I have a rooted vibrant running stock Tom with the j16 update and my 3g works intermittently at best. Is there any fix I can do myself?? Its understandable if I were in a cave but I'm getting full bars and my signal strength is -89 dbm 12 Asus. Please please anyone. I'm almost to the point where I'm about to call T-Mobile and see if they can switch me out a different phone. I hate the idea of paying for the web and nit being able to use it. BTW, if I pull my battery off and restart the data connection will work for about 10 mibs

I'm interested to see the answer/suggestions as well, I've been having the same issue.
It will work then not, a restart or going into flight mode and back will get it working for awhile. It does it over Wi-Fi too..(Sound familiar?)........... It's done it stock, rooted with OCLF, with ji6 and now even with Bionix 1.9
Yeah I mean my wifi works all the time but now even when I do the airplane mode it doesn't bring back my 3g data connection. Its driving me bat **** tho. How about u?

How good it the 3G coverage in your area?
Try a market app called Map Viewer. At home I'm out of 3G coverage.
OK I will try to download it and let you know

Do a factory data reset.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
well I found out from the map that my 3g coverage system work is supposedly non existence. Go figure. So I'm basically getting snippets of it. If I do a factory reset I will lose all my info right? And when you say reset do u mean using Odin and flashing stock 2.1?

Do it from the phone settings, privacy. Yes, u will loose all yr apps, but save them using appsaver from android market first. Your new rom update will still be there. Hope this helps. Thats what I did to correct my 3g issue, just like what you described.

thank u I will try that

just throwing this idea out there. tmobile could be doing tower work in your area. i experienced this for awhile where data was just iffy and wasnt very reliable. this may happen on and off for a few days.
Speed Test was showing a download speed of 0.06mbps and an upload of 0.10mpbs. I'm running Bionix V 1.2. Girlfriends Vibrant running 2.1 official (no hacked roms/kernels) is getting download speeds over 2.5mpbs on the download and upload is at around 1.10mpbs.
Does anyone know what the **** is going on? Pardon my language but this has been frustrating me all day, Pandora is dipping in and out, practically unlistenable and the browsing speed is been horrible.
I'm ready to just flash this back to stock and do this all over again but I'd really prefer an alternative...
I would try flashing a different modem. It seems like that would clear any issues up.

Sounds like you're throttled. Check how much data you have used.

He's right u could be throttle normally T Mobile will send u a txt message to let u know they throttle ur data speeds.

Yeah, I'm getting pretty good speeds with Bionix v 1.2. (2.5mb down) It could be you are getting poor reception with the new modem though, but I'm guessing you are throttled just like everyone else suggested.
after my first reboot with 1.2 my speeds were very poor, like .2 down, .3 up. Then I rebooted again and I'm back to where I should be. Check to make sure you're not throttled and give it a reboot.
Take a deep breath and reboot.
I had a similar issue and called tmob; they reset my connection (?) And told me I could pull my battery and wait ten minutes then boot up to fix it also.
My issue: I was unable to get any 3g connection and it wouldn't switch to edge. I switched to gsm manually and edge worked. I'm not clear on why it happened though or why switching to gsm manually worked. (I'm stock and this all happened before the froyo update)

I am having problem in accessing mobile data from day I started using JB leaks. I am getting H+ signal but not internet. It works some times. May be it's just coincidence. Is anyone having this problem?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
i dont believe there have been many threads reguarding your issue....of having a network but with no internet.
i assume you have run down the typical trouble shooting
APNS
MODEMS
ECT....
Oh, and when you switch back to ICS does it start working agian?
APN looks fine.
I am using the Odin version of LI5.
Going back to ICS - Naaah. ...

I'm having a very similar problem on my UK handset on orange running latest jellybean Rom.
There are times when I am trying to load an internet page or xda subscribed thread for example and the phone shows full signal and the data is switching between 3g and h+ on and off and the arrows show nothing happening or data transfer.
I normally end up exiting the page/app and restarting it.
Is this a modem problem? Do I need to flash a different one?

I've noticed lately I'll be able to connect to data one minute and the next I don't.. even though I have full bars and the 4G icon is spewing its orange lines... only thing that fixes this is a reboot, then magically I have connection again.
I'm running stock 11c... anyone else have this issue?
My wife had the same problem a couple days ago. Our rom is stock 10o. At least this phone boots a lot faster than my old atrix.

I've experienced that as well. I'm currently using the ported stock Jelly Bean Rom and I have the 4GLTE symbol with the orange bars but when I try to load a YouTube video, it'll keep loading without showing the video. But when I reboot, it'll start it, but then when I want to watch another, it will just keep loading. I can still load up the Internet and the xda app but I can't watch videos.
Edit: So it's not that it won't load videos, it just takes a long time. I believe it's just not receiving LTE like is has before.

You may have tried this, since you mentioned the only thing that fixes the data connection is a reboot, but have you tried putting the phone in airplane mode and back again? That works for me when mine is stubbornly showing there's a data connection where nothing is happening.

I have done the airplane trick and that temporarily fixed my issues when I was on the stock rom. I also went in and got a new sim which seemed to help. I haven't noticed it as much since the new sim.

I've tried turning data on and off but that doesn't seem to work... haven't tried airplane mode yet.
I'm on 10o and I'm having the same issue with data. It is the radio because I've had this issue with other phones in the past and with them I had to flash different radios for a fix. Hopefully it will be fixed when they release the official JB for us Att users.

Weird huh? I'm going to try the new v2 of the rom and see if that might help. Fingers crossed.

I've got the same problem as well. Often times when I am in an area with full bars and I get the 4G LTE symbol, I get no data at all.
I'll chime in and say I have the same problem as well. It affects me both on WiFi and on HSPSA. I can only describe it as incredibly annoying.
I have had this phone unlocked for several months now. It worked just fine on tmobile edge. This morning, I wanted to upgrade to 4G, and went to this forum and rooted with odin3 1.85 installed tmob stock boot, and tmob system then flashed blaze modem. No sim. Flashed uvlg3modem, no sim. Flashed all the available modems, no sim. Factory reset, no sim. emergency calls only. did have the android process.acore has stopped, but after the factory reset, went away. Went to tmob store and got a new sim. Still does not read a sim. Was working just fine until i rooted it, and flashed the modem. I have searched the forum until i'm ready to smash this phone. any help????
How long did you wait before you freaked and started flashing different modems? Do those modem files have att i717 anywhere in the file name? Flash the T-Mobile again and do not flash a radio. What happens?

After the first one didnt work, i went on and flashed all of them one at a time. the thread stated that if one didn't work, flash the others. And, no, they were all tmob. I have flashed blaze and uvlg3 twice each. I did blaze before I installed the tmob system on odin
Just flash the T-Mobile one and no radio.

how do i do that? I have the uvlg3modemfori717 zip file on the phone now. i also have vkltest, and icsblaze all zip files. do i drag it onto the phone, and flash it like before?
could i have lost my unlock? I paid for a factory unlock, $20 and sent my imie number. They sent me a code to unlock it.
Just use Odin to reflash the T-Mobile system and boot. Then let the phone start with sim in and see where you are at with a signal.

so use oden and put the tmob system in pda again? what about the stock boot? that one too?
ok did that, and still, says no sim card emergency calls only. still have the uvlg3modemfori717 zip file. did not reflash it.
I don;t know it this helps, but the phone is showing 4 bars right next to the battery, like it's picking up a signal. when i go to settings-more-mobile networks insert sim card to access network services. I have my old tmob sim and a new one they gave me yesterday.
Do you have bone of the att modem files? Try flashing the att modem file and then see if you get service again.

Re: [Q] AT&T I717, bone stock, not receiving SMS msgs
Find the topic in one of these i717 forums and follow the directions for a free unlock. If you need help finding it let me know.

Unlocking is permanent.
You should test your sims in another phone - they can go bad.
You should return your phone to stock and test your verifed sim card - the sim card slot can go bad. Its a warranteed repair, but only if you have a stock rom.
tried to take it back to stock, now, it says that calendar.process has stopped, and goes through with other things until it just freezes.
Are you flashing after wiping everything in cwm? If you are having issues with things crashing, factory reset should take care of the issue.

I seemed to solve the no sim issue, however, it is running really slow, and different processes keep stopping. system process, android process, ect. I have installed the att stock files and went back to the tmob, and that still doesn't fix the issue. I can't get into the settings through the phone to do a hard reset, everything fails before i can get there. the process com.android.phone has stopped. idk what the heck is wrong with this thing. all we wanted was to get 4g. man, i really screwed this thing lol.
Ok, heres whats going on now. I have fixed the sim issue, and the process issues. I reset my phone to factory. Now this is what i have on it:
tmobile system, stock boot, and icsblaze modem. I have 5 bars, and pick up tmobile, on 4G. Factory reset and icsblaze modem were the keys. I had the uvlg3 modem but it was causing my phone to crash. So, I deleted that modem, and put on the blaze, 4G works great. Thanks for all the help.
You are welcome. Its not always an exact science. I also had issues with different modems and always had to return back to stock Tom image.
