Hello out there,
since I wiped my phone and updated to the most recent CyanogenMod 7 build (#262), my problem regularly freezes when switching from 3G to 2G mode. The only thing to get the device running again is to remove the battery and reinsert it again. If i'm still in an area or room with only 2G coverage, the phone freezes soon after boot-up.
Help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
toco
My phone:
HTC Desire (GSM)
PVT1 S-OFF
RADIO-5.17.05.23
CyanogenMod 7 20120225-NIGHTLY
Android ver. 2.3.7, kernel 2.6.37.6
What I'd do in this order:
1) stop using nightlies
2) change kernel
3) change radio
There was this guy whose phone froze every time he was in space with low or no 3G coverage, and I think changing kernel from snq's to some other solved it for him.

Thanks for your quick response!
Ok, I appreciate your advice. If the problem keeps occurring I will switch back to the latest stable.
But, still something strange about it: I had absolutely no problem the first weeks i was using this nightly (262 was since November 2011 the latest nightly until today), the problem started to occur from one day to the other.
I am using the radio version since probably half a year or even more, without any problems.
Also, 262 was reported (cyanogenmod forums, other forums) to be very stable on the Desire, almost no people reported having problems with it. That's why i decided to update to build 262. I for my part am suspecting a software being the cause for the freezes, but i have no clue which one.. I even checked the system logs.
As for the kernel: Call me a noob, but how do i change the kernel? I know how to root devices, flash recoveries and roms, but how can i change the kernel directly?
Greetings,
toco

Kernel is flashed the same way as roms are. Make sure you use a correct one, manU 2.1 is probably the most popular of those which will work on cyanogenmod.

if that doesn't work:
Dialer/
*#*#4636*#*#
phone settings > network type: WCDMA only
Alright, one more thing: If I change the kernel to let's say Manu 2.1 - how can I switch back to the original CM7 kernel again? Just by reinstalling the CM7 ROM?
Thanks!

Wait, if I set it to WCDMA only I can only access data services when in a 3G covered area, right? Thats not optimal either because i'm regularily visiting my parents on weekends, where only 2G coverage is available. Also in some buildings (esp. cellars) here in the city there is only 2G coverage.

Yeah, but it can solve the issue, I get it intermittently sometimes too but after a reboot or two its usually fine.
Hi
I have similar problem, freeze mainly occuring when the radio reception is poor...
Tried almost evrything differents ROM, kernels, gparted my SD, full wipe....
For three weeks I have no freeze since i tried bending the slots cards like mentionned here :

I would have written you a PM but as I'm not yet allowed to (too few xda posts) I have to put the question here: What happens on May 7th (your signature)? Because i'm looking for an adequate successor to my Desire (~3,7" display) as well.

I have done that one month ago and no a SINGLE freeze
I had about 5 a week before
It was mostly difficult on a train trip.
I am a heavy user of those very fast french train and i suffered of freeze about 3 times per trip (3 hours running 300 kmh)
Since the "bending" of sim an sd card = SOLVED !!
Thanks, that seemed to help! Even if i don't get the logic behind that.. but i don't have to, i just want a working phone
Thanks again mate!
There seems to be a lot of people complaining about desire freeze
I thins this should be tried by those since it fixes freeze for me and for you too !!!
Happy this helps you
I am using an other rom, but had the same issues. Problems gone with new kernel.
Droidzones kernel did it 4 me, but i am on a sense 3.5 rom.
Try with uv and other governors too. But i think its a kerne related problem.

3G to 2G freeze - solved
Hi,
I had the same issue: on 3G to 2G network change the phone froze. When moved out of 3G coverage, sometimes during/after the call (probably due to 3G-to-2G handover during the call), seconds after forcing the phone to 'GSM only'. I tried different ROMs, different radios, no success. Finally the guilty component was found: microSD card.
I changed from class 10 to class 4 and suddenly the issue disappeared.
The logic behind this is hard to grasp, but I tried two different ROMs now on a slower card and no freezing for couple of days now.
Hi,
I'm using the COS-Bravo - ICS [21-May-2012] on my phone. Since the first version I flashed I've been having the same problem, but as the ROM is under development, I thought the problem would get fixed in some update. It still hasn't so I'm reporting it.
When loosing a WIFI connection, the phone must switch to a 2G or 3G network. This doesn't happen. Mostly the WIFI icon disappears as it disconnects and the signalstatus doesn't change (no Edge, Gprs or Hdspa is added). When I go to Airplane mode and back or when I switch between 2G/3G, the connection is repaired and the data-connection works again.
I've also noticed this problem with other ICS roms (Sanvold and BCM)
Does anybody have a clue what this could be?
Radio
What radio version do you have?
Its recommended to have the latest radio.
You can find the latest radio here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687464
Of course the latest radio. ;-)
I have the same issue. When turning wifi off, my Desire doesn´t get a mobile connection though it´s showing, that i would be connected.
Switching to 3g and back doesn´t work for me.

Same problem here with Sandvolds ICS
I have this problem nearly 2 years now on every rom (stock eclair, froyo and cm7) and on every radio version, so I guess it is hardware depended.
Correct me if i am wrong.
What I do is switching to airplane mode and back, so i have to enter my PIN again.
Maybe there is a soltution, cause this is really drving me nuts
Thx
With the newest version (01-06-2012) the problem seems to be solved (for me). Perhaps you should give it a try.
I´ve been glad to hasty. It still does not work. Neither does it to switch between 2g and 3g. But the airplane-"hack" does work for me too.
I have same problem with COS ROM. Mobile internet connection after using telephone as wifi modem do'nt working successfully.... i need reboot phone, airplane mode not solving this problem..
Hi!
Same problem here (HTC Desire Bravo, GSM, Cos-Bravo 1st June, latest radio).
This "bug" is present in every ICS Rom and as well in some GB Roms I tried. So far, the RSK ROM Sense 3.5 with amaze cam doesn't have this issue.
I hope someone will get to it. I'm more than ready to donate if someone will be able to solve this out with next build.
Thanks.

To judge from my own experience - I'm still seeing this problem six months later - it has not been fixed yet. Or does it only affect a subset of Desires?
I'm experiencing it using a GB ROM - Mildwild 4.7, though it was there in 4.6 as well. I can only assume it is in the ROMs, as I get it on two different handsets, a PVT3 running radio-5.17.05.23 and a PVT1 rrunning radio-5.11.05.27.

Remove the skipbrokendatacall entry in build.prop file. This will not completely resolve the problem but will make it very much manageable.
Check your APN Settings and try to set APN-Type to default only.

OK, done - now to see if it makes a difference...
I was checking out some of the themes that i had downloaded to see which one i liked the most and after a few installs i noticed that my phone was no longer getting 3g/hspa+ ? I had done nothing except install and reboot like instructed in the discription. I was installing them via "Themes" settings. Im currently on AOKP build 39 with the latest nightly from Franco (R191), I have never seen this before which is why i thought id post this thread. I have tried the following and got no fix:
tried *#*#4636#*#* and selected radio band/automatic but got nothing.
tried a refresh on the APN and got nothing
tried Mobile networks/Network operators/both "Select Automatically" and choosing T-mobile and no 3g still =(. Im stuck on EDGE:2
The radio that i have been on for a while now is xxkk6 which has worked pretty good for me coming from Phoenix,AZ
Dont know what else to do, someone help please
Why make two threads for the same problem?

Before creating a "theme broke 3g" thread. Did you happen to call your carrier and see if there has been an outage reported in your area? Have you tried to reflash rom, gapps and kernel and does the problem persist?
good day.

I'm having the same problem. Was working fine on HSPA last night and woke up to Edge only all day. It's not a network outage and it's not my account as my SIM works on HSPA on my backup HTC Amaze. I was recently on CM9 Nightly 6/20 but I'll try going back to the stock rom and see what that does.
Edit: Tried reverting to complete stock everything and I'm still stuck on Edge only. I'll try a friend's SIM out and make sure it's not my account/IMEI issue, otherwise something has to be wrong with the phone, but I don't know what

There is no outage in my area because everyone that i know has T-mobile and there phone works fine. Re flash rom, gapps, kernel and problem still remains
Either me bringing it back to stock/oem lock then unlock or my phone fixed itself. At first when i was done bringing it back to stock, it was still saying i was on edge, then after about an hour when i tried to root my phone i noticed that 3g/h back up. I still dont know what exactly the root cause but whatever its fixed
hey guys im new to the forum.
i have a rooted nexus (maguro) on the Three "3" network in the UK and i was running AOKP for around 8 months with no signal problems at all. I flashed a new rom(jellybean) back in august and now my signal drops around every few mins and then comes back for a few mins and drops again. I have tried restoring to my old AOKP backup and the problem continues. i have flashed other jb roms and tried all different ril's using getril off the market but i just cant seem to stop this problem.
can anyone help? would be very much appreciated, thanks.
Try the app GetRIL and look if you have the right RIL and Baseband. If you don' have the right, you can change it ith the app.

hey, that's what ive been trying but even when i have a matching RIL and Baseband i still get the signal loss. i know it isn't my network as my gf is on the same network and her signal is fine
Try a different radio?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405345
Anyway, the GSM antenna on the Nexus is not the best around, so you may get slightly worse signal compared to other phones.

custom rom zips don't include any radio.
flashing a stock google image using fastboot will flash the radio over.
I have the same problem with you, but i am in Vodafone's network in Greece.
When i flashed the first aokp jb i started having problems with disconnections. The XXLF1 radio was extremely buggy.
Then i tried a ics rom and downgraded my radio to matching xxla2. But the problem remained so i changed back to aokp jb again.
Now i still have a buggy radio (total signal loss, data drops) but not so much as before.
It might be a problem with the frequencies each carrier use. I say that because when i had "2G only" enabled i had no signal but when i turned on 3G i had three bars at the same spot.
Anyway, i hope they release a better radio on the next update.

Refer to the link I included above, try different radios and remember to match the RIL.
Will the next nexus have a longer screen?
I've tried Liquidsmooth, CM Remix, Omni, and now Carbon. Every KK rom shows me the orange no data connection icon. Airplane mode toggle and wifi toggle doesn't work. Reboots only work sometimes. And that's not really a solution, rebooting my phone every 5 minutes. Why is this happening?
I only home that you switched all these ROMs with clean installs. Did you?
Of course
yea same here got a gnex on eBay having trouble getting it going ..looks like I'm going to an old ROM that my other gnex runs and at least has data connection
4.2.2. lol....
what baseband are people using for KK on gnex Verizon ?

yeah.. maybe your baseband version (radio.img) didnt suited you.
maybe broken driver ~ reflash kernel with wifi driver works for me. ( changing rom didnt change anything to radio/driver setting)
My old 4.2.2 JBSourcery gets signal just fine. And for some reason Omni gets better than the others but still cuts out.

rom can affects data coverage from the Rils files (in libs). usually continuously using 4.3 rils right now cause google doesn't update for gnex. gnex roms still on progress in this. CM & slim update the coverage issues so far. dont know wt others. sorry if im wrong..

I dont know what carrier you are on but when I was using my Verizon Galaxy Nexus, every ROM I flashed usually had no data on first boot. I got in the habit of rebooting the phone before I even went through the setup and after that, data had no issues. It was a known thing. Toggling airplane mode and 3g/LTE was also known to cause issues at one point. So if you clean flash, boot up and let it sit for a few seconds before going through the google setup. If data doesnt automatically connect, reboot right away. It should connect fine after that.
Yeah I'm on Verizon now. Hopefully making the switch to T-mo in about a month. The problem is not that data doesn't connect at all, the problem is that it will drop out and never come back. I live in Boston and in the subway I will lose the signal underground and it will never come back. Also my office is right in the main downtown area and I barely get a 3G signal no matter what. I know my signal strength isn't part of this problem. It's the data connection somehow becoming disconnected and staying idle that is stopping me from staying on KK.

Since you're on Verizon check shiny Rom. The guys there have done a lot of tweaking to improve data.
The reason data is problematic is partially since the gnex is no longer supported and the toro variant has had no officially android release since 4.2.2 and the ril and telephony stack have changed how they work with cdma in both 4.3 and 4.4. I believe the toro uses a bit of an older radio. Is this a problem when you disable 4g as well?

I've gotta say that Shiny ROM is just about flawless. I've never had issues getting or keeping a data connection when there's signal. I'm using the FK01/FK02 radios from 4.2.2 and the 4.2 bootloader.
I'll give my little testimony here: a basic stock rom will get you farther than a fully-featured one. I've heard the expression "mo' features, mo' bugs" and that seems to fit quite well. I'm not aware of any features in any rom that you can't get from one xposed module or another, so that's what I've been doing. I'd say give it a try and see if your data issues are resolved for good.
Shiny has always worked fine for me. I run latest everything.. bootloader, radio. CM I think worked fine for me but was ugly. Paranoid Android seems to have some connectivity issues.. I wish someone could solve this data issues. Maybe it is time to leave my nexus behind Just been waiting for another verizon nexus

wow.. lot of roms tested. that pretty brilliant idea for solving this. just use the best. data networks really different for each country.
* i found out a different in apn setting wt different rom. slim rom only captured 4g by my local provider (APN). when im tried asob its give choice in Apn setting ( 3g /4g). my country not fully h+ at several area. so changing to 3g got better network (better low than nothing)
