I did something inadvertently and lost my 3g and data connections. As far as I can see, the settings are all right "Mobile network" is clicked under Wireless and Networks, the Mobile Icon is green -- but suddenly I lost 3g.
Could someone give me a checklist of things to do?
Desparately...
Joe
Have you maybe deleted your APN's?
menu>settings>wireless and networks>mobile networks>access point names. Also while in thre check network mode is set to gsm/wcdma auto.
the access point I have is Orange Internet -- with juicedefender-orangeinternet underneath. Should there be another one?
Joe
Turn aeroplane mode on and off, if that doesn't work turn off and remove battery. Sounds like you've got an issue that many had and that I use to have.Do a search for the work around, try data connection issues. It was a pain for many data would occasionally just stop working. The new update apparently fixes it.
I would also try things with juicedefender turned off to see if it is causing any problems.
Have you also checked your network mode isn't set to use 2g only?
tried airplane off and on -- no luck. Ditto with battery out and juice defender disabled.
How do I check if Network mode is set to 2G? And how do I get the new upgrade?
(Many thanks for your help, by the way.)
Joe
I've had exactly the same issue.
First thing I did was delete the APN for the faster TMob speeds and reverted to default. This immediately made it work for a few moments before all data connection was lost.
So I then after trying the various things (ie airplane mode - can't remember what else - maybe switching off juice defender?), I did a factory reset. This solved things - until I reinstalled JD, and then the problem rearose. I ahve since binned JD, and I don't have any issue - just a rapidly decreasing battery level...
I just did a hard reset to switch to gmail!
Is there some way to uninstall juice defender?
Also, I just noticed that when I turn my Desire on, I no longer get the choice to choose HTC Sense -- what could have caused that?
Joe
If you performed a hard reset, then this should have deleted Juice Defender and all your pre-installed apps.
To delete it manually, go to Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications and select Juice Defender from the list and choose the Uninstall option.
To check if you network is set to 2G, go to Menu > Settings > Wireless & Networks > Network Mode. If it shows GSM only selected, then it is set as 2G, set it to the GSM/WCDMA instead.
For Sense, go to Settings > Applications > Sense UI then clear defaults and force stop, then hit the home button and choose Home when given the option. You can then set it as default and turn it off or on.
Ta for that. 3g is still on, I've uninstalled Juice Defender and still no joy. (It had gone when I did the reset, but I installed it again. Didn't have any problem with it at first.) Strangely, I can't find Sense UI amongst the applications. Could the hard reset have deleted it?
Anyway, its beginning to look like another hard reset tonight, when I have access to wifi....
Joe
Apologies... it would show up as HTC Sense, not Sense UI

Hello,
i have the exact same trouble.... Lost of all data connexion! Wifi is working properly, but in 3G sometime i lose connexion and i m unable to connect back!
Only way to do it is to turn off the phone and turn it back in, and most of the time it works.
The thing i get since 2 days (since the update in fact) is that before i go to bed i surf a bit, its working, then i plug the phone and go to sleep... then on the morning, no more data connexion!
This is REALLY annoying, and i can't figure out why it is behaving like that.... i have APNdroid installed, but when i lost the connexion even if i try to enable/disable it, nothing to do....
Please help!!
Orange?
Any of you guys on Orange by any chance?
My work mate and I both have a desire and lose 3G when at work. We can call our handsets and they both go straight to vm. They also fail sms.
We can only reliably use the handsets on GSM.
When I go home I switch back to GSM/WCDMA auto and all is OK, except my buddy doesn't live far from work so is on the same cell.
We think it's an issue with an Orange 3G mast that serves our area.
Same thing happens with my N97 and I thought it was handset related.
Data Connection Problem
Hey People,
I have a similar problem with my Galaxy S2 too, on Resurrection remix 4.0.3. I have tried everything well almost everything I know about. I have also installed automatic net services from Orange romania. It didn't help too. I believe there are people who can help fix this problem and releases my pain.
Any helpwould be appreciated.
I had the same problem once. It was the EPST settings.
1. Who is your carrier?
2. What rom do you have? In order to edit the EPST settings you need to
a. Know what your doing
b. Have the ORIGINAL sense rom installed.
You will probably need to call your carrier and tell them your data is not working and you believe it to be the EPST settings. To get into these settings, (in the ORIGINAL sense rom) dail ##778#, click edit mode, then type in password (usually 000000), but it depends on ur carrier.
From there it depends on what your carrier needs the settings to be.
I messed with the APNs settings on my phone for weeks and nothing worked. Then i stumbled upon EPST settings and that fixed it. I had to contact someone in upper data communications in Bluegrass Cellular to get the correct settings. So good luck!

Not all towers support 3G or even internet. That could explain that but idk about the calling and sms.
My GPS on google apps work fine . like maps ... but almost every other app I download off of the market when checking the GPS points my location to Cle Elum in Washington ...
I am literally thousands upon thousands of miles away from Washington ... WTF..!!!
and no I haven't downloaded any fake location apps of any sort ..
Do you have wifi on? For some reason if I have wifi on but not connected at work my phone thinks I'm in Nashville, TN. I work in St. Paul, MN.
I don't know what causes it.

I do have it on and connected ...
I downloded two GPS apps . one points at my actual location , the other one in Washington ..
With wifi connected, it shows me in Chicago when I'm in Pittsburgh

Google uses WiFi networks to try and determine your location. If you can change the SSID of your WiFi network, try adding "_nomap" at the end of your SSID.
This will stop Google from trying to use that wifi network for location and might correct your issue.

Actually the Google maps works fine , its the other apps that are messed up like weather widgets ...
The Problem persists even After a full wipe and installing a different ROM ..
it is NOT a GPS problem , If I turn off network location (( Mobile Data , Wifi )) the location is accurate but gets missed up when I turn it on ..
Problem is many apps go off the google location service like Google + . how DO I fix that ?

Google location services crowd source the locations of wifi AP's, so for some reason it thinks one of these AP's near you is located in Cle Elum. This only happens when you are in the same place, right? Like at home, work, whatever.
I find when I travel that I come close to AP's that Google thinks is in another part of the country or even the world, especially at airports. So for a moment I will be momentarily in Singapore when I am in Charlotte. I think in the airports it is seeing other people's portable hot spots (like my phone usually is for my iPad and laptop). You would think the location s/w would do some smoothing to prevent this moving thousands of miles in an instant, but apparently not.
Some apps allow you to select which location source to use, so you could try turning off network location and use only GPS. This is really only a test though, because the app probably won't work very well with network location turned off all the time.
You could also try to let the phone sit with GPS locked on in this place where you get the bogus location data every chance you get. Theoretically, that data should make it back to Google servers and correct the location of the AP that Google thinks is in Cle Elum right now.

I don't think this will help because the bogus location data is likely coming from an AP you can't configure, and it doesn't even need to be the one you are connected to. Location services uses all AP's it can see, so it could be one of many AP's in your area.

My office is in the basement and and I only get about 2-3 bars of cell signal. I'm always connected to wifi but when people text me I do not get it until I turn off wifi. It only does that in this location. Anyone have a solution for this?
Is it a home office? It could be a firewall issue

No it not a home office. Its open wifi at a University. I dont think its a firewall issue because when I got up to the third floor in still connected to the same wifi and I am able to send and receive text.
It still could be, if you went 4 floors up a building, you undoubtedly changed access points, different floors usually means different switches as well, and the switch could also be connected to a different router, or VLAN in the switches. Different VLAN's can and often do have different access... based on access control lists or ACL'S. ..

You are correct but I know that all our APs are on the same switch and vlans. I should have said tyhis in my orginal post that it does work sometimes. Its usally when my cell bars drops below 3 bars that it doesnt work..
Okay, then it could be that it's intermittent on the cell connection, and the phone tries to run most of the connections through the wireless, and it's missing the connection on the cell side, and since it's intermittent, and it has a connection via wireless, it's not trying as hard to make the cell connection, and can't get the push notifications on the LAN side. When it gets enough of a cell connection, the sms push notifications make it on the cell connection, if you force the cell connection, it tries harder to make the connection work, it normally wouldn't to save battery use.

I went into wifi calling setting and choose use cellular first. Is that what you're referring to?
No, that's not going to do anything about the push notifications from the carrier for sms messages, that's for routing voice calls. You may want to contact your carrier, and explain the situation, and ask if the sms push notifications go only on the cell network, or if they go across the Internet, if they go across the Internet, talk to the universities IT help desk and ask if they block sms push notifications. As far as making your phone deal with the cell network differently, that would be a question more for a developer. ..

Try changing your APN settings.
APN Protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4/IPv6

This is how I fixed my phone from not sending/receiving text while connected to my Wifi at home. Copy down all of the stock APN settings and then create a new one and change the APN Protocol and APN Roaming Protocol to IPv4/IPv6.
I try to spread this information as much as possible because of how frustrating it was not getting Text. Also you have to turn off Wifi Calling or switch it to "Cellular Preferred.
Hopefully this fixes your particular problem. It did for me, after switching to T-Mobile.
Good luck!
Hi,
I have a really annoying issue and thats the missing option to turn of the 2.4GHz band. Corporate network usually broadcast all bands on the same SSID and I cant select whether I want to use the 2.4GHZ or 5GHZ band.
How can I go about changing this?
Heres a thread for the Samsung S3 that lost the same setting just to clarify what I need:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...p-wifi-band-switcher-switch-2-4ghz-5-t1891970
I'm using a rooted stock rom.
And don't suggest changing the "router" setting since were not talking about routers here, were talking Cisco APS on large corporations where they are broadcasting on the same SSID. And I'm looking for a mod to the phone so I can turn of the 2.4GHz band to verify I only can use the 5GHz band.
I think this was present somewhere prior to the Lollipop update.
So please help, Its just amazing to see that noone have had this request before since this is a network setting applied to most large corporations and in areas where the 2.4GHz bands are clogged with signals you need to force 5GHz... I have seen the request for other platforms but not the LG G3.
Go select advanced settings and select WiFi frequency.

What about you change your ROM? I'm using 5.1.1 and it has that option.
---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 PM ----------
There is an app called WiFi roaming fix in google play search and find it give it a try
I would lpve to use another rom but from what i read there isnt any that can make the camera work to its full potential.
But ill try that app tomorrow and see how it works once it detexts multiple AP's and multiple bands on the same SSID.

There were no settings in that app that prevents my phone from using 2.4GHz network. It was just basically saying how many APs there were on the current network and a setting to chose the one with best signal. 2.4GHz usually have better signal since that frequency penetrates material better then 5GHz and I want 5GHz only to try.
I am using Cyanogen ROM, and they have that option to select AUTO, 2.4 or 5.
STOCK ROM doesn't....=(

Thats exactly what I want. I would love to run Cyanogen but everyone says the camera cant deliver as LG stock. But you would think its not that hard to add the feature since its present everywhere except most stock ROMs. Seems like more manufacturers then LG removed the option when updates came to stock ROMs.
Hello, I bought yesterday an unlocked Htc M8, european version(i live in Europe) and after every reboot, after i enter the pin, i have to toggle the airplane mode on/off to get signal, after that it's all ok, no signal drops or anything, i also have a moto g and with the same SIM i have no problems, i thought the phone is locked or something, but thanks to some tips on an article from Android Authority the solution was to toggle the airplane mode, what could be the problem? i have no warranty and thought to ask here maybe someone has had this issue, thanks
solved, manual roam

I have the same issue , it happened when I flashed an AOSP based Rom...
Each time I reboot there is no signal but after toggling airplane mode it works...
How did you reolve it?
Try this:
Manually Search for a Network:
From the home screen, tap the Applications icon.
Scroll to and tap Settings.
Tap Mobile data.
Tap Network operators.
Tap Search networks.
Wait whilst the handset searches for available networks.
Tap the required network.
The network has been manually selected.
