OK so I just started receiving LOS's a couple days ago and i'v has the phone since the 14th of October. Any way this morning I decided to try going to the ##3282# menu then I went into EVDO option and just clicked on DDTM. I didn't need to change anything. It some how reset the phone signal but when it does it shows a triangle as if it were roaming. If you go into settings and about phone then status it says not roaming. Well I just tried this and thought I'd share.

CLICK ON? You mean turn on or turn off. My phone had it on and I would get LOS a bout 3 times a week. I just turned it off to try.
Off means that a phone call can interupt your data connect, correct?

I've been running CM7 stable since May without any issues. Friday night I visit a friend who's pretty far out and I usually only get 1 or no bars. I tried to look up something on my phone but i got a 'Data Roaming - you have lost data connectivity' notification. I didn't think much of it and turned on Data roaming to use the 1x data for the time. Then the next day at home where i get great connection i noticed i was still on 1x. I turned off roaming and the data connection notification pops up and i can't get any data. I've updated my radios to current releases and even tried reflashing but i still can't get any data. Any suggestions?
Airplane mode?

Good guess but it's not that. I've turned data on and off multiple times to see if i could just reset a connection but it never does. I can't figure this out, i did not change anything and all of a sudden i lost my data :c
Bumpy. I recently got a new battery and tried using my old one but that didn't help either. I'm really at a loss of ideas.
Have you tried reflashing cuz it happen to me on another ROM and I reflashed it and it worked idk give it a shot bruh

My friend since you tried all those other routes why dont you just refresh your data. You will have to flash back to Sense but I think that should do the trick. Get your MSL code from Sprint or the MSL reader in the market and go for it. There should be quite a few threads in google to show you how to do it without call Sprint. Its harmless to try and will refresh everything for you. May not hurt to update prl as well
In the ##DATA# menu, there is a menu tree called EVDO, with a sub selection called "DDTM."
What does this selection actually do? I thought it had to do with calls interrupting data?
I ask because I changed this setting to off, and it fixed the ONE instance I had of the losing the data connection... No reboot required, it just suddenly came back with the roam warning, and I had data again.
And now, even though the setting itself SAYS "ON", when I go to change the setting, "OFF" is actually selected. I still get calls while streaming Netflix, so I'm wondering if something is wrong with this particular piece of the firmware?
im curious to know this too!
With DDTM, whenever you are actively using 3G, it will disable calls as opposed to stopping the 3G in order to take the call. So leaving that off is good, because if you were just chillin' and your phone is in your pocket and it starts syncing...and then you get a call..that call is going straight to voicemail while it finishes syncing.
That's why my wife was pissed, she said she would call and call and i would never answer but my phone never rang. Just changed it to off

Thanks for the insight because I kept getting voicemails without the phone ringing and thought I was just losing my mind

It must have just been a pure coincidence that my data came back (after 5 minutes of no radio indicator, and error 97s) when I toggled that.
I hate coincidences!
Hi, lately I've been suddenly loosing my data connection for 3G/4G, and the only way to solve it is to turn the phone off and on. It seems a random event, sometimes I've noticed it after leaving the phone unused for a while and sometimes while surfing on websites. The icon on the status bar and the signal strength bar doesn't change at all, but still the phone refuses to connect to any website or check email. I've tried turning data on and off, and also going to airplane mode and back to phone, and it doesn't work. I'm on AT&T, with rooted ICS and tethering.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Which baseband you using? I have been using ICS using the .111 baseband with no issues in connectivity for a couple weeks.

I was having this issue yesterday while I was out. I would lose data even though it said I had it. Rebooted and has been fine so maybe some tower issue?? I am on the .111 ics baseband.
I also use the. 111 baseband. I've been using it for a month now, but only noticed the loss of connectivity for the last 10 days or so. Could it be the APN config? I searched around for configs, and noticed that some were missing fota and admin apn types. I've removed them, to see if this makes the problem go away. I've traced the tweaks I did, and I included these two in APN type about 10 days ago.
That has happened to me randomly the past few days, as well, using baseband .111 with rooted ICS. It, however, would not even have the icon that I had internet, the 3G/H/4G symbol would just be missing with only cell service bars. The first time it happened, my APN totally disappeared without me touching anything. The next couple times, the APN was just no longer ticked. Ticking the box (circle) works and I instantly have data again. Hope my situation helps others. I just wish there was a permanent solution to this bug.

It happened again today, I still had the 4G icon (I was in a LTE area) and the APN was still ticked. Again, after a reboot the internet worked normally.
Hey I've been having the same problem too!
At first I thought it was because I was using Straight Talk (prepaid) but I popped in the SIM card on my work phone and started noticing the same thing.
Long story short, I went into "data usage" to disable "set mobile data limit" thinking (what's the point if my data isn't working) and presto! All my emails and fb notifications started spitting out.
I think it was because I had "restrict background data" enabled as well.
While I was having this issue Mms was still working.

Thanks, I'll try doing this and will post back if I don't get the problem after a few days.
===============
After almost a week with the mobile data limit disabled, I haven't lost my data connection yet.
Was on the phone with ATT today and they said the storm did cause some issue with the towers so maybe it will not happen now. I have not seen this issue again after that one time.
Hi I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus and today I simply stopped receiving signal on it. I don't know how or why. I didn't flash anything or even use my phone at all. At one point it was working fine, then I noticed that where my signal bars should be, I have nothing but greyed out bars and an "X" on top of that. This was hours ago. I called T-Mobile(I use T-Mobile Prepay) and they had me do several things like remove battery and sim, and nothing helped. I have a custom ROM(Black Bean). I have used this ROM for weeks with no issue. Just to make sure I did a nandroid and I restored my old Stock-Rooted ROM. Still no signal. I then did a full wipe did a full wipe and installed Black Bean 3.1.2(older version which I know for a fact works fine) on a clean install. Still there is no signal. If I try to make a call, it tells me to turn off Airplane mode before making a call. But I am 100% that Airplane mode isn't on. I can go and turn it on, then back off even. Still I have no signal. I have no way of knowing if this is my phone or T-Mobile having tower problems. I called but they don't know anything since it was the pre-pay support line call center in India.
I have been generally disappointed with T-mobiles service. I would gladly give up the rest of my current month and re-subscribe to Straight Talk with ATTs Towers right now, but I'd have to get service going with them again and that would cost 45 bucks. And it's a waste if there is something wrong with my phone. So now I don't know what to do! =/
Edit: Quick update, I put in my Straight Talk SIM thinking that even if it were out of minutes, it would at least let me connect to the towers so that I can add more. Still nothing. If I hold down power(under stock) it brings up the power screen and that tells me that Airplane Mode is on even though I have it off in settings. If i click on that message, it says "Airplane Mode is OFF" but it isn't really, because if I go out and back in again, it's back to saying that it's on. However, I do have it turned off in my settings. I will also mention that WIFI does work.
Check if you activated the 2G option under Mobile settings. I had a similar issue a few weeks back. Almost drove me mad.

Sounds like your phone is the problem if there's discrepancies about whether airplane mode is on.
My e4gt is flashed to verizon. Saturday I lost my 3g signal so I have no access to the internet. I called verizon and they said everything looks good on their end. My phone appears to be roaming. Or Im getting the triange instead of the 3g icon. I have done the factory reset and reflashed gb27.
Verizon told me to input *228 however when i do it then ask for me to press option 1 but i dont have a keypad and when i try to go to the dialer it takes me back to the screen for the phone activation. If i wait it appears to default to that option 1 and says the activation is complete.
Also my lock screen use to say Sprint on it even though it worked on Verizon. Now it says, "preferred System". I still get phone calls and sms. However when I place a call or receive one it bring ups the data warning.
I also keep getting an error stating, "error 89/: unknown error please try again". Which I would guess has something to do with the lack of an internet connection
Please help I am lost at this point.
Im in the same boat.I had it reflashed but after 2 days i have the same problem. I tried everything but im back to square one
