Stock 2.2 wifi calling problems - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So my wifi calling on a stock 2.2 vibrant, upgraded with kies mini, was working yesterday and now all of a sudden it says some error or tmobile network but I get full bars near a window, and in settings and the notification bar it says t-mobile network and also says my data is 2g. I dont know what went wrong but I kinda liked wifi calling and want it back, if possible without reflashing my phone. I tried erasing user data cash factory reset all that good stuff and even ran it from the start but nothing. Help would be appreciated greatly and thanks to anyone who does.

Help please with data connection issues

I have a rooted vibrant running stock Tom with the j16 update and my 3g works intermittently at best. Is there any fix I can do myself?? Its understandable if I were in a cave but I'm getting full bars and my signal strength is -89 dbm 12 Asus. Please please anyone. I'm almost to the point where I'm about to call T-Mobile and see if they can switch me out a different phone. I hate the idea of paying for the web and nit being able to use it. BTW, if I pull my battery off and restart the data connection will work for about 10 mibs

I'm interested to see the answer/suggestions as well, I've been having the same issue.
It will work then not, a restart or going into flight mode and back will get it working for awhile. It does it over Wi-Fi too..(Sound familiar?)........... It's done it stock, rooted with OCLF, with ji6 and now even with Bionix 1.9
Yeah I mean my wifi works all the time but now even when I do the airplane mode it doesn't bring back my 3g data connection. Its driving me bat **** tho. How about u?

How good it the 3G coverage in your area?
Try a market app called Map Viewer. At home I'm out of 3G coverage.
OK I will try to download it and let you know

Do a factory data reset.

well I found out from the map that my 3g coverage system work is supposedly non existence. Go figure. So I'm basically getting snippets of it. If I do a factory reset I will lose all my info right? And when you say reset do u mean using Odin and flashing stock 2.1?

Do it from the phone settings, privacy. Yes, u will loose all yr apps, but save them using appsaver from android market first. Your new rom update will still be there. Hope this helps. Thats what I did to correct my 3g issue, just like what you described.

just throwing this idea out there. tmobile could be doing tower work in your area. i experienced this for awhile where data was just iffy and wasnt very reliable. this may happen on and off for a few days.

GSB v2.1 | GingerBread 2.3.3 issues with 3G??

Can't quite post in the DEV section, I'm wondering if anybody is experiencing issues with this ROM and Cricket?
Everything works great, then I make a call and I lose 3g, the market tells me no network connection, so it's not an APN issue. I disable and enable the mobile internet and it's back until the next phone call. I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else yet.
Some things to try;
Wipe dalvik
Run fix_permissions
Update prl
Set mobile data to national roaming.

Just did all that, still having the issue.
Tried tethering with Gingerbread, after 40mb I lost 3g again
Seems to be happening after extensive data usage as well. Also let Maps run for a while, I checked on the phone and it lost data connection as well. Going to try logcat, see what happens.
I used to have the same issue in 2.1 stock, I had to get a replacement through VZ as a warranty issue.

It never really had this issue though. As a final resort I'm going to wipe it completely (including SD card) and try again with the ROM. I really like Gingerbread features but can't live with this issue.

How did you warranty exchange based on tethering not working when the only official way of tethering with Verizon is by paying for the ability with an officially sanctioned tethering device?
I was referring to losing 3g and mobile coverage, I wasn't tethering, but his issue sounded similar. It actually happened most to me after a phone call or text message.

Wifi issues

Hey. Got an AT&T ATRIX 4G phone with Nottachtrix4G Rom. Long story short my Wifi doesn't seem to work anymore. I know my router is fine because I use my laptop everyday. I tried removing and re-adding the network. I also went into recovery and deleted the cache and stuff. The network connects fine, and gets an IP but I can't load anything like facebook, browser, radio, etc. Any suggestions besides full wipe? Thanks
PS: im a network / computer tech for my job, so im not a noob and know for a fact its not my network.

do you have MAC filter on your router?
Nope.
I will also add it worked fine a week ago. Then it just stopped working.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
you can try with another browser, or try to clean app data. Or just make new connection
Issue had to do with my router and wireless access point. Rebooted both and no issues since.

Data connection issues (ATT)

I've noticed lately I'll be able to connect to data one minute and the next I don't.. even though I have full bars and the 4G icon is spewing its orange lines... only thing that fixes this is a reboot, then magically I have connection again.
I'm running stock 11c... anyone else have this issue?
My wife had the same problem a couple days ago. Our rom is stock 10o. At least this phone boots a lot faster than my old atrix.

I've experienced that as well. I'm currently using the ported stock Jelly Bean Rom and I have the 4GLTE symbol with the orange bars but when I try to load a YouTube video, it'll keep loading without showing the video. But when I reboot, it'll start it, but then when I want to watch another, it will just keep loading. I can still load up the Internet and the xda app but I can't watch videos.
Edit: So it's not that it won't load videos, it just takes a long time. I believe it's just not receiving LTE like is has before.

You may have tried this, since you mentioned the only thing that fixes the data connection is a reboot, but have you tried putting the phone in airplane mode and back again? That works for me when mine is stubbornly showing there's a data connection where nothing is happening.

I have done the airplane trick and that temporarily fixed my issues when I was on the stock rom. I also went in and got a new sim which seemed to help. I haven't noticed it as much since the new sim.

I've tried turning data on and off but that doesn't seem to work... haven't tried airplane mode yet.
I'm on 10o and I'm having the same issue with data. It is the radio because I've had this issue with other phones in the past and with them I had to flash different radios for a fix. Hopefully it will be fixed when they release the official JB for us Att users.

Weird huh? I'm going to try the new v2 of the rom and see if that might help. Fingers crossed.

I've got the same problem as well. Often times when I am in an area with full bars and I get the 4G LTE symbol, I get no data at all.
I'll chime in and say I have the same problem as well. It affects me both on WiFi and on HSPSA. I can only describe it as incredibly annoying.

Wi-Fi error Photon 4G

I am sure I have some kind of software issue that is embedded into the os somewhere. I have tried multiple factory wipes and the Wi-Fi will work for a few minutes then go to error when running on. I have a rooted photon running 2.3.5. Is it possible I can copy my wife's factory non-rooted photon recovery files to mine? Or can I run a custom recovery to fix whatever conflict I seem to be having?

If this is just happening at home try resetting your router.
It's happened to me and that fixed it.

Its not a router issue. I'm not as tech savvy as I was 15 years ago but I'm not a total dummy. When turning “On" Wi-Fi it shows error, it will not enable the radio. I've searched the forums and Google tried the FUMO.apk fix for the botched update. Tried numerous Wi-Fi fixers but they seem to only "fix" connection issues rather than radio issues. I upgraded to this phone so I don't mind flashing anything that may work on the photon. Just hoping to get pointed in the right direction.

Depending on your phone one of these posts might help.
2.3.5 locked is tricky.

My wifi doesn't work either - it just says Wi-Fi: error. I'm on MOFv2.0ish, not in the US, and I expected these problems to be taken care of either in the OTA or in the rooted ROM.
Can anyone recommend a way to get back to 2.3.4, keeping the unlocked bootloader and bypassing Sprint activation? I don't think it would be a good idea to install the bone-stock OS since it may want to do a Sprint activation on first boot.
I've also tried CM10.1 and the GSM didn't work. Any recommendations would be appreciated. If only the wifi worked this ROM would be great.
