Hi,
I have CM9 nightly installed on my SGS and it works nicely but it drains battery and internet does not work.
It worked good about 3-4 weeks but suddenly the signal strength bar (or whatever it's called) went to grey (it's normally blue) and if i try to use something what uses internet, it doesn't load anything.
Do you have the latest CM9 version?
Grey signal means you have a weak signal or does not have signal at all. Can you still send and receive SMS?
Yes i can make calls and receive sms. Signal bar is almost full. It would be almost black if have no signal.
But now it's light grey.
Did you try testing it with other phone? Just to prove that it is not your network provider's problem.

Not unless things start to force close. If they do that then you need to factory reset.
Also check your efs folder. It is possible that the data there has been scrubbed. If that's the case Odin a stock firmware with wipe efs ticked.
After that you can return to CM9.

Hi guys,
I'm being annoyed by my SGS about his data connection. Hope someone could help me!
Few days ago I flashed MIUI Mintberry 2.1.20 and everything was working like a charm, but this morning data connection switch failed several times.
I've tried to wipe everything, re-flash Mintberry and even to flash JVU stock with Odin, but I still can't switch on my data connection.
I can't even see any icon on the status bar.
Any idea? Is my phone broken?

Hmm this is strange, so you turned data on but theres no symbol, right? Have you tried installing another kernel (maybe also applying the Kernel Cleaning Script)?
I' ve tried everything with Odin, and at the moment I have a beautiful black screen of death.
Odin cannot recognize my phone... I'm very frustrated
EDIT: Upgrading Kies'drivers, I managed to connect the phone with Odin again, so I've flashed the lastest official stock firmware to check my antennas. In the worst case, I'll be able to go to the shop for assistance without problems.
Have u tried typin ur apn maually?

Sounds like a settings issue. Never heard of anyone have this problem before - I've flashed every version of mintberry including betas.
I just had this issue
I just had this and figured out what is wrong, its a easy fix too! Just go to settings and wireless and change the access point for your mobile connection. I had 2 access points and just switched it to the other one and my data started working again!
Hope I could help
Hi guys! thank you for all these answers!
I've tried to set APN manually, to change custom ROM and custom kernels and coming back to stock too, but still no data connection icon (neither data connection itself).
At the moment, I'm on JVO, the latest official italian firmware, everything is fine but 3g data connection.
Other ideas? Shall i need of Samsung customer service (I hope no!)?
Solved...
MIUI default settings fault: SMS notification has ran out my money and my provider has blocked 3g connection.
My phone is safe!
Ladies and gents;
So i changed my rom a few days ago for the CM7.2 thanks to a guide on here, and it really impressed me in terms of performance and the whole package.
Problem is, i can't seem to connect to 3g, and cant seem to create any apn's either, device just doesnt do anything when i click on create new apn!
I have made sure that the baseband is on the right selection and so are my network settings...
I have a motorola milestone that used to be locked to TELUS and is now unlocked and using FIDO

Its possible that you might have just had a bad installation. Id recommend you backup your data and apps, go into recovery preform a factory reset, wipe all data and cache, and re-install the CM 7.2 ROM. I have had similar problems to what your having in the past when installing new versions of CM and most of the time re-installing the ROM did the trick.

i tried just doing a dalvik reset and all data+cache, it worked for the volume wake and the rest, but still no 3g connection
A simple battery pull may work.

I had the same problem with both 3G and 2G as well. I had to manually add APN in Settings>Wireless and Network>Mobile Network>Access point names
It works fine now, even when switching from 2G to 3G while connection is active. CM7 7.2.2
Hey all, I installed JB a few days a go (LQ4, rooted) and it has all worked just fine until now since I can't seem to download or send MMS messages. I've tried just about everything, including changing the auto-download, using WCDMA only and so on. The APN is correct.
The weird thing is that when i try to download a MMS the cell reception just completely dies sometimes and shows me that "not available"-sign before "rebooting" or whatever and giving me back the signal. This makes me think that this problem lies deeper than a few settings in the phone, but is there anything i can try before i restore it back to gingerbread?

No, worth trying? I figured since the LQ4, as far as I know is straight from samsung it should work fine as an update without a reset.. What will I lose from the reset?

You will lose apps installed, its data, your data (not from internal memory) like phonebook etc... But you can backup apps with Titanium Backup, and other stuff too.

Do a clean flash with flashtool, then install the rom again.

tried that on 4 roms...is my phone broken or something? Wi-fi works fine pre rom, but when installed it just wont do anything. at first I thought it was just the Honami engine brands but I just tried another off brand forgot the name...some modification for the generic Firmware with a few add-ons...and still the wi-fi won't work.
Is this a new issue? or has someone been through this? Clean flash didn't work.
makes me sad face cant findd the solution anywhere...my ocd wont let me keep the rom knowing that it wont work lol.
So... does wifi work with a stock rom, but not with a custom rom? or wifi doesn't work at all at this point?
Should pull a logcat and see what your errors are....
Well, I uninstalled the rom, and back to 10.3.1.E.0.191 Wi-Fi works perfectly. But when I install a rom, wifi wont even humor turning on, it just blinks four times then goes back to gray.
I don't know what logcat is, is there a tutorial somewhere for it?
So I ran LOGCAT after viewing a small tutorial.and when It gets to network controller it says
Networkcontroller( 2140) refreshviews: Data not connected!! set no data type icon / roaming
and I get that twice in a row. So do I need to install a file somewhere? is the installed rom just not wifi accessible? what?
yo,
i tried stock, cm and vanir rom but on all i lose my network connection after time and have to reboot before i get new data network login. Is there any fix or custom rom to solve it.
Currently use vanir 4.3 stable and iodak 8,5 but i keeps losing connection.

this sound like the start of the problem i have. it started with the signal dropping and a reboot fixed it. after a few days i lost all signal and iv never been able to get it back. iv tried changing baseband gone back to stock changed the RIL and nothing has worked. ive pretty much given up on finding a fix.
i am seeing this problem pop up more and more i really hope someone is able to find a fix.
similar problem here. it happens if I leave wifi area without switching wifi off. Effect: high battery drain, sporadically network "locks" and broken sync (reddish network symbol in quick settings). I'm on cm 11 actual nightly,. tried other roms without success.
Fiddling with some settings, but only way to get a temporary fix: reboot to recovery, wipe cache an dalvik, reboot. Afterwards got sync and network (symbol white).
We can only guess at what the issue is, without logs

No harm in searching the web and learning something new, right?
