Hi I have a Desire, it has been in for repair because despite showing it has a signal, i cant recieve texts or calls, HTC said there was no fault, but T Mobile sent me a new phone the next day. So now i have a spare Desire, that I would like to try and fix. Any ideas as to what controls the signal? Is it the Radio, the Rom or the Kernel. I am happy to try any of these, I have tried different Roms, so I am guessing its not that.
It has the following.....
Android 2.2.1
Baseband 32.54.0032U_5.14.05.17
Software 1.84.661.1
Try updating the radio its a .zip update that has a new radio rom in it.
Its the same way you update the phones rom

I have flashed the latest Radio, and the phone is still the same, its very strange.
Sometimes I can make calls on it, but just seems that it wont recieve call, even with bars on the signal meter.
Any other ideas fellow flashers !!!

Using Oxygen ROM 1.0.4 right now with latest radio 32.56, but had the same problem with previous radio and 2.03 versions (and the ROM versions before as well).
Some calls (seemingly only from other mobile phones) don't get through to me. My provider sends an SMS for missed calls, which is awkward, because the SMS tells me, that just a minute ago someone tried calling me. Even when the phone is still in the exact same position on my desk.
Anybody else noticing this issue? Any suggestions? Can this even be related to the radio or is it the ROM? Or even the provider?
As a next step I'm gonna try another radio and/or ROM, but really like Oxygen...
Thanks a lot...
I have/had a similar issue. callers sometimes go straight to voicemail, but also making calls could be 2 or 3 attempts before a successful connection. Currently set the phone to gsm/2g and the situation appears to have greatly improved

Thank you, at least I am not alone. Are you also using Oxygen ROM or a different one?
Which radio are you using?
sup guys
hope you can help me, ive got a serious problem with my desire. I've already flashed multiple roms, radios and RIL's. Atm im on 2.2 villain ginger with the newest radio and the right RIL for that radio download from the radio and RIL thread in this forum.
I get a Signal and internet, but as soon as i try using it by entering market or sending a sms or whatever, the signal breaks. First I lose internet and signal goes down to 1 or 2 points, then it cut offs entirely.
Sometimes I can use it 1 or 2 minutes, sometimes I can even send SMS, but in the end it will always break off and not come back until a reboot.

Have you tried it with the ril that comes with the rom. I believe the ril's are only for sense roms and not aosp.

I've flashed the same radio as the developer now, and made a fresh install.
I still got the same problem, but it disappears if I stick to 2g and deactivate HSDPA..
Anyone can help me?
I'm rooted using unrevoked and I'm currently running the ultimate Droid rom.
First question is I'm using a ntelos cdma desire and my radio signal sucks. Its usually one or two bars in my house, etc. Just wondering if I should flash a radio.
Secondly I can't send or receive picture messages. Its like when I get one it wont download and the ones I send get stuck and never really send.

If you need to flash the latest radio then flash it. About MMS, you could be missing some settings or it could be something else. If nothing improves then ring your carrier up. They will do some tests.
I just heard never to flash an ntelos radio or whatever. Do not know if this is true or not. Was wondering where do i get the radio zips at??
Hello,
I’m currently having major issues with the radio I flashed. I installed Virtuous Sense 2.0.0 with Unity V4 yesterday and flashed it with the recommended radio; 26.04.02.17.
It seemed to work fine, WiFi worked and I can send/receive texts and make calls.
However, today I noticed I was unable to surf the web on my mobile data plan. A reboot didn’t help either. I also noticed that the icon was showing 3g in an area which I know doesn’t have 3g. So I rebooted again and this time I could surf the web, but very very slowly. It took 5 minutes to open the maket.
Anyway, I flashed my old, original radio back (26.03.02.26) and the problem still remained.
As a last resort I flashed the newest radio (26.10.04.03) and the problems still remain.
I also tried reflashing the stock ROM, but that didn’t make a difference either, as well as the advanced kernel from virtuous.
I’m lost. Any help would be appreciated !
Thanks !
Sorry, but this is a prime example why flashing radios isn't needed unless you are having issues related to radio functionality.
Have you tried calling your service provider and ask them if they are having issues with data or provisioning?

I totally agree and I have learned from this. What's odd is that reflashing the original, working radio now doesn't seem to work anymore either.
I didn't call them, but a friend of mine who lives in my neighberhood who has the same service provider, doesn't have any issues.
Thanks

I would still call them and see if your device/sim is provisioned correctly.

I reflashed my old, original radio and this time I did not match RILs and all seems to be working as usual again.
Thanks for the input !
ok, I'm running quatro beta ICS (latest).
i havent had a massive crash or anything, it seems to have just started this fault, when trying to send SMS, make/receive call, or use the mobile network, the signal icon cycles through h/3g/g/e sometime a couple times, and it then might, might send the message, access the data network, etc...
things I have tried already are, reset APN settings, reflashed other ROMs, reflashed radio.
the fault appears in all the ROMs i have tried, and the fault is exactly the same after the radio flash.
Can anyone suggest something I might have missed? I thought maybe the bottom cover/antenna might be fudged?
cheers
