I have been using Joker Rom without fail until recently when suddenly upon installing GTA3 and checking email my phone just lost its 4g bar. The bars went from blue to white.
Reboots do nothing.
Stock rom is in the same mess.
Did you happen to disable wifi? I know it sounds stupid, but I had to get rid of Batakang because my mobile data would turn off every time I disabled wifi, and would only turn on when I re-enabled wifi..

Annoying problem that started yesterday: on cell signal the bars are white and I've got no data connection, but on WiFi the bars are green and I've got connection.
Originally, I was running CyanogenMod 7.1. I checked the data settings, I did a battery pull, I wiped the phone and reinstalled Cyanogen, and I wiped the phone and installed a rooted stock N1 ROM. I even grabbed a ROM from MoDaCo and updated the baseband to 5.12.00.08. Still no data on mobile.
No dice all around. Anyone know of anything else I can try? I really hope it isn't a hardware problem with the radio, because I'm out of my warranty.
Green means you are in connection with the Google server (so you can access market sync gmail etc) and white means you only have connection to the internet. This is a feature that was added in on gingerbread.
I turned on my phone this morning and tried to connect to YouTube but the connection to the server timed out. The same thing happened with all of my other apps that require a data connection except for Google+ and the browser (which will load the default Google home page and nothing else). I definitely have a data connection because there is a 3g icon in my status bar. I'm not sure if this will help. But the 3g and the signal icons are normally green but they are currently white, which has nothing to do with my location. I tried wiping the cache but it didn't work. Has anybody else experienced this problem? Thanks.
What's your phone set up (rom or any tweaks). Usually if your running a 2.3 rom the white means that your not connected through ur gmail or google talk i believe. Check your settings go to settings>account&sync> make sure background data is checked.

Can you make phone calls? If you try and call and get a message saying "error 16", you will need to call sprint and have them reset you to a tower. I've had to do this twice recently. Check to see if your PRL reverted to an older one. I tried to just do an update of the PRL, but that didn't work...had to call Sprint. You will need to be on a Sense Rom in order for the process to work. I use/d a NFX version.
If not, do the advice from above to make sure that your data is turned on and that things are syncing properly.
I can make phone calls and my PRL is 60665 but I have no idea whether or not that's outdated. I'm running Cyanogenmod 7.0.3, so if I need to call sprint I'll just flash the stock HTC Hero ROM and Sense UI that's on their website. Background data is checked but once I had the problem, I've turned off all data connections because they drain battery and they're useless to me at the moment.
Hi there everybody,
a few days ago my P970 started to go crazy a bit. It suddenly lost Wifi connection and won't reconnect. The Wifi symbol in the status bar looks like it is connecting, but nothing happens. Additionally, under the wifi settings, the on-off switch of the wifi is light grey (greyed out) and does not react anymore on my input.
As I could not find any further information on this topic, I decided to do a factory reset followed by a reflash of the V30B (Europe open; Android 4.0.4) and another factory reset as well as format of the SD-card. After that I did not encounter any problems until I finally wanted to customize my phone again with apps etc.
Last night again I lost the connection to Wifi and just decided to see what will happen. Until now (16 hours later) the Wifi icon is still kind of showing a connection attempt and is flashing non-stop and under settings the wifi-switch is still grey.
Anyone got an idea what could be wrong with my phone? Hardware or Software problem? If I leave Wifi switched off, there is no problem with the phone, but it sucks if one cannot use the wifi...

Well maybe think about, what MODs (like PimpMyROM) and apps you installed. Maybe one of them causes the strange behaviour... If you say it works, till you start to customize it, it probably is a problem with any customization...

Make sure something will trigger Wi-Fi AP. If yes, Wi-Fi will not turn on, and the button is greyed out.
Excuse my bad English.

i got the same problem..
can anyone help us...
Wifi Mac Address goes unavailable...
Plzzzzzzzz
For some reason, and I'm not sure when this started but I can no longer send or receive MMS messages when connected to my wifi. Right now I know this happens at home but haven't checked other wifis. I've been googling for answers but haven't found anything real to help remedy the situation. Has anyone else had this issue? if so, how to fix?
Thanks, in advance
MTA: I've noticed that connecting to wifi my mobile data is being disconnected/turned off. Don't remember setting this in anything but it's happening nonetheless. bothersome.
Mobile data is needed for MMS to come through. I used to use Tasker to disable mobile data when I was on wifi to save battery, but stopped doing it because it blocks MMS. I tried using Tasker to enable mobile data for 5 minutes upon receiving an MMS, but it was a little hit or miss.
If you are using a battery saver app, it could be turning your mobile network off to save battery for you, so check there first. I don't think there are any stock settings for it that would do that, but who knows.

I'm not using any battery saver/task killers/ yadda yadda.. I don't even know when it changed. It's completely doing it on it's own. As soon as i connect to a (W)LAN the 4G dims out and I lose mobile data.
I'm running rooted 4.4.2 and have never taken an OTA update. Nothing in xposed anywhere to change this either that I can figure. I'm completely stumped.
If the 4GLTE icon turns from a "bright" gray to a darker gray, this should be OK. If it disappears completely, that would be OFF or not connected at all. I have Verizon, and that's how mine acts. I have an Xposed module to use AOSP icons in the status bar, so mine just says "LTE" right "above" the Wifi icon instead of next to it, to take up less space.
I do have issues from time to time where MMS will just not download properly. Not sure what causes it, but it goes back to normal after a while.
Solved
Ok I've figured this out as I have finally been able to reproduce the problem.
I'm running privoxy on my home lan and if I set the proxy manually on the phone it will choke privoxy up, literally. I can sit here and watch the CPU usuage just climb on the router. If I disable the privoxy proxy on the phone the message goes right through.
Hi guys,
on my xt1068 (5.0.2 stock, no root, locked bootloader), 3g data always hangs when I'm travelling (e.g. Home -> Work). The only solution is to cycle the connection....
When I'm at home it works like a charm, even for an entire weekend
The mobile data icon remains "on", with full bars and H/3g symbol...but I cannot send or receive data.
Any ideas? As you understand this is really annoying. :silly:
Thanks.

I have the same problem but not all the time and I'm still on 4.4.4, I leave the house therefore disconnecting from WiFi sometimes 3G doesn't 'pickup' esp. if I turn off WiFi after it has moved out of range, like you it displays 3G or H but no data can be sent, the only way to fix it is rebooting the device.
Do you turn off WiFi manually after leaving the house? as mine only seems to do it if I do that.

Hmm, I always leave the WiFi on. I'm going back home atm and I just switched it off. Let's see if 3g stays active...(even if it would be the exact opposite behaviour than yours)
Thanks for the tip, I'll keep you posted.
