same for me,

o2 Germany, changed wrapper and changed dns but no difference at all :(

i notice the data disc problem very often because i have extremely bad reception at work.

Almost everytime i open the window to check my mails or something i get HSDPA Connection but the Stuck Arrows-Problem.

I think its related to the many Connection changes there (it changes from zero to Edge to Hsdpa and back many times, also kills battery very fast :/ )
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] _Ascetic:
So, I got more bars in more places BUT, I couldn't connect to anything. So pretty much it would display the H and four bars in a lot of places but it wouldn't work no matter where I tried to connect (Internet, Youtube, Market) Any help? Thanks in advance.

Change kernel as per my sig so far smooth.....no drops. Will keep you posted on results on the kernel about data drops. My plan is also to switch to WiFi all weekend and see what's gonna happen.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sorin129:
yes please let me know if that kernel has any drops. Im on hastarin r7.6 right now and I still have data drops
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
i don't have data drops using mdeejay's 3.1 with hastarin's r7.6 with modified dns servers. By the way, i'm with Simple Mobile.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LvDisturbed1:
Yeah definitely let us know what your results are. Still don't know why it can't fetch DNS settings automatically...kind of annoying.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JanssoN:
If anyone has some spare time, could you check following:

I'm using mattc 1.8 w/ sense since a while now. At the moment I'm on the 2.14 radio and Chucky's Lite ROM. Also I'm using hastarin's 7.5 Kernel with OC and so on.

The thing now is that I never had any data drops since I have updated my wrapper (that was about 2 weeks ago). I'm curious and would like to know if anyone could reproduce this. Please send me a PM if you have some time or if you have done it. I would really like to know why.

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] plotzkella:
For all those who are experiencing problems with ppp-kernels there is a test-version of hastarin's new kernel with RMNET-Support here.

Remember that a rmnet-build is needed!

As more people are testing the new kernel the faster we will hopefully get a solution. :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] roman2113:
Sweet! Thanks for the info! I'm gonna see if this works with my current build.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ChrisM001:
Cause it may help some people I'm going to post the workaround I posted in the other thread also here.

(I think it was unnecessary to open a second thread on the same subject. Maybe the mods could merge this two threads.)

The ril wrapper of 9/28 seems to be defect. It seems to work for approximately 2 days before connection drops return.

The following workaround works for me:

Whenever the first data drops occur

1. Make a copy of the actual ril wrapper.

2. Rename actual ril wrapper.

3. Rename copy in order to use copy of ril wrapper as actual ril wrapper

4. Restart mobile internet

This "restart" of the ril wrapper grants for 2 more days without connection drops.

It would be nice if the devs could fix ril wrapper, so that it can be used more than 2 days without the necessity of the above described copying solution.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RedWave31:
You can:

- Use the new wrapper! It really helps! (Thanks noellenchris btw)

- Check if your APN settings are correct (apns_config.xml file)

- Try configuring your build.prop with:

>ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=1

>ro.telephony.default_network=0 (3G/HSDPA forced until really no network)

>ro.ril.hsxpa=2

>ro.ril.gprsclass=12

>ro.ril.hsdpa.category=10

>ro.ril.hsupa.category=7

>net.ppp0.dns1= DNS1

>net.ppp0.dns2= DNS2

>net.dns1= DNS1

>net.dns2= DNS1

>net.dns3= DNS2

(feel free to use your own provider info, as i've had ISSUES with OpenDNS)

What about the builds that do not have a system folder? I am using one of the mdeejay builds (not sure exactly which one, I think the mdeejay froyo Z build) and it doesn't have a system folder where that build.prop fie is supposed to be. What can I do if I can't edit the build.prop file? Thank you
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dubie76:
It should be there but you have to use a root explorer in order to see the folder.

Still no drops. everytime I unlock the screen it plays the weather animation. So I know that weather is always in sync.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nismo300zx:
did u only change the kernal only or did u update the dns and put in the htcril_wrapper??

i heard the ril wrapper from 9/28 had something wrong with it causing the 2day data working and then drops
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fordfanboi:
Using the DNS servers I pulled when in WinMo and the above settings, it's working well so far and seems VERY fast. Will see if it'll go beyond 2 days.

Those are the same DNS servers that I extracted through the terminal back on page 3 using bangsters 1.5 rmnet ROM

did you change only the ppp0.dns 1 & 2? Or did you change the net.dns 1&2 as well?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sorin129:
Well I changed that wrapper and still had data drops. maybe you can post your wrapper, I'll try that to because I'm desperate :)

Well it's a long story why it was open another thread about this but I do agree with you that they should be merged now.

I'm interested to know also this. As of right now I changed both and I will give it a try

So there is no solution for pop issues? I will go with rmnet builds again, I need to use my GPS without issues.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jaidedfocus:
I found something that may help, but whether it is worth it is up to the user lol. So, was trying to download some apps and one in particular would not download (Loopt). So following tips from other threads I unmounted my SD card.

Long story short, I remembered it was unmounted about 2 hrs later and noticed no data disconnects. I know this cause my phone did not show the arrow stuck in an up position under my 3G which it normally does when it's left for a few hours. Or even minutes sometimes. Yesterday it was almost unsuable.

Since I wasn't sure this true or not I left it unmounted for a few more hours until I got to work where I get a horrible signal and have data freezes constantly. I mounted the card and left it on the charger and sure enough data freeze.

Not a very scientific or technical approach but maybe someone else can try it out to see if this helps. Of course, can't play any music or or view pictures but I figured at work would be the best time to do it since normally I don't anyway.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sorin129:
well if that its true maybe someone can figure out how to get a fix for this problem. I just hope that this problem will be fixed soon. This is the only thing from having perfect running android on our phones.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gork1975:
Hi.

I have got a lot of data drops in the past, trying different WinMo Roms´s and changing the Android Rom daily.

About 30 hours i am running a complete stable Android without any data drop´s.

Here are my changes: Don´t know if one of these things be the solution, but for me now everything is perfect. Maybe on of these points help anybody else.

I use the OzDroid Rom from here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=774417

It is fast and stable, got a beautifull Bootloader and in case of problems on the "Android Side" i can use it as a fully working system.

Next thing i never did before, was formatting my sd card (8gb class 6 from Transcend) by the OzDroid Rom. There is an SD Formatter inside which formats the card with 32 Clusters.

The Last Thing is the Android itself. I am using the FroyoStone Sense - V3.2 from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=747492

It is very very fast, stable and everything works like it should. I don´t know what darkstone did with this rom, but it´s awesome.

Everyone is talking about the build.prop. the only thing that i see different in my build.prop is that the DNS Settings on the end where only with ppp0. I attache my build.prop as a .txt maybe someone find a solution for himself.

Sorry for my bad english and the best regards

kernel fixes my problem

Maybe it's only me but I've tried just about every Hastarin kernel from 4.1 and up and those data issues I get with each one for the exception of the r6. As a matter of fact the only time I get a data issue is when I run into a dead zone, since I drive for a living, and get back into coverage area. At times it won't connect but just a little network on and off switch and I'm back in business but while in San Antonio I get no data drops with the kernel.

Edit: But of course you lose some of the fixed features in the newer kernel but I'd rather have my data working.
[HD7 General] rafter_01:
Morning peeps,

just a mention, i'm quite amazed with the lack of marketing for the HD7.

Just walked into a o2 shop to confirm if the HD7 is still on for 21st Oct and the answer was YES. But there no HD7 pics or notice on the o2 shop front.... why?

2 days left and no advertising...
[HD7 General] xma1e:
It was exactly the same last year with the release of the HD2 and I imagine it happens all the time with new phones.

Last year they released the HD2 without marketing online or in any of the UK shops, but by lunchtime they had sold out their stocks. It was the same story over at Vodaphone UK.

Remember, you're probably not the only person to have walked into the shop and asked for the HD7 and I can imagine demand will be high for the first few weeks. After that HTC will probably have more units made.
[HD7 General] rafter_01:
cool, but as i recall correctly, IPHONE 4 was marketed much better and well before its release. why not just copy it
[HD7 General] xma1e:
I agree, Apple are good at that. MS doesn't have any real say over the OEMs and it is HTC supplying the devices to O2. HTC are also supplying several models on launch day, so I imagine they don't have all their factories making one model. AT the end pof the day we will never know.

Lets just hpe we don't have the hardware mess that was the iPhone antennae
[HD7 General] Will101:
So far here in the UK I haven't seen

any

advertising for Windows Phone 7. The only ads I've seen are ones I've found myself through reading about WP7 on sites like engadget and other tech news sites. If I was a member of Joe public, I'd have no clue it existed unless I'd actively been looking on Orange's website at phone upgrades.

Maybe I haven't been hanging around bus stops enough to see the advertising posters?
[HD7 General] xma1e:
I agree I haven't seen anything either. I do recall knowing about the new iPhone 4 about a week before it was released, I think MS has missed the boat here.
[HD7 General] kapi91:
The marketing of the features on this phone is truly a disappointment. My single favourite feature is the wireless sync. My brother always tells me hes jealous for that feature alone (he has an iphone 4). But most likely no one will hear about this and apple will introduce it in their next update and it will be the greatest thing that apple has done and all microsoft can do is sit there and say we had that first.

I don't see a point in this thread as it have been know for a long time how to get in to download mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mengsuan:
I guess the 5 Galaxy S that you tested do have a proper bootloader.

Your steps of 3 button are exactly what everyone uses to access download mode.

For those without 3 button recovery, you can press all day long and nothing happens.

access download mode in without 3br fix

I mean if you have galaxy s i9000 without 3br.

Is what you can still have access to download mode without flashing a new bootloader.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mengsuan:
You didn't get it. Not all device have broken 3br feature.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ranwej:
I think that he want to tell us, that you need to pressing those buttons and not just hold them. Pressing 3 buttons at once repeatedly for some time. I can't test that, i flashed fix for 3br.

Or i'm totally wrong and he is too.. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dani31:
hmmm... NO!

My friend, my SGS was bootloader locked. I pressed the sh*t out of the three buttons in all conceivable ways, and no Download mode. Nothing. Nil. Zero.

All your 5 phones were bootloader unlocked, if 3BR is not working the only solution is flashing a new bootloader.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FadeFx:
Galaxy S i9000, so the international version, is not affected by 3br problem afaik. So seems to me like you enabled can now do something everyone could already do before...

Mine was the international version and had the 3BR problem.

Could we stop the nonsense please.

OKay

Here a Breaf

i have Two Galaxy S.

One is 8Gb GT-i9000 purchased from O2 UK. This model has correct boot loader with no 3 Button combo Issue.

Then i purchased a another galaxy S i9000 16GB from India it's Running DDJG4 MODEM, PDA, AND csc. In this model i tried running 3 button combo but nothing happes as it's turns on and showing Galaxy Boot Screen. Insted of Download mode. Same appiled for recover.

So Today i take a risk and applied a update with Odin 1.3.

XXJPM. It got stucked on Sutep connection. And last option i have to disconnect. I decided not to flast boot loader. So means there's no 3 button combo Fix.

After reset removing battery. i turend it on and it showed MOBILE then computer (SCREEN OF DEATH) Then i keep pressing VOL DOWN + HOME + POWER and then mobile went off then Again on showed the logo. and again restart and come in download mode. So i got it. Yes i tried it on other Broken bootloader galaxy s and it worked.

I guss this is enough and you all got what i want to say.

Thank-you
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ricpersi:
you know, download mode is not the same as recovery, just like "volume down" is not the same as "volume up".. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] puiuflorinel:
So what you say is that if your flashing went wrong and you got the screen with android and the computer, then somehow download mode is activated for e-fused phones that weren't capable to go in download mode before...

Can someone courageous enough verify this? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Spitfire128:
Hm. Now before you all mock the hell out of him, I was under the impression that if you didn't have 3BR and you a flash went bad your phone's pretty much irreversibly bricked.

If I'm not wrong about that, and if what he posted above is true (and assuming I understood it correctly), you wouldn't have to send to repair service - instead one could just go into download mode the way he described and flash away at it with Odin3, right?

That would be a valuable discovery. But yeah, I wonder who's gonna feel like putting that to the test.

EDIT: Really though, just apply the 3BR fix if you can't get into recovery/download mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] puiuflorinel:
I guess that's what he is trying to say.

Actually it make sense: semi bricked phone mode can access download mode...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nanoinside:
Excatly.

I have done this to my OWn SGS 16Gb Indian version. You don't have to send it to Service center insted you can do this with odin.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Spitfire128:
When flashing goes wrong for me though I don't usually end up on this "screen of death" but it gets stuck at the boot screen. This method wouldn't work for that, would it?

It may be useful for people in the same situation as you, it's a good find, but really people, apply the fix and be done with it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nanoinside:
It's just the method to enter in download mode is quite diffrent :) than normal or OLD Samsung galaxy s. You don't have falsh the boot loader.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nanoinside:
You don't have to flash a OLD bootloader. I guss doing that can cause you a brick phone. Cause it's already there in you mobile. Just the way to enter in download mode is diffrent.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darkimmortal:
Not sure if it's relevant, but my phone will only enter download or recovery mode roughly 10% of the time (with no change in how and when I press the buttons), and only after cycling the battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ragin:
I tried the 3BR on my friends one day old phone bought in India. Odin reported FAILED. When I tried to start the phone, it showed the funny little pic with computer & '!' mark. I think 3BR doesn't yet work for newer Indian SGS.

Well, I need to try THIS method now.

Look, I had the pc ! phone screen and it didn't matter what I tried or for how long I tried it - it wasn't going into recovery or download mode.

Seriously. I had it here for almost two weeks bricked before organising to have it fixed by a service centre.

This was an international Galaxy S from Hong Kong with 3br disabled.

Samsung'll fix it out of warranty (if you bought it second hand or internationally) for around $30-$50.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Brownstone:
I have an International SGS from Vodaphone which will not allow me to hold the Up Vol, Home and Power buttons to enter Android Recovery mode. However, when I pull the battery, put it back in, then press all three buttons at the same time approximately twice a second, I can eventually get into Android Recovery Mode. I say eventually, as it takes a few tries. Try varying the time between each set of button presses and the length of time you hold each button in.

I lost the ability to enter it normally a few weeks ago. No idea how, it just stopped working all of a sudden. I do try all sorts of different ROMs, so maybe one of those wiped it.

If your 3 button combo doesn't work, just be patient, pull battery before each attempt, and press all three buttons at once, repeatedly.

Cheers,

BS...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dyallo:
