Ok so i was playing around earlier and found that going into the dialer and dialing *#*#4636#*#*
Go into phone information
Set prefered network to gsm/cdma(prl)
almost tripled my speed.
i was getting 230k now im getting 1000k with the speedtest.net app.
Now i know someone had another way of doing something similar, but that didnt seem to help me and this does
Anyone want to check for the selves abd post results?

Once I fix my phone I'll check it out Man.
Mine was already set for that. .12mb down and .07 up.

Just tried this:
Before change was getting 500-550kbps...after change got 575-625kbps.
Decided to reboot to let change 'settle in' and got about 200kbps so I undid the change and got 325-375kbps.
I checked it 2-3 times at each step, so I don't know what to make of that except the network is inconsistent. Oh,well...

Well the Atrix seemed to be performing very nicely thank you - until I accepted the OTA update. It's seemed very slow on network performance, so I downloaded speedtest.net app - getting BEST case 1.3M down and just 150k up, most of the time lower than that.
Showing H+ for the connection and 4 bars on this test. Most of the time it's under 1M for down and 113k for up. I know the 4G upload is supposed to be crippled but seems to me it should be doing much better on down than this.
I stopped just about all running applications to verify it wasn't something messing with the OS.
Any ideas folks ? Factory reset and start over ?
I haven't heard of this popping IP, you should definitely factory reset and start over :/

That happened to me..turned it off&back on and that solved the problem.

Can I ask if your allowing enough time for heavy network load to pass? Ie try it again at 6am or midnight?
So, stock I ran the speedtest app and managed around 32 down on 4G - since installing a custom Rom however, it seems anything based on the .9 release, uploads seem capped at around 5. Anyone else have this problem?

Ya my upload speeds were right around 24mbps stock. After root, kernal and rom i dont get above 4mbps up. Strange. Also speed test app says I'm closest to DC. Even though I'm in Florida.. could be GPS fail.

Guys.. you arent actually getting those speeds. LTE does about 15 down, 5 up. The buffer on the phone lies about your speed because the file being sent is smaller than the buffer size. If you want a REAL number, tether to your desktop computer and run speakeasy.net

so once you root the packet being sent changes size when rooted??? i did a few trys before and after rooted at the actual speedtest.net not the app and there was a difference so im sure there is something else goin on

Something about this doesn't pass the smell test though - using the same app, same hardware with only the underlying framework changed the numbers it reports should be identical..... even if they are flawed and way inaccurate. I know in reality it isn't 30 something up, that's a little rediculous, however I would expect a custom rom to report the same error the stock rom reports, or if it doesn't have an explanation as to why it doesn't, and why the number it reports is more correct... it's just confusing otherwise. Thanks for the replies guys, it's been bugging me
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".
