AGREE! Particularly,we have to let the phone in a longer period of deep sleep state and in an environment that the network will switch, to test which mode suits your telecom company.

Currently I am testing GSM/WCDMA (Auto), GSM/WCDMA(WCDMA preferred) already failed, if Auto fails, I will test the 3G only mode.

Looking forward to you guys' test resutls.

cheers!

If you have a situation where you can roam on another network, you may want to try disabling that too.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrogFrog:
I have installed the latest quarx 26.06 and I have seen a change.

Before 26.06 when I started gmail or browser then it says "not connected to netowork".

Now when I´m not connected (dropout of the network after a while) then NO "not connected message comes" it only searches and searches and nothing happend, until I start the data connection new, then immediately the programm goes on.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viva_SA:
Exactly. For this reason I really hope Epsylon, Maniac and Quarx take a look at this thread, as it might assist them in characterising the issue.

To sum up my own experience: The issue is most definitely network dependant (some networks works fine, others are horrible). It also seems to be related to the sleep state of the phone, as I always find the disconnection after waking the phone. Most of the time, opening Google Talk or promting some form of network activity causes a reconnection. Other times toggling the data connection is the only way to get the phone to reconnect.

I've been using CM9-20120617 for the past week. When in the city (where I normally reside) disconnects occured often. I spent the last couple of days on a farm in quite literally, the middle of nowhere. There is only one tower (MTN, my carrier) with EDGE, no 3G. I've had maybe two disconnects the last 5 days while in this location, so the situation did improve for some reason, probably there only being one tower.

I hope this helps. It would also be great if the developers would interact with this thread, as I'm sure many of us would like to assist in some way.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] felipegeek:
I have a Defy with rooted stock 2.2.1 and have a similar issue as described in this thread. I am not so sure it's only a CM or other Mod ROM problem as a broader issue with the device. Of course if no one else reports the same issue with stock firmware it could just be me.

I run into this in the Miami, FL area especially when driving on the highway. I notice it since non-cached mapping with GPS fails to load map data as I drive or streaming podcasted programs that cut out. I look and find the 3G or E icons gone even though my bars are all there, as if it went into basic GSM only mode. I notice this problem most when on voice calls that drop too. Since it's somewhat repeatable in certain sections of the highways I travel on most often I believe it is related to areas with weak signal tower handoffs where the phone does not get connected to the new tower properly and does not recover from it on it's own. Switching to airplane mode and back resolves the issue nearly every time.

This problem sometimes happens when relatively stationary (such as being inside of a building) as well but not nearly as often.

Care to give some info on this? :)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmbikerman:
This behaviour is fairly consistent with how cm9 is currently working for me. Keeping it on 2g or 3g only helps in my case.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmbikerman:
Beware!!

Stupidly I gave the build above a try without backing up my data. Be warned that if you install this mr jun build that it does a data wipe for you, without warning... it also will only work for you if you read chinese.

I had it running for about 30 seconds when I decided to go back to the latest FuZZ_+ build.

One drama after the next unfolded, including lack of deep sleep for my phone, many FC after restoring an older data backup etc

Hopefully normality will soon be restored, but I think I should do a full wipe and start all over again tonight.

The lesson I've learnt is not to become too complacent... I've flashed the last 30 or so updates without any wipes or any issues, time to get more careful again.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmbikerman:
Findings so far

My data connection is fairly stable now so I thought I would list my findings so far, maybe you guys could benefit from this. As mentioned before, the data connectivity problem has many levels… just because I have often experienced loss of data while my device is very much awake, does not mean it does not have a problem in deep sleep, for example.

Here’s what I’ve experienced so far:

1.	Having only one APN in your APN list is better, I delete unnecessary APNs.

2.	Selecting only 2G or only 3G is better, I leave my phone on 2G and switch to 3G when I want to access the Internet.

3.	Forcing your phone to work on a specific network is better, if you have the option to roam on another network, that is.

4.	Older networks seem more problematic than newer networks (just a hunch).

5.	Some sim cards can be problematic, I recently bought a new sim card and it improved my connectivity 10 fold, but I still have the odd disconnect if I disobey the rules above.

The dropout seems to be caused by an incorrect handover from cell tower to cell tower, or network to network, or one network type to another, so by limiting these changeovers, you limit the chance of dropouts. My connectivity is pretty much “perfect” now, although it would be great to leave everything on auto without concern. If you want to do that, you could install Connection Checker, by Jeremy Chase. This app toggles Airplane mode if it detects a data disconnect. I don’t use it anymore though.

I’m on FuZZ_’s 30 June CM9+ build at the moment.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktxda1988:
After I read the log, I guess the connectivity lost problem comes from the timeout of locating the data network.

1. the system looks for the data network, the network will occasionally lost, that is normal (e.g. switching cells)

2. system tries to looks for available data network, but some telecom companies fail to respond within the timeout. According to the log, it is 20000ms/60000ms.

3. network unreachable

Solution: extends the timeout period, or search again after such case (unreachable)

I know that seldom do the developers read these posts. If someone could contact them, please try conveying this message to them.

Type of service provider: Normal (Orange FR)

Cell reception area: Bad

Data type problematic: All types

Access Point Names - APN: internet

Proxy: blank

Due to low signal my data connection keeps changing between Edge & HSDPA, but without loosing data connection most of the time, it's when I go somewhere I have even worse or even no signal that I loose it and it never reconnects.

I really hope a better workaround than using plane mode to get the connection back will be found by our beloved devs.

EDIT: maybe I should add that I sometime (but rarely) I also loose the phone connection

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbllaazzee:
Mine is Defy (Bayer) running Quarx defy + 16-Jul build with GB kernel. Mine is all set to default/auto and data connectivity works without any interruption even while traveling across towers. I just have one APN (it got auto configured from my provider).

To save power I have checked 2G only, but it does not matter if it is checked or not. May be just one APN works well.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmbikerman:
My wife's Defy (Bayer) is on a different network to mine, and also has no connectivity issues what so ever. So I'm of the opinion that only certain types of networks are affected by this bug.

My network has old and new technology working side by side and when a switch happens from old to new or new to old, connectivity is lost. My wife's phone is all new technology, hence no issues.

You're probably fortunate enough to also be on a all new (or all old) type network.

My service provider has indicated an upgrade to the existing network in the next month, so maybe my issues will be a thing of the past then, at least in the area that I live and work in.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm starting to make peace with the fact that it will probably not get fixed, so some feedback from the devs is great.

Funnily, it looks like my own data disconnect situation improved the last week or so. I'm running Epsylon3 latest 2012-07-14 CM9 build, and instead of 20 disconnects a day, I now get maybe one a day. Touchwood. It's probably related to some change with the network though. Hopefully it lasts.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktxda1988:
After various trials, i come to similar conclusion with maniac103. I think it could not be fixed easiliy. According to related posts, cm7 already has it, not just an ics issue. I think the stock module has some "secret" that our outsiders don't know, may be some special handshaking parameters provided by the telecom service providers. I think the current possible solutions ( at least at this stage), try other provider, or use stock rom. As data connection is important to me,and I don't want to use tools like connection checker. I rolled back to 2.3.6 stock rom, i will try one whole week to test if the problem is removed. Report later. :(
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbE:
Since Friday (20th July) now i'm on Quarx CM10 and every evening i flashed the new nightly. I did not delete unnecessary APNs and leave 2g/3g on Auto (default).

I had no Problems so far.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmbikerman:
That's very interesting... I was on the 20th build for a day and also had no problems... I've since updated to 21 and 22 builds and am seeing many disconnects. Maybe I should try flash the 20th build again.

EDIT: Tried the 20th build again but aside from some apps not getting any connectivity, the dropout still happened.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sigma47:
Ktmbikerman...thx for the upkeep on this issue! Frustrating to hear maniac's thoughts though. I just had a stupid idea when I was thinking about this issue. My data connection is so intermittent I get steamed! And if everyone was having this issue many who are smarter than myself would have reverted to a rom that works by now. But only a few of us relative to all defy cm users are having the issue...phones same, ROM same...could it be old SIM cards? I know silly but its late in MN.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmbikerman:
Hello Sigma47, the sim card can definitely contribute. I changed mine a few months ago and it did help, but not completely. As mentioned before, this is a multilayered issue. I think the network type you're on makes all the difference. My wife's defy is working perfectly on Vodacom with CM9.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbE:
Today I had my first connection problem on CM10. :( a mobile data toggle via notification bar solves the issue.

Now I deleted unused APNs and configured 2G only...like on CM9. :-\

On the other Hand...nice to see that I had no problems for 3-4 days.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmbikerman:
Yes, 3-4 days without a dropout is bearable.

I'm back on Epsy's defy plus build (230712) and it seams pretty solid too, no dropouts all day, compared to two or three an hour on CM10. I'm also trying a new tack with the APN settings. I usually create a Red Bull Mobile APN and delete the default APNs. The default Cell C APN works when I'm roaming on the Cell C network, but data then does not work if I roam on the Vodacom Network.

Maybe it'll make a difference in that it will limit the automatic switching of networks which causes the dropouts.

Hi everyone

I tried to search forum but i dunno if there exits already this thread but i will explain here my details

I have samsung galaxy s2 at&t sgh-i777 cyanogen mod 7

The problem is when i receiv as gift from my father (he did buy at china) the phone wasnt original stock but prolly the china did flash cm7 and some kernel and govern (i think maybe is active for now ondemand if i can understand).

But i cant know which kernel is current using? how i can to see this info?

Searching forum many use AOKP, Fluxxi, Shostock and so on but my phone how i could know which one is using this kernel at moment? is there an app that i can see all system there? I tried using with Z device test but the information android OS is not enough.

I have to flash cm9 soon but first i must know all the info before to start this.

For modems is easy to see i have to tap on info about device that ok...but i need a full information so will help me a lot.

Thank for support :)

Ummmm.... How about go to settings, scroll down and touch "about phone" then look under "Kernel version"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alan2012:
Ya thought that but is just number not name kernel if that help lol

How i would figured it?

kernel current anyway is 2.6.35.7 gedb93beatinm@wolverine#1

If was a kernel for CM7 ok but using Fluxxi for example what is then? is based still cyanogen? or Fluxxi is just a name rom?

This give me a bit confuse..

I saw some topic talking about kernel for siyah but i still dont understand if was for cmw or is just a kernel different way to work with this phone.

For this i need understand what he did chinese update my phone and what current kernel..

EDIT= i found on site for AT&T http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyS2ATT/kernels

So this mean there are only 3 kernels compatible on this SGH-I777 isnt?

If that so then i have to know which one of this 3 kernels is current on my phone hmmm someone could give me a hint please?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
you are using the kernel that COMES PACKAGED WITH CM7

i dont know why you would go to some other website looking for info, when all you have to do is open up the dev section here and READ.

there are more than 3 kernels available to you, but not many options if you are staying on CM7. if you are staying on CM7, just leave the kernel alone...

you dont really need to know anything more about what you currently have on your phone, because its simple. you are running CM7 with the kernel that was packaged with the rom. any rom you flash will have a kernel with it...

you see kernel names and are confused, i get that, but if you open the dev section and read, you will see threads marked as [KERNEL] or [ROM]....pretty simple to distinguish the 2.

for CWM, with Samsung devices, all custom kernels have cwM packaged in them, you dont need to do anything else but flash the rom after following the instructions in the first post on the rom thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
Take a snapshot of your "About phones" before and after flashing any custom ROM and you see the difference.

For more kernel detail, bring up "CPU Spy" and take a snapshot before and after, and compare.

I didn't understand any of this lol. But are u trying to say an app developer told u that an app isn't compatible with your phone because of a custom ROM? If so that's crazy. And shouldn't affect anything. Normally when an app says its incompatible its because u changed the dpi. If u didn't, I would try clearing the data on Google framework and Google playstore.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alan2012:
Yes exactly that i try to say but what exactly mean dpi? I didn't know about it anyway and about clearing is there a thread about step to step for it? Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Yes. There are threads on both. Do a Google search for clearing google framework and do one for clearing playstore data. If u don't know what DPI is u probably didn't change it. DPI is the resolution size for the display on the phone. (How big or small things look on the phone) Stock DPI is 240 for our phones.
