Well I just got my At&t Fuze like 3-4 days ago. For some reason it randomly loses connection to the network, so I can make call or use the internet. I'll have to go back to setting- communication to turn off my phone turn it back on then turn on the data connection. I'm really tiring of it happening over and over again. Does anyone else have this problem? And are there any ways to fix it? Thanks
No one has any idea??
Are you still running the stock ROM? If so, GET RID OF IT!!!!
In all seriousness: Have you installed any applications? Have you modified TouchFLO 3D? You can always try a hard reset and see if the problem persists.
It's possibly a problem with AT&T's network. I've noticed that my 3G speeds are incredibly slow lately and others on hofo have had this issue as well. I would advise you to wait it out.
forp me it says i get 3g,edge, or G and i will cant connect sometimes.
I also have this issue. Sometimes it happens after a soft reset or for no reason at all. It is easy to fix as i just turn data back on but I don't know why it is happening.
I actually tried a hard reset reset and it didn't work so then I brought it back to At&t and the guy there fixed it for me. He said it was because the data connection was off so then I thought maybe I accidentally turned it off, but the problem persist after.
Yes, I am still running under stock rom, I installed google map, beejive, and some other that I don't think will cause this problem. I am afraid to flash because I already have a lot of contact info set in and data and would have to re-do everything.
I was hoping maybe someone would have a solution for this. I don't think running on stock rom would cause this.....
Any help would be great. Thanks
I just flash it to NATF's rom and it's working really well right now. I hope the problem will not appear again. Again thanks for the rom NATF
I now get it often that there is a problem with the GPRS in your area. Also there are times that the phone is not even connected. It is getting to be a pain but will try calling AT&T and find out
Even after installing a new rom the problem still continue. I tried going into an At&t store and ask, but they have no clue. I don't have time to call 611 right now, but will update with what they say when I do. It starts to get really annoying....

It's probably a network issue.
Regarding flashing, I suggest you back up your contacts with outlook. Even if the problem has nothing to do with software, you're missing out quite a bit in terms of speed. Besides, you should back up your contacts regardless. Don't trust windows mobile too much
OK, sounds like I'm not the only one experiencing this problem. I think the only thing that's different for me is that when I lose the data connection, I also lose voice. The first time it happened, it said my SIM was unprovisioned. When I called customer service, they didn't know beyond checking for network outages in my area.
Fuze_tactic & Tribalmunky
I thing both of your problems -- intermittently dropping the data connection for Fuze_tactic, and intermittently dropping the voice and data connection for Tribalmunky -- could be caused by the Long Press End button setting. Go to Start/Settings/System/LongPressEndKey to see what I'm talking about. There is one setting for Airplane mode, which would kill voice and data, and another for killing just the data connection. Try changing the long end key press to Set Vibrate/Ringer and see if that cures your issue(s). If you are occasionally long pressing the end key, your should develop a problem with intermittently losing your ringer.

No, I've checked that. It happened once when it was just charging, no where near my hands or anything that could have pressed it. When it happens I can't make calls or reestablish data connections until I either go in the connections manager or soft reset.

Like tribalmunky said we were no where near the phone when it happens, but I follow your instruction and changed the long pressed key. I'll see if anything occurs. Thanks for the input tho.
Update:
I called At&t and from what tech support told is, their network is having problems, especially for users in Cali. They are in progress of fixing it, but no idea how long it is going to take. I guess the only thing we can do now is wait.

I've been having problems with this too (losing data and phone) and I'm in Seattle. Maybe if I call, AT&T will claim there are problems with the entire west coast.
I did the whole SPL and ROM flashing thing (ROMeOS) and the problem still persists. I chatted online with an AT&T guy and he said it was a known issue but no way to fix it yet.
If you're worried about your contacts, don't be. Use PPCPimBackup (I think I got it either here or at freewarepocketpc.net) and it can copy all of your contacts onto the storage card. It's free and I've used it prior to flashing a new ROM.
However, flashing ROMs do not work. The only fix is simply going to your communications settings, turning off Data, then turning it right back on. This will also be why some of your MMS pictures don't get sent out.
I still love this phone, just get annoyed with it at times. Even the available larger battery with cover only makes my phone last about two days opposed to one.

I am in NJ and have the same problem. It started about the time I loaded some screen lock software that requires a finger swipe to unlock the touch screen (navigation buttons always active) upon coming out of sleep mode. I just decided to live with it, I like the software. I merely click the data connection in settings, connections, data connection (it may indicate off or on, doesn't matter, it is actually off) and then click it on and everything works again. Mostly happens after charging overnight.
I have stock fuze and it keeps happening to me too. But whenever I reset my phone, I can connect to the internet. I don't think it's network related in my case. not sure though.
Hey everyone, first post here. Been a Droid Eris user with KaosFroyo/CM for a few months now, and everything has been awesome until a few days ago.
I lost all data connectivity.
2G, 3G, WiFi, same exact symptoms. Every app that uses data throws the error in its own specific manner, but always some variant of "No data connection" or "Network unavailable" or "Check your connection" etc. etc.
On the handshake level, everything seems normal. I can connect to WiFi networks and it does the usual "Obtaining IP Address..." --> "Connected." I get the WiFi logo in the notification bar. And I have the 3G logo unless I turn cell data off, and it's up/down arrows even flash a little right after I turn cell data on.
It broke almost a week ago, so you can be sure I've tried many WiFi networks and many cell towers and rebooted many times and taken the battery out... all the usual stuff. There is something seriously wrong. Help!
Thanks,
Mike
I'd try a master reset. If that doesn't change anything, call your service provider and see if the phone can be swapped for another under warranty. Did this with a Droid 1 a few months back with Verizon w/o any problems.
Good luck!
Edit: I just noticed you are running a mod on that phone. Have you run Fix Permissions? Sometimes that irons out bugs that appear. I'd get with the developers and see what they say. One thing you could try is to re-install that mod. Be sure to wipe all data when you do. It'll be like starting over; but, starting over with the mod installed.
Good luck!
Back up and wipe the phone and reinstall the rom
Master reset did the trick. Unfortunately I didn't have great backup tools, and I couldn't even install new ones due to lack of connectivity (and apk's not always available). Saved my sms history at least, by copying the database to sd and back, thanks to root.
Really appreciate the noob help culture. (must say, it's weird being one, as I'm generally proficient except that I joined the Android world by purchasing a pre-rooted/modded phone)
I have a Sprint Evo Shift running CM 7.1.0. Occasionally, the 3G data connection stops working. It hasn't happened yet while I'm using it, but sometimes after I turn the screen on, I get no data. Calling still works, but no internet. When this happens, sometimes I can turn on WIMAX and get a connection and sometimes even that won't turn on. The only way to fix this is to reboot the phone, which is quite annoying, especially when I want to look something up quickly. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
-Vinay
Do a Nand backup and then Flash a Sense Rom. After you Flash the Sense Rom, update PRL / Profile. Then Nand back.
Thanks! I'll try that, see how it goes. I was hoping to not have to backup/flash/restore, but I'll give it a try.
So, everything works great, except when I activate airplane mode via settings or notification menu, a problem occurs AFTER airplane mode is de-activated. Only the cell network is active, neither edge nor 4g connection is available UNTIL after a reboot. WiFi CAN activate but no cell network DATA available.
I attempted to:
1. search forums and google (similar issues noticed, no solution available)
2. flash stock Rogers radio then re flash CM7, didn't solve
3. Redo APN seetings with different inputs, didn't solve
4. shutdown remove sim, startup no sim, shutdown reinsert sim, startup, didn't solve
5. now on stable (seemingly faster) UCLA3 modem didn't solve
wipe emmc etc., flash SkyIceCream ROM, and then the problem solved!, wipe to factory and wipe cache, flash back to CM7, and the problem returns!
So I'm thinking it's the kernel and/or ROM. My device doesn't FC or SOD atm it seems very stable.
I use airplane mode a lot since I do travel on airplanes quite a bit. I can reboot after airplane mode every time but it's a pain plus sometimes I don't have the time to wait for a reboot literally. Please help, I love the ROM.
Hey brotha - I had a similar problem with mine. When we went on a trip to Phoenix, it took a good 10 minutes or so for the bloody network to come up. I had a bunch of data charges too when it did finally come up... but no description except medianet data charges (sent data not received). My wife's iphone also had some large charged data for sent. I don't know what it was, but the Phoenix market has LTE (obviously nothing to do with the iPhone) - but I figured that because our home network was not the same (4g here) that was a lot of ATT internal configuration fighting going on and it took a while for their systems to parse it out. All speculation and what not, but reboots on my phone wouldn't help until if finally popped open, but I'm betting it's not a device problem, it was a network issue (based on the 60ish meg upload charges we both had our our different phones... and no, we weren't posting airplane bathroom porn to youtube...
I couldn't take it anymore so i flashed nexusmod4 and now i don't have airplane mode problems anymore. So for anyone having this problem on CM7 don't worry you can fix it by flashing another ROM.
This is what I told support, but they wouldn't help me:
I have the GSM and 3G frequencies, but still it disconnects for a 15 seconds to 3 minutes a few times a day.. It disconnects from all phone services, even though I have great reception/signal. Why? How can I fix it? I saw this 'preffered type' of network or something in these advanced testing settings where you could change between alot of different network types like WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, LTE and so on, is there something I have to change there? If it helps I live in Norway.
""
So this has been going on for a long time, now I got a suggestion that it might help to flash new radio software (.zip?). I know about adb, fastboot and flashing using recovery, but I don't know what radio to flash, if tharæt's the problem. The phone can also use 15-30seconds to turn on WiFi, from what I know this might also be related to the radio software.
If you want pictures or more details, just ask
Thanks in advance!
Hello
Whitch software?
Just for test: switch off the wifi and test that your problem goes away or still present.

It happens several times a day, with or without a connection to WiFi (but I don't know when it will happen, so WiFi isn't off normally).
If possible try to switch off the wifi and test it.
