Amazing, Just Amazing!!! H TO 3G TO G maybe solved!!

I have just installed Evils Custom Barebone rom v5 on the dev bord for desire, its a rom build that has no sense, just helixlauncher2. Now before i installed this i had the stock rom running and that always kicked my network preference to G and if i set it to HSDPA only, i would get scratchy 3G/H... Since installing the bareback rom, which has no sense running at all, i am on 3g or h constantly, and when i load a web page it always kicks into H.
I must also add that after i rooted i also updated my radio (baseband) to the new one released, the asia update
This could mean that sense applications or sense itself is forcing our phones to 2G networks as preference, I know this idea is out of the box but its looking that way, especially in my case.

very good news! although it's most likely the radio update that has fixed the problem! (i had the issue with the HD2 and it was discovered that it was not the fault of the Sense services that the connection would drop)
please keep us updated as it can take a while for the connection to drop, it can stay stable for hours and then drop like crazy.
thanks for posting but do keep us updated!
thanks!

Its definatly not the radio update mate as i still had the problem straight after rooting and updating to the new radio..... The problem only was solved when i installed the custom barebone rom, i now have HSDPA on tap, instead of blank spells when i had wcdma only on previous to the custom rom.
I just added that if people want to replicate what i did, then they have the full picture
Plus constant 3 bars of 3g reception

well please do some further testing and report back! download a 50mb file while surfing the net and see if it drops
if it doesn't then there is a fault with Sense which HTC must fix.

ok gonna test now, also just made a phone call which was liquid! pure liquid!! No breaks or anything... I think we may be on to something here guys! something thats pretty big!
This rom is avoid of any sense, sense looking like what is killing our connections;(

Started to download 114mb nvidia graphics driver, whilst on 3 bars it was downloading very fast, then it dropped to two bars, and it hung, after downloading 2mb, then it popped back up to three bars, downloaded another 2mb and then dropped back down again to two bars. When surfing it always stays three bars. It looks like tmobile have put a cap on how much we can download in bursts.
Im still noticing 95 percent surfing on hsdpa improvment.
JD

also i think removing sense and all of its RAM burden helps the phone to make better and faster decision's. This could be whats happening here

Also reporting a better WIFI signal strength, wad usually one bar from my room, now is now a constant 2 bars on signal icon

Stock T-Mobile ROM, never had any issues?
This seems to happen with every new HTC release. Could it just be poor network performance?
Why do I never have issues? Live around Nottingham but work all over the UK, no problems with HSPA.

Ok, i unchecked under location, determine location by wifi towers.... Went to download that 114mb file again,
Worked 100 percent.
downloaded in just under 10 mins no hang))
so its solved!!

Paul some people are having intermittant G/3G/HSDPA
My problem was solved by not having Sense And with the CM Mod being uploaded as we speak i will see if its to draw with that as well.
But im definatly getting faster, always H speeds now, and the only thing i changed was the rom

i must be lucky i dont seem to have the issue

So if some people have it and others don't how can it be device and not network related?

It's OS and Network related.
There's an open bug on the android development site about it. I don't know all the ins and outs but the OS seems to have some difficulty re-acquiring dropped signals. So if your network has dodgy 3G coverage you're more likely to experience this.
I'm sure it's far more complicated than my explanation though and involves all kinds of fascinating intricacies regarding the type of 3G coverage and automatic switching between the different connections yadda yadda...

Yeah its pretty deep, all i know is it has been fantastic since Sense has been off my phone

Just to clarify here, switching rom and radio on your phone did not solve the issue as there was still a dropout, but what has fixed it is disabling the location, what do you mean location by wifi towers?

GSM - GNEX Signal Drop Solution - Working ROM,Radio,Kernel combos. POST HERE...

***EDIT*** I believe that I have found the solution to this issue (at least for me) by flashing the FuGuMod Kernel as advised to do by 2 users (jetrii and slyydrr) who advised me of this in the following thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487056 on pages 7 and 8 respectively.
This fix may NOT work for you but I can say that it has worked for me. Please see post #33 (and onward) in this thread.
I have painstakingly been trying to find a solution to this issue and it SEEMS as if I have FINALLY found one so if I have helped you in any way then I ask that you please press the "Thanks" button and please visit the thread above and say thanks to jetrii and slyydrr as well. I also recommend that if this works for you that you go to the FuGuMod thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1438417 and pay tribute to nikademus for his kernel!!! I know I sure have... Also... Make SURE that you flash the correct kernel version for your ROM ie: 4.0.3 ROM = 4.0.3 Kernel, etc...
Thanks...
Hi everyone,
I have decided to start a fresh thread here as I have seen (and replied to) many threads regarding people with the GSM version of the GNEX (like I have) that are suffering from random signal loss of both data and GSM services for apparently NO REASON.
If you are also experiencing these issues I ask that you please post them here so that they are easy to follow and I also ask for anyone with ANY answsers to please post them here as well. Also... Please post what firmware you are running and any steps you have tried to fix this issue be them a failure or a success. I have done the following...
I am currently on the FoxHound v1.0 AOSP 4.0.3 firmware and experience these random signal drops. I have flashed NUMEROUS radios / modems to try and fix this with no success. I had been told by someone that the issue MAY be a BUG in the 4.0.3 AOSP ROMS but I have a hard time believing this as some people do NOT experience these same issues while on 4.0.3 ROMS.
What did work was to flash to the Android Revolution 4.0.2 ROM and on this I do NOT experience these random drops which COULD mean that the problem DOES lie in the AOSP builds of 4.0.3 but again... I have a difficult time believing this but it could be true. Also... Stock firmware (4.0.1) for me here in Canada does not experience these random signal losses either.
This is very annoying as I want to run the 4.0.3 custom ROMS for their customization capabilities, etc but I cannot keep my device in a USABLE state when on 4.0.3 so I have to go back to my trusty SGSII.
Again, please post here to voice your concerns and opinions on this and perhaps SOMEONE will be able to find us a solution.
Thanks,

are you using your carrier supplied radio?

Yup. Im on UGKL1 which is the radio that shipped on my device. I have also tried other radios (XXKL1, UGKK7, XXKG6, etc) as I mentioned as well and I still experience the same issue and others have mentioned the same things as well with no successes.

There was this one time that I had lost signal randomly (while on stock unmodified out of the box ICS) but I was able to get it back with a factory reset. After that it never happened to me again.

Thanks for the comment. May I ask what Radio your device has on it? Are you running any sort of custom ROM now? If so, what are you running?

Right now the radio is KK6 (im on stock yakju 4.0.2 now) but at the time it was what came with the phone (shipped from Rogers)

Hmmmm... Interesting... You got an OTA update to 4.0.2? I have seen other posts that people here in Canada are complaining that they have not received ANY OTA updates at all... When did you get this?
Since I have been on a custom ROM I have not seen this update obviously...

I'm on GSM with Rogers as well. I haven't noticed any significant signal drops with the exception of my basement (no cell phones get signal there - its a fortress lol). I am on 4.0.3 as well. I have read that the 4.0.4 has improved radio... so it may be worth looking into. I saw a WIP 4.0.4 GSM Rom here.

I've been experiencing this as well. I'll have a great signal, then suddenly it totally disappears, and after a few seconds the signal comes back. It's even happened during voice calls as well. I experienced this on the stock device (4.0.1). I'm now using the GummyNex rom on 4.0.3 (w/ a stock radio), and I'm still experiencing these random signal loses. (T-mobile USA in NYC, btw).
It's not a constant problem, but it happens a few times a day. enough to be an mild annoyance.

Hmmmmm... I ONLY seem to get these signal drops on 4.0.3... Weird... You have a GSM device right? Not CDMA - LTE?

I found something new to try when I get home but if anyone may want to try it now and post your results it would be very helpful and appreciated.
This is a radio from the Japanese variant of the GNEX and most people who have tried it have had good success with it... See the link below...

I THINK I am experiencing this. My phone keeps going from H+ to 3G non stop at the top. How can you tell if your signal is being dropped? (sorry new to this) I've seen posts with a network screen? showing connection but I can't seem to find this.

Haven't had any issues as far as that. There were times when I was using the browser and it said network error but everything still worked.

You will notice because the signal bars icon will go "completely blank" and for example... If you are on your lockscreen and you can see the name of your provider...It will disappear completely for a couple of seconds and then come back...

No I guess I am not experiencing this. I'm not exactly sure what the difference between H+ and 3G is but my phone seems to stay in 3G until it transfers data, when its transferring data, it goes into H+, then back into 3G. Maybe this is normal. I was just curious because I did flash Yakju and the radios when i bought it.

Well, when I first flashed 4.0.1 yakju I got notifications of being able to upgrade it OTA. However, at the time I must of messed something up when I flashed it because the updates werent successful when I went to update it. So I got fed up with it and I flashed 4.0.2 manually via fastboot.

So I flashed this radio and I get SOMEWHAT better stability but it only accesses the EDGE network and NO 3G/H... Guess this is a no go too...

HD Rom, Latest build.
Radio - XXKK6
Had the stock radio with the HD Rom, and thought that my random lost connections on market were due to my not flashing the recommended radio. Flashed the recommended radio (current), and still experienced them. Signal is better, and oddly enough voice doesn't get lost. Phone doesn't show that there is no signal, in fact it is at 3 bars on H.
Edit: I use a regional carrier, that doesn't list APN settings. By leaving APN type blank, I seemed to have solved the problem. Also dramatically increased the signal strength (Using Network Signal app).

[Q] 3g radio issues on one V

Hi All,
Long time user, first time poster...I have a HTC one V which has always had issues with 3g networks. Sometimes it works perfectly and sometimes it just says error searching. If i leave it on 2G only it seems to be ok.
Anyway I finally rooted it and installed CM10 from here hoping the new sw and kernal would fix, but still same issue.
Is there a radio update I can do on One V or do I just need to consign this to the bin....as 2G only is a pain..
My lovely Nexus one (CM7) has had one too many knocks...hence I had to start using this recently, it was my unused official work phone owned from new and pretty much never used

you have tested with rom miui??

news???

[Q] HTC One X Internation + CyanogenMod 10.1 Wifi Issues

Hello All, I am facing an issue whereby my WiFi reception is nearly hopeless after I updated to CM10.1. Anybody got a fix for this?

Hi,
i am facing the same issue. My Wifi is nearly down to no connection althoug I am only 2meters away from my router. I tried installing a new Baseband-version (Endeavoru_Radio_5.1204.162.29) but still no change.
I have CyanogenMod 10.1 with Android 4.2.2 on my HTC One X.
Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks
JamFX1

Same Issue
I have exactly the same problem as the 2 of you. Have either of you manages to sort this out ?

I'm also having WiFi problems with my HTC One X (running CM10.2). I can connect to a network and after a minute or so the connection is dropped... Other forums suggest it's an HTC issue but since I'm running CM10.2 I suspect it's something else. Any pointers are appreciated.

Its not an HTC issue im sure of it. Too many people have this problem only with the Cyanogenmod. The stock rom has no issues. I tested. Im on the latest RC version and it also has that problem. Get more than 3 meters away from the router and BAM. no signal

[Q] Modem Signal Troubleshooting Help

All,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 from AT&T. I've recently flashed up to CM 11 (t0lte image nightly builds) using Clockwork (recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.3-t0lteatt.img). Since the flash, everything is working great for me except my mobile signal strength. The signal strength seems ok (-90 to -100 db) when the phone is just sitting idle, it seems to get mobile data fine and the wifi is also working acceptably. When I make or receive a phone call however, the signal immediately drops through the floor, and it can seldom stay connected for more than a minute or two on the call without dropping.
I've been trying to understand what I might have done that would have affected the modem hardware in this way, or to find a utility that will help me diagnose if the modem in the phone is dying or if it's a software issue. I've confirmed that things appear to be fine with the Network Signal Info app (which is quite nice btw) and with a friend who is also running CM 11 on his S3 with AT&T as well. We can stand side by side and see our network strength is nearly the same. Then he can dial my phone and we watch my signal tank while his appears to switch to HSPA+ and get better. I've compared the APN's and other mobile settings and they're identical as his S3. I've looked or modem roms to flash and try to "fix" the modem, but not really had a good feeling about the few that I've found. It's a problem, but I certainly don't want to make it worse.
Thanks so much to the Clockwork and CM teams for their hard work and the xda forums for all the great information! Any help would be greatly appreciated as it's making the phone functions basically unusable at this point.

I flashed up from the 4.3 stock update the AT&T (finally) rolled out. The device formerly said it was an SGH-I317 (AT&T Note 2). Now it says that it's a GT-N7105 but that seems to be normal for the t0lte CM images. I know normally you wouldn't want to flash to a different ROM than specifically is for your device, but I used t0lte because of this page:
