3g to 1x issue - Fascinate General

Hi, i was just wondering if anyone was having problems wit 3g staying consistently on? it keeps switching to 1x and stays there most of the time if not the whole time... I updated to DL30 with DL09 modem on 1230 non voodoo by adyl which works great..is this a known issue if so is there a fix? thank you in advance

I'm still on DL09 (stock rom) and still having problems from 3g to 1x. I noticed the problem seemed to happen when the service in the area wasn't all that great. But what's unusual, my friend has a htc eris and it stayed locked on the 3g no matter the reception...

This phone just has poor signal compared to others I've had and did you say your overclocked on dl30? I didn't think that was possible yet

well i was on dl01 before and i had to switch to DL09 to be able to get to DL30.. i followed adrynalyne step in installing.. i installed the radio/then the modem/then the kernel because he indicated that you should install all 3 so you wont have anything stop working.. at that point i dled DL30 and flashed it with cwm.. could that be the problem since i installed the non-voodoo kernel? or when i flashed DL30 that didnt matter anymore?

I am having the same exact issue. Before I flashed I usually had 1 or 2 bars at work locked in at 3g, now its always 1 or 2 bars locked in at 1x. Sucks. But everything else is great.

What kernel are you using again? It looks like you're using a kernel built for 2.1 on 2.2, which could very well be part of your problem. There are very few kernels that are available for DL30 at this point. There is the stock kernel, stock kernel with boot animation support, and stock kernel that supports cwm recovery.

mmm around 3:50pm, 3g just started working again.. i heard from someone close to me say that verizon was messing with some towers.. i guess it was around this area.. or something.. hope it doesnt happen again... fingers crossed!

Yeah, I was having the same issue yesterday. Verizon is sending a new phone. Then this afternoon it started working again...whoops.

The fascinate has a poor CDMA antenna compared to other phones.
Htc phones and motorola phones get 10-15dbm higher reception at all times.
Because of this, your reception suffers (obviously).
Sometimes when a text or call happens, it'll switch to 1x and get stuck. Why?
Poor reception.
I have 3g in my office at work about 30% of the time. My olds HTC eris? 100%. It's how the phone is built and cannot be changed.
It's one of it's shortcomings, imo.

Possible 3g to 1x fix
I do agree with some of the other posters here about the fascinate service issues and after tearing my Incredible, Droid 1 and Fascinate apart I will say the Saw Filter and PA are different manufactures as one would come to expect between different manufacturers.
Long story short,
Try different PRL's
Verizon has a plethora of different PRL's try some of these.
You will need QPST to update PRL get it at
htr. thecamson. com/hacktherazr.com-QPST_2.7_b215.exe
To enable USB Modem mode on the Fascinate type **USBUI then select modem on both options
To update PRL plug in your fasciante after the 2 above steps then
1. select QPST Configuration/Add new port if you don't see a phone connected (its connected if it says SURF and some numbers.)
2. Start Clients/ Service Programming
3. Click OK/ click Roam/ Browse to any of the attached PRL files/ Click Write To Phone (Your SPC or MSL is 000000)
4. DONE!!
Hope this works for you guys. I personally run 65145 and I have constant 3g. I dont know if it will be the same but give it a try!!

Nexus Radio = crap after update?

Any of you guys experiencing **** signal now? I sit in my room and i can't even get calls anymore. It show's it has service but i get no calls coming through. Sometimes i just get no service, whereas before the update I always got service here.. Also, after school where i barely get service inside, and i go outside i have to reboot the phone to get signal again.. wtf?
Any fixes?
Unfortunately, I'm getting the same experience. Already filed a ticket with T-Mo...they're going to look into it. This is ridiculous.
+1
Gotta agree with you here. I've noticed my phone spending more time with a big fat 'G' in the bar then the '3G'. Not very happy about it and wish I could just flash the original stock ROM back.
Where do u file a ticket
No problems here in the UK. Maybe its related to the 1700Mhz frequency. Is it the same in both 2g and 3g? compared to the same before in 2g and 3g of course.
My signal is just fine after the OTA... actually, get 1 more bar at my Dad's than I did before... his house is my true testing grounds since it is an old house with metal in the exterior walls at a low point on top of a hill... nobody gets coverage at his place minus 1-2 bars by the door, and 2-3 outside.
With my G1 I got 0-2 in the house, and my N1 gets 1-3 depending on where I am at. Better than any phone I have ever tested there, including BB's, WM's, and plain Janes.
do you have any custom radio settings or anything?
Same problem here. Really getting pissed off now.
Same here, posted about it earlier... I emailed google, no word yet!
since the update im always on 3g / H
one more note, I have never dropped a call on my BB's in the past and it happens all the time on my N1... if the damn screen wasnt so pretty I'd say f it!
I'm having the same issues but I am using AT&T. Even though I have full bars on Edge, I can't make nor receive calls or texts more often than before.
No issues after the ota, and still getting 3G/H 4bars most of the time. One wierd thing after the ota, is when I run speedtest, the nearest Server it locks on is 1,586 miles away It use to be in Las Vegas hood!
No decrease in network connectivity here... I'm actually seeing better 3G connectivity than before the update.
same here... and wouldnt you think full edge would mean 3g service? the radio in this phone is all f'd up
What method did you guys use to update? Did you remove the battery at all during the update, or did you let it go until it rebooted on its own?
Maybe try reflashing the update manually, really easy to do with or with out an unlocked boatloader and root. I am thinking you might have a bad flashing of the radio ROM or incomplete update. The radio ROM update has done wonders for so many, and was heavily tested for a couple weeks by Google, so I highly doubt it would be a step backwards... only way I could see the update itself being the 'root' of the problem is if it isn't compatiable with the broadcast radios being used in your area on the towers.
my nexus is MUCH better after the update. MUCH BETTER.
I did it manually step for step it went along with the directions and discription

Data keeps randomly disconnecting; radio update needed??

It's been happening for a while now. I can have full signal on H, then suddenly no H, E, or G. Data does not reconnect automatically; I have to force it by switching Airplane mode On/Off. I saw something in the forums about a radio update, but I heard that removes ability to change permroot/S-OFF. Please help me clarify this, and if there is an update, is it safe and should I install it.
Stock ROM, temp-rooted with Visionary and permrooted with HBOOT/WPTHIS_OTA method. Kernel is the one linked in my signature thing [1497KHz] and pushed Wi-Fi module. Hopefully that's enough info. Let me know if you need my SSN# ...lol

Don't see how that correlates with my problem? Still or moving, it happens randomly.

I have been experiencing this exact problem quite often over the last two weeks. I am using CM 6.1.1 in Chicago.
same situation happens to me...nvr seem to have a solid 3g/H in my house. While my blackberry will be having 3G all day. The g2 will fluctuates from H -> G -> E and stays like that. So annoying that ruins the experience of having a good data phone.
Same problem here! It happens from time to time, I have to switch off/on data to get reconnected.
Also happens when I turn off wifi after a long period of use, It won't reconnect to the carrier's data.
I had this when I switched over to CM 6.1.1. I thought it was CM so I flashed my backup, then decided to try it again. The problem I found was Pershoot's kernel. My data connection would drop and come up on it's own and was happening while I was using data. I've been running CM 6.1.1 with it's kernel and haven't had this problem since.
Same here running latest Virt (tmous g2) and I *think* it's running a pershoot hybrid.
I have never run Pershoot's kernel, and have always used the kernel included with CM. It seems to be recent (last two weeks) problem for me. The phone cycles from 3G->G->E->3G->H. The worst, however, is when it shows 3G->H but cannot connect to anything. The only solution is to turn off the data and let it reconnect.
I think it might actually be network related and not hardware / software. Maybe too many new phones activated around the Holidays? The reason I think this is that my Nexus One keeps having similar problems --- even on different ROMs.
Could be either?
I used to be on Mobilicity in Canada and experienced this (random disconnects from data several times a day, wouldn't automatically reconnect), switched to Wind and I haven't had this problem.
Stock G2 ROM, unlocked, s-off, su visionary
Data Problems...
Ignore my signature I'm currently on G2.
I think the problem you all have might be a TMobile problem.
I live in Madison TN / Nashville TN and I been having that data drop problem for going on a year now. Happended on every phone I been on Mytouch 3G Mytouch Slide Samsung Vibrant HD2 and now I'm on the G2 that I bought yesterday. Also had the same problem on a Nexus one.
The situation was that I will have all my bars and a 3G/H symbole and my connection would just fall a sleep with the 3G still in corner. Put phone in airplane mode and take it out airplane mode and my downloads will resume.
This process would happen after 15 min or 20 min of constant data.
2 days ago I started calling tmobile to get this fixed. Told them I didn't have this problem on ATT and Verizon so they put in a service ticket with the engineers and they claim it should be resolved in the next couple days if mot to give them a call back and to forward my call straight to level 2 tech support.
More people should complain about it.
That happended across atleast 5 different pda phones and 3 different sim cards. Yeah some of the phones had custom roms but each phone shouldn't have the same symptons.
The cellular towers in my area must really have a problem and I'm expecting a credit on my account lol.
PS connection is perfect on Edge though... Just slow...
Could it be because of overclock?? What if a certain CPU speed doesn't play well with the radio?? Just a thought...

For that to happen to me on 5 different devices that will tell you that CPU speed has nothing to do with it. Best I can say is to reset your phone to stock and give TMobile a call and let them know the situation. If you dont, nothing will be done about it.
I say to return to stock because if you dont, there reps will try there best to put the blame on you and the custom software. But from my experience being on Nexus One / MyTouch Slide / MyTouch 3G / Samsung Vibrant / HD2 / G2 all having the same exact problem????
Yeah the problem is on TMobile end...

Is it the same EXACT problem I'm describing? Or are you talking about general reception? Because some people on here with different ROMs (or radios) have mixed results. I'm in an HSPA+ area with full signal usually, but I keep having my data disconnecting. After a while it comes back, but I don't like to wait that long. I just switch radio on/off. :/

Yeah it sounds like the same exact problem to me which I had on all those other phones too. Im like you I dont feel like waiting so I switch to airplane mode on and off and the data comes back.
Or Il just drop to 2G Edge only and the connection is stable just slow though.
I couldnt find a solution online so now I got tmobile reps in the picture to get this resolved for my area though.
Count me in. I HAD a BB 9700 and it behaved the same way you guys are talking about but i didn't have to set it to airplane mode to reset the connection. I do however have to restart my G2 sometimes to get it connects to Tmobile network again. It is such an inconvenience.
I'm on stock rooted rom by fastludeh.

Yeah TMobile need to get this fixed. I plan on giving them a call back on Monday or Tuesday since my 3G connection still continues to drop.
Im currently on ALL stock on the G2. Havnt did any modifications yet.
Would changing the radio help? i see there is other radio firmware available...not sure if that will do anything for our phones. Currently sticking to my 9700 for now until this issue is fixed or if i get bored of the 9700 and jump back to the G2

Na I dont think changing radio will work. I tried multiple radios and custom roms on the HD2 and same situation over and over.
Having problems with everything connection on my g2 it started happening like two weeks ago. Random no service for like a minute then full bars and hspa never use to do it but now it does frustrating as heck oh on a stock froyo too wtf

Samsung I9000M 2.2NL Help..

I hate to post a thread like this, but after searching and basically pulling my hair out, I've decided it was time.
Anyway, as title suggests I have an I9000m with the 2.2 UGJL2 *Typo in title, sorry!!*
Heres the problem with the phone...
Its a bell phone, unrooted or modified. Its running 2.2 JL2. When used with an bell SIM it will dial out and receive, receive texts, send them. However it won't receive picture messages, well it receives but just says downloading (and the plan does have it)
It also won't connect to the mobile network. If I manually set APN it does, but then its ability to call out is brutal for some reason. Also I threw my virgin mobile sim in it, set apn and it would go onto the internet no problem, but calling and text suffered big time.
It also seems to lag huge all the time, it'll freeze, you hit the center button and it just takes screen shots.
Its a refurb phone if that helps. Its actually my gfs phone, I picked her up a HTC incredible S... she says if we can fix the old one she kinda wants the samsung back.
Any help would be appreciated.
Mike
Have you tried a factory reset to see if that fixes the problems? That would be the best starting point.

Been done twice. Also have had two new sim cards installed aswell. I figured before I tried rooting it would be best to consult you guys. Is it possible that there's a hardware issue?
Thanks
Mike
Based on your description it doesn't sound like a hardware issue, but no way to know for sure.
I think your next best bet would be to try reflashing JL2 (or KC1 even) using Odin; as long as you can get to download mode via the 3 button combo. If you're still having problems after that then probably it is hardware.

Got er fixed. After I put the phone down and enjoyed a beer for a bit, I went back and basically wiped the phone clean, I think I did it 3 times in a row, using both the 3 button download mode one, and two different ones than can be accessed via the dialer. After doing that I retryed the APN settings again and ALAS it finally worked correctly. Its now connecting to the HSDPA and is also downloading MMS messages like it should. Its also yet to lag again. I'm assuming it was an app that was causing that aswell.
Regardless, the misses is happy, I might keep the Incredible S (currently have the HTC legend, lovely phone, but it does feel under powered compared to the I9000 and the Incredible S)
Sometimes I think a guy has gotta step back and relax for a minute lol!!
Thanks again

Help needed identifying a problem with my network

Hello,
Im having a most frustrating problem. Im not sure if its a modem issue or a hardware issue. What I am experiencing is this:
The phone shows no bars, but sees a carrier. This happened after flashing back to a stock GB rom after using a CM9 rom. I can receive texts and calls sometimes, but its not consistant. If it shows no bars I can get a call, if it shows one or two bars i cant, but get the missed call notification. I have done factory resets, cache clears. Its really making my phone unusable. I went back to using my 3 yr old Ericsson till I can get this figured out. Im hoping that someone has some advice for me as Im out of ideas. Ive tried to flash just the modem but no luck. Went from CyanTablet to xxjvt 2.3.5, rooted it so I could get the modded recovery. The pins for the where the sim card make contact are damaged but it has worked for the last 2 months that way. I really love this phone and dont want to replace it yet.

test with a network booster to increase signal strength, free from google but if you bring phone to another location, do you get a better signal? meaning location matters, if you far from your network cell site, its more difficult
Ill try the network booster. All of my old phones pick up 5 bars, I live about 1/4 mile from the cell tower. I have tried another flash with 2.3.3, repartitioned this time. Once its back up and running Ill get back to you. Is there anything else Im missing? Well I think its dead. Ive tried all my coworkers sims in it, nothing came up. It says no service permanently now, guess its a 4" tablet.
Try another radio, i had the same problem wit JW4 radio,flashed JVT and problem solved.
Some radios are better than others in different locations, it also depends on rom used.
I tried a completely new build, flashed a new modem, then flashed xxjvu. Still nothing, going to call Samsung and see if I can get the warranty to fix it. 2.3.6 tho has 364 megs of ram and has almost 200 free, thats cool. zsjw4 has a new look to it.

Full signal - no data

Whenever I am at a sporting event (College basketball or hockey) I have FULL 4G signal and no data what so ever.. My gf also has the exact same problem when she is at work everyday downtown Des Moines, IA. We both can send and receive calls and texts, also mobile networks are connected. Wifi works just fine. Have tried the obvious restart, airplane mode, turned phone off and pull batt and let sit and then boot to reset the prls. When we both leave those areas everything works fine.
Yes, I have a feeling this has something to do with the over abundance of people on the network but I do have several people that have no problem with other android and ios devices with verizon that have no problem. They might be slow but at least can use data. Quite embarrassing when I am knocking on ios crap and they show me up when something simple needs to be looked up (face-palm)
Both same stuff and settings:
1. Running Hyper Drive Rls 6
2. MJE
3. Global network with roaming enabled
4. Probably others that I cant recall at the moment.
If anyone has any insight it would be greatly appreciated or maybe same related problem with a fix would be awesome! Thanks!

For what it's worth, this kind of thing happens to me on my daily commute on the train and I always refer to it as a "fake signal".
If you think it's something with your device and not the network congestion like you mentioned, I would try to reset the APN(access point names) to default to be safe, can't hurt to try.

I suspect that it could be that you're not getting a LTE signal at all after re-reading your first post.
What happens if you change that Global option to LTE/CDMA only?
Do you get a LTE signal?
How are the speeds via tests?

Hey @stalls, got your PM & no, unfortunately I don't know of any modem zips... Might be that safestrap isn't friendly about flashing modems, not sure though, just know there are none to be found or I'd have them in my mirror thread for sure.
It seems you've tried most of what I'd suggest. I'm in Des Moines, as you know, and I'm running the MJE modem with no problems to date. There's a possibility your device might just like a different modem better, but it's unlikely as most differentiation amongst modems is location based.
I'm also running stock rooted with xposed modules for my customization, so that's a pretty significant difference from a custom rom. I'd highly recommend running stock for a day or two and seeing what your results are like (maybe on your ladies phone as she can test more easily being that her trouble spot is work, not having to get amongst a big crowd like you.)
To do this without losing everything just make a Nandroid of your current setup in safestrap & Odin the mje tar I have linked in my thread in my sig. All instructions & files needed are there. You can always just restore after a test period & be back where you were.
That leads me to my last question, have either of you ever Odined mje to get the updated firmware & kernel or did your guys phones come preloaded with mje? The reason I ask is if you got only part of the mje update it could be causing some issues.
Hope I've helped some.

Hey @stalls, got your PM & no, unfortunately I don't know of any modem zips... Might be that safestrap isn't friendly about flashing modems, not sure though, just know there are none to be found or I'd have them in my mirror thread for sure.
It seems you've tried most of what I'd suggest. I'm in Des Moines, as you know, and I'm running the MJE modem with no problems to date. There's a possibility your device might just like a different modem better, but it's unlikely as most differentiation amongst modems is location based.
I'm also running stock rooted with xposed modules for my customization, so that's a pretty significant difference from a custom rom.

Ya it seems to be only a problem in highly congested areas like work or a large game or concert. We both have updated the phones to MJE with the OTA update from the big red. I was gonna try and plan to set up a few slots for her and run maybe clean rom, baja, and stock and see how that goes.. Also leave her hyperdrive in the stock slot untouched (also backed up).
You don't happen to have a problem with downtown Des Moines. She happens to work at Nationwide. Maybe even in a crowded cell traffic area like a arena?
Just a lil update.. I had her try out clean rom at her work and it is just as bad. If it ever gets a connection while on 4G... Lol it had a Ping time of 808 and Download of .4 that is horrible!
Another update
Here is some speed tests at the Iowa State basketball game in Ames Iowa tonight.
First one is on 3G (I know it says 4G but the screen shot was after switching)
Second is 4G also the test stopped right there and wouldn't budge at all for over 5 mins so i took the screenshot
My gf's phone (not shown) was much much worse on ping time. 1900 - something MS.
Both on Hyperdrive ROM MJE Modem.
