I followed the instructions in this thread and I now have the latest Android software and root on my C6506. However, my mobile data has been randomly deactivating, usually about every 6-12 hours. I go to Settings > Wireless & networks > Internet Settings and it "downloads settings", and it works again. The APN settings are all correct for my carrier, and as far as I can tell, the downloaded settings don't actually change anything. This has happened for several days now, so I don't think it's a carrier issue, and there are no issues with wi-fi, calling, or SMS.
Any ideas?

Change your APN Protocol to IPV4
I had the same problem and i just figure it out right now myself.
Thanks, I will give that a try.

I got a desire from three before they started branding/locking them. So I have a unbranded desire, and did the FroYo OTA update.
Now the only connectivity I have is WIFI and normal signal for calls. No G, 3G or H.
What do? ..
fixed... :S
They told me to change my home page to their planet 3 and it worked..
still works when i change it back to google though
I have this problem too, exactly which settings did you change?
I faced same issue with another operator.
I check and found that APN settings was deleted.
You should try adding the APN settings again.

thanks that solved it!
and just posting for any other noobs like me!
click 3 under settings->wireless&networks->mobile networks->access point names
does your 3 skype client work with the official upgrade? I did not seem to work with the custom froyo roms
Same problem here but I can confirm that the APN setting needs to be re-enabled and then it's all good to go again. Panic averted!
Running 2.3.3 Generic UK ROM, boot loader locked, not rooted, just completely stock!
As soon as I enable tethering (wifi or usb) the phone drops the data connection (H, 3G, etc. disappears from the notification bar) and my laptop says connected but no internet connection, as soon as I disable tethering the data connection comes back.
I have tried disabling and re-enabling data whilst tethered and it will flick up for a second then disappear again!
This is really annoying as I used to use tethering quite a bit with my X10 Mini!
Any idea's welcome!
Thanks!
After some googling it seems I'm not the only one with this problem, but no solutions yet...

It's quite a big problem IMO, one of the major functions I want to be able to use and cant!!
i had exactly the same problem, sent the phone off to sony ericsson for repair, waiting for it to come back.... see what happens...
Oh, it works now very well. I just deleted the old wifi-network connections on the computer and now its flawless.
i am experiencing the same problem. I could tether nicely with my X10 and now with my newer and faster Arc, I can't share wifi, which is annoying when I'm out with my ipad and need a wifi connection
SE! we need a fix ASAP!
I've done some tethering with 3.0.1.A.0.145 and it worked flawlessly? Multiple devices at the same time, all of them had pretty smooth internet!
Lucky you!! lol
This problem still exists for me, I try again everynow and then and have only had it work once with a friends iPhone4 connected.
Does it help if you put ",dun" under APN settings>APN Type ?
If there is something already under APN type field just put a ",dun" next to it, save settings and try it by turning on Wifi hotspot.
Or if the field is empty just put there "default,dun" save setting and try.
Hope it helps.
My APN is default,supl and it works perfectly!

I have the same issue! Any help??
This worked for me!!!!
All you need to do is go to Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names
Select your active APN
Scroll down to "APN Type" and click on it
Add ",dun" to the APN Type of your active APN. eg APN Type = "default,supl,dun"
After editing this, you should be able to turn on the Portable Hotspot without the 3G mobile data connection dropping out.
Many thanks guys! I just added ",dun" to mine. Now tethering using this (Rogers) to write this reply!

Heavy Googling mate! lol
Been bugging me since I got the phone two months ago!
I upgraded to 2.3.3 on a Droid 2. I unlocked and rooted the phone but the Wifi no matter which program I use goes to the Verizon site which warns me that I have to pay twenty dollars a month. Has anyone fixed this yet or is there a URL I can go to to solve this issue? If not can someone provide me with a one click fix to go back to the Froyo, and an URL for that?
I flashed my Xperia PLAY last night, with a UK .ftf. I originally had a US .ftf (or I assume, I live in canada). It's asking if I'm on Rogers or Fido whenever I try to use my data network and it didn't before I flashed it. I don't seem to get 3G network anywhere, except very few places in my town, when I used to get it everywhere. I'm not sure if coincidentally the Rogers 3G networks are down or not. I'm downloading a supposed "rogers branded 2.3.3" .ftf, hoping it solves this. I just want to know if the reason I'm not getting 3G is because I flashed with a UK .ftf?
Oh, the reason I flashed was because my Xperia PLAY somehow bricked itself. I hadn't done any modding or root attempts whatsoever before this. I had only learned of flashing yesterday.
If you haven't set your APNs yet, you'll need to do so. Generic UK didn't get a 3G signal before I did that. APN settings are in Settings > Wireless Controls > Mobile Networks.

Ah thank you, that fixed it. I have a question though, I found on the internet the APN settings for 3G and for MMS. However I can't enable both. Or does the 3G one include MMS?
To be honest, I'm not sure. MMS on my phone has always been hit or miss. I think the 3G APN works for both.

Hm, alright. Thanks for the help!
There's two sets of settings floating around out there. One has both Data and MMS. The other has two, one for data and one for MMS. Only the data one of the two needs to be selected. MMS will just work.

How for I update radio?
Edit: If you want this edit on the Oreo update (I just received it today) you must add the APN before updating. They have remove the button to add a new APN.
If it is added before you update it will stick!
I have only tested this on my sprint V30+ and am assuming it also works on the Sprint V30 and probably also the G6 but i cannot test them
also this should work on all the providers that require dun be active in the apn.
Even though the apns are locked(grayed out) and we cannot edit them they still allow us to add new ones.
so i tried adding an new apn with all the same settings as the default "internet" apn but adding in ,dun.
Worked Flawlessly! hotspot activated no hesitation.
Those of you who have other providers an wanna try you will need to get your default APN.
If your on sprint yours is probably the same as mine so you may skip to step #2.
Step #1
To view your current apn settings without your msl you open the dialer and type in ##debug# (##33284#) to open the hidden debug menu.
click on "Active APN Connections" and click on the default internet APN (Mine is titled "internet").
you can view all the settings but once again you cannot edit but right down your settings and then move on to step #2.
Step #2
now that you have your APN settings open settings and click More - Mobile networks - Access Point Names.
hit the 3 dot settings icon then hit add APN.
For Sprint only change the fallowing items leave everything else alone.
Name - hotspot (this can be anything you want)
APN - x.ispsn
Username - null
Password - null
APN type - default,mms,dun
APN protocol - IPv4/IPv6
others who decide to try this add all your settings in but like always add ",dun" to "APN type"
Now hit the 3dot menu again and save and thats it you should now see your new APN in the list of locked ones.
you do not have to do anything else in that menu just go turn on your hotspot and enjoy.
This method also holds through reboots.
Also...
Even though it is not grayed out you still cannot edit the new APN. if you make a mistake or just wanna make adjustments
you must hit Restore default settings in the 3dot menu and start all over again.
Edit
If Restore default settings does not show up in your menu after adding a new APN you can still reset them by typing ##scrtn# into your dialer an hit ok

I'm wandering cause mine is uicc unlocked due to mine being bought outright I'm just curious if that makes a difference.

I had the same issue when I first figured this out I was at work testing it with my buddies phone and it would connect but no internet seemed to go through but then I went to hotspot settings and changed it to 5 GHz and it worked fine I changed it back to 2.4 right after and it worked fine from then on even on his phone (I wanted mine in 2.4 GHz because my car does not support 5 GHz )

I bought mine outright but they won't unlock it. Sprint said it has to be on their network for 50 days before they will unlock it. How did you get yours unlocked? I'm calling back today 50 days is ridiculous..
question...does this work with T-Mobile to bypass the speed limitation for included HotSpot?

Had the same on my wife's P6. The connection would appear briefly, the call sometimes would go through but then connection lost and asked to switch off plane mode by the system. Tried 3 different sim cards, hard reset etc.
Filed a return and her new phone is working as it should now.
That sux, as mentioned an RMA may be needed...
Started happening to me when I updated to v37. It was fine until then. I'll probably flash the old radio image later on tonight.
Edit: nvm, the radio.img is the same between 36 and 37. It is odd that this just started happening in the last 24-48h.

I've read on the link i posted that a guy rma 3 time with the same issue ....
If someone figures out a fix, please let me know. I am getting desperate here.
Been eyeballing the device ...from LTE to No Service..back to H+ than picking up signal again rotating for about 4-10 mins
Now I'm testing out turning off adaptive connectivity under network and internet sitting inside my office now.
Fixed on my end.
Settings> Network and Internet> Setting bolt icon next to my mobile carrier (T-Mobile)> Access Point Name> Created my own with the same settings from my carrier (T-Mobile) but with "APN type" only having: default,supl,mms,DUN
The rest of the APN stuff seemed to break my mobile data.
Hope this works for others too.

Interesting. Did you contact T-Mobile or Google and asked about this?
This seems like the type of issue that should be easy to replicate.
I would suggest to contact Google either way, since your phone might have a hardware issue (partially defect antenna or whatever) and you need to sort this out, before you run out of warranty and get problems later down the road (fix not working anymore).

So do you mean go into SIM card network page where you can see APN volte etc....under APN and create a new APN but with the exact same setting from the carrier ?

This worked for me. Thanks bro!
I started by turning off 2G. Worked for about 3 or so days. Then the issue came back. So, I turned off WiFi calling because I read somewhere that it was causing issues. I haven't had the problem since. It's only been a few days though. FYI I'm on Verizon.
I'm pretty sure it's yet another bug on the long list of them on this phone..
Go into settings > Network and internet > Sims click your provider there scroll down to Preferred network type change to LTE. I figured this out on my wife's phone. You'll loose 5g but it'll get you by temporarily until you figure out a better solution.
