Hello all! Just installed the stable CM Rom on my htc desire. Everything is fine, except, at first boot, i get signal on 3g once (only once) then it goes to 'emergency calls only' and i get no internet, or 3g, or HSDPA. I have tried changing radio's hboot's s-off..etc. You name it, good chance i have tried it. I have tried *#*#4636#*#* and i can select different bands, for about 2 mins? then it comes up with an error saying unsuccessful. Sometimes if i force gsm /2g mode i can get phone signal, and Edge network only. Its painfully slow and..well for a $600 thats pretty bad lol.
Can someome please advise on how to fix this error? Even after 2 mins my sim will not register on any network, unless of course i use 2g networks only. And that is even flaky.
I have no idea how to fix this.
Please help
edit: It appears occasionaly it will pick up signal for a few seconds, then it drops back to the "x" on the signal bar. No service / emergency calls only..etc. Tried the battery method, cleaned the sim, blew any dust out..etc. Tried several different roms.
Even tried installing the stock telstra next g australia RUU.. it installs, gets to the loading screen that says "next g network" and just sits there. Thats the only rom besides miui that freezes on boot. The rest work.
I have tried moving the phone to different locations, indoor out door..occasionaly i get "E" or "edge" and i see a "3g" but as soon as i see the 3g, it crashes again, and no signal.
What radio are you running?

Hi all,
I got my Desire from the British carrier "Three" last April when it came out. It was stocked with Android 2.1 but the phone was unbranded and not locked so making life much easier.
I rooted the phone weeks later and flashed a number of various roms and radios (usually newest ones recommended by rom developers) and just played around with them. No problems ever occured and everything went smooth.
However a while ago (about 4 weeks I would say) strange thing happened: when the carrier 3 does not gave 3G coverage it usually switches to other network's 2G roaming service. It is also possible to switch to 2G permanently by forcing it via phone settings. It stopped working in Central London for me while still worked elsewhere (very strange) so I had to rely only on 3G service. I thought it was a network issue at first but now I'm not sure.
Later (or at least so I noticed) the connectivity started fooling around: even when standstill (i.e. NOT in a train, bus etc.) and staying at home the network connectivity just disappears all of a sudden. Sometimes it comes back by itself and sometimes I just do it manually via netowking settings. This is much more common when on the move (i.e. on the train etc. even though it never used to happen before). Moreover, sometimes while manually searching for network it says "your sim would not allow to connect to this network" even though I try to connect to the correct one. Instead I switch "WCDMA only" and "WCDMA/GSM auto" options and connection comes back by itself. Then it disappears again after a while. Even more strangely, connection does not disappear if I am talking on the phone with someone but in other situations (such as browsing internet) it just disappears and I see no bars in network reception indicator and cannot connect to internet or make phone calls.
I know 3 has a reputation (deserved or not) of having "bad" network but I don't think this has anything to do with that. My Desire used to work fine before and never had such problems (except in specific spots which have bad coverage). Moreover, I have another old phone and it works fine without any problems with networking while the Desire messes around. I am sure it has either to do with firmware or, worse, hardware.
I have tried a number of roms, radios and settings and it's the same thing all over.
If nothing works is there a way I can still bring it to warranty service after flashing "unrooted" stock rom if there is one available? I'm so frustrated because I have no idea why this is happening.
Its because three have switched off 2g roaming I have the same problem. Search Google

Hi,
I have some data connection problems since the first day i bought my DHD.
The phone reception signal bar are always changing even when i am not moving at all.
It can generally move from H to 3G a few times, then go to E and then G, in a few seconds.
it always moves, my internet connection is very slow.
It's as if the radio was always trying to renegociate the method of communication (GPRS, 3G, etc) with the operator's antenna
When i am in a phone call, i got disconnected sometimes or the sound stop during a few seconds (the time the radio switch from 3G/H to E/G i guess)
When i disable WCDMA from the settings i get a quite stable sound during my phones calls (maybe because the phone no more tries to negociate). But for Internet... it's just slow.
I tried a few ROMs, and their respectives radio rom (the one with the IRL branded in the ROM) i sometimes thought it was better but always it's still too unuseable.
I tried my SIM card in an iphone 3GS and i am usually in Edge (sometimes 3G) but when its 3G i can surf quickly during hours (if i don't move). This is not the case with the DHD.
btw i am on the french carrier SFR
If any of u had any clues i would really appreciate your help.
Thanks you
what rom are you using and what radio and ril................... now what radio are you on now
OP already stated he tried numerous ROMS and their cooresponding radios. Sounds like the signal is that degraded that any radio/ril combination will not help.
Thanks for your replies.
As said i tried many ones with their respective recommanded radio.
I am actually trying Radio_12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M with Android Revolution HD 4G_6.1.1 with no sense script.
Are there tests i could do to identify if its a hardware problem (like standing in front of an antenna and running some special tool maybe)
Btw, i also tried :
-RCMix3D_Runny_v1.3 but does work with internet pass through (wich is really important since i can't use internet from my phone carrier...)
-niarkMIUI-3.9.1
-LeeDrOiD_HD_V4.0.0-SE-3.0-BETA with Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2
-cm_ace_full-203 with my stock radio ROM
-virtuous_unity-v2.37.0 with i don't remember wich one...
P.S : i would be Glad to test any ROM / Radio combinaison you would suggest me.
Thanks by advance for your attention
if you tried all those roms and diffident radios seems like its more like a hardware or provider issue does it happen off different towers or maybe you can go to one of the stores and try the phone at the store with yours at the same time?
Thank for the advice indeed i need to try this.
Do you know what i need to revert back for the tech not to tell the waranty is over since i have flashed my phone ?
Does i need to reflash the recovery etc? is there some tutorial in this subject because if i go to the store with my custom rom i guess i won't get too much help :/
Don't even take out your phone, your going to say your just looking, don't show anyone your phone, they won't even know what to look for, just test your phone to the one at the store, make sure apn's match. But if you return your phone you'll need to ruu back to stock. You can search easy s-on

What happens if you manually select 3G only, or 2G only from the settings menu? Does it just lose signal, or stays strong?
Hi
If i select 3G only
I first get no reception (as if when switching from 2G to 3G the radio had to restart)
Then the 3G signal appear strong, decrease slowly in less than 30 seconds, and after all, it seems quite stable.
The bandwidth is good i am downloading fastly
(i am commenting in real time)
Still no deconnection.
I will try it during the whole day and tell how it is behaving.
umm during a few seconds, there were no indicator (no 3G or H), just 3 bars.
It then restarted in H with 1 bar (i am not moving at all)
What will happen if i have no 3G in my area ? I won't be able to receve a phone call ?
Thanks

If you force it to 3G only, and you move out of 3G area, then you should either get a no signal indicator, or if you have roaming enabled, you would get the roaming indicator. I'm curious now because as you said you aren't moving, and it's still changing. That shouldn't happen. Hmmm
Firstly, I'm using this phone with different sim card.
My problem is, when I got low signal (i.e 2 of 4) I can not use my Internet connection properly. It is not slow. When I try to enter a website, it is not loaded for a while, after a while it loads a bit. Wait and go. Wait and go. It is so boring.
I try to understand what the problem is and found out when I got low signal my mobile network type changes all the time. Umts, HSPA, HSPDA, HSPAS. I think the phone can not get the proper signal and changes it connection type. Can I prevent this cylce? How can I get proper connection.
I tried a lot of radios and Roms. Nothing changed.
Thank you.
Hey guys. Strange thing just happened to my Gnex overnight. I'm currently on a OTA JB Rom. Unlocked and rooted. Stock radio. In the morning I found my phone with 0 bars of GSM signal. Thought it might be my GiffGaff operator who was down just recently. But the situation didn't change during the day. My SIM works perfectly in other phones. Other SIMs I put seem to catch signal briefly (mere second) during OS boot and even get an SMS but then it goes down to hell. What's strange is that the HSDPA works!!! Even though the indicator show 0 bars pages do load and I can use mobile internet. But can't make calls and send texts.. The signal strength shows -109 dB, HSDPA. Seems legit. But damn, what's happening to It?
Currently doing a nandroid backup and will try to either revert to earlier JB or ICS backups or try to flash something for the sake of experiment.. BTW reflashing stock XXLF1 radio didn't change a thing..
Have you checked to make sure that the network settings or on auto, or tried changing the network gettings to GSM(2g) only? Worth a shot ^^
So yeah..Flashing MIUI (4.0.4) didn't help..flashing another (older) radio didn't help as well..I'm out of ideas here..
I've entered the *#*#4636#*#* menu and tried to switch WHSDPA-preferred to GSM only. It didn't actually work. Ech..Flashing back my backup (to make things worse MD sum mismatched and I've lost the most recent backup)
So...I managed to get signal with a roaming SIM card. Though I can't call or text anyway. Even though I have 2-3 bars. Dammit, what can it be?
Hi. I've an HTC Desire, with Rooted Gingerbread (2.3.3) and the 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23 Radio. i'm in italy, under Wind, but i've also a Tim Simcard and both have the same problem: Under WCDMA/GSM or WCDMA only, sometimes the connection drop, maybe during a call, and then i'm not able to receive calls or sms'. most of the time the data connection works fine, except that sometimes it remains stuck and says it's uploading something (the icon on the notification bar) but after less than a minute it goes again. Please help me, i've tried different roms with different radios, when i first bought the phone (used from uk) i remember it worked fine, i started noticing the problem after i installed a gingerbread rom with sense 3. i can't use the GSM only mode, cause i've a data plan and i need browsing, so GSM is too slow
thanks

It may just happen in areas where you have poor signal.

thanks for the answer. i noticed that this situation is stronger in my bedroom, where i keep my pc. not in my house, just in my bedroom. the signal is not poor, i tried to download many app from the play store, and sometimes the download is fast, sometimes the download stops. then i tried the same thing out of my house, but connected with the same cell, and even if the signal was lower, and the download speed too, the download went good, and the signal never dropped, the connection type was WCDMA/GSM and the phone was in HSDPA. i don't know what it can be, i'm starting to think that there's something in my room with and electromagnetic field.

Maybe you have well-built house
Anyway, it's common problem. I have 3 Desires and they all loose connection in some areas for a while.
Every phone behave like that.
For me a useful trick was to change from GSM/(WCDMA preferred) to GSM/WCDMA auto as I'm hardly ever using 3G.
Phone chooses the strongest cell now, not just WCDMA cells.
I'm using CM7.2 and in CM forum there is a lot of issues considering 3G stability in Desire, so not much can be done.:crying:
Cheers
