[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoipoloi:
hi,

the fix works fine for me, but sometimes (like twice in a week), the browser fails to load websites with a dns lookup error. If I switch from 3G to 2G and back, it works fine again. While this error occurs, the signal bars are blue but the traffic arrows do not appear.

Any idea for this?

P.S.: To those who still can't get it to work: I had to activate national data roaming, after that it worked fine for me.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcmaxx:
Is there any log file where the disconnects (or the re-connects) appear?

This would allow checking the success of other improvements (baseband switch for example).
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PinkyFloyd:
how the f?

so how do I apply this? "Install Zip from SD card"??? I tried this last night and my Defy just gets stuck in the boot animation.

Please help. I'm such a n00b. :cowboy:

/edit: Or is it "Apply update from SD Card"....? Maybe that's where I went wrong...?

I would suggest upgrading to Quarx's 12-09 build. I believe he has implemented this patch along with some refinements for ril. Look at Quarx's development thread if you need instructions on how to update to 12-09.

PS: I'm assuming you are already using JB
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikhil.t:
Me too! I'm still facing data dropouts although its not as frequent as before (Baseband has not been changed). Thanks to SlugZero and Quarx at least there's some progress! Hopefully the problem will be completely resolved soon :)

---------- Post added at 03:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 PM ----------

It's best to install Quarx's Latest build as the patch has been integrated in it, plus this build is much more smoother than the last one. :)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frullewulle:
I think that the patch has some side effects.

Could it be that every time the data conenction is restored, gps is disbaled en enabled again.

Happens when I use gps navigation app like waze....

But never the less, it works well for restoring data connection :)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roomunho:
still having problems

first of all thanks a lot SlugZero. I was waiting for that fix for few months. my Defy is smartphone again :D

but i noticed that fix works very well but only for few days. as time goes by ;) breaks between droping and resuming are longer. i updated to CM10 12.09 on thusrday and on sunday my phone was unable to recover data connection for hole day. turning off and on mobile data did nothing (it was helping me earlier). I had to restart my phone. it works perfectly (with few minut breaks) till now. I hope it was only bad luck (some CPU governors issue or maybe my operator).

anyway. great work with that fix!

PS. please forgive my english

Bug not totally fixed

Hi,

I also noticed the same issue. The patch did solve the connectivity bug but only during a few days if you never restart your phone... After this period, nothing can fix the connectivity issue, even going to plane mode. The only solution is a reboot..

Switched baseband after the fixed - latest Quarx Build

I switched baseband after the fixed - latest Quarx Build (20120912) to Central Europe 2.51

I was on 3.4.2-145 previously and had dropouts after a few days, maybe 7 days without.

I am on 2.51 for 2 days now without issue.

Will report if something changes.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chelmix:
I'm really sorry but the word "FIXED" should be removed from the topic's title

In my case, it's even worse.

Before (on CM9), when a data dropout occured, I could restore it by switching data off and on (very quickly, with the "Data Enabler" widget on my desktop).

Since I upgraded to quarx' latest CM10 (clean install, wipe data) data dropouts still ocure, and the bad news is that i need to reboot my phone to get it back... :(

How long did you wait for automatic recovery?

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chelmix:
I'm using Europe/Central Europe/3.4.x Baseband (I live in France)

But I already tried all basebands when running CM9 and it never changed anything

The data icon remains normal, it is blue, with the E/3G/H sign, but without transfer arrows.

After some other tests, I must recognize that data recovers automatically most of the time... But it seems to take several minutes, and the droupouts seem to happen more frequently than before.

I'll try to use it some more days to make sure of all this !

It's not exactly a connectivity bug

but, maybe some of you guys can help. Last build (24/09/12), Defy Plus, GB kernel, I have some problems or at least it seems so.

The 2g/3g signal icon is grey, but the connection is working almost well. Only google talk seems to have problems. Everything else including browser is working fine. Already tried wiping cache and Delvik.

p.s. I did a full wipe before installing the 24/09 build.

I think there is definitely hope...

I usually switch my phone to flight mode at night, but last night I decided to leave it connected to the dodgy 2G network at my home... this morning the GSM indicator was still beautiful ICS blue. I cycled to work over a mountain pass this morning and the phone connected to the 3G network perfectly on the other side.

Let's see how it goes today.

Only 1 APN in the list (not sure if it matters any more)

works for me.. though i feel its too less if i set the time to 5 mins... but i hv seen that if i set it to 10 sometimes.. the "data shows connected" although the messages arent updated(like in whatapp..) so its best if I set it at 5 min

Edit: oh i see uv switched to 0606.. m still on 0528.. works fine for me..only for this bug.. i think i'll wait more till newer updates..until we get sm very noticeable differences from the current..

I'm downloading Eppy's 0606 build to make a try, it's 06/06 morning here still...lol going to nandroid first because Eppy's used to be more unstable on my Defy than Quarx's Build and camera didn't work... let's see if this solve the problem!

If this helps i'll anxious waiting for Quarx to merge this corrections in a new build, his last is for 26/05 and it's the one that i'm using since then!

By the day i will give news about...

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmbikerman:
As I expected, one level of the data connectivity bug has been fixed, but the other, related to switching between 2G and 3G still is present. I have the first drop out after 4 hours when the phone auto switched from 2G to 3G. If I force it to either 2G or 3G it works perfectly.

I suspect this is caused by the fact that I'm on a virtual (piggyback) network. I'd like to get some more input on this one from you guys once you've installed the latest build.

Or it could be because I was messing with the IPv4/IPv6 setting in the APN. Set it back to IPv4 only now to see if it'll make a difference.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erdnuesse:
Maybe my problem is no more related to this one...

I experienced a dropout yesterday - again.

I was at work, wit wifi on, and Juicedefender, which switched all my data to wifi.

As I left work, my wifi stayed on, due to no "auto kill wifi when not connected"-setting.

As I killed it manually, I had no data connection.

Well this is no more a dropout, because I can not say that I really had a data connection via 2G/3G before, because it was only wifi.

I'll keep this thread in mind, anyway.

+1 !

Many regular and deep connection drops with 11.02/11.07 on my 525.

Usually my connection drops completely when I quit flight mode in the morning, leaving me with some gray bars and several connection tries. No data connection, no phone!

Today mornning as example:

-Turning off flight mode

-Connection try-gray-connection try-gray-connection try- gray- nothing happens anymore

-Connectivity Checker detects problem, switches flight mode twice, connection try, gray bars

-I reboot the phone- connection tries-gray bars

-I shutdown the phone, take out the battery, wait, restart-connection tries-gray

-I reboot into recovery, wipe dalvik cache, reboot-connects fast, bars are blue, connection reestablished... finally

This appears, no matter if I am on 3g or automatic, no matter what baseband. I don't even have gapps installed, because I read some positive experiences with connectivity without them. I think all known tricks just reduce the ammount of reconnects in specifical environments, but the main problem is, that after a connection drop, nothing effective happens to recover. If I remember right, the problem exists for a very long time, including 2.2 stock (on defy 525). The stock rom just rebooted if it was unable to recover, so did 09.24 of CM10 several times when I turned off flight mode. 11.02/11.07 just hangs up and does nothing.

Are you sure the lately published wake-up-patch, which seems to have fixed the problem, is still present the newer CM-versions? I checked the framework but found no such code like the fixing patch did perform!!! Not even in 09_24, but 11_02 performs some additional cleaning up upon connection checking, removing unneeded (dead?) connection entries.

So: Dalvik Cache whipe fixes the problem temporarily as a starting point for examination.

One funny observation: If I turn on Wifi while having gray bars, for the time, Wifi is activated, the bars turn blue, but with no real phone connection established.

I'm trying to set the mobile network preference to WCDMA Preferred but when I type the code *#*#4636#*#* the settings stays only on GSM Auto (PRL). The only setting that stays is WCDMA ONLY but this is not good because when no 3g signal the phone does not connect to 2g.

EDIT: The new bug affects the phone too (no more connection even if the signal is full the only sign is no more blue signal icon - only reboot solves the problem)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huegli:
I just switched back to CM7.0, to the "good old time" before the worst bug ever. :cowboy:

First thing I observed was an incredible boost on internet speed at HDSPA (Defy 525) compared to cm10 on HDSPA (11_2, 11_7) together with a very noticeable reduced accu drainage on 2g/3g auto mode, compared to later cm7.x versions (those with the bug). My CM10 was noticeable slower on HDSPA, more like it was running Edge or 2g. So I suspect that CM10-HDSPA is not really HDSPA but just an unstable 2g, especially since the accu usage was sensational low with CM10 on 2g/3g auto and on 3g only, again more like running 2g only.

All the observations are subjective observations, no objective measurements, but maybe someone want to have a look at it with a speedtest.
