Help!!! Sudden loss in data connection!!! - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was just using my g1 when suddenly the data connection symbol went away and my phone stated telling me I had no connection. It hasnt come back either. But I put my sim card in a different phone and the data connection is working! I've even factory reset my g1 and it still has no data connection. Now i cant even reregister my device without the data connection... SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!!

i just had the same issue for the past half hour. i just re-flashed the radio again and its working fine now, maybe give that a shot
heres the link for the 1.22.14.11 radio update that i use:
http://jf.odiness.com/RC33/RC33radio_update_testkeys.zip

I called into T-Mobile and if you are on their network there is an outage on the East Coast right now.

I was roaming around times square when i lost my network connectivity.. a few restarts later i gave up and decided to flash once i got home..
luckily saw this post before doing it

oh man. and i thought i was the only on going crazy with this.
i believe mine was out from 6pm to about 9pm.
and i thought it was just my house cuz as soon as i stepped foot outside
that evening, everything came back.

NEVERMIND
Turns out it was a worldwide network connection issues, it was fixed around 3am this morning. Thanx everyone

Hmm, that's interesting. I had the same problem yesterday and again today. The strange thing is it only seems to affect my G1 and not the ones around me. I switched to my T-Mobile Wing and had no issues with connectivity.

Actually, I just bought an unlocked T-Mobile G1 yesterday and I am using it on GPRS in the Caribbean. I set up the APN and everything was working fine. A few hours later, the GPRS icon disappeared and after all kinds of efforts I decided to re-set the phone. I am still having the problem. The data connection appears to be intermittent, but once the SIM is placed in my Touch Cruise there is no problem. It seems to be related to the G1. I am also stuck at the set-up screen and can't use my phone.

Only times i've experienced gprs or edge or hspda connection loss, have been when my operators have warned about maintenence in the area where i live.. Never had any of those issues with my g1..
JF 1.43 with copy.sh app and data useage (app2sd)
baseband is 62.33.20.08U_1.22.14.11 (rc33 with testkeys, though the build states release keys when i read there... Might be because the phone is bought in germany and the key z and y are swapped in place on the keyboard resulting in a qwertz keyboard

3G No longer working?

I live in the Chicago area and am testing out AT&T service and the Tilt (thinking of switching from Verizon). Anyway, late last night the Tilt started searching for signal and could not find the Voice or Data network. I tried doing a hard reset... still nothing. When I got up this morning, it was still searching. I tried another hard reset, and now it is able to get on the voice network. The data network is working as well, but only as Edge, as it does not seem to see 3G capabilities anymore.
My question is do you think this is an issue with the radio, the SIM or simply AT&T's network. I was using 3G with no issues since Friday. The phone is brand new and was working flawlessly until last night. I did not perform any tweaks, or install any software other than Flexmail.
Your input is appreciated.

Dont worry, it could be just a network (provider) issue.
I got 3G signal at home, but sometimes (very rare) I got GPRS only
It will be ok
i am in chicago and all of today couldn't get on 3G, I hope it is network because I didn't change anything from when it was working till now
I don't think this is a network problem. For 2 days everything was fine. Now, mine does the same thing as eras2r. Works fine on Edge but when I am on 3G, it not only fails to connect for data, but it also kicks me off the voice network. Takes about 5 minutes or more to reconect. Sometimes it throws me out when 9n 3G area for no reason. AT&T told me to return, but since I was Premiere, I could only do an exchange. Total suck. Hopefully I get my new one and it won't have this prob.
Turns out it was a radio ROM problem. Need to make sure you are using:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Kaiser/Radio/KAIS_Radio_Only_1.27.12.17_CustomRUU.rar
I had 1.27.12.11 and it was killing me, but now all is good in the World!

Is this normal? Signal Loss

Hi:
I have a Tilt on AT&T's network. Today I was about an hour away from home, and noticed a complete loss of signal. My other phone, a Motorola Razr V3xx, had 3 bars of signal at the same time. I had this same problem in the same rural area before, and just assumed there was nothing I could do about it.
This time though I decided to turn off 3G on the Tilt (since I know it can sometimes interfere with reception), and still nothing. Then I did a soft reset (still had 3G off), and I finally found a signal, as well as the Roaming icon.
Is this normal behavior? The Razr also has 3G, but apparently must switch over to edge when it is in a non-3G area. Why would my Tilt need to be manually reset in order to find a signal?
Thanks!
Hi:
I'd really appreciate any reply
Even if it's to tell me that this is unheard of behavior. My warranty is about to expire, and need to have my phone replaced before it expires if this is a fault unique to my phone.
Thanks again!

I'm not sure why but your phone should have switched automatically. For me, I have my band set to GSM manually.
Are you using usually using 3G with no problem? There's a hardware fault in some devices that will appear about a few months of usage where 3G becomes inoperative. When connected on 3G calls will fail, and one needs to force GSM and reboot to be able to use the phone again. Return to service center needed for repair, mine is there now.
Hi:
Thanks so much for your replies!
I think I probably need a replacement phone, so I guess on Monday I'll call and spend the 15+ hours p) on the phone to AT&T to get a new one, lol.
Kilrah, yes my 3G usually works fine, but apparently when I go into a non 3G area it just loses signal. My phone never really gets great reception anyway, so hopefully the replacement will be an all around improvement.
Thanks again!!

Tilt radio not working properly

I have an ATT Tilt with the official 6.1 ROM specifically for the ATT Tilt. I downloaded it from HTC's website. Start screens shows;
R 1.65.21.18
G 25.88.40.05H
D 3.57.00.00
Phone was working great for months UNTIL yesterday. When I turn the phone radio on it takes several minutes to connect with ATT network. Then I get a message that says "there is a problem connecting to the GPRS network in your area". I can use the phone to make or receive a call, but then after approx 10 minutes with the phone radio on it loses the network connection.
I called ATT. They were less than helpful. They tell me to buy a new phone.
I searched this forum and also googled this problem with no good results.
I have hard reset the phone and still experience the same problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

were is your area.
Central PA. Up until yesterday I had great coverage. Another co-worker with a Tilt can stand right beside me and get service. ATT said it could be the SIM card.
I put my coworkers SIM card in my phone and it took a good 3 minutes to connect with the network. I couldn't keep the card in my phone long (he had to go) but it stayed connected for 5 minutes.
When I turn my phone off and then back on, it will connect to the network after several minutes, but looses the connection shortly after.

If the ATT techs haven't told you to do so already, try System>Connections>Connection Setup
I have done everything included in their instructions at http://www.wireless.att.com/support...0&tutorialsCategory=Browser&tutorialId=614440
but still no luck.
I am having the same issue only recently lots of call drops phone just jumping from 3G to Edge and back again. I also keep getting the login message for MedaiNet.
I live in Tampa, Florida.
Again At&t Tech support was completely useless I am so frustrated that I was actually looking at getting a different phone but I wasn't sure if that would really solve my problems.
Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated.

strange things with signal and data connection

so I'm on tmobile us in fl and my phone worked just fine a week ago, but for the weekend im in Mississippi and was having strange issues with both signal and data. Neither can connect and they both waiver from on to off, is this just because I'm in Mississippi, is my radio messed up (even tho I just reflashed it not 2 long ago), or whats up?
edit: Oh and it seems like I'm stuck on this brutally slow edge network at all times over here too

Have you checked Tmobile coverage in Mississippi? Might not be what you expect it to be, or you have 3g turned off...just thoughts though.

[Q] Is it a radio problem or network problem?

I had CM 6.0 installed and everything was working great until a couple days ago. My phone would periodically have no service and I cannot send texts, make calls or have data. The 3G symbol shows upload and then the H symbol shows upload, but then no download bar. This problem got worse as the time went on. I also had the latest nightly installed but no luck.
I decided to wipe everything and revert back to stock. Everything was flashed back to stock, including recovery, the newest radio, etc. But my phone still doesn't work. When I turn on the phone, it just shows no service or no 3G symbol. However, when I put my roommates AT&T sim card in, it works on edge.
I am on T-Mobile, and it is really frustrating. So right now I have to use my old flip phone.
So is it my radio's problem or sim card?
hey same here my brother aswell
are you on the 2.2.1 update? I am having the same exact problem. I'm running stock rom, 2.2.1. This started 2 days ago for me. However when i switch my phone to 2G only under settings > network my phone works. I am using the 5.99 tzone are you? I am curious to see if this issue is only for 5.99 tzone 3G leechers or all users of the nexus one. a guy in seattle i spoke to has the same issue. so does my brother who also has the 5.99 tzone.
yea, im on the new 2.2.1 update too. but i have the unlimited data plan.
so i did some more testing with my friends samsung vibrant with my sim card, everything worked great. got like 2mb down.
i used his sim card in my phone, and same problem. it only shows upload and no download. but i was able to send and receive texts and make calls, but no data.
yea something is wrong for sure man just called my buddy and he has unlimited data and 3g is not working at all
internet2.voicestream.com works fine put it in apn in settings
that worked for me, but still only on 2G.
every time im on 3G, its so sporadic. and not reliable at all
is it possible for the radio hardware to die over time?
