No signal, T-mobile, WCDMA

So i rooted my phone over a week ago, and tried out many different roms. Everything was going fine, until i noticed yesterday that i kept losing voice and data connection. I tried updating to the latest radio which was out today 5.09.00.20, but still have the issue.
The only workaround i've found so far is to set the network mode to GSM only. But obviously it's not very practical for a phone like the desire. When i have it on GSM/WCDMA Auto, it keeps voice and data on for about a minute, then i lose it. And when it's on, i still can't make any calls. But i can make and receive calls fine on GSM only.
Anybody have a clue what's going on here? I tried calling T-Mobile, but they were as useless as always. Apparently there was an issue on the 29th, which is now resolved, and they refreshed something on my profile. So i dunno if rooting/flashing my Desire has caused this or if it's some network outage.
I'm currently running the latest DeFrost rom. I've tried SenseFroyo (Opendesire), LeeDroid & i'm now running the official 2.2 sense rom.

I've also been having problems when connected via 3G for the past few days, but only when I'm at home (so I think it's a specific cell). The signal indicator shows a good signal but attempting to use the internet over 3G just times out, and my voice calls keep getting dropped.
Like you I can work around the problems by switching to GSM only.
I think it might not be a problem with my phone though, because I've tried putting my SIM card in my Nokia N95 and the internet doesn't work over 3G on that either (internet works using GSM on N95). I did manage to make a call on my N95 when my Desire was dropping both incoming and outgoing calls within seconds though.
Weird! I'm going to give it a few days and report it to T-Mobile if it's still happening.

It's fixed for me now. I guess it was a network outage

[Q] Network Connection Issues

I have a Desire, running with Cool's Images (Sensation v3...7, Cool3D AceS). Since some weeks the network connection through GSM and also 3G is very unreliable. Phone calls break up, the signal symbols shows a good signal but I can't make calls nor am I reachable, often enough the phone doesn't find any network, etc.. Sometimes it just works without any issue.
It all started when I was travelling to the US. But the issue remained when I was back in Germany. I even replaced the SIM card. Other phones with the same SIM card work without any problems. I tried Software Updates (see above). And I'm using the latest radio (32.56.00.32U 5.17.05.23).
Anybody out there with any idea? Thx a lot!!!

[Q] Data connection problems

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

[SOLVED] No reception, though HSDPA work..

Hey guys. Strange thing just happened to my Gnex overnight. I'm currently on a OTA JB Rom. Unlocked and rooted. Stock radio. In the morning I found my phone with 0 bars of GSM signal. Thought it might be my GiffGaff operator who was down just recently. But the situation didn't change during the day. My SIM works perfectly in other phones. Other SIMs I put seem to catch signal briefly (mere second) during OS boot and even get an SMS but then it goes down to hell. What's strange is that the HSDPA works!!! Even though the indicator show 0 bars pages do load and I can use mobile internet. But can't make calls and send texts.. The signal strength shows -109 dB, HSDPA. Seems legit. But damn, what's happening to It?
Currently doing a nandroid backup and will try to either revert to earlier JB or ICS backups or try to flash something for the sake of experiment.. BTW reflashing stock XXLF1 radio didn't change a thing..

Have you checked to make sure that the network settings or on auto, or tried changing the network gettings to GSM(2g) only? Worth a shot ^^

So yeah..Flashing MIUI (4.0.4) didn't help..flashing another (older) radio didn't help as well..I'm out of ideas here..

I've entered the *#*#4636#*#* menu and tried to switch WHSDPA-preferred to GSM only. It didn't actually work. Ech..Flashing back my backup (to make things worse MD sum mismatched and I've lost the most recent backup)

So...I managed to get signal with a roaming SIM card. Though I can't call or text anyway. Even though I have 2-3 bars. Dammit, what can it be?

2G(GSM) signal loss in rooted 4.0.4

Hi,
My signal reception is not always great. Sometimes i also have the issue of having no reception untill i unlock my screen, but thats not always the case, sometimes i have to reboot the phone to get my signal back but this not always work. The signal loss occurs even when i'm asleep and the phone is on my nightstand.(i've seen this in the battery history). Battery drainage is not greater when there's no signal. Also when i make calls i and sometimes the other person hear loud noises(peeping). Also my signal bar show full bars and when i try to make a call this doesn't work because when after a while trying to make the call, the bars drop to maybe 1 or even no bars.
The problem with high pitched noises while making calls i've had from the beginning, in GB. Losing signal reception i've had since i 've rooted ICS 4.0.3(one-click doomlord). under 4.0.3 i've flashed the .72 baseband but that didn't helped. Now recently i've did a factory reset + flashed a generic 4.0.4 and rooted it, because 4.0.4 isn't yet released in Belgium. under root I removed bloatware, but didn't remove critical apk's.
In the menu with available network providers my operator/provider has only 2G, i've choosen the automatic connection instead of manual, only in big cities 3G appears in the menu, dunno if this is relevant.
My Sim is maybe 3 years old.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I do recommend buying a very cheap signal booster.
It's like a bumper sticker and placed where the antenna.
The signal problems rarely belong to the cell, in most cases within a few base stations belonging to the company in relation to users.
I hope I have helped.
best regards
