I'm pretty new to Android, but out of curiosity I flashed CyanogenMod 6.1.3 a few days ago and all went well, but I've just noticed that I'm unable to get a 3G connection. All widgets/settings show that 3G & mobile data is turned on, but there's no indicator in the notification bar and no browsers can connect to the internet. I can still get a WiFi connection. Any ideas why this is happening, and how I can fix it?
Thanks for reading.
Check your apn settings, you may have to enter them manually

Tried that, used settings straight from the T-Mobile website.
It is definitely something to do with your APN setup, something isn't right.

Hi guys, after installing the latest radio on my Hero I get the feeling that my mobile internet connection (both HSDPA, 3G and 2G) seem to be dropping more often than before. I haven't monitored this prior to upgrades so I can't say for sure. But is anybody having the same experience?
Also is it possible to downgrade the radio? Do you just reinstall the old radio?
Thanks.
yes i have the same issue. my mobile internet and also the gps stops to work after a while of not using the phone. i have to restart the phone to get gps back to work.
mobile internet can also be reactivated by activating and deactivating the "only 2g networks" option.
this failure sucks because i just recognize that the mobile internet is down because i didn't get push mails for a while.
I have noticed that as well
Yep me too. I can be browsing (web, market, or rss) for a while, then lose connection for a bit, then it will suddenly work again.
Can we reflash the old radio?
No need. It could be the APN settings. I was having problems on T-Mobile with HSDPA dropping and read in another post to go to the T-Mobile support page for the G2 and select Connecting to the Internet --> Set up the phone for internet surfing --> and follow the instuctions to set up a new APN. Worked for me
I have the same problem.
I have installed the new Hero ROM two weeks ago, one week ago mobile internet disappeared from my phone. Before this it was very good.
I can't find the good solution for this issue. Please help.
Same radio ROM. But there were internet for a week with this ROM.
I don't understand.
(I have tried to reflash the ROM, but not solved.)
Same problem here.
Mobile network has been unstable since I bought it.
When I turn it off for a while and turn it on again, I can't see the icon on the top bar. What I have to do is going to Settings - Wireless controls - Mobile network settings - Network operators - Select automatically.
Sometimes the connection is lost while using. I have to do the same thing like above to make it work again.
I also contacted HTC's customer service, but I haven't got any response.
Too bad!
I find if I leave it then it comes back. Every so often it goes...then the firmware eventually notices and it reconnects. Annoying. Hopefully this will be fixed when T-Mobile release thier version of the ROM update later this week.
I have the same issue, but it seems like it only happens when I leave a wirelss-zone (and not every time I do that either).
When I leave home, it will maybe 1 of 3 times not connect to 3G before I manually connect again (Settings - Wireless controls - Mobile network settings - Network operators - Select automatically)
I've just used AnyCut to create a shortcut to this menu-option so it is less annoying, but a more permanent and official fix would be great.
same thing in my one thats why i hate htc from now one loots of bugs in hero headphones led net go back to htc hd how you can release phone if is not done properly

TheBrit's settings appear to have resolved the issue. have been logged into instant messenger for more than an hour without the connection dropping off give it a go guys.
wow, how much better is that
Guys, if u have the dropping connection concern, as I did, please follow tmobile link in previous posts or a one for your mobile provide apn settings, I've just done it and have had no dropped connections for ages
i was also having the same issue but since installing the modoco 2.6 enhanced rom with the radio ending in 07.08 all has been good.
dropping connection
Hi,
I have a g2 Touch from T-Mobile germany.
It runs Runs modaco 2.6 with the newest Radio. Dont know the number it ends on 0708.
I have the prob with dopping connections. But i cant download the settings from tmo germany, because there are no settings to download. Can anyone help me? Or Can i flash the old Radio back? And where can i get it for tmo germany?

I changed the apn settings on my desire and now I am having problem connecting to the internet using either 3G or hSPDA. before changing the settings I was able to connect to the internet using 3G but now when I have try to go online and the 3G icon is displayed the phone does not do anything and if it will evetually connect to the internet it will only do via the H (HSPDA)... I have reset the apn to default and its all the same, no improvement, I have input the mms settings again with no effect.... no its getting on my nerves now... am thinking of reseting the phone back to factory settings.....
I suggest you get new settings from here: http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/help-and-support/index?page=home&cat=SOFTWAREDOWNLOADS

thanks for that
tried it but they only had hd2 and touch 2 listed for phones under android...
So far i believed that hd2 and touch 2 phones are wm not android :? ??? strange...
are there any options for different android phones? hero, magic, etc... as they should work with desire
just go to the APN settings and press Menu>return to defaults. The settings are preprogrammed in for t-mobile UK, and they are definitely correct.
As for not being able to connect on 3G, that is a known t-mobile issue. When 3G is showing, it is supposed to change up to H when you try and send/receive data. sometimes, their network does not change up successfully, and you end up sitting on 3G with no data transfer.
turn mobile data off and back on again and that usually fixes it. There's three or four threads on that on the T-mobile website.
Now this is interesting ...
After I read your reply below, I think that issue is NOT only in the UK.
Because I use T-Mobile NL and I got exactly the same problem!!!
I am still using my HTC Kaiser though and I was (still) confused why I "suddenly" could not connect to the internet
I use Opera Mini, at first it was connected fine, browsed several websites and then suddenly dead on ... cannot connect.
Restart Opera Mini, same issue ... the connection still there.
Restart the data connection ... there you go, I was able to browse again.
Damn! I did not know that this is T-Mob issue I tried to clean my WM device, reinstall Opera and whatnot ....
Oh yeah, this issue just happened recently ... like a month or two months.
Before that, I have no problem like this.

Been flashing the DHD for about a year now and never had a problem with it.
S-OFF ENG etc, running MDJ's 3.1.1 ROM.
Not flashed the phone for a week or so but as of this afternoon my mobile network just sits at "Turning on.."
Will not connect data.
Wireless OK. just no data.
Ive not messed, installed, uninstalled anything for a while and this morning it was working ok.
Anyone got any ideas ?
+1. Same here. Was working fine, then I noticed the data icon was missing.
Have tried different roms, radios, etc. But no joy.
Any help, gratefully received on this matter.
Just out of interest, what network are you on?
Edit. Definitely something wrong with Orange. Unable to connect to my account with the Orange app.

+1 same stock 2.2.1 with orange. No data

I have had the same problem, but had related it to a dodgy data import from MyBackupPro as it was working and then wasn't. Nothing I did would bring it back apart from a factory reset. I didn't reload the data and it's been OK so far but it could be a similar problem.
I am on stock Gingerbread.
Just flashed a new ROM, problem solved. Couldn't be bothered waiting months no doubt for orange to update to 2.3 and put all their crapware on it.

?
by saying no data you mean in 3g networks?
Yeah 3g

see if you stuck NPC data in the phone company
I’ve experienced this too when I was in some areas, it happened in place you’ve been before and used 3g?
In my country whenever I go to the beach I lose 3g network and it keeps trying to connect...
Probably you know it, but...
If you use widget to turn on/off your data, and if you changed ROM from older to Gingerbread, it seems that this doesn't work. It is partially true- widget doesn't work anymore, but you can still turn on/ off your data from upper dock -> quick settings -> cellular network data (or something similar )
Me too, and I'm running stock 2.3.3 on Vodafone UK. No icon by signal strength bars, although apparently signal strength at -75dBm.
I can force it into 2G by selecting GSM only and the icon comes back, but not so for WCDMA only.
Also noticed in Quick settings from pull down notification bar that 'Mobile Network' is always 'Turning on...' and won't toggle.
Any ideas?
Hi, just got my One X a couple days ago. Things went fine until last night, suddenly the phone couldnt connect to the internet via data connection. Wifi is fine but 2G/3G gets connected and disconnected instantly. The H/3G/E and up and down arrows appears and disappears constantly.
I checked with my wife's phone which is using Android and also the same network provider but data connection was fine. So I did a hard reset but it didnt help. I installed another ROM but the problem still there.
Im thinking to have my SIM replaced by tomorrow. But before that, I wanna ask if anyone has seen any problem similar.
Thank you guys :good:
If you've tried a new Rom and checked your apn details already then it does sound like a SIM card issue.
Have you tried getting into Phone settings hidden menu? Dial *#*#4636#*#*
Select phone info, scroll down, and make sure radio type is set to wcdma preferred.

I'm having the same problems with some custom ROMs and I don't know what to do to fix it.
It works right with leedroid but I couldn't make it work with any CM.
I can be browsing the internet and then it goes back to 2G for 1 second and no connection any more.
I already tried the configuration with the dial number above and nothing seemed to work.
Thanks!
Just got my simcard replaced yesterday and now things are working fine. Yay!
Hey everyone, I've really annoying Internet connectivity issues on my onex, half of the time it's connected to the mobile network showing the "H" sign on top and the rest of the time it's showing the "3G" icon.
Now my issue is that while it's on the 3g the internet just stops - while playing it disconnects, on the browser it just loading forever, and on programs it get stuck.. while on the H everything is going fine!
I am living in Israel and worked with partner and now changed to "Pelephone" which should have the fastest/best mobile network, and it made no change. I also tried according to.an advice i got here to change my phone on settings to "wcdma only" and still no change.
Please, if anyone has any.idea about this problem and a solution i would be greatful.
Oren.
By the way i am on stock rom, rooted.
