Hi
I've had a weird issue crop up this morning. When I woke up I checked my phone like I usually do and I had data connection on 3G but when I opened the web browser its showing 'Web page not available' like it does when I have no connection.
Everything was working fine last night. I though maybe it was the cell tower as I had an issue a few weeks ago of terrible connection so waited till I got to work to try again. Same thing. Web pages not coming up. Now my apps seem to have limited access to the data and are half loading things up. I know data is being accessed somewhere as I have 3G Watchdog and I can see the amount of data used increasing yet cant get any of my web browsers to work.
This isn't only limited to 3G as I've just connected to the wifi at work and still have the same issue.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Oh and phone is rooted too if that makes any difference and I've not downloaded any new apps in the last couple days or updated any of them either :/

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.
Ok guys, I'm getting frustrated with this data issues I've been having.
I've done searches everywhere and have yet to find any solutions or even anyone else with the same issue so maybe by chance someone here will have an idea.
Whenever I am heavily using my data connection (i.e. streaming music, you tube, constant web browsing) my data connection just goes dead. It stops streaming, stops loading websites, i get connection retry/timeout errors, etc etc etc.
This only happens over cell networks not wifi. My phone still shows the 3G or H connection icon like its still connected, but everything stops working. and the most annoying part is it happens after about 2-10 minutes of heavy data use. If I'm just lightly browsing the web (going to a website, staying there a little while then on to another link/site) it doesn't seem to do it as often, if at all.
After the data connection seems to go dead (still shows connected via 3G or H icon mind you), if I leave my phone alone for about 15-30 minutes, everything starts working fine again. But I usually get impatient and just go into the settings, disable data connection and then immediately re-enable it and it starts working again for another 2-10 minutes of heavy use!
As if all this wasn't weird enough, THIS PROBLEM HAS FOLLOWED ME FROM MY NEXUS ONE TO MY NEW G2! With my N1 tech support thought I had a faulty radio chip so they replaced the device and that didn't help, that's when I decided to sell the N1 and switch to the G2. Since then I've gotten a new sim card and that hasn't help. I thought maybe somehow it was my SD card, but it does it with the SD card removed too.
What the hell man?!? I'm at my wits end here.
Try to see if you can get a new sim card for free. I know thats sort of a strange issue but it you had it on both you nexus and g2 i dont even know what else to suggest.

Already tried that too, it didn't help.
A bad wireless tower perhaps?

How many bars of signal do you have? I've noticed that the G2's data connection is pretty much useless if you have two bars or less of signal.

I have a T-Mobile G2 and I have experiencing the same issue! And I can't figure out what the problem is. I have tried the new SIM card that came with the G2 and that didn't work. I am getting really frustrated and the Technical Support from T-Mobile isn't much help either. Does anyone have a solution?
I spoke with a representative yesterday and he asked me to change the following setting:
From your Homescreen, click the "menu" button --> Settings --> Wireless & Networks --> Mobile Networks --> Access Point Names --> T-Mobile Data
Click on T-Mobile Data and it will allow you to edit the access point. Select APN and change it to "internet2.voicestream.com" from "epc.tmobile.com".
He then asked me to restart my phone. It's been working so far (for a day)! I will keep you posted.
Sometimes T-Mobile will slow down ur speed if u've been using a lot of bandwidth. This will cause ur vids to stop playing/not play at all.

Noticed this a few days ago and it's continued to be a problem. When I am connected to 4G LTE, initially the speed is great! But if I leave the phone unattended for a while, eventually I lose the data connection. It still shows 4G at the top, but I can't do much online. For example if I run a speedtest, I get a ping from a server that is normal (40-70ms), but the transfer starts at around 200kb/s and then freezes and errors out. Airplane mode sometimes fixes this, but usually I have to reboot the phone. Anybody else notice this problem? I searched and found a few things relevant to the LTEvo but nothing for us. FWIW I am rooted.

Hi all
A search of the forums revealed 5 potential threads similar to this but not quite (not same symptom, phone, modem ...)
Keep loosing mobile data connection...
I have installed X-note 3 and found that my mobile internet is intermittent particularly in Youtube where I frequently have to click "No connection , Retry" or "Connection to Server lost, Retry" and in Play Store and Gmail where the problem tends to occur on a screen unlock after it has been unused for a few minutes - about 3 to 5 mins.
I dont believe this is a ROM issue because I d/l various ROMS such as Revolution, Alliance, PacMan, Paranoid and still I get the problem.
I tried installing all 9 of these radios here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2044937 to no avail.
Also notice that if I set Network Mode to "GSM only" then this makes no difference to the problem (the default is "GSM/WCDMA Auto" which is what I've set it back to)
WiFi works fine.
Any ideas?
same issue here.
a lot of time trying to know why this happen. and i think it is due to fast dormancy.
the phone usually stays in standby in 3g... when you request some data it will automatically turn h or h+. Here is when you will notice the internet moving.
But unfortunately if you have some.coverage issues you can have this problem and then the programs instantly report no conection. If you insist you will see you can obtain connection. 5 seconds later 3g will appear again
It does not mind you will see the bars of coverage at maximum... if there is no quality signal you will have this problem.
I just have this problem at work. Not in other places.
But if you want a constant connection I recommend to keep for example online music while navigating...this will avoid the issue...unfortunately you will increase your data plan..
Yes!! This is exactly what happens.
So it can't be my specific phone but perhaps a hardware design or software issue. I don't recall this I happening before I rooted
Weird
Fixed it - so far at least
Fast Dormancy is the problem. It was enabled by default and I have turned this off. The connection is now fine and seems to be "always on". For me this is okay because I do not have any data limits or pay per MB for data. I do notice that new connections take a little longer to start (for example, time taken to access internet when opening up an app that is not currently running) . This is not noticeable for apps already running (in the background)
This explains ....

Hi!
I got my Z1C a few weeks ago and so far I was very happy with even besides that SD problem with 4.4.
But for 2 days I am experiencing problems with my wifi connection to the internet. It seems that there is an connection as the app "speedtest.net" can make a speedtest and the measuring comes very close to the speed it should be (43 Mbps on a 50 Mbps cable connection). Whatsapp, ESPN sportscenter and email work also.
But Chrome, PlayStore and others do not.
Connection via 3G is fully functionable.
I already rebooted, reset and set it back but nothing worked.
Has anybody a hint what it could be or even a solution?
Solved
I solved the problem myself.
I had Kaspersky Internet Security installed and there is an option "Web-Filter". After the factory reset I reinstalled KIS, set the stndard browser to Chrome and suddenly my connection was partially gone. Quizduell did not work proprely anymore and so didn't Madden.
I uninstalled KIS but the problem was still there. After a little research on the web I found out that KIS sets a proxy for wifi connections.
So to solve the problem, remove KIS, remove proxies from the wifi connection and never install KIS again
