So I have been having this issue for quite a few months, I don't remember exectly when it started but it has plagued me for a long time and I don't know the cause.
My issue is thus; I am always connected to a good data connection whether it be 4g or lte, that's not the issue. I can download, upload and such but my problem comes in the form of staying connected.
What I mean is not that lte or 4g goes away as it still says connected, it's just that it stops downloading. For example downloading N.O.V.A. 3 from the market is now impossible as it will download for roughly 1 min, maybe 1 1/2 minutes and then just stop downloading. Full bars, LTE signal good but it just won't download. I can no longer download large files as they start and then the connection just stops. Makes downloading new roms a chore and a headache.
If anyone has this problem or can shed some light it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Have you tried flashing a different radio? I'm using this one on my m7tmo http://d-h.st/Ekv
if all else fails i'd just backup, wipe everything, and do a fresh install of a new rom.

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.
My g1 have big problem, it loss signal all day, most the time. I tried turn on air plane mode and turn off, or retart the phone, wipe, up another rom, up newest radio version, use 2g network only. But it doesn't work.
It loss signal random, i can't control or do something to have signal again. even i change many other sim cards. but i discover one thing: seem this problem related air plane mode. because in some rom version, i turned off air plane mode but it didnt, even i restart my phone it still on. i must take out the battery for long time and put it again.
Some time it have signal again but it only for short time.
How can i fix this problem, please help me.
please someone can help me. my phone isn't a phone anymore
hhmmm...Try to upgrade to the latest radio for g1. If that doesn't help, maybe your rom has messed up apn settings or the service in your area dropped.

I can add few things to this since I experience loss of signal multiple times every day:
I have 2 G1s. On both of them it happens:
1. Using different ROMS (CM, Super-D, OpenEclair)
2. Using different recoveries (RA 1.5.2 and 1.6.2)
3. At different times of the day
4. Using different radios (older radio and the newest one, sorry I can never remember the numbers)
5. Across different states ( I took one of them thru 5 different states and it kept loosing signal)
What happens is that I start a program that requires data (twidroid, FB, Gmail, Market) and I see my connection get stuck on the uplink, go away completely and restart the radio. Another way it will do it, is that it will stay on blank screen (or downloading screen) and there will be no uplink or downlink shown)
Tried: wiping, re-flashing radio, re-flashing rom, getting rid of few apps.
Anyone with any insight on this? I can get a log next time this happens if anyone wants to take a look.
Thank!
i tried many diferent rom, radio, and recorvery too. but it still doesn't work?
Now i discover that any connect in my g1 seem doesn't work. wifi can search but when i connected it can't open any page even google. gps can receavie signal, bluetooth can turn on but no one can see me or i can' connect to my headset bluetooth.
May i think it is mainboard's problem? i opened my g1 and see anten signal very perfect, don't have any space or something like that.
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..
Hi, I have several problems with my galaxy note that I have not been able to fix, find anything about similar problems in the Note community and I have no clue on how to solve them.
1) 3g - No matter what ROM I am on, be it GB, ICS, JB TW/AOSP, then whenever there is a 3g icon in my status bar, my internet slows down to speeds you cannot use. I once managed to try the 3g on the speedtest.net app and I got I believe 0,02/0.01 Kbps download and as you know, that is unbearable. Does anyone have any suggestions for a fix? Perhaps flash a new Modem, a new ROM, try the stock GB that I got with my carrier from where I got the phone?
2) With the WiFi at my home: If I am "far" away from the router (the router is in one corner of the house, I am on the floor above at the other corner), then I sometimes get randomly disconnected and it says in the settings "Authentication Error". Again, all ROM's. I have a very strong signal in that corner (2 or 3 bars) but I will probably just get the answer that is expected - I am too far away from the router.
3) I currently have installed TW 4.1.2 GalaxtusMod v3 XXLT5 (latest) and I have the latest (1.3.7) c.o.h.'s HelloWorld kernel flashed to the device.
I cannot "uninstall" system apps using TB or other root uninstaller apps, however I can manually remove the apps using Solid Explorer. When I try to use TB (free) then after selecting about 30 apps in the batch mode to remove, then the phone would usually crash and reboot after about 10 uninstalled apps (these apps are basic things - maps, talk, youtube, widgets etc. no important system apps). I used to simply uninstall them 5 at a time and it worked, with my current combination though it doesn't report any error at the end but the apps are still installed. So if anyone else is having problems (I have problems on any configuration in batch uninstalling a lot of apps) removing in batch apps with titanium backup or has been lucky enough to find a solution then I would be grateful for a solution or just say if it happens to you too.
Also I always do a proper clean install, with stock firmware I use Odin on the PC and I always do wipes (caches, system, data, preload etc) before flashing anything.
*edit*
4) When I am charging the phone using the stock adapter but using a different cable (same length cable in good condition) then the phone is very laggy. The interface jumps and is jittery.
Luckily I have a brother who also has a Galaxy Note and he doesn't have neither problem 1 or 4 (don't know about 2,3)

I've often been in a corner upstair floor with weak wifi signal, only 1 bar, because router is downstair. Download/Upload's are very slower than when I'm near the router but I've never got the "Authentication error" problem.
Just a witness from my own situation of wifi signal weakness.

Thanks for that, I asked my brother the other day and he gets it but rarely... guess it is a problem with my router.
Has anyone else got some insight to the other problems?
Bump?
try different kernel/ modem combo. Most custom roms dont have modem, so if your with the same modem, that could be it. Try one for your region. see the modem thread in development section.
Now 3g,
- check your provider as well, ask them if they severed your connection. Some providers have been known to do that.
- check apn settings on phone if they are like provider
- check if your not roaming ( other network then provider)

Thanks for this, after I get back from Israel on 1st June then I will try downloading some modems to try out. If that doesn't work I guess I could ask my provider whether they have done anything. Thanks

HI

Good luck
Regards
try also different sim, to eliminate sim issues vs phone
Anyone have any ideas on this? I'm S-OFF and am all up to date (ran the latest RUU). (Was on stock ICS until a week or so ago, when I ran rumrunner).
On some roms, I have pretty severe data connection issues. For example, on ViperOne 3.5, 3g/4g drops out a ton, and is very unstable while tethering. I also notice issues when just using data on the phone, without tethering going. I can have full signal, then the data connection will just drop, and sometimes take several tries to reestablish. Sometimes I get a 'failed to establish wireless data connection' notification briefly until it reconnects. Sometimes it will randomly drop to 1X or the signal bars will flash to empty and back again before crapping out. It's very bizarre.
With the stock rom, I don't have it set up to tether, but I did stress test it a bit with Netflix and some data usage and didn't notice any issues. With CM11, I did tether for a while and it seemed rock solid as well. With the GE 4.4 rom, same issue with data dropping. I also did NOT notice this issue at all before unlocking/s-off.
It really seems to be a software issue, but I'm at a loss here. I really have been liking ViperOne aside from this issue, and would love advice on getting my data connection stable.
I have always had these issues too. Very annoying. I don't know if it was good before I s-offed and unlocked because that was the first thing I did when I got the phone. I cant get through a showtime or Netflix TV epside without it disconnecting at least 3 times during the 45 minute show. Matter of fact it even does it on WiFi. I don't tether so never noticed that situation. Every Rom I have used I had this problem. Just a little note I have not tried an ruu yet.

It's making me seriously consider grabbing a Nexus 5 or something (but then I'd miss the IR blaster, which comes in handy at bars, haha). But, I'm really thinking (at least for me) that it's some sort of software issue. Rage One and CM11 both seem rock solid, I flashed to both of those and streamed Netflix over the tether for a good 20+ minutes with no problem. Restore ViperOne and repeat the same thing, and connection drops several times within the first few minutes.
I've never gotten data to work for me consistently on cm10.1 or 10.2, haven't tried 11 yet.
I noticed this on the newest radio.. I switch back to the previous radio and my data drops (specifically while tethered) went down a lot.
