Develop Bugs

3G unstability, anyone like this?

Hi.. I always appreciate that you guys developed a lot of great stuffs..
But I couldn't find out any similar problem from this forum so that I have to write this thread.
My X01HT with Dopod official WM6(I tried more than 10 WM5 and WM6 roms) and my problem is GPRS mode is perfect! No problem at all, very stable, long battery life.
But when I choose auto or WCDMA (3G) mode, the connection quite often disconnected both voice and data.
I also tried most of the radio version here from 1.16 up to 1.48.
Some is a bit better like 1.27.00.00, 1.38.00.11 But still I couldn't use them as a voice and data connection.
The symptom is after call a person or receive a call, 3~4 second later disconnected. And then can not find out the signal until I off and on again.
After that it find again the UMTS signal and few minutes later it disconnected again.
What is the problem?? Radio? unlock procedure? My phone was wrong?? Can this problem be solved?
Please please help me,, I tried to search any similar problem and flash so~~ many roms and radio.. But it couldn't solve the problem...
Thanks in advance for your reply...

I forgot to mention that I am living in Hong Kong currently.

Same here, with my Hermes. That's why I keep 3G disabled unless I am using it for data/modem/internet sharing.
I am in the US (AT&T/Cingular) and I am attributing it to the carrier's network quality.

I get a similer problem in that if i am attached to 3g or hsdpa then most of the time i cannot make a call.. it just disconnects before dialing.
i've had to turn 3g off as to be able to make (and i presume receive) calls using 1.48 radio rom although its happened with other roms

First of all,, I feel comfort that this problem is not only mine.
And thanks for your prompt reply.
Which means this problem is possibly carrier's quality problem?
Or radio roms'???
Is there any suggested solution?
Hopefully some good reply from an expert...

I would say it has more to do with your reception of HSDPA probably the area you are at more than anything since it seems that out of the 100,000 people that have downloaded WM6 from this forum only a handfull have this problem. I do NOT and I live and work in Nyc where the 3G connection is really good and works like its suppose to. it could also be an issue with the chip inside your phones I would go to the wireless store and see if another hermes does the same as yours. if not you have a faulty phone and should get it replaced.

Signal Reception Question

I have noticed in the past few weeks that my signal reception has gotten worse. Places where I usually get 3G and HSPDA, now I only get Edge. It's seldom I get 3G anymore anywhere.
I am currently using K's ROM v1.30b. I tried a bunch of different radios as well, but no affect.
I am wondering is there something that can cause the signal to drop like that? Is it ROM dependent?
BTW, I'm on at&t in the midwest.

No one knows what can cause this?

Unless you have handled your device badly then it sounds like a transmitter issue. What radio version are you using? Also go into: start>system>phone>band
tell us what settings are selected.
The reception and etc....is attributed to the radio stack version, nothing else.

Thank you for your reply. I've used the following radios:
1.47, 1.48, 1.50, 1.54 all with approximately the same results. Meaning mostly Edge network everywhere and very very rarely 3G. Whereas it was 3G mostly before.
My settings are :
Select your network type: GSM (Should this be Auto?)
Select your GSM/UTMS band: Auto

Dont forget that sometimes the problem can be on AT&T's end...
The tower by my work has occasionally gone screwey for a day and all I can get is EDGE, or sometimes 3G with only 1 or 2 bars before switching to another tower on EDGE (normally full bars).
It's happened 4 times in the last year, each lasting only one day.
Go to a friends house or somewhere else and see if 3G comes back. If so then it might just be your local tower, esp. since you have tried so many radios without a difference.
EDIT: just read the above post..
Network type MUST be Auto or WCMDA for 3G to function!!

Your troubles as shown in the post above this one....your mode is set to GSM....hence why your device will not work on UMTS/3G unless the mode is set to WCDMA or auto.

new radio causing 3g/hsdpa connection problems

I don't know if there are more of you having problems with 3g and hsdpa after flashing the new radio update.
My connection type only accepts gprs after the flash. When i dial *#*#INFO#*#* and choose information and tap the ping test, i can only see that gprs is connected.
With the older radio's i always had a hsdpa connection.
This is the radio i'm using: 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
Roms are different roms with the same issue:
-Defrost 2.0a
-DJDroid v1.0r1
-Adams OpenDesire 1.5 and 1.6 prerelease.
All roms in combination with this radio are causing problems with my 3g connection.

Maybe if you specify the ROM and the Radio versions you are using, someone can help you....

dutch Hi / KPN... no difference at all.. 3g works fine, speedtest still showing 950kbps

Open desire 1.5, h3g data connection is HSDPA, with latest radio.

Well i only see the gprs icon, no 3g or hsdpa here. Speedtests give me 0.01mbit down and 0.02mbit upload speeds.

I just found 2 more simcards.
1 kpn
2 t-mobile
both the same thing, no more than 0.02 mbit up and down. . .
Maybe i have to try flashing a older radio back.

Maybe vodafone 3G broadcast thingie (dunno) is broken in your area?

Yeah mine dropped to 2G All the time so I flash the Android 2.2 HTC sense Rom and pushed it to wcdma only. Works, I think it's an issue with the radio for T-Mobile UK customers
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

No because he tried kpn and T-mobile as well.

I've always had 3G issues on mine regardless of radio so I'm putting it down to being orange. New radio for me seems better tho, I get H alot more so things work fine!
Maybe the flash didn't take...

I flashed Dj Droid 1.0 r1 today with new radio and ive not shown Hdspa since. I did a speed test and it showed 1.9 - 2Mb, which is good for where i am. I did the ping test and it came back saying Hdspa so i think with me its just the icon thats not changing.

2.2 unless patched will only display 3G icon for both 3G and H. I doubt HTC have put that patch in...

And found another vodafone card (vodafone dongle)
Lets try

I have the same problem with H only getting 3g signal, since I started using 32... radio. So its defiantly not network related.

Ok tested my vodafone dongle, and same issue (from laptop), so there must be something wrong with the vodafone network.
Pffieuw

I have same problem with last radio with ROM Six O'clock AM, Open Desire, AOSP, DjRoid and AOSPDesire_1.2.2.

It's a bit strange, normally when i am in the living room a always had 3g or hsdpa. Now i only have gprs until i go upstairs, when i'm at the top floor it shows me the hsdpa icon, and a speed test of +/- 1.5/2Mbit down and up.
So there changed something. Maybe Vodafone messed up their signal or there's something different with the new radio. . .

How is your 3G connection since latest radio install?

This isn't related to any particular ROM as I have tasted this with various sense and none sense ROMS... Has anyone since using the latest radio had issues with connecting to 3G or having very strange fluctuations, where the signal might go dead completely then back up to full?
I seem to be experiencing this with 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20

nope seems fine with mine. OD rom in Australia

The mentioned Radio is really poor in 3G Network. Especially change between 3G and EDGE. When I disconnect from Wifi it too often doesnt connect to the GSM or 3G again - the bars are there, you can phone but cant use data connection.
I hope there'll be a updated radio soon!
Im not happy with 5.09.00.20.

Hi,
I'm also experiencing a poor 3G connection with this radio.
I'm not happy with that.
Vodafone Spain, also same while itinerance in Portugal, USA.
Best

this radio has been absolutely fine for me.

having poor reception at singapore here too...
should i downgrade the radio?

Working best for me. From Malaysia.

Not working at all well for me. All was working great until I flashed to this radio. I'm now experiencing complete signal drops at least once an hour, have to toggle airplane mode to re-enable.
I tried rolling back to each other radio bar the first 3 or 4 with the same result.
Could it be something else or am I missing something when rolling back the radio?

It works fine for me as long as I stay in Copenhagen, but I've experienced losing signal altogether when travelling, this didn't happen before, so I think it's because of the radio.

I have a weird issue where I never seem to be able to access the Internet in any way until the connection icon changes from "3G" to "H". Is this normal? I haven't noticed this on the stock radio but then I didn't keep it that long...

Still having this "issue". Anyone else?

New version is working really better here.

Where could one get that version? And is it supposed to work on any ROM without breaking it?

I have the 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 radio and am on Telus.
I have the same issue as you. When the icon shows 3G my internet doesnt work at all but as soon as it changed to H (bang) full speed internet..
It did it for me on the 32.43 radio but not on stock. Anyone know what the stock Telus Radio is?

Guys you do know on telus we dont have a 3G network its strictly "H" that would be why your internet does not work. I would like to know how you managed to get stuck in 3G as i never have.

I have no idea - i just updated radio and rom to 2.2 Official (but rooted) - i entered the apn settings from the telus website.
When on internet things will be fine, internet loading (H in task bar) and then suddenly it will turn to the 3G icon and internet will freeze until the H icon comes back. Strange...

When i go into the settings and check my phone model it says its a HTC Desire A8181 - i checked the internet and this model is 3G Dual-Band 900/2100MHz.
Before i flashed a 2.2 rom my model showed as HTC Desire 8182, which is 850/1900 3G.
Could this be why its getting stuck on 3G instead of H?

My model also displays HTC Desire A8181 and I'm running a 2.2 ROM.
I don't remember what it said before on the Telus stock rom, but I could try flashing it back to see, since I have it in backup.

If you could try flashing it back that would be great - i think i have my Nandroid backup but its on my works computer...

the modle should do anything i change mine to just HTC Desire, what rom are you running?

[Q] Wifi performance after radio update?

I have been running the original sense ROM on my DHD downgraded from the 1.72 it came with to 1.32 to freeze bloatware and get rid of the annoying SMS notification bug. Was working great until I tried a new radio to see if I could improve my patchy Vodafone UK 3G sig.al at home. I tried the latest stable radio from Cingular and found 3G and GPS was good but wifi was suddenly terrible! Right next to router and only getting 'fair' signal. Thought I'd return to original 1.32 radio using the one in the radio thread but this has made no difference. Wifi signal is now poor upstairs with only my network visible whereas I was getting Excellent with multiple networks nearby showing. Is this a radio problem or settings? I never had best wifi performance ticked in settings. If it is a radio problem does anybody know how to return to the stock one that came with my DHD - UK unlocked used on Vodafone UK network. Any help appreciated greatfully!

Apparently these radios, unless WWE, are designed for a specific area. If you're not in the area you will notice some downgrading in WiFi functionality. Try a WWE radio and see how it goes.

shut down and restart your router and try again the wi-fi. that work for me the first time.
or you can boot into recovery and do a Factory re-set

Have tried most of the radios in the thread over in Desire HD development now with pretty similar results, even tried the UK specific test radio listed there. Currently on Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2.
Have tried a reboot of router also, but that did little. I used to be able to see 4-5 nearby networks also but can only barely see one now.

Hi, would just like to report back to say I think I've fixed it. Is the wifi antenna connector on the battery cover like the network antenna is on the sim card cover?
Was at work and getting a really poor signal to the ADSL line here for external devices, whereas last week had nearly a full signal (2 rooms away). Just removed the sim and battery cover with the phone on so I could soft reset it in the process, cleaned the gold contacts and put back together and WiFi seems to be working great again.
Will report back later when I've had chance to test it at home but seems it was maybe a Darwin moment and I hadn't put the battery cover back on properly or the contacts were dirty?

That's good to know for future reference... cheers!!!
