Anyone having data issues? I had some on CM10.1 and they seem to have carried over to liquid 2.8. My 4g signal shows full bars with -80dbm which is really great, BUT my throughput is maybe 300Kbps per second, upload is sub 100. I constantly have websites fail to load or apps say data connection is lost. Could this have something to do with my SIM or I remember on the s3 i needed to reprovision my sim card to fix some signal issues. Anyone else noticing funky stuff happening? This is all on clean installs, wiping everything using TWRP 2.5.02. Unless there is a newer version and this stuff isnt really getting wiped or fixing permissions? cause when i hit fix permissions, it almost finishes immediately, doesnt seem like it does much
its strange out of my home area, it seems to go in and out. is there are a radio upgrade or anything?
It is as if there is a major hand-off issue or something. Is this a ril thing or what do you guys think the issue could be

I have had 2 different vibrants now and they both have done the same thing. I haven't been able to isolate the problem to any one thing so I ask if there is anyone else experiencing the same problem. My network connection just freezes. I can't call or text and I have no data. If I try to make a call, it freezes on dialing and the only way to get it back is reboot. This is happening about twice a day and is really a pain. The only way I know it has happened is by trying to make a call and it freezes. I don't know how long it has been that way and when people try to call me, it goes straight to vmail. I put a new SIM card in thinking that was the problem, but it didn't help. I have searched everywhere trying to find a fix. TMO CSR was absolutely no help at all. Shocking.
BTW I am in an area with no 3G coverage. I am on EDGE all the time.

Since you have had the problem now with two different phones it could be a result of some app(s) you have installed, or related to your coverage. Did thr problem start after having each phone for some time?
I am working on ruling out an app. Weird thing is, I have had winmo for over 3 years in the same area with no probs. This is my first android. I am uninstalling an app at a time to figure out if it is one.
****Update****
So I uninstalled the ESPN Scorecenter app. I haven't had a freeze in over 24 hrs. Guess I am going to have to find another app to follow the games while I am at church.
are you sure u r in area that has only Edge? have u try to Lagfix the fone?
goodluck.
This just happened to my wife's Vibrant. This reminds me of when I had the T-mobile Shadow, where suddenly, it would not be able to send or receive data or calls BUT the phone itself shows no indications of any signal problems. It's as if the cellular software component has frozen and so the signal bars are frozen to whatever state they were and thus tricking you into thinking everything is fine until you try to make a call or someone calls you on a landline wondering if your cell phone is dead.
I suspect it's due moving into a poor or zero signal area and the phone tries to make a data connection. I really have no idea how to fix this other than to hope there is a firmware update to resolve this. The only fix is to reboot the phone (flipping the phone to flight mode gets one to a state where you can't turn flight mode off... which indicates a lost of control to the cellular component).
I am consider finding a way to reboot the phone nightly, which will help if this happens overnight, but I wish there was a way to detect this more immediately so it can reboot when needed. Perhaps an app that monitors the carrier signal strength and if the signal level is perfectly the same for a long duration, then a lock up of the cellular component is suspected.
I've been having a lot of issues today with my signal strength dropping to where it's become unusable. I have an AT&T US Atrix 4G. The signal strength is normally very strong, and is now barely showing 1 bar in and out. I'm also have data issues where I can not connect to HSPA normally.
I did update to the leaked ICS last night, and have reflashed and wiped several times. Since then, I have went back to GB 4.5.91. I am still having the problem back on GB. I'm using radio 37P.
One thing that I originally did not think had any bearing on this issue was I did hurl the phone across the room this morning (landed on carpet) as my phone kept rebooting during calls on me. I opened up the phone to see if anything was noticeably disconnected and it looks like the cord is still okay.
Is there anything else besides the radio that could be causing me the grief? Anything that I can try besides erasing the radio and re-flashing? Anything with any settings? APN settings? I reset the APN settings to default and I see the 4 AT&T APNs load.
Thanks in advance.
Also wondering if there would be any use in me changing the kernel.
Any suggestions?
Not to pester anyone who may have advice, but just wondering if this Atrix (which is running well other then then having an incredibly weak signal for mobile networks) is ready for the trash.
Please do not bump your thread superfluously. Thanks!
I have my I9300 few months so far and never had any issue with it. I'm with three network in UK and used many different custom ROMs and KERNELS, but usually stick with OMEGA and PHENOMENAL. Few weeks ago I've found that internet on my phone slow down. Also in my place, where I always had H+ good signal I have now only H. After couple of tests (speednet) it shows that I can go up to 10mbit/s so it was more less OK for H but normally I had between 12-15mbits. I was still able to catch H+ in different locations, but my speed with H+ dropped down to 500kbit/s (download) and with upload it was no connection at all (still had full bar H+).
I've changed ROM, KERNEL, MODEMS, went back to original, done 100s wipes and still the same. I've cleaned the phone, reset flash counter and sent to three to fix. I've just collected it from the shop and have a letter that they replaced some hardware and it's fix, but I'm not happy with it - in my place I can only connect to H, not H+ (my wife's S3, same network has H+ all the time). When I have H+ in some places, download speed is up to 2-3mbit/s and upload 2mbits, so still way to slow.
Does anyone experience any similar problem? Should I send it back to 3 for a fix?
The other issue I have is with my memory card and I've seen it around, so it's not only me. Had 2-3 cards so far and with JB it keep saying 'SD Card Removed Unexpectedly' or 'Preparing SD Card' or even 'SD Card Damaged' when wake up from deep sleep. This was second issue I asked for repair when I've sent my phone back to three for a fix. Guess what? It's still the same, happen again as soon as I've put my card back in. It's not the card fault, because I've already checked 3 cards with the same result.
So, I had two serious issues (I think) and few hours ago collected phone from the shop as a 'fixed' and problems still exist. What do you suggest, should I send it back for a fix? How to deal with them? Maybe it's only me and I should live with my issues?
For the signal issue, have you done a signal test with the carrier? Usually they have them on their website you can test the signal strength in your area. As well as are you city or rurally based? Because that can be an effect.
Maybe it is you from a freak or rare problem. If you can live with it depends on how much it would affect what you do. If you're by Wifi for the majority of your browsing or data using time it shouldn't be a problem, but if you're out and use it then maybe it might be an issue.
The problem is that I've always had great signal in most places around Liverpool incl the one I live now and my work. Now I have only 'H' speed and in some places, where I catch 'H+' ironically speed is worse. Other people with the same phone and the same network still have H+ in full speed.
I don't care when I'm at home, like you said, can always switch wifi on. Problem is when I go somewhere and want to use internet. It makes different, everything net related is slow.
I don't understand only how come they gave me my phone back with 'repaired' note, where the faults are still the same... Probably they just wiped everything, flash it with new official system (which was there anyway when I've sent them the phone) and sent it back to me.
i suggest you take it back to maintenance, may be a hardware issue.
Thanks, will do it and fingers crossed this time someone will fix it.. This will be second time with the same issue, with third one I should get new phone
Hey all, I've had my Evo for almost over a year now, and data was never an issue. As of lately, I'm unsure what caused this issue to start popping up, but my phone will have a 3G or LTE connection, but even if I don't move or leave the phone alone, I will lose the data connection and a popup in the notification drawer says "Unable to establish wireless data connection" where toggling data or airplane mode doesn't usually cause it to come back, it just does whenever it feels like it. I don't know whether it's Sprint, or my hardware, but this issue has been present for the past few months with no solution. I am on the latest radios, sense ROM, and learned about custom PRL's today (on 56019 now) and nothing has solved it. I've searched for anything on this device related to this problem and haven't found anything, so any suggestions or help would be appreciated
Any suggestion whether the issue is at least my phone or the network would be helpful. I have no clue what the cause of the issue could be. Thanks

I noticed this more frequently as well once I installed 4.3 a while back - seems like the radio is much more sensitive and would pop up that message occasionally when it would switch between 1x/3g/4g/Wi-Fi - or from roaming back to sprint. I just ignored it - dismissed message and all would be well.
however, sprints network has been more and more troublesome these past 4-6 months - actually switched to ATT beginning of May due to this after being with Sprint for 16+ years.
Trying to isolate the problem to see if its my phone, the ROM, or router. I had no problems before I flashed. It seems like I randomly drop my network and it doesn't want to reconnect without a reboot. LTE also is very intermittent, sometimes going from 4 bars to none or dropping to 3G without even moving. Its been getting very annoying and has been dropping calls lately. Has anyone else noticed this. Is it a carbon issue, a CyanogenMod one? If so does. Anyone know any good gpe based ROMs as an alternative?

Typically Wifi issues phone wise are kernel related if the kernel for example uses different drivers. Cellular issues are typically related to the Radio. ROM itself should not greatly affect radio signal nor Wifi.
