3G Radio activity

Hello all,
I am having some issues with the 3G connection with my Dream that started a few weeks ago. There are times when it works just fine and I am able to use apps/maps/browser with no difficulty what-so-ever. Then out of no where it will stop working. I will have 3 or 4 bars, and it says I am connected at 3G, but only outgoing ('Up') arrow on the status bar lights up, while the incoming ('Down') arrow will not light up at all. Then finally after various wait times (2 to 10 minutes) the '3G' will disappear and light back up as if the radio is resetting and will work again for a few minutes before repeating the same process over again. If I enable the 2G only connection it works just fine. I do not see any pattern or correlation to this disconnect. I have tried wiping, reformatting the SD and re-flashing my phone with no help...
Any ideas? TIA
ROM: Cyan 4.0.4 Stable

Radio: 26I

Try airplane mode when this problem occurs.

You mean enable airplane mode and then disable it again to reset the connection? I just tried it...did not help. Still sending information out but not downloading anything in return...

it could be your phone
but also it could be 3g service in your area.. it could be unstable or weak..
i.e. i get terrible 3g service in my nearest mall,but 2g works fine.
but in my house my 3g service is almost perfect.

R u using a datasim or not??
Check with ur telecom operator. Sometimes u need to be using a data only sim to be using 3g on the g1. It happened to me. Otherwise there might be some apn settings wrong or missing.

Thanks for the reply guys. I thought it could be the 3G in my area but I have had my phone for well over 6 months now and it has worked great at my house. I know t-mobile is still working on their 3G roll-out so it could be that as well. I really hope it is not my phone but with my luck...who knows...
As far as the datasim, I am not sure. Like I said, I have had my phone for 6+ months and 3G used to work just fine. Is there any way I can tell by looking at my T-mobile SIM to see if it is a datasim or not?

My G1 is doing the same thing!
I am in Atlanta and i have been noticing the same exact problem. I am also noticing that i am suddenly getting mobile versions of websites that i usewd to always get the full web version. I am on cyan 4.1.7. Not sure if it is the rom or the service but nonetheless i am experiencing the exact same problem.

Weird stuff... I am in Los Angeles in case people are wondering.

if you want to take more precautions..
u can go to a corporate tmobile store and ask them to replace your sim card. its just something basic. some sim cards go bad. i had to replace mine twice.
if you go to a booth in the mall or whatever they may charge u $25. in a corporate store,its usually free.
or you can call tmobile and ask them to take off your data plan and then add it cak on again.. this again is a basic troubleshoot for data related problems..
and if it is your phone(i assume you bought ur phone from tmobile) you should have a 1 year warranty. tmobile might exchange or call htc... all you really have to do is pay shipping.

Awesome, thanks for your help. I have had to replace my SIM card a couple of times as well with previous phones but that was due to MMS problems. I didnt think of 3G/SIM problems but I hope that is it. Thanks again!!

I went to the T-Mobile store today and they said that a lot of people have come in with the same problem. So apparently it is a problem with the 3G network here in Southern California (at least the area I live in). I am grateful it is not my phone or the ROM but still kinda ticked off I gotta deal with it until the issue is resolved...

Ask them to reimburse you for the downtime

i too have been having the same problem as the original poster!
out of nowhere my 3g starts acting really funky and only the up arrow flases but it doesnt download anything. i hope this is a problem with the 3g network in los angeles otherwise idk what ima do.

whenever this happens.. it usually means that ur in an area that has weak 3g. i.e. i get weak 3g service in my nearest mall.
or ur areas 3g network is bugging up. but most likely its the first one ^

im having the exact same problem. been having it for a week or so. i thought maybe it was a bug in cyans roms but its not. i will lose 3g connection but i have a full connection and only the uplink arrow is on. this is really pissing me off. i live in los angeles and its been having 3g for a while now and i have never experoenced issues like this with 3g

No service?!?!

Hey folks, so this just happened today...
I'm getting the "x" over my service bars, then when I try to search available networks, t-mobile and at&t show up, I try to connect (register) with t-mobile and it says "Sim card does not allow a connection to this network." But last I checked, my sim card says T-Mobile on it!!!!
This happened from one minute to the next. Was talking on the phone, hung up, tried to make another call, and bam! no service. Tried rebooting a couple times, same thing. 4th time i rebooted, it worked! For a few minutes. Then it went back to the "x" and the same message about the sim when trying to connect manually.
By the way I have [ROM]TheOfficial DONUT TMO US/EU & AOSP-1.6_r1.4(dream/sapphire32B)[11/1/09]-v2.1.2, The TMO OTA DRC83 US.
It's rooted, as well.
Any ideas?

have you tried turning of 3g?
mine drops out on 3g and doesnt reconnect untill i turn it off.
but i am cm 4.2.3.1

sorry no ideas but the exact same thing happened to me! I'm on Cyans 4.2.3.1 and i just lost my network completely. i rebooted and nothing. so i tried to flash again, and nothing! now i'm stuck at the beginning where i have tap the android and blah blah blah i can't connect and it says i don't a network connection. this sucks balls. at least i know i'm not the only one

actually there is a global outage with T-Mobile’s voice service. They are aware of the problem and are trying to fix. They say it can take up to 24 hours to get the system back up.
A lot of people are having issues today. So dont worry guys, its NOT rom related...

My airplane mode defaulted to On when I updated to newest CM, make sure you check that. Fixed my issue

nevermind, lost my network again. at least i got 4.2.3.1 running again. i checked my airplane mode, it was off

be patient, us t mobile-ites are screwed until its fixed...

on tmobile usa and not working too, in seattle.
i just noticed this about 10 mins ago.

Same issue here in Florida

yeah, i'm in seattle too.
Their dealing with this globally right now.

i have service back

Same with me, I can't make calls to any number. But I have a data connection.

Chicago No Coverage, shows full bars and Mobile Network is good but none of my texts will get through to any girls wich is a problem... I'mma need to get backups for my backups now =?

maybe we can get out of our etf and go witha real cell phone provider like vzw with it's droolworthy droid

anyone on ATT having data problems?

I've tried various different ROMs but it seems since installing the latest releases of Froyo I can't seem to get any kind of consistent data speeds any more.
One minute I'm getting 2mb the next I'm getting 200 or no connection at all. I've tried going back to other roms even 2.1 (cyanogen) but still have the issue. I don't know if it's network related or something is messed up on my phone.
I'm going to go back to completely stock everything (including radio) and see if I still have problems but just wanted to post here to see if anyone else has seen issues.
Thanks

Before you resort to messing with your device you might want to call AT&T and ask them whats up with you area. I found that 16 out of 20 towers in my arean were down and that was the problem. I continued to question them about what they were doing about it and found that the answer was nothing. The towers are Verizon owned and they cant do anything about it. They gave me a $280.19 credit on my account which almost pays next months bill.
I saved myself from the trouble and got next months bill paid.
Now, thats killing 2 birds with 1 stone

Yeah I've been having absolutely terrible data all day. I got on here looking for a thread about this. I'm also on AT&T. It has pretty much stopped working completely for the last two hours.
I read there was a nationwide outtage and people thought it was T-Mo but they claimed it was HTC.
Not real sure what the issue is but it's getting annoying.

ya... I ended up calling them... they said not having my IMEI # on my account would cause strange things eventually when the system does it's scans or whatever... they added the # to my account and data seems fine now... well, fine within ATT standards lol

I have been having big issues with the data connection since froyo came out.
Data will get "stuck" on sending and no program (browser, sync, market, ...) will be able to send or receive data ... they all time out or give a network connection error.

The did do an IMEI scan. They shut off my data because I had an iPhone plan.
I just hulked out at the ATT store for half an hour.
I'm still using a GSM carrier because I want to switch phones whenever I please.
They put me on the smartphone data plan. What happens if I want to grab an iPhone 4 and switch back and fourth?
So Angry. Don't Tread on Me!

Well I feel like an asshole. SwitchPro Widget disabled my data connection.
**** it I'm getting an iPhone.

anyways i always seem to have some issue with AT&T data. mostly 3G. i could be doing fine at one point and then a few minutes later, i cant load pages or do anything data wise and then im forced to turn the 3G off or connect to wifi if its around. $30/month for this crap?

If you look around, there's a broad array of AT&T data problems the last 2-3 days... So something is going on, and I highly doubt it has anything to do with any hardware, software, etc, except for specific examples of course.

Crock'o's###e (it's an Irish crock, so there's an "e" at the end). All they need is the SIM card #, or ICCID, to authenticate the user. The IMEI is irrelevant and if the network needs it, it's auto-pulled from the switch (GSM phones always broadcasts the IMEI when they connect, it's how they nab people for the data plans). What the rep is doing with the IMEI is just updating the billing system, not anything network related (again, since the network already has your info). Now...what happens is that whenever you change the SIM or IMEI in the billing system, it orders the network to push out an OTA SIM update. There is,however, an option to simply send the OTA without fudging with the numbers.

Oddly enough, I ran the "mark the spot" application and at the end, it asked me if I wanted to run a diagnostic test. I selected yes and then about 10 minutes later it sent me a free text message acknowledging that they received my issue.
Now i'm testing my speeds and everything seems back to normal!
I'm getting consistent 1.5 up and 1.5 down whereas I was getting < 100 each way a couple of hours ago.
I'm in MD btw.

Ya I've always been thinking the same thing but was rather desperate to get better results after a week of poor performance and, surprisingly, after updating the IMEI # I was getting full speeds again. It could be purely coincidental but I guess there's absolutely nothing wrong with having the correct IMEI on file.
ATT has been sucking lately. I don't know if it's the froyo radio or what but I have been experience a lot of lag when the phone has been off for a bit then trying to initiate a data connection. ATT's data network can be absolutely awesome or absolutely SUCK, depending on the time of day and network utilization. I think I'm ready to jump ship to sprint (apparently they've really cleaned up their network problems in central ohio) or verizon but the Nexus has me stuck to ATT until something significantly better comes a long to switch into.
Too bad all newer phones on other networks all have those craptastic sudo layers like sense and blur... that crap and the "personal touch" of the carrier to android releases always ends up in it being a small eternity before you actually get the latest android. This is why the Nexus stays in my hand... I sure hope someone else releases a vanilla android phone that's support as widely as the Nexus.

but yea i hope it has nothing to do with hardware. i was just fine with my nexus one using 3G up until a few days ago. i hope this is AT&T's way of fixing their 3G. this better get cleared up soon cuz im sooo ready to jump onto Verizon's Droid X or jump on T-Mobile's Galaxy S (while still being able to use my sim card on my nexus). i always had issues with AT&T and i just tried to ignore it while i was on the iPhone 3Gs/Nexus One but now this is ridiculous. i have had a few nights were i would get no data service at all. i was scared as sh*t thinking i messed something up while i was flashing (i happened to have flashed something the night i had no data) but when i woke up the next morning, i had data again. im almost fed up with AT&T. im paying $175 a month for two lines and this is the crap i get?

what does that do? does it help AT&T find the spotty service areas?

[Q] T-Mobile Service Down Frequently

Has anyone noticed random times when your phone just won't connect to T-Mobile? No data/text/call.
This has been happening to me frequently when I was on CM7 and now the stock update. It just won't connect for an hour. I'm on 5.12 radio too which I believe is the most up to date.
The bars just go gray and sometimes have the x on them which means it can't even find the operator.

Where are you located? I am in Fort Worth Texas and have no issues with service except for certain areas which have never had decent reception.

No problems here and been running CM7 nightlies.
Also running radio 5.12

Gainesville, FL. It shouldn't be the location since I've never had problems here in the past year

I haven't had any problems in Huntsville, Al. Also note, the 5.08 and 5.12 radios were originally from korean N1's. While they work fine normally, I believe they are not the most update US radio. I may be wrong on that, but I think that is the way I read it. Personally, I am running 5.08 and thus far, no problems from it.

I believe the Gingerbread OTA requires a 5.XX radio. The 5.08 radio is included in the OTA.

Ahh, Didn't pay attention since I already had 5.08 running on my phone.

Over the past few weeks I have been having similar problems in gainesville. It was pretty bad, I had no service for almost 24 hours on friday/saturday, the 25th and 26th I think. The phone will sometimes show signal, sometimes no signal - either way I get no text/data/calls. Im running WP7 and CM7 on an HD2, but my friends with tmobile experience similar problems here. Where exactly are you located? I am near the corner of archer and 13th st. and have no signal right now. I chatted with tmobile on friday when my phone was down and they said they were working on a tower. Just got off the chat with them now and they say they see no problems, but have filed a service request.

I'm on the corner of 13th and University. Yes, the same was for me on Saturday it was completely gone all morning. It came back really well on Saturday night but now its completely intermittent. I've tried reverting radios, and now I am even running Froyo to see if that was the issue. It relieves me its not my radio though if its just one of the towers here, but I'll try and talk to someone who has T-Mobile. It's terrible though

You will be fine downgrading through normal flash means. I have downgraded before after trying the 5.12 radio for a day.

I noticed a huge difference when going from cm7 nightleys w/5.12 to stock 2.3.3...no drop anything
also, if your connection is slow, check to see if you hit the data cap...f'ers got me last month with over 5gb dled... they just slow your connection speed

Maybe I did, I have been using my phone more often with Gingerbread and such coming out/end of the month. How did you check your cap?

Also keep in mind this can be due to t-mobile messing with the network whether is be upgrades or maintenance I dunno, although I haven't heard of it going down for periods of time that long before.

I just had a long chat with a T-Mobile rep.
She had me turn off my phone and did a hard reset on her side of things that seemed to have cured the problem for now. Only 2G would connect, however. I asked her why this would happen and she proposed "weather fluctuation" and that a hard reset can be achieved by letting the phone sit over night without a sim card in it......
I still believe my problem is going to persist, but hopefully this can help anyone. I am gonna jump back up to the OTA too (sitting on froyo during this).

They tired to have me do this - apparently they are just trying to get your phone to connect to another tower. It didn't work for me, I guess there are no other towers my phone could reach. I bet your only getting 2g b/c you are connecting to a tower that is working but further away so you get weaker signal.

Though that would make sense, it seems like whenever I don't have data, I also don't have voice/text. Which doesn't make sense to me. I can imagine having voice/text and no data. But it either all seems to work or all doesn't. I'm still up though
EDIT: Lost it again. What's going on T-Mobile?

Just Lost All Cellular Data On Verizon

Strange thing has happened to my beloved N6. This was a Tmob purchased device. Activated on via an existing VZ sim & been working since day 1 no prob. However, about 3 hours ago or so, its lost all its cellular data. Tried reboot, take sim in/out, etc. No luck.
Also, under Network Operators, choosing VZ and trying to register fails - Selected network (Verizon) unavailable
Anyone seeing similar behavior?

By ANY chance, did you put the TMobile SIM back in? For whatever reason, when I did that, I had to factory reset my device to get it to recognize the VZW SIM.

I dont think so, but there are an awful lot of sims floating around my house. Strange as it happened mid morning after I had been using data for quite some time. Then poof. No signal.

What state you live in? Indiana has had a blackout for all cell carriers since yesterday/today around knox,greene, and other counties. Bloomington, columbus.

That really, really sucks. Is it possible that Mobile Data is out in your area?

VZ data was ok for co-workers, so data was def good.
Ended up doing a factory reset, and all is good again. I can see a difference in my Cellular Network Screen though...
When I first got it, it was using 'Global' as the 'Preferred Network Type'. When it was busted early today, that was set to LTE with no option for Global. Also, earlier, it would let me scan for available carriers...now after the factory reset...its locked into VZ once again.
I didnt do anything, to my knowledge, to cause it to do any of this...And thats the scary part.

here you go.

Happened to me as well. I'm unlocked and rooted on a custom ROM. It just happened to me 2 hours ago. I had to reflash the ROM to gain service again. Bought from Motorola and used on Verizon with an activated sim.

Here too. Motorola bought using an activated verizon sim. Happened a few times. Once in a well covered 4g area. That time recovered on it's own.
Last night happened again. Reboot didn't fix, but airplane mode toggled on and then off did the trick.

I had to flash my ROM again and go through activation before I was able to regain service again. Not sure what happened.

This has been happening to me since last night. The signal icon shows I have half signal, but no LTE and it has an exclamation point on the bars.

Are you running a cm based ROM? Some cm Roms have different RIL's and can cause this. Mine is clean stock ROM so I'm not sure why it happened.

It was actually my T-Mo account. It was suspended for having an overdue bill. It was our first bill with T-Mo and they never informed me that we were not signed up for paper bills, only paperless. I just made the online payment 20 mins ago and everything is working fine for everyone on our account. I also changed our paying options to paper billing. Thanks though!

Well with my issue I have no idea why I lost service. I notice that with any ROM you flash the cell network on version stays on global. Even stock, I had mine set to LTE which said recommend but that may have been why I lost all service and had to reflash to get it back.
