HTC Desire reception - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello! I bought a desire second hand and it has no reception. I tried to change the radio and I tried almost everything. It didn't work. When there is an outgoing connection the reception is 3 and 4 bars but when the device go to sleep and then wakes up there is no reception. I think that is a problem in 2G module but I can't find the desire's scheme to see where is the 2G module situated and to see if it is broken.
Please if someone has a a scheme please post it or know what is the problem.

It looks at the operator's APN, it is possible that they are not in his place.
Is it Sim-Unlock???
You should not change the Radio until you do not solve the problem. Anyway: does he settle well when you change it?

Yes, it is Sim-Unlock. When the outgoing connection is active, there is no problem, Sometimes it drops but most of the cases it is stable and it doesnt stop. But when going to sleep there is no reception.
I look at the APN but everything is ok.

Type this on telephone: *#*#4636#*#*
It looks in the principal field of the submenu, and if it puts WCDMA you must change to GSM auto (PRL). It can be that it gives turned out...

Ummm!
If, probably.
It seems of the hard....
Good Luck!! and Grettings!!

Is someone know if there is some tech in the antenna cover or what is the role of it?

i have the same problem.
WCDMA works fine but GSM is broken. I've tried everything... different radios, settings, etc... looks like a hardware defect.
Did you find a solution?

I would love to find a way to really troubleshoot this. I've been having problems with flakey reception for a very long while. Im inclined to think the desire simply does not perform well in areas with moderate to low coverage. In other words, it needs a strong signal.
Are you sure your provider has a gsm network? In Canada, Bell and Telus (and their discount brands) don't have a gsm network. They built a hsdpa network on top of their old 2G cdma network. They are not compatible. Rogers network is better since you can always fall back on the legacy gsm network.

Cannot select manual network?

Hi,
I've purchased an unlocked TP2 from Clove and it seems to be working well, except for one irritating problem. I cannot select a network operator manually. I have the tab available but everytime I click on it, it gives me a 'device.exe' error.
I have been experiencing a lot of missed calls and my network operator suggested that I change the automatic settings to manual. This obviously did not happen and my callers continue to get a 'customer not reachable message'.
I tried calling HTC (India) and they had no idea on how to resolve this issue, partly because the TP2 hasn't been released here as yet.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
had the same missed calling problem, but it lies on the EDGE network where i always ON, change it to 3G and problem is gone. however, battery life decreased significantly
Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the 3G selection tab. I wonder if it's because the one I have is a Euro version? Will dig in deeper.
Thanks

Look under start\settings\phone\band change it to only use GSM and it will stop switching between bands, however data will be much slower on GSM than UMTS.

Still no luck. Will keep on pegging at this.

WCDMA / GSM auto problem

Hello Guys,
I'm experiencing a problem with my Froyo Desire for probably a week now.
The thing is that in certain areas my Phone can not receive calls / sms or such. In other words "GSM services" dont work. 3g though works fine (stable, strong and fast connection) My Provider is T-Mobile.
After quite a lot of testing I was able to isolate the error:
When WCDMA / GSM is chosen by the phone automatically it seems to me as if it didnt switch "back" to register with my provider via GSM when i want to make a call or if someone wants to call me.
When i switch to "GSM only" manually everything works fine but i have no 3g of course.
I also experience this problem only in certain areas. I live in an area where there is really strong HSDPA available (up to 7mbit\s). When i go to other places of my city i still get HSDPA (not as strong) but calls / sms still work.
The last paragraph may be of no importance, i don know.. probably it helps..
I have googled quite much about this problem and also found a few persons experiencing the same issue but nobody was able to come up with a solution.
I would be very thankful if someone could try to figure this out.

gsm only Desire?
I'm having a nightmare with 3g 2g connectivity on my Desire on the three network whilst at home. If I could manually select gsm only this would be fine as I could still call and text and use wi-fi. Unfortunately my options are gsm/wcdpa (or whatever) auto or the 3g only.
can someone please advise if it is possible to select gsm only and if so, how?
many thanks
Can someone please advise me how if possible, to set the desire to gsm only?

Wireless and network-Mobile network- should be here somewhere.
Thanks, but there is no option for gsm only. It's wcdma only or gsm/wcdma auto. there has to be a way around this.
Similar problem, different version
I've experienced similar problem.
In some area, I can get steady grps signal when I switched GSM only on; but when I switched WCDMA/GSM on, I could get no data connection at all.
I'm using China Unicom's mobile service.
Solution
Hi there,
I've the same issue and I fix it allowing the option GSM/WCDMA Auto in the configuration menu.
Then enter the following code *#*#4636#*#*, select "phone Information" and set preferred network type, set "GSM car (PRL)".
Sorry about my bad english.

[How to] disable LTE on AT&T S3 (you can disable HSPA+ too)

I have read that you can change your APN settings to turn off LTE. However, I found another way (with the help of carefreelife). Use at your own risk! I am not responsible for any harm you may do though it seems fairly safe to me!:
UPDATE: THERE IS NOW AN EASIER METHOD TO DO THIS WITHOUT PULLING THE SIM AND REBOOTING (check out post #47 below or use this link)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37310325&postcount=47
[OLD METHOD]1) With phone on, take off back cover and press your SIM card so it releases from the spring. It won't come all the way out as it's blocked by the battery. This seems fine - I didn't bother trying to force it out as I didn't want to break anything...
2) Once you see the message that the SIM card is removed, go to the dialer and dial *#2263#
3) You should see a menu with band selections. The current setting is "Automatic". If you switch to "GSM All", you will be EDGE (2G). If you switch to "WCDMA All", you will be on HSPA+ (3G, though AT&T and others call it 4G).
4) Press the SIM card back into place until it clicks. For whatever reason the phone will not recognize it until you reboot. Upon reboot you should see your new setting in effect.[/OLD METHOD]
I was attempting to follow this procedure for the S2:
{Trick} Get Around "RAT SELECTION RESTRICTED" on i897 modems! - xda-developers
...but I couldn't get the SIM out easily so I left it in...and followed the steps. It wouldn't recognize that the SIM had been reinserted so I gave up and rebooted...and it worked! No need to mess with airplane mode or anything just follow the steps above.
I was then able to follow the same procedure and turn back on the default setting which was "1) Automatic". After a reboot I am again connected to LTE.
Reason I'm using this: I'm testing a major battery drain issue that might be related to LTE/HSPA+ switching.
Reason you might want this: If you have poor LTE signal or even poor HSPA+ signal and want your phone to stop trying to connect to that network, this will stop it.
UPDATE:
A little bit of bad news here:
I have been on "WCDMA All" (HSPA+ aka 3G4/G, with LTE disabled) for 10 days now with ZERO problems whatsoever.
However, I am pretty sure that whichever you choose, if not "Automatic", you will be locked to ONLY that band:
i.e. if you choose "WCDMA All" you will not only be disabling LTE, but also 2G (EDGE) as well. You may not need it (and if so, it will not effect you) - but if your phone loses the HSPA+ signal, it will not fall back to 2G unless you change the setting.
I tested this theory by setting my phone to "LTE all" and trying to call myself from another phone. The call went straight to my voicemail. LTE is data only (for now) and when you receive a call, it switches to HSPA+. Unfortunately, since I had set my phone to "LTE All", it stayed on LTE and could not receive the call.
This may not be a deal-breaker but it's something to be aware of, for sure. I only tested "LTE All" because it was easy to do so, but I am assuming the same applies for the other settings...only "Automatic" would seem to pick the best available network.

Edited OP and changed thread title. Please help me test this. Thanks!
Just out of my curiosity, can you not do this:
settings > wireless and networks > more settings > mobile networks > network mode > GSM/HSPA
I have the Bell version, which is similar to ATT's, wondering if ATT disabled that option.

Yes, it is disabled on AT&T versions. If you try the method I listed above without removing the SIM card, it will be blocked as well.
AT&T does not want us to have any control over which network we connect to. It's been speculated that they want us forced on to LTE to take strain off the HSPA network. Honestly I think that's fine - though I prefer to have a choice - except that I suspect LTE switching is causing my battery drain issue and I need to turn it off in order to test that theory.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1811182
carefreelife at Android Central forums showed me that WCDMA All is the proper setting to disable LTE and stay on HSPA. It's working for me and seems to be perfect!

My battery life is great too - there just seems to be a bug that causes it to suddenly become terrible and drain fast until it's rebooted. This is just a method I'm using to test it.
It's possible that disabling LTE can increase battery life but I'm not sure there's any evidence that LTE uses more battery than HSPA+. On older phones the LTE was not integrated into the SoC and thus was a power hog...but it's integrated on the S3.
For users who are on fringe areas and receive poor LTE or HSPA+ coverage...the phone will use extra battery trying to connect and stay connected to those...even if it's [mostly] unsuccessful. Using this method would be a good idea for people who would rather just stay on the bands with strong signal and stop wasting battery trying to get on LTE or HSPA+ fruitlessly.
Thanks a lot for this I've been wanting to switch to 2g only THANKS

Hey what's up. I don't know what combination bands are - haven't ever used the Captivate.
And yes I'm still working on those battery issues...I'm hoping that THIS fixes it...even though it would meaning losing LTE for the time being...at least I'd know what's causing it!

You can mix the different bands between wcdma and gsm and their frequencies,that way you can get the best signal in your area.
How's that LTE test coming?

I can't say anything for sure until I get about 1 week of uptime with no plummet. It's been stable (battery and signal) since I enabled it, though.

I can't guarantee this works with any modifications to stock as I have only done it on my unrooted stock AT&T S3.
CM10. I just learned that you can only use dialer codes on stock roms. AOSP roms don't recognize them. There's a small few that work. obviously this one doesn't. Where can I find the APN info?
Nice find!! Works perfectly with my AT&T Galaxy S3. Going to test it out for a few days. I have 4G LTE where I live but when I go to college in the fall there won't be any LTE. This will come in handy!
However, with the WCDMA option enabled, does this mean you only have access to 3G and not 2G? Sometimes when I am in rural areas there is no 3G so I need to use EDGE or GSM. Hopefully with the WCDMA all enabled 2G is still accessible.

That's a great question. I have looked at it like a hierarchy but there's plenty of reason to believe it could be otherwise. There's not really anywhere in Miami I can go that doesn't have really strong HSPA+ so I don't know how I can test it. If anyone can do this test themselves and see what happens when you leave a 3G area please post results here.
Actually, once I am done testing the battery drain I could switch from Automatic to LTE and find somewhere in Miami where there's only 3G and see if it switches down to 3G or just loses signal entirely. Someone could also switch to LTE mode and try to receive a phone call...if it is truly locked on ONLY LTE then it won't be able to take a call...
The more I think about it the more it seems like this could be a major drawback of this method. I look forward to testing this later and hearing what you guys find as well. Thanks!

I'd also love to know if 2G works, but I can't while in North California. There isn't a single place within a 20 mile radius of where I live that doesn't have full LTE and HSPA+ coverage since so many people live here. I go to college in a fairly rural area in California though so in late September I'll be able to confirm if we can get 2G with the WCDMA method.

No service - HELP!

Hi Everyone.
Stock O2 ICS- rooted - bootloader unlocked
I've recently bought used HTC One V locked to O2. Problem is gsm service never worked for me.
WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS are fine but emergency call only.
I've tried different sim, 2 custom roms, hard reset and no lucky.
Under mobile network setting I cannot swap between WCDMA only - Auto - GSM only, it is sticked to WCDMA/GSM Auto only
When push *#*#4363#*#* Cannot change network mode too, WCDMA preferred fixed only, if going to radio band selection cannot choose any (Automatic, EURO Band etc) just got message "Set [automatic or any] Unsuccessful.
What is weird, When I turn mobile data on with correct APN for my provider (currently giffgaff) I have gprs running and can send and receive data, but with my other phones I had before my service has been alwaysfast as 3G and HSDPA, not "G" like now.
Please see below my screenshots, I've checked my mobile network with many apps and there is what I've found
Ok this may seem a very stupid question but it happened more than once. Are you using the little piece that covers the sim card? That has contacts in it, without it there is no signal

If you still have warranty, run a ruu so it goes back to stock, and take it to the HTC centre. If you are lucky they will recognize it as hardware problem and give you a new one. Remember to tell them it never worked, and if they ask about root or stuff, you don't know about it
No I don't have a warranty (it's second hand and a have no seller contact anymore), otherwise I would not asking here. Looking for somebody who solved this, if.

Help 4g

Hello friend, i bought a new m9 and when i activate data mobile i have only 3g , i tryed factory reset, to setup my network,
I rooted my phone, installed custom room.. still no change.. anyone can know why ?
Well maybe you dont have great 4g signal in your area? Or change apn.

As stated already , the signal could be weak in your area. Type in the dialer key pad ##3282# and you can also look to make sure all the bands are enabled on your device. I don't see why they wouldn't be though. A handful of users have stated bad connectivity with the M9, but that's on the sprint network I have been reading about.
at ##3282# it say only OK.. nothing about enable bands and i tryed sim of my friend (vodafone 4g) he have m8 and 4g working... on my m9 doesnt..

I have same problem with my M9+. In Manchester Area UK
I had perfect 4G with my old M8 but with new phone only 3G!!
Let me know if you get any answers. HTC and Vodafone couldnt help me either.
Check access point names, make sure only one is listed and selected.
Go to networks and search for network, click automatic.
Open the connectivity selection and make sure that the scalable option is chosen (2g/3g/4g)
Are you using one Base with the wrong firmware? Make sure they match up.
Find a friend on the same network or shared network and see if they have 4g in your location.
Test the sim in another phone.
Call network to check for issues in your area and or if there is an error against your account, may need a new sim if that one is old.
Test in major parts of the city center next time you're shopping..
Perform a speed test to see what speed you're actually getting, hspa is up to 20mb, 4g AFAIK is around 60mb, I've had 48 before. Anything over 20 could be considered 4g, you will very very rarely see a 3G tariff go over 19mb, which is the most I've ever seen.
Good luck.

I tried my sim with my wife's iphone and i got 4g without any problem. It's not a sim issue. Whatever the problem is, it's with the device (hardware, software, settings). I remember it also took me a few weeks after getting the M9 to get a 4g signal, but then one day it just appeared so there's that to add to the mystery.

Reset your network settings mate, set to manual then back to automatic.
Make sure you actually catch the network on manual first before manual. You will find it, it's just a case of going through the motions.
Also click menu, reset to defaults in access point names.

1. How do you "reset network settings"?
2. set to manual - you mean in 'Network operators' menu select 'Search networks', select my network, then go back and selecting 'Select automatically'?
3. What do you mean "just a case of going through the motions"?
4. Should I reset APN at the last step or at the beginning?
I'm trying to understand your steps as clearly as i possible can because this no 4g issue took a lot of time and effort from me and it still doesn't work. Any help is very much appreciated.

I am trying to help you.
There are no steps it's just a case of trying everything to do with the network. If what you say is true and you've literally just had this issue occur out of the blue then it has to be a difference on the handset, especially seeing as you have tested the sim in another phone and it works.
Reset to default is with apn, doesn't matter when you do this just reset them, make sure it's checked and cycle mobile data on and off.
Clarify that your device is set to 2g/3g/4g within network mode (I believe it's called)
And I was referring to setting network selection to manual within mobile network settings, then choosing your network, then researching and selecting automatic.
The path is: settings / mobile data / network operators / search networks, wait for yours and select it, cycle mobile data (turn off then back on) if that doesn't work, switch back to automatic.
Reboot your phone after making changes, perform the full shut down method instead of the restart or power off methods, it's power and volume up AFAIK, hold for 10+ seconds, might be 15.
Going through the motions refers to checking anything and everything which influences the network, one of these setting will get it working..
Might be seen as overkill but a factory reset (if it's not been tried already) good luck.

Going through the motions refers to checking anything and everything which influences the network, one of these setting will get it working..
Might be seen as overkill but a factory reset (if it's not been tried already) good luck.

I know you are trying to help me, and I very much appreciate it. Truly am.
I tried doing all the steps you listed, but no luck. Even tried at some point to force lte only in 4636 screen but that resulted in no signal at all. Trying to manually select a network in that setting only gives me the other 2 networks that work in the area but not vodafone which is what I use.
As a complete overkill I RUU earlier to the new 2.11.617 firmware without signing into my google account or restoring anything, and still no lte. What I did saw however, in the select network screen, was that next to my network, it said 2g/3g and next to the other 2 networks here it said 2g/3g/4g. Obliviously I can't select them as it's a vodafone simcard.
I added here SS from LTE discovery app while i was on 'lte only' mode. You can see signal is there but it cannot connect.
Any wild ideas or suggestions? I'm opened to try almost anything
Just out of interest, have you tried a different sim card? I know you said that your sim worked in another phone but I'd still be tempted to contact voda to get a new sim and to see if everything is set up on a network level, you may have to tell via that the issue is persistent in different phones or they may make you pay for it.
Also, might be something to do with the association between your phone and your sim. I once had a sim that blocked my missus, she could call me but I couldn't call her, no active diverts of any kind, I could call anyone and they could call me, got a new sim and it was sorted. Very strange, but anomalies like this do occur.
Have you got any mods or are you at stock at the moment? I know you said ruu. Oh and lol click thanks BTW.

Well the thing is that my wife's sim card in my phone only gets 3g. On her iPhone it's 4g. My sim card in my wife's iPhone gets 4g. On my phone only 3g so it seems like a very specific problem with my device.
Shortly after ruu I installed viper 3.5 without any mods..
Can it be that my device is somehow blocked by the network towers or something of that nature?
Maybe a hidden setting somewhere that blocking the phone's 4g capabilities? This is getting ridiculous..
Thanks for your help mate. Can't believe I forgot to press the thanks button [emoji2]

No worries fella
If you've already tried another sim and it's still not happening, the firmware matches the rom, your sim works in other phones with 4g. Then I'm really not sure mate..
Give Lee droid a whirl that's what I'm using at the moment.. A simple but great rom..
I'm pretty much out of ideas now, if all of the above has been checked then it's something that I'm not aware of.. Sorry mate..
for the record it is a weird one, something should have got it working by now..

Are you in a position to be able to return the device? Just in case

Thanks for the help mate.
I can't return the device as it was bought in the states and I live in Europe at the moment.
I think I will try to change my sim card for a new one just in case, and will change back to stock 2.11.617 for a couple of days to see if that can make any difference.
Will post an update if i will have one.

Good luck fella, hope it all works out for you. With it being bought in the states would the band frequency of the device make a difference? Just spitballing there. Good luck..

Yes it would. He probably bought a cdma and has to have the correct bandwidths unlocked.
