Just Saturday, my data be it 3g or WiFi was fine, running smooth, I was gettin 10+ Mbps down and 1.15ish up on wifi/4-5Mbps down and .8-.9 up on 3g. I was on Bionix 1.3.1 and figured maybe it was just something I had done on accident, so I flash Trigger 2.8 (First Non-TW Rom) and I like it, but the problem is still there. I go back to JFD after formatting sdcard, system, and data thinking this would surely fix whatever was going on.
The problem is if I turn my data off and back on, it will be ok, long enough to open a page or do a speed test. After that, on 3g if im able to even tether to my pc, its barely over .3-.4Mb down and it literally says "upload speed- LOL" and when im on wifi, I get 10-11Mb down and 1ish up and on my phone its like its capped around 5Mb down.
I dont think theres any reason for me to be "capped" or cut off or whatever. I have unlimited everything, I just checked and my billing cycle is up in 3 days and Ive used 535Mb, which I probably use alot more, but Im always on WiFi for the most part. Also, 0 downloads, because I dont download stuff on my phone directly, for whatever reason...gives me something to do I guess, lol. I also had every 2/2 flashable modem there and tried them all, along with the KB1 and KB7 stock+voodoo kernels, and the tigers blood 2.2 and overstock 1.5.
Lastly, I seen the thread about changing DNS servers, and Ive changed to both and back to normal and tried with both WiFi/3g and its like theres a invisible anti-data pro-signal/herpes thing around my phone that, clearly from the name is anti data and gives any signal dataherpes, and if someone gave me herpes, I probably wouldnt come back. Hence, whats going on here.
Really though, any help would be appreciated, greatly.
Also, just realized the way I worded it might seem to some people like Im blaming it on the ROM, and Im definitely not blaming it on anyone or anything, because chances are, its probably something I did. lol
Another thing I should mention, is when it is connected to any data like 3g, it constantly flip flops between '3G' and 'H'
Try flashing the KB1 or KA6 modem see if that resolves. If it does not then it could be just a quirk from the flash and reflash. Also, the 3G to H doesn't matter it is just an icon switching that just says that it recognizes a tower that sending that signal, the modem on the phone will still only receive 3g
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?

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".

Phone - Galaxy s2 i777, about 18 months old, running the factory ICS update
Ok, so I was initially having problems with my phone rapidly losing charge - Shutting down at 70% booting up at 40%, I assumed it was shutting down because it was over heating due to a large amount of power being discharged at once. I lived with that for a while, I assumed a new battery might fix it.
Next, before I got a new battery, my power button stopped working, so the only way I could unlock my screen was to get a message, or plug the phone in.
Now, I've installed ShoStock3 v2.5.1, (started out installing a kernel by Jeboo) then switched to Siyah v7.9
The power button issue came back after a short amount of time with the jeboo kernel, but seems to be fixed with the Siyah kernel (I'm not sure if that is just a timing/coincidence thing or not, but I thought it was worth mentioning)
My real issue now is that I have almost no service, I get anywhere from a "no service available triangle" to a 3G or H+ symbol with no bars shown. Every now and then I get a few bars, receive a few messages, and then the bars go away.
I assumed it was the modem since ShoStock3 says it flashed the modem during the installation dialog, I've tried using:
UCKJ4
UCLE5
UCLK3
and UCPLC5
so far, and nothing has worked. Maybe I'm just a noob and using the wrong modems, maybe it's a hardware issue, no idea.... so please help me out, I've been searching the forums for a couple of days to fix my problems, you guys have been great so far.
Also, I'm from around Baltimore Maryland in the US if that helps narrow down what modem I should be using.

Modem won't affect service. Are you sure you aren't in a dead zone? Also the battery thing is normal for our phone if it reboots
Nope, not in a dead zone. The issue just started recently, before I had plenty of service. WiFi works, but both my cell service and my GPS won't, which I thought indicated modem... any other ideas?
Thanks for the reply.

Try going back to stock gb?
Okay, so I'm still on shotock3 with the siyah kernel and the I777UCLE5 modem. I changed my APN settings around to match what I found in this thread:
Http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2021401
It seems better than it was, but still not working properly. The connection comes and goes, when I get a connection speed test is showing about:
120ms ping
3.8Mbps DL
.4Mbps UL
But most of the time speed test won't even connect to a server.
Anyone have any idea what could be causing my phone to have service sporadically?
Maybe they're doing service in your area or having issues. Also meteorological events like solar flares and things can wreak havoc on service. May not be you.

Is my problem just some ridiculously easy thing that everyone knows so no one wants to help a noob? Or am I just getting bs answers because you don't it? "Modems don't effect signal", "are you in a deadzone?", "solar flares have been known to mess things up"
Can I give more information to help out? I'm not a noob to forums, I'm a noob to this forum, I've searched, I've read stickies, I just can't find a solution (my searching is probably not as fruitful as an experienced user's)
I haven't tried going back to gb yet, but I will tonight after work if you think that could help. I ran ics for months with no problems though, so I don't feel like that caused the problem (granted I'm on jb now, but still).
I know you guys are the ones helping me, so complaining about bs answers isn't all that smart. But answers about solar flares make it harder for other noobs to search for this problem and avoid posting.
...Did u think I was being a smartass? If so, u may want to learn more about the world we live in. Because everything I said as well as all the answers you got were completely legitimate and none were BS as you called it.

Don't come to these forums looking for help. Then blast the people who are giving you sound advice. I have been running the same rom you posted since release. I too flashed UCLE5 because I haven't had as much luck with the standard modem Sho uses, and have great signal since flashing UCLE5. No issues here. Could be any of the number of suggestions mentioned in this thread. I would suggest you take some of the above advice, and maybe thank some of the people who gave it to you rather than being an ingrate. When you flash a modem run it for a day or so and let it settle in as well. Don't just flash it, run a speed test, and then flash another. Sometimes after flashing it seems it takes my radio's a day or so to even out.

The "service in your area" part is EXTREMELY legit; used to happen to me all the time.
Not entirely wise to criticize those trying to help you.
My problem has been going on for 3 days, both at work and at home, roughly 50 miles apart, and no one else around me has been having any problems. Also, no GPS signal... therefore I think I can eliminate both service in the area, and astrological events.
I think step one before anyone goes to the internet to ask for help from strangers, is to find someone close by and say "hey, do you have at&t? Are you having any phone problems?"

I honestly assumed he was just being a smart ass, I know I'm the one asking for help here so I'm not trying to be an ingrate. The service thing is a fairly easy thing to check though, i can't imagine someone wouldn't check that first. The solar flare thing is funny.... but not really helpful...
I didn't realize that I needed to let the modem settle in first... being a noob, I didn't even consider that. it's been about a day, with noticable improvement from when I first flashed it, but still not what I would call functionable.
the only two suggestions on the problem in this thread were trouble with the service in the area, and solar flares, I was only trying to rule those out. The suggestion on a solution, was reinstall gb. I was initially planning on doing that after work today, but now I think I'll wait for the modem to settle in longer.
Any other suggestions on what the problem could be would be helpful. Again, I wasn't trying to be ungrateful, just trying to point out that i didn't think those were legitimate suggestions on my problem. My apologies... I have used xda posts for past problems, and am immensly grateful to have a community like this around. I have been trying to obey the "suggestions for noobs" "search before you post" etc...
Are you under warranty? You may be having a hardware failure since it is affecting your radio signal and gps.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
No warranty, the phone is 18 months old, I haven't ruled out hardware failure. That was actually my initial guess, but then a new modem and time seem to help slightly...
I was under the impression that the gps antenna and the cellular antenna (and the speaker) were on the same piece of hardware, and both the GPS and the radio were controlled by the modem. That could be way off though.
Not sure what modem you are useing now, but you did say with ics you were fine and I am pretty sure the UCLE5 modem was the one that came with my 4.0.3 update. It seems to work best for me. If that is the one you are currently running let it settle a bit. I have also seen some people in other phone forums here complaining of throttling of late as well. Just a thought.
Throttling would be slow speeds though right? Not the lack of ability to even send a text.
When I do have service, my DL speeds have been around 4Mbps, which I think is decent.
My problem is more like the signal fading in and out, it almost seems like when I have a good signal then try to use anything that requires data, the signal disappears, would that be throttling?
No.
His issue sounds like a hardware failure. My I777 recently started having the same problem; I tried everything from flashing different modems, returning to GB, even disassembled the phone and swapped the part that controls the signal reception from my wife's to test.. everything I tried was a no go. I eventually figured out after some intense searching that the motherboard was failing, so I decided to just get another phone. Right now my three year old son uses it to play games and stuff. I'm not saying that yours is the exact same issue, but as Red_81 suggested it may be a general hardware failure. What you need to figure out is whether this is exactly so and what is the root cause, then determine if you want to replace the failed part or just get another device. They're pretty cheap on Ebay. Hope some of this helps point you to find a solution.
