Is anyone else's totally sucking?? It always says either H, or 3G, but no data goes through. The "upload" arrow will light up, but not the "download" one... I also think it's killing my battery since it's constantly searching for a signal for checking e-mail and stuff? Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem or it's my phone? I'm outside of Chicago....
Same here. Someone I work with has the sgs4g and suffers the same problem.

Same problem down here in dallas tx i only really started noticing this with kb5 modem, i recently switched back to the KA6 modem. The problem is persistent but no where near as bad as it was on KB5
Having same issue here... went to Tmobile and they told me this is not a common problem. But the forums are littered with people having the same problem... found 1 rom that kinda manages it well. Axora

hmmm weird. I didn't really have a problem until a few days ago, but I'm glad to know it's not just me
I think I figured out when the data drops. The phone will lag to the point of inoperability, then the phone for some reason has trouble reconnecting to the tower. the only thing I have found to fix this is a factory data reset. I have been lucky enough to reboot in airplane mode sometimes which helped once or twice. Or to reload a rom. I just dont know how to fix it? I had my phone warranty replaced due to this issue and it still remains on new phone. I am somwhat pissed myself

Happens to me randomly specially when searching in Map app. Phone starts lagging and I have to reboot. After reboot it shows No entry like sign in status bar. Nothing works, I tried rebooting, reinstalling same rom, new rom, new modem. What works is take out battery and reinsert it. Thought I got a bad phone, but now it seems others have this issue too?
Im just south of chicago and I usually have to download my apps 2 or 3 times to actually get them installed. I noticed that after you choose to download and it spits you back out in to the menu. Reclick the app you just installed if there isno statusbar you are not trully downloading it.

I've been having problems with keeping gchat logged in. Constantly drops out and says either I'm not online or the other person is not online. My wife has the same problem with her vibrant.
In addition my GPS has been extra sucky lately, went from being able to lock 8 inside to usually not locking at all. Nothing I've tried has fixed it, but then randomly it'll work just fine. I can't reliably reproduce the problem.

This is the second vibrant that I have had this problem on, So I want to say software, unless I got 2 phones with the same problem. The EDT gps fix makes my gps lovely when I have a data connection. I know that heathen has also made a flashable data fix which would at least stop from having to do a data reset, and reinstalling all apps. Unfortunately the data fix is rom specific and not a universal deal. Anybody with more experience know why many vibrants have this intermittent problem???
Since I unrooted I have had no data drops, but cannot fully unlock the potential of the device, has anyone heard if a way to maintain stable data thru root?
Thanks

I've got a Vibrant (Galaxy S) I recently bought off craigslist. It seemed to work pretty well when I first got it and gave it a factory reset. After about a week i noticed that people kept texting me to "pick up your phone" but the problem was it never rang, never even showed a missed call. If I restarted the phone, made a phone call, then everything would work fine for a few hours, then no more calls would come in. I've tested this in soooo many ways only to find that the trigger appears to be the data connection. I did try disabling data and every call went through just fine until data was restarted.
I've hypothesized that when my phone connects to data it is blocking the normal cell phone service, and never giving the phone priority back until I make an outgoing phone call.
I've tried redoing the factory reset, upgrading to Froyo with keis, Rooting & flashing Nero ROM (which is fantastic BTW), adding phone prioritizer script, running taskkiller, messing with various settings and I am getting nowhere.
I am somewhat new to how the samsung works hardwarewise (I'm coming from an HTC Dream G1) and really need some suggestions. I've been drawing blanks after Googling for days!! Please help!!

I will try flashing a modem and post results in a bit, but so far I've been unable to understand what a modem is. Is that like a Radio or SPL? (again I am more familiar with G1 lingo)
Alright, flashed kb1 modem. Working so far, I can receive calls and interrupt data session (market download, map, facebook, etc) I'll update if problem persists.

Update: Still using KB1 modem (battery slightly worse) and BionixV
Went for a trip away from the house this weekend and calls went through flawlessly, so I'm thinking this could be a coverage issue.
However, whenever I turn data off at home, phone calls always work and I always have at least 2 bars. So probably some sort of a hardware issue? I still feel like it get's hung up on data hardware and isn't switching to cell phone mode.
Still looking for more ideas or contacts. Should I pursue contacting Samsung? Am I outta luck with this being a craigslist find?
Had a buddy with access to small tools and some chip diagnostic equipment root around inside the phone. He said he found "3 circuits are shot all pins" Personally I don't know how a phone continues to work after that? Anyway, looks like I got burned on this craigslist find.
So if you have this problem, get a new phone... I'm just gonna pretend it is a mini tablet for now.

So after rebooting about a week ago on BAMF Remix 1.7 (I think the ROM is irrelevant but just putting it in for information's sake), my 3g/mobile data stopped working. When I go into network settings, the Mobile network option is checked to connect to the internet and under APNs, there is a vzwinternet profile with a green (I'm guessing turned on?) marker.
I've tried various ROMS: BAMF, BAMF Remix, CM7, and even the Gingerbread variations of BAMF as well.
Also I've experimented with all of the radios (every one listed under the obligatory radio thread) and different kernels.
And lastly, I've wiped multiple times every time I've flashed a new ROM and have even formatted my SD card hoping it was some rogue application that disabled it.
So what can I do to bring back 3g/mobile data?
Note: Wifi, calls, and sms will works for me. MMS does not however.
I have the same problem but mine shows after rebooting, than say error when I try browser or anything that has to do with data, But works at times.
*WALK in the WORD*
Mine isn't working at all. Not even after rebooting.

I almost did exactly the same!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
This happened to me, exactly as you've stated. I posted here but got no remedy. I tried all the things you've mentioned, reflashing the ROM, raeflashing the radio, etc. Nothing helped.
Finally, I had the idea to restore a recent backup from before I had the problem. THAT worked. I hope it helps you too.
I didn't have a chance to call during the day but I did head over to my friend's house who lives in a different area. She has VZW just as me and she was getting 3G on her blackberry but 3G/mobile data was still unavailable for me.
It's not a coverage issue but on my end.
While lurking around the mobile data settings, there was a profile for VZW under APN settings. Could someone post theirs so I could see if they match with mine? Maybe that's the solution to my problem?
I don't think it's rom dependent. I lost 4g the other day and I have yet to get it back. I have my own theories but the jerk at the VZW store wouldn't let me try my theory. I'm waiting for my usual rep to comeback, she lets me try just about anything I want. The rest are just dicks. I have tried swapping roms, radios, and all but going back stock to fix it. And nothing has brought it back. BTW, have you tried CDMA prl to see if you can get data at all? I can get 3g that way, but when I go into evdo/lte or lte only I lost all data. Also, do you have it in rev A mode under your modem settings?
I had this exact same problem with BAMF remix 1.6.3, to make this story short this is how it eventually got fixed:
Go into settings and do a check for new software.
This will force 3g to cut on. (Note: it may take a few times for the 3g to come on and STAY ON. It took me almost a day doing it about every hour.
Enjoy
Holy crap, that worked. Of all the things I tried and I couldn't get anything. Now LTE is back. You're awesome.

I have to go to work right now but yes it is turning on 3G at the moment but it's only using the up arrow (eg. uploading data but not downloading data). I"m guessing with a couple of more tries it'll eventually lock in.
If this doesn't work on gingerbread, I'll try reverting back to froyo and try it then as well.

Glad I could help.. I spent nearly two hours on the phone with Tier II support and they guy said.. well this is a long shot but try this. Didnt work the first time I tried it so he sent me a new phone but in the time it took to get the new phone, I kept trying and it finally locked in.
Ok, well I thought it worked. Every time I try it, it will give me the 4gLTE indicator, but if I open up anything that uses data it just says no mobile conectivity then after about 5-6 min it stops showing any data. Also, I can still go back to CDMA(PRL) and get 3g. It's just under 4GLTE/evdo and lte only.
BTW, for any other future reference, I started experiencing these issues right after I debloated (uninstalled) the blockbuster app.

keep trying... it will stick eventually
It's alright, I have a replacement coming tuesday. I just have to return to stock before then.
When you guys went to the software update option, during that duration when it was enabled were both 3G arrows animated? I'm only getting an up arrow (uploading).
I've been trying now for hours on the PRL setting and also cdma+lte/evdo auto
Well, I haven't been able to get this to work. Is there anything else I should try besides the software update trick before returning my phone to stock and returning it to VZ?
i had the same problem as you OP, but after pressing check new enough times and jumping straight into the browser, i got it to stick. took at least 12 tries, however and i'll see if it lasts.
love the franklin avatar btw!
also, is anyone using juice defender? idk if its coincidence or not, but i d/l the program last night and this is the first data connectivity problem i've had with the tbolt.
Yes, I had both arrows. But, for some reason when I would open the browser to google it wouldn't work. I tried about 4 times, each time it would show data, but I wouldn't have a connection. Also, it would show data being up and down stream, but I couldn't manage to get it to work when I tried it.
I've had the phone for 5 days, and I've gotten about 5 restarts.
It happens when I'm doing something. Playing with ring tones, playing a poker game app...
Just wondering if it's happened to anyone else, and if it's hardware or software related.
EDIT: 9/29/2011
I've had the phone for about 2 weeks now. The past week, I've not had any restarts. Don't know what's changed. I think there was an OTA update about last week. I"ve been using it as much as I had been - web browser, angry birds, email, etc...
Oh, about last week I also re-seated the battery. Don't know if that does anything, since the battery seem like it was seated fine. But someone recommended it. Could just be a fluke.
So, one way or another, the random restarts seem to have solved itself.
Me also
Had mine for about a week and has rebooted at least 5 times. Phone seems to hang and then rebooted.
I am coming from an EVO which never had these problems. Thought about trying a Samsung or another Photon
Yea, just yesterday when I was using my flashlight app for a few minutes. It has mostly happened when I used the led flash as a flashlight. It doesn't matter which app I use, it just restarts sometimes.
And also when I was playing a game today.

Those who don't have random restarts hardly at all...are you installing apps and using the phone fairly heavily?
I'm wondering if this is a hardware of software issue.
Try re-seating your battery and make sure the back is on good.I was having the restart issue and it ended up being that the rep that initially started the phone up didn't put the battery door on correctly.

Exactly. I've only had one random restart, after the OTA, but I chalk it up to the heat wave where I was working. Poor Mo-Pho got up to 119 degrees.
I would also suggest a factory reset and wipe of the internal SD, a lot of times the testing of each phone before they're put in the box can cause issues.

I am really so pissed how is that you see only good comments on this phone and no body mention this known issue on thos youtubbie crappy videos...
I cant believe that I paid good money for this phone and I am not the only one with the issue. Sad thing no body know if this is HW or Sorftware!

Ive had my phone for about a month, probably had 7 or 8 restarts total since I got it, two in one day during the first week but it seems better after the second OTA update. For the past two weeks I've only had two restarts. Each time it restarted I was playing angry birds and had let the phone got to sleep while in the middle of playing. When I woke it up it restarted. Sounds software related to me. Im rooted but not unlocked. I love this phone!
I get over 1 a day. Its sad. Def gonna get a replacement when I get the time

I get atleast one a day. I don't notice because at home I set my phone down a lot. It gets worse when im on the phone surfing the web. Then it seems to do it more often. Yesterday it rebooted three times in one hour. It gets annoying but im past my 30 days to return plus Sprint doesn't have any other phone that interests me.
Sent from my Photon.
I have the reboot issue, but I have narrowed it down. DEVS TAKE A LOOK!!
So far I can get a 100% repro of this issue if
1. I am on WIFI for DATA and make or receive a call.
2. then leave WIFI area and attempt to call out, TXT or use 3G data.
3. phone will reboot every time when that occurs.
60% repro of reboot issue with the fallowing.
1. make or receive call with WIFI on but not attached to network.
2. go into WIFI range of a known(not new!) WIFI hotspot and phone attaches to WIFI on it's own.(this will sometimes cause the WIFI, 3G, and phone signal to all appear in the task bar at the same time)
3. make a phone call, txt or turn off WIFI then attempt to use 3G data and phone will reboot.
Also this is VERY IMPORTANT!! The conditions above will not cause the reboot on it's own. If you have data updates off or leave WIFI off all day then you might never see this. Also VERY important if you receive a call when attached to WIFI and then use your phone for data only you will not get the reboot right away it may take upto 30-40 min. Also important, if you attempt to do either repro above via making a phone call you will see the dialer get stuck at "connecting" in the upper left hand side, but it will never go to "connected" and hitting anything on the dialer or the back button will not help only home, but you will notice nothing on the phone will work anymore. This will ultimately lead to a reboot!
Here is the problem as I have trouble shot the living crap out of this and it seem that either the voice/3G radio is locking up or the dialer is crapping out.
Also on a side note that when the dialer is stuck on "connecting" if you force stop the dialer it does nothing, but if you force stop the "dialer storage" it will kill the dialer, but you will still get a reboot at some point after that.
So now we know where to look at for this issue. Can any of the devs look into this as I am not sure where to go from here, but this IS the problem everyone is seeing and can be hardware or software.
Where any of you experiencing random reboots until you flashed a particular ROM? If so, which one solved the problem for you? I'm getting at least one random reboot per hour and it is even happening when I am talking on the phone. This is NOT acceptable!
I'm on my 2nd MoPho and I don't have confidence that another replacement will solve the issue.
Sometimes its an app that causes the reboots...i would freeze apps one by one until you find the culprit. Try it out!

You might want to start first with the apps that are running, it's really all I can think of, but having so many reboots is ridiculous...if anything i would switch it out for a new Photon...then if it happens again, you might be more assured that its an app thing.

That's just it. I don't really have any apps running. I haven't used the phone since last night and have received numerous reboots since then.
I think I'm going to attempt another factory reset and flash the latest SBF. I'll wait a while and if the reboots continue to occur, then I'll try joker's Skinny ROM. If the reboots still occur, I'll try a 3rd replacement phone.
Best of luck! I hope out all works out...this phone is a monster!

Did you do the MSL # reset? Sprint can guide you through it if you can't do it yourself.
##72786# [followed by your MSL code] clears all voice and data programming, then forces a handsfree activation

For me, my phone worked perfectly when I had zero installed apps on it. Therefore, I knew it was something I was doing/installing that was causing the problem. I started with the apps I used the most and installed them one at a time leaving a day between each install to see the effects. Everything was working well until I installed EE then within a few hours, my phone did a RR. Therefore, I knew something was up with EE. After doing some research, I found out that other Motorola phones where having the same problem with EE. I contacted the dev and he fixed it pretty quickly. Now, EE is the best email app for sure!
cool.. thats good for you... i hope i could find out what keeps my wife's phone to restart... right now she bought a new lg remarq.. no apps no prob hahaha thats what she said ... but still mopho is a good phone so im still looking forward to unlocking it on boost mobile tnx for sharing
I've been having issues with this phone overheating since I originally got it. Today, about 50 minutes after boot, the battery had gone from 100 to ~60%, and the temperature was 46 Celsius. The issue is that it regularly gets that hot. Putting it in airplane mode does stop the overheating, but I can't figure out what app or service is using the radios constantly. (Another issue I have noticed recently is really slow 3g speeds, but I don't know if that has any connection to it.) If anyone has any ideas, please tell me.

Well, what have you done to it? What software changes, apps installed? One might want to hope that its a simple software fix, have you backed your stuff up and done a factory reset, if that does not work what about doing another factory reset and formatting internal SD card (and removing external), if there are still issues, what firmware are you on?
So the main thing is to find out if it is actually defective (hard ware related) or software.
As TheChronicDroid pointed out, would be nice if Sprint could help but without the original ROM on it, they may not and hopefully won't make too much of an issue if its not the original one (wouldn't you hate it if the guy happened to remember that you came in before with a different ROM and have now put it back on original).
If you have changed the rom/rooted etc you can always put it back to original, including actually totally wiping and flashing an original sprint rom that will need some updates but will be totally original (is and SBF from memory).
Good luck;-)
