so like it says when i use any wifi my cell signal goes away. when i turn off wifi, my signal goes back to full H+. i dont get why this happens but its getting annoying. it also does this with my wifes S3. anyone heard about this?? googles not helping out much
Maybe if you change rom, the problem will be solved, or so it would need
sorry for my bad english, i`m from romania
It's very simple.
When you turn on Wi-Fi, battery power or chip(I don't know exactly) need to split for Wi-Fi and mobile data.
Correct me if I am wrong
Sorry if you don't understand my English.

I need help with a problem and have first searched but didnt find the answer.My wifes Droid Eris WiFi just quit working all of a sudden.She was on wifi updating her facebook and it just quit working.I am able to hook to wifi on my Droid1 and my laptop can also hook to our wifi but she cant.
I have tried everything even flashing a new ROM to it and nothing works.Iam at a loss.I can flash a ROM and a few other minor things but I am not technologically savy.Can anyone please help?I am catching pure H.E.double hockey sticks and Im desperate here.Thanks in advance.
if she's on Verizon she should have a data plan, so turning off wifi and letting the network data take over would be a quick fix.
Thank you

We dont have unlimited data plans and thats why we use wifi for the majority of our internet usage.Ive tried just about everything I can think of and nothing works.

try restarting the phone, turning wifi on and off, making sure the wireless network is joined correctly (password, etc)

I have tried all that.Even tried connecting to my neighbors wifi to make sure it just wasnt our router.I can connect on my Droid and my laptop too.
Thanks everyone
I solved my own problem.So simple I feel like an idiot.I unplugged my modem and my router and plugged them both back in 2 minutes later and PRESTO....problem solved.
Woot!!! Glad you got it solved, mate.
So I just picked up a Thunderbolt from a local Verizon corporate store. The sales rep told me NOT to use WiFi on my phone because of an issue all Thunderbolts are having. She said once connected to WiFi, it won't be able to switch back to 3G unless you perform a factory reset. It sounds like a load of crappy to me, but I'd rather play it safe. Can anyone confirm or deny this out there? Thanks in advance!

I think I've read about a few people having that issue, but simply switching airplane mode on and off fixes it, I believe.
Pretty sure that rep didn't know what the hell she was talking about. I think it's a safe bet these and other boards would be blowing up if there was a problem as massive as that affecting ALL Thunderbolts.
And my wifi is fine!
yea mine doesnt want to switch back to 3g but a simple restart does the trick, and some vzw reps are idiots deff no factory reset
I use wifi all the time, no problems here.
I use WiFi at home and 3G when i'm at work, i have no problem switching between the two, the sales rep that you were talking to doesn't know what he was talking about

Same here no problems switching from wifi to 3G or to 4G
I've heard people complain about this, but the solution for now seems to be turning airplane mode on and back off. From what I've seen it's not a super common problem, I've never had an issue.
Yup, no problems here.

Sometimes my wifi stops working even when its been on all day. It shows its connected and I have a strong signal, but when I try to use an app that needs a connection the app wont connect. The only thing that fixes it is turning wifi off and back on again. On top of that I noticed huge drains on my battery when this happens.

same thing happens to me. then if I turn off my Wi-Fi sometimes to try and get a 3g connection it takes like 10-15 tries to get a data connection. And even sometimes when that happens I'll turn my Wi-Fi back on and my Wi-Fi acts buggy, doesn't connect... I'll have to try the airplane mode trick
I have the same problem. Changing the EPST setting as found from an Engadget Post:
HTC Thunderbolt 3G data problems solved?
By Myriam Joire posted Mar 30th 2011 7:43AM
Sort of fixed the problem. However, I rooted to Tesla Coil and now cannot use the "##778#" easter egg dialer anymore.
Just tried the Airplane mode and phone rebooted, doh. Again, after starting up WiFi, no 3G coverage.

No problems here. I use wifi 90% of the day. Although, strangly my router now shuts off its wifi signal ever since I bought this phone. I have to go into my router and setup the network again.

I'm looking to pick up a EVO 3D as my Desire decided to commit suicide.
It'll be a Rogers GSM version and next week I'm flying to Europe for a couple of weeks. With my Desire, running Oxygen, I could disable Mobile Data and keep WiFi on so I wouldn't need to worry about data roaming charges.
Since I don't have the unit yet, I thought I would ask before making the purchase and also because there's no ROMs for it yet that might add more options.
Thanks!

That doesn't really make sense.. because if there's a wifi signal, than the device other than the phone should just connect to the wifi router and not the phone.
WiFi tethering, to my understanding, is only beneficial if there's no wifi signal and then you can just use your phone's mobile data to browse the internet.

LOL....i'm sorry. I'm really just a noob asking stupid questions. I dont really know the difference between those connections. Thanks for the reply. i'm always looking for advantages and new ideas.
Im so pissed off at this phone. Supposed to be fast but my browsing experience sucks because of this delay between 3g/h+
Before I get flaimed I have read before, I tried fast dormancy off, I tried disabling H+ and putting 3g only but the same delay exists. I also tried putting the phone in wcdma mode so edge gets removed.
I don't know what to do, I came from an iphone 4 and although the pages load slower because of hardware I could actually see the data progress going and loading up, here my sgs2 just stands for 10 seconds doing nothing and then loads up the page fairly quick.
Sometimes it doesn't even load and says page could not be loaded even though I have the h+ icon on.
Now If anyone experiences this and has some sort of fix plz let me know.
Im running westcrip 9.6 with lph, and have had this issue in previous roms too.
My network is Claro Dominican republic
Thanks
I have a similar problem! In my case the phone suddenly switches from H to 3G, I don't know why, and then goes back to H. This happens while I'm using browser, generally when I activate data connection and I don't use anything, it remains on 3G
My problem is that sometimes the delay may be 2 seconds and its managable but then it can go up to 15 or not do anything at all.
Same problem, I thought it's ok, but if it's not, then how to manage your data, without any delays?
just in case for someone who might know how to fix your problem u should give them/us information about:
your rom
your kernel
your modem
rooted or not
ps. wrong section btw...

carrier and location (country) would be good too.
EDIT: whoops, saw it's in the first post. Sorry.
Its normal to go from G to H+ when data is in use. As soon as the phone detects that it needs to access the network, it will achieve the H+ connection. Apparently it will kill the battery if its always on H+. This, I understand. But the part I do not understand is the delay from G to H+. I am not sure if its a carrier issue for most of us, or the phone itself. I am assuming its a carrier issue though as it has happened on every ROM or Modem I have tried from personal experience. Not sure about the OP. It does seem to take some time at times to get from G to H+ - upwards of 15 seconds or more. Also, if it can't get H+, it will not browse at all on 3G

I get the same issue with the 3G. It won't load anything on 3G connection but as soon as it switches to H or H+ it starts to load.

Yep, same problem in Moscow. It's probably related to device, nor to carrier. Kinda odd.

I don't think so. Seems to be a device issue. I just took a look at my Blackberry Bold 9900 I use for work and it always has H+. It doesn't go to 3G and then to H+ like the SGS2 does. And when I browse on that, its always ready to go, no delay. Not sure why our SGS2 needs to handshake H+ everytime
In my case it seems to depend upon the modem I use. kL1 works really well, however when I trialed ICS it was really slow as described.
Also, far less related, as for the mention of browsing, I use Dolphin and find that it seems to be much slower at either DNS lookups or redirects or something.
It's most likely because of your carriers settings. There's nothing you can do unless you call them questions about what their policy is at their end on data connectivity.
hi everybody, because of the huge battery drain,(because the phone stays always on H+), i would like to change it to go full edge, because as i always using a pc or near of one, edge is perfect, for the notifications and that stuff.
currently im using the "Super Nexus Build 4, and his kernel([email protected])",
when i go to options and enable the 2G option, it works, but after an hour or so, it goes back to 3g, and a couple of minutes later, it stays again on H+
i tried changing the Band selection, and selecting just GSM(because im from south america), but nothing changes...
any suggestion?
Thanks!

Turn off packet data

He wants data, just slow. But it won't help him.
OP, your problem isn't staying on 2G vs 3G, unless you have VERY bad 3G reception - switching to 2G only won't help. Look for the reason of your battery drain, check if your data connection is used excessively and by what app.

i always have good signal, but when i reach a point where the signal decrease, but alot, i mean, from 4 bars to 1, the edge connection goes into 3g, and therefore to h+ and stays on there.
dunno what else to do.

As Jack_R1 said, you need to find the cause of your battery drain. If your data connection is actively downloading something, then you have something running in the background that is pulling data constantly. Switching to 2g will not make a significant difference in your battery usage.
If your signal is bouncing between H and 3g or edge, this will drain your battery. A few roms have a built in toggle. TASKS aokp has it. I use it all the time and I can make my phone last 2 days with it being on edge
