Having intermittent problems with my mobile internet and was wondering if it was the phone, other users or just plain crap signal.
Have anything between 2 to 5 bars here, hsdpa symbol on constantly but for some reason it occasionally gets stuck on the upload arrow and then the data connection freezes and wont come back on til I toggle mobile network or airplane mode.
Phone is running modaco 2.2c and latest radio on T-Mobile UK.
Hi. Been lurking around since I got my Hero, and thought it was about time I signed up to this excellent forum.
I was having exactly the same problem. Didn't know whether it was a problem with the Hero or the network/signal. I noticed that the APN settings on my Hero were different to the t-mobile site. I read around a bit and tried a few combinations of settings and eventually got it sussed.
Go to t-mobile.co.uk
Hover over "Help & Support" at the top and click "Phone Support". Click "Make the most of your mobile" and choose the G2.
Click on "Set up the phone for internet surfing" and enter the details shown there exactly in a new APN on your Hero.
The only change to those details is the password should be "pass".
This is the only APN setting i have tried that doesn't give me the original problem. Now I can browse without the 3g signal getting "stuck"
I'm using an unlocked Hero - completely stock btw.
Hope this helps. Let me know how you get on.
I've been having this very problem. That's good information, I'll give it a try.
Seems to work well. Here's the link.
thanks for pointing me there.
k i altered my settings, will test it thru day see if it improves.
Ooh, seems to be working so far. Seems I owe you a beer. Lol.
After a day or two using this 'fix' I find it the drop still happens sometimes but not as often.

Did you change the password to "pass" ? That is the most important bit.
Changed the password lets see what happens.

No. That's not the password given on the T-Mobile site.

There is a few different ones floating around here. The best one that worked for me would be the one that comes in Eguene's roms. If you go to his website you can d/l it as zip and flash it through CW.
On a side note everybody says that this app drains the battery faster and lags the phone, I don't see any difference in performance or battery life. This app is a must have for me as I do not get any service in my house at all. The only bug that I see is when the you are getting a call the sound comes out of the front speaker and its a little low.

C'mon dude you gotta put some work in a do a little search.

Hey guys. So a few weeks back I went from KG3 to KG6. Packet data was working fine on KG3(2.3.3) but when I would go to KG6(2.3.4) the packet data would not work. I did some searching on the internet and found a person that has the same problem, and luckily, also a solution. A little bit ago I had to factory reset my phone due to a boot loop error after flashing an update for a custom rom (Exynos Extreme 4.2). I am back on 3.5 base version, but my packet data will not work, and unfortunately I cannot find that thread that had the correct APN settings to allow my phone to work on KG6. If anybody knows anything about this or that thread I would greatly appreciate it. Oh, and I'm on AT&T HSPA+. Thanks.
Hi MColletti12!
Before you do anything it's always a good idea to back up your APN settings just in case something like this happens!
Hope you find the right APN settings.

Moving to Q&A
So, while tweaking settings using *#*#4636#*#*, I've apparently disabled the MoPho's recognition of the Sprint network entirely, and now the phone continues to reset itself to GSM/UMTS only in Network settings, even after reboot, and even after i change the settings manually to "any CDMA" or "Sprint" after the fact.
4G however, works.
(shrugs)
This is a first for me, and a headscratcher. Definitely don't want to go the hard reset route. Any suggestions of what I should be looking for?
**Update** - Have somehow managed to get it to stop forcing itself to GSM/UMTS, but will now only set itself on Automatic, and will not allow me to set "Any CDMA" or "Sprint only". Clicking these options won't stick, and just reverts to Automatic.
Preferred network type in Phone Info is "GSM/CDMA auto (PRL). I've turned the radio off/on several times, and it still shows as searching for service.
Sigh..
**Update #2** - Factory data reset didn't do the trick; phone still can't locate network. I'm sure this has got to be an easy fix. Anybody?
**Update #3** - Sprint couldn't figure it out either, chalked it up to a bug, and swapped out the phone for a 3D since they didn't have any MoPho's in stock. Would still be curious to know if anyone else ever encountered this issue..

Just out of curiosity, coyld you try putting in a sim chip and see if your phone recognizes it? Also, what is your baseband?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
That is indeed a bug of the stock firmware. Only way to fix it is to sbf back to stock. Hopefully you are not on the latest OTA (235) as I believe you can not sbf that version (downgrade).
Did the same thing myself by tooling around in the debug menus.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Encountered the same issue when I selected USA band. Did several things and nothing good happened. Finally flashed 235_radio_only.sbf from peetr_ and it worked. GSM 3G is working and 4G seems ok but unable to test it as I am not in US.

If your OS ver is 2.3.4 READ THIS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798210
for 2.3.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798145
PLEASE ask somebody twice before doing anything!
If you are on locked 2.3.5 254_13, you may try flashing this 2.3.5 radio only SBF.

otherwise do not flash the above. please refer Photon 4G development section for 2.3.4 radio
IF you are having an unlocked 2.3.4 boot loader, NEVER flash anything that says 2.3.5

So I foolishly tried to flash the gt-i9505 miui rom to tinker with it. I added the files that was in the OP on that thread and got it to boot up but didn't get any further than the setup screen. I had also flash Chronic Kernel alongside it because when I didn't add a kernel it wouldn't boot.
Decided I needed to start fresh and I odin'd back to stock recovery w/out root and now my phone is stuck in roaming mode. I cannot activate my phone at all...when it goes to setup wizard it asks me to press 1 to complete activation but I can't pull up the dialpad to press 1 to activate.
Did I screw up my radio on this? I have a replacement coming but I won't get it til Tues I was kinda hoping to fix this myself since Verizon tech couldn't fix it.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm stock vmdk right now.
Sounds like your apn got hosed. Check to see if it's correct fit your carrier.

That is what I was thinking but how do I go about changing the apn on a stock factory image? I looked in the mobile networks and didn't see anywhere to fix the setting

clicked mobile networks/access point names/say Lte-Verizon Internet with VZWINTERNET below it in small font. The button wasn't highlighted so I clicked the button and it acted like it was going to switch over to data but it went back to roaming...
hit menu button and Add new access point and reset to default it greyed out...can't tap any of those options

Download cyanogenmod. Install and Boot without the sim card in. Go to network settings and change from SIM to NV. Reboot with sim in. Your problem is solved.

I wish I would have thought of this sooner before I flashed the new baseband on it It's getting replaced Tues I just wanted to see if I could fix it myself and thought maybe updating the phone to the new build would have worked (it sure didn't) Thanks for the idea and I'll keep this in mind should it happen again (it better not though)
It will definitely happen if you switch between stock and aosp. If you choose one or the other stick with it. I know it's hard but it will save you a lot of headaches.

I didn't realize AOSP would do that as well...do very much appreciate your advice and help...thanks again
i'm unfortunately in the same boat here. I was trying to decide between an AOSP and TW rom, screwed up my network connection, and then somehow thought Odin with ME7 update would be a good idea. It sounds like this is just a network settings issue, is there anything that can be done with root and the terminal or some other setting/configuration change?
Please help, thanks in advance for any leads to fix this...
I'm sorry but without a custom rom I doubt you can get to CDMA subscription setting and switch it to the proper value. Look it up maybe someone has a solution that would work with stock.

I FIXED IT!
I can't tell you the exact steps (I was doing all sorts of clicking and restarting), but it has something to do with enabling hidden menus and making some changes in there. If anyone else runs into this issue, reply here and I will try to help where I can...
Too bad you are now stuck with just root and stock only.

Meh, after a good debloating workout it's not so bad. It's nice to not worry about a random FC, only downside is just preference for some of those visual mods and themes...who am i kidding, I can't wait until Safestrap is rolling.
So now i'm wondering what mods I can use with factory recovery...anything that isn't a full rom should still work...right? I'm a little worried of messing it up again, but I feel like some of the tweaks out there should be possible while running stock.

Yeah I thought the ME7 update would fix my issue with my phone but it didn't...sadly my replacement phone has wifi and bluetooth problems and all I done was root it (which has NEVER happened to me) Verizon sending me yet again another replacement. Glad to hear you got yours fixed though. Hopefully this thread will help the next person out who ends up with this issue
You can try to deploy 3minit framework but you would have to do it manually since you cannot flash it. If you manage that without breaking it than you should be good without the custom stock rom.

No promises but...
First, root
Then, enable hidden menus
Finally (I'm not sure yet, waiting on someone to get back me about if this was the fix or not) from the dialer type ##RTN# and at the menu tap Reset, then reboot, double check your network settings, and then come back here and verify that it was the rtn menu that fixed the issue so the next guy who comes along knows what to do...
It's kind of ironic how useless official support is, I spent hours on the phone and hours digging through xda to get my fix...support did nothing, xda helped with everything
