Phantom 3G connection?

I'm using Schaps 4.30 on my tytn and I've noticed that my 3G connection is connecting automatically at random times, especially through the night, and as far as I can tell no programs are open that would use data. The only thing open is activesync. Then I check my bill to find out that it is in fact sending 1k-300k amounts of data. Since I don't have but a 1meg data plan this is pissing me off.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Well, if you turn off your 3G connection capabilities via the comm manager, it will not only save u battery but none of those random connections will happen either. If u need it on u can easily turn it back on.

Well, sure, I could turn it off at night, I could turn off the whole phone as well. But I'd like to be able to receive my text and multimedia messages.
*edit* The 3G connection itself is not specific to the problem, I just meant a general connection.

Maybe today plugins, like weather, want to update their data? Disable all today plugins and see.

Well SMS and MMS messages can still come thru on Edge...3G is just faster.
You might try this. Got it from here.

Lol, I know messages still come in through Edge, I wasn't meaning to be specific to the 3G connection, just that it's connecting in general.
It did it again last night. I'm going to flash to Schaps 4.31 and see if that helps.
Thanks for the advice guys.

Im assuming you have push mail enabled correct? (or an activesync account somewhere?)

Same Problem
I've got the same problem. I'm using the default HTC WWE ROM. At random times, sometimes twice a day, my "Rogers Internet" data connection (GPRS, EDGE or 3G) connects automatically and doesn't disconnect. If I catch it happening and click cancel, it tries again. It will not give up until the connection has been established for at least 10 seconds.
I've gone through every program I have, checking to make sure the auto update option is disabled (if there is an auto update). I do not use the direct push and therefore, activesync schedule is greyed out.
Any ideas?

AT&T decided that it was my phone and replaced it, sure enough that did the trick. I wouldn't imagine that it's always a hardware issue though, since many people seem to have had this same problem. Simple things like today plugins or maybe just hitting the "X" while signed into MSN Messenger instead of signing out before closing the program. Things like that could contribute to the problem. Hope you're able to get your fixed.
Thanks for the help everyone.

Had the same problems, resulting in extra fast battery drain.
I think I fixed it by flashing a newer radio ROM, but then again my battery still drains very fast since flashing TNT's 6.1 ROM.
Not so sure what's going on...

After Flashing the New HTC ROM Can't Browse the Internet

I'm able to received emails but can't browse on Opera or Explorer.
Media Net connection is active.
Please help!
This new ROM has been really awful to say the least....

Will probably help if you say what service, and rom, most of the time you don't have to flash w/an official rom either...

Really? What would you call it?

I flash the new HTC Tilt 2 (AT&T) ROM Update 2.10.502.4

The phone was acting really unstable, no HTC Sense on startup, the zone identification keep coming up everytime the phone wakes up, most of the times you try to wake up the phone, it won't do anything.
So went ahead and reflash again. Everything seems to be working right now exept that I can't browse the web. Emails are coming in fine, the updates the location on weather, etc. But still can't browse either Opera or Explorer.
Any suggestions?

is it still flashing if you are not unlocking your phone and just downloading the new "official" rom from the official site?
I Read a thread here the other day saying it wasn't the same thing, maybe I just had bad information.
When I read the thread on flashing roms it's a lot more complicated...but maybe that's just the difference between a custom and official flash?
I'm probably just misinformed, you tell me

Do you get the.."Can't make a data connection at this time" message, or are these browsers just not working/not coming up?
Have you tried on wifi, to discern whether this is a data connection problem or the actual browsers?
I had no problems when I updated my rom, just a few minor annoyances at some changes I didn't care for.
You could always try it again.

Any time you replace the ROM it is considered flashing. The fact that custom ROMs on this phone require HardSPL and factory ROMs don't is irrelevant. The ROM replacement procedure is still considered a flashing.

Still can't browse the web :-(
Any suggestions?

This happened to me a few months ago - nothing to do with a new ROM. Everything that used the internet worked including emails, texts, stock updates, etc - but no internet.
I used WiFi to download opera 10 beta and then installed it and was able to browse to my heart's content. I eventually ended up having to do the dreaded hard reset a while later (for other reasons) and after the reset both the native opera and ie worked fine.
See http://forums.wireless.att.com/t5/AT-T-HTC/Tilt-2-Internet-Connectivity/td-p/1933813
btw - I did upgrade to the new ROM and lost no internet issues but DID cure a curious problem - before the upgrade neither google maps or bing maps would work. No maps at all but it did "locate" me with the gps. After the new ROM google maps is working great. Go figure,

Are you using MediaNet for your connection? Try creating a new connection using wap.cingular instead. MediaNet stopped working for me last month for some odd reason and AT$T had no clue why. Switched to wap.cingular and all is well.

[Q] [!!] Help! I can no longer make phone calls :(

Hello,
I have a Galaxy Nexus with the stock ROM. Rooted running 4.0.2. I had Market Enabler running to switch to the T-Mobile Network. This setup had been working fine for a couple of weeks now. All of a sudden today, after I visited the Google Play store online for some reason I can now no longer make phone calls!
Market Enabler will not load any longer at all. It doesn't force close, I just get a blank screen. I tried removing it's root permissions. Then clearing the cache and deleting it but no good. I tried reinstalling it, no good.
Anyone have any ideas? I've tried rebooting the phone a couple of times and no help either!

I've tried restoring from backup using the Rom Manager to the original and still doesn't work!

I'm kinda bumping so that I get help!

phone calls are not related to market enabler..
what else u did on ur phone? we need other infos
sms works?
ur phone show signal?
3g works?
or only calls doesn't work?

Thanks for replying. Nothing works, no SMS, no 3G. Wifi does, but nothing related to the "sim". The network signal comes and goes, but I can't do anything related to it.

If u go in settings - info about ur phone, can u see ur baseband radio info or there is some "unknown" ?
That would mean ur efs partition get corrupted probably, which is not good sometimes

Rooted&Unlocked Nexus can't make calls or SMS; connects to internet ok from network
I'm having a similar problem. Got the nexus from a friend and tried to activate it on my phone line and the Verizon tech reps say it looks like the activation is "stuck at the switch". Checked the ESN (clean), checked authenticity (ok), not on a lost/stolen list... can't figure out what the issue is.
Any suggestions? this has been pretty frustrating...
A bit of background:
- Did a factory data reset (wiped devlik, data, cache)
- Getting 4G signal; can connect to the internet/sync data
- 3 new SIM cards attempted in the past 3 days; currently on 1 for the past day
- Tried *228, updated roaming; can't activate phone (says call a rep)

Try a factory reset. A friend of mine had an issue about making phone calls on his Galaxy S II and a few reboots made the phone talk again.
Alternatively, shut down the phone, pull battery for a few hours. Put battery back in phone, boot up. Sometimes things get a little FUBAR'd and battery pulls can solve some problems.

still not working...
Looks like things went through the verizon switch....but still can't call or text.
Would unrooting fix it? Did a factory reset again and pulled battery and sim... unfortunately no change

whatsapp messages delayed. pleasseee help

i have searched every possible threads and browsed Google for hours to find for a solution. but i couldn't find any. i have a stable WiFi connection,yet, my whatsapp messages are delayed.( they are not delayed if i am using mobile data). if i send a msg now it takes forever to send it.moreover if someone send me a messsage , i receive it lately,probable 3,4 messages together. i have also noticed that my WiFi do not stay active when i use whatsapp.probably this is the reason my messages do not get sent instantly. the two small arrows in the WiFi bars disappears.which means data are not being sent or received.i have to open the play store or browse the internet to make the connection active. why is it that when i use whatsapp the WiFi connection becomes inactive but when i browse,WiFi is healthy? is there any way that i can force WiFi to stay active and connected when i am using whatsapp?or is it possible to increase the priority of whatsapp to use the max WiFi strength just like browsers and play-store? i really can don't care about battery if i can use whatsapp properly.is there any modded whatsapp apk which can force max wifi to stay active etc etc... i am really frustrated. any help is highly appreciated.
p.s: i have changed kernels, from Franco to trinity than Franco again, unchecked "avoid poor WiFi connections", set WiFi sleep policy to "never"

Sounds more like a problem with your WIFI router then the phone itself. Have you tried to reboot your router?
WIFI High performance widget might help you to keep the WIFI alive when screen off.

Did you tweak the Wifi parameters with your custom kernels (low latency mode)? Have you tried flashing back stock kernel to see if that fixes the issue?

not yet. but my question is if the wifi network was the problem then my brothers htc one x running ics and galaxy tab running gingerbread should also face this problem in whatsapp,ryt? but they dont.is it the rom i am using?do u think getting back to stock might help? any recommendations? i love xenon

I know exactly what you're talking about because I experience it as well. It doesn't matter what ROM, (stock, CM10, PA etc) kernel, (stock, Franco, Trinity etc) or what WiFi network I'm on (work, home, coffee shop etc) but whenever I'm on WiFi my messages in WhatsApp are delayed when the application isn't open. I've basically concluded it's the app itself that has a problem with WiFi. I have no fix, I just keep hoping that the next update will fix it.
The developer website isn't very helpful either. Basically suggesting not to use WiFi if the other fixes they suggest don't work.

No idea unfortunately
I know it was running fine for me on ICS, but I noticed it changed after JB. I run the version of WhatsApp offered directly from the website which I think is different from the Play Store, so I don't know if it was a version change, or something specific to JB.
If I know I'm going to be using WhatsApp I stay off WiFi. Not ideal, but it's the only thing I've done that's "fixed" it.

If you always had this problem since the day you bought the phone and on stock (not sure if you flashed a custom ROM right on the first day you owned it), probably not. But if whatsapp worked fine before and the problem was introduced after flashing a custom ROM/kernel, I'd say returning to stock will probably fix it.

I've used whatsapp since day 1 I have my gnex. No issues whatsoever, not on ICS nor on JB. I also don't see this forum flooded with people complaining about whatsapp, so I'd say it's a specific problem linked to your whatsapp account and/or phone.

Beats me. However, with millions of users and billions of messages sent per day, things obviously can go wrong. Try contacting whatsapp support.

I've used Whatsapp for a very long time, previously on an HTC Desire S and now on my GNex GSM and never had issues.... I'm on stock JB rom but I've tried several others with diff kernels and no probs whatsoever. Until today. Faced the exact same prob as the OP described (whatsapp msg's go thru or come very late on wifi but do so fine on 2G/EDGE - however everything else works just fine re gtalk msg's/browsing etc and whatsapp works fine too on my brother's SGS3 on wifi).
Was going nuts googling about it when my brother informed me that he'd changed the home ISP and now our wifi router was pumping out access from a new ISP's modem. So I tried switching back to the old ISP to test (swapped the cable modem that connects to our wifi router) and whatsapp works fine again. Then my brother switched back to the new ISP's modem and same problem for me on whatsapp! So we factory reset the router after upgrading it's software to latest from the manufacturers website and now, finally, whatsapp works fine for me on both ISP's modems.
Maybe you can try messing with your router (factory reset or look thru its settings or try another ISP input just to test?), maybe it will help. It's a strange issue though. (FWIW my router's a cheap one by TENDA and my phones wifi sleep policy is set to always on).

Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus

[SOLVED] Data stopped working

Running CM11 on PagePlus. I cannot access the Internet. I was able to at one time. Thought it was the Rom so I flash CM10.1 and Stock rooted rom. I reactivated the phone after the installs. Every time it says the network is connected but I cannot connect to the Internet or send MMS. Starting to think it is the phone. Any ideas?

More info:
IP address is applied. Able to ping ip address but not some other known ip address. Traceroute does one hop to 66.174.216.161, which seems to be a Verizon ISP. Might try playing with apns-config.xml. I had tried the one I had when it was working previously but did not seem to change anything.

I'm new, but had similar problems

I'm not sure the MMS issue has been resolved, as of yet. Last time I check the Development thread it seemed like there wasn't yet a fix. Someone will correct me shortly if I'm mistaken, I'm sure.
The data problem you're having is one that I struggled with for a couple weeks in CM11... I don't know how much help I can be, because I'm not really sure what ended up actually fixing it for my dINC. All I know is that I spent about three hours dirty flashing and restoring from nand backups, sometimes the full backup and sometimes just partitions. I also threw in a *228 somewhere in there. Anyways, Through persistence, and sheer dumb luck, I finally have a pretty stable data connection, as long as I don't use the mode switcher in DUbattery(that seems to mess 3g up until reboot).
sometimes it helps to toggle airplane mode on then off.

Thanks for the tip. I toggled airplane mode on and off. I could then load google in the browser but it would not do anything after that. I have a new inc and an OG Evo coming in. Might have to retire my inc for the kid to play games on. My wife is using and OG Evo with no data or mms problems on 10.1 and I am sort of digging the larger screen. Also might be able to help zach with troubleshooting cm11 for the evo (supersonic).

Glad to know it was not just my phone. I am back on your 2/17 build and was worried there was some leftover firewall stuff even though I wiped everything except emmc and sd-card before the flash.
On another note. I have that other EVO coming in so should be able to load up CM11 and do some logging for you.

So I switched mobile data off this weekend with the silent profile and when I switched it back on using the default profile my data worked.

I'm glad you found a fix! On my dINC, I don't use the profiles, and mobile data crashes randomly. After flashing the March 23rd build, it has gotten somewhat better, but it always seems to skip out when I need it most... specifically.... when I use Google voice search to either dictate text messages or navigate to an address(delivery driver). the latter is especially frustrating, because I only use the navi when I'm already out of the store and can't find something, so no alternative available. Sometimes, even when the 3g symbol is full in status bar, I'll push the voice button and it will say, "cannot reach google *** etc" :crying:
