Hi folks,
my s730 is continuosly facing issue with the connection to the gsm or 3g network,meaning that, after powering up, it gets connected to the network after 15-20 minutes and then, works for some time and afterwards it looses againg the connection being completely unusable.
I have already sent it to repair twice and it has coming back with the same issue on. Tried as well applying the latest official rom that was supposed to fix this but no luck at all.
So guys i really need your help to find out how to fix it before using my s730 as a snowball against a wall.
Cheers

Hey all,
I've had my TyTn II for a while now and everything's been ok.
I recently upgraded my rom, from an old Duttys rom to a new one, since doing that my phone would not pick up signal at all - I couldn't phone and people couldn't phone me - it looked like my phone had reception but the second I went to call all the bars dropped off.
I posted on here. - It's the radio people assured me. I swapped radios. 1 million times.
Everytime, the 3g would work for a few hours and then the same problem.
I decided it was the rom. I installed a different duttys rom yesterday, and low and behold, the phone worked. Calls, tinterwebs the works.
Got home. Same old problem.
The one thing that links the roms is they're both Windows 6.1.
I'm using a MDA Vario 3 on T-Mobile UK.
Can anyone help me?

If you want to stick with WM6.1 do as follows:
(i hope you've got HARDSPL...)
Run the TriColor mode and install radio same as i do (signature)
when it start to restarts hold the camera button so you can boot tricolor again without loading rom.
Install your favorite ROM,
When everything is configured, run Connection setup again and restart your phone. Test it.
If it still doesent give anything it could problem with some third party apps or your device itself.
You can try my configuration it works perfectly for me.
Cheers,
Chris
Giving that a go today - will chuck you over some $$$ wonga if it works! Thanks.
I hope that everything will work fine for you. Im always happy to help.

Tried - No joy - but thanks - anyone else got any ideas?
I have a similar issue. On my 3rd phone now (Orange) due to phone not connecting in 3g mode to make calls. Seems to be an issue where it fails to switch automatically between GSM and 3G, although it often shows there is a network connection (even though there isn't - really anoying).
However, by turning off hsdpa it finally seems (6 hours or so) to stay connected to the network and able to make calls. Can anyone else with the same problem try this?
I don't enough about hsdpa to understand why having it switched on should make a difference, unless it changes the functionality of the radio. Suggestions welcomed.
You may have a faulty handset.
Exactly the same problem as my friend experienced with his MDA Compact 2. I tried flashing new ROMS and it seemed to fix it but in time he'd begin to suffer from a disappearing signal bar and random dropouts before, during and after calls.
You could try turning your network to GSM only and see if that makes a difference. I'm on T-Mobile and I know that last week I couldn't use my phone in 3G mode for 36 hours or more owing to a network problem in my area, gsm worked fine though.
not convinced about the faulty handset although it is a possibility.
I am starting to think that with the hsdpa enabled it somehow changes the way data and voice calls are handled.
Really could do with some opinions on hsdpa and whether enabling it or disabling it changes the functionality of the phone or the interaction with the networks

Just search a bit in the Kaiser forum, quite a few people (including me) have had similar problems. Radio hardware on some units is faulty and requires return to service center for repair.
The radio starts by not being able to send/receive calls/data on 3G while it still works on GSM, then later GSM will eventually fail too.
T-mobile have had problems with there 3G in the last week in northern Uk. I am still getting a few problems each day as you describe. I dont know, but I am assuming they are doing some repairs

Still, my experience is that there maybe faulty hardware out there, but by disabling hsdpa everything is fine. I'm currently making plenty of calls on 3g network, dowloading lots of data on 3g network. My previous problems were when the handset showed it was connected to the 3g network when it wasn't able to take or make calls or download data. Before, the only thing I had tried was manually selecting GSM in the connection settings.
I'm not saying that disabling hsdpa is a good thing or a solution, just that it might help some smart person to identify what is going wrong.
Any help out there?
Hi everyone,
I was driving from Wash DC to Montreal about 3 weeks ago. Once I got to Syracuse NY my N1 just froze. I took off the battery and then it wouldn't boot. ( I was running frf50 + froyo radio since the first day it was leaked). I thought maybe a routine wipe would fix it. It didn't work. I was out of options and had to wait until I get to montreal to use a laptop and see whatsup. Once in Montreal I downloaded a Rordriguez Froyo and the phone booted up. Now the problem started. Wifi doesn't work. Whenever I turn it on it says unable to scan for networks and then another error pops up saying " Sorry! Activity wifi settings (in application settings) is not responding." I tried a million different roms and radios and the problem persists... Yesterday I flashed another froyo rom and wifi worked and actually connected to my home WLAN. Then suddenly it stopped working again... Can anybody help me? this is so frustrating, especially since I have only 2 bars of EDGE in my basement. I think it might be the Wifi driver that is causing all this. If somebody can link me with the Wifi driver I might be able to fix this problem...
Thanks!
PS: All radio related stuff work ( bluetooth, 3G...)
if you flashed a lot of roms....and it didnt work, chances are its a hardware issue, not a wifi driver issue as thats reinstalled with all roms
Hello there,
As a newcomer, I found out these foruns filled up with great information and guys willing to help, so came here to ask for some help ....I am both excited and dissapointed with my brand new Milestone. Bought the handset about 5 days ago, which came with Android 2.0. Then updated it straight away to version 2.1 via "Motorola Software Update". So far so good ...here´s the problem I am facing :
While connected to wi-fi or 3g(issue is easier to notice due to 3G icon at the task bar, which points out in those small arrows data that is being sent/received) phone stops to receive data out of the blue. All connectios are cut off(it also happens when the handset is locked up). Some basic trouble shooting i did:
- tested all pcs connected to the same wi-fi network. No issues detected for these
- reset wi-fi router configs. Didn´t work
- tried other wi-fi router. Presented same issue
- swapped another carrier chip to test 3g connection. Presented the same issue
- tested my GSM chip on ther phone. Worked properly
- Reset phone to default settings. This time the connection took longer to drop, like 30 minutes, instead of the usual 10 minutes. After the first drop, it´s started behaving the same way again.
It seems pretty much that there an issue going on here (obvious...hehehe). I am considering the following:
- Might be a software issue. So, right now i am downgrading it back to 2.0 version, check if it works properly and then move to 2.1 hopping to get the issue fixed.
- Use retailer warranty and claim for a new phone =/
Could you guys help me out ??
Thanks in advance and Best Regards !!!
Guys, after downgrading version to 2.0, phone stills presenting the same issue. I think it´s turning into hardware issue =/....does anyone have a clue about it?
Thanks and Best Regards!!!
Hi!
For 3 days i have a problem with GSM signal...
It started, when during the call it just interrpupted it and went to home screen with no reason.
From this moment it's permanently looking for a signal - no resets or switching airplane mode on and off help... ;(
sometimes, outdoor, after reset it finds very good signal - max 3G and holds it until next reset... BUT... when i tried to sync weather it doesn't and gsm signal went low. aprrox 5 seconds later went to NO SERVICE...
Anyone knows it? Can You help?
Have the same issue with mine
Device just lost signal - firstly I thought it was because of poor signal quality, however the problem was still there in any conditions (outside building, etc.)
Before that, I had the same problem with Touch HD - had to replace the motherboard (luckily it had warranty) because of the faulty radio module.
Did anybody manage to solve this problem with Diamond?
Thanks!

i have the same problem hope to get it working again :-S
Hi, i have that problem a couple of weeks ago, it was very simple, the contacts of the GSM chip was dirty, y took it out, clean the chip and the contacts and never have the problem again.
Sometimes the most simple things, are the last we think.
Hope this is your problem, much easier than hardware problem.

well, my wifi is acting wierd... reception is good and it doesn't disconnect too often, theres just this little anoying thing!
everytime roughly 3-4 days after i flash a new rom my wifi simply refuses to connect to network, and not a specific one, any network at all!
and it stays like this for a couple of hours and then all of a sudden it picks up a a networks and it works fine for a while, untill i happens again...
i've tried restarting and taking out the battery and turning the wifi off for a while, nothing seems to help, he just decides on his own when he is whilling to connect again....
if i flash a brand new rom the problem disapear for a few days but then it comes back... i'm assuming it has to do with some sort of a cache that is filling up with loads of crap and ruining the wifi activity but i tried googling for this and found nothing..
ideas anyone? (btw this happens on all roms: stock, existenz, beanstalker etc...)
its a hardware problem and not so uncommon look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2531711
if you can take it to a customer support and if you cant sell it and again if you cant, then just get along with no wifi/bluetooth/NFC check all of them you should have problem with them too

absolutly not related, my NFC and bluetooth works just fine, i don't need to press hard anywhere...
and my wifi works just fine after a fresh rom install... so it's defenetly a software problem...

to me that sounds like the start of it because mine was the same at the first few days flashing a new rom or something would help alot but then i just found out the only thing that was helping it to get fixed was the heat from the device not the rom, but it doesnt hurt to play around with it a little so go ahead and try some other roms or repairs.
you see good reception for wifi
you try to connect
at the authorizing or connecting you will see only one point of signal and connection would kinda like disappear.
this is how it was for me but at the first days it was random it was connected good and ready, when i would left the phone in stand by after a few minutes it would DC, so i thought its kind of a sleep mode malfunction or something but after a few days almost 1-2 weeks it turned out to be hardware problem like ohers so if you see any symptom like that start looking for service centers.
but i hope it would be a software problem for you, so good luck.
Well, once he connects he stays on for days, no problem there... Just sometikes he refuses to connect... Pressing the nfc button doesnt help...

What Wi-Fi channel is your network on and have you tried 5GHz?
Didn't look into those things, but it happens with all networks except ones without passwords
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk
Have you tried deleting wpa_supplicant.conf in data/misc/wifi and reconnecting to the network? (this will delete all saved passwords and settings for known wi-fi networks) also try to disable Auto IP in advanced wi-fi settings
Well the phone is qith my sister now, I got a new z1 so far wifi worka for her, it stoppes for a few hours yestarday but came back, I might try to flash. 310 and see if it works better with it. And the Wapa_sup sounds like a good idea. Btw z1 is also jittering some with wifi, it's a global Sony problem...

temp solution?
Well, it is probably a hardware problem. I have had the same problem, everything looks fine, but you can't connect to any network.
So, searched, reinstalled, etcétera, nothing worked. Untill I read a crazy solution link://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z-ZL-ZR/xperia-zr-wifi-association-rejected/td-p/516275/page/4
and found out that if you put pressure on the back of your pone right at the NFC chip, with a finger or so, the Wifi will come alive again.
Personally I had to hit my pone's back at that exact spot with my finger (for not damaging it with excesive force) a few times, but then suddenly it worked.
So, I am convinced it's a hardware problem. Hope it works for other people too.
