Hey so I bought a DROID3 off ebay, Unlocked ofcourse.
Its a great phone except for a few things such as no good roms and mainly that I can't get my mobile data to get working, i can call and text people Ok I think, also when I connect to my home wifi it has no connection. I think that might be a setting on the router but im not sure.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I bought a G2 before I got this phone and everything worked fine.
thanks!
I have the same issue, i can text and phone no problem. Wifi connections work great but my phone doesn't even see data over the network.
Im on mts in manitoba Canada.
Any ideas?

I've been having this problem for about 2 weeks now. First I was using Radio 1.50 on the AT&T network in South Jersey and out of the blue when the connection would go from 3g to edge I could no longer connect to the internet, receive emails or anything, voice was fine. When I would get back into 3g range everything would work again. So I upgraded to radio 1.54.07 and at first everything was fine no problems what so ever. But after 5 days this radio does the same thing, I cannot do browse the web or get my email if i go from 3g to edge but everything works fine once it is in 3g range. Anybody have similar problems or know how to fix them?
Just to clarify things, when it switches from 3G to Edge my phone still shows that there is a data connection but for example if i try and look up something in Opera it says looking up host and then times out. Any program trying to use the data connection times out, which is weird since I never had any problems til about a month ago. I've tried soft reseting and still all it will find and connect to the gprs signal but all my connections time out if i try to look anything up
I have the same misterious problem. Did anybody - especially jc67 - already found a solution for that?
I need help with a problem and have first searched but didnt find the answer.My wifes Droid Eris WiFi just quit working all of a sudden.She was on wifi updating her facebook and it just quit working.I am able to hook to wifi on my Droid1 and my laptop can also hook to our wifi but she cant.
I have tried everything even flashing a new ROM to it and nothing works.Iam at a loss.I can flash a ROM and a few other minor things but I am not technologically savy.Can anyone please help?I am catching pure H.E.double hockey sticks and Im desperate here.Thanks in advance.
if she's on Verizon she should have a data plan, so turning off wifi and letting the network data take over would be a quick fix.
Thank you

We dont have unlimited data plans and thats why we use wifi for the majority of our internet usage.Ive tried just about everything I can think of and nothing works.

try restarting the phone, turning wifi on and off, making sure the wireless network is joined correctly (password, etc)

Woot!!! Glad you got it solved, mate.
Hi,
I'm new to the forum so apologise in advance if this is a stupid question.
I recently bought a Sim Free S3. I haven't rooted it as i'm quite happy with the stock os for now. Everything had been working very smoothly on it. But since getting the over the air update for it my data signal randomly drops out or freezes. It seems to do it over WiFi too. It does this even though it shows a wifi connection or with the H+ visible. I've also noticed it cycle through H+ to 3G and back again.
Sometimes the signal works again on it's own and other times i have to switch the phone off and on aain.
I find it happens on tweakdeck the most but has also happened whilst browsing the net.
Do you think this could be linked to the update or could this just be a coincidence and there's an underlying hardware fault.
Let the new update run for a little bit...let it settle in
It might just be the spot u in and I doubt its the phone
Might be uodate but how long u been on the update?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Think the update came through on Tuesday.
Will give it a few more days to settle and see how it goes.
Thanks.
Still having an issue with this.
My internet worked all weekend then today started to fail on me again today.
The phone shows a HSPA connection but will not download any data.
I know it's not the network as my wife is on the same network and is having no issues.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Same problem
I am having the same problem here. I just bought SGS3 about 3 days ago and I started noticing data drop out yesterday. I wish someone could help me. I was hoping the problem to be solved by the time we get firmware update.
BTW, I am also having problem using usb tethering or wifi hotspot. After using usb tethering for about 10 minutes, it stops connecting although the phone still has data connection.
Is it hardware or software problem???
Thanks!!!
having the same issue after power saving goes on i lose h+ until god knows when
Hey guys,
I recently bought a Refurbished unlocked SM-G900T to use with my AT&T service. I chose the T-Mobile variant because of the faster android updates and unlocked bootloader. So far, It's been working great, no problems at all with voice, data, etc. The first thing I did when I got it was install the rooted stock OF6 rom Muniz_ri posted, then ran the "extreme debloat" script. Well, I tried to use tethering and it's acting really funny. I can enable tethering fine, and it works for about 1 minute, then it stops working. The connected devices drop to 1mbps connection strength (from the usual 130+mbps wireless N speeds) and have zero network connectivity. I tried the Tethering mod also posted on the rooted OF6 page, but it still does the same thing. PDANet+ also does the same thing. Anybody know what's going on? Wi-Fi works fine on the phone as a client.
Ok, so this only seems to happen when I connect a laptop which has an intel Wi-Fi chip in it. When I connect my iPad to it, it works perfectly.
Alright, the fix was to go into the device manager on the laptop and set the wireless card to Wireless G-only. The issue seems to be resolved by doing this.
Hey guys,
I'm currently having problems with my mobile data. I was running stock 4.3 and flashed to CM 13 (I did a backup of course). My mobile data was working fine at that moment.
Since my the front glass was broken but the LCD was intact, I decided to send in the S3 for repair to a shop that fixes the glass but does not touch the LCD. I got the device back two weeks later and everything was good.
The problem started happening, when I put in my SIM card, I noticed, that 3G or H is not working at all (or very slow). Pages took a minute to just load the HTML. I thought that it was probably an issue with CM 13 or APNs and updated to the newest nightly. Still, not working there. I tried calling the phone and sending SMS and everything worked.
I then decided to go back to my backup of Stock because maybe CM13 was bugged. But now the 3G is not even working on my backup of stock. Regular G works, but is too slow to use. When I switch to 3G the connection is too slow and acts strange by switching to G or just losing the connection entirely.
I checked my APN and that didn't help.
Could that been cause by the repair? Maybe broken the antenna or something? But isn't it inside of the phone and shouldn't be touched by a front glass repair?
It's not an EFS problem I think, since I still have my IMEI and calling works, internet on G works as well but not on 3G.
If it's the antenna, how hard is it to repair?
Thanks for trying to help me!
This happened to me,
Internet will only work on
E, G, H, and H+
Internet will not work on
3G
Ask your carrier if they use Fast Dormancy, I turned off Fast Formancy and it's fine
Edit: do research if you wanna know more about Fast Dormancy
Thanks for the help, but unfortunately that doesn't work either.
I've witness another strange phenomenon where the mobile data is working a few meter away from my house but not near it. The strange thing is, it used to work and also works on other smartphones with the same carrier.
Aliens.. No seriously.. If you can get Hspda then there's nothing wrong. Your device has determined that the signal isn't strong enough to lock on so it chooses a stronger signal.
