Lately I have been facing a problem.
Any CM10 rom I flash, both WiFi and Data signal icons are grey instead of blue indicating some misbehavior.
For example, WiFi works for browser but not for any other application (Play store, Gmail, Facebook, etc etc).
Data also has problems. It seems to make calls but I don't receive any, as well as sms.
I tried using different recoveries when flashing.
I tried going back to ICS to flash bootloader etc and then go to CM10, problem persists.
After 4-5 tries, it somehow worked but then I had to go back to Samsung rom and now can't get back to CM10.
Any ideas?

Dude, try flashing a different modem!
I have the same issue with with the icons grey (20%) time. Doesn't affect data transmission but I'm curious as it to what it may indicate. Cm10

I flashed a different modem and things are MUCH better. Before it was 98% grey.
Now, like you, it's 20% or less.
Still I am having huge battery drain which I believe is caused by the modem.
Check if "Android OS" is high on the battery (Settings > Battery) list.
Also, betterbatterystats (or free version on XDA).
After 10 hours of boot time, it show 8+ hours were used by : No Data Connection and No or Unknown Signal!
Thread moved to Q & A section, post in the relevant section next time.
It means you are not connected to googles servers, that's why playstore doesn't work

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.

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 :
Since installing MIUI 1.6.24.1 I do not have internet/data access on my phone.
I can make/receive phone calls and txts, however I cannot connect to Google or Android Market.
I have tried EA28, EC01, and EC09 modems with multiple battery pulls (both plugged in and not) between each with no effect.
When trying to input my account info for Market I get "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server." Normally (on UKB 2.1) I have full service at my desk. My "3G" icon is constantly flickering on and off and under About Phone 3G Service only stays connected for a second then switches back to "Connecting".
Am I missing something?
Jp
Update: Solution found - See Post #25
Dial *228. The keypad won't pop up so hold menu and press 1 on the keyboard to reprogram your phone. I had that happen this morning. I didn't realize I didn't have internet since I was using wifi all night after I flashed it. The voice prompt will tell you it succeeded but the UI will say it failed. You'll lose service. Just reboot. Worst case scenario, if you still don't have any service at all shut down then pull the battery. Boot back up and you should be good.
Still no Internet.
My 3G connection only ever stays active for 8 sec.
I am currently on EC09 Radio which I really havent used much. However, I have found that for me EA28 was usually the most reliable Radio. Is it possible that EC09 just doesn't work well for me here?
Jp
That's definitely not the same issue I was having. My 3G icon stayed on the screen but all my apps simply told me I had no internet. The 3G icon never went away on me. Sorry I can't help you further. Maybe somebody else has some insight. Try reinstalling and possibly a new radio like you said.
You should try a new radio, I'm currently on Ed04 and I have had no problems with Internet.

That sounds more like the issue Crashspeeder described, you may only need to reactivate your phone. My data appears to be going down every 8 seconds.

ED04 has same issue on both MIUI and CM7, I am beginning to think it has nothing to do with the modem.
Jp
Keep in mind that CM7 MTD and MIUI MTD are essentially the same rom since MIUI MTD is based on CM7 MTD so I'm not sure your assessment is entirely correct. It may be that ED04 isn't compatible with these two roms. I'm on EB01 (yea, dinosaur) and it's working fine.
I did reactivate my phone but using *22804 for cricket in my area and one of the times it said failed I lost data pulled battery rebooted got it and still nothing ....and another it said success and still a no go
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Well I can cross off EC01, EA28, EC09, ED04, and now EB01 as things I've tried. None of them worked. That is my reasoning as to why I think it is unrelated to the radio.
Well, I guess I'll keep playing with it for a bit and try all the other radios I can get ahold of.

Hah. I would've stopped at 3. I think you've proven it's not the modem. I assume you tried reinstalling and still nothing. Not sure what could be going on

Yeah after flashing Miui and losing data I Odined back to stock and still got the same ..no data ... I'm on Cricket which is like Metro
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I've been screwing with this all day. I have both the 3q flicker and sometimes it stays on but the arrows don't flash. either way no data. Flashed back to stock and data works. Also works on comrom with the last 3 radios (including the new ec09 leak).
otherwise the install went well for everything (both muiu and cyanogen). MUIU was a pain because i couldn't find terminal emulator but then had an idiot moment when i found it in the power menu but it didn't work, 3 of the 4 reboots did the same thing. hot boot was the only one that did anything different.
I've used the stock kernel and the OTB kernel. Same story both times. I'm not sure what other info would be relevant but I'm happy to help diagnose this problem. Getting a new fascinate because I was one of those who the ESN swap didn't fix my other data problems (cut out and slow). Maybe that's a lead? Anyway, i'll have a backup phone for a couple days if I want to mess with it without worry.
thanks for all the help and work. I like it a lot, it's super quick!
I'll just use it as is for today, but when I wake up tomorrow I'll flash back to Evil or com rom see if my data comes back. If data hasnt comeback when I flash back I'll check my data settings with QPST 2.7 and if need be I'll re-flash the data settings with Miui installed.
I had the same issue after flashing the latest MIUI build. Even after rebooting twice I still had no data connection. Oddly enough after doing a battery pull, then holding the power button down to clear any residual power; it started working again.
Update, I work graveyard so I decided to do it before i go to bed, anyway I flashed back to stock and as slow and pathetic as it is... data is working. I'm flashing evil as I type.......wait for it......."convert data patition , back up operation, blah blah blah Two Minutes" ..........*stares blindly at Samsung logo* OK! Evil is up and running with data which means something about miui and CM7 is breaking our data .
*warning, rant-ish*
I would hate to not be able to go back to Miui, I had my theme made up of of a custom Ore no Imouto icons everywhere *ashamed* with a custom font and a sweet HTC bootloading screen with the Fringe intro song Maybe data isn't too big of a deal besides who needs pandora, tapatalk, email, OMG! my precious Fantasy sport teams...... wait a sec, the NFL is still on lock out. Fellas we need to find a fix for this, preferably before the next NFL season.....My Solid Snakes HAVE to be back to back champs
So, a quick update...
First off, my Nandroid backup of UKB 2.1 is apparently corrupted or something because after flashing/repartitioning with EB01, I couldn't do a restore. So basically, I'm stuck with either MIUI with no data or rebuilding UKB 2.1 from scratch which undoubtedly will be a real pain.
Second, my data has now worked once. I was able to open Google today after my phone had been off for several hours. When I booted my phone up it was first stuck in Airplane Mode so I powered down and pulled the battery. When I booted back up, my data worked, I was able to load Google in the browser and when I searched for "test" it failed. It got part way into loading my search results when it crashed out.
So, it looks like I'm going to just stick with MIUI for the time being and just do without the data when I'm off WIFI.
The only thing unusual about my setup is that I am using the extended battery. It is the standard VZW 2200 mAh not any of the 3rd Party ones but I guess that could be making a difference.
If any developers want to see any logs or anything just let me know what commands I should run and I'll post the results.
Jp
With all cyanogen mod you sometime lose data after you poweroff your phone. Try rebooting or battery pull. If that doesnt work, you probly gonna need a new phone. I dont think its modem or rom related. The phone data anttena is done.

searched, no find.
I have two consistent issues.
1 - When retrieving sites requiring a login, or when logging into LastPass, if I can get to the "Processing..." popup, it will hang and sit. Sometimes it will complete Processing... after a couple minutes, and sometimes it will continue until I kill the app. This issue is frequent, so restarting the app is not an acceptable workaround.
2 - When loading a page it will often do the same but without a popup. It will take forever to load, sometimes not at all. Occasionally I can reload the page and it will work, occasionally it will not load at until I reboot the phone or something.
these issues seem to occur frequently on home wifi. my PC, also on wifi, will load from these servers instantly.
i have had the issue on the following:
stock
Unnamed latest
Shostock latest
entropy dd latest, and last two
siyah latest and previous
with/without overclocking
with/without data enabled
affects all browsers, lastpass, tapatalk, xda premium, etc, etc.
caches cleared, including dalvik
no stress on the phone, running usually 250-500MB RAM only.
any ideas? the phone is basically unusable as a smartphone at home. the issues may or may not be as bad on regular data. TIA.
one more try... anyone help with this issue?
You state that this is mostly happening on your home Wi-Fi connection; is it possible that you have some sort of QoS / traffic shaping setup on your wireless AP / router that may be resulting in this condition? Also, do you have any of this type of behavior on cellular 3G or other Wi-FI connected networks?

thanks for the reply.
the issue is inconsistent even at home. i have been watching for causal conditions but not finding anything yet. it does not appear to be my wifi. no other devices have ever had any kind of problem, and there have been many (i share the my wpa2 wifi with neighbors as well, many smartphones, etc). yes, the issue frequently affects me off wifi on data. and yes, it occurs at my office wifi as well. but the intermittent nature makes me think it's something with the phone's software, which is why i'm focused on figuring this out here. when it rains it pours, and i will have to reboot the phone, not just kill my browser or other app, in order to connect. sometimes rebooting more than once is required.
Have you tried a 'wipe data / factory reset' in ClockworkMod Recovery?
yes, i did actually. the issue is happening even loading basic google searches out on H+. the page will usually load, but will take literally 3+ minutes to load it. i'm not sure what's going on but it seems there's something going on between me and the servers that is hanging my data retrieval. i'm mystified. but the phone is literally stuck on page loads & data retrieval about 70% of the time. i don't have any weird software running in the bg either. pretty basic Entropy DD (tried the last 2) and ShoStock latest. is it possible there is some hidden settings somewhere i can look at? i have scoured all available settings on the phone, but there's gotta be something deeper i can look at. any recommended system tweak apps for this?

ok, mine is a refurb, but has not appeared to have even a single hardware issue. guess i'll continue to cycle new software and see if this eventually irons out. next step is to get more into the system settings and investigate. my initial guess is my phone is sending repeated requests in the background.
if anyone is interested, i may have found the problem. i'm no networking guru, but i changed my phone's DNS settings to OpenDNS's servers like my home router's config. previously my phone was using Google's DNS servers. after changing the phone to OpenDNS loads are consistent and snappy like every other box in the house. keeping an eye, but so far so good.

Now this morning i disable airplane off and fast charger off,and i enable my data and roaming, after that i try to get on play store,and it stock on loading with the circle going around,after couple seconds it says connection timeout. I dint pay attention to it, i left it alone.later on i try to use the Facebook app i couldn't it stock on loanding and after couple minutes it says network error. I went to my browser and search something on Google and it was working. I search the letters b,c,d just to check if it was my network. But it turn out that it wasn't my network at lease that's what I'm thinking.so i had some twrp backups from different ROMs and in all of them it still the same problem. I can use the internet to search even i can use xda and i can download ROMs but i cant use the data on any gapps. Or even the Google voice on the stock,opera,chrome,Firefox,dolphin browser. Not even gmails or Facebook. Yes my apn settings are correct.my accespoint is selected in my network.by the way i use net10. I search on Google about this problem but it just show different problems with the network nothing related to my issue. Help in need! Remember all this happen after flashing the kernel #31. Just to get this clear im not blaming this on the kernel because i don't even know if the kernel have to do anything with this,since I'm the online with this issue .but i came here because this the only thing i flashed last night. Any help will be appreciated guys/girls.

Hi, I'm using i9100 running:
SlimBean 4.2.2 build 3
Baseband i9100XXLPX
I have been encountering some weird issues with the different colour of the signal bars when blue and grey (both in wifi and mobile data). I have read a whole bunch of threads about this and am pretty sure of a couple of things:
1. Blue = connected to a network and in touch with google servers
2. Grey = connected to a network and not in touch with google servers (you may or may not have internet connectivity with grey)
So when I'm blue everything is fine and works as expected. Except this doesn't happen all the time, when I'm on mobile network only it generally is blue but sometimes isn't. When I connect to wifi networks about 50% of the time (whether or not I have to do some web based authentication after connecting) the wifi signal is grey.
When this happens sometimes I can use web browsing fine, but google play won't work. Sometimes I can use both. Sometimes no internet connectivity, also when this happens if I switch to mobile data they bars remain grey and no connectivity.
Is there a fix or workaround for this as it's very irritating and it also only seems to rear it's ugly head when I really need to use data for something important and works fine when other times just to troll me.
Things I have tried:
Clearing data from google framework services and google play and then rebooting, but didn't work.
Any help or insight would be most appreciated. Lots of people just seem to post what I said in 1 and 2 but don't seem to recognize that there is a problem with the lack of connectivity sometimes when icons are grey.
Thanks
Sadly I'm having the same issue. No fix yet? I'm running slimbean 4.2 cause build 5 gps is broke
Have you tried changing your modem? A good start would be LP4, but every modem is different for everyone. Also, when the WiFi icon is grey for me, nothing loads. When it is blue, it does load. To fix this for me, I just reset the router/booster, and it will work fine. Annoying I know, but at least it's a workaround.
