Actually i have some more comments...

after working great and fine for some time, i installed latest Google Maps 4.1 from the web , and little time after that the issue returned... :S... that's interesting since this Chucky ROM DOES NOT HAVE GOOGLE MAPS COOKED-IN, and all others custom and even stock ROMs, do .

i hard resetted, and i am still using it without installing gmaps... to verify this theory... i'll let you know...

any other interested on issue would be helpful to try it also, so we can share results.
[HD2 General] cgrec92:
very good, thanks for the update

previously in this thread someone mentioned disabling the location service from the registry as this fixed it for them, although not for others, but it's all related to google maps isn't it..

perhaps the location service is a problem although disabling it doesn't really change anything, let us know how you get on without google maps

if this is the case then we have a pretty simple solution :)
[HD2 General] Nimche:
@rodrigofd,

I installed Chucky per you instrucion and so far better than the rest of them.

I like it more and thank you for your advise, I will report back later...

Used a "kitchen sink" approach as per many recommendations in this thead and I have been fine for the past 16 or so hours (knock on wood). Only side effect is that I have no handoff -- just a solid H all day long. Seems it never switches down to 3G from HSDPA and the data connection doesn't turn off. In just 6 hours overnight the battery tanked from 100% to 66%. I'm gonna turn off automatic data downloading for Sense and see where that gets me. I don't mind a solid H as long as I always have data access.
[HD2 General] rodrigofd:
What do you mean by 'kitchen sink' ?
[HD2 General] friend'scatdied:
I used a number of purported solutions. I disabled My Location through settings and registry, disabled turning off the device automatically (as per the guy that linked the T-Mobile forum), and some others I can't recall from perusing this thread.

Altogether they seemed to have worked. I couldn't hold a connection more than five minutes earlier.. I'm good for hours and hours now without a single dropout (again, knock on wood).

The ONLY con is that battery life is horrendous because I have no HSDPA -> 3G handoff, and my data connection seems to always be on. But I'm assuming this has something to do with Windows Live Push, so I can live with it.
[HD2 General] paulgreen19:
same old crap...

tmobile hd2 on 2.13.531.1

had it for about a week, and instantly noticed i had no 3G, just edge. My roommate, who is also on t mobile, has full 3G on his my touch. I'm not having an issue with my data being switched off or dropping, just no 3G

I have seen 3G on it when im closer to the main city.

My current plan of action is calling t mobile as often as 10 times a day to report this issue. most of the CS reps claim they haven't heard of such an issue and only one of 30 plus CS reps Ive talked to told me they were working on this problem. Another told me a letter would be more effective.

*Many said I will be given an account credit if the problem continues.

so yep, same old crap. sucks guys.

P.s. im taking my phone back tomorrow for a new one, ill let you guys know if that helped... im not optimistic about it though.
[HD2 General] Stan City:
Reward if Found!!!

So there is not a real fix for this yet?

I think we need to accumulate a reward fund for the founder of the cure.

I'd be willing to pay for the fix, other than the Data Connection drops this device is hot!
[HD2 General] friend'scatdied:
I've flashed a custom ROM and radio (now on CleanEx UDT UniQ Mini 1.05 with 2.09.50) and was initially having the data disconnect issues again. I went through my potpourri of registry tweaks (disabling my location, setting auto-disconnect and GPRS_bye_if_device_off), disabled idle-turnoff, and manually input my APN settings and not only does the data connection seem to be working OK for the past day or so, but I'm also getting HSDPA -> 3G handoff working according to the taskbar. Battery life still seems to be crap (losing 25% over 9 hours on standby) but I'm assuming this is because I have Live Push e-mail enabled (Live Push was bad on my S620 battery as well). I'll leave it on and as-is for a week or so and report back -- but so far I've been using Opera and downloading heavily and e-mailing and texting without any data drops whatsoever.
[HD2 General] rodrigofd:
Actually i kind of found the 'fix'... see to believe :P

Just stop using EnergyROM, and flash ChuckyROM, 'tabtastic' (you'll find it on first page of HD2 ROM forum).... you don't lose anything, just try it for a couple of days and you'll see...

WARNING : DO NOT INSTALL GOOGLE MAPS !!!! Seems to be related to the issue...

Please report back
[HD2 General] Nimche:
@rodrigofd,

I did try the lite and it was much better than the rest of ROM I have tried to this date. Per your recommandation, I just flashed again with Tabtastic. Lets see if I loose the connection again.

If you put this subject of disconnection aside, the Chucky ROM is really nice and clean/

Thank you
[HD2 General] martouf13:
Doing the following fixed my issues!

Start - Settings - Connections - Advanced Network

The tab that comes up, click on the drop down list and choose disable. Soft reset!

No drops in 2 days now! Havent rebooted phone!
[HD2 General] friend'scatdied:
What tab/drop down list? All I have in that Menu is "Select Networks", "Dialing Rules", and "Exceptions" as buttons that take me to other menus.
[HD2 General] Stan City:
LOL, I guess you wouldn't have drops with no network at all
[HD2 General] martouf13:
What are you talking about? I still get 3G just not 3.5G! The switching between the two is what screws things up! BTW, I am using a Telstra version of the LEO on AT&T!
[HD2 General] martouf13:
It should bring up a HSDPA/HSUPA bottom tab with a drop down list box that has "Enable HSDPA Only" and "Enable HSDPA/HSUPA" and "Disable". Choose disable!
[HD2 General] SH4YD33:
trying this now. h wouldnt matter to me unless im tethering.
[HD2 General] friend'scatdied:
That does work (it was actually mentioned a couple of dozen of pages ago).. but H is better enough here in my area compared to 3G that I wouldn't do that (I have HSDPA+).

I've put down all my tweaks into a .reg file. By manually setting my APN under the "My ISP" connection (renaming it to MEdiaNet) and then merging this .reg file, I am able to resolve my connectivity issues 100% of the time with every ROM I have tried.
[HD2 General] martouf13:
What tweaks do you have in your .reg file and where is that APN setting? I would appreciate knowing how to do all this!
[HD2 General] martouf13:
Ya, unless you are tethering you aren't going to noticed much "if any" difference between 3g and 3.5g on the phone itself. If you decided to tether you can just go back and change the setting. Hope it all works out for you. I love my HD2. I traded in my iPhone 3GS for it! Its funny because I have a few friends that have iPhones that drool over my HD2! LOL
[HD2 General] martouf13:
I wonder if the two different builds have something to do with it... I always used the 23569 builds with windows 6.5.5 and the nice softkeys at the bottom. Yesterday I decided to try the 91903 regular build to see if it fixed the problem and so far it seems to have done just that...data connection is still going after 24-48hrs... Its still a little early to tell for sure though. Will have to go at least another 24hrs without a loss to say its fixed.
[HD2 General] Frameshift:
After alot of calls back and forth, I finaly got the word that my HD2 will be replaced by a brand-spanking new phone. They usualy switch a HD2 with a HD2, but I asked if they could switch it for a HTC Desire. The woman on the phone told me no promises, but she will try.

I grew tired of my HD2 with this fundamental problem, and I want to make sure I wont encounter this problem again. Thats why I asked for a HTC Desire. But we shall see....
[HD2 General] Nimche:
UPDATE:

Finally after using whole bunch of different ROMs for internet disconnection issue, I did flash the Chucky Tablastic and after 91 hours of constent connection the internet still works.

I thought to update on this. I did flash the Lite first but that wasn't working but Tablestic works.

Peace
[HD2 General] Sheikmans:
Ok here is my problem and solution so far.

I don't experience performance issues related to the internet speed, but I do have web connections problems.

I have a Dutch HTC HD2 device (stock ROM 1.66) on the Vodafone network.

Since the 1.66 ROM came out I still have been using it. But sometimes I had no connection and tried all trics and tips which are posted in this topic (except other ROMs). In all cases the connection was established after one or more soft resets. But I had so many apps installed on my phone and tried so many different themes that I decided to reinstall the device 3 days ago. But after I reinstalled the device and restored and installed applications, the connection to the internet was suddenly gone. Since yesterday I have a working and stable connection again...finally!

What did I do?

- hard reset and made a registry backup

- installed Win 7 theme, Cookies Tabs, all necessary apps and some games

- made a registry backup

no problems so far with the internet connection

- adapted the registry (Sticky: [REF] *Leo Hints, Tips and Registry Tweaks*)

- made a registry backup

- adapted again the registry (Sticky: Boost performance tips (All ROMS))

- made a registry backup

No internet communication problems experienced. I charged the battery the whole night and yesterdaymorning I noticed that no connection could be established. I tried everything (except ROM) to 'repair' the connection, but without succes. It costs me so many hours, but then I decided to rollback one of the registry files. And it worked! I tried to import the first file first, then the second one and so on with succes. Since yesterday evening untill now the internet connection still works without any problems. In my opinion a conflict/error in the registry of Windows was the cause of a not connection device to the internet.
[HD2 General] friend'scatdied:
What build are you guys using? 23569 or 23120? Did you use the same build version on Lite?

I ask because I hesitate moving to Tabtastic from Lite.. Lite feels a LOT faster to me.
[HD2 General] petrosk73:
Can you please let us know if this solution still works? Also which radio rom you are using?

Thanks
[HD2 General] petrosk73:
Just found that turning off the data connection through Phone alarm causes the HD to loose connection! Anybody else having this problem and using phone alarm?
[HD2 General] UncleBeer:
What else would you possibly expect it to do? :confused:
[HD2 General] petrosk73:
No, I mean lost in the sence that I can not turn it back on again! Not even following a soft reset! The only way to get it back working is to go to edit the data connection setting again!
[HD2 General] UncleBeer:
Why not ask Penguin (the developer) over at PocketMax? He's a really helpful guy: http://www.pocketmax.net/smf/index.php
[HD2 General] petrosk73:
Yes, I know, but wanted to know whether anybody else has the same issue as it could be another application interfiaring with PA before asking Penguin to have a look at it. :)

Thanks
[HD2 General] martouf13:
Yes, it does work. I decided to try the ROM out and its awesome... I am using "ChuckyROM-23569-Tabtastic-210.May.18.sfx.exe" ROM with "Leo_Radio_2.10.50.28_2.sfx.exe" radio and connection still works after 48hrs. No lockups and no reboots... I also like this ROM more than any I have tried so far! Seems that this ROM fixes the issue!
[HD2 General] rodrigofd:
You're welcome ;)
[HD2 General] friend'scatdied:
Hm, using 23120 Tabtastic (for stability) and I still got a dropout from Opera and IE only, which is exceptionally unusual though very similar to what the OP and one or two others experienced.

But yes, even besides the connection fixes it's a wonderful ROM.
[HD2 General] sstolk:
Dutch T-Mobile provider announces problems with 3G: (google translated for the ones that don't speak dutch)

T-Mobile is calling the problems that some customers do not experience short-term solution. The cause can be found in an overloaded 3G network, whose capacity in the coming months will be greatly expanded.

Henny van der Heiden spokesman confirms to the Tweakers.net belproblemen that some customers experience directly related to the congested 3G network provider and therefore not in the short term can be solved. The company is currently expanding the network, which should solve the problems. Van der Heiden said the extension well before the end of the year must be completed, but could give no specific date. However, the phased expansion, reducing the capacity of the network must improve each week.

While T-Mobile working on the expansion, the company is trying to communicate with its customers. The helpdesk staff are informed about the problem, so they well be able to assist customers. Previously, customers were often told that the problems with their phones or SIM card was to blame. It also means the company, according to Van der Heiden various websites and forums good eye, to provide input and feedback from users to collect.

Earlier this week showed that some T-Mobile customers have problems with the 3G connection from the provider. The Internet was slow, taking phone calls are often not received. The phones of the users would not go away and the person on the other hand, would immediately be diverted to voicemail. Switching back to 2g would solve the problem. The responses to the earlier reports on Tweakers.net can be seen that the problem in the Netherlands and is not the last time. Many users recognize themselves in the described problems and give it long to bother. It is also clear that the extent of the problems closely related to strike up the site, mainly from the Utrecht area customers often seem to have been victims.

The dutch website (source): http://tweakers.net/nieuws/67575/t-mobile-op-korte-termijn-geen-oplossing-voor-belproblemen.html
[HD2 General] Frameshift:
Too bad this is totaly irrelevant to the problem. The problem is worldwide, but even in NL alone, people from all providers experience the same problems. So this wont solve anything...
[HD2 General] ennx:
So for 2 hours it's unstable.
[HD2 General] UncleBeer:
I definitely think this is provider-related. In NL, T-mobile has had a huge mobile data problem the last month, and Vodafone's had 4 or 5 extended national data failures just in the last month. It's tempting to keep switching telcos, but right now, none of them seem able to keep a reliable service going. :mad:

For more info, head over to Tweakers.net (in Nederlands): http://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_topics/100
[HD2 General] ennx:
Absolutely not provider related. My provider is perfect on every phone. I've used over two hundred phones in the past two years. I'm in the business. This is a Windows issue.
[HD2 General] Sheikmans:
I'm on Vodafone (Netherlands), but I know for sure it's not provider related because I tested it thoroughly with different phones and providers. It is related to the software.
[HD2 General] ennx:
Absolutely. I will not continue with this phone. The hardware is spectacular. It's by far the nicest phone on the market. But it's Windows. Windows! This is the worst OS on the planet. I've used them all. I'm an iPhone power user. I have a lot of experience with Android. I've never used anything as pitiful as Windows 6.5. The phone is for sale. PM me if you want it.
[HD2 General] Sheikmans:
I don't have any problems with the phone to be honest. Yes I had connection difficulties this month, but that was because of the Vodafone network in the Netherlands. So, before you sell your phone...think twice.
[HD2 General] ennx:
It takes forever to post on this board. It takes forever to write an email. It's painful to me. I'm not used to this. I hate this phone. I love the hardware.
[HD2 General] mandostoak:
Excuse me

After a 44-pages-discussion, do everyone have a workable fix? I am a bit tired to read them all....

This issue really about to drive me crazy. Now I can do nothing but stop the data connection every time it disconnects AGAIN and AGAIN.
[HD2 General] rodrigofd:
Solution

I have already given a solution !!! i told it so ...

It is not a cientific nor justifiable solution, but works (at least for me).

Flash latest custom Rom from CHUCKY 'Tabtastic' version:

Get it here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=618787

Latest version is from today (June 01).

i've done it and working for couple of weeks.. Other users did it too.

If you do try it please kindly come back here and post your objective results.

Thankx
[HD2 General] friend'scatdied:
I have no idea why it works, but it just does.

Also although past Lite versions didn't work, the Lite 23121 I tried also worked. I chose Tabtastic though because I need HTC EzInput.

It works without fail, not sure if anything else does.
[HD2 General] Nimche:
Chucky works for sure. I have had it and I won't go to any other ROMs as I am not sure what is the issue.

5+ for Chucky Tabtastic.

Makes me wonder what is in Chucky's build?
[HD2 General] facusse:
Same thing happened to me, but with a custom ROM, once I installed Radio 2.10.50.28_2, the problem was fixed.
[HD2 General] jdbpogo:
i also had this problem after flashing artimis v17 wwe and after trying many of the suggestion posted here i turned off my push email and set it to manual. the problem has stopped now for the last 72hrs. the data connection used to get dropped every half an hour or so before and i would have to restart in comm manager. i tried to recreate the connection problem by turning on the push email and the problem did reappear. has anyone else had this expirence? a workaround would be nice as i would like to enable email push.

Telus HD2 on AT&T Losing Data Connection -Solved

This has been driving me nuts. When I try to send/reciee email or go to a webpage the 'connecting' icon would start up in the title bar, and eventually I would get a Notie that the phone couldn't connect to the isp

It didn't happen all the time or everywhere, but unless I was outside where I had a really solid 3G signal it was a nearly constant problem.

To fix it I did two things. I suspect tha the first step might not have done anything, but I'm keeping it here in case it's important.

Step 1

Tap SETTINGS - CONNECTIONS - CONNECTION SETUP

make sure that the country is set as United States and the Operator is AT&T

Then tap MENU - UPDATE DATABASE and update to make sure youhave the most recent setting for AT&T

Step 2

Tap SETTINGS - CONNECTIONS - ADVANCED NETWORK

on the first Dropdown, it will be set for "Enable HSDPA/HSUPA" I changed this to "Enable HSDPA only"

Tap "Okay",then "Okay" again, then the "X" in the top right corner and you should be good to go.

My download speeds are curently ~1.5Mpbs and all my connectins are completley stable, even in an area where the 3G bounces from none to 5 bars

:)

I'd be interested in knowing if this helps anyone else.

I hope it does!

Honestly it seems the remedies and solutions are different for everyone. This problem is really like a bad case of acne -- a general problem with slightly different characteristics but VERY different causes and solutions for different people.
[HD2 General] Lucius Snow:
Anybody else can confirm this ?

Thanks.
[HD2 General] Matt7402:
My update to my radio is still work.. days and days later.
[HD2 General] teddmf:
Solved for me too

I can confirm 2.10.50.28_2 fixes the problem. I updated my radio from 2.09.51.03_2 (using 1.66 WWE ROM) and while it's been less than 24 hours, this new radio has been working great. I'd previously had lost internet connection within an hour and repeatedly. I have "H" signal without loss of connection and finally it works as it should without using bandswitch. No more connection error messages!!!
[HD2 General] reijkelhof:
I have a HD2 which looses internet data connection.

Stock HTC 1.66 rom on vodafone network.

Applications will fail to get a data connection.

To restore it, I have to goto data connections and turn it OFF and then ON again, even though it showed as ON with a full 3G signal.

Only difference to what I read from some, is that I never loose connection while surfing. It only looses the connection sometime after the phone is in sleep mode, by shortly pressing the right 'end' button.

What I noticed is sometimes when the connection is gone, I turn on my phone and will immediately receive an email, so somehow turning on the phone from sleep restores the connection (sometimes)

Also, when the data connection is not working, and I plug my phone to my pc with usb and active sync, and then unplug, the connection can get restored.

I went ahead and flashed hspl to my device and then flashed the 2.10.50.28_2 radio as advised in this thread.

It didn't seem to have helped. I seem to have lost the connection at least once since flashing it an hour ago. But we will see.

To test, I turned email check and weather check to check as often as possible, with location service turned on.

and to log when things go wrong, I use the connection state checker found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=567450

what I had been wondering about is if maybe the thing we have in common, is that the city the weather wants to update is NOT in the list of available cities to choose from when trying to add a city.

Maybe that is also why, for some people, installing a localisation package helped them solve their problem.
[HD2 General] reijkelhof:
Ok, time for some feedback on the radio 2.10.50.28_2 flash experiment.

My 'connection state checker' tells me that during the night, it could not get a response and thus fixed my connection three times, while it passed 110 good connection checks.

It was set to check every five minutes.

It is possible that the three bad connections are a result of the vodafone network not responding timely, so I will repeat the experiment without the 'connection state checker' tonight.

So far, since I flashed the radio, every time I woke up my phone the connection was good to go.

edit: 10 hours later:

Still good so far.

The connections really fly and switch between H and 3G smoothly.

Hope full.

see you tomorrow.
[HD2 General] friend'scatdied:
Radio flashes could definitely be a solution. 2.11.50 completely fixed the issue for me -- with all ROMs. I finally have the freedom to not worry about my data connection.

I had 2.10.50.08 before. Pretty sure that was a bad radio for my device and was responsible for the data disconnects.
[HD2 General] reijkelhof:
Connection is still good today.

Flashing Radio 2.10.50.28_2 seems to have been the solution to my problem.
[HD2 General] friend'scatdied:
Don't look at radios as solutions -- look at them as problems.

If you flashed to a new radio, it's just as important that you mention the radio you flashed from as the radio you flashed to.

For me, it's clear 2.10.50.08 was problematic.
[HD2 General] reijkelhof:
I wish I could tell you what radio I originally had.

The truth is I do not know. I did not know how to check.

I read this entire thread two times over before finally biting the bullet and trying a radio flash.

Something I really had not planned on, since I am not technical at all.

Radio 2.10.50.28_2 was advised a few times in this thread, and that worked, for me.

So yes, I would say that the solutions to the connection problems found in this thread, are finding the right combination of rom and radio rom.

So anyone experiencing these problems, bite the bullet, and do the hspl and radio flash thing.
[HD2 General] reijkelhof:
My connection has been operating flawlessly at my command ever since I apparently flashed a compatible radio for my device.

About 1% battery loss an hour with screen off, with email checking every half an hour.

Not having to worry about it really saves my HD2 experience.
[HD2 General] reijkelhof:
double post
