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

hi. im using essential rom 1.7 and latest radio available, but where ewer i go wifi signal dont exeed 1 bar. in settings wifi is set to performance. what am i doing wrong? is there some other radio that i shoud use or what??
Not only WiFi is bad, the overall reception (GSM/GPRS/3G/HSDPA) with the TD2 is very bad!

maybe upgrade your radio? i would not say the TD2 is "very bad" but not as good as previous devices
im using 4.47.25.21 and its alot better,
Wifi of my device working fine. In my house if I stay in the room where is the router wifi I have four bars of signal, three or two bars in the others rooms depending on distance from router. The time to fix is always a few seconds.
For data/voice connection I set the band to GSM net, and not to 3G, because in this way I have a better duration for battery and a good costant reception. Furthermore, there is no excessive reduction of the speed of data connection.

My radio is 3.43.25.19 (ROM 1.39.404.4 NLD). I don't want to loose my warranty by installing unsupported ROM's or radio's.
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!

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.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
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.

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.
Hey guys,
i have constant battles with my HD2 running Android. 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 guess it's not a "build problem", cuz i had this with lots of builds. So it's maybe a windows mobile thing. I have flashed 2.12.50 radio and chucky droid rom.
I tried 2.14 but my conversational partners had very strong echos. (with MIUI-Build)
I searched the forum and googled but i didn't find any solution for this..
Really need this to be fixed.
thx bench

I don't know a lot about android. But i had similar "echo" problems when i used a TMOUS based rom. I use miris 1.80 based rom with 2.14 radio in the uk on vodafone with no problems.
Miri Rom Here: http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2520
Have you tried a RMNET based android build. The data connection with those is slower but generally more stable. I use ppp but do get the data drop off. but turning the mobile data off and turning back on again sorts the problem.
It would probably better to post such questions in the android general section.

Same problem here. Signal drops quite frequently and for now i like the sense builds which you cant switch to 2G (unless im missing something). With other builds if i switch to 2G its sort of fine but slow data connection.
Same here, I live in holland and use the 2.14 Radio. I don't have a data plan yet (the phone is brand new), so it doesn't really bother me.. yet
we really do need a fix for this
Is nobody havin an idea?

I´m having the same problem...anybody know a cure for this?
no problems here ... 2.10.5 radio
Same problem here,tryed different combo's with wm and Android,radio's etc......signal drops now and then.

Always signal drops here.. 35% of the time. Mesured with battery indicator.. only in Android not in winmo and I didnt find the right radio and rom for less drops.
Thats so strange. About every 10mins i have a totally data loss. Tried different radios and roms. Nothing helped. As i tried 2.14 i had strong echo issues.
i uploaded some screenshots. They're all taken at the same place. So you can see how strange these reception changes are...

Boy I'm glad to see this thread, I thought it was just me!
I am having exactly the same issue, and have done since using android builds. The only workaround I have is to switch on plane mode, and then switch it off again which seems to work for an hour or two. But then the signal goes all wonky again.
I wonder if this is also affecting the battery life. I'm sure I read somewhere once that loss of signal results in more battery use as the phone is constantly trying to locate signal.
I have tried a number of radio/rom combinations with no real change. As mentioned above, if I switch to 2G the signal seems more stable, but the data is unbearably slow.
I'm in the UK by the way.

I have the same problem. I might try the 10.2.5 radio as above?
I had this issue with Android that signal drops for no reason. The trick to my problem? Disable in the Netwok Mode "GSM/WCDMA Auto" and choose "GSM Only". Now the signal should work flawlessly without drops. It worked for me
Hi Guys I have a little a problem with all ROM that I tested (cotulla and Prj Clean and one another that I don't remember) and I don't found a way to solve it.
My data connection is unstable... Sometime work very good but in a few minute doesn't work even if the network coverage is high. When doesn't work I seen on display that only the "transmit arrow" below the "H or 3g" blink. Tha connection sometime restore it functionality.
With windows mobile everything work good.
I have:
HSPL 2.08
Radio 2.15.50.14 But I try also with other Radio
Vodafone ITA
Any advice?
thanks, I'm getting crazy

I wouldn't be so quick to say that RMNET is perfect as with me I find that it drops the connection a lot and often will not resolve a connection!
I haven't tried PPP since my last SD build so I can't tell if it's still as bad but it was quite bad back then.

Any advice? This morning I tried MDJ_FroYo_Revolution_v._2.3 data was working for 5 hours and then drop down... and now nothing or very very slow....
I have the same problem too using Hyperdroid and MDJ Gingerbread. It works fine for a day and the next day in the afternoon the data would be lost. I mean no data whatsoever, not data drops like in SD builds. I can't see any G/E/3G/H symbol.

Yeah that's been my experience too. In fact RMNET caused me to have so many screen freezes I had to revert back to PPP as the lesser of two evils. I guess this is the penalty for running Android on a non-native device I never experienced flawless data yet on any bulid be it SD, RAM whatever.

It's the only reason why I'm thinking about moving to a Nexus S - the data drops on this device are just not fun! I love my HD2 though, so I'll not sell it.
This problem has been here since day 1 with Android - but I'm not complaining as i haven't done any work with this, so I'll put up with what I'm given by the devs!
