hi there
as i mentioned in the thread description, my data connection randomly gets stuck. what means that the "up"-arrow stays lightened, and i cant connect to the internet, no matter what im using (web browser, tapatalk,...).
this seems to be totaly random, since i can not reproduce it.
this always lasts like 2mins and its all fine again, after that.
as far as i can remember this only happens when using the FoyoMod (both 2.5.0 and 2.6.0) not on any cm-rom, well for as far as i can remember ...
using wifi its working without problems
and another question, but this is for sure depending on TheFroyoMod-rom: i cant download attached files with tapatalk.
my device:
[email protected] 2.6.0 (all standart: kernel, vsel, frequencies,...)
Baseband: 3GSMEPU91a_u_91.09.04I
thx in advance for replies

I used to have those problems as well. I've deduced that it might just be a dead spot. When I am at school in a certain classroom, I lose all connection and get the same symptoms that you're describing. It might be a dead spot, in which you can't really do much about that.
thanks for your reply.
but i mostly use my phone at work, and there i stay at the same spot for 8h, even if i dont move my phone it works again after a while. i still can do calls, what means i still have a signal???
there is something i found on the web, its called dns-fix which i tried to apply usind aor, but when i do so, it replies: already applied. so i guess its already integrated in cm7

I guess it all depends on your office building as well. A lot of cement and basements make the cell signals hard to pass through, so you might be stuck. Are you able to use wifi?
When you're somewhere else, say, at home, does your 3G work properly?
its at home as well. its no congret there just shacks, but even under free air with nothing around me it happens. and yes wifi works perfectly then, it testet it at home, and also calls are able.
and like i said above the outbound traffic arrow stays lightend, just as it is somehow stuck.
well gues i just have to live with it

hrmm I experience the same thing sometimes.
I don't think this is limited just to Milestone/Droid. I have friends with Defy and Xperia X10 and they also get drop outs.
I think it must depend partially on the software (I seem to get better 3G connection under Gingerbread). Also when I restart the phone/reinstall the OS my connection comes back.
Also it probably depends on location and the cell provider.
I guess 3G is not perfect to rely on yet. Hopefully in the next couple of years it will be as reliable as ADSL! But for browsing basic stuff it works fine.
I know that one of the tricks that I've found works SOMETIMES is to turn the wifi on, then turn it off again. It seems to "wake up" the 3G and sometimes gets it back to normal.
alright then thank you for the advises

didnt worked for me. but my speed is about what they posted without editing anything in the buil.prop.
but following a post by sileshn, i flashed the latest crono rom (1.2). since that i dont get more than 600kbps down, i already tried the tweak i n the build.prop. is this just regular in this rom?
i tested somewhere, i know from previous test what speed i can get. any clue about that?

i finally found its a provider problem. i talked to several people also using o2 germany, they are having the same problems too.

I hope that is enough info. A buddy flashed my captivate up to ICS but the mobile data didn't work, could not get an internet connection. Someone reccomended trying a different modem. I'm with Rogers in Ontario, but when I boot the phone is shows AT&T. What is the best modem and where do I get??
Thanks!
I've been using the JK4 modem ever since I flashed my first custom from and its never let me down! Although it all depends on your location I believe, try a few out!

Thanks, but any idea where to find it?
KG3 has also worked pretty good to me, a little searching will help you find the modems my friend. As for the internet etc not working, check your APN settings under 'mobile networks', again search is your friend.
kp1 is stellar for me...youll only get att if your in the gta area and have roaming turned on...sometimes it bounces to att towers.

OP, sorry to hear that... I have a Rogers i896 too, and I did a flash to ICS 4.0.3 today as well without having too much glitch <knock, knock>.
After flashing done, I went into the APNs setting and noticed that Chatr Internet was being selected and it was selected when I went into the APNs setting screen.
I then selected to Rogers one, and sooner after I tested the mobile data and confirmed phone was able to surf the web.
Hey I'm rogers in southern Ontario too and after switching to any ics rooms my signal went to crap! I tried a ton of different modems and in the end the UKG3 modem was the best by far and it appears that most Canadian users swear by it as well. I get great signal even in spots where I was poor before. Data is great. Speaker and sound is great so I use that and reflash it on any from upgrades or changes.
If u go to the captivate forum and android development and then to the stickies there...its one of the first pages that has a huge list. Can't miss it.

captivate development section sticky. also it would really help if you said WHICH ics you have. some of them are really buggy. that might explain your problem... they are all still in beta stage. also might want to check your APN settings. make sure they match these
Rogers APN settings

3G <-> H depends on the connectivity and signal strength in the area.

so if your in an area with strong H, is your H always in your status bar regardless of if your using data? because i am seeing different behaviour with different modems...

Not always H though. It switches to 3G whenever there is a need to. I also started experienced another problem (posted in ICSSGS Q&A thread, waiting for clarification and help).
When I am on wifi at home, after a period of idle, both wifi and phone signal bars greyed out. Yes, both greyed out. From what I've read on this forum, greyed out bars on wifi and phone signal doesn't mean you're disconnected. While both icons were greyed out, I tried the following:-
make phone call: passed
receive phone call: passed
surfing on the web: failed
attempt to send a Whatsapp mesg: failed
In this case, I would have to turn off then turn on its wifi to get connected again.
That's enough frustration tho :S :S :S

well.. you need to be on an i9000 based rom with i9000 modem to get H (hspa) speed...and signal strength, and depends if your phone is trying to do anything....

Fair enough... my phone (Rogers i896) has been flashed to ICSSGS 4.0.3 with KG3 modem. Does it mean it's on i9000 based rom with i9000 modem? Baseband version is I9000UGKG3.
Any comment would be helpful as I am still learning you all big bros.
yup all our ICS roms are based on an i9000 CM9 kernel, and usually packaged with an i9000 modem.
even dark night, which is ported from galaxy nexus runs on our phone with the i9000 CM9 kernels..
CM9 is ICS based cyanogenmod rom... thats a whole other discussion..
Little OT (excuse me) about modem... to get the best fit modem to your phone matching the area could improve data or voice or both capability?
each user swears by a different modem in different places around the world...
but see this page..
sticky top of dev section... lots of information, some is only opinion..

Yup... looked at the page of list of available modems and tried all possible ones for my area, and chose the best one I think it's the best after installed all 3 listed.
I think I have some good speed in the area where I am in now. However, the new modem DOES NOT help the wifi icon/data bars greyed out issue :/
Does anyone have ICS with Data working with Rogers Captivate
Hi,
I ported ICS (ROM WeUI) on my Captivate. Everything works great except that I can barely connect to Rogers Network in Toronto. No data, no calls, no mms.
Does anyone have a solution? I have tried most modems jk4, kc1, kp1, jl2, kg3.
If you have a good combination of ROM+kernel+modem please tell me.
I would hate going back to Android 2.3
Samsung Captivate. Rooted.
Kernel. Semaphore 3.0.8.
ROM. WeUI v0.9.8 by NightShack
Modem. I9088ZNKP1.
Hello & good morning everyone,
I have a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. WiFi, FIrst off I would like to say I love this lil guy! I am huge reader of e-comics etc... Everything has worked wonderful thus far. However, after this latest update that we recieved posts 4.0.4 I am having trouble keeping my wifi connection up. Now, to be more specific if I am using my tablet and have the wifi on I do not lose connection at all. Perfect, alas the problem begins when I put the tablet into stand by. Now, if it is in stand by for only a few minutes generally the wifi comes right back no trouble. However when I wake the tablet up after say 10 minutes or longer it WILL not connect back to the internet. Now, I have checked all of the obvious stuff i.e., I have a strong signal strenght etc... All of my other machines/devices have no problem connected. Oh, and this is a stock tablet I have not dabbled with a rom yet. Any insight into this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hello XDA,
So I've purchased my 1st quad-core phone Saturday. I'm extremely happy about the phone's cosmetics and performance. Of course, being the flash-aholic that I am, I decided to beef it up!! After finially getting an AOSP rom that I felt comfortable with, I flashed and everything was great.... Until I noticed that my data stopped working. The funny thing is if I turn on airplane mode, make a call, or restart the phone the data comes on for about 2 minutes and then turns back off. After messing around with settings and such, I restored my stock rom. On the stock rom data works like it should. So I decided to try 2 other roms. One being GE and the other AOSP. Both are doing the same thing with data connectivity.
Is this a known issue? Did I do something wrong? I looked through the Q&A's and I didn't find anything. Keep in mind that I am very experienced up to full development of rooting/flashing/customizing/etc
Thanks in Advanced!!!!!
Update: T-mobile is my service provider
*bump*
It's imperative that I find out if this is fixable or not as I will return the unit if it's not...
Apologies

Did you try updating the radio firmware to match the ROM that you were using? Did you try another Sense ROM to see if the issue wasn't an underlying setting from a GE or AOSP ROM? Did you flash a custom Kernel? Did you match the RILs? Lots of things that you could try to isolate the issue.

I use PA from the regular HTC One forum even though I'm on T-Mobile... It shouldn't matter, I still get the same speeds. Some different ROMs will use different names, like the aosp stuff uses 3g, H, H+ and LTE. In order to enable lte you have to go into the settings for mobile data, APN and then make sure it's the one that's like fast.tmo whatever. That's the LTE APN

what's the exact APN name that should be there? I was reading about it but no one said what T-mobile's APN should be. they just noted that it should be changed the correct carrier.

Hello everyone,
Yesterday noticed that my phone was showing an X on top of the service connection bars, moved to different places to see if it was a low signal issue but no change. I do get mobile data (3G/Edge) but no service. i have reboot it several times and re-flashed the ROM im currently using but no change. I have not dropped my phone (recently) or anything remotely similar. i wipes all when re flashed the ROM too. No idea what to do at this point.
Has anyone experienced something like this? any suggestions as to what can i attempt next?
thanks in advance for the help

maybe someone else handled your phone and dropped it ? sounds like a hardware problem for sure
