Hi guys,
my gf is using a Wildfire, i'm constantly having problems of reaching her. 3g works fine and KIK or Whatsapp is great. But when i try to call her, her phone sometimes does not even ring and she gets a message that she had a missed call.
It's not a carrier problem (i think...) we have the same one and i never had such problems.
Then what usually helps is when she puts her phone to airplane mode and then back to normal, then i can reach her.
I've tried many different ROMs and no change, from CM to hybrids etc..
The only thing i have not tried is a completely stock ROM.
Any ideas on what might be the problem?
EDIT: it's not just a problem with me, other people from other carriers also sometimes have problems reaching her, and sometimes everything is fine
and also, when she calls me, and i reject the call and then after a minute try to reach her back, it's almost certain that i will not be able to get to her
then i send her a KIK to go to airplane mode and back...
anyone?
if You have try changing the ROM maybe its a hardware problem. You can try updating the Radio (no the FM radio, radio is the software that connects the hardware with the software for making calls and 3g connection)... http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Wildfire:_Support_Downloads ...3.35.20.10 its the last one, update by flashing in the recovery, you also need first to go to ROM Manager and flash an older recovery (2.5.4, 2x) ClockWorkMod 3x or 4x or 5x dont flash radios...
Hi,
First post, feels like I'm a little late to the party. I have a gio which initially had gingerbread 2.3.3. The phone is unlocked, and rooted, and has the clock work mod recovery patch on it. I have tried a couple of different versions of gingerbread, and am now running ice cream sandwich: kernel 2.6.35-7-galaxyics, CyanogenMod version build 9-20120610-UNOFFICIAL-gio, build number IMM76L.
Firmware-wise, it's mostly good, but I'm having a couple of weird issues:
1. The screen goes black on me periodically, and won't come back without pushing the on/off button. This is happening every 30 to 60 seconds of use.
2. The wifi crashes, a lot. With the older gingerbread I would get the word "error" under wifi in settings, and couldn't turn it back on. I would enter *#*#526#*#* to bring it back, but every 5 minutes seems a little excessive.
With the newer ICS, I've noticed I can play on a wifi link all day long without issue, but as soon as I set the phone down for a couple of minutes, wifi stops working. If I go into settings, wifi is on, but there's no connection. If I turn wifi off and back on, it comes back to life.
I guess, I'm wondering if these indicate more of a hardware issue than a software issue. It's hard to ask for support from my carrier, given I'm using an unlocked phone bought from a 3rd party, and have no contract.

I got that problem to sometime ,
And welcome !
send from my galaxy gio with paranoidAndroid Rom
Errors that you describe has a lot of people
The team is now working on ICS AOSP so be patient wait a little meringue as soon
And yet you propose to install something else that any CM
In total there is this quite a bit
update
A couple of things I've noticed:
1. The resetting wifi problem does not happen when the phone is plugged into USB.
2. The screen turning off happens frequently, but about 1/2 of the time, the screen will turn off for 1-2 seconds, then come back on at full brightness; the rest of the time, it will not come back on at all, but still responds to being tapped. The only way to get it back is to push the on/off button on the side twice, but then the screen is locked, and has to be swiped to unlock.
I have picked up a second phone, a 5660M running stock gingerbread 2.3.4, unlocked and rooted; not experiencing either of the two above issues (and the camera preview works). If I could take the 5660 back to stock at this point, I would prefer that, as the phone is not usable with these problems. Is there a stock rom available for this phone somewhere?
update part II
Hmm, after the phone showed up with 2.3.3 claiming to be a gt-s5660, and was sold as such, I finally put 1 & 1 together. I checked under the battery, it's a gt-s5660m. That explains probably all of the problems I've been having. Pity there's no ICS build for the M version of the phone.
You can use cm9 ics on your M model, it only changes your device id to gt-s5660, just dont flash roms with ODIN except roms for the M model.
Flashing from recovery wont install a baseband, with ODIN it mostly does, so the only roms you cant flash are old roms that still need odin like gioprio.
Flashable .zips are fine, all of them

The wifi problem might be hardware, m8
I don't know, as my gio has some strange problems as well and I've had ICS, Adrenaline ROMs, everything, and the problems still persist. At least they're not really bad to handle in everyday use but still, they're annoying.
Go to wifi settings - advanced - sleep policy- never

update part III
Since going back to GINGERBREAD.MUGKG3 / 2.3.4 for the GT-S5660M, the wifi crashing and screen blanking behaviours have completely stopped. After two days of running, wifi has not shut-off unexpectedly even once, and the screen does not blank any more at all.
The gps works now; it was not before. It used to sit for up to an hour under a clear open sky, day or night, and never acquire a single satellite. Now it picks them up within 30-60 seconds, though a full lock does take a couple of minutes.
The phone previously always indicated it was roaming, and would frequently refuse to send texts or make calls. I would get full bars for signal strength, but no connectivity.
I even got hold of the fm radio app, which was not included with the M version of the 5660, and manually installed it (phone must be rooted, and file system must be mounted read/write). It works too; a nice bonus.
The camera works, but is a bit flaky, requiring an occasional restart to get it going.
Probably the biggest headache, after flashing back to the 5660M version, was that the phone locked itself again, and wouldn't work on my network. I dumped bml5 page and searched out the unlock code. I had some trouble with this. The search string to get close to the code is supposed to be a sequence of twenty 0x00 bytes, one 0x05 byte, and fourteen 0xff bytes. The 0xff bytes weren't there, and it took a while for me to clue in that if I searched on the twenty 0x00, and single 0x05 byte sequence, I could still pull it out. I got it, and wrote it down in case this happens again.
sms issue
Still ticking along with the GT-S5660M; mostly it's all working nicely. I have one question though: I recently ran out of memory for storing SMS messages. It looks like the texting app in the phone wants to put everything on the SIM card rather than on the SD card, but there's no option for moving the default storage location for messages. Is there a simple way to do this? The phone is unlocked & rooted, but does not have the ext2 file system on it.
What's the IC? I checked under the battery to confirm mine is a Canada model, and it is.
But my IC is GT-S5660L
Model: GT-S5660M

Same, GTS5660L ... why do you ask?
Hey guys ready for a weird one? So the other day I turned on WiFi on my SIII to use the university's WiFi instead of my data like i usually do, and when it was time to turn off WiFi, I lost complete signal for data and cell reception. It was weird, so did the usual trouble shooting stuff (checking if data is on, roaming off, wifi off, correct APN)and everything there was fine. So i turned off data and turned it back on, still nothing, i turned on airplane mode, then turned it off, then it would fix the problem....for a little. After a little while the same problem would occure. So I decide to reboot the phone. That too temporarly fixes the problem. So when I got home, I did a factory reset. again, temporary fix. So then I decide to install a new rom, so I install the latest build of CM10. Fixes problem, then problem occurs again. Its extremely annoying, everything was working perfectly fine until the other day. I was on official ICS Stock Rom btw when the problem occured. My phone has been rooted this whole time, but that never was a problem the 3 months I've owned the phone. The problem is now occuring in CM10 as well. Anyone have any ideas as to what to do? Oh side note, when I installed CM10, I wiped everything chache data everything to make it as clean as possible. The issues are random disconnect from 4G data or rather any data reception, no SMS/MMS income or able to send,no calls. WiFi would work. Could this be a hardware problem? I've never dropped my phone or anything. This literally just randomly happened.
Yup
I am having this problem as well. Seems I loose reception. If I call my voicemail, reception returns for a bit and then turns off again and I repeat the process...my IMEI is fine, my APN seems fine, I don't understand what the problem is. I have tried multiple roms and continue to have this issue?

I have the same exact problem!
Similar things happened to me out of the blue about 3 weeks back. Dropping data, no connection to network, calls take 4 or 5 tries to go through sometimes, sms is flakey. I went back to stock 4.1.1 and still happened.
Went to phone store (Telus) and got a new sim. Didn't really help. Now phone is in the shop under warranty and I have a loaner HTC One S :-\
When I was around a strong cell signal it seemed better. My thoughts are that one of the power amplifiers is not working properly or at all. I will probably never really know.
Dear XDA community,
Recently my LG G4 H818 (dual sim) started causing troubles after 8 monthes of use. Everything started a week ago, when during the call I couldn't hear the other person. The other person could hear me well. It didn't matter if I was calling or I was receiving a call. It didn't depend of which sim I was using, call sounds from both sims were silent. After reboot this issue was resolved. Temporarily... After couple days everything started again and again reboot helped.
Yesterday, after regular reboot due to this issue, my phone showed an error - "Process isn't responding. Do you want to close it?". This is where nightmare started. Everything froze or started lagging badly, I couldn't unlock the phone, I couldn't launch any app, even notification drawer was not coming down, the phone was useless. I could receive calls, but I couldn't pickup (phone freezes instantly). When I tried to launch an app, it would say "This app isn't responding. Do you want to close it?" before freezing for couple minutes. It was happening to every single app (Phone, Contacts, Shazam, Whatsapp, etc.). I barely managed to save my data to pc using usb cable and decided to hard reset (erase all, format data, etc.).
After hard reset, during the first launch everything seemed ok, no lags, no errors... BUT this morning I received a call, picked it up and sound was missing again. I did the reboot and now I'm back again to freezing, huge lagging, errors, and phone is useless.
Everything is stock, latest Androd 6.0 is installed. Not rooted, bootloader is locked - I have not done any changes to the firmware at all. I did drop it once on the hard floor (only once) after a month of purchase, but until last week everything was working ok. I must mention that battery wasn't lasting long enough, but it might be due to my heavy use (9GAG, Chrome, Corporate email app, gaming sometimes) - charging 3-4 times in 2 days.
Has anybody faced same issue? Can anybody help me? Couldn't find any results on google and on forum here. Please help.
P.S. rooting and installing a different ROM is not an option, since dual sim LG's have limited available custom ROMs. Also, I use a corporate email app that cannot be installed on rooted phones (it is really annoying).
Thanks in advance!
Some update. It turns out speakers and microphone works if on speakerphone. If I switch back to headset, sound dissappears. Seems like more of a software problem, than hardware.
anyone?

Have you been able to fix it? Since I updated my H815 firmware's, I have been having same issue.
I'm getting tired of it, wifi disconnects and reconnects or flat out doesn't work, mobile data flat out doesn't work most times unless I reboot the phone for either of them to work. I'm rebooting about 4-5 times a day just to get either working. I'm at my wit's end and about to get rid of this thing as soon as I can.
I generally love this phone, but I'm seeing similar issues. WiFi says connected, but I don't get any data. I thought it was my network at first, but noticed other devices working. Tested network while my phone was acting like this, and my WiFi and network were working great.
Separately, my phone sometimes won't dial out. I use Google Voice, so I'm not sure if it's the phone or Google that's not working, but it's very frustrating. The dial screen comes up, then immediately disappears. No errors or anything to indicate that it ran into problems. The dial screen just flashes. Rebooting seems to fix that. But all very frustrating. Especially when I'm trying to call someone while driving. I don't want to have to look at the screen. I want to be able to tell the phone to call and know it's going to do it. Instead, I tell it to call, it confirms it will call, then nothing.

I'm getting the same problems and it's annoying the hell out of me I'm paying this phone off but I'm about to just ditch it buy a pocofone and just pay im this off separately or try to trade it in for a one plus 6T
