Hello there folks,
My girlfriend has this fancy looking (not anymore) legend, She's bought it outright from vodafone australia and has had this problem of WIFI disconnected error eversince. I thought i'm the brightest of sparks around and thought a rom update would fix it. Apparently I was wrong. I have rooted the phone and got this custom rom on it, but it doesn't solve the problem. She doesn't have a data plan and wifi is her only way to use the internet on her phone. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
If not the last resort is of unrooting the phone and putting the stock ROM back on, but I wonder if they would be able to assess the same and would render the warranty as VOID or something.
Any help - hopefully to fix the WIFI issue would be much appreciated.
If not that, any other suggestions?
Does the disconnection problem occur on all routers?
Also can you detail exactly what you mean by wi-fi disconnected error. Does it just drop all the time or do you get an actual error?
As to the warranty, I just got mine back from the repairer for a problem I had with the USB. I've flashed many, many roms on this phone and the repairer either didn't pick up on it or didn't care. Of course, I flashed it back to stock before handing it in.
Having said that, if the warranty is voided, its voided, can't hurt to try and return the phone and see what happens. It won't cost you anything but postage if they reject it.
Also post your log output for folk to look at, it will help in diagnosing the problem.

I have a tmobile wing and I had it for awhile but just started using it again recently but when i put my sim card in the phone and turn it on it just keeps saying Searching...
I get service for like 2 minutes then it would just go away. This would happen when I leave the sim in the phone, it would get service once in awhile, like for 2mins every 2-3 hours, but never consistently.
My sim card works perfectly on other phones and when i insert a friends sim card into the wing it still has the same problem, it keeps saying Searching... I don't think its a problem with the sim card since it works fine with other phones.
I tried soft reseting it and hard reseting it but it still seemed to have the same problem. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be or what I can do to try and fix it?
what radio rom does your phone have and what rom are you using?
you can check your radio rom by going to settings>system>about ( i believe). If not that, then settings>system> device info.
also, if you don't know what rom you're using, it's probably the stock rom.
It might also be that the particular spot you are in is just unlucky for reception and that other phones have better reception by design.

It says Radio version: 02.83.90
And i believe it is the stock rom since i never changed it or anything. and I doubt it is the area because I tried using it in several other towns.
anyone have any idea what could be wrong?
p4350
well on my p4350 over the past 2 weeks i have been receiving little signal like every 5 - 7 hours i mite get it for a bit but only for a sort time. i was wondering if it needs its radio updating?
any help?
Hi, I just want to share my story. maybe it could help you out.I had a wing for more than a year now. recently it had the same problem. it just don't have any signal at all, just keep searching. I tried what you did before. hardreset, softreset, and update the firmware. Nothing helps. since my phone is out of warranty, i can't send it to t-mobile. So i went to a local repair shop. They told me it could be hardware problem. I paid $50 to get it repair and no problem since. I don't know what they did, maybe replacing something inside. So don't just look at the software side, it could be hardware problem.
I have the exact same problem, and it's really pissing me off.

what kind of repair shop was it?
Hey there, i have a problem with my HTC Magic. I have had it in about 2 months, where it worked fine. Suddenly it couldn't get a signal to a network. When i try to connect to my network it says "Your sim-card dosen't allow a connection to this network" can anyone help me out with this? I've got HTC Sense on my mobile.
Same issue with stock Donut
I too experienced the same problem when traveling through Atlanta airport. This was a stock MyTouch Donut. After arriving at my next destination my phone worked once again.
I have initially rooted my phone today with Cyanogen latest. I am looking for the fastest ROM I can find without all the bells and whistles. After finding said such, I will be updating my radio.
I have had other strange issues with the radio on this phone. T-MO support suggested replacing the phone. However, I don't think the phone is the problem it's their lack of bug fixes.
I've got the same problem, 2 different sim cards on 2 different networks and both are showing no service and not finding any networks, but both are working in my old Nokia E65. Strangest thing, I checked my email over 3G earlier today, an hour later no service and has not changed since. Tried everything I can think of; nandroid restore, hard reset, safe mode, checked the testing menu. Only thing I haven't done is unroot and return to stock. It's funny, I always knew something would go wrong with this phone... Womans intuition maybe?
Willing to try anything that anyone has to suggest so I don't have to send it back to vodafone!
yea, i've tried everything too, at can't get it to work! - hope someone got a solution to this!

Well I called HTC and got the name of their authorised repairer in Australia (currently on an extended holiday visiting family here), so I unrooted and returned to stock but the issues haven't changed, so I guess we can nail down that it has nothing to do with the rom itself. The repairer did hint at a motherboard issue, but as I was playing the dumb blonde at the time I didn't push it too far until I send it off. It's just painful, I've searched and searched for a fix but most people seem to be able to find a network after a reboot or by simply waiting it out. 24 hours without my Magic being able to function in it's primary use, as a phone. This is very very poor.
I have had the exact same problem, so I unrooted and all. send it in for repairs. and all Vodacom(South Africa) told me was that they replaced the main board.luckly its covered by the warrenty. hope it helps..

Thank awesome to hear its a simple fix, but not so great that it's not a totally rare incident. I'm waiting til all the fuss of Easter is over to send my poor baby off to be fixed, but in the mean time I've bought a Hero so I'll never have to go back to my Nokia E65 again. I'm wondering, as there are other Magic owners with the same problem, is this an issue with just the Magic, or all HTC devices?
hey i still have the same prob with my 32b
i will do a radio update,
will see if it's fixed then,
if not i try to unroot
This has to be almost a year old lol.

Hi,
Couple of days back while on call my phone brightness blinked couple of times and then went dim forever. Since then i have tried couple of DEV roms and nothing helped. No matter what i do with brightness it always stays at low level. I can't even seen anything outside in bright light. To use my phone i have to find a dark place..
Does anybody had this problem. Looks like something went wrong with hardware. This happened when I was using Sense Hero ROM.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
try to flash the offical RUU and root again maybe..
try reflashing the radio and maybe the spl?
throw on the power control widget, it can turn your brightness back on.
Thanks for answers guys.
I can not find the original Canadian RUU anywhere. It was
Build number: 2.73.661.46
I should try to re flash radio. I will let you know the results.
what is spl?
I tried brightness control widget. i t doesn't work.
Thanks
Are you sure the led backlight aren't just damaged or something?
I find it very strange that you're not able to change them. Especially cause you tried different roms, since that should reverse al previous settings making it impossible to be a software error?
I tried latest radio and new rom [ROM][2.1 Sense] BeHero+ v1.2. No change. still the same. i can not change the brightness.
Any more tips ???
Has the warranty period expired? If not, flash official ruu and run to the closest htc maintenance shop :/
I got it around December 2009. so warranty is still there. I am in canada and the phone was offered by Telus. I bought it from telus and unlocked to use it with my provider which is Bell.
I called HTC and they told me to go to telus but telus said warranty is void because i unlocked it.
I am stuck.
I can try calling HTC directly again.
On more problem is that i can't find the original RUU which was installed on the phone when i bought it.
Thanks

Dunno if that does any good to install original RUU. Telus has probably flagged your phone as warranty void if they already used that as excuse.
Changing screen may fix the problem, you should ask someone that can fix it to take a look.
I did try to replace the phone with Telus weeks after i got it because the GPS for the phone never worked and they check my phone in there system and told me that i have unlocked the phone and warranty is void now.
So i went ahead and rooted the phone and tried couple of community ROMS to see if GPS works properly .. but none worked.
So i was living with this phone without proper GPS working... mostly relying on cellular AGPS find ..
But now with this brightness issue.. this phone is becoming useless.
I don't know how expensive it will be to replace the screen...
Thanks
I have flashed my three mobile to the latest .184 release, and just before doing this I used flashtools to make a backup. Somewhat stupidly I went ahead and flashed without checking if my backup actually works, I have checked since and it just tells me to unplug and turn on debugging etc (they are both on).
Has anybody got an original three firmware they can upload in case I need it - since doing this I have also noticed problems with wifi tethering so it might need sending back
If no one can help (if anyone can it would still be appreciated), can anyone tell me if it will cause me problems getting my phone repaired.
Although I originally flashed the .184 update uploaded here I have since run a SEUS reinstall so technically the firmware is 100% official SE generic firmware. Will this mean it will be fixed as all they will know is that it is their software on.
I had some worrying news when I asked in a carphone warehouse repair center today, the engineer (I have doubts they actually hire engineers) told me if he finds I have changed the software he is required to inform SE themselves the phone details and have the warranty voided. This was after actually telling him that I had changed it though, and he might have been thinking custom - I also didn't explain the SEUS update that means it is completely official.
Anyone any advice? I definitely have a hardware problem that needs fixing so I am desperate now.
from what I remember the only difference was the bootscreen and the three app and a couple of games I doubt you will have any major problems. I'm pretty sure the main thing they didn't like with debranded firmware was you could set it to just use the Orange network which cost them more money, but now they are 3G only...
With WIFI tethering try changing the name of the hotspot I couldn't get it to connect at all, changed the name and it worked fine.
Thanks for the suggestion, I just tried renaming but it has the same problem. I can connect for 2 minutes then it stops working and needs turning off and on. It is identicle no matter what I do; after using SEUS or restaring the phone. I am pretty sure it is a hardware problem now (it seems unlikely to be software otherwise more people would have this exact problem). I'm also having problem connecting to wifi while out that I didn't notice untill I started using it more.
Ill give it a couple of days to see if anyone gets hold of the three firmware just in case (I don't want to give them a reason to try and screw me around, I like the plan and unlimited internet but their CS is abysmal sometimes), I will just go for it and send it back if not.
How long have you had the phone? I got mine switched over about a week after I got it because the camera had a problem. I have actually in general had some great customer service from them over the last couple of years they even just refunded me £40 of internet data usage because they did not explain it to me properly (One plan didn't start for a month apparently :/).
Good luck though hopefully they will just swap it over if they have some in stock. Make sure you take everything you got back in order to get an exchange.
Just over a week - got it on the 26th. The problem is I upgraded over the phone and had some problems then with overcharging, this is when I found out that the shops don't like dealing with phone customers and would not help me at all. Maybe they will be more accommodating for a hardware problem - or maybe if I refuse to leave until they behave like I am the one paying £40 a month to the company whos shop I am standing in I will get some service (Im actually getting prematurely angry lol).
Ill give the store a go first if I can't find the fw soon.
Thanks,
I bought an unlocked h910 on ebay a little while ago and rooted it the day I got it by following the typical root guide. Everything seemed to go smoothly with rooting, and I have SuperSU and the stock rom. I have had terrible connection problems ever since rooting. I never actually used the phone with a sim before rooting it (my other device takes micro sim and I didn't have an adapter, do I got a nano and activated over the phone after rooting). As soon as I put the activated nano sim in, the phone would lock onto a tower and continuously drop and say "No service", then lock again, repeat repeat.
After a little while, the phone magically fixed itself and was working OK for the rest of the day. Then the next day, I started getting the No service problem again. I tried lineageOS with the werewolf kernel, but that didn't quite work out due to crashes. So, I figured I would do the typical restore procedure from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/stock-att-h910-stock-recovery-boot-image-t3528060
That went through OK, and I figured everything was fixed, but then I started getting the No service problem again after a little while :crying::crying::crying:. At that point, I decided to do some reading and it appears that some folks with unrooted phones have had connection issues on the v20 that they got warranty replacements for. I am concerned that there may be a hardware problem that is causing the No service issue if other people have experienced this too. Unfortunately, since I never used the phone with a sim before rooting it, I don't know if it was working correctly before rooting or not. I can say that it was sold as "new, sealed box", however, with original packaging.
Now I am at a bit of an impasse. The service on the phone works sometimes, but is not reliable enough to be usable, so I went back to my other device and have had the v20 sitting around doing nothing for a bit now. I am tempted to send it back to LG for repair, but it has clearly been rooted already and since there are no kdz files available for the h910, there is no way to revert to complete stock. So I suppose I am hoping someone can give me some ideas here. I have been trying to figure this out for weeks now and haven't had much luck. As I see it, here are the options:
1. Perhaps this is a software problem that someone on the forums knows how to fix, which would be ideal. I have seen some threads regarding modem settings, but none of the ones I have seen apply to the h910.
2. If this is a HW problem, I could send the phone back to LG as rooted and effectively guarantee I will have to pay the repair cost. I have no idea how much that will be, but I would like to avoid it.
3. I could intentionally brick the phone and send it back claiming that it bricked itself. Seems ridiculous, but I have heard of this before.
4. Sell the phone as rooted. Haven't had much luck in that regard yet.
I must say that having a very unreliable phone has not been a pleasant experience so far. Can anyone offer some advice?
Does anyone know if LG is going to make a fuss about the phone being rooted if I send it back to repair? Can they at least reflash it to stock kdz for free?
