USART NOT receiving nothing

Im using usart2 and i know its sending data but will not receive im using :

rx_data = USART_ReceiveData(USART2);

to save the data then using a

while(rx_data > 0 ) 

{ do stuff}

any suggestions about why its not receiving?

Are you first checking the RXNE flag to see if data is available before trying to read it from the USART?

yes i use

while( USART_GetFlagStatus(USART2, USART_FLAG_RXNE) == SET); // checking flag 
{rx_data = USART_ReceiveData(USART2);
}

then once rx_data >0 it does stuff, but i dont understand why it doesnt react. Im feeding the USART2.TX right into the USART2.RX. Am i doing something wrong?

Evidently, perhaps some more details about how you've initialized things, and how they are connected.

You probably want

while( USART_GetFlagStatus(USART2, USART_FLAG_RXNE) == RESET);

if you want it to spin while NOT asserted

did you set USART mode:

 USART_InitStructure.USART_Mode = USART_Mode_Rx | USART_Mode_Tx;

 and both USART GPIO pins as AF ?

GPIO_InitTypeDef GPIO_InitStructure; // GPIO structure
USART_InitTypeDef USART_InitStructure; // USART Structure
RCC_APB2PeriphClockCmd(RCC_APB2Periph_USART1 | RCC_APB2Periph_GPIOA, ENABLE);
RCC_APB1PeriphClockCmd(RCC_APB1Periph_USART2, ENABLE);
/* Configure USART Tx as alternate function push/pull */
GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Pin = GPIO_Pin_2; //PA9-UART.TX
GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Mode = GPIO_Mode_AF_PP;
GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Speed = GPIO_Speed_50MHz;
GPIO_Init(GPIOA, &GPIO_InitStructure);
/* Configure USART Rx as input floating */
GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Pin = GPIO_Pin_3;
GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Mode = GPIO_Mode_IN_FLOATING;
GPIO_Init(GPIOA, &GPIO_InitStructure);
// USART Configure
USART_InitStructure.USART_BaudRate = 9600;
USART_InitStructure.USART_HardwareFlowControl = USART_HardwareFlowControl_None;
USART_InitStructure.USART_Mode = USART_Mode_Tx | USART_Mode_Rx;
USART_InitStructure.USART_Parity = USART_WordLength_8b;
USART_InitStructure.USART_StopBits = USART_StopBits_1;
USART_InitStructure.USART_WordLength = USART_Parity_No;
USART_Init(USART2, &USART_InitStructure);
USART_ITConfig(USART2, USART_IT_RXNE, ENABLE);
USART_Cmd(USART2, ENABLE);

Here is how i initialized everything. After further testing it works once and stops. while( USART_GetFlagStatus(USART2, USART_FLAG_RXNE) == RESET) { do stuff} Any ideas why it would stop? the do stuff mentioned here works already im just trying to have it work only when USART is receiving data.

Don't enable the RXNE interrupt.

If you're using an interrupt, you a) need to initialize NVIC also, and b) have a service routine to handle it.
