problems with data - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

it shows that i have HSPA+, but i have no internet connection. I dont know if this is because of the new market. i remember there was a while back on how to fix the radio after you initially updated to 2.3.4. Im running 2.3.4 beta 4 .I do reboot and get signal once again, but its like i have to do it like every other time im checking the internet. Im running the 1.8.3 radio and flashing the 1.9.7 doesnt seem to make any changes.

I sorta have same issue and what i mean sorta is i live RIGHT under a cell
tower for att and get great signal but randomly drops out only with this new build.
I Think the market may have something to do with it since i installed new one i see
it drops more i uninstalled it now haven't had a drop since yesterday

It's the new Market. I had same issue and went back to old version until the problem is fixed.
Just go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > select Market > uninstall updates.
This will revert you back to the old version where your problems with data connection loss will not exist!

Connection problems browsing market.

Most of the time when I browse the android market I lose service. Anyone come accross this issue and has a fix for it?

Ive been having this same issue. Att 2.2. Seems like everytime I go on I have a cinnection issue. I hit retry a bunch of times then my connection suddenky kicks back in.
I thought AT&T's network was acting flaky. This started happening to me after upgrading the market to 2.3.6. Worse, when I was on the phone last night talking, E (EDGE) was indicated instead of H (3G).
I can't verify this, but I believe the problem is with the update to the market.
Had this till I did a factory reset on 351 now its working fine again.
yea me too wierd at least itS only the market and in comes back after a couple secounds

Can you please tell how did you do that? did it from recovery mode or from settings-> privacy-> factory reset? anything would help.
Thanks in advance
Boot into recovery by holding the two volume buttons then turning the streak on. But the issue returned today.
Lets get some command ground on this. What version is everyone running?
I am on Stock 351 rooted baseband 35100-US
Rooted 351 with 351 baseband on AT&T.
Just a thought here. You might want to check around the forums and see whether all phones are affected, or if it's just Streaks on AT&T.
Hey guys, think i found a fix. It consists of merging the mms settings to the ATT US apn then deleting the ATT MMS apn. more info and a guide at my post here
Is this works I have same problem also using AT&T
This problem is always occurred to me I don't know the problem but this trick help me to recover the market connection problem,
1. since this problem occurred when using WIFI I go to setting->wireless&networks->unmarked wi-fi
2. try connect to market using 3G (it's always work for me)
3. after succeed connect to market using 3G, I go to setting again and marked the wi-fi.
I hope this can help to solve the problem without turn off, clear cache or factory reset.

2.3.4 OTA applied, cel data takes a while to activate??

Okay, my phone is on the 2.3.4 OTA update it is also rooted and unlocked ... have recently wiped it clean to try to track down the issue ...
since updating it ... now when i go to the marketplace it will 'hang' and not download anything for a bit ... the H+ icon on the top is in black letters ... after a while the icon will update and show the H+ in blue and the arrows start to light up and the download will finally start ...
if i connect it to wifi it works just fine
i notice if i let the phone sleep for a legnth of time it will do this over again, but if i keep it 'awake' it continues to work as normal...
is there a setting someplace that i am overlooking that allows you to suspend cellular data while sleeping ?
It seems similar to what a lot of us OTA-ers are experiencing. Definitely wondering about this as well.
~ Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G ~
ok so it is not just me .... searched on the forum for a bit and did not find a post about it.
Is it only when you go to the Market?
Are you using the new Market app? (New Market app can cause data to drop).
More info please.
when i first applied the OTA it had the old market but was doing this ... (i did a reset because of it and the fingerprint scanner not working) ... after the reset the first time i went to the market it downloaded the new version and worked for a bit ... but now it is back to making the H+ turn black which i am guessing is showing that there is no data ??? because nothing else will work for a bit after that happens ...
oh, and the fingerprint scanner still doesn't work but thats another issue i need to figure out.
Make sure that your phone is logged into Google Talk by following these steps:
Go to your phone’s app launcher, and press the Talk app
If you’re already logged into Talk, press Menu, and then touch Sign out
Launch Talk again to sign in
Check the markets support page, its under known issues, had the same problem and it worked for me

[Q] Market problem over 3g

Hello fello MoPho owners,
I have a problem with downloading in Market over a 3g connection. I can access Market just fine, but when I attempt to download an app I receive an error.......and Market cannot detect a data connection.
Rather than backup and restore my device, I was hoping that I could identify why this has happened? The device has not received any recent updates, as any Market downloads just mysteriously stopped working. However, Market works just fine over wifi to include downloads.
I am rooted on the stock rom gingerbread 2.3.4. The Market version is 3.3.11. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I also get an "invalid package file" error. I downloaded two apps just fine and then I kept getting the problem :confuse: I'm unclocked stock with 1.3 stable kernel.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
I ended up resetting the device and it worked fine. I noticed that the Market version upon reset was an older version. I don't think the updated Market was the problem however, as it was working. Nevertheless my device is back up over 3g. Should anyone encounter the same bug, please post your fix and or findings. Thanks, and happy hacking!
I had that issue as well. One thing i could suggest is to find on xda a marketplace.apk older then the one your on and try and REPLACE it under astro
It is under "/" root, then system, then app. Make sure to BACKUP your old version please and set your permissions what i usually do i select all boxes then reboot and try again. Im.just having issues with a few select apps downloading like parallel kingdom but i think its jokers skinny rom. One other thing as well is to make sure under settings and battery and data make sure ita not set to only work over wifi....

i had the same problem when i got my photon and freaked out till a guy in my class showed me that the data saver was enabled.
To disable:
Go to Settings--->
Battery & Data Manager--->
Data Saver--->
and uncheck Data Saver
they put the data saver option on the phone because next year they will no longer offer the unlimited data plan
I had the same problem too on my Motorola DEFY+. This is the solution. Now it works fine. Thank you!

Where did you get this info? I will got back to AT&T!

cant download unless im on wifi help?

Well my question is in regard to the atrix radio.
It started today...or at least I just noticed this morning.I run cm7ba2tf with 1.45 kernel.I also installed weekely 3 on top of that.
It has been running great for about for about a week and a half.suddenly my phone has been acting weird.
I had the. 30 radio
This morning internet was great like usual but I couldn't download from the market or internet.apps just wouldn't download.
Wifi did download apps from the market though.initially I thought something was wring with my radio.I flashed. 36 radio and reception was even better websites opened faster but still can't download from themarket or internet.I restored my back up still the poblem persists .I ran a speetest everything is good.my data plan isn't done yet so I don't know why I can download unless I'm on wifi can anyone help me?
Can u download using a web browser? If so its a market problem. You can go into market under yer applications and delete the cache for it ( the data) then reboot. If that doesn't work have u tried wiping cache and dalvik from within recovery?

i had a similar issue earlier today, the market would load but i couldn't download apps, webpages would come up, but applications that required a network connection to request data (e.g. Amazon price check) gave me a network error.
i checked my APNs and switched from 'AT&T US' to 'AT&T US HSDPA', and everyone was happy.
Can't download either through the browser or market.sideloading enabled. Device fully unlocked.flashed different radios to see if that's the issue and factory reset twice.cleared caches dalvik and permissions too.it seems its a network data issue sites liad fast just downloads don't work going to call att tomorrow if I can't figure out the issue

Constant data use after reinstall

Hey guys
I just installed the leaked AT&T ICS (the CWM version that's been posted), and so far everything's generally great.
However, ever since I upgraded to ICS, my phone has been downloading data like crazy over WiFi. Oddly enough, this has happened on my phone before as well when I was using GB, and I believe it also occurred then right after a reinstall.
It's incredibly annoying because whatever the phone's downloading, it seems like it's using a lot of bandwidth because any other internet-related activities I try and do take *forever*. I've rebooted the phone several times, tried stopping every service that I can, and turned off all auto account sync stuff. It's been several hours since I installed ICS, and it's still going.
I'm going to let it sit overnight and see what it's doing in the morning, but even if this is only a temporary problem it's REALLY annoying. Especially since if it's not done doing whatever it's doing by morning, I won't be able to use cellular data on it because I only have the 200 MB plan and don't feel like losing my entire volume for the month because I can't stop my phone from downloading.
Any ideas as to what's causing this? Like I said I'm pretty sure this isn't an ICS-specific problem because it happened under 2.3.4 also, I just want to be able to shut down whatever's doing this excessive downloading. And I'd love to know *what* exactly is being downloaded that's it's taking so long and using so much bandwidth.
Thanks for any help you guys can lend
If you do switch to data to let it pull it down, you can use the data usage in the settings to see what app is doing it. My Data Manager (free in the Play Store) can also monitor data, on cell data and wifi. That would also tell you what app is doing it.
I would guess you either have a ton of data in your Google account, such as contacts, calendar, Gmail, or you have an app that is trying to sync data down. I'm guessing you are restoring apps, then notice the data draw. Think about any apps you have that may sync data back and forth. If you sign into your Google account at initial set up, it should (depending on settings) automatically download and install your apps. But, that should be apparent, you should see the downloads as it does them app by app.
All that is based on guesses of what I would consider "normal" behavior after installing a new ROM.
Good luck tracking it down. :thumbup:

Check what is using it, and listing what APKs you added might help.

Or avoid all that and use the native ICS data monitor.
The weird thing is that I hadn't really done anything to the phone when it started using all the data. My Google account doesn't really have much in it (don't have a ton of contacts, don't use it to back up apps/etc.), and I think the only things I'd done app-wise were updating a couple preinstalled apps (Facebook and Maps, I think), but I hadn't installed anything new yet.
I installed My Data Manager, but it looks like it's already done whatever it was doing. Though, even now the download arrow is constantly lit up on WiFi, but I think whatever it's doing now has something to do with the network I'm on (dorm room) as I've noticed almost constant non-zero download bandwidth being used on my desktop as well when it's on the network. If I turn WiFi off now it isn't constantly using cellular data any more, so thankfully it looks like it's finished with whatever it was doing and the constant WiFi downloading is a network, not phone, issue.
On an unrelated note, I was going to reinstall a tethering app, but figured I'd give a try to the built-in tethering first (don't have a plan). On GB it wouldn't even let me start up the tethering without a plan IIRC, but under ICS the tethering not only starts up, I can even connect my laptop to it. Unfortunately I couldn't get internet access on my laptop though, so I'm guessing there's still a restriction on it. Just found it interesting that you can actually enable the tethering without a plan now.
But there's a more serious problem, however. Is ATT clamping down on third-party tethering? I used to use Barnacle WiFi Tether, so I went to install that from the market. Well, Play tells me the app isn't able to be installed on my device because of carrier restrictions (lame). No problem, I figure, I go to their website and download the apk from there and manually install.
Well, when I try and start tethering using Barnacle, it says "WiFi: Could not set ad-hoc mode of wlan0: Operation not supported on transport endpoint"
Does this mean I'm screwed? Will any third-party tethering apps work? To be honest I'm not really into trying out 5 million different ROMs on my phone and don't really mind TW at all, so I'd prefer to keep it stock. But I use my phone overseas and need to be able to use tethering, and if ATT is really clamping down on third-party apps then I'll be installing a completely stock kernel once one's easily available.
Thoughts? Anyone else experimented with tethering on UCLC2 yet?
Well, never mind regarding the tethering stuff - I'd still be interested anyway to know if ATT is trying to actively prevent you from using it in ICS, but I just flashed the SHOstock2 ROM and I gotta say I'm blown away. Even after using it for a half hour I'm pretty sure I'll never go back to stock again (I'm sure most of you would say DUH to that), has everything I'd want in a ROM and nothing I don't. Default tethering works right out of the box too, so I don't even have to worry about installing another app.
Only kinda weird thing is the data indicator keeps switching between H+ and 3G (I'd post on the actual ROM thread but I don't have 10 posts yet...). I'm only on the 200 MB data plan so I switched it to the wap.cingular APN, but even after doing that it still switches. Data seems fast - and I'm not one to be super-concerned with data speeds since I'm mostly just checking e-mail - so it's not a huge deal, but figured I'd mention it anyway.

The data switching is normal. The device idles on 3g to save battery and kicks up to 4g when it needs the speed. Stock roms hide this behavior by showing the 4g icon even on 3g

I never thought to press the menu key in there, there is no indication there are more options. By default it doesn't show wifi data, but on my TouchPad running CM9, that's all it shows. Guess I shouldn't have assumed the ICS wouldn't be without menu use fragmentation like every other android version.
Yeah, the data switching on a custom ROM is normal. Just showing you what the phone actually does. It can save power by reverting back to the 3G vs H when you are idle. The first thing most custom ROMs add is tethering on the built in method. If the leak let you start it up, I'm guessing its incomplete. I would bet att does the same in ICS as GB and has an app to check your account before letting you turn on tethering. Att can detect tethering on the back end too, so if you are caught they warn you first, but you can end up being put on the tethering plan if you keep tethering.

Ahh, thanks for the info on the data switching, never knew about that!
I don't use tethering in the US, but I do overseas, which is why I was concerned about ATT blocking tethering apps. However, I realized it's probably not an issue anyway because I'm guessing that tethering wouldn't be blocked with a non-ATT SIM card. Anyway, SHOstock rocks, so it's all good
Also good to know that ICS can monitor WiFi traffic by default - didn't think to hit the settings button on that screen. I gotta admit, that's one huge interface design flaw of Android. There should be some kind of indicator on the screen when there's a menu available, really poor interface design choice to have to hit the menu button randomly to see if any menus are there.

With new ICS developed devices, most don't include touch buttons... The Nexus for example (using on screen buttons) only shows a menu button when a menu is available...
Cheers.
ALSO- I also noticed what appears to be constant "spurts" of Wifi data usage as well (at least according to my Wifi status bar indicator)... It doesn't seem to affect my Mobile Data, and every data monitoring App (including stock ICS data monitoring) doesn't show the culprit, which leads me to believe that we may be dealing with a system app that is accessing data in the background almost constantly... But only on Wifi. Maybe a location service, or something to do with Syncing? I say system because not even stock Data Monitoring is recognizing an app using data...
Another reason I say this is because I pointlessly wiped my device and started over due to this... "bug"... Only to find that running stock CM9 (with no installed apps) my Wifi indicator still led me to believe my device as downloading spurts of data constantly.
I haven't been able to narrow it down, and am hoping that the issue is fixed in a future software update. - But it is more than likely not an app, just an ICS/CM9 bug.
UPDATE- Just checked a Samsung Epic 4G running CM9 and the bug isn't there... So, it's something specifically within our device and ICS... Again, maybe a System app or Kernel bug...
