Got my droid 3 off ebay (yeah i know :/ lol). unlocked it no problems but for some reason i have the worst reception in the world (pretty much 0 bars, although the 3G indicator is on; all the signal indicators are blue)
by default, the phone goes into GSM/UMTS mode (and the indicators are blue)
but sometimes the signal drops so low that the phone asks me if i want to go into "global" mode (that's when i get 1 bar at most and it's white).
even when the indicator's rock bottom, i still have signal, the data connection doesn't seem to work, (that may be because i've been using it off of wifi this morning and i didn't notice IF it was using the data connection) and i can still make and receive calls (ditto for texts). This afternoon though, the signal's completely dropped off the earth and the wifi connection doesnt seem to be working anymore. It's a verizon droid unlocked, I'm using it on Telus right now.
here's the phone info from that code you put into the dialer
signal strength fluctuating between -97dBm and 109 dBm and 6-9 asu
running on the HSPA network
GPRS is connected
not roaming
the phone passes all ping test results
i'm not sure what other information you guys would want to see but lemme know and i'll throw it up here
thanks in advance
On a side note..I remember you could make sure it wouldn't ask to go global mode anymore.. but can't find it. Anyone know how?
Use the china telecom (XT883) ROM, way better for GSM users.

I'll get my droid 3 this week (i'm in europe). I will try to flash XT883 rom if I'm not satisfied with the default rom. Do you just install RSDlite and flash? It's that easy?
Does the file have the .890 updates? Can you re-root and debloat easy or do you need the OTA-rootkeeper or whatever it's called?
Thanks

There's a dedicated thread.
BTW you need just rsdlite and the fw file.
Is rootable.
There's an OTA update which isn't rootable, so you have to flash, root, install ota rootkeeper and backup the root, then install the ota update.
Most of the chinese bloatware is not installed in system so is uninstallable like any downloaded problem.
P.S. Going from Xt862 to Xt883 and viceversa will wipe the phone, so do a titanium backup if needed .
So the XT883 has an OTA update that isn't rootable, while the XT862s OTA update IS rootable?

Yes Exactly.
XT883 OTA can root,use ota rootkeeper

Root doesn't change any files related to network. What ROM are you using? How did you root?

I rooted the phone with [PATCHED]V20S_00 using Smartflash. When I turn data on there are no arrows on the top of the screen.

Is it just a display bug, or are you really unable to access mobile internet?
If your really unable to access it, where are you from? Maybe you need another baseband.

Flash the baseband (the small file you get from kdz extractor) should be around 8 MB, from your own unpacked files. Then you ll get the baseband of Canada's version. Check if it solves it Maybe pretty sure we got different basebands...

Ok I made a new Apn for Koodo and all is good now. Thanks men.
Just register your network if you did not that (settings>mobile networks>network operators>choose automatically)
My problem solved with this..:good:
don't you see that the problem has been solved by creating an apn?
why this useless post?
i don't understand how people can be that bored to post uselessly

Ya I don't get it bud. I did state all is good.
T-Mobile
Decrypted
Rooted
Latest boot loader and firmware
Latest TWRP
I cannot for the love of me acquire data even though status bar says T-Mobile after flashing any AOSP or stock based ROM. Tried with clean flash or dirty flash.
All apns are present and I properly select fast.t mobile. Phone shows as registered with network.
Data only works on Pure Shamu 3.5. After I nandroid back to Pure Shamu data activates right away.
Any ideas or has anyone seen this??

Nah I got rid of that. It looks like I'm gonna have to fastboot flash the factory image.
It just baffles me that my current ROM has no issues whatsoever and connects right away after a restore

SIM card pull doesn't work with or without reboot. I checked the APN s and they're fine. (There's 3 for T-Mobile + the one for metro PCs)

I did not, but a clean wipe does not touch the radio. The radio is there,; it's just not connecting to it ( I checked baseband)
OP, the same thing has happened to me (and I'm on Verizon). I'm on Euphoria and flashing any other ROM makes me lose data, same thing.

True a clean flash doesn't, but in some of the other ROM threads, some say that helped.

I went to sleep, lol.
Edit: Just tried flashing latest radio; no luck. I guess the next step is doing a full flash back to stock on the phone...bummer.
Annnnnddd flashing stock gets data on stock but not on the ROMs. Hm. It seems only stock based ROMs work
bump...anyone else experiencing this or know what's going on? I'm stuck on stock now.
I wonder if the latest TWRP has something to do with it, cause i had no issues until last week
Hi, recently got a Nexus 6 for myself. From the beginning, data didn't work on 5.1.1 although I was getting plenty of signal and calls/SMS's were all sent and received. Out of curiosity, I flashed M preview and then data worked fine but I was losing battery very, very fast so I flashed 5.1.1 back. Any ideas what might cause me not get data on 5.1.1?
If im not wrong.. Try to change the apn settings.

Could be APN settings or the M radio isn't playing nice with the Lollipop....
Definitely not the case with APN. Tried deleting all APN's and setting one up again, still no data on 5.1.1.

Deleting and restoring the APN is not the same as deleting/editing or manually entering the APN settings. What carrier are you on and what ROM if any?

Sorry, my brain is going a mile a minute... The stock build, you are downloading that file via the official factory image page? https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

Ye, I downloaded it from there. Anyways, thanks for your help but somehow, I've gotten data now. Removed all the APN entries I had, entered again manually and after 5-10 minutes it finally gave me data. .

I'm just happy it works! For all the fun of rooting and flashing, it can be so very frustrating when something dosn't work. :good::good::good:

Reboot your router. Bootloader should have no effect on WiFi.

As @Evolution_Tech told you, bootloader unlock has absolutely no effect on WiFi. Whatever you do to solve this problem, DO NOT RELOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER!
And the fact that your WiFi works on stock ROM, but not custom ROM, tells us something (I'm just not sure what).
Well, I'm not saying that the relocked cause the issue, I'm just saying what I have done before it started happening in fact just saw another thread that is having the same problem...last night I l rooted again the and again no WiFi, so I got back to stock and guess what no WiFi , so something is wrong
BTW my phone rebooted itself and now I have WiFi again...this is really weird
Out of interest, what do you mean by "no wifi"? That's not a helpful description of the problem.
ok WiFi option wont turn on, it hangs and never get activated
its a problem of error in files consisting in "persist" folder that are responsible for wifi
reflash stock rom

Well, your experiments point to the ROM. I'd suggest restore your backup of stock, get WiFi working again. Then try a different ROM.

If it works on stock, rooted... That's what you need to confirm.
Ensure you full wipe when flashing a custom rom. Try another rom and don't let google download or restore any setting during set up of the new rom.
