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
Can anyone help with an issue I get using AOSP/ICS roms. On a GB rom I normally get 1-4 bars of signal in my house, 3G speed is fairly rubbish but it does work. Whenever I flash any version of CM9 or AOKP I get 0-2 bars of signal, and mostly no mobile data.
The phone can be sitting on a table and show 2 blue bars, often if I pick it up it will change to none and give me network errors. I can normally still send texts and make calls when it is like this, just no data and things like Play Store fail to connect.
Calk's ICS rom may be a little better, but not much (the signal meter on Calk's bounces between 1x and 3G along with low bars).
Switching back to a GB rom I get all my signal back and the slow but actually working 3G. I have tried several modems on both GB and ICS and they show no difference in behaviour (I have tried EL29, FD10, FD16)
Since I have wifi at home it's not a real issue for data, however it seems to kill the battery searching for a signal. The "Time without a signal" shows 20-30% most of the time on ICS, vs 0% on GB.
Any ideas on why ICS roms are giving me no signal?
Cheers,
Richard
I've been getting the same thing but the connection seems to be the same as when I was getting more bars on GB. This is especially true when I'm using Wi-Fi. I'll get one bar of signal strength but it is still fast and I'm nor having connection problems.

i'm having a similar problem, only difference is that mine on ICS was working fine untill i softbricked and restoring back to ICS using CFRoot.. now i (just like you) have 0-2 bars, and have tried dozens of modems and kernels to fix the problem..
eh, maybe i should go back to GB too - see if that fixes my problem
If you search around these forums you'll find something bout getting rid of proxies that the sprint server uses... some people have reported great success and increased service while others have had no noticeable difference, I myself haven't gotten around to trying it, bit I still plan to, sorry I'm mobile right now and can't find the post, I'll see bout linking it when I get home

I've done this on a couple phones and I've gotten good improvements each time. It will only affect your 3g speeds and not 4g, and it's not a guaranteed improvement.. there are many factors that can affect. Check your speeds before and after to see if it helps you or not! =)

Hi all,
Just wondering if someone could help me identify my problem. I have been having some serious problems with internet on my One X. I flash ROMs a lot, almost on a daily basis. Recently, the internet on 3g and WiFi has not been responding about 50 per cent of the time. When I go on Facebook or browser for instance, the little upload arrow flashes at about 0.5 Hz, but no download arrow appears. It switches to 3g from H really quickly, then back to H and continues trying to get a response. No webpages load. This happens more often on 3g. Then when I try again 5 mins later it works for a while. Not sure if this is just luck though. I am on the Three network on the UK, on a phone that is locked to Three. I have experienced this on many ROMs, ARHD, AOSP, CM10, complete stock etc. Any ideas? Is this possibly a hardware fault?
Thanks

How's your signal strength mate? Go settings -> about -> network - and see what your signal strength reads.
You can try flash another radio too.

Signal strength has always been good. It is -91dBm
Ive never flashed a radio before, is that a separate partition to the kernel? Is it dangerous to flash a new radio?

Hi all
A search of the forums revealed 5 potential threads similar to this but not quite (not same symptom, phone, modem ...)
Keep loosing mobile data connection...
I have installed X-note 3 and found that my mobile internet is intermittent particularly in Youtube where I frequently have to click "No connection , Retry" or "Connection to Server lost, Retry" and in Play Store and Gmail where the problem tends to occur on a screen unlock after it has been unused for a few minutes - about 3 to 5 mins.
I dont believe this is a ROM issue because I d/l various ROMS such as Revolution, Alliance, PacMan, Paranoid and still I get the problem.
I tried installing all 9 of these radios here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2044937 to no avail.
Also notice that if I set Network Mode to "GSM only" then this makes no difference to the problem (the default is "GSM/WCDMA Auto" which is what I've set it back to)
WiFi works fine.
Any ideas?
same issue here.
a lot of time trying to know why this happen. and i think it is due to fast dormancy.
the phone usually stays in standby in 3g... when you request some data it will automatically turn h or h+. Here is when you will notice the internet moving.
But unfortunately if you have some.coverage issues you can have this problem and then the programs instantly report no conection. If you insist you will see you can obtain connection. 5 seconds later 3g will appear again
It does not mind you will see the bars of coverage at maximum... if there is no quality signal you will have this problem.
I just have this problem at work. Not in other places.
But if you want a constant connection I recommend to keep for example online music while navigating...this will avoid the issue...unfortunately you will increase your data plan..
Yes!! This is exactly what happens.
So it can't be my specific phone but perhaps a hardware design or software issue. I don't recall this I happening before I rooted
Weird
Fixed it - so far at least
Fast Dormancy is the problem. It was enabled by default and I have turned this off. The connection is now fine and seems to be "always on". For me this is okay because I do not have any data limits or pay per MB for data. I do notice that new connections take a little longer to start (for example, time taken to access internet when opening up an app that is not currently running) . This is not noticeable for apps already running (in the background)
This explains ....

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:
