I've been having data issues that I've addressed in an earlier post but no one's been able to help me, which is understandable, but basically my data gets stuck on the loading screen anytime I try to open a browser tab or app, including the Play Store I've tried everything I can do to fix it but nothing seems to work. Can someone please help me out with a reliable solution?? Thanks

What have you done to try to fix it? And what is your current phone setup?
I want to see your results with speedtest. I'd wager you just have a terrible connection.

Which brings the next question.
To OP, is it a noticeable change from previous speeds in the same location? Or are you just not happy with the speeds you have always been getting?
I am currently running the latest RootBox nightly running android 4.2.2 with a custom theme from the Play Store but the rom is not the issue because this problem occurs no matter what rom I'm running. Touchwiz roms minimizes the amount of times this happens but it still does happen.. I've tried just about every troubleshooting step in trying to fix it including flashing/testing different radios, changing my T-Mobile APNs, reflashing the rom, flashing back to complete stock and doing the whole process all over again, etc.. Nothing seems to fix these data issues. And I don't have a terrible connection. It's not necessarily the best but it's not terrible and I know that because SOMETIMES a reboot would fix it and I would get my normal down/up speeds back but when my data gets stuck I can't even perform a speed test because it fails to search for a server.

As long as your speeds are consistent, you don't have an issue. Every samsung phone I have owned has had the data "hang" annoyance. It will flash the upload arrow, but not download. Usually I just toggle data and it is back to normal.
Yeah my data signal always appears as if it's working but all it does is as you said, HANG. I have to constantly toggle data on/off until it starts working but like I said within a matter of minutes it continues to hang.. It is very irritating, not to mention how I can only take advantage of it for maybe 10 minutes? before the issue progresses. This did not happen before. My data would always stick but now? No matter where I am this issue always happens. If you have any other ideas or advice I'd greatly appreciate it but regardless thank you very much for your assistance.

I've been experiencing the "data hang" for the past 2 or 3 days.. It's definitely the T-Mo network
Yep.. confirmed. It's T-Mo, probably because they launched the new pre-paid plan and they are going to be doing "network management" supposedly to give better access to us contract customers (pre-paid gets slower speeds depending on the amount you pay)
They're probably implementing the new speed governing system and that's why it's all jacked up
Incidentally, I found a awesome resource to use when we are questioning the network:

I dont think tmobiles website has anything to do with "questioning the network". It's quite seperate. Isitdownrightnow only checks websites if they are offline/online, not mobile 4g networks. This is what i assume
You know, you're right.. weird though that their website shows difficulties when they're network was having issues.

Have you tried toggling airplane mode, or a reboot?
yea many times its very frustrating, i am currently in CM9 Alpha 3 and it happened this morning while i was omw to work
I haven't met this kind of case.are you sure that you are right?
yea dont take it wrong but im not a noob when it comes to this its just weird, its been happening for a while now in what ever custom rom i flash
So call Sprint tech support and have them try some steps of their own.
Dont mean to be an ass but what do you think they would solve over the phone, a Factory Reset, update my Profile and PRL, Airplane mode, ive tried all of that

I would flash a modem again, as this did fix my problem when I flashed CM9 and lost data and calls. You won't lose nothing by trying, good luck
Maybe the tower is down? Maybe they will refresh the data from their end? Customer care CAN do some nice things in trouble shooting. Use ODIN to go back to a 100% stock tar and see if it works then!

The issue you are experiencing happen over in the Boston area probably about 4 months ago give or take. So don't panic like I did. I had given up back then, unrooted, and took the phone back into the store telling them my wimax stop working only to find out that all of their phones are going thru the same issue. I would check with the sprint store or ask some one in your area if they are experiencing the same issue.
Me too..

I know this is an old thread but I just got the phone (used) and am having the same problem. It's *stock* JB GB27 (rooted or not) and I have not been able to get any data over 4g even if Wimax says its connected, with an IP address, Gateway, DNS address and says it's active on Sprint. And in a strong WIMAX coverage location. Ping says "host unreachable".
As soon as I turn off 4G, 3G takes over and all is good. To the OP, did you ever discover the cause?
Thanks in Advance.

Wimax sucks even when it is working. Sprint really isnt supporting wimax any longer. What is out there is all you are going to get. If you get it, great good for you. If not, oh well...

That's kinda how I look at it too but I might take up the challenge to try to resolve it or play around with some custom roms now that I am rooted. Maybe go back to Gingerbread and see what happens. I actually liked Gingerbread's app drawer better.

You can try running a more updated rom, such as cm10.1 or gb27. Stay away from any 4.3 rom though, since 4g isn't supported.:good:
Thanks for the responses, so I found something odd when this happens,
I wrote down the stats the phone gave me about my connection, IP,
Gateway and DNS server. Everything checks out as belonging to sprint,
EXCEPT my IP 6.6.2.142. Well, that IP just happens to belong to the
pool of IPs allocated to the US Department of Defense Network!
(checked on a whois server)

Is Sprint/Clear's servers possibly mis-assigning IPs???? This is from 2
totally different Wimax areas but I'm pretty sure that the same IP was
assigned to my phone both times.
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.

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.
Sent from my SGSIII with the XDA Premium App
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.

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.

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?

Hmm...tats weird. I wonder if this is really the problem. Has anyone tried this approach?
I'm having some issues with my connection. I am running stock rooted LJ7. My upload speed reports as .1 using a browser based speed test and any random number between 1 and 100 Mbps using an installed speed test application. It also will not allow me to update PRL or profile.
I had this problem previously and ended up having to restore to an older backup. While that fixed the problem, it is back again and doing a restore and losing data is just a pain.
Things I've tried: having sprint reset the connection, resetting from my end using the dialer, cussing, rebooting, switching to LTE mode and back as well as a few other things I can't think of at the moment as I am half asleep.
Things I haven't tried: factory reset from within the OS, kicking it, factory reset from CWM.
Any suggestions? It's quite annoying. Internet is almost unusable and I cannot send MMS unless on WiFi. (this problem only affects cell radio, not WiFi) Oh, and it also had an awful latency last time it did this but it doesn't seem to be doing it now. Attached are SS of the tests. Do note this is NOT eHRPD.
Thanks.

The second one is hilarious...65mb on upload...though when you flash roms, are you full wiping in between the new rom flashes, not particularly backups?
Uploads tend to be slower in general, though I'd see your sprint store cuz you may have an overloaded network, depending on the time of day.
Yes I do full wipe between ROMs and restores. I've taken the network into account, that's not it. I have a second device with which I check the network speeds and they do just fine. May just end up downloading a fresh ROM and start from scratch.

So i was wondering if anyone else is having this issue.
for reference, I am on VZW, with the 4.1.1 radios (as the updated 4.2 radios had me locked into 3G no matter what, at work)
and i ALWAYS do a complete wipe (data/cache/dalvik/system) between ROM flashes.
4.3 bootloader as well.
anyway, this has been an issue since 4.3 hit my device...anything from pure AOSP to CM builds.
when I am on 3G, the bars will go gray and i cannot pull down data at all. (and yes i know the difference between blue and gray bars, I'm saying ANYTHING will say "network not available" not just google apps)
toggling data on/off fixes the problem. I ususally run into this problem 2-3 times a day and it is ALWAYS on 3G.
its not a huge deal, just more annoying than anything else. just wondering if I am alone here. going to be giving the 4.2.2 radios another chance and see if that fixes things.
Having this exact issue...it's driving me nuts as well. At this point I believe I've tried every radio with no luck. Going to try jumping back to 4.2 soon to see if it solves the issue.
Me too

I love how much fast my GNex is on 4.3, but I don't think I can deal with this data bull**** much longer. Frankly, I'm really getting tired of getting a new version of Android, being happy at first, then finding the HUGE bug that makes my phone a horror to use. WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN THINE VZW GNEX, GOOGLE!?!?
Just an update, as I updated my radios right around the time I updated to 4.3. I just switched back to CM 10.1 and all my data connection issues went away. That means it definitely has to do with 4.3 builds and not the radio firmware.

So happy I found this thread!
I'm having the SAME issue: GSM i9250 on Straight talk ATT sim (apn setting are updated and correct). Stock not rooted; been happening since 4.3 Update. From what I've read even folks on the N4 are having similar issues.
I've factory reset 3-4 times for testing purposes (back to "normal" for about an hour then those pesky gray bars and NO data on 3G/4G).
I have to do the airplane mode toggle every 1/2 hour if I'm really using the internet. Big pain in the ass!
I always rooted my devices in the past and haven't done the GNEX because I always felt stock was smooth enough for my purposes (quasi-work-phone and I need stability). If I have to deal with this bull-sh&% I'm probably gonna have to root and install a 4.2 ROM.
Any-whoo...thanks for letting me rant :^)
Hopefully "kit-kat" will help?

My issue seems to be on 4g as well. If the phone switches from wifi to 4g or if it goes from 4g to 3g and back to 4g it shows a connection with bars but never connects to data again.
I've tried Liquidsmooth, CM Remix, Omni, and now Carbon. Every KK rom shows me the orange no data connection icon. Airplane mode toggle and wifi toggle doesn't work. Reboots only work sometimes. And that's not really a solution, rebooting my phone every 5 minutes. Why is this happening?
I only home that you switched all these ROMs with clean installs. Did you?
Of course

yeah.. maybe your baseband version (radio.img) didnt suited you.
maybe broken driver ~ reflash kernel with wifi driver works for me. ( changing rom didnt change anything to radio/driver setting)
My old 4.2.2 JBSourcery gets signal just fine. And for some reason Omni gets better than the others but still cuts out.

rom can affects data coverage from the Rils files (in libs). usually continuously using 4.3 rils right now cause google doesn't update for gnex. gnex roms still on progress in this. CM & slim update the coverage issues so far. dont know wt others. sorry if im wrong..

I dont know what carrier you are on but when I was using my Verizon Galaxy Nexus, every ROM I flashed usually had no data on first boot. I got in the habit of rebooting the phone before I even went through the setup and after that, data had no issues. It was a known thing. Toggling airplane mode and 3g/LTE was also known to cause issues at one point. So if you clean flash, boot up and let it sit for a few seconds before going through the google setup. If data doesnt automatically connect, reboot right away. It should connect fine after that.
Yeah I'm on Verizon now. Hopefully making the switch to T-mo in about a month. The problem is not that data doesn't connect at all, the problem is that it will drop out and never come back. I live in Boston and in the subway I will lose the signal underground and it will never come back. Also my office is right in the main downtown area and I barely get a 3G signal no matter what. I know my signal strength isn't part of this problem. It's the data connection somehow becoming disconnected and staying idle that is stopping me from staying on KK.

Since you're on Verizon check shiny Rom. The guys there have done a lot of tweaking to improve data.
The reason data is problematic is partially since the gnex is no longer supported and the toro variant has had no officially android release since 4.2.2 and the ril and telephony stack have changed how they work with cdma in both 4.3 and 4.4. I believe the toro uses a bit of an older radio. Is this a problem when you disable 4g as well?

I've gotta say that Shiny ROM is just about flawless. I've never had issues getting or keeping a data connection when there's signal. I'm using the FK01/FK02 radios from 4.2.2 and the 4.2 bootloader.
I'll give my little testimony here: a basic stock rom will get you farther than a fully-featured one. I've heard the expression "mo' features, mo' bugs" and that seems to fit quite well. I'm not aware of any features in any rom that you can't get from one xposed module or another, so that's what I've been doing. I'd say give it a try and see if your data issues are resolved for good.
Shiny has always worked fine for me. I run latest everything.. bootloader, radio. CM I think worked fine for me but was ugly. Paranoid Android seems to have some connectivity issues.. I wish someone could solve this data issues. Maybe it is time to leave my nexus behind Just been waiting for another verizon nexus

I've tried Liquidsmooth, CM Remix, Omni, and now Carbon. Every KK rom shows me the orange no data connection icon. Airplane mode toggle and wifi toggle doesn't work. Reboots only work sometimes. And that's not really a solution, rebooting my phone every 5 minutes. Why is this happening?

I've got about 7 different Nandroids and have been switching between them to test. CM Remix which I believe is based on Slim seems to be working OK. I tried Slim this morning but still got a lot of data cut-outs

wow.. lot of roms tested. that pretty brilliant idea for solving this. just use the best. data networks really different for each country.
* i found out a different in apn setting wt different rom. slim rom only captured 4g by my local provider (APN). when im tried asob its give choice in Apn setting ( 3g /4g). my country not fully h+ at several area. so changing to 3g got better network (better low than nothing)

I don't think that applies to CDMA
