I have a very apparent problem on my phone similar to the Iphone 4 problem but only with Wi-Fi. It's very minor compared to Iphone 4's recent problem (which was fix not too long ago..). While holding the phone in landscape mode and having your left (or right) hand on top the phone reduces the frequency of Wi-Fi and utterly disconnects. I have this problem in my room because my router is 3 floors down, it isn't the greatest reception but it works. So in summary when Wi-Fi is 1-2 bars, holding you hand atop the phone disconnects or lowers your Wi-Fi reception. This is a piss off... Either someone can fix this, or we need to complain to Sony ****ersson about this problem.
or move your router one floor up...
No, thats not something im going to do, the iPhone got a fix, why cant we?

@zephyrix i agree with you or better buy wifi antenna booster..... solve the problem...
That's not a problem, its simply because you are far away from the router, when it happens to you when you are at closed range, come and talk about it.
and cleary you don't know the real issue the iphone had...

+1 mezo9090.. it's a mobile phone.. the receiver won't be as strong as a PC Wifi receiver.. you could get an booster, or a better router..

I Think I have a WiFi problem as mine fails to turn on constantly. It will only start after I freshly boot it, then it turns off after about 15 minutes and is unable to start again until I power off, and back on.
If I go to the settings menu, wireless controls and tap to turn on WiFi it shows "Turning on..." for roughly 15-20 seconds then says "Unable to start WiFi"
This happened before and after I rooted with R2BA023 Firmware.
Anyone else encounter anything similar?

Hi Reeonimus - I just finished rooting my x10a from Rogers and I can't connect to my wifi at work, it was working before, so now I have to figure this one out.
I will see if I have the same problem at home tonight, will keep you posted
If you were having problems before, maybe your wifi in the phone is the problem
did you connect to wifi when you first received it? before doing anything to it
There is wifi patch for people who rooted the phone. Go back to the same rooting thread and look at the 4th post.

well I tried it last night and it connected perfectly at home.
I'm going to have to figure this one out
home is using WEP-Personal and so is my office.
but at the office it gives me a "Obtaining address" but just stops there.
I have full signal strength, but unsuccessful
It was connecting before the root
Patch file : I just installed it and it didn't fix anything, if anything it actually made it worse I think
What does that WiFi patch do?
And has anyone gotten WPA2 enterprise, or PEAP working? I'll need that for uni...

I barely used the phone before I rooted so I don't know if the problem was there before. The bluetooth also had problems turning on.
However I reset the phone to factory settings and returned it for a new one. Then I realized that resetting it only reset the apps and everything, it was still on the R2BA023 firmware. They took it back and gave me a new one because they didn't notice though.
Rooted the new one and have had no problems since.

Hi guys, I'm an AT&T user on 1.6. I am looking for the wi-fi patch, as my wi-fi drops off with my cellular reception. Will this patch fix this problem? If you can point me to the rght direction, I would appreciate it. Trying to search but it appears search is down for the moment. Thanks
Screw it. I'm ready to jump to 2.1, since AT&T doesn't look like they are going to be rolling this out. Does 2.1 still have this wi-fi issue?
coughee, they have a stock 2.1 out now, just use the search to root it. have you checked for seus updates?? lately?
Is anyone else's totally sucking?? It always says either H, or 3G, but no data goes through. The "upload" arrow will light up, but not the "download" one... I also think it's killing my battery since it's constantly searching for a signal for checking e-mail and stuff? Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem or it's my phone? I'm outside of Chicago....
Same here. Someone I work with has the sgs4g and suffers the same problem.

Same problem down here in dallas tx i only really started noticing this with kb5 modem, i recently switched back to the KA6 modem. The problem is persistent but no where near as bad as it was on KB5
Having same issue here... went to Tmobile and they told me this is not a common problem. But the forums are littered with people having the same problem... found 1 rom that kinda manages it well. Axora

hmmm weird. I didn't really have a problem until a few days ago, but I'm glad to know it's not just me
I think I figured out when the data drops. The phone will lag to the point of inoperability, then the phone for some reason has trouble reconnecting to the tower. the only thing I have found to fix this is a factory data reset. I have been lucky enough to reboot in airplane mode sometimes which helped once or twice. Or to reload a rom. I just dont know how to fix it? I had my phone warranty replaced due to this issue and it still remains on new phone. I am somwhat pissed myself

Happens to me randomly specially when searching in Map app. Phone starts lagging and I have to reboot. After reboot it shows No entry like sign in status bar. Nothing works, I tried rebooting, reinstalling same rom, new rom, new modem. What works is take out battery and reinsert it. Thought I got a bad phone, but now it seems others have this issue too?
Im just south of chicago and I usually have to download my apps 2 or 3 times to actually get them installed. I noticed that after you choose to download and it spits you back out in to the menu. Reclick the app you just installed if there isno statusbar you are not trully downloading it.

I've been having problems with keeping gchat logged in. Constantly drops out and says either I'm not online or the other person is not online. My wife has the same problem with her vibrant.
In addition my GPS has been extra sucky lately, went from being able to lock 8 inside to usually not locking at all. Nothing I've tried has fixed it, but then randomly it'll work just fine. I can't reliably reproduce the problem.

This is the second vibrant that I have had this problem on, So I want to say software, unless I got 2 phones with the same problem. The EDT gps fix makes my gps lovely when I have a data connection. I know that heathen has also made a flashable data fix which would at least stop from having to do a data reset, and reinstalling all apps. Unfortunately the data fix is rom specific and not a universal deal. Anybody with more experience know why many vibrants have this intermittent problem???
Since I unrooted I have had no data drops, but cannot fully unlock the potential of the device, has anyone heard if a way to maintain stable data thru root?
Thanks

I kinda think I got the same thing goin on here. The only time I really notice it is in the market and usually only when doing updates to apps. Can't really say that DLing new apps has an issue tho.
I highly recommend CM7 .....I try every new rom and always come back to it. Just a thought haha

Just tried it (cm7) and data dropped in 24 hrs. I give up, I'm going to switch to a verizon based phone. Ive never had a problem rooting my g1 or mytouch with data. If anyone knows a fix I would be very interested in understanding the problem.
Data worked for a month straight un-rooted !!!!
Thanks
Did you try out different modems at all?
So after rebooting about a week ago on BAMF Remix 1.7 (I think the ROM is irrelevant but just putting it in for information's sake), my 3g/mobile data stopped working. When I go into network settings, the Mobile network option is checked to connect to the internet and under APNs, there is a vzwinternet profile with a green (I'm guessing turned on?) marker.
I've tried various ROMS: BAMF, BAMF Remix, CM7, and even the Gingerbread variations of BAMF as well.
Also I've experimented with all of the radios (every one listed under the obligatory radio thread) and different kernels.
And lastly, I've wiped multiple times every time I've flashed a new ROM and have even formatted my SD card hoping it was some rogue application that disabled it.
So what can I do to bring back 3g/mobile data?
Note: Wifi, calls, and sms will works for me. MMS does not however.
I have the same problem but mine shows after rebooting, than say error when I try browser or anything that has to do with data, But works at times.
*WALK in the WORD*
Mine isn't working at all. Not even after rebooting.

How you checked with your Carrier? I'm with Orange UK and my 3g was down for 4 days once due to cell tower maintenance...
Might be worth a call to check!?

I almost did exactly the same!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
This happened to me, exactly as you've stated. I posted here but got no remedy. I tried all the things you've mentioned, reflashing the ROM, raeflashing the radio, etc. Nothing helped.
Finally, I had the idea to restore a recent backup from before I had the problem. THAT worked. I hope it helps you too.
I didn't have a chance to call during the day but I did head over to my friend's house who lives in a different area. She has VZW just as me and she was getting 3G on her blackberry but 3G/mobile data was still unavailable for me.
It's not a coverage issue but on my end.
While lurking around the mobile data settings, there was a profile for VZW under APN settings. Could someone post theirs so I could see if they match with mine? Maybe that's the solution to my problem?
I don't think it's rom dependent. I lost 4g the other day and I have yet to get it back. I have my own theories but the jerk at the VZW store wouldn't let me try my theory. I'm waiting for my usual rep to comeback, she lets me try just about anything I want. The rest are just dicks. I have tried swapping roms, radios, and all but going back stock to fix it. And nothing has brought it back. BTW, have you tried CDMA prl to see if you can get data at all? I can get 3g that way, but when I go into evdo/lte or lte only I lost all data. Also, do you have it in rev A mode under your modem settings?
I had this exact same problem with BAMF remix 1.6.3, to make this story short this is how it eventually got fixed:
Go into settings and do a check for new software.
This will force 3g to cut on. (Note: it may take a few times for the 3g to come on and STAY ON. It took me almost a day doing it about every hour.
Enjoy
Holy crap, that worked. Of all the things I tried and I couldn't get anything. Now LTE is back. You're awesome.

I have to go to work right now but yes it is turning on 3G at the moment but it's only using the up arrow (eg. uploading data but not downloading data). I"m guessing with a couple of more tries it'll eventually lock in.
If this doesn't work on gingerbread, I'll try reverting back to froyo and try it then as well.

Glad I could help.. I spent nearly two hours on the phone with Tier II support and they guy said.. well this is a long shot but try this. Didnt work the first time I tried it so he sent me a new phone but in the time it took to get the new phone, I kept trying and it finally locked in.
Ok, well I thought it worked. Every time I try it, it will give me the 4gLTE indicator, but if I open up anything that uses data it just says no mobile conectivity then after about 5-6 min it stops showing any data. Also, I can still go back to CDMA(PRL) and get 3g. It's just under 4GLTE/evdo and lte only.
BTW, for any other future reference, I started experiencing these issues right after I debloated (uninstalled) the blockbuster app.

keep trying... it will stick eventually
It's alright, I have a replacement coming tuesday. I just have to return to stock before then.
When you guys went to the software update option, during that duration when it was enabled were both 3G arrows animated? I'm only getting an up arrow (uploading).
I've been trying now for hours on the PRL setting and also cdma+lte/evdo auto
Well, I haven't been able to get this to work. Is there anything else I should try besides the software update trick before returning my phone to stock and returning it to VZ?
i had the same problem as you OP, but after pressing check new enough times and jumping straight into the browser, i got it to stick. took at least 12 tries, however and i'll see if it lasts.
love the franklin avatar btw!
also, is anyone using juice defender? idk if its coincidence or not, but i d/l the program last night and this is the first data connectivity problem i've had with the tbolt.
Yes, I had both arrows. But, for some reason when I would open the browser to google it wouldn't work. I tried about 4 times, each time it would show data, but I wouldn't have a connection. Also, it would show data being up and down stream, but I couldn't manage to get it to work when I tried it.
Hi, I have had my amaze since it first came out. Just about 2 months ago, I am having a problem connecting to my home WiFi. I used to be able to connect no problem. I connect at work just fine. I have searched many times for a fix, and none have worked so far (From what I found, that is) I am S-Off and Running NRGZ28 4.0.3 rom with Faux Kernel 31. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am hitting my 5GB data cap in about 2 weeks now that I cant use my home WiFi Thanks!

Are you sure it's your phone that's causing the problem??
Does Wi-Fi work fine on your computer connected at home?
That can explain the source of the problem. If it's a home problem, call your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Seems like your router problem.Try if you have accidentally disabled wlan in your router settings..Or reset your router
solved
So I figured out the problem. Apparently someone that uses our main computer somehow banned my Mac address from my cell phone. I never thought about that till this morning. Every other computer and device worked normally so I didn't think about security. Anyways, thanks all for the input. That's why this forum is so great.

It has aroma installer now, and wifi calling is fixed. It also has adblocking pre-configured and it's cool.

It looks like this is brought up around the net a little bit but I don't see anything here. I'm having problems where my wifi connects fine, works great and then seems to stop. It still shows it connected but it isn't receiving any data. The other issue I have is if I leave the area and come back in range, it'll reconnect but says that it isn't getting any data from the connection. A quick on/off of airport mode seems to clean it up for a little while but it does continue to cut out again.
Sorry if this is a duplicate issue on here but I didn't see it.

Been having issues like this... Doesn't totally seem to lose connection, just slows to a crawl. Other devices don't seem to have an issue when it happens

I've had it happen before, but I have a flaky DSL connection and I chalked it up to the source rather than the tablet. It seems to coincide more after tablet's gone to sleep for a while and need to re-engage WiFi.
Mine is getting worse.. Think I may return it. Loses connection all the time while everything else in the house is working

I wonder if it's the WiFi driver and the screen not updating the current WiFi status.
Sometimes if I get to a game that hides the notif bar and then go "home" again I get a WiFi -X (disconnected) icon. I then had to 'recycle' (airport mode) the connection and it works again.
Probably had something to do with sleep and re-init WiFi. JuiceDefender had a setting for this, but sideload that is gonna be a PITA.
I've never had a connection issue per say with the Wi-Fi, but I have had the issue that's going around a little where sometimes if I turn my Wi-Fi on and it's connecting the HDX will just restart. Haven't had it happen to me much, 1 maybe 2 times in owning it a couple weeks? No issues in terms of connectivity to my network when and while connecting though, on 13.3.1.0
As per the internetz.. I've set the IP to static and haven't had the same problems again... Will keep posted

I just reset the entire WiFi connection (forget the SSID, then reenter a password, which is a royal PITA as I have a VERY VERY VERY long passphrase) and that seem to have resolved it. May be a corrupted settings saved?
I haven't noticed any issues with mine. You might want to (unless you don't want to lol) factory reset the kindle if you already haven't.
I spoke too soon. had a problem with my wifi cutting out twice these last 2 days. i'm sending this thing back. not sure if i'm going to get another one. really hate fire os
I think part of the problem is Amazon chose NOT to put in any sort of a "progress bar" in most of its apps, thus makes us think the whole thing's frozen. it also hid the status bar so we can't see if it's really stuck with an app like SeePU. ARGH!
Once I was on the MayDay button doing video chat with Amazon rep when we were both surprised that the Amazon store just came alive after two data resets (from AppInfo). Apparently it was just downloading stuff in the background and gave NO indication whether it's actually doing something or not.
I was having the same issue, got a replacement device and it's working fine.
