Before i decided to flash a new rom i had been having issues with my phone getting, and staying connected. At first to just data connections, ie 3G. So i decided to try a cooked rom for the first time.
But since then i've had even more troubles getting my phone connected and keeping it connected. Ive been through Hyperdragon III Opal, Dutys latest rom, and now im on the latest AT&T rom, and still im having troubles. Ive hand entered in the Media net connection info so many times ive got it memorized, ive even tried cabs, turning proxy on or off, and just plaing letting it sit for a while. It seems as though every time i try something new it might for a second but next thing i know i lose connection and can't get it again without restarting my phone.
If it helps im currently using HardSPL 3.56, and my phone is running the AT&T ROM version 3.57.502.2 WWE and radio 1.65.21.18
This is a very urgent issue for me as in my job i use my phones internet almost daily.
Ok for a while there with the stock AT&T rom it was working just fine. I went to start adding in a few cabs and it was like my phone once again decided to hate me.
Im not trying shogunmarks DeathV4.1 and have NotATreoFans AT&T v3.2.5 Loaded downloading in case the other doesn't work. I don't even really care about having a really awesome cooked rom, working is about all i am after right now.
UPDATE: Tried both of those ROMs to no effect. ive now broke down and rolled back to the original ROM and SPL that came on my phone when i bought it from the store. I pray this at least gets it working long enough for the Touch Pro to come out and me to get enough money to buy one out of contract. Still if anyone has any ideas im all ears.
Ok i hate adding a new reply or bumping this but now things are getting desperate. I have been through checked and changed every setting, tried everything. now its not just data, the phone itself wont work as a phone. Calls wont go out or come in. If someone trys calling my phone it never goes through, it wont even go to voice mail. This makes no sense at all.
All that comes to mind at this point is a defective phone. If you bought the phone new, then it has a 1 year warranty on it, and AT&T will replace it for you. If it's been less than 30 days, then just box it up and go to an AT&T store for a full exchange.

Set the phone band to GSM manually and see if you can make phone calls. If that works then search for 3G problems. There are a lot of bad devices which suffer 3G not working.
Connection Settings
How did you set-up your data connection? Manually or automatic config?

Yea i downloaded BandSwitch last night on a hunch it was just 3G, and low and behold my phone works fine on EDGE. I can make calls, and get the data connection working.

I have tried doing it all by hand, cabs, and even the auto connection wizard. As i discovered last night it wasn't my settings but 3G just not working at all.
Thanks everyone
UPDATE: I called support after rolling my phone back to its original shipped ROM and SPL, and man did the guy at the call center almost crap when he heard how early of a ROM i was using. He said i have to install the newest update first then if its still borken (considering ive had the newest one on here before, i already know the answer to that) that they will send me a new one since im still in my warranty period Yea for customer support
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...

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
I regret that my first post here was asking for help rather than being a contribution but I'm stuck. I've been using my Hero since January, flashed a custom firmware day 2 (FreshROM) and it was fine back then, ever since though my connection, throughout the county, has been on a downhill slope...
Sprint customer service hasn't helped at all, got a single email reply and haven't been contacted since. I can't tell if it's an issue with Sprint or my phone though I'm starting to think it's the former, everyone I know with Sprint seems to be having problems lately...My particular problem is bad signal, I use to be pulling ~90dbm at all times, now I'm lucky to see a minimum of 98. Running speedtest (ookla) I can barely pull twice dialup speeds, though on occasion it runs ~120 kb/s (about normal out here, though pathetically below advertised speeds) and sometimes it just randomly drops into/sticks as 1x (even outside of the BestBuy I bought my phone from where I had full bars and definitely EvDo)
Currently running DarchDroid 2.7, PRL 60667 (I've tried all since 60663+), I don't know if it could be a PRI issue, I can't see PRI while using DarchDroid though I believe I'm running Flipz' custom PRI he put out after the leaked eris issues with 2.1 roms...
Suggestions? Further information I can provide?
Same problem here. Stuck in 1x, wireless also not connecting properly, voice signal minimal even sitting right next to my femtocell. Darch 2.7 only rom so far that keeps me on Sprint's network at all, others send me into roaming. I've tried Damagecontrol 2.0.9 (boot loops, kills SD), DamageR (roaming signal, frequent FC) Fresh 2.3.3 (roaming signal) and Aloysius 2.1.2 (roaming signal only)
Wireless not connecting with any of them. Any tips/fixes would be greatly appreciated

Forgot to mention, yes have also tried various basebands. Running the ancient stock seems to provide a minor boost.
I kept playing with this one, eventually broke the data connection altogether. Stuck in roaming unless using darchdroid. Took it to sprint store, they said once struck in roaming, no fix. They're replacing phone tomorrow

Thy the VZW PRL. It's here and in the EVO forum somewhere. I like it for my work and at the campground but here at home Im stuck with crappy signal because it wont work with the sprint airave. Im trying to talk my neighbor into buying a VZW one and putting it in my house. They don't have internet and use my WIFI so I think its a win win. For now I swap back to sprint on the weekends we are at home.
If you're using a custom rom, try rebooting into Recovery and wiping the Dalvik cache.
I had the same 'stuck in 1x' issue after trying to update my profile/PRL today, nothing I did seemed to make any difference, and when I did connect to EVDO my voice signal would drop out to, literally, 0.
Wiping the dalvik cache seems to have fixed it entirely - am now on the 60668 PRL (must've just come out today) and my signal is right where it should be, both EVDO and voice.

I've done entire wipes both factory resets as well as Davlik cache
I've tried both the verizon PRLs as well as the verizon baseband from flipz
I also managed to break my data connection at one point, eventually fixed it by driving out to where I had signal after doing the PRI reset thingy posted after the leaked Eris PRI issues. Tried the new *68 PRL as well when I finally had signal again, didn't seem to help at all, currently have no signal at my home at all anymore regardless of what I'm running, flashed back to an old FreshROM still on 1.5 so I can manually change PRLs, nothing seems to be working at all...
I'm likely to just run the new RUU to unroot and take the phone in demanding a fix, service seems to have just taken a hit out here period, weak connection at my gf's apartment, and she's now having issues even sending texts, seems like a network issue more than a phone issue at this point (she's using a Rumor Touch, not a Hero) also stuck on 1x (but amazingly not roaming) out here, but better than the no signal at my home :/
Help! I found this treadz by searching i bought the new iphone 4 and i have no signal when i hold the phonez.
I was hoping for a fix from apple and steve jobs said i was holding it wrong.
Thx any helpz would be awesomez
I had been fairly lucky with the 4G/3G switching issue with my bionic. It happened occasionally but wasn't a big deal.
Got the 902 update yesterday afternoon. Almost immediately I lost all data. Tried airplane mode, reboot, pull the battery, take the sim out, boot without sim. Sometimes one or the other of these would bring back 4 G briefly. Today I lost all data at home and did all those things plus a factory reset and still did not have data. (I live in an area that is definitely in 4G)
So I drove to the Verizon store and tech support did all the things I told them I had already done and then he discovered I had no 3G. He tried all sorts of things to get 3G to turn on but it would not. 4G would turn on when he switched from cdma only to cdma/lte. I know I used to have 3G because when I would drop 4G i would see 3G in the notifications. So I have a new bionic on the way.
Has anyone else lost 3G after the 902 update? Anyway to get it back without getting a new phone?
Just a thought, but it seems something went wrong with the radio flash. I'd try reinstalling the .902 update (download it on the web).
I noticed the radio issues as well. Apearently not all handsets are affected. Motorola received feed back on this and say their looking into this...
Thier is something wrong with the idle settings affecting 3g/4g after the update.
If your push notifications are on then you probably won't have this issue.
At least that's what I've seen.

Yeah this happened to me. I lost all data. I thought I fried my Sim but after 4 hours at Verizon store and 3 Sims obviously that was not it.
I ended up flashing 893 system image, rooted and flashed a 902 update. It's finally back.

Hello All,
Something changed in my phone and not really sure as to what has happened. All of a sudden my phone loses data connectivity and thinks that it is roaming. If I enable airplane mode and disable it, then the phone works for about 10-15 minutes and then loses connectivity again. Running the 12B baseband (been using it for months with no issue) and haven't changed the ROM in quite some time. This started happening on yesterday.
Any suggestions?
The 4G radio seems to have crapped out completely. Getting a replacement sent on tomorrow

Damnit. I am having the EXACT same problem, running CM11.
How did you come to that conclusion? I am thinking I'm going to have to restore to stock if I'm going to get Verizon to do anything about it.

I reverted all the way back to 11A stock unrooted. The phone was in 4G for about 5 minutes (if that) and then remained in 3G mode.

I'm at the same point. Going to do an Asurion claim since I didn't buy my phone from VZW (Swappa).
I had this problem before when I tried other roms like cm rom and omni rom. I tried to do *228 to fix problem, but made it made it worse. I restored it back to stock and took it to the Verizon store. They put a new sim card in it for free and it fixed the problem. Now i am running stock with simple kernel.
Same exact problem here. I was on the phone with Verizon last night. I was running cloudy pro 2 (all his roms for that matter as they are international roms) and kept getting the roaming issue you speak of...with 3g. I went back to 11A completely bone stock. Just like you mentioned, I get 4g but then after like 10 minutes I get 3g with roaming. Of course this is after I spent 30 minutes on the phone with tech support. They 'zapped' my sim card and it appeared to work but no dice. Now before doing all this I downloaded build prop editor and changed the ro.build.target_country to US versus COM as everyone suggested in all the forums, still no dice. I've tried the toggle airplane mode trick...works for like 5 minutes and back to 3g roaming. I think maybe a new sim card and avoid international roms...bummer because cloudys roms are blistering fast. Interesting thing though, I installed xdabebbs rom and malladus' rom, after already running cloudys roms, and get 3g but no roaming. I also verified that Verizon wasn't throttling me or something like that. One more thing I tried is reflashing the basebands and 24A modem, no dice. If there is a build prop fix or some other fix I'd love to hear it.
Edit: One think I'd like to mention. When I had an S4 I switched between stock roms and AOSP roms and the network settings were responsible for causing the roaming because the stock rom was an older build than the AOSP. So when I had roaming, I'd reflashed the AOSP rom, changed the settings then flash the stock rom. It worked great.
Edit#2: Ok making a little progress. Just did this:
Get a build.prop editor from the play store, and change ro.carrier to VZW and ro.build.target_operator to VZW and ro.build.target_country to US.
Initially it worked but when I make calls it gives me Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped and I cant make calls. I went into Settings, Apps, reset app preferences...that didn't fix it either.
4G/LTE is pretty solid now but again, I cant make calls.
Edit#3: Nevermind...roaming again.
Alright, I'd be lying if this makes any sense to me, but the issue appears to be related strictly to the SIM card.
I had them swap the SIM, it fixed the issue, then it came back. I'm on a new phone now, and it appears to be working. The old SIM did not work on either phone, but the new one does. What makes no sense is the old SIM would work fine in my Galaxy Nexus, but would not work in the G2. Now the new SIM is working perfectly in the new G2 (haven't tried the old one).
I'm baffled.
I've never seen anything make so little sense. The guy at the store told me I would need to replace the SIM again in a few days. Whatever, if it happens again, I'll do just that.
I did the same with my gs3. What ROM are you running?

The original phone was running CM 11 Nightlies.
I'm currently on stock - not sure if I'm going to stay with CM because the official thread indicates official development is DitW for the G2 .
That's actually strange... I'd expect roaming issues with an Intl ROM but not cm.
