Edit: Updated my radios, still having issues. More info in a thread below.
Hey all,
I recently started running leNoob CM9 mod, and I've noticed that my connection has bottomed out a bit. I normally would have 4-5 bars with little issue, now I'm lucky to have 1 or 2. I dropped a call earlier today, and I haven't had that happen in literal years.
Poking around I noticed there were radio versions better than what I'm currently using: (1.22.10.0421r, 1.22.10.0424r) but I'm completely unsure whether that's the problem here, or how to update them if it is.
I'm S-OFF, if that helps the solutions any.
Thanks for your time!
See the firmware thread in the dev section, you can update just your firmware/radios/etc and not have to run a RUU since you're s-off.

Yes, you can flash the hboot/radio combo by superchilpil, then flash a hacked hboot. Apophis has a thread with hex edited hboots.

I was going to make another thread for this, but hey, I saw this one I made a few days ago and it came in handy.
Since the last time I posted I did the firmware upgrade to the 2.xx radios, but that sadly did not help my issues any. My data connection will randomly drop in any situation; indoors, outdoors, whatever. I can flip my phone to airplane mode and back to restore the data connection, and it usually instantly hits 4-5 bar 4G. Unfortunately, not long after that it'll drop to 1 bar and sometimes stabilize back up to 4-5 and stay there for awhile.
Other times, it'll drop to 3G, 1x, or turn off altogether. 95% of the time it will then just stay off until I reboot the phone or hit airplane mode. The rest of the time it'll come back into 3G or more commonly 1x and stay there until it repeats the above drop process.
I've had this problem on all of the CM9 mods I've tried (currently running Rage 1.2). I've tried various network modes but I've had the greatest success of getting any signal on the LTE/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA setting; the LTE or CDMA / LTE only ever gets 1 bar ever, and never improves.
Before CM9 on Stock ICS I had 4-5 bars anywhere in my house, and even at work (the center of a very large building) I'd still have 2-3 bars and rock solid data connection. I have not yet tried going back to Stock to see if that fixes my issues, but I'm leaning that way unless anyone has some better options here.

I've also been seeing the exact same issue with my signal but since flashing the Global RUU and Rage. Previously I was on older radios and NeoMax and had high performance on the signals and battery life. Battery life has also dropped significantly since the Global RUU and Rage. :/

In Rage 1.2 at least, my screen-off battery life is almost bulletproof. 8 hours not on the charger and it only lost 3%. Screen-on time though is almost exactly the same as Stock, and that includes going to the Wheatley governor, sio, underclocking the CPU and cranking the screen brightness way down.
As far as the radio issue goes, somewhere in the Rage thread Neo mentioned that radios on AOSP roms atm are hit and miss; some people have no problems, some people have constant problems. Currently there's really nothing they can do about it IIRC, and we'll basically just have to wait until someone can pin down the problem. Either that or go back to a Sense based rom, to which I say, phooey!
Try flashing a ruu then doing a factory reset in hboot after before restoring recovery. Worked for me

Factory reset only wipes data....
And an ruu likely won't flash if it is corrupted.
Just check md5 anyway, as always.

i was hoping to get some ideas on ways to set up my phone to minimize random reboots on the new radio, I tried changing kernels but had no luck. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Rom/kernel version and if you are OC and if yes up to what? 4g/3g? And if on cdma or something else Thank you

I read that it isn't so much the phone, but rather the cell towers that were causing the random reboots (this was over in the TB General Forum)

I have found most reboots occur when over clocking past 1.3ghz due to voltage spikes or inadequate overvolting at 1.45 and up.
On cm7 and bamf I never had a reboot with either radio using imo kernels keeping oc under 1.42 and using smartass governor
Hope this helps
Usual location: West Los Angeles area
I have tried all combinations of radios and several roms available on XDA. I've never experienced a random reboot.
Baseband verison: 1.16.00.0402w_1
Kernel: bamf_4.4.7
build: Das Bamf 1.6.2 Remix
Software Number: 1.13.605.7
PRI Version: 1.41_002, 1.64_002 <- dunno if this matters for anything.
No overclock.
Can't think of anything else. I think I've been lucky.
Bone Stock and has never rebooted on me as of yet. I live in the outskirts of a 4G tower and it flips in and out. I do have a slightly better battery life compared to before the update.
I've also tried a bunch of combos with no reboots, but I mostly run leankernel "normal" and das bamf remix. Never a reboot.
I've never had a reboot using the latest radio (both the LTE and CDMA ones). Im just using BAMF Stripped and adrynalyne's 4.4.7 kernel without voice recording. No overclocking and ondemand governor. I think most of the reboots are probably just caused by overclocking/overheating.
i am running the BAMF roms. I upgraded my radio when it came out. I didnt have reboots for a week or so then i had random reboots and even had my phone just shut off a couple of times. I only have 3G and have the phone set to CDMA auto.
I changed the radio to the .7CDMA and .6LTE and havent had a reboot since?
In that time i also changed kernels and roms also, but did have a couple of days with the same rom/kernel after changing the radio to the .7/.6 combo.
I also did notice that my phone was on 3g revA even though it was set to use eHPRD. Verizon was messing with things and maybe that caused the reboots. Now that they turned eHPRD back on and pushed the update maybe they were the cause of the reboots and maybe it is fixed now?
I'm running the latest stock everything.. no random reboots in over 3 days.
I'm running the new firmware and radio, rooted and crapware removed, but otherwise stock. No reboots in my local area.
Having said that, running the same stuff, I was getting reboots last week when I was in the Indy area. Based on that, and the timeline of events, I think this is what's happening (I posted basically this yesterday? in another thread):
VZW started rolling out the update, and recognized an issue. That issue was caused by an incompatibility between the software on some cell sites (VZW uses at least Nortel, Motorola and Lucent 3G BSSs, Ericsson and Lucent for LTE, maybe others) and the new TB radio firmware. They believed the root cause to be with the eHRPD software on some cell sites.
So, they stopped the update rollout. They turned off eHRPD. They upgraded the software on the problematic cell sites. They turned eHRPD back on. They restarted the update rollout. That all fits with what we've seen.
I wasn't getting reboots before at home, and I'm not getting them now. I think I'm on a Nortel BSS. When I was getting the reboots in Indy, they stopped when I reverted to the older radio firmware. From that, I assume that VZW uses a different BSS vendor to cover the area of Indy I was in, and the problem was with interoperability of the new TB radio with that vendor's BSS.
People are apparently still getting reboots. It may be Verizon didn't really fix what they needed. It may be that they only fixed one type of BSS, and need to address the issue on another type. They may have only fixed one of multiple issues. It may actually be an issue with the phone's firmware. eHRPD/LTE are new, and this is just some pain they're going through. You find problems when you have 100,000 users that you don't when you have a few hundred.
I don't know whether I'd get reboots today if I went back to Indy and tried again with the new radio firmware. I didn't have any problems switching between old and new radio f/w running my mostly stock image - YMMV if you're running someone's "ROM."
You can get just the radio firmware in this thread.
Finally, I suspect the reboot is caused by something like: phone tries to switch modes or negotiate something with the BSS (we know they're trying to make transitions work better, and that was the claimed reason for the radio upgrade). BSS doesn't respond as the phone expects. Phone retries unsuccessfully X times, then finally gives up and reboots.
The reboots would not have been to bad because it was occasional but the battery drain that happens is what I didn't like. Thank you everyone for their feedback.

Heh, I just switched from BAMF 1.6.2 to CM7 alpha. Using latest radio leak and leanKernel extreme and I have had absolutely no reboots since switching ROMs.
(In no way should one infer from the previous statement that BAMF and/or Adrynalyne's kernels in any way definitively contributed to reboots. - I changed ROMs a day or so after the new firmware was pushed to unrooted phones.)
Literally, everything stock. I flashed the PB file flashboot, that's it. No reboots, and killer battery life. Half a battery got me through the day.
This is a replacement Thunderbolt...

Leankernel 2.4, bamf 1.6.3 remix with leaked OTA, live in LTE area but go into 3G frequently. No reboots ever. Not sure if this matters but I exchanged my phone a week ago due to the wireless radio getting stuck off. New one is working great so far.
I have been overclocked dice day one on this thunderbolt and started noticing random reboots and I'm not on the newest radio. The weird thigh is I got a random reboot each time I go to my parents place where the signal isn't great by at the same time the other day I returned to stock clock speeds and haven't had a random reboot yet. So its kinda hard to narrow it down. But I'm going with lack of voltage during overlcocming to be the cause. Besides I can't tell a real world difference in performabce when overclocked anyways. Btw I'm using 4.4.5 kernel by adrynalyn.
No root. Before the update I had to do a factory reset because I had to data making my phone basically be a paper weight.

So I flashed the leaked radio the other night after 2 early reboots everything settled down and was going good. I was using PS1.4 rom and ziggys 5/3 kernel and its default max1036/122 min and no OC app. Changed the setting to cdma(prl) cuz I dont live in a 4g area and shortly after I started getting reboots again. Then I changed it back to evdo/cdma auto then no reboots. But the searching for 4g was affecting battery life and I didn't see much of a difference between stock and leaked radio except the battery drain. Gps and everything seemed to be the same so I decided to flash back to the stock radio which has been more stable for me and I could keep it at the cdma(prl) setting which is better battery life for me...so ill probably stick to the stock radio until we get 4g. And that is my experience

FIXED: check out post #17
I didn't think posting this in each GB Rom thread and kernel thread would be appropriate so I'm starting here. Thanks in advance for any feedback!
Okay......After doing countless and wasted hours of searching and coming up empty handed, why is it that only a few of us are having the WIFI issue on the Gingerbread ROMs? It doesn't matter which ROM I use as soon as the screen cuts off, BAM, no WIFI or 3G data. And yes WIFI sleep policy is set to never and I've tried turning on Better WIFI performance and I've even tried every kernal out there, nothing works. FROYO ROMs are working fine so it's got to be either the Gingerbread ROMs or the Kernels.
Either way I'm okay with the issue not working (yet) and I understand that HTC hasn't released the source for the GB Kernel yet. All I would like is some clarification from the people that build these ROMs and Kernels that the WIFI is not working yet. I understand if you're in a 4G area, after all 4G is much faster than the WIFI anyway but for those of us not in a 4G area yet WIFI is king when at home or at work. So if the developers are using 4G constantly I understand the WIFI neglect, but I really don't think it's the developers. These guys are too smart to let something like that slide by! Can someone shed some light on the issue? Thanks again in advance!
This is not an issue with the leaked GB roms themselves or the latest kernels, because the wifi is working great for most people.
It is going to be helpful if you list which rom, kernel, and radio you are using. I did have a similar problem one time, my wifi was going to sleep when the screen turned off and went idle.
It had been working fine but I tried to take a shortcut and reflash the rom without wiping data because it was the same rom. After attempting that which was a bad idea but more of an experiment/learning session for me, I had exactly the problem that you stated.
After wiping my phone properly and flashing the rom, the problem was gone.
I have been running BAMF sence 3.0 with the MR2 radio. I tried MR2.5 and had some different small issues, MR2 has been working Great. Currently with BAMF 3.0 RC 3, the MR2 rom and the latest dreamKernel, everything is running perfectly, at least everything I use or thought of using.
The background data is extremely important for me because I communicate exclusively with my girlfriends using IM services such as gtalk with Trillian. So I wouldn't be able to run gingerbread if it wasn't working REALLY good.
Here's the thread that I use often as a resource. It discusses some issues similar to what you are dealing with, and is update very regularly
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1086518
I'm having an identical issue to the OP. Running BAMF GingerREMIX 2.1, Imoseyon's 3.3.8GBTest+ , MR2 radio.
Wifi just disconnects when screen is off. When I turn the screen on, i can see the wifi indicator is all black (similar to no bars). Once it's on for a second or two, it lights up again, and I get whatever notifications I missed due to no data(email, etc).
Ive done the 3x data, cache, and dalvik wipe before flashing the ROM and before flashing the Kernel. It's absolutely DESTROYING my battery life. Since noticing the problem, i've re-wiped and re-flashed everything, didn't help.
Thanks for the response...I'm stumped then because I have tried every combination of kernal/ROM that is available out of the Gingerbread leaks. I recently last night tried BAMF Sense 3.0 RC3 and GINGERTH3ORY V4.5.1 and BAMF 2.1 Remix again along with both MR2 and MR2.5 radios. Nothing worked so I went back to the reliable Perfect Storm 1.5 ROM and left my radio at MR2.5
Any suggestions? Thanks for the help!

I did try the gingeritis 1.0 3D with dreamkernel but not lean. Maybe I'll give that a shot this evening but I'm not holding my breath...lol I've tried almost everything and known combinations that are working for others and all the wipes I can muster, nothing is working.
Okay I've been trying Gingeritis 1.0 3d with the lean kernel for a few hours hours now. When my screen turns off I will receive emails for a few minutes but then I stop receiving them until I wake the the phone up. Once i wake the phone up i start receiving messages likevi just turned it on from a good nights sleep. Does anyone know what's going on?

I've actually had this problem also ever since i moved to the Gingerbread. When the screen turns off and i turn it back off after awhile, the WiFi seems like it was sleeping the entire time. I get all my notifications when i turn the screen back on. And i do believe this has been killing my battery life a bit. I have wiped before i flashed. I tried it with the original GB radio/MR2/MR2.5. I've flash different kernels. Wifi sleep is set to never.
Note: I tried running an app such as Pandora on while the screen was off and only in situations like this the WiFi doesn't have the problem.
tethering is ****ed up as well in gb, screen off, no tether, screen on and everything is okay. personally i think that something is ****ed up at the kernel, i switched back to froyo and problems went away.
For the record.....if I set wifi sleep policy to never when plugged in I still receive notifications instantly but it's through 3G because when I wake the phone 3g is active instead of wifi.

This is something I've brought up before too, but nobody addresses it because there probably isn't an answer about a whether it's the kernel or rom. I've just come to terms that I can't use wifi. For those who are suggesting we didn't clear data appropriately, that's not the issue. Most of us who have this wifi problem have been determined enough to try multiple clean installs to get to the bottom of this issue.

Shall I throw another quirk into our problem?............... I flashed CM7.1 RC1 early this morning. This is the best ROM I've put on my TBolt yet. WIFI seems to be working flawlessly except for right after the initial install it wouldn't download anything, through browser or even open the market. After a reboot, I'm going strong. I am receiving messages and data when phone's screen is off. I'm beginning to think that it might be a Sense 3.0 problem....any thoughts from the peanut gallery?
The problem with GB is that it is not official. The ROM is not final (or has been ported from a different phone), kernel is not final, and neither is the radio. We shouldn't be surprised that a lot of features don't work properly. Now cyanogen do their own Roms and kernels basically from scratch, and maybe that is why it's working. GB was fun to have, but i just switched to Froyo for faster 4g speeds, ability to tether properly and better battery life. I'll wait for the proper GB before switching again.
Yeah not Gingeritis 3d but the normal version.... I've noticed also that it seems settings don't change, Like I have turned off Haptic feedback yet still get it when i type on the keyboard, and still get weather sounds with the sounds turned off. This is every time I flash even with 5 wipes. Settings don't seem to stick.

For the keyboard not turning off haptic feedback, you have to go to the settings in the keyboard to disable it. Settings->Language and Keyboard->Touch Input->Text Input->Uncheck Vibrate While Typing.
WI FI Alternative
And I thought I was the only one having problems with wifi tether on gingeritis 3D. I posted a question in a different forum but no one answered me. So after trying different versions of wireless tether I found one that is working perfectly for me. It is wireless tether v2.0.5. I've been using it for 2 days with no issues and phone screen doesn't have to be on. Now, this may not work for everybody, like I said I tried different versions until I found the right one.
Here is the link: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
I hope this helps some of you.
Okay.......!!!!!!!! Thanks to the folks over at theMikMik.com (akaGingeritis ROMs) forums I now have working WiFi with the Gingeritis ROMs. Just download Advanced WiFi Lock from the Marketplace and set it up and you're good to go! Now that wasn't hard was it guys/gals? I've been looking for an answer for so long I can't even remember when I started....oh wait it was the first day that Gingerbread were available by these great developers!!!! Sorry, I didn't mean to vent, I'm not mad just very excited that now I can enjoy these Gingerbread ROMs. So everyone else that's having problems with the WiFi staying connected, download Advanced WiFi Lock from the Marketplace and get your Ginger on!
So is that the free version, or the paid version? You're finding that your WiFi now says connected even if the phone is sleeping? To do some more testing, I fully charged my phone, turned on my WiFi, and connected to my home wireless for 5 hours, just let the phone sit. Used 50% of my battery. Next day, same thing, but had WiFi off, 4g on. 5 hours later, used 15% of battery. Pretty sucky that I can't use my TB on my own home network.

I'm using the free version as the paid doesn't offer any extra features I needed. I left my phone connected to WiFi all night idle, about 7.5 hours, and only used 13% of battery and received all messages. I can't test on 4G so please provide feedback for others.

Not so lucky. Downloaded and installed advanced WiFi lock. Connected to my home wireless and see the same exact results. WiFi just sucking battery. Still draining at about 10% an hour on WiFi and about 3% an hour on 4g. I'm so confused over this, how is WiFi draining battery more than 4g? Phone isn't even usable on WiFi. Checking battery usage stats as noticed that the phone is constantly awake when WiFi is on.

Hi there
long time reader first time poster here...
searched and found nothing...
running the latest gingerbread AT&T official on a AT&T atrix (currently unlocked and running on the Rogers network in canada)
i seem to be having an issue with my Atrix lately(or at least been noticing).... normally when i am connected to the data networks fine, my signal meter and H+ are is blue...
what has been happening is if i leave the phone alone for some time (usually 20+), it just disconnects from the data services... all my signal meter and H+ meter turns grey... when i "wake" the device it takes a couple seconds to kick back to blue... when this is going on i go into my gtalk and i see it had signed me out and that its trying to sign me back in.... same thing with alot of other apps, like my issimo app, its been sign out, or hasnt received any new updates since it turned "grey".
how do i stop this? is this a bug? something wrong with the OS? will i have to reflash?
any thoughts on this would be appreciated!
thanks!
UPDATE:
had battery save mode on nighttime, so i thought that was the issue... so i changed it to performance and doing that had no effect at all... still losing data after a while of it being locked...
any ideas? could this maybe be some residual affects from a battery saver app i add?
i really would not like to reload the OS...
anyone got any ideas?
i'm finding any solution for the same problem, some atrix lose data signal, motorola says that is a software problem but i dont find a fix for that yet, any idea?
It's a software issue on Motorola's end. I'm having the same problem. I haven't flashed a custom ROM yet, but my friend had the same problem and he said when he flashed Gingerblur it was fixed.
when i seemed to notice it was when i had upgraded to gingerbread... so what i simply did was deleted my APN, rebooted and entered in the APN again, and that seemed to have solved it
@OP I don't use GTalk so I can't comment on that, but the signal than that you described is EXACTLY what my SGS does running on stock Froyo rooted.
I don't know if its more battery saving or what, but I tend to miss more calls in weaker signal areas when my phone has been on idle for a while.
I too am looking for a fix because of that. Also my Atrix sometimes acts the same way on Froyo, but I haven't used my Atrix in a while...

Shoot I was lucky to get 00.04 mbps download and 00.01 upload
When I reflashed the previous radio I got 05.00down 2 up mbps much better one

Yes I found this to be true as well. The new radio (1.77.36) dropped signal for me often and the speeds were lower than with 1.77.30

why not upgrade your radios to the latest AT&T has to offer? 1.97.00 see if that helps?
im having the same issue
anyone knows why this is happening? i have cyanogemod 7, i reflashed the phone, and when it started i restored but the problem just keep going
I have a very similar problem. When the H+ is lit up blue I have a network connection. But it will switch to grey then internet ect stops working ..still have signal (4 bars) any ideas why it keeps switching?
I've had the same issue ever since I first got my atrix. I've tried many different roms and it does it with every one. Ill have great signal n my browser will direct my to a no data connection page. I have to reboot or turn airplane mode off n on to get it going again. I have like a month left on my warranty gonna try n swap it out n see if a different one will fix the problem
a little backstory:
i recently came out of the dark ages. i was running a froyo rom (bamf remix 1.7) with the original stock radio.
roughly a week ago i flashed droidth3ory's blacksourc3 v2.1. then i immediately flashed the latest radio (GB radio from 2.11.605.0, 1.48.00.0817r, 0.001.78.0802w_3). shortly thereafter, DT released an update to blacksourc3 so i flashed that and am now running v2.2.1.
now, of course, i did a FULL wipe before the initial rom flash. booted into the rom and was, of course, getting no signal due to the outdated radio. flashed the radio and all was peachy keen.
flashed the update after a cache and dalvik wipe as well as a format of /system. still all was well.
now i finally get to the puzzling issue. all of a sudden, my battery is draining like crazy and i can barely get a decent 3g signal. sometimes i'm even dropping 3g altogether and only getting a 1x evdo signal or no signal at all.
i know i'm not in a 4g area, so i have my mobile network set to cdma/evdo auto. but i also know i'm definitely in a very strong 3g area. so what gives?
everything was working just fine, and i haven't done any tweaking at all other than some slight undervolting (which i've since undone and returned to kernel defaults.)
so stumped here. HELP!
forgot to mention that i have pulled the battery, re-seated both it and the sim card.
and i'm sure the battery door is on just as tight as it gets. i have a seidio active case (soft and hard shell) around the phone at all times anyway, so i don't see how the door could have ever gotten loose. (which it wasn't.)

will give the new radio a shot when i get back home and can drop it onto my sd card via usb. at the office at the moment and left the cable at home.
thanks for the heads up, dude!
fingers crossed that this will work and i won't have to mess with getting a replacement sim card (or worse yet a whole new phone!).

Download file manager from Market download it with your phone will be in downloads of SD card. Then you can rename it to PG01IMG.zip and move it to root of SD card and reboot to Hboot and you are Golden my good man.

would if i could, but i can't!
i can't maintain a data signal long enough to get the download finished. drop from 3g to 1x to nothing and back and forth and up and down. ugh...
new radio works great on my phone went from -100 to -80

so i'm just trying to delve into this signal and battery drain issue a little further.
i just flashed the new 906 radio. going into "about phone" and looking at actual signal strength is showing me at -69 to -75 dbm on average. (with 5 asu, but i'm not sure what asu is?) this should be plenty of signal strength, right? i mean -60 dbm is damn near four full bars, or so i thought. so why do i always only show as having 1 or 2? could it just be the accuracy of the signal bar gui in the rom i'm running? (dt's blacksourc3 v2.2.1)
speaking of which, if that's the case, is there any way to get more accurate signal bars?
still not sure if my battery drain issue is going to be resolved with this newest radio flash. will have to give it some time.
i should note that gps locks are super fast, inside of 10 seconds. just don't get what's going on here. :/
Yea AOSP always shows low signal

Hello,
I have been having some issues with the Gin-Sen-Tazz Rom for Eris. First of all, this ROM is AMAZING. It is extremely smooth and easy to OC my Eris on this one. The only problem is that my data just drops on its own. Now, I've been wanting to list this on the [FIX] 3g Data drops on GB Sense Roms Thread but couldn't due to my less than 10 posts (or post it on the actual Gin-Sen-Tazz ROM thread). I'm not sure if my problem is the same as those on the [FIX] 3g Data drops on GB Sense Roms Thread. I've done those steps but still it just drops. The way it does it, usually when the screen is off and after a while of inactivity, it just goes out (the whole 3g/data). As if I manually turned off the data. When I try to turn it on (either via the widget/shortcuts or through Settings) it just say "turning on..." but doesn't. I have reverted back to a different ROM but remember something saying about..."Radio" something something in the "Wireless Networks / Mobil Network" check box. The data will never turn on unless i Restart the phone and even then it turns off after a while. I've installed the ROM MANY times, done all the wipes, all the Reverting Back to Stock and all that and avoided doing the *228 AFTER the ROM install. I'm hoping one of you genius' who are inventing these things, and by the way - GREAT JOB! could help me out. Please let me know if I need to add something to this lengthy question.
Thanks!!!
Does data work alright when running stock 2.1 after flashing Flashback21 v2?
I'll post a link to your question in both the 3g data drop fix thread and the Gin-Sen-Tazz thread so more people can come and help you figure this out.
Thanks for putting this in the dev forums for us... I'll have to load up gst in the am and check, but if I'm not mistaken, there are some powersave settings that might affect that. I'll report back tomorrow.
thanks!

I'll do some digging around when I get a chance too. What radio are you using BTW? Not 100% certain its that but I know on inc certain radios don't play well with gb sense. I know when I was running gst with the hero radio I didn't have and data issues but I did with the radio from Eris ota. I'll do some digging though and see if I can find anything. One thing you can try in the meantime though. Instead of rebooting, have you tried switching airplane mode on for a few seconds then back off? Doing this usually got my data back on for me instead of having to reboot.

The 3g drop is a known issue w/that rom. It happened daily to me the entire time I was using that rom. If you reboot the phone, like the others said,you will get the data connection back. I think the airplane mode trick works too.

Yes, Sir. Works like a charm...I'm using xtraSENSE right now and it works great. I've noticed, you know how on some phones/ROM's you can go into settings and have it automatically turn off data after so long of not using it. I've had that option on my Thunderbolt (when the screen is off) and when you turn on the screen the data connects, well, its kind of like that, except, it never connects and the setting reads something like "Connecting to....." can't remember the rest. I've noticed the xtraSENSE automatically disconnects data but connects perfectly when I turn on the screen.
Thanks!

CS, yep I've tried the Airplane mode. When I do that, the mode turns on, when I turn it off, the data still does not connect...as far as Radio, I'm not sure where to find that (I even tried googling it). However, when I used that link to revert ALL back to stock and there was that option to do the radio thing as well, I did that step, too. I hope that helps and thanks a mill!

Yep, Powersave Settings lol that's the name I was looking for on my previous post. And that's a great way to explain it. I think, if that ROM had an option to turn that powersave feature off, I think that would be nice only because it would not turn off on its own. But that just seems more like a shortcut and I'm certain that, for you guys, its a piece of cake to get to the root of the glitch.
THanks!!

Yeah, I wish it'd work for me. Its a great ROM, I'd put up with it until it would get fixed.
yea post 3, 4 idk 5 more minutes
I'm ganna try turning the power save feature off on this Rom and see if that works. Great idea, never noticed that before. Only thing is for me it seems to happen more often when I receive a text or a phone call when my phones locked (or "off"). I did notice that when my phone is active and I'm using it, I see the data turn off (3g icon disappears) and I just get my phone signal, whenever I recieve a text or phone call. I have not noticed this before on other roms. But then again, I have been known to be very un-observent before....

Dunno if anyone is still following this thread, but I've had a small breakthrough with the data drop issue in the sense gb roms 3g drop issue. I had power saver mode disabled all day yesterday and my 3g never dropped! Still to early to say if this is actually working or if i was just lucky, but in my experience my 3g would drop at least 1 time a day and sometimes more. So far so good. I will report back again in a couple of days of testing to let you know if this is a working "fix".

Doesn't work, 3g dropped last night. Back to the drawing boards.

I was having those issues too...I actually switched to a different ROM because it was so bad. the new condemnedsoul and GSB don't do that anymore.
