I have been having random data "stoppage" on my GSM G-Nex since it first came out.
Data will suddenly stop. I can tell when all the bars turn grey and the "+" sign goes away or when I am listening to Pandora or XM/Sirius and it suddenly stops. This is in areas with solid 100% full signal coverage. It happens usually once a day at minimum and at random times.
I have tried numerous ICS roms & radios with the same results. Problem is, I usually don't notice it until long periods go between getting emails or someone asks me "did you get my email?". I check the phone and data is gone.
I have to reboot to get it back.
I know this issue has been around since the beginning of the G-Nex but I am wondering if there has been any actual fix for it either by a hack or from Samsung. It's really annoying. Has JB fixed it 100% or is it a hardware issue?
Search for an app called restart connections. That might be a simpler, if not very elegant, solution. You could schedule it to run every 30min.

I used to get data drops with 4.0.4.
After updating to JB I've yet to have one.

That's good news. I've had a couple JB ROMs (including stock) but there are 2 apps that don't work properly for me that I need. Hopefully that will be fixed soon and I will give JB a shot again. Frankly, I really didn't see too much in JB that made me want it "now" so I am in no rush to upgrade again until my apps are fixed.
Hmm, never had data drops, from 4.0.2 all the way to 4.1.1.
I actually have this problem every now and then. Hate it because sometimes it's when I need the Internet. Gonna give 4.1 a shot since aokp just came out with m1. Hopefully this helps.
Hey. I flashed task's AOKP 8/26 rom and started experiencing strange loading times when on the internet. I just flashed Paranoid Android's rom today and I'm having the same result. SpeedTest app says I only have 40-100ms ping, but takes 5 minutes for it to actually find that data.
It says on the top that I am in '4G'
I don't think it's a throttling issue, I get 20 Mb/s down after speed test finishes
My ping is 95ms, but it takes about 4 or 5 minutes to finish the ping process
I am on the LTE settings that came with my ROM and they are the same as task's as well.
Upload speed is around .84, 4.0, 3.0 MB/s respectively
All Web-browsing, SpeedTest app, Google Music, and Play Store take forever to initially load
Any ideas on what it could be or what I could try? I have tried flashing the latest modem, same result as I had on task's and Paranoid's rom.
I was just about to post a thread on this same issue. Its driving me nuts!
I fist noticed the issue when I flashed from CM9 to CM10. Today I tried task's jb aokp ROM. Same issue. So I flashed cm9, it didn't get any better. Next I'm gonna try Odin back to stock. What's really odd to me is WiFi is unaffected. Only when on 3g/4g.
I've checked my imei, and its still correct. I've tried all 3 available modems.
I'm not to sure what else to try. Hopefully we can come up with a solution.

I had the same exact issues with tasks ROM and paranoid android too lol.. went back to wanam lite 1.3... the T-Mobile jb leak that was ported to our phone I had no issues with so I don't think it has anything to do with jb but I could be wrong...

Have you all with these issues posted these with the ROMS thread and brainstorm with other users of the ROM? You could try that. I personally heard great things about Task's ROMS and paranoids. To make sure, have you all tried wiping EVERYTHING in recovery and i mean wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, before flashing the ROM? You all might have to do that and then report back.

wow, wasn't expecting people with the same issue lol. I checked my Data usage also. Only at 4.1 out of 5 Gigs.
And yes Bruce, thanks for the suggestion. I wipe everything possible before every flash and always have. To the point where I even wipe things twice without realizing. (Cache, Dalvik, storage, system, cache, etc etc, even the eemc).
Tried basic apn settings as well as the 'phone' hdspa+ settings. same issue. reflashed over and over again, problem persists.
AT&T is beginning to work on a major LTE rollout from what I understand. I suspect this is a side effect of preparation. It would be interesting to see what going back to stock does.

That's what I thought too but flashing back to stock with Odin seemed to fix it. Problem started after installing 9-02 cm10.
how are you guys doing on this issue?
i flashed back to stock as well and my problems were fixed.
...really want a modded rom though. think it's a cm10 issue?
Same here. Flashed back yo stock because my h+ was behaving like 2g...seems to have helped quite a bit.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I see similar behavior while stock, have managed to not root and flash yet. Although, in my case it isn't actually 5 minutes, but there's definitely latency, it just doesn't normally show up in the ping time.
A friend with his also at stock (never rooted nor flashed) mentioned he was seeing this as well...
I too have been getting problems. I thought initially that it was due to Task's ROM, but then i went back to CM10. And im still getting these issues. My girlfriend is running AOKP on her SG3 on Tmobile, and she's not getting data issues. Im thinking its a problem with AT&T.
I was about to go back to stock and see how that goes. But since 78c10 says he sees no improvement, then....idk wats going on. =(
stock not rooted. same here.. takes forever for things to load. the connection seems to stall for a bit then kick back in.. has to be something with att not the phone or roms etc..
Having the same issue. Just got done wiping everything and formatting my SD. Still VERY slow. Was going to try stock next.
On task's AOKP.
If anyone finds a solution please post.

Everyone here should post their issues and location because they've been rolling out LTE here in Philadelphia & it caused a lot of the same issues for me & others. It may be completely unrelated but it's a strange coincidence considering how much work they're doing on LTE right now.
Sent from my SGS3 using Apple's patents
It seems to be hit and miss here I just keep rebooting and then I'll get lucky one time and it will have a snappy data connection lol and its universal so I think its an ATT thing. I have been back and forth between stock, ktoonsez, and cm10 today and it isn't bias. I am in fort Irwin, CA right now and am straddling H and H+ but with solid bars... and sometimes I can't even load xda it will take like 5 minutes but what in really find strange is that I can stream Netflix...

A few of us in the Houston area are reporting data connection problems (reported in AOKP thread). Someone stated that Houston has been having problems with their LTE network... This would make sense, as i was at a friends house in the heights on Sunday, and we had full bars LTE and neither of us could connect or stream anything data wise. Now, while I'm on latest AOKP, he has a skyrocket, and is running stock ICS... So it has to be the network.
I live in the Woodlands, and ive been having the same issues up here too (just speed tested, & topped out at 9 mb/s - i remember getting upwards of 40 mb/s when I first got this phone). Really starting to piss me off.
Anyone in the Houston area herd anything from AT&T yet?

Up in Humble, have the same issues. Thought it was something I had done so wiped down everything and flashed tasks from again, then switched to a different one, but saw little improvement. Good to know its at&t maybe and not me screwing something up.

Just to let everyone know my issue was solved by going back to a 8/25 AOKP flash and whola, perfect again.
I would have to say that its related to the current builds. At least on mine.

Hmm...tats weird. I wonder if this is really the problem. Has anyone tried this approach?
I recently flashed the Jellybean RC3 rom and noticed some issues.
Chrome causes my phone to do an automatic restart and I can't find a way around it.
It tends to lag in terms of responding to clicks or movements.
And the big issue for me is that the Play Music app (Google) continues telling me "Music temporarily unavailable Couldn't play the stream you requested." Before I flashed this rom, I had no issues using the app and now I continue to receive these errors.
Does anyone know what could be causing these issues and how to fix them?
Update: I just tried with the Tiny CM10 and it is the same issue.
It worked fine before flashing to these roms. Any idea why that would be?
This is a known bug launching chrome from the dock. Either launch it from your desktop, or another workaround apparently is to put it in a folder in the dock.
I had RC3 for a while, then switch over to CM10. Everything seemed to be a lot more stable, but Chrome also does weird stuff on CM10 as well. Never could get it to work normally on my DINC

I don't like chrome even on the galaxy nexus. Slower and buggy to me. I used to but stock is better.

Chrome wouldn't even start on my Incredible with the RC3 ROM. I would advise using the stock browser until Albinoman works out all the kinks (although the work he's done so far is awesome!). I've also had connection errors before, primarily in the Play Store, retrying a few times seems to work. I always use Wi-Fi and haven't tried cellular data so I can't help you there if you're using 3G to stream.

Maybe something to do with your Android ID changing when flashing these newer ROMs? Though that usually shows itself in problems downloading stuff from the Play Store... but you may need to clear data on the Google Music app, also maybe clearing data on the Play Store may help too.

The main reason I dislike Chrome is because of the space it takes up. It eats up over 30Mb of app data, which on our Dincs is stored in the 150Mb datadata partition. So if you have a reasonable number of apps installed, it's very likely that Chrome will fail to install properly due to there not being enough space to install its data, and it will fail complaining that "your phone lacks functionality critical for running Chrome." In reality, the problem is that Chrome is just too bloated to fit on the limited partitions in our dincs.
(flashing the etx4all nodatalimit mod solves this issue, as does moving all possible apps to the sdcard, but IMHO Chrome is not nearly worth going to all that bother.)
