Mobile Reception Inconsistant after hard flash!!!

After doing a Hard Flash for the first time from 1.43 to 148 and rebooting my HD2. Within several minutes my reception speed would change from 3G to GPRS and back again while on the go, this has never happen before and was wondering is there a way to have consistent 3G speed/reception or was there a fault during my flash?
Any suggestions or help would most helpful.

Did you flash with SSPL / Gold card or with the HDSPL in-tacked?

EITHER WAY:
Press Phone Key>Options>GSM/UMTS Services:
Here select Band....then, "Get Settings"
The first tab should say GSM. Drop down menu option you want is WCDMA. This will force 3G all the time. However I don't recommend this setting as this will consume more battery.
Leaving it in 2G saves more battery and voice quality doesn't change....

hi,
maybe you flashed the radio part of the rom also, when you flash from 1.43 to 1.48?. im not sure, but you should check out this htc update, and try it. its a replacement for the radio portion of your rom only, and maybe fixing your problems. my singnal strengh has stoped to swing between full and no bars, and i have full bars most of the time, with this update.
regards mad.

Stock Roms include the Radio so if there was a change between one stock and the other then a change will occur...
There is nothing wrong with the radio band switching automatically though so unless you have bad reception, everything should be fine.

ah ok so im in 'the wrong film' . and again i learnd somthing from this great forum.
mad

ok. i know its not right to post it here. but please someone help ?

ok i seriously need some help. MODs please delete this if you feel like it. but i really want to know the answer for this since i posted it in the OT but no one replied.
my problem is signal issue with the EVO roms. specially from Mdeejay EVO roms
i downloaded the cayanogen rom and i have no problem with the signal " specially if i use it in 2G connection. its almost all the time full bars. while on 3g it sometimes varies between 2, 3 or full.
however, with Mdeejay eVo Sense v. 1.6 Revolution" and the other "warm evo" rom the he made. i do have the signal problem .
it sometimes show to me no bars at all just dots. even tho, if i call, or someone call, it goes through ...i think lol
it keeps on playing with the bars.
whats up with that? i am using a Tmobile version of the phone. " no i am not in US but i wanted extra ram/rom
i have been told that the HD Euro version has better signal. is that bs ?
anyway please please please someone help me with my question about the signal. its killing me. i love this rom so much i want to keep it. even the wallpapers are ****ing amazing. but this signal bar thing is driving me crazy

Honestly man i can't help you! I have signal issues also in all Android roms! I don't think Euro HD2 has a better signal!!! At least mine doesn't!
I feel so bad when i see an old nokia with a full signal and mine is 1 bar or none! I tried radio 2.12, 2.14, and 2.15 all the same and signal fluctuates a lot!
But i should tell you this: I like your nickname a lot!

for startes, have you tried flashing a different radio?

i might be an idiot if i answer this honestly but so be it. i didnt really flash the system. my friend did it for me . he told me its the best and fastest rom available for HD2 to froyo " built in andriom app to boot also "
all i do is just change the andriod roms by changing the folder on SD card and it does the rest lol.

i see your from lebanon ? keefek 7abiby
anyway. actually if you install the cayanogen rom. and switch the network signal to 2G only. it never drops below 3 bars in my case. which is good for me " i dont use 3G at all. and never planing to. i have wifi all around me "

I have the same problem with m-deejay builds.
The connection keeps dropping. Try using a darkstone build. Works fine for me.

I've tried to solve it by using darkstone's kernel but this does not work as well.
Others have this problem as well if you search in m-deejay's threads. I think you should try solving your problem there

ok i downloaded a program called no signal bar. from the market place.
it basically notify you when your phone is out of coverage.
and it works very well. so now. if i get a no signal bar from the rom, my signal notifier tell me that the phone is didnt lost signal. i try to make a call and it goes through. its accurate.
so i am happy for now. at least i am not afaird if losing signals when i see the fake bars from the rom playing .
i even tried to call my self when the signal no bars while the program " no signal bar"tells me i still have coverage. and it went through . i am happy panda... for now till i get a better fix for this

3G does not work when the bars are not displayed.
You can see this in the phone info application when you type *#*#4636#*#*

1- for some reason this number doesnt work for me. i am using Tmobile HD2 and the Evo Rom . might have anything to do with it ?
2- i really dont care about 3g. i just dont want the signal bar to keep showing there is no signal with its 4 dots crap signal when there is in fact a very good signal.
its like how the iphone 4 used to display signal that is not true.
are we the only 2 here who have this problem ? lol might be defective phones? lol

you can install the program called NETWORK from App store and basically change the setting to GSM (PRL) from that program

I don't think there is anything wrong with the phone.

i have tried around 3 builds so far or 4.
the only builds that has perfect signal bar to me is Cayanogen Builds " where in the setting there is an option called " Use only 2G networks " and have that checked.
any other version " specially if its build based on EVO ? " has a problem for me.
i am surprised not many are talking about this really.

Help! My SGS2 is dropping calls

My phone is dropping every single call lasting more then 20 40 seconds. It suddenly turn off all receivers and the call of course ends at that point.
Is there any fix to this?

Try this modem, works for me, before i had problems with handovers from GSM - 3G

First try to set your wireless network to gsm only..try to make the same calls..if you have no more call drop issue...get your phone replaced.
I am one of the unlucky ones who are having serious issues when gsm/wcdma mode is selected.. basically when the signal strength changes and the phone is trying to lock to another cell..it simply disconnects and resets the radio..actually you can try running LogCat and see...just before your radio resets the is a process of usb host getting installed/disconnected and gets blacklisted..something like that.
If you are not having these symptoms than it is some other issue...try it out and see.

Normally cell phone providers have soft handoff where the signal strength decreases and the strength from other cell site increases and that site starts processing the call hard handoff happens between gsm and cdms probiders normally seen in roaming calls...by any chance are you in an area where reception is weak

Mine was dropping every call if it lasted long enough. Tried to flas with the newest ROM from Samfirmware, but no improvement. Tried to flas the modem in post #2. Hopefully this will help.
Seems to turn off all recievers both Wifi, 3g, cell. Showing only a " Ø "sign where reception is.

Do you have a bad signal inside your home? Signal inside a house can never be guaranteed as there are many factors that affect signal strength - especially indoors.

I have an S3 and I get very good signal on that at home it's just something wrong with the S4 but i just don't know what... I get not one bar on it any else where, only when I go into town area

when you connect downtown, do you know what network you are (2G, 3G, LTE)?
It might be that near your home you only have (for example) 2G, but your phone is set to search for 3G only.

So I tried different modems and I flashed stock rom twice and still no luck, any other suggestions please

I take it u can't read or u don't have a very good sense of humor eh?

We might have a very similar issue, I also don't have a solution (yet).
My phone does not connect to 3G, only 2G and LTE.
To check if you are in the same situation:
*#2263#
then play a little with the settings there... (for example try 3G only).
see if you get any positive things out of this.
(as a note: in some of the options I can connect to 3G, BUT I cannot make or receive any calls - internet is working though). You can choose a single option only (try each 2G, 3G, LTE and see what happens). However, I strongly suggest to keep a combination of 2, see the note above).

Yes, its possible. Use Odin 3.0.7 or 3.0.9 and flash DBT (German) or BTU (UK) ROM. After flashing boot it up (but don't set up) and do hard reset either from Menu or use key combos.

This is when I'm in town today, full signal

And now I'm out of town, what could possibly be the problem, gosh this one is hard to figure, I don't think anything is wrong with the main board

Guess I'm gonna have to change the board since no one has any ideas of my problem

The answer is in your picture of being in town. You are only connecting on EDGE. So my guess would be that you have bad coverage in that area, ie weak signal and no LTE.
Check your providers coverage map.

Redmi 2 2014819 QCN file?

Hi all, I had lost my IMEI information and I managed to fix this using the QCN file for the 2014811 variant but this QCN has no support for Brazilian LTE bands cos my variant is 2014819 so all I get now is H+ internet. Does anyone here have the original qcn file for the brazilian variant so I can re-edit with my IMEI and get 4G back? Thanks in advance.

Are you having signal drops after flash the QCN? I'm having since then, don't know if is hardware or not. I don't want to send to assistance and my warranty is almost over.

Yes

Yes, on TIM the signal dropped but because at home 4G signal is stronger than 3G where I live but on Oi, 3G signal is real strong. I want 4G back and I can't seem to find the original QCN for the Brazilian variant.

Where I live there's only 3G so I don't know about 4G.
What I mean with signal drop is not the strenght and yes the signal itself. Sometimes I have no signal with the message "no sim card detected" than I've to turn on/off airplane mode some times to come back.

I don't have that issue

Oh no I don't get that, my sim card is always detected after I flashed the cqn but since this one is for Indian variants, I get no 4G, and my problem now is finding the cqn for the 2014819 variant, I have no friends with this cell phone so it gets difficult. You should reflash that if you say it used to work better before.
