I had this problem running miui, cm7, and now I'm on unnammed. I've used all the modems and still nothing helps. I thought unnammed didn't have this problem? To fix it I haft to flip to airplane mode and back, then its fixed.
Sorry if this has been asked. I'm on taptalk on my phone and I don't know how to search with it

Could be APN settings. I don't know them off hand, but they are listed in post 2 of the miui thread.
If it happens on multiple ROMs it could also be a bad SIM card. Does it do it on pure stock? If so, try a new SIM card.

ok, thanks. ill look them up. this issue is making me want to switch back to my iphone, but hopefully this will fix it cause i like android, just this is getting old
Are you talking about wifi or 3g?
Are you using any battery saving apps like Juice Defender?

This. I haven't seen this issue reported often, and in the past, it's turned out to be an app interfering with the connection. If not, it's likely an apn issue.

I've had the same thing happen to me on other AOSP roms too. On both the SGS2 and my captivate.
I just switched to iscrewed to see if the prob is still there. Its hard to reproduce the bug, but it happens when i go from either:
1. being connected to wifi for a long time and then leaving that area, mobile data doesnt turn back on
2. being in a bad service area for a long time, and then leaving it, mobile data doesnt turn back on.
The worst thing about it is i use google voice for texts, and thats usually how i can tell that it cut out, because i stop getting texts from people.
I love android and google, but honestly if problems like this dont get ironed out, then as long as the next iphone has a decent size screen im probably switching over.
FYI this has occurred when i had the bare minimum installed on my phone, and i never use any ridiculous battery saving apps.

Have you tried a new SIM card? My problem was similar, and followed me from one phone to another as you describe. New SIM card fixed it right away.

Wow, i didn't even consider that.
I will be trying and will report back. If this fixes it i will owe you my life!
I might have to switch back to cm7 just to name sure it's the Sim card that's causing it.

ill try this out tomorrow. just now when checking my email i had to turn on airplane mode and back off to get data to work.
also, i tried the apn settings on the first page of the miui thread and it didnt work. i tried those settings on miui, wiui, cm7, and unnammed but they all made it so that my internet didnt work at all.
so just to clarify, i shouldnt haft to change apn settings and my phone shouldnt be doing this on non stck roms, right? sim is likely the problem? this has gotten really old really quick and its embarrassing when im trying to show my friends something but my phone isnt working.
Your phone should work fine on any ROM you find here. Mine does. I never have to play with APNs, even on miui. I never have to play with airplane mode or power cycle. But, when my SIM was bad I would drop data connectivity all the time. Calls would fail (outbound only), and other glitchy reception issues. Sometimes airplane mode fixed it, sometimes power cycle, sometimes airplane mode on, power cycle, and all times it was temporary. Its worth a try, shouldn't cost anything to get a new SIM. If they give you trouble at the store just tell them you called 611 and they told you to go in for a new one. If that doesn't fix it go warranty route for a new phone.

Those APN settings have worked fine for me on both CM7 and every Sammy ROM I've used. I always have (unrelated) problems with MIUI, so I can't verify that one.
So i went today and got a new SIM. Its been about 9 hours, but no problems yet. Time will tell if it works, but im willing to bet that was the problem, and this is why.
When i went to get my sim, the guy there told me that when ATT started rolling out 4g phones (which includes 3.5g) many employees had trouble with their data switching on and off until they switched their sim cards.
Then i started thinking to myself - I've had the problem about as long as I had my SGS2, and only had the problem with AOSP roms on my captivate - then i made the connection.
When i used a stock, or stock based rom on my captivate, i had no problems. The second i used an international ROM, or an AOSP rom is when i would have the issues. What is the difference between the roms............. The ATT rom doesnt have hspa+ enabled, so using my old "3g" sim card i was fine. No 3.5g to connect to to cause problems. CM and international Roms would use that new 3.5g network and would then screw up.
That is my theory anyway, and if it turns out true it would have solved one of my biggest annoyances with android. (or at least my android experience)
fingers crossed
i too went in and got a new sim. my phone service actually quit working before going in. id get calls and i could hear them but they couldnt hear me. i replaced the sim and all is good. where miui would hang and data would freeze and id haft to redo the airplane mode trick, it would just hang for a sec or 2 and then start downloading again. ive only had it hang 2x now and i think its because it might be switching from hspa to 3g or even wifi.
so for the sim card thing worked. if it fails in the mean time, ill come back to this and give an update. thanks for suggesting it being the sim card cause i wouldnt have thought of that.
I'm another day strong without any problems. I don't know of its due to the new sim or because i switched to a Samsung based rom. I should switch back to test, but I'm loving the speed of icsrewed right now.
If i had to guess i would say it's due to the sim, and if so, there should be a sticky somewhere that says to make sure your not using an older 3g sim card. Would have saved me months of aggravation.
Will report back after a few more days. In a week or so I'll switch back to cm to see if it fixes it there as well.
That's one reason I generally buy my phones at the att store (authorized reseller, but dedicated to att phones). Usually they will price match, and they know things like that. My SIM went bad when I had my captivate. Later when I upgraded to a faux G phone the att rep knew I would need a new SIM, and replaced it then, even though it was only a month old. They also knew the "3G" data plan needed to be converted to a "4G" (still unlimited) plan on their system for me to get data.
You don't get that kind of assistance when you buy at Walmart, online, etc.

Amazon Mobile just sends you a new simcard anyways lol
Interesting, maybe next time if my data refuses to work I should bug at&t for a new Sim card. I had problems on different roms including stock rom where I had to turn off and on my data or else it will not work. But I think my modem might have played a role. Data seems fine now.

If you go directly to an AT&T store they replace it for free.

Yup just show up. They shouldn't charge. as long as your an att customer theyll take care of you. I've never heard of anyone paying for a new Sim. If you lose your Sim I've heard of them charging people, but i doubt they'll charge even then.
I'm having problems with my Galaxy SII, on Orange in the UK. There are huge problems with the signal. Bear in mind I have recently bricked the phone, but resurrected it with a short stay in the airing cupboard.
With the SIM in, I can get a decent signal at first, but this then drops away to nothing, pretty quickly. Sometimes, I don't even get the signal.
However. with the SIM out, I get a full signal for emergency calls. At this point, it looks like a network issue, with patchy signal.
However, I then swap the SIM over to my HTC Desire, and get a reasonable signal sitting at 2 bars now. Same is true outside where I had 4 bars on the HTC, and nothing on the Galaxy.
Any thoughts on this one? I am a bit frightened of calling Orange as I no longer have my insurance with them, and their repair department is a bit unprofessional - last time I called them, they started making an insurance claim on what was a warranty issue without even telling me, until they told me about the excess I would pay.
I'm running Gingerbread.BVKI3, version 2.3.4.
Thanks.

flash another modem , i recomand xxki4 , via CWM . use search button and type : modem , click on first link and you will find a lot of modems.
OK, got to the next stage of things - I can't flash a new modem using Odin, as my phone isn't recognising. Not even without Odin. I am getting the MTP connection come up on my phone, and it is charging perfectly well, but I can't get any access to it on the computer, not even as an external drive. Is this potentially a phone problem, or is this a software/drivers/hardware problem? I don't recall any permanent problems before it got bogwashed (occasional connection issues, but easily solved by disconnecting and reconnecting). If it is a phone problem, are there any fixes? I just want to flash the modem, not do a whole system reflash. The external and internal SD cards are still working fine.
And I will need step by step instructions to achieve this. Whilst I am good with computers, I tend to leave my phones alone to avoid invalidating warranties and the like.
Hey guys, this did not happen at first, but today I have been experiencing some big issues with my phone.
I have been using the UVLK1 ICS based radio since I am an AT&T Galaxy Note user on the T-Mobile Network.
People have been calling me and my phone isn't ringing. I am getting Google Voice e-mails for voicemails they leave me but the phone never rang. I am at work where I always have gotten great service at all times. I rebooted the phone and it is still doing the same thing.
Any ideas?
Now I can't even make calls...the phone disconnects the call right after I tap the make call button...
Now I flashed the Blaze 4G radio, doing the same thing. Can't receive calls and immediately disconnecting when trying to place calls.
Data isn't working either..
Pulled the SIM card, put back in, problem solved. Weird!
It is doing it again! This morning it happened and I had to pull battery and SIM, reboot, it worked but shortly after stopped working...
issues with TMobile radios on galaxy note
I have experienced similar problems as well, but not to the extent to where my phone doesn't work at all. Since TMobile sells the Note now, I'm sure someone will port the full ROM or at least the radio.

i'm using the SGH-I727 with various T-Mobile radios and having the same issue, kinda. It will work for about 3-5 hours then stop. The signal meter still works, 2-3 bars in my area, even flucuates. However it will say (Searching) and nothing comes in or goes out. It does not work again until rebooted. Then the process repeats.
Any other t-mobile subscribers with you? The crazy weather might be a cause.
Can you put your sim in your back up phone?
Hi guys I have an S3 UK version in the 3 network.
Recently I've been having a problem getting a signal, where my phone won't get a signal my mates will albeit a weak one. It only happened a week so prior to this it was fine for months.
I've phoned 3 and they say the masts are fine except one under maintenance but had to same issues 200 miles away though I do get a signal sometimes.
Are there any hardware etc checks I can do? or known problems with the hand set?
I bought the phone almost brand new 5 month ago but off someone, would Samsung repair it or not? Under warranty?
Cheers
Bump running latest omega version
Bumping is banned questions go in Q&A.
Repair depends whats wrong worth a factory reset first and also checking you have the correct network settings .
jje
It could be possible that the problem is with the rom.
Maybe do a factory restore and maybe even go back to stock to see if the problem is still there.
Always go back to stock if having any problems like this.
Also make sure apn setting are completeky up to date.
Go to the suppirt section on there website to get the latest settings.

Hi there.
I have Lumia 920 Black on EE in UK.
Last month when Amber (french one) got leaked, I installed it and tried straight away.
It wasn't big difference to me in fact it had a bug where if I create an all day calendar entry using google account (not tried with Live account),
it will save the even entry as day before?
It bugged me so much so I decided I will install EURO Dev version.
So I did and everything seem to work fine untill I go outside my house.
I kept on getting no signals. And when I had signal it was constantly on EDGE. Never on 3G.
I did reflash and restart and all it doesn't seem to help. When I restart the phone I get 3G briefly for seconds until it loses service totally then come back with full EDGE signal.
I have found a old firmware RM821_1232.2109.1242.1010_RETAIL_eu_euro1_342_10_97021 and flashed it. And did update through OTA.
Still no 3G. I called EE today for help. They told me it could be the sim.
So I tried on my old iPhone 4 and its all good. I get full 3G.
Anyone know what may be the problem? And if EE offers a repair, will they found out that I've playing with flashing the device and tell me its not covered by the warranty?
Thanks you all!

I know the issue exist on the ATT Dev Rom, you just have to go into the Access Point app in the settings and pick the correct APN, (the flash defaults it to the wrong one. ) but I don't know if that's the case for the EE version. I suppose is possible, it can, and is suppose to load, the APN from the Sim, so if it worked with the iphone sim then check those settings.
Thanks for you reply. Did what you said but it did not help at all. It's not like my data isn't working. It's just on EDGE all the time. Sometimes I don't even get calls through and later get message from EE saying I had a miss call. Called Orange (runs on EE) about it and they said maybe its my sim. So tried it on my iPhone and I get 3G straight away. Need to ring them again. But their call waiting time is ridiculous. Called them yesterday and call queue was 2 hours!!
