I have been using android 2.2 (Mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.8) on my HD2 for a while now. Recently I've been having serious issues with my signal and the ability to successfully send text messages. Place where I used to get 3-5 bars of signal are now giving me 0-2 bars and often no signal at all. text messages are constantly erroring on send even when I do have 4-5 bars of signal. This has been tested at 4 different locations where I spend time regularly so I am not thinking this is a tower issue just yet.
Any ideas?
Radio version 2.15.50.14
pending on where you are located it could be a tower issue for instance im bout 45mins from where that huge tornado hit Joplin, Mo and we have been having troubles from all the storms this week.. i ran that rom from my sd for a very long time and loved it but decided to go NAND because it was just easier to deal with. when i had those issues with that rom i used Titanium Backup and did a fresh load on it and usually solved it. Also make sure that you have a newer updated Kernal on the phone because that always helps.

This is a strange one. I have been using Fresh Evo 3.2.0.0 rom for almost a month and it works great. I wanted to try another rom so I tried the VirusRom... it was good but I liked Fresh better. So reflashed my Nandroid image and all was well.
But then I started seeing a lot of failed connections to the market and noticed that my 3G was not connecting. I live in Chicago so I am fully covered by 3G in this area, and even 4G in many spots. Usually when I leave a wifi area, the phone switches back to 3G almost instantly. But ever since nandroiding back to the Fresh Evo 3.2.0.0 rom, it only works after a reboot. As soon as I hit a wifi zone and then lose it, 3G doesn't switch back on.
4G and Wifi both work, but if I disable both wifi and 4g.. 3g doesn't come back without a reboot.
I've even switched off the Mobile network using the widget and the power button menu.. no luck. Only a reboot brings it back.
So then I even did the trick to get my PRI up to 1.40 and that worked fine. But no change in the behavior of 3G. When I reboot and 3G is working, it works great as usual. Just not sure why the switching no longer works. I even tried switching back to the rooted sprint stock rom.. same deal.
Anyone else having any issues?

yes, I have noticed this at times. Just happened to me. Failed connection when switching off 4g to 3g. Using fresh 3.2. But I noticed this as well on other roms. I had to reboot each time to get 3g working again. I also reset my data connection last night but it obviously didnt work.
I've been having issues with my 3G for the past two days. Similar story, I did and Nand restore and that is when it started.
I am getting an error code 67 everytime I switch from Wifi, 4G or even when I reboot to try and fix this. Usually if I let it sit it will come back, but the error message popping up is quite annoying.
Wish I had something more helpful to say, but I can just add that I'm having the same problems switching from wifi to 3g. Even after 3g turns on it will sometimes turn off again randomly and I will have no connection. I'm also running fresh. In addition my 3g signals are quite week. kinda a mess...
Weird. My phone did this today for the first time. The thing is, I've been on Fresh 3.2 for a month now, and I flashed the latest Baked Snack rom yesterday to test it out. It never did it while I was on Fresh, but today after turning off WiFi, it wouldn't connect to 3G for anything. No text or data transfer at all. After I rebooted it, it started working again, but my phone never did this while I was on Fresh.
I am having the same problem and I am using Fresh 3.2 as well. I did go to a different rom but then went back to Fresh's rom and that is when it starting happening to me. It will only pick up 3g now and then and even when it does my speed is super slow. Hoping someone comes up with a fix as I made my own post but no one seems to feel the need to reply to it.
Theories...
Same here. I'm on Baked Snack 1.7x
I know Fresh and Hero both use some of the same components. I flashed to Cyano and have had no problems with the 3G radio. It's very snappy switching on and off after wifi connects and disconnects.
I do know there have been one or two issues with the radio with people who are on the 3.28.651.x roms. (for instance, if you enable 4G then disable, sometimes it randomly turns off and on without you knowing until you restart)
So my guess is maybe the 3.28.651.x series is glitchy. You guys want to try going back to 3.26.651.6 and do some testing?
happened to me on stock. Had to reboot the phone to fix it.
This seems to be working for me today with no problems so far. I am wondering if a tower was down with Sprint putting up the 4g around my city. Will keep posted if it happens again but seems to be running like normal now.
This has to be network issues maybe the latest PRL.
Mine has did the same last couple days also on power on , it takes longer for 3G icon to kick in.
Signal flux has been occurring more then norm fast download - Upload speeds taking hit some parts of the day.

I am on 3.26.651.6 build and this was happening. I am no longer having any problems with this. I do feel this might have been a problem Sprint's servers were having. Seems like everyone started having the problem right around the same time.
It must be... Going to an older PRL didn't help, and there are a bunch of forum topics being created about this on other forums as well. Guess it's time to play the waiting game.
My issue is so bad right now even if I restart my phone, it doesn't even get data connection right away. 10 minutes waiting now and error code 67's keep popping up.
This just happened to me today. It took me awhile to connect the error statement to the fact the 3g didn't turn on after I turned off wifi. But I was able to press the 'data connection' button on the switchpro widget to turn 3g back on.

That is how I got it working a little bit last evening but as I said in my last statement it is finally working and has been all day. Not sure what the deal actually was as I did not change anything since 2 evenings ago. I am thinking that Sprint is doing something which is messing everyone up at one point or another.
Hey guys, I'm using the Chucky ROM on my HD2 and running the Froyo (no sense i think) version of android.
I have had the phone for several months. When I first got it, the reception was great in WinMo. I flashed the ROM (Elegencia at the time) and reception was still fine. A few weeks later, I couldn't get any service to speak of at my house (in Elegencia or Android). I tried a different radio - no luck. I flashed the ROM again to Chucky...no luck. I've tried tinkering with the settings for selecting a network...no luck again.
I switched my SIM card to my old blackberry, and I get 1-2 steady bars at my house. However, on my HD2, I can barely get one bar, and if so, it's gone within a few seconds. The reception is often very sporadic elsewhere - one minute I might have 5 3G bars, the next I have no service. It's so bad my calls constantly drop due to the dropped service.
A friend of mine has the same phone, also running Android (with the same Radio last I checked), and he will have a steady 5 bars while I have no service - sitting just feet apart.
Is there anything else I can try before I move on to a different phone? I love running android, but I need to be able to make calls from my house!
Thanks in advance!
OK for the past week arround the time I first installed MGLDR 13 my Signal has been dropping out totally. When I use the data connection. Everything goes out I have no 3G,H,or any barrs at all for about 30 seconds. Then it comes back strong as ever then out again over and over. I have had this phone for almost a year now and have never experienced these problems. My speeds have always been great 5m DL and 2m UL.
Things I have done to try and fix this that have not worked are
re-install MGLDR 11, Flash like 3 different roms, Flash a new radio, Task29, Flashed Energy's newest WinMo build even in winmo I was having the same signal loss so I eventually put MGLDR 13 back on my phone and installed Android again but none of this has fixed my issue
Does anyony have this problem and can anyone advise what I should do next?
i do it happens to me all the time i dont know why ??
I have selected GSM only in network settings and my cell signal is stable now but my data is SUPER DUPER slow. This is in no way a fix for me I pay good $ for fast DATA and should be able to still have good cell signal with it
anyone have an idea?
Yeah I'm having a very similar problem. My calls and SMS work fine but as for data, horrible.
I get this a lot:
"A network error has occurred. Retry,
or cancel and return to the previous
screen."
If this is a repeat thread, I apologize but I'm not having any luck finding this specific issue.
Since using EB01 I've noticed my signal bars going frequently from 2-3 bars down to 1-0 bars, yet checking the signal strength in the About Phone>Status section it is consistently in the -80s, which is relatively good signal.
After a while I started noticing that if my 3G icon was showing up and/or down activity, it would show only 1 or 0 bars, yet when it switched to "D" (meaning dormant), it would shoot back up to 2-3 bars, until data started flowing again then it would go back to 0-1 bars.
As I started troubleshooting this, I was using the Speedtest.net app to check my download speeds. When data was showing that low, it would either time out or would give very low speeds (in the 100k's both up & down). Sometimes it would go up to the 200-300k's.
Now here's what I don't understand: if I turn off my data connection, then turn it back on, my data connection goes back up to 2-3 bars again, and download tests go back to the 600k-1mbps speeds again. So it's like it's losing data reception until a fresh connection is made.
I've tried both some of the Superclean ROMs including the latest 2.8. I've been using the EB01 voodoo kernel. I also recall when I was running the EA28 OTA update before rooting that it was happening as well. Right now I'm back to the stock debloated deodexed ROM with the same voodoo kernel and switched to the DL09 baseband radio and had this happen.
Has anyone else run into this problem? Does anyone recommend a certain ROM/kernel/baseband combination to see if it will help?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

You know, I never really paid it too much mind, but I MIGHT have a similar situation. Though, I don't have to reset the connection, it just up and down drastically a lot. I will look into this myself, see if I can find anything to help you.
Yup. I had this problem too. I had a phone that initially came with DH rom. After I flashed EB01 modem and rom, I was missing 3G for 30 seconds after I wake the phone up. Practically the same symptoms: bad battery life, low up/down 3G speeds (I had ~100Kb/s max). I tried to flash different modems DI, DJ, DL, EB, tried different non-voodoo kernels, different roms, nothing helped. Even ODIN back to full stock DI01 did not solve the problem.
Solved with getting a replacement phone. After I got a replacement with EA28, I got double battery life and great up/down speeds. So right now I am wondering: should I risk my phone to flash leaked EB01 again?
Currently running AllianceROM 4.4.2 on my Note 3 - For the longest time I was on straight-talk service, and after a while I kept having issues with crappy signal strength, Slow internet speeds and general reliability issues - Well, I went back to Verizon just yesterday and it seems to be worse. I've got 2 maybe 3 bars of service at my house, where as everyone else in my house (On Verizon, but with iPhone 4s, and iPhone 5) getting 4+ bars and 4G LTE. I sometimes get my LTE, but other times it is just 3G.
Sometimes my service will drop out completely, I won't have a signal at all..It comes back after a few moments though.
So I am wondering if this is a hardware issue, or issue with something on the ROM? Maybe I need to reset my phone, or upgrade the modem?
Also - My text messages are coming in strange orders. I will send one, Get a reply... But the reply will be above what I sent to them before, saying it was received an HOUR ago. Even though I just got it. Or it will receive twice, and one reply will be an hour ago, and the other will be current. I've cleared all data settings in my messaging app, and checked / changed my automatic time / time-zone settings.
Any ideas?
