[Q] Mobile Network Drops - HTC Sensation

Does anyone else get mobile network drops where you have to disable and re-enable "mobile network" to get a connection back?
One way I have found to reproduce this is to go to a web browser (I use Dolphin), then go back to the desktop to start the camera. Then hold the home key (to bring up the last programs) and go back to the browser and you will find that if you click on any links you won't get anywhere. I have also found that doing a search in Google maps usually doesn't work as the data connection isn't there. Again, turning off and on the "mobile network" and then restarting maps will get it working.
Apart from this the phone seems to mostly work fine.
Anyone experience this? I'm hoping it is software and not hardware.

Baseband version: 10.42.9007.00U_10.11.9007.15_M
Build number: 1.27.161.1 CL66333 release-keys

There are quite a few people experiencing this. There are a few threads dedicated to it already, both here and in T-Mobile and HTC's forums.
Some have been told it's a software issue, some have been told it's in T-Mobile's network. So far there doesn't seem to be a fix.

Toggling cyphering isn't going to fix anything for most people. It definitely didn't help me. The other two items could be applicable if the scenario is right, but I'm afraid the root issue is much bigger.

The problem I was experiencing wasn't the one mentioned in those threads. My phone is a UK model and those threads seem to be based on US phones and carriers.
I eventually factory reset the phone and wiped the sim card contacts for good measure and the problem has gone away. Hope this info helps someone else.

[Q] Network Dropping

I just want to check in and see if any other Inspire owners are having this issue:
I have noticed that my phone occasionally drops the network connection and doesn't get it back right away. There are two different flavors of this issue that I have experienced:
1) I was walking my dogs today and the phone suddenly dropped it's connection to AT&T completely. After a few seconds, it reconnected and everything was fine. I was in an area with good coverage and the status bar showed no connection at all.
2) When home, I leave the Wifi on. Earlier today, when I tried to make a call, it simply wouldn't dial out. Then I tried to open a web page and nothing (after turning wifi off). I had to switch airplane mode on and back off to reset the connection. I also received several text messages at once, all of which had been sent hours before (as indicated by the time stamp on the message). It's almost like the phone has an issue swapping back and forth between the carrier connection and the wifi.
Is anyone else experiencing anything like this?
As an update, I noticed that when the wifi is on, there's a check mark under the H+ symbol (rather than the up/down arrows) and when I switch off Wifi, it doesn't go away. During this time, I have no cellular data. Switching airplane mode off and on doesn't seem to work. Sometimes it recovers on its own. Other times, I have to turn the wifi off and on several times.
This is annoying. It seems to be having issues doing the hand-off between Wifi and cellular data. This is really the only issue I have with the phone. Hope they roll out a fix soon.
I had the same problem. I thought it was because I had to add my own APN. (I could not switch my plan around because it was a work SIM). This caused SMS messages to not go out and an overall bad network experience on the phone. I have since returned the phone because I need a reliable network connection and the ability to send/receive SMS messages at all times. Once a fix is found I will be back. I liked the phone alot otherwise.
Are you by any chance using the SIM from another phone? I had the exact same issue yesterday and data did not work for me until I called AT&T and had them update IMEI number from Captivate to Inspire. Hope that helps.

Nope. I made it a point to have them activate it in the AT&T store with a new sim because I had read about people having issues when they transfer their SIM. I also had and iPhone 4 previously, so transferring wasn't really an option. I'm definitely on the right data plan, too.
I left the wifi off all night and it did it to me again today. The check mark shows up under the H and it loses all data connectivity. I'm not sure what is causing this, but I'd love to know if there's some kind of workaround. I have messed with a few options (like the data always on option) and haven't had any luck.

I was using a SIM from another phone. It is the SIM card from my Work phone and I can not change the plan. It does have unlimited text and internet I just cant change it to a 4G plan. I had added the APN that is floating around here and that worked except I was having the same problem as the OP.

Like I said, my issue was very much like yours and OP's and adding cutom APN made no difference until I called AT&T and had them update IMEI on my account. Presto, all problems went away instantly. I understand that it's not an option for you, sorry
have you tried creating a new apn? try creating one using these settings.

Just did this. Thought it might have resolved it at first, but it didn't. Basically, when I put the phone down for a while, it's like the data connection goes to sleep and doesn't wake up. When I turn the screen on, there's no mobile data. Sometimes, the dual arrows are visible under the "H", but only the up arrow is lit. Other times, the check mark (meaning no data) shows up under th "H" and stays there. Switching Airplane mode off and on will reset the connection.
I hate to say it, but the phone may have to go back. I love everything else about the phone, but this bug is too major to wait for an update or fix. What good is smartphone that doesn't get data reliably?
are you running the stock rom? i haven't been using that rom much so it may behave differently than the custom roms.
i don't think its a common bug. i would see if you can get a replacement phone.

Definitely stock rom. No rooting or anything. I didn't notice this on the first day I had the phone because it was on Wifi almost all the time. I turned wifi off to test it and the issue persists. I suppose I should try resetting the phone first, though I'm not looking forward to setting it back up again. After that, I'll take it into AT&T. I'd love to keep the phone. Can't believe no one else is having this issue.

yeah, resetting it up is a pain. sorry, and i hope you get it fixed.
Just to say it again. I had the exact same problem as the OP. Maybe we both had a flaky phone?
Okay, turns out there's an issue with the AT&T tower closest to my house. I found out from a rep at AT&T. I haven't left home much at all this weekend, so I had no standard for comparison. I just verified it by turning the wifi off on my iPad and using 3G data. It has the same issue.
Of course, I had already done a factory reset and gone to the AT&T device support center, but at least my phone is fine.
As a side note: I love that Android restores your apps now. I always thought WebOS was awesome for doing that and that was what frustrated me most about Android, with as often as I swap phones.
Wow... Wish this was my problem. I switched back to my Palm Pre+ and my data works fine.

Some issues with the infuse

I have been going round and round with att on this issue. My infuse will bounce between hsdpa and umts signal every 30 seconds no matter where i am. They believed the issue was with the phone and replaced it issue still happening. Then advised that it was a network issue and opened a ticket with the "network department" who advised there were no issues in the area. They then removed and re added my data plan with the issue still occurring. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
It's normal to be connected UMTS. You will only get HSPA when you are actively streaming data up or down.

Is that issue causing data connectivity issues?? On my first Infuse it would show me with 3-5 bars of signal, but when I tried accessing data on apps like the Market, Facebook, or stock Web Browser it wouldn't connect and would give me an error instead. AT&T doesn't know why that was happening. They eventually told me to exchange my phone.
It is and i get the same error it says network unavailable. This is the second "4g" phone this is occurring on

Wow, I had the Atrix and that was happening to me with it as well. I don't remember if it went away after I updated the firmware on it, but I had other minor issues with it as well so I returned it and got the Infuse.
I've been trying out my 2nd Infuse and it seems that it doesn't have network connectivity issues like my prior Infuse, but I've noticed it does start acting up when I use the stock web browser. Maybe the whole issue is being caused by the browser!
I am taking mine back today it cant sit on HSPA+ for more then 30 seconds at a time and this is where a cell tower is almost next to my house and i can see it.

I've been streaming on Pandora for 2 or 3 hours without an issue. My network type switches between UMTS and HSDPA constantly, is that normal?
After working with tech support they feel it is an issue with the phone as it is not locking on to a tower signal. I was also informed that it not a common issue but has been seen with a few of the infuses sounds like a bad batch of phones may be floating around

Man that sucks!! I started having network issues with my 2nd Infuse last night. Today I tried searching the Market and it just kept loading till it eventually gave me an error! I guess Best Buy has the bad batch. What sucks is that the rep at Best Buy almost gave me a hard time when I told her I wanted to exchange it due to network issues.
Spoke to AT&T again and the rep told me that the update isn't for any network issues and that she hasn't heard of any problems with the Infuse so she advised me to either get another Infuse or return it and get some other phone.

Hello,
I'm a new android user and I got the Infuse today. After reading this thread, I tried to see if my Infuse was having the same problem. I noticed when I'm not using data, it goes in to UMTS. However, if I start browsing then it'll go to HSDPA, would this be considered normal or defective?

Not sure if that makes it defective but it happens on mine. Does it have issues loading websites?? Every once in a while when I search for something on google or enter another website my phone won't even load the site and when that happens I try an app that uses internet, Market or FB, and it won't load and finally give a connection error. AT&T doesn't know what causes it.

Congrats on getting the Infuse and moving to Android!
You're really lucky to start your Android experience with such a great device.
Switching from UMTS to HSDPA is totally normal. The battery would die very quickly if the radio had to maintain a constant HSDPA connection. The default is UMTS, and when transferring large amounts of data, the phone should automatically switch to HSDPA.

I haven't had that problem yet, but I've really mostly been using wifi to surf, but I guess I should stop so I can figure out if my device is defective. I'll let you know if I have any issues.
As an experiment, try downloading the app "Net Ping" from the market and set it up to ping every 3 seconds or so in the background. Now if you check your status, it should maintain a constant HSDPA connection.
Hmm...now I'm wondering just how quickly the battery will die? Time to find out.

Q: I don't have data anymore

So I recently bought the girlfriend a Samsung Galaxy S 4g. Definitely a bit different than the Evo in terms of the overall process. It didn't help that I started out in the Vibrant forums somehow...
Anyway. As it stands right now I have her phone all rooted and it has CWM and I'm using the Valhalla ROM. The issue is that she doesn't have data.... and when I go into wireless networks and check out the mobile networks and such, I can never actually see T-Mobile. If I search I can see AT&T, which I connect to and I start roaming. If I do this I still don't actually have internet. I can't use the market, or the web browser or facebook or anything that requires data. The browser will sometimes redirect me to some web2go website, otherwise it just times out or says it can't connect to the server.
So does anybody know what's going on? Please let me know if you need any more details.
I've never had trouble like this between my Evo, or my Epic 4g Touch or any friends phones. I've also tried going back to 100% stock unrooted GB and I still have the exact same problem. The ROM doesn't seem to matter, neither does being rooted.
Since you are running Valhalla bring down the notification bar and make sure you have the data toggle on.
Yep, it's definitely toggled to on. I even cycle airplane mode and make sure it's on afterwards.
Only other thing I would suggest is a factory reset. The phone should be picking up the T-mobile network without any problems. But if rooted or not and on stock vs custom rom the issue remains you may just have to set it back to stock and send it in for replacement.
And I know this is a silly question but make sure you call T-mobile and verify that this line has data plan. It has happened in the past when I added a line that it wasn't provisioned correctly and out of the blue the data stopped working. The service was automatically removed due to a reps mistake.
Check your APN settings. Should be T-Mobile's, if not then that's what causing the issue. Just look up for those on google.
Sent from my SGS4G using xda forum app
My APN settings are correct. I've now tried several other APN settings though, and this hasn't helped.
I know this phone is on a data plan. It's on the $50.00 a month prepaid. It did work when we got it, and after it was rooted. I just noticed recently that it stopped working, and I'm not sure at what point it happened, and if it has anything to do with what I've done.
I called tmobile and they said they couldn't see any network related issues going on. Just my phone not connecting, so it was made a ticket for the engineers I guess haha. They are supposed to work on it, and they usually will either fix it and never contact you, or call you if they need you to do something.
Bump.
I've been in really good service areas with full bars T-Mobile and I still don't have internet. So I really don't know what's up. The "T-Mobile engineers" haven't called me back or fixed anything yet.
I'm about to bring myself back to stock and bring it in to a store.
Bring it back to stock & maybe put it in recovery mode & wipe caches & do factory reset again. See if that helps before returning it.

You might try reflashing the ROM or maybe just flash a different modem. I had issues like that once when i was on black ice. If you had data before, there probably isn't anything wrong with your phone.

Having the same Data problem
I had an unlocked ATT BB Curve on T-Mobile and the data was working (although very slow...)
I decided to try out a "Vibrant" hoping to be able to install ICS via Cyanablahblah.
Searching on Ebay I bought one only it turned out to be the 4G (it didn't realize there was a difference.)
Since then I can't get DATA on the 4G except in WiFi.
On the network it goes to the page: u.web2go.com and says my data plan does not work on this device.
Has anybody had any success with this problem ?
Could it be a 4G issue ? Before DATA came from Edge.
Have you checked what your APN settings should be with the magics of Google?

Is there any way to fool it with a 3G modem flash or something ?
I think I screwed up when I bought the phone not realizing there were 2 variants of the "Vibrant."
I wonder if I would have this problem with the earlier (non "V") 3g phone.
Probably. If it were just the 3G/4G causing the problem, you can force the SGS4G to only use 2G networks in the data settings... but if it's anything like the old Verizon bits with tethering and other data, they check for specific data strings that are harder to fake... I mean, set.

[Q] Roaming icon on 4.4.3?

So as everyone in here, i'm a early adapter. Once 4.4.3. was released yesterday I had to have it.
For now, I wanted the stock 4.4.3. installed and so I did, but now I have this one annoying thing, my phone keeps telling me i'm roaming.
I'm on a Dutch virtual network Telfort which uses the network of KPN, I think it has something to do with that. Anyone else experience this "problem"/"feature ?
Better yet, does anyone have a workaround to turn this off?
I tried enabling/disabling Roaming , didn't work. Soft reset, re-install etc.. None of those actions worked unfortunately.
No-one has this problem?
why is it a problem? its letting you know that its using a different carriers towers. unless you are getting charged extra, id ignore it.
Me to, also telfort. Have no clue what has changed...
same problem here
Same here, have to keep roaming on...
So no clue if I have 3/4G...
Any solutions??

This is a problem because a lot of people live close to the border. With roaming enabled, you connect automatically with a foreign provider. at high costs.
I've managed to solve it using a work-around:
Downgraded both the bootloader and radio to:
bootloader: hhz11k
Radio: 1.0.25.0.23
wipe(!)
Kept WiFi off & skipped Google account set-up
Saw an H instead of an R above the signal icon
Tested: it works
Data Roaming box is unchecked.
I have got the roaming icon too. I have got Tele2 which uses the network of T-Mobile. I noticed that this is the case since I updated to 4.4.3, so it must be new since then.

[Q] Mate7 4g data problem

Hi all,
I've had this great phone MT7-L09 (softare version L09V100R001C00B127) since last December. My problem is that every now and then the 4g cuts off for a period of ten seconds.
It does not matter how strong the signal is nor which or whatever app I'm using. It just loses network. First thing I did was to change the old sim card to a new one. Did not help.
I was in contact with the Huawei support and conclusion was to send phone to service. OK. It came back with the same problem altough they changed the circuit board...so obviously they though that this would solve the problem. I did not. After messing around with it, trying to find if someone else was suffering with the same problem, with no luck, I send it back to service. Now they said that there is nothing wrong with it, but the problem is still there.
I havent noticed anything cut offs using 3g. It's not a major thing but it would be nice to know if its a firmware or any other software related problem.
If I use Netflix or similar where the data keeps coming it works just fine or if I use the phone as Wi-Fi hotspot, no problems.
It just loses network connection using apps like play store, facebook, whatsapp, twitter, every browser ie. firefox, build in browser, chrome, to name a few.
Should I just keep using it as it is or keep sending it back to service until they fix this issue???
Thanks

Sorry...one stupid question: have you already tried keeping the phone completely stock (without any application and/or software or any kin dof personalisation) for a couple of week and see if the problem still exists?
It really seems to me a software problem. Very strange.
I had the same problem with my MT7-TL10 golden version. For a week or so, the network used to come and go. Then ultimately the sim was not recognized at all. I sent it to Huawei service center and they told me that the sim slot is broken and I had to pay for replacement of the board which I refused. I was sure that I didn't break it. Now I am using my phone with one sim only.

I'm not sure, but isn't the sim card slot located on the circuit board??? If it is, it cannot be the problem, but I must try the second slot anyhow.

I've had this great phone MT7-L09 (softare version L09V100R001C00B127) since last December. My problem is that every now and then the 4g cuts off for a period of ten seconds.
It does not matter how strong the signal is nor which or whatever app I'm using. It just loses network. First thing I did was to change the old sim card to a new one. Did not help.
I was in contact with the Huawei support and conclusion was to send phone to service. OK. It came back with the same problem altough they changed the circuit board...so obviously they though that this would solve the problem. I did not. After messing around with it, trying to find if someone else was suffering with the same problem, with no luck, I send it back to service. Now they said that there is nothing wrong with it, but the problem is still there.
I havent noticed anything cut offs using 3g. It's not a major thing but it would be nice to know if its a firmware or any other software related problem.
If I use Netflix or similar where the data keeps coming it works just fine or if I use the phone as Wi-Fi hotspot, no problems.
It just loses network connection using apps like play store, facebook, whatsapp, twitter, every browser ie. firefox, build in browser, chrome, to name a few.
Should I just keep using it as it is or keep sending it back to service until they fix this issue???
Thanks

Man why everybody blames PHONE first??? like not trusting !
To fix this problem is to go to networks and u have to restore your apn to default it like refreshes then you can either just turn off data and then on and restart phone

Does not work, same problem after a numerous resettings. If I may add, I've have couple of other phones of which this problem does not occur.
In same place and conditions these phones work just fine not losing the data connection. Sure, if 4g is not available they use 3g, but never ever will the connection break off.

faulty 4G module tuner.. phone ... replacement needed...
change preferred network
Go to settings and -->mobile networks-->>preferred network and select "WCDMA only"..
It will fix your problem..
There is no such option in my phone settings, only the option to choose automatic 4g3g2g or automatic 3g2g or 2g, 3g only and 2g only. As previously stated no data loss nor connectivity issues using 3g. It's bit annoying sometimes when phone loses data connection altogether although signal is very strong. Just waiting lollipop upgrade if it'd solve the problem, I doubt it but...
network operator..
I think it's network problem..please contact your network operator..4g network have connection problem from some local area signal towers..so you just put other network company SIM card in your local area..(use 4g supported SIM only)
Thanks for your advice, but I don't think that it's SIM card problem because there is no problem what so ever using my other phone SGS5.
sorry

Hmmm. Sorry friend..I am helpless.. anyway continue your thread here..in Xda have brilliant members..they can help you..best of luck.
Thanks, I totally missed your comment...this is turning out to be quite a puzzle. I've noticed the less battery (<60%) I've have on the phone there seems to be nothing wrong with the 4g connection. ???
To answer to myself, I was too optimistic...nothing to do with battery. It's just so weird that phone works like a charm most of time and then suddenly not. I'm confused...
Now on the newest firmware lollipop 5.1 it fixed my lte problem
same issue
I bought mate 7 a couple of days ago and I keep losing the data connection. the network gets connected and lost again.
i did everything to fix it but no luck. changed sim, restored device, modified APN and no luck.
it keeps disconnecting seems that it is a problem with the phone itself as i have read the same issue on a couple of forums..
hope it is a software issue and get fixed soon as this is annoying.
In service they replaced my phone to a new one mostly because of this problem and I can say it did not help at all. Only upgrading to lollipop will fix the problem ( tested on beta) I'm on b145 now and it does that all the time. I guess it is carrier based problem not SIM nor hardware.
