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
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
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
I have looked around and found other threads discussing changing between 3g/4g however mine seems to be far more quicker and unreliable than it should be, I have had this problem on kg3/kg6 but dont remember older modems.
Anyway I will be on my phone and within a minute time it will switch 10+ times between all three networks. Im also getting very unstable network connection and the network is slow which it should be a lot faster.
Is this a modem issue or kernel?
I noticed this as well since picking it up yesterday. At first i thought it was doing this when it was sending and receiving data but that isnt always the case.
Im on Cognition 1.31 with KG3 but also saw it on stock KG6

Yep, same issue here. My data is very unreliable and slow as hell at times. Just got the unit yesterday and it's already annoying the hell out of me.
When it works, it flies. Unfortunately, the radio of my Chilean SGSII seems to be unable to maintain a solid working connection under various signal conditions.
This is pissing me off and making me want to return this to Amazon. FWIW, I had similar data connectivity issues with an unlocked Nexus S (i9020A). Mostly slow data (like 300kbs on 3G slow). I tried three units and gave up. Is this a Samsung issue?
Would flashing/rooting/installing a custom ROM fix this? If not, it's back to my Atrix.
I may have just solved this by disabling fast dormancy (*#9900# in the dialer) so far it will switch but more when I'm not using the internet. And speeds have shot up! Does this work for everyone else?

The fast dormancy trick really didn't do anything for me, unfortunately.

Hello,
I have been having some issues with the Gin-Sen-Tazz Rom for Eris. First of all, this ROM is AMAZING. It is extremely smooth and easy to OC my Eris on this one. The only problem is that my data just drops on its own. Now, I've been wanting to list this on the [FIX] 3g Data drops on GB Sense Roms Thread but couldn't due to my less than 10 posts (or post it on the actual Gin-Sen-Tazz ROM thread). I'm not sure if my problem is the same as those on the [FIX] 3g Data drops on GB Sense Roms Thread. I've done those steps but still it just drops. The way it does it, usually when the screen is off and after a while of inactivity, it just goes out (the whole 3g/data). As if I manually turned off the data. When I try to turn it on (either via the widget/shortcuts or through Settings) it just say "turning on..." but doesn't. I have reverted back to a different ROM but remember something saying about..."Radio" something something in the "Wireless Networks / Mobil Network" check box. The data will never turn on unless i Restart the phone and even then it turns off after a while. I've installed the ROM MANY times, done all the wipes, all the Reverting Back to Stock and all that and avoided doing the *228 AFTER the ROM install. I'm hoping one of you genius' who are inventing these things, and by the way - GREAT JOB! could help me out. Please let me know if I need to add something to this lengthy question.
Thanks!!!
Does data work alright when running stock 2.1 after flashing Flashback21 v2?
I'll post a link to your question in both the 3g data drop fix thread and the Gin-Sen-Tazz thread so more people can come and help you figure this out.
Thanks for putting this in the dev forums for us... I'll have to load up gst in the am and check, but if I'm not mistaken, there are some powersave settings that might affect that. I'll report back tomorrow.
thanks!

I'll do some digging around when I get a chance too. What radio are you using BTW? Not 100% certain its that but I know on inc certain radios don't play well with gb sense. I know when I was running gst with the hero radio I didn't have and data issues but I did with the radio from Eris ota. I'll do some digging though and see if I can find anything. One thing you can try in the meantime though. Instead of rebooting, have you tried switching airplane mode on for a few seconds then back off? Doing this usually got my data back on for me instead of having to reboot.

The 3g drop is a known issue w/that rom. It happened daily to me the entire time I was using that rom. If you reboot the phone, like the others said,you will get the data connection back. I think the airplane mode trick works too.

Yes, Sir. Works like a charm...I'm using xtraSENSE right now and it works great. I've noticed, you know how on some phones/ROM's you can go into settings and have it automatically turn off data after so long of not using it. I've had that option on my Thunderbolt (when the screen is off) and when you turn on the screen the data connects, well, its kind of like that, except, it never connects and the setting reads something like "Connecting to....." can't remember the rest. I've noticed the xtraSENSE automatically disconnects data but connects perfectly when I turn on the screen.
Thanks!

CS, yep I've tried the Airplane mode. When I do that, the mode turns on, when I turn it off, the data still does not connect...as far as Radio, I'm not sure where to find that (I even tried googling it). However, when I used that link to revert ALL back to stock and there was that option to do the radio thing as well, I did that step, too. I hope that helps and thanks a mill!

Yep, Powersave Settings lol that's the name I was looking for on my previous post. And that's a great way to explain it. I think, if that ROM had an option to turn that powersave feature off, I think that would be nice only because it would not turn off on its own. But that just seems more like a shortcut and I'm certain that, for you guys, its a piece of cake to get to the root of the glitch.
THanks!!

Yeah, I wish it'd work for me. Its a great ROM, I'd put up with it until it would get fixed.
yea post 3, 4 idk 5 more minutes
I'm ganna try turning the power save feature off on this Rom and see if that works. Great idea, never noticed that before. Only thing is for me it seems to happen more often when I receive a text or a phone call when my phones locked (or "off"). I did notice that when my phone is active and I'm using it, I see the data turn off (3g icon disappears) and I just get my phone signal, whenever I recieve a text or phone call. I have not noticed this before on other roms. But then again, I have been known to be very un-observent before....

Dunno if anyone is still following this thread, but I've had a small breakthrough with the data drop issue in the sense gb roms 3g drop issue. I had power saver mode disabled all day yesterday and my 3g never dropped! Still to early to say if this is actually working or if i was just lucky, but in my experience my 3g would drop at least 1 time a day and sometimes more. So far so good. I will report back again in a couple of days of testing to let you know if this is a working "fix".

Yeah .... unfortunate...
I am surprised that I can't find a lot of people talking about CM7 nightly builds running on the Verizon Fascinate. Anyone out there running a recent nightly? I have already rooted my phone, and am thinking about flashing a nightly, but I want to make sure it's pretty stable first.
How are your experiences?
It's fairly stable. The volume in calls used to be really low but that was recently fixed.
The only major problem that I encounter is that Wifi and Data don't work when they say they're working. All you have to do is switch in and out of Airplane mode once or twice and it should work, but it might get frustrating for some people.
I'm using build 67 with no issues. Loving It.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I've been using the nightlies for quite some time now. As stated, they did have problems, they've pretty much all been rectified - I'm pretty damn picky when it comes to bugs with a phone I use daily, and I have no issues, everything seems to work fine.
Only problem, not sure when this was introduced because I got lazy in updating the nightlies, but somewhere between nightly 35 and when I updated to nightly 68 this morning somebody bundled this "LED Notification Wannabe" crap and I can't figure out how to turn it off - some sources say you can't.
Basically when you get an e-mail or text (every 5 minutes for me), your soft keys stay lit up solid until you view it. Haven't found out how to disable it, not even in the CM7 settings. It's annoying as all hell because it basically means my soft keys are lit up all day.
Though yeah, aside from that, in any of the nightlies I've used pre-36, I haven't had any issues - I mean yeah, I had the volume problem and the SD card wipe, etc., but all of that stuff was rectified a long time ago. Bug free, very stable nightlies...but don't count on it I guess?

Go to Settings > Profiles > Default
In the Application groups select each of the groups and click on "Lights mode" set it to OFF. To apply the changes you need to select a different profile and go back to the one you modified (Default in this case)

Ah, okay, most of the other how-tos for this are deprecated (ie. LED disable in places that no-longer exist in CM7 settings, but I also found this, but to no avail for me. I didn't know I had to change profiles at the end. Thanks, I'll try that now, god I hate that so much .
my personal experience with CM7 on the Fascinate: it's half-baked.
phantom ring problem, where the phone continues to ring after you pick it up to speak to someone.
data stops working and you have to cycle airplane mode to have it work again
battery life sucks
GPS takes 10 minutes to hone in on your location.
I just installed powerwashed GB last week and all these issues are GONE. I have to put up with Sense UI now, but it's a price well worth paying to get rid of constant bugs.
I'll give CM7 another shot when they have a good stable mod.
I'm really happy with the all of the newer builds. In the past (back in the days of build 35) I had lots of bootloop issues and freezeups. Pretty much everything is resolved now.
I don't think I could NOT have a CM7 nightly on my phone haha. You should really check them out.
Even if you hate it just restore your backup!
CM7 used to be very sensitive to low signal areas; the data connection would disconnect and not recover. The only solution then was to try airplane mode and if that didn't work pull the battery.
Has this been fixed?

For me i'm going to say no, not really. My house is in a low signal area and though its improved I still have to do airplane mode from time to time. Different radios made little difference, though ED05 is slightly better than EC09

It could just be Miui, I haven't tried any other roms since I got it working, so it might not work in VGB or CM7. I prefer Miui so once I got it working, I've just left it alone.
I got JTs Kernel from a link he posted on his Twitter account, on the 12th obviously.

Arg, I have this problem - maybe had, I haven't been in a long signal area for awhile.
Doesn't matter though, NOBODY around here or on IRC believed me about the issue, they all just said to re-key the phone by switching phones on VZW to fix that problem.
I'm glad to see people have seen the problem outside of just me.
I haven't tried it lately, b/c there's tons of coverage in my area, but in the earlier builds I definitely had that problem when there's barely any coverage (about 105db signal) for a long time, no wifi on, 3G just cuts and never turns back on.
Never thought I'd be happy to see somebody have an issue, but now I am.
But hey, everybody thought I was lying then so maybe it's not an issue at all? Who knows...
EDIT:
The problem was also shown on VGB and PP.
Running the latest CM7 nightly with Glitch kernel. It flies; rarely have stability issues.
So i've tried searching the forums for relevant info for about a week now and there is always some variable or 4 that makes it hard to determine if it's the cause for my issue. On stock software, my HSPA+ speeds would range from 2mbps (bits not Bytes) to 5 depending. Now i don't go above .35Mbps download. I've been allover the tri-state area with the same results recently so that has killed my thoughts that there may be a signal issue in the area. Here is my info:
Model : SGH-i777 (on AT&T)
Location - Fairfield, CT
Modem - i777UCKH7 (have also used a couple other modems after rooting with same results)
Kernel: 3.0.15-CM-g094e910 ([email protected]) (gcc Version)... sept 24 2012
AOKP Version i777 JB Build 9.224.2012
Android Version 4.1.1
My question is, i've tried various Modems thinking that is really the main place where the issue could occur and i've had the same results: poop data speeds; is it possible that the kernel be another cause of week speeds?i If not that, does any one have any suggestions?
Please help!! thanks
If you've tried different modems with the same results, the only other thing I could think of would be APN settings, which may have changed if you've installed another rom. Kernel should not have any effect on data speeds.

i found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576199&highlight=apn+settings and i'm applying them now, hopefully properly. Thanks sir. I'll check back and let you know what i find.
Other than APN settings and modem, the only other thing that I could add is build prop tweaks. There is an app called 3g/4g optimizer that will do that, or values can be set using root explore and text editor.
Edit... those seem like edge or 2g speeds, on cm10 there is a setting for that, it's in settings,wireless and networks, more, mobile networks.
Arg!!!> so i've reset my APN settings and encounter the same problems. Used the suggested 3g/4g optomizer to no avail. in fact i just ended up getting slower upload speeds. this is literally the only thing that's frustrating me in terms of my experience with rooting my phone. everything else has been golden.

Try checking your speed some time later in the night. It could just be a lot of congestion during peak hours.

Also DONT USE the speed test app as it gives wrong speeds. Use your web browser and go to Speak Easy speed test here: http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ as it seems to be more accurate.
Some build.prop changes DO effect it as well. Not sure what your settings are but you can change them to see an increase. Shoot me a pm and I can post what and how to change the build.prop that I use if your interested.
Also maybe I missed it above and will look again after I am done typing here, but what ROM are you on? Stock rooted? Or other?

did not see the earlier post originally but i have toyed with the 2g settings, testing with settings both on and off just to be sure. with 2g only on, i'm getting half the normal speeds. at .14Mbps down. off i'm pretty consistantly around .30 Mbps down.
about to try something pretty rudimentary... asking ATT if they are throttling my speeds for any reason.
/wrists
2g? Edge?
there is no "throttle" on Edge, as there is no speed on edge. Im amazed you are able to perform a speed test on edge.
No reason to mess with Edge. Cant run a smartphone on Edge.

Downloading at .30 is edge speed, there is a setting for "use only 2g networks" . I thought that option could have been checked, causing the slowness. If AT&T throttled the phone it would get that slow also.

That cleared it up. Wasnt sure where the 2g part was coming into play.
There are apps, or maybe even codes that can tell you tower info, make sure you've tried different towers.
If you get no difference, flash back to stock, and call at&t.
The use 2g setting will only show the edge icon for signal. Also in settings-about phone-status, there is umts. I think it goes 3,8, and 15 with 15 being the best.
