This fixes data dropouts - Verizon Droid Charge

Rather than bump up my old thread - first read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317575
Went 3 days without dropping data.
1. Root, 2. set to R/W 3. make a folder under /mnt called "radio" (all lower case, no spaces, no quotes, etc).
Gotta leave it as R/W... but it seems to be working.

If this works I'm going to hump you til you love me

Just in case that's too long, I'm running pbj time rooted ee4. Forgot to mention I have my modem set to 3g only, but it looks like most people were turning off lte while troubleshooting data dropouts anyway. I'm going to try 4g at the office next week where I know I get a good signal.

Does it have a file called 3g_traffic in it?

If you'd read the original post (the one I said read) you'd see what ROM I was using and under what conditions this worked

Yes it has both files in it 3G and LTE.
I am running GBE. Maybe that's VZW fix for data drop issue. I'm still droppin dats tho. Thanks for trying to help.

What about the read/write thing? I tried that when I noticed I was getting the errors in the error log. What's your log looking like? Any errors? I'm almost willing to try flashing a GB rom and checking it out. But I start stock and work my way up.

So far it's working for me. I normally get 4g for a minute or two before it switches to 3g/1x or dies. I toggled airplane mode and Now it's been on 4g and hasn't gone to 3g/1x since.
EDIT: It switches to 3g every now and then but thats alright.

I flashed EE4 radios on EP3 rooted and have a much more stable signal. Rarely drops out.
Edit: no sooner than posting this I drop data. I have that folder though.

Nevermind re read and its not what I thought

I get many data dropouts daily running EP3HA debloated.
Went to check that I have the /mnt/radio folder, it's there, both LTE and 3G log files are in there, and Root Explorer tells me that the content is already set to R/W.
Still waiting on Samsung for a solution I guess..

GC FE 2.0 with PBJT kernel and ep3 modems. The radio folder was missing for me... will report back on any changes
Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk

Did not notice any change from adding this folder. Also, the folder would be gone after each time I restarted the phone.
Not long after (unsure if there is a correlation, doubt it) EP3 modems started dropping data excessively. Re-ODINed the modems and all is well now.

0 dBm but still connected to 3G

So lately I've been having this problem where all of a sudden I won't be able to send text messages, so I was trying to troubleshoot and I noticed that when that is happening the 3G icon is still present but status shows 0 dBm and that I'm still connected to CDMA rev A but nothing works, not even internet I literally have to restart my phone to get it to work properly again.
Anybody got ne ideas?

also, what are you running on your phone. more details will be helpful. If you are running a custom kernel / rom try a different kernel.
I've done the prl update.

Will do I wonder why undervolting would effect the radio.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I would imagine that undervolting the processor could affect any part of the phone, including signal searching. You also might want to just try a different kernel. I have had good results with peanut butter and others. I know people were having trouble with OTB 1.6 in that particular release.
Also, you might try adjusting settings as perscribed in this thread, though I don't know much about the hidden menu:

I had an opposite issue from you last week (was stuck roaming and could not get onto cellular south towers). I fixed it following steps from dfgas.
Since you have h57 rom, you can try the following:
menu->tsm parts-> hidden menu ->data debug -> hdr/1x selection (if it asks for a code at any point, it's '000000').
Toggle the setting. For me toggling cdma/hybrid got me off of roaming when i was stuck. After the fact, I noticed setting it to evdo only would put me on roaming (I do this at work to get 3g, since Csouth doesn't have 3g at my plant)
Hope this helps.

Wireless tether 3.1

I use the wireless tether 3.1 and after a couple minutes i get booted off. My settings are fascinate on first drop down which is what everyone said it should be and the second dropdown i had it set on master and auto but neither seem to help. Any ideas or solutions. I thought about trying opengarden but its a adhoc only, but if you dont get booted on it maybe thats a solution.

Restart your phone? 420, hell yeahhh. If that doesnt work, id use history cleaner and wipe your cache. Or boot into recovery, if THAT doesnt work. Id do a wipe.

You prolly just have to uninstall the old version of WT
No Dice. I tried all suggested solutions. Plus I tried other older versions of it and got the same message. I would think someone has figured this out. If someone has working wifi tether please package and pm me.

Open garden is adhoc only. Certain devices wont run on that. I need to be able to set up an infrastructure. V3.1 offers that but is not reliable. There are other ones too but my phone says that there is not enough space. The wierd part is that i have way plenty of space. Thats where im at now.

I have 3.1 working fine on the ep1f leak. Here are my settings. Profile Fascinate, Method Softap for samsung. changed the channel to 4 or 5 your choice really. If there is a wireless router nearby on channel 1(which most are factory set at) you will get interference. Also try this I had to do it on my wife's phone. Uninstall wt reboot then reintall. Let the phone get completely up(media scanning and everything). Then try and run wt again. I've gotten 3.1 to work on a bunch of phones. Hoope that helps.
Hey man, sorry to hear nothings worked out... Sad to say but why dont you try to mount your SD card, make a new folder on your desktop and back up everything on your SD. Go under my computer, right click the disk and format it. Do an odin restore to ED1, keep it stock. Let it update to EE4, then flash an EE4 Odin rom that gives you root, such as this one. http://www.androphiles.com/files/android/EE4deodx_DXC.tar.rar then your kernel and rom. I mean, I know you probably dont want to hear this kind of answer but if nothing else has worked then this might be your only option. As for getting infastructure working, I saw a thread on it. Ill post it once I find it. PM if it worked.
Edit: I link that I found says to download the newest tether, which obviously you are having problems with... So give it a try again after you do a full wipe.

Using Infused 2.2.3 and now my phone is not indicating its roaming when it should be.

Hello,
I am a Canadian Rogers customer and I just flashed my Infuse while in West Memphis.
Infused works great, but now it does not indicate that I'm roaming when I am. (If I go back to the stock ROM it shows I am roaming)
It would be fine except that it keeps data on while in the US and that will get very expensive.
Anyone know how I can fix this without going back to stock ROM?
Thanks!

Wifi error: help please!!!!

I was reading through the forums today and read that if you live in a non 4g area, (which I do, there is no 4g in any direction of me within 30 minutes) that you should toggle your system settings from LTE/cdma to cdma... though I have noticed a difference in longevity of my battery, my wifi doesn't work...? It simply says error next to wifi in settings.. lol. Any help/suggestions would be awesome! I'm assuming wifi works off the same radio as the lye and that's my problem???

What ROM/kernel combination are you running? An FP1 ROM with an EP4 kernel, or vice versa, will cause that exact problem.
EDIT: To be clear, Wifi and LTE are completely, 100% unrelated. You'll get the wifi error on a mixed rom/kernel regardless of radio settings.

Yeah I don't think they want to keep this phone going. They want us to buy new ones. I'm going to have to wait for income tax refund time. That's OK, I really like my phone with Tweaked on it.
The thing I think is funny is the iPhone commercials keep bragging about stuff my poor old Charge already has.
WOW!! I leave the droid charge community for a few months and this is what happens??? Simply incredible. As I have relegated my charge to WIFI only duty this is nearly perfect. The only issue is that it never actually boots. The boot animation just keeps on going and going and going. Does the file system need to be converted to EXT4 before flashing? I'm using the latest 0302 recovery too. Thanks in advance!
Nevermind. Got it up and running. Seems like the recovery updated itself somehow (shrug) and flashed it using the brand new CWM looking recovery and it's working. Can't wait to play around with this later.
Excuse me while I change my shorts.

Just wondering (I'm not a developer or anything), but to get DATA working couldn't we throw in the Factory Test.apk? I was looking at what was running, and it always is. Then I looked at what it is and it all has to do with the RIL.
I am actually looking into trying this build! I usually have Wi-Fi wherever I go so DATA isn't too big of a problem. If it does ever get fixed I believe this would be the Charge's lifesaver.
Any news on the issue that people are having getting it to install?

FactoryTest is in this build, it is required for secPhone.apk to work. I'm not actually sure if it helps or not but its in there. I'm not sure on the boot issues, after installing I would just make sure to wipe data and it should be fine.

So people have gotten this to install?
Is it easy to switch back to Tweaked after installing this?

Check my edit. It installed just fine. Still not optimized, but it's a VERY functional build.
