Hi everybody,
I'm living in Egypt and back when I had NoDo the network signal stregnth was weak on some places I used to be in and when I installed the Mango RTM I was very pleased to find that the network is much better covered and I didn't lose any call at all.
Now with this original official Mango I don't know what happened, the same behaviour with NoDo and the network coverage is weak again.
I suspect that Samsung puts it's own drivers in the official Mango and those are worse than the Microsoft ones.
Also the Battery life with the RTM was around 3 days and 10 hours and some times more and now with the Official it's the same as NoDo 2 days or less.
What do you suggest and would I get back to the RTM one if I want to without the Backup as I don't have one but I have the original 7004 Roms?
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
I've got an M3100 flashed to the SA Tytn ROM and after recently it seems to have had problems staying on a network. When I start it up it finds the network and connects for a while but then looses it (the exclamation mark next to the signal indicator) and refuses to find it again. The only way to get it to connect is to go into phone settings and tell it to refresh the network.
Any ideas as to what could be causing this?
Many thanks!
I was having a similar problem with my new Jasjam (HT 647xxx).
The factory installed ROM had a radio version 1.21.31.10 and the rom date was 8th september 2006.
Quite strangely the latest ROM available on the i-mate site is dated 21st July 2006 and has a radio version 1.07.03.10.
Since I have downgraded to the ROM available on the i-mate site it seems my problems are over. Maybe the ROM you have installed has a faulty radio rom.
Regards
Well I've got 1.18.00.10 as my radio version and I've had it for a while without any problems.
Just a couple of very routine things to be sure of (perhaps before going into Radio versions etc)
1. That the device is set to best performance not best battery under the network settings
2. The range is not great for wifi 10-15 metres at best so just to be sure your in good range. I know when I'm on the periphery of signal it connects fine but drops signal fairly often.
Cheers

Sorry, I should have made it clear that the problem is with the cellular network.
Sorry to bump this, but has anyone got any ideas? A full reflash of the device doesn't seem to have done anything so I'm beginning to worry that this is a hardware problem...
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.
I have a Focus from ATT, unlocked and upgraded to Mango. I really have slow 3g speeds...no matter what hack I use, no clue why...on initial NoDo it was faster...
Is there a generic WP7Rom for Samsung?
Is running Rogers ROM more friendly to the European carriers?

While Rogers Rom is the cleanest and most close to the "stock" Focus rom, if you have an AT&T I suggest you stick with that. Both behave the same with EU carriers, I've tested both.
If your phone is originally on AT&T, you should know that all updates are released by the original phone carrier. Zune passes the phone's IMEI to MS servers, which according to their database, it's on AT&T. Even if you flash Rogers rom, your updates will still come from AT&T.
As for speed, they're exactly the same. Customization is different and as I said, Rogers is cleanest. If you don't care about unlock, you should probably stick with Rogers.
3g speed
I read and read, all hacks done...still 16-18ko/sec...less than EDGE.
I asked the initial question because everything seems out of pace with the ATT rom, GPS data and so on... on NoDO it was behaving great, maybe I should stick to it

What you can do, is go to Diagnosis, and make note of the settings in Mango (I suggest a camera for this). Then go back to NoDo (restore) and compare those. Tedious, but if there's a difference that's where you'll find it.
WTF?
It seems that the WP7 doesn't get well with data connections
Results with T-Mobile in Hannover (No H+ signal):
The same SIM card:
Samsung Galaxy s2 7Mb/S download 1.9 upload-
Samsung Focus Rogers: 0.014 M down 0.01 up
HTC HD7: 1.42 down 0.01 up
Went to O2 store, tried OMNIA7 demo with my sim card---slooowwww
Is the 3G sign supposed to change into something if it gets 3G+?

Not by default. You'd need to edit registry for it to show 3G+ or install Advanced config. and tick a box there.
As per 3G speed, I also have an AT&T Focus and, although it shows 3G+ most of the time, it certainly is slow. I thought it is caused by 3G range frequencies with AT&T not being the same as with Russian providers. But since you report Omnia is behaving the same way I don't know what to think.
Edit. I also suspect Internet Sharing effecting my 3G connection. I think 3G speed was better before I've enabled Internet Sharing.
I really don't know what to say about this issue, it is quite strange.
In the first day I got the Focus, I popped the SIM card inside to take it for a drive ( before rolling back to 7004 to hack it and then Nodo) it behave OK with the internet speed ( I noticed bing and IE were fast). I flashed the 7004 ATT rom and updated to Mango. Then I noticed that it crawls when getting apps from Market place. I tried too install Angry Birds(20 mega) and there were 1% increments every 20 seconds or so. I got puzzled and double checked the web and XDA for info...it is slow as a snail compared to my other phones no mater what I did. I know that this could be subjective also, but really? .01megs/sec?
I am thinking of flashing only the radio from an Omnia7, someone reported that he flashed the whole ROM and it was OK except some buttons were upside down.
Anyway, 2100 3g+ should be the same everywhere... I think that the protocols ( like handshaking,wtc) inside the radio differ among carriers overseas...
Samsung should post a generic ROM for this device....
Hi all,
Have tried searching around for a couple of nights now and can't find anything relating to this so please don't flame me if I've missed this elsewhere
HTC HD2 - been running various flavours of Windows Phone 7 since its release - currently running the latest pdaimatejam 7.8 and very happy bunny I was with it too - until this Monday when one of the local [Edinburgh] Vodafone 3G masts went down and I ceased to get any signal whatsoever on the HD2. Tried changing from 3G to E and from automatic to search for networks - finds nothing. Go outside my house and it finds the network again but its patchy. Anyway, think I've ruled out the SIM. Have reflashed the ROM a couple of times to no avail and was hoping to flash back to a stock 6.5 ROM to 100% rule out any issue with the ROM.
However... boot the HD2 to the MAGLDR bootloader and set to USB flashing [as I would to flash a Windows Phone 7 ROM] but the RUU utility won't connect. Comes back with a 246 Error. Now its been a *long* time since I used the RUU utility from this laptop - can't recall if I did or didn't ever use it while running Windows 7 Ultimate, but I certainly haven't since I did a clean install of Windows 8 Pro a few weeks ago.
Anyone got any ideas on how/if I can get the RUU utility working in Windows 8 so I can test this further? Found some posts the other night which suggest that I may be able to reflash back to 6.5 from an SD card so it may not be essential but haven't tried that yet...
Thanks in advance,
David

LOL, had just logged back on to declare myself a divvy
Figured that out for myself after some more hair-pulling fun! Turns out its defo not down to the radio or rom at least, which means its either Vodafone's network [my guess] or the phone hardware [which I see as less likely as outside my house it generally works OK]
Still, good wee refresher for myself on flashing and re-flashing
Thanks again for the prompt response - much appreciated!
Cheers,

sometimes the simplest things are the easiest to overlook.
I would likely agree with you that its probably the voda network, with a mast out, and the phone working outdoors.

Spoke to them again this morning and turns out that of the 4 masts they have in the central Edinburgh area, 3 of these are currently down. No estimated fix timescale and nothing but a vague promised to refund line rental for the period out of connection. Not a happy bunny LOL
Hi
For a very long time I've been having signal problems, it just suddenly stops working and I have to reboot to get any signal back (airplane mode on and off doesnt work).
Its a GT-I9505
4.4.2
Goldeneye Rom
Greetings
which network? might be a local network issue?
I'm with 3, and although officially their website says that there's no planned maintenance in the area, i quite often drop signal when I'm at work recently, even though it's worked fine until now. I think a lot of people on various networks get the occasional network issue though. I think companies are constantly "upgrading" things, leading to network outages. I don't know why they don't just leave things alone. I used to have perfect signal on t-mobile when it was 3g, but as soon as they changed to ee and started to move to 4g, I got no signal, ever....that's why i switched to 3 in the first place, but now that they're "upgrading", same stuff again!
Its not the provider, know a lot of people on the same company and only me and my brother (same phone same firmware) are having this problems.
I read it coul be the 4.4.2 firmware, but dont know if only updating would fix it.
I had this problem on an earlier version of a cyanogenmod nightly. Most likely is your custom rom causing it. You said it yourself. Both you and your brother, same rom, same phone. Try a different rom or different version of the same rom.
