UPDATED Title: Bad 3G/HSDPA lag/timeouts with 1.43, 1.48 & 1.61 ROMs

Got a little question for the french users in here. Can you one of you guys tell me what is the Radio version on the SFR (french Vodafone) ROM? I don't remember it and now I'm running 1.48.
I'm asking this because my data connections is acting up. sometimes when I browse (or do anything else that requires data to be sent/received) the goddamn connection just stawls for 20s. For example I'm browsing with Opera, when I click a link it goes from 3G to H, but every once in a while (well it happens rather frequently!) nothing happens (it doesn't change to H or quicly changes to H then back to 3G in less than a second) and the request times out. It renders the HD2 useless so I have to use a Wifi connection which is a pain in the ass. My iPhone, HTC Diamond, and HTC Trinity work perfectly (all with the same SIM). Unfortunitely I directly flashed to 1.48 and didn't use the phone with the SFR branded ROM (1.44 IIRC) so I don't know if this only happens with the current Radio.
Cheers
UPDATED the thread title as it seems to affect users all over Europe and with all ROMs.
this can help you?
Same problem with Bouygues Telecom and official ROM here.
I turned off the HSPDA in the advanced settings. However i keep switching from 3G to Edge when moving around, in zones that suppose to get fully 3G.
@ugo83130 : Is it the last ROM that you have here ? Is there a release history with the fixed bugs ?

Thanks!
The HD2 seems to have a spotty radio or antena. It keeps going back an forth between 3G & H is place where I didn't have any problem with my Diamond and iPhone 3G. As if sometimes the the data request is rejected by SFR. So the connection stawls for a little while then goes back to normal eventhough I'm sitting and didn't move!
Hello,
not a SFR problem.
I have exactly the same problem with Orange in France.
Waiting for a new radio rom.....
Was the problem here when you were using 1.43 version of the ROM?
Just wondering...
I think this is not just a problem in France because I to have this problem with the radio switching between H and 3G all the time and I live in Holland.
BTW. I also had this on 1.43 so I guess it is not 1.48 related.
Thanks for the input guys.
Just to be clear, going from to 3G to H when a data request is done is normal (it then goes back to 3G when the request is fullfilled). The problem is when it just doesn't go to H and nothing happens for 20s or when it hits H then directly goes back to 3G is less than a second as if the phone lost connection with the network or the request was rejected. This shouldn't happen especially when my iPhone 3G, HTC Diamond and HTC Trinity (just did a test with it) never exhibit this problem.
Upping this one to get more feedback
That's certainly the most important bug of the HD2. 1/3 of my calls fail when 3G is enable. I have to disable it to avoid such problems.
The Radio or Antena does seems to suffer from some sensivity issues. I tested the HD2 and Diamond side by side (2 SFR SIMs with identical full internet contracts). And the Diamond didn't have any problem at all going from to 3G to H then back to 3G when the request were fullfilled. The HD2 kept messing around, sometimes waiting 10/20 secs t'ill it hits H eventhough it was showing more bars next to the 3G/H icon.
It's worst than that. Even in Paris, i have never got HSDPA, but only EDGE. That's ridiculous.
Up please post your feedback if you encounter the same problem.
Those having this problem, can you post you Radio version?
Having exactly the same problem with mine here in sweden..
Operator is 3, no problem with my old Xperia X1
It happens occasionally and i have to turn radio off and switch back on again to get up again. To make a regular call is no problem, just data traffic switching from "H" to "3G" and then it is stucked..
ROM: 1.43.413.2(70124) SVE
Radio: 2.04.50.22_2

Hi,
I have the same problem on SFR in France.
ROM : 1.43.406.2 (70124) FRE
Radio : 2.04.50.22_2
Before switching to SFR, I runned on an Orange SIM for 10 days and didn't notice that kind of problem.
Some users also posted on htc-touch-hd.forumactif.biz they encounter the problem with SFR.
@ Golgi : Bring people from htc-touch-hd.forumactif.biz here to get their versions too Thanks.

[Q] Android Phone Signal Fluctuates

I'm with T-Mobile and the signal for my hd2 is solid on winmo, but when I boot android my phone signal fluctuates. It goes from 5 bars to 2 bars to none then back to 5 bars again and the cycle continues. I've tried several roms and radio changes as well as android built but that does not seem to fix the problem.
Does anyone know a way to fix this?
As of right now, I'm using Chucky with 2.12 radio and my favorite build Froyostone V2.
Mine does the same with froyostone v2 as well. Im running 2.08.50 radio. Frustrating!

Are you with T-mobile as well? Do you experience this on other builts?

Yep, have the same issue on Bangsters 1.3 build :\
T-Mobile, 2.12.50 radio
same issue with o2 and Radio 2.10 tested with HyperDroid and Bangsters
I'm T-Mobile and my signal is different depending on where I am at! But if I find the sweet spot it stays dead on.

Same issue. with radio ver. 2.12.50.02_2.
Signal seems solid on WinMo but on Android Bangsters 1.3a it jumps sometimes to Edge insted of Hsdpa. it depends on where I am. Conn-type-RMNET - PPP does not work for me.
The bottom line the signal is beter on WinMo. Hope this will be solved on next build.
I concur... I just recently started using Android on my T-Mobile HD2 and can relate that the signal quality as well as data connection is sketchy at best. One second I'll have a full signal and the next I have none. Then once the signal comes back, any and all data services also don't work.
Using Darkstone V2 and Radio 2.12.50.2
Exactly the same for me which is a shame because its the only problem left I'm having. The signal is there and its strong then it disappears and just keeps running that cycle all the time.
O2 stock 172 Rom

Same here
Shubcraft 1.5 radio 2.11. sometimes it shows no signal, how ever i dont know if it is just the software or actually the phone does not have signal.
Same on froyostone + 2.12 radio.
changed to mdeejay Froyo Sense + 2.11 radio
no more "no signal every 2 min, gonna smash my phone on the floor" for me.

Let me test mdeejay's build, let's see if its better.
I have had the same problem, so i downloaded the "mdeejay_froyo_sense_v1.5_NOAXI " build, copied "rootfs.img" to my Andrid folder, restarted, and now it seems to not loose the signal at all. Full / almost full signal all the time.
I also tried to use "zImage" from the mdeejay-build. It also worked, but WiFi would not start at all. Just said "Fail", so i switched back
Not sure if this works for everyone, but it sure is worth a try...

in settings under phone/cell standby what percent do you have without a signal? Mine is usually really high 50-80%. I've been able to pull 32 hrs out of a single charge when its on the lower end.

Whenever you switch your zImage you have to also change your bcm4329 module, if not Wifi will not work.
I think we really need an exploration in radios in general. Pick a random set of builds and everyone switch out radios to see how connection goes. I live in a city that has the HSPA+ from T-Mobile and there are times I can't get voice to work on Miri 6.5/Bangers 1.3/2.12 (the latest) radio.
I am using chuckydriod with radio 2.12 and android build hyperdriod 1.2 using latest michyprima R11 kernal with axi scaling.
I have excellent radio performance in the following modes.
GSM only
Wcdma only
Dual mode rarely switches to GSM even when wcdma is dropping data connections in high GSM signal areas wich is a bug in my opinion.

Downloaded the Desire HD beta2 Android and i use the "rootfs" from that build...
Have not had any "zero-drops" at all, and i have signal in some bad areas where i had nothing before...
facing this problem too
using hyperdroid 1.5 and 2.12.50.02
I upgrade my radio to the newest one 2.14 on meedj's evo sense warm 1.0 thinking that it would help my phone signal, but it didn't help. Then i started messing around with my "network settings" and to my surprised it seemed to help. My cell signal still fluctuate but it never reaches "no bar".
Here's what I did:
Go to seetings, then wireless & network, mobile networks, network operators, then wait until you get 4 or 5 signal bars and click on "select automactically". I don't know what it does but it helps me and I hope it helps you too.
Note: you can also select "search network" and manually add your network in, it doesn't hurt trying. [/COLOR]
Let me know if this works for you.

Bad signal reception occur on most of the Android Build

Hi , I m having bad signal reception on most of the android build , sometime phone signal disconnected unexpectedly , sometime no signal . But the same issue does not occur when using wm 6.5 at the exact same location.
Tried radio 2.12 and 2.14 , the issue still the same .
try switch to "GSM only" network (2G)
which builds? are they RMNET or PPP. Ive noticed that shrubcraft PPP build does this in areas of poor 3g signal.
PPP builds are known to be a bit flaky which switching between 2g and 3g.
It hapopens to me in a couple areas of work where signal is weak, it will get a few bars hsdpa, loose it, no signal, then go onto gprs, and repeat. its annoying.
Try using RMNET version, tends to be moire reliable.
Same here... it is same on ppp amd rmnet.. in areas where i had full 3g, i have only edge, sometimes weak 3g... i think it is because kernel undervolting i will try normal volted kernel...

running bangster 1.4, tried rmnet and ppp, axi, noaxi and evo, problem still persist.
i m not talking about the 2g or 3g those data conmectivity. the problem is there for only gsm signal.
tried others build, same problem.
bad reception is now on wm rom too.. i`m going to try another wm rom, if problem will be still there, device is going to repair centre.. hope it will be ok than...
my signal is fine but it disconnects from the internet randomly on both ppp and rmnet
It's definitely (for me at least) an Android only problem. On Winmo I get perfect totally stable 3G performance It is THE biggest limitation of Android on HD2 at the moment.

EXACTLY the same issue here!
I was on 2.12 and i installed yesterday 2.14 and got the same problem in android!
The signal disconnected in the middle of the city!!!
I had to switch "ON" the airplane mode and then "OFF" to get it back!
That's disappointing...
Same thing for me! I want definitely abandon wm but so is not possible! Is strange than other people do not report this problem!
+1 from me, bad reception in android too. Had to switch to gsm only mode.
Yeah it gets pretty bad sometimes... needs to be fixed...
Did any developer know the reason of causing no signal sometime even outdoor with full signal on anther phone? This is the main reason why i m still keep away my HD2 from android build.
my boss said why my phone always unreachable LOL

how to keep on 2G ?

I tried as much builds and radios as I can and I couldn't figure it out. There is a setting for selecting the network band and I want to use 2G (GSM Only) to save battery as I don't use MMS a lot and 2G speed is enough for me most of time.
No matter the selection, it's always on HSDPA (3.5G) and this drains a lot of the battery.
My current setup is:
WM Miri V22 bottom start
Radio 2.15
Android: CoreDriod 0.5 (I like its RMNET connection cause it's the only stable one).
any advice ?
P.S: Sorry if this is answered somewhere but I searched a lot before asking
Turn off the mobile internet?
I had this problem yesterday and some one helped me
Download a program called secret phone settibfv. From there go to the phone and put it 2g . This time it will stick

HD2 Europe mobile reception problems

Hey guys,
i have constant battles with my HD2. I'm running Android not Winmobile but this is a winmobile problem. The mobile reception and logically because of that APN is also not workin properly.
Example: I'm at home and have full mobile-reception and internet is working flawlessly. One second later nothings workin... The reception display shows 4/4 lines and one second later 0/4. But i didn't move.. Same with WLAN and APN..
I tried different Radio Roms and Roms (chucky droid rom, starbase clean rom, etc..)
Same problem here.
Any ideas ?
damn... wanted to post that on HD2 General Forum, not in Android...
Can some admin pls switch this into the right one ?
thx
i actually encountered data drop s over 3g even on winmo, signal drops like yoyo
lately, also while in Android.
using radio 2.15 and vbn rom.
