Hi guys, just flashed a new rom (jm7).. everything went ok.. but when I rebooted I notice that I get just about no signal in areas where I used to before get full bars.
Tried going back to other rom's but no luck, I still continuously get a poor signal. One thing I did notice is that right after boot the signal slowly goes to 5 bars (even in areas with bad signal) and then slowly goes down to 0-1. This same instance happens when I place a phone call as well.
Any ideas? I can barely use data when this is going on as well.
Try going into mobile networks and network operators and see if there's a second option for your network. You might be connected to a weather signal. It's under wireless settings. Happened to me.

Are you sure that your network operator make some not some work on cell bt in your area? One time i have too like you bad and wrong signal, and make all with my galaxy, reboot,recovery, signal refresh app, APN point new entered, but still problem. After all, I call my operater and they say me:" Sorry , we make same work on cell base station in area your city !!! Sorry for bad signal, we busy to make repair speedy !!! "
Best regards
Sorry double post
Thanks for the responses... no go sadly.. tried switching the 3 different "bell" networks and only 1 allowed me to connect. As for signal str in area, a friend who has the same network has 4 full, while i only get 1
I've tried reformatting/reflashing/reseting and nothing has worked.. what am i missing?

Hi,
I have some data connection problems since the first day i bought my DHD.
The phone reception signal bar are always changing even when i am not moving at all.
It can generally move from H to 3G a few times, then go to E and then G, in a few seconds.
it always moves, my internet connection is very slow.
It's as if the radio was always trying to renegociate the method of communication (GPRS, 3G, etc) with the operator's antenna
When i am in a phone call, i got disconnected sometimes or the sound stop during a few seconds (the time the radio switch from 3G/H to E/G i guess)
When i disable WCDMA from the settings i get a quite stable sound during my phones calls (maybe because the phone no more tries to negociate). But for Internet... it's just slow.
I tried a few ROMs, and their respectives radio rom (the one with the IRL branded in the ROM) i sometimes thought it was better but always it's still too unuseable.
I tried my SIM card in an iphone 3GS and i am usually in Edge (sometimes 3G) but when its 3G i can surf quickly during hours (if i don't move). This is not the case with the DHD.
btw i am on the french carrier SFR
If any of u had any clues i would really appreciate your help.
Thanks you
what rom are you using and what radio and ril................... now what radio are you on now
OP already stated he tried numerous ROMS and their cooresponding radios. Sounds like the signal is that degraded that any radio/ril combination will not help.
Thanks for your replies.
As said i tried many ones with their respective recommanded radio.
I am actually trying Radio_12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M with Android Revolution HD 4G_6.1.1 with no sense script.
Are there tests i could do to identify if its a hardware problem (like standing in front of an antenna and running some special tool maybe)
Btw, i also tried :
-RCMix3D_Runny_v1.3 but does work with internet pass through (wich is really important since i can't use internet from my phone carrier...)
-niarkMIUI-3.9.1
-LeeDrOiD_HD_V4.0.0-SE-3.0-BETA with Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2
-cm_ace_full-203 with my stock radio ROM
-virtuous_unity-v2.37.0 with i don't remember wich one...
P.S : i would be Glad to test any ROM / Radio combinaison you would suggest me.
Thanks by advance for your attention
if you tried all those roms and diffident radios seems like its more like a hardware or provider issue does it happen off different towers or maybe you can go to one of the stores and try the phone at the store with yours at the same time?
Thank for the advice indeed i need to try this.
Do you know what i need to revert back for the tech not to tell the waranty is over since i have flashed my phone ?
Does i need to reflash the recovery etc? is there some tutorial in this subject because if i go to the store with my custom rom i guess i won't get too much help :/
Don't even take out your phone, your going to say your just looking, don't show anyone your phone, they won't even know what to look for, just test your phone to the one at the store, make sure apn's match. But if you return your phone you'll need to ruu back to stock. You can search easy s-on

What happens if you manually select 3G only, or 2G only from the settings menu? Does it just lose signal, or stays strong?
Hi
If i select 3G only
I first get no reception (as if when switching from 2G to 3G the radio had to restart)
Then the 3G signal appear strong, decrease slowly in less than 30 seconds, and after all, it seems quite stable.
The bandwidth is good i am downloading fastly
(i am commenting in real time)
Still no deconnection.
I will try it during the whole day and tell how it is behaving.
umm during a few seconds, there were no indicator (no 3G or H), just 3 bars.
It then restarted in H with 1 bar (i am not moving at all)
What will happen if i have no 3G in my area ? I won't be able to receve a phone call ?
Thanks

If you force it to 3G only, and you move out of 3G area, then you should either get a no signal indicator, or if you have roaming enabled, you would get the roaming indicator. I'm curious now because as you said you aren't moving, and it's still changing. That shouldn't happen. Hmmm
I'm running my Captivate glide on Orange network (device is unlocked).
I rooted it following all the steps shown in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1378082 (BTW, works great thanks).
I kept AT&T rom, but issue happens also with Rogers rom.
This happens only on 3G/3G+ connections.
WiFi works great.
The issue looks quite simple: data connection drops (very) often.
No more email push notifications, ...
Have to go to Settings > Network > Airplane mode : switch it on and then witch it off to get data connection back.
It is not an operator issue. My other phone(s) are using the same and data connection works.
Is this a radio rom issue ? Is there a fix ? (didn't find a thing related to that issue).
Anyone having this issue ?
Depends on how strong your network is, I have experienced this a few times.
I keep getting this now that I have had more experience with it, anyone else experiencing random sharp drops in data speed/connection?

Well, I have 4 out of 5 bars... Signal looks strong enough to me.
If I use the same SIM card in a HTC MyTouch 4G slide => Works great, no data connection drops at all !
Looks like it depends on what programs are running and using the data connection:
- email push - connection last long enough.
- when I'm running Bejive (IM) - connection last a bit less (before the 1st drop).
- when I add Skype & LoudTalks : almost every 5 minutes connection drops.
I also noticed that after a voice phone call, sometimes data connection doesn't (cannot) restart by itself ...
Here is an idea :
Is there a way to tweak Operator connection like it can be done with HTC phones : GSM + CDMA, CDMA Only ?
Because when you switch the phone to CDMA only, it uses different frequencies and allow to keep data connections while talking on the phone.
Didn't find that option in Captivate Glide settings ...

Settings --> Wireless and Network --> Mobile Networks --> Network Mode
Didn't make a difference for me using HSPA only.

I just checked ... I don't have the "Network Mode" option in "Mobile Networks" section.
I have Roaming, allow data connection, APN, ... but not Network mode.
Weird...
I checked the operator info. Nothing out of the ordinary there.
I'm stuck ...and it keeps happening. No solution for now.

Maybe try flashing the Rogers kernel and ROM since that's what I have?

Already did that, but that was a few days ago when looking for the WiFi tethering feature ...
I'll flash it back to Rogers kernel & ROM and test.
Update: Flashed Rogers rom.
Good news is I now have the Network settings back. (AT&T rom is not the right one, for sure !)
Data connection last longer. But the issue is still here.
Still investigating...
Anyone else having this issue ?
the day before yesterday, I went to the copier room in my school and stayed for about 2 hours (too many copying). before i get out, i have no signal (mobile network not available). I need to go out to have signal back or reboot.
It happened again yesterday on the exact same location, I'm going to be there again now.
I believe it might be location wise....in my case at least.

I checked, looks like it is not linked to a specific location. I've been travelling and issue kept occuring.
Once data connection is ok, it usually stays up for 2 to 5 minutes, then drops.
"4G" symbol is still displayed - but no more data connection. Web pages not available in browser, no email sync, no more IM, ...
While data connection is down, Cellphone still works, WiFi as well.
It may be linked to an APN issue ... Or definitely a Radio ROM issue.
I'm running Baseband I927RUXKJ5.
Anyone else having this issue ?
When I got the phone the AT&T rep told me there was a known issue with the phone dropping down to lower data speed. He told me if I experienced it to get a new SIM card. Doesn't sound exactly the same but maybe try that?
Hey all, I have the T-MO and I am having a hard time getting connected to the network. I would like to post my status to see if this is a carrier problem or my phone problem.
Network: T-Mo
Signal strenght -87 dBm 13asu
Mobile Network type. keeps changing from UMTS to HSPA
Service: In Service
Mobile Network state: keeps changing from Connecting and disconnected.
I have rebooted the phone a few times, I am running
Android ver 2.3.6
Kernel 2.6.35.14-SGH-T989
Mod Version Juggernaut -v5.0
Any and all information will be greatly appreciated.
Ciao~

My phone is doing the same too. I don't think its a phone issue since my bro has a unrooted Mytouch 4g and he does not have internet on his phone either.
I am in San Diego. Where are you located at?
Same here, in San Diego.
My internet just came back up, Tmo must had a small outage.
Mine happens all the time....internet hangs n I have to turn off data n turn back OK...that helps but it is annoying

Well that was the first thing I tried, turning data on and off, Airplane mode, Even a reboot. No Dice this time.
Things looks like its back to normal for me. I don't know about the others tho. They never said anything yet.
So periodically my phone is active and working... all of a sudden i have full strength in bars but I can not transmit a call, recieve a call or use data and anyone calling will automatically goto voicemail. I'm beyond mind boggled what in the world is happening.
Im using wind mobile as my phone carrier and using UKID as the baseband.
Would appreciate any help or support.
same thing is happening to my phone.
I can not transmit a call, recieve a call (some times)
Im using 2.3.6 official rom.
Anyone know anything about
it was once happened to me as well. That was because of poor reception area. What I did was to manually search and select the network provider instead of automatic selection, this pretty much solved my issue in that area. Give it a go and share your result. Also restart your phone once before doing this.
Very odd.
Tried the above and still facing the same issue.
Pulled battery and sim card to be safe for a minute. turn on phone and went and did manual search. will have running service for about 5 minutes or so and the poof... doesnt exist.

I have middle signal strength -89dbm
I got a SGH T989 and got it unlocked for use in India..worked great for 2 months and then i rooted,flashed AOKP jellybean using CWM....after that, worked great for 1 month... Now the problem is that.....
My phone shows full signal and in the "about phone" menu,the signal strength is -100dBm BUT i cannot make calls and i'm out of coverage area for others.. The weird thing is that this happens only at certain spots (unfortunately, my workplace)...the device works just fine in other places...i ruled out a network issue coz my sim is good in other phones at the problem zones.
I tried another network's sim and it had call drop issues....the call would get disconnected after a few minutes and the duration of the call wasn't constant....this was also when the phone showed signal strength of around -100dBm. I had used this network before and it was working good with the phone..
I tried a master reset, complete system format in CWM recovery, reverted back to stock rom using odin, changed radios (UVLE1,UVLH1 and UVLI1)....nothing has worked so far.
There was no external injury or water damage to the phone, i didn't install any app outside of the play store and i use genuine charger for my phone.
I love my phone too much to let go....please gimme a solution
Thanks!!
