Hi guys,
Can anyone help me... I have bought the TyTN just two days ago and since then I've been struggling with a very bad phone calls quality. I haven't been able to finish properly any single call since all of them are dropped in a middle. It looks like the phone is loosing reception whereas I know for a fact that there is a very strong signal in the location I am.
I've upgraded the software today but the problem still occurs. Do you know if this is a known issue or just this particular phone is broken?

Well seeing as you've upgraded the Radio and seeing as your case is quite extreme ie losing calls completely I think i'd try testing it using GSM only. Some folks have reported that if you are in an area where 3g is around but perhaps not always the strongest signal then the phone will swap around from GSM to UMTS. So you can try:
Start>Settings>Personal>Phone icon>Band
in top drop down box select GSM
in second drop down box select the GSM band for your area (if unknown try each until you get the working one)
IF this makes reception better/constant then you have the swapping bands issue and you can leave GSM selected and turn on UMTS when you are in a stronger 3G area.
If this makes no difference return the settings to auto for the drop down boxes.
If the above fails then have you got a new 3G SIM older cards can give problems.
An application that assists with setting certain bands only is Bandswitch or Commmgrpro - Here's an early version:

Thanks Mike for your reply.
Actually I did play with those settings a little bit but it didn't help. I'll go to the shop where I bought the phone and ask for help. Thanks for your attention.

You know of any apps or way to get a shortcut onto the today screen to quickly switch between 3g and edge? Where I work is good 3g coverage, but where I live is right on the cusp of the connection ... so I find unless I turn off the "auto select" and manually choose GSM, I have dropped call problems. Would be great to be able to do this without having to go to phone settings each time.
Weinson,
Searching for BandSwitch by Daniel Herrero on this forum will reveal just such a tool. BandSwitch sits in your WM5 task tray and has the option to switch to GSM or UTMS or Auto with some time delays (before switching back) build in.

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.

Posted problem to youtube
I've created a video on youtube that shows the problem as it occur. It's written in italian language but I'm sure you'll understand what's happening whitout problems
Please whatch the video and tell me if you have the same/similar issue as I have (switching between 3G and H with very unstable data transfer / stuck)

This is my first post so I would like to greet the entire XDA community.
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).

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.

Anyone solved it?
Hi guys,
I have been facing really bad network issue for redmi 3s prime.. Basically there is alot of people facing this issue.. The problem is when network drop to 2g it will not revert back to 3g or 4g.. One of the facing issue sometimes when i drop it will go to IWLAN..
The workaround tips is we use 2 sims and sacrifice our sd card..which some of us dowan to..one other tip is to open gps and open google maps and let it run on background..which will drain our battery..
Some of the user said it is kernel issue, some rom issue and some said it is hardware issue..
I hope someone here will help to sort this problem..
Thanks and best regards..
There is no fix. Even with using Second SIM my phone (international model) kept dropping to 2G. It is also missing bands it claims to have. Only fix possible is if Xiaomi update their radio/modem drivers.
Hello.
I've got a problem with my Honor band 5.
After leaving range of my mobile bluetooth, band lost connection.
But the connection won't be reestablihed after return to the range. I have to turn at least locksreen on, to reestablish it.
I think this is uncorrect behavior.
My previous Xiomi band 2 doesn't have problem with this. Even in a car - when enter, I don't have to do nothing and connection to handsfree is established.
My phone is samsung s9.
Where can be a problem?
I have the same problem. The band will only reconnect if you turn on the GPS signal.
Thanks for answer but this doesn't help.
No matter, if GPS is on or off.
I'll try it on another phone, I've got an old ZTE Axon mini here...
EDIT: It ends as same behavior. So issue is not caused by phone, but by band. Or by Huawei health App.
I think it is caused by health app. So I can't do nohing, unless Huawei fix it. Until this - my band is useless.

Do you update it?
Yes, there was an update at the end of the february.
Unfortunattely, it doesnt help.
Now it seems it is samsung issue...
I've tried band with two other phones (ZTE Z17 mini and some old Xiaomi) and band reconnect right after returning to phone range.
On both phones...
And I tried on another Samsung S9 and same problem.
I'm bit confused now.
I use a Samsung S8 and my Huawei band 4 PRO reconnects automatically as soon as I get back to Bluetooth range.

I invite you to discussion
The huawei health app notification must be enabled on the phone.
