[Q] 3G connection issues after OCLF - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't know if this problem is real or if I am just being paranoid and imagining something but basically it goes something like this:
I recently rooted and lagfixed my vibrant with OCLF 2+. I am new to rooting and all this so I tried not to do too much, no new ROMs or anything. All I have done so far is download a few root specific programs and applied a theme with metamorph but took it off.
So now when I am browsing on 3G, it loads very very slowly. But if I do speedtest it works really well, high speeds. I also downloaded Dolphin HD to see if it was just the stock browser. Dolphin HD loaded the sites just fine. But market is also having issues, saying no network connection.
Am I just imagining slow connection and being impatient? Or could there be a problem?

Whatever the actual problem may be, I suggest you forget the OCLF lag fix, and just get the Bionix rom. I have heard of far too many problems with the OCLF lag fix, and the Bionix rom does far more than that lag fix can ever do.
But, did you try undoing the lag fix and seeing if that affected your speeds?

[Q] Data Drop on 2.2

I think the issue is called "data drop"? Anyways, although I am currently running Axura 2.0.3, it doesn't seem to matter, all 2.2's seem to do it. There will come a point in the day when I try to open something web-based, the 3G activity on the notification bar just does nothing. I suppose rebooting solves it for a while, but going to settings>wireless & network>mobile networks>network operators>search now and then re-choosing T Mobile somehow resets it as well.
-Can somebody explain what the bigger issue is here (why it does this on 2.2)? -Is there some type of a "fix" out there, or one contemplated?
-If there isn't, is there a better way to re-set the data than either of the 2 things above? If re-registering solves it, how does it get un-registered in the first place?
-On 2.1 ROMS (and even stock) I was routinely getting data speeds of between 4-5M. On 2.2 it's hardly ever more than 3. Is this something inherent in 2.2? Seems like we went backwards a bit???
Hmm, I haven't seen it yet. I did experience Airplane mode once on one of the earlier Onyx releases, and the only thing that solved it was to reboot the device.
I have experienced a strange issue with the browsers though, I will get a notification that internet connection is required, but the page loads, I even tried to download and install an alternative browser, and got the same annoying pop-up, mind you I was on 3G, and also used the market to download the app to install it at the same time in the same location.

That also happened to me yesterday. The pages in the browser does load but it's annoying that a pop up message will always appear when using the browser. I'm using Froyo now for almost a week and it happened the first time yesterday. Then i reboot then it's fixed.
I am getting a lot of disconnects too. But it also happens when I am on wifi, sometimes wifi refuses to start and errors out. Onyx 3.1.
Just happened trying to post this - wifi.

Did your area recently have 4G go live? I've had data problems on both mine using froyo and my girlfriends running stock ji6. So I don't feel the froyo roms are the cause. Last night neither of us could get data to work for more than a few minutes at a time.

I too have noticed this on all the 2.2 roms. What I see is the up/green arrow on the 3G icon light up but not the down/orange arrow. I'll try loading stuff up on the web/market and nothing but all the while that green arrow is lighting up. I'm guessing green = upload and orange = download? Idk, but its annoying as hell.

I just came back to the office and was able to use it without the annoying pop-up.
It is strange, the page loads in the background while the pop-up comes up.
Ahhh, the Froyo gooodies LOL

Not yet. Philly always gets hit up last. I did some more searching and found this in the early part of the Axura thread:
"The Lib & Bin fixes are for the battery.
I haven't had any problem.
It seems to be a hit & miss type of thing.
He told me That is was probably the same issue that was causing his network location to not work, and that he fixed in with the lib and bins. Just waiting on a release. Everything else seems great in this rom. Runs much smoother that the JPM build."
I have no idea what this means or if it's relevant, but there's something ain't right...
Running Axura. Since 2.2 does not see the hsdpa, I loaded the ji6 modem and all is working great. No data issues at all.

No update on this thread. Anyone got a fix?
I am experiencing the same problem with all the 2.2 ROMs, currently on bionix-v 1.2.1 with KB1 modem.
When it is in the "data drop" condition, sometimes voice calls would not connect and SMS fails to send. But signal status still showing full bars (I live next to the tower).
I'm on an UMTS/HSPA network, so it does look to be a ROM rather than a radio problem. I've tried almost all the available modems - same problem. Yes, I use my phone heavily so there is always one or two apps trying to access the network - and they would be all be stuck (or errors) at the same time.
If I'm tethered, either via 2.2 AP Mode or USB tether, the session is stuck until reset/reboot.
However, the free "WiFi Tether for rooted users" app from the market gets around this condition all the time... somehow :

[Q] Extremely Slow Speeds on Neutrino ROM V2.2

Hello all,
I've attempted searching to no avail. Has anyone else had extremely poor data speeds using the latest version of Neutrino ROM V2.2? I'm getting unusable speeds (100kb down for example.) The radio I'm using is 30P. Reflashing unfortunately did not resolve anything. Back to Alien 4, again :\
Thanks!
Do u have problems with wifi? i believe i may have a similar problem. However, my problem was that, apps like facebook and youtube takes forever to load on 3G/HSPA. browser has no such problems.
If i used wifi, the apps work perfectly. So it may be permission settings/data settings or even a bad flash. I googled for a solution but to no avail.

Speedtest apps not working on ICS ROMs?

I am on AT&T in the US - and ever since I switched to an ICS ROM (either CM9 or Samsung's official) I am unable to get my network speeds via any speedtest app. I have tried Speedtest.net, Xtremelabs Speedtest, and the FCC Test app.
I will get decent ping speeds, and then the download test hangs and i never get more than 60kbps as a result, but my upload speeds are always very high, higher than they normally are.
Anyone else experiencing the same problem?
I had a similar problem with ICS ROMs. Speeds were very, very low (compared to GB ROMs with KL1 and KI4 modems). The phone was very sluggish when using the browser, Play Store, and several news apps. But like you said, upload speeds would pop real high, to something like 4 Mbps, then drop to near zero. The "Restart Test" button wouldn't come up for about two minutes. I tried about 20 different APN configs to no avail.
Now that I am back on GB, the phone screams. I haven't yet figured out if it is a custom ROM or an ICS modem issue.

Well the phone seems fine in regards to speeds. It's when I run the speedtest that it records a ridiculous speed. I think it must be something with ICS ROMs and how the speedtest app runs tests

jerdog, when testing XWLPU, I had this same issue. Running a test within the Speedtest.net app the download test hangs, and reports a ridiculously low speed when it's finished, but ping and upload seem normal.
Speeds otherwise seem fine browsing and downloading stuff, and if I run a speed test on a web page (like from Speedtest.net the actual web page via the Flash plug-in, instead of the app), the download speeds are likewise fine. It seems it is only broken in the app.
Did you ever figure out what the deal was?
PS- apologies for the super bump.

It would seem that you need to remove the proxy settings and then things were fine IIRC.

Thx for the info. I'll try it again next version of ICS I test.
Edit: sorry... Proxy settings from where? The APN?
Edit 2: it was indeed the proxy settings in the APN. once I removed the proxy, the speed test work just fine. Thx jerdog.

[Q] Slim Rom Wifi Tether???

I was on a rom right after rooting that wifi tethered perfectly with no problems. Switched to Clean rom and did the wifi fix in settings that they said and my computer still never saw my phone when i started tether. Switched to the newest Slim Rom and still wont work. I also tried using barnical tether and a few other in the Google play store.. Any Suggestions? I would have posted in the slimrom section but i dont have enough posts...
does the app say "Started but with errors"?
In settings, dont use Auto for device profile because it'll start with Ad-Hoc.
if you're on an ICS Rom, then select Generic ICS.
yeah i switched to nils business rom... theres an option for htc rezound on that wifi tether. the reason i switched from it, and cleanrom is because texting is laggy if you type fast. Was sortof fixed on the slimrom... are yall experiencing typing lag on these ics roms? didnt do it on GB roms... Im on new firmware and it does it with stock and non stock keyboards.
To elaborate, it isnt lag on anything EXCEPT when typing on a keyboard. It falls behind on keeping up with my fingers...

The keyboard is slow on CleanROM for me as well.
Since I'm back on nils business it's still sluggish. But if I install setCPU and force both cores on it makes it a little faster. I'm sure it drains the battery more though.

Slow mobile data with 4.2.2

If anyone can help I would appreciate it sooooo much. Ever since I went to 4.2.2 my mobile data speeds have gone to **** when I'm using the browser. I get a 10-15 second delay in loading a web page. When I use my WiFi it seems to be fine. I have no idea how to troubleshoot this. It's not Rom specific. I've attached screen shots of a speed test which is perfect and a shot of the browser trying to load a page.
This makes no sense to me someone please help

NFigured it out, I restored flash player with titanium backup and that was the issue. I uninstalled and re installed and I'm good now hope this helps someone.
Edit...this seemed to help for a bit then went back to being slow.

I have this exact problem. I am on 4.3.1 and everything works fine on wifi, but browsing via stock and chrome browsers always stalls. Installing flash player from TB didn't fix it. Anyone else have any thoughts?

I've had this issue for about two months. ROM doesn't seem to matter as I've tried stock, super stock, the old Viper, NOS GPE, and Viper Sense 5 along with most of the kernels out there. I've RUU-ed probably 8 times with no luck.
The "Adobe Flash" fix didn't work for me, but I do use Titanium Backup. Maybe the problem is there somewhere?

The adobe flash fix didn't work for me, either. I found a fix in another sub-forum for a different phone. It recommended installing adfree and then selecting the "revert" option in the app. That fixed the problem for me completely. Hope that helps anyone else with this problem.

Welp, I downloaded it, but the app seems stuck. After running it, I get the boot normally / TCP dialogue, but nothing happens after that. Just stuck on the loading screen with the spinning circle.
I just reinstalled it and tried it again. I am now getting the same error as you. Might be a server-side problem. Might want to try again tomorrow?

Could you post a link to the thread you were talking about where this solution came up? I'd like to read through it. Thanks!
I am also having this problem, ViperDNA, 4.1.1. WiFi is fine, but mobile data is unusable. If I toggle mobile data off then back on, it works ok for a bit, then goes back to ****. Just recently started happening. I also have a similar issue with my G2.
I couldn't find it again, it was really hard to find the first time. But I just tried it again and the app is working. Just install it, tell it to boot normally, give it root permission, tell it to skip after it does its host file check, then press the revert button. When that is done, uninstall adfree and reboot.
That should do it.

Got it working, but it didn't seem to fix the problem. I'm still having the exact same issue. Getting frustrated with this since RUU is supposed to be the miracle fixer, yet that and a bunch of other attempts with solutions like the ones in this thread have done nothing. Outside of this thread, I can't find anyone else talking about this problem.

I'm on the most current Verizon radio with Verizon service. Most current OTA hboot. Moonshine s-off. Recently RUU-ed.
I use Dolphin and Opera Mini. Strangely, Opera Mini doesn't have this issue, but Dolphin does. However, browsers aren't the only problem. I have the same thing happen with nearly every data-using app. Twitter, Instagram, A Online Radio, TuneIn Radio, as well as Dolphin for sure seem to have this issue. Opera is okay, and Google Play Store and Facebook seem to be mostly unaffected.
It's unexplainable. Everything works instantly and fine on WiFi, but 4G, 3G, and 1X all have this 10-20 second delay before they start actually connecting. After this lag, they all download quite well. It's just the initial connection that has a problem. And again, I've searched everywhere and haven't read anyone experiencing this.

Hmmm, not sure what's going on. Maybe you need a new SIM card? Maybe try re seating the SIM? You can also turn off the radio in the hidden phone settings menu and then turn it back on. From the dialer type: *#*#4636#*#*

I've tried removing and reinserting SIM card before, and I've reset the radio and tried airplane mode probably a hundred times. Not sure what the dialer number is supposed to do, but it seems to do nothing.
Guys answer this what does flash player half to do with slow internet?
Also you internet speed looks fine.
I edited the op because I'm still having issues like the rest and it said solved but it's not. I just installed ad app I'll see if it helps.

You don't need to keep adfree installed, just use it to reset the host file or something. Maybe someone who knows the actual mechanism will chime in and explain why it helps.
