Wow...the 8125 really drives me nuts alot of the time...
I work in a hospital where there are alot of places where you lose signal quickly, which can be expected. However what is not expected is when I come back after being in a no signal area to an area where I would normally have full signal strength...and all I get is that damned antenae symbol with "..." after it like it's searching for a bloody signal.
This just makes me irate as I can stand outside for SEVERAL minutes (often having to restart the phone before it will understand that there's now a signal) before it will just randomly pop up saying that I not have full reception.
I'm using the latest official 2.25 rom and I don't really feel like changing again (this is about the 6th rom in 4 weeks and it has been a problem with EVERY rom I've used). Is there a program out there that will tell my moronic 8125, "Hey there dip$hit! There actualy IS a signal here so look for the damn thing RIGHT NOW!" It would be nice to have a button I could stick on SPB Today Screen and just hit whenever it was "searching" to make it ACTUALLY SEARCH...b/c the signal is there.
Any help here?
I have a T-Mo MDA and the solution I've read here is to change to manual network selection and choose Cingular. That should speed up re-acquiring the signal.
Thanks for the advice...but...ermm...I can't find that setting...
I thought it was in Settings->Phone->Network. But in the official 2.25 rom, all I see there is "Current Network: Cingular" and a "Find Networks" button underneath it that just reconnects to Cingular whenever tapped.
Any direction?
Thanks.

I have the same problem with the length of time it takes to get a sign back. I actually posted a few days ago and have not gotten a response. I will keep an eye on this thread but if you get a PM with a solution or figure something out can you please drop me a line.
Thanks
I really wish someone would figure out a way around cingular blocking us from manually selecting networks!!
This is a problem all over the place!
Has anyone else experienced this. It just started happening this past weekend. Before, the EVDO icon in the top bar would be greyed out (since the ROM update) when the connection was not active. But since last Friday it just stays 'white'. At first I was worried that the connection was stuck on active but there was not noticeable affect on my battery life. I'm not sure if there was a change in the Verizon network that has affected the indicator. I actually, replaced my phone this morning (for another reason), and noticed that the indicator is still 'white'.
there was a program I installed once that caused this probelm, but I cant remember the name of it for the life of me.

The thing is that even with my new phone and the new ROM, the arrows would not grey out. Anyways, doesn't seem to affect the battery life, but it does sometimes disconnect, whereas before, the direct-push would keep the connection open (but 'greyed-out').
The real problem now is that my direct-push no longer works. I've done a copule of hard resets and actually the arrows are now greyed out. But now the EVDO does not stay connected and my exchange e-mail is no longer pushed immediately to my phone. I've called Verizon and they got rid of their wireless data technical support, so now I can't get anyone to help me and all they do is push me to UTStarcom or Audiovox and they're not much help either. Any suggestions or help appreciated?
i had the same problem.. its because of the rom upgrade.. i used the ppckitchen and the arrows never gray out, when i used DCD's kitchen, it always grayed out.. i just believe its the rom itself... some people say its the phone skin but that is not true.. i tested that myself.

My htc touch was working fine had it set up perfect no problems. Then it started losing signal I didnt have a good signal anywhere. Finally took it into the guy at cricket who flashed it. They tell me that it has been exposed to moisture. There is a moister indicator under the back cover. ( A small white patch that turns pink when it gets wet.) Ok fine I am going on a trip soon and need my phone to work so I bought another one. He flashed it it worked great he set it up so it would work on roam everything was fine. Then after coming home I transferred my contacts shut the phone off and left it charging over night. The next day it either is searching for signal or when it finds a signal it is in roam. I have searched the forums reading for the last 3 days and cant really find what I need to do. Also the new phone has os 5.2 1620 my old one had 6.1 I am computer literate but this is all fairly new to me. I actually have more questions after reading than I did before. Can someone help me or point me in the right direction. I have to have the phone working as I am leaving on my trip tomorrow.
I am on Cricket service in Kansas City Mo.
OS 5.2.1620 says windows mobile 6 pro

Hey all,
I got the July 27 leaked Froyo and went ahead and rooted to 2.2.
I have noticed a pretty serious buggy issue regarding the phone not detecting a 3G network so when I'm away from my wireless router, it only shows bars, no 1X or 3G.
I have two options at this point, one of which has done me no good. Perhaps someone can help me.
Option 1: Downgrade back to Android 2.1. (More on this later)
Option 2: Try and find a way to keep this version and get back on 3G.
Lemme explain: I tried placing the PB31IMG.zip on the SD card and going through recovery to return the phone to stock. Each time I attempted this, it told me the version was old and it failed. Is there a workaround on this or do I need to find a different stock ROM?
I used unrEVOked to root the phone and have not been trying to do any frivolous additions or subtractions. I just wanna be back on my 3G. Any and all help would be HIGHLY appreciated.
Thanks!
Did you try *228 and update your PRL?
Yes. It did not help.
Always have 3G coverage where I'm at too. So more than likely phone is issue unless a tower around here is down (which I highly doubt).
Toggle Airplane Mode on, then off.
JC
Sadly, toggling airplane mode has done nothing to help either.
Upgrade to the 8/1 version...see if that helps.
JC
Try shutting the phone off, then powering back on. Or possibly that combined with an airplane mode toggle. Also make sure your mobile network is on in the settings for wireless networks. This problem was common with the first leak. I have not had it happen since switching to the second leak of 2.2.
Considering the missing apps and media in the 8/1 Leak would it be ok to do Sky Raider or should I just try the 8/1 Leak done by aiccucs?

I believe mrozzeh also gave a link to the full version of the 8/1 leak, if you are concerned about missing apps/media...
Doing that update has not helped me.
I guess I'll have to go down to 2.1 again. However, as I said, it won't load the PB31IMG.zip. It says the file is old. Any ideas?
Stupid question....you did upgrade the radio right?
Yes. Radio is the 2.x baseband.
I would be VERY finicky to update that again as I do NOT want to brick my phone.
Ok, it seems I have found a bit of the issue that is causing it. My phone number and IMSI are not detected as my current phone number. Is there a way to program this or is it an issue where I'll have to have it reprogrammed by the local Verizon rep?

try a *228 and option 1 so the phone is reprogrammed. then do a test call to your vm(*86) and make sure it connects, you should not see the 3G symbol, when you end the call, the 3G should be displayed...give it a whirl
This did not work. There has to be a way to program the phone number into the phone. Any ideas?
i've been having this same issue... messing with airplane mode and rebooting a few times got it to fix... *228 and option 2 worked sometimes. just loaded up Adryns new evo hybrid rom, working fine so far (the problem was rare, maybe twice a day tops) and did *228 1, we shall see!
To no avail on these. I think I'm going to have to see a rep tomorrow and see if we can get the phone number (my actual phone number) programmed back into the phone. I think that's a VZW thing as I'm sure they won't run me through the methods to program a phone number.
I hate that I have to go back to Big Red over this, but it is important for me to have this phone up and running. Besides internet, I have NO other form of contact.
3g issue
I had the same problem and so have many others, I flashed Skyraider Rom and problem is gone so we know its not a buggy radio, I don't think there is a fix right now, but I've never seen a Rom so stable as the new Skyraider, so you might wanna think about flashing that Rom.
Coincidence. I've heard the same with my roms, from both ends of the spectrum. Its for sure a buggy radio, and how it interacts with Froyo. Once we get a 100% Froyo ready radio, I doubt we will ever hear about the issue again.
This is the first I've heard of someone not being able to get the 3G connection back at all. Is that what you are describing? I had it not turn on, then come back after a *228/2 or power cycle - but it always came back on. Just curious but are you on an Alltel plan by chance?
Can you make calls Contra? Did you pay your phone bill?? Are you wiping all data before flashing? Try the full second leak that they added to that post. I've been using it and haven't had the 3G drop in two days now. I just took that rom and removed a handful of apps I would never use. It's working quite well.
Lately I have noticed my N1 has been dropping a lot of calls everyday. When this happens, my 3G icon disappears and comes back about 30 seconds later. It's as if it loses connection to the network and comes back.
I can't for the life of me remember if this started happening before I upgraded to 2.3.3 (OTA) or after. I believe it's been going on before that but I can't be sure. I kept blaming my friends that it was their phones dropping calls but after paying closer attention, it appears to be my phone instead.
I am with Rogers, not rooted (stock) running 2.3.3.
Any ideas what might be causing this?
First option would be a factory reset. Then revert to an old build and see if the problem occurs there too. Then upgrade accordingly and see if it's fixed.
Thanks for the reply. Where can I get a 2.2 stock image?
I have tried several ROMs and the same problem occurs too. So I think it's TMobile's network problem.

Just in case, check if your carrier's APN are configured correctly.
Ok so i have done a factory reset late last night. In the next day or two while using my phone, I should probably find out if the reset did the trick.
Just to reiterate, I am with Rogers (in Canada) running 2.3.3. My APN settings are correct as well.
Also, I did already notice something odd. When you go to Mobile Network Settings, and then choose Access Point Names, I see my Rogers APNs (one for the network and one for tethering). I then click on the Rogers network APN where I see all my APN settings. So far so good. Then, I don't touch anything, and the weird part is as soon as I hit the back button taking me back to the APNs screen, my 3G icon disappears for a few seconds, comes back this time white in colour (as well as the signal meter), and a few more seconds later both the 3G icon and singal meter turn green again. Is this normal? Is this perhaps a bug in 2.3.3 that might be contributing to my problem?
I was hoping if anyone out there can test and see if their n1 does the same thing. Thanks.
