I have been testing the Trophy for Verizon for a few weeks now, and I only have one lingering problem. The data connection works, but isn't always ready. I can go into an app, and have data, but move to another and not have data.. it is reconnecting, because the data shows up eventually. I can exit the app and come back in, sometimes that works. Is it just because that takes about the same time as a data redial?
Anyways, I was hoping there was possibly a registry fix for this? Is there a spot that is defining when it lets go of the connection?
I know I have tested other Verizon phones, and had similiar data issues. So it may just be the way they have their test phones set up for data?
Thanks.
I don't think there is any solution. Because the cdma connection will automatically go to sleep after a moment of non-data-flow. and when you want to reconnect, it will cost a long time. when I use touch pro cdma of sprint, sometimes, I need to firstly cut down the sleeping connection and then re-connect it. I don't know why.

I have a T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro 2. The data connection seems to turn on by itself. I am traveling to a foreign country soon and I don't want to get a HUGE bill. I went to T-Mobile and they didn't know what to do. I re-setted the phone and I am running the new windows mobile. Does anyone know what to do???
Use this program. Very easy and simple. It allows you to disable your data connection completely.

Yes, Modaco NoData works great. It allows the use of WiFi but completely shuts off the cellular data connection.
Sense connects to the internet all the time to refresh the weather data and other info. You should definitely setup a way to turn off the data connection. I learned this lesson on my old Tilt while traveling in Japan. I accidentally launched Internet Explorer while the phone was in my pocket, and it cost a couple dollars just to load my browser homepage.
I just want to make sure... does MoDaCo NoData COMPLETELY shut off all data use PERMANENTLY on my T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro 2 (assuming I have set it up to have all the connections disabled)?
Doesn't matter if, say, the "weather" app, is trying to update/force a connection? Will it still stay off?
The only way to allow the data connection to come back would be to MANUALLY go into the MoDaCo NoData app and enable the connections again, correct?
Thanks for the answer/confirmation... I guess I just really need it spelled out for me.

That's correct, the data connection will stay off until you toggle it back on again in NoData. No other apps can force it back on.
When you first toggle the data connection off in NoData, you will need to soft reset (power off then on again) before the data connection is off. But it will stay off until toggle back on (no soft reset needed to turn data back on, from what I recall).

Thank you very much. That is exactly what I needed to hear.
One other question now: Say I had my HTC Touch Pro 2 without a SIM card in it. I install the NoData Cab before I put in my SIM card. When I put in my SIM card, is there anything that will force the data connection to come on? Or will I be able to just plug and play without the worry of the data connection ever coming on?
I understand that not everyone does this, but I'm just wondering if it will work in the way I would like it to.
^ Anyone know, or have an idea?
You could try it yourself I think that it's possible, but maybe only when you put a simcard in from a differenct carrier. You can disable it faster true nodata then it can enable by itself.
It started yesterday and I don't know why. Go to check my weather, hit update and after about 10 seconds I get a bubble telling me that an unknown connection error ocurred and to try again later. I can make phone calls, send and receive texts, but can't check my weather. If I soft reset it works fine. Today, go to check my weather again and same problem. Been making phone calls and texting all morning without issue. Soft reset and again it works fine. Obviously, something is going wrong with my data connection over time, but what could cause it to just shut down completely requiring a soft reset to fix?
More weirdness. I tried manually turning on my data connection in the Connection Manager and as quickly as I turn it on it turns itself off. WTF! I haven't done/added anything to the phone in a week. Is this something on AT$T's end, could they be blocking me from using data for some reason?
About 2 weeks ago I did some regedit to have the data connection turn off automatically after 5 mins of non-use. It was working fine after that and anytime it needed a data connection it would make it. I don't remember where the setting was to change it back, but I doubt this is the problem because this issue just started yesterday.
I'm on AT&T also, on the new leaked ROM, and I have exactly the same issue. It started about 2-3 weeks ago, and I noticed the connection drops overnight (during the day I have no problems), and it'll only come back after restart or reset. I think it's AT&T's network...

Maybe they work on improving their towers and network lol
T-Mobile does that also.
i get a Could not coonect bubble,and have to manualy enable my data conection.If you guys are Tethering our providers automaticly drop our priority level...Unlimited my ass,they tried to cap me at Edge speed and all i had to do was disable/enable the data conection to blast 3g...
I found the problem, but I still don't know what caused it. I'm leaning towards something done on AT$T's end. I have always had my phone configured to use the AT$T ISP in network properties. Apparently, it no longer likes this setting. Switched back to MediaNet and all is working just fine. Problem is that when I first got the phone I did speed tests using both settings and AT$T ISP was faster, so that's why I set it that way. I can't test it now because it won't stay connected with that setting. Can AT$T block users from a particular connection? I don't tether and the most data I've ever used was 280mb last month. Hardly a reason to block me.
I'm not thethering either, my usage is roughly 600 MB/mo and my network is already set to MediaNet. This problem started recently, didn't have it before.
Looks like it is something going on with AT$T. A number of my friends from different states have reported issues over the past 2 weeks with several having severe connection issues the past few days. These are people on varying devices including iPhones, Blackberrys and smartphones. I hope it is due to AT$T finally upgrading their network and not overload from all the new iPhone users and abusive tetherers.
This one issue - I will lose data connection even though i have 5 bars - I pop in and out of airplane mode - then have service back. It happens more than a few times a day. My G1 never had this problem. (I don't know if it happens with a voice services)
This issue happens with any program requiring a data connection. Anybody else having this problem - would it be a hardware or software thing? It is not a "deathgrip" thing - since it also happens when its sitting in my car, not in my hand.
Thank you.
Update. Changed battery manager to performance. Noticed that data was only affected. Voice calls still worked. I just want my slacker to work at night.
Well, USA or "other" phone? Reason I ask is because the USA T-Mo version has a wifi calling app that can fiddle with your "preferred network type." At any rate next time it happens you might check that setting for the heck of it. *#*#INFO#*#*, (*#*#4636#*#*). Otherwise maybe your SIM is NFG?
Hello,
I live in an area (like many of us) there T-mobile service isn't that great. I daily drive through areas with zero service and I have almost no service at my house so we utilize WIFI Calling.
I have been finding for the past few months that when I return to an area of good service (phone showing full bars of 4G or 4G LTE) that I cannot move any cellular data. If I reboot the phone then everything works again for a while. I have tried to toggle into airplane mode and back but this does not help, only a full reboot helps.
Does anyone else get this? Its very annoying to have to reboot the phone when I need to use cellular data. Appreciate some input. Phone is NOT rooted and running the latest available software from T-mobile

It happens all the time for me. I've not been able to figure out why it happens, but I've seen some speculation in other threads where people think it can break when switching between H+, 4G, LTE, etc. Some people have reported that switching to airplane mode and back fixes it, but it doesn't work for me. Only a reboot will fix it for me.
Here is another thread with some discussion on it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/help/mobile-network-data-connection-drops-t3097605
Thanks for the response. I'm not happy to hear it appears to be happening to everyone. I wonder if any of the carriers have reported this to Samsung?
I cleared the cache partition on my phone 2 days ago and I've been good since...that doesn't mean it fixed it but its been a while since I had 2 good days!
THIS HAPPENS TO ME OMG!!! I thought I was going crazy... it happens quite often in NYC where we travel by subway underground... Switching to Airplane mode then back indeed fix it majority of the time, but it doesn't work sometimes...
Also, this happens when i am on Wifi for extended period of time, and then leave WiFi, the phone will show 4G LTE but wont' push any data.
Going into Phone status will show that you have no IP Address...
edit: btw, i've done an exchange with Tmobile, and still happens on the phone, Swapped SIM card as well, doesn't solve the problem. T-Mobile ran diagnosis, and found nothing wrong. I suspect it might be T-Mobile's network configuration...
Also, I can almost 100% reproduce this when I am playing a game that requires periodic connection (like loading acount info), and then playing in the subway while doing data connection between subway station (we have internet at the station, but not in the tunnel) will break my 4G LTE data connection...
I was recently out of the country so I disabled cellular data and data roaming on my 5X phone. When my T-Mobile bill came, I had data connection charges several times each day. I called T-Mobile and they said they were all application updates. How can my phone connect to mobile data when I turned it off? I've seen posts about the same issue but never saw a solution. If anyone has figured out how to fix this please let me know. Otherwise I'L just get rid of this phone,
There was a similar issue they had on Project Fi, but I don't know if it is related to your issue.

I think mine is a little different. I dont see LTE on at all so it looks like data is really turned off. I have been on wifi almost all the time and yet every single dAy has a data connection charge. I am back in the US so I dont know how to check if the phone still has an issue.
