Bug issue has been solved as if FXP45. Thanks to all who helped track this nasty critter down.
I've been asked to start up a thread specifically for tracking down the data loss bug in FXP41,42 and 43. I'm currently one of the very few that are not suffering from this problem.
Background
The data loss issue is when your wifi or 3g status indicators still show you as being connected to the internet and Google (green indicators) but no data is transferred. A reboot of the phone will restore data for a limited period of time before the same thing occurs again. After a fresh install, it can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours for data loss.
For those that have the problem nothing tried so far as been able to rectify the problem for any length of time and for those of us that don't have the problem we can't duplicate it.
What needs to be done
We need to find some common denominator between the devices / users that are having this problem that is also something that none of the working devices / users don't have. If you have anything to add that you've tried to do to duplicate the problem or fix the problem please post or PM me with the details and I'll keep this OP up to date.
What been tried to duplicate problem on working devices
1. Fresh install - Nope
2. Market update / downgrade - Nope
3. Forcing sync - Nope
4. Factory data reset and login with different account - Ongoing
What's been tried to fix the problem
1. Fresh install - Nope
2. No Gapps - Nope
3. Market downgrade - Nope
What still need to be tested (suggestions please)
1. Working device/user create a different Google account and test with that.
2. Who is using 2 step verification and do they have problem or not.
3. Compare results of a clean install using the same account on a working and not working phone. (I have account setup PM me for login if you want to help test)
This should get the ball rolling, I'll add some more is a couple of hours once I get my head in gear.
I've had the problem today. I didn't try to format the sdcard first, but maybe it helps. I can't try it until next week at least

I was on this rom (fxp041) for a while, it was at least two weeks before i got the data bug. I'll have another go tomorrow installing the latest version fresh. I'll experiment to see what causes it. Hopefully report back tomorrow with some report.
cheers, lunar.

I've just done a factory data reset and setup the phone using a different gmail account that I created for this test. If I loose data then maybe it's account related.
Well, I have tried two different google accounts, so either both of my accounts are screwed, or it isn't something tied to the Google account. However, it didn't happen to me UNTIL I installed the GApps addon package either time - first time I installed the ROM, had data no problem for about 3 hours, then was like "Whoops, wait a minute, need my Gmail / Market apps", so I installed the package and lost it. Second time, installed both, had net, did a Market download of a few apps, checked gmail, worked fine for about half an hour, then went kaput. Did the second time with a DIFFERENT google acct.
Hi,
The data bug began for me with the fxp30b release. I tested so many things to tackle that nasty bug.

FXP043 also have data bug. I will use stock or VMOD version later.
Hi GBD,,
I have tried everything you have in the op and nothing has worked for me too, also you can rule using a new account as i have tried that too even on a fresh install.
I thought that when market updated it was that causing the issue but yesterday i froze the marketupdater app with titanium, signed in, and the problem still occurred.In fact before signing into google the phone had worked fine for several hours with no data issues.
I wonder if Crowds has found the solution here..

Maybe we do have a fix so waiting now for good news.
I have gone back to fxp030 for now as i need my phone for work.

Can someone test this out. Do a fresh install and as soon as you boot up and connect to your google account, manually set your time to 11:59pm and allow it to roll over to the next day.
The market should update when the roll over occurs and if it's the cause, you'll loose data at that time.

Did fresh install of FXP043, after first boot up connected with account, selected some Gapps to install, at that time it automatically synced. Connected to wifi to download gapps faster, after that changed time to 11:59 pm (decided to stay on edge, no wifi). 2 minutes later there was new market, and everything worked just fine. Visited some websites, changed to wifi and back. Data still working. I can't reproduce data issue...
I came from FXP030b in which data was also working for me(had few issues at the beggining first but then data was working fine)

How you getting on bro? are you still running fxp043 without any data loss issues, if so did you manage to sort out the bt problem?

i was from 21PM yesterday till 13PM today without any issues besides bt and to be honest i don`t even try to manage that i the meanwhile i change rom again
Maybe it's kernel related? Maybe you can try flashing fxp30's kernel over fxp43 and test?
I'm running FXP43 and just encountered data loss but found a solution (at least in my case, not sure if it's 100% effective for everyone).
What I did:
- Went into Dev Tools > Bad Behavior > Crash the system server
- Screen seemed to freeze but I let it sit for a good 30+seconds to see if it would become responsive
-After no response I pulled the battery and removed my sd & sim cards for 30+seconds then replaced them
-Booted my device and data is back
If anyone tries this method and it helps I'd appreciate the THANKS!

Dude, this isn´t neccesary and doesn´t solve the problem. After a reboot data is always back but disappears again after a while. There´s no need to crash the system server.
has anyone tried to flash new gapps (this) instead of the one provided in the post?
Hi Friends,
Few days a go as I was watching youtube videos for around 45 minutes continuously through the youtube app. The streaming suddenly paused and never continued from that point. I tried other videos but it kept on buffering (the circle kept on spining and nothing happened, as noticed on the leds of wifi router it seemed youtube app is not using the net but when i search for more videos the thumbnail do showup normally).
To over come this issue i tried reflashing. This happened when i was on the new HyperDroid_v4.0 with Pongster's MattedBlack v4.0 Surgeons which is amazing for battery saving.
I then tried reflashing HyperDroid_v4.0 again after formatting /cache /system /data /sdcard /emmc which wiped everything, but still no avail.
Then i again tried reflashing DarkyROM2 XXKH3 BASE (2.3.4) formatting everything but still no luck at all.
I even tried these flashing after Factory data reset selecting Format USB storage as well .
When i do the flashing everything else seems to be working fine as usual except the youtube playback and android market doesn't download, like i said for the youtube app, everything like searching the apps, browsing through apps details works fine except it doesn't download at all. It shows as if it's downloading but it stays as is forever.
Very sorry if same question was posted before this as i couldn't find like it.
I have been trying to fix this for 2 days in a row but still no luck.
Has anyone come across this same issue.
Please help.
Thank you very much in advance..
Update:The problem was finally solved after again formatting /cache /system /data /sdcard /emmc and flashed stock ROM though Odin and then I installed DarkyROM tool and then flashed DarkyROM2_KI3_Base ROM.
I will soon jump to HyperDroid_v4.0 with Pongster's MattedBlack v4.0 Surgeons again as it has superb battery life.
I will be updating you guys if the same problem persist.
Thank you all
Hello everyone!
Although I am not using GS2 (I have a Galaxy Note), I chose to post here because I didn't want to create a new post and I believe this is not a device-specific issue (see below for why).
I have the exact same problem as OP (as far as I can see). When I got my note less than a week ago, everything was working great. Then, last Friday I noticed that I cannot download anything from the market. After choosing to download something (both paid or free), after clicking "accept & download" at the permission screen, the screen goes back to app screen and market shows the app as "downloading..." with working, yet empty, progress bar. Everything else using the internet works fine - browsing from different browsers, notifications, email etc. I even tried installing an alternative market app, and it would download/install apps no problem. Also, downloading straight .apk files works as well. Later that evening I also noticed youtube app doesn't work - just the "loading" circle keeps running, until it times out. Browsing/searching market/youtube works without a problem. I am using the stock ROM and it isn't even rooted. Later, following some suggestions from google searches on the problem, it turns out that downloads work when I disable network and let it use mobile internet. I also later found out that it works on other wifi networks, just not my home wifi (which used to work perfectly, with no configuration changes to the router).
Next day I also found out that my girlfriend's android (LG Optimus Me P350) has the same exact problem, therefor it is not a phone model specific problem.
Here is what I tried so far:
Factory reset - left me with no apps and no way to re-download them. The market download did work ONCE after the reset, but that was to download the update to the market itself, nothing else;
Clearing Download Manager data - worked for ONE download. At first it worked for one download every time, meaning, after clearing download manager data, I was able to download one app, after that it would go back to the problem. I could then clear data again, and it would again download one app. After about 5 apps downloaded this way, this solution won't work at all anymore;
Force closing/clearing data of market, gmail, talk (in combination with above step) - didn't work;
Signing out/in to gmail and/or talk - didn't work;
Changing google account in market - didn't work;
Stopping/starting download countless times - didn't work;
Switching wifi on/off - only starts downloading briefly when phone switches to 3G while wifi is off. As soon as it gets wifi connection back, the download stalls at the position it was until I switch wifi off again (so it can continue to use 3G);
Switching phone to airplane mode, off/on, then disabling airplane mode - didn't work;
Changing phone's DNS records with an app to OpenDNS - didn't work;
Updating router firmware - didn't work;
Resetting router firmware - didn't work;
Setting port triggering on router for port 5228 - didn't work;
Port forwarding to Note IP for same port - didn't work;
Disabling router firewall - didn't work;
My router is Linksys E1000.
I think that is all I tried. I have been trying to find a solution for the whole weekend, and nothing as far. Searching google makes me believe that many people have had the same problem. I have found many solutions, which don't work, or only work once. This problem is really, really irritating. Also, I have found out that for many people the problem seems to randomly disappear without doing anything after some time (days to months), sometimes coming back and sometimes not. I experienced this myself when after going to sleep, I was able to download one app in the morning with no tried "fixes" at that time. This also makes me believe that there are many "fake" solutions, which did work for some people, but not for others - quite possibly, while these people were "solving" the problem, it actually solved itself, yet because the person did something, he/she believes that was the solution. A notable example of this could be "google account 24-hour reset" where users experiencing the problem are suggested to log out of their google accounts everywhere and not use the account for anything for 24 hours. Seeing as this is possibly a problem somehow connected to another device, not just the phone itself, I did consider flashing DD-WRT on my router, but I wouldn't really want do do that since my router is not that powerful and with all the DD-WRT features my broadband speed gets capped at about 65Mbit/s. Still a lot, but I have a great internet connection and am able to get real speeds of about 90Mbit/s with stock router firmware.
If anyone has any ideas, please share Thank you in advance!
Just a quick reply - I contacted my apartment building network tech, and he said that they didn't do anything regarding the internet that day, but they did however do something to offer TV service to residents (edit: The TV network shares the same hardware as internet's). He said that it shouldn't have changed anything regarding internet, but he would look into it. A few hours later everything is working.
Of course, it could be one of those cases where the problem disappears with no apparent reason, but I guess they did something to fix it. So, if you are experiencing the same problem (market downloads not working and youtube app not playing videos), and you have tried everything else (preferably confirmed the problem persists on someone elses phone), I would suggest you start going up the chain to whoever is managing your network (after yourself). If at all possible, try getting wifi access through someone else who is using the same ISP/network - if the problem persists even when connected to another AP/Router, it's pretty sure the ISP or network is to blame.
Hope this helps someone, since I wasted a few days on this
I've searched and couldn't find. My bad if i missed it.
So I flashed MIUI and followed the steps of each MIUI rom thread. Everything works perfectly except for one thing. The GPS. It seems that everyone gets the gps to work except for me o.o. well it worked once but after that each time i load up the gps, the app freezes and my phone keeps vibrating. (i have to set the phone to silent using volume keys to stop it) after i stop it every time i hit my home key it vibrates again, nonstop. then everything i try to start up FCs anyone got a solution for this ?
i tried the privacy>reset phone thing but didnt work either.
i've also tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1370910
by the way i tested this with other roms. every rom i tried it on worked. the only roms that didnt are the MIUIs (all of em)
and no i did not drop the phone in water nor is there any sort of damages to the phone.
Have you tried other kernels, my Galaxy Brethren?
yes. i've tried just about every kernel that supports miui.
BUMPPP
10charrrrrrrrr
Odin to stock. Upgtade to a custom 2.2 rom flash Miui from there
Sent from my T959 using XDA App
If you are gettting it with Google maps - I think its a known bug. I got it all the time to.
Try flashing MIUI via my guide.
So it seems like there are two threads about the exact same issue. Here is the same answer repeated again:
I had this same problem for awhile. I used the Yet Another GPS fix and after that I would wipe the GPS data and force it to download new data. This would fix it every time.
THEN today I updated to the new MIUI-112300 and it worked first try without me having to tweak anything.
Good luck!
I've had the same problem - Using Lithium 360 (another MIUI) rom. I haven't checked to see if it's still happening after updating to Volt.
since I don't need GPS too often, it's usually off but last I checked I still had this issue going into Google Navigation I believe.
I'll try Lizeroy's fix and check it out today.
Hello folks. Been lurking on the forums, grabbing what info and software and tips I needed for a couple years, but never had a need to post something. Now, the problem has been described already in the topic title, but I'll elaborate.
Somewhere in a period of 24-36 hours of being turned on continuously, my phone (a Sony Xperia Go with Cyanogenmod 11 running on it, but the problem was there before with stock rom too) needs to be rebooted, else I can't receive or send text messages or call. The text messages simply won't be sent and I don't get a waiting tone (or any sound for that matter) when I try to call and it'll eventually fail.
Now when I still used a stock rom, I'd see that I had lost network connection, but on the current Cyanogenmod build I still have full bars. This issue I then have to fix by rebooting my phone, as I stated. I have not tried setting it to airplane mode for a quick fix, but in all honesty, I'm looking for a permanent fix, not a temporary one. And this also seems to be an issue that isn't just with my type of phone.
I tried looking for a solution already several times, but all I could find that described my problem was this thread. I have not tried ordering a new sim card from T-Mobile yet, since that costs money over here in the Netherlands, and I wanted to make sure I had exhausted every possible software fix before trying to fiddle with hardware.
Hope this is enough information for you guys to at least tell me something. Even if it's "yup, you're boned."
Gentle bump. Apologies for doing so, but I'm fairly certain I'm not the only one with this problem.
I'm having this same issue. I'm running the latest stable build of CyanogenMod on Maguro (CM11/Snapshot7). I push my SMS's through Google Voice (using CM Voice+ which is now integrated into the systems menu). I didn't notice exactly when the problem started because I have Hangouts and SMS integrated in the Hangouts app, and chat with people using both all the time. I do know that The problem didn't start after a CM update, it happened in the middle of the day while the phone was on as far as I can tell. Since then I have tried clearing caches, updated to the newest nightly release, and so forth to no avail. Rather than rebooting, I can just turn on airplane mode and turn it off to get my SMSs, but still quite a bother.
Did OP figure this out?
Nope. I ended up having to get a new phone, as it was getting worse and worse, up to a point where I had to reset it every hour. I just assumed it was a hardware problem and got a new phone.
I did a factory reset / complete reinstall and still have the problem.
After the reset and recovery, I assumed it was a telephony issue and messed with the APN and data settings as much as I could, including checking and editing the default databases. No avail.
I uninstalled Google Voice and turned off Voice+ and SMS's began working with my SIM number. Bingo! So I started messing with Google settings. Log out, log in. Reinstall apps, etc. I eventually discovered that whenever I tried to clear the cache on my Google Play Services my Settings would crash. So i figured that I had a corrupted Google Play Services, which was preventing my phone from syncing with Google Servers except on reboot or connection refresh. I later realized that I should have been tipped off to this by the orange wifi/wireless icons in my Settings dropdown.
I couldn't uninstall or update Google Play Services so I just downloaded the latest version of CM GAPPS, cleared app and Dalvik caches, and flashed GAPPS into place.
Bing, bang boom... it still didn't work. Icons still orange, Google Play Services still crashes when I try to open it from Settings>Apps.
Not sure what to do next except maybe another factory reset, and instead of using Titanium Backup to restore, I will just load a fresh version of CM11 and not update it. ??
On the latest nightlies my XT910 (umts_spyder) is not using WiFi location.
GPS and Cell location are working. I tracked my location
history and find out that the issue occured with an update
at the end of march. Unfortunately i can't say, which nightly
i installed before and after it was not working. I only can say,
that i was running a cm11 nightly before 03/26 and the wifi location
worked. With an update available at 03/26 no wifi location was used
anymore. In this time i updated the nightlies once a week (may be two)
using cm-updater ota.
I also tried a clean install of the 2014-04-17 nightly on a newly
created SS rom slot 1 --> didn't work.
I read that someone also described this issue in the dev-thread but there
was no real feedback. Does anyone know, if this issue is already known to the
devs and if thy are working on it?
Seems that nobody has an idea... but I still have this issue and tried alot.
(New nightlies in clean slots; other cm-based roms, various switching of
possible options...)
Now the interesting part:
One try was to flash an old nightly, For this nightly I know that the wifi-location
worked with it. But surprisingly after flashing it didn't work ... so I think, that issue
isn't related only to changes in nightlies.
Yesterday proofed it. I restored an SS-Backup from the end of February. And for
a short time after the boot my location was correct and as precise as it was before.
Around half an hour later the location was unprecise again and wifi wasn't used
anymore. The only thing happened in the meantime, was the pushing of updates.
So I'm quite sure, that a silently pushed update of a google package or service
is causing it.
I also checked my location history again and compared it to my backups. During this,
I noticed, that I wasn't flashing any update the time, when the wifi-location mode or "fused
location provider" stopped working correctly... for me it was around lunchtime on March 26...

Thanks for that. Now I know it's probably not device-spezific.
Also tried with a clean install of M6 snapshot... issue persists
