I don't know but right now I'm using , speedtest app , youtube , xiiialive, sling player .......all the internet intensive apps and no disconects yet so maybe you are on to something. I will update later but it looks good so far

Edit: well after running for a least an hour non stop all the apps listed above that would cause for sure data drops before I still had no data drops. :) this looks good, very good. I will wait a little more and then I will pots the fix (provided by fordfanboi) on the first page because this looks like it works. :) Im so happy right now. I was never able to run all those apps before for an hour straight with no data drops. I can't be a coincedence that after doing the fix data drops stoped
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sorin129:
Possible fix

I updated the first page with the steps that I and fordfanboi took to stop the data drops. So far is been working good.

weird, there's no build.conf in my /system folder

Cool. Still no drops. I think that did the trick.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bimboy:
I definitely don't have it either with Mdeejay Froyo HD 3.6... using adb shell ls /system -l

However, build.prop exists, and contains:

Looks like the link to the APN site on your main post edit may be borkt. ;) http://www.opengear.com/faq383-Configuring-3G-APNs.html#USA

Looks like I had build.conf instead of build.prop in my directions. That will need replaced in your post as well.

Seems to have done the trick

Added the latest lib wrapper yesterday to FroYo HD v.3.5.1 and changed the ppp DNS to match O2 UK's and touching wood, I have not suffered one issue with PPP dropping the connection or more commonly just freezing with the [H] shown with an up arrow - that was my bug bear that needed to turn on and off the radio or air plane mode for a while to get it to reset.

23hrs later and various G, 3G and H tests shows it seems to be working fine. The DNS change just sped up some web access that's all. The wrapper cured the PPP issues.:)

Can we get the same improvement by just setting up a new APN with internet2.voicestream.com and the recommended proxies and not editing the build.prop file?

One other question, I did look at build.prop in an editor, but the net.ppp* settings that are recommended aren't in there by default. Are these supposed to already be there and be edited or are we supposed to add them to build.prop?

Thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sorin129:
well if for 10 people makes it better and one worse were do you think is the problem? with the fix or with you?

You know just because did not work for you it does not mean that it does not work for others. I could be your build, your radio, your rom, kernel or who knows why it did not work for you but it worked for me and a lot of other people

well i tried first to just set up a new APN with interntet2.voicestream.com settings but it did not stop the data drops and frezees. I think editing that build.prop does something to stop the drops.

Does anyone know what the DNS for 3 Hong Kong are?

I've looked everywhere, and even called the customer service... still couldn't figure out what the fxxk they are.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] OCedHrt:
Some DNS servers may not be mobile friendly in the sense that they don't like having too many connections too frequently. I think this is responsible for the people suffering from frequent data drops, especially in poor reception areas. I also get frequent data drop where the phone drops between 3G, EDGE, and not connection at all. However at home where I have full bar 3G, I only get the occasional overnight data drop. This leads me to conclude that there are 2 problems. First, the DNS issue which is remedied with having the correct DNS that your provider uses (or the level 3 one if they are tolerant enough). This DNS may be local to you (for example, rmnet T-Mobile US users are reporting a different DNS from that provided in the first post). Second, the occasional overnight data drop may be kernel/driver related.

I do want to mention that my phone never gets stuck with an up arrow, but instead gets stuck with a down arrow.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] BurnQuiST:
There is something i've noticed.here where I live my data connection normally switches very often between hsdpa "H" and 3g.but now it's always "H".maybe the connection breaks down if the data connection type trys to change been H, 3G and G ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] agentaaron:
Same here...it worked great for the first day, even in areas where I was losing service altogether...it would come back with no problems. But alas...when I woke up yesterday morning, my phone was stuck on the up arrow. I have now reverted back to rmnet for the time being.

One other thing I noticed was that while I was using the "fix" I was having funny email problems. My boss said she sent me two emails which I never recieved at all, I was only getting maybe 1 out of 3 facebook notifications via email, and I had another email that was stuck (my gmail inbox said I had a new message, but my phone wouldnt pull it...I had to log in on my laptop to get the email). My email preferences are set to deliver as they arrive 24 hours per day and I am not sure if it was due to the changes to the build.prop, the ROM, or just Gmail themselves...but I can say that using Shubcraft now, I am not having any email delivery issues. (between work and personal, its usually about 80-100 per day)

I use it in Sergio´s CoreDroid Rom, because i´m getting sick of all these f...g Data drop´s. But the R11 RMNET Kernel from Michyprima has some other Problems: First of all is the lower Volume,then he is much more slower then the newest PPP Kernel. The PPP Kernel is dimming the backround light automatic and so on and on.

But if there will be a new RMNET Kernel with all these feautures in, i give it a try.

By the way, i don´t think, that the DNS in the build.prop got something to do with the Data drop´s. As i sayed, i used an RMNET Kernel and checking my build.prop will show me the same DNS1 and DNS2 etc, as in an PPP build. its the 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fordfanboi:
Ok - new troubleshooting info.

Had the typical Up arrow hang issue on the new FroyoStone so I started playing with the APN and build.prop DNS settings. I remarked out the net.ppp0.dns1 and net.ppp0.dns2 entries in hopes that it would act like DHCP and pull it automatically.

To my surprise, it actually looks up names of the new sites I surf to ( I haven't visited those sites before ) which means it automatically pulled DNS from somewhere.

Now... it surfs just fine, but as soon as I hit the market or pandora or tell it to sync all, it drops the connection. Could have something to do with secure sites. Will keep experimenting.
