Hello,
My windows mobile signal is better than when i use xdandroid. Is it possible to change the radio and which one will be the best with android? When I boot xdandroid wifi works but when I disconnect wifi and try to reconnect it doesn't work!
Thanks
I have a Raphael with the latest xdandroid an Zimage
It uses the exact same radio firmware. It's probably just your perception...
Does wifi always have the on/off issue? I never use wifi, but if that's the case you may want to file a bug. I'll see if I have the same behavior.
Seems like it's just because [Signal strength in dBm] / [Number of displayed bars] in Android differs from WM. At least, my RAPH100 loses network signal in Android and WM exactly in same conditions.

Hi there
Been browsing the forums for a while now hoping that someone else would have had this problem and there is a solution. In vain, I have started this thread.
I've been running various ROMs on my JasJam for a while now, but all of them seem to exhibit the same behaviour when using VoIP and switching between WiFi and 3G.
If I am using 3G, no problems using VoIP to make calls and I can happily toggle between "Available" and "Selected" on the Today plugin. Switch to WiFi, and everything still works as it should. Switch off WiFi, and the Today plugin changes to "searching" then after a while, "No service". Whatever I try e.g setting to "Never", disconnecting and reconnecting data etc, nothing works to get me back to making VoIP calls over 3G, except a soft reset.
I suspect there is something going on between the phone app, WiFi stack and session management, but that's the limit of my knowledge on the subject.
It would be great if there is a solution to this problem as it affects the useability of what is, otherwise, a very useful application in WM6.
Cheers

Radio:1.48.00.00
I have a Raph120 running the 1.14.25.05 radio ROM. I get both GPRS and 3G data connections under Android, so in that respect I can't complain.
However, when I move from cell to cell and/or drop from 3G to GPRS I lose data connection. It claims I still have a data connection, but no data is sent or received. I have to switch airplane mode on and off to reenable it.
Now, I have noticed a HUGE difference under WinMo when using various radio ROMs with and without their corresponding rilphone.dll. So, what's the best ROM to use with Android's RIL? Is there any difference or will it always use some kind of "legacy" mode.
From my understanding, different radio ROMs do not change anything with Android, but I could be wrong.
I have a raph 101 (at&t fuze) running the latest kernel and latest xdandroid build. I have a femtocell (at&t microcell) and I don't think I've ever been able to receive data (been testing android for a few months now), however, my upload seems to be fine.
If I disconnect the femtocell and connect to the crappy service in my area I can get full speed upload/download.
So what I'm wondering is if anyone else is running a femtocell and if they are also having trouble with their down-side connection. I dont think its a network issue as I have tried everything from opening ports in my firewall to adding the femtocell to my dmz.
Suggestions welcome...
PS: Windows mobile can reach the internet and has perfect upload/download speeds.
I heard some guys on Sprint having the same issue with their airrave... Does WinMo automatically connect to your femtocell or do you have to tell WinMo to use it?
Both os's automatically connect as the femtocell becomes the strongest signal and so the radio just does the standard tower handoff.

That's what I would expect... Hm. Very odd, as I don't see how the phone would care whether it's connected to your femtocell or to the normal towers.
You may want to poke around on IRC & ask if anyone uses a device like this. Never heard anyone talk about it - sorry I can't really can't provide any help here...
Yeah I'll try irc but I think its gonna require a bug report to the kernel guys. There must be some sort of low level difference between a femtocell and a tower as far as the kernel communicating with the radio is concerned.

I have a problem with wifi after I put update on 2.3.3
whether it can solve this problem with wifi.
I always shoot and it turns the wifi network.
be a good wifi network signal then disappears
Same problem here
This is a very serious problem. Get ur act together HTC, this is just unacceptable!
Are you rooted? HTC raised the signal strength at which the connection would be dropped, there is a fix if you are rooted, otheewise you are stucm and will have to wait for HTC to correct this.
Sent from my Desire HD
Have you tried another radio? of course be careful if you do change it
same issue, though htc say that its a "new feature" to provide a seamless mobile broadband experience by automatically chosing the strongest signal. whatever you say htc
i just disable mobile data at home, so it cant jump back to 3g and stays on wifi. the annoying thing with this is that i forget to enable mobile data when leaving the house.
i hope they sort it out, and that this new feature isn't rolled out across their other products
I am having the same problem. At work, my wifi connection is weak, but was always functional. Now, I cannot connect to my work wifi. On top of that, my battery drains twice as fast on my phone, and I'm thinking that it's due to the phone always scanning and trying to connect to the wifi signal. If it's true that HTC changed the level at which the wifi signal is dropped, this was a terrible decision.

I think this may answer/point to the problem I'm having since installing the Gingerbread RUU. I use the quick settings app from the market and pre-gingerbread it used to switch between wi-fi/mobile pretty seemlessly, turning off the unused option. Now if there's no wi-fi connection that option seems to stay on (probably searching) while it's connected to mobile data. As above, my battery is draining like a sieve.

Same problem for me with Original Rom.
so i tried the Revoloution HD 5.1.4 and same problem again!
Hi guys until HTC release an OTA fix (that's if they do) the only way to resolve this is to root and then try some different ROM and radio combinations until you find one that works for you.
I find the ROM and radio from my signature work really well on WiFi but if you are going to do this make sure and root, gain S-OFF and ENG S-OFF. Also make sure you have the correct RIL for the ROM and radio that you are using
There are lots of threads on the dev section that guide you through this.
Wifi connecting
I have a similar problem with wifi connection. Only it doesn't disconnect during a connection but when establishing a wifi connection it takes much longer than it used to on Froyo. Anyone else noticed this?
i have problem too with wifi
I really hope htc has stopped the updates and resumes with a new build with the wifi problem fixed
The issue is with the Gingerbread Sense ROMs.

WiFi problems with routers
Hi there,
Same problem here. Both my WiFi router and phone say signal and reception quality are perfect and connection it stable, but data won't flow.
I'm having this problem with my Speedtouch (WEP key) router at home, whereas a Sitecom router at the office works fine (WPA etc. key).
Tried some work arounds, without success
Regards
***EDIT***
I can add that it has nothing to do with the reported threshold of -88dB signal strength. As I checked that with the *#*#4636#*#* option and both higher and lower values of the WiFi reception don't make any difference. The problem persists.
***EDIT v2***
The suggestion posted elsewhere to change from WEP to WPA didn't work out either
***EDIT v3***
Reverted back to ARHD 3.7 and WiFi is running fine again .
Hope some fix will be found soon!
Regards,
Is there any solution. I am trying to downgrade the radio but no chance.
If I use LeeDroid or Revolution will this same problem be there?
Hey guys,
So I've noticed that I cannot do voice and data simultaneously (call someone and surf the web at the same time). I know its supposed to be possible under 3G and HSDPA for GSM networks. I am in a perfectly good HSDPA region (3G too for that matter, but my phone shows the H icon).
The only reason I can think that it is not working is because I am currently using the Vision_Radio_12.52. 60.25_26.08.04.30 (from *LEAK* Vision_Gingerbread_S_TMOUS_2.13) radio which is not the newest one.
So will upgrading my radio solve the problem (I can do voice and data fine individually.)? Or is it just not possible for some reason with this phone?
You can but only with 4g, the h on stock means 4 or 3g
No same for me and I am on a different radio the one ending .12,data turns off when talking,as to the reason why, I dont know, I just know it does not work.

Ok, but like I said, I am seeing an H indicating that I should be on a HSDPA network (there is a seperate 3G icon when I am in 3G).
Regardless of 3G or 4G, I thought GSM can support voice + data over both 3G and 4G.
Bombadier is using the latest radio and is having the same problem so I wonder what is the reason behind this...
Radio and ROM specs in my signature, I have no problems talking and surfing while in H or 3G.

Quick question do you have mobile network data always on?
Whatever the default is, I never manually turn it off, but I do use juice defender and allow it to turn off mobile data only when my screen is off.
Should of said on the phone running Unity, as I have it set from settings - wireless and network - mobile networks - not always on, will change it to always on and see if the connection stays on while talking.
Edit Just tested and the data connection stays on while I am on the phone,the OP should try mobile networks always on then.
My mobile network is already set to Always On.
When I get back home, I will update my ROM to the latest InserCoin v1.61 and the newest radio and report back. Hopefully, that will fix my problems.
Also, once I flash the newest radio, will I have to flash RIL too?
Just remember, newest radio doesn't always mean the best radio. I'm using an old one that after trying 5 different radios turned out to be the best.
Not sure about RIL's on sense though...
Seems to be all quiet about the need to match the rils,I used to, but had a few bad experiences matching the rils on the new unity releases 2.35+ so have stopped doing it,certainly with AOSP based roms it is not recommended to match,hope you get your problem sorted.
P.S. As the other chap said,the newest radio does not always mean the best radio,a bit of experimentation is required,also be sure to wipe the EFS data when changing radios.Link to a flashable zip can be found in the radio thread.
Updating to the newest ROM, kernel, and radio solved the problem. Thanks everyone for the help!
