Hey,
My 3g connections were fine till yesterday when it suddenly decided to die today .
i have changed my sim to a nokia phone and 3g works fine there, but does not work anymore on my x10 . Any ideas?
Mine also just decided to drop 3G, then about 10 minutes later the signal dropped as well. No service.
Don't have another phone to test at the moment but i'm with Rogers. And I'm definitely in an area where signal should be found. Sitting at my desk at work where I play with my X10 all d.... I mean work.
Did you guys ROOT your phones? if yes, by which method?
I had similar problems with my 2G connection a few days back, i have a rooted X10i with R2BA026, did a factory reset, lost my root but got back online and not having problems since. Yet to root again

I've been having this problem for about 2 weeks now. First I was using Radio 1.50 on the AT&T network in South Jersey and out of the blue when the connection would go from 3g to edge I could no longer connect to the internet, receive emails or anything, voice was fine. When I would get back into 3g range everything would work again. So I upgraded to radio 1.54.07 and at first everything was fine no problems what so ever. But after 5 days this radio does the same thing, I cannot do browse the web or get my email if i go from 3g to edge but everything works fine once it is in 3g range. Anybody have similar problems or know how to fix them?
Just to clarify things, when it switches from 3G to Edge my phone still shows that there is a data connection but for example if i try and look up something in Opera it says looking up host and then times out. Any program trying to use the data connection times out, which is weird since I never had any problems til about a month ago. I've tried soft reseting and still all it will find and connect to the gprs signal but all my connections time out if i try to look anything up
I have the same misterious problem. Did anybody - especially jc67 - already found a solution for that?
Wondering if you can help me.
In my office my colleuge and I have an hd2 on UK o2 pay monthly. Untill about a month a go we were getting HSPDA internet access. Now we are only getting EDGE. I contacted o2 and they stated that the area is a very high coverage area and we should be getting HSPDA.
What makes matters more interesting is two other colleuges in my department in the same building, one has an iphone 3 and the other has an iphone 4, both guys are on uk 02 pay monthly and are getting full 3g access. I am getting 3g and hspda in other areas.
Does anybody know why we are getting edge instead of at least 3g?
thanks.
I had a very simillar issue, so perhaps the solution I found will work for you. A co-worker of mine bought an HD2 (immediately after seeing mine). In many areas at work the reception was terrible. I also noticed that at home, when I first had the phone I got 3G often, but after a few weeks I was suddenly stuck on the EDGE network (If I got any reception at all). Since messing around with the Android port I was forced to flash a new Radio ROM and it seems that was my problem all along. At home I now get constant full bars HSPDA. At work I get reception in places that I never did before. My coworker (still using stock radio) is having the same reception issues I used to have.
So my advice is try a few different radios and see if that helps.

Yea we did try that the other night thinking it might be a radio issue we went from 2.5 up to 2.12. What rom / radio did you use if you dont mind me asking?
Does anybody else have any ideas? This is happening with two ok uk hd2's in the office! My colleuge and I have tried multiple rom and radio upgrades but nothing is working but my other colleuge on iphone can get 3g sitting beside me
ive had this issue too, never knew how to fix it :/
AGHHHHHHHHHHHH Going to call o2 tomorrow and tell them I want to swap for a new phone, I am not getting the service I should be!!!
Ive tried just about everything I can think of. Ive tried updating the ROM, Radio, rilphone.dll - also tried going back to stock rom, yet my colleuge sits on his iphone right beside me on 3g its madness!
have you tryed puting your phone into flight mode then .ack on again let thephone pick the strongest hsdpa mast signal up. welcome to tbd way o2 works lol we get it all the time in york and leeds
That is a very interesting idea. I will try and report back thanks man!
I am really getting no ware with this. Phoned O2 and they tested phone in my network said that I should be ok I should have full hspda access, my colleuge is sitting on iphone with ull 3g and has a o2 dongle which has hspda access. I am getting fulll signal strength, changed the sim card and tried multiple radio and dll file combos and this is driving me nuts. Any help would be appreciated.
I have been doing some further testing and found something interesting. When I am at home and can connect to HSPDA. I went into the base band and changed it to WMCDA got full access. I then changed it to GSM band and got Edge. I then went into work to test it and tried to force it to WMDCDA but it wouldn't even connect at all no coverage.
I tried it back on GSM and full coverage but only edge support. Any ideas?
Today I'm having issues with 3g connectivity on my Lumia. The phone just doesn't connect no matter what. I tried restarting it, pulling the SIM but no luck. At first I thought: my bad for cutting the SIM card myself, maybe after some time it got messed up. When I came home I grabbed my gf's 710 and it was behaving the same way (her SIM card is brand new). Coincidence? I don't think so. A friend of mine with the same carrier (H3G) just told me he had no issues whatsoever connecting using 3g connectivity, and he has a Nokia N97. This is starting to piss me off...anybody else having connectivity issues today? It must be something Microsoft/Nokia related. God I'm about to throw this thing off the window.
3g connectivity
I had the same issue the day i bought it..had to reset the phone for 3g to work again and today i face the same issue again!

My God I hope this is not the case, that would be annoying as hell...this is just too weird, why would this happen on two phones at the same time? Geez this is worse than on Android...
Hoping the same..Even im waiting for a workaround to make 3g work on my phone.
Ok, I just woke up and tried again, it works now Microsoft/Nokia have to do something about this tho, this is not acceptable...
Doesnt work for yet..still unablle to figure out why whatsapp is running fine but no other 3g activity happening. Please let me know if u had to do something for 3g to work.

Nothing special really, I simply let it charge overnight, picked it up in the morning and it was working. Yesterday I tried everything: plugged it to the pc, switched flight mode on and off, tuned it off for a few minutes but no luck. The last option would have been draining the battery completely then plug it to the pc to turn it back on, but that wasn't necessary. Really weird...i still need to check if my gf's 710 is working now.
Seriously, this is not good. I noticed it since yesterday again. I had it when I first got my Lumia. I have weird issues such as being able to stream music non-stop over 3G, yet being unable to make or receive calls. What I do to make it work? I switch to airplane mode and back.
I got both Lumia and MicroSIM for free; didn't have these issues for weeks. I got the newest firmware (12072) using cab sender, might be any constellation? Typed on my Lumia btw
Apparently my gf's phone is working as well now, gotta love these random bugs...
Happened the same here, suddenly I got no signal at all, tried everything, didn't want to format the phone so I just waited and some hours later connection was back, but 2g only, next day all was fine with 3g also workin

I was already running the latest firmware when I faced this issue, it's not a matter of that I guess...

How long has it been going on like that? Mine started working again after about a day...
6 days now, really getting pissed off. I think its just a faulty model. I'm gonna try to factory reset. Anybody have any other ideas?
6 days is a pretty damn long while...do a factory reset and if the issue is still there you should definitely get it checked. I had no idea this thread would have gethered all of these people, this is something that Nokia should be really looking into...
So i called vodafone and they told me that when i took my new 2 year contract (and got the phone) i also got a new sort of contract that slowed down my internet.. while this makes sense it also doesnt because the speeds they were talking about should still have been fast enough.. But since i also only had 500mb i upgraded and the problem is now gone. everythings really fast again.
One question though: When i pick highest network setting i can only choose 3g.. but with my current contract plan i should get "H". anyone have any info on that?

Ok let me explain what is going on. In Holland (Im dutch also) we have "H" as the symbol for an ACTIVE 3G connection (meaning downloading/uploading data). Where "3G" means an inactive (or not consuming data) 3G connection, this is not worse than H, its the same.
On the US version you will see 3G when not downloading and 3G+ when downloading (which is the same as our H). Whatever letter there is does not matter as long its not a G you have your max speed.
Now also notice that there are a lot of areas where providers can not peovide the maximum speed (crowded/low signal/etc). Make sure you check your speed with full bars and dont be paranoid with data tests. If the speed is reasonable and IE9 can load a decent page, than its ok. If it wont load a page than your 3G does not work.
If your 3G does not work (what was the case for some of you) than set the APN settings manually to your peovider (or use the Nokia Network Setup app), goto Settings --> Cellular --> Edit APN.
Now 3G will work.
Again dont be bothered about whatever Icon it shows, H, 3G or 3G+ its all good (or 4G). As long as there is no G or E you will have the highest connection your phone can receive. This does not guarantee your provider can deliver you what you pay for (probably you get much lower speeds) and they might also cap your speed if you surpass your datalimit (as does TMobile NL with "unlimited internet").
Good luck
Hi,
I'm new to the forum so apologise in advance if this is a stupid question.
I recently bought a Sim Free S3. I haven't rooted it as i'm quite happy with the stock os for now. Everything had been working very smoothly on it. But since getting the over the air update for it my data signal randomly drops out or freezes. It seems to do it over WiFi too. It does this even though it shows a wifi connection or with the H+ visible. I've also noticed it cycle through H+ to 3G and back again.
Sometimes the signal works again on it's own and other times i have to switch the phone off and on aain.
I find it happens on tweakdeck the most but has also happened whilst browsing the net.
Do you think this could be linked to the update or could this just be a coincidence and there's an underlying hardware fault.
Let the new update run for a little bit...let it settle in
It might just be the spot u in and I doubt its the phone
Might be uodate but how long u been on the update?

Think the update came through on Tuesday.
Will give it a few more days to settle and see how it goes.
Thanks.
Still having an issue with this.
My internet worked all weekend then today started to fail on me again today.
The phone shows a HSPA connection but will not download any data.
I know it's not the network as my wife is on the same network and is having no issues.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Same problem
I am having the same problem here. I just bought SGS3 about 3 days ago and I started noticing data drop out yesterday. I wish someone could help me. I was hoping the problem to be solved by the time we get firmware update.
BTW, I am also having problem using usb tethering or wifi hotspot. After using usb tethering for about 10 minutes, it stops connecting although the phone still has data connection.
Is it hardware or software problem???
Thanks!!!
having the same issue after power saving goes on i lose h+ until god knows when
Hey guys,
I'm currently having problems with my mobile data. I was running stock 4.3 and flashed to CM 13 (I did a backup of course). My mobile data was working fine at that moment.
Since my the front glass was broken but the LCD was intact, I decided to send in the S3 for repair to a shop that fixes the glass but does not touch the LCD. I got the device back two weeks later and everything was good.
The problem started happening, when I put in my SIM card, I noticed, that 3G or H is not working at all (or very slow). Pages took a minute to just load the HTML. I thought that it was probably an issue with CM 13 or APNs and updated to the newest nightly. Still, not working there. I tried calling the phone and sending SMS and everything worked.
I then decided to go back to my backup of Stock because maybe CM13 was bugged. But now the 3G is not even working on my backup of stock. Regular G works, but is too slow to use. When I switch to 3G the connection is too slow and acts strange by switching to G or just losing the connection entirely.
I checked my APN and that didn't help.
Could that been cause by the repair? Maybe broken the antenna or something? But isn't it inside of the phone and shouldn't be touched by a front glass repair?
It's not an EFS problem I think, since I still have my IMEI and calling works, internet on G works as well but not on 3G.
If it's the antenna, how hard is it to repair?
Thanks for trying to help me!
This happened to me,
Internet will only work on
E, G, H, and H+
Internet will not work on

Ask your carrier if they use Fast Dormancy, I turned off Fast Formancy and it's fine
Edit: do research if you wanna know more about Fast Dormancy
Thanks for the help, but unfortunately that doesn't work either.
I've witness another strange phenomenon where the mobile data is working a few meter away from my house but not near it. The strange thing is, it used to work and also works on other smartphones with the same carrier.
Aliens.. No seriously.. If you can get Hspda then there's nothing wrong. Your device has determined that the signal isn't strong enough to lock on so it chooses a stronger signal.
