Does the issue that requires you to toggle airplane mode on/off on MTD ROMs still exist?
My SD card got booshed a while back, but I now have a class 4 card so I'm considering getting back into MTD ROMs. The only other thing that bothered the hell out of me was this data error.
Thanks
Yes. Just did it. But it's not too bad. I actually had to reboot my phone to get it to work

If you happen to use wifi alot (turn off mobile data before turning wifi on) and vice versa. The wifi to data handoff isn't perfect yet. Also after you get on rom and flash modem (ec09 has been great for me on mtd) if you have the capabilitys of doing an esn swap (activating another vzw smartphone on your number and then reactivating fascinate) do that as well. But on pool party and using those tips lead to no data dropout for me.
good day.

It really also depends on the phone as well. Mine dropped pretty consistently at work, just like my bionic does now.

I dont experience any data drops...the only issue is sometimes I have to toggle wifi off/on after a reboot, same goes for gps.

Okay. So I have a Rooted Thunderbolt, running 2.2.1 (can you even update at all rooted?), and I'm running Superpower. At least once to twice a day, I have to turn radio off completely or reboot to get data back on. Superpower disables data, and then when I check, it just says powering on, and it never does.
Is there a fix?
This is getting rather annoying. I'm not gonna leave data on all the time because as we know the battery life is less than a Macbook.
Try switching airplane mode on and off. When ever mine drops it always work.

That's how I usually do it. But isn't there a way to prevent this issue? Not just bandage it.

Same issue on my TB, and the only way I know how to fix is to enable then disable airplane mode. Quite annoying.
I hate when people log on just to post "I hate this phone!", so I want o make it clear that I like this phone overall, but the main benefit of 4G data is definitely diminished by the fact that I frequently have to manually disable/enable the radio for data to work at all when I am not in wifi area.
Any suggestions?

Too bad our batteries die in 4 hours if left on 4g :-D. Why can't they just make a 3600mAh stock battery?
Lol, on the topic of the data. Its definitely annoying. Though I had Data Switch installed, and after uninstalling, it doesn't fail to enable as much. Who knows. Brilliant QC.
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

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...
As it says in the post, my Photon's 3G and Wifi stay on simultaneously. There is no handshake being done to settle which one is supplying the current stream of data and I can't figure it out. Sometimes the only way to settle things to get it to work right is to either turn off Wifi to let it settle to 3G, or turn off mobile data to let it settle to Wifi. I get between 2 and 4 bars here.
I've tried doing a factory restore, wiping internal and application storage... but when I got back to the home screen, all my settings were still the same including the desktop background, ringtones and a few other settings. The applications obviously were gone.
I then tried SBFing to 154_5 but I could see the icons doing it again before I even tried to activate. I had planned to let it just update to 198_6 OTA and hopefully fix the problem in the process, but I just came from that so I don't see it fixing it this time.
I'm in the process of SBF'ing 198_7 since I hear it has a 'data fix'.
Anyone have similar issues or resolve?
I once had a problem where 3G turned off when my wifi came up, then never came back on. I had to factory restore it. As for your hand off issue, I've never had that particular case happen. If you're going to stay stock I'd definitely try 198_7. Why not play with CM7 thought? I've been waiting for it to stabilize a bit, finally jumped in with the 1/26/12 build and it has been working awesome for me.

I can't find a raw CM7 build. The only ones I'm finding are people's weird ROM's of it...
In all actuality you shouldn't have to touch anything. I personally leave 4G and wifi on all the time. If the phone can't get a WiMAX signal then it automatically switches to 3G or roaming. The photon automatically switches between 3G and 4G as necessary.

i have seen this many times on my mopho. also when im on stock and try to turn on wifi its say error and stays like that unless i reboot about 4 times
Fix for Wifi
Sorry to ask about this, but is there a fix for the wifi connection for unlocked photon? I've been looking for hours and I'm coming from the nexus s 4g so I've had it easy. I'm on cm 7.2 and needs some sleep. Thanks for tolerating my noobness.
