Hello everyone!
I have a problem with my HTC Desire, it keeps losing Internet signal (3G and other) every few weeks or so. It is not software error beacause I tried various ROM-s,even stock ones and the problem persists. It does that everywhere, I traveled to London recently and it happened there. Reboot doesn't help. It just stays like that for a few hours and then everything goes back to normal. Anyone got any idea what it might be?
Thanks!

Hi,
Two days back my htc desire suddenly lost connection to the mobile network. I now get a small cross on top of the signal bars and "no service" written on the notification bar. Sometimes this changes to "sos".
The wifi is working fine. t
The only problem is voice and data over the mobile network.
I tried a lot of things:
reboot
flashed a new radio
complete wipe/ factory reset
flashed a new rom
But to no avail.
A strange thing did occur though, at a mall, my phone suddenly started working for a few minutes and then went back to the same state as before. This same thing happened last night too.
I am unable to understand this and request all of you to help.
current status:
Phone: htc desire amoled
s-on
bb: 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23
miui 17.15
Ring your provider.
S.O.S. Problem

I always get S.O.S, the emergency call thingy!
How to solve this? I tried flashing to CM7 and its fine.
So I assume the problem would be the ROM
Any solution to this? Patches or something?
I would love to continue on using MIUI
Thanks all
Regarding the above problem.. had the same thing... what i did is this..
on dial pad use *#*#4636#*#*
then goto phone information (first one)
scroll down you'll see "set preferred network type"
mine was selected "WCDMA" I changed that to "GSM Only"
Since then no problem of S.O.S has come to me
I am sending it here because I am unable to post in the forum... something to do with minimum of 10 Post.. Hope this helps
Guys thanks for your replies.
I have already done the *#*#4636#*#* bit and it hasn't helped.
Regarding the rom, I was originally on cyanogenmod 7 when this problem started. I re-flashed CM7. Didn't help. Then i flashed miui. the problem remains.
Although I would like to add that over the past two days, at two different locations, I have been able to make one call and recieve one. How this happens, I don't know.
Still trying to figure it out but I just read elsewhere on this forum an exactly similar problem being faced by a few people during the last few days.... so keeping my fingers crossed.
Ah! and one more thing, I have tried sim cards of almost all operators and none work in this phone.
Same problem here aswell,
me too tried every thing,
but non of them helpfull..
Still searching for help
This may seem like a dumb question, but the people experiencing this problem, are you in the same country/region?

A little update in my situation:
I visited another city for an hour yesterday and the phone latched onto vodafone in seconds and worked like a charm but as soon as i got back to base, it was back to its dead state.
This is a really confusing situation because, one moment it seems like its a hardware problem (since none of the operator's sims tend to work in it while in delhi) and then sometimes it seems to be a network problem (as it seems to work just fine in some areas)
Guys, please.... please help. This is so frustrating.
guys i'm still waiting for a reply.... doesn't anyone here have a solution to my problem?
Install cm7, then full wipe and then install freshly your new rom.
I did that way and after that was network connection back.
Sry my bad english!
Sent My Desire.

sigh

Hey this worked but only partially. Now the phone does latch on to network at most places except two: my workplace and home.
And in some places it shows full signal strength but calling is not possible.
Hi
I've had my Desire HD for about 9 months now and have rooted it and been running Android Revolution HD. I have been running version 5.2.6 for a couple of months without hassles.
This morning my phone lost reception and wouldn't regain signal with out restarting the phone. Then about 5 minutes later it lost signal again, so I restarted it again and then this time it rebooted and said there was no SIM card. So I pulled out the SIM, blew it out and put back in and it worked, for 5 or so minutes.
I haven't done any updates or downloaded any apps or changed any settings between yesterday evening, when it was working perfectly, and now.
I thought perhaps an upgrade would solve the issue if it was software-related, so I did a nandroid backup and Titanium Backup and installed the new Android Revolution HD 6.1.3 - which looks awesome! But unfortunately the problem remains.
Sometimes I reset and it works for 5 minutes, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes it shows the no SIM error. Sometimes turning it off for a few minutes and restarting it regains the signal, but it inevitably drops again.
I've had a bit of a Google and it seems some others have had similar problems with the Desire HD, but all the discussions are a bit vague and I couldn't be sure my problem is the same as another's. Some suggested replacing the SIM card, most ended up having their phone replaced by Vodafone. I thought perhaps the Vodafone Australia update had run itself and that had caused the problem, but then again the update was released in August (which I didn't install).
I'm hoping someone else with a DesireHD has had a similar problem or anyone has some ideas I could try.
If I have no luck I suppose I'll have to return the phone to original firmware and take it in for repair.
Thanks alot to all the developers on here who've enabled me to enjoy my Desire HD way more than if I was still stuck in Stock ROM land, I hope you can be of some assistance to me!
Cheers, Bickers
have you tried to change the radio??
I was using the radio supplied with android revolution HD. And now using the new radio supplied with the 6.1.3 version.
The problem is still occuring, but today its alot less frequent. I've only restarted my phone twice in about 4 hours use. Perhaps it could be an intermittent hardware fault?
Are there any known faults with the DHD?
change radio
Bit of a funny one this. Unbranded HTC Desire on Orange. Started about two months ago when I was updating the radio and Cyanogen Mod 7. I can make calls if I try to connect a few times, I can send texts (go out first time 7/10 times), and my 3G works perfect all the time, but the phone is often showing no bars, or showing disconnected, and my texts come through only about once a day, and calls almost never. Finally, the clock is running fast, taking on about 7 or 8 minutes per hour, sometimes more.
On my end, I've tried a few radios, I've unrooted and gone back to android 2.2 but it's not helped. The strangest bit is about two weeks ago it randomly started working for a full week (though the clock was still taking on time), but last Sunday it crapped out again. Also, when I was in the States (I live in the UK), it worked fine, but about two days after I got back it stopped working again.
Anyone have any ideas before I ship it back to HTC?
I had the same problem with some version of cyanogen mod. by reflashing ROM my problem has been solved.
My phone rejected calls and text messages on my GSM network.
Hope helping you...
Hi, readysteadyjedi, did you manage to resolve this issue?
I had the same problem with my HTC Desire on vodafone, around that time too, just before xmas for week or so. Raised with vodafone and it seemed to resolve itself (i don't believe related to anything vodafone did), but it's back again.
Virtually no signal and erratic text service near my home (non 3G, think old GSM only), a lot better signal and service in London (signal HSDPA), but even then still not problemless (calls take couple of trys before connect, or drop for no reason). And often shows no bars followed a few mins later by full signal.
Even have a vodafone suresignal box (like private cell which connects via broadband) and very poor connection to this too.
Oddly though, my clock time runs very fast too. Used clocksync app and can watch the clock gaining time!!
Have tried various roms, presently gone back to an older basic rom and still no different.
Have presently borrowed a different HTC Desire and this is working fine, as my Desire used to be. This is non-rooted stock Rom.
Used Clocksync app on this and can see this clock gaining too, but nothing like the same alarming rate.
Can only put it down to phone hardware, something with the antenna perhaps, where 3G/HSDPA can connect ok but non 3G (GSM/GPRS/EDGE) is having problems. And perhaps the clock is a red herring.
Anyone any ideas?
Cheers.
Hola,
A few weeks back, out of nowhere, my Desire started roaming back and forth which sucks cause internet gets disconnected every 2-5min or so.
This was not during a ROM change or anything else, it just kind of happened... and it is still happening.
I had never actually flashed different radios before, it always worked the way it was with any rom I used... today I flashed a couple different radios... issue remains.
Btw, no issue with wifi or phonecalls, not sure about gps signal.
I don't see how the APN would be wrong as I didn't change it for over a year and had no issues before.
Anyone got a clue what could be wrong?
(S-OFF, CWM Touch Recovery, cm7r2 hboot) if that matters...
Obviously I'd be really happy if anyone could help me solve this!
Thanks!
Hope I'm not kicking an old issue here, but I've been combing through forums all afternoon and still haven't found a fix for this issue. Client brought a VZW Galaxy Nexus in with the "no signal" problem - he said it gets signal maybe once a week for a minute or two, then drops back off.
I'm not about to root the device and flash a new radio and/or ROM, as some people with this issue have already tried to no avail, and went thru the usual checklist of reboots, airplane on/off, etc. with no success. Anyone had any luck with this? Thanks.
