3G data stopped working suddenly today during lunch (no joke). Nothing was installed nor removed.
When I go to Menu -> Settings -> About Phone -> Status, the Mobile network state stays in "connecting" forever.
WiFi still works (I turn it off to check if the 3g works).
I took an old backup I had (in recovery mode) and restored, and even so, my 3g didn't come back.
Anyone has any idea of what can be done?
Thanks!
are you running CM 10 or something else? might be that you reached the limit and that it is blocking your 3G because of that. When you go to menu - data usage is it set to set mobile data limit? might be that you want to turn that off or increase your limit.

HI all i have a G2 Touch unlocked running Modaco's latest rom and i cannot get the wifi to stay on longer than about 5 seconds. It does search and find networks and i have managed to put in the key for my orange box but in settings/wireless controls/wifi the box stays ticked and underneath the words WIFI it says disconnected. Ive gone to advanced and told it to never switch from wifi and this is remembered but as i said it lasts all of 5 seconds then disconnects and i have only once seen the wifi icon in the task bar once for 5 secs then it went !! Any advice would be much appreciated thanks.
Maybe the signal's too weak and it looses connection?
No it doenst actually ever connect, the wifi program on the phone cuts out way before it ever finds a connection.
Just making sure you've done this:
Go to Settings -> Wireless Settings -> Wi-Fi settings -> Add WiFi network. Then enter the SSID and necessary security information. After all that turn WI-FI on
Thats what i do still just cuts off after maybe 5 secs !! I give up looks like i have a Hero that doesnt like wifi
Hmm, it seems that I had a similar issue, but I had enabled the Y5-Battery Saver and it continuously switched off my WIFI when I was in place where I had not been connected before. Just wondering if you have enabled the same app...

No i havent, but thanks for the suggestion
Hi all,
I've been using my Samsung Galaxy W for quite a while now, but have only recently given any serious attempt at setting up the phone's 3G connection. I have entered the correct APN data for my provider - using Telstra after unlock - and all settings are correct, as I was initially successful in getting a data connection. However, I ran into an issue when I shut down my phone. Whenever I start the phone back up, I get a glimpse of the 3G icon in the message tray, but after Media scanner has done its thing, that 3G icon then disappears. Initially I could no longer connect via 3G, no matter what settings I fiddled with.
Eventually, I found that the only way to fix the error was to dial *#*#4636#*#*, access the phone info menu, and then to manually enable the data connection. Even more confusing is that when I hold down the power button, my phone states that the data connection is already, and always was, enabled. My packet data is also on... and the phone has not put itself in flight mode. Also, as I said, the APN settings are definitely correct.
Does anyone know why I must manually enable the data connection whenever I restart my phone?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Phone is rooted and running gingerbread 3.3.6
Rooted stock ROM Verizon I605 running 4.1.2.
I was in Korea for the past 6 months and just got back the other day. Before I left, I never had any problems, but since returning, my wifi and data are on at the same time, and it's causing me problems. Here's what's going on:
If I just have mobile data on, everything works as it should. If I turn on Wifi, it will connect, but the data connection will also remain, and my internet speeds will become spotty. If I turn on mobile data and just try to use wifi, the Wifi icon appears (with the orange/green arrows indicating activity), but apps don't connect. Facebook automatically tells me "No Internet connection," Opera won't load pages, Google Talk can't sign in, etc. If I turn mobile data back on, things work again, albeit slowly.
The strange thing is if I turn on Airplane Mode and then turn it off, leaving data off, my wifi will work 100% normally. If I try to turn on mobile data again, I get the same issue.
While I was away, I replaced the SIM card so I could use my phone over there. I messed with some APN stuff thinking I would be able to get data on my phone in Korea, but that didn't work out so I returned my APN settings to default. I have a feeling that's the source of my problems, but I have no idea how to fix it. I tried restoring my APN settings to default through the settings, but that didn't fix it either.
Any help at all would be appreciated!
If it helps I have been seeing the same thing. I'm on CleanRom 3.5 (Verizon Rom base) and PB&J kernel. It seems to be hunting between them even when in strong wifi signal.
Interestingly enough it's not doing it right now.
I'll keep a closer eye on it now.

In my case, it's a constant problem (unless I manually go into airplane mode, like explained). It doesn't work sometimes and not work other times.
I'm trying to use wifi at home, so signal strength isn't an issue either.
Here's my problem, the data connection will periodically not work (3G & WiFi still show and strength is not a factor, also no 4G in my area). My current workaround is to enable airplane mode and then disable it, if this does not work then I restart the phone (rare, but it has been necessary).
I have a completely stock VM CDMA ROM, S-ON, not rooted, all system updates have been applied, etc, since up to this point I've been content with what I have. When I go on to the internet with an app (shows connected) and I'll get an extended blank screen from the app I'm using before it tells me there is no internet connection. I'm at a loss as to what is happening, though I have noticed that it frequently occurs when I unlock my screen.
If I go into developer settings and switch off Mobile data always active (in an attempt to save a little power when the phone is on Wifi), I find the phone often doesn't enable data when I leave Wifi. I have to cycle airplane mode to make it do it.
Anyone else finding the same bug? Or even using this setting?
I've had dropped connection issues since day 1, with airplane mode being the only way to restore my connection. And this was with Mobile Data always active set to on.
Who is your Carrier??
Have you noticed similar issues even with mobile data always active?
When I go to building with no cellular and come back outside. The phone doesn't automatically reconnect to cellular, leaving me with no service. What a strange bug.

EE in the UK. Works fine almost all the time so far if I keep mobile data active.
Vodafone Romania, toggled the setting off in dev options as soon as I got the phone. Data switching works fine still.
Try going into the testing menu (dialer code *#*#4636#*#*), select phone information, select 3dot menu on top right corner, try switching around between Europe and automatic. I'm my case ,selecting Europe presented various weird connection issues , biggest of which was that the phone refused to connect to LTE unless I used "automatic".
