Default Losing Service after long periods of time

So I have xdandroid running pretty good now without any major problems except for this. When I leave my phone idle for a long period of time, usually when I go to sleep, and come back to it I loose service as soon as I go to make a call. I tried playing with the airplane mode but it wouldn't allow me to disable the radio. Is anyone else having this problem and is there a solution? Thanks.

What phone? RHODxxx?

Build info would be helpful as well. Kernel, rootfs and system image version/date.

I quite often lose service, but there is no pattern to it! Sometimes it come back, sometimes it doesn't. If it has gone, then it won't go into airplane mode either - it seems to need to say goodbye to the network!

This is different to the scenario where I lose data connection, dispite having signal. In this situation the airplane mode trick does the job. When in this state, ifconfig doesn't display a ppp network.

Im also using RHOD100_uk and having this same problem aswell.

Only thing i have done that fixes it is to restart Android.

I have ATT tilt2 and i seem to have this issue from time to time. Sometimes i can toggle "airplane" mode and it will reconnect. If not its a full reboot.

Yup, I see this issue from time to time on my Rhod400 as well. It will show as connected to 3G but then unable to actually transmit data. I always have to reboot to resolve this.

My bad for taking so long to reply to my own thread, things got a little busy.

Anyway, I have the Rhod210, tmobile US version. Rebooting the phone wouldn't be much of a problem, accept for the fact that this usually happens when I'm asleep, and I don't realize I need to restart it, but rather think I'm not getting any calls lol. Is there a way I could rig it to reboot every so often maybe?

maybe once a day here with a rhod 400 on the latest frx03 build updated with sov's tool. i notice that the available memory in the advanced task killer will go from 102 when everything is running fine to 80 or 85 when is starts goin to crap. the only 2 apps i leave "alive" are task killer and juice defender.

Well, for one... you're *not* supposed to use "task killer" apps in 2.2+. Feel free to keep using them, just be prepared for data loss.

Two, the mystery process you're looking for is system_server. Every time I've had complete and utter unexplainable slowness, it was this process stealing 90+% of the processor cycles.

We still have some bugs to work out
