well quite noticeable till now...
The phone coverage becomes poor with the new radio. It was better with the last one that came alongwith...
The speakerphone(loudspeaker) doesn't work quite well. The other party hears noise.
The mic level is quite low. I need to speak while taking the phone close to my mouth.
I am not sure whether the last 2 problems is with the new rom but the phone's reception for sure has worsened... :-(
Hi , there i am facing the same problem too . is there a solution to the problem ?
Mee too any new ROM to solve the mentioned issues
Please, somebody tell me there's hope. 2 really annoying & disappointing things are happening. My bluetooth keeps randomly disconnecting, and to make matters worse the status bar icon still shows it is connected, but it's not. Second, I am dropping calls almost daily, and I'm mostly in places where 2 seconds before the drop I had 4 bars!!! I went to a store today & got a replacement SIM (50.01 vs. 39.01 markings) hoping that might solve it, not happening. And the signal strength almost never shows less than -105 dBm, sometimes -97. I NEVER had a dropped call or any bluetotth issues with either my old trusty G1 or the MT3G I just came from. I'm really trying to love the phone, it has so many positives. But the fact that it's a "phone" and it's basic function is skewered is pissing me off big time. Please, someone tell me I ain't the only one experiencing these issues, and, that either the OTA FroYo or Cyan's first ROM is gonna fix 'em? Better yet, any known fixes now? Are these issues in any way related to the data issues, possibly? When I called Tech Support last night they said to try a hard reset, but I really don't want to do so, unless I can flash one of the stock/de-TW'ed "stock" ROM's written about in the Dev. threads. Anyone have any concrete suggestions or explanations? Thanks...
After upgrading to ROM 3.14.531.1 my wifi connection disconnects frequently.
Anyone have this problem or know of updated wireless drivers?
I am having the exact same problem.
I used to get connection to the router throughout my house and now it is spotty at best with the new update.
I also noticed that my range is cut by 1/4 and signal strength is very sporadic

Someone suggested flashing to the radio that you were using before. Anyone tried that?
I haven't (I have not even installed HPSL), but here is the rub...my phone signal seems better...my connection to the router is worse!
Not sure if that is an equal trade-off or not (also not sure if I am accurate on the phone signal though)...(what's my name again?_)

Or just try a completely different radio all together. Just make sure it's compatible... HSPL3 is easy as hell.
I observed the exact same problem with WIFI and reverted back to 2.13 ROM.... WIFI worked fine since!

I am seriously debating this.
The WIFI is ridiculous now.
The device does seem smoother though and battery life is greatly increased. Where I would usually be around 30% in the day I am at 50%!
Maybe I should just install an earlier radio, but I am nervous about doing that!
Battery life question
Fit those reporting implement in battery life, do you all keep all your radios on (bluetooth, wifi and 3g) all the time? I generally keep bluetooth off because it haas been giving me an additional half day of usage and, staying with this, I am not seeing any improvements in battery life. if anything, my battery life may actually be slightly worse with the new ROM.
I do have direct push email set to deliver instantaneously.
Also, with regards wifi, not seeing a signal issue but wifi drops after some period of inactivity. This was not the case with the previous radio. Like others, I am also very interested to see if anyone has rolled back to the previous radio with favorable results .

HardSPL3 and flashing the radio is so simple. I promise... Don't go back to 2.13, just HSPL and flash a radio. There is a thread in rom development that has all of the TMOUS radios... Just flash the radio back to 2.10.50.26. That's the stock radio from 2.13 Rom. If you want to private message me, I'd be glad to give you the step by step, but I learned what I know from reading threads on this site.

I do think the 2.15 radio is setup to disable your data if you are using wifi, and maybe as you suggested, turn off wifi if it's been idle for a while. Probably a way to save battery life... I had switched to the 2.10.50.26 radio that comes with the 2.13 ROM because the battery life wasn't great with the 2.15 Radio, but then I had also noticed before I flashed back to 2.10 Radio that I was getting full Edge at my buddy's house, where I normally have no signal at all. I decided to switch back to 2.15 radio and test the theory that the battery life gets better as the Rom "settles"... I'm not totally buying it because logically it doesn't make sense to me, but I'll try anything. That's how you learn stuff.
Thanks for the informative post, crisisinthecity! Keep its posted on erhart you find.
I have tried to adjust the power savings in advanced settings hoping that more power would keep the signal from disconnecting and give me better signal strength. Did not seem to have any effect
Hey guys.
I've got exactly same problem with the new ROM here in Holland. I am not T-mobile user.
I've posted my message on forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8709630&posted=1#post8709630[/url] but apparently nobody had similar issue there.
I've also contacted HTC support. Of course they started from giving me instructions how to setup WiFi. Finally after several iterations they realized what problem is about. Just today I had long conversation with them and they said that this issue is happened with only me but "they really want to understand the issue and try to help".
They were suggesting me to install the new ROM again and try to test in on different WiFi network - apparently they reluctant to do it themselves properly. I said I don't wan't do it as I don't wan't to waste my time on that and I want them figure it out themselves iby having more complains about new ROM.
I've bought theory that the issue is in radio and tried to install new ROM on top of old ROM with SSPL_RUU. It worked but even with old radio+new ROM ("only flash Splashe and OS image") WiFi issue was not fixed.
I am not going to do any experiments with my device until I will be sure the issue is completely resolved. Very disappointed indeed. Very happy with old good ROM 1.66.
I was having this problem until a few minutes ago since I flashed the 3.14 rom. When I flashed the ROm from january 25 ... UK ... It's the 1.66 ... the issue with my HD2 stopped ... just finsihing the setup of my phone again ... and the wifi is working perfectly.
I was just about to adopt the first procedures to send my the goddam hd2 to
fix by htc, when i decided to do this test.
man, I can't wait to get rid of this phone

Odd...I have been having the same issue and in contacting T-mo and HTC they both admit that this is a known issue and that they are working on it (no mention of whetehr or not they will release a new ROM to address and I doubt that they will).
yep, been having the same issue with 3.14 ROM, WiFi disconnects frequently.
this is not seen in previous versions of ROM. must be a botched job from HTC on the WiFi drivers.
this problem only happens with certain WiFi Access Points. So not everyone will experience this problem. that's why a lot of people can't relate to what we are experiencing.
Damn HTC.
I'm pretty sure this is not a problem of Radio, but rather the WiFi drivers in the ROM.
Ever since putting EB01/SC2.2 on my phone my girlfriend has noticed my call quality drop dramatically. Is there something I'm missing here? Sometimes when listening to her talk she sounds like she's on auto-tune and the reception gets fuzzy. What's going on? I don't have GPS on and I'm not on the internet.
Call quality sucks on every build, whether it be eclair or froyo. Might be just me, but since installing froyo, I've had better signal strength. Guess it's just a matter of where you live.
You may want to try dialing *228, and choose option 2. Check to see if that helps out your signal woes.
EDIT: Also, try updating to SC 2.4. If both of the above do not work, try reflashing the EB01 modem with odin.
I followed muniz_ri's post yesterday to upgrade my VZW S5 to Android 5.0, and it went perfectly!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...l/how-to-update-to-g900vvru1boa8-5-0-t3020546
I am having ZERO issues, screen rotation is fine. However, the one thing I did notice was the 4G signal bar was very low.
I live within 3 blocks of a VZW tower, and it has the latest AWS (XLTE) upgrade. With 4.4.4, I had FULL signal and was pulling 45-65mb consistently.
Now after the update, my signal bars are in-between 1-3. I've tried several speed tests, and they would max out at 5mb. I've tried switching in-between Global and LTE/CDMA with little to no difference.
Has anyone else seen or has had this issue? Would it be possible to flash back to the older 4.4.4 base band/radio or is not compatible?
Thanks for your help!
I have noticed the same thing. I noticed on my normal commute where I would be in strong to low 4G, It now switches to 3G when in the low spots.. Going to try a clean install again and see what happens.

Thanks.. Im about to do the same myself, but think that I'll wait a few days and see what happens.
same here
I actually went looking through the forums for this problem because after the lollipop update I've noticed a very weak signal. People on the other end of my phone conversations have commented several times in the last couple of days that it sounds like I'm on a bad connection so I'm pretty sure it's not just me. I started with a clean install, so if anyone has any ideas please let me know.
It is also of note that I am NOT having any other major issues. The 5 .0 update is running great. My battery life is not as good as I expected it to be, I don't get through a full day on a charge anymore. I can live with that, but this signal thing is going to kill me. I'll have to roll back to 4 .4.
Has any one found a solution to this problem I've tried to factory reset and re down load each step and I have horrible reception dropped calls like crazy my text messages fail constantly as well as pic messages it's beginning to piss me off lol but also good to know I'm not the only one having problems
