I installed WM Longlife and I didn't like the popups that came everytime I opened an application that wanted to connect to the internet; so I uninstalled it. Then I noticed that my TP2 will no longer connect to 3G automatically even when I was in several different 3G zones. I installed Longlife again and used their switcher to connect to 3G and it worked. I tried tweaking the settings back to normal and then uninstalling it again, but the same problem with automatic connection occurred again. As we speak, my phone is sitting in a 3G network but is connected to EDGE.
Any thoughts?
Man, I have the same problem! Im using a Touch Pro, but same bad!
check to see if 3G is disabled. You could be locked on to just GSM instead of of GSM/WCDMA.
Settings>Phone>Band & make sure they're both set to Auto
You all crack me up
Hard reset time
I have the same issue. My phone doesnt connect to 3G ever...ive seen the icon change from Edge to 3G but very fast...it doesnt stay on. hmmm I hope tmobile or someone here finds a fix for it..i feel like im missing out using Edge..
If the advice posted by xnifex doesn.t work here is what you could do (other than hard reset ), reinstall wmlonglife, soft reset, wait the app to load, than chose from ,,band switcher,, 3g auto, wait till you see the taskbar icons change to 3g. Now you can uninstall the app (used to happen to me too)
Hi guys, I am not sure if anyone else has experienced this before, I have done a bit of searching.
If I connect my data connection (APN) at night it will work fine, if I disconnect it, go to bed, then wake in the morning and try to reconnect the APN , it will fail. The only solution is to turn on airplane mode, then disable it, then reconnect my data (APN).
I have updated to the latest (leaked) radio, hoping that this might have fixed the problem, but its still happening. It's been happening ever since I bought the phone, on stock ROM, and on every other ROM I have tried (2.1 and 2.2).
Has anyone else seen this? Is it related to my carrier (Optus)?
It just seems that it wont reconnect if it hasnt been used for 6+ hours...
Please Help
Does anyone else turn off their data connection at night? Does it re-connect if you do?

I am with tpg (optus network) and have the same problem as you have. Airplane mode seems to reset it. I tried playing with the apn settings but then l lost connectivity. Hmm, can't explain it.

Thanks for the reply, it's finally good to find out that it's not just me. Maybe someone else out there would be kind enough to test it on a different carrier, either in AUS or elsewhere, just to find out of it is an Optus issue, because I have never heard anyone else mention it before.
Please, can someone do this test??? That would be totally cool.
Hi again,
I rooted using unrEVOked 3.1 and am now running the ROM listed below in my signature on an A8183 (Telstra) model desire.
Since I turn the data off and on as I need it and since the ROM flash, haven't had a problem. So I don't know if it was OPTUS or the TELSTRA standard HTC ROM. Next time I use my Telstra SIM, I will test and tet you know.
Cheers

Thanks mate, just to let you know I have tried a few roms and had no luck, until now. I think it was actually the latest radio (32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08) update that has fixed it. Seems to be fine now.
I'm getting this same issue on mine, Telstra Desire on Optus. Maybe I should simply root it and be done with it? Only thing stopping me I'm worried I'll have radio issues after. Does 850 UMTS still work fine once you get rid of the Telstra rom? I'm on Optus now but have a Telstra sim for when I'm out in the middle of nowhere.

Gave in and installed the new radio and pays. That stupid Optus issue is gone as well now, connects properly as soon as wifi is gone. No problems with 850 Telstra either.
HI
Im useing the acer liquid e and the same thing happens to me. wont connect after disconnecting it. the problem has actually advanced now it doesnt even show up when i turn it on. one thing worked for me im not sure about any other android phone. But i went to settings -wireless & networks -Mobile networks - Access Point Names and click reset to default option worked fine after this process. apn works fine even after dis and reconnecting to data connection I hope this helps you guys
A good friend of mine waited to receive the OTA update of Froyo for his Incredible and when he got it he installed it. The bad part that I need help with is that when his phone rebooted it wouldn't allow the 3G data network to work. That section in settings is greyed out saying "Turning on..." and will not connect. The phone portion runs just fine. I have since returned the phone back to 2.1 and the same problem persists. If someone could help us out that would be awesome!!!
This probably wasn't posted in the right section...
I had an issue with 3G not connecting after downloading the froyo OTA off the internet and applying it as an update.zip.
I'm not sure if this is the same thing, but mine seemed to be that it wouldn't switch from the wifi network to the 3G network after getting out of range of the wifi (its set to auto connect to my home wifi, so it went straight to that after I rebooted it after the update). Then it wouldn't connect with the wifi off. I think I turned off both wifi and 3G and rebooted it with them off, and then turned back on 3G, and it worked. Everything is working normally now.
I'm not really sure why this would happen, I was wondering if it possibly had something to do with the phone registering itself after the update, and then not registering the 3G because it was on wifi and sort of "forgot?" That's just idle speculation though...
Also you might want to clear out your cache.
This might not be related to your problem, but I hope it helps!

Thanks for your effort, it did not work unfortunately.
Did he happen to have anything that controls 3G installed? Tasker? Juicedefender?
If he powered off while the data we disabled, and updated, then 3G won't work. Period.
I've heard of ways of restoring the APN or something, search the forums on that.

He did not have any type of app like that. He is a very novice user. I tried searching for restoring APN with no luck, anyone else?
When I first flashed Virtuous2.0 and did the initial setup, I didn't get 3G either. I'm pretty sure a good old fashioned *228 did the trick. I did have a backup through APN Backup & Restore, but didn't need to use it.
Have you tried turning on the airport mode, rebooting, turning off airport mode. Or perhaps do a *228?

Tried this too and no luck.
Go to Verizon and tell them to fix it fix fix it fix it! If he's running stock its nothing he did. Sounds super bunk that they finally got froyo only to not be able to use 3g.
The loss of 3g data is a bug with the froyo builds. All the froyo roms and the official ota have this issue.
sent from my Droid Incredible using XDA app.
this just happened to my friend too. I updated his phone last week with the OTA and since then he hasn't had 3g, but wifi would work.
did a rom manager backup before hand though, so i told him to revert back, and everything is working again. not sure why flashing back didn't work for you
So he hasn't had 3g at all? He can make calls and a *228 option # 1 doesn't update his settings and reboot? Maybe something when wrong on the install, whats hboot say?
Assuming he's completely stock I'd suggest going to the Verizon store and having them try.
It seems random when the data connection works and the internet works on my phone. I'll sit there with full 3G signal and i get "cannot find the DNS Server" error when trying to load webpages :S
is this a problem with my Samsung Omnia 7, Windows Phone 7 or my network (Orange UK)?
I have this problem on my HD7 as well. If I have a 3G connection, it doesn't work. It only works on H (HSDPA).
Funnily enough, I had the same issue with my HD2 running WM6.5, which makes me wonder if WP7 is using the same comms drivers.
I have this problem too! A LOT everyday in diferent locations.
Actually how can I enable the HSDPA on my HD7? Because I can only get 3G.
These are just network errors.
I use internet alot and it happens on every device I had.
My WP7 is actually pretty stable in this regard.
Same! Never works on 3g only ever H you sure its just network errors cause it happens alot
YES this is a major problem for me with my Omnia 7, I even got a replacement phone from my carrier (Optus Australia) because of it... and it's exactly the same. It's extremely frustrating and makes the phone damn near unusable. Happens on every device? what a load of rubbish, if I put the SIM in my old iPhone 3GS it works FLAWLESSLY. I don't know what I'm going to do.

Can you explain then, how come a reboot always fixes the problem?

Yep, I have the same problem with my Omnia 7.
On all 3 of the networks i've used it on, T-Mobile, Virgin and GiffGaff.
Only solution is to reboot the phone.
I thing i've noticed, is it seems to happen when I move from an area where I have WiFi access (Home/Work/Cafe) to an area where i'm using a Phone network ?
I think we can only hope that the upcoming WP7 update fixes this. Also it seems enabling airplane mode then disabling it also fixes it in a similar way to rebooting the phone.

Im having the same issue with my HD7. Only EVER works on H. Not on G or 3G. It's driving me insane. The exact same sim on the same provider never had an issue on my Touch Pro 2, but this phone is shocking for internet
I get this occasionally on my HD7. Not really an issue right now. It does get annoying sometimes when the wifi in my house isnt strong enough to connect

You do realize that phones switch to H only while they are actively swapping data, then fall back to 3G while dormant, to save battery?
Try it - leave your phone alone for a bit and it will switch from H to 3G. Now access something on the net and it will switch to H (if possible) to get the data, then after a few seconds of inaction it will switch back to 3G.
So yes, it is correct that it only ever works on H!
Mind you, it would be nice if it worked on G too, I'm sure it should but mine never does.
hm i thought the " H " means that i dont get 3G signal.
but i think i had the same problem!
solution:
you only need to turn OFF WIFI
somehow its not using 3G when wifi networks are close,
even if you not connected to one.
turn OFF wifi or maybe only "discover new networks"
turning OFF wifi always brings me 3G back ...
Just to add my experience here...
I have a Samsung Omnia 7 and had never experienced any issues with 3G/H data/internet issues on the 3 network in the UK.
However, I've come over to Australia to visit the folks and have put in a Virgin SIM, now I really struggle with this. The connection just isn't working even with full 3G signal.
As pointed out, toggling my Airplane Mode works most of the time - I guess this is because the phone re-registers itself with the network when you enable>disable airplane mode (just like it would if you rebooted it). Curiously toggling the data connection option seems to have no effect.
Pain in the a*se.
I had connectivity issues with my Samsung Omnia 7. I worked out that my phone was not playing nice with my router and so my wifi connected but didn't actually work.
Also, I found that 3G performance was sub-par and many apps timed out because they were taking so long to get connection.
I solved these problems by flashing a new firmware. It was a little tricky and it is potentially risky, but a quick google will lead you to the relevant information.
I used a European firmware (I am in Australia on Optus), but it works fine. I just had to change all the language settings.
Now my phone's 3G and WiFi connections both work a lot faster (no more waiting for an eternity for the marketplace to open for example).
I have the same problem and read on create.msdn.com it has something to do with how wp7 handles the connections.
If the provider cuts off the connection frequently it loses its 3g signal or something like that. Thats why my push notifications are just unreliable. If I take my sim out and use wifi only. It just works and keeps working as soon as I connect to wifi. When 3g comes into play and the carrier cuts me off because im not actively using, the phone struggles to recconect for push etc.
Edit:Re-reading Im thinking the topic name might be a bit unclear, when i said mobile network i meant mobile internet.
Hi there, I was wondering if anyone could help. My wifi works fine but i cant connect to mobile internet at all.
I have had my phone for quite a while now but havnt really had any need to use the internet while im out and about and have relied on wifi so I cant be sure if my mobile internet actually ever worked or not but when i try to connect i get the messages: turning on..connected...connection failed or the connection just vanishes instantly.
A bit about my phone:
Running RCMixHD 2.0
S-off and rooted
current baseband:32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 but have tried the latest radio with no change.
Network: Orange UK
I have spoken to orange and have set the APN to their recommended settings.
At a loss as to what to try next? any help really appreciated
Paul
Tried a few more radios still with no success...really no idea what else to try here guys, any ideas?
It could be the rom. I've it before where I've had the same radio and tried different roms. Some work, some don't. You could just reflash the rom you have without wiping anything.
I rung Orange when I lost my actual network signal and I had to ring them about 10 times just for someone to say that one of the masts was down in my city. Proper retards they are.
Indeed, orange arnt known for their brilliant customer service. I think 1 in 10 of the staff you speak to actually have a clue.
Anyways thanks for the reply, it was indeed the rom...thought it might have been but wanted to exhaust every other option first. All fixed nowthough, thanks again.
