HTC ERIS randomly Drops data connectivity after 2.1 OTA

I am about to receive my 3rd HTC Eris under warrany that I am told will help my problem, before the 2.1 upgrade I no problems with data connectivity dropping. My 1st phone randomly displayed message saying "The MObile network setting needs to be turned on. The 2nd replacement phone does the same thing at random all over Phoenix.
Verizon said they have never heard of this problem and there have been no issues with the 2.1 upgrade..so far that is the story from 2 reps. My 3rd replacement phone is on its way...will it fix my problem?? Tried to get them to replace the phone with a nother model but they would only do it at full retail price....wow I use this for business and it is costing me money......If this doesn't fix it I guess I'll keep asking for replacement phones till it finally works properly again......
A very unhappy HTC Eris user...

Hi. I am sorry you are having issues with your HTC Eris and I will be happy to look into this for you. When did you get the 2.1 update? Try to dial *228 option 2 to update your roaming to see if that helps. If it does not, we may need to reset your entire device to see if that works.
Waiting on your reply
Thanks!

My i Phone drops WiFi connection after just a few minutes and wont reconnect unless I reset the network settings and reboot the phone?

My i Phone 4s has suddenly started to drop wifi connection after nealy months of near perfect connections?
To restore a wifi connection I have to reset the network settings and restart the phone, this only fixes the issues for around 2-3 mins?
Other quick fixes like switching wifi on and off/ switching to airoplane mode for a few secconds have no impact.
This is really annoying as I am using my data allowence very quickly, and as the phone is continually searching for a wifi connection the battery time has reduced dramatically.
I just wondered if any one else has the same issue, and any suggestions as to how I can fix this.
Thanks in Advance

Reboot.
Restore (from backup)
Restore (as new)
Test after each step. If one of them doesn't fix the problem, make an appointment at the genius bar.

URGENT HELP NEEDED!!! No data connectivity after a while, weird errors

I am using T-Mobile's regular prepaid web plan and Wi-Fi just fine, no need for BIS, Rich Email, or BBM (SMS and MMS is just fine). All I ever use are apps that SPECIFICALLY state that they work over standard TCP/IP and Wi-Fi. The problem is, after some time, the apps that one worked over regular data connections and MMS don't connect anymore. Even though the apps said that no BIS is needed, they can't access data. Even RIM's own Facebook app, which claims to work over Wi-Fi (and does) loses data connectivity after a day or so without a full reboot. The only thing that works is the BlackBerry Browser, which still connects to the internet. Along with the apps failing to work, MMS messages also can't be sent.
Rebooting the phone by a battery pull or alt-shift-delete allows the apps and MMS to work, which after a day (sometimes even shorter) stops working again.
Here's what I've done so far:
- Checked and made sure that all permissions for data access
- Checked that my APN settings are correct: epc.tmobile.com
- Checked my Wi-Fi router for connectivity
- Called T-Mobile tech support for help, wiped my phone upon their instruction
- Reinstalled my apps and contacts, T-Mobile sent me new service books
Still the SAME THING with apps and MMS not working after a while. I've narrowed it down to entries in the event log that show up as this, which shows up seconds before my apps and MMS stop working:
a net.rim.hrtRT - PUpI - 9/23 17:06:58
a net.rim.hrtRT - EPdp 0x3 - 9/23 17:06:58
a net.rim.tunnel - Clos-blackberry.net - 9/23 17:06:58

W net.rim.mdp - TDtm - 9/23 17:06:58
i net.rim.mdp - TTex - 9/23 17:06:58
Can any experts or developers tell me what these Warnings and Errors mean? I am pretty sure that whatever "net.rim.mdp" and "net.rim.hrtRT" is doing isn't good.

anyone care to help???
Also, on the 18th I wiped my phone again, and three days later (longest time with no mdp error) the same error occurred in the event log, no internet connectivity afterwards on Wi-Fi or Mobile Network...

Randomly dropping wifi connection

My iMac is randomly dropping wifi connection. I constantly have to turn on/off AirPort to get it to work. Any ideas?

Lost data connectivity after upgrading iPhone 4 to iOS 5. How to fix?

Hello,
I upgraded my 16GB iPhone 4 yesterday from iOS 4.3.5 to iOS 5 and everything went fine after a few failed connections to Apple's servers, however my phone lost the data connectivity completely. Phone and SMS worked fine, I could also connect through wi-fi with no problems, however whenever I tried to use data I got a message that my phone was not signed to an internet service.
I restored my phone from the backup after upgrading. Not successful. I also reset the network configurations. No deal.
My carrier is Vivo (Brazil) and everything worked fine prior to the upgrade (and after the downgrade).
I imagine it can be a problem with APN configuration under iOS 5 and I tried to configure it through a webpage, but I got a message that my phone already had a APN config (profile) and could not install another. Under Settings>General>Network I don't have the "mobile network option" nor the "profile" option.
Any thoughts? So far I haven't contacted other people under my carrier who upgraded to see if they had the same problem.
Thanks for reading,
Samuel

I got a workaround; it's not what I wanted, but it solves the main problem.
I noticed that I only lost data connectivity after restoring from backup after the iOS 5 update. So what I did was to backup my phone, restore again to iOS 5, configure as a new phone and backup again (with nothing in the phone).
Then I launched an iPhone backup utility software, in this case, iBackupBot, which in the trial version is enough for what I wanted. I opened the old backup and exported only the files I wanted (like call history and SMS history), then I imported these files into the new backup and restored from it.
I lost my media files (which I copied before) and some configurations, but the most important itens, like SMS, I managed to export from the old (complete) backup.

MacBook Pro randomly drops Ethernet connection.

I use my new MacBook Pro both connected wirelessly and via Ethernet to my home network. My network is connected to ADSL via a firewall/gateway router. I have a Powerbook G4 and a WinXP machine running on this same network (wirelessly and wired) without any issues.
For some reason my new MacBook Pro, however, will randomly drop off the network and will often require a reboot to reacquire a DHCP address. At first, I noticed this when transferring large amounts of data to the laptop across the network (retiring my XP machine). I thought I may have a bad cable or bad port on my hub so I switched both. After a couple more transfers, however, the problem seems to have returned.
Mid transfer, the MBP will lose connectivity to the DHCP server and assign itself a 169 address. I am unable to reacquire a 192 address from DHCP and have to restart the MBP to get back on the network.
Needless to say, this is very annoying and not at all what I expected with my new MBP.
Any thoughts appreciated as I am at whits end on this one.

I am having a similar issue. I have not yet tested with standard Ethernet, only Wireless using WPA2.
I have 3 Macs (iBook G4, PowerMac G5, and MBP (Core 2 Duo) all connecting a private wireless network consisting of a Airport Extreme and an Airport Express using WDS. All computers and basestations are running the latest versions of their respective software (10.4.8, V5.7, V6.3)
ONLY the MBP has the following problems: dropping the connection, failing to reconnect after sleep, and failing to obtain an IP address via DHCP after connecting.
The signal power reported by both the menu-bar widget and the Internet Connect application varries continually on the MBP, even though it is sitting 2 feet from the Airport Extreme basestation. Sometimes full strength, sometimes only two bars.
I have removed all preferred networks from the Network system preferences and re-added only my network. I have also removed the passwords for the routers from my keychain.
The MBP will often-times simply drop it's connection. When it does that, it will not automatically reconnect to my network. If I put the MBP to sleep it often-times will not reconnect when it awakes either. Sometimes it does, but I cannot decern a pattern. If it does automatically reconnect it will usually not obtain an IP address from the basestation.
Simply toggeling the MBP's Airport off and then on will almost always get it to find my network and automatically connect. Even if it does connect to the network, it doesn't always obtain an IP address via DHCP. Again, if I simply toggel the MBP's Airport off and on then it will usually connect and obtain an real IP address.
All of these things happen within two feet of the basestation, as well as more than 20 feet away. Both other Macs continue working just fine even while the MBP is having problems.
This is not an issue with the basestations or my configuration. It must be a problem with the drivers for the Airport card in the MBP.

IPhone 5 dropping data connection

iPhone 5 bought new on release day. Have been having issues with data not connecting and dropping of LTE. I do have solid LTE coverage here in Detroit, I live north of town. I have 32gig black and my wife has 16gig white and she does not lose data or LTE. This is a reoccurring issue. I have already restored the phone once and it still has same issue. I have read that others have same issue. Do we all have lemons? Is apple aware and will they do anything? Or do I have to get a replacement phone?

Sorry for thinking that whole subject heading on the question would have directed you to my question. Let me be more clear on this.
How can I stop my phone from randomly dropping the data connection to my provider. I have already tried doing a backup and restore. I have gone through the other mentioned steps (disabling the cellular network location service, backup & restore, tried going to airplane mode and disabling). The only thing that has restored data connection is rebooting the phone. At no time does the phone indicate any data connection loose. The "4G" icon is still on the status bar, going from wifi to cellular network does not resolve the issue (the wifi network works, but when disabled, there is no data) The phone does not go to EDGE, or no data connection, it continues to show 4G. Other people with at&t 3 ft from me continue to have service. So far there is no difference in location of the phone, it happens at home, at work, at different friends houses, and sometimes not at all. However each day I am having to reboot my phone, sometimes 4 times a day just to use the data features.

Cellular Data Connection after reboot

I have an Nokia ICON and i've noticed that the phone can take over an hour to login to the cellular data network after a reboot. I can make calls and get texts but I cannot do any data functions for a REALLY long time. I never had this problem when I was on an iPhone on Verizon so I know it's not the carrier (or is it?). Anyone else experiencing really long times to connect to the data network?
-Patrick

I will assume that your iPhone was older than the ICON because I would further assume you updated to an ICON from an iPhone, therefore the iPhone was possibly 3G which is not LTE capable. So it is likely that there are LTE issues in your area. Have you called *611 yet to let the tech representative know of your issue? I know things can be frustrating but it is best not to be quick to assume there is a problem with your phone and say that: "I didn't have a problem with my iPhone". The reason I bring that up is because there are already too many people out there that think their platform is the best and at the first sign of issues of another platform just reinforces why their platform is the best. This may not be how you feel, but it best not to even bring your other phone up, because it just adds to issue that keeps people buying iPhones for untrue reasons. People that do this have what is coined: Cognitive Dissonance Denial. I am not saying Windows phone is the best, I actually like Android's OS, but I like the Windows Phone OS's sleekness. But I do believe people need to be a whole lot less harsh on the Windows platform.

IMac drops Wifi connection after 10.7.4 update

Hello there,
I am experiencing intermittent wifi connection problems after installing the 10.7.4 update on my 2011 iMac 27".
The symption is that the iMac drop its Wifi connection after a period of time and when that happens the iMac cannot detect any wifi networks in my area (disabling & re-enabling Wifi on the iMac doesn't help). I have to resort to restarting the iMac to revive the wifi interface. Note that my other devices (including my iPhone and my MacBook Air) can connect to my Airport Extreme without any problems.
Is there any "quick-fix" solutions out there that can fix this problem? I want to avoid a complete re-install as much as possible.

Possible short term fix:
Same issue. Mid 2011 iMac. Updated to 10.7.4 and wifi dropped. The iMac could see any SSID until it was rebooted. My MacBook Air, iPad and iPhone all fine.
I went to Apple tech support and like others was faced with a slippery resistance to the idea that this was anything to do with 10.7.4.
Eventually it was suggested I reinstalled Mac OS (switch off, switch on with cmd and R keys held down. Then follow the process. I wasn't hopeful but was compliant. Imagine my joy when, on coming back to me my iMac asked if I wanted to update to 10.7.4. Of course not!
So reinstalling Mac OS takes you back to 10.7.3. So far so good. Will keep you posted.
Still hoping fpr a proper fix from Apple but they don't seem to be taking seriously
in contrast just updated Omin Group's Omniplan (BTW this is great software for the Mac, check out their offering if you haven't). The update notes:
"It seems as if our fix to the Task: Schedule Inspector in 2.1.1 actually caused more widespread crashes. We've rewritten this code in a more robust fashion and have not seen this problem reappear"
Owning and fixing the problem - Apple guys please take note!
good luck

Macbook Pro/Airport/Leopard drops Net connection after shutdown or sleep

I see all kinds of postings about problems with Airport and Leopard. I am pretty sure that the connectivity problem in my case stems from Leopard alone. I just bought a new Macbook Pro with Leopard installed. I have been using MacBooks running 10.4.x with Airport Extreme for several years with no problems. I still have no connectivity problems with 10.4, which is being used right now on the same Airport network. But, every time I shut down the Mac Pro or put it to sleep, it drops the connection. Here is a very weird thing: If I use network diagnostics, I can get back online right away after I put in my password (which is never saved). If I go through system preferences, it does not recognize my password at all (which is saved). I get this message: incompatible security. What does that mean?? There is something screwy in the Leopard software regarding security and passwords. Does anyone out there have a clue what is going on? I am not a computer expert and have no idea how to change security settings. I'm not even sure what they are. I do not want to do anything that will screw up the connectivity with the Macbooks running 10.4.11.

I had the same problem on my MacBook Pro for the last month or so after "updating" to 10.4.10. Yesterday I tried Loki's fix but couldn't connect at all after that. So I did an archive/install of 10.4.9 and it works better than ever before. I get full signal and it is a lot snappier and faster. The problem is likely in the 10.4.10 update, hopefully Apple will get that fixed in 10.4.11

E71 hanging Data connection after automatic email ...

Hello all,
My E71 seems to suffer from hanging Data Packet Connection after automatic email retreival.
So I configured my email IMAP4 retreival and set it to automatic retreival every 15 minutes.
Then after a few hours I check my phone and there is a data connection open and active. If I check the connections it is open for a few hours, sucking my battery.
What should I do to make it automatically disconnect after email retreival?
PS: I configured my packet data settings with "Data Packet connection only when needed"
Regards,
Menno

I found the only solution is to set the frequency of update to more than 30 minutes. This really is a problem since the next interval is 2 hours, not 1 hour like in other nokia devices. I don't believe that my nokia N series had this problem, either.
This is a SIGNIFICANT issue that needs to be fixed by nokia considering they want the e71 to be messaging/email device. It is very annoying to have to be prompted to close the data packet connection to do anything; i.e. make calls, use google maps, etc. Checking e-mails only once every 2 hours is obviously not a solution either.
Get on the ball nokia!

Intel iMac keeps randomly dropping Airport connection

My Intel Duo core iMac keeps randomly dropping its Airport connection. It never used to do this until a few months ago. The Airport menu bars randomly show half grey, or all grey, and either I have to turn Airport on/off from the menu to get all the bars back to black, or sometimes they just come back on.
Logically, I guess it can only be three things, a problem in the (a) Intel iMac (eg. airport card), (b) my Airport Express Base station, or (c) my ADSL 2+ NetComm modem router. Now, fortunately I have a first generation white G5 iMac set up side by side to help diagnose the problem. When the Intel iMac airports bars go half grey or all grey, the Airport bars on the white G5 iMac stay black or at worst show one grey bar.
At face value, I guess this points to the Intel iMac itself being the problem? Or could it be that the Airport Express Base station is the problem, and the Intel iMac is more sensitive to the problem than the white G5 iMac? I'm sort of leaning to the Airport Base station as the problem because when the Intel iMac drops out, the white G5 coincidentally drops out albeit by only one grey bar generally.
Its quite annoying because its so unpredictable and intermittent. My Intel iMac has full Applecare, but I would feel stupid to haul it into Apple only for them to say I wasted their time and the problem must be the Airport Base station/modem router.
All comments welcome!

Well, for what its worth, I'll give you the update to my problem. The Apple technician said during all their testing, my Intel iMac never dropped the Airport connection once - and the problem might be some interference between the iMac and the Airport Express unit. That didn't quite make sense because my white G5 iMac seems fine; the occasional variable signal but not a full drop out. Anyway, the technician said he applied a 'few software updates' - although I don't know what these updates were, especially since I always apply Apple public updates as they are released.
Now, when I got my Intel iMac back about a week ago, I am very happy to say the dropout/weak signal problem appears to be no more (touch wood). Thus, I don't know what was done, but it has seemingly fixed things so far.
Would anyone know what updates Apple might have applied - and I assume its something that is not readily available to the public, since I always keep an eye on public software updates.

IPad randomly dropping wifi connection

I have seen quite a few posts regarding iPad dropping wifi connection. I have tried all the usual reboot router, updates, etc but the issue remains.
I need to keep switching wifi off then on again to re connect?
Does anyone have any better ideas than waiting for a bug fix?
Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply.
I have not had this issue outside of my home wifi so I suppose this points to a router issue.
When I read that others have had the same issue I presumed it was a bug.
"Updates" does mean router firmware updates.
I am using WPA2-PSK security but have tried WEP and WPA-PSK setting with the same result.
The router is a Netgear RangeMax model DG834PN
It is in g&b mode( whatever that means)
I appreciate your comments.

Why won't AirTunes stream without randomly dropping the connection?

Here's the network setup I have in place: In our home office, I have 2 iMacs running 10.5.6 connected via ethernet to an Airport Extreme base station. (They are also connected via AirPort, and everything works as expected if the ethernet cables are unplugged.) In my living room, I have an AirPort Express which is used primarily for my XBOX 360. The X360 is plugged into the ethernet port of the Airport Express. There is an audio out cable connected to the AirPort Express that runs to my amplifier. The X360 is connected to my amplifier via its own audio out cable. The AirPort network is configured as a WDS network, and both the Base Station and the Express are on software version 7.4.1
Here's the first mystery: If I stream music from either iMac to the AirPort Express, the audio stream will drop at random intervals, while the music continues to play on the iMac. The stream will eventually restart, but the recovery time varies from seconds to minutes with no discernible pattern. Does anyone know why this happens? During the stream drops I have no problem controlling the iMac via Remote on my iPod Touch, which suggests there's nothing wrong with the overall AirPort network. The physical connection from the Express to the amplifier seems fine, and I've tested the cable with other equipment.
Here's the second mystery: I have Connect360 installed on my iMac, so the XBOX can access my iTunes library. I can stream any of my iTunes playlists through the XBOX without the stream ever dropping out. How does the AirPort Express send a signal without interruption to my amplifier via the XBOX when it can't do the same thing via iTunes/AirTunes?
I don't have any problems with the AirPort network generally, and the Express works beautifully with my XBOX for online gaming, so I am puzzled by the signal dropouts that occur only when I stream music via AirTunes to the Express.
The XBOX interface is crummy for managing music when company is around for dinner since it requires the TV, but the elegance of being able to unobtrusively manage iTunes via AirPort and the iPod Touch is completely undone by background music that cuts in and out. I've been thinking about getting an Apple TV, but since it would be using AirTunes as well, I'm not convinced the situation would be any better.
Is AirTunes dysfunctional, or is there something that I'm doing wrong? I've combed through the Apple discussion forums and it's clear that many, many people are having similar problems with AirTunes, but I haven't yet come across any solutions that decisively fix the issue. We all seem to have had many experiences of thinking we've finally solved the problem, only to find after 15 or 20 minutes of smooth playback the stream has dropped again.
Any help or advice is welcome, there simply has to be an Apple solution of some sort if third party software using the same Apple network equipment can provide an uninterrupted stream from iTunes.

@ Ralph. No. connections are fine. As indicated my iPad works seamlessly. And I've tried two 5's! Both do the same. I HATE not having the capacity to 'Listen Live' to public radio!

E2500 randomly drops internet connection but not the home network.

I have an E2500 with the latest firmware upgrade (1.0.03). My configuration is simple, I have a fixed IP from my ISP with fixed DNS servers. I have one computer connected via cable and one connected via wireless and a laptop that gets connected on occasion wirelessly as well. I also have an android phone that I sometimes have the networking turned on and sometimes not. That doesn't seem to be affecting the router either as I've lost connections under both circumstances. The only thing I have different is I clone the MAC address as the ISP has my IP linked to my old Linksys MAC.
The problem is I randomly lose connection to the internet, the home network is still up it's just the internet goes down. I could be on the computer or not, sometimes while browsing sometimes after I browse for a while sometimes before I get started. Fortunately its not happened during one of my online games but it has happened just after I log off the game. It usually happens a couple of times a day.
My fix has been to simply log into the router via html and on the status screen click the reboot button, then the ok, then the continue (I know it by heart). I wait 30 seconds or so and bingo I have my internet back. It's a pain that I'd like to get fixed.
Any ideas?

There might be some settings required in the router so that it gets the proper solution. If you are facing the concern of getting lag, dropped connections then you can try the following steps:
A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
3] On that same setup page reduce the MTU value to 1400 from Auto
4] Then go to the Wireless tab, keep network mode as mixed,
For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
For Channel Settings of 5 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 40 or 161...
B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the username field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.
