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...

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.
I use my DHD for a lot of internet surfing. Usually i do it over mobile nework and it works fine. Sometimes though, i use WiFi for faster access.
After using WiFi for some time, if i again try to connect through the mobile network, it does not connect.
If i go into settings and turn on mobile network, it says turning on, and stays like that forever. If i press back and then come back into the network settings, the mobile network option shows as checked, but the status displays as "Connect to the internet". No icon is displayed in the notification bar, and i am not able to browse the net.
I have tried everything, switching to Airplane mode and back, turning WiFi on and off again, but nothing works. The only solution to this problem i'v found is to restart my phone. Once i restart, everything is back to normal (that is till i use WiFi again).
Has anyone else faced similar issues? Any suggestions for a possible solution?
PS: I am using unbranded, unrooted DHD with stock ROM (1.84.720.3)
I've noticed the issue a few times myself.
There seems to be no better solution other than to reset the phone.
I've only got it a couple of times and it doesn't seem frequent and so I don't really mind.
Similary I noticed that randomly the search networks feature freezes and after a few minutes reports that no networks were found, luckly, no reset is needed, only going back a couple of times and searching again
Hope someone else already found a solution to this and can post it!

I was facing this problem only once in a while, and didn't mind much. But lately, i'v been facing this problem everytime i use WiFi, and it's really bugging me now.
I really hope someone has a solution for this.
The same thing is happening to me on my htc MT3G slide (not using wifi) after I flashed a ROM and updated the radio to the most recent one. Dunno why this is happening :/ It's the same rom (rooted version) and I updated to the same radio I had before. Restarting doesn't help either
I have got the same problem sometimes. And the easiest sollution is to turn to airplane mode and leave for few seconds. After that turn it off enter pin and everything back to normal. It have always worked for me.

Hi,
Two days back my htc desire suddenly lost connection to the mobile network. I now get a small cross on top of the signal bars and "no service" written on the notification bar. Sometimes this changes to "sos".
The wifi is working fine. t
The only problem is voice and data over the mobile network.
I tried a lot of things:
reboot
flashed a new radio
complete wipe/ factory reset
flashed a new rom
But to no avail.
A strange thing did occur though, at a mall, my phone suddenly started working for a few minutes and then went back to the same state as before. This same thing happened last night too.
I am unable to understand this and request all of you to help.
current status:
Phone: htc desire amoled
s-on
bb: 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23
miui 17.15
Ring your provider.
S.O.S. Problem

How to solve this? I tried flashing to CM7 and its fine.
So I assume the problem would be the ROM
Any solution to this? Patches or something?
I would love to continue on using MIUI
Thanks all
Regarding the above problem.. had the same thing... what i did is this..
on dial pad use *#*#4636#*#*
then goto phone information (first one)
scroll down you'll see "set preferred network type"
mine was selected "WCDMA" I changed that to "GSM Only"
Since then no problem of S.O.S has come to me
I am sending it here because I am unable to post in the forum... something to do with minimum of 10 Post.. Hope this helps
Guys thanks for your replies.
I have already done the *#*#4636#*#* bit and it hasn't helped.
Regarding the rom, I was originally on cyanogenmod 7 when this problem started. I re-flashed CM7. Didn't help. Then i flashed miui. the problem remains.
Although I would like to add that over the past two days, at two different locations, I have been able to make one call and recieve one. How this happens, I don't know.
Still trying to figure it out but I just read elsewhere on this forum an exactly similar problem being faced by a few people during the last few days.... so keeping my fingers crossed.
Ah! and one more thing, I have tried sim cards of almost all operators and none work in this phone.
Same problem here aswell,
me too tried every thing,
but non of them helpfull..
Still searching for help
This may seem like a dumb question, but the people experiencing this problem, are you in the same country/region?

A little update in my situation:
I visited another city for an hour yesterday and the phone latched onto vodafone in seconds and worked like a charm but as soon as i got back to base, it was back to its dead state.
This is a really confusing situation because, one moment it seems like its a hardware problem (since none of the operator's sims tend to work in it while in delhi) and then sometimes it seems to be a network problem (as it seems to work just fine in some areas)
Guys, please.... please help. This is so frustrating.
guys i'm still waiting for a reply.... doesn't anyone here have a solution to my problem?
Install cm7, then full wipe and then install freshly your new rom.
I did that way and after that was network connection back.
Sry my bad english!

sigh

Hey this worked but only partially. Now the phone does latch on to network at most places except two: my workplace and home.
And in some places it shows full signal strength but calling is not possible.
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
Hey everbody. this is my first post on here. and I have a really annoying issue.
OK, i bought an unbranded Galaxy Note II N7100 4.1.2 jelly bean couple of months ago and that issue seemed to be there since the beginning.
It's that when I'm connected to internet through mobile data on WCDMA, all of a sudden the "received" signal (orange arrow) won't flash any more while green arrow flashes every two seconds and i have no internet access no matter what i do, the only thing that can temporarily fix this is that i restart my phone and then the internet is perfect again for a not certain interval of time and then the issue happens again, it won't come back until i restart the phone again.
Sometimes it could stay for 12 hours before it happens and sometimes i could keep restarting my phone every five minutes, it's really annoying.
I've tried all the known tricks like hard reset, deleting all apps, i disabled so many services or apps that may cause this problem, I disabled all syncing apps, i deleted, re installed APNs, i changed my SIM card and finally i subscribed for another network provider and it still happens
I'm really at a loss, I don't know what causes this problem.
Is it a hardware issue? but if it was a hardware issue, it wouldn't work at all even after restart, right? is it some bug in the built-in 4.1.2 jellybean?
And i also may say that i receive calls normally, the WIFI works perfectly and the GSM mobile data works all the time no problems, it only happens on the WCDMA ONLY or the AUTOMODE.
The H , H+ or 3G sign is up there but the orange arrow all of a sudden won't flash and no internet access at all untill i restart the phone.and this issue may start to happen even if the mobile data is off all day and when i turn it on BOOM the issue seems to be there even before turning it on.
I hope you guys can help me with this...thanks

Flashing a custom ROM is really easy, and there is no way u can brick your phone if you do the steps correctly.
