3G connection keeps "stopping".

[marcopolo007uk]

Hi, the search button has failed me. (Two posts in 2 years isnt too bad is it?)

My issues is.... accessing the internet over 3g works fine (and HPSDA) Internet, push mail everything... however, If I drop out of coverage at any time my internet connection vanishes as to be expected. However once connection is re-established still the Internet fails to work. It shows connected to 3G or HPSDA but all websites time out and Activesync reports waiting for network.

The fix is to go Start>Settings>Connections>Connections>Manage my existing connections.
Then I simply "Next" thru all the settings until I get to the end. Press Finish. The data connection drops and the re-establishes and Im working again!?!! Very Annoying!

Im running. Duttys 6.1 Rom (April) and a few bits a pieces (It happens with nothing installed also and with another ROM I tried in desperation!) T-Mobile UK

Does this sound like a Radio issue to you guys? Should I try another Radio or Ditch Dutys Rom? (Which I love)

Any help gratefully accepted.

If Downgraded to WM6 (T-Mobile stock ROM) and Im still having this issue. Very frustrated. :(

I've found a few posts from the US who seem to have the same sort of issue. 3g does not recover after dropping out of service.

I've had the same sort of thing, I just disconnect (Long press on the red End call key or click on the 3G icon in the top bar and hit disconnect), and let it reconnect.

I have exactly the same issue with mine as well and its only started recently. I too have found the only way to fix it is to go through and 're setup' the connection. Disconnecting and reconnecting, rebooting all seem to do nothing...

Are you abled to make a voice call over 3G...?!

I think so... however, Im such a light "voice" user I never really notice... I'll double check the next time it goes. IE When I get a cuppa tea at the office.. :)

Check this one out also --> my 3G issue (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410104)

I usually have a H (1 or 2 bars), when walking around my office this can drop to a 3G connection at times.

If I head to the basement, I drop to the Areial symbol or completely disconnect.... When the H or 3G connection starts again my Data connection fails as described above.

(However, I am able to make normal outgoing voice calls, not tried incoming yet)

Ok, I think I have a work around that seems to be working for me.

I set my BAND to GSM only as a test.... and it worked for the whole day, when I dropped into a NO SERVICE area the data connection dropped. When it recovered my data connection was back and working.

Obviously GSM is too slow, so I've now set my BAND settings to;

Network Type - WCDMA
UMTS Band - UMTS(2100+800)

And also diasabled HSDPA.

Currently everything seems ok... Now my connection does not drop from HSDPA>3G>G and back up again it seems to work fine?? Seems the issue may be with switching between the GSM standards??

I realise I wont get coverage in GSM only area's, but consistant data (Push Email) is just as important to me.

I've the same problem, but changing settings to gsm only is no solution. In this case I have to restart my Kaiser to get a new working connection.

I also have many Problems since updating to wm 6.1. Can I downgrade to the original german 6.0 or is there a really stable german 6.1 out there?

I've been getting the same problem as well for the past month or so.

Have been 'fixing' the problem by either putting the phone into airplane mode and back again, or rebooting the phone.

It's getting quite annoying though

[marcopolo007uk]

Stopping the phone dropping to GSM seems to work for me. Leaving me with HDSPA and 3G.
I'm lucky to be in a good 3G coverage area I guess.

Im not sure who we should log this issue with? Carrier or HTC?


Are we all on T-Mobile having this issue?

[maxmax72]

i'm on o2 germany and a one day test with t-mobile didn#t show this error :confused:
with o2 i have this problem about three times a day

[maxmax72]

Sometimes i want to throw my phone away.

[damion.lamaison]

I'm still having the problem as well. Has anybody figured out a solution?
