hi there
as i mentioned in the thread description, my data connection randomly gets stuck. what means that the "up"-arrow stays lightened, and i cant connect to the internet, no matter what im using (web browser, tapatalk,...).
this seems to be totaly random, since i can not reproduce it.
this always lasts like 2mins and its all fine again, after that.
as far as i can remember this only happens when using the FoyoMod (both 2.5.0 and 2.6.0) not on any cm-rom, well for as far as i can remember ...
using wifi its working without problems
and another question, but this is for sure depending on TheFroyoMod-rom: i cant download attached files with tapatalk.
my device:
[email protected] 2.6.0 (all standart: kernel, vsel, frequencies,...)
Baseband: 3GSMEPU91a_u_91.09.04I
thx in advance for replies

I used to have those problems as well. I've deduced that it might just be a dead spot. When I am at school in a certain classroom, I lose all connection and get the same symptoms that you're describing. It might be a dead spot, in which you can't really do much about that.
thanks for your reply.
but i mostly use my phone at work, and there i stay at the same spot for 8h, even if i dont move my phone it works again after a while. i still can do calls, what means i still have a signal???
there is something i found on the web, its called dns-fix which i tried to apply usind aor, but when i do so, it replies: already applied. so i guess its already integrated in cm7

I guess it all depends on your office building as well. A lot of cement and basements make the cell signals hard to pass through, so you might be stuck. Are you able to use wifi?
When you're somewhere else, say, at home, does your 3G work properly?
its at home as well. its no congret there just shacks, but even under free air with nothing around me it happens. and yes wifi works perfectly then, it testet it at home, and also calls are able.
and like i said above the outbound traffic arrow stays lightend, just as it is somehow stuck.
well gues i just have to live with it

hrmm I experience the same thing sometimes.
I don't think this is limited just to Milestone/Droid. I have friends with Defy and Xperia X10 and they also get drop outs.
I think it must depend partially on the software (I seem to get better 3G connection under Gingerbread). Also when I restart the phone/reinstall the OS my connection comes back.
Also it probably depends on location and the cell provider.
I guess 3G is not perfect to rely on yet. Hopefully in the next couple of years it will be as reliable as ADSL! But for browsing basic stuff it works fine.
I know that one of the tricks that I've found works SOMETIMES is to turn the wifi on, then turn it off again. It seems to "wake up" the 3G and sometimes gets it back to normal.
alright then thank you for the advises

didnt worked for me. but my speed is about what they posted without editing anything in the buil.prop.
but following a post by sileshn, i flashed the latest crono rom (1.2). since that i dont get more than 600kbps down, i already tried the tweak i n the build.prop. is this just regular in this rom?
i tested somewhere, i know from previous test what speed i can get. any clue about that?

is it just me or it take a few mins to lock the satelite. My friend has an atrix and that thing lock satellite like in no time. I got so embarassed comparing, please advise. Thanks.
Actually I am surprised how quickly my IS locks on to sat. It takes just a few seconds.
My old phone (SE X10 Minipro) took ages / 10 - 60 seconds.

but I had hd7 for 2 months it work very very good.when I at home lock the satelite in any seconds.very very fast
Try changing APN type to "default,mms,supl" then reboot. It's under wireless network settings.

I have the same issue with gps taking longer than normal to lock. Outside it works fine. Inside a building or home not so well. Gps worked better on my Nexus one inside and outside.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
I upgraded from Hero to IS and the only thing that IS let me down is its GPS. Hero is much faster to acquire a lock and being stable afterward. But IS is very unstable in this regard. Sometime it takes only a few seconds while most other time at least 5 minutes. I'm talking about testing at the exactly same spot but different time.
Maybe try out scmasaru's suggestion later.
are you talking about GPS without WiFi network ? My IS can not catch GPS if no wifi is on.
But my previous N1 can easily catch GPS without any WiFi

WiFi/mobile data should assist GPS to lock faster but not necessary. My IS take ages to get a lock if only GPS is switched on. There's definitely something wrong here.

Help you with what? Buy an Atrix if you want faster indoor GPS.
The only time I need GPS is when I'm outdoors, so I don't see the issue unless you have a habit of waking up in strange buildings...
Just learned from another thread that the antenna of IS is attached to the battery case. So maybe all our GPS reception problem is caused by a loose connection?

I have already deleted a few of your post. You need to step back and chill for awhile. Keep the thread clean and on topic.
Sorry I opened a topic for this here, but I can't write in the dev threads.
First of all, I must say, I only want answers, and someone to test it, but be careful, because you can fry (no, not brick) your phone, if you place a huge number to the... but lets get everything in order:
I noticed a line in the tiwlan.ini file that nobody mentioned. This line is TxPower=205.
It's used to set the power output level of the built in antennae.
Now goes the trick:
-If you lower it, it will shorten the distance of the signal, but it's quality goes up, so if you have unstable connections, this MAY help you.
-If you write a higher number, you get better strenght, but in cost of quality.
This is the theory, and it works on Routers or Access Points (with some not-so-legal firmware updates), so I believe it will work on mobiles.
Note that more power=more heat and more power>battery life!
So I just want to know which numbers are the best (and safe) for long- and for short distances?

1. think of wifi as 2 ppl standing in 2 places trying to talk to each other. u either raise or lower your voice depending on the distance between you 2 and any obstacles in between. figure that out and u'll pretty much figure your own question out
2. why can't u test it yourself?

Precisely. I don't think anyone here tried it so far, so there won't be any replies for your question. All you can do is test it and tell us if mingling those settings enhances wifi
Gonna try it out later... will report back.
I have modified this setting on PC wifi card drivers back in the day when WEP cracking still was a new thing.
?................................
I dont't want to try it, because I haven't got money for another mobile if it fails, and I just bought that phone. BTW it is sure works, but it needs testing.
I gave the idea, you test it... or... not? Damn I'll test it then, but need confirmation from other phones.
Sry for my english.
Edit:
Okay, The default dBm is 69-70 here. I changed the value to 210: nothing changed. I changed it to 120, and the signal is now 69-67 (I held the phone in one place through the time and nothing placed anywhere between me and the router)... strange, it is like nothing changed, or at least the difference is really small. I don't dare to set an extreme high number (like 300 or 400) (the description says "#set Default Tx Power Level in DBM * 10", so it is 20,5 dBm at default, and this is "Maximum output power from unlicensed AM transmitter per U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules 15.219.[1] Typical wireless router transmission power.") Note that laptops has got 15 dBm (32mW) wifi cards typically!
i done this TxPower=400. for 2week on this setting and had a+ wifi for 500yard away from my house and i just move it back to 205 for heat problems and now i cant even get out of the front door of my house with out lossing 1 bars of wifi so yes it dose work for me

Man, you're mad
Did you know you just gave 10W to your WI-FI chip? It is a miracle it hasn't burned!
("40 dBm 10 W Typical PLC (Power Line Carrier) Transmit Power" -no suprise it worked from a half mile )
Now this is something.

As you can see from the post of "BIG JD", 400 brings large heat emit, so I think 300 will be in the safe zone. I only dared to set 230, but it made just a little change. I think the signal strength will be parabolic if you raise the TxPower, so 300 must be enough. Just try not to fry your phone with an accidental wrote +0 after the 300!
Oh, BTW you can see a chart here from what thing emits how many power:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBm
Note that raising TxPower may illegal in some countrys!

Yes, of course. But beware, I'm really not sure it will not damage your phone.
And to be more precise use Wi-Fi Analyzer from Market (it shows exactly the signal's strenght)
i dont have to reboot it works very good! I am 20 meters from home and i still have 3 lines nice!

Ok, try it! For me "n" is always disconnects me from my WEP2 encrypted line (like you), but it's maybe much more better with "n", if it works (for me it's not )
So i need to change that lines yes? Nothing more?

My device needs immediate help...tried all the googling....
Tried nvflashing, smart flashing (KDZ from win8 is such a big mess and could not do it), changing of BB (from V20 to V30 A/B), factory reset...almost everything...
When I call someone, I cant hear them and neither the person called....call is on and it is charged. No sound from the device. So, I flashed the stock ROM and checked through the hidden menu and absolutely no ring during the ring test....
once or twice, when I did the factory reset, I had the sound working and the call working....but now I have done the progmaq NVflash and then changed to new bootloader, rooted, partitioned all that....but now I have no sounds, neither call is made from the phone.....the call is not heard through the ear piece....caller gets it but I cant hear it
Tried all the CM ROMs, Stock ROMs from Civato, Jishnu, sgspluss, Topo, including the nvflashing of stock by Stefan.....absolutely no result.
has anyone any clue about this? Please suggest any ideas.
Sad... i always find Opti-3D GB by Homero the best for the complete repartition. Also done through NvFlash. Do some searching around and you will find a working download link (mediafire). On phone now, but if you cant find it, just let me know.
First time I read about such issue, hoping it isn't defect hardware. Will do some searching around for you to see other solutions when I get on PC if this won't help.
Good luck!

Smartflash again the bb you want

Have used progmaq, then according to your recommendations used the Homero's clean ROM.....but no sound.....
Looks like a hardware issue....have everything else working perfectly but calls cant be handled, no sound on speaker, no sound from the other side or from my side to the other....
Dont know what to do now.....a long weekend due to festivals....so have to keep trying something....win8 does not allow the LG KDZ update server by spyrosk....

Don't use that option. Flash KDZ this way: Extract it using spyrosk tool, then flash it with Smartflash. I could never get the other way to work either, so do it with Smartflash after extracing the KDZ
I hope you can solve this problem. We dont want to loose you... But it sounds like a Hardware issue. Maybe you could try it with an win 7 pc?

Bhai, try there, if not possible when you come down to bangalore we will get it sorted. If its a hardware issue and its its around Rs500 or so, we can proceed, but beyond that frankly speaking its of no use.
Can you play some sound or select a sound for phone call or notify?
If no sound is played the thing is bad.

Presently I am not facing any issues but this on off thing is driving me crazy as some calls are missed....Have switched on the vibe....
Well, need to wait and see....check with the centre for repair....if it is expensive....then this device will be used as a spare cause I can't use without connectivity.....my boss will kill me....lol

In the very beginning of using my mtcb device, there was an option in the settings with auto brightness. It worked with the illumination wire.
I don't know really, what I changes, but it isn't working anymore or let's say, the option isn't there anymore.
What I have done is switching between different Roms and changed a few things in factory settings. Can there be the problem?

I'm sure it has to do with which kernel modules were compiled in. And as far as I know, we don't have any true original android ROMs for our units, so that's not likely to change soon.
