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.

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.

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.
Is the problem the hardware? Or can the software be tweaked? Just wanna know because as everyone knows it is horrible on this phone.

Helpful....
and really, 30 feet? that's not exactly far.....
Its not the router, it is the phone. Mine, though it will remember the networks I use, will NEVER reconnect to one when its in range. Signal strength is also an issue. All previous phones I've had have been able to get at least 2 bars of wifi signal at the other end of our house, but the Infuse just can't do it. Drops to the very least signal indicator on the display and will not pull any data.
I've had a bit better luck with Infused 1.6, but it may just be in my head as I don't think that it actually changes anything in the software for wifi over the stock ROM.
There are a LOT of posts about this and there doesn't seem to be an answer (at least that I have been able to find) to it or any work-arounds. This is really my only complaint with the phone, the wifi is absolute garbage. Some have said that its because the phone only does b/g and not N, so if you have N and you can set it to B or G that may be better.

Well from 30 feet away you should have full bars.
But at the op, I know what you mean about wifi signal. I learned though that even though it shows low bars, my speed was still good.
On the other hand, for some odd reason the miui rom made my wifi signal better. I went from about 16 mbs down to 23 down. Maybe a coincidence, I dunno.

I think it's mostly a hardware problem. The consensus among those who own the phone seems to be that wifi reception is average to poor.
I don't have the knowledge to be able to speak authoritatively, but I think software *can* have an impact.
With my particular Infuse, I have better reception with the new MIUI rom posted by Mikey than anything else I've tried (almost all of them). I get full reception - "excellent" - in locations where on any other rom I would have "fair" or "poor"...
I don't know if this makes sense but that is my experience.

While Strych is being rude (normal from his other posts) I have to agree that it might just be your situation.
My router is on the ground floor and I can use my wifi from the third floor in my house.
Then again I've used Wifi Analyzer (from the market) to test the channels and see what wans were overlapping mine and select one that was empty with good strength.
I also tend not to flash beta roms and then wonder why things aren't working as expected.
If you want help with your issue, you may want to post in the Q&A forum and describe what you're running, what problem you're having (specifically), and what you've done to test/fix the problem. Otherwise, if you're just ranting, I can understand that as well.
Hmm well a lot of helpful tips. I will be purchasing a brand new router. The one I have is just a basic Linksys. So ill upgrade the next level up. Idk I've never been able to get great reception. But on the flipside Ive always used a basic router.

What were you on before? AT&T Froyo or Rogers Gingerbread?
One of the problems with Rogers Gingerbread were crappy TCP buffer settings - CM7 had the "better" AT&T settings for a long time until it was updated to the new UCKI3/I4 settings. This would explain faster WiFi performance regardless of signal quality.
Signal quality has always been fine for me. Froyo has some annoying power management issues where the wifi chipset basically dies and needs to be disabled/reenabled to reconnect (This is actually common across many devices with the BCM4330 - happens a lot on the Tab 10.1 too, and in that case it's sometimes so bad that it hoses up the lockscreen.), Gingerbread seems to have fixed the wifi-death issues on our devices.

I am pretty sure this wifi problem is def not your router. I use wifi here at work and home while both receptions are TERRIBLE. I think its hardware related because I have still yet to find anyone with a fix.
thanks
I agree...both the thrill and my new phone have better reception and speeds than my infuse did.. same conditions/same router

I also have the same exact issue. I went thru 3 diff routers and no change. I also have an inspire and a iphone and they connect perfectly when mine cant. I live in a apartment and my router is in the same room. My wifes inspire works and mine dont. I know one of you are gonna say something like maybe you have too many things connected. Well that would be false. Both inspires had no problems but when i got my infuse it was just still 2 phones connected. Im calling samsung tomorrow to see what they have to say. I had alot of calls about the infuse and wifi problems also

Hey guys this is just a quick opinion question. Which modem for the Infuse do you guys like best? I'm having trouble picking the right one, so maybe you guys could help.
If you search the modem forum you'll see that the "best" modem is different for everyone, depending on your phone, your area, etc. Best thing to do is flash em, try em for a few days and see which one works for u. I actually have 6 different modems saved to my phone and flash a different one if I'm not getting great reception with the current one. Hope that helps!
KI3 I feel is best on my phone
The right Modem
thanks guys I have been having the same issue. I have downloaded all of them now on my phone so I think I will just continue to try different ones until one is the best. Question??? Wouldn't the latest version be the best? also, does installing and uninstalling "flashing" these phones cause damage to the drive?
thanks

Not necessarily. I got the 4 hours clock moving ahead bug in all KH and KJ2 onwards. Setting time manually is an option, but I prefer auto update of time. KI3 gave me proper balance between connectivity, speeds and battery usage.
Flashed the doctorz rom., I believe its ucki3, pulled 10.5 down... best yet out of all other modems (on different roms)

I would also like to know, does it affect wifi?
I am having 2 separate wifi problems on CM7 UCKJ4
1. At school, it works sometimes (maybe less than half the time), the rest of the time the wifi icon in the status bar is greyed out and doesnt work,
2. At home, it will not connect to wifi at all. When I go to wifi settings, it says "scanning.... connecting... disconnected" and repeats.
I dont about flashing my.modem roms.anymore. The last one i did.screwed up the time and i couldnt send out text messages. So far i really dont see much of a difference in connection speeds. I still think the newest modem flash for your os should be the best but i am still a noob at android system.

+1 KI3 has given me decent speeds and been reliable.
KJ2 gave me the best data speeds but MMS has the character sending limit and constantly switched between 3G and H+
I'm running Infused v2.2.3 and have been on KJ4 for several days now. I don't know if it's related but my battery life has greatly improved. Took auto time update off and don't mind the 160 character text issue if I've gained battery life.

I am also having problems with the wifi. The only way I get a good reception to it is if I have phone right next to the router. There has been many forums on here about the wifi...its def a hardware issue with the phone. At this time I dont think anyone has found a fix for it yet. The talk about updating your router is not true.
Does anyone know of a fully working Gingerbread baseband for Canada?
I'm nervous about flashing new baseband and being unable to get signal/data on my device.
Thanks
Good Morning,
A couple of us have been discussing this in some other threads.
What I have found after flashing the GB Baseband is that it takes several minutes to register on the network. Once registered, voice and data work for a few minutes, sometimes only a few moments. Followed by a complete signal loss, that usually returns to follow the same cycle; sometimes only returns after a reboot.
I have gone back to FROYO for the time being. I heard rumours that updates for the Rogers Optimus 3D and the LG Thrill are expected by the end of the year.
I am not sure if the current baseband could be modified; or if the baseband from another GB device could be used or modified for use on our devices.
Thank you!
- Audi.
thanks for the information! Its too bad it wont really work. Froyo it is for me too then.
Good Evening,
Just an update. I reinstalled the GB KDZ for fun and it seems to have worked this time.
I have no explanation as to why.
Thanks, Audi.
Hi my friend.
Thanks for info again. Can you please let me know how you flashed baseband and kdz gingerbread ? Maybe ill try it.

I followed the instructions found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287236
When I had issues and had to go back to Froyo I followed the same process to flash an early version then used the LG Updater to return to the stock Rogers rom.

When you use the method of flashing the GB KDZ file the baseband is included in the KDZ.

I don't know if it's because of this or because my 3G reception was already bad.. Will be sure tomorrow but since this update my phone is only catching edge and i've checked my APNs and they're ok so i don't know what it could be...

Good Morning,
When you run speedtest (available in the market) what are your results?
As I said earlier I am getting the same speeds I was on Froyo; so I have no complaints.
Once the GB update is released in this area we will see the full benefits of HSDPA+.
Thank you, Audi.
well, I did it! I got GB loaded and running well. Although, as you and others have said, I'm getting mixed connection results. Sometimes it says 3G, others H but usually its E. At least radio is always connected though.
Sucks for me because I notice big drop in internet speed. I will do that speed test when I can and let you know what happens.
Thanks
On Rogers here too. Hmm, I tried this and ended up with a boot loop. Still working on a way to fix it back up. The phone just plays the sound, displays the LG logo then restarts and repeats.
Whoops
EDIT: Nah I fixed it, I forgot to boot and wipe my old data/cache. BUT, no HPSA. Just E. My apn settings are correct so there almost surely is a baseband issue here.
EDIT2: Don't flash your phone on a retard day. I forgot to enter the password on my apn thing. BTW, King3D rom had all the rogers APN stuff already filled in. Its pretty nice! Cheers
OK, I've had a little more time to test this... And yeah, unfortunately, there are a few nasty issues with this base band. Signal quality is very strange, e-only in a lot of places. Stranger still, my wifi is broken and drops its connection after a second or so of usage. This is tested on both the stock gb and king 3d (which is really nice, btw).
Back to froyo ;(
Really sucks, it sounds like people will be getting ics by the time we Rogers customers get gb. And they are getting gb now that others are getting ics, LOL.

Good Morning!
I am sorry to hear about your network issues; I wish I had could tell you why mine works!?
I had not yet tested wifi; just tested it this morning and it is working.
Bluetooth works great too.
I wish I had the answers to help more!
- Audi.
I suspect it has to do with the towers around where you happen to be. Rogers in Saskatchewan is a bit strange, it might be that with the different baseband its only talking to certain towers. Thats a guess anyway. Can't think of what else it could be -- I live on the first floor of my apartment building, I get edge-only. I visit a friend on the fourth floor and its HPSA and fast as lightning. No idea about the wifi though.
Cheers!
hi guys,
Mine has actually improved lately. I no longer have issues with connection, maybe once a day for like a second or too, but then its fine.
I am getting 3G more often now and H at times as well. I am in the Toronto area so maybe thats why? More towers?
Anyways, I found that I had to manually enter my APN settings to get it to work.
Bluetooth and Wifi work perfectly for me too. Although my battery life sucks big time for some reason. I think, when the screen is on, it drains like 1% every 3 minutes even when idle!
Thats brutal! There must be some blood sucking LG apps that are eating my phone for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
I guess I have to do some digging to get this GB running super sweet!
I just recently completed a move from Vegas to Phoenix. Upon arriving i saw that my mobile network just constantly bounced from edge to none to 4g to 3g and nothing ever above 2 bars. no matter where i go, thats the way it is. even when other people with TMO are right next to me and have perfect service. i finally bit the bullet and went into the tmo store and basically the guy told me that i had to get a new phone. My current rom is paranoid android but it does the same on AOSP MIUI and sense 4 viper rom. havent tried any others because i figure i have most of my bases covered there. ive flashed every combination of radio and RIL possible and it does the same thing. when i went in, they gave me a new sim card because they said my sim card was "2G" but seemed to pick up 4g just fine in vegas with 0 issues.
did my phone just really magically break while driving i guess?
another note: it seems worst when sending text messages, like ill recieve one with 2 bars of 3g, type it out, hit send, right after i hit send it just drops the service and says message cannot be delivered. i just have to keep getting it sent back and send it again until it finally goes through. this issue is very very frustrating. thanks for any help you guys can give me, i do want to get a new phone but need this one to work until i can afford it. oh yeah, newest firmware if that matters but i hadnt even updated it before i got out here, it was just one of things i tried to fix it. NOTHING has worked or even helped a little bit.
You and I live in different ends of the US but we seem to have the same issue. My wife has a Sensation also and has good signal most places when I can be right beside her and have no signal, just like right now, I will be lucky to get this to send. I too have tried several radios and RIL's also. I got some advice from mf2112 a short while back. I am just now going to look into it further. Check the pins that make connection to the back cover and make sure they all are making good connection. I am checking mine as soon as I get home, I am sick of not having signal when I know I should.

I just checked my connections and even lightly cleaned the dust off of them to see if maybe that was the issue. actually seems like it helped a little but not enough to solve the issue. it was definitely worth a shot though. might be placebo effect tho...

are you talking about flashing the actual RUU that says "mod edit: do not flash" or are you talking about the 3.33 firmware from europe? i flashed this firmware and it didnt help my issues. im wondering if i shouldnt try to go back to 100% stock or something this is very frustrating. the guy at the store told me "you know, when you flash things over and over sometimes stuff just breaks" which doesnt make any sense to me. every phone ive ever had i could flash as i please. and i wasnt even heavily flashing anything on this one until i started having this issue.
I have done exactly what the poster has done.
I have done everything... here's what I know
The issue is only from cm9 and aokp.. try flashog hyper nonsense and you shouldn't have issues.. problem is u lose all the aokp settings
It seems.like the issues flux in out.. one day it will work.. one day it wont.. sometimes I.wonder if the tower you are connected to.makes a difference
No,.it.doesn't break from.flashing it.over and over.. the storage is flash so it doesn't have a limit
