Hi all, I have WM6 almost for week now and first I was very pleased by it as the SD card issue seems to be fixed, but I started noticing a weird phone behavior. For example, Sometimes I'm not able to turn off the flight mode, sometimes my phone stops showing signal and I have to soft-reset but the most annoying thing is, that the signal reception seems really weak. I'm not able to make a call from many places where I could before. Just entering a building makes the indicator to drop half down. Does anybody have the same experience?
For me, the signal recepetion is the same than Windows Mobile 5.
No changing

Hey ppl, had my HD for about 2 weeks now and im loving it, soo much better than my N95 8gb, however I do miss the camera..! Anyway back to subject, today i went down my garage to work on my car (dont worry the phone was put well away from where i was working, have got it in the silicone case and its been very well looked after!!!), the battery was on 1/3 and in the space of 2 hours the phone was dead (not sure when in those 2 hours it died!) so plugged it in, let it charge a little then turned it on, now im having massive problems with the phone not connecting to the network???
I live in a city and as such never ever have problems with coverage, its always at max, however the phone will connect to the network with full signal strength, then within 5-10 seconds the signal strength goes down and down, then i lose connection all together for a few mins then it will reconnect at full strength again????
I've not really installed any apps recently, the only thing i've installed which i can think may have contributed toward something was HDtweak but it was all working fine yesterday...
Reallllly confused and frustrated, hoping its not a hardware issue already

right ive gone through all the settings, even hard reset the phone, still doing the same so it's got to be the phone itself... whoopdedoo
Did you ever sort this out? it seems I have the same issue, when the phone goes to 'sleep' it disconnects itself from the network, I wake it up and within a minute or two it reconnects back at full strength....meanwhile im missing calls....
Hello guys,
I just got my X1 (Generic_UK) few days ago, and i was shocked by the poor reception or i might say the dropped calls by the phone.
In fact each conversation the phone was managed to dropp the call by itself after 2 -3 minutes maximum, so i had to call the other party all over again.
I updated the firmware to R2AA010 yesterday and switch the network to GSM only, and that didn't fix this problem, and i also used my friend's card (different carrier and end up with same result)
Any one can help me with this issue ? if I'd never fix this problem , I'd definetly sell it out.
Thanks.
probably won't help, but my phone shows exactly the same behaviour.
i am on a 1800 GSM network.
an update of the radio rom to the newest version that is available here on the forum did not help.
TBH this sounds like a phone fault... mine works flawlessly and now that I have 010 ROM its even better... are you in a very remote area? if not perhaps its a fault and you might need to take it back?
The HTC Touch HD seems to be affected by exactly the same problem. (link)
Strange
Well, I'm running the Voda X1i but flashed to Generic UK R2A_10. I have had nothing but perfect calls, only 1 call dropped but I don't think it was my fault because my signal was max.
It's true the signal is often low, I keep it next to my iPhone which is also on voda and comparatively the iPhone has better signal, but the sound quality in my iphone is appauling and in comparison, when I make a call on my Xperia it's like the person is standing next to me.
I have put up with the BS from my iPhone for too long, as well as the horrendous echo that anyone that calls me suffers from and invariably complains about and refuses to call me.
If you're in a good signal area and you're still getting problems on R2A_10 i'd recommend returning it for a replacement.
X1 definitely has serious reception problem.
I am not taking about the number of bars but off and on signal are comepltely gone and it will start searching for a network.
I have tested this by putting the phone on the table and by observing the signals bars over a long period of time. Often I have noticed full signal bars and many time there are not signals at all.
Service is weak in my area but none of my pervious mobiles have shown such a poor reception.

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
I have been running android on my hd2 for a while now and i love it. I wish the screen was more sensitive and the calls were louder. dsp manager never works for me. but more importantly i noticed a huge problem.
Randomly when i hold the phone on power it on from sleep mode. my reception goes to X with no bars at all. Then a few seconds later full service. This is it my normal spots i use my phone while my vibrant shows full service. Is this a known issue or is there something i should be doing.
same problem here.. and i have 3g signal only few times, in area with good signal.. do you have any workaround for that? is that because of ppp? i didn`t have this kind of problem before, now on every build..
Hi All,
Recently got myself an X5 (former win mobile user) loving it so far
My question is, data/3g connection seems to drop out randomly, the only way to restore it is by re-selecting it within mobile network settings any ideas?
As for the phone, it's great, especially for the cost of them. I have been using it for around two weeks now and no major issue as yet. Only annoyance is touch sensitive button can be easily pressed when in landscape mode.
I've also noticed this but just lock the screen for a few seconds then unlock because I have it set to disconnect data when screen is off.

Same problem here, I've changed already some Roms, but the problem persists. It happens pretty often that the signal is at minimum and a couple of times also showed "Emergency calls only". I also noticed that the signal level seems to be more affected while connecting through wi-fi. I guess smth. is wrong.
And I use only GSM not 3G.
