Hi all,
Since today my desire will show the uploading arrow flashing as if it is using data but the download one never shows any activity and no apps or internet pages will load. The app market says it cannot connect as if the mobile internet was turned off. My WiFi works fine but my mob data does not. Any ideas what the problem may be?

i had this problem with a de branded (with froyo 2.2 .ruu download) orange handset could not get it to work spent 2 hrs talking to orange about the problem no reason given or found, if i did reset then go into recovery console but do nothing for a while then battery pull it would come back for an undefined period of time phone ended up in a bowl of water orange care are replacing it
Thanks for the advice mate but I don't have the luxury of a replacement handset as I bought the phone off the net and stuck my own sim in it. Mine is a de branded Vodafone running 2.2 froyo Rom. Any other ideas that might help me cure this problem?

Quick update: the data seems to work ok on a g signal and the download problems seem to be just with the h signal downloads

Are you certain that it isn't a network problem?

This is what it is sounding like to me.
Phone, Vodafone and have them check their side? (Also, how old is your sim card?)
My sim card is about a year old now. Do you think I should be checking it out and possibly getting a new one?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I seriously doubt your SIM card is to blame if it was working ok previously.
One thought that does occur to me is are you regularly using MMS? If so, do you have a separate APN for MMS set up?
I'm just wondering if perhaps your phone is trying to send an MMS and continually failing.
Regards,
Dave
i didn't mean put it in water i just said that's what happened to mine so i couldn't get it sorted and looked like it would have been sent back

I have Orange UK branded desire with a generic rom flashed to it. I keep loosing data connection and I have to restart to it back.
went to the carphone warehouse (trying to avoid orange because of the generic ROM) and the Guy said he changed the network settings and that might help, but it didn't.
anyone else having this or know a solution?

hi, my mobile internet stopped working a few days ago, it wasnt after an update or anything, the only thing i can think of is i enabled installing to sd card and put it back to normal.
my phone was and is unrooted desire stock latest firmware. im on O2 postpay.
ive attempted to fix it by checking all the apn settings, restarting my phone, turning my phone off for ten minutes, factory reset, but still it seems i have no internet even with the right settings..
i turn wifi off, mobile internet is switched on, i do not get any mobile internet icon up top, and of course nothing.
any help would be much appreciated. thanks in advance.

I have faced similar issue as you describe here. I had internet until I installed an application on my HTC Desire (Froyo 2.2). It was some application which would let me access my HTC files through a web interface from my LAN PC. After I uninstalled the app I did not have access to the internet though it was connecting to WiFi.
Issue was solved when I did a factory reset of the phone, I lost all my apps and contacts, but after this internet was working again on my phone. Now I'm thinking that I better had to check what was the VPN parameters set as I believe that program could set some values there without reverting back after uninstalling it.
Hope this helps.
hi thanks for the reply but as i said, i have done a factory reset and its still not working..
Im on O2 uk and my data stopped working today, my apn name had the word void at the end???? i reset to defaults and its been ok since.
i guess O2 had some problems
Mine never said void but ive reset it to default many times, no change

Just a though
Do you have any VPN declared in the settings?
(Settings/Wireless & networks/VPN Settings)
No.
But its sorted now. I got the new sim but it didnt work so i went back and they said when they switched the sim they accidentally removed the free internet bolt on.
I think they may have bullshitted me somewhere but it works now anyway.

I just got a G2. perm rooted it. and everytime upon booting up it has signal for 1 second then literally just disappears and never comes back. can't choose mobile network or anything because it can't search for it. tried doing *#*#infor#*#* and it says GSM ONLY and everytime i try to change it to WCDMA PREFERRED it keeps reverting back as soon as i exit. the only way i've been able to get signal back so far is to connect to wifi and enable wifi calling, then after disconnecting i'm able to get signal and i'm able to check the WCDMA PREFERRED option but awhile ago i was on wifi calling then left my house and it was disconnected but wasn't able to get signal again.
can anyone help me with what i should do because although i might be able to get it back through wifi calling, this will be very problematic whenever i'm not near my normal wifi locations...
thanks for the help
Eh... I would try reinstalling a stock rooted rom.

This is what it sounds most like to me. Also try to install another rom since you have it rooted now and see if that fixes the issue. Make sure you do a Nandroid backup first though!

I never put an unlock code and I'm still on tmobile. I called them and so far I haven't had trouble with signal as much but my number doesn't show up under status in about phone settings...it just says unknown. Its only on this phone though, my n1 shows my number with this sim.

No it wasn't. For the past couple of days since calling tmobile, its been significantly better but today I did randomly have that same problem of no connection, but mostly right now my problem is my g2 not being able to read my phone number in "status" under "about phone" settings but it does on my n1. When I called tmobile they tried sending my number ota 3 times with no luck...
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
During the first 30 days you can go to a TMO store and get a new phone, pretty much "no questions asked". I'd go ahead and do that if I was you. Oh, go to a corporate store though, not a mall kiosk.
While you're there, get a new SIM, too. All free of charge.
If you still have the same problem after that, I'd try an exorcist
Is this problem solved now ? I got the same problem but have no chance to return it back.
If there is the way to solve it, could you please inform and share
Thx

My signal problems seemed to be resolved, at least for the past week. It was resolved by calling tmobile customer support and they did some tests. However, my phone not recognizing my phone number under settings> about phone> status, is still a problem. Even tried getting a new sim and still didn't solve the problem. Did numerous OTAs with tmobile that didn't work. My number still shows up on caller id and stuff its just that menu thing. Sounds insignificant but some apps use that to determine your phone number. Also, when putting my sim back into my nexus one, it does show my number...

Hey there! I've recently started having problems using 3G on my DHD.
I'm running Android Revolution HD 5.2.3, but the issues started occuring many versions before this, I just haven't had a chance to sit down and look into the problem.
When I connect to 3G, the icon appears in the notification bar but I simply seem to have no connectivity at all. Occasionally the icon will change to a H. If I try to browse a webpage, the up arrow on the icon will light up and the down arrow will occasionally flicker, but nothing happens. Can't browse webpages or use any apps that require a connection.
Sometimes it will randomly start working again for 15mins or so and then drop out again. 90% of the time, turning airplane mode on and then off again will fix the problem for 15mins also before it drops out.
Does anybody have any idea what problem I may be having? I'm with Vodafone Australia.
Update: At the suggestion of another XDA member, I tried flashing another radio and I'm still having the same issue, so I assume it is not related to the radio.
Bonus Question: When I can get access to 3G, since upgrading to ARHD 5.2.3, the google homepage no longer detects that I'm on a mobile device and does't take me to the mobile version. How can I fix this?
Please do check your 3G mobile data APN configuration. Make sure the 3G APN matched with your current carrier 3G configuration (search google for your Vodafone APN setting). The letter H indicates HSDPA connection (or 3.5G, maybe).
In browser setting, check your user agent setting, set it to Android/mobile. If not, clear cache and data of Browser program in Manage Application Setting.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
Fixed the browser, thanks!
However, I have set up my APN correctly (as far as I am aware) and am still having the issue. Could re-flashing my radio help?

You have a fine, working mobile data, so you shouldn't have to push radio,RIL or flash kernel though. My best suggestion was the APN thing mentioned earlier. Or its network carrier related maybe? Try to consult your carrier customer service.

I consulted customer service and they are uncertain of any problems and simply told me that their service is 'not guaranteed to be perfect'.
However, a friend who lives in my area on the same carrier with the exact same phone is having no problems at all with connectivity, so I'm certain it's related to my phone alone.

Wow, that is not a nice thing to say to a customer. Have you tried to revert to stock rom with stock kernel and vodafone radio?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
I haven't tried that as I couldn't find the stock vodafone AUS RUU (I think that's what I need anyway...)
But I've had a custom rom and custom radio since the day I got my phone and up until two months ago or so my internet has been incredibly fast and not dropped out once, so I'm doubting it's ROM/Radio related... Starting to worry that it could be hardware.

I'm afraid so too. That's the worst case scenario. Still, you should consult someone who's expert in this matter personally. Not the repair shop (that would be last resort).

I have a small problem guys....when my phone is in sleep mode i don't get my text messages....as soon as i get the phone awake instantly i receive the texts....what seems to be the problem? need help cz i need to manually wake the phone and look for text messages....
P.S i am on stock with 1.29 latest update.....not rooted or flashed....
I already had a thread but im deleting it and refreshing my question as i have not had any response from anyone except for 1 which is downloading power saver settings but that didn't do anything.....Please help...Thanx....
UPDATE: On some other forum which i was searching for on Google, someone had posted to clear the cache and do a factory reset which i did and still i have the problem...i mean as soon as i manually wake the phone from sleep....i hear the tone and text message light appears....but if there are two texts for example another one coming immediately after the first one, then it notifies for both the texts....
***UPDATE (Possible Fix)*****
After searching thousands of forums i have found the problem to be that of software. Couldn't find a fix for it but found an app on the Play Store that does the trick...The app is call SMSAwake. Write it exactly like this in Play Store and you will find that it works and actually wakes the phone up and text is received. Glad i found something..... Do respond if you find it helpful.....THANKS.....
Yeah I have simmer on my phone if i receive a text phone do not notify me when I get one sometimes it do but loads of times it don't.
I will get the text if i go look in my sms inbox then they show up iv had once where someone sent me a pic and it just disappeared from my messages before I could receive it.
Im on stock untouched this started happening after the ota update from O2 very annoying that this happens think it's a software fault thou.
I had the same with the fb app on other phones never told me of any notification but on my hox it works perfect but texts do what the fb app use to do lol.

I often had this problem on an HTC Touch Diamond with Windows Mobile. What was happening in that case was the text messages were received, but the interrupt from the radio to the CPU didn't always work, or the phone was waking up, but going to sleep a split second before the alert had time to sound.
To the OP, what have you installed by way of applications? Things like battery savers or shutting down tasks using task killers could be the cause.

Assuming you guys are using stock ROMs and radios it has to be something specific to the One X and the carrier you're using. It happens all the time because one universal radio designed to work everywhere is bound to have issues occasionally on specific networks. HTC just pushed an update to the Nordic countries that updated their radio so I'm guessing there must have been some specific issues identified. 2.X when it's released will have a new radio so that might help.
I assume the One X has fast dormancy enabled by default. That can be a problem on certain networks that don't support it correctly. Here's a link to a thread on fast dormancy from the SGS3 forum that might help. Beyond that, I'm not sure what else to tell you. All phones don't work equally well on all networks.
