Hey all, so its simple:
i wiped and went to stock, updated all the way, then flashed the rom just in case it would help. then i flashed the tetherfix and started restoring my stuff. the contacts would not restore using TB, but i ended up taking care of that thru my gmail account. now the issue is im getting force closes on my camera app, every time i open it it forcecloses, and i keep getting android.media force closes at random times.
add to that the fact that the facebook sync doesnt work(i have a decent work around for now), battery is disappearing at a ridiculous pace, virtually dead from 100% in under 8 hrs where i was mostly in class not using it, and the lack of the features from my favorite CM based rom, and i am pretty irritated about how this update's turning out so far.
oh and while everyoen was talking about getting better signal, im having issues with 4g dropping to 3g; it shows no signal but wont drop back to 3g, or goes into idle 4g mode tho connected, but apps that need internet dont take it off idle...finally, its not letting me update PRL or profile. this is on TEUV kernel, stock rooted rom 2.3.7.
Any fixes i can employ for now until CM or such rom that takes care of all the issues mentioned above, adopts 2.3.7?
ive also gotten a few times where i was getting core forcecloses and had to wipe cache partition to get it working again. cache and dalvik.
thanks

Its probably because you restored literally every app you had backed up including system apps. So I bet you restored the camera app on top of the already installed 2.3.7 camera app. Clear cache and data for the apps that are force closing.
Also, did you have this 4g issue on the stock kernel? I ask, because if you are in an area with a weak 4g signal, running an undervilted kernel could decrease signal strength.

Generally restoring apps + data using TB from rom to rom causes more issues than (specifically FC errors) than it is worth.
go to the main phone settings, applications, manage apps, all, camera, then clear the data. now open the camera. never restore data or youll have issues.
Simms u pretty much saved me on that one thanks so mmuch
I cleared data for camera and for media storage and for now it seems to do the trick. Any wisdom on battery, 4g 3g thing, or prl profile updates? And to answer the question, on stock I didn't try the 4g but its worked fine on 2.3.5...finally what kernel do u guys recommend for best performance and battery?

Hello all, I am having a problem with my phone. I currently have an htc hero and am on Alltel's network. I have been a root user for some time now, am running a cm7 nightly and I recently decided to back up my rom and do a system wipe to clear up my phone and hopefully improve performance a little. After backing up my rom and performing a data and cache wipe, I re-flashing the nightly on my phone and I now no longer have data signal. I can not access the internet, the android market, email, Facebook, etc. I can however still make and receive phone calls and send and receive text messages. I tried flashing on several different versions of cm7 nightlies and RC's and every time I encountered the same problem of no data signal. The only time I receive data is when I restore my phone to an earlier recovery from before I flashed a new rom on my phone right after rooting while still running sense. I have also tried un-rooting my phone in hopes of re-rooting and re-flashing a rom to fix the problem with no luck. If anyone has any ideas or can help in anyway I would be extremely grateful.
You guys can not tell that out of all of you "genius'" out there that not one of you can help me with my problem?!?!
So apparently I only lose data signal in certain towns. When I am down at school I have no data signal but only when I run cm7. When I am at home I get full data signal. Anyone have any ideas?
Hi-
I have the T-Mobile LG G2x. I have been using and updating my ROM weekly with the latest port of MIUI ( WhiteHawkx's version ) -- currently on 1.12.01 [12.02.2011]. I have a horible time keeping my APN up. I can make calls of course, and I can use data, for a while, but then after 10 - 20 minutes I lose my APN and no more data. I have tried the "Power Button and Vol. Down" trick, but even tho that will fix the data connection, it is only for a short while and I will lose it again. There is NO rhym or reason as to why this is happening.
Am I the only one that is having this serious issue ?? And it is not my data being throttled. When it happens it is gone completely until I somehow force it to restart.
Any thoughts on how to resolve this ?? Are other people having this issue also ?? It happens to me about 30 times a day.
One bit of information: If someone pushes me a packet of data (like a whatApp message or KiK message) my APN will start working again for a little while. But only if they pushed it to me. otherwise data is still not going out. And I do NOT have anything set to sleep.
Thanks for any insight !!
John

(not specific, but I posted a similar issue in this thread)
These are just from the first couple of pages from the General and Q & A forums of topics with people having issues with one or the other:
APNs lost
Data dropping
Losing network connections
etc
Certain roms seem to be slightly better, but people have had issues (like me) with everything from stock, to CM7, to MIUI. This is more than just a coincidence. I think LG must have shipped a batch of POS G2xs. And if you have NEVER had an issue, then count yourself as lucky.
Thank you for the reply..... but my issue seems a bit different. I do not have any trouble with my signal or cell talk dropping. My phone never drops a call. This is only data related. Like going to the Android market or using any app like messenger, whatapps, kik, Skype, ect.... anything that uses data will eventually stop sending, until I reboot. my SIM card is fine.
Any other ideas ?
Ah, sorry I misunderstood. You might want to check out a different kernel then.
im having this issue as well
except i only lose my apns if i shut off than turn back on my phone, im using rg2x
I'm having this weird problem with my G2x where my connection to T-Mobile's data servers has a mind of its own. Sometimes, I'll have no problem booting up into (or switching from WiFi into) a stable data connection, but at others, I can't find for the life of me a way to get it working correctly/normally.
I've had this with every ROM/kernel I've installed since I rooted it on day 1. I don't remember if I had any problems back on stock ROM and kernel, but it looks like I'll soon be unrooting and restoring to find out.
Another (possibly-related?) symptom I have is that my APN settings are forever cursed to be blank. There are no settings listed and I can't get any ones that I add to save. I got an APN manager app from the market that showed I had the proper APN settings up and running. Therefore, I'm assuming this is not the cause of the problem; otherwise, how come it is indeed connected to data services? Correct me if I'm wrong.
I'd also just like to say I'm not the only one experiencing this. I've seen a handful of other posts throughout the G2x threads that are reporting the same connectivity issues.
Any ideas what's going on? I've tried most of the basic stuff:clearing cach, rebooting, wiping Dalvik cache, fixing permissions, etc. I'm starting to believe that there was a batch of G2x's that came with manufacturer defects that were unknown until now.
EDIT: Solved this problem myself. see this post for more info.

ok, so this might seem kinda obvious, but i want to know for sure. wifi calling has been running even when i'm NOT on wifi... is this right? and will i be able to make calls while connected to wifi if i uninstall it? only because "cell standby" has been eating up battery for some reason for the past couple days. i'm rooted running cm7 / mazout360's 2.6.32.60 kernel / wolfscript on this g2x. i'm pretty sure that the 'omdaclient' apk isn't here anymore as well... any input would be much appreciated!!! :fingers-crossed:
I'm sorry, just to clarify....you're using wifi calling while NOT connected to wifi?
when i'm using mobile data and not wifi, wifi calling is still running and every time i try and force close it or even when i terminated it with the task mgr in wolfscript, it keeps coming back...! :silly: :crying:

Don't mess with it if you use it. Cell standby has nothing to do with it. Use an app to determine who is eating up battery. Sometimes dirty flashing CM7 would help.

I never experienced that, I presume you are seeing it in the notification bar?
Mine would go off if Wi-Fi got weak or network dropped which was not unusual.

@MANSA: to dirty flash would I just go into recovery and flash the same cm7 I'm running? And what about the kernel n wolfscript? Then can I use titanium backup to restore all apps n data?
@pmorrsn: when I'm in mobile data wifi calling is running in the bkgrnd and the icon is NOT in the notification bar...

Dirty flash is as the name suggests... flash the ROM over existing installation without any wipe out formatting. Then apps stay as data is not wiped. If it doesn't work for you (bootloop or frozen) you can wipe cache and dalvik and see if it would help, but usually you don't have to.
Today I dirty flashed CM7 over Mokee IS.
-- The noob says:
The g2x works best if you chant "humba lumba humba" while standing on one leg!
That's kinda what I figured as when I first started flashing I pretty much dirty flashed about 3-4 times before I figured maybe its a good idea to actually wipe the cache lol... but I didn't know whether or not apps n data would still be there. Maybe I'll try that in the next couple days if this wifi calling BS persists. Thanks!

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?
