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.

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!

So as the title says, I'm experiencing times when I have full 3G (I don't live in a HSPA + area) but the H its greyed out. I can make calls and send texts, but can't access any websites. I'm running ginger blur 3.5 but was experiencing this prior to loading it as well. I'm not running any battery saving apps that may be disabling the internet usage. Usually a reboot of the phone will get me service. Any ideas??? Thanks in advance!

This might not help you.. I use a widget that can turn on/off mobile data and sometimes it gets a little screwed up. If I go into settings > data > data manager (I believe) and manually turn it off and back on it sometimes fixes my problem. You could try that instead of rebooting sometimes ..not super helpful advice but ya never know.

Did you configure the APN already? Did you try your SIM card on another phone to discard a problem with your line? Is data enabled in data manager?
Check those. That might be the issue
try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13838602&postcount=5
works perfectly here, no idea why you have to do it though, obviously you need to make sure your apn settings are correct aswell.
Got my sgs2 yesterday, had the Sim put in, data worked fine. Took it out and put it in my captivate so I could charge my new phone, and data worked fine there too. But now putting it back in my new phone it gets signal but no data.d. I've checked all the settings, I have packet data enabled, even tried roaming. Also rebooted several times. Any ideas or suggestions?

Try this, go into settings>privacy>factory data reset> select that and it
will delete any apps you have downloaded/installed and it will format and
use all the default settings the phone had when you first purchased the phone.
It will format your internal sdcard and reset the phone.
If you have any mp3's, pictures or videos on the phone
right now you may want to copy all of that stuff to your
computer first.

That only wipes and resets the system and data partitions, it won't touch the sdcard, but you should have all of everything important to you backed up before you try anything encase something gets corrupted.
That said I would do some more trouble shooting on your signal and connection before you start doing things like this.

You may actually want to call AT&T and tell them you're not getting any data connection. I had that happen to me when I got my previous phone before my gs2 and again when I got my gs2. It probably still shows the captivate provisioned to the network for your data side of the line.
They will tell you to turn off the phone then remove the battery and sim card. Then they will do their thing and tell you to put back in the sim card and battery and turn the phone back on. It should work after that.
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

This Galaxy Note is my first Android device ever. I have rooted it and was downloading some apps. Basically following a post of the most important apps to have once rooted. I downloaded Juice Defender and enabled it inside the app on the recommended setting for new users. All the other apps downloaded I have not messed with anything that would alter any part of the phone itself. I wanted to start at a better battery. Now when I leave home and do not have a wifi connection my phone says that the data network is disconnected. I tried to disable JD which did not fix the issure, and then I uninstalled it and rebooted. Still same problem. I'm so new to this I don't know what you might need to know to help me get my old data values back in place from what JD altered. So Please help me get my now useless phone back up and running. Also, please be patient with me and what I'm sure are stupid questions regarding this issue. I'm just trying to learn here.
Thanks,
Open Settings -> Wireless and Network -> Mobile Networks.
Check to make sure 'Use packet data' is on.
If so, open 'Access Point Names', AT&T PTA should be selected.
Make sure that you contact AT&T and have your phone set on their network. It is an LTE phone and it needs a specific data package.

That is exactly why I aborted Juice Defender. Try Greenpower, https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsIm9yZy5ncG8uZ3JlZW5wb3dlciJd.
I was having problems with JD as well. My data icons and bars would show but I would have no cellular data. I uninstalled and everything worked fine after. It's weird because I had no cellular data problems with JD on my Inspire.
Anyways I find that you don't really need JD if you're using an app like setcpu or system tuner which puts the phone into deep sleep when not in use.
u can try all those there good tools..check data enable if its on and still no connection .pull sim out and power on without it....turn phone off put sim back in power on to trick the system..reboot ..and see if that works..just make sure u have data enabled first and data on.....before doing this...hope it helps

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.
Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
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...
