Hello everyone.
I would like to see if anyone may be experiencing the same issue and if anyone may have found a cure.
I am experiencing data drops on all roms. After a fresh install the rom works perfectly. Sometimes for a day sometimes for several days I will experience no problems. After a time I will no longer have any data connection at all, the 3G or H symbol is there but no activity. I have rebooted, reflashed modems, turned phone off in airplane modes, and toggled data. Sometimes this works but for the most part it is only temporary. I have experienced this problem on Trigger, Bionix, flagship, loki, and now stock jfd. I dont know what else to do. Is there a way I could have messed up the hardware of the phone? Any suggestions?
(I experience this in many different areas, as to rule out just poor reception, I will often have full signal with no data.)
Thanks,
I did have this on Axura and TW Roms.
I moved to Trigger and did a clean install, no issues at all with data drops since.
You can toggle airplane mode on/off.
You can toggle airplane mode on/off.[/QUOTE]
Trigger did last the longest before data dropped, about 3 days. I try toggling airplane on and off several times. When my data drops its off for hours I have even waited a whole day then I usually end op relashing back to stock and starting over. I stayed at JFD for 1 day and data dropped so im confused.
thanks for response!!
If it were me, this is unacceptable.
I would verify no issues with T-Mo (data cap/bill issue)
Assuming that is fine, I would make a copy of both internal/external to my pc, after a nandroid and Titanium backup was made.
I would then format both internal/external memory cards.
I would then power off and get use ODIN to JFD.... root.... cwr... flash your fav rom (maybe trigger final since you said you had the best luck with it).
I really doubt you would have trouble after doing this.
Ill give this a try tonight when i have access to odin. Thnaks for all your help.
Did you ever overclock the phone ? the heat potential of overclocking can have some bad effects on the circuitry. Either way I would get to Stock and do a warranty replacement on it.

I have overclocked the phone but never really thought about that as a potential problem. The problem is intermittent; it works fine after a flash but then drops off as i use the device. Would this cause the same issues??
Once again Data has dropped from Trigger 2.7 edt. I dont get it. There has to be some kind of hardware issue. Ive had full data from my last post 2 days ago.
I am not at data cap limit, and I have paid my bill. Data was just working 2 min ago, phone started to lag, rebooted now no data. I have flashed KA6 and KB1 modems twice each, rebooted in flight mode, toggled data 10 + times.
Anyone with any other suggestions before I turn this bad boi in??
thanks,

Is anyone else having major data drops? Mine is happening like 3x a day now! Very annoying. It has nothing to do with airplane mode. All of a sudden I will see my 3G signal leave, then there's a small x near my status bars then the x will go away but the 3G signal will not come back unless I reboot. When I reboot, my battery level drops all the way to where I need to connect my charger to keep it on.
This started happening about 5 days ago. Never an issue before that. Started happening after I flashed Trigger v1.5 rom. Went back to Bionix V and it's still happening. Wiped, Wiped, reflashed, wiped, wiped reflashed...still an issue.
Any help is appreciated!

Its probably the modem you are using. Ka7 & ka6 both did that with me....I went back to ka5 and haven't had that problem since. I always had to press the pwr button and toggle airplane mode on then off and that usually fixed it. Seemed to only happen when I loose signal and regain.
You will have more luck with this in Q and A. developers do not like seeing cries for help in the development section.

Yeah he's right I didn't flame you but someone will....figured I would offer a quick solution and get you outta here. Lol
its tmobile. had the same problem for about 1 month.
Sent from my Samsung Vibrant w/ Nero v5 + Voodoo
it might have been a problem inthe area you are in. call the isp
Devs you can move this if you wish. Sorry about that, but I am just really pissed right now. Someone else mentioned that it may be the sim card. It's happening like every hour now.
BTW, this just started happening about a week ago. NEVER had a problem with data connection prior.
Thanks for the tips

I happen to think its the weather.
BUT, who am i to judge? Yeah?
Try KB1. I never had problems when i went to KB1 when Scrizz uploaded it. And since we have all this weather snow ice and artic chill, it is holding steady for me. Or KA6 was good. It all depends where you live. Some say KA5, others this...
Experiment. Go to scrizz's thread and download all of the 2.2 Modem's he's got and flash. Remember, flashing the modem, let it SIT for about 10 to 20 mins (I do up to half hour since I don't mind the wait), then do a reboot afterwards. NEVER PLAY WITH THE PHONE WHEN YOU'VE FLASHED IT. LET IT SIT AND BUG OUT THE PROBS ON IT'S OWN!
I used to work for Tmo Tech Care and without doing troubleshooting id say try a SIM card swap n test the new one in your phone.
Especially if you don't have a new UICC Sim card. But even if you do I had similar problem and a new SIM resolved my issues.

the same thing...
happened on stock, and on nero v2.
usually, if i don't turn wifi on, it doesn't disappear...
Make sure you have the newest sim card available for your phone.

I thought I was the only one getting this problem but my 3G is VERY very unstable right now..

Well Tmo is shipping me out a new phone and battery. At least I will have a fresh device to root!
I'm currently using the KA5 modem and it seems to help, but it seems like after 3-5 min of browsing the web, the phone shuts off and when I turn back on my battery is at 1-3%, even being fully charged before it shut off. Strange things are going on here. I'm glad they are sending me a new phone.
I have a problem where the clock / time will lag behind by a few minutes over time on EB01-based ROMs? I know that there were a few people that posted about this in the custom ROM threads, but I couldn't find any potential solutions.
I have tried auto-syncing the time off of the Verizon network, as well as manually setting the time - same problem in both cases. If it is relevant, I'm using a Blackhole 4.2 ROM.
(1) Does anybody else have this problem? It might help to see how widespread this is.
(2) Does anybody know of a solution to this?
I've had time issues with all of the EB01 roms I've tried. I think it has something to do with not having the original kernal or something (if I was a dev, I could fix it myself, lol). Anyway, the best solution I've found is to install "clocksync" from the market. It's free and you can set it to update every 30 seconds or so.
Hmm I keep hearing about clock lag on Froyo but I haven't had it on any of my roms. I've used stock, deodexed, super clean 2.3, and now black hole 4.21. No clock lag on any of them, my kernal has been switched off and on between voodoo and normal so idk. It's on auto sync from the network too so I'm not sure what the problem is. Maybe try the EB01 Odin package?
I have been running different EB01 releases since it leaked, and I did not have this problem at all until yesterday. It doesn't seem to just slowly drift behind, but it does end up falling behind anywhere from 9-18 minutes from what I have seen so far. Then, it will just sync fine, as it is currently reporting the correct time.
I had the problem for a day and it seemed to go away when I reprogrammed my towers with the *228 function. If you haven't done that already, you should try that.
Never had this issue. Is this happening with the clock in the status bar or a widget? If its a widget it could be a task killer killing the widget and its not restarting. But if its the status bar clock I suggest you use eb01 clock remove.zip. ;-)
I'm with all the others never had batt issues, clock issues, or the infamous sleep of death.
Used my fascinating voodoo powers
I too am having problems. But I also have problems if I turn auto time sync off, so it leads me to believe it is some kernel issue? I've had this issue with Super Clean and Vanilla.
Is that *228 command 2 that you're suggesting?
This is certainly very annoying..

Excellent! I'll give this a whirl once wife is back with her phone! Thanks!!!
No issues as stated here. SC2.2.
good day.
Never had any of the EB01 issues till the clock lag. I just did the *228 since going to SC 2.6 so time (HeHe) will tell.
It's not enough to make me go off SC 2.x. It's only my 2nd day on SC 2.6 so I'm still watching the issue.
Have SC 2.7. I had the clock issue once, but it was fine after I restarted the phone and never had it again.
Only rooted/flashed once with Odin with EBO1 Debl/Deodex. Also using PhoneWeaver auto profiling.
I lose about a hour overnight when I let PW turn off the phone at 11:30 PM and back on at 6 AM. Last night, I tried turning OFF Automatic (use network provided values), and the phone lost 45 minutes in 2 hours. Turning Automatic back on manually didn't let the phone catch up until after a reboot.
My temporary solution is to let PW turn the phone back on an hour or 2 early so it will be sure to catch up before I need the alarm to go off, but it is a bit alarming to depend on it so looking forward to more complete Kernels/ROMs that I know are being diligently worked on as we speak.
Just Saturday, my data be it 3g or WiFi was fine, running smooth, I was gettin 10+ Mbps down and 1.15ish up on wifi/4-5Mbps down and .8-.9 up on 3g. I was on Bionix 1.3.1 and figured maybe it was just something I had done on accident, so I flash Trigger 2.8 (First Non-TW Rom) and I like it, but the problem is still there. I go back to JFD after formatting sdcard, system, and data thinking this would surely fix whatever was going on.
The problem is if I turn my data off and back on, it will be ok, long enough to open a page or do a speed test. After that, on 3g if im able to even tether to my pc, its barely over .3-.4Mb down and it literally says "upload speed- LOL" and when im on wifi, I get 10-11Mb down and 1ish up and on my phone its like its capped around 5Mb down.
I dont think theres any reason for me to be "capped" or cut off or whatever. I have unlimited everything, I just checked and my billing cycle is up in 3 days and Ive used 535Mb, which I probably use alot more, but Im always on WiFi for the most part. Also, 0 downloads, because I dont download stuff on my phone directly, for whatever reason...gives me something to do I guess, lol. I also had every 2/2 flashable modem there and tried them all, along with the KB1 and KB7 stock+voodoo kernels, and the tigers blood 2.2 and overstock 1.5.
Lastly, I seen the thread about changing DNS servers, and Ive changed to both and back to normal and tried with both WiFi/3g and its like theres a invisible anti-data pro-signal/herpes thing around my phone that, clearly from the name is anti data and gives any signal dataherpes, and if someone gave me herpes, I probably wouldnt come back. Hence, whats going on here.
Really though, any help would be appreciated, greatly.
Also, just realized the way I worded it might seem to some people like Im blaming it on the ROM, and Im definitely not blaming it on anyone or anything, because chances are, its probably something I did. lol
Another thing I should mention, is when it is connected to any data like 3g, it constantly flip flops between '3G' and 'H'
Try flashing the KB1 or KA6 modem see if that resolves. If it does not then it could be just a quirk from the flash and reflash. Also, the 3G to H doesn't matter it is just an icon switching that just says that it recognizes a tower that sending that signal, the modem on the phone will still only receive 3g
hey guys,
havent posted here in a long time, but i have been having some odd problems regarding my fascinate. I recently updated from superclean to the UKB 2.0, then installed the 2.1 patch immediately after. While on superclean i attempted to update my radio, odin'd to various different ones since the phone seemed to have sporadic service and the 1x/3g symbol had basically vanished. so i flashed UKB and noticed even worse radio service, and so i odin'd dl09 on to the phone which didnt seem to help at all and now im at ed04 through CWM. my phone works alright now, with better service but still a data connection that cant seem to hold. and now of all a sudden im constantly losing all bars and its saying i have no service in the same location i was receiving 2 bars.
so i was wondering if anyone has had this problem or can point out something that i did horribly wrong, since it seems the state of the phone's radio has just been decreasing since i started fiddling with it. any thoughts would be much appreciated!
thanks
oh and just noticed that gps is no longer functioning...lol
solved. seems that part of the problem was juice defender which was supposed to only disable data connection when the screen was off, but apparently was toggling full airplane mode almost randomly, even while awake and when trying to send a text.
other thing i did was flash back to stock rom with dl09 to wipe everything, rerooted and updated to UKB, and have done nothing with the radio. ive noticed radio still is functioning subpar to when i was in stock so im confused there but i got functionality back.
gps works now too although i added GPSaids, first few seconds is completely wrong but as it picks up more sats it homes in frighteningly fast to my precise location.
edit: data connection still seems to be dropping only when i start attempting to access data, but that seems to be a new problem
I'm having the same problem, fresh install of ukb 2.0 restart then 2.1.
I have the EC01 Modem,
Signal is all over the place constantly. 3g, 1x, phone only, mostly is 2 bars then 0, back and forth
Wifi is a little weird, so is bluetooth...
I think I'm just going to wait for JT's full CM7...
Hi guys,
Not sure what could be the issue. I'm quite a veteran when it comes to troubleshooting these phones and flashing, etc. I've been a power user since the S1 and S2.
I flashed CM9 a few weeks ago, one of the stables and it was all running fine. One day I picked up the phone after charging overnight and it was really hot, the battery drained in about an hour or so, the whole time it was extremely hot.
I flashed a few other CM roms, which didn't fix much, tried full wipes and everything.
I've now gone back to an original samsung rom which I flashed via odin. This seems to have fixed the overheating issue, however, my battery barely lasts more than 3 hours on full charge and this is with absolutely minimal use (few phone calls).
WiFI is also extremely unstable. It takes a while to connect to any network, and when it does, it'll drop after a few minutes. I've tried different networks.
Scanning for WIFI networks works fine, so does this rule out a faulty WIFI chip?
I'm thinking the battery drain may be related to the WIFI card.
I've also tried a new battery.
Any suggestions, or is the phone fried?
A number of posts saying the same .

No, to get up your hopes, the phone isn't dead, yet.
Try flahsing a ROM, other than CM. I have the same problem, with AOSP, that's why I stick to sammy based ROMs, AOSP is made for the device, but Google only tunes it up to their standards, when it has something to do with their Nexus devices.
I'd say: Try a different ROM, don't overclock it. If that doesn't work, flash stock and then try it. One of the two should work, though!
I've gone back to a stock Samsung 4.0.1 rom. Flahed using odin, yet still the same issue with battery life and WIFI.
I've heard somewhere that flashing CM9 can cause WIFI issues, and there's a specific flash procedure to get it working normal again?

There is no 4.0.1 for the S3. I'm just sayin'.
