Mobile Internet Problem !! - HTC Incredible S

Hey guys...I got a problem with my mobile internet on my inc s...when I check the button for mobile internet...it dims and keeps saying: "Connecting..." but it never connects.
Note that it was working fine until yesterday...and the problem isn't from consumption.
I also tried flashing radios and even ROMs but didn't work...any ideas?

I've had that problem before when using the selection from the drop down menu it says connected but than the settings menu says its connecting and never does. It has to do with the way the drop down menu interacts with your settings. Try de selecting mobile under settings than kill the sense (rosie) process from app management under all apps, not the running processes. Reboot your phone and do that again and try to recconect.

Oh your the low signal guy... that might not work. Did you flash the radio? And are you fully wiping when flashing new roms?

Well yeah im pretty sure about wiping and very carefull in flashing..the roms are so smooth and everything is fine except this..i need expert solution...this is a serious problem :s

I had that problem too...
What I did was turn on the Airplane mode, turn into sleep mode for a minute, turn the airplane mode off. Then try turn on the mobile data.
This does not ALWAYS work but its worth a try

Yea.. having the same problem too... sometime require to restart the phone

I did so much things. The problem occurs when I flash sense 3.5 roms like affinity and rcmix3d...but i love those roms..how can i benefit from them

[Q] The wifi won't turn on

Hey,
I'm turning off the wifi when I'm in place without wifi to save battery and sometimes when I'm turning it back on it won't turn on even through the settings, and in the settings it says "Error". Sometimes it turns on after some tries, and sometimes the only way is to reboot the phone!
I'm using Srenedipity 6.2 and I used Serendipity 5.12 before so I don't know if it's problem in the rom or in the phone itself because I've never used the stock rom so I posted it here.
Thanks in advance, Elad.
There is another topic on this from today or yesterday. It is a known issue that I am pretty sure is caused across all roms.if you go under settings -> wifi you should vs able to turn it off and on there

[Q]Update to 2.3.4 offcial version - wifi, gps, signal problems

Hello everyone,
So i upgraded my O2X like a month ago... and since then i have had issues with it...
I've upgraded to 2.3.4 from LG official updates... and since my upgrade i've got some serious issue's with my phone..
1. Alot of times i can't send any messages, and i have to retry like 2-4 times before it's working...
2. people can't call me from time to time.... it just hang's up from the person trying to call me...
3. sometimes when talking to somebody, the sound get's all wierd like a scrathing sound with other mixed wierd other sounds... it goes like that for about 5-15 seconds.. Then it stops and and often then i can't her the other person anymore... but sometimes it also goes back to normal..
4. Signal is lost sometimes... the signal bar indicates that their's no phone service.... and then comes back after like 5-15 seconds...
5. wifi aint working anymore... can't use the internet..
6. today i needed to use the gps... but when it finally has found the route i need.. it aint "updating" where im driving..... so i have to close the gps, and then start it again so i can get a update of where the car is located.. its like a "still picture" if you get me...
Please note that i have NOT done any factory reset of the phone after 2.3.4 upgrade... as it cant be true that i need to do such thing everytime an update is launched from LG just to get the phone working....
i dont have anything else installed, like CM or even rooted or anything.. its all stock rom from LG...
Anyone has some ideas or clues of how i can fix these issues?
i have met all of these issues as well. i have to add another issue,"wifi turn off automatically".

Maybe a stupid comment of me , but have you already looked at the wifi-advanced settings? because there you can switch off the "wifi power saving or sleepmode".
You should also check all settings because everything is put back to factory settings..
same freaking issues
What a fail from LG. I bought this phone recently for my wife and I was accusing her being crazy!
I changed all the settigns in wifi for battery effeciency to keept it always on no matter what! wifi keeps disconnecting at times. Even during skype calls and needs to restart wifi(deactivate->activate).
Anyone having a solution for that issues? Otherwise a custom ROM is going to solve this? And if so please propose one for simple use.
It is so FAIL from LG releasing a ROM hat does not work as it should with default values. Android is for users also, not just geeks.

Have you done a 'factory reset' since you updated the device?
You shouldn't lose any stuff on the card, only the applications that were on the phone as such. (But better than sorry to make a backup just in case). Oh of course you will lose contacts unless they are synced with another source as well).
GPS> Make sure you leave the GPS turned on ALL the time. It won't use it unless it has too, and if you start the phone with gps turned off, it won't connect to gps properly. Wifi ? er.. perhaps you need to go into the wifi settings and have a fiddle around with the sleep mode? Or perhaps increase the screen timeout so it doesn't keep disconnecting the wifi so often?
Get a Samsung for sure!!

[Q] Wifi & Mobile Data Issue (ICS)

Ever since upgrading to ATT ICS, my WiFi and Mobile Data connections both are turned on during the night. During the day, I don't run either. When I am at home, I use WiFi and then turn WiFi off and plug in the charger before I sleep. When I wake up in the morning, WiFi and Mobile Data are turned ON. This happens constantly for me.
The second thing I tried was not putting the phone on the charger for the night. Come the next morning, WiFi is ON but Mobile Data remained off.
Something is triggering WiFi and Mobile Data to automatically turn on. I can't seem to find the setting that is allowing this to happen.
With GB, I never had this issue. If I recall correctly, GB had a setting for the sleep period of the phone. I don't remember much else of what was adjustable in that menu and I can't remember if I set anything in there for GB and data. I cannot find anything remotely like that in ICS. ICS is bloody annoying me right now with these quirks.
I wish I could downgrade back to GB right now so I don't have to deal with data turning on during the course of the night.......
If you want to go back to gb look under the development tab for return to GB from ics. It's down a ways. Not sure what to tell you about the other issues but to try and reflash ics.

Try Airplane Mode
Sounds like you have some app trying to make a connection to run an update. It's turning on WiFi and/or the Mobile Data connections. I'll check mine tonight to see what happens.
Try turning on the Airplane mode when you go to bed. Hold down the power button and select the Airplane Mode option. If that doesn't keep the radios off, something is really wrong.
I sometimes use the Airplane mode at night to conserve the battery, but since you're charging, that's not an issue.

I found the thread. Thanks. I just need to read about unlocking the bootloader now before proceeding. The only downside of downgrading is I will lose the ICS radio which is giving me such good signal strength. Before in my room at home, I would get 1 bar, now I get 2 or 3. LULz.

This happened since day 1 of upgrading to ICS. The only software that I installed were some games and utilities that I had on GB. I never had an issue with either data connection turning on.
I might try another flash of ICS but that would mean running it for a night without the downloaded software for a couple nights and then installing each one by one, night by night.
I can use airplane mode but not for long term. I need to be able to receive calls from work when issues arise during the 2nd and 3rd shifts.
This only happens at night. It never happens during the day which makes me believe something is happening during the phone sleep time. And there's no setting that I can find for the phone sleep time like GB. Grr.....
Why not just leave data on if u don't mind me asking. Can't be using that much data really

Yep I have the same issue.
I have observed the data icon appear on the stroke of midnight. It takes three attempts to keep it off till the next time I use it, or when the damn thing turns back on at 23:59:59.
Spoke to HTC support, they advised to return it to retailer for them to examine it....WTF...lol

We have two threads on this issue of WiFi and/or Data turning on at midnight. When I first found the missing voice dialer problem, I e-mailed HTC support. They responded to my e-mail and then a member of their escalation team called me. They recognize that this is an ICS upgrade issue. Of course, they don't know when it will be fixed.
If you have not already done so, log into HTC.com, go to Support and send an e-mail describing the problem. They need as much feedback as we can give them to get HTC and/or Google to fix these problems.
I am not surprised that the ICS upgrade broke some things, but the number of things surprises me.
Check your setting. Drop the drop bar and enable Wi-Fi connection then touch the bar next to the off-on switch. Touch the icon next to the home icon on the bottom of the phone and click on advanced. See the screen shots.

Too bad. I noticed mine came on the first night after I installed ICS. Took awhile to find the settings I posted. When I found the settings and clicked on the one in the picture I never noticed Wi-Fi come on on its own since.
So I finally got around to trying Airplane mode. WiFi still kicks on overnight while plugged in.
vivid x2 - I had that checked to "Never" and I still have WiFi and Mobile Data coming on at night.
brucegil & FPV-GT - I will submit a support email ticket. I'm surprised there aren't more of us on here that are having this issue.
syrkel - I don't want either WiFi or Mobile Data on. If I'm not using it, why have it activated? All I need during the night is 2G voice so I can respond to work issues that may arise.
Just throwing another thing to look into. Try to reset the data counter and check it every few hours to see what apps are using the wi-fi data? Some of the apps even allow you to access the app settings from there as well. Check some of the app permissions and try disabling a few apps at a time that allow changes to wi-fi settings.
what a coincidence. i was just jacking around on my phone in class and found the advanced wifi option and there is a setting to keep wifi on during sleep. it has three options: always, only when plugged in, and never. hope this helps
Try installing a juice defender. It turns off data when your screen is off automatically. Also, (maybe only in the paid versions) you can set a night schedule for it to disable connectivity for a set time automatically. I have mine disable all data connections and go to silent mode from 12:30 to 8:30.

I tested this last night. Before I went to bed, I turned off WiFi (Data remained on). On the WiFi advanced settings I had the Keep Wi-Fi on During Sleep setting to "Always," which is the opposite of what people here have mentioned. I plugged in the charger. However, I have my Vivid set to remain on while on the charger. So it technically never went to sleep. (Makes a nice night light.) At 2:30 a.m. when I woke up, the WiFi was not on.
Tonight I will keep the same settings, but I will not put it on the charger (I'm testing the 3400 mAh Mugen extended battery). I will see if the WiFi comes on during the night.

I wonder if this is part of Googles data collection. I have gone through 3 vivid phones in the last 2 weeks (long story). I have seen this problem happen with no apps other than what came with the phone. My wifes phone (another vivid) does the same thing. If the phone is turned off for the night, turning the phone back on has the same results (mobile data is on). This seems to be a random problem.
When you allow Google's locaton service part of the message says that you are allowing Google to collect data even when no apps are running.
Just a thought.
I've been trying to figure out what's causing it...see my last couple posts here.

[Mini 2 GT-S6500] Reboots caused by wifi

No-one appears to have had this issue on this phone yet, and not for this exact reason, which makes me think it's only a small error somewhere. (I hope)
Ever since I got it about a month ago, even before I rooted it or did anything to it, it would randomly reboot with no particular pattern. I've since discovered it's specifically caused by the wifi being left on, and the phone left locked for more than about 15 minutes, regardless of whether any apps are open at all. All in all it only happens when wifi is on, and it's not charging or being used. When being used it never happens, and when it's plugged into USB or the wall charger it never happens, and never when just network data is on, no wifi. And I can leave it with both wifi and data off and it will happily standby for it's whole battery life with no issues.
What is the wifi doing when I leave it locked? does anyone know specifically why it causes this?
Anyone? I use wifi way way more than my data, i want to be able to put it down for 10 minutes!

Try updating the firmware. This might help...
Sent via XDA Premium
There may be a corrupted apk somewhere that would be active only when Wi-Fi is on (note that there are some services that are still running in the background even if you think they are none , they are not that easy to find and will most likely restart if you kill them , but it's ok because they need to run) . Reflashing the stock firmware with Odin should do the trick.
Also I presume you haven't overclocked it . If you did , lower down the max frequency a little .
FInally , are there any heating issuses when this happens ?
i've had the same issue with the mini 1. it was gone after i have flashed the stock firmware on it.
my mini 2 has no reboot problems (yet).
Try setting wifi sleep policy to "never" of you have at option in settings>wifi>advanced.
Alternatively, it could be called keep wifi on during sleep, turn it to "always"

Data connectivity issues

Hello everyone.
I have unlocked D3 on stock .906 rom, rooted, and I am on gsm network. My previous phone (and first experience with android was an HTC desire). Like with the old one, also with d3, I really felt abandoned and forgotten from Motorola when they truncated the upgrade path to ICS . Well enough with old stuff, now the question. What I really liked of desire was the possibility to turn on/off data connectivity at will, no apn mods were required, just tap that widget from htc, and woila data connection is on or off, how many times you want, regardless of the time between each tap. With d3, at first there is no moto widget to perform this action, easy fix though. I am using widgetsoid to turn on/off data. My experience with this is as follows:
Data turn off is immediate (understandable) - correct behavior.
Data turn on behaves differently - if it tap the widget shortly after turning data off, then it'll work as it should - data comes back on. If some time has passed, data won't re-enable, and I need to enter in the *#*#info#*#* menu and then it'll start to try to reconnect, resulting in data on after a few moments.
I also use the battery and data manager and chose one of the three moto/vzw predefined settings and I noticed that, while data connection automatically goes off at 10pm, it will not automatically come up at 8am (as per settings predefined in the rule). So, I need to go into info menu, at which point it'll start to reconnect. Also, I need to mention that if I wake the phone say at 10:30pm generally it'll reconnect automatically, which is fine.
Also, I tried to make a screenshot using drocap2, because while not connected, in info menu it displays "disconnected at 12:59 am", which isn't the case at all because I turned off data maybe at 8pm or at some other time, but unfortunately it started to connect and the message is not there anymore.
Has anyone experienced such behavior in the past? Did you manage to fix it? If yes how?
Many thanks,

I would suggest using the Airplane mode. That should turn off all radio and when you turn it back in it restarts the radio or data
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA
Disable that battery mode thingy. Just use performance mode. It seems to be causing your problems.
@Jason Roach
Enabling/disabling airplane mode does not seem very practical.
@Mr.Obvious
I'll try the suggestion and post back.
Seriously though, why did Motorola not implement something resembling htc's data on/off widget?
Thanks to both of you

Hi there,
I tried your suggestion Mr. Obvious, but to have data back on i still need to go in info menu (wait there a couple of seconds).
Well, i guess there is no way to make it better using stock rom. Based on your experience, how are other roms in regard to this?
Thanks in advance
