I have tried 3 different versions of the Cyanogen mod on my Hero over the last few days and I can't get my data to stay on 3g. I'm staying in the same areas I've always used my phone and I never had problems before. Luckily I can stay on wireless most of the day, but 1x is driving me nuts.
Radio version is 2.42.01.04.27
Any suggestions? My last thoughts are to go back to stock and hope I get my 3g back...

Maybe you need to update your PRL?
As far as I know, the only way to do that is to flash a Sense ROM, go in to the settings (Under phone info, I believe), and do a PRL update. Then you can flash back to CM6.1 and see if it worked?
You can also try flashing different radios to see which gives the best signal for your area, but that has a slight chance of bricking your phone, so... Be careful?

PRL might be it. I doubt a different radio would help. I've not had any problems with the newest radio and I've been running on it for a while. I'm beginning to wonder if it's a problem with turning off wifi. If I restart the phone I can start and stay on 3g. But, if I change to wifi then switch back 3g doesn't return probably 90% of the time. Disabling and re-enabling data doesn't help either.

Isn't that basically disabling and re-enabling data?
Why not post in the correct. Section=Q&A.
Or in the cm6 thread?

I don't really look at the data notification in the status bar but there have been instances where I have noticed that reads 1x. Mine seems to switch and like the OP said I am in all the same areas prior to the 6.1 update. I am using the same radio and PRL list as prior to the 6.1 update. I also have my wife turned off and never really turn it on. So this leads me to think that 1 either in some cases there is a problem with the data maintaining its 3G connection or 3G was busted prior to 6.1 and is now reading accurately...though I do not think that is the case since my sister has the same phone and is running sense and she is not losing 3G
Just out of curiosity, could this explain my poor batter life, I am only getting maybe 5hrs and that is with little to no use.
I had the same problem going to the Nov2 build of the blackmod, 3G dead, nothing worked to fix it short of flashing over to a stock build and do the re-provisioning via the #*# code. After that I totally wiped the phone and installed the new CM6.1 build and all is well.

Yeah, I went back to stock and it was normal for me. The last rom I did was the blackmod so it might be something there.
Lol "wife turned off" haha

Cyanogen 6.1 no 3G, After Using Wireless
I also noticed no 3G on 6.1. If I used wireless (802.11 to router), the 3G connection would be dropped, as expected and desired. Upon turning off wireless, the 3G connection would not be reconnected. This was not a problem with ADW not updating. All network apps reported no connection. After a reboot, the 3G connection was restored, until wireless was enabled.
I'm unable to get a data connection with any 2.2 Rom no matter what I try. I have this problem not only with CM 6 and 6.1 but also with AOSP which till the problem started I'd been running everyday since I rooted my phone in September.
Been running Liquid for about four days and haven't had any problems.

And I thought I was going crazy! The last week I have been having TERRIBLE luck with my 3G connection with the latest builds, Tried the newest RC,,,,Themed froyos, AOSP, ETC, and kept having issues so finally said screw it and I'm back to 2.1 for a while, Atleast for a week or so till some more bugs are worked out! Anyone know any reason why this all of a sudden popped up after three months of builds???

CyanogenMod-6.0.0-Heroc Works
Just to be clear, it was the 6.1 RC1 that gave me the problem with returning to 3G after using wireless.
6.0.0-Heroc works fine.
Hello everyone. Been on here a while haven't really posted much. Have a shift 4G used to have new update prior to being able to root that so I downverted fully rooted and ran Cryo 7 for a while. Switched to MikShifted-Gv2.1. I love it! It's great. A buddy of mine was looking at my phone the other day and noticed that my phone wasn't using 3G because it wasn't saying 3G when I was at work (state buildings don't let you use their wifi It just has the 1X in the status bar... Just out of curiosity is he right? Am I really just running 2G? Where the heck did my 3G go if it is true?? Am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
1x would be 2g, ev or 3g would be the 3g. Don't know why it would turn off, usually its data or no data. Check your setting to make sure its not disabled. Also check apps like tasker or juice defender if installed or anything similar, They can also control 2g/3g.

There probably isn't anything wrong. All phones switch in and out of signal types, 1x , 3G , etc. MikShifted G, and Supreme Sense are enabled to show you all the different types of signals so that's what your seeing. Most phones do not actually show you when you switch out of 3G. They want you to think your always on 3G at the very least.

What he said. Before I rooted I never saw anything lower than 3g. Since running custom ROMs I now know what I'm actually getting for a connection. Not sure why carriers decide not to give us an accurate portrayal. Oh well.

Thank you guys for the quick responses. So even though my phone ALWAYS says 1X unless I'm in either a 4G area with 4G turned on at home or on WiFi at home I won't exactly know if I'm in 3G or not? My wife has an Optimus S and she is in 3G at our house sitting right next to me. When we go out he phone is so much faster than mine looking online at things cause it says she's in 3G. I was looking through my phone at the Mik Tweeks and there is a place for me to change connection settings (EVDO etc.) Is this the place I need to see if there is a change? I just find it weird that no matter when I look it's always in 1X...

I checked and don't see anything about turning 3G on or off. And I don't have a task or juice defender or anything of that kind (learned my lesson) and nothing. I'm getting kinda frustrated. Would getting a new rom fix problem. I just want to make sure I'm getting my monies worth. We don't have 4G at my house yet but it's up the street by a Jack n' the box so I wanna at least be able to get my 3G when I want....

Yes, I've updated everything that I'm able to update on the phone (minus the software update. I think cause I'm rooted) And no dice. I've been fiddling around with it and was looking and it says 1XRTT... What does that mean?
So you don't 3G reception anywhere? Did you Update the Radios?

That's what I'm not sure about. I don't know if I get 3G or not. my status bar when not in either WiFi mode or 4G mode doesn't say 3G or EVDO or anything other than 1X. When I'm in 4G it says 4G when I'm in WiFi I see the WiFi symbol. When not in either of the two it says 1X... And yes, I've updated my radios. I check every 2 or so weeks to see if there is an update. Updated the radio yesterday.
If you've checked in several areas and never get 3G. What I would do is re-wipe, and re-flash. If it still doesn't work correctly try flashing a different Rom to see if it works correctly.
Okay so I tried to update the PRL and wiped my phone and tried to use the ROM again, still to no avail. I'm going to try newSense ROM hoping that it will help. I have a question though:
I cleared my cache and Dalvik cache. Is there something else I'm missing? I Thought I wiped my phone back to stock (assuming that meant getting rid of the ROM), but the ROM remained on my phone. Did I miss a step or was to supposed to happen?

Before you Flash a Rom, it's best IMO to do a FULL Wipe. There is a guide linked in my Sig. Read and follow the guide, and you should be all good. Also, if you did not do a FULL Wipe before Flashing MikShifted G that could be what's causing your issues. What do you mean by taking it back to stock BTW? Like Factory Stock? Or something else?

I'm curious as to if I can go back to the stock rom and remain rooted then try it all over again (as far as flashing ROM again.)
Then main thing I'm trying to fix is my 3G. I would love to have it again or at least know when I am. My wife's phone is far less superior than the Shift but when we are out and about her 3G works and kicks the pants off of my 1X any time of the day.
So... wiped EVERYTHING x3 as instructed, flashed new ROM (newSENSE) flashed just fine. Updated radio to the 1.8XXX, that worked just fine as well... STILL don't have a 3G signal, still says 1X.... Ahhh I'm getting frustrated!!! What do you guys think?

At this point I would RUU back to 2.2. Start the whole Rooting process over. RUU'ing should correct most any issue you may be having. It doesn't solve everything, but it will give you a better idea of what's going on. So RUU back to 2.2. Check the signal. Then Re-root, and check the signal. If all is still good flash a Rom, and check the signal.

Okay, I'm ready to give in and restore back to 2.2 I can't find a valid link. I had the zip file once, but no longer do. Can anyone help?
So I used the RUU and went back to stock, re rooted my phone (3 times in one night) and everytime I would root it, the 3G sign would remain, but as soon as I flashed ANY ROM on it it always went back to the 1X. Each time I rooted I used a different ROM so I give up. I'm just going to have to leave it as it is. I don't know what else to do
Thanks for all everyone's help trying to trouble shoot this. If anyone has had this problem and found a way to fix it, please let me know. Thanks XDA
Did you try a Stock Rooted Rom? Like the latest Rom, just Rooted. I believe Sparksco has one.
I've been using my Rogers HOX ever since it came out but always had random data drops. Tried all kinds of radios (with or without RIL) and all kinds of roms and the issue is still there. Losing data is not the biggest issue but it also drops the battery real quick because it keeps trying to connect.
Anybody ever find a solution to this?
I'm using the HOX on Straight Talk and lately I have noticed that when I have WiFi on for a while, assuming it stays connected, I lose mobile data. The only thing that bring it back is toggling airplane mode or rebooting the phone.
I am on Jellybean, and I am not sure if the issue was present in the stock ROM's.
Yep still having the same problem on AT&T with every combination of Kernel/ROM/Radio you can think of. I can also say that it isn't a "rooted only" problem because a coworker is having the same issues on 100% stock software. There's always that ONE THING that keeps my phone experiences from being perfect. Grrrrrrrr........

Stock 2.20 on Straight Talk. Have to toggle Airplane occasionally. Especially in North Little Rock. ::shrugs::
OP, have you restored your stock setup to see if the issue persists? Basic question, but for the sake of a starting point.
After so long, finaly found the problem. I don't know if it'll be the same for everyone but the problem was Swiftkey keyboard. The moment I uninstalled it, the problem did not reoccur.
I have the same problem and I can assure you its not the phone, I have used many android phones, iPhones, and regular phones on rogers 3G network and they all have the data drops in general like dropping to 1 bar and no service once and while.
You might want to switch your network to wcdma/gsm instead of wcdma/gsm/LTE. If you dont have the correct APN for the rogers lte network it will keep searching for the lte nrtwork causing the data drop. As soon as I turned my lte toggle off the network stopped dropping randomly though I still get those random data drops caused by the network

We had this issue with the rezound, it actually occurred because you flashed different radios.
You had to flash a ruu or a modified one without the system image. See my SIG
So try flashing a ruu, this doesn't explain someone with a stock phone having issues but I bet that's just tower issues
I don't have any of these issues

Tried all of the listed solutions and nothing worked. I know it's not the network because I don't have the problem with my Note II. Swiftkey was the issue for me, once removed, the issue never reoccurred.

Wow, you might be onto something here. I just installed SwiftKey last night and immediately started having issues. Data has been off-and-on with different versions of different ROMs, and never suspected that my issues may lie within an app that I was using. I was mucking about with radio ROMs and a million other settings, never realizing that SwiftKey was installed right around the time I started having issues on each ROM.
I'm going to jump back to CM10 this evening and see if this was my issue.
THANK YOU in advance! (Thanks button has been hit!) Nice work!
You gotta be sh***ing me! After all this time scouring xda and numerous other sites.starting my own tread it was SwiftKey all along? Wtf? I did a thousand different things. Nothing worked, took off Swiftkey, bam, flawless. I've got a T-mobile GS3 incase anyway was wondering, no, apparently it's not just with htc or AT&T/Rodgers. Weird though cuz my wife has a AT&T GS3 with Swiftkey and has no issues whatsoever... Did you dl your version from the playstore or from a 3rd party? Thanks a million for posting your solution. This was absolutely killing me. God do I hate this stock keyboard though...
I apologize if these questions were asked before, but I could not find anything that helped through searching.
Both my wife and I are having issues with the signal on our phones. We get drops and a weird noise occasionally occurs (a weird gargle sounding noise or something like a fax machine). I'm running the latest Ultragen, and she's running the latest AntonX Barebones. I just find it weird that both phones do the same thing.
So, the question is, do all these ROMs use the same modem? Could switching to a different modem help solve the issues I'm having? How do I find out which ROM uses which modem? There's nothing listed in the phone's "about" section of which modem is being used.
Any feedback would be awesome!
About phone>baseband. That will tell you what modem your running. Fb's got thread for modems in the Dev section.
Try some and see if it fixes it. I've never had that issue and don't remember anyone else having it either.
Thanks, Hechoen! I'll check out FB's thread and just do some trial & errors. I'll definitely post back with my findings just in case anyone else runs into this issue.
I forgot to mention that I'm on T-mobile; although I doubt it is carrier related since both phones are having the same problem and I'm in Chicago, where the signal is strong.
For what it's worth I guess TMOB and MetroPCS are in the process of merging. Some people on are having strange issues. So if this has started recently I'd call TMOB and *****. Also try going back to stock on both phones for a few days. If it still does it then call TMOB and ***** some more. LOL Good luck.
I didn't know they started implementing that... I'm definitely gonna *****! LOL Thanks for the heads up!

I've had a strange issue with my Blaze lately, I'm on the latest version of CM10 with the UVMB1 modem. For some reason texts will drop sometimes. It doesn't seem to happen often or consistently, I'll fire off the text, it will say that it was delivered, and then I'll find out like a day or two later that it never sent.

Ha that's funny. I just went back to stock (by far the best battery life based on how I use my phone) and I am getting random people calling me saying that I just called them. It appears someone has a grudge against me and is spoofing my number. Sad thing is that this happened a year ago and so many random people were calling me I had to change my number to make it stop.
Personally I'm starting to think it's related to wifi calling, as after I changed my number I ran exclusively 4.1.x with no wifi calling without this issue and 2 days after going to stock with using wifi calling it's happening again...
I guess what I'm trying to say is a few dropped texts isn't as bad as you might think...
You could always try a different radio. I use the s2's UVMC6 radio and it gets me reception that i never had before. I was also getting double texts and this radio stopped that as well. Here's the link to a flashable zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31769119

No difference in battery life. No glitches. Flashing that radio has only made my phone better. Don't know if it'll help your situation, but worth a try...
