I think the issue is called "data drop"? Anyways, although I am currently running Axura 2.0.3, it doesn't seem to matter, all 2.2's seem to do it. There will come a point in the day when I try to open something web-based, the 3G activity on the notification bar just does nothing. I suppose rebooting solves it for a while, but going to settings>wireless & network>mobile networks>network operators>search now and then re-choosing T Mobile somehow resets it as well.
-Can somebody explain what the bigger issue is here (why it does this on 2.2)? -Is there some type of a "fix" out there, or one contemplated?
-If there isn't, is there a better way to re-set the data than either of the 2 things above? If re-registering solves it, how does it get un-registered in the first place?
-On 2.1 ROMS (and even stock) I was routinely getting data speeds of between 4-5M. On 2.2 it's hardly ever more than 3. Is this something inherent in 2.2? Seems like we went backwards a bit???
Hmm, I haven't seen it yet. I did experience Airplane mode once on one of the earlier Onyx releases, and the only thing that solved it was to reboot the device.
I have experienced a strange issue with the browsers though, I will get a notification that internet connection is required, but the page loads, I even tried to download and install an alternative browser, and got the same annoying pop-up, mind you I was on 3G, and also used the market to download the app to install it at the same time in the same location.

That also happened to me yesterday. The pages in the browser does load but it's annoying that a pop up message will always appear when using the browser. I'm using Froyo now for almost a week and it happened the first time yesterday. Then i reboot then it's fixed.
I am getting a lot of disconnects too. But it also happens when I am on wifi, sometimes wifi refuses to start and errors out. Onyx 3.1.
Just happened trying to post this - wifi.

Did your area recently have 4G go live? I've had data problems on both mine using froyo and my girlfriends running stock ji6. So I don't feel the froyo roms are the cause. Last night neither of us could get data to work for more than a few minutes at a time.

I too have noticed this on all the 2.2 roms. What I see is the up/green arrow on the 3G icon light up but not the down/orange arrow. I'll try loading stuff up on the web/market and nothing but all the while that green arrow is lighting up. I'm guessing green = upload and orange = download? Idk, but its annoying as hell.

I just came back to the office and was able to use it without the annoying pop-up.
It is strange, the page loads in the background while the pop-up comes up.
Ahhh, the Froyo gooodies LOL

Not yet. Philly always gets hit up last. I did some more searching and found this in the early part of the Axura thread:
"The Lib & Bin fixes are for the battery.
I haven't had any problem.
It seems to be a hit & miss type of thing.
He told me That is was probably the same issue that was causing his network location to not work, and that he fixed in with the lib and bins. Just waiting on a release. Everything else seems great in this rom. Runs much smoother that the JPM build."
I have no idea what this means or if it's relevant, but there's something ain't right...
Running Axura. Since 2.2 does not see the hsdpa, I loaded the ji6 modem and all is working great. No data issues at all.

No update on this thread. Anyone got a fix?
I am experiencing the same problem with all the 2.2 ROMs, currently on bionix-v 1.2.1 with KB1 modem.
When it is in the "data drop" condition, sometimes voice calls would not connect and SMS fails to send. But signal status still showing full bars (I live next to the tower).
I'm on an UMTS/HSPA network, so it does look to be a ROM rather than a radio problem. I've tried almost all the available modems - same problem. Yes, I use my phone heavily so there is always one or two apps trying to access the network - and they would be all be stuck (or errors) at the same time.
If I'm tethered, either via 2.2 AP Mode or USB tether, the session is stuck until reset/reboot.
However, the free "WiFi Tether for rooted users" app from the market gets around this condition all the time... somehow :
GTab running CM v7.0.3 Harmony.
WiFi just stopped working correctly out of nowhere. It'll go from "Scanning...", to "Connecting...", to "Disconnected", in an endless loop without ever actually connecting.
I tried just rebooting, and nothing. Tried even flashing back to stock (two different versions), then to the latest Nightly, then back to v7.0.3, then did a restore (just to get back to where I was), and all of them had the same issue. None of them had the ability to connect, and still with that same looping.
I even tried some program I found called "WeFi". No go with that either.
I've had this tablet since the 19th, working perfectly. On CyanogenMod7 the whole time. No major changes were made to the system.
Does anyone know of a fix or something that could get me back to functional WiFi?
I'd appreciate the help.
Thanks.
I realize this is not the correct section for this thread but id like to say yours is not an isolated issue. It happened to me with Vegan-Gingerbread edition and i flashed all the way back to Belkins 1.0 2638 (nvflash) and its still doing it.
Strangely enough, it works from my home but will NOT work at hotels airports etc (even though my my lap tops and phones etc will connect from those same locations. This has rendered my gtab nearly useless (without wifi its useless) even though i am familiar with nvflash and trying different roms..i have no idea why the wi-fi keeps looping into this "dead" behavior......
Delete...wrong thread. Lol
Strange, just recently I noticed the same thing, but mine tends to drop connection when using wireless tether via my phone. Even though wifi says connected any apps utilizing wifi will not connect. I have to shut off wifi & then turn it back on only to have it drop once more in less than 5 min. I know it's not the phones end because I can wifi tether to my laptop with no problems & I'm able to connect to my home wifi with no problems as well.
I'm running the latest nightly build of CM7 & have been using it since it was pushed out (June 25th I believe). No other ROM updates other than the usual app updates have been installed. This has been going on for about a week now.
No wifi on CM 7
Me too wi fi on the GTAB running CM7 died today. All other computers are connected.
miracle...now working.
Someone wrote me a PM and made a suggestion to delete user. I tried that, and removed my home network from the list. I also did a hard reset on my router.
The next day, it just worked. So who the hell knows. I'm glad in any case.
Since installing MIUI 1.6.24.1 I do not have internet/data access on my phone.
I can make/receive phone calls and txts, however I cannot connect to Google or Android Market.
I have tried EA28, EC01, and EC09 modems with multiple battery pulls (both plugged in and not) between each with no effect.
When trying to input my account info for Market I get "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server." Normally (on UKB 2.1) I have full service at my desk. My "3G" icon is constantly flickering on and off and under About Phone 3G Service only stays connected for a second then switches back to "Connecting".
Am I missing something?
Jp
Update: Solution found - See Post #25
Dial *228. The keypad won't pop up so hold menu and press 1 on the keyboard to reprogram your phone. I had that happen this morning. I didn't realize I didn't have internet since I was using wifi all night after I flashed it. The voice prompt will tell you it succeeded but the UI will say it failed. You'll lose service. Just reboot. Worst case scenario, if you still don't have any service at all shut down then pull the battery. Boot back up and you should be good.
Still no Internet.
My 3G connection only ever stays active for 8 sec.
I am currently on EC09 Radio which I really havent used much. However, I have found that for me EA28 was usually the most reliable Radio. Is it possible that EC09 just doesn't work well for me here?
Jp
That's definitely not the same issue I was having. My 3G icon stayed on the screen but all my apps simply told me I had no internet. The 3G icon never went away on me. Sorry I can't help you further. Maybe somebody else has some insight. Try reinstalling and possibly a new radio like you said.
You should try a new radio, I'm currently on Ed04 and I have had no problems with Internet.

That sounds more like the issue Crashspeeder described, you may only need to reactivate your phone. My data appears to be going down every 8 seconds.

ED04 has same issue on both MIUI and CM7, I am beginning to think it has nothing to do with the modem.
Jp
Keep in mind that CM7 MTD and MIUI MTD are essentially the same rom since MIUI MTD is based on CM7 MTD so I'm not sure your assessment is entirely correct. It may be that ED04 isn't compatible with these two roms. I'm on EB01 (yea, dinosaur) and it's working fine.
I did reactivate my phone but using *22804 for cricket in my area and one of the times it said failed I lost data pulled battery rebooted got it and still nothing ....and another it said success and still a no go
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Well I can cross off EC01, EA28, EC09, ED04, and now EB01 as things I've tried. None of them worked. That is my reasoning as to why I think it is unrelated to the radio.
Well, I guess I'll keep playing with it for a bit and try all the other radios I can get ahold of.
Jp
Hah. I would've stopped at 3. I think you've proven it's not the modem. I assume you tried reinstalling and still nothing. Not sure what could be going on

Seems that I'm in the same boat here............... app/market tries to connect and I see the data stream flashing but then in a few seconds it says no internet/ data connection. For reference I'm on Metro PCS and I had data working on Evil and Com rom.
Also I flashed JT's CM7 for a quick test and no internet on that either, wierd......

Yeah after flashing Miui and losing data I Odined back to stock and still got the same ..no data ... I'm on Cricket which is like Metro

I've been screwing with this all day. I have both the 3q flicker and sometimes it stays on but the arrows don't flash. either way no data. Flashed back to stock and data works. Also works on comrom with the last 3 radios (including the new ec09 leak).
otherwise the install went well for everything (both muiu and cyanogen). MUIU was a pain because i couldn't find terminal emulator but then had an idiot moment when i found it in the power menu but it didn't work, 3 of the 4 reboots did the same thing. hot boot was the only one that did anything different.
I've used the stock kernel and the OTB kernel. Same story both times. I'm not sure what other info would be relevant but I'm happy to help diagnose this problem. Getting a new fascinate because I was one of those who the ESN swap didn't fix my other data problems (cut out and slow). Maybe that's a lead? Anyway, i'll have a backup phone for a couple days if I want to mess with it without worry.
thanks for all the help and work. I like it a lot, it's super quick!
I'll just use it as is for today, but when I wake up tomorrow I'll flash back to Evil or com rom see if my data comes back. If data hasnt comeback when I flash back I'll check my data settings with QPST 2.7 and if need be I'll re-flash the data settings with Miui installed.
I had the same issue after flashing the latest MIUI build. Even after rebooting twice I still had no data connection. Oddly enough after doing a battery pull, then holding the power button down to clear any residual power; it started working again.
Update, I work graveyard so I decided to do it before i go to bed, anyway I flashed back to stock and as slow and pathetic as it is... data is working. I'm flashing evil as I type.......wait for it......."convert data patition , back up operation, blah blah blah Two Minutes" ..........*stares blindly at Samsung logo* OK! Evil is up and running with data which means something about miui and CM7 is breaking our data .
*warning, rant-ish*
I would hate to not be able to go back to Miui, I had my theme made up of of a custom Ore no Imouto icons everywhere *ashamed* with a custom font and a sweet HTC bootloading screen with the Fringe intro song Maybe data isn't too big of a deal besides who needs pandora, tapatalk, email, OMG! my precious Fantasy sport teams...... wait a sec, the NFL is still on lock out. Fellas we need to find a fix for this, preferably before the next NFL season.....My Solid Snakes HAVE to be back to back champs
So, a quick update...
First off, my Nandroid backup of UKB 2.1 is apparently corrupted or something because after flashing/repartitioning with EB01, I couldn't do a restore. So basically, I'm stuck with either MIUI with no data or rebuilding UKB 2.1 from scratch which undoubtedly will be a real pain.
Second, my data has now worked once. I was able to open Google today after my phone had been off for several hours. When I booted my phone up it was first stuck in Airplane Mode so I powered down and pulled the battery. When I booted back up, my data worked, I was able to load Google in the browser and when I searched for "test" it failed. It got part way into loading my search results when it crashed out.
So, it looks like I'm going to just stick with MIUI for the time being and just do without the data when I'm off WIFI.
The only thing unusual about my setup is that I am using the extended battery. It is the standard VZW 2200 mAh not any of the 3rd Party ones but I guess that could be making a difference.
If any developers want to see any logs or anything just let me know what commands I should run and I'll post the results.

With all cyanogen mod you sometime lose data after you poweroff your phone. Try rebooting or battery pull. If that doesnt work, you probly gonna need a new phone. I dont think its modem or rom related. The phone data anttena is done.

So here is my problem. Everytime I install a new rom (stock or modded, 2.2 or 2.3), the GPS works great. Then after several hours or days, it stops working, and never works again until the phone is rewiped. Whats the deal?! I can't keep wiping my phone over and over and I never hear anyone talk about similar problems.
Things I have tried include:
Stock froyo roms
Leaked gingerbread roms
Modded 2.2 roms
Modded 2.3 roms
Different recoverys 2, 3, and 4
Different modem firmwares
Odin and even Heimdall to stock condition
None of this has staved it off for more than a week.
If it makes you feel better I don't get gps to work on any rom until I run gps aids from the market...I have to run the forced mode and i get a red light on the last setup line but it still works but I have to go into settings...location...and check the location based services on and off once then my gps locks on 6-8 satellites in just seconds...maybe worth a try since its free and it has worked for me on stock, com rom, and cm7 when nothing else would.

GPS works flawless on powerwash v1.1 with no aids. Only thing is sometimes I have to reboot my phone if I haves gps turned off for a period of time to get a instant lock. Been that way since ed01 froyo.
So I need help figuring out what is going on with my phones WiFi. Here is the back story of whats going on:
-Have and Atrix 4G, obviously.
-Unlocked the boot loader and rooted the phone a few weeks after the 2.3.4 update using the method HERE (though now my phone says its version is 2.3.7 and I don’t know how that happened)
-Flashed the Alien ROM and Theme
Everything went great and I continued to love my phone until about 3 or 4 weeks ago when my WiFi stopped working. I want to make it perfectly clear I HAVE searched the forums here and found a lot of others with problems people are having with the WiFi; however, none of them describe the problem I am having, which is:
-I turn the WiFi on, either by the settings menu or through some sort of switch or trigger app.
-It says turning on WiFi and after four or five seconds of turning on it says error.
-Have the time it crashes my phone.
The crashing my phone made me think it is some sort of “software” problem so I reflashed the Alien ROM but the problem continued so I flashed the CyanogenMod 7 from HERE (VERY GREAT ROM BTW) and the problem STILL CONTINUES!!
So what I would like to know is:
-If this is a software problem what needs to be done?
-And if the answer to both is no your up the creek without a paddle what the heck can I do about this?
Thanks for any help y’all can give me.
I didn't experience these issues specifically but I did have wifi issues, especially after GB was released. What I did was change my router to use "G" protocol instead of "N". This is just a suggestion and is only relevant if you have an "N" router.

Yeah i'm having this problem as well. I did some troubleshooting and this is what worked for me. I used the 1.77.36p baseband and used all manual settings for my home wifi settings. Here is the link to the other thread showing what I did. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1394704 Seemed to happen after flashing the darkside 4 rom so could be related to custom roms but others are saying it is hardware. http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1235396.html
