Today was the first time I installed a mod onto my device. I updated the radio to TheOfficial_Nexus1_Radio_Update_4.04.00.03_2.zip and flashed CM5.0.6. Everything has been great, EXCEPT my device won't connect to 3G coverage. It clearly displays 3G, but no internet applications will load (ie browser, email, weather). When I force the device to use only 2G / Edge, then it works fine, but obviously speeds are SLOW. WiFi too works flawlessly. Any ideas? I tried going back to TheOfficial_Nexus1_Radio_Update_4.03.00.21_2.zip and this did NOT solve the problem.
Ideas please? My N1 has become a 2G device in a matter of hours, SUCKS!
I should add I'm on T-Mobile and prior to any modifications today I had excellent 3G coverage.
For testing purposes...have you tried to flash 5.0.3 and seeing if your phone still has 3G issues?
I will try this right now. I was told it doesn't matter if I flash the radio before or after install... true?
No difference with 5.0.3. When 3G is displayed no data will transfer. When H is displayed, then I get good data transfer. However, the H is only there maybe 1 time every 5 minutes or so.
Could be an issue with not having rooted the device properly? When I rooted I never got the SU notification like I have seen in some threads showing a picture where you have to click "allow" for the device to allow root. I do have the app superuser permission on the device, but it's empty when I open it.
Thx
Well you can always just go from scratch. Get into bootloader, flash all of the stock PASSIMG images and then start over...
-flash recovery
-go into recovery, perform the traditional wipes
-flash the rom of choice
-reboot and see what happens
Does this happen in all locations or just at home/work/etc?
i've only been working out of home today. tomorrow ill be a better test. i took suggestions from posts i placed in the official cm5.0.6 thread in the rom development forum... and i changed some information in the build.prop. i think it has actually helped my issue... will be reporting back if i'm wrong..

Hi guys,
Since yesterday morning my phone has been on G (edge/gprs) only instead of 3G (hsdpa) like it was almost always before. I'm on voda uk with good 3g signals in London and phone is showing -51 to -65 dBm (22-31 asu) which i think is good.
Also my wifi that always worked is also not connecting anymore...what gives? Regarding wifi i mean it connects but home page doesn't load any more on constantly refreshing even once. It does on my laptop on same wifi signal.
I have just updated normal apps like handcent sms/linda manager etc. since yesterday and restarted phone many times and done nothing drastic...so why these data problems all of a sudden?? Thanks
Carrier: Vodafone UK
Country / Language: English (UK)
OS / Browser / build number (if applicable): update 1 - stock rom
Tried soft reset by pulling out battery...on restart phone showed 3g for a second before wifi kicked in...still no page load...after switching off wifi it again went to G only!! Damn I don't wanna have to lose and reinstall all data/apps!! This so irritating..I love this fone and this is how it treats me!
Lunacy!
Now the fone automatically goes to 3G UMTS/HSDPA (wifi off) but with atrocious signal strengths of 0 dBm or -111 dBm with 1 or no bars!!!
I always get awesome signals in my room arnd -55 to -69 dBm and all 4 bars so what the hell is going on!!
Is this vodafone's issues or my N1 is dying slowly!?
Back to G n no wifi use!
Any help anyone?? please!
Not sure how to help you, but I thought I'd mention this if it's at all related:
my phone has twice now shown that it's on Edge connection, but run at 3G speeds. Not sure what the bug is but I ran a speedtest and was able to stream Pandora and browse the web without any trouble.
thanks for that but i'd sure love to see some pro's to help me out!
sounds like a carrier issue... however if you are rooted, try reflashing your radio and see if that helps and you may want to try each radio out as well
wifi is working today with full signal but on mobila data it stays on G with full signal but 3G sometimes with 1 bar or no signal...wtf!

When was the last time everything worked correctly? What have you do with your phone since then (different rom, different radio flash, new mods that alter system files, etc)? Have you tried calling your carrier to see if they are having problems in your region?
Nandroid backup, factory restore, reflsh cyanogen, test. If it works again you've got some bad setting stored. I can't help you find that setting but at least you've narrowed it down.
If this is affecting your wifi, then it's not a carrier issue. It's something with your phone.

2 days ago all was well. I just updated linda manager/handcent sms and 1-2 apps from market. I'm on stock rom so no radio etc. for me and I don't mess with system files and keep my phone clean by clearing caches etc. Thanks anyway.

Do a factory reset or a full wipe through recovery. If that doesn't resolve the issue, then let us know.
My g1 have big problem, it loss signal all day, most the time. I tried turn on air plane mode and turn off, or retart the phone, wipe, up another rom, up newest radio version, use 2g network only. But it doesn't work.
It loss signal random, i can't control or do something to have signal again. even i change many other sim cards. but i discover one thing: seem this problem related air plane mode. because in some rom version, i turned off air plane mode but it didnt, even i restart my phone it still on. i must take out the battery for long time and put it again.
Some time it have signal again but it only for short time.
How can i fix this problem, please help me.
please someone can help me. my phone isn't a phone anymore
hhmmm...Try to upgrade to the latest radio for g1. If that doesn't help, maybe your rom has messed up apn settings or the service in your area dropped.

I can add few things to this since I experience loss of signal multiple times every day:
I have 2 G1s. On both of them it happens:
1. Using different ROMS (CM, Super-D, OpenEclair)
2. Using different recoveries (RA 1.5.2 and 1.6.2)
3. At different times of the day
4. Using different radios (older radio and the newest one, sorry I can never remember the numbers)
5. Across different states ( I took one of them thru 5 different states and it kept loosing signal)
What happens is that I start a program that requires data (twidroid, FB, Gmail, Market) and I see my connection get stuck on the uplink, go away completely and restart the radio. Another way it will do it, is that it will stay on blank screen (or downloading screen) and there will be no uplink or downlink shown)
Tried: wiping, re-flashing radio, re-flashing rom, getting rid of few apps.
Anyone with any insight on this? I can get a log next time this happens if anyone wants to take a look.
Thank!
i tried many diferent rom, radio, and recorvery too. but it still doesn't work?
Now i discover that any connect in my g1 seem doesn't work. wifi can search but when i connected it can't open any page even google. gps can receavie signal, bluetooth can turn on but no one can see me or i can' connect to my headset bluetooth.
May i think it is mainboard's problem? i opened my g1 and see anten signal very perfect, don't have any space or something like that.
Ok, I just got my G1 and rooted it asap. It worked fine, 3G worked, and I flashed to DangerSPL, 2.22.23.02, Cyanogen 6. All was well. I then saw the thread for SuperFroyo, and was attracted to the idea of Cyanogen that was supposedly even more optimized. Don't really know what I was thinking, don't fix what ain't broke.
Anyway, I wiped and restored, then flashed SF. I soon found that I had no 3G, and the fact that half the text when flashing SF were in spanish scared me. So I decided to wipe+restore and flash CG6 back, and flashed google apps while I was at it. This brought me more trouble: 3g was still missing, I was getting MASSIVE fc's, and the home button didn't work. I decided to re-flash, and everything worked, but still no 3G. Just for kicks, I flashed to SF and back to CG6. No 3G.
Basically what I mean by "no 3G" is that it'll appear to function, but when accessing the internet I get sent to a page saying that i don't have it activated on my plan, even though i definitely do (just checked too). So what do I do?
Well my friend. Pick a rom first off and read the threads of that rom and you won't have spanish text. Second of all make sure you do a full wipe when flashing from cm6 to superfroyo. Third type *#*#4636#*#* in your phone dialer. select wdcma prefered. Then you should get your data connection back

So I've been messing around with more roms lately trying to find one that has all the features I like and that are easy to use. I am on the latest clockwork recovery through rom manager. I was on the korean radio 5.08? and flashed around with superhybrid, miui bundle, desire hd, rodriguez miui. and an oc-kernel for 1152mhz? something like that.
My phone just won't connect to the data connection no more, on any of the rom. i tried changing my APN to a couple. I tried switching back to my usual rom, I tried upgrading to the radio to the latest korean radio of 5.12. I was able to get edge connection for a brief moment, but it barely works. When I say brief i mean like 2 minutes then there goes my edge connection....
I'm hoping this is network side in this general area only, but is there a possible problem on my phone? any solution if it is?
I would try it out at different part of town that you usually get 3G.
If it's like that all the times everywhere than it might be the phone but I doubt it.
I had the same problems for about 2 weeks here at work (everywhere else it work fine). Tmobile must have fixed the tower cause it's working fine now at work also.
I have a d5803 - relocked bootloader rooted and running a 5.1.1 rom. T-Mobile. Was working totally fine. Decided to try the 6.0 tft beta from the general section. I originally had the .2099 version but the OTA I'm at the latest.
It was great, but then I noticed sometimes my signal strength bar would have an exclamation point and my data wouldn't work. However, it still said LTE. A super quick toggle of airplane mode would revive it, and it would work again. I am a limo driver so I drive around, and it was kinda random. It would be fine in many areas for quite a while, but then would go inactive.
I figured it was a bug in the beta version, so I went back to a 5.1.1 rom. But I then noticed it still happened. I think it only happened once because I ended up trying to clear all data and completely fresh wipe to do the 6.0 version again. It still happens. I believe it tends to happen when I'm moving and it has to switch towers. Also, when I'm on a phone call, it is supposed to go to H/H+, which it does, but there is NO data connection. A phone call anytime will kill the internet.
Any ideas? I really like this 6.0 version but I might have to go back a stock tft file to see if the issue is still there. It all started when I decided to flashtool the 6.0 version.
Thanks
