3G Drops on Skyraider? - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

I've been running skyraider for a while now and I notice that my phone often goes to 2G and won't switch back unless I reboot. Am I the only one? What should I do?

no such problem with skyraider here, maybe you can try the new radio.

I'm on Inc2 HD for now. I don't really want to update the radio.

I've had that once since I started using this Rom. Was shortly after I first installed it. I went in and out of airplane mode and it cleared it right up. Haven't had it again since

Good signal but Phone reception terrible on my end

So a day or two ago people started complaining that they can't hear anything I'm saying. They say when they talk its perfectly normal but as soon as they stop are hearing white noise that continues when I talk too. They seem to hear me fine on speaker mode though. I've changed back from the hybrid Alltel prl to the *22899 update, changed roms and disabled set CPU since i thought it may be due to my screen off profile. Still not working.
Current setup
Skyradier Vanilla 3.0 RC3
2.07 radio
.17 leaked kernel
Kinda at a loss, I've change everything I could think including doing a wipe and trying miui Rom to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

No problem. The only issues I hear people running with the radio is the 2.15.00.09.01 and thats only areas were there isnt many towers. The radio tries searching for a signal alot and it runs the battery down. Now 2.15.00.07.28 is the official radio that came out for froyo so no issues. Anyway I run the .09.01 for a couple days and Im really enjoying the snappyness out. 3G is stronger now for me.

Wifi Permanently borken?

I was on BCnice20's GingerBread rom beta2 and i flashed the bcblend cfs stable kernel(sbc for bc) found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876590 on top of it to fix the wifi issue but only caused more problems. wifi will not stay connected for more than 7 seconds without disconnecting then re-connecting. so i got tired of it and wiped everything and went to fresh's new ROM. problem is, wifi is still acting the same. its a constant loop of connecting and disconnecting. any thoughts?
I not sure what it is it might be the kernel try switching kernels or something like a stock kernel and did you wipe everything like twice see if that helps

[Q] Only Getting 1g service with CyanogenMod

I just flashed Cyanogen RC2 and I am not able to get 3g. Where the 3g should be there is only a "1x". The data works but is incredibly slow, I asked a friend and he said that I might need to flash the new radio. Anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks a bunch
What is your current radio?? When you flashed CM it comes with current one..

is there any risk involved in this? eg. can they tell I'm rooted/running a custom rom? sorry I'm kind of a noob when it comes to this stuff.
Also when I go to wireless settings there is no option for mobile data

Well don't mention it to them make sure you have a rom that has the option to update your prl, and profile. Because they'll want you to do it. Fare warning, they'll want you to update the firmware. I just went with it, but it didn't go through. It said "there is no system update". So it all worked out.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
This has been happening to me, too. I tried different radios, prl, etc.. with no changes. I even went back to a rooted 3.26 rom and let the phone update the firmware and everything it wanted to with no change in signal. The Sprint tech said everything looked fine on his end after having me update profile, prl, check for software and firmware upgrades. I can't remember what he called it but basically he reactivated my phone as a last step.
CM and mobile signal widget show 1x and when I go to ##debug# (on sense) and check EVDO engineering every field shows <failed>
When I get time I am going to go to Best Buy and hope their insurance works well.
That's weird because when I go to another rom like fresh my 3g works fine its just on cyanogen that my phone has this hiccup

5 vibration diagnostic code

So lately I've been getting the 5 vibration code and I've been searching around here and on other forums and no one seems to know what causes it. Has anyone else that's been experiencing this noticed that it seems to go away after a battery pull and then letting the phone cool down? I'm rooted with unrevoked running cm7 rc2 with Chad's newest kernel right now and tried running cm7 with the included kernel and experienced the same issue.
My main concern is whether to ruu and whether thats going to fix it or if it's simply a hardware issue
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
I have it too. Can you boot your phone up like normal after a little while? Everyone else on this forum who gets this can't do jack with their phone. I can boot up fine afterwards, it's just extremely annoying.
It's a code for some kind of hardware failure and they all had to get a new phone. I've been told a RUU may fix everything, but that's a semi-long process for someone as ADD as me to go through. You could try it though. And if you do, shoot me a PM with the results.
Yeah that's exactly what mine does, It'll boot right away and I usually only run into the issue when I'm playing a game for more than five minutes or using my phone in a warm environment. It seems to hit 100° F and then stops itself from overheating.
I was really hoping to not have to Ruu, because its such a process and I don't want to lose the gingerbread keyboard. Maybe someone else will chime in with another idea.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
So far you and I are the only 2 I know about in the internet who can still boot up like normal afterwards.
I wiped dalvik last night and I haven't had the issue today, you might give that a try. It can't hurt.
-CM7 ADR6300
Ill try that today. I initially thought it was the battery overheating but it did it with the stock 1300 and its doing it with the evo battery I'm using now. Ill finish setting up adb and try the ruu next week when I get time.

This just in, rebooted while playing star wars podracing on n64oid.
I think it is a heat issue, cuz my phone is always pretty warm when it happens.

I've read about this in a lot of forums lately. But it seems like it only comes up with cm7. You guys sure its not rom related?

Also, today I've noticed my haptic feedback has been... varied in vibration intensity.

Well I broke down tried the RUU and that went through fine but I cant seem to replicate the error with stock. I tried gaming for about 20 minutes and it didnt do it yet, normally it does it after like 5
Good to know.
Have you gone back to CM7 and seen if it helps out there?
-CM7 ADR6300
No I havent tried rerooting yet and reinstalling cm7 It keeps doing it only now it gets stuck in a boot loop instead of doing the five vibration thing then it boot loops about 3-5 times till it cools itself down then restarts normally like nothing ever happened
I already talked to verizon and the new ones in the mail so theres really no sense messing with it anymore now i just need to decide if i want to root the next phone or not
That's what's happening to mine now, too... I also couldn't root it? Unrevoked kept failing. Oh well. I'm selling it and migrating to a Thunderbolt.

What version of ClockWorkMod are you running? I read some problems with flashing CM7 caused by CWM 3.0.0.8 that was fixed by going to 3.0.0.7

Yeah, you've got that right !!!!
When it happened to me I couldn't do a damn thing except get into clockwork Mod, which didn't help because I couldn't access the sdcard. I called up verizon and got a new one. For the two of you that actually have a working phone after this is your phone S-ON or S-OFF?

100F is nothing for these processors. Think about it, your body is 98F and a processor is meant to handle a lot more heat than your body. I know the TI OMAP in the original droid had a failure point of 220F.

Nope, not rom related since it happened to me when I was using Incredibly Re-Engineered v2.3 and flashing a custom kernel when it happened.
Mine remained rooted ans s-off throughout the issue.
I unrooted and applied s-on and reverted to the November RUU and it fixed everything.
Rerooted and reapplied s-off a few hours ago and flashed Virtuous. No more CM7 for me. That's when I started having issues.
Mine does the same thing. Vibrates once, turns off, vibrates 5 times and the LED blinks green. I think mine is related to an overheating issue. Mine reboots almost always when im plugged into the car charger, talking on the phone over bluetooth on my way to work. About a 35-45 minute commute. Even when plugged in at home, and while messing with the settings as well. The only thing that is almost always the same is the screen brightness. Thats when it gets super warm and then turns off. I'll try it out with the screen brightness settings to lower then usual. But when I let it cool off, like I do in the car in front of the A/C vent for about 30 seconds,, with the battery out of the device, it comes right back on no problems.
Mine was rooted and s off. I believe I installed cm7 using clockwork 3.0.0.7 then upgraded to 8 and still had the issue. I know 100°f is nothing for a processor but it seemed to have issues as soon as it got around 110 then if you let it sit it works again so that's what led me to thinking it was a heat issue even though it doesn't make much sense

GPS not locking until reboot - post custom rom

So I recently installed Calkulin's custom rom v2.9.2 and now my GPS doesn't lock unless I reboot the phone.
Any fix for this? thanks.
Try GPS status app

Only thing that works is a reboot which is a hassle everytime i need a GPS lock.
anyone else w/ any suggestions? I'd hate to go back to stock ROM.
Doesn't the GPS continue to work for a few days, before requiring a reboot?
Thats the case with my phone, try different versions of the rooted rom, or radios.

THanks. upon reading a bit of that thread, I found out that through using "GPS Status" I can refresh the "A-GPS" which I didn't know previously.
This seems to work so far.
I'm running the same rom and have no problems with any of my radios, I did also install the EL29 modem when I installed the rom. You may need to try different modems, they work differently on different phones even though you're running the same roms. Also, don't forget to update profile in /settings/about phone/updates

I was originally on EL29 Stock so I'm assuming when I flashed Calks 2.9.2 the modem's the same.
Is there a link where all the modem's can be found? and can I flash any modem?
Caulkin has a list on the same thread as the rom

Flashed the FB21 Modem and this one looks like a winner!
I'm getting instant GPS locks w/o resetting, rebooting, opening an app etc etc.
On top of that, my 3G/4G speeds have increased!
WOW! I've never loved a phone before but I'm starting to have strong feelings for this one.
Cool, maybe I'll try that one too. Don't forget to update your profile

I tried the fc05 got 13 then 4G started to sleep in the middle of things. The trick is to find "the one" that's stable and everything works. I'm gonna try the others and see how they work. But I know that this one works for my phone.

Update if anyone's interested: FB21 modem w/ EL29 Kernel was good but still had GPS locking issues. I was getting roughly 85% locks (which isn't bad since I test often). FAST download speeds though.
So this got me thinking: When my phone was stock, GPS worked brilliantly. It wasn't until I installed a custom rom that it started to have problems. The difference was the kernel and modems.
So now I flashed back to EK02 modem and kernel (still running Calks 2.9.2) and my GPS has been locking 100% of the time. PLUS my phone is silky smoooooth!
Crossing my fingers that this will last....
