Occasionally I have a random reboot. It happens when you flash with any regularity and I hop ROMs fairly often. Regardless of which ROM I'm on, sometimes after one of these reboots, my APNs will be gone and my phone has no network connection. I've tried re-entering my LTE configuration manually and it just disappears. I always have to reinstall the ROM in order to get them back. It's quite a nuisance.
If anybody could enlighten me as to just what the hell is going on here, I'd appreciate it.
Cheers!

Me too
I've had this issue on CM10 reboots. Nothing will get the APNs back or get them to stick without rebooting. Typically, if I don't see that I have a signal then another reboot will bring the APN settngs back. Scary, given past issues that I have seen with APNs fully disappearing (in Captivate) but, again, subsequent reboots bring them back, Have not been able to figure out any pattern or reason for it hapenning. The good news is that I have not exprienced in th day since I hve had CM10.1 On the ther hand, I have not had any random reboots either....:good:
I had that happen in a rom a few weeks ago ,all apn,s disappeared ,however after fixing permissions and then resetting the apn I was ok

I have a problem with with connectivity of my phone. I will have full 3g service but at times will not be able to load anything on the web. To correct this I have to continuously refresh till it connects or reboot my phone. On average this happens 2-3 times a day (usually will start to connect after I refresh the page a few times) and requires a reboot to correct about 2-3 times a week. I have had this problem while completely stock and while running various custom roms. I have called "tech" support at T-Mobile and so far they have been no help. They gave me a new sim, reset my service twice, master reset my phone, and told me to switch to Edge every time it happens to see if that helps. So far nothing. My local store said they are fixing the towers around my area because we are not seeing the speeds we should, but this happens on any location I am in around the city.
Is anyone else having this problem? Any help to fix this would be awesome!
Another, maybe associated problem, is I am not able to download any files to my phone. When trying to do so from any download site, when I select download nothing happens. I have Astro and have it selected to allow. When it does randomly decide it will download the file it will only download about 180kb and say its finished when the file is 180mb. Any ideas on why this is happening again would be awesome. Right now I am using Bionix 9 and have no problems with anything else. This happens no matter what rom I am using just like the connection problems.
If this has been answered already I am sorry but I could not find it just direct me that way and close this thread. I usually find what I need without posting as you can see from the lack of posts lol. Thanks again all!
I have the same problem. For example I will have full bars on 3g and market will say something about no network connection

I've had the same problem as well. Tmobile said to get a new SIM card, which i did. It helped a little bit, but every once in a while it will lose its connection. They are sending me a new phone, since I threatened to cancel service. I'm really hoping froyo will fix this problem.
Anyone else have this problem? I don't get calls from certain people. Sometimes I don't get sms that they send. My gf can't get a hold of me by calling and sometimes our sms don't arrive at the other end. We're both on verizon, she has a feature phone. I'm using a gingerbread rom now, but this problem happened with someone else on a different rom I was using months ago. That time too the other person was on verizon with a feature phone. I'm going to wipe and install Ivan's eris official to troubleshoot, the next step is to try and get verizon involved.
Sounds like the issues I had when my apn was "lost". Search for the "apn fix", it's in a ton of threads since most cm roms have had the issue.
Wrong forum BTW

could be that your phone is stuck in low memory state, try deleting all the apps you don't use, and boot into recovery and wiping dalvic cashe, reboot, might want to look into cashe2cashe

thanks for all the replies!
ianoob- i will try this, thanks for the info! i found .mak's apn fix here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684856
rigbyrobot- hmm... i keep my installs pretty lean, putting as many apps on the sd as possible.
Sparticusx- i considered that, but it does not explain the intermittent missing sms.
update: flashed ivan's eris official, gf's call went right through. next i flashed Ginn Tazz followed by gapps and .mak's apn fix and all seems well. thanks again!
~So I haven't really seen anyone else with this issue so I don't know how to fix it.
My phone likes to randomly not load things via internet. Mostly happens with ATT Data connections, but sometimes it happens with Wifi as well I believe (hasn't happened with wifi in a long time).
I can try and load a page and it will simply not load a thing for a good while (sometimes hours), then all of a sudden it will load like it's on a 10MB connection.
Happens with the internet browser, facebook, and any internet apps. Really gets annoying when I'm trying to browse the internet
I have tried different APNs to no avail, tried turning wifi on/off, changing all wifi settings, etc.
Anyone got any suggestions? (Maybe I'm just retarded and there's a well-known fix for this... at least I can hope right?)
Thanks
EDIT: It also used to never send MMS until I changed APN's if that makes any difference. Just not sure if its a software/setting issue, or if its hardware that needs to be replaced.
There are two APN settings, one of which is used by MMS. It sounds as if your APN settings might have been wrong at one point. What are your APN settings now?
Are you on a different ROM? Do you use a 3rd party app to disable and enable the data connection (to save power)? I know my app sometimes doesn't turn the data back on, so I have to go in and do it myself.
Is this your first phone with AT&T? If so, where did you transfer form? Did you have a data plan with your previous carrier? Did you buy your phone from Amazon?

My APN settings are the "phone" HSPA and "phone" MMS settings from the large thread in this forum.
The phone isn't even rooted. No different ROM, just a stock phone. No 3rd party apps that disable/enable data.

I've had ATT for a decade or so now. Phone bought and activated in an ATT store, and last phone I had was an iPhone, so whatever data plan that used was what I was previously using. I would assume they changed the plan to reflect the android device (if there is any difference), but I wouldn't really know because it is on our family account.
Anybody got any clue? This is really annoying the **** out of me. Also found out my brothers phone (on same family plan) is doing the same thing.

Maybe download Tweakker from the market; it automatically rewrites APN settings for your phone and carrier. CM7 uses wap.cingular, and I used Tweakker to change it from that. Worked, no probs, loved me long time, yada yada.
Thanks, just downloaded it. We'll see if it makes any difference.
Worked great until just now. Lost internet again. Thanks though.
Any other ideas?
i am on AOKP, not sure if you have the options to do the following in stock but try.
1.do you have the option of deleting APN? delete all...
2. force the phone to look for wireless carriers (takes like 4 minutes).
3. click on At&t to registet on it.
4. reboot and the original apn should be there.
I reset it back to the original APN but I dont expect it to help... I had the problem even before I started messing with the APN. We'll see how it goes though.
Any other suggestions are still welcome.
I have a similar, if not the same problem. I have concluded that it's either a modem/hardware issue or network issue. Every one and a while, I'll have to wait ~20 seconds for the internet. This always happens on AT&T data. Once the connection is made, the green and orange data indicators light up and the page loads just fine. Changing the APN's increases my internet speed by a lot, but does not fix the latency issue.
Someday I'll get around to calling AT&T.

Sounds like the same issue to me.
I keep thinking I should go to the ATT store but I really dont feel like having them do a reset of my phone then send me home without actually fixing anything.
Have you noticed what kind of connection you have? I don't use stock, so I haven't thoroughly tested this there, but I believe I experience the same issue. I'm running CyanogenMod 7, and what I see is that whenever the phone drops to 3G, I don't get data. I can force 2G (Edge), which works, and if I pick up HSPA+, I get data. If I'm in fairly sketchy signal areas (bad parts of buildings, fairly far from towers, etc.), I'll notice it flip-flopping back and forth between 3G and H+, with no data. I've never had an issue with wifi not properly loading anything.
I did try switching back to stock for a couple of hours, and it appeared my issues were more along the lines of what you describe, without actually displaying a flip to 3G when I can't get data...but like I said, I don't use stock on a regular basis.
NINJA EDIT: I'm on my second phone with this issue, after getting a refurb due to a USB port going bad. I've tried flashing multiple modems, and have been able to increase my speed, but have not been able to fix the issue when I drop to 3G.

Im in an area where I constantly get 4G or LTE... I haven't really noticed a correlation between the drops and whether or not its on 4G/LTE. I haven't experienced it on Wifi in a very long time though.
Also, the stock APN seems to magnify the problems greatly. Switched back to the Tweakker APN and it runs much better (although it still happens occasionally)
Had the same issue as you, try my guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576199 it seems to have helped many!

Hi, i have a photon 4g and so far iv tried cm7.2 cm9 and also the stock rom that came with the phone which was 2.3.5 198.6 i think but with all of them i get the same problem, i loose data at random times and the only way to get it back up is by restarting the phone. So far iv notice that when i loose data all my APN's dissapear too, so im getting nutz about this problem, so nutz that even the fact that i love this phone so freaking much i'm starting to think that i'll be selling it really soon, because i cant find a solution for this, i use GSM because im in venezuela, so please if anyone knows how to fix this DATA issue id really appreciated

That happens to me,too.
And it lasts for about 2 months,seems no solutions yet.:crying:
One possible reason I got is like: every time the phone encountered a signal problem,such as Airplane Mode,weak strength,etc.The phone react much faster than the SIM card,and then the sim card is not really initialized,the phone itself resumes up,and got a wrong MCC/MNC,both are 000.
No solutions on photons yet,because there seems no one works on Photons' framework.That could be changed by correcting the framework I think,because same problem happens on so many types of phones,such as ST18i.And both are resolved.:crying:
You can fine more information on CM's official website,there are many discussions on resolving other types of phones.

Hello there, I´m using the phone in Perú in a GSM network, with stock 2.3.4 and rooted. So far my MoPho has never lost the APN configuration. Are you only losing your 3g connection and your APN? Because I do lose my GSM signal sometimes in a day, but for some seconds only.
Hi, I am in Sweden and I am using miui 2.6.1 ics rom and I have no problems also I use a app called apn global its a quick way to set up apn's it reads your sim card.
GSM apns disappearing
Hi
I am on Cm9 aokp build 38 and i also had this issue of apns disappearing ( I am in India using GSM) The solution is to flash forceroaming.zip files from cm9 fixes files in this forum and flash it and restart it. If you dont see any apns manually you enter the apn value of your provider and save the settings and voila the problem is gone:highfive:. Sure this fixes the problem but I dont know how:fingers-crossed:. experienced guys may help but i am experiencing uniterrupted data after this
Used to have the disappearing apn problem for cm9... but since recently flashing to cm10, the disappearing has stopped... In the "Manage Apps", i noticed that the apndormancy service was stopped by default for cm10...probably thats what stops the apns from disapearing when phone "sleeps".. If theres an app that can freeze services and you can get it to freeze the apndormancy service, i think this would stop the disappearing.
Cm10 all data problems have been eliminated apns don't disappear. For cm9 you can flash forceroaming.zip

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.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
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!
This was the app that caused the issue: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tiranodroid.change.hostname
