My Galaxy S2 is on the stable release of CM9. Randomly today I looked at it to check some notifications, and found I had no data. This persists no matter where I am or what the signal is at. I can have maximum bars and text/call but data isn't working at all. I have data on under networks and don't understand why this is suddenly happening. Any thoughts?
do you have the correct APNs?

Not sure what APNs are in all honesty. I have been on stable CM9 since its release day and have never had a problem until today. Tried a reflashing of the rom, a new kernel, and another new rom. Still nothing and I'm back on CM9 again now with no data. Do you think these APNs are the issue?
Just read up on APNs controlling your mobile data a bit. I think I have a basic understanding of it. How can I check if my APN is wrong and if it is how do I fix it?

Where you at? My wife and I both lost data tonight in southern California. Odds are ATT is doing something with their network in certain areas. I didn't notice it until I tried sending a picture message. Then the wife came home complaining her data wasn't working. Same deal, full signal. So yeah, probably not a problem with your phone, but the network itself.

i'm having a very similar issue. my gs2 was functioning until approximately 8pm. i was actually just eating dinner and realized that i couldn't connect to anything. i'm able to receive phone calls, text messages, utilize the net using my wifi, but can't receive mms or connect to the net by 3g/hsdpa. as far as i know i haven't made any changes to my apn but i did check and they appear to be correct. i tried rebooting my phone, setting it on airplane and off, and still no success. not sure if it matters but i'm running task's aokp version 7.3.2012 but i haven't reflashed or added new mods/apps in several weeks. also i'm in los angeles. at this point, i'm holding off on reflashing my phone and hoping it's just the network.
I had a similar problem witcm i finally flash jb the super nexus double checked my apns an poof i had data again. If you want to know where to find your apns look under your wireless settings choose mobile networks then access point names make sure you have att there or whatever carrier yiu are using

Glad it's just the network being down. But, as for APNs: (this is for task's aokp, but the process will be extremely similar on other ROMs)
System settings
More (dependent upon ROM)
Mobile networks
Access Point Names (APNs)
There is a thread dedicated to the "correct" APNs somewhere around here. Could give those a try and see if they help you out in low signal/slow areas.

I've had the same issue. Although I'm in Australia and im on the Virgin network my SG2 data connection ability is not working.
However i only just recently upgraded it to the 4.1.2 JB using the link from this site.
Has anyone had this problem?
I tried the first time without rooting my phone and it Did't work. So i factory reset the phone to 4.0.3 ICS and everything was okay.
I then rooted the phone and used the link XDA provides, followed the instructions to the T and updated the phone to 4.1.2 JB but not my Data connection isn't working. Can anyone help?

My wife's phone has had this issue on both UnNamed (gingerbread) and now ShoStock (ICS).
Her phone will randomly disconnect from Google Talk. I'll pick it up after it has been in standby for 10-20 (or longer) minutes, I'll open gTalk, and she will be logged out. After a few seconds it logs her back in.
The annoying thing, is that when this happens, push email to her native Gmail app seems to suspend until she is logged back into gTalk. So, it seems that she is being disconnected from all google services when the phone goes to sleep.
Strangely, her work Exchange emails continue to come in using Touchdown, so she definitely still has a data connection. It just seems that her connection to google services (namely, gTalk and Gmail app) get interrupted.
Anybody seen anything similar or know a fix? EXACTLY the same thing happens to me on my HTC One X. I never had these problems with a Droid Eris, Droid Incredible, or Xperia Ray.
Thanks.
Edited to add: Wifi sleep policy is set to "always on," so wifi never goes off. But this does not happen when she is on wifi. Only happens when connected to AT&T (but we have a very strong signal at our house, so I do not think the connection is dropping -- plus, it happens everywhere, not just at home).
is her wifi set to disable when the screen is off? maybe its disconnecting when it switches data connections and never turns back on.

U don't have any apps on the phone to conserve data or power , maybe turn things off automatically for u? If not, I would try clearing cache and flashing a new modem as stated above

I'm having the exact same issue, although it's on a Samsung Galaxy S (The First), on the Optus network in Australia, both stock before rooting the phone and then after rooting and reflashing to ICSSGS. I spent a few hours on the phone with their tech guys and they decided it was a handset issue, not a network problem. I don't think they actually understood the issue, so take that with a grain of salt..

Me too :/ galaxy s2 on CheckRom. Optus Network. Had this phone for a year now never had this problem,until the last couple of days.Did not change anything on my phone in those days.. Any fixes out there? Considering Gtalk is really important for me.
The issue goes away while on WIFI
So without even realising it until now, i've just found out that it's not only the google services that are being connected, but my data connection entirely!
Ok so i have a rooted galaxy note, and everything was working fine until earlier today when my phone simply STOPPED getting data.
I can make calls and send/receive text messages as long as they arent photos, but anything on the internet (google store, web browsing etc) does NOT work.
I thought flashing a new ROM would help, so i flashed the new Objection rom which went ok, but still no data.
i have reception bars, but no 4g LTE (which i was getting before, since we have it here)
any suggestions please??

So my HTC EVO 4G LTE has been treating me very nicely.. great battery life and CM10 is smooth as ever.. the kernel I have is great and I get a 2.0 GHz overclock without problems. The weirdest issue has been haunting me lately. On CyanogenMod 10, I am unable to use the 4G LTE service that is located on a tower about 150 feet away from me at this moment. The issue is that while the phone connects to the service and I can call and text, for some reason data never works. I get 4 bars that I could only get from this tower, and looking in the phone information section of *#*#4636#*#*, I see that the tower shows up as LTE. Now it used to be that on Sense, I could turn on airplane mode, wait about a minute, and then connect to 4G LTE.. but now not even airplane mode can get me connected to it. There should be no reason that the phone can't connect to the tower because the signal, when connected, is very very strong. Does anyone know of any potential fixes for this issue? It's been haunting me that I'm located here in Dallas with a 4G LTE phone on Sprint next to a known working 4G LTE tower and people around me with Samsung Galaxy S3s and other 4G LTE phones are connected but I can't. Thanks for your help in advance.
By the way, I did search the forums and surprisingly no one has an issue similar to this in any of the topics that I checked.

I installed the new radio from the OTA onto my phone and I thought it'd fix the problems but the problem was only temporarily fixed when I reflashed CM10. 4G LTE worked for a few hours.. but then after I went into a building, the signal dropped to 1 bar, turned on 3g, and call quality became utter crap.
I would post in deck's thread but I'm not sure the issue is specific to CM10.. I used a sense rom and for the first few hours of use it worked great and I would get strong LTE signal.. but after that I seemed to again be able to connect to the tower that's transmitting 4G LTE and in the network settings it would show up as LTE, but no data connection could be established.

They should have recognized it if it was an error. So calling sprint won't do much. There's an app called network in google play store. Has the option to switch to different bands, or a lot more than any stock program will let u switch to.
Try switching from CDMA auto to Evdo/LTE or the other LTE options and roaming bands they have on there and see if it helps. Hopefully someone with a fix will see this thread soon enough. Only other thing I can think of is the ##4636# (digits may be wrong)and switch some settings in there.

When i reflash the kernel, LTE will work for several hours, and then I get the gray bars of doom. Oddly, I still get a data connection with some apps (Reddit Is Fun, etc.), even though the phone shows no data. It's been so frustrating that I've considered going back to sense...

I tried paranoid, cm10, and aokp. I couldn't get lte on any of them. And phone calls were at max volume, distorting the speaker even, no matter where the actual volume indicator is.
Went back to a sense based rom and no problems.

I am having the exact same issue as you with the "Greg bars of death". I had good consistent 4g at one point in early September (possible unofficial 9/6 build based on saved speed tests) but not since then. I have also found that having LTE off gives me more reliable 3G data.

Join the club... it's the typical LTE connection issue with the EVO LTE. Its not your phone or updates. Even a 100% stock EVO LTE with all the updates has this issue.
Hey all,
A few weeks ago, I switched from MeanBean to Jelly-Bam ROM. At the time, I thought this was a Jelly-Bam issue, but I'm pretty sure it's not now. When I switched ROMs, I noticed that my data was slow. I work in Baltimore County, MD and lost my 4G signal. I have occasionally seen 4G at home since I noticed this issue, but it's rare. I typically only get 3G and often it's less than 1MB/s. I tried switching back to MeanBean and that didn't help (I had updated the radio before switching back, I would think that would only help). I have updated my radio (currently running 1.12.11.1210) and that hasn't helped. What made me think it's not the ROM is that my wife has a stock Evo 4G LTE and she also has slow data speeds. BUT, my brother has an S3, also on Sprint and in the same town and he's getting 4G fine. I do have my have my Network Mode set to LTE/CDMA (actually on Jelly-Bam it's LTE/CMDA/EvDo). I'm running Jelly Bam 7.8.0 (CyanogenMod version 10.1.0-RC2-jewel). Please let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions as to what could be the problem with my phone. If I can provide more information, let me know and I'll get it for you.
Thanks so much in advance.
Baltimore and supporting areas are still going thru LTE upgrades, it's still on-off for some areas. Annapolis is lit 100% as far as I can tell.

Is your evidence of the S3 pulling in 4G while your device does not anecdotal or have you performed a side-by-side comparison? The answer to this will help us narrow down your problem.

Unless things have gone backwards, I don't think that is the case. I used go get 4G in Baltimore. I've seen as high as 25MB/sec, maybe even higher. Now I don't see 4G ever down here. (I've seen it a few times at my home in York County, PA since this issue, but it doesn't last long and the fastest I've seen is maybe 5MB/sec. But most times its 3G and less than 1MB/sec.)

My evidence is based on my seeing absolutely no 4G at the time (I've seen a few few times briefly as noted in the post above.), while my brother who is less than 1 mile away see's great 4G (faster than his home wifi so over 15 MB/s). I have consistently had terrible speeds around town while he consistently has good speeds. No, we have not stood side by side and done a test, but I know how my signals used to be and how they should be and I'm nowhere near that.
I was actually near the Key Bridge last night and where I usually get LTE or at least have in the past, I got solid 3G, I tried airplane method and reboot, switching from CDMA back to LTE to no avail. Soon as I got back into Pasadena the LTE was solid. I never was sure about the differences between the Samsund devices vs. HTC but for me, the signal is sporadic which in the past has been due to Sprint upgrades. Hope it gets better and check out the SG4RU site for specific information about your area. Thru have a ton of info that will let you aware of the work and or upgrades in your specific area in Baltimore.

It just doesn't make sense to me that Sprint reception would decrease by so much and (as far as I can tell) completely lose 4G coverage at my work and mostly lose it at my home at the same time, while my brother continues to receive great service on his S3. I just don't see how that could happen.
Does anyone have any other ideas? Any ideas what could be wrong with my phone? Anything else I can update? Any settings for me to check that I might have missed? (I feel like I've check them all, but I'm up for anything at this point.)
Thanks in advance. This is driving me nuts.

I'd like to throw my own recent experience in here.
My wife has the OG Evo. I have the Evo LTE. While I do not get LTE in this area, I still get 3G coverage. The other day, out of the blue, my wife's 3G quit working and she has next to no service while I have solid coverage, and yes this is side by side.
Call me crazy right now because if what I am about to say, but I have this inkling of a feeling that Sprint is directly behind her almost completely losing signal in an area where 3 towers surround us to attempt to get one of us to call in, complain, and get coerced into an upgrade (she's due for one as of June 1st, go figure right?
I've noticed this happen whenever I was due for upgrades on my older phones too such as the Hero, Moment, etc... if I could pinpoint what they're doing, if they're doing anything, they'd be in some majorly serious ish.
So, I called Sprint and they walked me through #72786# update on my wife's phone. Apparently both of our phones were "off the network". We went through it for my wife's phone and it put it back on the network, whatever that means, but it didn't improve her service. They're now telling me our options are to take it to the nearest Sprint store with a repair center (the closest 2 are about an hour away each) or pay the shipping to return it to HTC.
They told me I could do the #72786# update on my phone and that it would not get rid of my root. Does anyone know this to be true? I'd like to try it on mine since they say it also is not "on the network". Because it does a firmware update, I wanted to check to see if that would interfere with the root access on my phone or my ability to gain root again, should I ever get rid of root.
Which brings me to my next question, if the above is safe for my rooted phone, I try it, and it does not work. How do I go about returning my phone to it's stock configuration? I've read a little about RUU, but haven't been able to figure out enough of it or where to get the RUU to feel comfortable doing it yet. If I do an RUU, will I be able to get my root (and s-off) rights back on my phone? How about if they try to bring my phone completely up-to-date? Is there a way to root currently up-to-date phones?
I know I've packed a lot of info and questions in there, but I would really appreciate any help and answers that people can give me. Thanks so much!!

Did your wife ever update her profile? I'm 99 percent sure sprint isn't cutting off her 3g. Check the link in my sig, bottom of post 1 faq, those steps will work for the og as well...

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, we just updated her profile via System Updates-->Update Profile. If there's more to it than that, let me know. I'll take a look at the link in your signature too.

Yeah there is quite a bit more to it. Is she rooted? Because that will help save her data if a hard reset (##786#) is in order...

No, she is not rooted. So for now, I figured I'd start with trying this on my phone. Unfortunately, the MSL reader app wasn't able to read it. I'm actually in an old version of my phone. I'm going to install my last backup and work from that since I'm somewhat hopeful this will fix my problem. I might as well do it from my latest ROM. I'll have that up in 10 minutes or less and I guess I'll try to work through your instructions...
If it works on my phone, I guess I'll go through it with my wife's then. I have everything important backed up on mine. I'll have to check hers real quick to make sure she doesn't have any recent pictures, but I think those should be on Dropbox. I assume it will tell me before I might have to do that so I'll know to double-check everything if it comes to that.
Sorry if I've asked any questions that are explained in the instructions...I just wanted to reply and now I'll continue reading through them.
Hard reset on your phone will wipe everything in data/app as well as your internal sd. Your external will be fine as well as your wife's external however she will lose all apps, sms, mms, call logs, bookmarks via stock app, as well as any system settings.

Note: All these fixes must be preformed on a stock or stock based rom with epst support and make sure you are in a known good signal area

So I should not be running these from my Jelly-Bam ROM? Or is that OK? If not, should I run an RUU will holding down volume while powering on and doing a factory reset work?
Thanks so much for your help!

As long as you have epst support you are fine. Just try one of the codes... If it works your golden.

I guess if it tries to dial and says "The feature code you have entered is invalid" or something like that, I'm not golden...

Sorry I'm not familiar with jelly bam is it sense based? You don't actually dial it the last # should activate it... Aosp roms will not work

Yeah, I didn't dial. But when I hit the last #, what I entered before goes away and nothing happens.
Will these changes stick through a new ROM update? I guess I'll try them on the last stock save I have and then try to restore my MeanBean ROM (the last ROM I had that worked with 4G...Jelly-BAM seems to be what broke it.).

Yes these will stick through Rom updates. I know epst works on meanbean, viper, operation jellybean, and the sense 5 port from my personal experience.

Update: 9/6
So after waiting what seemed like forever I got the call that the network ticket is closed and switched back to jellybeans b21 and like man of you guys suspected my data speeds are still normal. Guess it was just something to do with the way or amount or roms I flashed who knows
So I have been running various ROMs since release of the note 2 (maybe stock for about a week) and recently my data speeds on 3g started being really slow.
So I called Verizon support about it and they always gave me some run around about my coverage area had me do device resets ect...
Well It finally came down to them sending me a new sim card to see if it resolved the issue. After activating the sim I did some data tests and it was still slow around 120kbps.
This is when it got interesting the rep asked me for the Baseband version in the about phone settings to make sure I was running the newest software. Since I had updated the Radios manually I told her i605vramc3 just like I told the last rep that asked. She replied "That's odd that isn't what our system is showing" then she transferred me to the next level of tech support.
This rep decided to open a network ticket and asked a lot of questions about my preferred network and signal strength as well as some location information. He told me that network engineers would be looking at the towers and possibly running some remote diagnostics on my phone.
Fearing that the remote diagnostic would give away that I was rooted and running a custom ROM I shut down the phone and pulled the battery until I reverted to stock.
Now just for fun I loaded up speed test and where I was getting 75-100kbps I am now pulling a hearty 1500-2300kbps in the same place.
To be clear this is not just a problem I experienced with a single rom the problem persisted across about 5 ROMs PA, Aokp, Cleanrom ace, and Jelly beans as well as a few different kernels.
So my here is my question Is there some other explanation for this behavior? or Has Verizon figured out how to throttle data for ROM users?
Is Anyone else seeing this issue?
Once I am notified about the network ticket being closed I plan to re-root and start from my freshly updated system and see if there is any difference. I will update this post with my findings.
I think what fixed your device data speed was reflashing back to stock via odin. I have had wierd issues with data speeds flashing radios via recovery...a simple odin session always seems to fix it.
Have you tried flashing all of the roms you mentioned after going back to stock each time?
Im in the Louisville KY area and have consistently gotten between 40mbps to 65mbps. I've used cleanROM Jedi pacman tons of others. Not ran into a problem yet.
I've got some pics if you want proof. Holla!
Consistently. In Las Vegas and on cm10.2

Haha. I hate New Jersey. I live in PA thankfully. I think there is some type of interference at work. Calls are choppy too. Even with the signal strength at 70dbm. I can go a mile down the road and get 36-40 download speeds.

I have not seen this slowdown issue. But, I can see the cell tower ΒΌ mile away.
I am in Palatka Fl and the server is in Jacksonville.

I haven't tried flashing after going back to stock but I plan on doing so once the network ticket is closed on my account. I am just a bit freaked out by the possibility of them doing a remote diagnostic on my phone while on a rom
