Problem with internet connectivity on Aria.

Hey all,
I've got this odd problem with my Aria running Cyanogen 7.1 with Drowing's kernel.
Consistently throughout the day while moving from place to place where I either have Wifi, strong 3g connections, or both, that I will lose internet connectivity until I reboot which will restore both internet and sync/facebook capabilities. At first I attributed the problem to Juice Defender messing with wifi and 3g disabling so I uninstalled it. After today though, I realize the problem must be something else because the exact same thing happened.
I have yet to try doing a data wipe and re-installing 7.1, but I will if it could fix the problem.

There have been many reported data issues (in the kernel's thread and the nightlies' thread) with the later builds of CM7 using that kernel.

You should be able to simply flash the CM7 ROM on top of your current installation, without wiping anything, which will revert you back to the default kernel. It's not clear why but when the Android version number bumped up to 2.3.7, DC's kernel has caused data problems for some people. You shouldn't need to wipe any data to correct the problem, but you will have to stop using the kernel -- at least until someone figures out why it's happening.

Gratitude for the replies.
I was getting that paranoid Windows itch that something was just not feeling right so I wiped everything and re-installed 7.1. Surprisingly without the kernel I haven't had any issues with the internet problem described above and the phone is actually performing better than ever. I am interested in finding out exactly why that happens, but I can live without it.
Thanks again guys!

The developer is as well.

I'm still having this issue with the stock kernel. Does anyone know which was the last nightly that didn't suffer from this?

I have not had any data issues with any nightly using the stock kernel. You could re-flashing your current one (or later if possible).

I found that any 3rd party apps that control Wifi (Scanners and such) tend to permanently disable/make me unable to connect until I reboot.

I've been running the latest nightlies during this time but I haven't reformatted in probably 2 months.
I went into my router and gave the Aria a reserved DHCP address 4 days ago. Since then the data hasn't dropped out a single time. Maybe dhcp is part of the problem?

[Q] NexusHD2 ICS v2.7 - Data connection problem

Never posted in these forums before, since I've never suffered any problems with my HD2 until now. So I will post it my way.
Background info:
I have been using tytung's Android ROMS since he was developing Froyo, starting with MAGLDR. Since then I've been constantly upgrading to his next releases. When cLK eventually got stable (around the latest stable GB releases I think), I switched over to that bootloader. Not having any problems. When ICS finally got it's HWA fully working I switched over to this. I had never encountered any problems with my phone ever, which I am greatly thankful for... That was until now.
My problem:
Approx a week after installing tytung's NexusHD2 ICS v2.7, I started having problems with the phone's data connection in general. When I turn on the phone, it MAY get signal to my data carrier. Sometimes I do, other times I don't. I can try to put the phone in "Plane mode", and back to normal. But that has the same effect as when i turn off/on the phone. Other times when the signal bar shows that I either have full or 50% signal (two dots), I am not able to call, send sms nor browse the internet at all. WTF!? I have tried disabling the WiFi but this has no effect. When I search for data providers(carriers?), I may find all of them after two minutes of searching, I'll find none OR it will search for ever and never come to any conclusion.
Searching:
I have searched through nearly the whole developement thread, and also searched through this Q&A thread, but I can't find anyone who suffers the exact same problems as me. There are some threads and problems similar to mine, but none of their "fixes" has killed the problem for me.
What I have tried:
- Tried the WiFixerFree-solution
- Tried different (older) kernels
- Tried flashing older tytung releases (2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6)
- Did a fresh install
- Extending the system partition (in case of bad blocks)
no success
I don't think this has anything to do with tytung's newest release. It's just weird that this recently started happening, especially after working so good for so long. Does anyone have any clue on what I can do now?

Disassemble your phone and make sure the antenna tabs are touching the contacts,I did this and sure enough one was not touching. After reassembling, full signal was restored.

Omg found the stupidest solution to this irritating one week-long problem.
I tried to extend the system partition even further. Weird that this solution rarely have come up as an option in the forums.
Hope this is helpful to anyone else who may suffer the data drop-problem.
EDIT: Nope... Just a temporarily solution. I can't understand why this should have something to do with the hardware, when I haven't done anything that could harm the phone in any way. But I'll do it asap, and report back. Thank you for the tip.

The 3g connection not working and I can't even use the gprs and I can't enter APNs to let the phone access the internet please please please help me
Now I can use the internet only through the Wi-Fi connection!!!!

Any good news? I have this problem also, after flashing 2.7. I have restored my HD2 back to my previous backup, but still suffering this problem.
The 3G/H signal jumps between 0 ~ 4 bars, but most of the cases it has 0 bar, then switches to edge. If the internet get disconnected, it cannot reconnect automatically. have to turn off data and back on to connect to the internet.
I flash the latest radio, no help. reflash the sd card, no help. reformat the phone, no help.
The last thing i want to try is to part my phone and reconnect the data antenna

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1190180
if nothing helps/i break my HD2, then it is time to buy a new phone.

Reporting back. Just installed int2ext+, and can report back that after only 3 minutes of use that my data dropped... again. I were not able to call, and neither send sms or anything.
I will get the needed tools to disassemble my phone and TRY to fix the connections. When this is done I will report back again.
Thanks for all tips I have gotten so far! I love this community!

Fffffffffffffffff
NAH! Just disassembled my phone and straightened up the pin that was the problem for this guy
After 2 minutes of uptime, the signal dropped to two bars, then after ten more seconds it dropped to zero... Now it is back to "normal", doing random bumps from 0, to two to four bars. Soooo... f*uck

The pins were my problem, I only have data dropout when going into the market or sending/receiving MMS's now.

i have similar problem too.after using wifi tethering. 3g IS not working anymore till reboot. sometimes 3g automatically change to 2g and vice versa
Any solution?

[Q] Nexus 4 Notification Delay

This topic has been discussed a lot of times on internet but I am really concerned about fixing my phone as no matter what, if i am on 2G, 3G or WIFI I stop having notification after 15-20 minutes. In fact I tried PINGING my device and PING stops really after 15 minutes. Anyways, currently I am desperately waiting for 4.3 and there is just no NEWS of the RELEASE DATE whatsoever. But also I am not much into CUSTOM ROM or KERNELS but was wondering if I can only update the KERNEL version (i.e., FRANCO if any one suggest) and solve this issue. I want to be remain on STOCK ANDROID but is it possible to only upgrade the kernel ?
Also I would need tutorial for the quickest root and the safest kernel to follow and keep upgrading it all the time. Thank you.

The choices and threads are out there for you if this is truly bothering you. You can stay stock and flash a couple of files to test out if your issue is fixed. Rooting is not the end of the world and you can always go back. As for tools there are multiple stickied root methods just choose one. Also no guarantee 4.3 fixes the issue. I flashed a couple files from Development in the Wifi/Fix thread and my problems went away. May for you it may be the prima drivers but you wont know until you do it

I will be still waiting till 4.3 is released but just one thing I wanted to confirm when you said your problem was FIXED. Was it on both 3G / WiFi because this issue occurs on both interface.

Are there any other particular apps that still gets notification after everyone don't?

any APP has the same issue. I use the following and in everything it is the same frustrating issue.
whatsapp
Talk.to
Email (Even if the settings are on 1 hour INBOX CHECK, it never works until i manually do the sync)
These are the only apps I always expect to notify me INSTANTLY. Also it was the same in Google talk and any other IM apps.

for me I had mostly issues on wifi and now I can ping my phone after 30 minutes and it still going. I never honestly noticed it on 3g but either way you have options try them first

Thanks but it also happens in 2G because 3G I can't use due to my work environment where I can't keep charging my phone and in 3G this phone battery drains quickly. Well, two more weeks ill wait for 4.3 and if Google is still fooling then I will go ahead with ROOT and some KERNEL experiments. Thanks a load.

4.3 Wifi issues?

Anyone else having wifi issues with 4.3? I am 100% stock unrooted, installed the official google factory image with fastboot doing a full wipe including user data. I have been running AOKP and have gotten sick of the issues this tablet has and though that going 100% stock to see if it solved any of the problems. I have only been installed since last nigh but I am already having wifi issues. The wifi seems to loose connection and has to be toggled on and off to get it going again. Anyone else seeing this?

I can confirm this.

I actually think my Wi-Fi is even better now.

I had the issue you described on 4.2.2 but not so far with 4.3, only time will tell. I'm getting random YouTube app freezing but these do not appear to be WiFi related. I flashed the 4.3 update over my existing 4.2.2. Stock image so have a different base then yours.

No problem with WiFi, it also seems more stable now.

No WiFi issues here.

As others have said, I've found my wifi reception/stability has improved with the 4.3 image. My older 802.11b hotspot didn't work with the N10 reliably before the upgrade to 4.3, regularly dropping the connection. Now it works fine, and always at full "bars" reception.
My 5Ghz 802.11n AP worked fine before, and still works fine now.

Hi, I too have had poor wifi on my wife's nexus 10 since 4.3.
Every night for last couple months my wife and I have played ticket to ride in in bed. From the moment she reset it to apply the 4.3 update (between games) she has suffered from dropouts and the game continually disconnects. Was running perfectly for months until this update was applied.
Given that she updated between games and we noticed the issue immediately after the update I am sure there is a change for the worse in the wifi configuration under android 4.3.

I am also experiencing wifi issues with the stock 4.3 update. No SoD so far like with 4.2.2 but since 4.3, wifi quality will degrade when I am using it heavily. I will still have 2-3 bars but the connection will slow to a crawl until I toggle wifi off/on. (I feel I should add: quality router, multiple devices without issues) The only thing I have done to this ROM is chainfire root. It seems some have the issue and some don't. I'll prob try and install again tonight to see if it helps.

I have been experiencing a loss in internet connectivity after 1-2 hours of inactivity now that I am on 4.3. The WiFi icon turns gray but stays connected to the router. I rebooted the router, but no help. I have advanced settings set to WiFi always on. I had WiFi optimization on, and am now testing to see if things change with it off. I never had any connectivity problem with 4.2.2 and nothing else has changed. If this keeps up, I may flash back to 4.2.2 till things get better.

That is a very simple fix if you just asked around, or searched and you would see the three primary causes.

I ended up using an app called safe charge that seemed to do the trick. What were the other causes or fixes for this? I just wanted to go stock for a bit while AOKP and CM get the 4.3 builds up and running so i would have a reference to compare the performance and stability to.

I have filed a bug report for this here https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=58206&thanks=58206&ts=1375129699

The leading causes of sleep of death issues are:
The CPU governor uses hotplugging, the majority of the users on this tablet get SoD with hotplugging on
Voltage was tweaked a bit lower and is not enough to run your CPU properly
You are running Franco's R12 kernel which has a very widely known SoD issue.
It is also possible that the version of the AOKP kernel you may have been running had the same tweak that Franco did and was also causing a SoD. 90% of the time when someone has a sleep of death issue on this tablet it is because of something from the kernel that is causing the issue, you can try out KTManta or Trinity kernel (also both of them have beta kernels available for 4.3).

FWIW, after turning the WiFi optimization off, the WiFi status icon has remained blue and I have not lost the internet connection when sitting idle for hours.

[Q] Nexus 10 wifi and bluetooth not working on 4.3

Does anyone have this same problem? I already did factory reset for about 6 times. wipe cache and dalvik but still, the issues are still there. the wifi keeps on dropping and so slow compared to 4.2.2. sometimes it stuck downloading on play store, and takes too long to load on email. The wifi bar is full and blue, so I don't know why this happens. The bluetooth also does not work with my n7000. Whether sending or receiving files. It just shows error. I'm on stock 4.3 with root. Issues are there with or without apps installed. Can anyone help? Thank you! I'm also wondering if other nexus 10 users have this problem since I read some don't. I'm really frustrated with Google, I waited 8 months for Google to fix surfaceflinger and now WiFi and Bluetooth do not work like it used to. I'm never satisfied with this device, I wish I hadn't bought their product. A waste of money and time!
I don't know if this is double post, if so please tell so I can delete.

Im having wifi issues. I will connect at 130mb for like a min and then it drops to 24 and stays there. It will also go from showing full bars and barely load anything and then drop to 1 or 2. I take my wifes nexus 7 and she has no issues with it. I keep doing searches every day to see if more people are having this problem. Im using a asus rtac66n router which im only a couple feet away from

Same exact problem on galaxy nexus with 4.3. Problem from earlier android version is back!

Try changing the channel bandwidth from default 20/40MHz to 20 MHz only.

After trying for a week, it seems like custom rom (vanilla rootbox) fixed both of my issue. Both wifi and bluetooth now work. And my wifi is now fast just like in 4.2.2. However, surfaceflinger seems not fully fix yet. I still experience ram issues like apps keep on restarting until I need to reboot to clear ram. Anyway, it's still worth a try. I would recommend you to try vanillla rootbox maybe it could help you!

Ok, I'll try that. Is the theory here that bluetooth interferes with the wider band?
