Hey everybody! I know I am not the only person having this issue so I thought ide make a post for it. It seems when I flash any custom rom, be it hybrid r3, vibrant9 or bionic, data connection is lost. In settings> about phone> status.. Mobile network status; disconnected. Pushing the build.prop provided by eugene and making sure apn settings are correct have no effect. Evan rebooting a few times is null. Upon contacting t-mobile and having them manually restart my network service I was hoping that would do the trick, but had no while having a custom rom active. With stock rom data connection its good. So I can't help but wonder why none if the roms give me my data connection. I've also noticed while using custom roms there is no way to add t mobile to accounts and sync, though perhaps that ability only appears when you have an active data connection. Anyone else who has had this issue found a solution? I am loving these custom roms, great job devs!

Making sure apn is correct is indeed in the book he wrote.

Saying they are doesn't tell me Nothing.
Point being ( I get a Ton of Help Q. regarding help, but none really give my anything to go on )..
The info give tells me Nothing as he's not provided any kind of log & honestly no info regarding the Problem other than his on words...
Sucks I know. Not trying to be a Jerk...
But, this is why most of use never reply back to anyone..

Good point that. I used to do tech support for the magenta colored death star for 4 years. I stopped shortly after the g1 launched. There were some customers I wanted to tell to put the phone on the table and don't touch. By the way op, make sure the apn is set to epc.tmobile.com I have had zero problems with data on any of the roms you mentioned. In fact vibrant9 was the best data throughput for me out of all of them.

To the OP's point, I was wondering if I've done something to bork my 3g data throughput. I keep reading the multiple megabit speeds people are posting, and I can't get anywhere near that. The fastest I've ever achieved is 1 mbit u/d in Dallas, which is supposedly one of the stronger areas for T-Mobile.
Currently running Eugene's Vibrant9 with Jac's 1.2Ghz OCv4 Kernel. I'm contemplating flashing completely back to stock with Odin, then seeing if that improves things any. Any of the guru's have any opinion on if that might make a difference, or would I be wasting my time?

So apparently since I have less than 10 posts im not good enough for the CM7 Thread
I have been using CM7 RC.2 and RC.3 on the Thunderbolt and I have been having a problem with 3g and 4g connectivity. From what I have been reading in that forum, the Froyo radios are supposed to be working well.
My problem is that the tread devoted to Tbolt Radios doesnt make any sense to me. I wouldn't say that I'm new to this community but I don't really understand the difference between the images, nor which one is considered "Stock".
I Tried the radio that was listed in the CM7 OP (1.16.00.0223r) and I had horrible results. Many times when I was driving I had no connectivity at all.
Can anyone send me a link to the radio image that im supposed to be using?
Thank you

I had poor radio experience while on CM7. I am not to sure if the ROM has anything to do with it, but I had tried flashing various kernels and still had poor radio performance. I am on the GB MR2 and hit 4G for the first time in my house. Granted it was on brief. I am also running BAMF 2.0 #5
download lte on/off from the market. switch between cdma lte/whatever the hell (i don't remember but you'll know what i'm talking about) and cdma auto then go back after you get 3G. also try fix permissions.
Well I have been using the switch from the market but it doesn't seem to have the option to turn 4G back on. Right now I'm on CDMA auto so only 3G. Instead of saying LTE/CDMA Auto or whatever it just says unknown. Which is why I assume that I'm using the wrong radio image.
Again I am using the radio image that is listed in the cm7 forum OP.
And I do know that it is still a very early build so if this is just random bugs that are specific to my phone I would not be surprised.
Thanks again for the help guys

Don't use the switch app.. Go to settings then wireless and networks and there is a toggle option in there.

Hey guys, I'm new here so let me know if Im messing up any board rules or customs!
I did a quick search but didn't hit on any exact results... I connect to my home or work WiFi without any drops (which is a whole other situation) but once I leave the range of the WiFi network my EVO doesn't realize and stays connected which means I won't get emails because there is no active connection... So far my only fix has been to turn my WiFi on and off again.. is anybody else seeing this?
It's not the end of the world just a minor nuisance! Im set to auto frequency, best performance and always keep WiFi on during sleep. I feel like that last one might be the issue but I don't want to go to 3G on standby!
Thanks

I have read about some other people having the same issue here. Wifi as a whole is very glitchy on this device right now and hopefully fixes will be part og hts's fist update.
I am experiencing the same issue. Would love to know how to resolve it.
Sent from my EVO using XDA
I'm also experiencing this. It is slightly annoying, but not a deal breaker. I'm sure it'll be fixed soon enough.
Mine does this as well, but goes a step further. Once I leave the Wifi area I can toggle Wifi off to drop the connection and use 3G. However, when I go back to a wifi area, any network ive previously connected to states not in range. I can pick up new networks, but not existing networks. The only solution is to reboot the device.
Is something the HTC set for battery saving, what happens when you connected to wifi with any device is that it check every 60-90-180seconds (wherever the programmer set) so your phone won't check right away, but when it does it will disconnect, every phone has it but probably HTC put up a high number that way it saves more battery

This is starting to get quite frustrating. If I leave the house and need to use navigation or anything requiring data I have to toggle wifi off. Has anyone figured this out or is it potentially a hardware issue where I should seek a replacement?
I made a thread about returning my EVO for another one. I had the same issue. The second EVO is working perfect so far. Way better battery life with this one too.

Were you by chance also having issues with MMS downloading? I really like the phone but some of these little quirks are starting to annoy me.
Anyone else having this problem? I haven't seen a fix or any other posts which makes Mr think this may be a device issue. Thanks for any help.

I spoke with HTC yesterday and they were not aware of a widespread issue with this. When I get more time I will dig into it a bit more as I believe it can probably be fixed with mods to wpa_supplicant. In the meantime, I will be sending some logs to HTC as well.

It's definitely software-based, as it didn't happen with MaXimus 2.1 or CM10, but DOES happen with MaXimus 2.2 and the stock ROM. Oddly, it never happened with the stock ROM before now.
Does it happen to you on more than one WiFi network?

It happens on every wifi network I've been on - private home networks, work networks, and open networks. It doesn't always fail to switch but 90% is too high for me.

Alright so I've never rooted my phone or done anything fancy with it as far as that goes. Recently the ICS update was released and I didn't update right away, wasn't sure how bad it would mess up my current settings etc. After reading that it retained all my settings and functionality I decided to upgrade. Ok so first off I can't Tether anymore and my portable wifi hotspot does not work either, I'm on Rogers and in Canada, never heard of 'tethering plans' such as other people refer to with AT&T. I have my 4g enabled, can retrieve internet access, and as soon as I turn on my portable hotspot my phone is unable to access the 4g anymore, It enables a wifi hotspot but anything that connects to it gets limited connectivity and can't access the internet either. It's like the phone just shuts it off automatically. I used to use this all the time and was one of my favorite features about my phone.. If I'm unable to use this I don't even want the data plan that I currently have, the data plan I decided on DUE to this feature.. So I'm gonna be pretty pissed off if this amazing little update is trying to force me to pay for something that I already pay extra to utilize properly.
I could be wrong here but I'm pretty damn sure that the battery life has dropped by close to 20% I can watch the percentage go down while I'm doing stuff and it seems to be losing life a lot quicker now, and I noticed that after the first day of using ICS. The resolution on the unlock screen seems to be botched, It's very squished... My old version never did this, and it's kind of annoying for my background images and having the clock looking out of whack.
I'm not sure what to do, there doesn't seem to be an update and as far as I know the update has been out for awhile now, why hasn't this stuff been fixed, who can I make official complaints to as far as Samsung or Rogers goes? I've checked these forums a bit and people seem to be having a lot of issues, some similar to mine some not, some I may have just had the luck to avoid so far. Is factory reset the only real option to fix things, and will that even help my tethering issues?
Anyone? :\
Is there a way to revert back to the old version?
There's a definite increase in battery drain while the device is just sitting there with the screen turned off doing nothing and the tethering thing is really annoying...

Hysterics, yeah, same issue here. Waited for ICS update before I decided to go custom. So I just updated last week and have noticed faster battery drain and my hotspot no longer works.
It blanks out and after 30 seconds it gives you a message "Unfortunately Settings Has Stopped"
How master resets have you done?
I haven't done it yet, but I've heard a multiple master reset may fix the problem.
It's just doing a reset is a pain in the arse!
Yes,
there is a return to stock option for you...it can be found here:

This method "will" return you to factory state. And you must read the entire thread, and follow the links to get a working device again.

For me what stinks besides the battery and hotspot everything else seems to work great.
Just hate to have to go through the master reset for one issue. As opposed if I had sevral issues.
But it is what it is I guess!

What "it is" is that OTA upgrades to ICS are problematic.
I'd prefer flashing ICS directly through Odin using a stock ROM from samfirmware.com

did you do a master reset?
I hate asking questions but i havent read up on this problem..
So every night for who knows how long now my text will all come in at once.
Calls arent coming thru but other person can hear the ring over and over and it doesnt ring on my end.
Calls and text will come in after i make a phone call.
my text are recieved but i dont recieve anything..
Its not Att because a lot more people would experience this..
All i can think of is swapping modems and see how it goes..
any other ideas anyome might have??
TIA
What ROM are you on? Last night I had an issue with cm10 905 nightly and got 3 texts after midnight all at same time, 1 from my mom so I know they were likely from the afternoon.
Might have to try another ROM if it continues to be an issue. This was on cm10 905 with uclf6 modem.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
There are two things that might be going on there. I have heard similar complaints associated with cm10 based roms, if that's the case reflash is probably the best option aside from trying different modems.
That is also a common carrier issue, i have worked for both rogers and bell, most carriers use the same crm, when a customer service rep adds or removes a feature (voicemail or a text package) or changes your overall price plan some times the system gets... backed up at the switch, not really sure how to properly explain that situation, but technical support is usually well aware of how to reset your account. Its a common problem which is not necessarily shared by everyone on the network.
Just something to think about.

It sounds like a network/carrier/weather problem, especially with others mentioning similar issues. If it doesn't clear up within a day, then its time to look at the phone.
Thank you all for the replies
I'm on CM10/LiquidSmooth ROM
CLF6 modem
Its happened on CM9 and stock ROMs as well
It happens more often after some one goes over the data limit or something else is charged to the bill....
It might be ATT after all.... just kinda bugged by it since it happens A LOT even with out any changes being made to the bill/data plan
I'll test out with different modems to see if problem persists if not then im done with ATT

I think the FL6 modem is pretty good. But its worth the time experimenting. After you flash, give it a little time to settle in.

I was hoping that someone could help me with a very annoying problem I'm having. I'm getting texts multiple times throughtout the next few hours. Whenever I get a text, I can read it/respond/etc and it's fine. The problem arises an hour or so later in that I keep getting the same texts over and over and over. Best example is a text from my wife this morning at 8:22, I've gotten 8 times and it's only 11:32 now. Please can someone help me. Thanks for those that try.

I am actually. I'm using Miui.us. Could it have anything to do with the Sprint network and the huge east coast storm?
No it has nothing to do with storms, just annoying is all.
I believe you have to clear data in settings, applications for messenger, (backup using SMS backup and restore first) or clear cache in recovery (backup as well, obviously)

Thanks for the replay Slayer. I'll keep that in mind but for now it seems to have stopped on its own. So I guess I'll make a note of what you said in case it does it again. Thanks again for everyones time.
My bet is its just Sprint being Sprint. My Photon had that issue BAD when it was stock for first week or two. COMPLETELY untouched. Still have it do it from time to time, no matter what ROM im on, cm7/9/10, CNA, AOKP. Usually happened/happens when was in low service areas. Just my 2 cents, if clearing cache and whatnot helps for you then good its worth a shot but none of that ever did anything for me.
That is most likely a network issue. I used to work at Sprint and we would see it sometime. That is also the reason is usually just stops.
