HTC Magic Port Radio Issues (SOLVED)

(solution at the bottom of this post)
Hey, ive searched for a little while now and i havnt found a solution, so if i missed it im sorry just point me in the rigth direction. In the mean time, here is my issue:
Its the same issue with:
4.5
4.9
5.0
(these are the only onces ive used)
all downloaded from:
http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/
now ive wiped before flashing each update, and even wiped after the update, ive even gone back to rc29 and then trying again
when i get the phone to finish booting up, my radio gives me issues, it will show full bars, then none, then full, then none, never showing edge, so i go into wireless settings and realize that every 20 seconds or so, airplain mode is coming on for a half a second then going back off, without me clicking it, but when it does this, it never shows the airplane icon where it does if i click it myself in the top status bar
now if i manage to dial out a call at the right time, it will keep the full bars, and dial out properly, i can have a half hour phone call or longer without a problem, when i hang up, i have full bars AND edge for atleast a hour or so, and then i drop edge all of the suddon and go back into the airplane loop, inwhich a simple phone call (even to voicemail) fixes it temporarily
this issue happens as soon as i reboot the phone as well, as it starts up, it shows no connection, then emergency calls only, then tmobile, and repeats
when under mobile settings when trying to select a network manually if im lucky for it to show tmobile and at&t, 90% of the time it tells me it cant connect to tmobile due to my sim. if i keep clicking it it will say registering to network, but it will stay in the loop with the airplane mode flickering on and off
again, if this is something stupid im missing, or if its been explained elsewhere, my bad just point me in the right direction, but either im not searching for the right thing or ive just completely missed it, either way, someone help me before i have to go back to JF 1.42, im really enjoying this magic port
Ok, so thanks to the suggestion to "update the radio" and Google for pointing me in the right direction. I did as follows, and so far, so good.
Download this file to SD card
http://sapphire-port-dream.googlecode.com/files/Saphire-Radio-Update (rc33).zip
Saphire-Radio-Update (rc33).zip Sapphire Radio 2.22.19.23
Rename it update.zip
Reboot Phone in Recovery
(I wiped, this may not be needed, but I did anyway)
Alt + S to install the update
the phone will ask you to do the home + back to reboot, press it and it will do a few other things, including reboot into a screen with a arror pointing at a microchip, then it will reboot back into recovery
hit the home + back yet again to perform another reboot and it will boot up normally and so far, ive yet to have an issue with my radio after this

wootroot-
THANK GOD I AM NOT ALONE!!!!
This problem has been plaguing me as well with all of these new builds!!!
Ultimately I ended up going back to JF 1.42 MOD because I needed a working phone.
I flashed to 5.0G tonight... and its doing the same thing... radio on then radio off. I tried flashing to the new Sapphire radio... nothing works.
I would love for someone to come up with a working solution.
Thanks!

i feel the same way, i thought it was just me
there has to be something im missing, so many other people use these builds without issues like this, there is no way someone could put up with this issue and use the phone as a daily phone reliably
if you want to have 5.0 (well i flashed H not G but im sure it would work regardless) time a phone call to your voicemail when your radio flashes on and when it vibrates saying the call connected, hangup, and everything will be fine for a few hours
do me a favor though, read over the stuff i just added to my first post, see if your phone is doing anything different than mine, that way when someone who comes in here and is able to help, they know exactly what our phones are doing, and hopefully its not just us with this issue and it will get others in the trend of explaining in detail what is wrong with theres, maybe this will help speed up getting a solution lol (wishful thinking?)

I am redoing things once again.... reflash, etc.
Keeping my fingers crossed.
But it's late and I am tired and annoyed.
If it happens again... I will try to make a video of whats happening so others can actually see it.

I thought I was going crazy I'm on 5.0G now the new one which adds busybox but I've been having the same exact problem as the OP but I haven't tried the Sapphire Radio yet but we all seem to experience different issues anyway.

no fun, sorry your having issues too, you say we are having different issues, could that be because we are using the HTC code and your using the GOOGLE code? or did i misunderstand you?
can you explain a little more about the sapphire radio vs other radios? ive been trying to understand what the difference is, and how to switch between them, but so far im unable to find a clear answer, so can you tell me the difference and how to switch between them?
thanks for your help
EDIT:
oh and what do you use busybox on the g1 for? i just read up on it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BusyBox) and i have a general idea of what it is now, but whats the use of it on the g1? do you use it as kind of a DOS for the g1? is it more for developers than end users?

This problem has happened to me but seems as all I needed to do was to reupdate the radio. It worked for me!

try reflashing the rom, then do the radio update

Hi all, I've just rooted my phone (Australian release on Optus) and i was wondering if the radio update has regional limitations or not? Because i've heard positive things about it but I don't want to screw my phone up.

Update for HTC HD2 SIM Contacts --> what for?

There is an update for the HTC HD2, dated 2010-01-07, named Update for HTC HD2 SIM Contacts.
Now, for those who applied it, what problems did you ran over regarding SIM Contacts, and what is the reason you applied this update anyway.
Moreover, were the problems you find, solved by this update?
Thanks in advance!

I installed the update to ensure i was up to date with hotfixes. i didnt have issues with viewing contacts on the SIM card but I like the fact that this hotfix updates the radio to that included in ROM 1.61.

I applied the patch because it includes a radio update. The patch is misnamed IMO.

Right. However, do you have the SMS-remaining-in-Outbox issue?
If so, did you have it prior to installing this update (the SIM Contact update)?

I haven't heard anyone say that they started getting the SMS outbox issue after applying the radio update. Ive never has that issue.

Never heard of it?
Well, there are only 700 something replies to this thread older thread, that started with an older problem which was apparently "fixed" by some update, but now messages get stuck in Outbox, and 300 something replies on this thread, where people are complaining about this issue.
However, after speaking to some of them in the second thread, they've apparently updated their radio with the update I mentioned in my first post on this thread... Call it karma?

amang22005. Ive obviously heard of the issue, I must have missed the 700 messages you have read stating that it has been seen as a direct consequence of installing the SIM Contact hotfix however.

Good thing your such an expert in sarcasm, m8 !
Now really: howcome I and so many others (who didn't apply the SIM contacts update...just for that...) never had problems with the sms-stuck-in-outbox like issue?
And there is a complete thread of almost 400 posts now, with people confirming that the problem has something to do with the data connection, which, by the way, is treated apparently some way different in the new radio version.
And yet again, did you at least read 1 post from the duzen where people confirmed they've applied the update (SIM contact), which changed the radio and confirmed that they also have the SMS-stuck problem?
What do you really need for trying to be helpful? 700 something posts confirming the issue and update-applied?

Anyway... leaving sarcasm apart, did anyone see any enhacements with the new radio? Anything better, anything repaired?
Or did you all apply it just because it was a new radio?

I wasn't actually being sarcastic, u just read it that way.

after i installed it , i could not find my file with contact photo's in it ( still can't )

As far as the radio update is concerned:
After the update reception is way better for me. Usually at home I had bad connection (1 to 2 bars GSM/EDGE), even some dropped calls occasionally and bad talking quality over all. But after the update I have almost full bars with GSM all the time with perfectly clear (as far as the phone can handle) talking quality. I even believe the lag to be less now. And for the first time my HD2 even can get a 3G/HSDPA signal where I live.
Makes one wonder why they didn't do it this way from the beginning. But that's a question that applies pretty often....

I have also found the reception to be a lot better, at home my signal was also very poor and the occasional SMS wouldn't send, kept having to use Resend until it went, since the radio update I have had no problems with sending SMS at all.

reception of 3g slightly increased here after this radio update. gsm like normal (full).

Ok, great... So better reception! This is good to know!
One golden star for HTC for this one!
However, I do wonder whether you had a SIM contacts problem or some kind...?

dropping signal and missed calls

hey guys lately my hd2 has been dropping its signal randomly and when I try to text somebody, im also having the problem of me not receiving phone calls from people but seeing on theirphone that they called me. I asked for help awhile back but no one replied so I figured I try again and maybe this time someone can help me, please this is so annoying!

idk..
idk its weird i'm having the same problem with my phone. earlier this week i can make calls and text just fine with no problems now my phone keeps telling me it lost connection or unable to send text.

It also happens to me once in a while. It'll have full signal bars, but when I go to make the call, it'll update and tell me there's no signal and won't let me call. It even happens if I don't go to make a call. It's really frustrating since it won't get a signal again for a couple of minutes.

I'm glad im not the only one with this problem now only if we can get some help with this issue than this thread wont be a total waste

Well, the only thing I can say, is you guys need to put some info up about your phones, like maybe the Radio version and the ROM version ...
Good things to keep in your sig ..
Might be able to help, but sounds like you guys might just need a radio update ....

Had problems when i first had the phone but with the following i have not had any issues, also running android 2.1 with out any issues as well.
USA TMOBILE HD2
HSPL2, I know HSPL3 is/has been out and is recommended, but is there any advantage in using it, i don't want to change if i don't need to
Radio 2.10.50.26
O.S. 5.2.21908 (21908.5.0.93)
Manila 2.5.20161332.0
Energy.Leo.21908.Sense2.5.Cookie.Jul.16 (absolutely love the energy roms, always updated and he includes the program to back up all settings making the update flashes a pleasant experience)

Me too
I've been having very similar problems. Additionally, my 3G transfer rate seems to cap out at around 2 Mbps, despite living in an area that supposedly has HSPA+ data (Rochester, New York).
I'm using the stock T-Mobile ROM (the updated one), version 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE. ROM date 4/28/10
Radio version is 2.10.50.26.
I've been hesitant to flash an unofficial ROM or a new radio because I don't want to void my warranty before I've ruled out the possibility of a hardware flaw. I initiated a trouble ticket with T-Mobile smartphone support late last week, but haven't heard anything back yet.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if I can provide any more info.

I'd like locations too. I haven't had so much as a hick up on my HD2 in over a month. No dropped calls, no connection issues. Etc.... I'm curious if this is happening in certain locations and may be a tower issue over a phone issue. People usually fail to realize your phone really only represents about 20% of your phone quality. Tower location, landmarks, buldings, rain, humitdity, cement walls, etc... all have effects on your signal. When I had the stock HD2 rom installed I would get calls breaking up in my apt. But I could just open the door and go outside and it cleared right up. Now since running Kumars rom I seem to get great reception anywhere I go. Remember TMO's working on their HDSPDA thingy all over the country. They have taken down our 3G network about 6 times this last week for a couple hours at a time. But now I get way way way more (H)'s then (3G)'s now. ALso what are your data speeds? I get 3MB/0.88MB If your getting way less then that their may be somethign wrong with the network or your settings. I've seen as high as 5.5/1.5 out in LA.

wow as long as am not the only one with the problem. but what mine does is it will show full signal and when am making the call i lose it so i wont b able to call

i'm in new york,n.y and i have the htc 2.13 rom and my radio is 2.10. Today i gave somebody my number and they called me right in front of me so i could store their number,i watched their phone ring and my phone showed full bars and didnt ring once. they had to call me again and then it went through,i'm thinking about upgrading my radio but dont know how to yet and if i need to flash a custom rom in order to do so.

Have u tried looking into ur task manager and viewing which tasks r running (end all tasks)? I was having the same problems and I just could not figure what was going on and I have talked with others and they asked me about consistently ending my tasks as much as possible, which could slow down ur phone. Well, I noticed that everytime I would go and view my task manager that my phone was in active sync (I believe has to do with my email accounts bc they r constantly syncing no matter if I had put to check every 1 hr/2hr/30min so...what I did was disable all of my email accounts and what do u know...my phone hasn't been syncing out of the blue and causing drop calls PERIOD! Now, there is a difference between Active Sync and Windows Sync PC, however, Windows Sync is only when ur USB is plugged into ur PC. Well, I hope this help some...!

[Q] Emails not pushing with exchange on CM7

I've been experiencing issues with my work email not pushing to my phone running CM7. When I was on stock it was pretty quirky and I noticed the same quirky behavior on Iced Glacier, but, it's actually the closest to working now that I have CM7, other than the fact that it won't push.
So, here's what's happening, periodically (or should I say inevitably, since it happens regularly), exchange will stop pushing emails to my phone. At first, when I boot my phone, everything is working fine and I receive any emails which had not been previously pushed to my phone. After awhile, usually about 3 hours or so, push just stops working. It feels like something is getting hung up, because when I try and open mail and refresh the emails nothing happens. During this time, I also can't pull any contacts off the global contacts when I try and compose an email. On that note, I'm not sure if anything I try and send is actually going out during this time. I have tried disabling and re enabling sync, but that didn't do anything. Actually, it looks like it get stuck during exchange sync, which confuses me just as much.
However, the kicker is that if I reboot the phone, it starts working just fine... until the problem appears again. I'm currently running CM 7.0 but I had this problem in CM7 RC2 as well (my last ROM).
Any ideas guys?

Your best bet is to ask this in the correct thread. I would suggest posting this in the CM7 thread where you got the ROM. There is where other users and the developer can assist with questions such as yours.

I was originally going to ask over there, but I realized I didn't have enough posts to do so. I guess I'll live with my issue until I get enough posts to post in the developer forums (which may be awhile, because I'm a hardcore lurker).

Hey toast, I use work exchange as well and I have actually had better results with CM7 versus stock. ONly thought I have is did you do a full wipe before you upgraded/installed? That seems to fix most of my issues.
**Side Note** I know you didn't post this in the dev forum cause as a noob like me, we're not allowed.

I did do a full wipe. I make sure to always do a full wipe when installing a new ROM. I will say that CM7 works better than stock, but that's only when it works. I mean, one thing that may be causing problems is that in my area, we only have GPRS, we don't have EDGE, 3G, or Pseudo-4g. I have to roam to get EDGE, which, only provides a decent connection about half of the time. Do you think it might be possible that it's getting hung up when I leave wifi?

I think there's a good chance that is your problem. If its working good on Wifi and not on cell connection, especially GPRS, then the exchange server probably can't push data fast enough to refresh and times out.

I agree, that seems like a fairly logical reason. Especially when you consider it's also too slow to actually download MMS messages without a time-out. I guess I'm just going to have to live with this until T-mobile finally gets their network here upgraded (they were supposed to have it up and running 2 months ago, but failed to do so due to government agencies failing to get off the damn spectrum).
Either way, do you think there might be any chance of any sort of work around?

I'm curious what general area your in? I'm not gonna say who I work for but lets call it a US carrier that isn't looking forward to a possible merger with AT&T
I know the build out is supposed to aggressive this year, so there is hope your coverage gets better. Sadly, if turning off push mail and using a manual sync mode doesn't work either, I think your out of luck when not on Wifi.

I live in San Angelo, Texas. Apparently, our fiber lines have been laid and they're just waiting to flip the switch.

very weird evo problem :(

greetings. about a week ago, I noticed I was missing a lot of calls, and not receiving texts. I can call out and send texts, just cant receive anything. well today I had enough and took it to the sprint store. after 3 hours of them working on it, still nothing they went as far as trying my number on a different phone, and even that phone couldnt receive calls then. (never rings). lastly, they gave me a new phone number for my evo, and still cannot get calls. so, I along with them are super confused. is it my evo or the number that's bad? they ordered me a new phone to pick up on Tuesday, but I'm not convinced it'll work. anybody have any idea what on earth could be wrong? I'm running pure stock. oh yeah, Google voice doesn't work either for getting calls, but it can receive texts. wife's phone on our account works just fine. so weird. thanks guys.
Derek
data over 3g and WiFi is working perfectly.

It's network related. They better pay this months bill for you. Call Sprint and find out.

I've had a similar problem lately of not getting calls. I'm not missing all of them, but at least once or twice a day, all of a sudden I'll get a nerw Voice Mail, yet the phone never rang. And, I've had people tell me that when they call, it goes straight to Voice Mail
I just attributed it to having WiFi only on, although that is just a longshot guess on my part.

Ive been unable to receive texts girl 3 days now. Anybody find a fix?

what's wrong with that Rom? damn, now that I think about it, I ran that Rom and realize my problems started that day. is there a reason why that Rom caused my no calls/texts issue.

yea. when calkulin upgraded from 1.77 (great rom) to 1.8, he added a bunch of ## codes directly in the menu. but somehow the defaults were messed up. i had this problem too. it affects any rom you flash after. just full wipe and reflash calkulin's, then get your msl from msl reader, and go to the dialer. then type ##data# and select edit. make sure mode of operation is on auto. then, DO NOT OPEN SETTINGS. just power off phone, and flash something else (maybe even calkulin's 1.7.7.)

@OP
the problem isn't with your phone, it's with your account. i ran into this a few times while i worked for Sprint, and there for all the issues that came up, the only fix was to delete the account from the network in its entirety and start from scratch. sometimes there's just some corrupted code that no level of tech support knows how to do anything with that just needs to be re-written.
i'm surprised that they ordered you a new phone even though using a different device didn't work. i think it was just a move to make you feel like they're doing something for you tbh. make sure that your line is comp'ed until the problem is resolved. you could probably get your whole bill paid, but you're more likely to get half of it (i'm assuming you only have two lines) covered. my recommendation is don't get greedy, just ask for your half.
goodluck!

thanks for the info. yeah, only two lines on our account. I'm not gonna be greedy seeing as I'm the one who caused the problem (flashed the rom) I just want a working phone now I'm real curious to how long that's gonna take. I'm mean if its my account, a new phone won't solve the issue right? could take Sprint awhile to figure this all out. grrrr. and its all my fault.

I'm not gonna be greedy seeing as I'm the one who caused the problem (flashed the rom) I just want a working phone now I'm real curious to how long that's gonna take. I'm mean if its my account, a new phone won't solve the issue right? could take Sprint awhile to figure this all out. grrrr. and its all my fault.

i'm not convinced it's your fault at all. sometimes funky things happen in the back end on sprint's side.
best of luck to you!

don't think this is a rom specific issue, it's most likely the network.
I'm having the same problem on savage-zen rom rc2...
What may help is updating your radios, prl, etc. I haven't done that in a while, not too sure that it will make a significant difference though.

greetings. about a week ago, I noticed I was missing a lot of calls, and not receiving texts. I can call out and send texts, just cant receive anything. well today I had enough and took it to the sprint store. after 3 hours of them working on it, still nothing they went as far as trying my number on a different phone, and even that phone couldnt receive calls then. (never rings). lastly, they gave me a new phone number for my evo, and still cannot get calls. so, I along with them are super confused. is it my evo or the number that's bad? they ordered me a new phone to pick up on Tuesday, but I'm not convinced it'll work. anybody have any idea what on earth could be wrong? I'm running pure stock. oh yeah, Google voice doesn't work either for getting calls, but it can receive texts. wife's phone on our account works just fine. so weird. thanks guys.

I had the same problem running Evio 1.8. I tried a number of things (including different ROMS) but what seems to have fixed it was to reflash the radio. I reflashed the PRI 1.77_003 from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485&highlight=radios and my phone has worked fine ever since. Once you're in recovery (amon or clockwork) flash the zip (PRI 1.77_003) and reboot. It will flash the radio and reboot. It might solve your problem.

just letting you know, the pri is different than the radio, and we are talking about evio 1.8 starting problems like this for many, including me.

so do u think its worth rooting again, and trying all that, or wait till I get the different evo and see how that goes? to be honest, I didn't want a different phone. I really liked this one and do you think them giving me a new number affects any of these trouble-shooting efforts? thanks.

If you have the time I would try my suggestion and or dkdude36 suggestion. He is correct in that the PRi is not the radio. I was in a hurry to type out the message. But I do mean the PRI, and I use the 1.77. You'll have to root the phone again, and nan-unlock. Then install a ROM and a recovery. If it doesn't work you'll have to restore it to stock before you return the phone so it will take some time to do all that. I was running Evio 1.8 for a while then one day I couldn't receive calls. I tried many things but the PRI fixed my phone. It's really up to you and how much time you have.

calkulin's evio 1.8
dkdude36 i think is right, i had the same problem a month ago, had to call *2 for help.
want ah guess what rom i was running....evio 1.8!
now i'm on Eternal Prophecy 5.8 got to read the hole thread, zero bugs!
