[Q] Sudden loss of data connection to market - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've got a strange problem..
Last night my data connection to the app market suddenly stopped working and was giving me the "there was a network error" message. I figured it was just on Google's end and left it. This morning I'm getting the same error still, but additionally Facebook wont load, and the twitter widget from launcher pro plus wont refresh. Strangely, the GMail works normally, the browser works, the Google News+Weather app works and speedtest.net app still reports normal speeds of about 3Mbps up and 0.7 Mbps down.
Everything works on WiFi.
I'm using a i9020A running on Telus. I WAS using du5ter's Stock/deodexed/zipaligned ROM with Netarchy 1.3.4 with XXUCDK1 radio when it started up. I flashed XXKB3 and the problem persisted. Reflashed XXUCDK1 and then flashed infin1ty and still have the problem. I had the build.prop tweaks applied when it happened and have since removed them but to no avail. Activating airplane mode and turning it off had no effect. I've tried everything short of unrooting and rerooting to try and fix this.
The signal bars are green and I have 3g/H at all times.
Someone in the Desire forums is having the same issue, but I doubt they're related.
Anybody have any idea what's going on?
Edit: The desire thread has an update.. could just be an issue with the Telus network.

Network Problem with my phone

Hello all,
Lately (meaning, the last couple of days -- perhaps 3 or 4), my phone has been unable to get a Verizon data network connection for a certain amount of time (4G or 3G). WiFi works fine. However, anything else doesn't work, say, for a few minutes, or a hour or so. Sometimes, a reboot will fix the problem, but sometimes it won't.
The odd thing is, the "4G-LTE" icon is displayed and shows activity (up and down arrows blinking), yet I can't browse the web, update the weather, update Facebook, check email, etc., etc.
Does anyone have any ideas? Running BAMF 1.3.2. I am in the middle of NYC (plenty of 4G service). Yes, Mobile Network is enabled in the Settings. Tried a battery pull as described above AND a SIM card pull. Still no fix.
I had a similar problem a few days after I got my Thunderbolt. I was still on stock yet. I ended up going to the Verizon store and they did a hard reset to fix it. It sucked because I lost all my data but since it was new I didn't have much on it. If you back up everything with Titanium Backup it shouldn't be too bad tho, factory reset is under "SD card and storage" in the settings menu.

There have been many problems with the TB and data/network problems as of late. I believe it to be because of this new 4G rollout that is coming Thursday, plus the fact we will be seeing an OTA quite soon they are propbably preparing the network for that, thus giving all of us all these weird problems that we have been having.
(everything above is just rumor and based on my 100% factual opinions )

You are describing the same problem I'm having and I also live in NYC. But, I have no problems getting data when I force the phone into 3G mode only.
I notice the data connection problem even though the 4G symbol is up when I don't have cell reception for a while...like being underground while on the subway.
Turning the phone off and on or rebooting seems to fix the issue. I'm thinking the phone has handoff issues with whatever tower is near by.
Anywho, I did the "data fix" by changing the EVDO setting from eHRPD to Rev. A. I dunno if that'll do anything.

Misc Data Drops on Custom Rom

I keep getting data drops where it will drop mobile data completely and wont keep a connection with wifi. It still says its connected with wifi but it wont transfer any data, with mobile data it wont even show a data connection on the status bar.
I hear this is a common bug that a lot of people have, I get a good connection on stock 2.3.3 so I am currently stuck. I was running 1.9.9 MIUI and have this issue on anything else I try.
I loaded a stock build.prop w/ MIUI and it killed my cell network connection, no connection at all and it froze on reading SIM, but my wifi connection would not drop, and was flawless. Is it possible it is a setting in the build.prop that is being added or overlooked in roms?
I am having this same problem.
I recently purchased a G2x and installed the latest stable CM7 right off the bat, and started experiencing random drops to the EDGE network. This and a dead zone in the center of my house led me to believe my phone had a reception issue.
I have flashed back to the stock rom and my dead zone is gone, completely, and the data drops stopped.
Google searching hasn't led me to any answers and my next stop will be the CM forums.

[Q] HSPA data issue, Help!

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

[Q] Odd Data/Wifi Connection Issues

Hey guys,
Really odd issue I ran into today...
All the sudden my data connection started to not work, chrome responded back to me with error 102, and other apps said there was no data connection, although there was a data connection shown on my phone.
However here's the catch...
Some apps still work with the data, such as flipboard (but only text, pictures do not show up) and the campus portal app (grade app) works perfectly, grades still update perfectly.
Even with wifi the problem is exactly the same..
Any thoughts on what happened/what I can do to fix it?
Any help is much appreciated

[Q] Anyone else randomly have their data stop working?

Hi everyone,
Just wondering if anyone's had issues with their data not working after while and require a reboot/airplane mode to work again?
I've noticed it both with Wifi and also with Mobile Data where one minute it'll work, and then suddenly I'll lose signal and need to reboot or switch on/off airplane mode a few times before it connects again.
Thanks!
Nope, haven't noticed anything like that yet. Is this happening on LTE or H/H+?
Nope. Do you have Chinese imported or International version?
Not stop, just slow...
Oneplus arrived from China and CM 11 was installed OK. For over a week everything has been fine using Virgin network in the UK.
Since yesterday though the data has been rather slow when browsing or using apps that require a connection.
When switching the data on the phone does recognise between 3g/H/H+ but when trying to load anything it is far slower than what it has been before.
I've tried clearing the cache and even clearing data but to no avail. Tried a factory reset last night and thought it was OK for a bit but today the same thing...
When using the browser pages will load but the blue loading bar at the top never moves past the first centimeter. (Doesn't move when using WiFi either though speed is finewhen using that).
Already contacted Virgin in case there were any issues but say the service is fine.
Any advice for troubleshooting or things to check would be appreciated.
Cheers

Another reset and browser OK... Haven't done any updates or or signed in to Google account or reinstalled any apps. I think a slow and steady install of what I want and syncing to see if there's a clash somewhere. Hmmm, not happy at all

I have had it where chrome wouldn't load webpages, usually it would start working again after a minute or two.
*sigh*... Thought things were fine last night but using it now its back to being slow again. No idea what's going on. Main update I had to install was Play Services. Chrome seemed a little funny so decided to roll it back at at the time things were alright but using it now its annoying. Took about 4 minutes to download a 3.5 meg file whereas it should breeze through it. I'm not expecting miracles but past experience was far better. Don't know whether there's anything I can do or just raise an issue with my original supplier.

Strange.. for me, it's been both H/H+, LTE and Wifi that have had it happen to me..
Also, it's not the Chinese version. It's the International version I got from Oneplus. Lately it's been ok, but we'll see how it goes..
APN settings ok?
Do you have your preferred network set correctly?
Personally I've noticed no difference. Its set as EE by default but manually added Virgin's own to try.
Been working quickly enough again without rhyme nor reason.

I can confirm the same happening to me... I'm on WIND Mobile in Ontario, Canada. It won't show that you lost the connection, things just stop loading... and the only way to fix it is to toggle airplane. It happens quite often, like a few times an hour. It's definitely a software issue that I'm hoping will be worked out in future updates, or maybe I'll have better luck with another ROM.

Same thing

I've noticed it a few times where I'll swipe to the left (using Google launcher) and Google Now will indicate there is no internet connection even though I'm in an area with solid coverage. Usually if I swipe down a few times to refresh it will reconnect and update. Today however I had to reboot to reconnect. I have already checked my APN and it's fine. Did not have this issue even once with my Nexus 5 or my OPPO 7A I've been using. I'm going to check the CM bug log to see if it's been reported there.
I*have the same issue. Seems to happen when the 4g signal is weak and the handover to 3g does not happen. Then signal is lost instead.
I changed my APN now, but don't think it will matter... I'll give it a go. Using Franco kernel now, but is probably baseband related. Never had issues with my g2 previously on same location and APN.
In Norway BTW...reboot solve the problem temporarily
I have the same problem. My data connection will just stop at random and Facebook and Google now won't refresh, YouTube videos will suddenly stop playing, and upon hitting retry I'll get an error in both the playback screen and comments, and also the speedtest app won't finish preparing the test when I go to verify that my data connection is severed. I would have to restart in order to get data working again. I do get LTE speeds when it works, but it seems that the OPO takes longer to ramp up to those speeds compared to my Nexus 5 if that makes any sense?
