problem with defy losing dropping 3g connection - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello, i have just bought a defy, and notices it usually drops hspa connection very fast. it takes sometimes up to a minute to load a page, if it works at all, some other times works perfect.
I am on vodafone romania
i entered the info menu *#*#4636#*#* and if i run a ping test when the connection drops, i see an error: http client test: unknown (it's pass if it works) even tough ping ipaddr and host name are both pass, so the internet works in theory, i just can't connect over http sometimes
i update to beta 2.3.4 then downgraded to 2.2.2 and still no change, wiped everything in the process. i checked the apn 100 times and it's the right one (it does work half the time after all)
i rooted and used set dns program (tried all the dns addresses), still no luck
i tried to change baseband, with defy baseband, set them all, same thing
i tried to use the wcdma preferred setting - default is gsm auto (prl) - but it does not stick (only wcdma only and gsm only work)
please help me

get the radio replaced

Help with wifi not working

I have done hard reset and soft resets and still my wifi is not connecting.
Finally my EDGE is working great but wifi not. Whenever I try to connect my SSID is set to "EMC Wireless Internal" channel 11. I have no idea where this cam from but I can not get rid of it. I have a new FIOS Actiontec router with wireless enabled to my network name, channel 10. And Hitchhiker tries to connect but it keeps getting bumped off.
I have gone into MediaNet and turned off the proxy and checked for it to go onto the internet on Cingular GPRS.
I have not had a problem connecting before on wifi. I wonder if the router is a problem here, or if my phone settings are screwed up.
And ideas?
Thanks
The WiFi - EDGE contengency
*The Bad News*
By default, if EDGE/GPRS is configured to work, WiFi is rendered useless.
You didnt mention what carrier you have. I have Cingular and they even state on there website that If you configure the Edge/GRPS to connect, then WiFi may not work.
*The Good news*
I have my 8125 working with both Edge and WiFi. Heres what I did:
1. Open Connnections and click on the 'ADVANCED' tab.
2. Click on 'SELECT NETWORKS'.
3. The top pull down should be set to 'MY ISP' or, if you have named your WiFi connection something different, select it here.
4. Click 'EDIT' under this pull down and set connection to 'AUTO PICK'. 'OK' back to Network Management screen.
5. The bottom pull down should be set to 'MEDIA NE'T.
6. Click on 'EDIT' under this pull down. This is where you will set up EDGE using your carrier's settings.
7. 'OK' your way back out. Your done.
These settings let WiFi try to connect first. If no WiFi is available then EDGE/GPRS is used.
Good Luck!
Thank you! Worked for me, but videos streamed from orb still aren't working

I also have WiFi problems after installing HTC official upgrade
ROM 2.25.11.1 WWE
Date 5/11/06
Radio 02.25.11
Protocol 4.1.13.12
ExtROM 2.25.11.102
Everything is great except after successful connection to home WiFi it disconnects after maybe 5 to 15 seconds ... network becomes "unavailable" .. no error message. This happens even when not connected to CIngular EDGE/GPRS (flight mode ON then, individually enable WiFi ON for what that's worth). When I delete my home network WiFi entry to force a re-recognition and setup, it recognizes the wireless net just fine (again) but same behavior.
All my settings are already set as suggested by ralugniC8125 in this thread. I had not tried any of the other ROMs with added features/hacks/fixes found on this website ... would any of them behave differently, you think? PHone was bought from Cingular .. I have not done any unlock procedure (don't really need to from a service standpoint but will if necessary to make a new ROM work right).
Any thoughts appreciated...

I have just purchased an unlocked Tilt from eBay. I have been scanning the wiki for days now, along with other sources, and to no avail. I still cannot get my WiFi to work properly. If any one has had this issue and has found a solution, I would love to know it!
ok, here's a suggestion since none of you have mentioned it.
Diable the MAC (Media Access Control) Binding on the router. This should help.
Maybe yall can help me now I have it attempting to connect however it only connects to gprs and it even shows it has a great wifi signal
Still Wifi-less and Woeful

Thanks for the suggestion. This did not help unfortunately. I should mention that I have tried to access several different types of routers... with and without security, and while they are showing up as being available, they will not stay connected for more than a second or two.
Any other possibilities?

Help - My Tmobile Data 3g has stopped working!

Ive had issues over the past week or so - but now my 3g has just stopped working just ends up sticking in locating or connecting or opening but never finds the page!! I then get the error message telling me that!
I recently had dns servers set and then removed to allow the connection to automatically select!
Ive then put them back in 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 (these were recommended as speeding up the internet connection). Ive also tried open dns settings of 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 However still no luck!
The amazing thing is gprs works just fine!!!
I have been using Bandswitch to preserve battery life - ive had that on for a fair while - 3g data worked just fine with it before!
Also phone calls on 3g and gsm are fine it is just the 3g Data connection! Active synch doesnt work with my 3g and exchange server!!!!

[Q] 3g connection after flash

Hi folks, here's my brand new problem...
After rolling back to JM7 FW from JPC my internet connection was broken. I did everything like I was told to do by the JM7 thread and everything went fine, except my 3g connection.
I then rerolled to JPC via Odin, again everything went fine, but the problem remains.
Did a search but couldn't find sufficient help. I checked my APN settings (o2 de), everything is alright. The H symbol is showing and the uplink arrow is blinking sometimes (so I think there is at least uplink?!), but my phone cannot get data from the internet and I cannot connect to my Google profile.
any ideas are welcome.
edit: I have the unbranded european version of SGS
edit: 2g connection is working
download Opera Mini, install it
and see if that works
some network operators blocks port 80 for strange reason and the default browser doesn't work
but Opera Mini works because it doesn;t use the default connection
Nope, nothing. Opera tries to install itself for a whlie and then states it cannot connect.
use WiFi to install opera, then use opera to test your APN 3G
Ok, solved, I changed the server in my APN settings to an alternate adress --> did not work. I then changed it back to 'Unassigned' and tada --> now it works, I don't know why.

[Q] No Internet over 3g and Edge but with Wlan

hi,
I`v bought my HTC Trophy this week over ebay from Austria (I live in Germany) and it arrived yesterday
Last night I startet to configure my new phone and did all over wlan cause of the speed, everything worked fine. But this morning at the trainstation I tried to surf over 3g and Edge but it couldn't load any page or make anny connection to the Internet. But the mysterious was it showed me in the left upper corner the connection as 3g. It didn`t worked for me since then but wlan is working fine.
I also tried to reset, reboot, change every option nothing helped...
Is anyone having any Ideas how to fix this error or how to handle it??
thx
is it possible that you have an branded device?
I got mine through vodafone, but i'm using Hi (kpn)
To make my internet connection work, i had to manually add an apn.
The 3g logo could be there to let you know there is an 3g network available.
you could also try htc connection setup (to be found in the marketplace) to setup your setting.
thx you man you`ve made my day!
You where absolutly right, I had to add the tmobile apn by hand and it worked right in the same moment.
For anyone who has the same problem:
go to Settings>mobile communications and click on edit APN and enter your APN data manualy you will have to search the internet for this data or call your provider.
Thank you, guys!
I don't like very much my new Trophy anyway (I have a HD2 ...) but without internet connection it was orrible!
Additionally if you go to marketplace - HTC Apps and then select Connection Setup you will have the opportunity to do this automatically.

Wifi not working

Creating a new topic, because the other one is tagged as solved, but it doesnt solve my problem however.
So my wifi is not working, it's connecting to any wifi hotspot but not sending data thru that, which ends in failing loading any pages on IE, cannot download any apps from market and so on...
Anyway this is what I tried so far:
1. Flashed to stock rogers (also tried different Tango roms)
2. Did hard reset procedure via hardware keys (Format all Yes)
3. Did hard reset procedure via About menu
4. Did hard reset procedure via Samsung Diagnosis code sequence
5. Logged to my wifi network, everything looks fine at this point.
6. Opened IE and entered google.com:
"We're having trouble connecting to this webpage" (sometimes no error message but white page with scrolling bars appearing on touch)
7. Tried to access my wifi router via IP address (192.168.1.1) - the same results like above
8. Tried to ping my Samsung Fous IP (192.168.1.18) from my PC with success
9. Disabled wifi network security on home wifi router, the Focus still not working
Additionaly tried a method that fix issues with wifi after using latest wp7 tools, but it didnt help at all.
When using my providers APN there is no problem with opening pages on IE etc., but it's not Wifi.... Internet is also working if I have USB cable plugged in, but again it's not wifi.
Cannot use warranty, the phone is from the USA and I'm in Europe... without any warranty service.
What else I can do, maybe there are some diagnosis codes that can actually help with real diagnosis on what happened with wifi on my phone?
Hello again (from the other thread). For completeness, add the following:
- current OS version
- did/not use WindowBreak
- when did the problem start (if you can identify an event and OS version/revision) - or you noticed
There might be a test for wireless in the "diagnosis codes"... Good luck!
After you use the diagnosis fix, it might take some time, mine didn't work immediately but after some time, it detected my home network. But it seems you are able to connect but internet does not work, this is certainly issue with router/DNS settings in your phone, because I have faced these problems in iPhone, it might wrongly mapped to unreachable ip, but never faced this issue in Windows Phone, you might try changing the default gateway/dns settings, you should also reset your modem/router, and try basic setup before WPA/WPA2 setup

Hi there
Currently using 7.10.8773.98, (MAGLDR 2.0) but tried different versions, even vanilla pre-mango ones, they didnt work well with wifi on my phone either. I checked it at friends home wifi, which is totaly different network and routers.
I never used WindowBreak, never had to because my phone was already unlocked long time ago with ChevronWP7 application.
Noticed the problem about 2 weeks ago, but I didnt use wifi too much, so it could started much earlier. Last installed application was WP7 Tools 0.8 alpha, and all I did back then was using some built-in tweaks (3G?) if there is any, cant remember to be honest but for sure I wasnt editing registry or anything like that, I just play some games from time to time, cant event tell why I installed it, maybe because I noticed there is a new version. I cant tell because I never paid attention to it especially with rare wifi usage at a time.
I have isolated the problem I guess, and it's not the phone's fault. Something wrong with the main access point (Mikrotik) at my place. This is weird because everything is working just not on Samsung Focus. I digged thru many options and couldnt find anything that blocked or stuff like that. Well took it to totaly different place and another wifi network, and guess what - it's connecting to wifi with data flow...
Anyway consider this topic as solved.
