GPRS issue

Let me explaing what I am expiriencing.
Every time that I run Explorer, Messaging my GPRS connection automaticaly connects to internet.fido.ca. Now, I remember that on my XDA2 when I was making a call GPRS was suspended and as soon as phone call is finished - resumed. JAM just dropes connection after phone call, and it's necessary to establish it manually again or run Explorer or messaging. Anyone with similar issues? I've tried clead shipped ROM and 1.06 - same result

i have a smilar problem.... my phone can't hold the gprs connection for long say every 2-5 minuts the signal bar will go dots ..... searching for network.. i thought it could be from my provider so i switched to another one but still the same problem.... i tried my sim with a nokia phone and works without any problems!!!!
if someone could help it would be great

I think my problem is a bit different. My GSM signal is strong, 5 bars, but GPRS just refuses to resume after call is placed

Just noticed that in different location this feature works fine. I guess, GPRS signal is not very strong in my area

Exec looses signal

Hi guys,
ive had my exec for about 2 weeks now. In the last week it has started to randomly loose network signal. It keeps searching till you either soft reset it or turn flight mode on and off. It will find a signal in about 10 seconds after that.
Is this there a 'dont keep loosing signal' setting that im missing?!

Mine does the same thing - annoying as hell! Not worked it out yet.

Are you talking about telephone or GPRS signal ( U or G )

Phone signal

everything! it looses all signal.
I called o2 and they want me to go into an 02 shop for them to have a look at it before they give me a replacement
The are all 'handset trained' apparently.

I also called o2 a week ago stating the same problem, They gave me a refferance number and said they will look into it, But of corse 1 week later they have not called me, So this afternoon i will find the referance number and give them a call.
I will post ther Bollox answer on here tonight

Same problem here with a MDA Pro. I ahve noticed that this happens when I am roaming in Germany as well. Very anoying. That and the thing freezing in a call and needing a re-set. This is my second one as the first one the screen portion became loose, happened on the one before as well.

I have the same problem althoughmine will refind the signal after about a minute. It seems to disappear whenever I ask thephoneto do something new (open a program etc).
I finally persauded T-Mobile to exchange mine so I'm getting a new one delivered tomorrow.
I'll let you know if that fixes it!
Andy

My XDA2 used to lose its ability to communicate if I was out of a signal area for more than 15 minutes, but I haven't had it happen yet with the Exec. A soft reset or Flight Mode on/off cycle would fix it.
It is frustrating but didn't happen often.

Well i phoned o2 and they said there was still no answer and that no one else had complainded about this, So i told them of this forum......
As per the last post i have also had this on a 2 and 2i, and i gree if its out of servie for a few mins its seems to give up looking for service until you reset.
mine has done it overnight befor, i looked befor going to bed and it had just the 3 dots flashing where the aerial should be. the next morning it was still the same, quick soft rest and into full service, thats when i first rang o2
John

I've had this on all my XDAs in the past, and seems to continue with the Exec.
Very annoying, but not sure what can be done about it.
Ant

guys,
wait for a rom upgrade from o2, ( with new radio rom)
that should solve the problem.
happens with xda, xda2, skipped xda2-i and xda2-s,
and now it's back.. :roll:

Hi Guys, I have been having this problem for weeks with my MDA Pro. I convinced myself it wasn't the phone and that it was T-Mobiles Network. In desperation last night I spoke to T-Mobile about the problem. They told me it was a faulty phone and that I would have to contact the supplier of the phone and ask them to replace it. I tried to explain others had the problem and that I wasn't happy to have to send my phone off and wait for a replacement. But no avail. So I sat down at home and looked at the settings. I think I might of cured it! Maybe it is a fluke but by clicking the signal meter and going to settings, then changing network selection to manual it has stopped hunting when it loses signal and quickly re-picks it up. HNope this helps others.

Defenitely...that did it.
I had the same in Holland with KPN: while switched to manual no more problems.
In Romania however, where I also have UMTS, I had to switch it back (or it switched itselve back, after changing SIM card, I don't remember) to AUTO.
There it switches from GPRS to UMTS if UMTS signal is OK.

Ok, i have the same problem. Have GPRS Always on set in registry and 10 minutes ago, my MDA Pro lost GPRS connection. It trys to reconnect all the time. But no Connection can be build up. After Flight Mode and back, i get a connection immediately. But on start of MSN Messenger, it loses the connection again and does the same loop like before. Only a softreset brings my connection back to live.
Looks like a ROM issue. Maybe GSM or CE.

I am delighted to say that my replacement MDA Pro seems much more stable in the signal department. Although I still loose signal ocaasionally, I no beleive that is due to poor signal area and not the phone...
If you phone isloosing and reconnecting all the time then like mine it is probably faulty! Hopefully the ROM upgrades will sort out the last few issues I'm having!!
I love this phone!!

Same problem with JASJAR
People still have this problem? i'm using radio 1.03.01. When i used the original firmware, the phone part would lock up (Would get the busy - wait 15 seconds and try again, but it would never clear - had to soft reset)
With the 1.03.01 radio, i still get disconnected, but it'll find the signal again after a few retries - which is very bad! I rely on the phone at work, and people can't get through when it's disconnected. I have full signal strength (4 bars) so it's a software/hardware problem.
It looks like maybe it happens more frequently when charging or activesync'ing, than when it's disconnected from usb.
Can anyone confirm having the same problem, and it getting better or FIXED with the new radio firmware? If not, i'm going to have to return it.
Michael

I am using radio version 1.04.02 on the O2 exec, although i use a Vodafone SIM (supplied by work!). Mine suffers from the same problem, mainly at home, which is a very odd signal area for Vodafone. I can go from no signal to full signal to none again, and yes, sometimes it drops completely and needs a soft reset - bingo! full signal again.
Switching the network type from auto to GSM does seem to make the unit a little happier, but i need to use WCDMA when possible, so i leave mine on auto and live with the dropouts!
Lets hope the next rom fixes the problem.
Cheers
Paul

I have the same problem with my XDA and O2. a soft reset nor a full reset have been able to fix the problem. :roll: is the new rom version available as yet?

1.20 Radio Rom takes long time to reregister on network after dropped off?

Hi all,
I'm currently experiencing a problem where my Softbank X01ht drops off the cellular network because I live in a low strength area, and takes forever, if at all, to automatically connect back to the network, even if I move into an area where I know the cellular strength is high.
If I manually turn off the phone portion of the hermes, and reconnect, then it happily detects the cellular network and connects. In other words, after disconnecting, it acts as though there is no network in range at all, even though I know there is.
This seems to have started after I upgraded my radio rom to version 1.20 from 1.07. Prior to the upgrade, I know it connected back to the network quite quickly after it dropped out. Has anyone else experienced this with the 1.20 Radio Rom? I currently have the Imate jasjam rom installed on my phone with the 1.04 bootloader.
Unsure if this is related, but the area that I live in has a weak UMTS network, but a relatively decent GPRS network. I'm thinking the phone is getting confused over which network to connect too.
It also seems that if I'm in an area with a pretty strong cellular strength, it doesn't drop out? Would I benefit from downgrading to the 1.16 Radio Rom?
Thanks in advance all.
Gene

I can also confirm that things added with that after a soft reset sometime it cant detect network..i have to manualy turn off/on the radio part....generelly it occures if i reset the set just after making a call or just getting disconnected from edge...
the previous 2 radio that i used 1.16 and 1.08 didnt suffer from those probs...
but the main benifit of 1.20 radio that i get is EDGE speed i can pump upto 220Kb (22-24 KB) download speed in flat when connected to pc as wireless modem but with the previous radios i can barely go 160Kb and the speed did uped/down regularly...
and somewhat strange with this 1.20 radio i cant search for network list manually when even i go to manual in network after sometime i get cant read error...but previous radios where ok in that par too...
and the last benifeat that i get with 1.20 is now the SIM STK menu is working.....

Thanks sajib,
Glad I'm not the only one experiencing it. For me, however, it only occurs when it looses connection to the cellular network. After every soft reset so far, it has connected to the cellular network automatically. To me it doesn't seem to even search for the network. That is, after loosing connection, it is resigned to the fact that it can't connect to a network, so doesn't even try, unless I force it too. I think I have seen it connect automatically once or twice, but either way, it takes at least 10-20 minutes, sometimes it never connects, and I force a manual reconnect by turning off the phone and turning it back on. So is this a known problem with the 1.20 Radio Rom?

Try this...
I had the same problem on my TyTn. Took forever to WiFi connect. Then I found this registry setting:
[HKLM\Comm\TIACXWLN1\Params]
"dot11ShortPreambleInvoked"=dword:00000001
Now my WiFi time-to-connect seems much faster.

Hi!
Thanks for the advice, but mine isn't a Wifi problem, but a problem with connecting to the cellular network.
Or do you think that your connecting to the WiFi network and the cellular network are one in the same?

i am using the 1.20 radio as well, but cant say that i have had any of the said problems... i have the cingular 8525 and have used the 2 latest cingular roms, the aku2.3 and 2.6.. but i did have some of the same problems with i used cingulars 1.16 radio

Do you commonly get cellular network disconnects? I find that if I'm moving around the city or driving around in the car, the network connection is maintained, and sometimes will automatically find the network if it does get disconnected. However, it is only when I am home that the phone disconnects and doesn't try to reconnect once it has been disconnected.
Any idea of what might have caused this issue with you with the 1.16 Radio Rom? Possibly something to do with the AKU version? I'm using AKU 2.3.
Thanks,
Gene

I too have the original problem but have not upgraded the radio ROM. I have the T-Mobile Vario II (sorry not sure what ROM that is) but often when I move from an area of either very weak or no signal to an area with a signal (coming out of a shielded building) I too get the same problem. Initially the phone shows weak (or even strong) signal strength but when I try to make a call I get the box up on the phone screen telling me it cannot connect. I have found that eventually it will, when left to it's own devices, get itself sorted out and allow a connection. But it is invariably quicker turing off the phone (via comm manager) then back on - this always results in a valid connection.
Perhaps the problem that you describe is not related just to the 1.20 Radio ROM upgrade?

Hi Tony,
It could possibly be an application or the ROM itself causing the problem, however, I think its the radio rom in my case, simply because this problem only started occuring after I upgraded to the 1.20 Radio Rom. Previously on the 1.07 Radio rom, the phone would connect automatically and immediately. Also I just performed a hard reset after I discovered this problem, and it still seems to be occurring...
I also am sure that after a long while the phone reconnects, I have seen it try reconnect a couple of times. But then again, a couple of times I've left it for 10-30 minutes, and it hasn't reconnected. Unsure of exactly how it chooses to reconnect and when it tries to reconnect. You would think it would try reconnect constantly after a specified period, but in my case it seems very random.

i actually get pretty solid coverage whether moving or stationary. especially at home since i live not a quarter mile from a cingular tower and i dont think its necessarily related to the aku version since i have gotten the same result with either 2.3 or 2.6. But i can say for sure that the cingular 1.16 radio is junk my biggest complaint was gsm calls cutting out and on my calls on 3G had a very weird digitized background noise, kinda sounded like a bad digital echo... 1.20 fixed all of that for me

When I'm roaming around my connection always seems to be sustained. e.g, I've been checking my phone ever 1hour for about 24 hours, and have yet to see my signal lost. Is it possible that the phone is getting confused over which band to connect to? As I said in my first post, I have a relatively weak 3G/UMTS signal from my home (1-2 bars), and a relatively strong GPRS signal (3-4 bars). Presumably the phone is UMTS-preferred, and uses GPRS as a secondary.
I saying this, even if I go to another area which usually has 5 bars UMTS signal, I haven't seen the phone immediately connect. This was after about 10-15minutes waiting in that area.

yes, the phone is set to prefer the UMTS bands.. have you tried setting the band manually instead of it letting it autosearch? you can do it in the phone settings menu or use the app listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286844

HD2 no signal, shows exclamation

Hi everyone, my HD2 just stopped working with no signal at all.and shows a exclamation all the time, sim cards are no problem. i've updated the phone with official sw, still have this problem at the beginning.

has the phone been blacklisted?
is the phone turned on in wireless mode in settings? ( ya never no)
is it still under warranty?

My HD2 has done the exact same thing, just shows an !
it doesnt even try to find a signal.
phone was a tmobile UK version, which was unlocked to use any network.
the problem has literly just happened today.
have tried different offical roms, and different sim cards.

Just phoned my provider in regards to my phone, quoted the emei and have been told the phone is blacklisted.
they are sending a request to have it unbarred. will post the outcome.

I have had this happen alot with Vodaphone UK. This is a brand new number so doubt it has been black listed.
I can get this working my turning the phone to airplane mode then back to phone mode, this most of the time makes the phone look for a signal.
Usually happens to me when there is no signal like in a tunnel, the phone does not seem to try looking for the network until you force it to.

This is possibly a fault with the timeout of the HTC HD2. Could be once it tries to connect when out of signal the device gives up after a number of attemtps.
Does anyone know?t

I was searching before posting for just this problem.
It is really irritating me. The phone can jump from deciding there is no signal to sometimes even going to full-bar "H"!
I hav currently resorted to turning off 3G as at least that way I am eliminating the idiocy of it prefering 0/1 bar of "H" vs near full non-3G reception for calls.
Even so at times it will just sit there for ages having dropped a signal with the exclamation showing and then jump back to life [in the same place] with good reception.
I am also on Voda UK

Mine has done that twice, in 4 months. 1 time phone was turned off inside connections, no idea how? 2nd time I just shut off, & back on, signal was back, hasn't happened in months now?

so does anyone have a solution to this problem?
I've checked with my service provider and my phone is not blacklisted...
My SIM card seems fine and everything else seems fine, except it keeps giving me the exclamation mark.. most of the time i notice it's when i get out of the lift (but that could be because that's when i usually check my phone before I put it on my desk).
There are many occasions (probably 5+ times/day) where I turn my phone on (ie, off standby) after it's been sitting on my desk for an hour or so to check calls, etc and there is that dreaded exclamation mark.
I know the area around my desk does have a signal because the guy next to me on the same network has a strong 3G and 2G signal.
Sometimes going to Comms to turn airplane mode on and off to force it to look for a signal works, but sometimes it doesnt.
I've tried soft-resetting, hard-resetting, using different radios, different ROMs, etc and still no good.
Funny thing is, it's only been happening over the past 2-3 weeks.. and I'm not sure what triggered it.
It's really starting to frustrate the crap outta me and friends have been asking why they can't get through...
Any help would be appreciated.. . I'm trying to avoid sending it to the HTC service centre if I can because they're slooooow and the stories I've read about my local centre are pretty bad (when I had my HTC diamond).

Solved:upgrade your rom everything gonna b in place

Upgrade to what?

I am having the same problem, for a hile now. Been fiddling with phone settings parameters, trying to see the effect. One particular combination so far seems to work. Try this: Comm manager --> Phone --> Tap Change Phone settings --> Menu --> Advanced network --> GPRS --> select CHAP authentication --> then CSD Line Type --> select Data rate 9600(v.110). Then OK, Back, and Done with the Comm manager. Observe if the network pickup performance (switching from non-existent H or 3G to E or G) works better for you after that. It does better for me, so far.

I'm having the same problem - NO SIGNAL
Any solution?

i recently discovered that for my problem, it was to do with the earphones. Not sure why, but it only seems to happen to me not long after i plug or unplug the earphones.
I usually have my HD2 on my desk with the music going while I work, but every hour or so, I unplug the earphones and take my phone by itself out with me for a cigarette.. then I come back and plug the earphones back in.
Often when I'm about to head downstairs, I turn on the screen while the music is still going and i see the "!"... as soon as I unplug the earphones, the bars indicating reception comes back straightaway!
Not sure if it's a coincidence or whether it really does have something to do with the earphone/earphone jack.

I have just bitten the bullet and accepted the phone is crap at swithing between 2G and 3G signal so turn off 3G in a couple of locations when I know I get this problem [home - I can use WIFI] and my office.
HTC would not be drawn at all on un updated Radio and this problem being "fixed" in USA ROMs

Fixed
the very easy fix is to do this :
settings _ personal _ phone _ network then make network selection to manual ,, then choose ur provider,,, then u will have signal,, after that u can turn it back to automatic
100% working

Thanks a "fix" not a solution.
Rather silly to have to jump through hoops to make a mobile phone recognise available reception

Have the same problem
I have the same problem now, any solution for that?

Data connection unstable - lost

Hello Optimus 7 owners,
My Optimus 7 already went in warrancy repair for the infamous "reboot issue" and now the problem is gone but... it seems that data connection is absolutely unstable. I wanted to understand if I'm the only one with this problem or if it's a common one.
The data connection constantly switch from max power H to one bar of G, then 3 bar of 3G, then one bar of H and so on without a rule and many times switching even to the "no signal" icon, then resuming in one second. (if it's unclear I can make a video and post it to youtube)
I'm on Vodafone Italy and it's not an operator signal issue because my wife phone (an old Motorola V3) don't has such strange Behavior, and my old HTC Touch HD worked as expected too!
That behaviour translate to an unstable data connection, many time I see timeouts or long wait time before data start to works in apps that use internet.
The strange thing is that if I speak with phone there seems to have no problem...
I'm alone or someone is in my same boat??? What do you think about this strange Behavior?
Here my versions:
SO version: 7.0.7392.0
Firmware version: 1.0.1.10
Hardware version: 1.0.0.0
Radio sw version: 1.0.1.10
Radio hardware version: 0.3.5.0
Bootloader version: 1.5.0.0
SOC processor version: 0.30.2.0
The phone has it's original firmware, I've never done strange things
Thank you in advance to all kind people that will answer

No one with data connection switching between 3G, H, G and no signal like me? I'm the one in the world with this problem??? I can't believe that...!

I have partly observed that behaviour on my set, I tend to have some signal issues as in always very few bars (say one or two) where others using same carrier have full connection.
Not sure if it's a firmware problem, read something about a pending fix from LG but I can't find the article anymore so it might have been bogus.
This can cause the phone to rapidly switch from 3G to E (Edge) to H at times.
It's not such a big problem for me so I guess I really don't think about it much.
/J

I'm thinking about sending my phone again to repair... :'(
Sent from my LG-E900 using Board Express

This is the same for me as well - i live in a bad signal area anyway which doesnt help but the phone will go from full signal to no signal back to decent signal.
A Dell Streak on the same network has much more stable signal.
Must say it has improved slightly in Mango although not that much

Well..... I don't know if I have the same issue. I work in a large building and I know I have a weak signal inside. So most of the day it stays on G, sometimes E if I just pull it out of my pocket from behind something.
The issue I have is that when I know there is a better connection, it doesn't seem to jump on it. I either have to go into the cellular selection in settings or simply reboot it and it will find, display, and fully use H connection. Which I am more than pleased with the performance.
Trouble is, both the office and the house have weak signals so as long as it's G or 3G I'm happy. The only time I get to H is if I'm traveling around town and get to play with it.

I'm facing the same issue (instable 3G connection). With my previous smartphone, a Sony Experia X1 with Win Mobile 6.5 + Manila ROM (thanks XDA!!), 3G connection works like a charm. I think that poor connection performance have as side effect the excessive battery drain (12-16 hr with push email disabled).
My cell infos:
LG E900 Optimus 7 WIND-IT reflashed with VOD-IT ROM (22 sep 2011)
SIM H3G-IT
SO: 7.10.7720.68
Firmware: 1.0.16.10
hardware: 1.0.0.0
sw radio: 1.0.16.10
hw radio: 0.3.5.0
bootloader: 1.5.1.0

I have a similar issue. I live in spain, and it seems that the connection here is an option.
Anyways, like I said, the connection is bad, but many times, the phone switches off the data connection alone for a randoom time. then it comes again.
I used the Word switch off, because, although data connection is off, I can make and recieve calls.
This makes me obviously nervious, because I don't want to call trough phone-line, I want to call through Tango!!!! and chat through whatsapp instead of sms

Can you post system info of your LG Optimus 7?
Particularly OS version, brand and SIM operator. I wonder if it happens when brand of smartphone and SIM are different.
Thanks.

If you want mine you can read them in my signature. Previously I had TIM-IT ROM with Vodafone IT SIM and I had same problem. Today I have reflashed with Vodafone IT ROM and a Vodafone IT SIM, same problem.
I don't know what to do... I don't believe a LG service can fix the problem.... Or yes? Is anyone that sent device to service for that problem??? Please tell us your story!

This is very noticeable on mine - so much so im using a Wildfire S that holds signal perfectly well in the same place (not as good a phone though). Will try and see if locking it to 3G only will help.
Hopefully LG release a firmware update for this.

Some new considerations. Usually I work in an office with poor 3G signal strength (max 2 bars) where I have instable data connection (and voice calls too). Yesterday I worked all day long in another location with good 3G signal strength (at least 4 bars) and I haven't had any connection problem: email (Exchange and Gmail accounts), IE, Market Place etc. always available.
Now I am at my usual office and once again I have an instable data connection. No reset/restart/switch off/fw update in the last three days.
Is it possible that it is only a "bad reception" issue?
How many bars do you have when instable data connection issue occurs?

It's very difficult to tell you how much signal there is at my home (where I've recorded the youtube video) because my LG Optimus 7 is reporting a value from 0 to 5 bars.... Normally it stays at 4 of 5, if I configure not to use 3G it stays to 5 of 5 bars. In My Nokia E65 I've used to compare loading times, the signal is at 100% of the bar.
I really can't understand what's going on with my device... The main thing is that I cannot understand if it's a common device problem or only my device problem. Maybe the second? If that's the case I'll send to repair for the second time my phone (other 3 weeks without phone... ahrg!)

I've the same problems with my LG Optimus 7. My common carrier is E-Plus/base here in germany. Extreme fluctuating signal (switching between 3G, H and E in less than 2 seconds) when starting a "online-app" and it doesn't depend on the location (indoor/outdoor). The Data-Rate is poor and most times i have the "no-signal-sign" in the upper left, but the strange thing is, i can buzz so. without problems...
Looks like a poor programmed signal-display.

no signal
Yes, in fact I noticed too, in these days, that sometimes I'm stuck with "no signal" symbol even if I can ring to my phone... I've also seen the no signal symbol while communicating from internet (yes, wifi was off...) I think the LG driver is very poor, in fact the battery too has the problem that it doesn't update if you don't turn off the device.
I can accept that the signal symbol is not realistic but not that data doesn't come in/out! It's terrible.

I have the issue, I'm from Argentina and I have the same problem, indoor o outdoor it's the same. LG E900H.

I do a Factory reset yesterday and I haven´t this issue anymore. I do it for the battery life, and now I don´t have both issue. May be the unstable connection was the battery problem because the device is looking for signal everytime.
Of course I´m not sure but it´s possible. Good Luck

I have the same issue too.
Try to open MFG app and then select:
7. Engineer Menu
4. Modem settings
2. Band Settings
Select WCDMA Only (GSM only may help also) and reboot phone.

Same here
I'm with Vodafone-it and have the same issue, and even worst: sometimes I loose my connection with Wi-fi, too, at my home, while all other devices continue working.
