I get this at different times in the day. I have been home all day and current have 5 bars with EVDO (29169 zip code), but I have got the notification 4 times today with "error code 13 service not activated on the network" in red. It will go away and go back to EV.
I have called VZW and spoke with tech support, they checked my area and says I should have no problems with evdo in my area. I also get this while at work too about 20 min from home.
My specs:
I have the 29.95 unlimited data
DCD 3.2.6
Radio 3.42.50
PRL 51101
Any ideas how to fix this.
after updating to PRI 2.03.002 my phone no longer displays the evdo or 1x icons on top of screen... . although everything seem to work ok.. and I am averaging 1200 d/l speeds on tether or with wifi router... all my data services seem to function ok...
Im am using DCD 3.2.6 and 3.42.50 radio..
I just have what looks like an antena icon now.....
what is going on?
I have a xv6900 on verizon and I cant get it to stay in EVDO, when I disable the radio then re-enable it it starts in EVDO with full bars then in less than 5 seconds it switches to to 1x. I did a hard reset, flashed back to stock, and I tried a different radio and it still does the same thing. I even tried running it in digital only mode and it will run in EVDO then it goes to searching for signal in less than 5 seconds. I have good EVDO service where I am so its not bad reception. has anyone had this happen before, or is the radio possibly crapping out. any help is appreciated
Hi, I have a problem that I suspect is an isolated situation, nevertheless, it has been bugging me for over a month now. Hopefully the community will have some insight.
I will try to report the problem in it's entirety:
I do have a shortcut on my desktop to Phone Info (*#*#4636#*#*). From here, the thing I note of interest is the CID, which I guess is the tower ID that my phone is currently connected to. Also of note here are the ASUs, which I'm not quite sure what they are, but they seem to correlate with the number of bars being reported (ie more asu = more bars).
I also use Hello IM (AIM app from the market) heavily, and I have "Show notification icon" enabled, so it works fairly well as a visual indicator of connectivity, or lack thereof.
Ever since I upgraded from Super D to an Eclair rom, I've had problems with 3G handoffs on Tmo. Basically, whenever my phone switches from Edge to 3G, or one 3G tower to another 3G tower (different CID in Phone Info), the connection times out. I see the infamous "up arrow but no down arrow" activity on the 3G icon in the notification bar. This happened just about everywhere I went.
About a month ago, I decided to upgrade the phone radio, from 2.22.19.26I to 2.22.23.02. For one reason or another, this completely solved my problem. I had no problems with handoffs, 3G just started working again.
A couple weeks ago, I downloaded CM6 and tried out Froyo. The first thing I notice is the weak signal on my radio. Before flashing the rom, I did a nandroid backup, and I know I had 3 bars of 3G signal where I set the phone down. After the flash, my phone had no 3G signal, and for some reason refuses to switch to edge; so my signal indicator is sitting there with an X over it. After some time, it finally does pick up a 3G signal--this is where it begins to get weird...
My 3G works right now, for the most part. There seems to be 2 very specific locations where it does not work. As mentioned earlier, I am able to check CID's through the Phone Info menu. I notice 2 CIDs where my 3G connection times out. By time out, I mean an apparent loss of data (ping doesn't work in Phone Info). This happens every time I am connected to these 2 towers. As soon as the phone switches off to another tower, data works fine again. The strange part is, even though I am not getting data, the asu and signal bars continue to move up and down as if I have a normal signal. The phone also makes no effort to switch back to Edge, even though 3G data is completely stalled (Hello IM shows as disconnected, ping fails).
This started happening since the CM6 update, and have persisted since then. Even after I did a nandroid restore back to my previous rom (Super E 1.02), the radio problem remains. Before CM6 and after I updated my radio, I had no problem connecting to these same towers.
In a nutshell:
3G does not work when I am connected to 2 specific towers since CM6 update
Phone makes no effort to switch to other 3G towers or Edge when connected to these 2 towers
When connected to these towers, signal strength continues to go up and down as normal; usually hovers at a consistent 2 to 3 bars with the stock signal indicator (4 bars max).
Currently I have tried flashing all the Eclair roms available, as well as my old Super D rom (still using 2.22.23.02 radio). Problem remains.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
UPDATE: I have noticed that I have only no 2G service. What am I doing wrong? From *#*#*4696#*#* under phone info I have enabled "WCDMA preferred". Can this be a hardware thing if I have 3G connectivity but cant connect to 2G network??
Hi everyone!
I've been having a strange problem lately - at random times and random places I suddenly have no service so i can make no calls. Then after about 10 minutes I have service again and everything seems to be just fine until the next time that happens.
This can happen at random places but also after I return from somewhere where there's not supposed to be any service (from the basement for example) it also takes very long (10-20 min) until I have service again. Also i have noticed that sometimes when I have no bars and can make no calls, I can still go online on mobile internet (not wifi).
It started after I updated Hyperdroid 2.01 to Hyperdroid 3.0. I have since then tried several times to completely wipe everything (have reinstalled WM6.5 (the problem persisted in WM6.5 also) and have wiped everything with task29.
After wiping I have reinstalled radio v 2.15.xx, MAGLDR 1.13, CWR 150MB partition and then reinstalled Hyperdroid 2.01 but i still keep getting the random service drops.
Can this be hardware-related? What else can I try?
"What else can I try?"
Your sim in another phone. Not just for 5 minutes, for a few hours.
Have you looked into your providers network status? Could be doing system upgrades.
Have you inadvertently set to use 3g only?
I didn't know that there was an option to only use 3G. But as soon as I switched to "only 2G" I lost the connection again so it might have something to do with that. How could I disable this "only 3G" (I can't find it near the "only 2G" option).
Also will try a different sim.
Thanks

sorry, not sure offhand, i used to know how to do it in winmo.
So now I have tried dialing *#*#*4696#*#* to enter "phone information" and there ir reads "WCDMA preferred" so that means 2G should be enabled as well. But when I select GSM only i dont have any service and under DATA it reads "fail because Radio Not Available". I have 2.15.xx radio rom installed, also tried 2.12.
Did your tryed to flash a other kernel?
I did. But the same kernel worked for me about a week before so this cant be it right?
Can this be a hardware thing if I have 3G connectivity but cant connect to 2G network??
thats not a hardware issue, sounds like a Rom problem. Test out the radios, and see which one gives you the best signal
I have tried different radios (2.08, 2.10, 2.15) different android roms (Hyperdroid 1.04, 2.01, 3.0, 5.30, MIUI gingerbread) and different WM6,5 roms. I have tried switching SIM cards. I have tried switching off ond on data connection. Have tried switching 2G/3G to 3G only and to 2G only. Nothing helps. I still get no service when I am in a 2G only service area.
Please help. Anybody?
finally, somebody with a same problem as me... i have tried to fix it for 6 month, and still can't get any 3g signal, i have tried task 29, wm 6.5, different android nand and sd rom.
but the 3g signal showed in wp7 rom, have you tried wp7?
I have not. Maybe I will. But my problem is that I don't have 2G signal - I do have good 3G signal though.
Tried to install Windows phone 7. No luck. Still no 2G signal. What does anybody think of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1190180?

I'm the opposite, but did you able to browse mobile internet with the no signal?? If you can, and get 2g speed then it's not the hardware, as your phone still able to get 2g signal
Sometimes my phone can browse the net in 3g speed even with no signal, so i guess its a software problem??
Two or three times I have had G or E instead of H or 3G in the notification bar but although it shows me that it has service it wont connect to the internet neither can i take calls during that time. All the time that I have 3G or H connection i can take calls and I havent noticed that internet would be slow.
So I have almost given up hope. I have quite good 3G service where I live but still 3G is not that strong indoors and I have too much downtime so my next desperate step would be to open up my phone and see if I can find something wrong with the connectors.. I really dont want to do that..
