Right, just recently, the phone has been playing up. When I have radio signal, you can see the strength bars go up and down, no problem. However, when I go from a good signal area into a bad one, the radio does not keep searching for a signal, instead, I just get and exclamation mark. This still continues even when I go into a good signal area.
Doesn't matter if the phone is on or in sleep mode. now, my understanding is, if the phone is in sleep mode and looses signal, when you press any key to wake the device, the radio should automatically search for a signal. Nope, nothing. Only thing that works is either turning it off and on again or putting the phone into airplane mode and back again.
So, what whould cause this and can someone explain how the radio works, ie signal searching for how long etc.
Thanks!
Forgot to add, sometimes, it will do this and actually show the data symbol next to it.
Had the exclamation point yesterday after installing Office 2010 and to fix it I had to hard reset the phone. Yes, reload and reinstall everything onto the phone again. It was painful but interestingly enough the phone works better than before. Go figure. Oh, and I was able to get Office 2010 loaded onto the phone without a problem.

That's a bit of a strange one, but I guess with windows mobile, nothing should be unexpected! Very, very frustrating though. I have a sneaky feeling that it is something to do with RAM Cleaners but I'll probably find that's a load of old crap.
Well, I have managed to do a little more reseach on this and I could find very little on the subject. Had a flick through the manual and it says that the symbol means no phone service. Ok, well, what causes that? I couldn't find a good explaination on this. Very annoying as the radio doesn't 'refresh' itself to search for a signal again - is this normal?
I did find that one chap had issues with his onmia similar to my issue and he eventually discovered that if he flashed his ROM with the sim card in, he didn't suffer with this issue. Now, I know it's not a good idea to do this however, I task29'd with it in adn then flashed with it in, we'll see what happens. I have left the phone with nothing else on it.
I did search on here and could onely find one real incident where this had happened, to resolve it, the guy reverted back to a really old radio which is something I didn't want to do.
My current radio is 4.49.25.91 and have tried the latest one 4.49.25.77 which I probably didn't give enough of a chance and also reverted back to 4.49.25.17 which iirc, suffered the same problem.
Now, I have a few questions;
1. What controls the radio for signal searching and are there registry setting for this?
2. What governs the amount of times the radio keeps searching for a signal and for how long before it gives up?
3. Am I wasting my time as know one knows?
Hmmm this is interesting, whilst my issue is the same as the initial issue that chap had, i have not had any settings pushed from my provider. However, I did install Resco 2010 and although I had removed it, it was still showing un in wmdc, this coud possibly be my issue. May be time to completely wipe the laptop and start again just to make sure. I guess you could say why bother, but it's starting to really piss me off.
Right, have done a little more research.
To rule out all potential issues one by one, I formatted the laptop and started again. Re-flashed the ROM. All seems to be ok, not switched the phone off since saturday night. Found a signal dead spot at home, yep, radio searches for the signal. Me thinking everything's ok.
Oh, no. On the way home from work and it does exactly the same thing, straight into the exclamation mark 'no phone service' and only way out of it is to go into airport mode and back again.
However, thought I'd test a little more, went to local supermarket where I definitely got zero signal. Go in, signal drops, phone keeps searching, and does so for over 5 mins. Hmmmm. Put the phone into airport mode and then back on again. Hmmm, phone goes into the signal search and no phone service cycle. Swaps between the 2 every 15-20 seconds or so. Hmmmmmm.
Only thing I can think of is that the phone hasn't been switched off for several hours, say, 48hrs, then it doesn't search and refresh... Interestingly enough, it does it at exactly the same point everytime on my way home from work....
Any assistance, suggestions and comments most welcome.
This is soooooooooooooo frustrating as my TP has no issuse whatsover ggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
You may want to change the radio

Thanks chap, have already gone one radio forward and one back from the current one and had exactly the same issue. Didn't want to go to far back incase there is anything an older radio is missing out of from RILphone etc. Which could well be nothing at all! lol.

oh well try a stock rom with the radio it came with...or try a hard reset...if the the stock rom still gives a problem then you have hardware problem

i Download the HTC Fuze ROM Update- Version 5.11.502.2 WWE
after i flashed it and booted it, initial setup was taking place... it said it was setting up touchFLO. everything looked good.
until...
it just rebooted!
and it keeps cycling that way. it never gets to load windows.
i have read that other people have been having trouble with touchflo after the update... but now i cant even get windows to load.
ive been trying to find solution all day. about 15 hours. i cant even flash another rom into it. i cannot hard spl. anyone?
try hold volume down + softreset, connect usb, then install stock rom (original rom)
Do u have a Fuze or a Diamond??
Fuze roms are for Fuze devices, Diamond roms are for Diamond devices only.
And you´re in the Diamond section.
You should check that.
i cannot find the original stock rom. htc.com does not have it. i also tried searching. there was a post in which a guy had the same problem. he was directed to a S.E.A. WWE ROM. i also downloaded it and gave it a try but i got an "invalid vendor id" error. i think that means i must hard spl. but i CANT. it hangs at 0%. and i cant sspl manual. cuz i cnt even boot into an OS.
yea, i have a FUZE. i am aware that fuze roms are for fuze devices and diamond roms are for diamond devices. since i have not been successful in flashing my fuze with stock OR updated rom from htc (mainly since i cannot find the stock rom,) i am trying to flash it with ANY compatible rom.. i just need this phone working at LEAST so i can boot to an Operating system.
i am stil searching and searching for a stock rom for this fuze.... because that seems like it is my only sure bet. if anyone already knows or can point me in another direction, that would be great. i will be contacting htc rightnow.
I do not know if this was your problem, but I realized that whenever I try to flash a new rom with usb devices connected on pc, the process stops. my luck that I did before hardspl
try this link

hi
hi did you check the wiki? http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Raphael_WM6.1_ROMs has all the stock roms for xdas, this link is for the touch pro, fuze raphael whichever >.>.
yes, i did check the wiki.. for each of the att roms, it says i need spl 1.90. i have the stock spl 5.10. i dont think i can flash those roms. i have been running thru so many threads, i am just about overwhelmed
marcolero, thanks for those links. it looks like that is what im looking for (http://rapidshare.com/files/157242627/RUU_Raphael_Cingular_US_.exe)
sounds like thats it. thanks. i will try that now.
good luck, hope it works!
it worked. thanks alot
but it did not solve my initial problem... the reason why i flashed it in the first place.
my htc fuze did NOT resume from standby. this problem started suddenly one day. after the backlight dims after 30 sec, and then the lcd turns off after 1 min, pressing the power button did not wake my phone up. i was, however, able to turn the volume up and down, and heard the notification sounds.
since i could not manually hard reset my phone (the reset button did not work when pressed with my stylus) i decided to update my phone with the rom provided by htc website.
flashing was successful, but my phone kept rebooting before it loaded windows.
so now i had another problem. i couldnt even hard spl, or load any other rom. but thankfully, after much confusion and help from you guys, i found the stock fuze rom
after i flashed my phone with the rom you guys provided, i still had the problem in which my phone would not wake up after standby.
it turned out that getting a new sim card fixed my problem.
kinda makes sense... well, somehow... because i read that another guy in this forum solved HIS problem by messing with the phone settings. (choosing gsm or 3g instead of auto)
i wonder if i should make another thread for this problem and its solution. bah....
i wonder how many people have sent in their phone for repair when the solution was as simple as this. i myself, thought my lcd was damaged. becuase my phone got wet couple months ago and smudged the screen. on top of that, this phone was bought refurbished. heh... what a dilema.
thanks all
Hi that was me that solved my Standby of Death problem by changing phone band option from AUTO to 3G only (also works if set 2G only from auto)...
Its good to hear that you also solved your Standby of Death problem but by changing SIM, this doesn't surprise me, did you also change provider or was it just a faulty sim?
I don't think a change of SIM would benefit me as I had the problem with my old SIM (I don't think my SIM is faulty per se not if they are all like that) besides changing the band setting from auto to either 3G only or 2G only works for me and I'm happy with that. If I didn't have a working solution I would def try changing SIM however and I don't want to discourage doing that.
Also I would only get the Standby of Death 2-3 times a week which coinceded with being in a weak 3G area (where the phone might auto switch bands) it didn't happen as often as you had it. The problem is def connected to the SIM card.
Obviously everything I've written above only applies to those who have the Standby of Death because of the SIM or settings which impact the SIM, to rule out a software cause are best to start with a hard reset.

i had sufferd from the same problem as u.
but my problem was,i downloaded a radio rom patch which was going to make my jamin from 2g to 4g.i tried to install it and it makes my cell dead.becus of low battery.once ur cell phone becomes failure during rom flashing it will not accept even charging.now condition was same when i turn my cell phone it comes just for may be few seconds and becomes down but red light turns on some times.there is a way.charge ur mobile battery using desktop charger and make it charge just for 45 minuts or ur baterry will blown up.after this connect ur phone with usb cable and starts upgrading again.it will prove helpful.thank u...
Okay, heres my situation. Before I updated, I was running 2.1 stock, never rooted or made any mods. Then, I updated to the TmoUSA Defy 2.2 update (the one that was briefly released), and now I can no longer connect to 3g/ have EXTREMELY bad 3g reception.
Also, I can no longer boot into recovery mode (power button + volume down). When I see the Android figure with the "!", nothing happens when I touch the bottom left of the touch screen? To originally flash the 2.2 update, I simply went in to recovery, and flashed the update.zip. Im doing nothing differently now, and can no longer get into it.
My main issue I am having though, is with 3g reception. Im in the exact same spot of my house, and used to have 4 bars of 3g, and would get about 1.5mbps down, and now, Im forced onto Edge, which obviously is over 10 times slower -_-
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
UPDATE:
Okay, this is AWFUL. I did a full reset through the recovery, and cleared the cache. But that did not help at all. On top of that, my issues are worse.
My phone cannot connect to 3g, I went to my school, and there are several cell towers on campus, and I always had full bars of 3G service. And guess what? I didnt get a single bar, just 2g service.
New problems occurred, now the phone gets hot, with no programs running. I tried restarting, but that didn't work. Second, my phone died in about 2-3 hours with little to no use, 1 txt thats all. And it DOESNT CHARGE AT ALL. At first, it took a few hours to charge from 20% to full, and now, I tried charging after school, and its stuck at 0%?
Is there any way to downgrade to 2.1, including the baseband? Should I contact Motorola? I've never rooted it, just installed the official 2.2 update for the US, the one that was briefly released (deeply regretting it now :'( )
Try pressing both volume up and down at the same time when you see the android guy. They changed it from touching lower screen in the upgrade to froyo
Then once in recovery do a restore reset and see if that helps.

I presume you are indeed on T-Mo US? I'd start by calling their tech support, just get elevated to upper tier. Then give Moto a shot. Have you done an Operator selection search? If you go into the INFO menu -- dialer > *#*#4636#*#* > Phone information, scroll down to Preferred network type, it should say GSM auto (prl) to get 3G reception. If not, try changing it.
Bump? Any help would be great, I just sent an email to Motorola, but probably wont get a reply for a day or two. I can't even use my phone, it dies within 2 hours, doesn't charge, and wont even connect to 3g.....

Thanks! I'll try that as soon as I can turn on my phone :'( Seriously though, thanks a lot. I am going to try that as soon as possible, but as of now, its been "charging" for 4 hours now, and it still just shows the picture of the battery @ 0%, and wont boot. I honestly have no idea, I tried a few different micro USB chargers, with no luck. When I used my Galaxy S charger, it showed a "?" instead of a %", as if it was not even recognizing the battery.
I assume you have tried the charger that came with the phone and have also tried it connected to USB on a computer?
Have you tried reformatting the SD card (or tried another) -- that may affect boot. And/or have you tried booting w/o SIM? I know you updated, but it could be a coincidental battery failure.

Yes, that could be. But then again, it hasn't connected once to 3g after the update? I'm going to guess I have a battery failure, I kinda had a feeling that it might be that. It was so sudden though, I got great battery life, that lasted at least a full day to 2 days. And then after the update, it would hardly last 2 hours. The phone was also constantly warmer than usual, but I didn't have anything running. Im just going to hope that it was coincidental, and that right after I updated it, my battery died, and I didn't have it on GSM Auto (prl).
Welcome to my world...... I finally got to the point where I could only get Edge... Phone got replaced under warranty.
Hi,
Wondering if anyone is experiencing this issue.
Got the uk version of galaxy nexus, GT-I9250 ordered from an online store from the us. Only within the first 24 hours I experienced a time where I suddenly lost my 3g.. the signal bar shows no service. Only way to get back is to reboot phone.
After it happened few times and doing some testing, it turns out the radio just shuts down. Going to settings, about then status shows radio off. Going to the secret menu that gets accessed by typing a nmber also says radio is off. There is a button to turn radio on.. but it does nothing.
Tried factory reset, .didn't install any apps. Still issue occurred. Also noticed at random time before the total radio sshutdown, I do lose 3g few a minute then comes back.
See my screen captures showing issue attached.
The preferred network type when the radio works is shown as GSM/CDMA auto. During issue its unknown as shown in capture. Changing from unknown to gsm/cdma auto after failure does nothing.
Of course ttried to turm 3g on/off.... airplane mode on/off.. nothing works except a reboot.
I am on Kk1 radio. I didn't try kk6 as i didn't want to touch the phone in anyway to void warranty. my buddy has same phone but doesn't experience iissue. Same phone, same carrier, same city.
Any thoughts?
Maybe exchange it for a new one? My only advice

Have you tried running logcat to see if there are any logs to suggest whats crashing your radio?
Mine done exactly the same as yours and I am with Orange UK who stated I have a faulty sim card and are sending one out in the post to me so hopefully if that resolves mine you can also ask for a replacement sim card as well.
P.S I found that speediest.net knocks wireless/radio off sometimes and also wireless on mine can totally freeze as well so hoping this will be fixed asap by google.
I have same issue - loosing signal completely just with no reason very often. Turn phone off/on - works fine. I have brand new sim card and phone from Handtec, Vodafone UK.
Ditto for me as well. Purchased from Expansys, second round. It will move between 3G and H then shut off. Happened once so far. I'm using a MicroSIM with an adapter, both worked fine and are new.
I'll be watching this very closely. Someone with a Google account can post this to bring it to their attention?
Happened a second time but came back on. Attached a screen shot.
It does happen where the signal is lost, then comes back. That could happen few times before it goes down and then never comes back up at all. I used a program called signal alert to tell me when. It happens. I found that during the day signal is fully lost a number of times but it comes backafter less than a minute. at some point its lost and doesn't come back and only reboot fixes.
Bmstrong, the capture u showed me shows you lost data, but it seems you still have voice. Look at the screen I posted, u can see no bars what so ever in my signal meter.
When the issue occurs, its random, so by the time I find out and i ran alogcat, I would have missed it. Alogcat only shows me few minutrs before. However, I kept looking at alogcat after the fact and there was nothing that i could see that explains this.
I did try another sim while the trouble is occurring and no use.
I have requested rma from where I bought it and just waiting for authorization. Will share my experience with it and the store after.
Thanks,
Bmstrong, go to settings and about, then status to see if it says radio off. If it doesn't then it either your really lost 3g..maybe coverage or a different issue. In my case radio says its off and never comes back.
sorry to post a little off topic. but how do you see the first screen in the OP's post?
I'm getting this issue too, does anyone have any more information or has resolved this?
When going into the phone info screen does pressing "turn on radio" work for anyone? I have to do a reboot before I get signal back.

Luxferro, type *#*#info#*#* in your dialer.
I am on my second International HTC one X and both devices would lose the carrier signal quit often... I would either go to airplane mode, or turn the network off and on and it would grab it again. Sometimes it would be good for the day and other times, I would have to do it a few times....
I wanted to think it was my carrier having issues (MTS in Winnipeg MB Canada)... however, this has never happened on my many other devices. Now I wake up today and turn on the mobile data, after awhile... it does not connect, under settings it says disconnected because service is unavailable. I tried reboots, restart, airplane mode, checking apn settings.... on my last reboot, it says No signal/emergency calls only.
So now I am fearing a hardware issue (but I find it odd it happens on both my one xs).
I love this device and aside from this potentially huge issue.... I have no complaints, so I will ask here and see if you guys have any solid input.. before I contact htc!
I also popped my sim in and out, as of right now...
Thx in advance.
**update: it almost seems like putting wifi on, knocks out my carrier signal.... after an hour of doing the above things, I turned off wifi, went to airplane mode and now my signal and data is there (it makes no sense) and it is quite a hassle
The weirder part is, it seems to only be in the morning.... once I am up and running, I do not seem to have many issues through out the day, but If I put wifi on long enough... It goes to no signal/eventually....
If I do not put on wifi, it either does not drop.... or I am not noticing.
I've just begun having network problems but I'm not sure it's related to your situation. I'm in Australia on the Optus network.
It happened suddenly yesterday. Service completely cuts out for extended periods. It will occasionally come back on for a short while (long enough to download all my sms) but will then cut out again. When the signal does briefly come back in, the signal strength is decent: it's an all-or-nothing proposition.
Did you manage to resolve your situation? Would be interested to know what resolved it for you.
I've had this phone since early April when it was released here and the is the first issue I've had with it. I haven't done anything new to my phone in the past week so I'm finding this strange. I'm running Leedroid 4.0.0 but I've had that installed for weeks without issue. I'm worried it could be a hardware issue.
I'm going to try reflashing it tonight to see if it's a software issue.
When I try to turn on bluetooth, the icon and text indicates that the system is trying to turn it on. However, it never actually turns on and after a few minutes reverts to indicating that BT is shut off. This problem used to occur sporadically and sometimes seemed to be cured by rebooting. However it is now at the point that it just won't turn on no matter what. I did the requisite googling and found nothing very definitive. It looks like I may have to do an exchange on the unit but I would rather not go to the effort of unrooting this unit and rooting the replacement.
Any suggestions of things to try beyond what I have indicated above?

Are you using an experimental ROM or stock rooted?
Jedi Mind Trick XI (although the problem has been growing worse and has happened across the last several JMT versions). I will give a stock rooted ICS a try.
I just tried a stock rom and the problem persisted.
I have the same problem
I have scoured the net looking for an answer, any answer, to this problem. It seems that a few people are having the same issue. But before it is ever answered, some dip$#!t always jumps in and says "I have the same problem, my phone won't connect to my car." Then the conversation goes off into other people that can't connect their bluetooth to their car or their headset- or their cat... That is not the same problem!!!
I cannot turn my bluetooth on unless I soft reset the phone. Even after I've gotten the bluetooth working, if I restart my phone the bluetooth turns off and when you try to turn it on, it says "Turning on Bluetooth..." It cycles for about a minute and a half and then goes back to "To see devices, turn on Bluetooth."
I bought this phone on Amazon for what appeared (at the time) to be a reasonable price. Since then, I believe that I have read at least one of the seller's post about bluetooth not coming on (no proof, just an educated guess). The seller probably got rid of the phone because noone could or would give an answer to this problem. Heck, it's possible that every post that I've read so far is by someone who owned this phone at one point or another. :silly:
I am sending this post to XDA because even the adminstrators on android forums say that you guys are the smartest and most responsive forum available. (Okay, they didn't say smartest- it was implied). Please help me resolve this issue.
I rooted this phone the moment that I pulled it out of the box. In other words, I don't know if the bluetooth issue is caused by the root, or if the previous owner didn't root the phone and also couldn't get the bluetooth to work. I believe that, because the phone is rooted, I should be able to remove and reinstall the app that bluetooth is based upon.
I am not a techie, the only reason I know anything about root is because I was complaining to someone about my old phone and how all of the bloatware that seems to constantly run eventually kills my battery. He told me about rooting, and it was easy enough - the rest is history. In other words, if you ask me for more information- I promise that I can give it to you. Yet, have patience with me if I ask you a question that you believe that any person that has rooted their phone should know.
I really hope that you guys can help me without bricking my phone. I truly appreciate any suggestions or thoughts on this matter.
jzxpw6;34880517I cannot turn my bluetooth on unless I soft reset the phone. [/QUOTE said:
I may have figured out what is going on, although I can't understand why it is (maybe someone more versed with processes can help me figure this out).
Using Titanium Backup, I first froze the two bluetooth items (Bluetooth Share and Bluetooth Test). Of course, that didn't remove anything, but I wanted to make sure that I could. Then I wanted to see how Bluetooth Share would react without Bluetooth Test. I unfroze Bluetooth Share.
I was then able to turn on and off Bluetooth fine. I restarted the phone and Bluetooth came in just like it did on my old phone. I guess I want to know:
1) Is the Bluetooth Test the cause of my problem?
2) Why is it there?
3) If I uninstalled it, would I experience a major hiccup?
There is still the possibility that this was simply a fluke, and very soon I will go back to the old bluetooth soft reset problem.
There is, however, one distinct difference between this phone and the last and may be the "drop out" that everyone else seems to be having. I have a Chevy Malibu with bluetooth in the stereo. On my old phone, when I started the car and got going, the word "Bluetooth" would appear on the digital display for about 10 seconds, which means that the vehicle detected and connected the bluetooth pairing. Yesterday, as I was driving in the car, every 5 minutes or so, "Bluetooth" would appear on the digital display.
This leads me to the conclusion that Bluetooth is dropping out and being picked up continuously by my vehicle. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm okay with that as long as when I am talking to someone for more than 5 minutes I don't have to keep calling them back. I simply want to know what you guys think about this issue.

I am beginning to think that the problems I have had are related to the condition of the battery contacts.I have several third party batteries with contacts that are somewhat damaged from the pins on an external charger that came with them. I seem to experience a variety of problems when I try to use them.my original factory battery seems to work most of the time. I have several new Samsung batteries on order and will post again if they seem to solve the problem.

i had the same problem and it started with JMT so I switched roms countless times and the problem kept coming back. It would work for a little bit but when i turned it off it would not turn back on. I decided to go back to stock to see if the problem was still there and it was gone. Since then I have rerooted and once again flashing diff. rom every other day and bluetooth works just fine.
Well it seems no answer was found. I'm having the same issue as stated above. In my case, my bluetooth (custom ROM) keeps trying to turn on with the message "Turning On Bluetooth" until I soft reset the phone, after that it works fine.

Was having bluetooth crashes for months using CM 10.1 on a T989 (no custom kernels)
Would crash anytime I tried to connect to car BT audio, or would simply not start up.
Flashed this yesterday.... and no crashes!

For flash: Wiped dalvik/cache, flashed, fix permissions, reboot, start BT, deleted all devices, re-add.
No BT crashing of any sort for 36 hours now.

Hey thanks! I switched to JMT JB4 and it's not happening (much) now, I'll try to flash it and see if it fixes something :good:
