Signal Lost

sup guys
hope you can help me, ive got a serious problem with my desire. I've already flashed multiple roms, radios and RIL's. Atm im on 2.2 villain ginger with the newest radio and the right RIL for that radio download from the radio and RIL thread in this forum.
I get a Signal and internet, but as soon as i try using it by entering market or sending a sms or whatever, the signal breaks. First I lose internet and signal goes down to 1 or 2 points, then it cut offs entirely.
Sometimes I can use it 1 or 2 minutes, sometimes I can even send SMS, but in the end it will always break off and not come back until a reboot.
Using o2 in germany

Have you tried it with the ril that comes with the rom. I believe the ril's are only for sense roms and not aosp.

I've flashed the same radio as the developer now, and made a fresh install.
I still got the same problem, but it disappears if I stick to 2g and deactivate HSDPA..
Anyone can help me?

Telus - Limited internet connection

Ok, I'm not sure what's going on or how to fix this. Yesterday, I couldn't connect to the market, it kept telling me it was a network error. I could still browse the internet no problem. Then I notice that Facebook wasn't updating, so it is a connection issue. It's weird that I could still browse the internet and Google+ would load my streams as well as upload photos that were taken. I decided to do a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik) and re-install Oxygen2.1.6.
The re-install went fine, but now I still cannot connect to the Market so my apps aren't re-installing. Any ideas what might fix this since a full wipe didn't help?
Nothing had changed between the connection working and it not working. The phone wasn't rebooted, nothing changed in my APN settings either. Connection bars are all green.
Everything works fine when I'm connected to wifi.
*Restoring a previous backup doesn't work either and whenever I try to re-flash 2.1.6 I get a bootloop. So confused.

Nobody knows?
Really don't want to flash the RUU and re-root/s-off again if I don't have to. Just seems weird to me that this was working one evening then suddenly not working the next day with no re-boot or anything different installed in between.

I'm not using a desire but rather a nexus s.. but I'm having the exact same issue. I've tried just about everything except unrooting to fix it.

I'm going to try flashing a different radio when I get home but I can't really see that fixing it as it's been working with no issues since I first rooted it a while back.

I tried several radios with no success. Its so strange. Gmail, xda, browser work.. but no market, Facebook, or twitter widget updates from launcher pro. I'm so confused.

Yea, all the same here. My YouTube app doesn't work either.

I've been experiencing the same problems. I've been researching and tinkering and I've found some interesting things out.
First off I am going to assume that you two are on the TELUS network, you never said but that is what I am on and I have heard no information about it occuring on other networks
I noticed it yesterday and initiated several re-flashes and radio updates, none of which helped. Today I went into TELUS and they told me that they have been having alot of people with the telus bravo encountering similar issues. So instead of frowning and walking out I decided to ask if I could speak to the technician.
According to him the issue is not a connection to the network, rather that either the phones radio or the network is dropping the connection partway through data transfer. Therefore you can get through the connection, DNS and handshake processes, but it will fail during the transfer of data, but at no specified time. So I could use Grasscities Tapatalk app because it was just transferring text and other light data, but downloading large amounts of data winds up failing, which is why you can’t get market to work. TELUS does not know if the issue is only affecting desires (looks like it’s wider than just that) or if it is happening on any other network. They are in the information gathering phase and still waiting on a reply from HTC’s technical team to see if it is a problem affecting the radios.
I’ve spent most of the last 48 hours trying to solve this problem with no luck. TELUS has assigned me top level case advisement so I will update this thread as I know more about the problem. In the meantime, and I know how much it sucks, you will have to stick with wifi (as will I T_T)

Yeah, I'm on Telus. That would explain why a friend with a Nexus S on Rogers had no problems at all. I sure hope Telus figures this out soon. For now, I'm subscribing to this thread and hoping you hear something back. I'll update if I notice my data connection has returned to normal. Thanks for the info!

Also on Telus. Thanks so much for the update. I was thinking it was something on their part and have been meaning to call them but I'm at work. Just kinda assumed it wasn't their fault since some data did work, but it's good to have an answer.
Now I just need to figure out why my phone keeps bootlooping on a fresh 2.1.6 Oxygen install.

No problem guys, I know how frazzled you feel; I’ve been the exact same way for the last 48 hours.
Though I must say I am surprised that the forums are not all aflutter with discussion about this. The way the technician at TELUS was talking it sounded like they were getting a lot of calls about this. But dear freaking god I hope they get this solved soon… and if not then they had better let me out of my contract.

glad to hear it's not just me.. this has been happening since I went and saw U2 at the Rogers Centre in Toronto Monday night.. Every time I tried to upload pics I was taking at the concert it would just pause on the upload, or fail out completely.. my signal was dropping to nothing there as well.. I thought, being at the "Rogers" centre, that perhaps they'd set up a Telus signal blocking station
But then the problems have continued through to today. Some stuff kinda works.. I can get FB and Twitter updates from my Colorize Widgets, but can't actually use the FB app. twitter.com works, but facebook.com doesn't. google works sometimes.. but most pages time out in the manner mentioned above.
Quite annoying.

That's weird. This has been happening since yesterday for me, but last night it had no problems Instant Uploading pictures to Google+.

Some functionality has returned for me. Market still won't load.. but Facebook half-loads and the twitter widget in launcherpro is loading again. They must be working on it. I hope they fix it all soon.

Still all down on my end. Hope it gets resolved by tomorrow.

Major radio issues; Cannot or can hardly connect to non-Wifi internet anymore

Hello,
I’m currently having major issues with the radio I flashed. I installed Virtuous Sense 2.0.0 with Unity V4 yesterday and flashed it with the recommended radio; 26.04.02.17.
It seemed to work fine, WiFi worked and I can send/receive texts and make calls.
However, today I noticed I was unable to surf the web on my mobile data plan. A reboot didn’t help either. I also noticed that the icon was showing 3g in an area which I know doesn’t have 3g. So I rebooted again and this time I could surf the web, but very very slowly. It took 5 minutes to open the maket.
Anyway, I flashed my old, original radio back (26.03.02.26) and the problem still remained.
As a last resort I flashed the newest radio (26.10.04.03) and the problems still remain.
I also tried reflashing the stock ROM, but that didn’t make a difference either, as well as the advanced kernel from virtuous.
I’m lost. Any help would be appreciated !
Thanks !

Sorry, but this is a prime example why flashing radios isn't needed unless you are having issues related to radio functionality.
Have you tried calling your service provider and ask them if they are having issues with data or provisioning?

I totally agree and I have learned from this. What's odd is that reflashing the original, working radio now doesn't seem to work anymore either.
I didn't call them, but a friend of mine who lives in my neighberhood who has the same service provider, doesn't have any issues.
Thanks

I would still call them and see if your device/sim is provisioned correctly.

I reflashed my old, original radio and this time I did not match RILs and all seems to be working as usual again.
Thanks for the input !

[Q] 3uk service status?

Hi folks, just wondering if anyone is experiencing signal difficulty today? thought it was my phone(which it still might be!!) but tried 3 different roms, 3 different radio, 3 different kernels, and i can get a wifi connection, i get a network connectiob briefly every now and then, and the signal bars turn green, but i cant make calls or send texts?

I'm on 3 UK and its all perfect

hmm, ok, thanks elliotg. maybe it is my phone then!

just out of interest, could you possibly post the contents of your apn file/s for me, as i have been using dGB rom, which doesnt include any apns, and that is where the problem first arose. i did find some listed online, but if you have a working one there, if youd be willing to let me know so i can check mine and change if neccasary?

Just an update to my last post, I am still getting signal occasionally but it does seem to be dropping off a lot. Also yes I'd be happy to share my apns if you could tell me how haha
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium

ok, can we first clear up, are you having probs or not? your first answer was everything is perfect, then your 2nd says your having problems? haha. and the apn is in settings-wireless and networks - mobile networks - access point names. if you have anything in there, could you possibly write down only the items that have a value. if some say "not set" dont worry about typing them out. thanks in advance

ok, so, my current situation is this. im on redux 2.31.08.lite radio 5.17.05.08 and kernel 2.6.35.13-stable (base kernel that comes with rom). i updated the kernel to thalamas mod8 (latest) which made no difference to my signal problems, but did after about 30 minutes give me wifi error, couldnt even turn wifi on. so went back to the base kernel and wifi is working fine. i can get a connection when calling probably once every 30 attempts? it just shows the calling screen, then ends call and cuts off. if i turn airplane mode on, then back off, i have to wait about 30 seconds to get a signal again, pr even have to manually search, which can take ages, or not work at all. (error while searching). in my head, i think the radio isnt working (which sounds obvious lol) but ive tried 4 different radios and all have the same problems?
im struggling now, is it the phone, or is it 3Uk?
any help will be massively greatfully recieved

[Q] Limited Signal Issue

I've had this problem for a week now; at first I thought the phone had been blacklisted but this is not the case. I've reset, rebooted, changed sims, put the sim in another phone, cleared the phone, flashed new roms, unflashed, even unrooted the phone.
I've stripped the phone down and there doesnt seem to be any visible damage to the antenna. As said before, I have put another networks SIM in the phone and still have the Limited Signal problem.
Stumped.

I think its a hardware problem, roms dont cause that problems and you say you have Wipe the phone, I also have a very bad problem with my wildfire, the WiFi has a very bad reception, but for me is just annoying, you can try Updating the Radio, 3.35.20.10 is the last ...http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Wildfire:_Support_Downloads...
Flash it in the recovery, but you should have 25% of battery or more

Try turning off 3G , i ve had problems like you and once i ve turned it off signal is full all the time .

Hi,
None off the above suggestions have worked. The odd thing is, the provider name is still picked up and shown on the display, it seems to receive that much, but apart from that I still have the no signal problem. Any more ideas?

Ladies and Gentlefolk, I really need help on this, kinda surprised (and nearly crying into my cup 'o tea here) that I've had no recent response to this thread? I thought this was the forum of the all knowing, all seeing!

Have you tried network booster from the market? I seriously dont know how it works but maybe that can solve you problem. I think it is a hardware fault. Sometimes hardware can be at fault even without visible damage.
I never had this problem and dont have much experience/knowledge so cant help much.

It seems you've tried everything software wise, unrooting the phone with an ruu would definitely fix any software problems.
Edit: are you sure that flashing the radio even worked? Check the baseband version before and after flashing.
Sounds like a dodgy antenna to me.

Signal
Thanks for the replies;
I had to reflash the radio with a different version the other day as I'm now using JM's Nexus Rom and my GPS wasn't working. That still didn't solve it.
Although it is still no good as a phone I still enjoy tinkering with it and flashing new roms to it.
I was reading another thread regarding manual network scanning issues and it recommended replacing the libhtc_ril.so file. Now I know that this won't solve my issue, but does anybody have a better understanding of this .so file, or any other .so files that may cause the signal problem? The deeper depths that is coding is beyond me.
And if it is a hardware problem, where exactly is the antenna? I cannot find any schematics for the Wildfire on the web. If anybody has a copy of this, or a link to it, that'd be great.

Hardware issue or coverage issue, roms don't have any associations with coverage things!!

Now bare with me, i'm very very new with rooting and custom roms.
I don't know if this gets wiped when you wipe your phone.
I hade the exact same problems so i went to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Dialer and wiped the date, after that i had to enter my SIM-pin code and the problems was solved!
