[Q] Losing data connection

Let me try to explain... Tmob US rooted new HTC one S.. Running trick Droid 4.3..
For some reason I have I will not be able to connect to data. The indicator still says connected sometimes I see the 3g up arrow go solid. Other times it trys to send some stuff on HSPA but does not work.
I have done the research.
I have flashed the latest radio. TMOB one not EU
I have reinstalled rom with full data, cache and dalvik wipes.
I know there is some sort of radio problem from HTC.
But this problems happens a many of times a day and there is no indication when it is broken until you see that there is no notifications and / or you go to use your data connection.
The only fix that I have found that works is to turn the mobile network off then back on....
Stats: 4.03, Baseband 0.16.31501s.16_2_10.22.3150s.10L, Build number 1.78.401.2.cl58751 Kernel 3.0.8-01136.....
What is the best way that someone has found to fix this....
Thanks in advance...

Look in the forum for the fast dormancy fix.
Sent from my HTC One S using XDA

I have tried many things and still have the same problem...
Attempts:
- New Micro sim not one that was cut down.
- New Rom (TrickDroid 6.1) Full wipe, cache, dalvik
- Fast Dormancy comes as a tweak in Trick Droid. Did not help.
- Update the radio to the latest one for tmobile.
Now sometimes I also cannot make a call or get a incoming call.
The fix is to put the phone in airplane mode then turn airplane mode off.
Has anyone else seen this.....
What is a way that I can diagnose / debug....

I would reformat sdcard, maybe even with sdformatter--copy to pc first and have nandroids on pc too
Wipe System 2x if you don't already
Try Axiom or LeeDroid

Don't have that answer--sorry
If all this OP mentioned is done including the ones I listed, there may not be a solution atm--barring return/exchange. I have never had the wifi issues, so not sure why some do and some don't--

Well I am trying everything now..
I will update soon.
I am re-installing TrickDroid 6.1. (Fresh Download) (Tmob version S4)
- Wipe cache, Data, system
- Format sdcard, data, system, cache (This is the first time I have ever formated sdcard)
- Did wipes and formatting more than once.
- Made sure that I format everything...
- Made sure boot.img is correct. by downloading and re-flashing
- New Micro sim from Tmob - NOT one cut down....
- Made sure all data from SD card is gone...
Once I get back up and test it out some more I will let everyone know if it worked...
I am not sure what is the problem... Maybe something was left on the sdcard???

2 days without losing data i think my problem is disappeared randomly.. But my battery it drain so fast with data on

What did you do???
Full wipe etc??? Can you provide details...
Since I did all of the actions above... I lost data once.. But that may be because of my location at that time..
I was losing data more than that before...

Well,
I have to say it is a little better but it not fixed.
I cleared everything as seen above.
Now I only lose my connection maybe once a day.
I am not sure what to try next.
I see HTC released to source for the HTC One S.
So maybe the next version will have some other improvements that will fix this problem

You should try to toggle the fast dormancy

I will try it... Does T-Mobile support Fast Dormancy???
Also has any one tried a different Kernel instead of the one that comes with TrickDroid 6.2??

LTE / CM9 CM10 Roms

I know a lot of people have been reporting issues with getting or keeping LTE with some of the CM based roms. I too had the issue.
After digging through threads for the HOX and several other devices I was able to find a solution (for me) and just wanted to share my findings here in a fresh thread (plus I'm a noob and can't post in the developer threads for those experiencing the issue).
Any time I went from a 4.0.4 Sense-based rom to any of the cm based roms I could never get my LTE to stick even after changing apns or *#*#info#*#*. What I discovered was if I would flash a Sense-based rom that was prior to 4.0.4 (I use cleanrom 4.0) , wipe caches, full wipe and then install the CM based rom all things were good with my LTE regardless of which radio I flashed.
Hopefully this will help some of you out there.

I've also discovered that coming from cr4.5 that there are settings that stick...namely wifi settings. I've wiped everything on my phone including internal storage and flashed something new and in the newly flashed roms there are wifi settings were remembered.
I don't know where any of this stuff is stored in the phone but i thought that a full system wipe, cache, dalvich would have cleared EVERYTHING.

Then might I ask, why don't those settings, or why don't my apps auto load, when I use an AOKP rom?

THANKS! I wasn't getting a 4G icon at all on CM10 but I did a full wipe (factory/system), flashed CR 4.0, checked 4G speeds (check), did another full wipe and installed CM10 & GA. As soon as the welcome screen came up I saw a 4G in the status bar. :good:

When u say full wipe. What exactly do u wipe? cache? system? external storage? factory reset?

Wipe Caches, Factory Reset, System wipe. Everything but the SD card.
[EDIT] I shouldn't say "everything". No need to wipe battery stats, rotation or SD card for this particular fix.

Should I do a fresh flash of cm? Or do u think a cm backup would work?
(Update), dirty flash back no working for that. Too lazy to go other route at this point.

I am with Rogers. I see rogers-core-appl1.apn that was set by default.
I do not know if this should or not connect to LTE. I found on a website that I could use ltemobile.apn but its only getting me HSPA and 3G.
I might have to reflash on cleanrom 4.0 and compare APN. but i do get 4G-LTE with clean rom
Anyone can tell me what APN they use to get LTE on rogers with all APN info?
Thanks
---------- Post added at 12:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 AM ----------
SUCCESS !!!!!
ok, so the APN was indeed rogers-core-appl1.apn and this one does not give LTE access.
I set up a new APN as below
Name: Rogers LTE
APN: ltemobile.apn
MMSC: xxxx://mms.gprs.rogers.com (please xxxx by https at beginning of the line... sorry as I am new on forum I cannot paste URL)
MMS Proxy: 10.128.1.69
MMS Port: 80
MCC - 302
MNC - 720
APN Type: *
I then changed the mode to LTE/GSM/CDMA using the *#*#4636#*#* and I now get 4g icon that means LTE.
I also see the its LTE from the phone info page.
Thanks for your help.!!

For the Rogers phones I have done 3 of them now and when you flash CleanRom 4.0 you have to go in and setup the Rogers APN and connect at least once. I found this makes a huge difference. If you don't for whatever reason the settings don't stick.
Once you flash CM10 I turn mobile data off and erase the 3 APN's that are listed. I then start fresh with a new APN for LTE.
I only have HSPA+ out here where I am so I can't test if the LTE or 4G symbol comes up. I have noticed that with HSPA+ I still only show as connected to HSPA under Phone Info but the speeds are HSPA+.
The settings for the APN that I used for Rogers is:
Name Rogers LTE
APN ltemobile.apn
Proxy Not Set
Port Not Set
User Not Set
Pass Not Set
server Not Set
mmsc http://mms.gprs.rogers.com
mms proxy 10.128.1.69
mms port 80
mms protocol WAP 2.0
mcc 302
mnc 720
auth Not Set
apn type *
apn enabled enabled
bearer unspecified
Also CM10 erases the voicemail number from the phone. So call your phone from your phone and access your voicemail. If you check your call log after that the voicemail number should show up there.

yes I had that fixed. number is +1 514 992 1188 for my region (Montreal)

By the way, the signal type reset on reboot. I need to dial *#*#4636#*#* and select LTE/GSM/CDMA.
I know some people have made it stick and I followed the instructions but it does not work for me. hopefully they can fix this.
I cleared everything and flashed to cleanROM 4.0 then cleared again and installed CM10-8-29.
This is a minior issue but gets on my nerves.
Cheers !

Its not working either. Nothing seems to get the signal type to stick on my phone.
Its a minor bug and I guess I can be patient and wait for a fix.
The one that is really bugging me is the low volume on calls.
Hope they can fix it.

Downgrade from CM 10.1 to 10.0?

I accidentally installed the 10.1 nightly (it was erroneously offered via auto-update)
Notifications and WiFi tether don't work, so I need to return to 10.0.
Is there any non-destructive way to do this downgrade? I'm getting really sick of wiping and re-installing everything!

Yes, re-install the rom from recovery. Wipe cache + dalvik and re-install JB 4.1.2 gapps if needed. Then fix permissions and reboot.
Don't need to wipe data/factory reset.

I checked my claims because I was curious. You will need to wipe. :/

Hmm.. yeah I suspected as much.
Damn.

Something is definitely changed after NS lost support from JBQ and his boys. 4.1.2 which is based on actual sources for the NS from Google definitely still runs better than some zomgfastbatterysaving 4.2 ROMs.

Here a how I've dirty flashed ROMs without issues. Of course I make a backup first. Then, I wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, and format system. Then I flash the ROM, gapps, and reboot. Learned this from the1dynasty. Hope it works.

WiFi and Data Network bars not showing

Total noob here.
OK so I am running the newest release of beanstalk. (March 1)
As you can see in the screenshot, I am connected to my home WiFi network, but the WiFi icon in the status bar is blank. I have tried reflashing the ROM.
I am still able to access the internet, and there are no related problems, just the icon. I may have accidentally changed some settings, but I don't know.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

i would say there probably is a setting for this. There was one in the last carbon build i was running. Check your settings

Here's the settings for signal on beanstalk.
There are some workarounds to this problem... I can use the text icon rather than the bars... Also for data network I can use the GB style (which does actually indicate how many bars I have)... However I would prefer to use the jb style bar, and not text.

Well I just full wiped and reflashed and it started to work fine. Currently running March 11 release. Sometimes when it comes up blank, I open up the quick setting tiles (2 finger pulldown), and then check if it shows up on there. If it does, I retract the notifications and it usually shows up. I reboot system ui if it doesn't work and that fixes it.
Also, I was able to call and text.

Weird ROM behavior, no data connection

So I installed bmm without issue, made my back ups and started trying roms. I had a hell of a time getting anything to boot. I would get stuck on the boot animation every time. Finally got slim kat installed and that is the only one I can reliably boot into. Tried aokp 4.3 which booted the first time but gets stuck on the animation now.
Also, when aokp worked I had no mobile data. Same problem currently with slim kat.
Where do I go from here? I've tried clearing cache and davlik on both with no luck.

Well wcdma only didn't do anything. After messing with Slimkat and another 4.4 ROM (which only worked until I rebooted) I've decided that there are just too many bugs for me to use it daily. I decided to try a 4.3 ROM but I'm still having issues getting one to boot after the first reboot. I've let it sit on the boot animation for 45 minutes and it never loaded.
I haven't found a lot of advice on the subject of ROMs only booting once. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I realize this is an old one, but I thought it might be worth mentioning...
I had the same problem. When I copied APN data (specifically "apn type") from my stock ROM data did enable, but at a very slow speed. A quick search yielded this AT&T site which suggested different settings. I was able to choose the "ATT Phone" config and modify "apn type" from "default,supl,mms" to "default,mms,supl,hipri".
When I modified that value, data was much faster, but still only clocked 3.5 Mbps on my CM ROM vs 5.1 on Stock with SpeedTest.net app. I believe it used different servers and I only did a single AB test.
...and by the way - I am also a bit frustrated with the BMM setup. It seems like a third of the time I am unable to successfully boot back into my CM ROM. It always seems to boot into Stock ROM fine. I do have CM in the second slot which it sounds like some folks prefer to not use.
