Dropped calls from my X1

Hello guys,
I just got my X1 (Generic_UK) few days ago, and i was shocked by the poor reception or i might say the dropped calls by the phone.
In fact each conversation the phone was managed to dropp the call by itself after 2 -3 minutes maximum, so i had to call the other party all over again.
I updated the firmware to R2AA010 yesterday and switch the network to GSM only, and that didn't fix this problem, and i also used my friend's card (different carrier and end up with same result)
Any one can help me with this issue ? if I'd never fix this problem , I'd definetly sell it out.
Thanks.

probably won't help, but my phone shows exactly the same behaviour.
i am on a 1800 GSM network.
an update of the radio rom to the newest version that is available here on the forum did not help.

TBH this sounds like a phone fault... mine works flawlessly and now that I have 010 ROM its even better... are you in a very remote area? if not perhaps its a fault and you might need to take it back?

The HTC Touch HD seems to be affected by exactly the same problem. (link)

Strange
Well, I'm running the Voda X1i but flashed to Generic UK R2A_10. I have had nothing but perfect calls, only 1 call dropped but I don't think it was my fault because my signal was max.
It's true the signal is often low, I keep it next to my iPhone which is also on voda and comparatively the iPhone has better signal, but the sound quality in my iphone is appauling and in comparison, when I make a call on my Xperia it's like the person is standing next to me.
I have put up with the BS from my iPhone for too long, as well as the horrendous echo that anyone that calls me suffers from and invariably complains about and refuses to call me.
If you're in a good signal area and you're still getting problems on R2A_10 i'd recommend returning it for a replacement.

X1 definitely has serious reception problem.
I am not taking about the number of bars but off and on signal are comepltely gone and it will start searching for a network.
I have tested this by putting the phone on the table and by observing the signals bars over a long period of time. Often I have noticed full signal bars and many time there are not signals at all.
Service is weak in my area but none of my pervious mobiles have shown such a poor reception.

Stuck on EDGE with CyanogenMod 5.0.2 until reboot

I just flashed CyanogenMod 5.0.2 for the first time last night, according to the instructions on the wiki. Before that, I was using the N1 with Google's OTA update and had 4 full 3G bars at work.
After flashing CM, I noticed that at home, the phone dropped to EDGE. I didn't mind that much, and drove to work, and at work the phone was still on EDGE. I had to reboot for it to use HSDPA.
Has anyone else seen this kind of behavior where the phone gets stuck on EDGE even though it gets in an area that T-Mobile lists as "best 3G coverage"? This seems like a regression in CyanogenMod vs. the stock ROM.
PS: I can duplicate the signal drop while holding the bottom of the phone with my hand.

There have been many reports of this issue in the bay area. It's probably a network issue.

maybe you should start a poll.
I have this problem. I thought I solved it by going to network operators, but my when i lose H(3G) and it goes to E it wont go back... i too am in the bay area.

Remaining stuck on EDGE with CyanogenMod only

Connectivity issues aside, in the same Bay Area, with the stock ROM, the Nexus One would go back to 3G when 3G was available. Now, with CyanogenMod 5.0.2, once it switches to EDGE, it seems to stay on EDGE until you reboot (or maybe until you toggle plane/flight mode, I haven't tried that).
I've added a poll at badnewswrx's suggestion.

It's not just the Bay Area. It happens to me in the San Fernando Valley as well. I don't think it's specific to this release of CM 5.0.2, I think it occurred on my stock N1 before I ever rooted it. Either way, it occurred in beta 4 and 5 as well.

i wonder which side the problem is happening. Tmo or Google/HTC, or maybe CM5.0.2?
I would guess Tmo, the rom was running fine with great 3g or H coverage. not any better than stock for me though. Im thinking we will have to force the 3g until something clears up

With my stock ROM, I did not have this problem. The OTA update didn't improve the 3G/EDGE flip issue for me, but the phone wouldn't be stuck on EDGE.
UPDATE: With CM5.0.2, I got one case this morning where the phone remained stuck on EDGE even though it was in an area (at my workplace) where it had HSDPA all the time before flashing CM. This evening, it switched among EDGE an HSDPA, and now it's on EDGE, even though I'm at home, in an area with maximum T-Mobile 3G coverage.
Nasty hard to reproduce issue.

hmmm.....
H now...........
speed test at 1030, in an area where i had no H lets see how long this holds up
3 mins later drop to E

I only had this problem with the ERE27 radio. Never had it with stock, and don't have it with the newest one.

Hope we can figure out what the issue is, manually switching to force 2G and back to 3G as a workaround is quite annoying.

For me its quite easy to reproduce.
- Force phone in 3G
- Make a call (data disconnects)
- After the call it goes into 2G and gets stuck there until I reboot the phone or force 3G again with *#*#4636#*#*

Here are the screen shots and the scenario
Rebooted the phone had 2G already, never went to H

Then Forced 3G
As you can see I do have a strong 3G signal here but stuck on EDGE/2G

Just came across something, After I had forced 3g, I received a call, I noticed that my H symbol was still on, so i decided to go on the browser, and it did! I went to 3 different pages, they were bookmarked.
I thought tmobile didnt have talk and data simultaneuosly (lol). Anyway my phone is still on H, seems pretty decent bars, if i notice a drop into E which will happen sooner or later, then ill let you know if it goes back into it.
just thought i should share, btw, am i late knowing about the talk and data thing???

Is there a reason why I only get 2G right after reboot in a 3G area?
This is bothering the hell out of me.

Since my last post earlier today, I have dropped to e once. I'm on h now and even forced into e and back out and it selected h by itself. I hope it stays like this. I haven't done anything to fix the problem so to me its looking like a tmo service issue.

T-Mobile morons have no idea what I am talking about. Talked to 4 different people and even at their highest tier support.
I am about to smash this piece of **** against the wall so Asurion can send me a new one since they won't send one unless its broken.

3G supports simultaneous voice and data; 2G does not.

Stuck on EDGE again
It just happened again - the phone was on EDGE. I toggled airplane mode and now it's on HSDPA. Obviously, I haven't moved it, and I'm in an area which T-Mboile claims to have maximum coverage.
Signal strength: -87 dBm 15 asu

This has has nothing to do with Cyanogen's rom. It's T-mob. to confirm, I changed my sim to my G1 and the same thing happens. I was in test mode and the phone dropped from UMTS to GPRS. I was in a call when this happened. I see the exact same thing on my N1.

[Q] TMOUS Branded HD2 - "No service" upon waking, lots of calls going to voicemail.

[Q] TMOUS Branded HD2 - "No service" upon waking, lots of calls going to voicemail.
I've noticed this with a lot of builds - I came back to the HD2 after the whole "NAND" revolution so I can't say if this really happened before then or not.
When I wake my phone I am seeing a lot of times where "No Service" is displayed on the screen but it almost immediate then switches to T-Mobile.
I am also noticing that even with good signal here in the office a lot of my calls go to voicemail without ever waking the phone. I get a ring or two (if I am lucky) then straight to google voice.
At the moment I am running MDJ's CyanogenMod 2.5 and the latest HTC released radio (don't have the number in front of me). This problem has been seen though with various ROMs that I have been running. I've tested it numerous times from my desk phone at random times throughout the day - at least half of the calls are going to voicemail at one point or another without having ever rang the phone.
Oh yes - effective yesterday morning I am not overclocking my phone either.
Is anyone else experiencing anything similar? I can understand going to sleep when the screen is not on, but this is ridiculous! If I slept that hard the alarm would never wake me LOL!

I've noticed that too. I'm on a Tmo USA HD2 with MDJ CM7 2.5 also.
I looked at the new expanded details of cell standby under the battery usage tab. My phone says it's not had signal 30% of the time. I normally don't have issues missing calls or emails at home, though I'm not in a super strong signal area. It'll be interesting to see what it is at work, where I'm literally right under the cell tower with full signal strength. If I'm showing no service there and a high percentage of time without signal, I will know something is wrong.

I'm seeing 40% myself - WOW - I guess tonight when I get home (I've got balls-to-the-wall signal there) I'll check to see how it does there.
I didn't realize that feature was there with 2.3 - good to know!
Anyone else have anything to throw into the mix?
Thanks!

wow...I'm showing 49% for just under 2 hours of 'on' time...so I've been without signal for almost an hour...something is wrong here...

Last night at home I had no issues with signal drops - here at the office in 2 hours 25 minutes I've seen 23% without signal.
I'm really curious now if it Gingerbread is just more sensitive or if I really have no signal that often across the board with all ROMs here in the office.

I am constantly bouncing between H and Edge, and have noticed a lot of signal drops, but the only last a few seconds. I might try to turn off 3G and see what that does. what radio is everyone running? I'm on 2.15.50.14...
AND...if I want to try a different radio, how do I flash it now that I don't have WM6.5 anymore...I always initiated the flash in WM...

nevermind on the radio thing...figured it out...

Same radio here.

I just flashed 2.10.50.26 to see if it is any better. I have had this issue for a while, but don't seem to remember it when I first started with Android. For me, it is not a Gingerbread thing, since I only recently started using Gingerbread, and I have had this issue for a long time.

My phone has a similarly high percentage of time without a signal, however I have not noticed any calls going to voicemail and everyone that has had to call me has been able to get through.

try to switch to gsm signal only (using 2g network)

I am having the same problem. My radio is same as yours 2.15.50.xx
Same network as my sister's Google Nexus One, but when we have our phones sit beside each other, mine has no signal while hers has full bars. I have already set my network type to GSM only (due to unnecessary charges of my telecom) and somehow it improved but not like it is with the Nexus One.

Monitored it for the day. At home I have a weak 3G signal but a somewhat decent Edge signal, and my phone normally bounces between the two 2-3 bars of 3G then it will drop to no signal then switch to edge then switch back. When I am home every time I unlock the phone it says "No Signal". But I still receive emails and phone calls like normal, I've not seen any abnormal missed calls or emails. I reset my phone this morning when I took it off the charger. In the hours I was at home it said I had no signal for 75% of the time. At work where I have almost perfect signal I had zero % time with no signal. My wife's Vibrant doesnt exhibits the wavering between edge/3g at the house. But it's not like I am getting bad battery life or seeing my phone jump in in power usage like you would normally see with a poor signal. Almost 13 hours off the charger. 52 minutes with the display on. 28 minutes of voice calls. 15 minutes of web browsing. I still have 57% battery left.

Working form my home office this morning so I had a chance to do some testing. Looks like my spotty 3G coverage at my house is the culprit. I mentioned earlier I have 2-3 bars of 3G here but every so often it will bounce to edge then back to 3G. It looks like when the phone is in standby that it doesn't handle that bounce properly, and will sit with "no service" until I wake it up. I put "no service" in parenthesis because even though the phone displays no service and registers that in the "cell standby" portion of the expanded battery use display I can still receive texts and emails and calls. I switched it to 2G only and the "no service" when I wake it up goes away and it does log any additional "time without signal" since I've done that.

I've switched to 2G only as of reading this. I've got no real need for 3G while at the office so if this is a solution, I'm all for it!
I'll be monitoring throughout the day as well, and make some random test calls from the desk to the phone to see if I land in voicemail.
Great catch though - now if we could only get it addressed!
By the way, what ROM are you running? Curiosity asks if it's a specific Android version issue or not...

MDJ's Cyanogenmod 7 v2.5. Just put the 2G/3G toggle into the power control in the notifier window.
I should be getting a G2 in the next couple of days so I'm going to give it a head to head test to see if the G2 exhibits the same behavior. I would test it with my wife's Vibrant but without gingerbread I'm not sure how I can log that no-service information.

Make sure Notification Power Widget is checkmarked and a couple of spaces below that is the "Widget Buttons" selection where you can add and remove buttons.

I've got to say, since I entered the correct apn settings to fix the MMS blurryness, I have had very little to no down time with regards to signal. Where as yesterday in the same locations at the same time I had 40% down time, today I have 5% and it's going down.

I'm going to try a an app I found on the market - supposedly it can control 2G/3G based on a schedule..
http://www.appbrain.com/app/timeriffic/com.alfray.timeriffic
If it actually works, I'll just set it to switch to 2G during the days and hours I know I am usually in the office.
ON THE BRIGHTER SIDE - This whole problem has helped me do something that I've been meaning to do - ditch my girlfriend!
She's been pissed as hell because she was one of the people calling my cell while I was at work and never able to get through because of this issue... Well, she refused to listen to my explanation of what really was happening! I told her repeatedly that until I got the problem ironed out to call my desk phone, but she insisted on calling the cell. She swore up and down that I was simply ignoring her calls or shutting my phone off.
She tried calling several times last night while I was still at the office - same problem.
Well, I just got the call from her (actually, text message) - kicked to the curb - THANK GOD!

Flaky WiFi & Bluetooth?

Ok, so I have been using my Note 3 for the past week and while I like it, I am having a couple of issues. I just upgraded from the Note 2, and never had any problems with that phone. That is why I am curious if anyone has been having troubles or if I just got a bad phone.
The first thing I notice multiple times every hour is that my Pebble watch, connected via Bluetooth, constantly drops and restores connections to my phone. I have tried re-installing everything, turning BT on and off, rebooting, etc. However it continues to drop and reconnect to my watch far far too often.
The second thing I have seen is that my WiFI connection is not always very stable. I get warnings all the time that my connection might be poor or unstable. It too connects and drops connection multiple times per hour. This also was not a issue on my Note 2.
So, what I am trying to find out is this.
Are both radios controlled by the same chip, is there a setting I can adjust, or could it just be a defective phone? It is driving me nuts and I need tio get this resolved. Thanks for reading.

I've had the WiFi issue but only on my home WiFi. I only have a car and obd-ii sensor that I connect to. Voice calls get jumbled when connected to both just like the gnex but I never tested this on my note ii

I came from the Note 2 and also have a Pebble Watch. I have the same exact problems as you described with Bluetooth and Wifi. Also, music audio sounds harsh compared the the Note 2 (emphasis on high notes, artifacting, etc... on all outputs).
I'm going to go to the store and compare audio quality to a display model.
Hopefully they fix these bugs.

I'm sorry to say this, but I glad I'm not the only one seeing this. I have tried posting on the Pebble forums, but can't seem to get any help. They act like it is my fault. Now just looking for ideas on what I can try to resolve these issues.

I've had the wifi issue at home and work just make sure you have this disabled, it's located under settings>wifi>advanced

No WiFi issues with me. I use my home WiFi and an open WiFi at work. I got the galaxy gear smartwatch and have noticed a few times a day it has beeped a lost Bluetooth at me but I haven't sat down and tested anything with it.
I've also rooted my GN3 already and have messed with the framework so it could easily be my fault. Hasn't been bad enough to be bothersome for me.

I'm not having any bluetooth issues, but this is only with a mono, BlueAnt earpiece. It never drops connection though.
As nnnnr14 suggested, ensure that Auto network switch isn't enabled as that feature will switch to your mobile connection if it determines that your WiFi signal is unstable. In my case, ANS wasn't ever turned on. I just had a terrible WiFi issue. Sitting 3 feet away from my router, and with a strong signal, my WiFi connection would barely work. I couldn't even remotely access other systems on my network. The message, "Your internet connection is unstable", was in my notification drawer all day. Disabling mobile data while WiFi was enabled would help the issue, but that wasn't a good enough solution. It wasn't until I followed the instructions below that my problem was fixed completely. My connection has been great since then (4 days strong).
I hope this at least fixes your WiFi issue, but may help with bluetooth as well.
Fingers crossed.

I contacted Samsung and they had me perform a cache reset that seems to have cleared up the intermittent unstable internet connection issues;
-Power the device off (remove and re-insert the battery).
-Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Home key, then press and hold the Power key.
-When the device vibrates; release only the Power key while still holding the other two keys.
-When the Android system recovery menu displays; release the Volume Up and the Home key.
-Navigate with the Volume keys to the "wipe cache partition" option and press the Power key to select.
-Wait for the cache is cleared. While reboot system now is highlighted, press the Power key and reboot the device.
Hopefully this works for you as well.

I have a pebble as well but have not had any connection issues. That goes for my original Note 3, then my second new Note 3 I exchanged. The reason for the exchange was because I DO have wifi issues as described and unfortunately still have issues with the second phone as well. I Tried all the suggestions but ultimately it seems to come down to if I'm not standing right next to my router I will have wifi connectivity issues. I've continued to read all 4 carrier threads and the international thread since I got my phone on the 10th and wifi seems to be one of the most common issues across all threads.

I just checked my settings, and the auto network switch is already turned off. So unfortunately my wifi is still having problems with unstable connections even with that feature disabled. I'm thinking I might take this phone back in today and see if they will exchange it for a new one to see if that resolves my continued problems. The weird thing, as I used both the same pebble watch and my home and work WiFi connections with my Galaxy Note 2 and never had a problem. If they do swap my phone, I will post results later.

Well, I took my phone back to Verizon yesterday and they swapped it out without any troubles. I spent the evening rooting it and re-installing all of my apps and settings. I can say that so far, I have only seen my Pebble watch drop connection once, and that may have been due to me installing a hundred apps at once. As for the WiFi, it has been very stable. No more issues with the unreliable connection messages I was getting before, or the dropping of WiFi altogether. I guess if anyone else is having these issues, there must be some hardware problems with some of them, and I would try getting your phone replaced. Thanks again for all the help and replies!

In my case, ANS wasn't ever turned on. I just had a terrible WiFi issue. Sitting 3 feet away from my router, and with a strong signal, my WiFi connection would barely work. I couldn't even remotely access other systems on my network. The message, "Your internet connection is unstable", was in my notification drawer all day. Disabling mobile data while WiFi was enabled would help the issue, but that wasn't a good enough solution. It wasn't until I followed the instructions below that my problem was fixed completely. My connection has been great since then (4 days strong).
I hope this at least fixes your WiFi issue, but may help with bluetooth as well.
Fingers crossed.

Just cleared the cache.
Here's hoping that the unstable message will go away once I get back home. *crosses fingers*

Don't know If it's any help but both have been solid for me. My truck has Bluetooth and I've been connected for hours at a time with no problems.

Nice! :highfive:

So, swapping my phone out didn't help out as much as I originally thought. My WiFi does "Seem" to be a little more stable on this phone, but my Pebble watch still drops connections all the time.
It is split second drops too. I get "Pebble Disconnected", and then about 1 sec later I see "Pebble Connected". Very frustrating! Not to mention, I can't seem to get any help on Pebble's support forums. I'm about ready to get rid of this thing! And it doesn't "appear" to be a Samsung Bluetooth issue, because it drops the watch connection while I'm streaming music over Bluetooth. My audio never cuts out or shows any dropped connection messages. Anyone have any other ideas?

KitKat and Data roaming: lost data connectivity notification

Hi all,
I'm facing a very disappointing bug with KitKat (installed few days ago): I have a G2 with D80220a-ESA-XX firmware (stock, unrooted) and more and more times during the day a popup reporting "You have lost data connectivity because you left your home network with data roaming turned off" appears. Roaming is disabled on my phone but this popups appears even if data are disabled and if the phone is not really roaming. If data are enabled, a notification with a triangle reporting the same message appears more and more times even if the phone is not roaming. This situation is very frustrating and above all, sometimes when the popup appears, my preferred network is automatically switched from 2G/3G/4G to 2G/3G. With the previous versions of Android this issue never appeared, so I'm here to ask you if somebody also is experiencing the same behaviour and how to report this bug to Google/LG or how to solve it?
Thank you so much for your help

Im still on jb and have been having this type behavior from day one also get more dropped calls than any phone i've had i've tried every setting and combinations i can do i think maybe the scan times are set for to long have noticed sometime when in a strong signal area i make a call and the no data pops up then after 30 to 60 seconds data reconnects im hopping that this gets resolved in the kitkat update for sprint
sent from my lg-ls980 there are many like it but this one is mine

This doesn't sound good bro

Yea i see complaints all spread out on this subject no one seems to know how to fix it i've talked to my carrier about it more than once and they keep blowing me off
sent from my lg-ls980 there are many like it but this one is mine

The behavior in some scenario is really frustrating: when there is an incoming call, the popup appears above, so I can only press the OK button that brings me to the networks configurations, then I have to go back to home, pull down the notification area, click on the incoming call notification and finally answer. All this just to answer and I let you to imagine how easy is this while driving. Really I hope that somebody can help...

Been there done that i'm hopeful that might be whats taking so long with our update maybe some of these bugs are getting squashed

Little update: it seems that if the phone went in roaming one time, every later time that the data are enabled or disabled, the popup appears. Can anybody else confirm this behavior?

Was in roam about 75% of the day yesterday and get this pop up all the time i need data 100% of the time for business ain't got time for lost data connection

I'm also experiencing the same bug on my G2 with D80220b-EUR-XX firmware. I have 3 (Hi3G) as my provider.
Sometimes it helps to turn Flight mode on and off, but only for a short while, then it pops back up.

I have to select dataroaming in order to be able to use mobile data after the kitkat upgrade. Enabling WIFI intermittently fails & the max volume is about 50% of what is used to be. Done numerous factory resets all to no avail. Seems there will be no 4.4.3 update for the 601 so I'll have to ditch it

I've got the same roaming warning.
I'm using an LG G2 D802 32GB with stock KitKat 4.4.2 + root + xdabbeb's camera mod v3.20.
I've no idea why it's happening. I can still use my phone and I'm connected to my network as usual.
Anybody with a solution?

Fixed my connection issues
I don't know if this will help everyone, but for me I figured out I had an app that stopped working right after the update. The app I was using was Onovo. Hope this helps someone.

smart network switch
​ i turned off "smart network switch" and it seemed to stop the persistent message. I dont see the point of that option because phones seem to automatically switch anyway by default, not allowing wifi and data to both be running at the same time.

Nevermind
