Inconsistent or no 3G - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

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.

Major radio issues; Cannot or can hardly connect to non-Wifi internet anymore

Hello,
I’m currently having major issues with the radio I flashed. I installed Virtuous Sense 2.0.0 with Unity V4 yesterday and flashed it with the recommended radio; 26.04.02.17.
It seemed to work fine, WiFi worked and I can send/receive texts and make calls.
However, today I noticed I was unable to surf the web on my mobile data plan. A reboot didn’t help either. I also noticed that the icon was showing 3g in an area which I know doesn’t have 3g. So I rebooted again and this time I could surf the web, but very very slowly. It took 5 minutes to open the maket.
Anyway, I flashed my old, original radio back (26.03.02.26) and the problem still remained.
As a last resort I flashed the newest radio (26.10.04.03) and the problems still remain.
I also tried reflashing the stock ROM, but that didn’t make a difference either, as well as the advanced kernel from virtuous.
I’m lost. Any help would be appreciated !
Thanks !
Sorry, but this is a prime example why flashing radios isn't needed unless you are having issues related to radio functionality.
Have you tried calling your service provider and ask them if they are having issues with data or provisioning?

I totally agree and I have learned from this. What's odd is that reflashing the original, working radio now doesn't seem to work anymore either.
I didn't call them, but a friend of mine who lives in my neighberhood who has the same service provider, doesn't have any issues.
Thanks

I would still call them and see if your device/sim is provisioned correctly.

I reflashed my old, original radio and this time I did not match RILs and all seems to be working as usual again.
Thanks for the input !

[Q] Problem with CyanogenMod 7 coverage

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16654035&postcount=10096
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

wifi problem :(

i have trouble with wifi connection. my phone was very near from wifi moderm but when i watched youtube or connected internet in short time ( about 10 mins ) then my phone lost connection to moderm and notification of connection was " out of range ". Someone can tell me why and how to fix, and if i up my phone to .587, is the proble will be fix ?
sorry for my wrong english and thanks everyone can help me
Have you tried to reboot your phone ? Device has the ability to adjust it antenna power depending on signal strength, and by being to close to access point it may gone in a very low antenna power.
You should consider upgrading you Baseband .

I gave similar problem with my phone on the same firmware. WiFi just goes off and comes back on by it self. It's really annoying issue and if you guys now how to fix it I would appreciate it. I just switched to Arc S few days ago from Galaxy S and still finding my way around this forum so any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

it's common bug among a lot of arc s users apparently either rebooting your phone or turning off and on the wifi will probably get rid of the issue
Hmm, i think only my phone has this problem, when everytime it was out of connection range, i had to restart the moderm and then my phone was connected wifi as usual. May be i will try to up the phone to .587 but i will lose many modification as toggle,... So is there any way to up firmware without losing modification

You can also try to flash a different baseband. It helped my WiFi range on my LT15i improve slightly so that I can now hold on to a steady signal in locations of the house where I couldn't before on the stock baseband.

AFAIK baseband has nothing to do with wifi.

will systemui.apk of 431 work on 587?

[Q] Problems with Mobile internet

I am facing a very peculiar issue that makes my mobile internet dysfunctional. Whenever I switch from 2G/3G to WiFi and then switch back to 2G/3G from WiFi, the internet refuses to work unless I restart my phone. Once, the phone is restarted, it works like a charm again till the time I switch to WiFi again. Sometimes though, 2G/3G would not work even if I do not switch to WiFi. Also, rarely, it still may work even as I switch back from WiFi to 2G/3G. This issue has plagued me since a long time and is sometimes accompanied by call drops.
I took my phone to a Samsung Service centre but it wasn't of any use. They do nothing except reflashing the stock rom. It did fix the problem for a while but in an hour or in a day(or in some random time duration) the problem resurfaced. I took my phone to the service centre, just to get this problem fixed. I have tried switching between different modes in settings: GSM/WCDMA/auto etc
I also tried contacting my mobile carrier and got my sim card changed. Therefore, the mobile carrier is not at fault (Internet works flawlessly after I restart, remember?). How do I fix this? It is really irritating to restart the phone every time I need to use the internet. Please help! :-/
Maybe try flashing a different modem. I had various data and call issues on my i9300. After flashing 10 or so different modems I found one from aveuropean carrier worked best. Im in the uk btw

Thanks for replying thedadio!
But I've never flashed a modem before and have no clue which one to choose. Is it same as flashing a custom rom? Also, can I brick my device while flashing modems?
Yes its similar to flashing custom ROM. What ROM are you on and what modem are you on?
McLaren__F1, I am on stock 4.1.2. Also, I just tried flashing DDALJ1 modem (As I'm from India) and Perseus kernel. None of these steps helped me in any way. Still the same issues. :-/
Which is your network provider? I had the similar problems when I was on docomo..nw ported to airtel nd problem solved.
Btw did you try some other np's sim?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
I am currently using Airtel (Prepaid). I haven't tried using any other np's sim though..
I have the exact same problem. I am with optus Australia. I tried different modems, different ROMs but all have the same problem. I have sent mine away to be replaced and am still waiting for the new one. Very frustrating problem.

I'm not sure if they'll replace mine. It has been almost 6 months since I bought it..
How do I solve this? Any clue anyone? :|
My Note2 does this sometimes & only fix is a restart.
try soft format may its helpful
Not a fix, but toggling airplane mode on and off does the job for me.
Interestingly this happens to me only when leaving one particular WiFi access point.

i got exatly same proplem, 3g not working after leaving wifi of my workplace, but when im home i have no proplems if i decide leave my home network.
could it be related to radio type wifi has?? my workplace still using old hardware with radiotype of .g and leaving that network "kills" mobile network and i need to reboot phone, but my home network is .n and im not having proplems after leaving it. if its related to wifis radiotype it should be easy for someone to write script which reboot mobile network after leaving those wifi networks.

Doesn't work for me. This problem is strange. :-/
No one has a solution for this problem on XDA?
Did you use the NFC to scan anything by any chance? I don't know if it could be related but my phone started to have issues around the same time I bought some NFC tags and started programming and scanning them.
I still haven't got my replacement phone back yet. But I'll let you know if it still has issues in my problem spots. Than we'll know if the problem was with the phone or just this model.

Nope! I haven't used NFC at all.
Ohh, okay..Eagerly waiting for your response! *Fingers crossed*
Tested replacement phone today and the problem seems to be gone. The signal was actually stronger than all my previous phones.
This issue could be a hardware problem as from what I have searched on the net it seams to affect only a few people. I just hope if I root the phone the problems don't come back.
Maybe you could try send it away for repair if they won't replace it.

Looks like I spoke too soon. The issues are still there. While waiting for my replacement phone I was using an old HTC wildfire and had no issues with the data connection so it must be an issue with this model.

My desire Freezing due to 2g

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
