Okay so over the past few days I've been flashing a bunch of diff roms to see what I like. I've had a constant problem with getting mms to work on any of them. Well I was doing all of this from home and always had wireless to use for data, hence I used it.
Tonight, however, after flashing a few diff roms I found out I didn't have a data connection at all. Tried a couple diff cm6 nightlies and the blackmod of cm6, and after flashing the only way I can access the internet is through wi fi. Otherwise I got nothing.
Sooo, maybe my mms problem was just this all along or maybe not. Anyway, what could be the cause of losing all data connectivity. Phone says it's connected in status. And the widgets somehow magically update. But the browser, market,mms, etc don't work at all.
I'm gonna flash the 0.7 aospmod and see what happens. Any help you can offer is appreciated.
And yes, I might just be an idiot. Forgive me.
Just flashed aospmod v.07 and same ****. No data connectivity.
What gives? I feel stupid.
a guess
possible APN settings issue, did you flash back to a 2.1 sense rom, and try an Over The Air activation and update profile?
I honestly don't know but thats a guess... I use my phone with pageplus (verizon) and editing my APN settings is what fixed it for me.
Ruu. Started fresh.
Everything seems to be okay.
Thanks.
This happens on a lot of roms. I've found to fix it all u have to do is toggle on and off either or both airplane mode and moblie network.
I found having to open browser and put in my cell number b4 sprint data would work, also prl update works for me.

I had this happen to me (including all bars showing and things refreshing) and spent several hours working on it only to determine the only solution was to RUU and start over....but its faster this time around because you have nandroids....just flash one after you re root from before you lost data (if you have one) and if not, back up your apps and data with titanium backup or mybackup pro...
(I had tried all the things listed in the previous posts....not saying they wont work for you, but in my case, they didn't)

Hello All,
I have been in battle with Verizon ever since I first got the service with my Thunderbolt. The internet would run for about 15 minutes and then drop connection even though everything said it had an internet connection. Verizon has had me change out the SIM card, reboot the phone, reset to factory, made sure that always on data was enabled. I have used multiple different tethering applications such as PDANet and EasyTether along with rooting my phone and installing wifi apps. (they don't know about the root). I have been through 4 thunderbolts, all had the same problem. Internet would run for about 15 minutes or less and then stop working. Verizon checked out the network and said everything was fine. I now have a LG Revolution and am having the same problems again. So I know its not a phone issue. I read on here that turning off voice privacy can possibly fix this problem. So I did. I pinged google and at 13 minutes into it started to fail. It would time out or if it did successfully ping the time it took was above 3000 ms. I have a 3G connection of -82dBm (4G currently turned off for trouble shooting purposes) and a 1x connection of -90dBm. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Verizon help is useless so im going to you guys who are much more knowledgeable than they are. I have also tried this on several different PCs. I have to reboot my phone to get the internet working properly again.
Sorry about the long post but its all information you guys need to know.
Thanks,

Phone calls are like this on my phone. Its a call dropping fool. But, the signal doesn't cause it, it doesn't change. I think its the software myself. I've run log cat, and all i see is a message that says there was a signal change. I dobt know if its an instantaneous thing that i cant see happen, or if its a crock of shinto.

but my problem isnt with calls being dropped. Its with my internet connection.
Right, but its still over the 3G network. People are having texting issues as well. I think its LG's radio software, is what im saying.

i dont think it has to do with software because I had the same problem on four different thunderbolts. I also rooted it and tried multiple different roms and radios. So unless LG and HTC all use the same radios odds are thats not the problem.
Well, my Xoom runs fine on 3G,and it doesn't have a 4G radio yet. So I doubt it's Verizon.

I was thinking maybe there is something wrong with my account or sim card? The girl that set everything up originally was a complete and utter moron that did not know what what was doing.
temporary problems.
Earlier on when I got my phone I had intermittent connectivity issues, but toggling airplane mode on and off or a reboot usually fixed it...and for longer than 15 min, more like days. I'm in a 4G area now, but for about a month and a half only had 3G. Occasionally I still loose connectivity but both methods I just spoke of will fix it for the long term.
It seems very odd that it's not a widespread problem. It’s just so weird. I can stream several Netflix movies back to back without any breaks, even on 3G.
STOCK LG Revolution
Same Here
I run into this same problem while tethering whether on LTE or 3g. It runs great for a while, hours even, then all the sudden it will quit for anywhere from a minute to an hour or more. Sometimes a reboot will fix it. Interesting thing is I ran into the same problem with my old motorola droid. Make me lean towards this being an issue on verizon's end.
Does this occur when you are connected to wifi or only on 3G/1x? Have you tried testing in different locations with varying signal strengths?
Do you have the problem without root?
I'm wondering if this is an issue with your local network, meaning Verizon's network in your area. Since it happened on two different models and several phones, it would seem to indicate that it is an environment issue rather than a radio or other hardware problem.
I have a similar issue, but with text messages. I can send 3-5 text messages before it just chokes up. Then I have to reboot, or turn airplane mode on/off. Then I can send 3-5 text messages before it chokes again. I've done everything I can think of to isolate the problem, to no avail.
If anyone has a solution to his, please let me know. It's almost worse than not being able to make phone calls.
I also experience the Internet issue, but less frequently. It;s not my ROM, because I've used three different ROMs (including stock) and it was a problem on all of them. I saw on some other forum that it may be an issue generated by switching from a 3G phone to a 4G phone. If the VZW rep who setup your phone didn't do everything right, there's a "behind the scenes" setting that sometimes fails to get changed. The suggestion was to dial *611, describe the problem, and they should be able to fix it (though it may take 2-3 days).
I plan on trying this tomorrow, will let you know if I experience any changes. If anyone else has done this or wants to try it, post your results, and lets see if we can get this figured out.

Does not occur with wifi. Happens both at my house which has weak signal and also at my work about 20 miles away. At my work, the tower is practically in the parking lot.

This is almost certainly a VZW problem, whether they will acknowledge it or not is an open question. The only other things I can think of is a bad SIM card or incorrect programming of the SIM. The OP stated that Verizon swapped his out, so that leaves only the programming or the network.
Wish I had a better answer for you, bro.
My internet connection just started messing up with me today too. The internet will work fine with 4g and wifi but i get no internet connection with 3g only...
I have the exact same problem as the OP.
Really pisses me off. Want to throw vzw out the window and go back to a feature phone sometimes.
Vzw customer support is less than helpful. One will say your phones the problem, but why did I have the exact issue with my Incredible. Another will say its because I live in a fringe market area and we aren't really an important part of the network. WTF?
All I know is when I lived in Cincinnati everything worked fine. Moved up north and about 6 to 8 months later my service slowly starts sucking more and more to the point where I don't even bother looking up info on my Revo anymore.
I got my replacement LG Rev exactly one week ago to today. This one is all sorts of connection/rebooting issues.
Also unfortunately the update was already on my phone when I got, so no root for me
WiFI wont stay connected even if i'm 3ft from my router.
Phone will lose ALL signal and drop in to extend, and I'm only 1 mile from a strong 3g/4g tower.
Whenever i would pop it to airplane mode then back on, it would reboot.
I have 4 days before its been 1 month with this phone. I'm close to sending it back and getting the HTC TB or Droid 3.
In a test of patients I reset my phone to factory default, removed CWM and it updated to v6. I have to say the network connection was the most stable I have ever had it be but in turn the phone was not as smooth. Changing between screens had lag and was not as smooth as the original rom that shipped on the phone.
I have since down graded and re-rooted. The signal is not as stable either.
I was having same issue, especially with certain sites, including my own website for my business.
So far, what has fixed the issue, at least through Linux Network Settings, is setting the MTU to 1300. No other number has worked so great to date, but that seem to load everything and keep everything fast and quick with little issues.

EDIT: Upon further reading, I'm wondering if my reply was not quite on track. Is this problem on the phone itself, or via hotspot/tethering? It seems to be on the phone, so my reply might be way of course.
Last week, my Hero suddenly stopped being able to see my home network. All the other networks around me are visible, but not my home network. I tried the Wi-Fi FXR app on the market, but that didn't work at all. Did a full wipe and installed a fresh new ROM, and I *still* can't see my network. Even manually entering the info for it did nothing.
I can connect to other networks on my Hero, and all my other devices at home can see and connect to my network perfectly fine. Does anybody have any idea what else I can try? Having tried a different ROM and a full wipe of everything, I'm at a loss now.
Edit: Tried actually *formatting* system/data/cache, then installing a different ROM (CM6 this time). Still no luck. My home network never shows up on the list, but all others do. Rebooted my modem and router, even changed the security to just WEP (was WPA2 before, which worked just fine before this randomly happened). I can't understand how, without doing anything, my Hero just suddenly refuses to see my wireless network. It can't just suddenly be incompatible with my router after working just fine with dozens of ROMs and a couple years under their belt.
i feel your pain
when i turn on wifi on my hero, no matter what rom it is, i can see all the other access points right away. but my ssid wont pop up, i have to wait a good 3 minutes until it pops up and connects. have you tried waiting longer for it to show up? worth a shot.
I tried letting it sit for at least 5-10 minutes. I'll let it sit next to my router for a longer time and see if that does anything.
I let it sit for a few hours, but nothing popped up. Tried a few hours with and without the network being manually saved for connecting to. Definitely something odd going on here. Also tried connecting to other networks to see if maybe it'd do something, but that didn't make my home network show up either. I'm at a dead-end here, and I assume the lack of replies means nobody else has any other ideas either... lol.
the only thing i can tell you is ruu that sucker, usually when something goes haywire stock will fix it. hope you get it working, sounds like a major pain
edit: if your up to it, flash a stock rom from clockworkmod recovery and try it before going the ruu route, its worth a shot. i see you tried cyanogenmod, couldnt hurt to try a stock rom.
Thanks, I forgot about that. After so many Android phones, I start to forget which tricks fix which phones... lol. Currently I'm used to "Superwipe your phone if anything goes wrong". Unfortunately, I know of no such thing for the Hero.
But running an RUU is a great idea, and I should've thought of it. I'll be doing that out as soon as I get off work
Edit: Just installed an official RUU successfully, but... still can't find my wireless network. Seriously... I have no idea how that couldn't work. The router is fine, the phone is fine, and they've communicated with each other just fine for the last two years. Nothing has changed for this to happen. For as complete a wipe as installing an RUU does, this just doesn't make any sense.
Try changing your router to chanel 11. Then in your hero WiFi settings make sure its on 11 as well. See if that helps.

Have you checked the settings on your router? It may be that somehow your router blocks your Mac address or something like that.

Hi guys, I'm desparate right now and can't find a solution at all on the internet. It's been like this for 2-3 months and it's getting progressively worse.
I'm going to be real specific in the post.
My phone, when connected to wifi (Verizon fios) has issues using google related applications. When I try to search on google.com, it just sits on a blank screen with the loading bar 20% done, and then gives me a web page error, same for the youtube app, just keeps on loading and loading. I resolved my problems by google searching on my data, and using m.youtube.com rather than the app. Worked well for about 3 weeks, now when I'm connected to the wifi, NOTHING loads, not a single website, just sits there loading and never works. It's so fraustrating, I've reset the phone twice, cleared all kinds of cache within the phone, it's unrooted as well.
I'm so pissed right now, maybe it's an issue with my router/wifi, and not the phone itself. I have verizon fios, using a Actiontec MI424WR router (came with installation)
Says I'm connected to the wifi, excellent connection, getting over 60+ mbps YET IT WONT LOAD A ****ING GOOGLE PAGE OR LOAD A YOUTUBE VIDEO, LET ALONE THE APP ITSELF.
Please help, if you need more info please ask!
We need more info. Can you tell us what your software version number and Android version are!? Are you stock or rooted with a custom ROM!? Any Xposed modules). Please also be clear on what variant of the HTC One you have (Sprint or Verizon or att). If stock it sounds like you just need to do a factory reset.

Have you only tried the phone on your wifi, I would try on another network as a test before stressing out.

My phone works on the 4g data (verizon), my high school's wifi, and worked at a sears outlet store too.
I'm certain that my wifi/router are causing this issue but I have no idea why or how.

some of the early DE phone's were picky about router settings but that was a year ago. Does resetting your router (unplug it)
help at all? also you can go into the router settings in the band section and set it to 2.4ghz or 5ghz and turn of auto and see if that helps.
For many months now I have had an issue with the data speed or lack of on my phone, it is there but the only thing that really works are programs that do not have timeout settings setup it seems such as syncing etc.... but things like a web browser will simply not load a page nor can I use speedtest to test the speed as it cannot even locate a site to test with.
Let me step back a bit, I got a HTC One(M7) after having a htc one X and used the same sim card. I found out that I could get LTE data if I updated my sim card, so I did that and at the time I had about a 18mb connection speed and was quite happy. A few months later I started getting the symptoms I explained above and have not disappeared. I have called many times to the customer support and they would reset something on their end and it would work temporarily but would go back quickly and by work I mean I would get like 3mb down instead of like .1.
On my latest call, the rep said, it seems to be down to 2 things, your phone or sim card so they sent me a new sim card, it is now installed and well, the same thing is happening, yeah!
In the past I have tried a different rom to see if that was it and that did not seem to resolve it either.
I am currently running
Viper 7.0.2, everything stock
has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions on what to try? I am close to throwing the phone in the ocean
A couple of weird things to note that seems to point this to the phones problem is that some things work ok like pandora could stream, it may take a while to buffer up, but it plays and things like the facebook will load the text, most times it takes some considerable time to load images but it is still working for the most part. Google maps works just fine and is able to pinpoint my location and many other things but Web browsing on the other hand simply doesn't load pages.
So it weird how it is selective in what will work and what won't for example, the FB chat works in loading text, images are slow to load and searching for images is really hit or miss, mainly miss.
Anyways ideas out there, maybe clear cache of something or what?

APN settings are correct and I would think if my APN settings were not correct, nothing would work.
Basically my symptoms are that a lot of programs that require a good amount of data do not work, ie Pandora takes minutes to maybe load a song, sometimes it can't connect and moves to another song and that one works. Netflix definitely will not work, hulu etc.... these apps simple try forever to connect and never do.
I tested the standard browser, tried to load a page.... nothing, cleared cache and history and immediately tried again and boom the page came up. Within seconds it was back to not loading.
