So after rebooting about a week ago on BAMF Remix 1.7 (I think the ROM is irrelevant but just putting it in for information's sake), my 3g/mobile data stopped working. When I go into network settings, the Mobile network option is checked to connect to the internet and under APNs, there is a vzwinternet profile with a green (I'm guessing turned on?) marker.
I've tried various ROMS: BAMF, BAMF Remix, CM7, and even the Gingerbread variations of BAMF as well.
Also I've experimented with all of the radios (every one listed under the obligatory radio thread) and different kernels.
And lastly, I've wiped multiple times every time I've flashed a new ROM and have even formatted my SD card hoping it was some rogue application that disabled it.
So what can I do to bring back 3g/mobile data?
Note: Wifi, calls, and sms will works for me. MMS does not however.
I have the same problem but mine shows after rebooting, than say error when I try browser or anything that has to do with data, But works at times.
*WALK in the WORD*
Mine isn't working at all. Not even after rebooting.

How you checked with your Carrier? I'm with Orange UK and my 3g was down for 4 days once due to cell tower maintenance...
Might be worth a call to check!?

I suppose that would be the logical thing to do next before I start torching my Thunderbolt.
Thanks!

This happened to me, exactly as you've stated. I posted here but got no remedy. I tried all the things you've mentioned, reflashing the ROM, raeflashing the radio, etc. Nothing helped.
Finally, I had the idea to restore a recent backup from before I had the problem. THAT worked. I hope it helps you too.
I didn't have a chance to call during the day but I did head over to my friend's house who lives in a different area. She has VZW just as me and she was getting 3G on her blackberry but 3G/mobile data was still unavailable for me.
It's not a coverage issue but on my end.
While lurking around the mobile data settings, there was a profile for VZW under APN settings. Could someone post theirs so I could see if they match with mine? Maybe that's the solution to my problem?
I don't think it's rom dependent. I lost 4g the other day and I have yet to get it back. I have my own theories but the jerk at the VZW store wouldn't let me try my theory. I'm waiting for my usual rep to comeback, she lets me try just about anything I want. The rest are just dicks. I have tried swapping roms, radios, and all but going back stock to fix it. And nothing has brought it back. BTW, have you tried CDMA prl to see if you can get data at all? I can get 3g that way, but when I go into evdo/lte or lte only I lost all data. Also, do you have it in rev A mode under your modem settings?
I had this exact same problem with BAMF remix 1.6.3, to make this story short this is how it eventually got fixed:
Go into settings and do a check for new software.
This will force 3g to cut on. (Note: it may take a few times for the 3g to come on and STAY ON. It took me almost a day doing it about every hour.
Enjoy
Holy crap, that worked. Of all the things I tried and I couldn't get anything. Now LTE is back. You're awesome.

I have to go to work right now but yes it is turning on 3G at the moment but it's only using the up arrow (eg. uploading data but not downloading data). I"m guessing with a couple of more tries it'll eventually lock in.
If this doesn't work on gingerbread, I'll try reverting back to froyo and try it then as well.

Glad I could help.. I spent nearly two hours on the phone with Tier II support and they guy said.. well this is a long shot but try this. Didnt work the first time I tried it so he sent me a new phone but in the time it took to get the new phone, I kept trying and it finally locked in.
Ok, well I thought it worked. Every time I try it, it will give me the 4gLTE indicator, but if I open up anything that uses data it just says no mobile conectivity then after about 5-6 min it stops showing any data. Also, I can still go back to CDMA(PRL) and get 3g. It's just under 4GLTE/evdo and lte only.
BTW, for any other future reference, I started experiencing these issues right after I debloated (uninstalled) the blockbuster app.

keep trying... it will stick eventually
It's alright, I have a replacement coming tuesday. I just have to return to stock before then.
When you guys went to the software update option, during that duration when it was enabled were both 3G arrows animated? I'm only getting an up arrow (uploading).
I've been trying now for hours on the PRL setting and also cdma+lte/evdo auto
Well, I haven't been able to get this to work. Is there anything else I should try besides the software update trick before returning my phone to stock and returning it to VZ?
i had the same problem as you OP, but after pressing check new enough times and jumping straight into the browser, i got it to stick. took at least 12 tries, however and i'll see if it lasts.
love the franklin avatar btw!
also, is anyone using juice defender? idk if its coincidence or not, but i d/l the program last night and this is the first data connectivity problem i've had with the tbolt.
Yes, I had both arrows. But, for some reason when I would open the browser to google it wouldn't work. I tried about 4 times, each time it would show data, but I wouldn't have a connection. Also, it would show data being up and down stream, but I couldn't manage to get it to work when I tried it.
Hiya all,
I recently (yesterday) updated my S3 to Jelly Bean via Kies. I'm in UK so we kinda got it late.
Since then however, the Wifi is being a right *****. It keeps dropping and then few seconds go by, reconnects, then a minute goes, then repeats the cycle of hell! I've made sure the power saving mode for Wifi is off by dialling #*0011*.
WTF do I do?
Thanks.
Backup data and factory reset .
jje
Factory reset does not help here. I wipe as a matter of updating the OS (old Windows tech habits) and in-fact it has gotten worse recently. I'd not noticed any problem in the first week but now I see it reconnecting frequently while in use. Often pick it up from the desk to see it wasting my cell data.
It seems to be a known issue, that helps, but not a lot of info so I'll bump this with a reply. Anyone know any more yet? Totally stock system here.

I also have this problem after upgrading to Jelly Bean. It completely drops for no apparent reason even though it's still says connected and signal is good. I then need to turn the WiFi off then back on to get it working again. I need help getting this problem fixed as soon as possible or I will end up downgrading back to ICS.

Back to the topic, I have the same prob, works after diconnecting/reconnecting, annoying but u get use to it & not that big of a deal IMO, but granted that considering the device's price one shouldn't have to fiddle with it to get that kind of basic option to fully function.

Please read my post >>here
This is a carrier issue that you are experiencing. It can be corrected relatively easy.
If you do not have root access, then root with CF-Root and perform the said modifications and then Un-Root your phone. Simple
Have a lot of trouble with the Mini here
And i tried most of the tricks / tips to speed it up
factory reset help only for a few hours. Right now it is 4.4.2 on it
i tried root, link 2 sd and all that., greenify, flashing rom, disable apps, remove bloatware, well a lot...
I unrooted, factory reset again (many times)
same trouble.
It crashes randomly on:
Put on charge
call in
call out
Opening camera
Unlock
Using a program or two.
Seems like memory trouble. but i have alsways 200 / 300 mb free
is it hardware problem?
Try flashing a kdz and factory reset.
Also, try without installing any apps for a day or two.

No hardware fail as the service center said, and delivered back me. (free check and a factory reset, as i haven't tried that before!!!)
Phone has never been dropped, and treated very well. All happened After the last Firmware update (approx 2 months ago, and approx 2 weeks after buying it)
It was OTA update, and i suspect that was it. (wish i knew what firmware it was out of the box, cus it worked PERFECT)
Before the update i didn't think about rooting it, cus my lady (that use the phone) only has like 5 apps. But it still uses alot of memory, but it was holding.
After the OTA, all changed.
So i rooted it, made a ext4 on the sd card, and installed link2sd. worked ok for about 12 hours.
Crashed on Putting on charge, crashed incoming calls, viber, skype, Hangouts, some ticket app for bus and train.
and in general on all apps, cam, phone app and so on.
But it always had 200/300MB free RAM, so that was strange
Factory reseted maybe 4 to 6 times, never helped
Today i flashed KDZ, but has not installed any apps get. So lets see.
seems like the KDZ flash worked out ok.
Been stable now for 3-4 days. But i don't dare to root it, just in case a updates come.
Will it get 4.4.4?

Most likely, no.
But it will get Android L

well after 10 days usage (non rooted, and only 2 extra Apps installed, phone is back crashing again. 4 to 8 times a day. For example it crashed when alarms starts, or using camera, or just opening browser.
Any suggestions?

IDK, perhaps a month?
Anyway, I think the crashes are hardware-related.
It should be covered under the warrant.

Just had phone at the dealer, and they gave me the same phone back, and told me to wait for the New Software update, as they could not find anything hardware problems on it.
Bet they only tested it for a few minutes, and they didn't experienced any crash either. Problem is that the phone crashes after it has not been used for a few hours, and start to use it.
Didnt help to flash the KDZ either so I'm stucked.
Waiting 3-4-5 months for android L is kinda not a option, so i wanna go back in time:
What i remember, was that the phone was OK before the 4.4.2 version was updated. I do not remember what was on it before, but if someone know what version it could have been installed on it before the latest update came (OTA came around end july/beginning of August -Scandinavia) , and where i can find that KDZ firmware (not latest one, but one before) i would be grateful, and i will test that.
A little update:
For now this helped:

To read the file system, unlock the phone, swipe down the notification area, and tap the "files" button in the USB section (iirc)
My only issue seems to be 4G - my handset upgraded to B371 at the weekend, and was OK yesterday, but 4G was playing up again this morning. I had the same issue with B330 and B370, and ended up rolling back to B180. I'll see how the rest of the week goes, otherwise I might be rolling it back again.
@jaffas21 as @lybad suggested, upon connecting your phone to PC, swipe down the notification panel, and you'll there see two options Photos & Files, if you select Files you can transfer files from phone to PC via MTP protocol, its the most easy way. And yes the latest update(B371) makes camera bad. I think its a beta update, so bugs are expected.

My handset is running B371, as is my wife's - but it was released as an OTA, and neither of us are on the beta updates list. So I'm not convinced it's a beta release.
(Though I still have 4G issues with marshmallow on mine - through B330, B360, and B371)
@lybad what exactly is this 4G issue?

Enough to drive me up the wall.
Sorry for the length of this:
I don't have 4G near my home, but I do when I go to work in Dundee.
When I got the handset, it was running Android L - when MM came out I did a manual install of B330. When I run any of the MM builds, my phone is fine in 3G/2G mode, but when I set it to use 4G mode, there is no guarantee it will work at all. For example, you can try the Speedtest app, and it might come back with Network Communication errors, or download speeds of 1 or 2 Mb/s. If you visit a web page, network traffic will be bytes/s rather than Kb/s. If you switch the phone to use 3G, in the same spot, you will probably get 10-15Mb/s in Speedtest. Reboot the phone, using 4G, and you might get faster speeds, but more often than not, you won't. I did a factory reset, and that didn't make any difference.
So I rolled back my handset to B180, and everything was fine again - 4G worked flawlessly, and the world was good. At the weekend my phone told me B371 was available, so I did an OTA update, and we're back to the same thing. 3G is fine, 4G isn't - reboot, and you might be OK, but go home, and back into work the following day, and it doesn't work again.
So really frustrating, and all Honor have suggested is to roll back to B180 again.

It might be a bug in Marshmallow update, they need to compile the modem more properly in order to solve this issue. I don't have 4G in my area so can't test it for now, but after a couple of weeks maybe I will. Let's see how it goes for me. BTW have you tried it on any Custom ROMs?

If it helps, I'm on 3 UK as a network - I'm needing to check with them to see if they know of any issues with MM, as I saw on one of the official Honor forums they were validating the builds a couple of weeks ago for OTA. Mine was a Vmall purchase though.
No, I'm not one for playing around with ROMs really - I just keep an eye on the forums on XDA as they tend to be most informed on devices generally.
Hi guys,
I'm still on Nougat 7.1.2 with my Swift 2+. I'm waiting for the OTA, don't want to side load if I can help it.
I'm trying to get an idea of the proportion of people that are still waiting for their OTA and those that have already received it.
EDIT: nobody received Oreo via the OTA? oh boy...
I just got the OTA, posting this from Oreo
I manually updated (to check for OTA), and am downloading it now
Updated to 8.1 using the official download and now stuck in boot loop. Fortunately remembered to back up my data first.
Update - factory reset got me going again. The next day the battery crashed to 0% charge in no time at all.
All OK now... fingers crossed.
wish I had not chaged to Ori,,
Hi
Have two swift 2x phones in family
my one received the OTA wedensday,
performed the change,
now have no on line data, only over wifi,
Some paramiter like ATP that needs changing but Virgin does not knwo how to
Other phone received invitation to change to 8.1,
weve declined for now thank you....
Mine works fairly well, except for a camera issue (and less than stellar battery life).
wish I had not chaged to Ori,,

Did initially have camera problem,
but after power of and reset,
all good,
after received the phone did 3 OTA upgrades in a row, 2 nougat then oreo. After oreo you have to restart the phone to make camera work again. Still I wish there was LOS or RR or AEX roms on 8.1
Turns out it was an issue with my SD card (128GB, which is not officially supported). With 32GB it works fine. Still disappointing (because it worked before the update)
Got it last night.
Phone been utterly terrible since.
Just done a factory reset hoping it would fix it.
It's taking time to re-setup because of constant repeating steps..
This update has made my phone so much poorer.
I thought it might be the SD card so I went from 64gb down to 32gb.
I even made the SD portable instead.
Done 3 factory resets...
It's randomly (but often!) unresponsive
