searched the forums with little info about my situation, other than that it seems to be happening to a handful of others.
havnt changed any settings or added apps or anything to my phone for several weeks if not months. i am using the cell evo v1 rom. 2.11.50.20 radio. i dont have a proxy server running.
for the last 2-3 days my location has only updated itself once. google maps cant find me, as well as bing. manual update does nothing. soft reset does nothing. wifi connect does nothing. i can get on the internet, sms, mms, etc etc.
i read on tmonews.com that tmobile was turning on HSPA+ in my region in the last couple days, along with 18 or so cities around the US, can this have something to do with my problem?
not sure what else to do...cant find any info.
thanks
I'm having this problem now as well. Been working on it for a couple days. T-Mo has had HSPDA+ here in St. Louis since before I got my HD2, so I don't think it's due to them adding it to your region.
Strange things I've noticed so far:
It works if Wifi is on, but not connected to a network.
It works if you are connected through EDGE, but not 3G or H.
The AGPS server IP address in the registry is a private network address: 10.something. If someone with a stock TMOUS rom can look in /HKLM/HTC/SUPD AGPS/ for the Server IP key and post the contents, I'd like to know if it's the same.
These issues are the same as everyone with different devices has been having for a while now, but the older phones with the issue seem to work in some areas without the wifi and edge workarounds, and not others. Mine so far works nowhere without the workarounds.
Try going into the manila slider and on the weather tab press menu > Enable my location
^ that isn't even an option for me on the manila slider anymore for some reason. I disabled the gsm and ran on edge and it was able to locate. as soon as turned gsm back on it wouldn't do it again.
bump, anyone?

Maybe you should move to Denver. Colorado is beautiful this time of year.
Kidding aside, how about trying a hard reset?
from what i've seen on threads somewhat related to this, hard reset is a 50/50 shot. if i'm going do a hard reset where i would have to redo all of my settings and such, i'm just going to wait until the new version of the cell evo rom comes out. which is supposed to be soon.
i really dont understand what would cause this to suddenly happen. especially since it still works on edge. i tried wifi once and it didnt work, but i think i had my network connection still on. but regardless, this is pretty rediculous.
If you've traveled anywhere, your radio may be 'stuck' on a distant tower. This has happened on a couple of our phones and the tmo folks had to do a push/release/unstick type of signal to the phone. May be worth a try.
^ok, i called tmo tech support. mentioned about the possibility of sending me a reset signal, she said that was a possible scenario, but she was pretty confident that it was because my sim card is an older model sim card. claims that the sim card in my phone wasnt designed for 3g services, and any sort of change in the network (like them adding HSPA+ like i mentioned above) could interfere with the connections. she said the fact that i could do this on edge and not 3g is a dead giveaway that the sim card is the problem.
she said they are in the process of trying to get people to go to the corporate stores and switch to the latest sims. apparently this is happening to a lot of people, but the sim should be the fix.
i guess i'll shoot up there later on after work, or tomorrow, and i will give you guys a follow up on this.

Actually that does make perfect sense, and I suspect you'll find it clears up your problem. In fact, for anybody else that finds this thread, I suggest you try that step before other alternatives like hard-reset or ROM flashing.
yep, new sim card did it guys. i would recommend anybody having any connection issues to see if your sim cards are up to date.
edit: it was working before. now its only updating on edge again. not sure what to think or do. going to wait and see what happens when the new rom I use comes out.
any other ideas on this guys? new sim card only worked for a few hours. back to only updating 'my location' on EDGE and WIFI. pretty damn annoying. thinking about calling tmo support again to see if they'd send me a 'reset signal', but with having the new sim card you'd think that it wouldnt be a factor anymore, because i'd imagine it's already been reset.
the only other thing i could think of, and thats what tmo would probably tell me to do, is a hard reset. i'm sure they wouldnt be too happy with having a flashed rom on there either (not that i would tell them anyways).
if nobody has any other ideas but a hard reset, i'm going to wait for a couple days until the new release of the cell evo rom.
thanks
Yea. That weird problem hit my second HD2. I bought one 2 weeks ago and after your post paid more attention and of course noticed my location being Denver....
I deleted all preset locations and added custom one. It updated only once, right after location was activated....
However, wife's phone HD2 which was purchased on 3-24-2010 or original release date does not have that issue, ROM was updated to 2.13 a month ago or so...
Here you go...
Two of the same phones (supposedly), with the same stock ROM, with the SIM cards acquired about 5 years ago. One shows weather update without problem, second (newer one) has that dreaded nag....
I had a similar issue where the weather would only update once then freeze and never update again. All other 15 location updated but not my location. This was normal for stock and 2 roms, then I used energy rom and it now works. huh? Go figure.
Strange...I'm in St. Louis, as well...MO, that is...and it is working fine for me.
Try downloading the HTC connection wizard. This has fixed connection issues I've had before. I know Tmo has 3 networks to choose from MMS, Data, and Internet. I beleive you want data and may be your phone is selecting Internet.

ya that didnt work. either. still does it on edge though. the cell evo rom update will hopefully be here soon, if that doesnt fix it, the i'm not sure what to do.
I also have the problem of weather for my current location not updating (and the location not updating either). I have had the phone for almost a month and it updated regularly, although I noticed an occasional lapse for an hour or two. Following the suggestion by misticninja, I switched the band to Edge and I was able to update the location and weather. When I switched back to auto (3G), the update failed. It occurred to me that when I am in my basement office at home, I get Edge, not 3G. That may be why I got updates there. But I am sure it has updated in the past at my work location where I have very good 3G. Is this an HTC problem or a T-Mobile problem?

I'm having this problem ever since Tmo announced HSPA+ (4G speeds), but my sim is only 2mo. old! Is that an old sim?
You need to have your location enabled. Go to settings tab the location and then click on enable my location.
Hey guys,
i bought an onlocked DVP in Germany, and since the last weeks the thingy is getting a bit strange, Phone is working fine.
But sometimes people can't get trough to me? Always Mailbox, sms don't arrive at my phone? Its on and showing that it has full network connection ....
anyone else has experienced that before? is it a bug in the hardware or is my service provider at fault ?
Thanks in advance
i asked my provider if the network has some technical difficulties but they are running fine.
is then something wrong with my phone?
again full network connection but calls don't come through to me ...
Sometimes I have to reboot phone to get things running again. Try that, I haven't had any other solutions.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Sometimes the network connection does switch between no connection/G/E/3G for me, radio is basically flaky.
i've never had a problem. I don't even think i've rebooted the phone ever ethier (other than updates).
Always have H.
Hey, I'm experiencing 3G data issues. I have an unlocked Samsung Focus (Rogers) and recently bought a Samsung Focus S (AT&T) hoping it would be a better experience. Both my phone shows it has full bars and 3G or 4G availability but I find 60% of the time my phone has little to no data going to my phone, so none of my apps or news feeds get updated or they get updated slowly. When I'm on wifi the phone works flawlessly. I'm currently on a Fido network and none of my iPhone and Android unlocked phones had this problem.
I read this article,
http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/h...g-wp7-handsets
One of the odder quirks of Windows Phone 7 to appear since the platform's launch has been the absence of Automatic Data Configuration for users who swap SIM chips and network-hop with their unlocked handsets.
ADC should let the phone communicate with the network it's connected to in order to retrieve all the settings it needs in order to use the network's services. Samsung defended disabling ADC by saying that its phones are intended to only be used with a specific carrier
Now I know this is talking about MMS, but does anyone think it's related to 3G connectivity from a different service provider?

I'm not very familiar with the ADC stuff, but can't you install Samsung Tools and check "Set 'Run ADC' Flag" to run ADC on next boot? Any time I loose my connection after flashing or modifying, I use that, and I get my 3G back. Maybe it will help your situation?
I read over your problem and think enabling the auto sim setting through your diagnostics menu might help you out. It did help me. here is the link

kinda the same problem
i have an att focus v.1.3 on 7.8 via general cab files unlcoked and using tmo usa. my story... i just moved from Louisiana (where i happily used only edge knowing that was all that was possible with my setup) to Wisconsin. well on the car ride to the airport i looked down at my phone around the houston area and to my surprise, it had a big fat 4g on there, which is shocking for 2 reasons, i didnt know the focus even supported 4g, and a tmo sim in an att phone getting something that wasnt edge, so i played for a bit and it worked flawlessly. (fastforward through the planes making me turn on airplane mode etc etc) now im in my new home, where the same phone almost always has 3g.... the problem being, data doesnt work at all when its on 3g, only edge or 4g. i dont understand why or how different data signals are working, but i need to fix this. the focus doesnt have a 3g toggle, just general data which kills everything, and ive tried who knows how many things ive tried to make the 3g work(when its showing i have it.). i tried whats posted in this thread, i factory reset, plugged into zune, i have both network profile and my normal data (in settings) set to auto(ive tried every combination). and even a few things via diagnostics. any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello guys
I recently installed Windows Phone 7.8 Custom ROM. Experiencing frequent disconnection of the 3G data connection. I am sure that the problem is not from the network side as my friend using the same network on a iPhone has no issues.
Any suggestions?

Same issue here. Phone was fine on stock rom. Just put dynamic on my focus 1.3 and now 3g seems to show as connected but no data can be used. fine on Wifi...
Usually whenever i have a problem, i can find the solution by looking through the forum. But currently my phone is acting weird. I have been using the same rom for months, almost a year i think and this is the 1st time i have encounter this issue
3 days ago my phone was unable to charge. So i went to a 3rd party vendor to change the changing port. After that, my phone is having some connection issue.
I am not getting any signal at all. Rarely, i will be getting 1-2 bar with no data connection. I might randomly get afew bar of H+ for a minute or so before getting no signal at all. Most of the time, it will show (emergency call only)
Things i have done:
Replaced with 2 other sim card of different line(same service provider) to rule out hardware problem
-the other 2 line works fine. No connection problem at all.
Factory reset the phone to rule out software/rom issue
-still no difference. Even changed the rom from blisspop rom to dirty unicorn 5.1.1.
Called my service provider to check my connection
- they claim that my connection is not showing anything strange. (No issue from their side)
Change my sim card
-went to my service provider and requested for a new sim card. I am still experiencing the same problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
What do you mean by the other 2 line works fine? It sounds like a hardware problem to me.

Hello,
I own a N910CQ for 1.5 years now.
Two days ago, suddenly my phone started to disconnect from the network. Neither incoming/outgoing calls nor mobile data works *seamlessly*. The network connects momentarily and disconnects not so long after.
Some non-authorized fixer said that that was a typical Note series problem and asked me if I wanted to proceed further because he had to remove the front glass to try to fix it. I did not allow him to do it so I am stuck with a working but useless Note 4 right now.
Have you ever encountered such issue and if so how did you overcome it?
Thanks in advance.

Go to settungs/back up & reset and factory reset erase everything and try diffrent sim card also.maybe software or sim card issue.
No luck.
I switched from Polish ROM to Turkish one (both 6.0.1), do you think modem files might be causing such issues?
Fixer said nothing visible seemed like the root of the problem and that if I took it to a Samsung Service they would most probably like to replace the motherboard and that would cost almost as much as a new phone.
