I don't know if this problem is real or if I am just being paranoid and imagining something but basically it goes something like this:
I recently rooted and lagfixed my vibrant with OCLF 2+. I am new to rooting and all this so I tried not to do too much, no new ROMs or anything. All I have done so far is download a few root specific programs and applied a theme with metamorph but took it off.
So now when I am browsing on 3G, it loads very very slowly. But if I do speedtest it works really well, high speeds. I also downloaded Dolphin HD to see if it was just the stock browser. Dolphin HD loaded the sites just fine. But market is also having issues, saying no network connection.
Am I just imagining slow connection and being impatient? Or could there be a problem?

Whatever the actual problem may be, I suggest you forget the OCLF lag fix, and just get the Bionix rom. I have heard of far too many problems with the OCLF lag fix, and the Bionix rom does far more than that lag fix can ever do.
But, did you try undoing the lag fix and seeing if that affected your speeds?
I think the issue is called "data drop"? Anyways, although I am currently running Axura 2.0.3, it doesn't seem to matter, all 2.2's seem to do it. There will come a point in the day when I try to open something web-based, the 3G activity on the notification bar just does nothing. I suppose rebooting solves it for a while, but going to settings>wireless & network>mobile networks>network operators>search now and then re-choosing T Mobile somehow resets it as well.
-Can somebody explain what the bigger issue is here (why it does this on 2.2)? -Is there some type of a "fix" out there, or one contemplated?
-If there isn't, is there a better way to re-set the data than either of the 2 things above? If re-registering solves it, how does it get un-registered in the first place?
-On 2.1 ROMS (and even stock) I was routinely getting data speeds of between 4-5M. On 2.2 it's hardly ever more than 3. Is this something inherent in 2.2? Seems like we went backwards a bit???
Hmm, I haven't seen it yet. I did experience Airplane mode once on one of the earlier Onyx releases, and the only thing that solved it was to reboot the device.
I have experienced a strange issue with the browsers though, I will get a notification that internet connection is required, but the page loads, I even tried to download and install an alternative browser, and got the same annoying pop-up, mind you I was on 3G, and also used the market to download the app to install it at the same time in the same location.

That also happened to me yesterday. The pages in the browser does load but it's annoying that a pop up message will always appear when using the browser. I'm using Froyo now for almost a week and it happened the first time yesterday. Then i reboot then it's fixed.
I am getting a lot of disconnects too. But it also happens when I am on wifi, sometimes wifi refuses to start and errors out. Onyx 3.1.
Just happened trying to post this - wifi.

Did your area recently have 4G go live? I've had data problems on both mine using froyo and my girlfriends running stock ji6. So I don't feel the froyo roms are the cause. Last night neither of us could get data to work for more than a few minutes at a time.

I too have noticed this on all the 2.2 roms. What I see is the up/green arrow on the 3G icon light up but not the down/orange arrow. I'll try loading stuff up on the web/market and nothing but all the while that green arrow is lighting up. I'm guessing green = upload and orange = download? Idk, but its annoying as hell.

I just came back to the office and was able to use it without the annoying pop-up.
It is strange, the page loads in the background while the pop-up comes up.
Ahhh, the Froyo gooodies LOL

Not yet. Philly always gets hit up last. I did some more searching and found this in the early part of the Axura thread:
"The Lib & Bin fixes are for the battery.
I haven't had any problem.
It seems to be a hit & miss type of thing.
He told me That is was probably the same issue that was causing his network location to not work, and that he fixed in with the lib and bins. Just waiting on a release. Everything else seems great in this rom. Runs much smoother that the JPM build."
I have no idea what this means or if it's relevant, but there's something ain't right...
Running Axura. Since 2.2 does not see the hsdpa, I loaded the ji6 modem and all is working great. No data issues at all.

No update on this thread. Anyone got a fix?
I am experiencing the same problem with all the 2.2 ROMs, currently on bionix-v 1.2.1 with KB1 modem.
When it is in the "data drop" condition, sometimes voice calls would not connect and SMS fails to send. But signal status still showing full bars (I live next to the tower).
I'm on an UMTS/HSPA network, so it does look to be a ROM rather than a radio problem. I've tried almost all the available modems - same problem. Yes, I use my phone heavily so there is always one or two apps trying to access the network - and they would be all be stuck (or errors) at the same time.
If I'm tethered, either via 2.2 AP Mode or USB tether, the session is stuck until reset/reboot.
However, the free "WiFi Tether for rooted users" app from the market gets around this condition all the time... somehow :
Hey guys first time poster long time reader. Before I begin I just wanted to thank you all for the help and support with the ins and outs of the android OS.
Now that that is out of the way, I had a question in regards to Veoh.com and some issues I am having with it. I have Kaos Froyo v39, and I use Dolphin browser mini. When I change my useragent to iPhone and I go on Veoh it works okay for a little bit, and then it either stops loading videos or gives me an error message saying 'this video cannot be played' is there a fix for this? Am I doing something wrong?

Hi! Welcome. Is this over 3G or Wifi, or have you tried both?
Either way, this is safe to try: Download "APN OnOff" from the market. Launch it and choose "Show APN list" in the middle of the screen. Press Menu and choose "Reset to default". You may or may not need to perform a reboot to see if this helps. Try it without first.
This used to help me with restoring tethering when it stopped working.
A longer method to possibly achieve the same thing, but may be worth a try if the first method doesn't work:
Perform a nandroid and flash a stock-like ROM such as xtrSENSE (what I would recommend). You only have to use it long enough to download "APN Backup & Restore" off the market. Run it and choose "Backup APNs", you can name it whatever makes sense to you such as "xtrSENSE stock APN.xml", otherwise it just uses the current date and time.
Nandroid back to KaosFroyo and install "APN Backup & Restore" again. This time choose "Restore APNs" and restore the one you backed up from xtrSENSE. Again try it without a reboot first but if it doesn't work try a reboot.
You can do this as often as you like to see if this helps with any data trouble. I'm not positive if it helps with WIFI at all; I know it helps with 3G Data.
Please let us know if any of this helps or not.
Thank you so much, its working now. Only issue now is that the bar in the program is stuck in the off position, and when I click on it to turn it back on it just goes into the settings. My connections are still fine as you can see, should I be worried?
On an unrelated note, which tethering Rom did you use? I would love to tether my phone, but the threads I have read make it seem like a daunting process to me.

Bar in which program? APN OnOff? As long as everything's working I wouldn't worry about it since I don't use that button; I think I've noticed that before. A reboot would probably restore it, in my experience.
I've tethered under every ROM but any GingerBread one, now. Started with xtrsense, found that it was marginally more reliable under Froyo so GB would probably be good too. What was better about 2.2+ tethering was how fast the tethering connection would be made, before it took a minute or two for the computer to recognize it; now down to less than 30 seconds.
I don't recommend the old wired or wireless tether for root under 2.2+, but I haven't tried them in a while. 2.2+ and CM6+ have their own native tethering. CM6.1's notification power widgets have a WIFI tether one which connects the fastest. Free Tethering Widget off the market will also give you a widget for that and/or USB tethering, which is built into 2.2+ itself but for some reason CM doesn't include a notification power widget for.
Wireless tethering eats your battery like crazy plus made the phone extra hot, but you have to understand that it was my only home internet until a month ago since last August. I kept the battery cover off and had a fan on it, but you don't have to do that for just occasional tethering. I also had it plugged in to charge constantly; I just liked how fast wireless connected.
Wired tethering also uses battery faster and makes it warmer, just not nearly as fast or warm as wireless.
Occasionally 3G would stop and I'd have to turn off tethering and do the steps in my other post to get it going again. Most of the time a reboot after doing APN OnOff made tethering last longer.
If you know how to install drivers with Device Manager (assuming you're on Windows), or you don't mind learning I would get the latest drivers from http://htc.developers.comhttp://developer.htc.com/ if I remember correctly.
I'm on my phone at the moment, I'll check later. The driver package is all the way at the bottom of the list, the last one.
Otherwise just install HTCSync for the Eris and that'll install older drivers.

Okay so let me get this straight... I have tethering on my Froyo 2.2 already and I just need to grab a widget in order to activate it? What is the driver for? I was under the assumption that my phone would become a "hotspot" so I could set it up to an Xbox PS3 etc. Do I need to download the driver in order to tether to the computer? If so, how would I be able to use a wired tether to something like a PS3? I am a pretty quick learner on the whole concept of rooting and flashing Roms, but I am a newb so I appreciate your time and patience.

If you're running a recent enough version of a ROM based on CM6.x (6.1 or 6.2?), then if you enable the tethering widget in the notification menu power buttons (the buttons at the top), then you'd don't need anything else to WIFI tether.
You can do USB tethering by going into the stock settings, but it's such a PITA to do it there it's easier to do it by using that widget I mentioned, which also handles Froyo's WIFI tethering as well. So if you're never going to do USB tethering, you don't need any other drivers (called RDNIS drivers) and you don't need that widget off the market.
If you do ever plan on wire tether, then you will need to install some RDNIS drivers (the link I gave you) unless you've already installed HTCSync, since that includes both the regular and the RDNIS drivers. I have no idea if you can wire tether to a PS3 since in Windows you need to install a driver, but you can try it and let us know, or search for other people who wanted to do the same thing. You should be able to WIFI tether, however.
No problem, I'm glad you pick things up quickly, makes it that much easier. And you're welcome!
So help me - what bar in the program were you talking about?
On APN on /off, when I reset the settings I saw a bar on the main screen highlighted on. I turned it off thinking I should rest it. I couldn't toggle it back on, bit data was still working and I did a reboot just in case. It was nothing major thankfully.

You were correct in your end assessment that it shouldn't be anything to worry about, that APN switch in the middle of the screen. I've had mixed results with it in my observations, so I don't even touch it although as you noticed it doesn't seem to hurt anything.
Thanks for verifying; that was the only thing I could imagine you might be talking about!
I have the WiFi only Flyer and I am running the offical leaked honeycomb ROM and I noticed that cell standby was back yet again. I have fast boot disabled as well. Please someone fix this, it is getting VERY annoying.
Is this because the leaked version is GSM based? It's possibly the radio software is causing the battery drain on the wifi model(???) . Just a guess though. I remember dell streak owners going through a similar thing.
I apologize if this theory has already been debunked or addressed. Haven't been following the development thread.

Well I had the issue with LeeDroid 2.3.4 so I disabled fastboot and that fixed it. However fastboot is already disabled on the honeycomb ROM.

Leedroids (awesome DHD dev) is GSM based too I believe. Did you experience the cell standby on the stock wifi rom?
If you're running Globatron's version you may want to try his development thread. I understand the support has been awesome.

If you are running the latest HC from GLobaltron, you should not see this IF.
at the start-up initial screens you picked Wifi only, NOT wifi / 3g when you selected your language, Google account etc. If you did not do that correctly, then the Flyer is trying to initialize a non-existing 3g radio. You might have to reset to factory default and go through user setup again.
I know that I chose WiFi only. I didn't have the issue in stock gingerbread ROM. I did use Globatrons method.
I'm on GLobaltron's leaked official HC and at first everything was great. Standby battery is fine, no mobile network. After installing some apps (I feel Skype might be the one to blame) I suddenly noticed that Cell network (whatever it is called in settings) was eating battery on Wifi only Flyer. After some research I got to several fixes:
1) Disable Fastboot (was already disabled)
2) Open Calculator and punch in !+!+4636+!+! to get to the setting and turn mobile network off. For some reason that thing doesn't want to stay off on my flyer. I'm suspecting some stupid app is doing something wrong there.
3) Open up Root Explorer and delete/move/rename phone.apk, telephony..apk and mms.apk.
After some screwing around with this, my Standby Battery run time is back to normal. For some reason "Mobile Network Signal" shows yellow (in battery info) instead of not showing anything like before. Well at least it isn't Red anymore, like it was when I was having problems (I guess because it was actively looking for signal). I usually turn Wifi off when screen is off, and last time I checked it Flyer lost only 1% of battery during 9 hour night sleep (from 100% to 99%) which is OK in my book.
I try to delete them in File Expert with root permissions and they don't delete.
If you have a wifi only Flyer and the HC latest root ROM, ( the wifi version, not the 3g version ) is installed you should not see any 3g signal bars. So I suspect you installed the wrong version perhaps.

I don't know about OP, but I personally have installed Wifi only version on my Wifi only Flyer. I didn't see any bars, but when my Flyer was misbehaving I went to battery stats and have seen Cell standby (of something like this) eating battery. It showed something like 10h (or whatever time it was disconnected) on battery, 100% without signal. And once again, I didn't have that issue right away. That issue came up after some apps where installed. I have tried to track it down, but after some time didn't feel like dealing with it anymore and just renamed system files. It fixed my issue.
My Wifi only Flyer on Wifi only ROM shows Mobile Network Signal in battery stats as a Yellow line. Have no clue what that means, but at least now it doesn't drain my battery.
I did download the WiFi only ROM. Tried using the calc trick, and it was working fine for a bit then the radio was on again.

Mikey, try flashing this from recovery:

I already downgraded. I prefer GB personally.
I thought I saw a fix for this but I can't seem to find it.This happens to me regardless of what ICS rom I am on. Sometimes when I turn the screen on the wifi won't connect. It says it is out of range or it will just say that the connection is save. I have to turn the wifi off and the turn it back on and tell it scan. Then it will connect. I have tried changing the channel on the router and rebooting the router I connect to but that didn't help. Anybody know of a fix for this?
Unfortunately no...
I have the same condition when using ICS ...
It's very frustrating as you know ..
Since the chance of getting a fix is slim, considering jelly bean is the hot topic these days ...I've reverted to GB.
It's not perfect ....but at least the data and wifi are solid ....with great sound and call quality...
I'm staying rooted stock for a while.....g
I personally have not had any issues with wifi. I am running the ics Gubment Cheeze and have been since the first test build. Not once has my wifi not been there for me. Ics wifi has actualy been MORE stable than GB for me.
Just a silly question ... Do you both have your wifi set to keep wifi on during sleep?

Unfortunately for my my issue is there even on GB based roms. Not sure what is going on. Doesn't do it on my sister's skyrocket or her husband's iphone so I know the router is okay.
Wifi setting for me is "always on "...
As I try to take advantage of wifi hotspots ...when traveling..
On the ICS builds, I get notification of an open hotspot, but no auto connect.
But on stock GB ....I get auto connect every time.
I can't remember if ICS has the auto connect toggle...but GB does ....at least in the hotspot system app.
If ICS ran as well for me ...I'd keep it....as I think flappjaxxx ICS build is far better than stock ...but between the dreaded lag and connection issues, I bailed out for a bit ...or until I get these connection issues fixed..
Maybe I should move ???.....LOL

I am on flapjaxx and haven't had any issues with auto connecting to any of my 'known' wifi's (5 of them as i move from site to site). It detects the at&t hotspots but doesn't connect (i actually never tried to connect ) so don't know about connect automatically. Might test it out next time i am close to McD's.
It's an att specific fuction using the hotspot app ...
If it's a wifi hotspot registered on the ATT network, then it auto connects when in range.
But I believe the UCLF6 upgrade pulled this feature out...
There is a similar app on the market from ATT too duplicate this in ICS ...but it's unreliable, and a battery hog for Me...g
I will look into when i am off work. Think i disabled it myself one of these go arounds of flashing. (think i was tired of it popping saying that it was available ). Want to see if i can duplicate it for you.

Yeah, sorry if i hijacked your thread there. Was looking at what Greg posted.
Have you tried reflashing only the modem? Flapjaxx has some stickied in the dev thread or you can pull one from a pure stock and put it in an existing flash zip. That's what I had to do. I had all kinds of problems coming from GB to ICS with the radio. Once I found one that worked I made a zip and keep it just in case. Haven't had to use it yet but you never know.
