[Q] No Signal?? Defy not having good reception????? - Defy General

really dont know how to name the title...
Im from india, I went to a remote place this weekend... i am currently using vodafone, but since that place has no vodafone network, i booked a new Airtel sim, but i couldn't get any signal, i got a signal once or twice for a few seconds only.. then i tried a Reliance sim, same problem... Then i tried these two sims on other phones (two Nokias and one micromax phone), and they have very good reception... what seems to be the problem here?? Is the defy not good at getting reception? or is there some software problem? a baseband problem??
When i went back to my city, my vodafone works perfectly again...

are you on some custom ROM or the stock ROM itself..??if u r still using the stock ROM, i dont see any reason why you should face any such issue...if on a custom ROM, change your location to india using Defy Baseband Switcher...

have you tried baaeband switcher?

hi! you can use this baseband switcher which is latest and states which baseband to use for india.

thanks for all your replies, im using CM7.1, i didnt try switching the baseband because i bought it in india and my Vodafone sim was working fine on it.. will give it a try then...

HTC UNI PROBLEMS WITH RECEPTION IN INDIA

hi all,
i've had the uni for a couple of months now & i use Hutch service..
i've had quite a few complaints from people who call me that the voice breas up when i talk to them..
the signal shows full reception as i mostly use my phone in office...
i used to use the mini at the same place & never had a problem with reception...
i'm using the latest o2 rom on the exec...
i have been told that quite a few uni users in india have the same problem..
a frien is using the i-mate rom & he too has the same problem....
any help??
Regards,
frz
anybody???
I'm in thane.... using Airtel. Have had no issues with network reception with the Uni. Have u accidently set the phone band to PCS 1900?
If one switches to PCS 1900 then the handset will never search for Netwrok.There could b issue with the internal antenna.Search the forum, how to fix the antena for better reception or go to the nearest service center to fix the issue.
Me too, using JASJAR on Airtel more than a year...no such serious issues
I am also using Universal on Airtel Network without anyproblems.
Hi, check out my experience, I think you are suffering the same thing I did:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=34920&highlight=faulty
The best way is to get a complete GSM antenna like I did.
Best regards!

3g and baseband in Argentina

Hello everybody. This is my first post and my first aproach into the Android world. I just got 1 day ago my Dinc2 from USA.
I'm from Argentina and I unlocked the phone with a code. I had no problem using the phone for sms and voice calls but when it comes to data connection I can't use it on 3g mode.
I believe that the Verizon ROM has not possibilities to connect to a 3g network in Argentina, so I would like to try another ROM. The problem is that I have to root the phone but I don't know how to deal with the baseband. To be honest I don't completely understand what the baseband is and why do I need to have a special baseband for Argentina, I still must do some research. But I'm very afraid of not being capable of using my 3g data connection EVER. That would make the phone almost useless.... quite sad.
I'd really appreciate if any of you could give me some advice about it.
Thanks a lot.

Network signal issue

Hi all
I have an issue with the Desire. Thing is that I got no network signal. I have been wondering for long time if the IMEI was blacklisted, but I found out that the IMEI is ok, no barred at all. And yesterday, messing a bit with the phone radios etc... I managed to get signal! But It was while i was using my spanish sim (VODAFONE carrier). When I inserted my UK sim car (woth 02) I couldn't manage to make it work.
I am a bit noob about that radio thing and ril... but when i use those RIL with the G, my phone is like it got signal but cannot connect to the provider... (emergency calls only...) and when i use the others is like i cannot get any signal at all...
I also tried to clean inside the phone... not sure if is a hardware or a software problem...
any ideas?
thanks!!!

Sounds like a carrier issue nothing to do with the phone .
did you check the frequencies your carrier is using ?

how can i check it?
Now, I can say that with my Spanish SIM the network is more or less "stable", no luck at all with the UK one...
Edit: Very weird... yes Spanish SIM card is working but when the phone is in standby I actually cannot recieve any call...
any other sugestions?

Not sure if you actually followed the previous poster's suggestion in the end (i.e. Googled it).
Quick google search on my end found O2 uses 900MHz, 1800MHz, and 2100MHz
Vodafone España uses 900MHz and 2100MHz, not sure if 1800MHz also.
Also not sure what you mean that you can't receive calls when its in stanby. Does this mean if the phone is active, you can receive calls?
If you have rooted the phone at all, revert it to stock and see if that helps.
Otherwise it may be that your phone doesn't have the 1800MHz band compatability (maybe due to where you bought it from etc).
I would go back to your carriers for help.

I actually did not understand your question... Of course I use google... all time. I have done everything i have read. But some times people just discovered something or maybe they know something i don´t know.
Anyway, won't bother you anymore.
The reply wasn't aimed at criticising /chastising you.
I posted over 12 hours after your last post so I didn't know if you had already googled the bands in the end, in which case posting the bands again would just be repeating information you knew already.

I really appreciate your help! Sorry. This problem is annoying me a lot...
Where did you buy your HTC Desire? I think different regions have different versions of the desire.
If it helps, I had reception problems with my sim in Nepal when my WiFi was on. But I have used my Desire in Singapore, Australia with no problems.

Uk... is european. Should work perfectly with any network in europe. I pretty think is some kind of problem... maybe the motherboard... so maybe is another useless desire...

Was the phone brand new or used?
have tried using SIM from different operator, if you are on 3G try selecting 2G only.
if everything with software fails then it is hardware
may be signal pins are not making proper contacts
