Hi,
I dropped my DZ on the ground three days ago, and ever since it just hasn't been the same
It keeps dropping calls, it rebooted a couple times, and I had to restart it manually three times in order to get the GPS running. I keep calling people and can't get through, and also data is very unstable as I can get Whatsapp messages hours after they were sent to me.
I'm sure that issues started after dropping the phone, because it performed flawlessly for a couple months now, after flashing CM7.
Can I be certain that something happened to the hardware? probably the Radio chip?
Could it be helpful to reflash the ROM or the Radio or is it just a waste of time considering the issues?
Thanks for any advice, this is absolutely terrible
Best would be to do a complete wipe and reflash just to make sure, it's not to much hassle and then you'll know for certain if it's a hardware or software problem.

I've had my wizard (cingular 8125) for just a little but over a year, but this past month I've had some abnormal issues with it.
I've dropped this phone a few times, but randomly this past month I have noticed a severe amount of service dropping in different forms.
Sometimes I'll be on the phone and it will randomly drop and start searching for a signal, in a well serviced area. Sometimes I'll be texting, and it will have service(2-6bars, enough for texting) but it will refuse to send the message, and when I try to call, it says invalid sim, and I have to reboot.
Sometimes If I am lucky, when the service drops it will pick it up within 20 seconds, it can take up to 5min, and sometimes I have to restart it.
This phone has been stock up untill this problem started (no rom flashing/anything) I tried unlocking it and trying different roms on it recently as a last ditch effort to fix this annoying problem. If anyone knows of a solution to this problem, I'd be really appreciative of it, otherwise im getting a new phone
While my first instinct is to convince you to sell me your otherwise functioning phone on the cheap, I must resort to being the good guy (or else get spanked by the mods...)
There is a registry fix for the kind of signal dropping you're describing. I'm surprised you went for so long without experiencing the problem. I did almost right away when I got mine last year. You should try it first, if you haven't already...
I think this is the one I used:

i don't think its a Rom problem,as signal reception is not depended on the Rom,its an OS,rather its more depended on the Radio Rom (GSM) of the phone.Usually,by upgrading the Radio Rom improves the signal reception quality.Instead of flashing different roms,try to flash different Radio Roms and check if it improves the signal quality.
But,here,I think,perhaps,the problem lies more on the hardware part then the Radio Rom. as you say,it has been dropped a couple of times,it may be the the External Antenna cover has lost proper connection with the Internal antenna connection.Check the fastening clips which snap in to secure the External antenna cover to the internal are properly secured in and have not come off, are not loose or broken,which might be causing it to not having proper connection.
Cheers!
Well i tweaked those settings and tore this baby apart, and honestly the service was dramatically improved for this entire week, untill thursday, when service began dropping and it began to start telling me my sim was invalid. So I'm kinda lost here, it seems no one else has had this type of issue....
And on a sidenote I am unable to connect to gprs or edge to send pictures via mms. I noticed this after I started flashing different roms, so I think its software related. I did however download that .cab package floating around that has all the cingular media net settings. But when I try to send a picture my phone just seems kinda lost lol
bump!
I reflashed the rom to the official htc cingular rom, and that fixed the edge/gprs issue, but service is still bad.... Id like to try some different radio roms before totally giving up hope on this thing, but this site has seem to take down its ftp.... anyone have any wizard radio roms uploaded? preferably ones that work well with cingular/ at&t here in the US.... thanks
bump... guess no one has any ideas=(..... but since the ftp is back up ill try some radio roms
Even with auto-sync turned off, you have probably noticed that google contacts
keeps syncing on an irregular basis. It's not supposed to do this and for some reason when it does it slows down the phone BIG time.
In my experience, the only time I lose the audio (phone slows, audio goes, have to reboot) is when the google contacts are trying to sync.
If you aren't on a call when the contacts sync, the phone slows and recovers fine on its own. If you are on a call...curtains.
If the google sync issue is corrected...the problem may go away. I have no idea how to attempt to do this but I really think these issues could be tied together.

Just one problem with that statement...when on a call, EVDO (all data) drops out, meaning sync isnt possible. However, could it be possible that those experiencing issues have a problem with data continuing while on a call wrecking havoc? Just an idea. Have yet to experience this yet and hopefully wont.
hmmmm interesting
ive too also have been dealing with the audio issues, my thing is it doesnt do it all the time, my phone sometimes does have a google sync issue at times, where it kind of hangs, i too have noticed that when i loose audio my sync is connected, but when its completely off theres no probs, meaning i never have to retart phone. idk im beat once my sync is done when i flash a rom i completely turn it off and i un check always on mobile in settings, and my audio issues went away................
im not sure if this is what you guys are talking about, but ive been having an issue that is driving me insane. I can make and receive calls fine, however no sound is transmitted to either party (my mic and speaker don't work). The only thing that fixes it is a restart, then its usually only the first one or two calls after the restart that work fine, after that its lights out again. always on mobile is unchecked, contacts/mail/calendar are set to manual sync and nothing else really pulls data without me initiating it.
Ive been on with Sprint all week about it and they are sending me a replacement and credited me back the past month, so we'll see if its a ROM or a hardware thing cause the second the replacement comes in its getting rooted and flashed
I have flashed Fipz' 2.0d on my phone, my co-worker's, and my wife's. The first two phones have worked just fine, from the first boot, however, after flashing it several times, my wife's hero continues to lose audio. I have even tried the update.zip that was supposed to help it.
The only differences that I can account for is that I rooted and flashed the two working ones on a Windows computer at work, and my wife's I rooted and flashed at home in Ubuntu.
It doesn't seem likely to me that I did anything different, (other than the required differences in the code when rooting) on my wife's phone than I did on the other two.
After 3 wipes, SD Format and re-partitions, and reconfiguring her phone, it still gets that audio issue. The longest it has lasted without doing it is about 6 hours.
I have absolutely no clue what could be causing this lol

To complicate things, I'm on a mac and have flashed MatrixROM. So, it looks like nobody is safe...Ubuntu, Windows and Mac. I noticed someone had posted a possible fix a little bit ago. I may give that a shot as it's incredibly frustrating. I wish there was a way to send all calls to voicemail, cause its pointless to have them connect through right now.
hopefully anyone who wants to test the new fix has. if not please do. its on the thread i started and it uses a variation of "fixes". as stated before, we know what causes it but not really sure how to fix it. im working with a very good dev to create a kernel and ramdisk to fix it with everything working.
wifi doesnt work with the fix as of right now. but anyways hope it helps.
Since yesterday my 3g has been randomly dropping and the icon will disappear as well. If idle the icon will vanish for about a solid minute, come back then drop anytime after 10-15 seconds. If I manage to keep a constant connection, the icon won't vanish. However it is horribly slow now.
This is my first cell with data and such so I'm not sure if this may be a naturally occurring 3g bug. It did seem to happen after a few days of several hours worth of shoutcast streaming. A few rom downloads as well due to my home net being broke too.
Been running jt's clean.02 and it's been rock solid. Tried flashing a few backups and some other roms from the site. I never flashed voodoo or a kernel either, just tried the modem update to make the di01 update complete. No change. This just suddenly started happening.
Any advice/help would be great!
I'm beginning to think the phone just decided to fritz out or something. Multiple wipes, permission fixes and restores. Only way to keep it close to functional is to keep pulling data.
I'm lost here and with no net and shady 3G, I can't get any good research done.
Sounds like a flaky radio. I'd try to get a warranty replacement, if I were you.

Hey guys, I'm having issues with loss of signal. I'm going from -83dBm 15asu HSPA to complete dead signal, not even a phone signal. It just seems within the last week my phone's connection quality has gone down the toilet. Another issue I'm seeing is when I make a call, I have a dead time when the call connects, like 2-3 seconds where I can hear them, but they can't hear me.
A few facts about my device:
CM7.0.0
12.28h.60.140.fU_26.06.02.27_M - Radio
I dropped the phone a few weeks ago, but wasn't having this or any other issues.
This issue happens periodically and can happen several times in a few minutes, to once, and not again for the rest of the day.
-Also- I'm running beautiful widgets with the weather+time+date widget, and all the weather information is gone. IE: clouds, sun, rain, etc.
Just updated to nightly 92, installed the latest radio, cleared EFS data, and installed pershoots kernel, taking time after each step to see if it continued. I just had a 5 minute stretch with no signal. I'm at a loss..

I had this saaaaaaame issue up until yesterday, I'm running Cyanogenmod 7.0.2 and I had previously "upgraded" my radio to 26.08.04.30; but just downgraded to 26.08.04.16.
This resolved a number of issues for me including the signal loss, the answer delay, an SMS send issue, and my battery life has also greatly improved.
You can download the radio here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Support_Downloads#HTC_Vision
Not sure if this may work for you, but give it a shot and let us know!

could very well be the SIM card itself.. especially if you dropped the phone recently. did the same with my G2 and started having intermittent signal loss, reseating the SIM card fixed it.
So i've bought my one plus 6t about 2 months ago and i've had this problem with the internet connection from the beginning. Basically after a period of using it (like 1 hour/1 hour and a half) the connection would stop working, completely... Wifi, data everything would stop working until i rebooted the phone and it got back to normal. After the upgrade to android 10.3.0 the problem seemed to be gone but i discovered later that it just "changed". Now sometimes the connection goes really bad (like doesn't even load a song from spotify) for like 1-5 minutes and than returns normal again; this loop can go on for a lot and it is really annoying.
I don't know what casued this problem in the beginning and why it's happening now. I think there might be a stock problem with the network card but i don't know for sure and i don't know how to check. I already reset the phone once (the partial one that keeps all the photos and data in the phone) after the 10.3.0 upgrade but the problem remains.
If someone knows how to fix this/why this is happening please help me, i really don't know what to do at this point.
I would do backup and factory reset if not you can send to oneplus centre but they will do that before any repairs anyway.
I have had a similar problem on 10.3.1 and at least 1 if not 2 updates prior to the this one.
What happens go for me though, is when at home, (haven't had it happen anywhere else), connected to wifi or not, the phone randomly loses all connection to my sim. It comes back almost instantly but still quite annoying and until this post I haven't heard of it happening to anyone else, not that I have come across, at least.
And I know it's not because of where I'm at in the house or anything cause I've had the phone a year now and the problem just started within the last month or so.
Insight on this would be awesome.
I have also noticed weird connectivity drops to no service and back. that only happens rarely and will restore i seconds. havent annoyed me that much that i needed to do something about it. I travel lots with train, and when this happens on train it seems to have more difficult to connect back. it does eventually but might be enough to drop streaming music from playing.
There is definitely something going on with Oneplus and APNs. (OP7 sms and mms issues etc)
I Recommend doing a full backup with Oneplus Switch and restoring factory defaults. Then you can restore backup. Most likely fixes issue that bad to same condition as ours. if it doesnt, take it to warranty.
