I have been having an issue with WiFi where it won't disconnect when leaving a hotspot. The device shows that it is still connected even though I'm miles from the router and won't pick up 3G. I performed a hard reset and on a fresh load everything appeared to be fine. When I walked out of WiFi range 3G picked up immediately. This morning, the issue is back.
Based upon doing a factory reset and it working, I believe it must be an app issue. Does anyone know of any apps that would cause a wifi lock or otherwise prevent the hand-off? I have over 150 apps installed and would prefer not to go one by one if someone can point me to any known issues.

have you installed the OTA update? (assuming you're still stock) it fixed this issue for most

how did you get to that point? did you install the pre-rooted updated ROM? if so did you also apply the radio update? (i really don't know if it needed done separately from the ROM, but i know there was a radio update included with the OTA)

I followed the guide at the following link and it worked perfectly for me. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1770501
Thinking through this further I did restore the wifi ssids from a titanium backup. TB restores data only - could there be an issue with that? I'm just really puzzled here.
I just did more testing. If I turn "Best Wi-Fi Performance" off I can get the device to switch to 3g when I'm out of range. I'd like to retain this setting but it obviously doesn't handoff correctly. Is there a timeout setting somewhere?

My eris no longer recieves SMS messages (sending works) and no longer works for GPS. I toggle GPS on and off and on however maps or navigation or any other app dont connect to it. I have flashed multiple roms to try to solve this and its the same problem with each rom (is something wrong with the hardware). Ive tried KaosFroyo v39, 38, 35, 32 and KaosGingerbread v6. Same problems with all.
Any ideas? Thanks for help.

Two things to try:
First, download and install off the market two apps: "APN OnOff" (exactly like that) and "GPS Status".
Run APN OnOff, choose "Show APN list", press Menu and choose "Reset to default". If this doesn't help, let me know and I'll offer another suggestion.
For GPS Status, press Menu and choose Tools and then "Manage A-GPS state". Then press Reset and then Download.
Note that from Menu you can choose Settings then "GPS & Sensors" and from there you can "Auto-download APGS data", and select how often it will automatically download fresh data. Ever since I used this, I have a lot less trouble with the GPS under any ROM with working GPS.
Thanks for the suggestions, I appreciate the help. APN OnOff did not seem to do anything, nothing is fixed after trying that. GPS status force closes everytime i try to open it so i cant do anything with that.
Any other suggestions?

Try something besides Kaos just to rule out something in KF (I wouldn't base anything on whether things work in KG yet - it's way too early.)
In fact, try xtrSENSE - something close to stock. If that works, it's obviously not the hardware; if you still want to try Froyo, try another Froyo build to see if one of them works better. If it doesn't, you may want to unroot with Flashback21 and bring it to Verizon, to see if they can fix it or will replace the phone.
Are you doing a full data wipe and testing on a clean ROM install when you do all of these installs? Sorry to ask an obvious question, but you didn't mention it.
Yes I am doing a clean wipe before i flash each rom. I didnt just switch to kaosfroyo ive been using it for many months and all of a sudden it stopped working. I will try xtrasense to see if that fixes anything. Unrooting and taking to verizon is my backup choice. Is there a link to a thread on how to unroot and return to stock?
Thanks for the help
To return back to stock, I'd use the ROM Flashback21, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792026
You should be able to just flash it and it will remove Amon's Recovery and install stock Eris 2.1.

So far as I can remember, the GPS Status app has worked correctly on every "stable" ROM that I have used (but it has been a while since I had a KF ROM on my phone).
If it doesn't work on a near-stock ROM, that might suggest that you have a hardware problem. I don't know why SMS/1x would be at all related to the GPS issue, though.
I would take doogald's advice - unroot the phone, perform a factory reset (so the phone gets deactivated), and then re-activate it and see if the problems persist. If they do, then your phone is already set up for a return.
I have been running CELBFroyo 4 since it came out. I also had the same thing happen with messaging. I restored to an earlier nand, still nothing. I have tried tazz and kaos today. I will look for the apn on off. Thanks!

That is an interesting observation. Is this the sequence you used:
- Flashback21
- Factory Reset (to deactivate)
- Activate
- ( manual PRL update w/ *228 ?)
- Verify SMS working using Factory ROM
- Flash custom ROM & verify SMS working there also
I'm wondering (out loud) if what you were experiencing was a problem with an outdated PRL.
What about GPS? Did it start working again as well? I suppose that could also be a PRL issue - for instance if an outdated PRL was preventing aGPS initialization from the carrier.
If you have Nandroid backups of the KF ROMs you were having trouble with, you would be doing the Eris community a service by restoring one of those ROMs and then reporting whether your SMS/GPS service was fixed. (Obviously, you would want to make a Nandroid backup of whatever you have on the phone now, so you could reload it if you want.)

Just out of curiosity, in case you check back on this thread, did you install the Flashback ROM with or without the radio? If so, I wonder if updating the radio was part of the fix.
I will nandrestore to Kaos and let you know what it does.
I used flashback without radio, then went through the setup process. Didn't deactivate, just did it like any other flash.
I did not check gps before.
Did not use 778.
Will nand now.

Hmmm, strange. I don't know why that (the procedure you used) would cause a behavior change - unless you were overflashing KF ROMs one over the next (no wipes), and something got messed up along the way.
If that is the case, reloading a (corrupted) KF ROM from a nandroid backup won't prove much - unless you do that and also a fresh (wipe + new install) of the same KF ROM you last used, to prove that the problem had little to do with the ROM itself.
cheers,

Ok naned back to a celb4.0 not kf, sorry everything still works.
I had been on celb4.0 for a wile(the day conap released) and haven't changed anything when sms quit. Heard it could be apn and going to stock may fix it.
Let me know if I can get you any other info.

GPS does not work on my phone w/ KGB v8; I suspect it doesn't work on anybody else's Eris either.
KGB @ V8 is still a development ROM - it shows tremendous promise, but I doubt that many folks are using it as their daily ROM.
several of the kf roms have had gps issues fixed by later updates. did the browser fc when you tried to open it? try something like froyoshedyo and see what happens, but nandroid your current setup first. not sure about the sms. the gps fix for kf39 is posted in the kf thread

stock. only thing I did after the update was hold down the power button and did a forced restart.
Yeah, I'm also using the latest update, and I haven't had any problems. I'm using the connection to write this post now.
I'd try uninstalling and reinstalling the app, rebooting the phone in between. That's really all I can think of, assuming it was working before.
You can probably find the older version of the app somewhere - if you're still having problems, you could try that as a fallback.

My phone doesn't cannot to data anymore.
I have been flashing different roms pretty frequently, and I am currently on SpeedRom 7.8
For the past month, data hasn't been working on the different roms I have been using. I don't know what is the cause for this issue.
This issue started when i installed SpeedRom 7.5. From there i jumped from one rom to the next, with data not working.
Can you of guys help me with my predicament?

So I know there are a million threads on this, but I'm wondering if anyone has come up with a definitive fix for my scenario. I have tried so many things and my GPS hasn't worked for months.
Problem:
- GPS in view but not in use. EVERY ONCE in a while, GPS will work. But that's like almost never.
Setup:
- Latest Rootbox
Fixes attempted:
- nygfan760's EFS partition fix
- flashing JB modem
- upgrading to latest ROMs
- creating backup of Rootbox, flashing Snow's ROM, flashing Rootbox backup, and flashing JB radio
I just can't seem to get this thing to work. I'm seriously at the point of selling the phone, bc I really need GPS. Any knowlegable and clear help is appreciated.
Thanks
I actually couldn't fix GPS on my first LGOG so that was a bummer. After I bricked it and got my warranty replacement, I immediately backed up my EFS partitions after rooting / unlocking. Now all I have to do is flash the backup after a ROM and all is well. You might be sol. ;[

Not really sure about this as I really don't know how EFS partitions work, but are EFS partitions specific to each phone? I've tried every suggested method to get a GPS lock, not a location based off of WiFi and mobile networks, but no luck.
Every time my GPS fails with Google Maps, I download the Mapquest app and my GPS works flawlessly. I'm not sure why but it's a decent fix if you're in a hurry.
So now after updating to the latest Root box I can get GPS 'in use' in the GPS Test app (before it just showed in view but never in use), but the text in the drag down status bar still shows 'searching for GPS.' does this mean it's working now?

The stock lollipop Rom has an issue with syncing hangouts and gmail. In order to force sync,IPv6 is manually disabled every 1 minute. When that happens, your data connection resets, and you see your phone go up through the speed technologies.

This is probably what you seek, but a word of warning; I haven't tried any of this myself. I don't know whether this will work or break your phone.

Theoretically you won't still have this problem if you go back to KK. I haven't gone back to KK since I took the plunge into LP, so don't quote me on that. In fact, if you just install the stock LP ROM, you won't have this problem any more as well.
OR, you could install Jasmine 5.0, and then upgrade it to something like 5.0.7 or 5.0.8, which ever one was before the IPv6 fix started getting baked into the Rom. That's probably what I would do, but I haven't tried SkyDragon yet, so I don't know what I'm missing.
