Hello All.
I open this topic because I can't find another one about the same problem...
I loose the signal many time per day (sometimes 1 or 2 times per hour)
With the latest official ROM : I loose signal and I must enter pincode to reactivate phone.
With ALL other ROM (from 1.5 to 2.1... I tried a lot of them....)
I still loose signal, but, without having to pass trough the pincode screen to reactivate the phone.
- sometimes It found signal alone
- sometimes I must enter/exit airplane mode to find back the signal
- sometimes I try to enter airplane mode but the phone never stop loading airplane mode and I have to reboot the phone.
This bug appears when I'm in an area with a low signal, or after sending 5-6 sms or making 1-2 calls in a short time.
I'm with the latest Radio JU. (I re-flashed It many times)
I have this bug, since I bought the phone. And I'm waiting for the famous "update" since October...
With every New ROM I hope It will work and It makes me waiting for the official. But none of them really worked...
Am I alone in this case ? I never heard something like that (I heard about the low strenght of the signal reception, but not a bug like me)
Must I bring back the phone to the shop ? Or the next update will do something ?
It really does sound like there's something physical wrong with your phone. I have never had any problems like this, and i havent heard of anyone else that had that same problem.
I'd take the phone back under warrenty (remember to flash original ROM so you lose root access if your phone is rooted) and get it fixed or swapped for a new one...
hmm really does sound like a problem specific to your phone.
to be honest I've never had this problem.. and I would suggest that your inability to find anyone else with this "bug" would mean nobody else has either.

Thanks for you answer, you confirm what I suppose : hardware problem.
I'll wait for the official update, I'll try a rooted version .
If there is still the problem I flash the official one.
And after that if it is'nt better , I'll bring it back to the shop (It's under warranty until September).
Hello everyone;
I flashed the latest official 2.3.5 last night. Missed three calls afterwards, as if I was not connected to GSM network. I was at home and signal was stable as usual. Anyone else noted unusual GSM behaviour?
Cheers
----------------------------------------
UPDATE: In order to better understand this issue, it could be interesting to know which service providers are being used; in my case, TMN in Portugal.
One week before flashing this ROM, I started using 3G, so I'm not sure if these missing calls are as result of the ROM change. I'm going to switch back to 2G for daily use and see how it goes.
Yes, if you search you will find other users with the same problem.
happens also with the other beta roms.

It happens to me too unfortunately.. can't tell the reason why. GSM status seems ok.
I confirm this missing call issue.
People when ring me the first time they go straight to voicemail and only get connection on second try.
I think the only way to solve it is Huawei but there is not point of trying to speak to them and they just won't listen for what people say to them.
I can confirm this is happening to me too....after reporting all was well this was one of the things I didn't test out.
Weird thing is that I called my mobile from home and both went straight to voicemail...
yep.
but if you immediatly make a 2nd attempt you get connection
OK try this...
Turn off phone... re move battery and sim card.
Replace battery and start phone without sim card and boot up.
Unlock phone and open any app (doesn't matter just do something)
Turn off, remove battery, replace sim.... boot up again.
Just called from my wifes mobile phone and my phone rang OK.... will test further but that seems to have done the trick for now.
I got the same problem and so far nothing i did solve it... Just missing reinstall the rom again and see if wasnt any bug i got while installing... I don't see too many ppl with the same problem and i don't belive huawei had so many diferent hardwares in a single mobile phone model according with all the different ppl have with different phones.
I also have this problem with the new firmware. My phone doesn't connect to the network upon powering on.
I have to manually connect it, by going into the Mobile networks settings. Once i'm in that menu, it connects.
druida_69,
I can confirm that does not happens every time, I tested from other phone I only on the sixth call I got the ring... Worst, during this time I made a call without problems.
The question is on reception...
Sent from my U8800 using XDA App
this issue is killing me.
when I have the device disconnected or in a cal, when someone try to ring me and can't I always receive a message informing that the xxxx number tried to ring you at that time bla bla bla.
no calls
The same thing happened to me... also tried many things without success... downgraded to 2.2.2 (B138) problem solved...
I'm getting tired of huawei's poor support and buggy updates!!!
To be honest i don't know if this start to happen after or before installing geno‘s OC Kernel.
I can confirm that this happens when the phone stays for a long time inactive. Try not playing with you're phone gore 20 minutes or so and then try to ring youselves.
Its like if the phone entering in a zen deep sleep....
Same here
Started after updating to 2.3.5, anyone tried the updated 2.3.5 from Huawei? it removes the pink screen I heard, but maybe it fixes this issue
F****** Huawei. Just realised that I have this bug too with latest 2.3.5 release... I think that it's data dependent. If you turn them off it connects ok...
I didn't realize until I read this thread, but I have the same problem!
I'm over it, I'm going back to Oxygen until I can buy a new phone, and will probably never buy huawei again.
I had this problem initially but since I booted up without sim card and boot up again with it in hasn't been a problem...I've had to test this on a few different phones & reboots now and everything is fine....

Didnt worked with me
HI ALL, Im pretty new here. after so many tries finally i was able to install cm7.1 on my defy. but im facing some issues. before the installation i forgot to take a back up of the existing ROM so if i have to go back to the previous ROM how to do that? and also there is no network coverage after the installation. please please anybody help!!!!!!
Have a vibrant myself but I'm helping a buddy get cm7 on his defy and after flashing didn't have a network signal. I looked at the cm7 install guide and it referenced a defy base band switcher app for better coverage. Had him try that and he got his data connection back. Might want to look into it or read the guide.

If your previous ROM was stock that came with your phone, flash the corresponding SBF file from the sticky on the Dev section to go back to stock. If it was some other custom ROM, wipe data/factory reset in CWM and flash the old ROM. Make backup of your apps using Titanium Backup if you want.
For CM7 network issues, choose the correct baseband from Defy Baseband Switcher. For India, pick anything that is 900/2100MHz...
Also, make sure you have read as many guides and First Posts on important threads as you can. Here is a collection of good threads you can read for these questions, and more that you might get later:

Hello! Noob here as well.
I installed CM7.1 stable on my Defy (running 2.2.2 foryo) 2 days ago.
All went well, except that network connection is lost after a couple of minutes after boot. Sometimes it takes an hour or two but I still end up with no connection.
I've googled everything about it in the last days. I played with the Baseband Switcher and although most options in the BB Switcher work right after a reboot, it still looses the signal after a couple of minutes.
One thing I noticed, when the signal is lost, trying to set the "Airplane mode" will fail. If trying to set Airplane ON - the notification icon will not replace the signal icon and will also be unable to set Airplane OFF (since it didn't finish turning ON).
I also noticed that if I force stop the "Dialer" system app, then the Airplane notification ico shows up, but still there's no way to turn it OFF (it's disabled in the menu). After a reboot Airplane can be set OFF and everything works for another small period of time (..until baseband crashes again?).
Hope it makes some sense. I'm quite sure this is not an operator issue or hardware related, since my Defy worked just fine before CM7.1
Also, I am located in Romania, operator is Orange.

I have the same issue, except that it is much rarer (ranging from every other day, to even a month between such incidents). It can also be triggered sometimes when I turn off Wi-Fi and the device tries to regain mobile data connection (not sure if it matters, but I set the network mode to 2G on my phone). The battery drain is increased if this occurs without the user noticing - the phone seems to search in vain for the signal.
Using the latest SEA baseband on M1 (Singapore).

I get this problem too. Happens every so often when I'm at work. I've always put it down to a bad signal where I work but as I always turn the wifi of before leaving home it could be down to that. If anyone has any solutions it would be great
Ok, a little update on this:
At the office now, further playing with the Baseband Switcher, I ended up selecting "Italia RT 2.51.1" which has the same 900/2100 freq that my operator requires and it seems to work. Even getting 3G.
If "2.51.1" is some sort of protocol version, then all the other options I've tried were either 4.x or 3.x or even 2.21.x ..and none of them worked for more then 30 minutes.
Also, not sure if signal strength has something to do with this because I did a test, going to the basement of my office in order to loose signal, then back up and it worked - got the signal back, without reboot or anything.
Also, I would really appreciate if someone could explain in a few words what those version numbers mean (ex: "Italia RT 2.51.1"), as I know nothing about gsm bands and protocols.
UPDATE: Back home, lost signal again, after a whole day without any problems. Funny.
UPDATE 2:
So after much google searching and trying literally every option in the Baseband Switcher, I switched my SIM card with a friend's SIM and guess what.. IT WORKED! Even more, when I inserted my original SIM into the other phone after a few minutes it lost signal, too! It was a faulty SIM, that has just started to "die".
Conclusion:
- Keep playing with that Baseband Switcher until you get something that works for you.
-Make sure your SIM is working properly in other phones, otherwise ask your operator to replace it.
Thanks and hope this helps.
ZeDevil did you try using other Basebands to see if you get better battery life ?

Not really. As long as you have a working Baseband selected (with correct frequencies) I don't think it matters.
But overall CM7.1 has better battery efficiency then stock ROMs, or at least that's what I felt.
update:
Well, I had a play with the baseband switcher, realising i was on 'international'. I switched to uk t-mobile and from there it seemed to work much better. A slight blip at work today (think it's a bit of a signal black-spot though) but restarted and it seems fine again. I've also just realised it's gone 37hrs since its last charge too
Strangely my other problem, the backlighting on the soft-keys not working, fixed itself at the same time. dunno if these two things are linked or not?
i use the CEE one.
Hi,
I have been running Quarx2k the defy+ 11.05.2012 Nightly since it was uploaded.
However I am from time to time having problems with SMS's not getting sent and two times (I only make calls a few times a week) I have had the phone audio "stop" - Meaning that the counter keeps going, but the audio cuts off. I can't even hang up the call, only rebooting phone seems to help.
I have 2G/3G, so could network switching be a problem?
Have anyone else had similar problems? Did you manage to solve them?
I would like to update the wiki (Where sms and phone is listed as working perfectly).
I have the same problem with sms in CM9-NIGHTLY-120526-Defy+ (Quartz).
Failure in the first shipment of the messages, and sends it on the second attempt. I don't know how fix this problem

Please do 2 steps, check and give a feedback:
1. in widgets settings for network change from default 2G/3G+2G to 2G/only 3G/3G+2G, change your network through widget to 2G/3G
2. baseband switcher - switch to the latest for your region and reboot
hiya...
i'm posting this thread because i've been struggling to get some help with this issue. i.ve googled for any fix but didnot find one...
motodefy on CM7
just unlocked my motodefy which was locked on orange before(unlockcode used),
i am now using a 3uk sim... 3uk settings is there in the APN
problems:
1.hangs when i am in the middle of a call ( cant here anything/cant do any call/ and cant receive any call) handset does not hang coz am able to move between menus, open and use apps)
2.after it hangs i cannot use data I.e download, google store coz that one freeze as well.
3. sometimes when its hangs, i cannot end the call (like if the dialer hangs is frozen, i press the end call button, it says hanging and it stays like that, but sometime it hangs the call !
4. the signal icon and the 3g/H icon is on the status bar, but they dont react.
5. i reboot everytime i have this issue... someime comes back online very nicely( with signal/3G/H icon showing on the statusbar) and some time it doesnt (meaning the signal is there but not the 3G/H) ... when it does come back online nicely ... i start to use some data... example i am using google play, it will let me download some apps .. but eventually it will stop working in the next 5 mins ??? and after this again i will not b able to call blablabla ... same stuff as above ...
ANYONE, OTHER THAN ME EVER HAD THIS WEIRD ISSUE WITH THEIR DEFY BEFORE ??
Try wiping all data/cache in recovery
hi,
why dont you try wiping away all you data from the recovery mode and then reboot it once again.
Thanks
oh.. u know i like changing/trying roms ...eventually at first when i had this issue i did a factory reset/wipe from the recovery and installed the cm7 again but its a persisting issue ... i just took to 3uk shop .. they told me they cant do anything coz its not a 3 handset their customer service was not able to help me either ... i am really really desperate to get it fixed ....
No problem if i use an orange sim
i would like to point out that i do not have any problem when i am using an orange sim in my defy ... callss/txt .. unfortunately no credit to try data but i can surf a bit of orange pages without any trouble ... why is it like that with 3uk
I don't know the reason, but sometimes I had this type of problem with my Defy (green lenses) and CM7. After a hardware issue I take it to the service and they replace the whole main body. So now it has red lenses and I switch to a CM9 nightly ROM (CM9-NIGHTLY-120613-Defy+ from Eclypse3). Don't know why, but my problems with the calls hangups and connectivity solved.
Thank you for your help everyone ....although i am in uk am able to use the Vecton sim with USA baseband its on trial for the moment .. we'll see if theres a glitch i'll keep updating
Questions go in the Q&A section
Issues sorted..
Ragarding to my post above ... i managed to work aroung this issue ....
just have to set scaling to Conservative and enebling all modules in cpu settings in revovery...
Can be closed now Thanks
