hi there,
I have my new N1 shipped to Hong Kong. I knew there is an issue on 3G for US. but don't think it will affecting if in here....
Unfortunately I experience that when I want to use internet thr. 3G network, it is unable to auto-enable (after the phone is sleeping a while). Now it only can use wifi or completely re-boot it. It is weird for such on HTC machine. I haven't have such issue on magic or hero?
The 3G issue is a android prob and i had it with my other android phones:
Cliq/Dext
Magic
dream
hero
behold 2
Not sure why it has a prob with 3G but i hope it gets fixed soon.
it is so strange, after re-boot the phone, then no such problem
It's weird that some people are having these issues and some aren't. I have a mytouch, G1 and Nexus One and I never lose 3G in my city. I just don't see how it could be a problem with Android when not everyone is experiencing it. I've also never heard of anyones phone having to be restarted to get 3G, that's really weird.

It depends on your area and your towers. I've had my N1 work just perfectly on 3G - with great download speeds even. Then I move just a mile or two away and suddenly it is giving me all sorts of problems where my G1 has 3G just fine. I've had it work just fine in areas with a weak 3G signal, and I've had it be a nightmare in an area with a (supposedly) strong 3G signal.
<halfbakedtheory>My particular theory is that there are some towers in T-Mobile's network that use a configuration that the N1 doesn't want to listen to and so it then oscillates between wanting to use Edge on that nearby really strong signal (which supports 3G, but the N1 is blind to that), or using 3G on some weak signal from a neighboring tower. It then flip-flops unable to make up its mind. Other phones with a firmware that trusts all of the T-Mobile towers would simply use 3G on the local tower and avoid the quandary. And if you have never been in an area served by such a tower then you've never seen the problem...</halfbakedtheory>
Hey guys,
Just wondering if any t-mobile htc hd2 owners was one the WIND carrier. Just want to know how your experience was with this carrier, and if its worth it. Like any drop calls or any calls being not made. Those kind of problems or any other issues you might of experienced.
THXXX in advance
I just have Wind for onE day so far i have one drop call and that maybe due to my older Nokia fone which i test it with the caling (while charging via usb on my notebook and the connection bar up and down and i live in Coquitlam -- bad signal area!)
i also received call from US, Alberta with no problems so far

Having had this X10 for 4 weeks now, I have to say it's been uphill. Coming off the TREO line (who had more than it's fair share of issues) Then to WIN6. I was pretty happy to get all the feature rich options on this Sony.
Problem I'm having here is connections.
In the 4 weeks, I've had 3 occurrences (lasting days at a time) where the network will not deliver calls to the phone. Right to voice mail. I've swapped the SIM into my old BlackJack II and still no calls incoming OR out going. I get "NETWORK BUSY". With my girlfriend having bought the same phone a week later than I did, she is having the same issues at the same times.
Albeit mine is flashed with generic NA, rooted etc.. I don't see this as being a contributor to this issue. So my question to Southwestern Ontario X10 users is.. Are you getting the same type of issues?
-Calls not going out or coming in.
-Data will not go out or come in via 3G or WiFi
-Dropped calls
-Calls straight through to voice mail
Rogers TECH level 2 says nothing (calls maybe monitored for training purposes) and for firing their rear ends should they cast shadow on Rogers holy cow 3G mess. A girl in iPhone support said 3G issues since beginning of Sept. My guy didn't have the minerals to admit it.
Wait, are you having issues with Wi-Fi too? Because that shouldn't have anything to do with Rogers.
I live in SW Ontario (Windsor) and neither I nor anyone I know has been having issues with reception.
Did this just start happening recently? I don't know how to fix it, but you could definately get some free stuff added to your plan if you argue with Rogers about how you don't get any reception
I live in London ON, with no problems at all with connection our reception I have 4 bars as I type but yah if your having problems with WiFi then defiantly something more then just connectivity issues more like a hardware issue.

I live in Hamilton, and know for a fact that they've been having issues around here, because I've seen the techs working on the towers! That being said, I've noticed a lack of getting a 3G signal in those areas, not a lack of data coming through.
As previous posters said, if WiFi isn't working either, it's gotta be a device problem.
I'm in the Caledon area and the calling portion of the phone has been solid. I've had a problem the last few days but I've confirmed with Rogers that the local tower is messed.
Did you get a new SIM card when you got the X10? I've heard folks are having problems with older Sim cards.
No problems with signal here in Ottawa. Phone calls always seem to get through, and sound fine. Think I've had one dropped call since getting the phone, and that was at my work where the building tends to cause general reception issues on most phones.
Definitely try a new SIM if you haven't already. My X10 wouldn't even boot with the SIM from my old phone.
Brantford here, no connection problems whatsoever.
Thornhill, Ontario here. I'm on Fido, but they use the same network as Rogers anyway. No connection issues here. In fact, much better reception on my X10 than previous phones (iPhone 3g, Motorola Milestone).
Kingston, ON here and no problems as well. Though I did have issues when I got the phone and I used my old sim card. Tech said to get new sim card so I did and no issues since then! Ive had the device 7 weeks now.

I live in London and since early September a lot of us have been experiencing network problems on/near UWO campus. Very delayed sms messages, inability to place phone calls, spotty (at best) 3G coverage and consequently very slow data speeds. Many of us have contacted Rogers and complained about it, supposedly it's due to a "poor coverage area" totally isolated around the university, but most likely their network is just overwhelmed now with number of students back in town, hopefully they address and fix these issues soon.

Newmarket 4 solid bars no issues at all.
My old sim card did not like the xperia, new one has been just fine.
No probs here in East York (Toronto).
Mississauga here, no problems at all!
When I talked to tech support yesterday I was told Rogers was aware of and resolving the network problems in south western Ontario, mainly the London area I guess (which where I am) has been experiencing a lot of issues the past couple weeks. Has nothing to do with reception bars or anything on the X10, any device on Rogers has been experiencing the same thing. Hopefully Rogers sorts it all out soon
Toronto, on. i had alot of issues with the phone such as receiving txts like 4 hours late, losing 3g for couple of hours, having 100 dropped calls a day. rogers told me x10 requires new sim (bs imo), got a new sim, same issue. got a new phone, all the other issues went away however i still have 10-20 dropped calls a day.
Rogers is aware of the 3G network issues from woodstock to windsor. It's been a long month of issues.
I think it has to do with many people getting smart phones and using more of the network. meh my .02
I'm in Windsor and have been experiencing the same problems. Rogers knows about it. I work in a factory and when the network goes down it is all smartphones, Iphones, X10, htc etc. I have checked. I advise everyone to call Rogers and demand a bill credit. Most of the guys at work have called and gotten half their bill credited for the month and will do so again next month if the problems still exist. I will definitely be calling customer service myself tomorrow.
I live in Boise, Idaho and I am on the At&t network. In the past month, I have had a lot of trouble with my 3g connection. Suddenly, some apps are giving me errors and not updating and often I am not able to use my browser... I am not a conspiracy theorist but I have to ask... Is At&t purposely causing network problems to try to convince the government that they need to acquire T-Mobile? We all know that At&t has been found guilty of anti-trust issues in the past. Check out the link below for perspective and AT&T and T-MOBILE customers let me know if you have had extra issues with your network in the last month or two! http://www.phonescoop.com/news/item.php?n=8227
Few times I've tried using 3G I don't recall any problems. Could be the phone, no?
Certainly, I try and keep an open mind one way or the other; however, my wife has had problems with the network on her HTC Aria and I have also had the problems on my Samsung Focus in the same timeframe. I am just curious if other users from around the country have had new and ongoing issues with data recently. I see some potential good in the merger but, as a customer of AT&T, I want to do my part to further the discussion of this issue.

Left T-Mobile for sprint so far can't complaint.. Screw AT&T
Hello xda. I need help.
The Issue: Bought a stock US LG G2 D800, unlocked (but AT&T branded) off a reseller on e bay back in May of 2015. The seller advertises their phones as new/unused. Long story short, the phone basically has been unusable to me for it's main function - to make/receive/maintain phone calls.
I've researched a ton online, and here on xda, but have yet to find a definitive solution for the G2. I first was trying to use the phone on a Tmobile service provider: Family Mobile. Then because of the crapped out signal reception, I tried other service providers because I thought the there was something up with Family Mobile. I tried - Metro PCS, Straight Talk, then finally straight AT&T. My signal fluctuates between 1 and 3 bars of service at home every 30 seconds to 1 minute with all of those service providers. At 1 bar, I'll either drop calls or can't carry on a conversation.
I've spent hours talking to customer service reps and changing my settings with no resolution only to finally put the last SIM card into my old BLU phone and immediately get at least 3 bars of signal at home. Every service provider stated my area of Southern California (I'm just east of Los Angeles) was well covered for voice and data LTE service. For years prior to getting the G2, I in fact had good service at home with my previous phones and most everywhere else (I had been with Tmobile Walmart Family Mobile for at least 4 years before getting the G2).
An AT&T Microcell signal booster at home works, but I need to use voice services everywhere else anybody else would, and the issue is apparent anywhere and everywhere. Once in a while, depending on where regionally I am, it will get full 5 bars of signal, but that is rare.
The phone has a 1 year warranty. I've sent it to LG for repair 3 times and they just give me the run around. First they replaced the camera, then they said they found no problem, finally they said it was a Flash Memory issue. I've read that they blacklist some phones after the first visit for repair.
I read all through this post but found no exact fix for US phones - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46648526#post46648526
The seller sent me another new G2 phone, and guess what, same issue. The first phone was updated to 5.0.2. The replacement phone is still running 4.4.2. Yet the problem is the same, only that the 5.0.2 phone also has the GPS connectivity issue and the hot battery issue.
I still have both phones, although the seller asked me to send back the "bad" phone. From all I've read, the issue is either related to some D800's software or bad design of antenna. I saw the video on the GPS/Signal fix but tried it and that didn't do anything for me.
Some G2 owners from Europe and the Middle East have fixed their signal issues by rooting and going from there. I have never rooted a phone and don't have experience with flashing rom's and related, but I'm willing to learn. Does anyone have any knowledge of a US specific fix for this issue? I'll either stay with AT&T, or since I know Tmobile service actually works (and it's cheaper), I may go back to them, so if there is a software fix, it may be AT&T or Tmobile specific from what I've read.
Thanks.
