I'm absolutely baffled that I'm the only one apparently suffering from this.
At first it was ok, now, no matter what ROM or base, the signal quality is terrible.
Where my HTC Sensation was getting full bars, or constant HSDPA (I rarely ever seen 3G), this One X is either getting 3G, G or E, which means no web pages will load or anything, very terrible.
It's making me consider "downgrading to upgrade", because the only time I can browse the net happily is either very close to Wi-Fi source, or where HSDPA is very strong, so I will just about get HSDPA then.
Other people must be suffering from this?????
The only plus with the One X is in my village I find it easier to get 1-2 bars and a bit of G.
Thanks.
Talk Mobile??? What's their coverage like?
Do you know what your Radio is? Try flashing a few different radio's to see if that helps?
Talk Mobile is on the Vodaphone network.
I've never attempted to flash a different radio, in fact I've never even seen a list of radios, as far as I knew they were included in the actual ROMs now.

Afaik some of the Devs have access to different radio's, Try asking Mike1986 from ARHD or Football to see if they can help you.
I'm sure that I've seen some threads about flashing different radios to fix signal problems before, I think to see Mike1986 posting about it when I used to frequent the HTC Sensation's Android Development threads.

It is probably a hardware fault with the phone. If your HTC Sensation is getting a good signal with the same SIM/network provider, and your HTC One X isn't, then I suspect a fault, perhaps internal antenna connection issues that have plagued Wi-Fi. Try gently squeezing the phone with your thumb over the home key and fingers underneath and see if reception improves.
There is also an internal cable that may not have been attached correctly in the phone to the antenna, either way it is back for a repair.
I can't see way a software would be to blame.

I'm using the micro SIM that was provided.
The signal reception bars are never really different, it's just the phones inability to hold a decent HSDPA connection, constantly flicking from 3G, G and E, so I'm loading a website on HSDPA, as soon as it flicks to 3G, loading stops because the connection is far too slow.
I do have the Wi-Fi issue, if the signal is not full on, so I'm a bit away from the router, the wireless is just cutting out all the time, was not like this with HTC Sensation.
I don't really know about getting it sent in for repair I won't have a phone then!
If you get 3G, then you get H, they are the same technology.
What you will find, however, is that the One X supports fast dormancy, so the data connection will sit on 3G until H is needed, then switch, then drop back to 3G when it's not.
you guys tried flashing different radios?
Is it fast dormancy causing the problems then? How can I disable it?
I can't flash different radios as it's very hard to find different radios for the One X
Apparently you have to to change the build.prop to disable it:

The SIM card doesn't control reception, that is a myth. The SIM card is just like the chip in your credit card, it holds a number and some data to identify you to the mobile phone network.
The problems a self cut or old SIM my cause is that it doesn't connect very well to the phone, this means your phone thinks the SIM card has been removed and gives you "No Service" or Emergency only calls.
The only other time the SIM card may make you think it is affecting reception and giving you a lower signal is if you are roaming and it you don't have an up to date roaming list, usually though this is updated over the air anyway, a new SIM card may allow you to roam onto nearer cells so you see a better signal.
A bad SIM will not knock a couple of a bars off your reception, in the same way a bad credit card doesn't give you less credit limit.

I recently purchased a G2 and was wondering if there is any benifit in activating the new simcard? I live in an area where 3G is everywhere but inside the city limits. I used to work at At&t way back when it was Cingular and I briefly remeber telling people something about upgrading to the 64 or 128 bit simcard (can't remember for sure). I have been using the same simcard for two+ years. If I travel to area's outside the city, I can use 3G speeds.
Your Knowledge is greatly appriciated.
slim
Why not?
You have nothing to loose!
...and I'm nearly certain it doesn't give you any extra benefit; I've had my SIM Since, the T-Mo Wing[?]
& Its still Going Strong!
Just replace it the sim technolgy has been the same for several years but if its real old the new 4g network might suffer a bit but still won't be to bad but it comes with a new one so just update it. Make sure that you back up any contacts you may have saved on it first though
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I called a T-mo rep about it and he said the sim cards have a expeiry date based on network transitions. He told me to activate the new sim simply because it was able to "recognize" more available bandwidth and that it did not expire from transitioning from umts,hsdpa,and hspa+ quickly where as he said mine would. (I find this bogus because my voicestream SIM card still worked)
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I personally think that T-Mo are talking BS. I'd be happy to be wrong if someone can provide proof that they're actually correct on this issue.
Actually its probably best. I checked my old sim card with the new sim card and the copper connector on the back is different from the new and old sim cards. Plus after activating the new one, I didn't have hiccups transfering from E to 3G to H whereas before it would randomly drop from H to E. But thats for me.
I am having an issue on my One X (unbranded and unlocked) with the signal vanishing and not reconnecting unless I force it. I was wondering whether it effects all networks or just networks that use more than one carrier. Three has its own 3G network but it uses Orange 2G signal. I also saw a thread with the same issue on T-Mobile / Orange which is also dual carrier.
I am wondering whether it is the switch between these networks which is causing it to lose signal and not reconnect.
I have had several instances where my signal has an R next to it as if it is roaming, this would be when it is connected to the Orange 2G network, I never had this problem on my Desire HD or Sensation.
Does anyone know of any issues on Vodafone or O2 regarding signal loss or is it just networks which use multiple carriers.
My One X is stock and bootloader has not been unlocked.
Thoughts?

Are you still on the 126 SW?
As your unbranded then you should be able to get the 128 update.
With 126, my Three handset recieve level was about -88 to 91dbm.
With 128 its now at -75dbm in the same location.
Most, if not all of the roam to Orange has now been disabled, remaining where there is no Three signal at all.
Steve
No I have upgraded to 1.28, unfortunately I am still in an area where it does switch to Orange 2G signal.
It seems to hang on to 3G until I have virtually no signal, then goes to no signal and doesn't reconnect unless I force it. It seems to mostly happen when I put the phone away on my pocket so I dont notice I have no signal until I check my phone.
I lost signal today and to test the reconnect I left the screen on and I drove about 20 miles through large-ish towns and it didn't reconnect once, had to force it when I got home.
Not sure if this effects single carrier networks, O2 or Vodafone?
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Have you had the same issue with any other handset?
Are you a new customer to Three and this is the first you have seen of this?
Reason I ask is when I was thinking of going to Three for my main phone, I tested with a handset I just used for tethering off the one plan.
I drove out of town to an area where I guessed there would be no Three coverage.
The signal hung on for ages but when it dropped I made a note of where it dropped. After a few moments the handset went over to Orange 2g. I then drove back home. I must of drove at least 5 miles past the point I noted earlier before the Orange signal itself dropped and had to force the handset to Three myself.
This sounds similar to your issue and was with a Desire S….but you say you didnt have this with previous handsets. All very strange
Steve
I've had a Desire HD and a Sensation both on Three and never had issue on either of these.
There must be something different about the way the One X handles the switch of signal, or maybe it's just faulty.
Might try some other SIM's from other networks, if that doesn't work I'll get a replacement.

I'm on three and it never seems to switch to gsm just looses signal all together and takes ages to reconnect once I move location. this is a proper pain I've had the phone replaced three times changed sim still not got better I'm thinking its the radio version on this phone or some software related issue.
If you're phone is from Three you won't get the update until Three release it.
I did see on another thread that Three won't be releasing 1.28 as HTC are currently working on the next update. Don't know how true that is.
My phone is unbranded and unlocked to any network, which is why I got the update.
Think I'm going to get a replacement and see if that's any better, hope it's not a general issue with the one X having lower signal.

If you dial *#*#4636#*#* on your phone and select phone info you can select GSM only which is 2G, this really improves signal but because it's 2G you are stuck on really slow data speeds.
If that is the case and you've had 3 replacements, maybe it's worth holding out for the next update to see if that fixes the problem.
I'm a little uneasy about returning it for a replacement as I don't have any other problems with it (bad screen seal, banding on display or yellow display) I may end up with more problems with a replacement.

Is any chance change three rom on factory rom?
I had similar issues to what you are describing with yours on my original unlocked/unbranded HOX on T-Mobile. I had issues on top of the ones you mentioned where it was also saying I had a signal and had appeared to lock up and would just drop the mobile network and say at the bottomg of the screen "preparing sim".
Most the time I was stuck with putting it in and out of airplane mode to make calls, only for them to drop or fail all together.
This was on both 1.26 and 1.28 FW. In the end I took mine back and swapped it and the replacement has been perfect since. so it was without doubt a hardware fault in my case!
Good luck solving your problem, but I would suggest taking it back and getting a straight swap.

You can't change you ROM unless you unlock the Bootloader at HTCDev and this will void your warranty with HTC.
Three will release an update eventually, and 1.28 is no better signal wise for me than 1.26 was!!

Interesting, I too had the Preparing Sim message until I got a new SIM from Three, this seemed to fix this message but I am still having Signal Problems.
I think I'll follow your lead and go for a replacement, I have to use Airplane mode to force the signal to reconnect as well.
Thanks
I can confirm I have these problems. I'm on three but the phone was from Dialaphone and with orange but is unlocked. I have exactly the same problems as those been described. This is a very irritating problem that makes me miss calls and texts in my poor 3 signal area.

I think it might depend on location, in some areas the 2G signal (Three use Orange network for 2G) has been turned off. In my Area (South West England) I still have access to the 2G GSM Signal.
Obviously Three save a lot of money from turning off GSM and not paying Orange to use their network.

Guys Im three network customer and now I bay this HTc from my friend with is 3 network customer as well, can I claim now exchange this phone? I have only photo delivery invoice. Can I?
hi all,
stock 551ML no root, the calls running on SIM1 (4G) gets disconnected after 5/10 minutes. i suddenly see the radio bars disappearing, i can't hear anymore the called party, and then the call drops. Tried with 2 different carriers on SIM1. The phone is always enabled with 2 SIM's, but on the second one (whatever the carrier is) there's no such problem. I think this phone has large issues when dealing with 2G/3G/4G swap, signal quality on SIM1 is terrible (tested in comparison with wife's iphone6+ with same carrier same location) and often i lose signal on SIM1. Definitely not a work phone in this way. any idea? can a full reset improve the situation?
Please ensure firmware is updated to latest version. Next please try performing a hardware reset including cache wipe partition. http://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1011956/
If the problem continues then it may be a hardware issue with the SIM slot and will require RMA service.
Sincerely
ASUS_USA
[email protected]
after few weeks i can say more about this issue, on SIM1 the 4G slot. (stock phone updated and wiped completely)
1) carrier signal reception has now slightly improved with .59 and .63 update
2) problems on switching from 4G to 3G still there, when 4G signal is poor the phone is not able to detect it, and tries and tries and tries sending data to nowhere. after a minute or so, switch to 3G happens and i got network connectivity again
3) comparison with iphone6+, samsungS5 and sonyZ3 (same network, same location) is still terrible, while i got no network, iphone does and loads the pages, slowly but it loads the full page. i think here is the price difference between the two -> antenna, radio, optimized software for any signal condition
4) under bad (bad from a 551ML point of view) signal conditions the battery drains a lot more faster, and that's fine but at least i would like to use the phone, to receive calls, messages, whatsapp and so on.
5) during a call on SIM1, it still happens that signal disappear and i the call is dropped, less frequently than i had before .59 update, but still happens.
6) i'm calling using SIM2 BTW, SIM2 on 2G has no issues.
i will be soon able to compare with honor7 (it should have a very good optimization on the radio part) and let you know.
bye
I am on AT&T in the US and having a similar problem and hoping someone can help except for me it is SIM 2 that is the problem and for me it is at home. Last night I was on a call that kept dropping, and it was not a good thing at all and I had to end the call. I pretty much cannot sustain SIM 2 calls in my house but SIM 2 elsewhere is okay; calls on SIM 1 are perfectly fine and with my previous phones (Note 3, iPhone, Windows Lumia 1520) no reception problem history ever at all. So this clearly is a device issue and not an AT&T issue as I get good coverage in my house. I had two phones up until a month ago when I opted to consolidate by getting the ZF2.SIM1 is perfectly fine most of the time-I've never dropped a call although a couple times I have to say I've not heard as well for a moment as I could, so I question if my house and the Zenfone2 are a good match, although that is really a weird thing as I live in a major suburban metro area that is not a coverage problem in any way shape or form with any dead spot problems, so I am wondering if something is wrong with my hardware and I need to exchange my phone. I'm going to have to pop my SIM 1 back into my Note 3 in the interim and forward calls on my second line in the interim in the meantime if that's the case . (my windows phone takes a nano SIM) and send my ZF2 back for an exchange Should I do a hard reset? Why would my house be a problem? It's not a dead spot area or remote or anything like that. I really like this phone already got a new SIM 2 card once before when I had problems at first but it seemed to be better until I then tried to make a c all yesterday and it wouldn't work.Could my phone be defective? Hard reset?? My software is up to date.

Glad to hear things worked out for you. My situation didn't work out. I just returned the Zenfone yesterday. I had gotten the replacement phone through ASUS, still replaced yet another SIM card, and the problem with my SIM 2 persisted and got even worse. For me, the SIM slot being 2G did turn out to be the destructive feature of the device. My area is too upgraded for it apparently. You're the only other person I've come across that has referenced SIM 2 usage to me, so I get the sense that most people are just using the ZF2 as a single SIM and don't have a second phone line or data line. Therefore I can understand people being happy overall as it's a decent device for a single SIM user. You are lucky that your SIM 2 coverage is good everywhere. Mine was good in some areas but certainly not in and around my house and there my SIM 2 was unable to sustain phone calls. I didn't care about data-I only wanted phone calls but I couldn't do calls even.I had no cellular connection and my SIM 2 would X out and drop off all the time.
I never had a problem with SIM 1. I always got calls just fine and I found that ASUS always provided updates and I noticed changes in battery life. I was pleased in every other regard but the very purpose that I bought the phone for -to be able to get calls to both my phone lines. I do think ASUS dropped the ball with the 2G slot and need to make their next model with both slots supporting LTE. They me might get me back as a customer if they do.

It looks like I am not the only one who has the sim 2 signal issue. My phone has this issue from day one, the signal of sim 2 just comes and goes all the time. Software update doesn't help at all. I've also tried putting a new sim card, but still have the same problem. I think this is a hardware issue.
sim 1 signal quality is normal but sim 2 signal quality very poor and no bar in many times but when i check same network with old mobile in the same area it was 3 bar although my asus zenfone mobile signal has no bar. sorry for my bad English

Sim 2 is only on 2G, is 2G still available in your area? You may also be hitting a 2G far away as the tower near you no longer supports 2G

I have my Vodafone esim in my 6pro and the signal is fine on that no problems at all 4/5g pickup is good etc.
But my physical 02 work SIM (not on a 5g plan) - the signal sometimes disappears to the point it says no service and won't come back until I eventually reboot.
Any one else with this issue? Happens even in decent signal areas where I am used to using 02 a lot. And indeed post reboot the signal is good. Never has issues with the same combination of esim/physical SIM on my P5.
My Vodafone esim doesn't have this problem seemingly.
It could be a dodgy connection or the SIM was damaged on moving from one device to another? If it stops responding or crashes (SIM cards have a little CPU and operating system in them) then the phone will drop the mobile connection.
I think all you can do is try cleaning the contacts with something (Isopropyl is a good thing to use) and seeing if that improves things, otherwise try a new SIM.

I'll try getting a new SIM. It hasn't happened on my previous phone with same SIM. But as you say might have damaged SIM during swap.
It's weird it does work for a bit though. But seemingly if I lose signal it doesn't reconnect.
My voda esim behaves as you'd expect.
Someone I know on giff gaf (also 02 network) is having exactly the same issue. Wonder if it's a network thing....
Hope my phone's not knackard
