[Q] 3G connection not possible after radio update - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello folks, I need some help.
I updated the radio of my Desire from 5.11.5.27 to 5.17.5.23.
After that I can not establish any 3G connection anymore.
There is no network at all when selecting WCDMA only in the settings.
All other options let the phone connect to 2G, even though the signal strength is not very good (2 or 3 bars, but It might be normal, I never used 2G before in my current area).
I already downgraded the radio to 5.17.05.08, 5.14.05.17 and finally back to 5.11.05.27 but it didn't help.
I also restored a nandroid backup without any improvement.
What the heck happened here?
How can I fix this?

Left the phone 2 hours powered off, then additionally removed the battery for 30 minutes.
Don't know what happened but it's working again.

Problems with 3G and unavailable WiFi MAC addr, Bluetooth, and 4G.

Hello gents,
I'm having some issues with my signal and keeping a continuous 3G connections. I recently got the new 2.15.00.09.01 radio update. Unless a wimax update is automatic, I haven't flashed anything wimax.
I can't figure out what to do. I checked my phones hardware info and everything I previously mentioned is unavailable, and I'm not sure if that's normal :/ I'm having problems receiving phone calls and text messages.
Please help gents. It's utterly annoying to receive text messages several hours late. Haha.
Thanks in advance.
Reflash the radio COMBO here from Calkulin...: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485 It'll update all your radios to the latest. The MAC addr for all, Wifi, Blutooth and 4G won't show up in the phone information until you turn them all on. Turn them on in settings or put the appropriate widgets on your home pages and control them from there.

[Q] GPS is turned on when I enable WiFi

Every time I enable WiFi I see the GPS icon show up indicationg that some app is requesting the location. This has started to happen last weeks and is very annoying.
I enabled "use wireless networks" under location some weeks ago and accepted the request from Google to collect anonymous location data, but disabled it again when it drained my battery. Could it be that Google started use the GPS instead and only when WiFi is enabled to not use my 3G data?
Anyone experienced this?
there is bug of ur rom, wt is ur rom?

[Q] Data connection problems

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

[Q] No automatic switch between WiFi and 3G

Hello,
hard to describe my problem. Normally WiFi as well as 3G is turned on. At home the phone is using WiFi but when I leave home and do not have WiFi anymore it often does not automatically switch to 3G. I still have coverage indicated by the status bars but the H is missing. As a workaround to bring 3G back I can either switch between 3G and 2G or go into Airplane mode and back.
However, both solutions do not satisfy me. I want to understand why this does not happen automatically.
Thanks
Stock ROM? Rooted? Please answer these questions before posting a question...

I installed the unofficial CM9 and already downgraded from 3.35.20.10 radio to 3.35.19.25. Without success.
Might it be related to HTC Smartsync powersave issue, though HTC Wildfire Buzz should normally not be affected?
SmartSync is different.
Why didn't you have success when downgrading the radio?
No success in the sense that the problem still persists. Any ideas what I should try out?
I should maybe try out a different ROM. Maybe it's a problem with my operator.
Try a different ROM
I could resolve it by reducing the number of APNs to one.

3G disconnect, only use 2G (GSM). Help me!

I installed room ( {Rom}{ICS} Official Global CM9), after 2 days my phone's network is disconnected. I reinstall the original room 2.3.4 but only use 2G when I used dataroaming; completely unusable 3G & network global mode always (I fullwipe data before reinstalling room 2.3.4 ; radio 1.09.01.0312 & APN properly installed). Please help me how to be able to use 3G
because my phone is example:
Unfortunately, I'm having the same problems with this ROM on HSDPA that I was having on aeroevan's ROM. GSM is found immediately on boot, however, HSDPA is very flakey. It will succeed in connecting every now and again, but then randomly drops the signal and won't reconnect. I thought maybe I just had a weak 3G signal where I was testing, but I have a BB Bold for work as well and that can easily maintain a 3G connection on the same network. I also had no problem way back in the day with CM7.2, but that ship has sailed .
Also, when the phone is in WCDMA preferred mode, after a while the phone will lose all connections (usually after a reboot but not always), including to GSM and when I go to reselect my network operator I get the message "Error while searching for networks". No matter how many times I reboot the phone or switch to "GSM Only" or "GSM/WCDMA auto" it never lets me again select my network provider.
Dude you already posted the same thing in q&a why did you post here
