I have had my Xperia ray for around a month now, and it's annoying me every so often the data connection seems to hang, the upload and download symbols near the signal strength just flash on and off and I get connection time-outs or sometimes it goes extremely slow like dial up speeds. Sometimes I attempt to reload the page and the data connection comes back to life, it's so annoying, especially when I am using it as a wifi hotspot on my PC. I am using the right settings, I am on T-Mobile UK and using the access point name general.t-mobile.uk. Prior to the Sony Ray, I had a Nokia 6700 classic which was totally faultless, so I know it can't be the network. I am currently using baseband 72 with JJDoctor's GBlite rom. I know it suggests using baseband 58 but it's just the same no matter what baseband I use or if I use ICS or Gingerbread. I really would love to get this data connection problem sorted once and for all, it's so annoying. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
I got the same problem, any solution?

So it looks like I am not the only one. What baseband are you using?
Basebands 70 and up are ICS basebands so you will encounter probs when using them on GB the highest GB base band you can use is 66, use the search button I have explained basebands already . If you don't know what baseband fits your rom libs then post a question in your roms thread asking the dev what version it is based on and go from there and finally please post questions in the correct sections and don't junk up the dev section

I have the same problem, now i'm with jj 3.1 rom and 72 baseband, sometimes need to go in airplane mode then tne data connection restart, sometimes need to reboot the phone.
I've the same problem on Sony stock firmware, all version..
Guys are your network carriers making any improvements in your area's? If they are then that would cause your probs. The only times i have had any probs with signal is if I have had the wrong bb or my carrier has been upgrading their network that's it.

I have tried all the roms on my ray and never have any probs with my data connection and I do a lot of surfing and heavy downloading however if I use a different carrier then the data service is just slow and backs up even with hsdpa connection. My current carrier are fast reliable and never drop out on me. Devstaffandroid I thought you would know a lot more than me about this considering you are building a cm9 rom for the x8 ??

Write this in the terminal emulator:

Ok i've installed terminal emulatro, when i've the problem i make a logcat.
It's a problem when the phone goes to sleep. I have this problem all the time when tethering to my laptop. Unless my phone is awake (screen on) it doesn't loose connection. But soon as it turns off, BAM! Connection lost until I wake it up.

I have just put baseband 66 on my phone and I have made the phone work only in 3G mode in the mobile networks settings, up to now it doesn't appear to have the problem, I'll test it some more.

It's definitely the phone as you say. I had a Nokia 6700 classic and it never happened on that. T-mobile internet is spot on 99% of the time. Anyway, try what I tried, use baseband 66 and force your phone to stay in 3G only mode. It appears to work upto now.

Hi,
I have been facing some strange issues from the day i got my photon,
My 3G CDMA (EVDO) works fine in normal scenario (with normal web page viewing) but when ever i try to do large file download / try watching youtube with HD video the EVDO gets disconnected and i think the radio re-starts after around 1-2 mins and the data connection is up again.
Same thing happens if i try using speedtest (may be that also tries to send big chunk of data to test BW) and when i try download big files of more than around 5 MB in Google play.
When this data disconnection happens in my EVDO signal bar only upload arrow is being shown and no download.
This issue is persistant in all the Rom's i tried (have faced with Stock/CM7/MUI/CNA/CM9).
Using the photon in CDMA with Reliance in India.
Pl help me to get the issue resolved
Might just be an issue with your service provider.

If this has happened since day one, the n you should flash stock on it and turn it in for a replacement because it sounds like it might be a hardware issue. Its obviously not a software issue since it happens with so many variations of roms.

If you're sure that when flashing the other romz you appropriately wiped data, system, cache, and dalvik I'm inclined to agree with fugitive. I would flash the latest sbf and see if the problem persists. If its still there, get it traded for a replacement as your issue isn't normal.

That could just be an issue with their network in india then, but just to make sure, are you using gsm or cdma networks, because it could be a gsm issue. I would think cm9 would be your best option seeing as how they have more gsm support

Hi this worked for me. I'm stock and experienced connection issues with my wifi...sitting 2 feet from the router!!! Never had any problems connecting anything via wifi b4.
Go to settings>>wifi>>menu>>advanced. in the advanced section there is a radio button to enable Best Wi-Fi performance. Once activated I had no more connection problems.
Hope this helps.
Not sure if this might help but I changed WiFi to 2.4 GHz and like above best WiFi per. So far good

I did this and it worked for me briefly but then reverted to "authenticating" and then telling me it is the wrong access key for the network. I don't understand why it's doing this but at least for me it seems to be a 1.22 based problem as everything I've run with the prior firmware has been fine....

Search the thread for a modem of your region and try a few till you get one to your liking. Takes a while for the phone to get 'used' to a new modem so even if it isn't the best at first, the signal tends to improve after about a day or so. I have never encountered problems with signal but I hope this helps

2G or GSM network does not allow data transfer and calls simultaneously. you have to use 3G for that.

You can surf in EDGE with some Carriers while Calling
Not possible, the operators don't allow it to prevent overload.
