Hi Everyone,
First post here so hopefully you guys can help. Been doing a lot of reading of the site over the last few hours since I got my Diamond - looks great. Am usually very literate in these things but have always tended to be an S60 guy so now breaking into the WM world properly..
Anyway, there are two things I wanna run by you which I'm sure you guys may know..
1. Battery/3G
As we all know, the battery sucks.. There's no denying that. I refuse to switch from 3G to 2G though cos that spoils the object. I have already conceded by turning HSDPA off and am now on normal 3G as it is. One of the things that can't be good for the battery is that it connects to check emails and then stays connected.. Whereas the beauty of the iPhone for example is that if you tell it to poll your imap server every 15 mins, it connects, checks and downloads and the disconnects. It connects again another 15 mins later.
I've set my Diamond to poll every 30 mins in the hope that it would then disconnect once it has downloaded the emails rather than staying connected for hours and hours at a time to the internet even though it's only checking my email server every 30 mins or so.. you follow?
So, I downloaded Advanced Customisation and have turned off the Auto Attach feature.. But what it does is stop the Diamond auto connecting the first time.. but then once it's connected, it stays connected to the internet.
You follow me?
Basically, I want a way for the phone to disconnect from the net when it has checked for messages then reconnect when it's time to check automatically again. Rather than staying connected or me having to switch to a manual check. Is that possible guys? Maybe that will help with the battery.
2. GPS/Battery
Other thing I heard was that if you go into the GPS settings and change the program port from Port 4 to None, then it saves on battery life. Only downside is that you then have to fiddle with the settings before you fire up Tom Tom or Google Maps. Is there any truth that the phone is always looking for GPS satellites even when satnav software is not switched on.
3. ALARM
Oh actually - there is a third question.
Is there a way of having the phone on silent but alarm clock on so that I can sleep knowing I will be woken up by the alarm but NO phone calls. It's a basic thing in Symbian/Blackberry/S40 but seems to be missing on my Diamond?
Thanks all - i have googled and searched through the forums looking for answers to these questions but had no luck.. Hopefully you can post some answers.
Have a good day and thanks in advance

I'm pretty sure that just because it's connected ie. the E or 3G symbol on the signal strength bar. It doesn't pull extra juice, extra power is only required to transfer data and not to 'maintain' the connection.
if your area has great 3G connectivity, then you could set the phone to 3G only instead of auto, cause that's what usually saps the power, the phone constantly trying to find the best band when it's feels that the signal strength isn't good enough.

you can just put the phone on flight mode. that way no one will bother you with phone calls. (not tried it but i think it will work)

Hi
BTW, to set to 3G only, is it UMTS(800+2100) or UMTS(1700) in the UK?
Cheers
Sorry i'm from MAlaysia so I wouldn't know your settings. But in anycase you can leave that at AUTO. Just force it to UMTS instead of GSM or AUTO

UMTS in the UK is 2100.
So 900+2100 i suppose

I think you need to set the auto disconnect drop down in Advanced Config. I've set it to 10 secs and it works for me.

There is an easier way... Just turn down the call volume to zero, leave system volume up. This will keep the alarm ringing, but calls won't bother you.
SMS messages however will also still ring. So if you are afraid of being woken up by those, just turn them off in the notifications setting.
Oh yeah, and don't forget to turn up the volume of calls again after you wake up I missed some calls because of that, hehe.
I was travelling last week by plane when I received instruction not to use my mobile in flight mode. I was hoping to watch a few movies on my phone and to listen to some quality music. So what good is flight mode if airlines don't allow it?
They're idiots. It's happened to me too. Tell them it's not receiving or transmitting - it's a PDA.
Do exactly like Guilf said. Most flight attendants just think its another dumbass who thinks they are an exception to the rule. Just politely explain that you are not transmitting or receiving. I personally tell them its a PDA to begin with. Saves me the trouble of having to get into a technical discussion with someone who make $27,000 and is nothing more than a glorified air waiter/waitress. Now don't get me wrong I've met some cool flight attendents, but the majority are not going to understand something more technical than putting music on their iPod.
I do, however, have some choice words for the "exceptions" who do use their phones without turning flight mode on...
the funny thing is that mythbusters basically said that phones don't do anything in planes. lol
This is true, while I wouldn't run around saying that a Mythbuster show is equivalent to scientific fact, today's air plane technology makes it pretty much impossible for interference from cell phones to occur. At the same time, I would hate to be the jackass who caused the plane to crash that one time interference did occur. Just do the responsible thing and put it in Flight Mode.

Unfortuantly phones CAN affect aircraft systems - and i know because i'm an avionic engineer. Although the chances of your phone having a detectable effect is pretty slim.
The (recent / impending) introduction of inflight mobile service is based on putting a picocell onboard so you phone can only talk to the aircraft's cell - even when you would normally be able to receive a different one - and as the phone is close the the cell, it transmits at very low power.
Currently (in the UK atleast) mobiles are still not allowed to be used on the flight deck (in flight) as close proximity to the instruments does cause interference.
There is no reason why you cant use your device in "flight mode" when any other electrical/electronic devices are allowed - but regardless of that, if you p*ss the crew off enough they'll simply divert and/or have you arrested! Best to speak nicely to the hostie!
YMMV - I use BA a lot, and they always tell you to put your cell phone into flight mode or turn it off. Aer Lingus doesn't know about this mode - at least the FAs I had didn't know about it. State-side; some crews on Alaska know about it, SWA crews don't.
Some people don't understand flight mode too, and after turning on flight mode they whip out their bluetooth headsets and they think its OK. Just few weeks ago I was seated with some dumb asshole who got pissed when I told him using BT headset with his PDA is *not* using it in a flightmode, and he made such a scene when attendant told him to just turn it off.
Flightmode supposed to turn off ANY radio signals in/out, but its not the case with many phones and PDAs because users can still manually turn on wifi or bluetooth radio while in the flightmode (which is the case with our Kaisers).
And those short range but strong signal radios (wifi and bt) are IMHO most dangerous for the plane's electronics than the typical GSM radio at all.
Do not think all attendants are idiots. Certainly some of them are indeed, but so are many of passengers too
I rather fly with a pissed off idiot beside me and arrive safely - than take any chances of having something on the plane disrupted or not functioning just to please some idiot passenger.

Strong signal? Come on, BT only uses 10mW, 100mW for Wifi. GSM will blast 2/4W, so 200-400 times more power than BT.
Have you ever heard your speakers buzzing with BT/WiFi? That's common with GSM though...
There are airplanes equipped with WiFi access points...

How about GPS?
Does it work inside aircrafts? I tried to turn on GPS in trains to China but it doesn't seem to receive any signal.
If we could use GPS and Wifi in airplanes, that would be fun
GPS sometimes works if you are at the window, and it depends on the plane. But you have a nice faraday cage around you, so reception isn't usually that good.
My phone always gets a good GPS signal on planes sitting by the window.
Its funny to watch TOMTOM tell me im doing 489 miles per hour as i pass though villages!
I travel every week.
Usually, all it takes is showing the person the little "x" symbol next to the phone icon to prove that it is off.
I know that it takes SEVERAL phones to all be on to trigger any negative effects to the aircraft.
The funny part for me is when flight attendants get on the PA and state "our instruments still show several phones in the on position and we cannot take off until they are shut off"... like they have some sort of sniffer hookup next to the coffee maker and rubber chicken entree dispenser.
Of course, it is always just easier to find the butt on his BB that thinks that his conversation is so important that the rest of the plane should wait. Last Tuesday, some yahoo next to me on the flight to LA wouldn't turn his phone off until the FA finally told him that if he didn't shut off his phone NOW they were going to remove him from the plane.
My take.
In that West Wing episode, when interrupted from using his cell phone by a flight attendant, Communications Director Toby Ziegler argues, "We're flying in a Lockheed Eagle Series L-1011. Came off the line twenty months ago. Carries a Sim-5 transponder tracking system, and you're telling me I can still flummox this thing with something I bought at Radio Shack?"
Everybody knows, including most flight attendants, that cell phones pose no danger whatsoever to planes or their navigation equipment. What they do pose, however, is a threat to the tranquility enjoyed by passengers that cell phone use would disrupt. We already have an FCC ban against phones based on outdated technological concerns, but we still need the ban to make flying less annoying; so rather than bothering to redraft the law, why not leave it intact and continue to enforce it?
If you want to fire up BeeLineGPS and see how fast and high you're going, do it subtly on the side of your leg. Stewardesses who don't understand that a GPS receiver simply receives signals and is no more dangerous than an iPod won't be convinced by your explanation and will instead identify you as a difficult pain in the ass and be pissed that you think you are above ze law.
So go with it. This won't change anytime soon.
BeeLineGPS rules, by the way.
I'm going to start by saying I'm an ATT customer using an ATT Tilt. I updated to Ansars ROM about a month/month and a half ago I think and I had issues with my connection. I've seen switched to the PDACorner ROM and the issues I've had are not resolved.
I cannot maintain a good HSDPA connection. Very rarely I will get a good HSDPA connection which I can use data and voice just fine, but most of the time, when I get an H connection and I try to use either data or voice, it will try to connect or will be attempting to start dialing. After about 15 seconds it gives up and the connection is completely cut. As in the phone says no service. Eventually it will reconnect and the issue repeats. As to whether or not it works, it's completely random as far as I know. The only way I have a reliable connection is to force it to stay on GSM, which I'm not too keen on. If anyone has any solutions or needs additional information to provide help, it would be much appreciated.
Try a different Radio ROM, see if that helps.
Try one of the newer (emo) ones.
Well, I tried all of the kaiser ROMs listed on the front page and niether of them resolved the issue, so I tried reverting back to the latest HTC rom with the built in radio. I've been using this phone for the past few days and I think the issue is tower specific. There are times I'm at home and I get 4 or 5 bars of H and it's fine. But when it is failing, the # of bars are always at 2 bars. And this suddenly changes even though the phone may not have moved at all.
But when I'm out at work, I leave my phone in the car and it seems fine when I'm there. Then as I approach, it eventually craps out again. Furthermore, when I reset the phone at home, I usually have about time to make one call, but then if I end that call and try to start another, it then fails. Could this stil be a radio issue, ROM issue, or an issue with AT&T?
Same problem as mine

This is exactly the same problem I posted here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393182&page=80 ) but nobody could help me. I strongly believe that is a problem of hardware calibration in your phone and mine, because I have not seen any other case as this in this forum. I remember that in cell phones, years ago, thinks like this happened and only a hardware radio calibration/repair could fixed them. I will post any solution (including a possible call to HTC technical support).
No 3G connection
After further research I found that the Kaiser has two antennae, one for GSM an one for UMTS. If this one is damaged the phone only will work on GSM band. This could explain that the phone, when in Auto Mode, loss the signal but works OK on GSM. I also found a web page devoted to hardware problems where you can find the service manuals of most of the HTC phones including TyTN II: www.mikechannon.net . Nevertheless, be aware that by working in the hardware you may void the warranty, if it is already valid.
I'm not entirely sure if it's my UMTS. I only really notice it when home (and one trip down to DC a while ago now that I think about it). But I know I have had it functioning completely normally before. Though I admit it has had a few hits here and there. But please let me know your results, I'm definitely interested.
Maybe its ATT
I have had similar problems, first when using an Opal build of HyperDragon and then when using the official ATT 6.1 ROM. It got so bad I even had ATT send mne a new handset. Then I found out that ATT was having "issues" with the tower nearest my house. Now the problem has just as mysteriously goe away, and I have done nothing to my hand set to correct the issue.
I have since gone to a very late (and nice!) build of HD-III and it till works great. This leaves me to suspect that our wonderful carrier is the culprit.
I used the PDACorner build and had no issues, but it's even better on the HyperDragon III Raphael build. I can keep an active HSDPA connection all day.
So I ran a test. Last night I kicked up IM+ on my phone with an AIM connection and it connected and stayed connected for somewhere in the realm of 3 minutes... tops. So today I checked my phone before I got out of the car and kicked up IM+ again. Connected right away and I left it open while at work. Well, 9 and a half hours later when I go back to the car, I check the phone and it's still connected. No issues. This makes me thinks this is an ATT tower specific issue.
Addendum: just tried with HSDPA disabled, so just 3g and the same problem
Looks like this may be a SIM issue. I swapped SIMS with my gf and her phone (samsung A727) with my SIM got 3g fine. Her sim in my phone was fine, even HSDPA. Though I should admin, I didn't test a 3g connection that long since she doesn't have a data plan. But even when I swapped my sim back and started IM+ again it couldn't even connection at all. You may want to look into this too.
HTC-USA solved my problem of not connection to 3G network
I owned this information to this forum:
After many workarounds and trials/errors, I called to HTC-US explaining my problem with my TyTN II.
They worked in following way:
1. I sent them, to my cost, the phone (they asked to send only the phone without battery, back cover and SIM)
2. They took in deposit the information of my credit card just in case they needed to use it for a payment if the repair is out of the warranty. If this were the case they would inform me the amount and I had to decide to make the repair and pay the charge or not to make it.
They told me that they had to change the phone main board: I believe that everyone who has a similar problem like mine (bad or not connection to the 3G network and sluggish touch screen) should contact HTC-US to Customer Care Department, 1-888-617-1113, M-F 9AM - 6PM EST.
In my case the phone was in warranty (although I flashed the Hard SPL in the phone, but the hardware was untouched). Therefore, I had to pay…zero. And they returned my phone in just 4 business days.
My phone is working very good, always connected showing an H indicating the use of a HSDPA network.
The cost of the solution was $ 20 by the FedEx service to send them the phone. Good deal.
You see... This is why I love XDA-dev... There's all manner of interesting stuff on here...
I've been having similar strange issues with data (particularly HSDPA) on my Kaiser lately...
It's doubly-intersting there are separate antennae for GSM and UMTS. That would fit my situation perfectly...
My Kaiser had worked perfectly (albeit slowly) from day one for between six and nine months into ownership. Recently I noticed ActiveSync wasn't hitting my exchange server. Initially I thought it was just a network 'glitch' and that a Soft Reset and/or a few more miles into my drive would get things playing-ball again. Unfortunately neither worked.
The problem seemed to be that the handset would acknowledge the availability of HSDPA, try to connect, fail, the signal would then drop off completely. Next the phone found signal again, found GPRS, then HSDPA and would repeat the process. It didn't seem to even attempt to use a GPRS connection instead. I tried to connect in various locations thinking that there was something odd happening with my local cell site. Results were much the same.
The following day I was still having the same problem, and after ActiveSync picking up email once (in an area where the phone could ONLY find GPRS) but not again for some time, I called T-Mobile UK's customer support folks thinking that there might be an issue with their data backbone.
The first two people I spoke to were drones - they took the post codes I was in when having problems, punched it into their rather pessimistic coverage database (funny how the sales department one is quite optimistic) and explained that I shouldn't expect HSDPA in these locations. COMPLETELY sidestepping the points that a) I OFTEN spent time in these locations with the Kaiser tethered to my laptop enjoying decent HSDPA, and b) the handset was pretty convinced it was available, but wouldn't connect - nor was it failing to find HSDPA and 'falling back' to GPRS.
The second of the drones was slightly better in so much as she suggested I switch network to GSM (from Auto) in the phone settings. ActiveSync was then able to connect; I was quite impressed with a bit of progress being made, but that was quickly replaced with disappointment as she then continued to say that I should always switch it manually in areas where HSDPA wasn't available/working. I protested somewhat that this was a new thing, as the phone had previously always connected via the best available medium; this fell on deaf ears and the call came to an end not really any closer to a solution.
It was on the third call to T-Mobile that I happened to get through to a chap who is possibly the best customer-facing tech guy they've got. He instantly identified that I'm a geek and was happy to talk to me in those terms.
(I'm not sure whether I should post his name here or not, if he makes too many customers happy I'm sure he'll be promoted away from his position where he's potentially a great help to us!)
Again he took the post codes I'd been in when experiencing problems, but instead of palming me off with the signal coverage nonsense, listened to my description of what was safe to describe as 'normal' service in these locations, and how the current situation differed. He then started to examine the historical HSDPA Retainability figures for each mast relevant to the post codes I'd given him.
He explained that T-Mobile aim at a minimum of 98% HSDPA Retainability from their masts, if the figures for a given day drop below that level they expect connectivity issues and will normally send a field tech to investigate/repair. Most of the masts in my area had been performing in the low to mid 80s over the past few days. It started to sound like the problem was becoming apparent...
So, I was politely asked to try to log some details (signal strength, location (post code), time (as close to exact minute as possible), and any unusual behaviour) on five occassions, at least an hour apart over a 24 hour period so that he could escalate the issue with the back office team. I agreed to do this (and he was quite surprised at that - but the way I see it I might as well try to help fix the thing as much as possible, being obstructive and giving it the 'No! I pay you for it to work!" rant wouldn't help anyone).
Anyway, I started to make quite a detailed log of issues I was having; but in doing this I dug out one of my old Hermes and each time the Kaiser failed, the Hermes succeeded. Obviously it doesn't take herr Einstein to figure out this was now looking like a handset fault. I tried a Hard Reset on the Kaiser (just in case - I hadn't installed anything for months anyway), but that failed, so it's looking pretty concrete its a hardware issue.
I guess something's happened to the UMTS antenna in the handset, we'll find out in due course as it's about to go in for repair...

Rob.

Believe me. It is the only way to fix the problem. Your problem is exactly as my problem was. After sending my phone to HTC I have a normal working UMTS PDA.
I started having this problem back in November. I found that by enabling the band tab, and switching from Auto to GSM the everything worked fine, but at edge speeds. I called into AT&T customer service, and we tried swapping sims between phones etc. - it wasn't the SIM. I was told that AT&T did some Network upgrades in my area, and the Rep suggested that I switch to WME 6.1. I thought I'd try swapping radios first, so read a great deal in the AllTheWay's Ultimate Radio thread. Well, I never did change my radio, I found the problem went away after I upgraded the HardSPL in my TILT. I was on OliPof's SPL-1.0, and moved up to JockyW's 3.29 found here:

I'm going to start by saying I'm an ATT customer using an ATT Tilt. I updated to Ansars ROM about a month/month and a half ago I think and I had issues with my connection. I've seen switched to the PDACorner ROM and the issues I've had are not resolved.
I cannot maintain a good HSDPA connection. Very rarely I will get a good HSDPA connection which I can use data and voice just fine, but most of the time, when I get an H connection and I try to use either data or voice, it will try to connect or will be attempting to start dialing. After about 15 seconds it gives up and the connection is completely cut. As in the phone says no service. Eventually it will reconnect and the issue repeats. As to whether or not it works, it's completely random as far as I know. The only way I have a reliable connection is to force it to stay on GSM, which I'm not too keen on. If anyone has any solutions or needs additional information to provide help, it would be much appreciated.

I seem to be having a similar problem w/ my tilt as well since around the 28th of Jan. My phone will show 3-4 bars of signal on HSDPA but sometimes will not connect to the internet, also it will not receive incoming calls even tho it is showing that it has signal. Have tried setting the tilt to only use 3g, get the same results, it will show it has signal but wont be connected to the network (no incoming calls, if I try to make a outgoing it will fail).
Soft resets will get the phone working again sometimes, it seems to be somewhat random far as I can tell because I tried the phone a few days ago and it was showing 3 bars of signal +/- 1 as I was moving around the house but was not receiving calls yet again, then all of a sudden must have got connected (showed new voice mail messages and downloaded new emails)
Anyone else have any ideas? I love the tilt but its worthless to me if its not reliable, I may try flashing a diffrent rom and radio to it and hope that fixes it...
Currently
Radio 1.65.16.25
Rom is 3.5 dutty's and JockyW's 3.29 HARDSpl
Edit: Oh btw I am in the central MD area as well so it does make me wonder if it is ATT related problem and not the phone
Just a follow up - my updating HardSPL versions did not permanently fix the problem. Not sure, but it may have come back after I re-enabled HSDPA using Kaiser Tweak, although I had also changed the disconnect after settings in the Data section too. I'll continue to play and post back if I find something solid. Unfortunately, my phone is out of warranty, so getting a new handset isn't an option. One thing I do know, prior to local tower 'upgrades' by at&t, my 3G and H data connections worked great, and I never had the occasional issue I have now of not being able to call out with out a soft reset, or turning the phone off and on.

Looks like this may be a SIM issue. I swapped SIMS with my gf and her phone (samsung A727) with my SIM got 3g fine. Her sim in my phone was fine, even HSDPA. Though I should admin, I didn't test a 3g connection that long since she doesn't have a data plan. But even when I swapped my sim back and started IM+ again it couldn't even connection at all. You may want to look into this too.

i used to have connection issues until i removed hidden proxies
My Tilt started acting up on 3G last night here, but I'm still not sure if it's just a simple network issue or a problem with my phone, as it's not that different from when the iPhone first hit and 3G got swamped.
I was using 3G fine last night, no problems. Running TrackMe, and messing with Google Maps a bit. Then everything stalled, had to kill Google Maps, noticed TrackMe couldn't upload. So I toggled the radio as that usually fixes this sort of thing, it gets a 3G signal, but when I connect to the network it can't connect to anything. I can make phone calls, haven't checked receiving them yet, signal strengths all look fine, it just won't do any data. If I turn off 3G, it connects and transfers data just fine.
If this doesn't go away today, I'm going to get more worried. I can use it on Edge I suppose, but damn it's slow.

Well, I tried a hard reset, removed the hidden proxies still will not work on 3G HSDPA. Next step is trying a different radio/rom but I do not see how that would "fix" this thing but, I am running out of ideas of what to try and really would like the HSDPA usable for tethering to my new netbook...

Radio 1.65.16.25
Dutty's WM6.1 Official UC 5.2.19199 RTM
JockyW's 3.29 HARDSpl
I bought an unlocked G1 (Stock Firmware 1.6). When I inserted my sim (2G vodafone) in it, it worked. I could make calls and send msgs. I could also connect using wifi and bluetooth etc.
Later, I realized that I was loosing network randomly (any time-any place) even at those places where I got full signals in my "htc Tornado". When there is no network in my G1 and I try to manually search for network and connect, it says "your sim card does not allow connection at this time". I tried sim cards from same and different service providers but same problem.
I did case study and ruled out following possibilities:
1). Since I tried several other sim cards, there is no problem with my sim or service provider.
2). Since I get full coverage and I can make calls sometimes, so the unlocking was done successfully.
3). I also checked the radio version, it was up to date. But still, I tried re-installing the radio....no luck
4). Even if I don't have network signal, I am able to connect using wifi and bluetooth. So, I "think" and "beleive" that my radio hardware is also fine.
.....Possible problems left:
1). Hardware (loose sim connections etc)
2). Firmware
....I "Rooted" my G1...and upgraded to "CyanogenMod 6 RC1".....But the problem did not solve.
Now, the "firmware" possibility is also ruled out.
Then I searched to various forums and blogs and I found several other people having the same or similar problem. Below are few links:
1). http://androidforums.com/g1-support/5192-g1-no-signal.html
2). http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2845
Then I found a solution (Below is the link - I posted). I just have to turn off/on the "autosync" and turn off/on the "radio".
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8047496&postcount=29
PS. Toggling ONLY radio "off/on" does not works mostly.
Now there are two problems:
1). The solution has to be applied several times in a day to get continuous network.
2). What exactly is happening? How is this problem related to "Autosync" (if it is).
Can somebody please try to understand what is the problem? We need help......
EDIT: If I reboot after connecting to my laptop (having drivers installed) I will have full signals as long as I stay connected.
Is there a apn showing under the networks list? Like T-Mobile US?
Whenever I have network bars...I can see Vodafone APNs in the list but when there is no signal...the apns are also gone.
I also think (not sure) that whenever I am connected to wifi...I don't loose signal frequently and even if I loose....they come back automatically...I don't have to do autosync toggle and radio toggle.
Can somebody please take interest and help me????
Try to find an apn for your carrier and do it manually...see if that helps.
Unlockin' phones always result in manually setting up networks ,apn's and all sorts of things.
So try that .
Sent from my HTC Dream using XDA App
I tried that but it did not work. Moreover, I'm using CM6 rom which have all the APN settings of my service providers. I tried with two different service providers.
Please find a solution for me....My G1 is out of action.....
Have you tried to flash the latest radio?
..Yes...I have the latest radio from the cyanogen's site. I'm running CM6.
Can you plz tell me what commands can be run from adb shell to fetch out various information and logs about network, radio etc, so that I can provide you more details.

same problem here!
since 2 months ago, I'm having EXACTLY same problem as you.
it happens with 1.6 vodafone original, 1.6 roms, 2.1 roms, 2.2 roms... (cyano, theOriginal,superatmel,htcmania)...
with radio updated and all the stuff. I also put it back to original 1.6 with perfectspl via a sapphire image I found in htcmania. I have STOCK 1.6, but I keep having EXACTLY THE SAME problem that you describe.
p.d. I'm Vodafone in Spain.
I'm thinking of taking the phone to the store where I bought it and have HTC fix it.
I have found a sure shot thing......please see if this can help to troubleshoot the problem.
Most of the time I don't have signals. If I reboot my phone the problem does not solve. But, if I connect my phone to my laptop (having android phone driver installed) and then I reboot my phone....I get full signals. I can make calls as long as phone is connected and there is no problem during that period.
Now I don't understand what is the problem and why is it happening?
I've had the same problem here and there. At first I thought it was a side effect from running Froyo on my MT3G that has been carrier unlocked for maybe 9 months but I was wrong..I switched back to Donut and had same issues. So I called T-mobile US and they did a network reset that helped for maybe an hour or so, they explained that maybe my phone could have been "Locked on to a cell tower that was just close enough for the phone to connect to" I just figured I'd play dumb and say OK. I personally believe that it's the cell tower here near my house causing the problem. As of right now my phone isn't acting up so who the hell knows, maybe in my case it has to do with the hspa+ upgrades as of late in my area.
Hey have you tried toggling to just the edge network and seeing what happens?, when my phone starting acting up that seemed to allow me to keep a consistent signal. You mentioned "you tried re-installing the radio", did you mean it was unsuccessful re-installing or it worked but no improvement? You should also check out HTC's developer website if that's the case, they have a good tutorial on reinstalling the radio image.
Good luck hope I had sensible input.
What do you see when you type *#*#4636#*#* into your dialer and select "Phone Information" and scroll down to "Set preferred network type"?
I believe you wanna see "WCDMA preferred" in a normal setting. It will change what it displays if you toggle to edge through the settings menu.

....any word towards solving this issue is useful for me....and thanks....
Earlier I was using WCDMA setting but later I changed it to GSM Only because my service provider does not support 3G. In either case, I had the same problem.
I succeeded installing the radio but that did not solve my problem.
So, what are you doing with your phone now?

I have set it to "GSM only" because my service provider supports only EDGE. I have switched off auto-sync.
Do you have any idea about why it works when I'm connected to USB?
logcat of radio
Hi!
I am attaching here the output from #logcat -b radio
plz. see if someone can find a culprit in it.
Thanks
This is normal. Learn to live with it.
I have ****ty tmockery service here. Of our 5 family phones, only my wife and I (G1's) have relatively decent service. I modded ours as listed below. My children's phones, samsung gravity's, have horendous service! They have to walk around to find a spot. All of this is at home... we live in a low spot. There is no chance of us ever getting 3G in this area.
Our G1's used to have the same issues as theirs. I modded our G1 antennaes with psuedo- tesla coils and doubled our coverage! I'm using the xda app right now and can't take or post photos of it, but it works. I'm also running the lasest radio. 23.02 I think..
We live in a brick home. Before, I would have to walk to the far left vorner of our backyard or the frontyard near the road to get enough service to make a call without losing service. I'm sitting in the bathroom right now and have 4 bars! Used to be that I would get one or none right here!
I'll give you basic instructions and will post pics later. I take NO responsibility if this burn, breaks or melts your device. Only do this on phones that have no warranty or the warranty has been voided! IE. I have a bronze and replaced the silver keys with black ones! This will void any warranty you have!!!
Remove back, batt, and sim. Take a wire, your choice of size, and remove the insulation. Sepparate all the strands. Choose one strand. Remember, the thicker the strand, the harder time you'll have keeping your back on the phone. There's very little clearance in there. On the back of your phone, the radio antenna is on the right side. Same side as your volume button. On the lower end of it, remove some of the paint/sealant. 4mm x 4mm maybe... enough to solder on. Set your wire end on this spot. Lay the wire down the phone's back. You will need this to be inside the flat area and not on the curved slope. When you get to the same spot on the bottom, make a sharp turn left. Go close to the sim card area and make it turn up. Near the battery are turn it right. Once you get near the wire again, turn it down. Stay about 2mm away from the wires original path. Continue these turns until you run out of room. In the end, you'll have a wire that spirals to its center in a box fashion. Lay the wire back on the phone and press out any imperfections. Next, solder the begining end of the wire to the spot on the phones antenna. Use caution when soldering! Practice on something before trying this! The phones antenna is held in place by small tips of the plastic going though it and melted down. If you get the original antenna too hot, you will mess up these little tips. Solder the wire with as little solder as possible. Make sure the wire is as flat as it can be with the antenna and is making good contact! Now, make sure the wire is as flat as possible on the plastic. Put a couple of dots of superglue on the length of wire down to the corner. Let these set, holding the wire in place. Don't let your finger become attached to the glue. Use only enough for it to make contact and stick! With superglue, less is best! After this length dries, start glueing each corner of the coil, not letting any part of the wire touch itself. Maintain the sepparation down to the center. After it's dried, you will need to file down the solder to make sure your back will fit. If you can't get the cover to fit, you may need to scratch some grooves into your back cover. When you set the back on the phone, it may make slight indention in the plastic where the wire is pressing against it. If not, maybe use a little chalk to outline the wire and then put the back on. The point being to transfer a line to the back where the grooves need to be made. The plastic of the back is not verry thick! Use caution or you could go through the back! You should see significant gains in signal strength. Mine has been modded for close to a year now. No problems so far.
Pics later today.
Sent from my BBQ flavored G1 using XDA App
....Ok...you put the pics....let's see how scary is this...
.....did you try a signal booster (an after-market thin antenna kind of thing placed under the battery) before doing that??
Hi,
Sorry about the new thread. Could not find a match.
I have been reading this sites forum for a couple of years and until now have not broken something to the point I can’t find the answer somewhere.
So my first question. I am really stuck.
I have a Telstra HTC Velocity 4G. I followed the instructions on thread SUPERGUIDE (thread #1416836) and they worked perfectly. Thanks to slapshot30 for creating it
.
I did step 1 and unlocked the bootloader.
I did step 2 using the CWM Perm Boot method to get perm root.
I did step 3 using the Pirateghost’s method to load RumRaider BETA 11 (Thread #1418089).
I run on this for a couple of days and everything was great with the Rumraider ROM. Thanks Pirateghost it works great.
And then.. the phone started to refuse to charge. I tracked this down to a faulty battery by swapping it with friends battery. So now I knew the battery had failed unrelated to any of the changes I had done. So I would have to send it back under warranty.
So I then decided to revert the phone back to stock so I would get any issues when the phone was returned for warranty.
To revert back I “poorly” followed step 6 of the super guide. I missed the relocking of the phone by using the “fastboot oem lock”.
I just directly ran the RUU_HOLIDAY_SENSE3_5_Telstra_WWE_2.27.841.6_Radio_3.01.4720 which appeared fine.
The problem now is:
The phone boots to the normal lock screen. I can call the phone and the phone rings. I can send a text or SMS and the phone beeps. I however cannot swipe the screen to unlock it. If the screen time-out I can press the power button and see the lock screen again.
I have attempted to resolve by:
1. Rerunning RUU_HOLIDAY_SENSE3_5_Telstra_WWE_2.27.841.6_Radio_3.01.4720 which did not helped.
2. When I boot the phone if I power it on holding the POWER and VOLUME DOWN it just boots normally so I cannot get it into recovery.
3. Fastboot.exe and adb.exe do not find the handset.
If I plug the phone in the phone appears as “HTC Android Phone USB Device” in windows. So the USB port is working fine.
Any ideas of what else I can try next would be greatly appreciated?
I would attempt to take it back, sounds like maybe you have more than just a faulty battery, if you have had it I think less than 7 days they should count it as a DOA and issue you a new one over the counter.
Yep, HTC have a 30 ELF - early life failure - period wher you can just swap for a new one in store.
Thanks swapped the phone over with no problems.
good to know, thanks
wonder if they will do this with mine? but the store is a Telstra Licensed Store operated by Fone Zone. got phone on 15th feb. Having issues of phone not enabling data network when coming out of sleep and gps constantly loosing fix. I also got suckered into getting FZ's esp.
For the phone not enabling data network when coming out of sleep please check you have the following set.
Settings
Wireless & Networks
Mobile networks
Tick " Tick always on mobile data"
Let me know if this fixed it.
If it locked off just dial a uncharged vacant voice number to force connection. In Aust something like 8888 would do the trick.

The first works but the dialing one didn't where i dialed a number. Was even able to receive a call. Also what about the GPS and the signal strength being all over the place i watched the db level change and all that.
---------- Post added at 04:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------
now i have to restart the phone to get data back even with always on mobile data. Also saw that Mobile network tick boxed had been unticked then i ticked it it took ages to go white writing. but still had to restart phone to get data back.
nope didn't swap on the spot The system also lost my Tech Bar appointment.
They are going to use the esp express (apparently faster) to swap it hopefully in 2 days hopefully not a referb so i keep using this current phone until they ring me and i go in and just swap it over.
Also noticed when using data its not changing to HSPA no H near the signal icon like my xoom or like just sitting on 3g.
How can I convince people (brother was thinking of getting one) to buy these phones if i keep getting ****? What ever happened to the Quality control? mumble mumble...
Sorry,
It unclear to me, did the settings I suggested resolve the phone not enabling data network when coming out of sleep?
Also the GPS on mine is fine. I grabbed 4 phones and used GPS Test from the market. With all 4 phones on in my court yard which is surrounded by large buildings my rather unscientific the finders where.
HTC Velocity: In view: 12, Locked 8, Lowest 13 SNR, Highest 30 SNR
HTC Desire: In view: 7, Locked 7, Lowest 12 SNR, Highest 26 SNR
HTC EVO 3D: In view: 8, Locked 8, Lowest 8 SNR, Highest 30 SNR
Samsung Galaxy S II: In view: 7, Locked 7, Lowest 20 SNR, Highest 26 SNR
So based on simple test the GPS seems the best of these 4 phones.
Also for LTE if you believe you are in 4G coverage could you please try this.
Dial *#*#4636#*#* to bring up phone info. ( or download “LTE Only”)
Change to LTE only ( This will break Voice calling so change it back!!).
Don’t touch the SMSC setting or you will break SMS in this screen.
This should now change the phone to “4G” for Telstra Build.
The download “SpeedTest” from the market and test it.
Then change back to “GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto”
Let me know how this goes.

yes it did resolve it but its being temperamental. eg it will come out of sleep properly then it wont.
gps not working too well even with clear view of sky. keeps loosing fix loss of gps signal. the time of loss varies to not coming back at all to a few seconds. Ive also discovered that its not switching to HSPA at all. Haven't tested the 4G yet. But anyway ill just have to put up with the refurbishment when they swap it. So much for 7 day DOA swap over counter.
Hi could you please try this to save you the hassle of sending the phone back. It would appear that a lot of your phone default setting have been change or been set incorrectly when you purchased the phone.
Data not returning after sleep.
My suggestion wrong be that the phone isputting the data connection to sleep to save power.
Press Home
goto into settings
press power
untick Save Power
Set save Powerautomatically to say 15% for now.
If you look in save power settings you will have "put data connention to sleep" ticked leave it ticked. My assumption is you are triggering this to early due to the two settings above.
GPS Performance.
Could be linked to Power setting.
Aslo done load "GPS test"
Open it
hit the settings setting button in the app
Update your AGPS
now turn you GPS on via button on the top left hand corner
Go for a walk out side and it should work fine now
You will see all the sats and their levels.
you could run this on a mates phone and compare the results.
Network not providing HSPA
How are you determing this? If you run speed test it should change to "H' and then drop back to 3G when the data drops off.
Also could you force 4G if you are in a coverage area to see if this is working. I am interested incase there is a network problem.
my response is in RED

only get the 3G and arrow symbols it doesn't change to a H symbol. I also noticed the signal strength drop to 1 dot then full bars then waver around.
I also dropped to 3Telstra and got the H symbol but when i started using data it changed the symbol to 3G.
Also could you force 4G if you are in a coverage area to see if this is working. I am interested incase there is a network problem.
not in a 4G area.
and now its not ringing when i get calls.
