N1 data connection issue... please help!

Hi everyone, I had a quick question I needed your assistance on.
Sometime I put my N1 into Airplane mode to save battery and when I finally turn airplane mode off I can never seem to get a data connection unless I totally shut off the phone and turn it back on again. Coming out of Airplane mode there will be a 3g signal on the status bar but only the up arrow will light up and anything needing data (browser, market, etc) wont work unless I totally shut off the phone and turn it back on again. Is this happening to you too?
The same thing happens if I open up the Quick Settings app and turn off mobile data (to save battery) and when I turn mobile data back on I have to restart the phone entirely for it to work properly.
It seems like my phone might be having an issue with data connection so I might have to call up HTC about it but I wanted to find out from the other members on the forum if this was happening to them too.
Thank you for your help

It's happened to me before using APNdroid.
Apparently you can fix it by turning the radio on and off in the testing menu (*#*#4636#*#), never tried it though.

Lose service, it never comes back

Lately, I've been having an issue where if I go into an area with no service (or at least I think I have no service) I never get service again, even when I'm in areas where I know I have strong service. Sometimes if I go into airplane mode and back, it comes back, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes when this happens, and I turn on airplane mode and turn it off again, the phone shuts itself off and I have to manually power it back on.
Anyone have this issue, or know what could be going on?

I have this same issue myself. Dunno what it is and wasn't able to fix it either. You can look through my comments to find an identicle thread I started a couple of days ago on this same issue titled "Data connection issue" to see if it helps.
I'll have airplane mode on for awhile but when I finally turn it off I get 3g data showing in the status bar but only one of the arrow's will light up if I try to use the browser and eventually sputters out. Same thing would happen with the Quicksettings app when I would turn off the apn data toggle for awhile, when I turn it back on there is no real data connection even though the 3g is showing...
I've tried the whole thing about pressing the #4#... etc to turn off the radio and turn it back on again but nothing works for me. I wish someone knew how to fix this

mine does the same thing. the only thing that works for me is turning it off and back on again. such a PITA.

mine does it also

I fixed my similar 3g problem by (re)flashing the radio from recovery.

same problem i just restart

same problem sometimes...i just switch airplane mode on and off and it usually fixes

I'm hoping that Froyo finally brings a fix for this (and full Exchange calendar), or it's Craigslistville for my N1.

This or a restart will always fix the problem when this happens to me.

4G Turns on Automatically

I am using LauncherPro and my 4G radio seems to turn on by itself automatically a few times a day. Is anyone else having this issue?

Are you using a rooted phone? if so what rom and what else have you added to it. Plus, if this is the issue, uninstall and use HTC sense, if it sill does it. then maybe your hitting the button?

do you have the 4g switch on your homepage? i heard that can cause problems when launcherpro crashes and reloads your 4g will be on. something worth looking at.

If you're using the non HTC 4g widget that was floating around, one of the bugs it has is it always starts off as "ON" when you boot...

It happened to me that the GPS turned on automatically, and I didn't open maps or anything, draining my battery. So when it starts doing this funcky stuff, just reboot.

I was rooted but now I'm not so I am back to stock. I did install the custom widget that was posted on this forum but no longer have it installed as I am using the one from Switch Pro now. I uninstalled the other one.

I had the same problem after installing the new SwitchPro Widgets. I resolved it by turning off the 4g Network notification. Settings>Wireless&Networks>4g Settings>Network Notification.

But doesn't that just turn off the notification? I don't want the radio coming on when I don't need it.

Turning off the notification caused the 4g to not auto enable, for me. I can't say why, just that it worked. I never saw the auto enable issue prior to installing SwitchPro Widgets, which I think are great by the way, so I'm not bashing the product.

I will give that a shot.
Thanks.

You're not alone
Was having the same problem with SwitchPro for my rooted incredible (also not 4g but 3g). I think it had something to do with how this and maybe other apps poll/access the settings for mobile network. Uninstalled switchpro and all is better.
its too bad i love the interface of switchpro

I had the same issue. I turn off 4G notification and everything is good now.
I use Switchpro.

Thanks, I didn't know what was turning on my 4G by itself, but now I know SwitchPro is the culprit.

That doesn't work. I don't even have the notification turned on and it still does it. It's because of SwitchPro as it never turned on automatically until I installed it.

Happened to me too, but he's somewhat right.
I had 4G Network notification turned off when I installed SwitchPro, but my 4G was automatically turning on also, especially after reboots.
So here's what I did to fix it.
Turn on 4G
Turn on Network notification
Turn off Network notification
Turn off 4G
Still have SwitchPro installed and 4G toggle on my widget, but 4G hasn't turned on automatically since...

Interesting... I'll try that.

Bump. Anyone have any success resolving this issue. Tried the above solutions with no luck.

Well this turn on/off notification kinda work but only for a while...
If you do the trick, 4G won't tun on automatically anymore. But if you manually turn on 4G and then turn off and reboot your phone (actually you don't need to reboot, a flight mode is enough to show the effect), 4G will be turned on automatically again...
Again, non of the 3rd party switches figured out how exactly this 4G switch work.

This is also how i did it.

~Myn's rls5 4G (issue or not) any one else~

I have now flashed release 5 twice and both times my 4G has stopped working. It will not come on with the drop down toggle and it will not start by using settings. The only way I can get it to work is to use switch-pro widget (I discovered that switch pro would work on accident).
I just want to clarify if I try to turn on 4g with the drop down toggle or in setting my 4g will search like it will come on but than it just turns off. So I decided to try to use switch pro widget and my 4g turned on and worked fine. I have flashed rls5 two times and did a full wipe both times, I did use TI backup to restore I'm wondering if that is causing the issue. I did check 4g with the toggle after flashing the seccond time and it did work.
So immediately after flashing rls5 4g works but something is causing it to stop any one have any ideas? I'm thnking maybe TI backup.

Delete switchpro and then try turning on 4G. It could also help to "clear data" from the switchpro application under the managing applications section.

Thanks MDizzle9, I was having similar issues (albeit completely different ROM). When I took out the SwitchPro (and wiped its settings before I did) my 4g now scans and actually stays on. Working great now!
Mahalo,

Yeah fixed it for me.

Make sure you do a full wipe before installing RLS5. I tried to just install over RLS4 and my 4G did not work. Backup, full wipe, install. Now going to give the removed data governor a try.

If anyone else is having this issue I have verified that by going into "Settings > Manage Applications > SwitchPro" and pressing "Clear Data" the issue is resolved.

Myn's RLS5 4G
My 4G will turn on and scan and even show bars but it doesn't work. It never fully loads. 3G works great. Wifi needs to be shut off and turned back on all the time to work correctly. Is anyone else having the same issues?

My 4G would not turn off unless I turned it off and rebooted two or three times.

[Q]

My situation:\
-I'm connected to wifi
-I leave the area without turning wifi off, so I lose connection obviously
-When I'm in a new area and want to search for networks it finds nothing, and sometimes the settings app force closes
-It only fixes itself when it connects to a wifi I previously had a connection on.
What is this? It is driving me nuts! It is happening on every rom..
I've even went back to a factory image and did the cleanest rom install you could imagine, but the situation is still there..
if someone could help me out that would be great

Do you use Xposed or do you have any root apps that influence WiFi?

No I haven't got any apps that handle connections. It is really frustrating though when I'm in a new area and want wifi..
Any suggestions? Cause all I am being told is to flash a factory image and start over. Which is what I have done several times.

Can you get a logcat when this happens? I suspect that in your case it might be a hardware problem.
