Sorry, I know this issue has been mentioned on here in a few different ROM / Phone specific threads. The problem is losing data connectivity randomly (seems sporadic, sometimes I don't notice it happening all day, then today its happened 3 times). I've experienced this on several ROMs (CM4DX, SSX, Liquid Gingerbread that I remember for sure, and I believe a couple others). I can't seem to stay on stock Gingerbread long enough to notice and I've abandoned some ROMs that I really like when I run into this issue, thinking its a ROM problem.

Some reading eludes to the idea that it is Gingerbread problem not a ROM problem.

Do I really need to go all the way back to Froyo to truly avoid this problem?
Any new developments or fixes that I am unaware of?

Thanks for the great site and all the help!

I understand the difference (at a high level) between the full gingerbread, the cm7 based and the Froyo ROMs...

I guess my question is, will I continue to run into the lost data connection issues with any of the CM7 or GB ROMs?

I haven't nailed it down 100%... But I believe its an issue with the phone not automatically reconnecting after losing the data connection. I've noticed that a trip on the elevator at work (which drops my signal to zero) will cause this to happen pretty consistently.

Also it doesn't seem to effect the phone's radio... I can make and receive calls and text messages, but apps that use data fail (i.e. Market, TBH, Liberty Toolbox, etc...)

Airplane mode toggle definitely fixes it for me...

But from what I'm hearing, it doesn't sounds like there's a CM7 or GB ROM out there that is immune to this problem?

The new radio in the .602 update seems to have fixed this issue for me. I'm currently running stock GB .602 rooted and debloated. But have also tried a few other ROMs and I don't seem to have the problem with having to bounce airplane mode to get my data connection back.
