Hi guys,
ive had my exec for about 2 weeks now. In the last week it has started to randomly loose network signal. It keeps searching till you either soft reset it or turn flight mode on and off. It will find a signal in about 10 seconds after that.
Is this there a 'dont keep loosing signal' setting that im missing?!
Mine does the same thing - annoying as hell! Not worked it out yet.
Are you talking about telephone or GPRS signal ( U or G )
Phone signal
everything! it looses all signal.
I called o2 and they want me to go into an 02 shop for them to have a look at it before they give me a replacement
The are all 'handset trained' apparently.
I also called o2 a week ago stating the same problem, They gave me a refferance number and said they will look into it, But of corse 1 week later they have not called me, So this afternoon i will find the referance number and give them a call.
I will post ther Bollox answer on here tonight

Same problem here with a MDA Pro. I ahve noticed that this happens when I am roaming in Germany as well. Very anoying. That and the thing freezing in a call and needing a re-set. This is my second one as the first one the screen portion became loose, happened on the one before as well.
I have the same problem althoughmine will refind the signal after about a minute. It seems to disappear whenever I ask thephoneto do something new (open a program etc).
I finally persauded T-Mobile to exchange mine so I'm getting a new one delivered tomorrow.
I'll let you know if that fixes it!

My XDA2 used to lose its ability to communicate if I was out of a signal area for more than 15 minutes, but I haven't had it happen yet with the Exec. A soft reset or Flight Mode on/off cycle would fix it.
It is frustrating but didn't happen often.
Well i phoned o2 and they said there was still no answer and that no one else had complainded about this, So i told them of this forum......
As per the last post i have also had this on a 2 and 2i, and i gree if its out of servie for a few mins its seems to give up looking for service until you reset.
mine has done it overnight befor, i looked befor going to bed and it had just the 3 dots flashing where the aerial should be. the next morning it was still the same, quick soft rest and into full service, thats when i first rang o2
John
I've had this on all my XDAs in the past, and seems to continue with the Exec.
Very annoying, but not sure what can be done about it.

guys,
wait for a rom upgrade from o2, ( with new radio rom)
that should solve the problem.
happens with xda, xda2, skipped xda2-i and xda2-s,
and now it's back.. :roll:
Hi Guys, I have been having this problem for weeks with my MDA Pro. I convinced myself it wasn't the phone and that it was T-Mobiles Network. In desperation last night I spoke to T-Mobile about the problem. They told me it was a faulty phone and that I would have to contact the supplier of the phone and ask them to replace it. I tried to explain others had the problem and that I wasn't happy to have to send my phone off and wait for a replacement. But no avail. So I sat down at home and looked at the settings. I think I might of cured it! Maybe it is a fluke but by clicking the signal meter and going to settings, then changing network selection to manual it has stopped hunting when it loses signal and quickly re-picks it up. HNope this helps others.

Defenitely...that did it.
I had the same in Holland with KPN: while switched to manual no more problems.
In Romania however, where I also have UMTS, I had to switch it back (or it switched itselve back, after changing SIM card, I don't remember) to AUTO.
There it switches from GPRS to UMTS if UMTS signal is OK.

Ok, i have the same problem. Have GPRS Always on set in registry and 10 minutes ago, my MDA Pro lost GPRS connection. It trys to reconnect all the time. But no Connection can be build up. After Flight Mode and back, i get a connection immediately. But on start of MSN Messenger, it loses the connection again and does the same loop like before. Only a softreset brings my connection back to live.
Looks like a ROM issue. Maybe GSM or CE.
I am delighted to say that my replacement MDA Pro seems much more stable in the signal department. Although I still loose signal ocaasionally, I no beleive that is due to poor signal area and not the phone...
If you phone isloosing and reconnecting all the time then like mine it is probably faulty! Hopefully the ROM upgrades will sort out the last few issues I'm having!!
I love this phone!!
Same problem with JASJAR
People still have this problem? i'm using radio 1.03.01. When i used the original firmware, the phone part would lock up (Would get the busy - wait 15 seconds and try again, but it would never clear - had to soft reset)
With the 1.03.01 radio, i still get disconnected, but it'll find the signal again after a few retries - which is very bad! I rely on the phone at work, and people can't get through when it's disconnected. I have full signal strength (4 bars) so it's a software/hardware problem.
It looks like maybe it happens more frequently when charging or activesync'ing, than when it's disconnected from usb.
Can anyone confirm having the same problem, and it getting better or FIXED with the new radio firmware? If not, i'm going to have to return it.

I am using radio version 1.04.02 on the O2 exec, although i use a Vodafone SIM (supplied by work!). Mine suffers from the same problem, mainly at home, which is a very odd signal area for Vodafone. I can go from no signal to full signal to none again, and yes, sometimes it drops completely and needs a soft reset - bingo! full signal again.
Switching the network type from auto to GSM does seem to make the unit a little happier, but i need to use WCDMA when possible, so i leave mine on auto and live with the dropouts!
Lets hope the next rom fixes the problem.
Cheers

I have the same problem with my XDA and O2. a soft reset nor a full reset have been able to fix the problem. :roll: is the new rom version available as yet?
Hi, My O2 Exec has problems with the WIFI connection, no matter where I go, if O2 Exec isn't really near the access point, will not detec or connect to the wireless network.
when I say near, is around 1 meter from the access point antenna, if I go more tham 3 meters, goes almot 100% oofline and 4 meters even detect. It happens at home and at work, in both locations my laptop works fine 40m from the access point and my nokia 9500 (cel I used to have) goes 30m, I've made this tests of distance today.
So... seems to be on My O2Exec the problem... ... I think started when I upgraded the ROM to latest build available at my-xda.
Please, any clue? I already changed performance/battery from the control panel/wireless and even reset many times, updated the rom again.. no clue at all...
HELP!!!!
Problem SOLVED - My O2 EXEC was WITHOUT WIFI ANTENNA!!!!
Hi, I discovered my O2 Exec came without WIFIAntenna... so... I've build one, is working very nice now, range better than Nokia 9500... I got the answers thru a picture of a O2Exec open showing all Antenna conectors...
Mine didn't got the antenna or any screw... impressi, I've build one very simply and is working in a fantastic way... TEARS!!!!!!
That is a nice bit of work, if it was a fault like that they should have replaced your device. Only problem there is that you had to void your warranty to find out that the device had not been propperly assembled... Amazing!
Benchmark - better signal than original
Hi, now I updated the antenna, with more one piece of metal, used to buld antennas.
The signal is 25% better than original antenna.
TEARS!!!!
Regards,
Franco
Would you mind sharing a few pics of your antenna, or the link to where you saw the antenna connections? I saw your picture, but it so close I don't recognize anything on it.
oh, and BTW....
THANKS!
I am wondering if the wifi issue is software or hardware problem? I am hoping its a software issue and will be fixed in an update because my 14 days have passed for best buy return policy. If its hardware could i just send it into acer? Just sucks I can barley go outside my room with the router to keep signal.
I have no problem what so ever with my wifi, i can even connect to my wifi when i visit my parents across the street.
Its not some high grade wifi either, just a small d-link access point.
I've had no issues with wifi connections either. I've even sat in the parking lot at McD's and accessed their wifi. It see's several of my neighbors networks too.
what wifi issue??
What they said. I've had no problems with either if my tablets
wifi great for me as well
I can see several neighbors router sitting anywhere in my home.our router is in the basement.I can go out in the far back yard and and still connected.with that said I never have more then 2 bars I do not think it reports correctly.

My first unit would drop from 5 to 2 bars walking out of the bedroom my new dual band n1 was was sittin. Within 25 feet when I checked to update my tablet, I gotta 'signal too poor' message.
I called acer support, gal I spoke with was green with the device but put on hold and consulted with a senior support tech. They took my info and directed me to exchange the device.
I did the next day and the new unit has no issues with connectivity any longer.
Yes there is a few units out in the wild that they deem to have a defective wifi device on-board....
I would suggest exchanging if you still can asap, although I'm sure you would have no issue gettin a replacement from acer 'america' if you gave them a shout.
Give them a call, I'm sure they will help you out and post your response from them.
Really ??
You exchanged through Acer support ?? I thought most people would just take it to where they bought it .. I would never have thought of that ... only if my return timeline with the store were expired and then we would contact support based on the 1 year warranty ..etc
good to know -)

I took it back to staples where I purchased....
ya but i waited past my 14 days to return to best buy....so now id have to send it in which i dont want to at all. To clarify...it has got better the last few days..dunno how. But i downloaded wifi analyzer on both my nook color and this and kept comparing the 2. The nook does occasionally about 10 dmb stronger but for the most part its pretty close to the same.
Maybe It's Something Else...
For the past couple of hours I've been playing with FTP servers on my Iconia (and found two apps in the Market that make it easy to set up - FTP Server and Wireless File Transfer - both free). See this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1094289
Now I was thinking, on some of my earlier mobile devices, there was a setting that was called "WiFi Powersave" or something like that and it was always recommended to turn that off because it screwed up the WiFi by cycling it when the thing thought you needed to conserve battery life.
Sort of like the f.....ng useless confirmations that Windoze likes to throw in every app. Anyway, does anyone know of a kind of "hidden setting" that Acer might of thrown in 'cause sometimes WiFi file transfer works great and sometimes my PC cannot find the Iconia?
Good day all,
I got my N4 a few days before Xmas 2012. It's the best Android experience yet but I have a big problem:
The signal on my phone drops randomly when I'm on mobile internet (H and E -- haven't seen 3G yet). Randomly means sometimes once in 30 seconds or once in 5 minutes. The signal disappears for like 5 seconds and then pick-ups again and connects to the internet. Wifi is not turned on.
Has anyone had this problem or can direct me to a thread that discusses this? It's really annoying since I sometimes do remote access (teamviewer, etc) via mobile internet and have subscribed to an unlimited use of mobile internet which is quite expensive in my country. My money is wasted if I don't get constant connection whenever I need it.
Is it a hardware problem or a software problem that the next OTA update will fix?
I previously had an HTC Sensation (in the same locations that I get the dropped connections now) and there weren't any problems at all.
I've tried Googling but I have come up with nothing. Replacement is not an option since N4 is not yet officially sold in the country and I just got this from a local vendor who imported them. I do have warranty and I can give it to LG to get repaired if it is a hardware problem but I need to be sure first since it will take weeks for it to get assessed and repaired.
ROM: Stock 4.2.1
Carrier: Globe (Philippines)
Thanks!
