Ok at random times, my phone will be showing full service...all 5 bars...or sometimes even just 3 bars....but showing it has service. Yet I have no internet and cant make phone calls or receive phone calls.
If I reboot the phone or turn airplane mode on and back off...everything will start working again....but this only last for a little while.....
I first noticed it after trying out LeedDroid, so I restored cleardroid and the problem was still there, I've since switched to the Ace Inspire rom by gtg....and tried using both the 26.06.06.30 radio and the 26.09.04.11 radio and there matching RIL. Same problem on both. When its working data speeds are great...best I've seen....but the problem is, its not always working.
EDIT: So I ended up formatting my SD card and starting all over with attn1's rooted stock rom, then flashed ClearDroids rom and so far so good, no problems.....my data speeds are back down to about 2.5, and I'm definitely missing the 4 to 5 I was seeing on some of the GB roms...
A little scared to flash anything else, so does anyone have any ideas on what might have happened, or had any experience with there phone not connecting even though it says there is service?
Any thoughts????
Did you do a full erase, wipe cache, dalvik prior to flashing the ROM?
My guess would be something to do w/ the latter radio flashing. I lost good data speeds due to radio flashing and had to rerun the hack kit on.the rom I was usin to get them back.
Try.flashing just.the rom you want without the ril and see what happens. If I flash the ril, it breaks GPS on mine.

Yeah I always do a full erase, cache and dalvik before all my roms, I dont have that much stuff on my phone in the first place, so I dont mind starting from scratch each time.

Thats good to know....maybe the RIL flashing is what did it...its just odd that when I restored my nandroid back up of ClearDroid...the problem was still there, even tried flashing the Radio 3 times in row.... one minute I would be getting 4mb down and 1.8 up....then 2 minutes later...no data, no phone calls...yet full 5 bars of service....then if I waited longer...it might start working again...and so on.

Similar issue here on a STOCK rom. Looking at H+ with 3 bars and while the phone app works, I have absolutely no internet access.

There us something going on with flashing some of the desire hd roms and then the inspire roms. I lost gps under leedroid and after restoring a backup some thing stayed and was still causing the issues, it continued after flashing numerous roms. I had to redo the hack kit and start from scratch to fix it. I bet that you are having something of that sort going on. I was scared to flash anything after I got it set up but now I stick to either aosp builds or roms by US devs and haven't had any issues. Also on a side note, I have heard some people saying that gps on the inspire only works with a clear view if the sky, and mine will lock inside to 10 m in under 15 seconds. I think you just need the right rom.

I just installed the latest Das Bamf 2.0 Beta 5 and my Thunderbolt is stuck on the dots screen (background only with notification bar on top, 0 signal bar, battery and wrong time). I cleared everything before I flashed to the rom but I am stuck. What did I do wrong? What can I do to fix this?
Boot into recovery and wipe then reflash the rom or a backup. Don't fret.

I guess that I have overlooked it, probably because I am worried as hell about screwing my phone.
Probably be a dumb question because I should have seen it but, How do I boot into recovery?
Edit: Found it. When I was looking for it earlier I didn't go far enough, needed to go one more page.
Well she lives again. I also tried to flash to 2.0 beta 5 and it did the same thing again. I am not sure what the problem is, but I guess I will just enjoy a rooted TB for a little while and then flash to a ginger rom of some sort.
Did you flash the radio for bamf that is posted in the first thread of bamf?
There is a special radio you need to flash to get gingerbread working.

Will this keep it from even loading the lockscreen?
If so do I flash it before or after the rom?
Edit: I just went to the 2.0 Beta 5 thread and looked, I do believe I flashed the correct radio. I will give it a try again in the morning, it is almost 1 here so I really need to get into the bed, gotta be up at 6 in the morning for work.
Happened to me too. I just reloaded the new GB radio and the flashed the 2.0 rom. All good after that.
Haha... Yeah lack of sleep doesn't help... Give it another shot after you've had a chance to get some rest.
Some people have had issues like yours. You could try re-flashing just the ROM. If all else fails just re-flash everything like eatrice313 did. You'll get it eventually.
If you flashed the radio in the bamf 2 thread then you did the right radio. You flashed it in hboot right? Should have been named P05IMG.zip If you did that then you did it right. Flash rom, then radio.
I used the non-adb method - flash rom, batt pull, then hold power and vol down to boot into hboot then flash the P05IMG file.

After some sleep I carefully downloaded the Alpha Gingerbread radio set and flashed it through hboot and then reflashed the Bamf 2 ROM and got the same result, broken on reboot.
Sorry man... not sure whats going on. Did you try rebooting to recovery and reflashing just the ROM after it boots up and is "broken"?
Somebody with more knowledge might be able to help out, I'm still fairly new to the android scene.

I did attempt that but it didn't work out for me.
The odd thing is that I tried to flash to Gingeritus and I kept getting force until the phone would just shut down. Could these two problems be be related?

I would try REdownloading the latest Bamf Beta 5 and putting it on your sd card...then factory reset everything and wipe cache and dalvik cache, and reflash Bamf. You may have gotten a bad download file.

lolzzz...yeah it happens, let us know and if anything I'll help you troubleshoot your problem.
I'm having the exact problem. Flashed the GB radio, had no service with the froyo rom, flashed BAMF GB Beta 5, boot animation plays and then phone freezes.
I just reflashed the radio and still nothing I'm about to reflash the ROM and see what happens
Did you wipe Data?
I wiped data and cahe and dalvik cache
How long did you let it sit before turning off/pulling battery/throwing at the wall? First boot can take upwards of 5 minutes.
Are you talking about the animation screen or the home screen after that? I let it set a few min at the home screen and nothing happened
Just my .02.... When I and most others made the switch from froyo to gingerbread, it wasn't an exaggeration when we say "wipe, wipe, and wipe again". I wiped everything 3 times... By that I mean factory reset 3 times, wipe dalvik 3, batt stats and all 3 times. Flashed Rom in recovery, batt pull before reboot, volume down + power to get to hboot, flash radio and reboot. I had zero reboots upon startup and haven't had a problem since. Well at least no problems that weren't directly caused by experimenting with some stuff. When the phone does boot the first time, just walk away from it and let it do its thing. The kernel needs to settle. Don't jump in and start trying to set it up too fast. Patience helps a lot in the beginning.
Hi there,
Since I bought GS+ few weeks ago with 2.3.3. (xx??? rom) in Latvia, I have tried several ROMs and always rooted after that from recovery mode by flashing Root.zip.
There was a problem with my def rom, about 80% of sms failed on first send, so i gave it a try for other roms.
Right now I am using rooted XXKP4 (2.3.4.) as I found it the most stable for me - no WiFi issues, but every 2nd sms still fails.
So far I tried asian SZKP6 (2.3.6), european XXKPJ (2.3.5.), XXKPG (2.3.5.), XXKPS (2.3.?). Always the same - they work fine, no sms problem on any of them above 2.3.5 (including), but always there are problems with WiFi - it drops signal and changes connection to 3G/2G. Sometimes it drops every 5-6 minutes, sometimes it drops once in a half hour.
I always wiped data before flashing and did factory reset after flashing with Odin, after that I always root it with mentioned method and restore all my apps/system data with Titanium Backup PRO.
Could you guys help me find out what is the problem?
I want to get fully working 2.3.5 or 2.3.6, without any issues, but right now I am stock with 2.3.4 because I prefer push resend my messages better than Skype video call dropouts because of auto changing internet connection type.
Thanks in advance.
the only thing i can say is had the same issues with wifi dropping and first sms of the day would faili tried all the roms including the one im using now and they all had the wifi faults UNTIL i did a full factory default and erased disk, now im using the XXKPS 2.3.6 and it works fine.
So make sure you do a fresh start after flashing your Rom.

Factory reset after flashing with this code: : *2767*3855#
Backup first your internal sdcard because the reset will erase it.
I'm also on 2.3.6 KPS and think I have no wifi drops.
And to think I mean, I have not noticed.

Just a question - if I backup my internal sdcard before flashing and full reset with code listed above in previous reply, can I restore (copy from PC) all my files after everything is done?
Sent from my GT-I9001 using XDA App
The same...
Tried two roms (2.3.6 and 2.3.5) which works fine for lot of people here in xda-devs.
Factory reset before, and another reset after flashing, but the same situation. Everything works fine except WiFi - when I open WiFi settings, it shows refresh (search) every 5 seconds and drops after some minutes.
I'm on KPS and havent noticed any wifi drop.
How often does it drop? Does the wifi icon disappear when it drops and reappears when it connects?
i must of just got lucky, all i did after flashing to XXKPS was a complete reboot to factory defaults from settings/privacy/factory data reset and wiped SDcard aswell when asked, i then installed all settings and apps from scratch i didnt use any previous backups.
like i said before i installed XXKPS and got wifi drop outs but this is the rom im using now and the wifi is fine now, the only thing i did diffrently was what i wrote above.

Jep, this is how it happens - WiFi icon disappears and if connection is active, it drops (interupts d/load, skypoe, etc)
BackDaws - i can notice it before rooting and restoring my apps/sets. Last time I tried xxkps, it dropped for first time before I managed to copy root files to my sdcard, so this is not about restoring.
then just keep flashing it until you get the wifi working, im scared to flash to anything else now as that wifi bug was getting on my nerves.
are you using a Belkin Router by anychance ? ive read that changing the DHCP lease to 2 days instead of forever resolves this problem.

I have recently had this problem start happening to my phone out of nowhere. I am with T-Mobile, have an HTC Sensation and am currently running Paranoid Android. When I realized I couldn't get data to come back on I tried to revert to a back up that worked perfectly. After restoring the backup the problem still persists. When I do a factory data reset and fresh ROM install the data works fine until I connect to Wi-Fi. When I turn Wi-Fi back off the little H above the cell signal bars will blink every 5 seconds but never fully establish a connection. This is happening no matter what settings and no matter what rom I run. I am completely stumped at this point. Can anyone please help me out? I would provide a log cat but not sure if its possible with a mac? Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide me with useful information.
Some more phone info:
Rooted via Revolutionary
3.33 universal firmware
Paranoid Android V16
Have you tried upgrading to version 17? I would make sure and do a full wipe then install version 17 and see if problem still persists. I'm also running paranoid Android and never had any problems except once when I flashed over an update without wiping, I was having data issues then. Once I did a full wipe my data restored perfectly. I'd give this a try and see how it goes. I know I have this same problem with cm roms but never with paranoid Android. Give it a try with FULL wipe and see if issue is gone. Best wishes

I tried Dragonkors full wipe script followed by flashing v17 this morning, and this same issue is still happening. This happens on my phone no matter what ROM I use, and after full wipe every time. Is there some settings stored on my sd card that I could try to reset to make the switching from Wi-Fi to high speed data network work again? I don't think this is a ROM problem since its happening on all ROM's. Its not how I'm flashing ROM's either as I have been doing so since the Sensation came out. I don't know what is left to troubleshoot this problem, and am kind of out of ideas. I hope a developer on here sees this post, and can make sense of the situation as I cannot.

I have completely formatted the sd card, re-downloaded V17, placed on blank sd card, formatted all partitions except sd card, installed V17.

I think the problem is narrowed down to faulty sim card, something on T-mobiles end, or a hardware problem??
Anyone got any other advice?

I was experiencing this issue on paranoid android also. My mobile data stopped working on v.16, I went back to v.15, then I flashed v.17 and it fixed.
Also, you can try it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34906909#post34906909
Or any other rom. Right now I'm using aokp by frankinstine as it gives me more battery.

The crappy thing is aokp by frankinstine is one of the roms I flashed hoping that this problem would not persist, but it did.
I did a factory data reset, installed the rom, connected to wi-fi, disconnected wi-fi= data dead.
The only way I have been able to make it come back on so far is to: go into settings >dev options>launch tools>connectivity
Inside connectivity settings, I hit Remove Default Route, then Stop HiPri, then Start HiPri in this order and it will make my data connection come to life.
I don't understand why the phone won't connect automatically anymore. This is a pain to have to do every time I leave wi-fi. If anyone understands why this might happen out of no where when no changes were made to a perfectly functioning ROM setup please feel free to chime in. Thanks.

UPDATE:
Getting an updated SIM card solved this problem. Not sure if mine was faulty or just out of date... it was the one that came with the phone when the Sensation came out. Also a guy at the T-mobile store told me they are adding several LTE towers in my area at the moment, so maybe this rendered my SIM card obsolete. Not sure exactly what was going on, but at least I finally found a solution. Thanks to those who posted to help me troubleshoot this strange problem.

The title pretty much sums it up. I can update CM to newer versions, but every time I flash a new ROM (or when I tried to go to CM 10.1) I ALWAYS lose data. I get thrown in roaming, or only 3g works. I have to ODIN back to root66, then start over from there. I've never had a problem losing my MEID or data coming from root66, but at least 90% (if not every time) I try another rom....boom, no data.
It's my daily phone, but I always tinker around with different roms because I get bored easily.
Any tips?

Oh, I have it down to a science now. I can be back up and running in less than 30 minutes. The problem is that I ALWAYS have to Oden back to rooted stock before I can install a new ROM, and it's getting annoying.
My first gs3 did this exactly. The refurbished one they sent doesnt do this at all. I honestly think theres a batch of defective gs3s out there.
