Hi All,
For 2 weeks or so now I've been having an issue with my Hero's internet connection. Didn't notice specifically when it started as it only affects the 3G connection and I mostly get HSDPA in my area. I use WiFi at home anyway.
When the notification bar shows 3G, the upstream arrow flashes periodically but there is no traffic downstream. Market downloads fail, anything which requires an internet connection will timeout.
However as soon as it switches up to H connection, it starts downloading immediately. If I switch to 2G only GPRS and EDGE connections work fine too.
Around the time the issue started I was trying a few different 2.1 roms for the first time. Have flashed several different roms since and have the same issue. Currently using VillainRom5.5. I was already using Radio 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 but have reflashed this too. Have flashed the stock Orange RUU, RUU_Herrange_UK_2.73.61.5_release_signed_NoDriv er.exe, but the issue remains.
Didn't have a problem, especially at home, before trying the 2.1 roms. I have good signal regardless which connection I have, currently 3 bars.
Thought it might just be an issue around my house but have tested all over and it's the same. Became an issue this week as I was visiting Somerset and in area's without HSDPA. Had to switch to 2G only in order to get internet connection.
Have searched here and other forums but cannot find anything specifically like this, any help greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
hello,
I had a lot of problems with connections (3G/HSDPA/2G) with loose of signal.
I tried a lot of ROMS to solve this problem. But It wasn't the right way...
In fact, My SIMcard was defective. I had to change it, and now all is OK.
I'm not sure that it will be the right issue for you, but perhaps It could be...

Cheers for your reply.
Have contacted Orange today, the customer services guy tried some stuff and asked me to test and call back. Hasn't helped so will call them back in a mo and report back.
Hi,
I am having a very similar issue and I am also on Orange. My issue started after around the time I flashed Villian 5.3 but I doubt this is the issue as I have flashed other ROMS since and have the problem. Have you also done the 2.1 battery stuff by *#*#4636#*#*? I did this around the same time the issue started and I thought it was because I had set it to GSM (auto) but I put it back to WCDMA but that made no difference.
My phone keeps showing 3G then swapping to HSDPA. This is both an my house and in the city. I always got H no matter where I was but now keeps swapping after a couple of mins or when I use internet. I've reflashed ROM, radios and tried a friends Orange SIM and I get the same.
I also have the exact same problem on the 3 network in the uk, definately not a sim problem as before I rooted and flashed it all worked perfectly. Hasnt been too much of an issue as most of my city has hspda coverage but if I go out of town its a pain.
Problem started as soon as I flashed a villain ROM and is present in all 2.1 ROMs I have tried although I have noticed that the legend ports seem more stable and connect a little better, so am currently running the villain 4 ROM. Updating the radio made no difference and I am starting to wonder if it is some thing to do with using a CDMA port?

Yeah I did try that stuff, I too have set it back to WCDMA Preferred. Now you mention it I guess my issue did start around this time too so its likely to be linked.
It does seem too coincidental that we have done the same things and are having the same issues on Orange. I'm going to wait to see if ROM from the official 2.1 build sorts it out and if not swap the phone out. I've had Villian and now BeHero + and still have the issue. I've flashed different Radio's as well and that has not fixed it.

Ive had this problem for well over a month now, way before the gsm auto trick came on the forums and I started using it, I dont think thats the cause, dont think its a radio issue either as had it on two diff radio versions.
My issue started as soon as I flashed a eris port which as far as I know is cdma based and isnt that a different kind of network than we use over here??
Any devs want to chip in here and help some noobs plz?
I've always had this issue with Orange as well, regardless of ROM, prior or after to flashing. I thought it was just the Orange network capacity as when I use the phone out of peak hours (2-7am) its fine.
I have the stock Hero with 1.5, no roots or custom os & it happens to me on Orange UK.
No idea why, but don't think its to do with custom roms!

Yaeh i have the exact same issue, tried many different roms, including official orange roms. This issue started before i started playing with customer roms.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Just adding to the list. Same issue for me, Orange UK - not specific to any ROM (Stock or Custom)
I'm going to join the party and say I have this problem too.
Although I didn't notice until I read this and checked, I just assumed Oranges 3G network was unstable in peak times

I too am on orange uk and tried this and experienced the same issue.
The solution is just reflash rom and radio (no wipe etc so data remains). That fixed it for me.
Also don't mess with *#*#...... settings
I'm still having this issue, maybe it is just the Orange network thats to blame? Seems to be to a number of us cropping up.
Gonna get back onto Customer Services this weekend, see what they say this time.
Same problem here. I'm on Orange UK too. Seems like an Orange network problem rather than a ROM problem
Saw this on my G2 Touch Hero on t-mobile when using villainrom 5.2. Not seen it recently and don't think its related to flashing 6.0.

Thought I'd update this.
Been living with the issue since posting, tried a few roms, all with the same issue.
Tried the latest radio, that didn't help.
Flashed EzHero rom few days ago and 3G has been working fine since! Don't know whats in this rom which might do that, it doesn't display the 'H' icon anymore which is the only visual difference. Might just be coincidence but either way glad its working consistently again.
I've had the same issue here on the other side of the pond in Canada on the Telus Hero. I think it has something to do with the phone trying to default to the fastest connection. I'm assuming the providers don't want us connected to the faster networks constantly, so they have a disconnect on idle response; which in turn is being counter-acted by our hero's need for speed. That is one theory, but I have to include that when I first got my TELUS Hero, before rooting and installing MaDaCo 1.5 I would have stable 3G connections. Any ROM installed following the root of my phone has caused this same dilemma.
This is a big issue on orange one which I have never got to the bottom of.
Now my phone seems to work 99% of the time but it always switches to H before downloading.
It might be something to do with Orange switching to new "next generation" towers. Apparently last time I phoned orange my phone was connected to two towers (only supposed to be one) so it was impossible to triangulate my exact position.
This might have something to do with it.
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
Pls keep reporting..

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....
Hey guys,
i have constant battles with my HD2 running Android. The mobile reception and logically because of that APN is also not workin properly.
Example: I'm at home and have full mobile-reception and internet is working flawlessly. One second later nothings workin... The reception display shows 4/4 lines and one second later 0/4. But i didn't move.. Same with WLAN and APN..
I guess it's not a "build problem", cuz i had this with lots of builds. So it's maybe a windows mobile thing. I have flashed 2.12.50 radio and chucky droid rom.
I tried 2.14 but my conversational partners had very strong echos. (with MIUI-Build)
I searched the forum and googled but i didn't find any solution for this..
Really need this to be fixed.
thx bench

I don't know a lot about android. But i had similar "echo" problems when i used a TMOUS based rom. I use miris 1.80 based rom with 2.14 radio in the uk on vodafone with no problems.
Miri Rom Here: http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2520
Have you tried a RMNET based android build. The data connection with those is slower but generally more stable. I use ppp but do get the data drop off. but turning the mobile data off and turning back on again sorts the problem.
It would probably better to post such questions in the android general section.

Same problem here. Signal drops quite frequently and for now i like the sense builds which you cant switch to 2G (unless im missing something). With other builds if i switch to 2G its sort of fine but slow data connection.
Same here, I live in holland and use the 2.14 Radio. I don't have a data plan yet (the phone is brand new), so it doesn't really bother me.. yet
we really do need a fix for this
Is nobody havin an idea?
Me 2
I´m having the same problem...anybody know a cure for this?
no problems here ... 2.10.5 radio
Same problem here,tryed different combo's with wm and Android,radio's etc......signal drops now and then.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Always signal drops here.. 35% of the time. Mesured with battery indicator.. only in Android not in winmo and I didnt find the right radio and rom for less drops.
Thats so strange. About every 10mins i have a totally data loss. Tried different radios and roms. Nothing helped. As i tried 2.14 i had strong echo issues.
i uploaded some screenshots. They're all taken at the same place. So you can see how strange these reception changes are...

Boy I'm glad to see this thread, I thought it was just me!
I am having exactly the same issue, and have done since using android builds. The only workaround I have is to switch on plane mode, and then switch it off again which seems to work for an hour or two. But then the signal goes all wonky again.
I wonder if this is also affecting the battery life. I'm sure I read somewhere once that loss of signal results in more battery use as the phone is constantly trying to locate signal.
I have tried a number of radio/rom combinations with no real change. As mentioned above, if I switch to 2G the signal seems more stable, but the data is unbearably slow.
I'm in the UK by the way.

I have the same problem. I might try the 10.2.5 radio as above?
I had this issue with Android that signal drops for no reason. The trick to my problem? Disable in the Netwok Mode "GSM/WCDMA Auto" and choose "GSM Only". Now the signal should work flawlessly without drops. It worked for me
sorry if I'm posting this again
but please I'm about to rip my precious hd2 to pieces because of the reception issues
see it happens like this
I'm standing INSIDE my home
watching the signal
as it goes from full to half to none to service un available
all of this happens while I'm standing watching my phones signal dangles
and I cant make calls longer than one minute and then the call is dropped
that is also while inside my home
when standing outside
the reception is most of the times fine
but the call quality is below average
there is drop outs and weird sounds
I tried different radios (2.10 and 2.12 and 2.15(stock))
I tried different ROMS (windows 6.5 and 7 and android)
I never dropped the phone
maybe the only thing I did was removing the battery from the phone alot because I was trying to flash android when I first got my phone
please Admins and Experts in this great forum
help me cuz I'm about to go crazy
my phone is a T-Mobile HD2 with a yellow reset button
current ROM : Rafdroid HD2
Current Radio : 2.15
Current state : Hunting for network and draining off the battery
thanks in advance
What was it like on original ROM !
you could try a T-Mobile Radio & matching rilphone.dll or flash newest t-mobile ROM complete with radio & test to see if firmware issue or hardware.
Is reception in/near your home known to be a bit weak ?
Aint the rilphone.dll a windows based file? If so how would that have an affect on android? Im also having a signal drop issue
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Well rilphone.dll is used in conjuction with the radio firmware, when in android it will not use the rilphone.dll so could cause issues for some users pending on network ect ect !
You are using droid ROM with Radio package designed for WM,just my thoughts.
thanks for replying
can you please post the links to a stock t-mobile rom and radio and a compatible rilphone.dll?
but I didn't have the chance to test it under the original win mo
but the reception was fine when I first bought it and I was using a non primary sim card in it
so I didn't really notice
but I travelled to another country
and started using it along with another sim from the same carrier in a nokia phone
the nokia gives full 3G coverage
while the HD2 is hunting for the signal
so any thoughts ??
I thought Android ROMs are known to have issues with 3G !? check thread of your ROM as may have info on this.
Have a look in HD2 wicki if you want stock ROM.
I use my HD2 worldwide, Thailand, Singapore, China, Japan, England, USA on Energy ROM (Dinik version) & radio 2.12.50 & reception works normally with 3G available when using SIM on 3G capable networks.
Android is still a bit buggy for some users & to be honest Android does not seem worth the hassle to me as a good WM6.5.x build set up well is far better.
thanks Mister B for the advice
I flashed the latest version of the stock WinMo on my device and it seems like nothing happened
still the buggy reception issues
seems like the antenna inside the device is not sensitive enough to receive proper signal because when I go to the roof of my house the signal is fine
but when I stay inside signal drops and comes back almost regularly
I just cant belive that this is a hardware problem
because since I got my phone I never dropped it
maybe the only thing I did was removing the battery while the phone was on a lot of times....
??? im so confused ???
I would like to add another thing
when I put my fingers on the bottom right corner of the device ( right behind the on off key ) the reception works flawlessly
and as soon as I remove my fingers it goes back the way it was
so this is a hardware problem right?
What was the ROM number & what radio was included in ROM ?
If you have warranty or insurance you could try getting a replacement.
Looking like it could be antena related !
RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
that's the rom installed for now
and I don't have insurance or warranty
I double checked that with htc care
I'm really really sad about this
..........
when i first got it i think it was working fine and i was flashing a bunch of different roms. then like a switch when i installed one random rom "core cell android nand" it had really bad reception.
it doesn't matter what i cant fix it, install or flash, i have crappy reception. i have put different sim cards where the "original phone had good reception" and still no change. i put my sim card in another phone and it has a good signal. i also tested it in a another hd2 and it 1whorked fine.
cant send it in, i bought it off of somebody.
hello together,
my beloved HD2 (EU Model) is subject to random (daily) reboots, no matter what kind of ROM I've installed (2.3.3, 2.3.5, 2.3.7, 4.0.4, w/Sense, nonSense). This morning I catched it rebooting. When I tried to wake it up (PowerButton), the ScreenSaver appeared, I unlocked the device, then it freezed, and after a couple of seconds it rebooted.
No I have attached my actual CATLOG. Any idea on what the reason could be??
I'm currently on the latest Energy (2.3.5, Sense 3.5) Build, with 5/200/5 layout and a 16GB SD-Card with 1GB SD-EXT.
Any help is much appreciated! Thanks a lot!

Hardware problem means? Memory (RAM) physically damaged? Have you ever had a similar problem?

Sorry couldn't stop myself.. Have a nice day
btw your logcat is clean, nothing wrong about hardware or anything about reboots..
could be bad blocks, boot your phone into the tri-color screen, attach the usb cable and ensure you have the "old" usb driver installed, you will find it on the definitive mtty thread for HD2, launch mtty, select usb in connection and press ok, a prompt comes up, type "info 8" without quotes (press enter ofcourse) and post the output here.
Oh, this is wrong section btw, thread reported.
Hello Rick, since I'm working with the same SDHC for at least 2 years, without formatting at any point, but with a lot of changes from ROM to ROM, I decided to reformat de SC-Card completely (with SD Formatter), and then install the ROM up from the scratch. Good or bad idea?

Hi Rick,
what does "Failed to find cpu subsys" mean? Nothing serious?
SIM Card related problem
Hello everybody,
Well...I'm suffering from the same problem you all are talking about here, random reboots (even in stand by).
I was researching here in xda, about this problem, and there's a lot of possible causes of this issue:
Overheating
Bad NAND Blocks
Motherboard soldering problems
Related problems with service provider signal and SIM Card
I can tell you that I suffer from overheating (playing games, youtube, browser, the back case gets very hot), and Bad NAND blocks (2 on boot partition, 1 on system and 2 on userdata) but it seems that's not the problem (for me).
I live in Chile and I have a T-MOUS (1700/2100 for HSDPA), I used to use it with movistar (850/1900) SIM Card for the last 5 months, but with no data plan due to the fact I could not use 3G here for bands incompatibility. I recently switched from provider, to Nextel (1700/2100), and voala, 3G started to work, and in the same time, problems with freezing, random reboots, high battery drain, etc...
I've tried a lot of solutions, like turn off automatic time and zone, auto backlight, manual network selection, etc, but none of these worked out. I was about to resign when I switched sim cards with my girldfriend for an experiment of signal-loss during one night, and the HD2 (with movistar and NO 3G) started to work again with no reboots, normal battery drain, etc...
For me the problem is the 3G data connection (I use ICS ROM from tytung, with RMNET, i tried PPP but I lose connectivity, no 3G). I don't know if theres a problem with the 3G itself or if the signal carries something that causes all the problems (I reed somewhere that T-Mobile once changed something in their signal and problems started to appear). I wish I could try another 3G provider, but here Nextel is the only one for my T-MOUS that opperates in the bands I need, so there remains the question.
Now I'm registered in another network (Nextel R), that is their 2G network, and I've data connection via EDGE, and it's working flawless as expected. I don't know if there's a fix for this problem or if I've to resign.
tom2lee, can you post your actual network situation and datablan etc, so I can compare the case with mine, maybe we can help each other.
Thanks
Hi Zaidor,
thanks for your descriptions! I'm living in switzerland, which is a very small country in the midst of europe (north of italy and south of germany). We only have 3 network carriers, where two of them are sharing the same infrastructure. I'm personally registered at the "Sunrise" network (www.sunrise.ch). This carrier offers the same network options as "Swisscom Mobile", the #1 carrier here in Switzerland. Depending on pricing plan you can have anything up to UMTS performance. For me, with a quite cheap plan, there's only remaining GPRS/Edge, which is enough for my daily sync needs. For the rest I'm sporting a fast W-LAN at home and at business site.
I also tried nearly every type of ROM, and I'm sure the problems wheren't there with the old froyo roms, some years ago...
But anyway, I'm now living with that I think, due to the lack of alternatives.
Be blessed!
Tom
Have u tried with a different CPU governor and a higher minimum cpu freq?
I use tytung ICS v2.5 rom, with PERFORMANCE governor, minimum 576mhz and maximum 998mhz...works, no freezes.
Try and give me some feedback
thanks
