So I am currently running bamf 1.6.3 and I change kernals a lot, but one thing I can't seem to fix are the data drops. I live in raleigh, so no LTE, and am running the .7 cdma / .6 LTE radio combo. The data drops off a lot, more noticeable when changing towers. Even sitting at home with good signal it will just drop to 1x and is hard to get 3g back without a reboot. Anybody else see this? No reboot problems
So am I the only one with this issue??
Mine drops 3g and 4g for a second or two and then comes back. It has been happening a lot recently.
At one point in time I would have that happen, it was because of a local tower being screwed up. Maybe switch from eHRPD to the standard 3g network? or vice versa?
Had the same issue with 1.6.3 and went back to 1.6.1 and Im fine again. Ill wait for another version before updating again
Having this same problem but I'm on stock and it only happens while I'm on 3G....nothing but problem since I got this phone....did Verizon and HTC test this phone out? Gps problems,reboot problems,data problems,battery...I'm really sorry I left my carrier for this phone.

the NEW 4g network is going to take some time to get running properly and because of that will have issues as will the phones. Not everything works flawlessly off the bat, give time to get everything settled and figured out and it will get perfected.
With all the radio/prl updates they have been doing I wouldnt be suprised if it is caused from that.
I was having the same problem. Disabling eHRPD has seemed to fix it. I still see strange signal drops, but I'm not seeing data drops at all.
It's not a fix, but rather than rebooting, just turn on airplane mode, wait for the airplane icon to appear, and then disable airplane mode. I have the same issue you describe, so I just keep the airplane mode toggle widget on my second home screen panel.
I'm getting very frustrated with the inconsistent data connection on this phone. I halfway considered trying to get VZW to let me swap it for the Droid X 2 when it releases next week.
I have similar problem. I live in Northern CA with 4G coverage. The problem will be like this:
- 4G works OK, data works
- Moments later, 4G icon shown upload activity (arrow up sign)
- Shortly afterwards, no data. Mail, Google Maps, etc. failed
Fix is to turn Airplane mode OR REBOOT the phone. I have tried switching radio mode (using LTE ON/OFF) but to no avail.
I understand 4G is new and so is the phone, but c'mon.. it has been sometime now and we are STILL paying for the service, even when the 4G network is down (few weeks ago) or when the phone loses data.
This happens to me on stock. Will be using 4G and then all data drops, then comes back, then drops, then comes back and repeats the cycle. Rebooting, airplane mode, nothing helps. Eventually it goes back to normal.
My phone went wacky yesterday. 1x and no data for four hours. Spent an hour on the phone with Verizon tech. We did everything possible and nothing. Then it just fixed itself. Had someone with a Droid X in the same room as me with great EV signal. Now the phone is perfect again. I dont get it . I have enabled REV A and now I put it back and that didnt matter.

Mine as well on 1.6.3 bamf remix. i had to keep going in airplane mode. it was stuck on no service or even the 4g icon (not blinking and no service)
We are Guenna pigs....
Since i have gone to the new leaked gingerbread radio not the latest froyo radio but the new gingerbread i dont have data drops
get it here http://www.multiupload.com/KQCRTNALV9
I too had continual problems with data yesterday (on BAMF 1.6.3) in San Diego. Kept switching from 4G/3G/1x. Today seems to be running smooth.
I'm gonna say thank god I'm not the only one, I don't live in a 4g area, yet there's many times my 3g will do the same arrow thing showing up and than everything fails. I'm running the new radio and perfect storm 1.4
, and drods kernel

So sometimes my 4G goes crazy and has the constant upload arrow lit up and stay like that w/ no data connection.. as if it is trying to communicate with the network but not get any response back. cant figure out how to fix it other than put my phone in CDMA mode and try switching back to LTE later on in the day. anyone else have this issue and no what the deal is?
using Das BAMF 1.6.3 Remix with .6 LTE and .7 CDMA radios. also this issue occurred when i was fully stock.
I struggled with that issue most of the day yesterday (stuck up arrow, sometimes alternating to 3G/1x), but so far today, I've been on functional 4G without a hitch. I'm running BAMF 1.6.3. I'd like to think it's network related, but can't be sure. . .
I get the stuck send arrow 1-2 times per week. I restart the phone and it's fine. Since the update the only issues I have had seem to happen when verizon is working on the network.
I've only had it twice, and both times it persisted for several hours, regardless of reboots and reflashing my ROM. I think it's network-related and ya just have to wait it out.
I was getting that before from time to time but since loading up the Ginger radio and chingy's gingeritis rom the switching from 3g to lte is fantastic and no upload lte hangs like you mentioned.
I had this exact same issue yesterday!!! I'm pretty sure it was a network issue...
Got the same issue yesterday. Running stock ROM + the OTA update.
Having problems with data again today. Reboots, toggling airplane mode not working so far. . .

Hey guys, I haven't done anything to my phone but all of the sudden, the data and phone signal basically quit working. I have a very hard time getting texts, phone calls etc to go though but it will eventually (usually takes a while or a few tries) and as far as data goes, I basically have no connectivity at all unless I'm on wifi. It says 3g or H every once in a while, but it's really slow and usually doesn't stay for long. I'm running CM9, and like I said before I didn't change anything that I'm aware of that would have caused this problem. It worked fine before, and it just stopped. Ideas? Thanks

have you called your provider? maybe its on their end.
I'm having the same exact problem... it shows my 3g it shows all my bars but instead of the bars being colored or the 3g be in color is gray. Also I cannot get back conectivity until I restart the phone. Does anybody have an idea what this is?
Are you on AT&T? I was not having any problems until a certain point in time, and I didn't change or do anything to incite them. I'm not even getting calls anymore, I'll just get all my texts in a wave every few hours. My data is useless, it won't stream, or load web pages, and my phone is frequently saying "Emergency calls only" when I'm sitting at my freaking house (which normally has full 3g and cell signal and is very fast)
This just started occuring with my 9020a on AT&T the first week of March. I switched SIM cards twice, spent about an hour on the phone with ATT, and sent the device back to Samsung who rolled back the software to 2.3.4 and the Radio to UKE1.
I still have the issue. Samsung says its not them. ATT does nothing. It;s liek the phone just stopped working, started dropped calls, missing calls, and the internet connection sucks. I have an iphone for work through ATT as well and have no issues with signal.
ANy help is appreciated.
Hmm
Make sure you have the right, most up to date settings for APN, and flash original radios. if it still doesn't work, make sure you have the i9020A, which has the at&t 3g antenna, not i9020T which has the T-Mobile antenna, vice versa.
Have you tried other radios for your device (make sure you flash the appropriate ones for your model)? Any signal info under Phone Information when dialing *#*#4636#*#*?

Sounds like you're having the exact same problem I am having. I switched sim cards, flashed different roms, etc and nothing. (although to be fair, after the new sim, things work better, but still not well) I'm about ready to pop my sim back in my craptivate and just go with that... or buy an iphone off of craigslist.

I am 100% sure I have the 9020a, but I don't know anything about APN and flashing radios. I have only ever flashed full roms before, so I wouldn't know where to look for the original radio.

I have not tried other radios. The signal info seems solid, sitting at my house, but the 3g is still horridly slow. It taked 15-30 seconds to load a webpage, even a pretty mundane one like google. Messages still come through in waves, and often won't send
About your APN, AT&T should provide you with the proper values to put in under Settings | Wireless & Network | More | Mobile Networks | Access Points Names.
If you are on ICS, they values should populate by themselves.
Can you try flashing other radios and see if you encounter the same problem:

Make sure you backup your EFS folder (and all data for that matter).
I had similar problems, they were related to turning 3g on/off with a APN widget while the phone had little signal. As soon as started enabling and disabling 3g on the android options everything was back normal.

the data works most of the time now it's just retardedly slow. I can't stream music even on low quality, nor can I watch youtube without leaving it for 5 minutes to buffer,pages take forever to load, and I was downloading a 6 meg app and it took 20 minutes to download whenI was leaving the phone alone and not moving. I got really sick of trying to fix it and finally gave it to geeksquad to send in to get replaced. sigh.
Today my mobile data suddnely started dissapearing. It is always on, but the 3g icon appears and dissapears every second. I reflashed, did full wipe, still happens. Something happened to 3g hardware or else i don't know what to do.
What firmware are you using? ICS official? HC? CM9?
Are you sure it's not a network issue? This happened to me a few days ago (using CM9) but it was my carrier's fault. Everything back to normal a few hours later. Do you have another phone from the same carrier that you can check the signal?
I have the same problem too. I'm not sure if its the network problem or ICS. I'm running OCS official 4.0.4 Austrian version. The problem I'm facing is that the ping time has increased significantly. When I was on HC, it was around 65ms for 3g network. Now, the ping time is increased to 250+ms.. because of this, some of the apps are not working.
Has this happened to anyone else?
The problem started around 2-3 days after I flashed ICS.
If someone has a solution/understands this, pls help me out. I spoke to my network provider, their answer is that, they cannot guarantee about the download time. I kept insisting that its not the DL speed, its the ping time. But the fools couldn't understand my problem.n
I'll be surfing the web on my phone with LTE, but suddenly the past few days I've had an issue where it'd switch to HSPA+ and I can't connect. I'll have 2-4 bars of H+ yet I can't surf the web. if I turn airplane mode on and off, I'll get LTE again for a minute or so.
I have no issues making phone calls or texts, just surfing the web. My APN settings are correct for my carrier, and I just experienced this only the day before yesterday.
If it helps, I'm running CyanogenMod 11, everything else is stock such as the bootloader, radio, kernel. I'm not sure if it's a nightly rom issue, or what. LTE is strong in this area and i get 3-4 bars at all times. I didn't post this in the CM11 thread since I wasn't sure if it was rom related or not.
If you restart your phone does it work again? I had this issue running early ROMs sometimes.

If I restart the phone, I'll be able to use the phone for maybe half an hour or so, and suddenly it'll switch to HSPA+ and sit there trying to forever load a webpage. Eventually it'll tell me I'm not connected. If I refresh Google Now or any internet connected app, it'll tell me the same. 15 minutes later or so, LTE comes back on it's own, and randomly decides to go back to HSPA+.
I am going out on a limb to say it's a cm deal. Try a different ROM and flash the latest radio.

I'll hold out for a few days. If I didn't have issues a few nightlies ago, I'm sure it's a new bug they'll fix soon. Thanks for your help though! I do have the latest radio also, didn't meant to infer that I had the .17 modem from launch day.
