3G not working ( intermitten )

Phone shows 3-4 bars of 3G and I get nothing but errors like , Page unavailable...this app needs data connection....etc. Sometimes if I disable mobile network and re-enable it it will work for a few minutes but then gone. Am I the only one ? I searched briefly . Nothing informative . Help please .

Call att and tell them to connect you to the specialist, i had the same problem and i was literally on the phone with him for 10 seconds and he fixed it

Sometimes it does similar to me. It will sit there and go from 3g to edge to 3g to edge. I've taken to just using 2g when I have wifi, then 3g when I want mobile data. Although now that I had the phone for a while, I kind of know where 3g is strong.

yep, i think cyanogen has lower wifi volts than stock so u get less range.
i made a barebones stripped ROM based on the newest tmo OTA, i made optimizations to get better battery life, and stripped tons out to get the most ram possible, and keep the ui fast and snappy.
my newest version 1.3, offers the best battery life in any rom that i have ever used, its super fast (no need for OC), offers the most free ram and is located here :

give it a try!

Ah nice will sure be giving it a try!

I have thought that CyanogenMod has a bit weaker wifi reception, but I believe it also suffers another bug: the wifi icon will often go dark even when you have a full signal... So I think looking at the icon can be deceiving. Mine will go dark, looking like a bad connection, but will indeed work just fine.

To add make sure the setting under Wireless Networks > Wi-Fi Settings > [menu] > Advanced > Wi-Fi Sleep Policy is at your preference for when the wifi turns off at screen sleep.

So nope still not fixed tried the from, same. any other ideas? Or there's any way to up the voltages ?

Random loss of reception?

Anyone experiencing this? Sometimes ill be on the internet for an hour then randomly my signal will drop and after a minute or so it will come back. Also if I haven't used my phone for awhile and right when I'm about to Google something the internet cuts off then comes back a minute later.
Im trying to figure out if its my phone or T-Mobile fault. Its not roms or radios because Ive tried a few different ones.

The op may not have answered his own question. I have similar issues with my phone. Found a few little glitches with how my phone reacts to firmware. I need to write up my findings in a new thread. Pretty interesting stuff. I had a big issue that I was able to fix and it may work for a bunch more people too.

I domt think so, i have noticed, with stock, i get a strong 4g signal. BUt when i switch to different roms, the signal fluctuates.
I have tried: Darkside, creamed glacier, cm7, virtuous unity affinity quattro

Dclaw please share your findings!
Btw my gf also has a mytouch 4g but its stock unrooted and has the same problems as me.

Happens to me quite often. I'm running the latest radio and I think that's the problem for me. It never happened with the previous radio it had. Reason I haven't messed with it is because it works great in the city and I'm always on wifi at home. It bugs me because I send a text and signal drops to 0, "message not sent, will resend when data services are available." back to 3 bars, then resends.

I have the Panache here in Canada through Mobilicity, basically the same phone with a different name, and this is a known issue with the entire batch they sold. I'm pretty sure it's a phone issue on HTC's part that doesn't seem to have a fix for it. I can't remember what the reason was exactly but google Panache no signal or something like that and you should be able to find it.

Random lost of signal
Hi erverybody,
"dclaw_fantum" said he found a suggestions for that, but what is it? I am with Mobilicity (Canada) too and I have the same issue with my phone (also the panache). My friend is also with mobilicity but has a different phone and not any problem like this. It is strange because I am having full reception and it just turns of... totally. At least there should be a GSM signal or WCDMA signal, but it just turns off. Sad that HTC is not trying to fix this, as it seems an issue for a lot of people. Greetings.

It has to do with your Rom that your using or Radio either or can be your problem.

MyTouch 4G with Wind here. Same issue.
Tried 3 different radios and 2 stock and one custom rom and I have the same problems.
I've been leaning towards the problem being a combination of the radio and the rom and how they interact with each other rather than just one of them as it doesn't seem to make any difference what combination of the two you use.
I'm not a developer though, so I might be way off...

Same issue here with a couple of stock MT4Gs on T-Mobile.

Reflashing radio after flashing rom

I have been having bad signal and sluggish data speeds after flashing a rom. On any rom I was choosing actually. And then I decided to give it a try after almost 6 months of being rooted to reflash my current radio and I noticed immediately the difference.
Is this a known problem or am I the only one? I know flash my radio after every rom.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda app-developers app

Your radio is not altered when flashing a new ROM. By reflashing your radio after every ROM flash, you're only increasing the possibilities of something going wrong and leaving you with a brick. The radio is the most dangerous thing to mess with and radio flashing/reflashing should never be taken lightly.

But why is that I get signal drops and slow browser on every rom even on stock rooted
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda app-developers app

Your ROM does not touch the radio. The radio resides in a partition not touched by recovery.
Flashing a radio is dangerous. Failure = a bricked device.
I'm not sure why you're having this result, or if it is a placebo effect. All I know is ROM does not affect Radio performance

But I do notice a big difference in the time it takes to load a web page after reflashing my radio as well as no more signal drops
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda app-developers app

Did you flash the same radio version or a different one?

I just reflashed the same radio that was already on my phone

Is there any explanation for me having random signal drops and slow data speeds

Shaky service in your area? Is WiFi like this too because it might be the hardware
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda app-developers app

Nope wifi is perfect, my wife has a sensation 4g which never has a call drop and we live in the Miami area and I would get call drops in the middle of the day in the city.
It happened on virtuous affinity (but I know sense 3.5 has kind of a problem with signal, correct me if I'm wrong), virtuous unity, lee Droid the latest one, everything. Until reflashing my radio I don't understand why.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda app-developers app

In Miami too... I just reflashed to the latest GB radio from Panache stock and it did feel like it was giving me better overall service. On Sense Roms though I do notice an occasional signal loss and then it comes back and a lot of times it's while sending SMS. After the last time going from Dark Unicorn back to ARHD I was not receiving some messages from my g/f and she wasn't getting some of mine, if I did they were late (that didn't make her happy, lol) but I think it is better now. Maybe it's T-Mobile, maybe my Android doesn't like her iPhone.

Actually I just flashed the latest version of miui.us v4 and I can say that it has the best signal on any rom I tried and didn't have to reflash my radio as compared to just changing from the last GB version of miui.us which needed a radio reflash

Odd thing I noticed about incoming calls

So I've run probably over a dozen different roms in the last few months, one thing I've noticed on all of them is that while someone is calling me, I can hear everything on their end over the speaker phone while my phone is ringing. To be clear, it does this without me answering. Anyone else have this odd "feature"?
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda app-developers app

You sure its with every ROM? That sees unlikely. What about with your stock ROM?
Sent from my Droid Incredible using Tapatalk 2

Yes, every Rom. Haven't been 100 percent stock in a while, but stock+ and touch of blue do it.
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda app-developers app

As far as I know there's no way for the phone to do that, it sounds like something is messed up on the network end. It would be interesting to activate a different phone on the line and see if the problem carries through. Of course, if it is network related, that could reset things and make the problem go away.
On second thought, that doesn't make sense either. That is certainly a weird problem.

I have the same issue running CM 7.2. It seems to happen more with some callers than others. I've had the same issue with albinoman's JB. Haven't tried stock in a long time, though.
