Ok, i already has a post somewhat similar and i did get some help, but this problem is beyond me. so my phone gets no service anymore. all connections are fine, i opened it up and there seemed to be no connectivity issue. my sim manager no longer works and when in comm manager the phone will not let me "turn on cellular radio" why would it not let me turn on my radio, any ideas? i changed roms twice, i am scared to change radio's, but let me know if a radio change is my only option left because i fell thats all i have left. thanks.
any ideas? my sim card works in other phones

Guys here is my situation. I have a Cingular 8525 for some time now I noticed that it was dropping signal and then recovering it I thought it was a radio problem but I changed numerous radios and it didn't fix the issue. Last night I noticed that it wasn't picking up any signal, on turning it on I noticed that I had No GSM I tried the way in the Wiki but I am unable to flash using the radio 1.16 to it I unchecked Allow USB connections but for some reason I cannot flash the radio. I started the phone attempted to flash the phone with several other radios and it just hangs. On rebooting I see NO GSM but when my phone starts up I see it reads the network but I cannot do anything else no calls nothing. Is there another way to flash the radio to my device or is the radio just dead? If so I have another 8525 thats not working can the radio part of it be changed?
Regards
It seems your phone is toggling between 3G and the older GPRS. By default, the 8525 automatically selects 3G if it is available. If you move out of 3G range (considering 3G support nationwide isn't great yet), which will happen often, you will lose signal temporarily and either switch to GPRS or regain a 3G signal. Currently I default my phone to use GPRS just because i can't be bothered with having to deal with dropping signal/calls as often as i used to with the automatic setting. There is a free tool called BandSwitch which can accomplish this for you. The newer version (2.1) is not free but if you can get your hand on the older version which is, it'll work satisfactorily well. I hope this solves your problem.
I had the same problem and nothing worked for me.
Try different solutions posted my various users and see if anytihng works for you.
I think it is a hardware radio problem and probably the only solution is to change the motherboard.
If it is still under warranty - get it done. If not, you are out of luck.
A friend of mine just gave me his old HTC WizA200. When I got it, the battery was dead (found that out after I tore the back off it and managed to get my still camera's battery to power it, although that made it very difficult to do anything on it with), so now that I got a new battery off eBay, it powers on.
Now, the problem(s) is/are this/these:
1) Wifi works fine, can't tell for sure is Bluetooth works 'cause I don't have anything Bluetooth, so I can't test that, ActiveSync works, can't determine if IR/Beam works (nothing to test it with). The phone icon in connection manager seems to turn the phone radio system on, but it just searches endlessly for a network although there are numerous networks around the area (there's a tower behind Sam's Club about 7 blocks away). I know for a fact that T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint, and TracFone have good strong signals right here in my apartment, so I can't seem to figure this problem out. Any help would be appreciated and if I can figure out how, I'll try my best to give you any more information that might help straighten this out.
2) I'm not sure if this is standard behavior or what, but it can be annoying sometimes. When I do a full power off or a soft or hard reset, when the phone comes back on, it will always shut Wifi off and turn Phone on in connection manager regardless of what was turned on and off when I reset it or power it off. Is there a way to make it remember what was turned on and off? And, what does the Wifi operate in by default... 802.11b or g and how would I change it to the faster of the two (802.11G)?

My wife's Elf keeps losing the phone network connection, each time she was in an area without reception, like elevators etc. and than refuses to register back to the network. Only way to get it to register again is to do a soft reset. (turning off and on the phone radio sometimes works, automatic and manual network selection don't). Tried another SIM card, same thing happened. The problem developed when she started to use GPRS/EDGE (previosly used her phone for calls and SMS).
Any ideas?
Have you tried flashing to a new radio in the elf upgrading forums?
Cheers
Changed radio still no go. Interesting enough it works when she doesn't use GPRS. I changed the RIL registry settings, and will be testing it next few days.
Oh, check it out and see how it goes.
Radio is usually affecting the issue.
You can hard reset, if it doesnt work!
Do backup!!
Seems like I tried everything possible and still nothing, it is probably hardware failure. My wife is going nokia after this, she said no more winmo.
Hi everyone, my HD2 just stopped working with no signal at all.and shows a exclamation all the time, sim cards are no problem. i've updated the phone with official sw, still have this problem at the beginning.
has the phone been blacklisted?
is the phone turned on in wireless mode in settings? ( ya never no)
is it still under warranty?
My HD2 has done the exact same thing, just shows an !
it doesnt even try to find a signal.
phone was a tmobile UK version, which was unlocked to use any network.
the problem has literly just happened today.
have tried different offical roms, and different sim cards.

Just phoned my provider in regards to my phone, quoted the emei and have been told the phone is blacklisted.
they are sending a request to have it unbarred. will post the outcome.
I have had this happen alot with Vodaphone UK. This is a brand new number so doubt it has been black listed.
I can get this working my turning the phone to airplane mode then back to phone mode, this most of the time makes the phone look for a signal.
Usually happens to me when there is no signal like in a tunnel, the phone does not seem to try looking for the network until you force it to.
This is possibly a fault with the timeout of the HTC HD2. Could be once it tries to connect when out of signal the device gives up after a number of attemtps.
Does anyone know?t

I was searching before posting for just this problem.
It is really irritating me. The phone can jump from deciding there is no signal to sometimes even going to full-bar "H"!
I hav currently resorted to turning off 3G as at least that way I am eliminating the idiocy of it prefering 0/1 bar of "H" vs near full non-3G reception for calls.
Even so at times it will just sit there for ages having dropped a signal with the exclamation showing and then jump back to life [in the same place] with good reception.
I am also on Voda UK
Mine has done that twice, in 4 months. 1 time phone was turned off inside connections, no idea how? 2nd time I just shut off, & back on, signal was back, hasn't happened in months now?
so does anyone have a solution to this problem?
I've checked with my service provider and my phone is not blacklisted...
My SIM card seems fine and everything else seems fine, except it keeps giving me the exclamation mark.. most of the time i notice it's when i get out of the lift (but that could be because that's when i usually check my phone before I put it on my desk).
There are many occasions (probably 5+ times/day) where I turn my phone on (ie, off standby) after it's been sitting on my desk for an hour or so to check calls, etc and there is that dreaded exclamation mark.
I know the area around my desk does have a signal because the guy next to me on the same network has a strong 3G and 2G signal.
Sometimes going to Comms to turn airplane mode on and off to force it to look for a signal works, but sometimes it doesnt.
I've tried soft-resetting, hard-resetting, using different radios, different ROMs, etc and still no good.
Funny thing is, it's only been happening over the past 2-3 weeks.. and I'm not sure what triggered it.
It's really starting to frustrate the crap outta me and friends have been asking why they can't get through...
Any help would be appreciated.. . I'm trying to avoid sending it to the HTC service centre if I can because they're slooooow and the stories I've read about my local centre are pretty bad (when I had my HTC diamond).
Solved:upgrade your rom everything gonna b in place
Upgrade to what?
I am having the same problem, for a hile now. Been fiddling with phone settings parameters, trying to see the effect. One particular combination so far seems to work. Try this: Comm manager --> Phone --> Tap Change Phone settings --> Menu --> Advanced network --> GPRS --> select CHAP authentication --> then CSD Line Type --> select Data rate 9600(v.110). Then OK, Back, and Done with the Comm manager. Observe if the network pickup performance (switching from non-existent H or 3G to E or G) works better for you after that. It does better for me, so far.
I'm having the same problem - NO SIGNAL
Any solution?
i recently discovered that for my problem, it was to do with the earphones. Not sure why, but it only seems to happen to me not long after i plug or unplug the earphones.
I usually have my HD2 on my desk with the music going while I work, but every hour or so, I unplug the earphones and take my phone by itself out with me for a cigarette.. then I come back and plug the earphones back in.
Often when I'm about to head downstairs, I turn on the screen while the music is still going and i see the "!"... as soon as I unplug the earphones, the bars indicating reception comes back straightaway!
Not sure if it's a coincidence or whether it really does have something to do with the earphone/earphone jack.

I have just bitten the bullet and accepted the phone is crap at swithing between 2G and 3G signal so turn off 3G in a couple of locations when I know I get this problem [home - I can use WIFI] and my office.
HTC would not be drawn at all on un updated Radio and this problem being "fixed" in USA ROMs
Fixed
the very easy fix is to do this :
settings _ personal _ phone _ network then make network selection to manual ,, then choose ur provider,,, then u will have signal,, after that u can turn it back to automatic
100% working
Thanks a "fix" not a solution.
Rather silly to have to jump through hoops to make a mobile phone recognise available reception
Have the same problem
I have the same problem now, any solution for that?
Oh Noez!
So, everything has been fine. I have been playing w/ ROMS, every time I install one, I then hard reset, boot, and move on... All has been well, until today...
I had Kumar_s_TMOUS_Classic_V2.4.1_S23569_B2.14 installed all weekend, NO issues AT ALL! Yesterday, I got the bug and flashed Energy.Leo.23569.Sense2.5.MaxSense.Jul.10. All was well with that too, but I wasn't feeling it, so I went back to the same Kumar ROM I listed above. Data Problem!
I found that Data (which has showed "H" for HSPA since I HSPL'ed) was fine. I got back to work from lunch, enabled WiFi (but DIDN'T connect to a network), but then HSPA would not pull data. I went to the connections screen, WiFi was then grayed out, and Data Connection could be on or off, and #g on or off, same result no matter what...
I hard reset, same issue. I reflashed the ROM, same issue.
Now, I have flashed Kumar's TMOUS Premium V2.4 RC S23569 B2.13... Data doesn't work out of the box, even though it says it's there...
Any ideas? Please help lol
sounds more like a network issue. None of those roms should have a problem setting up network settings. (I assume you have been to settings menu all settings connections and tried running connection setup?)
Arent tmo upgrading all their high speed network all over the place at the moment? could be that, ,

I didn't know they were doing that. However, when I go back into connection manager, WiFi is grayed out after this issue. I'm not really blaming the ROM's since I have tried multiple, I'm just not sure what's up. I'm DL'ing a CleanEX ROM to try now...
Anyone else have thoughts?
And thanks Sam, much appreciated...
Now, under any ROM I load, the WiFi option in Connection Manager is grayed out...
do you have it connected to usb? that greys out wifi

I don't think I did, but I could be wrong. Probably a good call! Thanks...
Incidentally, it all works now. I flashed a CleanEX ROM as I left work, hard reset, and got intermittent data on the road. Then flash a Kumar ROM in the car, hard reset, and everything is back to normal. Odd. lol
One thing that was weird; as I was leaving work I tried to call 611 to test, and I got a msg that my phone isn't authorized on the network. That was AFTER running the connection wizard for TMo... lol
All good now, so whatever... lol
Thanks for the help guys!
