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.
Hi all!
I've got two problems with my tab which frustrate me to no end at times.
1) sometimes the data connection disconnects, and is never able to connect back. I am still able to make calls, but just cannot surf the internet. I'll usually need to restart the tab a couple of times before it stabilizes. Note that the data disconnects in an area that has a good signal strength, so i kinda doubt its the network.
2) sometimes the tab just goes into a black screen and freezes. I'll need to press and hold the power button and the phone restarts after a few attempts.
I'm using the stock rom. Version 2.2, kernel is 2.6.32.9 and build is froyo.dvjj3.
Anybody have any idea why ther are these problems?
Thanks!
I would check the modem list and see if there is an updated modem that you can flash using heimdall You can find the list for your flavor of tab at this XDA link

You said you using the stock rom. Did you root your tab?
Since its stock rom, how about you check update it through kies.
If you got lucky, there is GB rom around the corner, but depend on your region as well.
Update it and maybe your problem will go away
If still not succed, try hard reset your tab. If the problem still occur, I personally think you had a hardware problem for sure.
No i didn't root the device. Kept it as it is from the box. Ok i'll try checking for any updates through kies. Will check for the modem filed too!
Thanks a lot for the help!
im having problems with my 3g on my phone its a samsung galaxy s 2 gt i9100 and version 2.3.3
it keeps turning on and of randomly for no reason some times it just goes of and other times it actually deactivates itself. ive removed juice defender which i thought was the cause but its still switching on and of randomly somtimes it will last for a hour or so other times it wil go on and of every 5 mins.
sometimes i can simply switch the data mode on and of and that works but most times i have to reboot the phone and everytime i reboot it the internet is back on.
what could be causing this its driving me made as i use my phone as a router most of the time. i know its not the network im on because it happens in every country i go to on a new sim.
is there a simple solution is it a android fault or samsung fault?
anyone have a solution to this as i really like my samsung phone but this problem is really annoying.

anybody else get this problem with a samsung or android phone ?
I don't own a 9100 but a 9001 (SGS Plus). The 2.3.3 firmware for my device gave me the exact same issue. I solved it by updating to 2.3.6. But you would need to ask someone who is more familiar with the S2 which ROM ist best as I don't know those.

thanks for the reply now how easy is it to update the phone it says there is no update avalibile when i try to check for updates.
How easy is it to do this rom thing and flashing id need a step by step guide id rather just be able to update it with the click of one button.
i assume you havn't rooted/flashed before? if not, either get into a decent wifi area and update your phone through the settings (that worked for my friends galaxy ace) or see if theres an update through samsungs own software "Kies"
personally i think the 3g issue seems to fall on samsungs side of things but i could be wrong,
no i havent rooted or flashed before. When i try to update in the phone info check for updates it says there is none im currently in the uae is the update done by the network or by samsung. Ive never used kies either. Ill have a look at it i thought kies was just another form of wifi.
Hi all,
Since about 1 year i'm a happy owner of the Galaxy Note. As the stock rom was quite crappy (eating battery like crazy) I decided to swap it with a CM10.0 flavor (Cookies & Cream).
Well, installing the ROM went fine and the phone worked great, except one thing.
Since the beginning that i'm using custom roms on this phone, i'm randomly having issues with the telephone or 3G signal. As I thought, maybe the ROM is full of bugs, I wiped the phone and installed the official CM10.0 ROM. Unfortunately that solved not my problem. Since a couple weeks ago i updated to CM10.1, and still having this issue.
However, some issues where solved since the last upgrade:
- First ROM (CM10 flavor, Cookies & Cream): randomly dropping the signal, and asking for a SIM pin. Sometimes even a restart was needed
- Second ROM (Official CM10): same as above, but less issues with the SIM, mostly signal related
- Third ROM (Official CM10.1: SIM issue gone, however the phone is sill loosing the data signal + sometimes even the telephone signal (restart needed).
When I loose my signal, something it's just the data connection (3G/H). The strange thing is that most of the time that this happens the data connection or telephone signal restores when I enable/open the screen by using the side/home button. Well, that's very strange as I have no power saving apps or something like that running.
But unfortunately this is not always the solutions. Usually 1x per 2 days I have to reboot the phone in order to bring the signal for telephone + data back alive.
SIM has already been replaced, with no luck. I did install this ROM on another phone (from a friend) as well - which had in the beginning the same issues, however things seems to be become stable (haven't heard him anymore)
I already tried different modems on my phone (XXLSA / XXLSX, currently using XXLSO), but none of them solved this loosing data/telephone signal.
It starts to drive me crazy, as I use this phone for my work too.... being unreachable is quite annoying
Anyone an idea what goes wrong here, or how I can find out why this phone is going nuts?
Nobody that could explain why my phone is having this behavior?

I have an issue where I lose mobile signal every few minutes. If I use Llama and check the "recent" tab I can see Cell: -1:-1:-1 every 10 mins or so and if I'm using the phone the signal will go to nothing, then within a few seconds go back up. Has anybody else seen this issue? I've done a factory reset and it didn't help. I'm waiting to hear back from Sony support, but they're been pretty useless for me in the past.
My signals dropsout all the Time

I encountered the same problem on my xperia l.
You could try taking the battery out the phone when it is switched on "hard reset" ,then take out the sim card and reboot, then switch off, put sim card back in and reboot, it may take a couple of minutes, it's worked for some, Me included
Another thing You could try is putting Your phone into GSM mode from settings but this means You need to keep changing modes when data roaming
New here?

Whilst we appreciate the sentiment please take a look at the forum your posting your advice in. The Xperia Z1 does not have a removable battery and the term 'switched on ''hard reset'' ' makes no sense unless you mean using the red button in place of a battery pull.
Not trying to be rude but its frustrating when your device drops signal and the best advice you get is regarding completely different hardware.
To Chrisduffer: Have you rooted your device/unlocked the bootloader or flashed another ROM? If so perhaps consider an alternative Kernel or a software update via the flashtool if its still using the stock kernel?
same problem. No root / no flash. Stock 4.3. Same issue even before update to 4.3.
Any idea what to do? My signal drops down every day like 5-6 times for about 20-30 seconds with no reason. I'm also not able to connect to 3G (at least phone is not showing 3g sign next to the signal strenght).
Hmm...this is interesting because actually I saw this up and down on mine too but I was able to call and receive calls anyway...so I newer bother if is an issue or not...but I losing the internet connection frequently so what's wrong?
Instresting...mine too...stock 4.2.2 rooted, Lb....but when my signal totally drops I am able to call or text!

Sounds almost like the modem driver is crashing and then restarting. Factory default is what I would try first, unless this is happening in places where you have weak signal or are in an enviroment which would cause weak signal (inside, thick walls, metal, etc.).

Hypothetically.
Had a few issues myself with the same stuff. Try another radio via flash tool. Just deselect everything else and just flash baseband, no wipe. Be careful when flashing stuff.

Yes, alternative radio driver should help, if it's not HW issue.
I will try to give the phone on a warranty check ... hopefully they will be able to tell me what's wrong ..
if not, I'll go your way = flashing different ROM with different radio.

thank you for the answer which rom could i install? now i have the rom for italy (IT) that i found here... but i had this problem also with the completely stock device so could it probably be an hardware issue?
You think you have signal issues?
Almost forgot, I had a phone come in once and it had the same issue, ended up only recognising the sim card every now and again, you could try another sim, or even send it back for repair which is what happened with the phone that was brought to me.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
so i'm going to send it to warranty, i hope it is an hardware problem otherwise i'll have to sell it, i can't stay witheout signal as soon as i hold it on my hand
losing data signal
I am having the same issue
Any idea?
Should return the phone?
I sent the phone to the warranty, I have also the results of the tests and they are all passed... So I really don't know how to do... If I find a nexus 5 i'll try to change this xperia for that, I can't stay whiteout signal when my old iPhone 4s receive it very well
