missed calls & sms ... suddenly!!!

hi,
from time to time I experience the folowing:
Suddenly, soemone call me to other phone becuase he's trying to contact me. I see my artemis and it's OK, switched on and signal bars at 90%. I dont know why when someone try to call me appears like the phone is switched off.
I make a soft reset and strat to receive missed calls + sms's.
I have Vanilla 4.02 ROM and I use very often the wifi connection....
br.

im with you there, this is the reason why i went back to my aging nokia 6280. ive tried about 10 different roms and it would never pick up the signal unless rebooted. what happens with mine and a few of my friends was on london underground you would lose the signal obviously underground, when you came out the phone would pick up the signal but never recieve a call or sms. also the gprs wouldnt connect unless it was rebooted. ive had a few htcs in the past but because of this poor show i wont ever purchase another one.
my phone done this from day one of ownership, tmobile told me that firmware upgrades would fix this annoying problem, but it never did.

maybe you should try updating your radio ROMs
flashing different ROMs wont help

done half a dozen of them as well on my phone.

Even, I had the same problem, but since I moved to Radio version 3.21.XX, everything is just fine, no problems since then. Even 3.24.XX is out now, you should definitely give it a try. Hope it works for you!!
Cheers!

Same problem
Thanks for posting. I have the same problem with the same ROM. I'll change radio rom.

Radio Rom changed
Radio Rom changed 3.34.90 . No problems and good quality

BIG PROBLEMS, no 3G/4G mobile service since yesterday, tried EVERYTHING

Need some help here. I never usually need help, been modding everything possible on Android for years now. But can't figure this one out, getting worried.
Had my LTE Nexus since launch day. No issues like this before.
Been on all Team Kang AOKP toro ROM updates since release, always on the latest. Stock kernel. Was on build 20 since it came out.
Yesterday at work, had a few bugs from probably not data wiping from build 19, so I wiped it all and re-flashed 20 again. Restored Titanium and started re-setting things up, I believe these are the only things I did. I was at work where I would normally have minimal, but some, service.
Ever since around there, I have not once had a bit of 3G or 4G service. I have not seen the 3G logo for even an instant, only few, gray bars. Wifi works fine of course. It's possible I even lost service before wiping and re-flashing, but I can't recall or didn't notice.
I tried all the usual stuff, wiping everything again, re-flashed AOKP 20, re-flashed other/older ROMs, re-flashed latest radio, restored old Nandroid backups, pulled battery and sim card and put back/rebooted...NOTHING IS WORKING. Also, I have driven through several towns since yesterday so I know it's not a local outage. Also, other people with Verizon phones here have service fine.
I have basically torn the phone down software-wise and nothing has fixed the issue. I still have no service. Each time I re-flash a ROM, it always makes me go on Wifi when it wants me to sign into Google...it never picks up mobile service then or after.
The About>Status screen says:
Network: Verizon Wireless
Signal Strength: shows an actual number reading that changes
Service State: In Service
Roaming: Not roaming
Mobile network state: Disconnected
Please suggest things I can try, but I guaranteed I have already tried them. Can't understand or imagine what is causing this, because I did nothing different than I normally do.

Also, I posted this on Rootz as well, and many replies so far. Still no luck though.
If you have an idea I can try, maybe post there instead at this point for me?
Thanks guys in advance.

It seems a radio problem. Try to flash the stock ROM from Google.

Well I did go back to many random earlier, more stock custom ROMs in hopes of a fix, but nothing so far. I am currently back on the stock 4.0.2 ROM that is rooted and deodexed by Bigxie, but I guess I can go all the way back to stock 4.0.1 or 0.2. Will try now.

Went to Verizon and it looks like the sim card swap did it. The girl there was nice and did it without hesitation for me.
She showed me in her computer how under my family account, it wasn't even fully showing my device or something like that. Not sure if it wasn't there at all or if it just didn't show that I had a 4g phone activated on the account...but I'm sure it was related.
Sucks to have to get a swap and still don't know what caused it or if its related to flashing roms, but at least it works! No issues since...

It is possible, but unlikely and no reasonable explanation, that your sim somehow got affected doing all the flashing and stuff.

Problems with WIFI, GPS and radio after 2.17 update

A few problems with 2.17 / 4.0.4
After i installed the update 2.17 i notice that my wifi is even worse. I have i good connection with my Dynalink D635 router. So i don't think it is a hardware problem. But wifi works just sometimes. It was the same with 1.29, but al lot beter Now i loses his connection and than it come back, but mostly there is no data-stream at all.
Also the GPS is not working fine anymore. Lost connection a the time. It was working fine with 1.29 .....
The radio (connection with G/3G/H) is also worse. And sometimes he lose my sim-card and even goes into flight-mode??
HTC, i dont know what you are doing over there, but i have to say that this product is absolutly not what i suspected. I waited for the 2.17 to give the product a second chance, but it is even worse

Basic question. Still, have you backed up and tried Factory restore?

recently my phone doesn't read the SIM after a few hours of use. Says there's no SIM.

agree with the first comment. Can't confirm yet WIFI performance but GPS is now really bad. It was working great on 4.0.3 same as WiFi

I do not agree. I'm also using 2.17 and everything with GPS and wifi is OK.

Have you installed the correct bootfiles also the Kernel for this rom?

I used only files from the instalation guide. No other modifications

CUSTOM ROMMERS
Just ensure you have installed the rom correctly, aswell as flashing the right boot.img for 2.17.401.2, then although it seems like a pointless task, please do well to include the command 'fastboot erase cache' before AND after the flash of the boot.img, just to be sure we don't have any kernel bits left behind. You could also go the extra mile and clear the dalvik cache in your custom recovery...
STOCK ROMMERS
You should ensure that your update was successful (check this in settings > about > software information) If the software version is 2.17.XXX.X
Then the update was successful, just double check your radio/baseband is what its supposed to be which is 2.1204.135.20 (i think)

I have a good question: Did you drop the phone recently or otherwise do anything to push the phone case down? It sounds like you crushed all the antenna contacts or your case just isn't seated right.
SIM losing contact would suggest that the SIM pins aren't fitted snugly against the SIM. You can either put tape on the sim to get to to fit more snugly or send it in for warranty repair.

I did not drop the phone, or did something strange with it. The only thing i want from a device that costs € 500,00 is that everything is does work.

I've have experienced a drop in mobile network signal after the 2.17 update. Haven't tested GPS but WiFi seems alright. I have not dropped the phone nor done anything unusual to it, just updated. Before, I had 5 bars/full signal all the time, and when I checked battery stats the network signal indicator throughout the day was green. Now, after the update the indicator is yellow and I have around 1-3 bars if signal.
Also, I'm in Denmark so I got the 1.29.xxx.12 update which was supposed to optimize signal strength. So right now I hope they are working on a similar fix.

The Custom ROMMERS part worked for me.
I had the same Problem. Just checked after a half hour and it still works.
Just try this method

Dear all,
I was using the Lee-droid rom. I switched to insert coin rom 9.xx and even tried the android revolution rom. In both I had the same problem. Using wifi I have almost no data although the signal is strong. It just keeps trying to synchronize like for hours. But for some reason whatsapp conncection works and no problems there, but when it comes to loading the play store it takes ages (5 min. plus). I already searched the internet for solutions but haven't found one. When I use my providers internet, it also just keeps trying to synch (and for some reason never seems to complete??) internet is also really slow and it used to be faster on mobile as wel as wifi. Is anyone else experiencing this?
I am really desperate to get this working, I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Edit: Confirmed that wifi does drop out sometimes and cant seems to get a signal although im standing right next to the router. But when I have wifi, I have a great connection, but almost no data, only whatsapp seems to work.

I can also confirm taht after the 2.17xxx update wifi is droping a lot. Didn't had that problem on 1.29. Also there are other issues but it will probably be best if I open a new thread or someone else does that, just for the sake that htc will read it and make our phones better

To me, your issues sound like radio related issued, although I could be wrong. You both on custom roms? With custom recoveries? I suggest if 1.29 worked better signal wise that you flash that radio in your custom recovery. That might improve your signal. Its basically different for everyone which radios work the best so basically it's trial and error.
Lemme know how you get on :thumbup:

I'm not sure if it's the same problem but i've been having a strange issue for a while. I believe is started when I began using jellybean roms (Not 100% sure). My phone will work for a day or two with no issues and then I just suddenly lose my gsm/3g connection. Numerous restarts later and if still doesn't work. Can't use it as a phone at all. If I reflash or change the rom, my connection works again for a few days and then then same thing happens. I'm having to reinstall roms every few days to have a working phone. I did have the pogo battery cover on for most of that time. Last time it happened, I removed the cover and I suddenly had a connection. I've left it off since, hoping it was just that but sadly not. Happened again to me just now

Hi, have you flashed any different radios? What's your current software version and does your Wifi drop as well? Or is it just mobile data?

After the 2.17 OTA update, the signal is always medium...but now there r no call drops or loss in signal

sandipbarik said:
I got my 2.17 OTA update last night, immedietly after the update my wifi signal was dropping, which was pretty stable 3 bars before that.
Today morning im getting dropped gsm signal...sometimes its showing no signal...eve a manual signal search gets me no network, omly airplane mode on/off gets the signal back.
I m not unlocked and not rooted...just plain factory stock.
should i unlock it and flash the radio from the 1.29 rom ??

That's up to you, but many users have experienced that some radios work better for different people. 2.17 works ok for me, maybe you should try.

I think i have the same problem, when data On, GPS On he sometimes turn of after i turn in and when put the pin and he try to connect to the carrier turn of again. This only happens now when i flash faux kernel and before with alex-v kernel..

[Q] Broken Wifi - Hardware Fault? Help!

Hey there everyone, so since i flashed the CM10 nightly from the 24th, wifi has been nearly completely broken for me. You may have seen my posts where i described how my phone barely ever manages to load anything over wifi and when it does, it does so intermittently and at an extremely slow pace. This renders wifi pretty much useless on my phone. Mobile data IS working though.
Now, i first thought it might just be an issue with the nightly i was using, but this issue persisted on the nightlies from the 25th and 26th of this month (which i did full wipes between). So then, since i wanted to stay with Jelly Bean, i decided to try out Tgascoignes AOSP Jelly Bean (another full wipe here), but then this same issue was there as well. Then, i figured i'd try the first Jelly Bean CM10 nightly, since everything was working great on that one, but then this issue with wifi was still there.
So then i thought it must be an issue with Jelly Bean, so i went back to the most trustworthy and stable ROM i have used so far - One Maximus V2.1 with ICS. Then, this issue still persisted.
So, the tl;dr version of this is, wifi isn't working on any ROM for me and i can't seem to do anything to fix it and i really need some help with this. Do you guys think it might be a hardware issue? My router has been working perfectly for other wireless devices in my house. What plan of action would you recommend? Any help will be very very highly appreciated.
Also, the reason that i'm posting this as a new thread is because this isn't the same wifi antenna problem that has been documented a lot in the other thread. My wifi reception doesn't improve or vary depending on where i press on my phone and that's not the issue at all. If this post still doesn't deserve it's own thread then mods, please remove it and i will ask for help elsewhere.

The most complete restore would be to fastboot oem lock and.run the RUU for your device.
If that doesn't fix it, I don't know what will and neither will HTC I suspect, they'll likely replace the motherboard.

Well, i fully restored my phone back to stock and the issue is still persisting . Mobile data is also being really weird now even though i have set the correct APNs.
I also can't update my phone from the 1.29 firmware to the 2.17 base firmware because my carrier (Virgin) hasn't bothered to put any effort towards pushing out an update.
I think i will have to claim the warranty for my phone through Virgin and hope that they don't notice that it has been re-locked as other people have had such luck too.
Does anyone else have any other ideas about this?

I had a similar problem with my sensation after flashing some custom ( & official roms not meant for my region). Try WIFIX, somewhere in the forums. This could be a WiFi radio region code problem

just do it through virgin - in uk its the retailers responsibility to repair, replace or refund it if they can't prove that the fault was caused by you unlocking it etc.. (if before 6 months after purchase)

I don't know how this has happened now but I had a feeling that there was something wrong with the WiFi antenna of my phone, so I squeezed it really tight at the top left corner where the WiFi antenna is located (as seen in the WiFi faults thread) and now all of the issues mentioned above have been fixed . I have no idea if it was just pure luck and coincidence but now my phone is working normally again. If it wasn't a coincidence, then I really hope that this issue doesn't come up again.
I feel very lucky either way right now! No more need to worry about warranty issues and such . Thanks anyway to you guys for replying though, it's good that this forum chips in to help out those that are in need of help!

Dammit i have no idea what is wrong with my phone. Wifi and mobile data were working fine for a day and a half on the stock ROM, so then i decided to re-root and flash some custom ROMs again and this annoying wifi issue is back now :S. Why would this even happen? I am honestly at such a loss with this. Does anyone have any ideas about what's going on?

[Q] Wifi problems since JB Update

Hello xda,
Firstly I wanted to say thank you all for existing, Ive had much fun customising my HTC Desire and now my One X because of your articles. Even using google, all roads led to XDA.
Now to the problem...
Yesterday the official Jelly bean update for my One X, and since then Ive had a bunch of Wifi problems:
As soon as I connect to Wifi, I get about 10 seconds of internet, then nothing will connect until I turn Wifi off/on again, when this repeats, of course. This happens on both the 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks at my home.
If I use a network that have other users on it, it will disconnect for everyone.
The Wifi works on my phone properly when I change the router to 802.11b mode, but signal strength is poor.
I cleared the cache in recovery and when that didnt work I performed a factory rest, also didnt solve the problem.
I have read up about the problem and tried all solutions but I was thinking about going back to having my phone unlocked and rooted etc as this was what I had originally until I relocked it to get the official update (which has come back to bite me in the butt)
I guess this biggest question would be: Would getting a custom ROM fix this problem? Im asking this instead of going ahead with it like I normally do because I dont really want to make it worse if I can help it.
If anyone else knows enough about this problem, or the cause of it, that would be swell. Is it because of the fact that its been relocked/unrooted? Others who have stock standard phones have had the same problem but I want to be sure.
Some info:
HTC One X - unbranded CID HTC_023

Its probably not super brief, but I want to make sure I have everything you need.
Thanks!

This sounds like the problem that existed on early JB hboots prior to 1.36, if I recall. Don't know why you have the problem, it's very odd.

My advice : make a nandroid of the stock rom and flash a different rom ! The bootloader has already been unlocked so the state of warranty will not change if unlock it again. Worth the try ..... going back to the reseller is always an option after this !

I don't have this problem and i've updated to JB for some time now.I am not an expert on anything,but a friend of mine had similar problems with the wifi that you have,except that his wifi would randomly turn off and on from time to time in addition to your problems.After going to the HTC repair center they replaced his Wifi antena because it was faulty,and after that he didn't had any problems.The strangest thing is that he was using a custom rom(ARHD if i recall right) and HTC accepted to repair his phone,that simply amazed me because i tought that once you unlock your bootloader and install a custom rom,you're guarantee will be voided.Anyway,sorry for the long post and stories,but you can call or sent an email to HTC regarding this issue,you might have a faulty antena.

Yeah I thought it might be the faulty antennae halabaloo that people talked about for most One X phones, but the Wifi was fine before the JB update and I haven't dropped it around the same time (though almost threw it at the wall)

Also it looks like Ill have to wait a bit for a custom rom, as the stock kernal is the only one that plays nice with the new HBOOT. Touchscreen is not working in rom or recovery.
A bunch of other people with HTC_023 had this same problem.

I'm on _023 and Touch does not work with CWM (not really that big a deal), but works fine with the stock ROM. No issues with wifi, just an odd issue with the voice->text that seems to affect only my phone. Do yourself a favour and make a nandroid backup and store it on your computer so you don't have to poke around for one later.

I'm also on HTC__023 with JB update and have found since the update that it dosen't like 5ghz wifi yet 2.4ghz is fine

I am on the same ota and my wifi does not work at all. Hopefully HTC figures this out. This is my 2nd HOX the first one had the bad antenna.
don't let the cat lick the butter

Ok I think I fixed it, if youve got wifi problems on a 5ghz network, youll have to change the mode to 802.11a and channel to 36 on the router (at least, thats what I did) and it works again!

If I use a network that have other users on it, it will disconnect for everyone.

Isn't it an AP problem? With the new wireless module in JB the phone WiFi may talk a bit differently to the AP. I would suggest to check with different APs and to upgrade router/AP firmware.
