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.

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.

Pure gold
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. 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.
hi im using android at moment with radio 2.14.50 and when i at work when signal is low when using phone and surfing the net through 3g the phone gets really hot and freezes did it few times on winmo just woundering is it the radio that could be the problem
Changing the radio ROM could give you better signal. You have to play around with them to see which one works best in your work area.
For the freezing problem, it might be Android ROM related. Does this happen even when you have a good signal and surf the net on the phone?
I flashed my TMO HD2 to the below ROM for about a month.
imilka's Gingerbread Sense v05 [Des HD][Sense 2.1][K:raf1.9OC]
The internet / data connectivity was working fine since I flashed it. However, it started to have a problem several days ago. Although my phone showed the icon for HSPA with good signal, it failed to connect to internet 10 minutes after in use. I stopped and restarted Mobile Networks, it would work for another 10 minutes and down again. I also tried to reboot the phone, but the same issue recurred.
Any suggestion that can remedy the issues? Thanks.
try a different rom and see if it does it then
Hey,
I've recently encountered a major issue in all (that I tested) ICS and JB roms for HD2. When I boot up my phone with mobile data turned on it works fine and without problems. Problems start when it gets disconnected (because of poor signal or connecting by WiFi) it just can't reconnect. Phone calls and sms works but the only way to get back mobile data connection is to reboot my phone. Pretty annoying...
It does not happen on GB/Froyo roms and it doesn't happen in any Windows rom. I've already tried a few different radios, but nothing changed.
I'm using CLK (also tried few different versions), clockworkmod touch recovery and latest JB Paranoid Android (2.13b). Tried installing it with PPP (problem as above) and with RMNET (data not working at all, but CLK doesn't support it, so it's not a suprise).
Any clues how to get it to work?
PS
I think the problem may be related to my operator (T-Mobile Poland) because other HD2 with Orange card works without problems.
If it's this big of a deal for you, switch to magldr. Sounds exactly like ppp data drops.

I thought so, I'll propably do that, only thing that holds me back is that I can't charge my phone when it's off with magldr ;(
No other solution?
Order one of those external battery chargers from ebay. They're cheap. Or just don't turn off the phone
