Question Losing 3G

For some odd reason, my rooted d2 is losing the 3G, requiring a reset. This usually happens when the phone returns from being locked. Not every time.

Is this a stock rooted D2 or are you running a custom ROM?

Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App

Default no custom roms

The only mods I made are rooting, clockwork recovery. I have not used any roms. I googles it, and found that many people (read mostly about droid x) have the same issue. They also do the same thing (power down, and reboot). *228 does not fix this, its a froyo issue.

Default 3G dropping with WIFI enabled

Mine does this too, and is also stock 2.2 brand new and rooted, but I think it was doing it before rooting. Have you tried disabling the WIFI notfication? I think maybe it keeps dumping 3G when it detects WIFI available in the area. When I disable WIFI it seems to hold 3G OK.

I tried this today, and I will update if that helps. For others trying this, first you need to turn on the wifi, then UNCHECK (so the check mark is not green) the Network notification box, then turn off the wireless. Thanks.

If you get a WIFI connection with internet, your 3G icon will disappear. It's supposed to be like that.

+1, that sounds like the problem to me, as when it wakes up from a lock the icon would switch from 3g to wifi
