Losing data connection on CM7

I have been keeping up with the updates hopeing each one will fix my problem but not yet. I don't see others with the issue.
I'm running the latest Test4(Test3) using Slayhers stock kernel. Everything works awesome except intermittently I lose connection whether I'm using Wifi or 3G(No 4G in my area). The only way I've found to get it back is reboot.
Is this a widespread issue or just me?

Same issue here. I live in 4G area. Intermintent Data Loss. If i switch to CDMA i get a 3G but CDMA/LTE i get nothing. I had data allday yesterday but none today.

I think the RIL is still being worked out. Bear in mind that this is a Pre Alpha Pre release. Also LTE is something completely new to the world of CM and to American cell phones. I've run CM on 3 different devices and I will tell you that by the time nightlies roll around, it will be near perfect. The CM team won't put their name behind something that is half working, half assed, etc. Be patient.

I had the same problem but now I have a small problem. I have a very fast wifi setup at home but it doesn't like to actually connect to it. Looks like 3G is riding shotgun for a while.

One thing I read about the WIFI is, try turning the WIFI on then reboot with the WIFI on to see if you then connect.

Yeah, I think we'll all be experiencing this until the crew addresses it in a future update. However, it is still a great start. Not a whole lot of major issues, no deal breakers. I'm still using it as my DD.

Definately!!! I love the cm7 build and I'm thankful for all the work. Just wasn't sure if there was an easy fix I had missed.
Thanks all!

I'm bringing this up because I am having 4G issues in my place. The data cuts in and out a lot, and sometimes hangs with the up arrow lit, forcing me to use 3G for the time being. I'm wondering if anyone else is having problems.
I am also thinking if VZ is throttling or not, but 17 days into my billing cycle so far, I have used only 2.5 gigs, hardly a reason to be considered excessive.

I doubt verizon is throttling. You are proly in a 4G fringe area. If you don't need 4G all the time, you should change the radio to CDMA auto. Your battery will quickly drain looking for 4G signal (or trying to hold on to a weak signal)

I posted a question like this on the q and a forum. Its not your phone. I am having problems with 4g in okc and im not the only one. People on rootzwiki are having the problem too in Texas. I believe its a verizon issue

I'm well inside the 4G area, and it worked well where I live until about a week ago, and its been flaky ever since.

what25,
You are not alone. Did you find a solution to the problem? If not, I hope you didn't do anything drastic.
I also have the problem (in Houston, on thunderbolt) and have found others on xda dev and rootzwiki that are having similar issues (also in Houston area). It's not just you. It also seems to be only thunderbolt users.
I'll post the links to others having the problem. Also, have you noticed it in general or has it only been with certain apps. For a while it was a problem with my 4g connecting. Now the 4g is connected but hardly loads. Plenty of apps seem fine, maybe slower. But it is mainly Google services that don't work. My Google voice doesn't work at all. I don't get notifications for new messages and the messages don't load in the main screen. Google plus doesn't load at all. Youtube is very slow, and the stock browser is also barely usable. I've had the problems for about the past 4 days (I think I really started noticing on Friday). These problems only occur on 4g by the way, not 3g.
Please respond if your situation sounds like it's the same problem.

I'm in houston having same problem as above..

Same problem here! Houston area

Same here (Webster). I started the thread at Rootzwiki, here are the details of my problem:
"I'm having the strangest problem, my browser is not cooperating with 4G. Especially with Google, the progress bar just sits there nearly indefinitely. It can load full sites, such as topgear.com, but it hangs at the end before the bar is full.
I can toggle down to 3G and it works fine. I'm currently running the OTA MR2 radio. This started, however, some time after I flash Chingy's latest leak. I've flash radios back and forth a couple of times, cleared cache and dalvik, clear Internet application data, I've even done a complete wipe (wiped everything twice) and re-flashed without restoring anything what so ever. Nothing works other than toggling down to 3G.
That being said, it's not a connection issue. I can tether and it runs great, speed tests ran from the phone have good results and most application that use data are fine. I'm baffled.
Any suggestion? Any one ran into something like this?
Thanks."

Yea I would describe the situation as very similar.
The browser would be very slow, or sometimes hang, when trying to load a webpage. When on 3G, everything works fine. My GMails have been getting delayed notifications on 4G as well. Havnt checked youtube, but I assume a similar situation would arise.

I switched back to mr1 radio and lte to no avail. What the hell, it's been 4 days. Has anyone contacted Verizon about this issue yet?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App

Apparently the issue has to do with the DNS settings. Not sure why Verizon changed their DNS on us. Here's a thread on rootzwiki that contains the solution to fixing.
rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?1763-Browser-not-liking-LTE&p=39618#post39618

i called and no one has reported it. i put in my report and after so, i decided hey i wanna try the nightly synergy. 7/25 on 2.75 radio, now everything works. but just to make sure i wiped and flashed cm7 and omgb back for a fresh start, 4g locked on but still had the same problems. im in the Houston area as well, i work downtown and live off 8 and the not so newly opened 90, i get great coverage never loose 4g.

Very odd. If it was due to a particular radio, it should have resolved when you flashed another. If the fix posted by strwberrybened does not work, grab SetDNS from the market & change to GoogleDNS or OpenDNS

Yes, no 4G in Deer Park at around 3:15 pm this afternoon. I was at my doctor's office and noticed that I only had 3G. I was unable to access the Internet via my T-Bolt and rebooted, it restored the Internet but not 4G. I am charging my phone now and will check again soon. I am using the leaked radio posted just a few days ago on the RootzWiki site.

I'm in Deer Park too, also 4g is back to normal. About time, just do a normal reboot and 4g should be back to normal. No more 4g lag!

ATTN: Simple Mobile Users "New Radio"

I wanted to post this thread do to huge hit I took in my data performance after switching over to the new radio recommended for the 2.3.4 ROMs that have been surfacing.
I was wondering if it was that I am using Simple Mobile as a provider even though they claim to be running on T-Mobiles network.
So If anyone on Simple Mobile that has/hasn't experienced data performance issues please post here your:
Current Radio:
RIL:
ROM:
Carrier:
Thanks for your help..
Not sure why but im getting horrible data speeds ever since flashing this radio a couple of days ago.. Ive been trying to figure out why, Ive even went back to prior ROM/radio configurations and now im stuck at the lame performance no matter what i do
Before flashing this "latest radio" I was flying smooth as far as data speeds..
I noticed an extreme difference immediately after boot-up from flashing this new radio..
And i cant seem to get it to go back..

Well that's crazy scary. I for one love Simple Mobile.s speeds and it's significantly better than T Mobile. I hope someone else has Simple Mobile like us and who's flashed their radio so we can confirm this. I hope you get your speeds back up mate.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

It can NEVER be better or ANY different than T-Mobile guys..its the same...you just pay your bill to someone else who buys minutes from T-Mobile stock...
Its all in your mind and scientifically and realistically impossible for you to have different speeds on Simple mobile than what we have on T-mobile. You are using the same "Control Switch", "Radius" and GSM/WCDMA towers and radios we use except yours is tracked through the up-start "Simple Mobile".
You have a bad radio and I would suggest you not even play with radio flashing. they are sometimes pointless and cause more headache as you can clearly see by your case. stick to what you know works.
Trust me..They don't claim to go through T-Mobile..They are T-mobile bro...Just sub-leasing minutes...I recently stopped working for T-Mobile and I know for sure.
Similar to how my original job, Helio was buying airtime from Sprint...We were a MVNO and not an actual service provider of sorts...Just a novelty company with our own hardware and no service so we rented it from them at wholesale prices cheaper than what they gave there own customers some times...Exact same service..Different billing and company.
I hope this clears up your misunderstanding.

I have no misunderstanding boss. Should have written a more clearer post up there explaining my view but it was just a post. Anyways I can swear up down left and right I receive better COVERAGE and SPEEDS than T Mobile any damn day of the week. I've switched over so many people who were on T Mobile to Simple and they will all tell me the same. My sister is currently on T Mobile and seriously thinking of switching over to Simple because her service has been berserk lately. And its not only her but friends I know as well are complaining the same thing. I know it seems crazy and I really have no clear explanation why, but its fact here, at least in Kansas City. And its not just the phone. I change phones like the weather so I've tried it on countless number of phones and it seems to have jumped up signal wise considerably. it honestly baffles me why more people don't switch over and save considerably on bogus taxes and other nonsense. I hope this thread doesn't become a flame war. I am just trying to help the guy up there and clear my position at the same time. Oh plus I've worked in countless cellular companies and even managed my own so I guess I have some knowledge to what I'm saying here. Thanks.

I've use Simple mobile for one year on several Android devices and performance is no different than T-mobile because its using the same infrastructure.
Regardless, I upgraded my radio and its working very well for me with the InsertCoin 2.1 firmware.

It's an illuuuuusionnnnn. LOL
But that's what it is. I put it out there for you. Wish you the best and hope you get your radio issue sorted out. Be blessed.

Lol probably is. I'll try again on different phones and see.

throttled?
text "info" to 848484 and check your data usage.
if your over 2gb you will, i repeat, WILL be throttled. I dont care what anyone else says, every month for the past 3-4 months ive watched my usage and right around the 2gb mark (give or take 100mb or 2) my DL speed drops from an average of 1.8-2.x mbps to .45-.67mbps.
This originally happened to me on my MyTouch 3g Slide,and i almost threw it against a wall lol. Then suddenly one day my data was back to normal. Then it again happened to me on my Vibrant, which was when i got curious. Originally thought it was the roms i was flashing, then noticed that it happened usually towards the end of my billing cycle. Now its happened yet AGAIN on my Sensation, billing cycle started on the 29th and i was throttled last week, 2,223.34mb (ive downloaded alot, 1st time on 4G )
So it may not be your radio, just your data usage.
P.S- Didnt mean to go on a shpeel <--spelling? lol

Tethering

Only posting this because I haven't seen it in the few posts up for our Skyrockets.
After rooting, I got android's built in wifi hotspot working by simply freezing the system app "TetheringManager" in Titanium Backup.
Hope it helps anyone having issues.

Is this any different than tethering from a custom ROM once the AT&T config is removed? I've been tethering on my Captivate for well over a year now and this seems to function identically.

Yea its the same, Devs usually take out the teathering manager on there roms

All you need is a Widget that turns on tethering...so you don't have to click so many buttons to turn it on!
I like the Hotspot Widget.

Using Alien #4 on Motorola Atrix, I would tether w/o plan maybe a couple times per month and no warning.
I tethered nearly everyday for a few weeks in October, only went 1GB over my 2GB plan, and got the emails and texts telling me to add tethering plan IF I wished to continue tethering. This coincided with my Skyrocket purchase -not suggesting a connection, but coincidence maybe, or not.
They'll catch on I suppose by one using large amounts of data w/o historical habits supporting your recent surge in any given time period, APN or software left on phone, or even the possibility of CarrierIQ (suggested in another thread about tethering)

Ok. A warning first is acceptable. I dont do it often, but for those rare occasions when I need something on my laptop instead of my phone, I can tether/mobile hot spot and be ok.

On the gf's Captivate, rooted and ROMd, she got a warning that they were going to automatically put her in a tethering plan, so I'm not sure how they knew. Does that have anything to do with Carrier IQ??

Do I have to root the phone to tether without the regular menu? I tried to do it and it tells me that I don't have a plan. I would like to know if there is a possibility to change the way to create a hot spot without have to use the regular menu and not to have to root the phone.

Not any way that I know of without root. You need root to use Titanium Backup. You need TiBu to freeze tethering manager. So without root I believe you're stuck.

Is there no ROM out there that provides free tethering for ATT? I was about to install the ICS 2.3.6 from rootzwiki, but will hold off if there is something with free tether and it doesnt...
If there isnt, what is the point of getting any ROM/feature for tethering when ATT offers it anyways, I thought the whole point was to get it for free... although I guess if ATT tracks everyone's data usage, it would be hard to mask that... but with these genius programmers, I would have thought anything was possible... would be nice to get a little 20mbps wi-fi no matter I go....

It's not CarrierIQ or solely data usage that tells AT&T if you've been tethering; it's the UserAgent on your laptop/desktop browser. That's how they can tell that their data is being used through a computer browser and not a mobile browser. So even with these custom ROMs providing "free tethering", AT&T can still figure it out and send you the warning email/text, as I did in fact receive (on my Captivate). So unless these newer ROMs have figured out a different method, I would assume the same logic still applies - correct?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App

This method worked for me (freezing tethering manager). But, then again, I rarely tether, and when I do, it's only for very short periods of time.

I've been tethering my skyrocket since I've rooted it and tethered my iPhone 4 before that. The worst thing that has happened so far is that i got a text message saying ive reached 5% of users Data. Nothing about tethering. I usually tether about 5 gigs a month.
Edit. I use tethering with the Alien rom.

So maybe it is by amount of MB's of transfer and not just software? I.e., if you dont use a lot, then you will get away with tethering... I wont use it often, probably like once a month when I am on the road and need my laptop and not at a wifi... then again with my crappy DSL I may be tempted to use it at home if it were invisible.

cm7 rom w/ odd roaming???

Hi,
I just flashed the stable build of CM7 to my inspire. Been very happy with it thus far. I came to work this morning (the coverage here is not as good as my home) and I get a notification that I left my home network and I am international data roaming and have no data. My workplace may not be on the beaten path, but is still in the US...lol. Is this a rom/settings issue or does this sound like a att network issue?
Cell reception at my work has been somewhat of an issue in the past, but just seems odd I'd get a message like that.
Thanks!

I had the very same issue. All I did, was redownload, and reflash. Make sure you do all your wipes, though. Sucky, but it worked for me. :/
