[G1 Android Development] overpower:
I am running into this issue now. My logs are showing unknown host errors and my 3G is dropping on and off. I have rebooted, and reflashed the latest HTC radio. Have yet to wipe or do a radio update, 3.9 update.

I am not seeing the

D/EAS_AppSvc( 299): 03201747 NETWORK_STATE_CHANGED: NetworkInfo: type: MOBILE[UMTS], state: DISCONNECTED/DISCONNECTED, reason: (unspecified), extra: epc.tmobile.com, roaming: false, failover: false, isAvailable: false

issues though in my log.

I am located in Los Angeles in case it might be a localized issue and not rom related.

I am however seeing a correlation between losing the 3G signal and this log entry.

Here's some extended logging of GPS Location Provider related errors:

Could it be a sherpa issue? I currently have my wireless location set to enable, I'll disable it now.

Edit:

Wifi based location is now off and still happening. Focusing only on the GpsLocationProvider. Is there a timeout issue forcing a reconnect?

Workaround

Even with location off and 2G the issues remained.

Switched my APN and no issues now:

internet2.voicestream.com

Tmobile's other old one is:

wap.voicestream.com

Most likely a tmobile issue and not a rom issue unless something in the newer builds makes the negotiation too aggressive for tmobile. The fact it persisted for lancealtar through 3.8.x makes me think localized.
