Having intermittent problems with my mobile internet and was wondering if it was the phone, other users or just plain crap signal.
Have anything between 2 to 5 bars here, hsdpa symbol on constantly but for some reason it occasionally gets stuck on the upload arrow and then the data connection freezes and wont come back on til I toggle mobile network or airplane mode.
Phone is running modaco 2.2c and latest radio on T-Mobile UK.
Hi. Been lurking around since I got my Hero, and thought it was about time I signed up to this excellent forum.
I was having exactly the same problem. Didn't know whether it was a problem with the Hero or the network/signal. I noticed that the APN settings on my Hero were different to the t-mobile site. I read around a bit and tried a few combinations of settings and eventually got it sussed.
Go to t-mobile.co.uk
Hover over "Help & Support" at the top and click "Phone Support". Click "Make the most of your mobile" and choose the G2.
Click on "Set up the phone for internet surfing" and enter the details shown there exactly in a new APN on your Hero.
The only change to those details is the password should be "pass".
This is the only APN setting i have tried that doesn't give me the original problem. Now I can browse without the 3g signal getting "stuck"
I'm using an unlocked Hero - completely stock btw.
Hope this helps. Let me know how you get on.
I've been having this very problem. That's good information, I'll give it a try.
Seems to work well. Here's the link.
thanks for pointing me there.
k i altered my settings, will test it thru day see if it improves.
Ooh, seems to be working so far. Seems I owe you a beer. Lol.
After a day or two using this 'fix' I find it the drop still happens sometimes but not as often.

Did you change the password to "pass" ? That is the most important bit.
Changed the password lets see what happens.

Personally, I had this issue the first time i flashed test4. No data without wifi, and voice bars were very laggy. I switched back to my stock rom for a day, and when i returned to play with it that night (reflash from .zip, not restore from backup), no more problems. The initial transition to 4g from 3g seems to take a bit longer than on the stock rom, but once it is up, everything is smooth. Not constructive, I know, but it is a data point.
ok thanks. but which is the link to test 4. i have a feeling i installed the wrong one. can u send me link if u can? thanks
Check the device thread on cm7 pre alpha links are at end. You want the one with a three which is actually the fourth one.
Here is how to get signal.
1. Goto network settings, scroll down to network type, select the cdma/edvo option.
2. Wait until green 3g. If it doesn't pop up repeate step 1
3. Once green, change setting to cdma+lte/auto and hit your screen off button. Don't touch phone for 5 minutes.
I'm not sure turning screen of makes a difference but this is how I've repeatedly done it.
I have found that if you loose 4g you can loose all data. Just repeate above. It seems to work for about 10 hours then a reboot is required.

tonyagee is correct. This worked for me when I originally had your issue.
thanks guys but this doesnt work for me. ive tried it with stock and leaked radio.
I too have CM7 and have issues with data/3g. I'm not in a 4g area so I can't speak for LTE. What I noticed is that if I'm connected to a wifi-network and move out of range. My phone has a hard time getting into 3g and vice versa. If I go from 3g to wifi. Same thing. It appears that this is a bug but I'd like to find the buglist so I can confirm. I have, however, been able to get around this issue by rebooting. A good indicator of data transfer is when the wifi icon or 3g icon is green and in the case of a 3g icon, the arrows are flashing. If they are white, you are connected, but you aren't getting any data.
Not sure if this answers your question but I would try the wififix that Imoseyon made (link is in the CM thread somewhere). I enabled 3g, then rebooted into recovery and flashed the wififix file. Once the phone rebooted, I was able to move between 3g and wifi without issue as long as 3g was enabled first.

So just as the title says, a few days ago my data just stopped working. it will show H+, but it won't have the bars underneath or anything. I literally try everything, and sometimes it works and then just disappears again.
I got so frustrated today with it that I flashed down to 1.5.7 then OTA'd to 1.8.3 and guess what..it's still doing it!
Another frustrating thing about it is that I can't receive pictures or anything. I'm very close to going back to my iphone 4. Has this been happening to anyone else?
i have this problem too and like you i tried everything with fail.
maybe it's your apn settings?
i've reset them twice, and it still doesn't do anything. i'm ready to just exchange it out
this happened when i ****ed up my APN settings.
go to you APN list and then make sure that AT&T US is selected. Wait till it connects to the AT&T cell tower and then restart your phone.
Thats what worked for me.
This is happening to me too, I don't know what else to do I've done almost everything I can, I even restored to factory settings only to find out it would wipe all of my APN settings (I thought it would set them to default, but it just erased everything)
I've now set the APN settings but it still doesn't connect to my data plan. I'm really running out of options, I'm really frustrated.
i have att us hsdpa selected. i'll try just doing att us
What is your baseband? .07P? Or .15P?

I've had this issue...baseband .15P
I'm on the fido network in Canada, it doesn't matter which APN I use
.15. i'm going back to att soon to just exchange it out and hope that fixes it
edit - yep gave me a new phone/sim, still can't access the market from data or receive/send pictures. I'm stumped
well I ended up switching back to my iphone 4, still have my atrix just isn't active.
turns out that I was missing a feature that would have given me full data access vs limited.

happens to me all the time, i use a widgetsoid button to renable it back everytime it goes out.
I've been trying to search about this but i can't seem to get the answer.
I heard about making new APN's but it doesn't work for me.
All it says is "access to this url is blocked" or something like that, i can't seem to use it unless i use Opera mini.
Btw i had this phone for like a month already.
thanks in advance.
More info? What kernel, android version, ROM?
2.2.2, no custom rom, 2.6.32.9-00007 is there more to the kernal?
I have the same issue once in a while. It's almost like the data is stuck on something. A reboot usually works for me. I'm on mobile so I can't see but are you with bell? Asking as I am.

Good to know I'm not the only one.
I allways blamed my carrier.
I use Signal Refresh, its on the Market. It helps sometimes. I allways end rebooting the phone.
I'm on 4.5.9.1 right now, but I've experienced this issue since 4.1.2.6.
weird i restart the phone and i still can't use the stock browser always gotta go to Opera Mini. Opera Mobile doesn't work for me either this is weird. I am on att btw should i bring it back to a att store?.

Even though your homepage is blocked on your stock browser, can you still navigate to a different website?
Like can you navigate to Google.com, or is that blocked too?...

Today I had this same issue.
No data. I tried refreshing the signal, toggling airplane mode, rebooting...phone would send or download data sometimes, but it never loads a web.
I ended using wifi to write this answer.
I hope this issue get fixed somehow.
Had same issue myself for the first time today. Never had this before. I'm on 4.5.91 beta 3, and I didn't realise at first when I lost all data that my signal bars were telling me something. On stock GB the signal bars are blue when you have data, but they turn white when you do not. I saw 3 white bars and thought I still had signal when in fact I did not. Tried rebooting, got blue bars for a couple of seconds, then white again and no data. I actually had to go outside my work, at which point I picked up a strong signal again, and I have been fine at work since. Very wierd, but it's almost like the radio lost the signal, then could not acquire it again without me being outside where it possibly had line of sight to a tower.
weird you guys only get it sometimes?
Mine has been like this since day one and it's already been a month and a half.
APN Settings.
There's a thread I posted a while back with all the APN settings for AT&T. Try to add these and see if you can't get it working.

By chance did you just start having these problems after installing the leaked version of the updated Market? Whenever I run the market, downloads are very flaky, I get a few force closes, and my connection seems to just drop out entirely, from apps, browsers, etc...
It picks back up eventually if I close the market app whichs eems odd
Just got to work this morning, went to new Market, (leaked version), and as soon as the app came up my 4 blue bars turned white..............no data again! Something with the new Market is definitely messing up data connectivity.
<edit> Rebooted phone, tested data...............working fine on everything. Start Market again, blue bars turn white, no data!
yeah, i went to manage apps and selected uninstall update to market. Rolls it back to the original.
nope checked the APN's still the same should i go back to att with this?
The short of it is, my Wifi crapped out for reasons beyond my experiences thus far.
The long of it. I flashed epinter's 07/25/2012 Nightly and everything seemed to be working nicely, Wifi especially. Then today, out running errands and dropped my Atrix in my Car Dock and attempted to turn on Bluetooth for the first time since flashing, and the device froze then restarted. Once back up, I tried turning Wifi back on, and the device froze again and restarted. Thinking maybe the radio driver went south, I grabbed epinter's 07/27/2012 build (epinter-cm10-20120727_1846-UNOFFICIAL-olympus.zip), and still no luck. Back into Recovery, Wiping everything and also factory resetting then flashing twice over again, boot up, still no wifi, and if it manages to seemingly fire up, the device hangs and restarts.
Within the last 2 hours (Been at this for about 12 hours now.) I grabbed Jokersax's build (Beta 0.1.0), wiped/reset/flash twice as I have before. Now as I take a breath I noticed that the Wifi Icon came up in the Notification bar, but when I go into Settings and Scan, I see none of the Networks around me. I looked under Advanced and noticed that my MAC Address is 'Unavailable' nor am I showing an IP address, even though Wifi is saying 'On'. Verified on my Router, my Phone is not connected to it.
Odd Side note, installed aLogcat just to see if I could catch any errors, and it is not giving me anything, that is, I am not seeing any logs through the app. Most likely an unrelated issue, but still a tad annoying.
Everything else seems in order, including Mobile Data (Able to access Web Pages, Market/Play Store, receive email, etc.). Just Wifi pretty much 'Lights are on, but no one is Home.'. Any suggestions on next steps?
We discussed this issue over in some other threads and conclusion is that it's a hardware malfunction Ur broadcom chip is burned,many people (including me) had that problem.

I need to really work on my searching, tried several variations of 'atrix WiFi cm10' and could not pin down a related thread.
But back on topic, CRAP! What I was hoping was not the case. Thanks for the reply, will continue to dig for those threads and cross fingers the chip really is not fried (doubtful but hey, people can dream right?).
Thank you for the reply.

try making a clean install and you'll se that you won't have that problem!

I can't search the threads right now as i am typing from my phone-search is limited to 20-30 posts... But keywords for ur search should be : "atrix wifi error" or "wifi and bluetooth error on atrix" Several forums have this kinda threads,not just xda unfortunately ... seems like it's very often malfunction on this lovely phone. I couldn't repair my previous atrix so i bought another one.

We're talking fastboot wipe kind of clean install? Going to give that a go as a last attempt, will post results here.
Glimmer of hope tonight, was discussing the problem with a friend, went to turn on WiFi and it actually scanned and connected for about 2 minutes before crapping out. This tells me there maybe life to the chip still. Now to get fastboot to connect and try a wipe and see what happens.

Any news on this front? I am one of the afflicted as well.
I'm having a similar issue. though my BT works just fine, no delays, no errors, no intermittance.
Wifi, I can scan for networks just fine. i click on mine to connect. it shows connecting, noting that when it says connecting the signal shows 1 bar as compared to the full set of wifi bars when scanning, i am also right next to the AP. is tries connceting for about 20 seconds or so. then goes back to saying "saved" under the SSID, other networks showing "disabled" when this happens. i originally noticed this after flashing epinters cm10. i tried flashing 37p, 36p and 30p radios with no difference.
EDIT: also want to note that i HAVE disabled the "avoid poor connections" option. and have tried setting static IP.
I flashed the same and I am unable to get my wifi to work after clean wipe, radio install or anything else that I have tried. Could software have really burned up a wifi radio????

Mine works occasionally so I don't think the radio is dead. The rom just acts like it's not there most of the time and doesn't give a mac address. Sometimes it works though after a reboot. Would flashing a different radio help? My baseband version says N_01.77.37P
I had an IP and a MAC, but no wifi internet.
Using mobile data, I downloaded Set DNS and then enabled wifi, works fine.
Now it's working but mobile data is going very very slow, it took 5min to download Set DNS.
I have a skyrocket but the "no wifi" issue is probably the same - your not getting DNS
I'm going back to CM9 for now.
+1 wifi matter under CM10
Try rebooting the router.
Experienced same issue (unable to connect, showing full bars, dropping to 1 bar when connecting and never being able to complete a connection) rebooting my router has fixed the issue. I'm not technical but it might have to do with the DNS release for addresses .. in any case unplugging my router for a bit and restarting it fixed the issue for me.
