Hello Devs,
I'm getting my phone frozen too often...
I played a while with several Dev ROMs. The final conclusion for me is that this behavior happens only when it switches to gsm protocol.
I'm now using CM10.1 VJ 6.1 for a long time with zero freeze. This is possible when I force 3g connection using WCDMA.
I traveled to Tunisia where 2g is EDGE not gsm. The Freeze never occurs.
So that's why I think it's gsm protocol related.
Could someone help me on:
- getting my phone fixed (JIC)
- help me fix the issue on a ROM by looking to the code and building my own stuff
Thx in advance for any help.
Regards,

Try to replace the SD card, this will probably fix the problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1393132

Hi, I have a problem. I recently installed this ROM for the Motorola Defy, and the phone has no coverage. That is, no signal. And therefore I can not make calls or send text messages, anything that has to do with the mobile network. Any solution? I'm from Argentina and I have "Personal". Thanks in advance.
Look at the Defy Baseband app and choose the proper baseband for your area.
I did that, but still not working .
Hi,
This is weird. Wipe data/cache and reflash. Can you see and select your network?
I am not good at those network issues. Send us a logcat and the version of nightly you use, maybe it can give us some clues.

Thanks guys for the help, but when I returned to the stock ROM and everything works properly.

Number one, this is what happens to my Defy. I'm using also CM7 nightlies.
First, when I start the phone, signal is just ok, but after a few hours it drops the cell signal (otherwise phone seems to be on and running ok). Rebooting solves the problem again temporarily.
Anyone can help me in that?
EDIT: Just when I thought that last call would be asking here, I may have found a solution: I think the default app Defy Baseband Switch did the job, I had to change the baseband setting for my country. Sorry for hassling, but hope this will serve others if having the same problem
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?

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.

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...
Hey all, sometimes when my device loses service it does not reconnect until I reboot.
Does anyone have any idea what causes this? Or even a place to start looking?
Thanks in advance
To start looking the best way would be by putting information about your ROM, provider, radio version and maybe radio logcat or any other relevant information. As some are known to be causing issues with dropping connection. But also if you use search function and enter the same query you will see that this has been discussed million times and some suggested some ways to resolve the issue.
Good luck

All ICS and JB ROMs seem to use RIL 1.6 which might be the problem. I'm testing a self-compiled Evervolv ICS with the RIL from CM7.2 and some small (kernel) patches atm, no connection problems so far...
I have no 3G connection while in a phone call and in many cases while still maintaining a strong signal I have no data traffic. It is sporadic and happens on all ROMs from what I have found.
This has started since I unlocked my bootloader but even restoring my TA partition and reflashing stock 6.2.B.1.96 Jellybean has not solved the issue.
Any help is much appreciated.
