Data/WiFi speed issues, Im at a loss. - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

[Q] Data Drop

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,

[Q] radio constantly losing signal

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...

[Q] Radio Problems?

So I got my Thunderbolt a while ago and finally decided to root it. I first flashed the CM7 ROM and really liked it except for the fact that I couldn't get the GPS to work. I would really like that feature so I decided to try a different ROM. I flashed the BAMF 3.0 stripped ROM and really liked it, but I couldn't get the data to work. I tried installing the MR2 and MR2.5 radios and nothing seemed to fix it. Ended up installing Liquid Gingersense and still no data. Am I doing something wrong on whole or does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
Did you happen to take out the battery during the process of switching things around? The battery cover not being completely snapped in with cause the problem with data. I also hear ppl say that if they go into the LTE settings and switching the network type to something else like LTE mode and then back to CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto fixes the problem.
I guess I did end up pulling the battery a couple times through the whole process but I think I've got the cover back on all the way. Why would this cause a problem? Is part of an antenna or something on the cover?
Also I have tried multiple times switching to all the different options between CDMA auto, CDMA only, EvDo only, CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto and LTE mode and I never get anything better than cell service. Never any data.
Yea the battery cover completes a connection for the antenna used for data. Its the weirdest thing but its a common cause for data loss with people.
Hmmm, crazy, I do see it now. You know that may have been part of my problem last night. There was a point that I had the battery cover off for a while I guess. But wouldn't it be fixed as soon as I put the cover back on? I'm still not getting anything now?
Doing a restart after replacing the cover might speed up the phone finding a data signal again but if that doesnt work it might not be the issue. I looked at the Gingersense's page and notice that the radio he recommends is the official 2.0 radio which is the newest one we have. I dont know that not having that would cause a problem but you could give flashing that a shot to see if it gets you data.

signal/data issues...

Hi there
long time reader first time poster here...
searched and found nothing...
running the latest gingerbread AT&T official on a AT&T atrix (currently unlocked and running on the Rogers network in canada)
i seem to be having an issue with my Atrix lately(or at least been noticing).... normally when i am connected to the data networks fine, my signal meter and H+ are is blue...
what has been happening is if i leave the phone alone for some time (usually 20+), it just disconnects from the data services... all my signal meter and H+ meter turns grey... when i "wake" the device it takes a couple seconds to kick back to blue... when this is going on i go into my gtalk and i see it had signed me out and that its trying to sign me back in.... same thing with alot of other apps, like my issimo app, its been sign out, or hasnt received any new updates since it turned "grey".
how do i stop this? is this a bug? something wrong with the OS? will i have to reflash?
any thoughts on this would be appreciated!
thanks!
UPDATE:
had battery save mode on nighttime, so i thought that was the issue... so i changed it to performance and doing that had no effect at all... still losing data after a while of it being locked...
any ideas? could this maybe be some residual affects from a battery saver app i add?
i really would not like to reload the OS...
anyone got any ideas?
i'm finding any solution for the same problem, some atrix lose data signal, motorola says that is a software problem but i dont find a fix for that yet, any idea?
It's a software issue on Motorola's end. I'm having the same problem. I haven't flashed a custom ROM yet, but my friend had the same problem and he said when he flashed Gingerblur it was fixed.
when i seemed to notice it was when i had upgraded to gingerbread... so what i simply did was deleted my APN, rebooted and entered in the APN again, and that seemed to have solved it
@OP I don't use GTalk so I can't comment on that, but the signal than that you described is EXACTLY what my SGS does running on stock Froyo rooted.
I don't know if its more battery saving or what, but I tend to miss more calls in weaker signal areas when my phone has been on idle for a while.
I too am looking for a fix because of that. Also my Atrix sometimes acts the same way on Froyo, but I haven't used my Atrix in a while...

kinda still having the issues but i have been dealing with it and trying out different ROMs to see if those are any help at all... so far its intermittent
Same kinda style here ..
When i am on my mobile data it's fine , but as soon as i connect to a wi-fi it become grey and no more data (mobile/wireless) is working ...
Tried many ROMS , Radios , all the same...
That new leaked radio they got doesn't work here in Bakersfield the 1.77.36p
Shoot I was lucky to get 00.04 mbps download and 00.01 upload
When I reflashed the previous radio I got 05.00down 2 up mbps much better one
1.7730p but It may make the phone run warmer

Yes I found this to be true as well. The new radio (1.77.36) dropped signal for me often and the speeds were lower than with 1.77.30

why not upgrade your radios to the latest AT&T has to offer? 1.97.00 see if that helps?
im having the same issue
anyone knows why this is happening? i have cyanogemod 7, i reflashed the phone, and when it started i restored but the problem just keep going
I have a very similar problem. When the H+ is lit up blue I have a network connection. But it will switch to grey then internet ect stops working ..still have signal (4 bars) any ideas why it keeps switching?
I've had the same issue ever since I first got my atrix. I've tried many different roms and it does it with every one. Ill have great signal n my browser will direct my to a no data connection page. I have to reboot or turn airplane mode off n on to get it going again. I have like a month left on my warranty gonna try n swap it out n see if a different one will fix the problem

Really weak signal and no data

Alright so I put the simply stock rom on yesterday and for the first time, a GBbootloader, and the bullet kernel. Didn't really like out much so i odined back to stock. But when I did I was getting the I9000/t959 boot screens alternating. I found a new pda that fixed it (but now whenever I use the usual pda the problem comes back.)
But anyway, now my signal is really weak (0-1 asu) all the time in my house where I usually got full bars, and now struggling between one and none and I have no data connection at all. But I can receive and send texts and calls. There is nothing set up in the vpn and apn sections of the settings so I guessing that's the problem with data, but usually when I flash stock that would be filled in.

If there is nothing in your Access Point Name list then you will need to fill that in. You should be able to find the settings with a quick google search.
Sometimes this gets lost during flashing. I have probably flashed a hundred roms and its only happened to me once.
Thanks
Do will this only fix my data problem or the weak signal to? Btw I did accident flash back to stock while I had my sim in there, but it still worked when I was through so I really didn't think much of it.

If you continue to get a weak signal then you should try a different modem. I personally get the best performance with the KB5 modem, but different factors determine what modem will work best for you.

May take some trial and error to find you best modem.
