Hi all, I'm running Neutrino ROM 2.91 on my atrix 4g, and I often have a problem where my phone disconnects from wi-fi when it's been idle for a few minutes. In order to make it re-connect, I have to go to Settings > Wi-Fi, and then it automatically does at that point. From what I can tell, there aren't any settings that would cause the phone to do that. Additionally, I have my Mobile Network connection turned off (it's unlocked using T-Mobile so all I get is edge anyway). I'm not sure if it matters but I'm using Go Launcher EX. Any idea how I could fix that? I've tried a permissions fix but that doesn't appear to have done anything.
Also, this is a totally separate question, but when I back up my ROM using CWM, does each backup create a new, separate image? Or does it erase the older one and replace it with the newest iteration?
Thanks!
Edit: I should add wrt the original question - this is a different issue from the wifi "error" people seem to have been getting (I have not experienced that problem). Also, this happens on any network I'm connected to, so it's not just my home network.
Its a problem with all custom roms since forever on the atrix.
Only solution is to turn wifi sleep off or make a shortcut to wifi setting on home.
Also cwm makes seperate Inge files with different folder dates. You can't rename the dated folders or they will stop working

Thanks for the quick response. That's unfortunate, but I think I'll use that workaround.

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 :
i searched this thread and could not find anyone with my problem. i flashed several times and no data and no signal bars though calls do come in and wifi is working. can anyone help me? thank you!!!

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.

Hello,
I was wondering if there was a How-To thread on doing this? Or could someone help me do this? I couldn't find any from my search's.
Current ROM: δ-HyperDroid-Androidmeda-v3.0 (with petsaj's surgeon)
This feature is already there in the Hyperdroid + petsaj surgeon combo I use. The reason I ask on a how-to for this is because, for some reason, custom ROM's that have this particular feature are the only one's I can use to get 3g data connectivity. Otherwise, I always get this irritating "Refreshing SIM data" pop up, which eats up battery, and heats up the back of the phone.
I'm still not a 100% on whether this would be the actual reason, or whether its a an issue with my carrier, but i want to give it a try so i can know for certain.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Arjun.
Im on Revolution ROM, and it has this feature. Try it c:

Thanks. But I'd like to find out how to do it myself; to test and see if this is whats causing issues with 3g data connectivity for me. I think even Simple & Clean v2.x has this, and so do a few others.
But I don't think MIUI ROM's have this (not sure about this again - from the MIUI's I've tried, doesn't seem like they do).
My main concern has to do with 3g.
Thanks again.
Sorry to bump this. I didn't want to create another thread with the same question.
Hopefully someone from Hyperdroid would see this.
It's as simple as changing some png's... Download my surgeon, navigate to /vrtheme/SystemUI.apk and see which ones are blue and which ones are grey.
Thanks petsasj.
Will try it once I'm back from work.

Ok. I was just having a look at the pngs in the Androidmeda 5.2.xx and the pngs in /vrtheme/SystemUI.apk (of your surgeon). Only difference I see is the colours are green in the base while they blue in the surgeon.
I dont think this could be the coz of my 3g issues.
Petsasj: any idea why I am able to use 3g only after flashing your surgeon? Like i said before, if i flash the base ROM (or any ROM for that matter), either of two things will happen:
1. In GSM/WCDMA mode, it'll search for my 3G network -> the 3G icon shows up, and instantly disappears. I am still connected to my 3G network, but there is no data connection. On checking the "Status" in Settings it shows up as Mobile Network->Connecting.
2. In GSM/WCDMA mode, it'll search and connect to my 3G network -> there wont be a 3G data connection. "Status" in Settings says Disconnected.
For both the above instances, this "Refreshing SIM data" pop-up keeps on coming. The phone heats up at the back - battery goes down the drain! Very annoying. 2g works though (with data connectivity).
But if I flash your surgeon (and only your surgeon btw, the other surgeons dont help me with this issue ), everything works! 3G, 2G, switching between the two... !
Would u have any idea as to whats causing this??
Arjun.
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:
http://www.multiupload.com/7CEDYMOSRZ
I already downgraded. I prefer GB personally.
I am having a peculiar issue. My Wi-Fi drops out and then reconnects every 30-45 minutes or so. I have the latest version of the ROM, flashed the boot.img in the thread, but it still doesn't fix my issue. It doesn't matter how far I am away from the signal, it just drops out temporarily, and then reconnects. I can't explain it. Other than that, it seems to be working great, but before I rooted and flashed, I never had any issues of any kind with the WiFi.
Also, it may be worth noting that I don't know for sure yet, but it may also turn on the WiFi automatically even though I have it set not to. Sometimes when I am out and about, I'll get a popup saying that WiFi networks were found nearby, do you want to connect etc...
Any help will be appreciated, I love this ROM and can't see myself going back on stock but this is a pretty cumbersome issue...
Re: WiFi Issue On Venom
Have you tried it out on other routers?
And fir the asking to join networks, there is a setting in wifi>advance for that.

About the only thing that I haven't tried is another router, but the other devices on the network don't seem to be having any issues. Then again, it is an Airport, so...Yeah, I won't fully know until I get a chance to test it elsewhere...
But I know about the advanced setting and have it disabled. That's why I'm wondering it its something in the ROM or something that I did wrong that it keeps trying to come come back. My guess is that it's disconnecting the mobile network and resetting it, just as it is doing on the WiFi...
Update
Just in case someone else runs into this issue, the problem was with an app that I used to change my host name. It would intermittently interrupt my connection trying to do that. I uninstalled it and edited my build.prop file the old fashioned way. The issue didn't have anything to do with Venom, just the fact that I had rooted and tried new things.
Thanks for your help!
