What radio version ya are using...? The latest one is 11.04.21_M.
However for Miui recommended Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2.
Most people don't have any issues using different RIL, if changing radio didn't help ya. Try to find the RIL matching your radio version too.

[Q] Desire HD (root) WiFI - Problem

Hi all,
I have been changing custom roms almost every time,AOSP,Sense and MIUI,kernels,radios.
The problem is my wifi range is not far. It always needs to be at least few feet from the router to get coverage.
Any suggestion?
I am currently running :
ROM : Hydrogen 2.2 FINAL
Kernel :Lordmod 8.7b CFS
Radio : 12.62.60.27U_26.13.04.19_M
Thank you.

Strange, if you tried different radios...
Mine is 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.15_M3, you might try to flash this one and see if it gets any better, if it doesn't, I suppose it's a hardware related problem (contact your reseller).

Thanks dude. Yeah, i have tried radios like !2.65, 12.62,12.54 etc.. coverage for phone is perfect,but for wifi it sucks a lot. Terrible i must say. Have to be real close to the router where else my Bold and Ipad can even go further.
I will give the radio you recommend a try. What i realized is that,whenever i put my palm to cover the battery cover,it seems that the wifi coverage dropping.
I know that,the antenna is at the battery slot,but that means it has to do with hardware,not kernel,radio of firmware.

CONFIRMED!! my DHD has a problem for its WIFI - Antenna.
Most radio n kernel tried. but none solved the problem.

[Q] COS-Bravo-ICS - problem reconnecting with 2G or 3G after Wifi connection

Hi,
I'm using the COS-Bravo - ICS [21-May-2012] on my phone. Since the first version I flashed I've been having the same problem, but as the ROM is under development, I thought the problem would get fixed in some update. It still hasn't so I'm reporting it.
When loosing a WIFI connection, the phone must switch to a 2G or 3G network. This doesn't happen. Mostly the WIFI icon disappears as it disconnects and the signalstatus doesn't change (no Edge, Gprs or Hdspa is added). When I go to Airplane mode and back or when I switch between 2G/3G, the connection is repaired and the data-connection works again.
I've also noticed this problem with other ICS roms (Sanvold and BCM)
Does anybody have a clue what this could be?

What radio version do you have?
Its recommended to have the latest radio.
You can find the latest radio here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687464

Of course the latest radio. ;-)

I have the same issue. When turning wifi off, my Desire doesn´t get a mobile connection though it´s showing, that i would be connected.
Switching to 3g and back doesn´t work for me.

Same problem here with Sandvolds ICS
I have this problem nearly 2 years now on every rom (stock eclair, froyo and cm7) and on every radio version, so I guess it is hardware depended.
Correct me if i am wrong.
What I do is switching to airplane mode and back, so i have to enter my PIN again.
Maybe there is a soltution, cause this is really drving me nuts
Thx

With the newest version (01-06-2012) the problem seems to be solved (for me). Perhaps you should give it a try.

I´ve been glad to hasty. It still does not work. Neither does it to switch between 2g and 3g. But the airplane-"hack" does work for me too.

I have same problem with COS ROM. Mobile internet connection after using telephone as wifi modem do'nt working successfully.... i need reboot phone, airplane mode not solving this problem..

Hi!
Same problem here (HTC Desire Bravo, GSM, Cos-Bravo 1st June, latest radio).
This "bug" is present in every ICS Rom and as well in some GB Roms I tried. So far, the RSK ROM Sense 3.5 with amaze cam doesn't have this issue.
I hope someone will get to it. I'm more than ready to donate if someone will be able to solve this out with next build.
Thanks.

To judge from my own experience - I'm still seeing this problem six months later - it has not been fixed yet. Or does it only affect a subset of Desires?
I'm experiencing it using a GB ROM - Mildwild 4.7, though it was there in 4.6 as well. I can only assume it is in the ROMs, as I get it on two different handsets, a PVT3 running radio-5.17.05.23 and a PVT1 rrunning radio-5.11.05.27.
cheers,

Remove the skipbrokendatacall entry in build.prop file. This will not completely resolve the problem but will make it very much manageable.

Check your APN Settings and try to set APN-Type to default only.

GPS frustration!

I know this is a much discussed topic here, and I just wondered if anyone’s managed to pinpoint exactly why the Desire HD often has problems with GPS?
My reason for asking is that I was doing a direct comparison between my wife’s HTC Desire (my old phone) and my Desire HD. The Desire seems to get a super quick fix even inside our house, while the Desire HD sitting right beside it can’t even see any satellites. What is confusing is that the gps.conf file on the Desire only lists North America NTP info, and we’re in the UK, and even so gets a super quick fix. I’ve tried all sorts of approaches to get a better fix on my Desire HD, including hardware and software, and it still falls way short of the original Desire.
I’m using GPS Test which is a great app. I generally find that if I clear AGPS and then download AGPS data, I get a fix soon after, but as I say, with the Desire this is unnecessary.
Does the AGPS data achieve an actual fix, or does it provide a virtual fix?
Do navigation apps call up AGPS data, or do they rely on a hardware only fix?
One idea I have is to use the fantastic app Tasker to reset and download AGPS data whenever a navigation app is opened. This would need a simple app which resets and downloads AGPS data with just one click. Is there one out there? I haven’t found one. If not, would this be a useful thing to suggest as a development?
My feeling is that it’s essentially a hardware issue, given the fact that the Desire gets such a great fix even with wayward gps.conf settings.
I’ve replaced my old GPS antenna which had worn contacts with another, and have used solder on the contacts to give a better contact. I’ve seen other mods where people have soldered a homemade wire antenna directly onto the mainboard contacts. Is that the best way to go? As I say, I’ve researched this on this forum, but haven’t found a definitive mod. Is there an accepted mod for this?
If the issue is with the chip on the mainboard, I suppose there’s not much which can be done. I suppose I’m just exploring all the options for improving the antenna and getting the best software setup.
Sorry about the rambling post, but I’ve tried to cover everything going round in my head! Any help would be really appreciated!

I know I'm replying to my own post, but I seem to have resolved my own frustration. After weeks of searching I found the perfect app. It's called AGPS Injector, and it allows you to call up AGPS info when you open an app. It enables the creation of home screen shortcuts for any app e.g. Google maps or Navigator, which then opens the app via AGPS Injector, and ensures a quick fix. It really works well, and is as simple as it could possibly be.
ALSO, I found that deleting the letters SUPL from the APN Type in the APN data settings results in a lightning quick fix, on a par with the HTC Desire as in my original post. I read on a post somewhere that the Google supl settings sometimes don't work as they should, and actually disrupt the fix. No idea why, but there you go. Worth a try if you're having GPS problems.
Hope that's of help!

my mtk 6577 phone do have the same problems! i thought this is only happens with mtk module.
The agps need to be download and a reset . And i can enjoy a day of fast gps position lock.
Is there any tasker script , can automatically download and reset the AGPS state ?

You can use GPS status, in tools you download agps.
AssistedGPS is only assistance to better locating. It locks to your network cell, which can give even 1km mistake.
Open your led cover and raise connectors up a bit. It should help.

Still problems here. it won't even see any satellites.
I tried raising the connectors a bit so they better touch the antenna. It made not difference. But I am sure this is a software issue anyway because it happened after I flashed a new radio.
Any suggestions? This is becoming frustrating.

The main problem is the contacts in the led light cover ( which houses the GPS antenna) are very poor. Clean contacts and maybe use a conductive paint if its worn off.
Second option is to solder/fix a length of wire ( I've heard iron best don't quote me) to the two contacts in the phone and this make a new antenna. Use Xda search to find link.

I opened the cover, and I tried to raise the contacts a bit. it didn't help.
this happened when I flashed the new radio on the 12th or 13th. it was working before that. now I tried a few radios but none have helped.

I'm using AOKP latest ROM no problems with GPS or anything else, stable and great battery life. I also had very good results with ARHD 7.3. Back-up your ROM and flash AOKP or ARHD 7.3 and see if GPS works if not download GPS status from Play Store and see what it sees. If you still have problems then wind a bit of wire about 10 cm long around the 2 terminals on the phone behind the LED light and see if this helps with signal.

so I remove the cover, wind a piece of wire around each connector, and see if I get signal (with cover removed)?
btw, I tried the official cyanogenmod 7.2 nightly. same problem.

Yes wind wire around connectors, this is what I have read somewhere on this forum search it. But first flash Android Revolution HD 7.3 ( Cyanogenmod) and check GPS status it might work as this is Android 2.3.5.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840040 says it overclocks the CPU. I don't want that.
anyway I am downloading it. 426MB so going to take a few hours.
I'll post results later today.
Edit: I downloaded it from work then installed it. same thing. it won't find any satellites.
I will try the wire thing later on today.
But I am really sure this is a radio thing as it worked till I flashed a new radio.

Did you flash the radio 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M that ARHD 7.3 recommends?

No, HTC doesen't make them anymore, but you can still find one on some websites, and also you could find one made by someone else than HTC and being compatible, try on amazon.com

I can't make interational payments to buy anything from amazon here but I will look in local stores for old/spare parts

After having some issues with GPS myself i went on fixxing it.
I tried a new radio and solder the antenna contacts at the same time but it worked.
So i dont know wich one was the actual solution.

[Q] problem with signal, it drops, please help !

Hello everyone, i recently bought an HTC One X S720e. I'm having problem with signal! in the places where signal should be at full bars, it appears only 2-3 bars, and in a places where i should have 2-3 bars, i dont have signal at all! 3G is not working... usually the icon that appears is "E" sometimes only "G" (without 3).
When the networks drop, the phone started to get very hot somewhere to the camera, and the battery drains quickly...!
I've tried to change baseband version, right now im using 5.1204.167.31 but problem is still the same!
I have Android 4.2.2, with 4.18.401.4 software with sense 5 stock rom rooted
If someone can help me with this problem, I would be very grateful.
thank you!
