[Q] Slow / not reliable mobile data connection on Android...

---

Hello everybody,

I have used / tested many Android custom ROMs until now and I have allways observed a very unstable and not reliable Internet data connection. I am living in Germany and I have also changed the provider (from E-Plus to Vodafone, both prepaid) due to this issue, but with the Vodafone I have the same slow and unstable connection, meaning: a lot of times, when I activate the mobile data, I don't get connected at all to the internet, so I have to try later, and this is happening even when I have full signal strength; when I (finally) get connected, the internet is very slow - I can say that, because some times (very rare) I get good connection speed; sometimes when I activate the mobile data, the connection isn't established (no icon on the status bar) and I have to switch between 2G and 3G or to switch shortly to airplane mode...
I can't remember to have had those problems with WM6.5 (also custom ROMs), so my question would be if it is really Android which has a problem with the data connections...
Thanks in advance for your opinions.

Conrad

Did you tried another radio rom?

Hello, check your mobile network settings - Access Point Names settings. Try to compare with someone who have good internet data speed or check the settings in windows mobile and set the same. If this won't help try to start "from the scratch". Reflash Radio - Radio Leo 2.15.50.14 very recommendable.

@icke: I have already tried different radios - no improvement

@sn0vvman: I have currently the Leo Radio 2.15.50.14 installed - maybe I will try to flash it again...

@ all: should I understand that you don't have any problems at all with the mobile data connection on HD2 with Android? This would be good news - I would try in this case further and quit thinking on going back to WM...

Yes, definitely mobile data connection on HD2 with Android works fine.

I also have problems with data connection with any NAND rom. I also tried different radios clk and magldr and so many roms. I am on O2 Germany and I also got connection problems every now and then. Sometimes it's working flawlessly. Sometimes it shows good connection but would not load a web site or check emails. Sometimes it's after a good time of usage that the connection gets unstable. Restarting data connection or a reboot always solves the problem. I'm so used to it that I don't even realize it most of the time.

getting this problem as well on TMobile in the US. i constantly lose signal on 3G/H but when I select use only 2G, signal is strong and doesn't drop. also on latest radio as well... maybe will try a previous radio
