I recently purchased a brand new Inspire 4G and unlocked it for T-Mobile. I went through the set up and checked if there was any new software available. It informed me that 1.84.502.11 was availible for download. After the software downloaded and the phone reboot, everythings seemed fine, but when i opend the Sense UI and tried to update the weather I get this error message: "The connection dropped while your weather information was downloading. Try downloading again?"
When I connect for Wifi everything works fine, its only on mobile network when i get this message. Is there a fix for this
I bet you need to redo your APN again for Tmo. The ROM update will force all settings back to ATT.

I have my APN settings in. Everything works fine other than that. I'm able to get on the internet on everything else.

I'm trying this from memory since I haven't used sense in a while. As I recall, there is a configuration menu where you can set how often weather, stocks, etc. gets updated. In that dialog you have the ability to choose the APN used for the connection. Look at that, it may be wrong.
Sorry for the late response.

Thanks for replying at all, sir.
I've looked in Accounts & Sync menu and seen no such thing that allows me to choose an APN used for connection. :/

When I try to send multimedia messages, i get an error saying "generic network failure". I'm in NW Pennsylvania but I have tried it other places, even places with AT&T's 4G and I.get the same error. I have flashed it with a new Rom and I don't remember trying to do it when the phone was stock. I have been able to send one picture from my phone and have received a couple but now it just won't do either. At&t help line is no help either. Is this a network thing, my Rom or my phone? I have coredroid v5.0 with one of the recommended radios I don't remember which one though.

I'm new to the android scene, I'm rooted and everythings working good but from what your describing the APN would be the first thing I would check out.

Try going into Settings>wireless & Networks>Mobile networks>Access Point Names>menu>reset to default
I've had luck in the past doing those steps when unable to send MMS. That will reset all your network settings that might have gotten mixed up or corrupted while flashing ROMs.
I will try these changes this weekend when I go back home to pittsburgh. the reception where I currently am is spotty at best so I want to make sure there is no network issues.

This is what worked for me...After struggling for 2 days i believe it is not the settings...I use default APN settings...It is the Mms.apk...please use this post to download and replace Mms.apk

This worked. thanks.
I have a rooted HTC Sensation running SelfKang's alpha10 CM7. I'm a T-Mobile customer based out of the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. I've had no problems of note with CM7 at all on Sensation. But...
I recently travelled to Florida and had no problem using phone and mobile data (outside of generally spotty network coverage). However, I went on a boat tour that took us several miles off the coast and (presumably) out of normal network range. I was able to access roaming when out there, but when we returned to land, I couldn't connect back to the T-Mobile network. I've tried toggling airplane mode and rebooting, I wiped and reflashed CM7 and I also tried flashing a different ROM (EnergyROM), all to no effect.
I've looked around the forums here and elsewhere and seen a few mentions of similar issues, but none of the proposed fixes I've applied have worked. I haven't changed the APN settings from what they currently show, but I did confirm with another working user that my APN login info is correct. I tried my sim card in my girlfriend's phone (an HTC Espresso running CM7) and it works fine and conversely, her sim won't work in my phone. When I "Search Networks", about half the time I get the "error searching for..." message and the other half it sees T-Mobile and AT&T, but I get "Unable to login to..."
The problem seems to be isolated to my phone (after the sim card test) but I can't figure out if it's hardware or a software/ROM issue. Everything else on the phone works fine (Wifi, programs, etc.) I've stopped short of reflashing a newer or older radio; I'm currently on 10.56.9035.00P_10.14.9035.01_M.
Any tips or fixes anyone can suggest would be much appreciated.
Thanks
reset the apn to default regardless of what you can see then do a battery pull from switched on reboot do a manual network selection should sort it for you
hmm...did those steps. I get the same problem.
Manual search for networks either gets "error searching for networks" or T-Mob and AT&T show up but selecting T-Mob get me "unable to connect at this time". This is all while showing no bars.
Did you try a factory reset?

Okay so here's what's happened.
My phone is the LG-925g from Rogers, and it's unlocked to work with Koodo. It WAS working just fine.
Sometime around my update to V20c (I don't know exactly when, so I can't say forsure it's the update) data stopped working properly on HSPA. It didn't entirely stop working, just sustained connections.
Let me explain.
On WIFI EVERYTHING works.
On 3G I can browse, check e-mails etc... but I can't download anything. Market I can browse, but not download. Youtube works in the browser, but not the youtube app. Shazam doesn't work. Facebook updates work in the browser, but not the Social+ widget. Weather updates fail.
I can browse and check e-mail and that's about it.
so data IS working, just not properly.
Here's what I've tried....
-Formatting NV partition
-Formatting Cache Partition
-Formatting internal SD Card
-Complete Phone Reset
-Took my phone to a Rogers store, hooked it up to the rogers cell network on a store-sim and it worked great
-Took my sim card to a koodo store, stuck it in a demo android phone, worked great.
- Factory Reset of phone
- (phone was not rooted at time of problem) rooted to install and use networking tools
-went into hidden menu 3845#*925#
-went into Other Hidden Menu: *#*#4636#*#*
-ran every test in hidden menu and looked for settings that may affect this
-Installed APN Remover to remove all APN's except Koodo
-Verified (with a koodo rep) every APN setting and even tried removing some or messing around with them
I'm about to downgrade and re-upgrade my phone to see if that works. Any chance that may fix it? any other possible solutions? I'll even take crazy solutions at this point because netstats pings, etc etc are not showing me anything, I just get a lot of Syn_sent connections without ACK's.
HELP! (And sorry for the wall of text)
have you tried setting up your APNs?
APN's
Yeah, I tried setting and resetting them a few times, even with a rep from the cell company.
I'm losing my mind!
Thanks anyways though!
Im using 21d. Seems to have somewhat similar problem. Getting unstable connections.
My problem:
phone kept switching from H to 3G to G and H again. Speedtest app revealed very low and inconsistent speeds..Reception bar also kept changing.
Phone was previously froyo. Im not sure if it's because of gingerbread baseband. I have some suspicions on that.

I agree. I think it's a GB thing. I'm on v21a, and I have the issue where upload arrow keep blinking, and I get the H -> 3G-> H.
EDIT:
I'm having this on v10d too
After months of having this reoccurring issue myself, I FINALLY figured out a solution. It had gotten so bad on mine that wiping the rom won't matter... the only solution was to wait for several minutes/hours until it returned or switch to a Sense-based or a GB rom. This fix should appeal to those who had to return to older roms due this issue driving them insane!
Let's clear up a few things first.. to those having this issue and being able to restore data by going into airplane mode might wanna invest in a new sim card. Best to go into a retail location and pick one out yourself. The newest ones (model number TM9177 or higher) work the best and have the fewest data drop offs. That should fix a lot of users intermittent data issues from returning.
If you still have data issues and already have a newer model sim card (TM9177 or higher) OR have data issues that don't get fixed after a reboot, switching into airplane mode, wiping, normally have to wait a long time for it to return on its own, etc.... then this part will fix it. :highfive:
Go to home, menu, settings, wireless & networks, more, mobile networks, access point names, menu, and FINALLY add a new apn. Chose whatever for name of apn (maybe tmobile alternate, tmobile 2, or whatever), the next line, the actual apn, with be "wap.voicestream.com" (no quotes, duh). Next add this line to MMSC... "http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc". Everything else should be left as is. Now hit menu, save apn. This new apn seems to work with all features I've tried... text messaging, full data access, same speed as default epc.tmobile.com apn, tethering, etc. Haven't tried MMS but the settings for that line is there in our alternate apn we just made. Please post results on that if anyone still uses that feature So... that's it. The old apn works nicely and you say GO TO HELL! to the annoying data icon flashing on and off forever!
Be sure to post your results/experiences to confirm but it seems to be gone on 4 other MT4GS CM9/10 users besides my own. I REALLY HOPE y'all are as happy with this fix as much my family, friends, co workers, and I are! Do forget to use the thanks button
Also... you can try "internet.voicestream.com" for an additional apn. I'm not sure if MMS will work on that one even with the MMCS set as "http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc" but it's work a try. If anyone wants to check it out is welcome to. Again... post your results. I'm not sure how long tmobile will leave these old apns active but I bet it's longer than anyone will be still using this model lol! Enjoy!
I've been one of the lucky ones not to have had this problem but if this fixes the issue of those that have been, this is one NIIIICE CATCH! GOOD WORK, sino8r!!
I'm very anxious to hear how this works out for everyone!
Intermittent Data 3G 4G Loss Disconnect
Wow, Thanks. I've been fighting with this all day.
I've been running SilverL CM 10.1 for a couple of weeks and today suddenly lost my T-Mobile data connection.
I tried many solutions (I wish I'd found this thread sooner). Wiping Cache, Fix Permissions, Reflashed, different Kernals, different loads. Going back to Gingerbread worked, but I lost the data when I went back to ICS/JB.
There was even another thread that was close with deleting all APNs and creating a new one, but the settings still weren't there.
This took care of it right away.
THANKS !!!!

Tested it with 2 diffrent JB roms fixed data problem in about 10 seconds from selectign new APN. Data speeds are back to normal! Will update if anything changes.
After several days even weeks of no issue then suddenly I get data issues again so I go back to mobile networks to find the second APN I created to be deleted... Anyone experience this?

thanks for the info! i ran across this thread while searching for a new ROM for my mytouch 4g slide, hoping it would fix the issue. once I arrived to the access point names, i noticed that the apn selected was for LTE. I switched to the regular one and now it works great. thanks!
I had this issue while on cm9 releases but it had gone away after I began using unofficial 10.1. Sort of. In certain areas- and I assume with certain towers - my data wouldn't work with some apps (ie., Facebook, Google maps) even though the data icon would show "H" or "3g" locked on and blue consistently. Sure enough, this fixed it right up.
Also, although my phone shows the option for the Tmobile lte APN in the settings, it was not selected by default. Thanks for this!

PLEASE IGNORE , I FIXED THE PROBLEM...ALL I DID WAS LEAVE THE PROXY FIELD BLANK AND JUST USE THE SERVER FIELD INSTEAD!!
Hi, I am new to this site and new to Android over all. I recently got a Samsung Galaxy T959v. When i got it, it was on gingerbread however it was unlocked and to unlock it I took it to a technician. When i got it back it was back to stock Froyo, I hated this and tried to update via kies but it wouldn't work. It said unregistered firmware. I asked around and got help to upgrade to ICS using CM9 (BIG THANK YOU TO Cascabreu!!)
However since then the data on my phone does not work, WiFi is fine but the network data is not.
The message i get when i try to use the browser is :
CONNECTION PROBLEM: Authentication via the proxy was unsuccessful.
I thought maybe its the ROM, so i used a different one, AOKP Milestone 6 and its the same problem. When i go on facebook it says network error.
I contacted the network provider and re-entered the APN settings and it still would not work. Weird thing is, if i use the phone as a hotspot, it sends the data to my tablet and I am able to use it..have no clue why it wont work on its own. Also the "E" comes up on the phone indicating that the data settings is on, but it doesn't really "download" data as it should.
Someone please HELP!!!
That's a strange error that I've never seen before. For starters check your IMEI. Settings>about phone>status. If the imei is good then the problem is most likely in your apn settings. What carrier are you with?
Check your IMEI

Whatever that "technician" did, must have messed up your phone, do what they mentioned above, and if anything seems wrong flash back to stock using Heimdall.
If you want we can still put you back into ICS.
Thanks allot guys!! I thought I replied to this post afterwards..... But I fixed the problem...... I was to leave the proxy field blank.... Called the phone company and they told me to put the same info as the server in the space..,.. But that was incorrect!! I left it blank and it worked perfectly!!!
