3G and H stuck on "upload" - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys!
My problem is the following: I can't connect to the internet via mobile network, because the 3G symbol is stuck on "uploading" (the arrow is either lit or blinks). Sometimes it stops, switches to H, does nothing and goes back to 3G with the upload arrow lit.
I have flashed a new radio + IRL and still the problem persists. I've tried wiping my device and installing a bunch of different ROMs, all without success Now I can't even connect to my Google account after I have flashed a new ROM, because it gets stuck on "uploading" as soon as it gets a 3G signal.. very strange!
Would be glad if somebody could help me out here thanks guys!
PS: it could also be a temporary issue with the carrier.. anyone on 3 Austria here?

Hello!
I have the same problem with Oxygen 2.0 ROM, but I experienced this issue with the stock HTC ROM as well. Have you found a solution for this annoyance? My provider is 3 from Austria, the same as yours.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
As far as I know, 3 Austria have made slight modifications to their network (4G and other stuff I guess). I have noticed that I don't have a 3G icon anymore, I only have H, and since this change happened, the network is kinda messed up.
I think they are still working on getting these little problems fixed, so I guess it's just a matter of time

3G connection frequently stops/hangs

Hi Folks,
I've had my SIMfree Desire for a few days now and since the off I've been having some problems with the 3G data connection.
No matter what app I'm in, though the signal meter shows I have a very strong 3-4 bar 3G connection, after a short initial burst of HSDPA the connection seems to just stall and hangs until I restart the connection. It does this in both my work and home cell zones some 40 miles apart so it doesn't appear to be a problem with the cell zone. Sometimes it'll clear and carry on quite quickly, other times I get bored of waiting.
It drives me nuts in the browser and Market where surfing becomes neigh on impossible. In other apps (Stocks, Friendstream/Facebook, News, Android keyboard, etc.) I can usually come back later and I may or may not be lucky.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
I am on Orange so I'd be grateful if someone who's on Orange with rock solid 3G performance could post/PM me their settings so that I can check mine - though I haven't messed with them.
Could an app be causing this?
Many thanks!

Update: From posts here, and the experience of a mate with a Desire on Vodaphone, it seems that many others are experiencing this problem regardless of network.
I've had all my settings checked by Orange Tech Support and though they made some changes they made absolutely no difference.
I emailed HTC about this yesterday but when I get home tonight I'll be following that up with a phone call. Can we all do the same so they actually realise it may be a problem with the phone itself?
Cheers All!
I have the same issue too with my Orange handset, thought i was in a bad area at the time but maybe not.... hmmmmm.....
I got this issue yesterday as well
I tried to browse the internet via 3G ... and it just stucked ... only the "up arrow" were lighted (traffic up) ... but no traffic down.
The icon went from 3G then H ... then 3G ...
Very frustrating ...
But after about 5 minutes ... I was able to browse internet.
I hate this.
Unlocked, unbranded, htc retail version.
I have an unlocked Desire on Voda and it only loses connection when I *try* to send a picture message.
Could someone else try test this please?
It's happening for me too. Just got this yesterday and on the Vodafone network. This is the perfect phone for me, but with this hanging / drop out 3G issue is really frustrating. Hope HTC fixes this soon or i will be stuck with a lemon

So most of the posts here confirm that it is the phone and not the network, as there is another thread with T-mobile users have issues with 3G.

I saw that thread but didn't add to it. It does appear that it isn't just T-Mobile and my phone, but something that many folks are experiencing regardless of network or area.
From what I can read of the other thread it appears that T-Mobile are accept responsibility as a network problem but as others on other networks are seeing the same issues I'm not convinced it is a network problem.

I think you could be on the mark this one, now a few operators are running the handset the issue is becoming apparant not just on T-Mobile devices.
Certainly something that HTC needs to address. T-Mobile, Orange and Voda customers all experiencing the same issue.....hmmmmm
It is definitely a problem for more Desire owners. A bit anoying if you are a hardcore mobile Internet user. And indeed, sending a picture to Facebook is already too much over 3G.
Do you guys also have problems maintaining a connection? for example today my data connection disconnected twice.. The only way to get it connected again is by enabling and disabling airplane mode.
Ive had same problem on my hero but not noticed on my Desire, both are on orange, happens loads on Hero Orange not able to explain must admit i just live with it as like the phones so much.
My problem seems to be fixed. When I started using the phone out of the box my apn setting for Vodafone Australia had been detected. What I did to make it work, was that I deleted the apns and reentered from scratch. My 3g connection seems to be more stable and consistent now.
This happens on mine also, and I've used 3 operators, in UK and Australia. It just hangs the connection, so I just have to switch connection off or go airplane mode, it will then work fine for a while.

When you have this problem ... Did you see the "3G icon" keep changing to "H" (HSDPA) then "3G" then "H" ?
That was in my situation. It looks the phone cannot maintain its data connection.
When it works, it works and fast, either on "H" or "3G".
Note that I am checking this problem on the same location, at my home And it is covered by "H" (hence sometimes it works).
Could this be a problem on signal stability of the mobile operator/provider?
I am thinking to buy a prepaid from other mobile operator and test it.
PS: I am using T-Mobile NL atm, planning to test Vodafone NL prepaid.
I'ce been browsing the web for about half an hour.Uploading, downloading stuff.
No problems with the connection whatsoever.I live in Antiparos Greece and my provider is Cosmote.
I have a sim free, unlocked, retail HTC Desire running the latest firmware and stock settings.

I've noticed this as well, when it's on 3g I can't actually browse but on g or h then it's fine! I'm on t-mobile.

Not exactly what I want to hear
I have the exact same problem with my HD2 on TMOBILE UK and am getting the Desire tomorrow BECAUSE of this.
I REALLY hope it won't be the same case, in that case it's a common thing.
HD2 AND DESIRE both have this issue.
There is/was a well acknowledged issue with the Nexus One and 3G connection (on T-mobile) - search it on Google.
There's nothing so far (that I've read) that says it is definitely the phone or the network.
I have the same problems.
Please contact the HTC support about this issue, perhaps they will release a fix for it.

[Q] ORANGE - data drop on all roms

Hi All,
(if this has been answered before, i have tried searching and couldn't find the answer)
I have a debranded, unlocked, rooted orange htc desire running on pays froyo v1.8
the radio i'm running is 32.43.00.32u_5.09.00.20 as advised by most devs that create the roms.
since debranding my phone my 3g connection has been really unreliable. specifically it drops off, I then have to go to airplane and then back on and it works or reboot. It has been the same across all roms i've flashed.
has anyone else had this problem? and is it a software issue or should i get a new phone because its hardware?
Is it just 3G? Does it stay on if you force it onto GSM only?
My Orange branded but unlocked device would miss calls, not send SMS and couldn't even call voicemail when it was acting up. This went away if you forced 2G.
Problem has gone away now though. My workmate had the same issues on Orange, see is thread on Android foums here.
Yep, I have the same problems now. I was originally using vodafone, but switched as they annoyed me. Now the data connection with orange is extremely erratic and sometimes I lose signal all together.
It's the same on both LeeDroid and Modaco.
Same problem here. Have to reboot the phone to get the connection back. Using OpenDesire.
But is on both 2G and 3G?
Try dropping the handset into GSM only.

Yeah, both. I had Orange send me a new sim. Now I can connect to 3g, but sometimes it just refuses to recieve any data. At least I actually have a signal though.
Me too. What i'd like is for someone still on the stock orange rom to send us their build.prop file. Anyone?

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...

Data Not working...... Help !

Been flashing the DHD for about a year now and never had a problem with it.
S-OFF ENG etc, running MDJ's 3.1.1 ROM.
Not flashed the phone for a week or so but as of this afternoon my mobile network just sits at "Turning on.."
Will not connect data.
Wireless OK. just no data.
Ive not messed, installed, uninstalled anything for a while and this morning it was working ok.
Anyone got any ideas ?
+1. Same here. Was working fine, then I noticed the data icon was missing.
Have tried different roms, radios, etc. But no joy.
Any help, gratefully received on this matter.
Just out of interest, what network are you on?
Edit. Definitely something wrong with Orange. Unable to connect to my account with the Orange app.

+1 same stock 2.2.1 with orange. No data

I have had the same problem, but had related it to a dodgy data import from MyBackupPro as it was working and then wasn't. Nothing I did would bring it back apart from a factory reset. I didn't reload the data and it's been OK so far but it could be a similar problem.
I am on stock Gingerbread.
Just flashed a new ROM, problem solved. Couldn't be bothered waiting months no doubt for orange to update to 2.3 and put all their crapware on it.

?
by saying no data you mean in 3g networks?
Yeah 3g

see if you stuck NPC data in the phone company
I’ve experienced this too when I was in some areas, it happened in place you’ve been before and used 3g?
In my country whenever I go to the beach I lose 3g network and it keeps trying to connect...
Probably you know it, but...
If you use widget to turn on/off your data, and if you changed ROM from older to Gingerbread, it seems that this doesn't work. It is partially true- widget doesn't work anymore, but you can still turn on/ off your data from upper dock -> quick settings -> cellular network data (or something similar )
Me too, and I'm running stock 2.3.3 on Vodafone UK. No icon by signal strength bars, although apparently signal strength at -75dBm.
I can force it into 2G by selecting GSM only and the icon comes back, but not so for WCDMA only.
Also noticed in Quick settings from pull down notification bar that 'Mobile Network' is always 'Turning on...' and won't toggle.
Any ideas?

Guys, unfortunately i have this same problem. My only option was just use the 3G signal (selecting on network settings). Its been passed 5 months and i still dont know how to fixed. I tried every ******* thing and the problem remains, at least choosing the 3g signal i can use my phone as a phone !!
obs: the problem started after updating to original MM.
I also have this issue, or similar.
Mine occurs when i connect to wifi whilst using 4g. If the 4g signal drops it wont automatically switch down to 3g. I have to do it manually , by changing to 2g/3g in network settings. auto/2g/3g/4g works fine whilst not connected to wifi though.
Mine seemed to start doing this when i first flashed MM or Fulmics.
I have tried flashing old radios, doing a complete unroot factory stock kds flash but nothing has fixed the issue.
Anyone any pointers or an explanation as to what could have possibly happened?
Cheers all
I had the same problem.
I flashed RPM and correct modem.
No signal drop anymore but no LTE.
Flashed modem again and RRom and it works perfect now!
I guess I should flashed the modem twice at the beginning.
