[Q] Serious Signal (3G/LTE) problem (keeps loosing signal) - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

some background info.
I ran stock room for 3 weeks, then one morning the signal kept dying on me. it would turn on for 2 minutes then loose signal again. and they it got so bad that i couldn't even make a phone call.
so i did following:
* Reinstall room (using the settings option, and factory reset)
(still same problem)
* change new simcard
(same problem)
* then finally i sent it into service.
It came back working with stock room of course)
work done when it was in service (just a hard reset with computer, tested OK)
it now worked fine for a week, then i rooted, and flashed a G-flex room.
still works fine for 5 days.
THEN today the same damn thing happens again.
the signal drops in and out every 5 seconds, the phone gets insanely hot, and the battery drains insanely fast.
what i'v tried so far.
*Whipe dalvik cache and fix permissions.
*flash new modems. (two modems)
still same problem.
I really REALLY don't want to send it back in for another 4 weeks at the service.
Do you guys have this problem? i tried looking on google for people with same issue but nothing that relates to my model number: D_802.
can you guys helps me out?

I have the ls980 variant and get horrible reception after root. Replaced the phone and all was perfect until I rooted. Went back to stock but issue persists. Going to try and reload SW again and see what happens.

[Q] HTC EVO gets no mobile Signal but can do 4G

Hello, I've been trying to get my Evo to work but it seems to just have given up on getting signal. Before I start, I'll say that I dropped my phone in water, and did the rice trick. It worked flawlessly for a whole day, but starting last night, it just stopped getting signal at all. I am rooted, I was on Fresh 4.2.0 and I used ROM manager to flash. I even tried flashing the latest radio (EVO_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_WiMAX_27167_R01_PRI_1.77_003_NV_1.90.003.zip) and still have no luck.
Everything on the phone seems to be working fine except the mobile network and the GPS can't get my location anymore either. I just don't understand why it would randomly cut out and say there's no mobile network. This morning, I did a recovery to my restore point on fresh 4.2.0 and it worked for like 5 minutes and stopped. I just tried restoring to CM 6 and it still isn't working. I really don't think its hardware since everything else seems to be working on it. Do you guys have any ideas on how I can fix this? I'd really appreciate any help that could be thrown my way.
Thanks in advance

MB526 (random) reboots, fix?

Hi, i have problems with random reboots its really annoying.
Some roboots arent random - when i recieve/send sms phone reboots almost everytime or when someone calls me its the same - reboot.
Any fix for this?
Thx
I have Defy+ (MB526), 2.3.6 android, 2.6.32.9-gbdd614e kernel, stock ROM
try wipe or flash other sbf that you can flash
Don't flash anything, if it persists after a wipe, send it back

Someone on this forum reported rebooting issues caused by a slightly shorter than spec battery (actually a few people as I recall). When the phone was moved it often rebooted and the fix was to add a single piece of electrical tape to the end opposite contacts. May be worth a try.
Switch to 2g and mobile data off then see if it reboots.
Might be this-

Ok, thanks for the answers, flashing doesnt work Ive tried it many times..
Ive just tried 2G and electrical tape, hope it will work
A few causes might possibly be the answer.
1) firstly confirmed the rom by playing the overclock settings. Some rom having too low on voltage or frequency setting. Or the rom itself is not stable. Flashing another rom is only way to confimed this.
2) Battery might have factory defect, use battery monitor widget to monitor the voltages/current of the battery consumption. change battery(borrow from friend) to see if the reboot still happen.
3) Check battery connection on the phone. Make sure no loose around it.
4) If all the above still causes the random reboots. you can return it back to the shop to repair the handset.
seems switching to 2G helped, no reboot since switch, thanks
This is the same problem I had with my Defy+
It used to reboot randomly for no reason even when siting on a desk doing nothing
all of a sudden i would hear a notification to say the sd card was loaded informing me it was rebooted.
When it does decide to reboot it can do up to 4 or 5 reboots continuously
I sent it back and got a new one.
The new one does the same thing but very rarely
maybe once every month or 2 months
I have posted about this on the Motorola Forums and There are other people with the exact same problem as us.
One of them mentioned they had to send their phone bak to Motorola and they replaced the main board and will get back to say how it went.
But since then no answer and Motorola changed their forums

Can you confirm if it's 2G or tape?
I purchased Defy+ 20 days ago with exactly same configuration as the one described in the beginning of this thread. Phone reboots at random when I am in the middle of conversation, or while accessing data through mobile network or while present in areas with extremely low single. I tried using a new SIM, checked loose ends (if any) of the battery i.e. stuck a 1 layer of tape on one end, also switched to 2G. The phone continues to reboot especially when I access internet on mobile network, and also booted once while I am in a call.
Unfortunately the customer service in India (any company) would be pathetic so I'm not hopeful in having Motorola fix the problem if I take the piece to their support centers...

Narashima,
I have heard of Defy going crazy when trying to access data in an area where the data signal is weak and goes in and out. Can you confirm you are getting reboots if you turn data OFF? Not sure how your phone is configured, but I mean even cut off 2G.

[Q] nexus 4 signal/radio problem

Hello,
During the past couple of weeks my nexus has been losing its cell signal every few minutes. It's like clockwork. If I completely wipe the room and start from scratch, its fine, but after a few days it always starts to do it again. Has anybody ever seen this? It was doing this on paranoid android, so I decided to leave it and go back to aokp. No luck. Cache wipes do nothing, rebooting it is sometimes a temporary fix. I am not using a custom kernel, and I don't ever flash new radios!
Any ideas? Thanks!

I have similar problem: Signal failure if I charge him.
I had nearly the same issues with my N4! But I don't life in the USA! I'm from Germany...
Over the he last 3 weeks me and my girlfriend lost network signal every 3-5 minutes... First times I was also wondering if that's because of a new rom I flashed or if the baseband doesn't fit with some of my kernel/rom combinations.
After 3 days I recognized that my girlfriend got the also this kind of issues, but she on a galaxy nexus!
So I started searching the Internet if other people have the same problems (especially the same issues but not related the N4)!
So in our case the problem is Vodafone Germany. Vodafone is building a new lte/4G/umts infrastructure and because of this they are shut down some of their network antennas in my area! After switching my phone to a 2g connection most of the problems are gone... And my mobile network speed also! :-\
So try to switch to 2g and see if it's fix your situation!
I get some money back from my provider because of the problems!
But the most important thing is that my N4 is ok!
Same problem as Ümit only losing signal when charging the phone. Does anyone have a potential solution?

[Q] Phone Reboots in Poor Signal Area

Hi everyone,
I've had this issue with my D800 for a while now. I've done a full clean install of CM12, following all the proper channels and install procedures.
I live in an area (central California) where I can have LTE one moment and Edge 100 feet later. So there's inconsistency everywhere I go.
When I am in an area with poor signal, my phone with freeze, and then reboot. It's quite annoying and happens approximately 5 times a day.
I put the phone in Airplane mode and try to get the phone to do it again, and it runs perfectly fine. Turn airplane mode off, it starts searching for a signal, then the reboot happens.
I used voltage control in many variations to slow the cpu down and still, it does it.
Does anyone here have any suggestions on what I should do to fix this problem? Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks!!!!
I've also run into this on the LG G2 running Blisspop 4.0 (based on CM).
I had the problem too, but it disappeared a time ago after the fix. Since then only one reboot... (I think 2 weeks ago or so like that)

Signal drops randomly (and frequently). Verizon.

I have a problem with my 6p where the signal just drops to nothing (Looking for service) and 3 or 4 seconds later it reconnects to a good LTE connection. The problem is not my connection as I live in a good area. I was rooted with xposed but for ****s and giggles I went back to complete stock and it is still happening.
I have reset the APN settings to no avail. Is this a thing that is known to this phone? Should I get a replacement? It started just recently it seems as I have had this phone since launch.
What sucks is, is that this phone is absolutely perfect (or was) and I dont want to get sent a phone with screen issues.
EDIT: I ended up getting an RMA and everything is hunky-dory.

What radio version are you on? You can flash a different version in fastboot and see if it helps.

Im on the newest one. Do I just extract it out of the 6.0 image file and just flash it over the top of the existing one?
I forgot to also mention that I tried getting a new SIM card from Verizon but that did not fix it either.

Yeah. Extract it and flash it over the top in fastboot.
Did you ever find a remedy for this problem? I'm having the same issues on t-mobile so its definitely not network or a similar related issue. Did flashing the radio from the 6.0.0 rom fix the issue? I already tried several different 6.0.1 radios and a radio from 7.0 but to no avail. I'm about to try it and if it doesn't work I'm getting rid of this phone.
I'm going to assume you mean you'll be on LTE for the longest time then all of a sudden signal completely drops then comes back on, but without the LTE signal showing near the bars, so you'll have to airplane mode, then switch mobile data on and off, then do a restart. If this is the case. That has been a documented CM13 issue for the longest time. I had the same issue with the HTC M8...

I am on LTE but as the OP said the signal randomly drops completely for 4-5 seconds them comes back LTE and all. I don't have to reboot or anything. This doesn't have to do with cm13 though, I've tried flashing back to full stock and I still have the problem there too.

Damn man...I have no idea - possibly radio like the guy above my post mentioned. Wish I were of better assistance.

I've managed to get a logcat at almost the exact time the signal drop happens, I had to put it in a Zip since the Txt document was too big for the thread. The drop happened in the last couple minutes. I'm hoping someone here with more experience than me can help me solve this issue. Thanks in advance.
Having the same issue on T-Mobile smh... it gets annoying at times!

Same problem here. On Verizon
Anyone find a fix? I'm on the latest Android N Beta on Tmobile and still have the issue.
