Most of the callers complain that my number is switched off but I never power off my handset. I tried with another number and observed the same while my HTC Desire was in front of me and powered on. this is continuing for over 24 hours now and is very disappointing. At times it do connects but most of the time not.
Do you have 3g on? Are you on T-Mobile?
3G is off and I'm currently not in England and using an un-locked device.
I had this problem, it was saying the number was not available. I called T mobile and they did something to see if there was a problem with the routing when they ported my number, not had this problem since...
Problems seems to be while mail is being fetched through a data connection. The problem was also reported with windows mobile (older versions) where data seesion was not suspended during an incoming call. I dont know how to do any tweaking for this on an android OS.
is there any tweaking possible on Android phones like registry editing on windows mobile phones

Android is not based on a registry system (not like Windows, and Windows mobile) Android is based on Linux kernel, which uses files system.
regarding the off/on... is your reception low or fluctuating? maybe its just that the reception is very low, how many reception bars you get
i have full bars. I was using HTC Touch Pro2 earlier at the same location for at least 10 months now. Had no issues with network. Got my HTC desire 3 days ago and have this problem ever since.
Had similar on mine. Could make calls, but no one could call me without getting various error messages.
T-Mobile sent a reset / update to the sim card and it has been fine since.
try shocking the phone...
just remove the battery without shutting down.
if that doesn't help try doing this during a call.
failing that try it again but this time, after removing the battery, remove the sim, power up. kill it buy pulling battery and then power back on.

Did everything but nothing helped. But thanks anyway.
Any other suggestions?
Hi,
obviously I am new to this forum (yes, I admit it, I had an iPhone 4 until recently ). I read a lot of threads here and managed to root two HTC Desire Z phones thanks to the many helpful infos here! I even had to debrand the 2nd Desire Z, because it was a Vodafone branded phone, using a Goldcard, which worked like a charm.
Now everything seems to be fine so far, except some little occasional hickups:
One is, that my battery seems to drain pretty fast when I am downloading something over my Home-WiFi. It can go down over 40% within two hours.
The second is, that every now and then, the phones do not find my WiFi broadcast automatically. I have to go into settings, access points and then manually select the WiFi and hit confirm on the next screen popup showing the MAC-address amongst other things. Most of the times all I need to do is switch my phone on to get the connection. But sometimes it just doesn't...
Both phones are running the Virtuous v2.0.0 (Vision), which is based on the latest 2.42.405.2 release from HTC.
In addition I manually flashed the radio to 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M using the image from this thread, since it still had the really old radio (26.03.02.26_M) from the downgrade process to the 1.34 firmware installed and this radio seemed to be the one officially released by HTC in connection with the latest 2.42.405.2 firmware.
So now I am wondering if this was the right choice.
I've run across threads claiming the .30 radio (and probably another radio starting with 26.08 or so ?) would be a good combination with the Virtuous v2.0.0. But I am wondering why one should use an older radio. And I don't want to try out many different radios for the next days, so I am hoping, that maybe somebody here has already gone through that process or can at least elaborate on their experiences with the radio they are using.
Maybe someone can also shed some light onto the question, if I should also align my RIL as discussed in this thread.
Thanx in advance!!!

Really? Noone? No recommendations from the experts or opinions from happy or disappointed ROM and Radio user?
The radio depends on your location. Best to ask someone from your country about the better radio to use.
as for me, i do not like the new radio, as the data connection is sluggish, as compared to the older ones.
The best radio to use would be the one that was RELEASED with the rom. The one that ends in .03.
The data connection is definitely different with the .03, because before my phone usually showed 3G on a regular basis and switched to H only when I caused some data transfer (e.g. browsing or requesting data through a Widget). Now my phone constantly displays an H (unless I am in a G only region of course).
Question: did they just change the way the connection is displayed or did they also change the switching between regular 3G and HSDPA? I think I read somewhere that the switching preserved battery in the long run, because maintaining an H connection requires more power than a simpler 3G connection. Does anyone know something about that?
Hi,
first of all: I am also using Virtuous v2.0.0 (Vision) in combination with the latest radio (26.10.04.03) on my DZ.

I also have to manually disable/enable my wifi to connect to any network, but only after a reboot. Since I do not reboot frequently I do not care.
In general the 26.10.04.03 radio works best for me (in Germany) - I have good coverage and a stable 3G connection. My battery is also fine with this radio. But as it was said previously YMMV.
Are you using any software which could interfere with the wifi state? For example I am using "UnlockAtHome" which for some reason tries to put the Wifi to sleep when you are not connected to a whitelisted network and the screen is turned off - something like this could cause wifi connection drops.
So my mother still has the hardware version of 0004
she has done all the OTA updates unfortunately which I strictly told her not to do.
Currently the issue she has is:
-3G and 4G Do not work. once they are in sleep mode
-Because of the above, Weather does not work.
-Her WIFI also is very intermittent. I use a dual band Wireless N Belkin N900 Router. Even her old laptop can find it outside my house and the phone can't
-Calling gives error code or dials and hands at dialing or she clicks dial and it FC's
-texting either got through multiple times or it errors 37, 92, 103, 107. All class 2
The only way to fully correct them TEMPORARILY is to RESET TO FACTORY.
We did PRL, Profile updates and nothing worked.
She is on Stock UNROOTED 2.3.5 HBOOT 2.18.0001
I don't want to root her phone if it can be avoided. Im going to call sprint to see if they'll force the upgrade date to sooner to help get a new phone.
ANY help please! What can be done???
Anyone?

A few problems with 2.17 / 4.0.4
After i installed the update 2.17 i notice that my wifi is even worse. I have i good connection with my Dynalink D635 router. So i don't think it is a hardware problem. But wifi works just sometimes. It was the same with 1.29, but al lot beter Now i loses his connection and than it come back, but mostly there is no data-stream at all.
Also the GPS is not working fine anymore. Lost connection a the time. It was working fine with 1.29 .....
The radio (connection with G/3G/H) is also worse. And sometimes he lose my sim-card and even goes into flight-mode??
HTC, i dont know what you are doing over there, but i have to say that this product is absolutly not what i suspected. I waited for the 2.17 to give the product a second chance, but it is even worse
Basic question. Still, have you backed up and tried Factory restore?
recently my phone doesn't read the SIM after a few hours of use. Says there's no SIM.

CUSTOM ROMMERS
Just ensure you have installed the rom correctly, aswell as flashing the right boot.img for 2.17.401.2, then although it seems like a pointless task, please do well to include the command 'fastboot erase cache' before AND after the flash of the boot.img, just to be sure we don't have any kernel bits left behind. You could also go the extra mile and clear the dalvik cache in your custom recovery...
STOCK ROMMERS
You should ensure that your update was successful (check this in settings > about > software information) If the software version is 2.17.XXX.X
Then the update was successful, just double check your radio/baseband is what its supposed to be which is 2.1204.135.20 (i think)

I have a good question: Did you drop the phone recently or otherwise do anything to push the phone case down? It sounds like you crushed all the antenna contacts or your case just isn't seated right.
SIM losing contact would suggest that the SIM pins aren't fitted snugly against the SIM. You can either put tape on the sim to get to to fit more snugly or send it in for warranty repair.

I did not drop the phone, or did something strange with it. The only thing i want from a device that costs € 500,00 is that everything is does work.
I've have experienced a drop in mobile network signal after the 2.17 update. Haven't tested GPS but WiFi seems alright. I have not dropped the phone nor done anything unusual to it, just updated. Before, I had 5 bars/full signal all the time, and when I checked battery stats the network signal indicator throughout the day was green. Now, after the update the indicator is yellow and I have around 1-3 bars if signal.
Also, I'm in Denmark so I got the 1.29.xxx.12 update which was supposed to optimize signal strength. So right now I hope they are working on a similar fix.

The Custom ROMMERS part worked for me.
I had the same Problem. Just checked after a half hour and it still works.
Just try this method
Dear all,
I was using the Lee-droid rom. I switched to insert coin rom 9.xx and even tried the android revolution rom. In both I had the same problem. Using wifi I have almost no data although the signal is strong. It just keeps trying to synchronize like for hours. But for some reason whatsapp conncection works and no problems there, but when it comes to loading the play store it takes ages (5 min. plus). I already searched the internet for solutions but haven't found one. When I use my providers internet, it also just keeps trying to synch (and for some reason never seems to complete??) internet is also really slow and it used to be faster on mobile as wel as wifi. Is anyone else experiencing this?
I am really desperate to get this working, I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Edit: Confirmed that wifi does drop out sometimes and cant seems to get a signal although im standing right next to the router. But when I have wifi, I have a great connection, but almost no data, only whatsapp seems to work.
I can also confirm taht after the 2.17xxx update wifi is droping a lot. Didn't had that problem on 1.29. Also there are other issues but it will probably be best if I open a new thread or someone else does that, just for the sake that htc will read it and make our phones better

To me, your issues sound like radio related issued, although I could be wrong. You both on custom roms? With custom recoveries? I suggest if 1.29 worked better signal wise that you flash that radio in your custom recovery. That might improve your signal. Its basically different for everyone which radios work the best so basically it's trial and error.
Lemme know how you get on :thumbup:

I'm not sure if it's the same problem but i've been having a strange issue for a while. I believe is started when I began using jellybean roms (Not 100% sure). My phone will work for a day or two with no issues and then I just suddenly lose my gsm/3g connection. Numerous restarts later and if still doesn't work. Can't use it as a phone at all. If I reflash or change the rom, my connection works again for a few days and then then same thing happens. I'm having to reinstall roms every few days to have a working phone. I did have the pogo battery cover on for most of that time. Last time it happened, I removed the cover and I suddenly had a connection. I've left it off since, hoping it was just that but sadly not. Happened again to me just now

Hi, have you flashed any different radios? What's your current software version and does your Wifi drop as well? Or is it just mobile data?
After the 2.17 OTA update, the signal is always medium...but now there r no call drops or loss in signal

I got my 2.17 OTA update last night, immedietly after the update my wifi signal was dropping, which was pretty stable 3 bars before that.
Today morning im getting dropped gsm signal...sometimes its showing no signal...eve a manual signal search gets me no network, omly airplane mode on/off gets the signal back.
I m not unlocked and not rooted...just plain factory stock.
should i unlock it and flash the radio from the 1.29 rom ??

That's up to you, but many users have experienced that some radios work better for different people. 2.17 works ok for me, maybe you should try.

Hey There,
I've just installed this fine ROM today, and it seems great,
but for some reason, the wifi reception is BAD now.
It works fine if I seat near my router, but if I move 3 meters away
it looses the connection ... and says the reception is POOR.
Any1 else has this problem?
Which version of CM10 did you flash, if it's anything older than beta 1 try flashing Beta 1 ? if you still have problems after Beta1
Try flashing a different kernel and see if that resolves your problem. (if i can spare you some time, try faux123's kernel)

And then if you still have problems.
Try running the Viper ROM 2.6.0 with the Butter hacks runs very smooth.

I flashed the "[08-09] [ROM] CyanogenMod 10 - Endeavor Unleashed" rom.
I don't think this is the same cm10 everyone's using.
and I don't really understand, doesn't the Kernal comes with the rom?
Can I change it without changing a rom ?

But on the stock rom WIFI was ok.
Update: Ok I did the "Squeeze" test. Wifi is great whn I squeeze
So it is a hardware problem?? How it only started after I put CM10?
Have you reinstalled the stock rom since you have the problem?
I don't know if CM10 is the cause, or it's a coincidence..
there's an UNOFFICIAL release at the moment which may fix some issues, though I've not noticed anything and I've had every release since A10 installed, so it could be a hardware issue.
I'm on the newest build of cm10 and my WiFi network is fine. I can from leedroid and so far just the same. I do have a tiny bit of earphone cable between my back and hard case which gives me my full bar due to the hardware fault.
Couldnt be bothered sending it back. So this works. Bit did recorded it with HTC so they know I have the fault.

But if you use Cm10 without that little earphone cable, the wifi won't work good?
BTW, what does htc support ask to fix the problem? Do they care you rooted and unlocked the device?
The cable is about 3mm in lengh and as i have a hard case, its enough to compress the connection inside the phone where the fault is.
Htc would of course fix it, but whats the point if the phone is working and its not noticeable.
I would have had to relock bootloader and go back on stock rom.

Do you think HTC will be "understanding" and fix the wifi issue even with a custom rom?
(they'll know anyway that I opened bootloader)
Try flash the Rom with the stock kernel, that will surely solve the WiFi problem.

Did you not do a backup before installing custom rom. Im positive that even if you relock the bootloader they can see that if they went in to recovery. But unlikely. So if you flash stock rom and re lock bootloader, remove root you should be fine

Hi, try using tbaldens CM10. It can be found under HTC ONE X ORIGINAL ANDROID DEVELOPMENT. I found this to be the best CM10
I have been chasing this problem ever since installing CM10 on my Evo 4g LTE. I was getting 4 times the wifi distance on the stock rom. I go about 30 ft. outside the office and wifi drops. Also, what is the most annoying... I stream over our LAN, and when the screen is off, it turns wifi off after a few minutes. (and yes, the check box is checked to keep wifi alive). I've also tried all of the wifi fix apps and none work. If I leave the screen on and stream........ it is good anywhere from 1/2 hour to an hour, then it will just stop. This kills my battery of course. The problem 1st occured when I first bought my OEM 4g lte, but there was an option in the advanced menu "best wifi performance", after checking that, it worked great, then I switched to CM10 and I now have the wifi issue, and there is no option for "best wifi performance". I've tried a couple other jellybean roms and they have the issue as well. This is driving me nuts. I hope someone finds a solution. I don't think the average person would find this as a problem, but when I stream over the net and move all about the shop, it is unacceptable.
I faced the same issue but not on any other ROM. It was specifically with Cyanogenmod 10. I was upset because it gave me the best results but the wifi result was really poor.
However, since I work with wireless networks often, I decided to explore Cyanogenmod's wifi settings. I noticed that if you go in the Advanced Wifi functions (which you can find in the Wifi options menu) you will notice that there is an option called "Wi-Fi Region Code".
Apparently, this option allows you to select the frequency bands your device can operate and is subject to the different world regions. It is quite possible that your Access Point follows the regulatory body of your country and you should know which frequency bands they allow the AP to operate. Due to this it may be just that the Cyanogenmod, by default, put you in a different regulatory domain and limits your frequency band to a subset offered by the AP. Hence, this effectively limits your wifi reach even if you are sitting right next to the AP.
I chose "Japan" since I remembered that their regulatory domain allowed for quite a large subset of frequencies that are allowed on the WIFI spectrum. This immediately increased my received signal strength and I did not have any problem since.
I suggest you play with this, it is likely that your android device will start functioning correctly. However, if you are facing this limited frequency issue on more than one device and that too running different operating systems and different wifi hardware...chances are that your wifi router is malfunctioning. In that case, replacement or repair of the Access point is the best alternative.
Good luck. I hope this solves your problem.
