While sitting in my house I have watched my signal strength change from 0 bars to up to 4 bars. this happens without moving or using the phone.
Anyone else ever notice this? I have seen it happen in 2 different places in my house. I have seen it go from 3 or 4 bars down to 1 or 0 and back up again in a matter of minuets. BTW I am on Cingular using Radio ROM 2.19.11

Hey there people.
Hoping I've not missed an existing thread.
I'm having problems with X10 dropping its signal seemingly through its own free will. Had phone since mid april and not had any problems with. But the other week me and the missus noticed occasionally i wasn't receiving texts she had sent me. This happened every now and again for a few days. I then noticed when i picked up phone it'd show signal on 3G as maybe 2 or 3 bars then suddenly drop too nothing, showing the little x indicating no signal. After a few seconds up to a min it'd pick signal back up and work again. I no for a fact its not me been in an area without 3G coverage because it happens at work and until this started happening i got a strong 3G signal there. It doesn't seem too switch too edge either any more. Its set too GSM/WCDMA prefered. I'm on 02.
Anyone else have similar problems or any clues on what the problem it.
Cheers
Everytime I send an sms/mms my phone signal drops completely. Sometimes the messages send, sometimes they don't. I even tested this a couple times sending myself a text....anyone else experiencing this?
And yes I have tried restarting.

I've experienced this too, but only when I already have a pretty low signal. It never happens when I have a good signal (not based on the notification bar, actually reading the dBm).
ive had this issue with every tmobile phone i have ever owned. even my nokia n900 on tmobiles network had this issue.

Whenever I'm in a car or a bus, I tend to lose signal or even the data connection. It shows the bars but no data activity, and or loses the five bars and is empty. Ill go in phone status and check the phone signals are all 0. This just started happening, I'm going to give tmobile a call.

this may sound dumb, but could it be the way you are holding the phone? much like my nexus one, i find that when i hold the phone landscape my right hand willc over up the bottom of the phone where the antenna is and my signal drops. depending on how weak it was to start, sometimes i kill my signal. my G2 isnt as bad as my nexus was but it still happens sometimes ive noticed.

It is not an iPhone!
No but it happens anyway I hold it. Landscape or vertical, it loses signal even when I'm at my desk in class and not moving it will drop signal and then take abour 5-10secs to get the signal again.
And also I realized that when I have 1 bar, it will lose signal and then get 5 bars. I'm thinking it doesn't do good at holding signal and transferring from tower to tower.
Lol. Its not the way I'm holding the phone. I'll have full bars, then soon as I click send, I have none....then it goes from E to H.

Only when roaming or on EDGE
I have only had this happen while roaming or on an Edge network. We are very fortunate in Lubbock to have HSPA and GPRS, only a couple of towers are pushing edge in this area. Usually once I return to a G or H, SMS/MMS goes through with no problems... May have something to do with the Radio Issue, the alleged ota will fix...
I flashed the radio from here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Full_Update_Guide_-_HTC_Hero_(GSM)#Flashing_Radio
It flashed fine, and on my phone it shows 2 bars HSDPA (I was getting 1 bar before)...when it's next to me. If I pick the phone up, after a few seconds it drops to 0 bars
If I put it back down (no further than 30cm from me), it gets 2 bars again!
Anyone else experienced this problem?
Edit: Okay, if I hold my phone with an L shape (left hand, index finger on to top left corner, thumb on the bottom) it has 2 bars, if I then place my hand behind the phone (not touching it) it drops to 0 bars again. Surely this isn't right?
My reception isnt much improved either... but signal at my house is normally zero anyway.
Paramount to that... the phone booted and now says its the 12th November 1980. Any1 else have this problem?
EDIT: im having the same problem as u looie... on the table i get a reception value of "-109" and as soon as i pick it up, it drops to zero!!!
I just tested it as well, and same here. Drops from two bars to zero when holding the hand behind it. Never did test that on another radio though.

Just tried something
While it was next to me, I ran Speedtest, and got 1.5mbps down, 800kbps up
I picked it up, ran Speedtest again... 380kbps down, 180kbps up
Put it back down, ran Speedtest again... 1.4mbps down, 500kbps up
I'm also having the same problem, the signal bars are continuously decreasing and increasing in strength at the slightest movement.
I'm thinking of going to an older radio.
hm...same here...but only with cyanogenmod and -forks. sense roms seem more stable with radio for me. even the switch from 2g to 3g and backwards does not force a signal loose und sense roms...hmmm...
I have this weird issue with my hd2 flashed with a custom NAND android 2.3.3 rom.
When its on my bed or desk or whatever it has full strenght HSDPA signal but as soon as i pick it up it drops to 2 bars and then to 0.
It only does this when i'm holding it in my hand, also when i move it around i can see the signal strength switching from 2 bars to 0 and back again.
At first i tought it was the radio but after trying them all and trying other roms i'm still having the same issue!
Switched to 2G only now and my reception is always perfect at full strenght but now im on EDGE all the time...
Did someone here have the same problem and found a sloution by any chance?
thanks in advance!
My signal can be at 3 bars, then all of a sudden go down to 0 bars, then back up again to 3 bars without moving the phone. I have never experienced this before with any other phone.
My phone has never yet lost signal fully, but it's usually displaying 0 bars. I'm trying to figure out if this is an issue with the hardware of software?
My baseband is .33 and I've tried the .27 baseband and experience the same issue. Device is Nexus 4 running Android 4.2.1. Carrier is Telus.
I've googled and searched but all the similar issues people were having were back in November and December.
Thanks!
same here. on vodafone network. i also get emergency only. sometimes i get full bars and stays only on gprs for hours then....goes back on wcdma by itself.
i think its a radio issue.
