Server problem at XDA ? - About xda-developers.com

I couldn't see this posted elsewhere, apologies if I've missed it though.
For the last week or so, I've been getting intermittent problems with the forum site, and all the other sites I use are fine.
When clicking on links/trying to post/refreshing the page etc, then occasionally I get a timeout from my browser saying the site is taking too long to respond. I retry and it works fine.
It seems like perhaps there's a server that is slow to respond, and retrying managed to get onto another server ?
Surely it's not just me getting this ?

A few days ago there was some probs due to server stuff but now all is ok

Correct, we had some intermittent issues on Monday and Tuesday (November 15th and 16th).
If you continue see any errors, please do let us know immediately. Thanks!

I had the problem several times earlier today. It's been ok just now, I'll report if it keeps happening, thanks.

It just happened again. Approx 60 seconds ago from this posting.

Still getting this problem. Sorry if this seems like I'm bumping the thread, I'm just trying to show that I'm still seeing it, it hasn't gone away.

ive noticed XDA has been slow for weeks now compared to any other website i go on. not had it time out though. seems to of got worse since the new theme was implemented. it was ok before then.
*just found the option to switch it back to class xda and seems a lot faster now. looks like my pc doesnt like the new theme. might be worth trying a different theme steviewevie...

Hero SMS 4 hours behind

Hi All,
I have the Modaco 2.2 rom installed, however when someone txt's me, it is always 4 hours behind the actual time. Ive tested this by texting myself @ say 8pm, and the received message will be time stamped at 4pm when its mere seconds apart...does anyone have any ideas on what the issue could be?
Thanks!
actually i have a similar prob too but in my case the person replying to me always seems to do it before my time...even though it me who had messaged first...BUT I HAVE THE OFFICIAL ROM..NOT STOCK!
Might be a bug (not sure if its HTC and/or android as I cant test) but do both of you happen to live in an area where you have to manually set the Daylight saving time or use some "odd" timezone indication set by your provider ?
Yes i have to set it according to the srvice provider...but i can change it as well..any solutions??
Just letting you guys know, you're not alone. I get this issue, too. Happened both on stock 1.xxx and now mcr 2.2
Was it just those roms that had that kinda behavior, and when you switched it was fine again? Im wondering if its juts a wacky rom or something wrong w. the phones hardware.
It's a network issue. At least for me it was.
I applied the fix from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559731
and it worked for me! I was 4 hours behind too. It's great having my texts actually thread correctly.
Hope it works for you!

any help? ..........................
Last I saw the T-Mobile update was exactly the same as the leaked one... So the problems you are experiencing are odd???? I still have the leaked Rom and it works fine without the issues you describe. The Only time my battery life is shortened is when using the internet features and/or leave the screen on... for example I left wifi sharing on the other day... I was at 50% 2 hours later... so I turned it off, 10 hours later I was at 30% not too bad!

Yes I believe it's been confirmed that the "leaked" T-mo upgrade ROM was bit-for-bit identical to the final (official) release, verified by matching checksums.
However, when the upgrade was first making the rounds here, there were numerous reports of odd issues that would pop up for people after the initial flashing of the ROM...and the solution was just to re-flash it again. Amazingly, doing a 2nd flash of the same ROM seemed to clear up quite a few of the oddball problems that people were seeing.
I'm afraid though I don't have any idea why those last 2 apps aren't working for you following the upgrade...?
Woah, warning about WMLongLife...
It F*CKED up my 3G connection bad. It wouldn't automatically switch to 3G when I was coming into a 3G area from a GPRS/EDGE area and it was almost impossible to get the original setting back. I'd stay far away from that app if I was you.
The other app, I'm not familiar with. Where is the original post of that?

Orange mobile internet

Hi all,
Has anyone on the orange network been struggling to get on the internet today?? The internet was working fine in the morning, but since about 10am, there is absolutely no connection. browser doesnt work, market says no connection. Very strange. I am running the latest Miui rom, but nothing has really changed since I flashed that rom last night.
i have had issues today! been really slow or timing out
Likewise until about an hour ago
Mine's been terrible all afternoon as well, still not up to speed really but a lot better than it was.
Glad I'm not the only one. Although something strange has started to happen. I tried to open this thread and for some reason I get a pop up of an orange page saying that the page is rated for over 18s and that they can't identify me! Lol. I'm tempted to wipe the rom and restart again.

Yeah I've had all the issues described in this thread, its particularly bad between 11 and 3 usually but today was just **** all day and various sites threw up the Orange safe guard page. Really bloody annoying, I don't think Orange has the capacity.

Well it appears I have had some success. Restored my apn settings and restarted the phone and so far so good. Not had that safeguard message yet. Lets hope that's the end of that.

Telus - Limited internet connection

Ok, I'm not sure what's going on or how to fix this. Yesterday, I couldn't connect to the market, it kept telling me it was a network error. I could still browse the internet no problem. Then I notice that Facebook wasn't updating, so it is a connection issue. It's weird that I could still browse the internet and Google+ would load my streams as well as upload photos that were taken. I decided to do a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik) and re-install Oxygen2.1.6.
The re-install went fine, but now I still cannot connect to the Market so my apps aren't re-installing. Any ideas what might fix this since a full wipe didn't help?
Nothing had changed between the connection working and it not working. The phone wasn't rebooted, nothing changed in my APN settings either. Connection bars are all green.
Everything works fine when I'm connected to wifi.
*Restoring a previous backup doesn't work either and whenever I try to re-flash 2.1.6 I get a bootloop. So confused.
Nobody knows?
Really don't want to flash the RUU and re-root/s-off again if I don't have to. Just seems weird to me that this was working one evening then suddenly not working the next day with no re-boot or anything different installed in between.
I'm not using a desire but rather a nexus s.. but I'm having the exact same issue. I've tried just about everything except unrooting to fix it.

I'm going to try flashing a different radio when I get home but I can't really see that fixing it as it's been working with no issues since I first rooted it a while back.
I tried several radios with no success. Its so strange. Gmail, xda, browser work.. but no market, Facebook, or twitter widget updates from launcher pro. I'm so confused.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
Yea, all the same here. My YouTube app doesn't work either.
I've been experiencing the same problems. I've been researching and tinkering and I've found some interesting things out.
First off I am going to assume that you two are on the TELUS network, you never said but that is what I am on and I have heard no information about it occuring on other networks
I noticed it yesterday and initiated several re-flashes and radio updates, none of which helped. Today I went into TELUS and they told me that they have been having alot of people with the telus bravo encountering similar issues. So instead of frowning and walking out I decided to ask if I could speak to the technician.
According to him the issue is not a connection to the network, rather that either the phones radio or the network is dropping the connection partway through data transfer. Therefore you can get through the connection, DNS and handshake processes, but it will fail during the transfer of data, but at no specified time. So I could use Grasscities Tapatalk app because it was just transferring text and other light data, but downloading large amounts of data winds up failing, which is why you can’t get market to work. TELUS does not know if the issue is only affecting desires (looks like it’s wider than just that) or if it is happening on any other network. They are in the information gathering phase and still waiting on a reply from HTC’s technical team to see if it is a problem affecting the radios.
I’ve spent most of the last 48 hours trying to solve this problem with no luck. TELUS has assigned me top level case advisement so I will update this thread as I know more about the problem. In the meantime, and I know how much it sucks, you will have to stick with wifi (as will I T_T)
Yeah, I'm on Telus. That would explain why a friend with a Nexus S on Rogers had no problems at all. I sure hope Telus figures this out soon. For now, I'm subscribing to this thread and hoping you hear something back. I'll update if I notice my data connection has returned to normal. Thanks for the info!
Also on Telus. Thanks so much for the update. I was thinking it was something on their part and have been meaning to call them but I'm at work. Just kinda assumed it wasn't their fault since some data did work, but it's good to have an answer.
Now I just need to figure out why my phone keeps bootlooping on a fresh 2.1.6 Oxygen install.
No problem guys, I know how frazzled you feel; I’ve been the exact same way for the last 48 hours.
Though I must say I am surprised that the forums are not all aflutter with discussion about this. The way the technician at TELUS was talking it sounded like they were getting a lot of calls about this. But dear freaking god I hope they get this solved soon… and if not then they had better let me out of my contract.
glad to hear it's not just me.. this has been happening since I went and saw U2 at the Rogers Centre in Toronto Monday night.. Every time I tried to upload pics I was taking at the concert it would just pause on the upload, or fail out completely.. my signal was dropping to nothing there as well.. I thought, being at the "Rogers" centre, that perhaps they'd set up a Telus signal blocking station
But then the problems have continued through to today. Some stuff kinda works.. I can get FB and Twitter updates from my Colorize Widgets, but can't actually use the FB app. twitter.com works, but facebook.com doesn't. google works sometimes.. but most pages time out in the manner mentioned above.
Quite annoying.
That's weird. This has been happening since yesterday for me, but last night it had no problems Instant Uploading pictures to Google+.
Some functionality has returned for me. Market still won't load.. but Facebook half-loads and the twitter widget in launcherpro is loading again. They must be working on it. I hope they fix it all soon.

Still all down on my end. Hope it gets resolved by tomorrow.

All function has been restored for me. Hope you guys are good too.

Lumia 900 having data connection loss. AFTER updating it! WTF!?!?!

Like the title says, I just started having the dreaded data connection issue. I never had it before, updated my 900 the day the update was available. Then today, out of the blue, my Lumia 900 isn't picking up any data. It says LTE, but can't pull up ANY web pages, even simple mobile sites. Won't update stories in my wpcentral app, or any other apps, at all. Going to try calling at&t and Nokia to see what the problem could be. Anybody else having problems with their updated 900 or on at&t?

Data Issues
Oddly I wan't getting email or anything this morning. After awhile I am now getting data for email and most apps although some are complaining.
Right now though IE doesn't work at all. Kicking back a 502 Bad Gateway.
Anyone else seeing this. I wouldn't have noticed since I usually have Wi-fi but had turned it off. About 1AM MST time is when it seemed to keal over.
Op, interesting that you are in Vegas. I was all last week and it worked like a charm but first thing this morning back home no go just like you. No email, no weather tile update, no web pages.
I turned on WiFi and was able to get data.
My phone was a pre-order, my wifes which was bought on launch day worked fine. Both are patched via Zune.
I power cycled my phone and it started working.
Hard reset your phone after update. If you haven't yet, that's what At&t/Nokia will tell you to do.
If this helps there are 7 reported users having the same issue all at about the same time, this morning, having issues.
Here is the post: http://forums.wpcentral.com/lumia-900-ace/190736.htm#post1654488 Sorry if we are not supposed to link to thers. I will take it down if that is the case. I just want everyone to be able to see the status of what is happening.
Once upon a time back in the Tilt 2 WM 6.5 days I had a problem with data/talk ONLY at my office.
AT&T wanted me to send in the phone to fix it but I insisted that it couldnt be the phone because if I left work it was all fine.
In the end I switched sim cards with my wife while at the office and I guess the IMEI/SIM combo on the network gets stored because when I did that all was fine, then I switched back and all was still fine.
If so many people had trouble at the same time I don't see how it was the phone.
I've done the hard reset after update & it was fine up until this morning. Tried soft resetting this morning. Mine was also pre order online, maybe that has something to do with it. I'm going to try connecting to WiFi see if that helps. Maybe it'll jog it somehow. Hoping to avoid hard reset, hundreds of apps to re-download, just doesn't sound like a fun morning, lol.
Thanks

I am having the exact same issue.
Exactly the same time as mine. And the 502 gateway thing is frustrating, but at least it's good info to learn that it's widespread, not just mine.

Mine tanked this sometime this AM as well. I set my phone to airplane mode at night, want the alarm but no other syncing happening. When I get up I turn on wifi and get ready. Got to work this morning and nothing. No cellular data.
No hard reset after update. Cyan lumia, bought last week.
Power cycle
It seems like it's resolved. Try power Cycling your device. After I did that when some were saying it was working then I was able to get full access again.
You're right tsmorty, mine's working fine now. I'd had my 900 running off of my Radar's WiFi. Once I disconnected it was working. At first I thought this had done the trick, but after seeing it's working for all now I see it was a coincidence. Thanks all!

problems in Ecuador
Liitle late to post in here haha, but....
I have been having the same issues since day 1, I havent tried to replace or return my phone because I bought it from an ebay seller and I am living in Ecuador, so its kind of expensive just to try to send it back and possibly with no response or telling me that is a network issue of my country.
Each time I go to a place with a weak signal, the phone will go to "E", and the connection wil drop, after a few minutes return to "4G", but the connection won't return at all, the only way to restore the connection is by rebooting.
By the way, I have done like 10 hard resets, and even reloaded the firmware with nokia care suite, and nothing, the problem persists.
My wife is using a Lumia 710, and it works perfectly.
I am using an unlocked lumia 900 from rogers
