Hey,
Has anyone else had problems with their HD suddenly cutting of calls even though there is good network coverage? I can have 5 bars of network on the phone, receive a phonecall, talk for a while, then suddenly have the bars drop to 0 and the call being ended. It's getting really annoying at this point.
Also I think the speed of the surfing through network (gprs/edge/hsdpa) has slowed down; it feels as if it doesn't really establish a great connection with the network.
Please tell me you've had this problem and that it's a software issue that is fixable!
Its your 3g network that is dropping calls. I have same problem.
Go to settings, phone and then choose the band tab. Change network from Auto to GSM.
Solves all problems.
I have poor 3g in my home. At home I use gsm mode and when i go back out i switch to auto - 3g mode.
Or it might be because of an old SIM card. If you had yours for a couple of years for example, it might be time to ask for a new one.
i've actually had my sim card for ages, gonna try to order a new one and see if that solves it, thanks for the tip
Let us know!
got the HD and it droped calls all the time. My SIM-card was 5 years old. after changing it worked a lot better but not 100%. Solved that after disabling 3g (bad 3g rec at home), now it works as it should no more dropped calls.
You know.. it would be ideal to have an app that could be assigned to a button press that switches the 3g on and off without needing to go into settings all the time.
I don't use the 3g stuff all that often (mostly wifi) and gsm is fine for sending texts and making calls. Not so sire about mms though.
To be alle to switch it on and off would be ideal and could be used in conjunction with other software to schedule locations or times that would auto switch.
Anyone know of any thing?
i have got the same problem. I have sent my hd to manufacture on warranty. I still waiting on my phone, i let you know what is going on when it will be back to me.
P.S.
sorry about my english
Desperate
Hello to all,
I am having completly same issue with my touch hd.
Expierincing line drops, other side hear me badly or not at all. I tried to update radio roms to 1.09.25.35 and 1.10.25.25 , but ittis the same. Also tried updating ROM to DUTTY HD 1.7.,but it was the same. My network is MTS in Serbia.
Than, I changed finding netwotk to manual, and type of band to GSM (900+1800) UMTS (2100), same result . It looks that this helps a litlle, since I expierence less drops, but I am still unavliable sometimes. Also since my gsm card is 7 years old, I was adviced to change it what I did as well.
This brought even more results, but today, after 5 days of good work in one place (with good reception of 3G) I travell to another city, and you may guess, It started happen again.
All the way phone was loosing signal, calls were droping or even I was unable to make any calls as well.
I am so desperate, and will have to return it to a dealer, although it was my last option...
My was the same problem but it was fix
After I installed couples of upgrade my HD from HTC website and I recieved too many drop call so I uninstalled all the Hot fix . Now every work back to the normal way
Tried that as well, made 2 times hard reset, but no help.
Anyway I had only ine hotfix installed the one for keyboard lag.
I had imprssion in the begining that my problems started with new connection manager database (hotfix that was automaticly installed), but after hard reset everything repeated, so that was not the case....
Same problem here! Total nightmare, is there any possible fix for this or is it just poor quality gsm bits in the phone? Mine picks up such lower signal than any other phone ive had

Ryanmt, It looks that GSM module sucks...Everything else is superb, but, after all this is a phone, isn't it?
I reversed to original ROM (403 WWE), and RADIO ROM (1.09.25.14), removed HardSPL, and now waiting for asome bright idea to try...
I give myself 7 days before waranty claim...
CORRECTION: I left mine HD for warantty today (11.02.), will report on...
Mine went back for warrenty also. Mine went back due to a faulty screen but i noted down it had major signal issues too.
Have you had any update?
I am still waiting for mine. Don't know how long usually takes. Any expiriences?

Im still waiting now is 24th day, but i had sent by carphonewarehouse next time i will send straitgh to htc because cpw is not good.
24 days !? OMG, I hope I won't be that luck. I gave mysef my HD directly to official distributor (same place wher I have bought it) here in Serbia, this is 5th day since I have left it...
HTC told me 5 days from when they receive it.
Sent mine away also
I was experiencing the same problems, even when I had signal it was impossible to call someone(not always but it happends sometimes) and for some reason my FM Radio wasn't working.. I'll try to keep you all informed, if it helped to sent it back to htc..
sounds like htc might be collecting a nice pile of phones with the same symptoms. I wonder if that will prompt them to release a fix of some sort
Hello guys,
I had managed to flash the cyanogen Rom 7 #23 (on 19th march i guess) And i had noticed some very strange bug.
When i am phoning and i hold the phone to my ear, the display turns off (as usual) and suddenly the current reception to the phone provider broke. The telephony is interrupted and there is no connection anymore for a few seconds.
I also tried using a headset and i phone again. So as long the display is not turning off, I can still phone as long as it is turned on.
Is that some kind of bug or do i have to do some settings ? i cannot phone like that if somebody is calling me and i take the phone to reply something and display turns off and then the talk is over...
I am using vodafone D2 (it is in germany) But i doubt it has something to do with the provider.
I hope you might be able to help me.
Thanks in advance.
I've got the same problem. I also use my myTouch4g in germany with an 02 Sim Card. May be there is a problem with the provider.
Can anybody help us?

Sorry
I already used two builts of CM7 (12 and 30). And nether of them worked.
It is not the problem of the provider , i guess. It is more a kind of a bug i think - because if the display turns off, for example, you press the "POWER OFF" button shortly to turn your display off and press it again to turn the display on. You see, that the reception icon is sayin that it has NO reception and a few seconds later, it has found the connection.
I have tried flashing back to CM6 and it has no problem with that bug at all...
My xperia play randomly goes to no service then a few seconds later it goes back to full service. Has this ever happened to anyone else?
Sort of.
Right now I cannot get onto tbe android market or google maps. I can get onto google on opera and of course xda, im thinking its google. Reset doesnt help either.
If I find out whats the cause ill post back or pm.

That happens to me somewhat when I send MMS... but it comes out fine in the end... I don't know if that's the same issue with yours.
It used to do that a while back when I had just gotten the play, but now it never drops below 2 bars and always has 3g. I'm suspecting it has something to do with the enhanced 3g coverage upgrade they did in our area recently.
Sent from my R800x using Tapatalk
yeah. most of the time though, the zero signal comes when I wake my phone from sleep mode. other than that, full bars.
I did manage to get it working after some snooping. I went onto settings, applications, all, market and uninstalled the updates. Reverting back to the market I had when I first got the phone.
Ill mention that I messed about with download manager in the same directory in the settings, but I assume that rolling back the market did the trick.
Next day the same problem occurs, rolling back and clearing cache didnt help this time. Later In the day it fixed itself.
Im new to android so take what ive said with caution. At your own risk, but thought id mention as it could work for others. At the very least it could narrow your searching for a solution.
Hope it helps

Depends on the area where you are and the strength of your service.
For example theres a lot of interference at my job, to the point if I do any text messaging or facebook checking during the day my battery is near dead by the time I leave. However when I'm at home the battery will last all weekend if I don't play any games.
While I'm at work you will see it jump from 3G to nothing and back almost randomly and sometimes Facebook/market/etc work fine, other times they refuse to conenct for hours.
I get max signal at work, where I still had the problem. Signal wasnt my problem, I could get onto google through opera and on the xda app.

Settings/privacy settings/reset settings (NOT FACTORY RESET)
Resets all settings but leaves appa etc alone. I sync data with google so im not 100% what you might lose if you dont sync. For me the only change ive noticed is that now everything works as it should've.
The same problem keeps coming and going, im hoping that the above will work for me. Seems to be working, however if it doesnt ill post back.

It is a firmware problem, at least for people with R800i models. The update 3.0.A.145 (first 2.3.3 pre xLoud update) did not have any Wifi or phone drops. The xLoud update crippled the modem terribly, making it work horribly where there was no issue before...

Hmmm I have a R800a with the R800i firmware. When the phone goes to no service it does drop cell signal AND wifi signal to nothing. I hope they fix this soon.
Ok problems back for me...again...
Sorry, I kind of hijacked this thread. I will start my own (after some searching) as my problem seems to be with google apps.
I can get on the internet, opera and xda come to mind immediately. But google mail, maps and the market all refuse to connect.
Thanks and goodluck
(will post back if I find a lasting solution)

Think its working now...shouldnt have said (typed) that.
Either way thought id mention the latest solution thats working for me. Push the power button until you get the air plane mode option come up, put it into airplane mode, then turn off air plane mode. Turn the phone off, then back on, then with any luck it should work.
I have a funny feeling that the problem was due to an ota update, I also think the solution was an ota update. New to android so im not too sure sorry. Thought id post just incase though.
If I dont post back then my phones all working, or at least not suffering from this problem.
Goodluck
Dan.

Hello guys, i got my Note a week ago, and i have had som problems with the network operator signal. The problem is that phone loses signal every day, and after restart the signal comes back but after (30-40 mins) sometimes longer the signal disapears. It is very annoying. First i thought it was a problem with the sim-card but after testing it on another phone it worked just fine. I never had this kind of problem before, and i dont no what to do. My operator is (Telenor Norway). Thanks for the help.
PS: Sorry if my english is bad, i tried my best
Is it phone signal completely or just data? I have had data connection problem with my SGS2, with factory reset it went away. But I always had my basic phone service.

I had the same issue (only with data connection) and solved it choosing manually the network instead of automatic in settings. No loosing of signal in three days in a row. I hope it helps!
It is the phone signal completly, i did try to set up connection manualy but i did not help. Tho i did not try the factory reset, going to try it now and see what happens. Thanks for the both suggestions.

I have the same problem. Since the day I got my Note, I experienced both phone signal lost and 3G/2G data signal lost. Also tried factory reset and changing data to manual mode but still getting the same problem. Sometime it is the 3G/2G signal lost and some other times both phone and 3G signal lost.
The big problem here is that the moment the signal is lost, it will not automatically resumed. You never noticed it because the phone signal bars is still there running fine up and down. You thought it is okay but in fact no body can call you. You only get to notice it the time when you tried to dial a call out then only you discovered that there is no call signal. Too late - you may missed many important and urgent call !
To get the signal back, the only way is to soft reset your Note.
I get around with the above problem by installing an app called "No Signal Alert" it is free. This app will play a sound and vibrate when there is signal lost.
There's plenty of different radio for note. Try find them in the development section

Hi thehackersz,
Thank you for your feedback. I have done a search on the development section but all the discussion looks confusing to me. I do not know where to get started.
Please help !
what happen finally???i have the same problem with different roms and now with ics????is there any solution??
Hey everyone,
I have a regular GS4 and haven't changed anything, stock firmware, stock rom, not rooted. So I have the problem when I have a phone call, after like 1 minute the person on the other side can't hear me anymore for like 3-4 seconds and this repeats every 3-5 minutes. First I thought its because I was in a building, but this happens everywhere and also with full signal strength.....so what is the problem?
Everything else works fine, but this is realy annoying because this is really on every call.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Strange problem, maybe it's network related? Try flashing another modem. Google modems for your model of Gs4

Please... DO NOT flash anything... Check if Your problem persist with Your SIM and another phone and Your phone and another SIM (from different network). If it's phone related - go to service and do not play with modems as it won't probably change anything.
Actually, yes. As slig said, if your phone isn't rooted then it's best to take it to your carrier or to samsung under warranty.
