In many different custom ROMs I had an issue: the phone froze in random moments. When answering call, after the call, going away from 3G coverage, etc. I think I've found the reason and 'freeze logic'. The phone freezes on changes from 3G to 2G network (for example at handover during/after the call) on specific types of SD cards! When/if you have this problem, try changing your card to another one -- in my case it helped. 3 different custom ROMs, all freezing on 3G coverage loss, all working fine after SD card change.

So i rooted my phone over a week ago, and tried out many different roms. Everything was going fine, until i noticed yesterday that i kept losing voice and data connection. I tried updating to the latest radio which was out today 5.09.00.20, but still have the issue.
The only workaround i've found so far is to set the network mode to GSM only. But obviously it's not very practical for a phone like the desire. When i have it on GSM/WCDMA Auto, it keeps voice and data on for about a minute, then i lose it. And when it's on, i still can't make any calls. But i can make and receive calls fine on GSM only.
Anybody have a clue what's going on here? I tried calling T-Mobile, but they were as useless as always. Apparently there was an issue on the 29th, which is now resolved, and they refreshed something on my profile. So i dunno if rooting/flashing my Desire has caused this or if it's some network outage.
I'm currently running the latest DeFrost rom. I've tried SenseFroyo (Opendesire), LeeDroid & i'm now running the official 2.2 sense rom.
I've also been having problems when connected via 3G for the past few days, but only when I'm at home (so I think it's a specific cell). The signal indicator shows a good signal but attempting to use the internet over 3G just times out, and my voice calls keep getting dropped.
Like you I can work around the problems by switching to GSM only.
I think it might not be a problem with my phone though, because I've tried putting my SIM card in my Nokia N95 and the internet doesn't work over 3G on that either (internet works using GSM on N95). I did manage to make a call on my N95 when my Desire was dropping both incoming and outgoing calls within seconds though.
Weird! I'm going to give it a few days and report it to T-Mobile if it's still happening.
It's fixed for me now. I guess it was a network outage
My phone has suddenly developed a mind of its own. It has a lag and is dropping signal anytime i am in an area that has HSDPA. When it does that i can neither recieve or make calls, sometimes i can make calls to other networks but not mine, it works fine when the network is EDGE or GPRS. I have called my network and they have confirmed that the problem is not fom them. Tried my sim on other phones and it works ok. I have done a reset twice with no change. No recent installs of softwares, no impact, nothing at all. This is becoming frustrating!!! Can anyone help please cos i love this phone, its my[I]![/I]
I have a Desire, running with Cool's Images (Sensation v3...7, Cool3D AceS). Since some weeks the network connection through GSM and also 3G is very unreliable. Phone calls break up, the signal symbols shows a good signal but I can't make calls nor am I reachable, often enough the phone doesn't find any network, etc.. Sometimes it just works without any issue.
It all started when I was travelling to the US. But the issue remained when I was back in Germany. I even replaced the SIM card. Other phones with the same SIM card work without any problems. I tried Software Updates (see above). And I'm using the latest radio (32.56.00.32U 5.17.05.23).
Anybody out there with any idea? Thx a lot!!!
I have a strange issue with my HOX and i wonder if anyone can read something about that from my log. I've been having call dropping issue for a while now (seems to be on aosp only... sense roms work great). If i start a call and have data enabled I sometimes get an issue with signal dropping (No service). I never have that issue with data disabled. If i'm connected to a wifi network i don't have that issue. The issue is only there if I have data enabled and not connected to wifi network (either wifi off or out of range). I've been tring to understand what the problem is but I've had no luck (been searching for a solution for about a week... tried different settings... like "wcdma only" but the problem is still there)
The problem doesn't always arise but still pretty often... It happens often on some roms and not very often on other roms (I've only had this issue twice on cm11 but get it almost every other call on SlimKat). I've attached a logcat from SlimKat while outgoing call dropps signal. Hope any of you can shed a light on my issue. I looks like a hardware problem but i don't understand why it works on sense roms.
Edit: I first had this issue after I OTA'd to 4.18.401.2 (with new hboot 1.72). It's a shame HTC denies us s-off. Otherwise i would just go back to hboot 1.39 but i'm hoping i can somehow fix this because I really love AOSP roms and i really don't like Sense.
Edit2: This only happens on outgoing calls. Never on incoming calls.
Edit3:Took out the sim card. Polished it a bit. Put sim card back. Now in 10 test calls i never had signal dropping. I cut the sim card myself and now i guess it's time to go and get a proper microsim.
Edit4:Still had a signal drop on outgoing call.
Will report back after i get a new sim...
I tested the HOX with another sim card from another carrier. No problems whatsoever. I tried my sim card in an iPhone 4 and it worked without any issues. As soon as I put my sim card back in my hox and place a call I get "out of service" (with data active and wifi disabled). I just don't understand. Everything works great with data off or if I'm connected to a wifi. I really don't want to change my carrier (it's just so cheap )
BTW the sim card is not very old. Maybe a year max (although i did cut it to size myself but I've done that dozens of times for myself and my friends and have had no issues)
Anybody got any ideas? (haven't tested with different sim card from my carrier.. will test as soon i get a chance)
Today I received my 2nd sim card. Both of my cards are using the same network, both are capable of LTE, but they are from different carriers. My problem is that the data sim switches to 2g way too often and stays there. I can manually switch from 4g to 3g in the options, which solves the problem temporarily. After a few minutes, it may just switch to 2g again.
I am not sure if this problem is related to using dual sim, but I am pretty confident the times I used my older card for mobile data, thus not connecting to my Wifi, this was not the case. Currently, with both sims inserted into the phone, they behave the same if I switch data service around.
Is this a common issue?
