I posted in the cm6 thread but it seems more people are interest in flaming other's post.
I have been running nightlies for a bit and decided to settle on 8/8. Usually I'm connected via wifi however, last night I noticed my phone no longer gets 3g or any data link. Is there a hidden setting? Under mobile network settings, I have data enabled, beyond that I can't figure it out.
I have tried full wipes and backups, re-installing cm6, re installing kernals, wimax and radio all to no avail.
no getting a notification that says "data roaming- you have lost data connectivity because you left your home network with...(can't read the rest off screen"
CM has data roaming off by default..have you tried turning data roaming on?
settings/wireless & networks/mobile networks
??
Yes, I was on the verizon network, odd though it wouldn't turn on data roaming for some reason. All my work was to no avail anyway, the tower near me is down. I just assumed it was working. No it get all my data back up. Thanks for your response.

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.
I've been running CM7 stable since May without any issues. Friday night I visit a friend who's pretty far out and I usually only get 1 or no bars. I tried to look up something on my phone but i got a 'Data Roaming - you have lost data connectivity' notification. I didn't think much of it and turned on Data roaming to use the 1x data for the time. Then the next day at home where i get great connection i noticed i was still on 1x. I turned off roaming and the data connection notification pops up and i can't get any data. I've updated my radios to current releases and even tried reflashing but i still can't get any data. Any suggestions?
Airplane mode?

Good guess but it's not that. I've turned data on and off multiple times to see if i could just reset a connection but it never does. I can't figure this out, i did not change anything and all of a sudden i lost my data :c
Bumpy. I recently got a new battery and tried using my old one but that didn't help either. I'm really at a loss of ideas.
Have you tried reflashing cuz it happen to me on another ROM and I reflashed it and it worked idk give it a shot bruh

My friend since you tried all those other routes why dont you just refresh your data. You will have to flash back to Sense but I think that should do the trick. Get your MSL code from Sprint or the MSL reader in the market and go for it. There should be quite a few threads in google to show you how to do it without call Sprint. Its harmless to try and will refresh everything for you. May not hurt to update prl as well
Here's the deal: my S2 keeps disabling its WiFi connection. I’ll be connected to my router for a while, sometimes for 12+ hours at time, when all the sudden my S2 will lose its WiFi connection and switch to 4G. When I go into my WiFi settings, it will say that my router is “Not in range” and show no other available networks (even though there are dozens in this area).
I can sometimes get my connection back by toggling Airplane mode or “use packet data” on/off. But nothing works %100 percent of the time. I don’t think it’s a router issue either because we had 4 smartphones in this house over Christmas and the only two that lost their WiFi connection were my and my wife’s S2s.
Anyone else encounter this?
(p.s. Phone is stock, by the way.)
If you have the Tmobile my account disable or uninstall it.I made a thread about this awhile back. It has something where it needs to stay connected to 4g or intermittently puts data on and cuts wifi off I used to have this problem before not no more after uninstalling it.
Thanks, sarni. I read your thread a couple days ago (when I was trying to figure out what was going on), but I'm not sure we're having the same issue. My WiFi and 4G icons aren't on at the same time, for instance.
The other problem is that I haven't rooted my phone, so uninstalling T-Mobile's "My Account" app isn't an option.
Yet.
Happening again now.
Phone seems to be stuck in the following loop: scanning for available WiFi networks, seeing them all, locking in on my WiFi network, trying to obtain an IP address, then back to scanning again without a connection.
No toggling of settings broke the loop until I powered on/off.
hey guys,
got a i317m from canada with the stock bell rom with root. everyone week or two, i'll notice im not getting any data (messages and other data apps wont work). the lte symbol is there, but the little arrows for upstream and downstream are clear (usually orange or blue when working).
i tried rebooting, wifi on/off, airplane on/off and still the same. i confirmed lte is selected and the apn is selected and duse data is selected. it seems to start working when i start messing with the roaming options (havent confirmed this completely as i am still trying to narrow it down).
one thing i just noticed is that when it starts working, its in hspa mode, not lte
any suggestions?
I have the opposite issue in Michigan. If I lose LTE I will lose hsdpa even though the icon shows 4G. I can see the data curves moving up and down but no data. Sometimes jumping in and out of airplane mode fixes it. Also I see the 4G Hsdpa icon and the WiFi icon active at the same time even though I'm using WiFi. Very annoying.

Hello, I have an evo 4g that is flashed to boost. Has been working fine the past year an last week 3g stopped working.The icon is lit up but it seems that it does not work.Internal apps in the phone recognize if it is on or not either by attempting to work if it is lit up or by giving me the message that I need a data connection if it is not lit up. Tried rebooting-battery out and back in, tried uninstalling-reinstalling ROM(which is SS_Ultra) still no 3g. Wireless does work fine. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Roseypat...First I would dial ##33284# and then click "Data Status" and at the very top Where it says IP Address: after that does it say EVDO Rev A (with numbers like this 170.356.123.for example: EvDo Rev A 170.123.456.789.....or after the IP Address: does it say this 1xrtt 170.123.456.789) Also, below that it will say "Last Data Error:" if it says no data thats fine, but if it has a code what was it? This will at least tell us if you have a data connection and whether it is 3g(EvDo) or 1xrtt(2g)....Because you say that the 3g symbol is there it has to have a data connection...And the blinking your referring to is indicating that it is sending or receiving data.
That being said, this usually is related to a bad app downloaded or updated right around the time that it quit working...The first thing I would do is switch it to the stock rom if possible...But either way, I'm betting if you do a Factory Data Reset on your device(which will not effect the flash it will only erase all of the users inputs and data(ie apps, etc)....I just had someone with this exact issue and the Factory Data Reset fixed it back to normal. You can find this in the Storage section of the settings menu(at least on the stock rom anyways)...Btw, just to be safe, I would remove your sd card before you do the factory data reset. Good Luck.
