Starting today, my tilt seems to have a new problem. I can't find anyone else who has experienced this so...
I had downloaded the 10 button htc comm manager about a week ago. Everything was working fine until today: I tried to make a call with my 3G button on. Nothing. I'm showing two bars of 3G, but I'm not connected at all! Okay... so I try turning off my 3G button. Edge picks up and I'm back online. Fine. I turn 3G button back on, and edge APPEARS to connect (I get the E bars), but shortly switches to showing a few bars of 3G. Great! But I'm not connected again. It's SHOWING a 3G connection, but I'm totally offline. Can't make or receive calls. Can't get online.
I backed up before installing this comm manager, so it's not a big deal to go back, but what's going on here? It seems as though there must be some bad code with this new manager. Any ideas? If it helps, this is where I got the manager:

Oh, and I downloaded Windows Live Search last night, but other than that, I can't think of why this would be happening.
Update
This appears to only be happening in the neighborhood of my office in DUMBO Brooklyn, NY. I'm still really stumped.

I think I must have changed a setting. My media net Edge connection stays on. If I restart the phone Edge (wap.cingular $20 plan)is not connected and no programs are loaded. If I check the weather (HTC Home screen) it connects using Edge. When I first got the Kaiser I thought it disconnect from Edge after the weather download. Now Edge stays connected. Any ideas what I might have changed. I have stopped all programs and it still stays on. I can stop it using comm manger Data Connection. (everything else works great, TomTom GPS, wifi etc.) Would prefer not to do hard reset since everthing else works. Waiting for ATT to turn on 3G in Denver in 4 days.
Hi, the search button has failed me. (Two posts in 2 years isnt too bad is it?)
My issues is.... accessing the internet over 3g works fine (and HPSDA) Internet, push mail everything... however, If I drop out of coverage at any time my internet connection vanishes as to be expected. However once connection is re-established still the Internet fails to work. It shows connected to 3G or HPSDA but all websites time out and Activesync reports waiting for network.
The fix is to go Start>Settings>Connections>Connections>Manage my existing connections.
Then I simply "Next" thru all the settings until I get to the end. Press Finish. The data connection drops and the re-establishes and Im working again!?!! Very Annoying!
Im running. Duttys 6.1 Rom (April) and a few bits a pieces (It happens with nothing installed also and with another ROM I tried in desperation!) T-Mobile UK
Does this sound like a Radio issue to you guys? Should I try another Radio or Ditch Dutys Rom? (Which I love)
Any help gratefully accepted.
If Downgraded to WM6 (T-Mobile stock ROM) and Im still having this issue. Very frustrated.
I've found a few posts from the US who seem to have the same sort of issue. 3g does not recover after dropping out of service.

Not sure what to do now...
I've had the same sort of thing, I just disconnect (Long press on the red End call key or click on the 3G icon in the top bar and hit disconnect), and let it reconnect.
I have exactly the same issue with mine as well and its only started recently. I too have found the only way to fix it is to go through and 're setup' the connection. Disconnecting and reconnecting, rebooting all seem to do nothing...

I think so... however, Im such a light "voice" user I never really notice... I'll double check the next time it goes. IE When I get a cuppa tea at the office..

Which symbol is most of the time in the top of your screen G/E/3G/H...?! Check this one out also --> my 3G issue
I usually have a H (1 or 2 bars), when walking around my office this can drop to a 3G connection at times.
If I head to the basement, I drop to the Areial symbol or completely disconnect.... When the H or 3G connection starts again my Data connection fails as described above.
(However, I am able to make normal outgoing voice calls, not tried incoming yet)
Ok, I think I have a work around that seems to be working for me.
I set my BAND to GSM only as a test.... and it worked for the whole day, when I dropped into a NO SERVICE area the data connection dropped. When it recovered my data connection was back and working.
Obviously GSM is too slow, so I've now set my BAND settings to;
Network Type - WCDMA
UMTS Band - UMTS(2100+800)
And also diasabled HSDPA.
Currently everything seems ok... Now my connection does not drop from HSDPA>3G>G and back up again it seems to work fine?? Seems the issue may be with switching between the GSM standards??
I realise I wont get coverage in GSM only area's, but consistant data (Push Email) is just as important to me.
I've the same problem, but changing settings to gsm only is no solution. In this case I have to restart my Kaiser to get a new working connection.
I also have many Problems since updating to wm 6.1. Can I downgrade to the original german 6.0 or is there a really stable german 6.1 out there?
I've been getting the same problem as well for the past month or so.
Have been 'fixing' the problem by either putting the phone into airplane mode and back again, or rebooting the phone.
It's getting quite annoying though
Stopping the phone dropping to GSM seems to work for me. Leaving me with HDSPA and 3G.
I'm lucky to be in a good 3G coverage area I guess.
Im not sure who we should log this issue with? Carrier or HTC?
Are we all on T-Mobile having this issue?
i'm on o2 germany and a one day test with t-mobile didn#t show this error
with o2 i have this problem about three times a day
any new ideas since july ?
Sometimes i want to throw my phone away.
I'm still having the problem as well. Has anybody figured out a solution?
my att tilt was working fine, now i cannot access internet and the 3g symbol is gone from signal bar. i have tried soft reset a few times and removed battery still nothing, any ideas?
thanks
magically started working all by itself!
I've got the H symbol, but will not connect
albany problems too
I'm in Albany, NY.
I tried to tether my tilt and use the internet shareing program which has worked perfectly in the past and i could not connect. I tried the "connection settup" program just in case i accidentally messed up the proxy settings or something.
still not working.
can't connect to the internet or send and recieve mail.
i can make and receive calls... but thats it.
spoke to a business partner of mine and they use iPhones. One of his applications that requires internet is not working either... it could be more apps... he hasn't tested as much.
WHAT'S GOING ON AT&T!? please don't tell me we are having an at&t blackout like some other parts of the country has!!
Mine just started working... I think... When it loaded google.com the phone froze up
I'm back up, but was down for 3 hours this morning here in St Louis, MO.
OK, now I have to figure out why PIE locks up the phone
this can be the reason:
AT&T suffering a data outage, again
http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/01/06/att-suffering-a-data-outage-again/
I called up customer service and got $2 back on my current balance. Tried to get rollover minutes, no luck.
What's the difference in the H and G icons? I always have H or E but never G.
Hi,
I don't know if anyone has heard of this problem or Im just being paranoid, but I installed PocketMax's PhoneAlarm (v 2.13) and was testing some automatic profile switching yesterday, one of which was into flight mode. This worked, but when it came out of flight mode the operator signal strength started to refresh.
ie. GPRS..good signal...HPDSA good signal...HPDSA poor signal...then no signal. The no signal stays like this for some time before the cycle starts again.
Not sure if this could be the weather but it's been clear and cold and checking my sim out on another mobile shows a good steady signal.
The reason why Im pointing to Phone Alarm is that all was well up until this point, before playing with the automatic profile switching into flight mode.
If anyone has any ideas or a setting that can be stabilised in the registry to stop this then Im all ears.
Thanks for you anticipated help or solution.
Apologies if this has been covered already
Not sure if this is relevant or not but:
I noticed that when I upgraded to WM 6.1 my flight mode acted all kinds of strange. Even if I manually put it in flight mode I could sometimes not get it to come out of flight mode and turn the radio back on unless I soft reset the device.
Hi dalavar ,
Thanks for the response. It was fine before and hadn't noticed any problem with signal dropping before upgrading to 6.1, even when looking at flight mode on the comms manager. This suddenly happened after coming out of flight mode using phonealarm Wednesday mid-dayish and has been acting like this since.
I've tried resetting and even reflashing the rom to see if would set things back to normal and still no joy, the same thing happens. The latest thing I tried was a different sim in the phone and again the signal cycles and stays on no service more than another signal. It seems to indicate a phone problem, as I've tried the sim in another phone and the signal is ok.
Im not sure if it could be the weather as it colder than usual where I am and wounder if these phones are prone to not being able to hone in on a signal when ice crystals are in the air deflecting the signal, as a friend suggested, but I think that would affect all phones.
Any further idea's would be gratefully appreciated.
I've discovered, purely by accident, that when I disable the 3g (using duttys 10 button comms manager) the signal comes back and stays, I'm only getting GPRS not HSDPA, at present, which I suppose is something. Under the phone settings I also notices that it is set to GSM and not auto. Something probably I did when trying to find out why this problem occured.
Im trying to set it back to auto (this is what the 3g button does on dutty comms manager), under phone band settings, which was the default setting and this is when the signal problem reoccurs.
Wondering what this auto is looking at?
Where the settings are for it to look at so if it looking for something else I can change it back.
Anyone have any ideas?
Just an update.
This seems a common problem amongst some uk 3G networks, I found forums where Orange and T-Mobile customers had suffered the same problem. Months where 3G working fine then 'Cillit Bang' and the 3G's gone!
It could be the sim has become faulty (rare, but not unknown)
It could, in fact, be that the signal is bad in the recent cold snap here in the UK, which I hoping is the case and when the weather warms up I can test this theory and set 3G back to auto.
Update.
This morning it was still not wokring on auti, at around 11:30 I tried again to turn auto on and now the phone os working again with 3G enabled, but it's only coming up with GPRS.
Not sure if it was the weather as now we are at 9 degress rather zero or in the low minus, and it did appear to come back when the temp increased or could be the network provider has been playing with the transmitters.
Now just awaiting HSDPA to come back.
Still not working correctly. Again it drops signal unless I switch back to GSM. Getting this diagnosed.
I upgraded to R3A last week and so far everything's gone smoothly.
The only thing that's bugging me is that the network icon (H) spends most of its time greyed out (see screenshot). I only ever saw it in that state briefly in previous firmware.
It doesn't seem to affect connection or call quality. It's not indicative of a bad signal, as it'll still go back to 2.5G when 3G is lacking. The resulting G will usually be grey as well.
Presumably it means something's less than optimal, but I can't find any info about it anywhere.
Clues anybody?
Are you sure you are able to connect to a data connection, for web browsing etc? Because the last time this happened to me, i was not able to connect, and had to do a hard reset to get it fixed.

Data connection works fine. There appears to be no issue with functionality of anything.
The set of "custom" status icons (colored ones) doesn't contain icon for HSDPA (or something like this, dataconnection available in you location) so it is shown as standard icon (only black&white). I bet if you have only EDGE or GPRS available, there will be the same icon as the others are.
it should mean that data connection is unavailable at the moment (because it can get back in a later time) or something is wrong with your data connection (that is why we have sometimes to reset the phone to make it work back).
Guys,
I have a Xperia for almost one month, and last night it suddenly stopped to be connected with the network. I tried to connect manually, and it worked, but the calls still couldn't be done! One hour later, the same situation started again and my phone can not connect to the network.
I don't know what to do anymore, I have already hard reset the phone, and nothing happened!!
Help me!

I get exactly the same thing, running Jacks latest lite-ROM, based on the R3A. Connection icons are greyed out, but I still have an excellent data connection.
What's more is that after a fairly long call, the phone usually looks like it's in flight mode. However, if I try calling myself from my second phone it works just fine, and I can recieve sms-es. But, I cannot send texts or call out, since the phone thinks it's cell-module is turned off. This always corrects itself after a soft reset, and usually passes by itself after about ten minutes. But the connection icons stay greyed out.
If I try to turn the phone-module back on, nothing happens.
Weird, innit?
