This may be something that has already been addressed but ever since cm9 for my I717 note my T-Mobile 3G/4G has been intermittent.
To better explain. the data icon for 3G/4G keeps alternating back and forth and when it does it cuts my data connection then has to try and load again. Doesnt matter which radio i'm on and trust me i have tried every mobile modem including the stock UCLF6. Anybody got an answer?
Try the TMobile forum.....someone there may be able to help.

before I got my phone I read about all the 3G problems people were having.
when I first got my nexus, there were no issues at all. no dropped service or connection.
I'm in a 3G area (looked at tmobile coverage map) and I see no reason for this to be happening.
my phone will show that I have 3G connection (UMTS) but when trying to use anything that requires a connection, it fails.
on the other hand, HSDPA network works fine and so does EDGE.
I got my phone over a month ago and this hasn't started happening until recently.
I'm always on EDGE network now and if I'm not on EDGE, I have to be on HSDPA in order for me a to send messages or use data connection.
UMTS is broken and does not give connection. I want to call HTC and see if they can replace it but I don't think they'd do it.
anyone else have the 3G problem? I'm sure a lot do, but is it only with UMTS?
This is not the "3g issue" everyone talks about. This sounds like you are either having network issues in your area, or did you flash a new ROM to your phone recently?

I had been on a CM test build and hadn't flashed a rom in a long time.
network issues isn't the problem because my friends G1 yesterday had 3G and I had EDGE.
I don't think it's my SIM card either, not even two years old.
I'm tempted to call HTC because this happened out of nowhere after a good month of no problems.
99% of the time it's a carrier issue.
When the number of users on a carrier grows or jumps on the carrier, the tower signal shrinks it's radius. And if you're in two competing tower areas, then your signal might drop/fluctuate because the phone is swapping between them.
Nothing the phone can do about it. It's probably your carrier issue.
how can that be when my friends right next to me have full bars and 3G while I'm on edge?

Change your settings to WCDMA only then.
I've tried and all I get is no connection or occasionally hsdpa.

I have experienced something like this. I am unrooted and few weeks after having the phone I would see a 3g symbol but be unable to access any data. It has been very frustrating once but generally it kicks in again with a reboot.
A similar issue since installing froyo is that the stock browser wouldn't connect. Other browsers and applications could access data but the stock browser couldn't. It started again later but I now use xscope.
I love android but I hope that the continue to work on its stability because it could be improved

so is your 3G working now? I'm just going to call HTC and see what happens.
I've tried WCDMA only, flashing a radio, and anything I can find on the web but no luck.

Have you tried modifying your build.prop? If not, do a quick search and see if modifying it helps...

Is anyone else having any problems with their data connections on orange in the UK?
I've only just noticed that i have on data connection at all.
At first i thought it was because i set my wireless lan settings to a static ip. But changing it back does not bring my 3G back.
Then i remembered i upgraded from darkys rom 9.3 to 9.4 so thought maybe it was the modem included in the update. But i just changed the modem back to zpg and still no luck.
I have data turned on in the settings, But when i go to the about screen it says disconnected.
Im sure my settings are right, and i sent a picture message this afternoon which was delivered ok.
Im at a loss as what to try next?
Anyone else have any ideas.

Panic over. Data connection is back. Although only 2G, so it looks like orange are having problems again.

Yeah, been having the same issues too. I'm wondering if we're better turning off the data roaming I had enabled to allow me onto T-Mobile's network.
Orange and t-mobile dont share their 3G networks as of yet only the 2G.
Still having problems here.
But thankfully its the network and not my phone!

No orange 3G problems for me.

Hey guys,
My GNote is misbehaving since I bought it. The data connection drops randomly despite the device having strong signal. It would jump from H+ to H or 3G, sometimes drop to G. Whenever this happens, the connection dropx and I get disconnected from all services. The signal, however, remain strong (full bars). Wifi connection is stable and has no issues.
My previous device was a HTC Desire, and didn't have this problem. Logically, it means that the problem is with the Note. I assume that a possible fix is a radio update (current firmware version is LB1, GNote from Germany - I live in the UK, central London).
I couldn't find any information regarding radio (there was one thread that listed them all, but I don't want to root the phone and didn't know what version to choose). Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Ben
i always have the same issue but still no solution
No ideas, anyone?
none is helping us
Mine was doing the same thing so i went back to XXLA4 modem and that fixed it. Hope this helps!

When I was using the SGS2 most people had similar problem and samsung is aware of it, there was some technical explanation about it also in the SGS2 thread..temporary solution is to disable the hsdpa mode or something like that using the samung secret code..anyway I went back to xxla4 modem which does not have this problem.
Hope this help.

The other day I was getting H everywhere I went on Cyanogenmod 7.1 but suddenly I would barely get Edge, and as soon as I tried to use it, it died, no service. I tried flashing a few different radios with no success, even tried flashing Cyanogenmod 7.2 rc3 with no success... Is this the end of the line for my beloved n1 or is there any fixes anyone knows of.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Have you tried to check your APN settings? Did you have this problem before flashed a new ROM?
I did have problems before flashing, in fact I only flashed things to try to fix the signal issue. Data is enabled, international data is disabled, National data roaming is enabled, network preferences is GSM/WCDMA (WCDMA preferred), AP names is T-Mobile US epc.tmobile.com, use only 2g is disabled, network operators is select automatically
I didn't change any settings in here from before is stopped working, at least not that I'm aware of.
Current setup:
Baseband version = 32.41.00.32u_5.08.00.04
Mod version = CyanogenMod-7.2.0-RC3-passion
Is there somewhere else I should look?

Ohh well guess it's time to move on, I just purchased a galaxy nexus, guess this is just a wifi phone now... Although I would love to fix it for a backup if someone has any ideas.

I've had this issue for a few weeks now and I can't think of how it's started. Basically when my phone says it's connected to 3g, I receive no data. I have to switch my data on and off a few times until it connects to H+ to receive data. While on H+ it does one of two things stays connected and may swap back to 3g when nothing is transferring and pop back to H+ when data transfer is requested or pop back to 3g and i get no data again until I switch on and off a few times. As you can imagine this is extremely annoying and hard to maintain steady connection needed by certain apps and such.
I first thought it could be the doing of a certain tower but I have tested this on far off areas and I'm getting the same issue. As you can imagine, there are some areas with only 3g so there is times I can't get data at all. So here is my plea to the greater knowledge of the community: any have any idea why this is happening and/or how this can be remedied? It seems odd that my antenna/radio can only be faulty towards one frequency. Or is there something else at hand here? Thanks in advance.

3G is "normal" 3G,
HSPA is enhanced 3G or "3G.5" and
HSPA+ is even faster HSPA.
Both are UMTS 3G technologies. H+ simply means you are capable of getting faster speeds.
HSPA (3G/H): Theoretical limit of 14Mbps down, 5.76Mbps up
HSPA+ (3.5G/H+): Theoretical limit of 84Mbps down, 22Mbps up, but will support 168Mbps down.

I had the same problem with my previous service provider.
Wht ROM you r on?
Go to settings and then device options.
Check screenshot.
Change the settings to c if you get a solution.
Swyped From My Flavoured JellyCore.
What ROM are you using? if your on stock ICS, then perhaps you can try some options below.
1. See if you have WCDMA only is chosen, under Settings >More>Mobile Networks Settings
2. Try to check your modem firmware? LRK1, LB1 or etc.. you can download and flash another another modem.
3. I'm not sure if this app will work but you can give it a shot. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsInByb3Zpc2lvbi5uZXRzcGVlZC5vcHRpbWl6ZXIiXQ.. It has some tweaks on it.
and Lastly.. Do nothing.. Your carrier might just be experiencing some network outage this time only, and on their end and therefore it should not be treated as a problem on your phone itself. Don't fret. It'll soon be fix (by your carrier itself).
