I'm having an issue with my phone where the phone signal strength shows full bars but when I try to make a call, connection fails. I can't remember the exact error message but it tells me to check with my service provider or network may not be available in my area or something like that. I've tried going to the connection Mgr to turn the radio on and off but the modes will not change. (can't turn radio off in comm mgr) The only thing I can to to fix it is soft reset the phone, no probs after that.
It seems to happen only when I've gone a couple of days without soft resetting the phone. It's annoying because I can never tell how long it's been like that and how many calls I've missed.
Question is, what could be causing this - the ROM or the radio version I'm using, or something else?
BTW: I'm using Meschel's Premium 2.0 ROM
I have the 3.07.90 Radio
I was wondering if chaning the radio back to 2.98.90 would fix this.
I guess no one else is having this issue. Maybe it's my new SIM card.
i get this occasionally, and i'm using the T-Mobile ROM that came on the phone (never been changed). Radio Version 02.49.90
I usually just put in in flight mode, using comm manager, and reactivate it. This usally fixes it for a week or so.

Thanx for replying. Was feeling lonely on this issue.
Comm Mgr didn't work for me so I guess I'm going to have to settle for soft resetting ever couple days.
Ive had it and its normally after the phone goes into an area of no signal. At work we have a few bad areas in the office, once I go into a good area the bars shoot back up but the phone wont work. This happens with a few radio roms ive tried although 03.06.90 from the official T-Mobile UK WM6 rom seems better.
The only way to make a call is wait a while or reboot the phone. Turning the flightmode on and off doesnt work.

hi,
from time to time I experience the folowing:
Suddenly, soemone call me to other phone becuase he's trying to contact me. I see my artemis and it's OK, switched on and signal bars at 90%. I dont know why when someone try to call me appears like the phone is switched off.
I make a soft reset and strat to receive missed calls + sms's.
I have Vanilla 4.02 ROM and I use very often the wifi connection....
br.
im with you there, this is the reason why i went back to my aging nokia 6280. ive tried about 10 different roms and it would never pick up the signal unless rebooted. what happens with mine and a few of my friends was on london underground you would lose the signal obviously underground, when you came out the phone would pick up the signal but never recieve a call or sms. also the gprs wouldnt connect unless it was rebooted. ive had a few htcs in the past but because of this poor show i wont ever purchase another one.
my phone done this from day one of ownership, tmobile told me that firmware upgrades would fix this annoying problem, but it never did.
maybe you should try updating your radio ROMs
flashing different ROMs wont help
done half a dozen of them as well on my phone.

Even, I had the same problem, but since I moved to Radio version 3.21.XX, everything is just fine, no problems since then. Even 3.24.XX is out now, you should definitely give it a try. Hope it works for you!!
Cheers!
Same problem
Thanks for posting. I have the same problem with the same ROM. I'll change radio rom.
Radio Rom changed
Radio Rom changed 3.34.90 . No problems and good quality
My phone sometimes loses signal completely... other times it has a signal but I cannot connect to the net. The 3G Symbol at the top only shows that it is uploading and not downloading. any Ideas on how i can fix this?

The radio is very flaky, I believe even more so for CDMA devices. What type of phone do you have?
I get the same thing here. Almost 1 out of every 3 times coming out of sleep it is ok. Otherwise I have to go and rebuild the APN settings back to default.
Typically it has something listed but once in a while it lists nothing until I rebuild them.
These times seems like it is like the towers have stopped talking or refuse connection to my phone. Thus the reason why it uploads but not downloading any data.
2.1 had random data issues but 2.2 has some major kink either with the radio version or overall CDMA.
I have Verizon (RHOD500).

I believe it's the (Touch pro2) Rhodium 100. but not really sure how to check. But if you mean GSM or CDMA.. Its GSM

you can try re-flashing the radio, which will help if anything has been corrupted
I would try that if my WinMo has an issue. So far just android dropping data on my RHOD500.
I think it is trying to rebuild or at least re-register on the network too much causing issues with towers or internally at least.

I dnt have a problem in WM. Only within Android.
Yea... the radio drivers probably aren't perfect. Far from it, from the sound of things... I've definitely had issues with it as well. I just try to avoid making calls in Android, and receiving them always makes me leery. I've had a few important calls drop because Android decided to reboot itself...
Ahh yeah I've seen the same problems on my RHOD500...usually I know when facebook gets a refresh API error since its set to sync every hour so I just pop on/off airplane mode for a minute and I get data back.
Other then that radio seems pretty decent...I make and receive calls all day with no issues.

i have been having the same issue is there a fix for it?
Hi all,
I've been experiencing a 3G Freeze or Lock up issue for a while (since T-mobile and Orange started network sharing).
I didn't mind it too much before as it was at worst once a day... but now it's happening every time I use the phone!! I've tried different radio's to no help either.
The issue is that whilst using 3G on my phone; after 5 mins the 3G/H indicator shows an arrow uploading but there is no data being transferred. At this time I cannot make phone calls, send texts or anything and I have to either put my phone in Airplane Mode and off Airplane Mode, turn it off and on to unfreeze it, or wait 5 minutes to unfreeze itself.
I'm on T-mobile using the radio 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17 using the latest LeeDroid ROM.
Stupid phone is becoming near unusable. Any help would be appreciated!
Hello,
i have just the same problem. Until now I thought this issue only appears on AOSP based ROMs. I used to be on LeeDroid and never had this problem. I also tried several different ROMs (PirateRUM, DeFrost, Ginger Villain), Radios and Kernels. But no luck.
Sometimes it helps just to go to standby and turn it on again. Flightmode is also an option or wait a few minutes and download comes back again.
I was just about to go back to Leedroid but there seems to be the same Problem.
Maybe it's not the Soft- or Hardware but the carrier? I'm on E-Plus (Simyo)
Any ideas?
I'm on T-Mobile in the UK. I asked them about it but they started accusing me of changing the software and Radio on my phone... which is true.
I've tried my Sim in a ZTE Blade and it didn't happen though. The whole phone just freezes. I can't be rebooting the phone every hour!
Surely someone must know what's going on?
I searched the xda develpers forum and goolge thousand times but didn't find any working solution. But today I found a hint:
- forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=656192
- The *#*#4636#*#* trick is worth a try.
- Maybe 3g watchdog causes the problem.

Thanks!!! I think this may fix it as mine was set to WCDMA preferred!
For me only setting radio to "WCDMA only" fixed the problem...
Hi folks, just wondering if anyone is experiencing signal difficulty today? thought it was my phone(which it still might be!!) but tried 3 different roms, 3 different radio, 3 different kernels, and i can get a wifi connection, i get a network connectiob briefly every now and then, and the signal bars turn green, but i cant make calls or send texts?
I'm on 3 UK and its all perfect

hmm, ok, thanks elliotg. maybe it is my phone then!
just out of interest, could you possibly post the contents of your apn file/s for me, as i have been using dGB rom, which doesnt include any apns, and that is where the problem first arose. i did find some listed online, but if you have a working one there, if youd be willing to let me know so i can check mine and change if neccasary?
Just an update to my last post, I am still getting signal occasionally but it does seem to be dropping off a lot. Also yes I'd be happy to share my apns if you could tell me how haha
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
ok, can we first clear up, are you having probs or not? your first answer was everything is perfect, then your 2nd says your having problems? haha. and the apn is in settings-wireless and networks - mobile networks - access point names. if you have anything in there, could you possibly write down only the items that have a value. if some say "not set" dont worry about typing them out. thanks in advance
ok, so, my current situation is this. im on redux 2.31.08.lite radio 5.17.05.08 and kernel 2.6.35.13-stable (base kernel that comes with rom). i updated the kernel to thalamas mod8 (latest) which made no difference to my signal problems, but did after about 30 minutes give me wifi error, couldnt even turn wifi on. so went back to the base kernel and wifi is working fine. i can get a connection when calling probably once every 30 attempts? it just shows the calling screen, then ends call and cuts off. if i turn airplane mode on, then back off, i have to wait about 30 seconds to get a signal again, pr even have to manually search, which can take ages, or not work at all. (error while searching). in my head, i think the radio isnt working (which sounds obvious lol) but ive tried 4 different radios and all have the same problems?
im struggling now, is it the phone, or is it 3Uk?
any help will be massively greatfully recieved
Anyone else having connectivity issues with their one x? If the phone loses connection for any length of time, it will not reconnect and I'll have to reboot the phone for the mobile network to reconnect, which is probably every 15 minutes or so.
I skimmed a couple pages, couldn't find anything, but I've found a couple other forums with people posting about this issue. it's an ATT one x.
Hoping there's a fix for this as every ATT store within 50 miles is out of stock on both colors and customer care won't do a damn thing for me but tell me "go back to the store." Bull**** if you ask me, broken ass phone and I'm stuck with it. Really?
I was hoping there was a fix, even if I have to unlock the bootloader and root.
Of all the issues that people have been complaining about since the phone was released that's not one that I've heard mentioned.
However, it's probably worth you asking the question over in the AT&T One X section, as this is section is for discussion about the international (Tegra 3) version and your problem might be something specific to the One XL hardware.
im having exactly the same issue. works fine when staying constantly in coverage but when i lose the connection going through the subway tunnels it doesnt reconnect. searching all networks fails even! its like the radio switches off.
i got it to turn back on by turning it into plane mode (which took ages and look like it had frozen but eventually ticked over after about 30 seconds). once i turned plane mode off it asked me for my sim pin again, then after that it reconnected normally.
which made me think... that shouldnt happen and has never happened on any of my other phones. so tomorrow morning im going to try going through the tunnel after turning my sim pin off and see if that fixes the problem. maybe when the radio disconnects it tries to reauth to the sim but but the UI doesnt prompt for a pin and it stays off... worth a shot because i havent seen anything else that seems to apply to the international version, only the LTE version and needing to select GSM/WCDMA instead of LTE (which this phone is defaulted on already).
then again this would only make sense if the poster has a sim pin on as well do you?
I'm having data issues with 3g and WiFi. Most of the time is fast and reliable, other times is just does not connect.
Stock HT24 international one x.
It's my only issue with the phone but store has said I can return when ht25 stock is in if I like.

I did not realize there was a forum for the ATT version of the One x. Sorry for the mispost, but no, airplane mode does not fix the issue, it needs a hard reboot. What I do for the meantime is turn data connection off when im not using it, then turn it back on when I need it. Annoying to say the least, but.... whatever.
I also have connection issues on the mobil network. Very often it drops out, and wont reconnect untill im very close to an antenna. Its a big problem, as it can't connect from my home +/- 100m, and i live right in the center. I don't have this problem with other phones, so i think its a HTC One X problem, even thou the phone company has a weak signal in my area.
I can confirm that upgrading to 1.29.401.11 fixed this issue for me.
I did try unlocking the SIM card but that didnt do anything. Flight mode did work for me but that was just annoying and I missed a few calls and SMSs being in elevators and not realising it had dropped as well.
But anyway, I read that the .11 firmware had a radio update so perhaps that fixed it. If you dont have the Intl English version like me (i.e. 401) you will need to wait until your localised version is updated.
