I've unlocked a T-Mobile MyTouch 3G (32B) for AT&T. I rooted my phone yesterday purely out of spirit for experimentation. I've installed CyanogenMod-4.2.8.1, found on the website. I'm trying to connect to the market, but no type of data connection is being made.
The unusual part is that I have full signal strength. E or G sometimes pops on, but then drops off. I've quadruple-checked the APN settings, and they're fine. However, I did notice at one point the password had been deleted. I am aware that my phone version is not able to get on 3G band (although I'd like to find a hardware mod~)
I'm almost certain it's the Cyanogen ROM simply because before rooting, I had no data problems. Seems even a WiFi connection won't give me data. I've searched the internet to see if anyone else has had this problem, but it doesn't seem so. Any ideas?
Disabled WiFi and I have data. Apparently the two don't get along well. Just noticed an update to the ROM, so we shall see what will happen!
Or, if anyone has any suggestions on an alternative ROM, I'm not looking for anything too fancy (the MyTouch is serving as pure novelty at the moment; HTC Fuze is my primary phone). Speed and battery optimizations are most prefered, bluetooth/USB tethering a plus, and if it runs aHome or Home++ without a hitch, I'd be content.
I just upgraded to CM 4.2.9.1 on my MT3G 32B and am having data issues. Could it be a coincidence? Could it be T-Mobile upgrading to HPSA? Or could it be CM?
It's possible to be the ROM, as I'm on the AT&T network. I'll give the updated ROM a test as soon as I get some time to it.
Try reflashing radio. http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html
Works fine on my 32B Magic. Tried running fix_permissions, wiping and reflashing?
Got the same problem on my G1 with 4.2.9.1
When Wifi is active, after about 10 minutes i have no data connection anymore.
If i disable wifi i don't get this problem
i too have had this problem on my three magic 32a. i rebooted this morning and it went back to normal though. have only seen it once so i can't really comment on the cause. typically i have wifi always on and location by networks off...
How did you install CM?
Did you install the HTC 1.6 rooted base first, then the CM image after without re-booting?
You have to the first time you install CM. You don't say whether you did or didn't.
Did you remember to configure the APN correctly???
maybe related to instal issue?
I have the same issue but did "install the HTC 1.6 rooted base first, then the CM image after without re-booting". However upon booting into Cyanogen, I couldn't get past the "touch the android" screen and thus had to boot back into recovery mode and clear all data. After reboot I was able to pass the touch the android screen, but perhaps that wiped the 1.6 base settings?
Do I need to re-install, what if i have the same problem with getting past touching the android again?
I haven't tried updating the radio, but will try that first.
mobile network data
Found it: looks like toggle for mobile network data is turning it self off. Other than to conserve battery / airplane mode is there ever a reason to have it off? (is it bad to have on with WiFi?)
thanks.

Hello,
If you don't want the boring details of how I discovered the problem feel free to skip the next couple of paragraphs and go straight to the technical details.
I got my first Android phone (Motorola Defy) a couple of weeks ago and at first I was only using it with wifi because my data plan wasn't activated yet. While playing with it a little I realised that I saw a lot less ads than my boyfriend on his 6 month old Defy. I thougt it was weird but, well, seeing less ads is not a big problem.
Then when I got my data plan I saw that when I wasn't home I saw a lot more ads, so I began to suspect it had to do with how my phone was connected to the internet : wifi or 3G.
Next I wanted to try out Astrid and when I tried to log in using my Google account it failed repeatedly. Until I disabled wifi and it logged in fine using 3G.
Then I installed RTÉ DocOnOne to listen to documentaries while falling asleep. When wifi is enabled, it cannot start up because it can't connect (network timeout). Over 3G, no problem.
At first I thought it was my router blocking ports or something but it happens with different wifi APs and more importantly my boyfriend's phone, connected to the same access point, loads everything without a problem.
Let's sum up:
Some apps can't access the network using wifi but work fine when using 3G.
It happens regardless of the wifi AP (tried 4 different ones with different routers) and another phone using the same app connected to the same wifi AP can access the network just fine.
If I initiate the connection using 3G then switch to wifi (typically I launch the app with 3G, switch wifi on without closing the app), it still works after that (RTE DocOnOne has no pb streaming the documentaries once it has launched)
My phone is a Motorola Defy, French retail ROM, not rooted, no motoblur account (skipped the configuration), Froyo 2.2.2 (already on the phone when I got it), system version (if that means anything to you) Version.34.164.3.MB525.Retail.en.FR, kernel 2.6.32.9-g050ccf2, build 3.4.2-164
I can't give as much details about my boyfriend's phone (that doesn't have the problem) because he's not here right now but I can tell you that it is a Motorola Defy too, French retail (I think) ROM, Froyo updated from preinstalled Eclair (using the official Motorola update), not rooted, with a motoblur account
I have no idea if that's relevant or not, but my phone has the "google maps 5.7.0 crashes on Defy" issue (18446 in the android issue tracker) and my boyfriend's phone hasn't.
Has anyone encountered this issue before ? I couldn't find anything on this forum or with a google search.
Is there any tool I can use to try and find the cause of the problem ?
Thank you for reading all this, sorry if my message was long but I wanted to give as much detail as possible to help the nice people who may find what is wrong with my phone
I didn't read all..
but if your phone don't have problems then check this:
1. go to settings
2. Select "Location & security settings"
3. enable this "Use wireless networks" Location determined by WiFi and/or mobile networks
4. test does it work...
Hello manumanfred,
I did what you suggested (actually it was already checked) and the problem is still there (tried unchecking it too).
I am not sure why you suggested it, was that related to some phones having wifi problems in some countries ? I read a thread about that when I was researching my problem but it is different. In my case, wifi works most of the time, but some requests always time out.
Thanks for trying
Anyone else has an idea of something I could try ?

Hi, It looks like the problem I have and which is location dependent but for me 2G works better than 3G. It seems that the Defy or CM10 is not working good in circumstances were it switches from one network technique to another. Reboots I have:
Reboot after switching automatically Wifi on with Easy Profiles. Effectively it then shuts down 2G/3G because Wifi is switched on.
At my work where we have indoor coverage with 2G antenna's. Much less reboots there if I put the phone on 2G only.
Some reboots I can't explain
I log my reboots with reboot logger from the play store. Pictures in Play store are not English but app is in English. Handy app!
I did play with several basebands but in the end the default baseband for my location worked best (3.4.2-145 Central Europe). More frequent reboots with others or the went info flightmode spontaneous.
No solution but you could play with the following settings:
Settings - In Wireless & Networks: More - Mobile neworks:
National data roaming
GSM//UMTS Network preference
Use only 2G networks
I did not find a combination which ends rebooting once in a while (a little less than one time a day on average).

[Q] DefyPlus Root successful(?) 2g-GPRS messed up-Please Help
@Mods: If this thread is not placed appropriately kind move/merge as appropriate. I did try to search for this peculiar problem but was not successful. Thank you.
Hello everyone,
Today I pulled the trigger and rooted my Defy Plus inspite of all the misgivings I had about my ability to carry it off successfully. And in hindsight my misgivings seem to be very justified.
The details of my device are:
Build # 4.5.1-134_DFP-231 & Android ver 2.3.6
SBF : 45.0.2310.MB526.AsiaRetail.en.03
The rooting guide I followed was as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542956
Recommended SBF's were downloaded and the method outlined followed
The long and short of it is:
*Most likely the rooting has been successful - How do I know? Well I installed a screenshot application from Google which needs a rooted device and it said my device is rooted and it worked successfully.
* The problem? The problem is, my primary objective to root the phone was to enable some call recording app or the other to work and if that did not work go for WIUI GB or ICS custom ROM which if I understand correctly is configured to allow call recording. My data usage is minimal at best restricted to some emails , work related browsing when I am away from my office. For this I use a 2g connection and that suffices. However after the rooting if the network is set for 2g the device does not list my service provider, even if I do a manual search for service provider. The very same phone works flawlessly if I opt for automatic network selection and it defaults to 3g which I do not want due to cost implications.
Now is there a way to resolve this issue without rooting a custom rom? Or do I need to flash a custom Rom that to extricate myself from this mess? Or do I need to go back to factory settings using SBF the device is shipped with?
Thanks in advance for any help
Success - Baseband reset for India
I was facing the same issue , after rooting my phone as indicated in my earlier post.
Subsequent to that I installed WIUI Rom - the stable version - from here, and used the inbuilt Baseband utility to reset baseband for India. Issue resolved.
Hello everyone !
I am French, I apologize in advance for my English
I have a Moto X Play (update, Android 6, stock rom) and I have a "problem" WiFi lately :
The phone works fine, except that I feel that WiFi is crippled, but only through time ! When I make a speed test, I was about 1/3 of the available bandwidth (2-3 Mbps on the 11 available).
The problem is even trickier because the Play Store updates are no longer (continuous progress bar), and all the more strange that I am the only one to have this problem : Motorola Moto G2 x2, LG Fino and computers portable display normal results and no problems.
I tried to change settings of the box, without result (having graduated in Networks, I know about networking, but I may have missed a few things ).
Here are the "tests" that I made, and that did not work :
factory reset
Using Wifi N (20 or 40 Mhz)
Connecting to a WiFi repeater
Enabling / disabling IPV6
Using Conectify to create an access point
Test on another box
I therefore appeal for your help. If you have ideas (without root the phone, I want to keep the Motorola warranty), let me know !

i am on RR ROM abd i have the "not continous progress bar" in play store too. but i can live with it. maybe its a feature not an issue.
Hello, the problem of the playstore is rather a consequence of the WiFi problem. I think contact Motorola monday.
Hello!
I have LG Spirit 4G LTE H440N
Location is not working, when I turn off data or not being registered in any network after update to v6.0.1. With v5.0.1 things were kind of fine, laggy sometimes, but overall it was working and now with the same apps with preloaded maps it doesn't work at all. Here's what I've done:
- GPS test app locates good amount of satellites "In View" instantly, but it's always 0 "In Use" with no fix;
- This phone was already two times in warranty repairs (both only because of the problem described here), both times HW was changed. First time they changed some part, don't know what that was, but second time it was mainboard, I have a different IMEI now. Warranty is still ON.
- Tried to use GPS in offline with Samsung Galaxy phone, and it works there on Marshmallow.
Can anyone suggest a solution?
