Hello,
I bought my HTC One V in January this year and a few month back I bought an iPhone 4 and gave my HTC to my dad. It was running MyOne without any problems until recently when emails/facebook wasn't syncing or giving notifications. I decided to just flash Sprongle on (He owns a Nexus 7 so I thought he'd appreciate the similar UI etc), but after I turn the wi-fi off the problem returns. I get a 'No Internet Connection' where the mobile network name should be when I pull down the notification drawer.
I have the correct kernel flashed so that can't be the problem so I'm pretty stumped. I've tried a few SIM cards, one of which had the same problem and one worked fine. (The one that worked fine is on the same network as the original SIM- Virgin Mobile).
Any ideas?
Thanks
Curtis
Is your phone CDMA (primoc)? Shpongle is for gsm (primou)

My device is a GSM PrimoU. I think it may be a problem with his network, but I'm not 100% sure.
Thanks for the reply.
I had problem before but somehow is not about network, but hov's circuit board is broken.

Guys this is my last attempt at trying to find the problem with my DHD before sending it to the repair shop—and by repair shop I don't mean an official HTC Reseller which is not available in my country!
Here's what I've been facing for the past month:
Without any warnings, my phone started making weird noises
(interferance sound, as if the signal is very poor) during every phone-call, and dropping the call 1 out of 3 times, when connected to the 3G network. ([Edit] Even when I get 4 bars of 3G reception)
If I set my phone to GSM only mode, the issue disappears.
Also during browsing (or any internet use) the signal keeps switching from 3G & H and by doing so the data connection is EXTREMELY slow(and sometimes non-working).
After trying multiple radios(with their ril's) and different ROMs.. and finally switching to a stock rom(and radio), as well as trying other sim-cards/different network, and still having the same issue over the 3G network; I'm starting to believe it is a hardware issue.
Before I send it to the repair shop (and risk getting back awkwardly put-back phone) I thought I'd try one last time here..
Any advise is greatly appreciated..
Looks like a hardware problem. Does everything work fine with wifi?

Nothing wrong with your DHD. It's your provider. The area wherevyou live is probably not well covered with 3G since you said you have no issues switching to GSM. If you don't have any WiFi issues then it's not a privlem with the phone or the ROM. It's bad 3G coverage regardless of the provider

Everything works perfectly--including WIFI--except 3G.
I really hope it isn't a hardware thing, but now I'm 90% sure it is!
I took the phone to the only official reseller of HTC phones in Lebanon.
They told me they'd rather not open the phone up since they've had bad experiences doing so before.
They said issues with the touchscreen usually surface after reassembly.
After googling it seems the gsm antenna is in the sim cover; septate from the 3G one (which i couldn't find any pictures of where it is in the phone)

1. Don't panic.
2. As I explained before, I'm 99% sure it has nothing to do with hardware. Do you know someone with the same or similar issue?

I've tried different locations :/
As i said before, also prior to all that, it was working fine..
I tried my Sim card on a different phone and it works just fine.
I tried a different SIM (same and different providers) the problem persisted.
Still, i really hope u're right!

Hi guys,
After weeks of waiting, i finally got my HTC One x today.
But there is a problem.
When i put my Sim Card in , I get around 2 Bars of signal, and then it goes away and the cross comes over the bars, then the phone says ' Preparing Sim ... ' , then the 2bars appear again, then they go away and the the phone says ' Preparing Sim ... ' , and on and on and on and on again!
I am extremely sad and dissapointed. was really looking forward to this phone.
Can anyone help with this issue?
P.s. the phone is stock and untouched.

even i am having the signal problem when compared to my other phones. Nexus sits on full signal and One X keeps moving between 1 bar and 5 bars when holding in hand..have checked the display phone in my local shop which is also behaving same....do all of you have this problem?
I had problems with a cut mini-sim. Got it replaced with a proper micro sim and all is fine.
M.
For the people who have cut there SIM card, make shure you are using the new generation SIM card. Cutting a old generation one can bring issues!
That's weird. My one x is getting signal where my sensation had none!

Woke up today, no signal and sim couldn't be found.
Was fine last night.
Either T-Mobile deactivated it because they have sent me a new micro sim, the phone is a dud or somehow the cut sim decided to break itself over night somehow.
If the new sim doesn't fix the problem, the phone is going back and ill just buy something crappy to tie me over till GS III.
It has good wifi reception, I'm getting signal in places where I'd have to wave my hands around in the air before. But the gsm signal is really annoying me
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
none of you have my problem . My is faulty. no reception at all.
Mine jumps from H 3 bars to G (gsm), back and forth. Very sketchy signal.
Using a new micro sim I received today.
Hmm.. I'm using a cutted SIM and it didn't show any problem. Instead, I am getting signal at dead spots compared to my DHD in the past. Weird..
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Got a microSIM sent out by my provider. Works fine. I'm getting even better 3G reception than with my Desire S. Sounds like a faulty sim to me.

Strange behaviour you guys are having there. My signal strength on the same telco has been improving switching fr DHD to HOX. Some places with weak signal reception those day in DHD (with 1 or 2 bars) now I could get 3 bars.
Most of the users in my region do not faced such issue, we are seen the coverage is jumping fr H to 3G back and forth rapidly, which we believe is due to service upgrade (cos have been notice such behaviour even in DHD)

I have exactly the same issue with you.
Actually this is my 2nd OneX, the previous one has "yellowish display", but there was no signal reception problem.
After replacement, I found the new one has the same problem described by you. It changes between 3G<->H quite oftern, and I found that mobile radio goes off very often, but then it's showing me "preparing SIM..." and signal comes back again!! Since my SIM on the previous OneX has no issue (at least I used it for 4 days already without this problem), so I don't believe my SIM is the root cause (and mine was the official micro SIM from telecom).

Yes, I agree that for some location that normal phone doesn't have any reception signal, OneX does have signal. And it also changes from 3G<->H quite frequently.

I'm having this issue too. It seems when the phone is trying to talk on 3G instead of H, it doesn't work. So, everytime the signal switches to 3G, I lose data. I still haven't been able to run a successful Speedtest.NET test on the phone.
Anyone have any ideas?
Also gave my HTC One back to supplier. Signal issue became so bad that i had almost no signal.
I found that when i was in a building my signal disappeared. Hold your device upside down and you get better reception. Also made a benchmark test when I got the phone and it score 4700+
when the signal issue started i did a test again and it only scored +/- 3700. Must be hardware. I tried Hard resets and nothing....
Going to be a long wait as I'm in Namibia in Africa and phone was ordered in UK. But overall just an awesome phone !!!
not sure why this is happening im using boot image 6.2 and android revolution 6.3.1 baseband radio 2.1204.127.19 and when I come back to my phone the data connection is gone, I have to reboot to get it back
what the heck is going on ?
Are you with three mobile? I had this issue on all roms but today I have fixed this by getting a home signal box so far I've had 5 bars signal constantly and no dropouts no missed calls i would advise getting one but its home only so problem will most likely happen when out and about

well i have a micro sim from my network and i dont think its that though
I've got the same problem on all ROMs I've tried so far, I'm on Talk Mobile (Uses the Vodaphone network)
Firstly i would like to apologize if this issue has been treated before but i think i read into the 12th page and nothing yet... i got an htc desire hd a week ago and as at when i got it it was still locked, i didnt see an H sign or a 3g sign and i used it for 4 days before rooting it, i also tried custom roms and flashed my radio, i tried factory reset too and i also made sure my apn settings were correct, i tried switching to airplane mode from the suggestions i got here and i even tried switching to 3G only but it only shows me the bars with an 'X' sign showing that there isnt any signal, while i can still get an H on another HTC very close to it. please if there is anything i didnt do can anyone suggest it to me...any suggestion would be appreciated...sorry if this post offends anyone...if i had known better i wouldn't have put it up.
Is this desire hd or inspire 4g? Both support 3g on different bandwidth? Where are u from? Check with your service provider about the network bandwidth on whic 3g runs.
Thanks doesn't hurt....
It's an inspire 4g...thanks. I checked with with 2 Sims and 2 different providers and still the same thing

I think u need to enable data first. Even u force the network to select 3g, it will not show up in the network bar with data disabled.
Setting > data usage > turn on mobile data. This method is for cm10.1 so use your own discretion on another type of roms.

Inspire 4G was sold in the USA and the international model was the Desire HD. Check if the frequency bands match for USA and the country where you're trying to use the phone. That should give a clue as to why 3g is not being picked up.

And there is nothing I can do about it if the bandwidths differ

Nope.. The Inspire 4G works on below bandwidths
GSM : 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
HSDPA : 850/1900 MHz
While desire hd on 2100 MHz for 3g.

Was the phone brand new or used?
have tried using SIM from different operator, if you are on 3G try selecting 2G only.
if everything with software fails then it is hardware
may be signal pins are not making proper contacts
