i flashed slimbean yesterday and love it. only problem is- the wifi only picks up networks where i flash the thing initially. i mean if i flash it at my house, reboot and activate, itll have wifi, but as soon as i leave- say to work or something, itll 'see' those networks while im in a completely different area and not pick up new ones. i wiped and reflashed and got the same resuld. i wiped and put eclipse back on and now its doing it too. is there something i can fix somewhere in a system file or something? i like wifi and miss it
OK just wiped cache/davlik and reset and it picked up networks like it should. Wtf is this???

Hi guys,
Since yesterday morning my phone has been on G (edge/gprs) only instead of 3G (hsdpa) like it was almost always before. I'm on voda uk with good 3g signals in London and phone is showing -51 to -65 dBm (22-31 asu) which i think is good.
Also my wifi that always worked is also not connecting anymore...what gives? Regarding wifi i mean it connects but home page doesn't load any more on constantly refreshing even once. It does on my laptop on same wifi signal.
I have just updated normal apps like handcent sms/linda manager etc. since yesterday and restarted phone many times and done nothing drastic...so why these data problems all of a sudden?? Thanks
Carrier: Vodafone UK
Country / Language: English (UK)
OS / Browser / build number (if applicable): update 1 - stock rom
Tried soft reset by pulling out battery...on restart phone showed 3g for a second before wifi kicked in...still no page load...after switching off wifi it again went to G only!! Damn I don't wanna have to lose and reinstall all data/apps!! This so irritating..I love this fone and this is how it treats me!
Lunacy!
Now the fone automatically goes to 3G UMTS/HSDPA (wifi off) but with atrocious signal strengths of 0 dBm or -111 dBm with 1 or no bars!!!
I always get awesome signals in my room arnd -55 to -69 dBm and all 4 bars so what the hell is going on!!
Is this vodafone's issues or my N1 is dying slowly!?
Back to G n no wifi use!
Any help anyone?? please!
Not sure how to help you, but I thought I'd mention this if it's at all related:
my phone has twice now shown that it's on Edge connection, but run at 3G speeds. Not sure what the bug is but I ran a speedtest and was able to stream Pandora and browse the web without any trouble.
thanks for that but i'd sure love to see some pro's to help me out!
sounds like a carrier issue... however if you are rooted, try reflashing your radio and see if that helps and you may want to try each radio out as well
wifi is working today with full signal but on mobila data it stays on G with full signal but 3G sometimes with 1 bar or no signal...wtf!

When was the last time everything worked correctly? What have you do with your phone since then (different rom, different radio flash, new mods that alter system files, etc)? Have you tried calling your carrier to see if they are having problems in your region?
Nandroid backup, factory restore, reflsh cyanogen, test. If it works again you've got some bad setting stored. I can't help you find that setting but at least you've narrowed it down.
If this is affecting your wifi, then it's not a carrier issue. It's something with your phone.

2 days ago all was well. I just updated linda manager/handcent sms and 1-2 apps from market. I'm on stock rom so no radio etc. for me and I don't mess with system files and keep my phone clean by clearing caches etc. Thanks anyway.

Do a factory reset or a full wipe through recovery. If that doesn't resolve the issue, then let us know.
OK I've been round wifi for awhile now so not sure when this started but I'm n a roaming/edge network and I don't get ne data connection anymore and have no idea why please anyone help?? Running cm 5.0.5.3 now came from baked goods 1.1

Thanks for the tip but tried it ten times didn't work for me. Tried full wipe and really flashing but still don't get it
Same issue here. I notice if I force it to Edge then Edge works, but no 3G after 5.0.5.3 and i flashed the EPE54B radio with the apps. I'm thinking it's the radio but i can't find the previous image to test it out...

I have the same issue after flash CM5.05.3 and radio EPE54B.
It can't use airplan mode to solve the problem, only reboot.
Does any sollution? Help !!
After trying a million things my sister tells me her mytocuh is having the same issue. I called T-Mobile and they don't know crap. It just now started working again for me almost a day later out of the blue.
Yea I still for nothing no edge or roams mg data just got calling network irk what it is so guess just deal with it. Closest city with 3g to me is 40mi lol
Sounds like a problems with T-Mobile and not the ROM. Make sure you have "Allot data connection while roaming" checked also or you'll never have data while roaming

yea bout the only reason left. yes i have allow data raoming on but get nothing. dont know if its radio kernel or cyan or what
Today was the first time I installed a mod onto my device. I updated the radio to TheOfficial_Nexus1_Radio_Update_4.04.00.03_2.zip and flashed CM5.0.6. Everything has been great, EXCEPT my device won't connect to 3G coverage. It clearly displays 3G, but no internet applications will load (ie browser, email, weather). When I force the device to use only 2G / Edge, then it works fine, but obviously speeds are SLOW. WiFi too works flawlessly. Any ideas? I tried going back to TheOfficial_Nexus1_Radio_Update_4.03.00.21_2.zip and this did NOT solve the problem.
Ideas please? My N1 has become a 2G device in a matter of hours, SUCKS!
I should add I'm on T-Mobile and prior to any modifications today I had excellent 3G coverage.
For testing purposes...have you tried to flash 5.0.3 and seeing if your phone still has 3G issues?
I will try this right now. I was told it doesn't matter if I flash the radio before or after install... true?
No difference with 5.0.3. When 3G is displayed no data will transfer. When H is displayed, then I get good data transfer. However, the H is only there maybe 1 time every 5 minutes or so.
Could be an issue with not having rooted the device properly? When I rooted I never got the SU notification like I have seen in some threads showing a picture where you have to click "allow" for the device to allow root. I do have the app superuser permission on the device, but it's empty when I open it.
Thx
Well you can always just go from scratch. Get into bootloader, flash all of the stock PASSIMG images and then start over...
-flash recovery
-go into recovery, perform the traditional wipes
-flash the rom of choice
-reboot and see what happens
Does this happen in all locations or just at home/work/etc?
i've only been working out of home today. tomorrow ill be a better test. i took suggestions from posts i placed in the official cm5.0.6 thread in the rom development forum... and i changed some information in the build.prop. i think it has actually helped my issue... will be reporting back if i'm wrong..
Ok, I just got my G1 and rooted it asap. It worked fine, 3G worked, and I flashed to DangerSPL, 2.22.23.02, Cyanogen 6. All was well. I then saw the thread for SuperFroyo, and was attracted to the idea of Cyanogen that was supposedly even more optimized. Don't really know what I was thinking, don't fix what ain't broke.
Anyway, I wiped and restored, then flashed SF. I soon found that I had no 3G, and the fact that half the text when flashing SF were in spanish scared me. So I decided to wipe+restore and flash CG6 back, and flashed google apps while I was at it. This brought me more trouble: 3g was still missing, I was getting MASSIVE fc's, and the home button didn't work. I decided to re-flash, and everything worked, but still no 3G. Just for kicks, I flashed to SF and back to CG6. No 3G.
Basically what I mean by "no 3G" is that it'll appear to function, but when accessing the internet I get sent to a page saying that i don't have it activated on my plan, even though i definitely do (just checked too). So what do I do?
Well my friend. Pick a rom first off and read the threads of that rom and you won't have spanish text. Second of all make sure you do a full wipe when flashing from cm6 to superfroyo. Third type *#*#4636#*#* in your phone dialer. select wdcma prefered. Then you should get your data connection back

Hi,
Got a really annoying issue with my Nexus One that has been happening since the Froyo days, when I leave home to go to work I turn the Wi-Fi off on my phone to save battery. Sometimes I use the widget sometimes I go through the settings.
The problem is that the 3G doesn't alway's kick in, the only way for me to get 3G working is to turn my phone off and on which always works.
Any suggestions on why this is happening and how to resolve them?
I am running Stock Ginger Bread on my Nexus One on the the Vodafone network in the UK.
Try checking your signal strength: *#*#4636#*#*
You can try to enable 3G only and see if you can keep a signal.
My signal is sometimes intermittent due to topography. Stupid flat Ohio. Haha

Thanks, it won't be that though because once I turn the phone off then back on it's there. Also once I turn W-Fi off and 3G doesn't kick in, then it won't do untill I restart. Also another reason why I know this isn't the case is because even when I do this at work 3G doesn't kick in and there is a Vodafone 3G mast on the roof
never seen this problem before, but it sounds like something that might have to be fixed by doing a full wipe and reflashing your ROM. i know its drastic, so maybe do a nand backup first. then flash and see if the problem remains. if its still there, than just go right back to your backup and no harm and nothing lost. worth a shot.

I'm on a stock Nexus One unrooted so I shouldn't have to Root to fix an Android problem. Never Rooted before but considering it.
I got the exact same problem with Froyo and Gingerbread ROMs, can't remember if I had that issue with MIUI ROMs, but definitely with CyanogenMod ROMs.
Instead of rebooting the phone I suggest switching flight mode on/off it's faster than a full reboot
Haven't found any real solution yet and always thought I'm teh only one with that problem as I couldn't find any other person with that issue. Right now I'm testing different Radio/ROM combination and if that doesn't work I'll need to check if any app is causing the problem.
Any chance you are using Tasker?

I used to use Tasker but uninstalled it when I thought that it was causing this, it wasn't. Thanks for the tip about airplane mode, worked a treat.
