[Q] Internet Help - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My internet was working perfect on my phone and then all of a sudden it stopped working. I tried to take out the battery, sim card etc. and nothing worked so I eventually just Flashed a new rom and it got it working perfectly. The last couple days my internet was working and then later last night it just stopped working. Ive tried everything i can think of BUT flashing a new rom. Id like to not have to do that since i dont want to loose all my app data and have to go through the hassel of reloading everything.
Is there anything i can do to fix this?

Hardware Problem?

I have had my TYTN 2 since launch, It worked GREAT, everything was fine...until about 3 months ago. I am on the FIDO network in Canada, and (just like some other poeple) 3G stopped working when on 'AUTO" but GSM still works fine. Now I checked the thread about fixing this issue...so I used the search but they all have the problem where it didnt work in the first place...mine was working for a year and then just suddenly stopped.
I have switched to Garmin's 1.2 ROM and switched the Radio ROM, but still the same problem...is it Hardware? coz I would REALLY hate un-flashing everything that I have just done yesterday and after re-installing all my programs :S
bump, anyone?
Here is a suggestion that may help, well hopefully.
Have you installed advancedconfig? If not do so.
Once installed go to start>programs>advancedconfig>menu>comm manager settings>check 3g>click ok>done>soft reset.
After the reboot open your comm manager and and turn 3g on....
On mine 3G DID work originally, and when I searched about the problem I found many where the 3G stopped working after a few months too. All had to send it back for repair, so I tried a few different ROM/radios, as all was unsuccessful I also returned it. Now everything is fine... except they kept my precious for 2 months
Thanks, I'll first try RedBandana's fix, and hope taht it works. If not i'll have to send it in all the way from Canada

3G and GPRS stopped working!

Hey everyone,
for some reason my both my GPRS and 3G connections have stopped working since recently. I can't access the internet at all, not really sure about wi-fi connections, since I don't have on to try out. I'm not sure when it happened, I think somewhere saturday or sunday cause I've been flashing some different roms then. I'm now back on R2 Rhodium by uDK on which the internet worked perfectly before.
Any ideas?
Mines been going on and off randomly too, fixed by a softreset. Only thing is i haven't changed from the original ROM. Sorry i cant help but just sharing my exp.
Update to another firmware, or just wait for an update on your current update. Or try shuting down all running programs, and try to soft Reset. Cant help you past that. Good luck​

[Q] O2 - Mobile internet has stopped working! :(

Hi all,
I've had SGS for over 8 months now on O2 Contract, UK. Currently running on Darkys Rom. Everything was great until yesterday morning the mobile internet has suddenly stopped working!
I've tried everything; Re-setting the correct APN manually, Switch on/off, Taking battery out. Called O2 & and tried to reset with their assistant but none of it worked. The network seems to be up and running fine on their side.
The symtoms are; I do have the 3G icon on the bar (Displaying 'H'), since I usually get a good strong signal in my area. The problem is, when I start the browser, the google.co.uk webpage works ok-ish. But for any other sites, doesn't work. Can't access email or facebook or anyother internet related apps. All connections fail.
I have other O2-Simcard. And when I try to use internet on my SGS, the same problem occurs. (Websites load less than half and everything stops) The sim cards work fine in my other phone.
Could this be a hardware problem?
I didn't drop or anything, I've been taking a real good care
Somebody please, please help!, Please.
You say Google works therefore internet works .Errors are possibly elsewhere in settings .
Worth doing a factory reset after backing up data to see if that clears the problem .
As its yet another Darky rom problem i suggest asking Darky if above fails .
Hardware probably not blame the rom or settings first .
You will have to remove the rom if you need to make a warranty claim .

I agree with JJ, this sounds like a ROM/Settings problem. If you can get Google, then your hardware is fine. An Antenna failure is usually all or nothing.
Maybe check in Settings/Wireless and Network/Wireless Network Settings/Network Mode and make sure it is still in Auto mode, or switch to 3G only?
As a last resort, flash to a stock rom and see if the problem goes away.
Thanks, guys! JJEgan & rschenck.
Network mode has always been Auto mode & I tried all options but no luck..
The thing is, the 3g internet has always worked fine with Darky Rom. It's just that this happned all of sudden.
I guess I'll try factory reset first, if it doesn't work, I'll then flash to stock rom.. Glad to hear it probably won't be the antenna failure.
I'll keep posted after I try!
Hi guys, I'm still at work so haven't had a chance to do anything.
But magically! I've just put my other (PAYG) O2 simcard and the internet now works! However, still not as good as before. (Slightly laggy)
I was using Darkys 9.3 when the internet stopped working properly, so I upgraded to 9.5 hoping that it would fix the problem, but no help.
Since that it's working now. It seems internet connections is slower than when I had 9.3. Well, at least it works now. (Kind of)

[Q] Lost network connectivity after ARHD 2.1.2 installation

Hello to all.
A few weeks ago, I installed trinity custom ROM on my Incredible S.
I have S-OFF. I felt the ROM to be a bit slow and decided to install a new one.
Yesterday, I installed Android Revolution HD 2.1.2. Initially, the network connection was not at all there. So I installed recommended radio. And the network came back and everything was working fine.
Then, I tried to apply a mod for CRT animation. After that patch, I've lost my network again.
I tried to flash the device so many times that I forgot the count.
I tried 3 radios from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129014&highlight=radio and none works.
I installed a lot other ROMs and they all faced the same problem of network.
Currently, I tried ICS for INCS beta 1 and that too shows no network error.
The SIM is working fine another phone of mine.
I'm good at programming. So, can grasp technical details.
Please help.
Thank you.
OKAY.
I just realized that I was working with Back cover open. Upon closing the back cover, the problem got solved.
I spent a whole night of mine without sleeping to solve this and after 9-10 hours I came to know THIS. THIS? Sigh.
Lesson learned XD

Loosing randomly 3G or telephone signal

Hi all,
Since about 1 year i'm a happy owner of the Galaxy Note. As the stock rom was quite crappy (eating battery like crazy) I decided to swap it with a CM10.0 flavor (Cookies & Cream).
Well, installing the ROM went fine and the phone worked great, except one thing.
Since the beginning that i'm using custom roms on this phone, i'm randomly having issues with the telephone or 3G signal. As I thought, maybe the ROM is full of bugs, I wiped the phone and installed the official CM10.0 ROM. Unfortunately that solved not my problem. Since a couple weeks ago i updated to CM10.1, and still having this issue.
However, some issues where solved since the last upgrade:
- First ROM (CM10 flavor, Cookies & Cream): randomly dropping the signal, and asking for a SIM pin. Sometimes even a restart was needed
- Second ROM (Official CM10): same as above, but less issues with the SIM, mostly signal related
- Third ROM (Official CM10.1: SIM issue gone, however the phone is sill loosing the data signal + sometimes even the telephone signal (restart needed).
When I loose my signal, something it's just the data connection (3G/H). The strange thing is that most of the time that this happens the data connection or telephone signal restores when I enable/open the screen by using the side/home button. Well, that's very strange as I have no power saving apps or something like that running.
But unfortunately this is not always the solutions. Usually 1x per 2 days I have to reboot the phone in order to bring the signal for telephone + data back alive.
SIM has already been replaced, with no luck. I did install this ROM on another phone (from a friend) as well - which had in the beginning the same issues, however things seems to be become stable (haven't heard him anymore)
I already tried different modems on my phone (XXLSA / XXLSX, currently using XXLSO), but none of them solved this loosing data/telephone signal.
It starts to drive me crazy, as I use this phone for my work too.... being unreachable is quite annoying
Anyone an idea what goes wrong here, or how I can find out why this phone is going nuts?
Nobody that could explain why my phone is having this behavior?
