Anyone having data issues? My data either doesnt work today or is EXTREMELY slow to respond. Wondering if its sprint or my phone.
Hey I had the exact same issue yesterday. Data would not work for nothing, but I just restarted my phone and it started to work
Sent from my GirLie Evo with Tapatalk
Yeah Ive restarted, installed a new rom, went to a backup. Nothings working right. Also all free apps that Ive uninstalled are staying in my downloads tab. Seems everything started after the 3.30 update.
I'm having an issue with all Google sites on my phone...on 3G and on 4G. I'm in the Chicago area. It was working ok for a bit early this morning, but seems to be completely down now.
Other sites work perfectly fine and as expected.
Same issue here NE Indiana...guessing a network problem. Restarting didn't solve data being slow. I just turned off background sync so that it doesn't kill my battery waiting on data.
Data issues here!!! Chicago - This blows
Hmm, seems like its this region. Im in Detroit. Sprints seriously getting on my nerves with the constant data issues Im getting here.

Way better than AT&T in my experience where data doesn't work half the day in Chicago and VZW where data is stuck on 1XRTT inside my office IMO. Hopefully they clear this up ASAP.
I came in here to say I'm having problems with google.
Every other site works fine, just not google.
I installed a new ROM and I can't even connect to google. I'm just going to wait it out and hopefully it resolves itself.
Another Chicagoan with Data Problems
Glad to hear that I'm not alone with data issues in Chicago. The problems appear to be intermittent and only on Google related sites/apps such as the Market and Gtalk.
Hope these problems clear up soon.
Same with me in Indianapolis, IN with google with trying to use market.
i too have been experiencing the same problem. But with mine if my 3g is on, it has a hard time trying to sync anything under gmail. If 4g is on it do the contacts and calender with no gmail. sorry for so much detail i was testing it cuz of all the things you guys were saying.
At first i was thinking a remote wipe with any roms with the new 3.30 update on it... just a thought.

I thought it was 3.30 at first, did a nandroid backup and same problems arise.
I'm in Miami, anyone else from my area have problems?
I wonder if its just sprint or google? So for now I just turn of sync. I hope this gets resolved soon!
I think this is on Google's end. I flashed a new ROM this morning, and was able to update everything except for Google services and FB with no issues.
THIS IS STARTING TO SUCK BIG TIME!
I was having the same problem I changed roms, rebooted pulled battery etc. No avail. I was running cm6.1 and realized that I didn't know how to update the profile so I flashed a sense rom updated profile and bam all was good again. Hope this helps someone.
Flash your first backup that should be a sense rom or a sense rom and update the prl and profile then flash back to the rom of you choice that you are using.
I am testing this right now myself to see if this solves the issue. I will report back as soon as my cm6 nightly is done flashing back.
That did not do it for me. I have the sync symbol on my top bar stuck there... I think I am going to diable sync till later on and hope google works it out.
Any one else?
I'm running Myn's stock rooted 3.29 Rom. The reason I see that the sync symbol stuck is because contacts, gmail, or calendar seem to be trying to update.
I tried calling sprint to see if there was an outage, but of course, they suggested a factory reset. Umm, no thank you.
This seems to be an intermittent Sprint network problem, because it works for a minute or two, then goes back to not working.
Does anyone who is NOT rooted have this same problem?
I just called the bastards at sprint and as always they want you to wipe the damn phone and start over. That must be the fix all for them. Screw what the customers have setup on their phone it doesn't matter let them just do it all again.
Waiting for contract to be up so I can switch to big red and get a Droid X.
. I'd like some help to try and find a solution to this problem. It seems all instant messenger apps have very delayed messages most of the time.
Gtalk & Google+ messenger- are extremely unreliable for me. Up until about 3 months ago they worked flawless, I'd get notified of a message as soon as it was sent, be it on 4G or Wi-Fi. Now, 90% of the time I'll only get the message if I go into the app. And yes all settings and notification settings are turned on to sync. Sending is never an issue. And if I stay in the application messages are pretty reliable although not 100% reliable. I will get instances where it won't receive messages even when I'm in the app. My cell reception and router is always near perfect reception.
Whatsapp messenger more reliable in that messages will come through within a half hour if they aren't coming through. Although if I'm in the app its quite flawless. This app is much more unreliable when on Wi-Fi. With 4G its actually reliable. What I do notice though when going into the app with Wi-Fi and its not syncing up is that the up arrow on Wi-Fi will be flashing but no down arrow. Once the down arrow begins turning on everything works.
To note is that I have tried switching to a stock rom to no help, same things happen. Tried uninstalling all these apps, and done a clean install, still no help. I have other phones in the house, a galaxy S, and these apps all work the way they should on both 4G and Wi-Fi. So I know it should and can work. All my emails from Gmail come through just fine as do my Google+ notifications from people replying on posts. So any help will be greatly appreciated as I want to get to the bottom of this. Currently running on CM9 stock kernel, with uglc1 modem and newest boot loader.
Anyone? I can't be the only one with this issue...
I am having this problem on the stock radio, UGLC1, and XXKK6 too
I think its something updated within the Google Talk apps?
I started having the same issue after the OTA 4.0.4 came out.
Has anyone resolved this?
from what i have seen, its the google push service (used from gtalk, gmail, whatsapp, and every push app) that sometimes do some sleep..had this on my previous device also sometimes
when people say "before was working" "now is not working well anymore" it depends from how much attention u give to it...
the push service require a constant connection to the google services, sometime this connection hang or stops, usually after 10 minutes i can see this connection is restored and chat messages, mails, etc, come all together (or if u dont want to wait, disable and enable the conenction again, or disable/enable synch)

I've had this problem for almost a year now.. Ever since I went from iOS to Andriod.. On my HTC.. What I noticed is when my phone goes into sleep it's all over, I guess it falls into a deep sleep.. When I awake it all message from all messengers comes flooding through. I thought maybe it was a software problem and all problems would disappear after upgrading to android 4.0 from 2.3.. But still the same.. Same as you everything works fine when the phone is alive, wifi or 3G.. So I was thinking its HTC and about to upgrade to Samsung S111 so touch wood that works ok..

My nexus 4, does the same thing.. ANNOYING!
On my HTC One X (Orange Android 4.0.3, HTC Sence 4.0 Software 1.29.061.11) I have a common problem where I don't get a text message until I press the "Power" button at the top of the phone. As soon as I do, the phone beeps and vibrates, and displays the message on screen. The text message will have a time stamp of many minutes before (maybe 15/30 minutes). If I don't keep checking my phone, I don't receive messages!
Its like the phone is in a deep sleep and isn't receiving messages.
Has anyone else had this problem?

It may have something to do with HTC SmartSync.
Yes I know it is only supposed to between the hours of 12(Midnight) and 7AM, but it may not be de-activating for you.
Also is it constantly, or intermittent?
i noticed this before, but havent since the 2.17 update - maybe this is what fixes it..
Are you using wifi and set it to turn off while your screen is off? That might be problem.

Wifi isn't responsible for the text messages assuming it's sms
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Yes its SMS message, not on Wifi.
I don't recall ever setting up SmartSync, can you advise what to check/disable?

No, SmartSync is enabled by default, HTC though they were being clever but it has cause no end of issue.
There was an app that you could use to disable it, but it has been removed from the Play Store
Im sorry I cannot help you further but I can almost guarantee this will be your cause.

but isn't smart sync for wifi/data?
if so it wouldn't, or at least shouldn't affect the sms

SmartSync only disables data connections (WiFi and mobile data) from 0.00 to 7.00, so I highly doubt it has anything to do with your problem. I have noticed I sometimes get the sms notification when I turn on the screen, but never more than 2 minutes after the SMS has actually arrived. On some CM-based ROM's there is an option for the SMS app to show the time the text was sent, as opposed to the time your device received it, and there are delays caused by the network sometimes, so there may be nothing wrong with your phone.
I suggest you install Ghostly SMS. It will essentially double your SMS notification (unless you purchase the donate version, which will remove it once your SMS app displays its own), but it's always fast and reliable - you will see it gets the SMS a fraction of a second before the system's notification appears. I've been using it since there was a problem with messages not being received on a CM7 Nightly for my old Desire and it has never failed.
I noticed last night, around 7/8PM (UK TIME!) that when I switched my screen on, my WiFi and Signal reconnected.
I am having the same issue as you, my Network and Connections turn themselves off with the screen haha !
ANYONE FOUND A SOLUTION!?

This used to happen to me at random very annoying it turned out that it was firefox opened in the background that caused it so i just use chrome now. Dont know if this is the same problem.

Yeah no signal bars, with the red cross over.
And Wifi has no bars also, and is grey'd out as it looks when you are on very low signal?
It either only stays like that for long enough for me to notice it, or it never re-connects and I have to restart my phone.
Any one know a cause/solution?

that's definitely not smart sync doing that - not for the phone signal anyway
have you got the phone set to wcdma only ?
if you haven't tried already, then try take the sim card out, clean it, blow into the sim slot in case of dust etc and then put back in and try again
what rom are you using? and what mods if any?
Edit: just seen your sig, if you're on stock then its easier to diagnose at least. try and boot the phone in safe mode for a few hours, check if it continues to do it or not

The mobile signal just disappearing at random happened to me when I traveled to Italy, but it must have been something with the netwrok, since it only happened there. However, I had no problem at all with WiFi.
The fact that both of your connections have bad signal makes me think of a either hardware issue or a bad radio. I've never flashed a radio on my HOX, but maybe a RUU could help. Or you might have to take your phone to the service...

I think its when I travel a big distance in a certain amount of time, I read that some where else. Say if you got in a car, drove around town for a bit (Which is what I did when I noticed) then the signal goes wierd, continue doing it and its as though it gives up trying to chace you round and just thinks, theyll sort me out when im needed (yes im talking as though im bar of signal haha)
The quote below also stacks up, as he was traveling in italy?

Can you try and help me find n RUU, but I don't think i'll use it as theres too much data on my phone to lose
HTC have agreed to a repair already about the WiFi, but I don't want them anywhere near my phone, once you've purchased they dont care. I USED TO LOVE HTC ! Now they have made me think they dont care about the customers.
Perhaps I should ask about the radio issue also?!

I see now your signature says you're still on stock ROM. If that's the case, you might not need an RUU, a simple Factory Reset might do the same job. RUU's are different for different carriers, so I can't find one for you, but you will find them all here. If your phone is not branded (i.e. without simlock or any custom software by your carrier), look for one that has 401 in the name, such as this one RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe
What data do you have to back-up? You can transfer all your files to your PC or store them on a cloud service (Dropbox, Drive etc) and you can backup your apps & data with adb as shown here.
If it is a radio issue, however, you may well have to take it for repairs. I don't know where you live, but I've always heard nothing but the best about HTC's repairs, they even accepted (free of charge) phones that had beed dropped on concrete or in a tank full of water, which is one of the main reasons I stay away from Samsung (along with TouchWiz, low-quality materials and more, but I'm getting too off-topic).
Good luck and tell us how it went! :good:
Thanks for the replies, I'm just going to hope that the ICS/Jellybean updates over the next few months help.
BTW, I dont use the Firefox browser. Thanks
On my home screen I keep getting this message, No data, tap to refresh. My signal light ggoesfro blue to white wwhich won't allow me on the Internet. Phone and text works though.

Have you done anything lately ? ROM you are on ?
This is a google services issue. Happened to me and my wife's S2's about a year ago. Data just went out. Gray signal bars. Talk and text only. Don't bother calling your carrier's tech support. They are clueless. Our connection was down for 8 hours and then just came back. Very odd. I've heard of users swapping between apns/reboots, clearing the data in the Google services framework, deleting and re adding their google accounts. Not sure if any of these work or if you'll have to wait it out like we did. Keep us posted

I am running the latest Cynaogen 10 rom. Data signal has been gray most of the day only going blue once in a while. No data as I type now.
Just to rule out a ROM issue, flash back to rooted stock. Cm has weird issues for some users at random times.

have you seen anything online anywhere with other users experiencing the same thing in your city/area? my wife was running a tw rom and i was on one of tasks. at&t said they saw our phones fine and didnt see any network issues...not that they know right from left. did you research the google services framework at all? i'll keep my eyes out
and i agree with mrhaley. i would revert to stock and see if that fixes your issue
Every since Verizon pushed the Lollipop update to my N4, my "Mobile Data" turns back on all by itself after it has been disabled. It even turns back on when I am connected to wifi.
Has anyone else experienced this and if so can you please explain how I may fix this.
Thanks in advance.
Not exactly that but I have noticed that now I'm always on 3g when I'm usually on 4G all day long same area this is crazy
Mine is also randomly turning on Mobile Data too after the Lollipop update. I have a small data allotment with VZW, this could send me into overages.
I seen on one thread, searching through your downloaded apps to find out which ones have "change network connectivity" in the permissions. I happen to have 6 of them. Some you can disable, but it removes the updates, other you cant disable without removing it.
Another recommendation was hitting settings from the pull down menu, wifi, advanced, then uncheck the "smart network switch". Mine wasn't checked to begin with, so I'm out of ideas til I start removing apps one by one...
The data has been turning on by itself during sleep time on my Note 4. It caused the phone to use 500mb of data in one nite. My data is always off, wifi is only on when using the phone otherwise it's off too. I called Verizon and they have no clue. This is my 2nd new Note 4 for myself & my wife, nothing but problems. Think we are going to switch to anything other than a Samsung phone.
Well, I've systematically removed all 6 apps one at a time. The Youtube and Facebook apps, I was only able to disable them instead of removing them completely. In the end, the phone still turns on Mobile Data by itself. This must be something internal with Lollipop. I have a small data allowance and I'm afraid its going to go over simply because it wont stay OFF even with WiFi available!!
I would call customer service and have them ship you out a replacement. This is our 3rd phone and hopefully it will work as it should. Good luck
Outcast,
I've had my Note4 since it was released in November. It didn't have this problem with 4.4 Kitkat. It's something new with Lollipop and I doubt a new phone would solve this problem, could be wrong.
How involved is it to go back to Kitkat?
I'm not chancing voiding my warranty. They replaced my phones by them and not by request. Our phones get hot and get a warning then shuts down, apps close constantly and the phones consistently reboot on their own. Then the data turning on by itself. The other problems I don't think are software based but hardware failures. The data can very well be software related.

I have the same problem and i used up so much of my data when i am at home where the wifi connects automatically on everything else. On kit kat this never happened and i am attempting a downgrade so you might want to try that.
I was having the same problem with mine. I also live on the edge of 4g area, so it was constantly swapping between 3g and 4g. In addition to using some data it was killing my battery swapping between 3g and 4g. Using almost 10% per hour when not being used. I disabled most of the verizon stuff, support and protection, Verizon navigator, caller name id, message+, and verizon location. I turned off facebook location reporting in the app settings, and disabled google location. I did all these a couple at a time and would reboot to see if it fixed the problem and after all those were done i rebooted and wiped the cache and the prblem was gone. I turned google location back on so far and its still working the way it is supposed to. It shows a greyed out 3g symbol and my battery life is much better. My phone sat off the charger all night and only dropped 4% and in 5 hours of moderate use its down to 77% left. Wish i knew exactly which app was causing the problem to help you out better but hopefully you can try those apps and settings and get the same results.
Well it worked for about 3 days, but this morning data and wifi were both running again.
Data usage Samsung Galaxy Note 4
Been having the same problem even when I disconnect data ten or fifteen minutes later data is back on. And I've noticed even if I am connected to Wi-Fi data trumps it and I end up using a ton of DATA when I've been connected to Wi-Fi all day, getting seriously upset cause I never used this much data before.
I have same problem with my Note3 running Lollipop. Have tried every suggestion I can find to turn off data, but it is still runs, unless I am on wifi. Data is set to off, 4g symbol in notification bar is greyed out, but data is still on. I have found forums all over the Web with other people with this problem, but no solution yet. My phone is unlocked but not rooted.
