Hi,
I'm having trouble connecting to my data plan on my atrix, i use the same config as always, its the same config i used on other android phones, i just updated to 2.3 today, but i never used data on 2.2 so don't know if its a known issue, my atrix is a AT&T, unlocked and my carrier es VIVA Dominicana y tried doing just like it said on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076466 but did not work.
Any aideas?
Thanks
does some one elf has this issue?
I had to do a full factory reset when I updated from froyo to gingerbread on my Atrix. Literally nothing was working slow sluggish no data but after the factory reset everything works like charm. That is might your only or beat option to get it back running.

at lest that fix my fingerprint problem but APN still not working
wait, is your mobile data completely not working? if that's the case, try a new radio for your phone (though i couldn't find any looking through the dev forums. maybe wasn't searching enough?) If anything, try the factory reset and see how things go for you. If it still doesn't work, just post back with more info on how you upgraded and more info on your hardware and firmware and I'll do my best =]

Hey fellow xda members,
I have to check out my sisters vibrant this weekend.... (she is so not tech friendly)
Its her 3rd vibrant and all had same issues... Rebooting, dropping signal and data and the whole not sending sms and mms messages.... She talked to tmobile and they had no clue and essentially gave up on her....
What are my options to trying to get this working for her. And/or what can/should say to T-mobile about resolving this issue... They offered her an exchange at one time but it was a very low end phone... Not a good deal if u ask me..
1. Tried rooting on her first phone-wasnt successful...(i didnt root it so not sure)
2. Possible bad kernel or radio causing these issues... Hard to believe that 3 phones .
3. Still running stock software as tmobile told her not to update phone to latest software . (she did that with her 2nd phone and same result)
4. Could rooting and a finished rom resolve some or most of her issues?
(I have had several android phones and all were rooted so i know)
5.... CLUELESS....
Well if your trying to update your phone to froyo id recomend you to flash a custom rom from the vibrant developement if you dont know how to root your fone download the vibrant toolbox on your pc and it has like 10 steps (all of them are in order so you wont get confused and since your phone its not rooted theres and option that says ROOT YOUR PHONE start from that step.. click on that box and it tells you the steps and what you should do but you must have usb debbugin ebabled

Odin to 2.1 then d/l rom manager then root then get Biwinning or Trigger or ZenDroid all are Froyo roms all will resolve you problems
The problem you are having is a result of human action......... the chances of 3 phones all having the same problem is like winning the Lotto.......
Human action I love it!!!! Lol will show my sister that. . Lol

I went over to my families house the other day and my sister said, "look its doing it again". When I looked over the phone was shutting down and rebooting. I asked her if it did that alot and she said it had just started in the past few days. She did not mention dropping data connection or having problems with sms or mms. A while back I rooted her phone and added MobileAP but that is all. Everything else is still stock and no official updates were applied either.
My plan is to backup all her stuff this weekend and flash something onto it. I told her we would find a good stable ROM for her and some theme options she would like and just do it all on sat or sun. I'm not sure if that is gonna fix her problem as I wanna believe its a hardware defect but she doesn't wanna exchange it just yet and I'm done arguing with her. If that doesn't werk I told her we would have to put it back to stock and call T-mobile. That's our plan, hope it helps on ur decision. Good luck!
@kawika thanks it didnt help lol
Im going to root her phone and install Iunno looking at a 2.2 rom maybe...Trigger rom.
I cant believe that three phones later she has same issues.. Specially since her hubby and daughter have a Cliq xt and have better reception then hers...
? do i need to install a new modem/radio as well as flashing rom? And how do I know which is the right one?

And you stated in the OP, she is on stock software. For sure? The rebooting when signal dropped low was a bug in the services.jar of our initial i9000, android 2.2.1 ports. This was of course patched by Eugene373 with further work by birgertime (and some fumbling by myself) in the official ports of 2.2.1 for the Vibrant. If she is definitely on stock software with no mods though, then that doesn't apply, but was my first instinct.
Most roms we have out now, with the exception of GingerCloneR3, come bundled with modems. They are most likely the modem that the rom chef/dev likes the best, but you can always flash a new modem on top of a custom rom. Different users in different areas have different results with different modems. Gotta test them to see what works the best for her.
Flashable modems are all here, courtesy of scrizz: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868774
Those can be flashed over any rom, just make sure you grab a 2.2 modem for froyo, or 2.1 for eclair respectively.
You might want to start with running Odin to flash her back to stock software, and then go from there. If you are going to do that, I recommend a modded Odin package by Eugene, available here: http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=samsungsgs&action=display&thread=3 . Its stock-ish JK2 Froyo for the Vibrant, already rooted, with superuser and busybox, and modded 2e recovery so you can easily flash and install Clockwork Recovery if you choose to do so. That file is my go to, when all else fails and I need to get back to stock.
Good luck with your endeavors, hope some of this helps.
she is def on stock 2.1 for sure.!.
thanx... will keep yaz informed heading on the road now.. b there in 5plus hours
This sounds very familiar to problems my Vibrant was having. It turned out to be a flakey SIM card. I went to my local T-Mobile store and they swapped it for a new one at no charge. That fixed all of my SMS & connectivity issues. It might be worth a try, it definitely wouldn't hurt anything to get a new SIM card put in.
Lol she had one replaced as well and same issue..

Bell Atrix running OTA GB. The phone is unlocked and rooted now as I have been trying to fix this for a while now.
When the GPS is activated (the circle crosshair icon appears) my data connection drops and reconnects. This can take from 10-45 seconds and is highly annoying. It has only been happening since the update.
I have:
Flashed Gobstopper for Froyo - seems to work fine with no loss of data connection
Flashed Gobstopper for GB - GPS/Data issue is back
Flashed Faux123's kernal - GPS/Data issue is there
Flashed CM7 Beta - Same GPS/Data issue
Each flash is through recovery with a complete wipe (wipe Dalvik, cache, data. Erase boot, system, userdata, cache, webtop, preinstall.)
I am out of ideas. Any suggestions?
Well I guess my issue is unique. Lucky me.
After flashing Froyo and letting the OTA update happen everything was doing well...
until I used THIS method to root my phone. As soon as I did this and installed Titanium Backup the GPS causes data connection drop.
At least I seem to have found the reason, now to find a fix.
(I am continuing to document this in case someone else has this same issue in the future.)
EDIT: After flashing 2.2.2 and letting it OTA update to 2.3.4 once more I found that it did the same thing again. GPS turns on, data connection drops then reconnects. This is without redoing IHOP. Without rooting. So the rooting method is off the hook. I am now leaning towards a hardware issue. I guess it is time to check out eBay for a spare Atrix and send this off to Bell to see if they will fix/replace it with an unlocked bootloader.

Update: Bought a new phone. Bell Atrix. Came with 2.2. Put my sim in it. Logged in to Motoblur. Updated OTA to 2.3. Added my google account.
Still does it. I can't believe there are no others experiencing this. That is two phones. Same thing.
Only other thing I can think to do is get tasker and keep gps off until needed.
I still love my Atrix!
You are not alone!
I started experiencing this at some point after the Gingerbread 2.3.4 update as well.
It's disappointing to hear that it also happens with CM7.
Did you ever post about this in the Motorola Support Forums?
I haven't posted in the Motorola support forums. I searched there and found most of the responses lacking in service.
I am running CM7 stable and it seems to work better now. Better all around. Haven't gone back to Bell's GB for a couple of weeks.
Before I made the leap to CM7 I did find that if I left the GPS off and turned it on just before using it there was less of an issue.
Yeah Motorola has absolutely terrible support, but I only was wondering if you posted there since it might help them take notice.
I'd really love to put CM7 on mine too, but I can't get any answers to some of the questions I have first, and lots of the info I find online is contradictory.
I found though that if I turn off the "use wireless networks" option in the location settings that it seems to help a lot.
But then there are apps that nag at me about that setting being off.
Been running CM7 nightly 4. No issues at all. Best firmware for this phone. Hands down.
Follow the instructions and everything will work great.
Hey There.
Bell atrix freshly international boot unlocked, CWM with Neutrino 2.7, first time google mapping startup after bootup, Data connection drops right after GPS icon lights up. Data picks up again, and most times have to restart app, google mapping then works.
Waste around a minute every time. Can happen a while after first boot as well.
Seem to remember a problem like this on my Vibrant, had to change supl settings through phone codes.
But I've got nothing here. Still digging.
FYI - I'm also a canadian Bell Atrix owner. A commonality?
Also determined:
If on wifi when gps app/gps turns on, I see Atrix drop wifi, and go to H+ data.
If only on data when gps app/gps turns on, I see Atrix drop H+ data, and go... nowhere. H+ Data comes back after a dozen or so seconds
Also, happens when using NottachTrix as well.
Threw in my Rogers sim as well, same problems with dropping data when GPS runs
I remember having this problem on my Desire Z. It was driving me crazy back then, but I finally found the culprit.
It turns out the problem was that there were 2 data APNs (not including MMS). Whenever the GPS is enabled, the phone would disconnect from data because of this. I deleted the redundant APN (leaving only one APN that I wanted to use) and everything worked fine since.
Working rom
I found a rom that works, Max Blur 5, it is based on the original bell rom 2.3.6, I tested several other Roms and only based on bell works. The last version Max blur 6 not working it's base on ATT rom..
I am on the Bell network in Montréal Québec.

i have been using my optimus v for close to a year now. i got it right when they had their huge data outage last year. i have had official 3g data on it for 2 weeks, then kaput...nothing. i have had service turned back on twice in this year and neither time have i had 3g.
im running a CM7 port (BOBZHOME CM7RC1) on my phone now, but the 3g didnt work in stock either. phone does though.
virgin has "restarted" my 3g from their end countless times and walked me through stuff on my phone. nothing has worked. the only weird thing i can find is that my MEID looks different from my wife's (she has an optimus v as well). her actual MEID is close, but hers is preceded by a large number in (##) parenthesis. could it be some problem with that?
and i have read and read through the forums for the development of my CM7 port, the official CM7 version that was ported and even other people having similar problems on other phones. there are no loss of 3g problems with my port according to the community or the developers. so, might not be the rom.
are there any little tricks i can try or any way i have to have my phone set up or any apps that might be interfering? its driving me nuts!! just paid for a month and cant use data!!
didnt work in stock or CM7 with android 2.3.4 or 2.3.5.

Which baseband version do you have? v20G or v10E? Oh and you might of switched to "Use only 2G networks" mode. You can check by going to settings-Wireless and networks-mobile networks-then you will see it at the bottom
baseband says "unknown"
And the option for "2g" only isn't there.

no such critter.
you can get it for the optimus s, but the pv4 and pv5 baseband cab files released by lg for the optimus v are each missing a dll file that lets the phone service tools fully unpack the cab to bin, prl, scr, etc.
if you use the optimus s firmware/radio, you will permanently lose that 3g connection you're trying to recover.
ok. i fixed it. i had to do what i was dreading doing from the beginning. i flashed back to the stock and ran the activation app. the activation failed but my 3g turned right on. and right after that i rebooted into recovery and flashed the latest bobzhome CM7.2 port. still works.
also, the clockwork recovery i have doesnt have a button command to boot into recovery. so, if you flash to the stock you will not be able to reboot into recovery from the OS and might not be able to use a button commands. what i had to do was plug in the usb and use an ADB command.
adb reboot recovery

and boom, i was on my way. glad i had my PC set up to send ADB commands.
your lucky, I live in North Eastern Pennsylvania and we have no 3g
Hey all! So...after struggling with this problem for a couple weeks, I've finally decided to get some help. I have an HTC Thunderbolt, currently running MIUI-Vicious-ICS-4.0, with 2.6.35.14-imoseyon-5.1.0AOSP+ Kernel. Also, the baseband is 1.48.00.0906w_1,0.01.78.0906w_2.
The problem is that I don't get 3G at all, and often I loose data completely. Very rarely do I have even 3 bars of 1x. WiFi still functions though. I've had this problem on many ROMs (CM7, MIUI, DasBAMF) so I know it isn't the ROM. I'm paying for data every month so it sucks not being able to use it
If you need any more details, feel free to ask. ANY help on this would be VERY appreciated!
Thanks!
Take the phone back to stock, radios and all. If still no data, phone is screwed. But right now, no ics Roms for the tb have data working

So after I go stock everything and it works, can I root again? Because the very first time I had rooted my phone, I flashed CM7 and everything was working fine before I decided to switch ROMs like a mad-man.
I have a nandroid backup that I made right after rooting my phone, it has stock everything. Do you think I should try that to see if it works before messing with anything else?
Yes, you could try your backup.

Hi all. Ive ran into issues AFTER root an im wondering if any other canadian users or telus users have had it happen or have a solution. Heres the order of what i flashed and the issue it caused:
DAG ROOT : Wifi works at home but not at work...will connect but no data gets through.. I think its blocking wpa-tkip encryption which is what the network uses that im trying to connect to..
Cwm recovery: Installed fine no further issues. I tried to fix the wifi with the stock kernel...no luck.. Tried telus radio and it doesent install
then i flashed the DAG Root OC: caused startup FC's. Anyone experiencing anything similar or fixed any of these issues? Sent from my SGH-I717D using XDA
I can guess wifi issue is bcoz of gingerbread version, just deal with it for now.
Once in a while make reset ur wifi in phone.
Like SGS2, on early veraions of gingerbread used to give me hard time to connect public wifi, where you need to login for connection.
I just hope we get ICS soon, to make our Note perfectly nice all what this nice hardware deserve.
