Hi everyone, my HD2 just stopped working with no signal at all.and shows a exclamation all the time, sim cards are no problem. i've updated the phone with official sw, still have this problem at the beginning.
has the phone been blacklisted?
is the phone turned on in wireless mode in settings? ( ya never no)
is it still under warranty?
My HD2 has done the exact same thing, just shows an !
it doesnt even try to find a signal.
phone was a tmobile UK version, which was unlocked to use any network.
the problem has literly just happened today.
have tried different offical roms, and different sim cards.

Just phoned my provider in regards to my phone, quoted the emei and have been told the phone is blacklisted.
they are sending a request to have it unbarred. will post the outcome.
I have had this happen alot with Vodaphone UK. This is a brand new number so doubt it has been black listed.
I can get this working my turning the phone to airplane mode then back to phone mode, this most of the time makes the phone look for a signal.
Usually happens to me when there is no signal like in a tunnel, the phone does not seem to try looking for the network until you force it to.
This is possibly a fault with the timeout of the HTC HD2. Could be once it tries to connect when out of signal the device gives up after a number of attemtps.
Does anyone know?t

I was searching before posting for just this problem.
It is really irritating me. The phone can jump from deciding there is no signal to sometimes even going to full-bar "H"!
I hav currently resorted to turning off 3G as at least that way I am eliminating the idiocy of it prefering 0/1 bar of "H" vs near full non-3G reception for calls.
Even so at times it will just sit there for ages having dropped a signal with the exclamation showing and then jump back to life [in the same place] with good reception.
I am also on Voda UK
Mine has done that twice, in 4 months. 1 time phone was turned off inside connections, no idea how? 2nd time I just shut off, & back on, signal was back, hasn't happened in months now?
so does anyone have a solution to this problem?
I've checked with my service provider and my phone is not blacklisted...
My SIM card seems fine and everything else seems fine, except it keeps giving me the exclamation mark.. most of the time i notice it's when i get out of the lift (but that could be because that's when i usually check my phone before I put it on my desk).
There are many occasions (probably 5+ times/day) where I turn my phone on (ie, off standby) after it's been sitting on my desk for an hour or so to check calls, etc and there is that dreaded exclamation mark.
I know the area around my desk does have a signal because the guy next to me on the same network has a strong 3G and 2G signal.
Sometimes going to Comms to turn airplane mode on and off to force it to look for a signal works, but sometimes it doesnt.
I've tried soft-resetting, hard-resetting, using different radios, different ROMs, etc and still no good.
Funny thing is, it's only been happening over the past 2-3 weeks.. and I'm not sure what triggered it.
It's really starting to frustrate the crap outta me and friends have been asking why they can't get through...
Any help would be appreciated.. . I'm trying to avoid sending it to the HTC service centre if I can because they're slooooow and the stories I've read about my local centre are pretty bad (when I had my HTC diamond).
Solved:upgrade your rom everything gonna b in place
Upgrade to what?
I am having the same problem, for a hile now. Been fiddling with phone settings parameters, trying to see the effect. One particular combination so far seems to work. Try this: Comm manager --> Phone --> Tap Change Phone settings --> Menu --> Advanced network --> GPRS --> select CHAP authentication --> then CSD Line Type --> select Data rate 9600(v.110). Then OK, Back, and Done with the Comm manager. Observe if the network pickup performance (switching from non-existent H or 3G to E or G) works better for you after that. It does better for me, so far.
I'm having the same problem - NO SIGNAL
Any solution?
i recently discovered that for my problem, it was to do with the earphones. Not sure why, but it only seems to happen to me not long after i plug or unplug the earphones.
I usually have my HD2 on my desk with the music going while I work, but every hour or so, I unplug the earphones and take my phone by itself out with me for a cigarette.. then I come back and plug the earphones back in.
Often when I'm about to head downstairs, I turn on the screen while the music is still going and i see the "!"... as soon as I unplug the earphones, the bars indicating reception comes back straightaway!
Not sure if it's a coincidence or whether it really does have something to do with the earphone/earphone jack.
Since I upgraded to the Vodafone rom on the htc website I have not had this problem

I have just bitten the bullet and accepted the phone is crap at swithing between 2G and 3G signal so turn off 3G in a couple of locations when I know I get this problem [home - I can use WIFI] and my office.
HTC would not be drawn at all on un updated Radio and this problem being "fixed" in USA ROMs
Fixed
the very easy fix is to do this :
settings _ personal _ phone _ network then make network selection to manual ,, then choose ur provider,,, then u will have signal,, after that u can turn it back to automatic
100% working
Thanks a "fix" not a solution.
Rather silly to have to jump through hoops to make a mobile phone recognise available reception
Have the same problem
I have the same problem now, any solution for that?
I have my sgs for 2 weeks now. GSM disconnects around every 2 days.
At service mode (*#*#4636#*#* - Phone information) i can see this repport:
GSM disconnects:
====DATA=====
State: inactive
disconnected with last try
at 00:59
fail because No Error
The question is: why does this happen?
Is this an android issue or a hardware problem?
Any pointers?
Thanks in advance
.
do you ever enter a building, subway, or some other location where the GSM becomes poor?

That's not the problem.
Gsm disconnects just like that ,at home for instance. And when I notice that and try to reconnect (settings- wireless networks- mobile networks - networks operators) it doesnt find ANY of them.
Then I restart the phone and gsm network is back.
If I dont notice disconnection in time (so I can restart phone, people just cannot reach me....quite frustrating...
i see what you mean now.
yes, i've noticed that on mine too, but.... that's because i was fooling around with some new Apps Widgets settings i was testing to control the radio and data to save battery.
Did you install any new Apps recently that might cause that?

do you have an old sim card? i had a 3g sim card that wasnt even 1 years old and replacing it fixed connectivity issues on my nexus 1 and i had a similar experience with my old htc magic

Well I installed all kind of apps. but i have the feeling this problem was happening even before that.
And I dont need widgets to control data ( I think) because I set the sgs to use 2g networks only and I dont have apn configured( section is empty. Internet connec. only via wifi.

Well, my sim card is VERY old (2002) and the carrier (Telfort) is roaming into another carrier's network (Kpn) with no extra costs of course like real roaming, but still roaming (I get the little "R" next to the signal strenght bars)
Anyway this never happened with the Nokia 5800xm running Symbian OS and using the same sim card...
Starting to get pissed of with Android...
With Symbian you hack or root or tweak because you want to, not because you NEED to like with Android....
And then you prob. get side effects...
Thank you guys for your time
I would get a new sim card if I were you. Every android phone that I have had seems to work better with a good 3g sim.
Get a new SIM card.
same problem, different phone
i have the same problem on kaiser with flashed android on it.
sim is 2 years old, and now suddenly this happened, tried differents sim cards, but the problem persists. My guess is, it is a software problem.
Maybe i will report when I flash original WM6.1 rom onto it, if you are interested in the result
btw, this happened about two days ago and because of this im buying galaxy s so i hope the problem will be gone with new phone

Why you think the problem will be gone if it's still android and I also got it with my sgs? Or are you counting on Froyo?
Yesterday I upgraded my sgs to froyo jpc with kies. I am new with Android but the post of Aery was so clear that i didnt resist: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769400&highlight=froyo+upgrade
I did get stuck on reboot but could get out of it after applying a cache/data/factory reset on recovery mode (3 buttons)
Now I am being carefull with the 3rd party apps., and so far so good, no gsm disconnections .
Froyo is of course better that eclair but Android is still disappointing to me.
You flashed Android onto a WM device (i'm impressed); could you not teach me how to flash Symbian onto my SGS?
Voice dialing (over bluetooth or not) and proper connectivity control (network, data, gps and bluetooth) of android is years behind Symbian; and such a well written, light OS, it will just fly on a high-end hardware like the sgs; but that is an issue for another thread.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7938430#post7938430

I think indeed that's not the same issue. My problem is that the radio signal get turned off during inactivity. That's why I got connection back after reboot: radio signal gets turned on again; later I learned how to turn radio signal back on without rebooting, but that is just a remedy , no real solution.
Try to upgrade to froyo, make a factory reset and be carefull with 3rd party apps. With froyo you will need less interfering tools anyway
I dont thing that my old sim card is the problem, but i'll try to replace it anyway...but first things first
Btw dou you have 3g turned on? Cause I never...
Another mistery: When I have 3G on I see those bars (signal strenght) dancing and that "death grip" thing happening:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LROTHrTR92k
But when I have it on 2G only the bars doesnt move even if I strangle it with both hands.....
Please repport later how it's going...
I had the same issue, i sent mine back and got my money back, i had also tried with different simcards and resets and nothing worked.. so hopefully my new galaxy wont have this problem. Its strange that these problems are so rare though.. But as long i get it going ill be a happy man.
fourth day with JPC ( and 4 days after a factory reset) so far so good no disconnections . I think problem is gone...
Today just to be safe, I got a new sim card....the other one was too old anyway(8 years)
i have the same issue, for a few days i can't get 3g. i'm seriously wondering about sending back my sgs. i've ttried all the settings, changed my sim..nothing...begin to think it was a fullish thing to change Desire to SGS..

Well... this is not the same issue.
I have 3G (WCDMA) disabled. I only use 2G (GSM) and WIFI for data/internet connection.
I Dont have a data account, I dont need it therefore I disabled 3G in order to save battery.
If you do want to use 3G, just go to settings - wireless and network - mobile network settings - network mode and set auto-mode (GSM/WCDMA or 3G/2G)
If it doesn't work, apply a data/factory reset and try again.
And if it doesnt work, it's probably hardware related and you should return it or send it for repair.
My issue is more complicated; next to the fact that I dont want to use 3g, my carrier is roaming to another network and probably Android OS or the firmware cannot handle it properly.
Android is still premature and the "Samsung - Android integration" seems to need a lot of development as well.
It is just a shame that basic functions like proper connectivity control just wont cut it. And Google is not doing any good either.
And dont let me get started on the voice recognition issue......
Hardwarewise, the SGS is superior that htc desire.....I wonder how it would perform if running Symbian^3 OS or Meego.....
I get a great sound quality from the stock music player just by mixing the equalizer and using the music clarity effect...just great...better than any other device I tried.
And the OFFLINE Gps experience is just great as well: the combination SGS - Motonav - External Bluetooth gps device is working like a charm.
I wouldn't change my sgs just yet......
yesterday i was swiching sims to determine if is a sim fault and suddenly i have my 3g/h back. happy owner again. i've tried all to do this, from firmware upgrade to servide mode settings..i don't know why but i'm ok again...

Hello,
I know its been a long time since you wrote this thread but I just came by it!
I have the exact same problem with you (I had it since August) even now with the official froyo. I tried factory reset and no new apps (that could cause the problem) but it still disconnects randomly in GSM mode. However, when I have it on auto (gsm and wcdma) I have no issues. I just disconnect data from the power button in froyo. I am wondering if you ever found a solution..
Chryssa
Well, I am subscribed to this topic so I saw your post.
Good and bad news:
First the bad one: No solution yet, it keeps disconnecting IF I stay on "gsm only".
And the good (or a little better) news:
I noticed that on sgs, using "gsm only" or "gsm/wcdma (auto mode) makes no difference on battery consumption....
By the way, this is a Samsung issue, not really an Android one.
On a HTC Desire HD, you can use "gsm only" mode with no problems...
Thank you for your answer!
I noticed that about the battery too. So not too bad, I just have to keep it on auto mode then..
Same issue
Im having the same issue but in a optimus t the worst part is that i cant get service at all.. when i press change network preferred it wont change and when i try to press on turn on radio it wont work either....
After a couple of days of using my Nexus 4 i've noticed a problem with the way it handles the transition between Wifi and 3G internet.
Usually it works just as expected, when I switch Wifi off (or just go out of wifi range) it automatically switches to 3G internet (coverage icon in blue). The problem is that sometimes, after switching wifi off, it doesn't turn on 3G data (coverage icon remains grey). The only way I can get 3G internet back is turning Airplane Mode on, and then off again. ¿Am I missing something here? I've seen other people having this problem with other phones, but no workaround yet

This happens with my gf's Galaxy S3 too...
I think this is just a network coverage issue. My old mytouch 4g slide had the same problem. Usually it switches quickly if I'm in an area with great reception. If I'm somewhere with weak reception, it takes a little longer.

Well, I don't think this is a network coverage problem because when this problem happens, it can stay for hours with no 3G internet, it just doesn't even try. But then I switch airplane mode on and then off again, and it achieves 3G data connectivity almost immediately. Also, with the same SIM card I didn't have this problem with an iPhone 3GS.
Well, i've been investigating a little bit, and I've just found it in the AOSP issues tracker as "Android Issue #2207"
I've also found some apps like "3G Connection Fix Free" that seems to try to fix it
I'll try them and report back my findings
I think I have this problem too sometimes. I think my phone has other issues, I'm about to send it back to Google because it keeps dropping cell signals as well, but I definitely have this same problem.
Yes, it happened to me as well yesterday.
After I had more than ten hours at home using wifi, it can't switch to 3G automatically when I left home. The only way I did is reboot the phone.
But if I just connected to wifi for few hours it is OK.
Before I use One X, I don't have this problem before, but the problem is I can't access to internet once I am using wifi for more than 36 hours about.
I think there is big problem for Android system related to wifi and 3G access.
I don't think it's a nexus issue at all. It is definitely something else. My phone hands over form wifi to H+ in a matter of seconds every-time.
I believe you might have a coverage issue.
I am having the same issue, and can confirm it is NOT related to coverage. A reboot of the phone will immediately fix the problem. Have also tried disabling the mobile network, then re-enabling it, with no success.

Well, nothing i've tried has worked so far. It looks like if it stays connected to Wifi for many hours (for example overnight), it just won't switch to mobile internet unitl I reboot or do the airplane mode trick. I also have wiped everything and reinstalled the stock rom, but the problem is still there. Has anybody fixed it?
Had this problem with my Nexus One, with my Transformer 300 and now with my Nexus 4.
I use German provider O2 and after doing some research, many people suffer this problem and have O2. I thought it was related to my SIM card and I ordered a new one without success. My wife has O2, too. She never had a problem, not with her HTC Desire, not with her Galaxy Nexus.
I worked around with free app WifiFixer Free, which connects to 3G every 60 minutes. This doesn't seem to work on Jelly Bean, though.
The problem is all but new and I am out of ideas. I now use an app that enters and leaves airplane mode upon leaving a Wi-Fi network. But it yet has to prove that it works...
Any news in here? have the same problem and don't know how to solve it. It's so annoying

On my Galaxy Note 3, when at home I am connected to my WIFI. When I leave the house or switch off my WIFI the phone seems unable to connect to the network (in this case Three) and the browser, email and any other data apps state they cannot connect to the Internet.
The only way to resolve it is to switch on Flight Mode and then turn it off again. I saw a comment in the reviews for the Note 3's keyboard fix that one other person is experiencing the same as me.
Is anyone else having this problem and do you know of a permanent fix? The only info I can find is a similar issue on the Note 2 at time of launch which look to have been corrected by a patch.
i have this problem so i flashed h3g uk firmware and it kept failing, so i flashed back to uk btu firmware and im stuck with the exact same problem. no idea how to fix either,
p.s my problem only seems to be with google now, play store and sometimes on any app that uses internet i get news feed error no connection ect..
I am on Three network and mine works OK.

Solution
I think I have found a work around to this annoying problem. It was losing the ability to use any data when I left a WIFI spot I was connected to, or when out and about and the phone picked up an open WIFI spot. None of the WIFI advanced options made any difference. It would affect 3G data too, I'd lose all data access until I toggled Flight mode off & on...that was the only way I could get it working again other than restart the phone.
I found a post about a similar issue with the Note 2 when it was first released and it mentioned a WIFI power saving mode. It turns out you can get to this from the SeviceMode screen by dialing this number *#0011# (ServiceMode will start as soon as you enter the second #) - assume it is the same for all. Once in ServiceMode, tap the menu button and chose WIFI. You will then see a WIFI Power Save Mode label with a button underneath. Tap the button to set it to OFF.
I've been testing this all day, normally I'd lose data at least three times, sometimes more, while travelling but so far today everything has worked flawlessly ... no loss of data connectivity. From what I have been reading, switching off power save mode does not affect battery life despite what you might think and I've not noticed any unusual battery drain today so far. So if you are experiencing the same annoying loss of data, try this before you take your phone back. Hopefully this is a software issue that will be fixed in the future.
I swapped the phone
Hi,
I had something similar, except it wasnt wifi related, it happened after I lost the signal for a while (eg, in a lift/elevator).
I tried a new simcard, and that didnt help (also Three UK).
Then I got the handset swapped for a new one at carphonewarehouse, and it fixed the issue, so I put it down to a lemon unit.
cheers

on my s4 and n3 i did more than 10 tests each on wifi and 3g with phones simultaeneously, both on same network, both held in my either hands, both using speedtest both connecting to same server, both on the three network sims on the one plan with unlimited internet including tethering (both pans in my name), same location, same times tests were done.
both on 3g and wifi the n3 is MUCH MUCH slower than the s4 both on three network and same wifi
********************* on wifi on 3G
S4 PING TIME 32 to 173 66 to 86
N3 Ping Time 30 - 37 73 to 1110
S4 upload speeds 8 to 17.79mbps 1.65 to 2.27
N3 upload speeds 7.11 to 12.58 1.74 to 3.77
s4 download speeds 17.79 to 22.38 6.61 tp 7.68
N3 download speeds 7.93 to 12.58 mbps 0.92 to 8.04
the numbers are not just it, even during speed tests i was losing wifi connection on the N3 a couple of times and see the same happening on streaming youtube where it keeps stalling on wifi unlike the s4. surely there is something wrong with the hardware of firmware
Looks like the WIFI setting only helped and it has not solved my problem. l now lose network data connection less often when leaving a wifi zone but it still happens. More worryingly on two occasions now I have lost all access to three including calls, texts and data. Toggling Airplane mode brings everything back to life but this makes the service unreliable.
Sometime I also have this problem. This is similar to when I went overseas, I turned off the data roaming, but it always unable to connect to data when I returned. Usually I have to reboot it.

Just got this alert as it was in my spam box hence the late reply.
Had done this comparison video of the note 3 versus nexus 5 WiFi speeds on same router and nexus 5 was giving speeds of up to 50 Mbps and the Samsung galaxy note 3 was giving 0.5mbps plus drop outs! See video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-XvFPwTAGA
The router works fine with my 3 nexus 7 tablets, 3 Tegra note 7 tablets, Samsung galaxy note (original), 2x android mini PC, 2x smart TV's from Sony and LG, 2x smart bluray players from Sony and LG, laptop, smart camera from Samsung, Panasonic stranger, my NAS drives, 2x old HTC desire phones, a few other old phones from Sony and Nokia and media player from samsung and archos, the only device that ever had a problem with any Router is this Samsung galaxy note 3.
Main problem happens when there are open WiFi networks around our you have selected the auto detect in settings. Here is the solution https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjL8JbSQCvw and now I get 50mbps with same phone and router! So it was **** Samsung software to blame!
Now I have triple sim adapter in phone and all three give me 3g signal in Many areas.

The first time I fixed this by rebooting. This time I tried restarting my phone, removing the battery, turning off Wifi Power Saving Mode by dialing *#0011#. Fortunately I was able to fix the problem simply by toggling Airplane mode without having to reboot. Hope this helps.

Hi there,
First of all, I ran an extensive search over google and also on XDA forums before posting this.
My S4 (I9500) is experiencing random data connection drop problem for some time now. It starts with no data transfer (upload/download arrows not being active), then connection goes from H+ to H, then to 3G, then drops, back to H and continues until I turn off and on MOBILE DATA from toggle buttons. Then it works normal for some random time, then it happens again. Sometimes an hour, sometimes after 5 minutes.
I found this thread , however trying the workaround there by entering the provided code, I get "Connection problem or invalid MMI code". So that fix is not working either. I tried to go in service mode > debug screen > nas control and change revision to Release 5, but it says NOT SUPPORT. Haven't tried the other releases since I dont want to mess with it. I am also aware that the workaround in the above thread is for S2.
When this happens, it is just mobile data, there is no problem with network signal.
Has anyone else experienced something like that on their S4s?
The method you tried using is probably outdated and for a different phone.
Are you sure it isn't your provider?
Did you try another modem?

Nope.. I am working for a service provider company. Other people with iPhones in the same location as I am, are not experiencing the same thing. I heard similar problems with other S4 users, but they dont know any workaround either.
I tried both auto connect and WCDMA only options as well. Doesnt make a difference. My S4 doesnt support LTE, so I only have 3 options, third as GSM only, which I don't think it would be a solution.
Only temporarily solution so far, is turning mobile data off and on, which lasts from 5 minutes to 1-2 hours.
Btw my android version is 4.4.2
