I just took a trip for the weekend and much of the area i travelled thru didnt have cell service. However I found that when my phone was in a cell service area it wasnt making calls. here is the scenario...
driving down the highway, my cell isnt finding a signal, it sets itself to the airplane setting & thus calls cant be made, my wife's curve has a signal & she's on the phone, so i turn the phone back on & try to make a call...it ends my calls before it rings. i try to wait to see if its a timing issue, 10 minutes lapses, wife still on phone, i try to make a call, no go.
i had to cut my phone off & cut it back on to get the phone to work?? it recognized a signal as i had 1 bar of signal reception on the tilt and my wife's curve had 2 bars. but it'd never start a call. i'd see that it said calling, 3-5 secs later it said call ended...
anyone have any idea as to why this would happen or why i'd be required to restart everytime i leave a cell service area & reenter one? any fixes? i searched for my title & found no results...
Are you on 3G or GSM when it fails? If it's on 3G, you could have that problem, try to switch to GSM only and see if it's better.

well as far as i know we're not getting 3g until may...but i do drive towards a 3g network, so it may have been switching over to 3g prior to driving into the back country?

i checked & the phone is actually set to gsm only already...so this cant be the issue. any other thoughts?
Wish I had an answer, but my phone does the same thing. I must reset the phone to get a signal

what rom are you on? the 162 htc/att rom? bcuz i know now i am having a problem i wasnt before. because there is a building downtown that doesnt get cell service in it, and i frequent that building. i never had the issue on my original tilt on the 158 (i believe) rom, but this rma came w/ 162 rom & now im having the issue in that bldg too. which goes to further prove its not the 3g network theory. its just a matter of losing signal & then getting signal back where i am experiencing the issue.
thanks for any help.

Today was day one with the new tilt and it didn't have the problem. However, my old one wasn't consistent one way or the other, either, so I'll have to give the new one some time.
(work for at&t) New phone will not fix this problem, nothin wrong w/ phone. U need to go to a local corp store and change the SIM and get someone who knows what they r doing so they put all of the SIM updates while plugged into the comp. OTA updates will never work w/o these initial updates.
I have an issue where i'm connected to the net (GPRS/hdspa) and occasionally i will lose the connection whislt the connection is still active..
No internet functions will work even when i reconnect
I have to then restart the phone to be able to use the internet again
Not the same issue but something similar
Same problem here. It is not possible to establish a 3G connection. If I set the BAND in the telephone Settings to GSM the connection is stable. If try to establish a 3g connection all further connection trys will fail.
I already changed my Kaiser, it did not help.
Update:
T-mobile will sent me a new sim card. Hope this will help...

Did you go into comm manager to make sure 3G is turned on? It appears you are using Dutty's rom, and as such should have posted this question in there. Anyone who could help you would have seen it in there. and then we wouldn't be frustrated that you created a new thread for this. Which is against the SOP around here.
YEs the 3G is turned ON, and i'm using Duttys rom! :/
Can someone help-me? I have searched a bit and dont have found anything

Well i'm not sure what else would cause you not to get 3G, except maybe a hardware defect, if you changed the band, or perhaps there is no 3G in your area.
To answer your question, if it stays 3G for a couple seconds and goes to G that definately means you DON'T have 3G in your area.

Yeah i haved just thinked on it :/ Its badly
Well i will go to my network providor, to see if they resolve my problem!
Thanks for your time, i will report some news soon
When 3G was first set up in the country where I live, something like that would happen. It seemed to be the network not letting me roam into it because I had a GSM pre-3G SIM card. The problem solved itself when the network provider offically "turned on" it's 3G service. So I believe you might be experiencing a network related problem. Even if there is 3G coverage, your GSM account might not be eligible for 3G service or you might need a newer SIM card.
I am having a very strange issue:
Whenever I am at home, and my G1 is connected via 3G, I cannot use data or make/recieve calls. If I enable the "Use only 2g networks" checkbox, it reconnects via EDGE and works perfectly. I currently have a service request out with TMO which should resolve in the next 24-48 hours, but I was wondering if anyone had heard of this issue.
TMo has no idea why I'm not getting signal, the problem continued even when I reverted to stock "Cupcake".
Things I've tried:
Reverted to stock firmware and unrooted phone (Didn't work; same symptoms)
Call T-Mobile, they removed and re-added me to network. (Didn't work; same symptoms)
Swapped SIM card at T-Mobile store (Didn't work; same symptoms)
T-Mobile service request in my area (Results pending)
Things I am going to try, but haven't yet:
- Return to stock firmware, reinstall CM 4.2.7.1
- Try an older CM like 4.2.4 or 4.2.5
- Connect to WiFi for data connection, see if this replicates the problem as with 3G
- Enable data roaming.
The fact that it only happens at home leads me to believe it's not a problem with the phone, however I'm more than willing to do more to rule it out.
Phone Specs
T-Mobile G1
Firmware Version 1.6
Baseband Version 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I
Kernel Version 2.6.29.6-cm42 [email protected]
Mod Version CyanogenMod 4.2.7.1
Build Number DRC83
Dont tell T-Mo that your rooted thats a big mistake right there, that can be used against you if you ever have to get the phone replaced.Play around with the apn settings and make sure "always on 2G" isnt checked in settings. Maybe your house isnt in the small 3G coverage area, or your phone cant connect to it. Why would you think data and talking at the same time would be possible? Its either you answer or you stop browsing the web.

Yes, thank you, I know not to tell them that, they have zero idea. I also forgot to mention they did swap out my SIM card at the store.
Read what I posted. Turning on "Always On 2G" is the ONLY WAY I can make calls and use data at home. When that isn't on, the phone says it has a 3g connection with four bars, but will not dial out, take calls, or connect to web pages. I've also verified my APN as epc.tmobile.com which is correct, and this affects my voice and data communications.

Try another rom to confirm you cant get 3G, it could also be HW failure.But just try a older cyanogen or something else.Ive cant get a 3G signal with cyanogen roms for long but with a hero rom i seem to get 3G(maybe its my imagination)

It fails on both stock (untouched, unrooted), and CM. I'll try an older CM just in case though.

Rebooted phone between each of these tests:
3G With WiFi enabled: Same result, can't dial out.
Data roaming enabled, Wifi Disabled: No signal at all, 0 bars with "X" symbol.
Stock firmware: 3G won't dial out, forcing 2G works.
Downgraded to CM 4.2.4: Same symptoms.

What ! if you have 3G coverage you can talk and access data at the same time.
That is what 3G provides.

That's not what I'm trying to do! When I am at home, on a 3G connection, I cannot do ANYTHING. That includes text, voice, data, web, ANYTHING. If i force it to use Edge, all services work properly. This is not acceptable. T-Mobile's coverage map lists me as in a strong 3G area. It SHOULD work.
I dont know what to say, except stay on edge, you alreadt sent a req to tmo.
I am having the exact same problem. Would love to learn what you found out.
3G and H are appearing but nothings happening, no activity. This is after a data\cache wipe. Any fix or do I need to flash again?

Check your apn settings. Also, try searching for your network provider.

It's set to orange internet, network provider is set to orange.
dial *#*2263* and make sure all the bands are selected (go under combi bands and select them all). Other than that, not sure.
That's not doing anything on my phone, you sure that works with froyo?
Nevermind, tried sgs tool, all are selected... Still not working..
Ps: swype is awesome.

Get the exact APN name from Orange and make sure it's set for internet.
Sometimes, telcos have multiple APN settings.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
What he said. Sorry I got the code wrong, I was going from memory. Failing that (apn check), you may have to reflash, but I'd see if you can get some insight from someone a little more experienced than me
maybe he updated to froyo and lost his imei
Don't understand why but it appears to be working now, I also tried it this morning with no luck maybe it's due to location, but it was working fine before...
Very strange, will try later today and see if it's still working.
Shortly after getting home, got no service message, after reconnecting to network the 3G connection is dead again.
I'll reflash later, this isnt right..
Exactly the same after being flashed and reseting everything to defaults, this is great.
Last time I touch clockwork recovery.
Can't even make any calls now , either the sim cards messed up or the phone is...
I'm starting to hate this phone.

it depends on what you consider 4g? are you talking about LTE or are you talking about HSDPA/HSPAP? if its LTE it should show up as LTE, but depending on where your located and which HTC one you bought you might not have the bands. if your company has HSDPA the H that shows is normal. H for our phones(atleast on the international version) is a combo of HSDPA and HSPAP which in tmobile USA's eyes is 4g and 4g+. even though technically its 3.5g and 3.5g+. so need a bit more info on your end to get an idea of what SHOULD be happening.
phone model? international? ATT? tmobile? heck sprint?
provider?
maybe country? it seems like your in another country i think?
and if your in the USA then maybe city you live in? cause LTE on tmobile has only rolled out in like 10 cities though ATT has better signal

i live in Hong Kong and LTE support 1800/2600 band, i dont remember the exactly timeline , i just remember when i flashed ARHD , the 4G is still working
but bad reception, so i flashed another few rom until i notice my phone can not get the signal at boot. Thankfully, jaythenut tech me a method to solve the signal problem, but it cannot get the LTE now....very very strange
*#*#4636#*#* paste this in the dialer
Choose the first option in the list that comes up, and see what "preferred network" is set to. If it doesn't say something about "LTE" theres something wrong.

deafult is GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto, and network type is HSDPA
