No netwrok signal on hd2? - HD2 General

Hi, my Windows mobile HD2 all of the sudden is showing no signal. Could this be maybe a pin from the sim card reader or has someone seen something like that before??? I have an HD2 running android also and is working fine. So im thinking this could be a hardware program. I even downgraded the windows version to stock but it didnt work... Thanks!

1. Try another SIM card;
2. If dropped(or sit on it), it could be the 2 metallic pins(bent) from motherboard to GSM antenna(locate on external case);
3. Hardware problem(rarely, but possible).
Other than that, no more ideas...

ok before you go replace the SIM card, do this:
1. Sometimes turning the wireless connections off and then back on will resolve the issue.
2. Power phone down and back up
3. Make sure that Windows didn't decide to deactivate your phone's radios (aka airplane mode)
scroll to the end and hit wireless controls and make sure wireless connections and phone are set to on.

Try to install different version of Radio it might solve the problem.

Phone Not connecting to Network

Not sure if any of you guys here have faced this issue. But quiet often when I reboot my phone it starts up to the home screen and then doesn't connect to the wireless network, so basically i see the home screen and none of the buttons work, I remove the battery several times and suddenly it connects to the network.
Is this a known issue and is there a workaround?
I use the official windows mobile 6.1 rom released by HTC for the Sprint Mogul
I'm hearing two problems here:
1 - Your phone doesn't connect to the network. Have you tried to do a hard reset? That sounds like a software issue. Make sure you back up all of your cab files and contacts/mail/texts that you want to keep.
2 - Your buttons don't work. That sounds like a hardware issue and not necessarily related to the network issue. Have you brought it in to a Sprint store to see if they can repair or replace your phone?
i am also facing same problem, my mogul shows wifi on status but does not detects the wireless network, and after several on/off (through wifi on off hardware slider) it sometimes gets connected.
Please help
Its neither 1 or 2.
usually when you switch a sprint phone on you get a pop up saying "connecting to the sprint network dialing # 777" and after sometime, once the network connects then the phone is fully functional.
sometimes for my phone on rebooting it doesnt connect to the sprint network and as a result my phone remains unusable, in the sense the touch screen/buttons dont work. after several soft resets/battery removal it finally connects. I live in an area where there is good network connectivity!

OK, thanks. That gives me a much clearer picture. I don't think this is a network problem. You most likely have something on your phone that causes it to freeze during start-up. Did you install something new or make a registry change just prior to this starting? Also, would you be willing to either reflash or hard reset your phone? A new flash with a re-cooked or different ROM will most likely help you out.
which recooked rom would you suggest. I use the default windows 6.1 rom released by sprint. and btw I removed phone alarm from my phone and it starts up fine now.
There are a few great options, and it's personal preference.
Ryan has made some very good ROMs available here on the upgrade forum.
DCD's last public version are still widely popular.
TPLane37 has made some neat WM 6.5 ROMs available
There's also some good stuff going on over at ppcgeeks.com using the most recent build of WM 6.5
You can also try cooking your own ROM using the tools at ppckitchen.org
Make sure you read up on how to flash before you try it. The process involves a number of steps that must be completed in the proper order.

Gsm signal issue

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
did you guys see this other topic?

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....

[Q] (Question) No WIFI on HTC HD2 with WP7

Hi everybody,
I installed the WP7, everything seem to work, but no WIFI. Bluetooth works, voice works, camera and video..Everything but WIFI. It just says "searching.." but nothing happens.
DO I need to unlock the phone and use Cheveron to get WIFI? Can anybody help? I'm using Sandisk SD 2GB card.
**BTW
I'm from Israel, we don't have the WP7 here yet, so Microsoft IL don't even know what I'm talking about regarding the activation code. Sent mail to the US office, hope it'll go through.

this has been reported to be caused by an incomatible sd card. read HERE through the posts and you will find out more.
I think I read almost every thread possible regarding WP7 wifi. Looked there, will look again. Thanks.
Are you sure IT didnt work and your sdcard is compatible?
If yes try a low WLAN channel instead of a high one, i cant connect to my own WLAN if i use WLAN channel 11-13...dont know why
You could try removing your sd card and rebooting. Bear in mind it will essentially reset to default (new) install. And will format your sd card when inserted again. So be prepared to start from scratch.
Same with me, it found every other wifi except my own one. My solution was to switch off my phone, switch off my wifi. Then switch on my phone. Then switched on my wifi, and it found it.
Worked for me, with out taking out SD Card.

Had the same problem, phone could find other wifi but not my own. This solved it though.

Wifi was working on the most WiFi networks, except for mine.

[Q] HD2 Losing signal !!!

Hi everyone, i hope i'll find an answer cause i can't understand what's going on with my HD2 !
My hd2 keep losing signal, at first i taught it was a radio related thing, so i flashed a 2.12 radio (was on 2.15.40), but the problem is still there. So i decided to change the rom, cause the problem showed up after i installed a android sense rom (this one) i installed i miui stable rom, and still have it.
Here, i decided that the problem maybe came from my sim card so tried my wife's sim card (same operator) and another sim card (different operator) and it worked just fine, no losing signal at all.
So I've changed my sim card with a new one and the problem still occurs!!!!
Decided to flash a windows phone 7 rom, (just to be sure) and problem still there.
I can't understand what's wrong, i have this problem just with my sim card !!! any help please

Well, the problem can occuor from many sources. Older series of HD2 has a slight problem with reading some of the SIM cards. Did you tried to download and re-flash the radio rom into your hd2 because i have had the same problem with my HD2 as i have had O2 sim card which worked fine and 3G sim did not work well in my phone. I re-flashed the radio rom and it did work and i got the stable and normal signal, also you need to check if you use Android if MAGLDR 1.13 is also installed as this keeps the communication with Android ROM if you use NAND android. So let's try to download and re-flash the latest radio from here: http://www.multiupload.co.uk/QP0IWGY42F and flash it into your HD2 to see first if the problem occours. You can read about flashing your radio here:

If you still stuck with your phone, do not hesitate to PM me and i will find a solution for you.
Hi Iceman,
Thnx for your answer,
i did flash the lastest radio, magdlr is installed of course. Now i'm still on windows phone 7 and still have this problem. As i explained before, i have this problem only with my sim card even if i changed it with a new one. Other sim cards work's fine. However i'll give it a try with the link you give me and see if it changes anything.
Thank you again, and i'll get back to you soon
@ loupio
Please reply if the solution of Iceman helps.
Thanks
Nothing hlped i did every imagining solution but still have the problem
it could be caused by a hw problem (bent pins), if you are not scared to open your phone you should try the solution on this tread:

PS: Don't forget to say thanks!
All ready done that but the problem still there :s
I've noticed that when I hold the phone and put my hand over the bottom 2/3rds of the phone (where the antenna is) my signal drops by 2-3 bars. If I am in a location with poor reception and I hold my hand over the antenna, I will lose my signal altogether. Next time you are in a location that you think you should have a signal, but it drops, just hold the phone with your fingertips. Hopefully that will fix it.

I have similar experience and it's so disturbing
I wants to change a new sim card from my operator to eliminate the cause from my old sim card(>5 yrs.), because on my moto k1, the signal seems a little better in same condit.
I have the same issue however it hopefully was solved by the bent pin issue, i just did it now, before i would hold my phone and loose 2-3 bars, now i hold my phone with both hands and cant seem to lose any signal bars.
The problem is not loosing 2 or 3 bars my problem is that it loose's the network and show's 'no service' on the status bar. The network won't comeback till i do a reboot or activate/desactivate airplan mode

OP5 unable to connect wifi / sim card cannot found!

Hello there, as topic says, my one plus 5 lost sim card and wifi connectivity.
OS:
Android version 9
OxygenOS version 9.0.3
I have tried:
Unplug / plug phone and sim etc multiple times ( both simcard slots)
Soft / Hard reset
Bluetooth seems to be working, not sure tho
Reseting all network setups thingy
Dialing *#06 doenst show me any MEID/IMEI code
Sim card is ok, working on my Iphone 4
Found couple threads about some modem firmware thingy, idk.
I havent dropped phone to water or anything, just normal outside humidity if something.
Everything else working normaly exept random lags while trying to figure wlan working. I still have warranty on so I guess ill send phone back there before trying any rooting this? Imo this seems like software issue.
Or any advice what I should try?
