Hey, everyone. Using your AMAZING n00b guide and overall lurking of this website for several months since January I've done quite a few awesome things with this phone. Currently I am running Cyanogen Mod 7.1.0-Ba2tF-Olympus (any further information how I got there can be provided if necessary). I'm having a slight issue though. I've noticed that sometimes I'll randomly have no data or cellular service what-so-ever. To gain access to data and cellular service at that point I will then have to restart the phone, wait for it to boot, turn on WiFi, wait for that to connect, use an application like Browser or Facebook to test connectivity, if data transmits then I'm good, then AND ONLY after I go through all that can I disable WiFi and connect through regular data and cellular channels. I was wondering if this has happened to any of you and if anyone had any idea on how to fix it?
If you need clarification I'd be more than happy to try and sort my explanation out for you.
Thank you all in advance and I hope to hear from you soon!
Hello,
Did your APN settings are good ?
You can found it there : Setting / networks / Mobile Networks / Access Point Name.
Where are you from, what is your carrier ?
Regards.
I am thinking you need to flash a new radio.

First, let me say I searched threads and forums looking for someone who had same problem and could not find any posting similar. The only one I found that similar was about the APN. I created a new APN using the settings I found in that thread, but it has not helped at all.
Got a pop-up/update message on phone yesterday about upgrading to ICS. I was running a stock HTC Amaze - not rooted - on Simple Mobile, and it was working great.
Upgraded phone to ICS OTA and love the new interface but having two problems, even after setting up the phone to run on the Simple network.
1. Phone is slow and will only run/display 2G whereas it used to be fast and say 4G.
2. Wifi tethering seems to be gone as it will not allow a tethered device to go to the page requested. (I have found threads about how to address this issue, so it is not a big concern like to 2g/4g speed issue.)
3. My android smiles are gone now......all I have are normal smiles. :-(
Any suggestions on what to do would be GREATLY appreciated.....
under mobile network settings, set your network mode to wcdma only.
I don't know much about the tethering issue, been on custom roms for a while, but apparently its a paid feature now. unlock your phone and install a custom rom, and you wont have that issue anymore
Could be a bad flash, though it doesn't really sound so, just sounds like they restricted a few things on other networks.
Fixed and working great....thanks sent to both who posted replies!!!!
Glad to see you got it fixed. If you don't get MMS, make sure you change your APN to the Simple Mobile APN. T-Mobile and Simple Mobile has slightly different APN settings.
XDA, you really are my last hope.
I use my phone as my primary internet device. Tethering works fine for 15 mins and then one of two things happens:
1) Computer doesn't load webpages (stuck on looking up....). Have to turn my computer's wifi off and on again.
2) Tethering is still 'on' but the hotspot vanishes (have tested this on more than one computer) have to turn wifi off and on again.
Problem number two is by far the most frustrating but both are seriously annoying as I cannot play online games or download files and my girlfriend work is constantly interrupted.
I have tried:
1) using FoxFi - Works but same issues as native tethering software.
2) Rooting and using barnacle, wifi tether, OpenGarden WiFi (get 'could not set ad-hoc mode of wlan0: op. not supported on transport endpoint.)
3) Turning off fast dormancy (no difference).
4) Setting Wi-Fi to always on.
5) Turning off Wifi Power save mode.
6) Searching google, asking reddit, searching XDA, crying.
If you can fix this once and for all, I'll send you $10 over paypal (if that's not against the XDA T&Cs). I'm a poor student, but I am THAT desperate.
Many thanks.

Tell me if you need more information.
And I will press that thanks button, you have my word!
Last one.
I don't have a solution for you, but I can share my experiences regarding the same problem you are having. I also tether a lot and for that, this phone has been awful thus far. I have pretty much given up on wifi tethering for now and am tethering using bluetooth since that seems to be working MUCH better for me. So do give bluetooth tethering a try too if it's possible for you.
I get random drop outs in my mobile data connection - this happens all the time, also when I'm not tethering. I have been trying out different modems to help with this, and now I have found a modem that works pretty well for me. I'm using XXDLIB firmware (Jelly Bean) and have found that the modem that works best for me is XXDLI4.
Maybe through additional testing of different modems I would be able to find one that works even better, but I've been doing this for a long time now and getting pretty tired of it!
Wifi tethering for me on DLI4 modem is now OK - not great, not even good - just OK. It feels much slower than bluetooth tethering and is still unreliable so I go with bluetooth for now.
Sorry if this wasn't helpful at all... :angel:
As a newbie I am at a loss as to how i can resolve a number of issues i have with my flyer so please be gentle .....
My flyer says.it has
Android 3.2.1
HTC Sense 1.1 for tablet
Software Number 3.55.405.1
Kernel 2.6.35.10 Baseband 20.4801.30.0822u_3822.10.08.07_m Build 3.55.405.1 cl205068 releasekeys Browser WebKit 534.13
What I know.....
1. GPS never works, it is always 'searching' but never finds
2. WiFi works OK
3. Mobile HSDPA says Signal strength -75 dBm 18asu at the moment and I do not have a Wifi connection available so i was expecting all my connections would route through mobile connection (as i enabled 'Always on mobile data') but nothing that requires a connection is working ?!
4. I recently accepted an auto update for the OS and now I do not have the Icon target for the Pen even when i use the Pen tutorial !!
I have read the HTC user guide for the Flyer but it does not even come close to explaining how the connectivity works and all i want to be able to do is maintain a connection thru either wifi or GSM at all times yet is seems that even though i have a working SIM in the device (which has credit and says it is connecting) it never works when i don't have wifi. There is also no 'connection overview' page that i can find that tells me what connections are working on my flyer (GPS,wifi,GSM etc) and what strength signal they have !!!!
All advice, help or pointers gladly accepted at this point for any of the above queries
thnx
I am not sure if there is a solution short of gaining s off or HTC dev unlock or rolling back to gingerbread
Flyer
Thnx for the reply
Is how to do any of that detailed in this forum anywhere plz?
If you want to downgrade there is this

I think either way you will want to gain s off so that you can freely flash roms and hopefully solve your problem. There is risk though.
So if I understand you correctly you have no WiFi and very weak data connection? Has it always been this way?
Flyer
Don't know how to 's off' ? Is that a setting on the Flyer somewhere?
I am sorry I was not specific enough. What I should have said was that the Flyer functions fine on a Wifi connexion as far as i have seen but when there is no Wifi connexion available then i expect it to use the SIM card data connexion (GSM). I had set this option on the flyer under 'Wireless & networks \ Mobile Network Settings
I also do not appear to have anyway to see what connexions are in use for any of the apps or what signal strength is currently available for 'active' connexions
Can you not just go under settings then check wireless and networks? And what was the bit about the pen?
S off is not a setting you just click off, it is the process of unsecuring your bootloader which I do not suggest for you.
Have these problems always been there or are they new? Did you just get the flyer?
Flyer
In the settings that i have it only says 'Turn On' wifi and 'notify when open network is available' but it gives me no idea of the signal strength of any network (wifi or GSM or even GPS)i am connected to so i never know when i am switching betwen wifi or GSM or even which i am using for any app (IE, Weather, SKYPE, etc)
The pen icon was appearing when i first got the flyer but now it does not appear anywhere at any time in any app!! funny thing is it actually works when i use the tutorial up to the point where the tutorial tells you to tap on the pen config icon ... it is not visible !! I think the pen got trashed when i accepted the last update from HTC
GPS never works regardless and i was under the impression that GPS does not need either wifi or GSM to function!!
Yes, i just got the flyer a week ago
This will be a stupid question but you have an active sim in and you are sure it is a 3g model? I would first suggest running the hc ruu for your device which I know you do not know what that means and it may be hard to find
Flyer
Regarding cell network connectivity: If the Flyer was purchased for anyone but your cell carrier, you probably need to manually enter the APN info for your carrier. This is a common mistake by people who buy unlocked phones, etc. from 3rd party sources. Its easily fixed, and much easier than S-Off, RUU, etc. (which won't fix your problem anyway, if its simply caused by missing APN). You can get your carrier's APN info often by just Googling for it, or just call your carrier and ask for it.
You should find the APN info in Settings>Mobile network, or something like that (I have the WiFI-only Flyer, and its also not with me, at the monent).
The missing pen icon is odd. Does the pen do anything if you touch the screen? Make sure the pen still has battery, and try taking the battery out and re-inserting it. Factory reset may also help.
Did not think of the apn angle
Hey, so I have a Samsung Galaxy S running CyanogenMod 9.
I want to test if my 3g is actually working or not. I used to use the 3G internet on the phone until I changed plan without mobile internet and now I've changed back. The problem is there is no 3G connection now.
I've been onto my network's forums and followed their instructions for setting up APN's etc. and the settings are perfect (even though I never changed them since the last time it worked)
So my question is that is there some way to test if your 3G hardware is actually functioning?
Bump. Does anyone know anything to test if your 3G h/w is working?
Bump. Anyone?
Hello guys,
I have a problem with my OnePlus X and LineAgeOS 14.1. It's basically like this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/help/mobile-data-wifi-disconnect-t-mobile-t3357980
When I change my OPX from Airplane mode back to normal or when the connection switches from WiFi to mobile connection I loose my connection from time to time. But not on every switch.
The only way (so far) to fix this, is to reboot my phone. I face this issue for about 1.5 years and it's even my second OPX since I lost my first one. After I switched my network provider the issue got even worse.
In the status bar i only see gsm connection without mobile connection.
The odd thing is, that when I pull down the drop down menu I see mobile data connection.
I think this issue is kinda old and everybody fixed it somehow except me. Have I forgotten anything when flashing LOS or did I miss anything else? I appreciate any kind of help.
I tried to reset my Network Settings via "Settings App -> Wireless & Networks -> More -> Network settings Reset" but it did not help.
I'm on a mostly current LineAgeOS build with the lastest radio/baseband (0.1.c1.11-00006-M8974AAAAANAZM-1)
If you need any info from me just ask. I'm pretty familiar with linux and know how to use adb and stuff.
I would provide logs but it's not easy to reproduce this error.
