Hi,
To be clear: Internet is not the app, not over Wifi but over 4G/3G/H etc..
I got my sensation 3 days now and there seems to be a issue with the internet connection.
Mine keeps requesting data but it doesnt get any data back.
Apps like internet browser sometimes work and sometimes they dont (loading google), the weather app says there is no internet connection and manage to sometimes get the actual weather.
I tried restarting it serval times but no success..
Internet does work on my HTC Hero.
Edit:
Found the problem, had to enable data roaming..
Odd thing that it works sometimes without roaming tho..
4G internet issues
I am having the same problem with my internet, though enabling data roaming did not correct my problem. Internet and web based apps work fine over WIFI, but will randomly work over 4G. Is anyone else having a similar issue?

I get a severe lag now and then when connected to 4G - seems to take a while for the connection to initiate. I've tried the "fix" posted in another thread, but that only seemed to resolve the issue temporarily.
It seems like location may have something to do with it as well. The tower closest to my home is where I experience the most issues. Though my G2X or my fiance's vibrant work without any issues.

That could contribute to my issue. I seem to live near a cell dead zone.
Theres a few threads open on this issue. There doesnt seem to be a permanent fix yet, but it is extremely annoying.
Same here, my connection would send data but winter recieve sometimes. Kinda annoying. Hopefully, htc addresses this problem soon.

Same issue - across multiple handsets
Hi, it's been a while since I posted in XDA but this issue has been a regular one with my T-mobile service, across multiple devices. I have searched far and wide for anyone else seeing this exact problem, and finally here you are. I hope this helps other users:
1) Purchased the original myTouch 3G; approx 1 year with zero connectivity issues. Loved it, exceptional for its time.
2) Purchased (upgrade) myTouch 3G Slide at launch. Following 3-5 months saw This issue with outgoing data, but no incoming response. 60/40 the internet would respond or not in any application (web, streaming, podcasts), it was a real crapshoot. Assumed the problem was isolated and performed a few master resets. Zero apps installed and continued to see the same issue. Decided it was either software or radio related and called T-mo for advice. They suggested a replacement unit after standard troubleshooting (re-seat SIM, master reset, check that you have substantial signal).
3) New MT3G Slide, same outcome. Called back. Finally received a reasonable suggestion: get a new (free) SIM from T-mo as the one I currently had was slightly older. Was sure this was the issue as the rep sounded very confident when I explained the situation. Received new SIM!
4) No change, issue persisted. Following day called T-mo and had a 'ticket' escalated to engineering dept. Was assured I would receive a call from eng. dept, but no such luck. Bothered by this whole mess and lacking in answers from T-mo, I sold the Slide and upgraded to the G2X.
5) The issue once again reared its head! If the stars were aligned and I did get In/Out data, it was 11KB/s (90kbps) tops. Ex: 5MB podcast would take 0.5-1.5 min (30-90 sec) to download prior to issue, now 10-15 min. This was with no apps installed, 4 bars of signal, 4G status icon, across multiple geographical locations, and fingers on both hands crossed. It was about this time I suspected that somehow T-mo's network was throttling my account. But, I had never used more than 1GB in a month, and they assured me I was not being throttled. A serious WTF was had
6) Realizing there were bigger problems in the world and finally at wit's end, I returned the G2X and am waiting patiently for my contract to expire in July, while using an old Nokia candybar in the meantime for calls and text only.
7) July: move to new carrier or stay with T-mo (if we can figure out what this issue is). 8 year customer, need internet on a smartphone though.

I am having the same issue, and have gone through the same steps. New Sensation (exchnaged mine twice now) followed by new SIM, tried the *fix* posted, turned on data roaming, and still nothing. I have talked to Tmo several times, and they are supposed to be checking the towers in my area, an engineer is supposed to contact me in up to 72 hours. The Evo 3D comes out before my 14 day return period, so I may just jump ship if this problem persists. Hoping to find a fix though, as this phone is amazing when it's on Wifi
So I recently "upgraded" from a Nexus One to a Sensation, I've bought the Canadian version from Bell. Anyways, it seems that all text messages I receive are -4 of the current time I am in. I remember having this issue in the Windows Mobile days and it was fixed by a cab.
However, I am led to believe that this is an issue with the whole "Bell OS" that the carrier has put on the phone. Using a Bell SIM card all times appear normally, but using a Rogers card it gets all messed up.
Is there a way to fix this without root?
Do u have your date, time set to auto?
I've tried disabling that, and restarting and still nothing.
I'm pretty sure this is a common Rogers problem and is not Sensation specific. I've seen this on the Desire Z forum too. I think there's an app on the market called SMS Time Fix or something like that to fix the problem. I think some apps like Handcent also have a built in timeshift option as well, which would fix this problem.
Yeah had the same issue with my Desire before root. SMS time fix works great.
G
Weird how it doesn't effect my Nexus One. I have checked out the app in the market, and it seems like kind of a cheat for a fix. But what the hell, I'll take it for now. Until we get S-Off and flashing, I guess it's my only option.
Any other Sensation Rogers users getting this?
All my friends and I using Rogers have this problem :=/
Have no idea what the North American telephone vendors are doing. They suck :=D
I've been doing some Googling for a while, and I mean a while, and I have come across dozens of threads discussing this (whoops).
Anyways it seems that on Bells network, they send you the timecode in GMT, making the phone fix it. Whereas Rogers ends you the timecode in your time zone. In this case, the Bell phone is still thinking the time is GMT so it "fixes" the time again thus causing GMT-4x2 and causing said offset.
After fiddling around with the time and time zone for a good while this is my new conclusion.
- The actual time the phone is set to, makes no difference. I set my phone to be 1AM and I still got the timecode as 5:11 (when the current time is 9:11).
- However when I changed the timezone to GMT -5, the timecode appeared as 4:11.
So whatever the time is in the time zone the phone is set to -4.
Had the same problem with my new and unlocked Bell Samsung Galaxy Gio on Rogers network and nothing helped.
Here's how I fixed it:
in Date and Time, I disabled the automatic time setting and then selected my time zone to GMT +0.0 (Greenwich Meantime) and then manually adjusted my local time in Toronto and voila!
Hope this works for you guys too.
hey I use a bell sensation on rogers to.... one day it just fixed itself
on a side note, I S-off and switched to Revolution 2 days ago and the phone is a million times better all that bell bloatware gone!
I had trouble finding information on this variant of Droid, so I thought I'd share my own findings now that I have it working the way I wanted.
I ordered a brand new, Verizon Wireless locked version of this phone off eBay. I'm in Canada, so I was unable to activate the phone as it requests after the "touch the droid" screen. The nearest Verizon tower is very far away.
I found out (maybe this is common knowledge about Android phones, my searches were probably too specific) that I could bypass that activation by touching each corner of the screen.
I used SuperOneClick to root the phone, which went completely painlessly; seems like a great tool. This isn't a necessary step to unlock it, I just wanted it rooted.
I gave $30 USD and my phone's IMEI to CellUnlocker, and they got a working unlock code to me in 2 days. Some people have had problems unlocking the phone, but it worked immediately for me, maybe it's luck.
I haven't tried a brand unlock, since I don't plan on using my phone in the states soon!
I followed these instructions to improve my signal strength, but I haven't thoroughly tested it.
I am now using the phone without a hitch on Telus' network, data included. I had to set up an APN for them, with information from here.
I applied a fix mentioned by Kositch here to prevent Google Maps from crashing my phone. The min free KBytes setting was 2845 by default, as reported by the sysctl config *root* tool. It seems to have worked.
Unfortunately my battery doesnt last more than a day with moderate use. I've setup setcpu to underclock the processor based on battery life in hopes that it helps. It's hard to tell if it does or not without any kind of benchmarking. Based on the built-in battery usage app, I would say it probably does not affect my battery life much to underclock the phone, it is mostly the display that drains it.
One bug I have had is that my Internet connection will stop working after the phone has been out of use for some time or in airplane mode. A restart of the phone seems to solve this every time, though I'd rather not have to do that.
I am having a nasty bug when using my D2G on Telus - every time I dial out, immediately call drops and then reconnects in background. Very annoying and prevents you from dialing conference bridges automatically. I have tried with both normal sim that came with my Telus milestone at the time as well as a fresh new microsim and experienced this in both cases. On Fido and Rogers it is fine. Haven't tested on Bell as I don't have active account with them.

My phone does the same, but it does not cause me problems as I only make ordinary calls. It's certainly a bit weird.

Hi all, woke up this morning to find some strange network errors when using the mobile data network (AT&T).
Error: 502 Bad Gateway on certain sites and apps.
Not working: ESPN, XDA, Speedtest.net, Yahoo, Gamefly, Crackle, Pandora, TuneIn Radio Pro, Flixster.
Working: All google sites and apps, Netflix, Soundhound, Kindle, Nook, Groupon, Urbanspoon, Amazon Appstore, Comixology, Draw Something, Flipboard, Instagram, WhatsApp, Skype, Zinio.
Have not tested all on Wifi, but ESPN and XDA did work at home this morning.
So, can anyone test any of these sites and report back? I wonder if it is a local ATT network thing or something more widespread. I doubt it's a problem with the websites.
The only thing I did this morning was flash V2 of Scott's extended quick settings. On the off chance that caused the error, I flashed back CleanRom 2.1, but the errors remained. Every site was working perfectly yesterday.
Thanks
I have the same problems, my data doesn't work at times and wifi drops like crazy, this is annoying
I only created an account here because no one else on any site is reporting this problem.
The same exact thing is happening to me this morning also. This is very annoying. I did nothing out of the ordinary last night. Last thing I did was check ebay then stop most of the non important apps still running before I went to bed. I awoke this morning, checked my email and went to work. I went to check ebay this morning and the 502 bad gateway appeared. I then went to check my hockey schedule to see the time of my next game. Same 502 error. I went to reload a page I had saved in Safari. Same 502 error. I just did a bunch of searching for this 502 error & AT&T & IPhone or ANYTHING. THIS IS THE FIRST SITE I HAVE FOUND THAT ANYONE ELSE EVEN MENTIONED THIS PROBLEM.
I have a VERY HARD TIME believing that we are the only 3 on the PLANET who are experiencing this. But somehow, NO ONE ELSE IS ASKING THE QUESTIONS. Once I saw that you Artoods had the same problems, I checked the sites you said were working. That appears to be so. My Google, Netflix & drawsomething are working fine. (My Urbanspoon does not appear to be working though, the circle just keeps spinning) So not sure what is happening, but you are not the only one.
Hrm usually means a poor connection. Have you guys tried driving a few miles and try using a different cell tower? It could help you find out if it's just that tower then you would have something to tell your provider.

I am at the workplace, so I cannot for another few hours at least.
Just tested ESPN.com on a co-workers iPhone. Took forever and a half to load, but no 502 error (tried on my phone 5 feet away and still no-go). Will try some others.
In any case, I am going to pass by an ATT store on my break and ask around if the problem persists.

Ok, everything appears to be working for me again. I just went to lunch (about 20 minutes long), when I left for lunch and while waiting for it, these things were still not working. But as I was sitting at my desk eating, I tried again and everything worked. I just checked probably less than 5 minutes ago, so this is all still fresh.
Everyone should check their phone again now. I am not sure why this happened, but for me at least, it appears to be working again. I'll update if anything changes. Thanks to Artoods for first reporting this problem and others for confirming that I wasn't the only one.

Actually no. I am 15 minutes north of Philadelphia, Pa. There is a tower in a town called Willow Grove, maybe a 5 minute drive from here. To my knowledge, that is the closest cell tower.
Network issues but different
For the sake of not starting a new thread, and I have searched for my issue with no resolve here. I am having a slightly different issue but still a strange network problem. I work in an office that carries no cell signal whatsoever , and when I walk outside my phone will indicate that it has obtained signal, 3bars - full service with 4g coverage. However when I attempt to dial a call the phone sits at dialing until it time out like there is no service, no matter how long I wait with it showing signal it continues to do this. The only solution I have is to put the phone in airplane mode wait about 5 minutes and then turn it off. Once it reacquires signal all is good.
Any one else having this issue
Update- Working for me now too. Funny enough, I had to go to the ATT store to handle some account stuff, and when I mention to the staff member the little issue I was having in the morning, my test page loads up perfectly fine .
Still find it very odd that the error was selective about which websites were accessible.

I used to have a similar issue with my old iPhone 4, although I did receive some signal in my office (31st floor). If I went up or down once connection was lost, I could only regain by cycling the airplane mode or mobile data. I'd chalk this up to loss of signal causing temporary radio craziness. Luckily no such issues have plagued my One X so far.

Yeah I kinda figured, I just purchased on 17th and am coming from and Inspire 4g, rooted running ARHD 7.X.X. I never had the issue with that phone but it wasn't "4g" nor was it the same radio. I was just checking if someone had the same issue and had another solution. Maybe a new, Im still running 1.73....
Much thanks man.
The One S got a connectivity fix today, hopefully we'll receive one soon as well

Wow small world, Willow Grove is about 5 minutes from me too.
I wonder if constantly having LTE on is causing problems, maybe it gets stuck trying to acquire a signal
I think AT&T may have had internal network issues, I was having pretty severe connectivity problems on mobile data for a while on my Inspire today, cleared up by lunchtime though.
Had the same network errors this morning. I'm actually traveling in south Florida and it cleared up by around noonish today. Weird

I have had this problem and have spoke with tech support with no solutions as of right now. The time on my phone should ALWAYS be right......ALWAYS!
It is off (behind) by as little as 6 minutes...or as much as 20 minutes. I have never had this problem on any phone...ever....in my life. I am not rooted and have not done anything other than set-up my phone the way I like it. I have tried using network settings to set the date and time...and also leaving that box unchecked in the settings. The problem always returns, and stays for around 10-30 min...then it keeps good time again.
Tech support checked their network and the communication to my phone and some other software logs and said they can tell I have wifi issues and there is a update coming to fix that sometime in the next week, but everything else looked fine. I am tempted to return it and wait for the GalaxySIII. The local AT&T store said they wont be able to exchange it anytime soon...and that they aren't even sure when...if ever...they will have more in stock- due to the apple lawsuit and the injunction!
Has anyone else had this problem and fixed it?
Any idea's?
I don't want to root it cause I may return it.
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks
I had just noticed mine was off by 16 minutes. I powered down the phone, restarted, and it has been fine since. I'm assuming something on their network caused a bad sync. Hopefully it is the end of story.
I had Tech support on the phone yesterday and they said it was not their network. I have found a few others with this same problem too. Mine was off by 20 min and I had the -use network for time- unchecked! It was a phone issue separate from data. One guy on another forum said it was only when connected to wifi...with mobile data on- and the phone was sleeping for a long period of time would his time be off. I am going to test this theory out and leave my wifi off tonight, and mobile data on. I will post back with results in a day or two.
If this is the case...maybe it does get fixed with the OTA that comes out this week?...it supposed to fix the wifi issues, so maybe it fixes this too
If rooted just use Clocksync because AT&T is godawful at keeping good time on their towers.
If not, your only recourse is really to just uncheck and recheck the "use network time" setting.
I don't think you read the previous post's ?
