Can't quite post in the DEV section, I'm wondering if anybody is experiencing issues with this ROM and Cricket?
Everything works great, then I make a call and I lose 3g, the market tells me no network connection, so it's not an APN issue. I disable and enable the mobile internet and it's back until the next phone call. I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else yet.
Some things to try;
Wipe dalvik
Run fix_permissions
Update prl
Set mobile data to national roaming.

Just did all that, still having the issue.
Tried tethering with Gingerbread, after 40mb I lost 3g again
Seems to be happening after extensive data usage as well. Also let Maps run for a while, I checked on the phone and it lost data connection as well. Going to try logcat, see what happens.
I used to have the same issue in 2.1 stock, I had to get a replacement through VZ as a warranty issue.

It never really had this issue though. As a final resort I'm going to wipe it completely (including SD card) and try again with the ROM. I really like Gingerbread features but can't live with this issue.

How did you warranty exchange based on tethering not working when the only official way of tethering with Verizon is by paying for the ability with an officially sanctioned tethering device?
I was referring to losing 3g and mobile coverage, I wasn't tethering, but his issue sounded similar. It actually happened most to me after a phone call or text message.

I have a rooted vibrant running stock Tom with the j16 update and my 3g works intermittently at best. Is there any fix I can do myself?? Its understandable if I were in a cave but I'm getting full bars and my signal strength is -89 dbm 12 Asus. Please please anyone. I'm almost to the point where I'm about to call T-Mobile and see if they can switch me out a different phone. I hate the idea of paying for the web and nit being able to use it. BTW, if I pull my battery off and restart the data connection will work for about 10 mibs

I'm interested to see the answer/suggestions as well, I've been having the same issue.
It will work then not, a restart or going into flight mode and back will get it working for awhile. It does it over Wi-Fi too..(Sound familiar?)........... It's done it stock, rooted with OCLF, with ji6 and now even with Bionix 1.9
Yeah I mean my wifi works all the time but now even when I do the airplane mode it doesn't bring back my 3g data connection. Its driving me bat **** tho. How about u?

How good it the 3G coverage in your area?
Try a market app called Map Viewer. At home I'm out of 3G coverage.
OK I will try to download it and let you know

Do a factory data reset.

well I found out from the map that my 3g coverage system work is supposedly non existence. Go figure. So I'm basically getting snippets of it. If I do a factory reset I will lose all my info right? And when you say reset do u mean using Odin and flashing stock 2.1?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Do it from the phone settings, privacy. Yes, u will loose all yr apps, but save them using appsaver from android market first. Your new rom update will still be there. Hope this helps. Thats what I did to correct my 3g issue, just like what you described.

just throwing this idea out there. tmobile could be doing tower work in your area. i experienced this for awhile where data was just iffy and wasnt very reliable. this may happen on and off for a few days.
So a friend of mine just got a hold of a droid eris because her droid busted and it is having issues with constantly being in roaming on sprints network.
Is this a common issue, is there any fix for it? verizon rep had no idea and couldn't help.
Did you have her try *228?
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
yea that was the first thing i told her to try, it didn't work. From what she said it sounds like it didn't even go through as a working working.
I don't know what else to try... factory reset?
If you haven't rooted that phone for them you need to, and load the Xtsense ROM. It makes that phone rock pretty good.
I loaded it on for my wife (she wanted to keep the Sense options and look). It has yet to lag doing anything.
Good luck

After many hours of trying to get this working, I think I've finally succeeded.
Please test that both Wifi Calls and Normal Calls are working properly and that Wifi Calling doesn't force close.
Flash this with CWM. This was tested on BiWinning 3.0
So close to having this for gingerbread, I can almost hear my phone ring in my living room

I agree. I just think with the leap in gingerbread and themes for 2.2 this is lost. But i cannot wait for wifi calling in gingerbread. Great step forward.

Same here, there's just not much demand now for 2.2.1 mods. With gingerbread having mostly working GPS, it is a "might as well" upgrade.

Awesome...
This is great. My wife's phone is running on a 2.2 ROM because there was no 2.2.1 version of wifi calling. I'll upgrade her tonight and see how it works.
Running biwinning and wifi calling so nice thanks

i guess its cuz after finding out that wifi calling still uses your minutes (asfter talking to a tmobile tech suppot), then thats why... i think most people think wifi calling is free... it is actually beneficial for especially for those people who have weak network signal on their place..

Saved tons of money if you go abroad to call home.
Awesome sauce! I banged my head against this one until I just couldn't do it anymore, then completely lost hope when I was providing logs to the Nexus S guys trying to port Wifi calling, and saw the constant failure they were running into. Man, this is good stuff!

I read an forum somewhere where people were calling tmobile and having added to their plan and so long as you have it added "officially" then minutes weren't debited from their plan. people with grandfathered plans won't be able to do this without losing their grandfathered plans. People were having better success adding this feature online with a live chat from tmobile, as some representatives had no idea what people were talking about while others added it with no problems. I guess it matters which rep your get. But there were many people conforming that once the feature was added they confirmed no minutes being debited in "my accounts" etc.

The way Wifi Caling works is that it uses the internet to send and receive both calls and txt(not MMS). So in theory this should work the same no matter where you are in the world. Now there have been reports of it working successfully and other reports where it was not. So for you I would simply goto a free wifi cafe and turn on Wifi, attach to that free wifi and then turn on wifi calling. If it connects then send a txt to verify it is connected. If it goes through then you will have txt and calling as if you were standing in the US. in theory that is.
Thanks... Ill try it on jpj hopefully it doesn't charge us allot

I've heard that wiring tether works, but not sure his to get it as they pulled it from the app market. Also barnacle should work, and that's on the market.

Depending on your patience, the native hotpot app works fine by turning it on, allowing your wireless device to connect to it, then toggling the radio on / off a few times from the phone settings menu accessed thru the dialer (*#*#4636#*#*). Pins the "paid" data pipeline to your normal 3g stream.

There was a thread about this is the fascinate forums...
Basically, the only way to prevent verizon to figure out that you are teathering is by using a kernel that blocks it.

Even then, if they want to really look there's a way they van tell on their end through packet timing or signatures or something.

If they're doing packet inspection, you know how SLOW that would make their network, and how much resources that would take up? Wouldn't be worth it to them. They are most definitely not doing packet inspection. They could possibly suspect something if you have high data usage. But then again, I have high data usage all the time, cause of my job, I run a business, I'm constantly downloading things, sending and receiving text messages through GV and emails, plus I have Google Plus backup all my pics and videos to a private album online. I use able 10-15 GB a month.

I wasn't able to get that wireless tether app to work... or the barnacle thing. It says it's on and everything but I can't see a network being broadcasted, nothing shows up on my website that resembles a phone or open network.

Have you tried the radio toggle? This works for me with the native hotspot app. The packet info issue was something that a vzw tech on the fascinate forums said they COULD do to verify tethering if it was suspected. I was just trying to add that they do have ways to detect it based on what was shared by him. Whether it's practical for them isn't the issue, the point being that no tethering method is completely invisible.

my tethering seems very unreliable. im using the latest wifi tether apk but thats irelevant as i have used many versions but the problems persist. allow me to explain, im in no way new to android nor tethering. i have followed all the steps to get 4g tethering speeds ( toggle data off, disable 4g re enable and so on) the thing is i cant get a stable connection from my laptop or my xoom for more than 20 mins. the connection either goes idle or the phone just restarts or i simply get disconnected from it. im just wondering whether it' s just me or whether this a common problem among photon users. many thanks and great forum.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
I believe the 4G on your phone becomes idle. Just a guess.
I have heard this happens to other Photon users as well. Not sure what the cause of it is or the fix. I'm going to try some things out when I get time and see what mine does. I've never tried to tether for that long of time before. Will post back if I find out anything new.
**I can only test 3G. No 4G in my area.
Are you rooted or using a rom?
