Wireless Network Question - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I figured this would be the right place to ask this, although it's more of an Android OS question than a Dream specific question, but...
So whenever I lose signal to the cellular network, my phone doesn't auto-refresh/search for signal even when I'm in a location where I know I'm getting full signal. Everytime I lose the signal I have to manually search for a network operatore. Is this a problem with the OS? My specific phone perhaps? Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

HAve u updated to the newest radio? What rom and spl r u using?

I've been on the newest radio for quite some time. Currently on the haykuro SPL and using Cyanogen 4.0.2. as my ROM. I've also had this problem when I was previously using JF builds on HardSPL

Bump! Anything?

Does the problem occur as soon as a new rom is flashed, or after you have at some point manually set the network through settings? What carrier are you trying to use it on? What carrier was your phone intended for?
BTW you might want to try a subject more fitting for what you are asking. The post is about cellular connectivity problems rather than "wireless network" which implies it is 802.11b/g related.

The problem seems to persist no matter what ROM I'm using. I always have to specify my carrier in the mobile networks settings, T-Mobile, when I lose signal. I'm using the G1 on the T-Mobile network for which it is meant. I just titled it "Wireless Network" Problems b/c the settings are found under the Wireless Netowrk section of Settings

Reception full but still not receiving calls!!!

Like the title says... I have full reception but many people have told me that when they call its like my phone is off!! I just tested it and its true.
Wondering if anyone else having this problem... Is this a radio ROM problem...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
what type of connection you have ?
Would be good to know if you could use 3G and what kind of radio / os rom you are using. Personally I had the same problem, but could fix it by using just GSM (phone settings) and/or using a newer rom.
re
Hi,
I have the exact same ROM, Radio and protocol version as you... I have just switched it to GSM only in the phone setting, I hope this works!!
I had the same problem... i noticed it was ok when i switched over to 2G... Spoke to T-mobile and they said it was the 3G receptions... they told me to keep it on 2g (unless i wanna do data) for the moment until they can improve the network...
sorry if im being silly here, but how do you switch it yo 2g? used to be in the comm manager on my hermes?
start -> settings -> phone -> band -> network type = GSM

top man , now just waiting for the day custom comm managers are available
this is absolutely ridiculous,
i get this problem too
i cant tell in advance whether this fauilt is going to affect me,
i need my phone to ring when people call me!
what am i supposed to do, go through this huge palaver of switching to gsm whenever i finish doing any data work?
wtf?!!!
If your phone is transmitting data and you are not in 3G then they will get your voicemail when they call.
3G allows for both voice and data at the same time, older methods do not. Try using Band Switch or some program like that to close down your data connections when they aren't in use.

ATT tilt has no signal in 3G area

hello all, this is my first post here.
I do NOT have a data connection package on this phone (i don't know if this effects it or not), but whenever i go into a 3G area my phone loses signal and gets none whatsoever. I only get signal where there is an Edge connection. I purchased this phone used so there is no warranty or anything. Ive taken it to [email protected] and they say that the only thing i can do is buy a new phone , but i love my phone. Is there anything i can do to fix this?
Flash a different ROM. My roms in the sig are TILT roms and will work in 3G and HSPA using ATT in Houston. Just make sure you get the connection settings right. The problem with your connection cutting out has to do with a combo of the ROM and the radio.
what are the right connection settings? and do i need a new radio? which radio would work?

Go here. And read the Guides section for the radio and how to flash, most roms require you flash the stock one on there first so go to HTC->support>choose your product->download the latest rom image, it should be like 119mb or bigger. For the settings, do a search on here for ATT connection cab. it will set up the connection without you doing anything. if you can't find it I'll see if my friend can post it somewhere.

Wireless Internet not receiving data?

So I recently had to flash a new radio to work with Cyanogen 6, I've flashed Radios before so I know the ropes, but now I have connection and a full signal but it isn't receiving data, it's only displaying the up arrow when I'm trying to access the internet. I'm kinda worried.
Mine did the same thing and I'm on T-mo US. Check the APN you probably need to edit it.

Why im Roaming with AT&T phone + BELL / TELUS SIM

Hi,
I would like to be able to modify my AT&T radio and change the default Mobile Network Code for my carier, is there any software to make easy to modify the ROM file ?
Thank
I'm not quite sure I understand what you're asking, but a radio will work on various different networks, depending on which SIM card you have in the phone. So I'm not sure that it's in the radio that you need to look.
What is it that you're trying to achive exactly, why do you want to change this code ?
Well, here is my problem;
I bought a Tilt 2 on ebay, and I also get an Unlock code for it. I have inserted my Bell SIM and the phone work correctly. I have configured the APN setting correctly and now I have internet without any problem.
The only bad thing is that the phone always think i'm in roaming, but that's not true. I have to deactivate all setting about roaming check, it's not a big thing but If I got to USA I will be charged for real roaming. and another downside is that many application pup info about roaming and data charge.
I'm searching since couple days to found a solution, and I'm pretty there is one but I have not enough knowledge on programming stuff. I've look all every registry in my phone and no one can't correct this ''roaming'' situation.
That's why im turning to Radio, since this phone is an AT&T, it's propbably seaching to compare SIM network provided and ROM network. I've found an interesting site about MMC/MNC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code
and found that the default network for AT&T is 310-410. Here in Canada We have bell and telus that use same technology then AT&T (UMTS 850 / UMTS 1900).
I would like to change the default ''home'' network code to 302-880. because my Sim Provided IMSI is 302-610 (Bell).
So to make it short. I want to change the default ''HOME'' network 310-410 to 302-880 so the phone will not be in a roaming profile.
Hope that someone can help me, and I'm pretty sure many people will appreciate this fix.
Thank You.
I don't know much about this, but surely it's your SIM card that is providing this code ? Since I could buy an unlocked Tilt 2 and put my own SIM card in it, and use it fine here in the UK on a UK network.
I can't believe that your phone thinks it's roaming just because it's a Tilt 2.
Yes, I found in my registry ProvidedIMSI="302610" that is the SIM registred network 302610 Bell HSPA network. So my SIM is telling the phone to use this network, but there is something in the phone that say it's roaming and not a home network. and I need to find and change this.
I'm not the only one in this situation and i would like to find a fix.
i have no knowledge about this only thing i can think of at the moment is just change the current radio version and flash a new rom. the latest version for radio is
4.49.25.95
and is found here ------> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549939
follow the right steps. [:d]
best of luck
Yes, I've updated the Radio to the latest version and still have the problem of ROAMING. i've try 2 old radio and always got the roaming icon.

Thanks

I read somewhere that roaming starts when you are out of your area code range.
But you can try this too
go to ------> setting ---> personal ------> phone -------> Network (in the bottom tabs)
In the network tab click Find Network and make sure it is the same network you are using.
Network selection should be "Automatic".
Now in next tab BAND
select network type to "GSM" and GSM/UMTS band to "Auto".
Try this and let me know if this work else i will ask somebody knowledgeable like Sir Phunkee

I've play with these setting and nothing seem to work.
But maybe I found something interesting.
I've just test the phone with a ROGERS SIM card and I get 3G signal and i'm NOT in roaming mode..
Now, What that mean ? Rogers 3G is UMTS/HSPA 850/1900MHz same as BELL.
Why it say Roaming when phone is connected to BELL with BELL Sim and not on ROGERS SIM??
Could someone help me with that ? fix, cab, anything ?
Thanks
rooming
Hi
I do not know think you want to do with your tilt 2
Why you don't do a hard SPL and install a cocked rom !! as energy
I am using a tilt purchased from AT&T without contract
I get a unlock cod from the internet then I do a hard SPL it and install the energy rom in, is work like a charm with Rogers, without any problem( only the gps wish I never try
Perhaps this is can resolve your problem you should try
thanks
Already done Cjoco My Tilt 2 is Unlocked and Hard-SPL with latest EnergyROM.
Like I said before, SIM ROGERS work like a charm in my phone, No roaming warning. but with BELL and TELUS SIM I get the Roaming notif but it's not true, Im connected to BELL and VOICE,DATA,etc. work #1.
People say that it work with ROGERS because this carrier have a fallback signal if 3G is not available, with BELL if I lose 3G signal my phone doesn't work.

then i think problem is with your sim card not with your phone. Just get your sim card replaced and i am sure the problem would be resolved.
the problem may be with his sim card, but im not sure replacing it will fix anythibng. im also with bell and have the same problem on my fuze.
bios2k, how old is your sim card?
bobzero My SIM card is 2 Week Old. so, i'm not sure it because my SIM is old.
I'll give a call at tech support @ BELL to see if they know why it doing this. I'm not sure if they will be enough good to explain this situation.
I've read last night on many forums the RILPHONE.DLL could be a possible cause of our problem.
In my config I can select GSM(850,1700) + UMTS(850,1700) but there is no option to select UMTS only. so maybe the phone is searching for GSM first (rogers) that's why when I insert a ROGERS SIM my phone is not roaming.
Is there a way I can extract RILPHONE.DLL for our EnergyROM or Stock Tilt 2 rom. Maybe I can ask a Programmer to take a look at this DLL to see the code.
I'll let you know.
I've just talk with BELL technical support and they have no idea why I'm the phone say it's in ROAMING. I've talk to the billing department and they say I don't have any ROAMING fees, so nothing to worry about..
Now, I'm still at the same state = no solution
Same here.
I was checking around and found many got this problem, including BBs. Now, some claimed that after upgrading the O/S for his BB, it went away. Another person with different device upgraded his O/S and started having that problem, and it wasn't there with stock ROM.
Make me think it has to do with the software side of thing and nothing to do with SIM or radios. To pinpoint what is causing it, can be a tough task though.
scooper True, Hard task for people that don't know much about programming ROM and files, but maybe we can have help from other that wanna look at our problem.
I'm available to test if someone want to Help us .

You should try to change the radio and rom of your phone. Make sure to Task 29 b4 flashing. Another thing to make sure is you use the right radio, i mean the specific radio for telus, t-mobile or att.....
Wrong radio can also cause such problems.
I have the same issue with my Unlocked Tilt2 on Telus. I found a lot of people with unlocked winmo devices on bell/telus complaining of this problem and never have seen a solution. People say that a Fido sim will do the same thing. Only Rogers sims seem to not show roaming. PLEASE post if you find the solution or even cause of this.
I just did task29 and reflash ROM. I soon as I have the main menu Roaming Icon appear on top just beside or 3G.
Damn!! still stock with this roaming issue
anyone have Q's ?

[Q] CM9 Roaming issue

Hi All,
Here's my roaming dilemma. There's an R beside the signal frequency and it won't go away.
Relevant information;
I have recently switched from CM7 to CM9 for the captivate. i'm using the latest version (14). from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363760
I'm on a Canadian network with a company called Fido, which is owned by Rogers. My APN is set to "Fido Default" and my network is Rogers. this would NOT be roaming since it's the same company.
i ran the phone info using *#*#4636#*#* and it says "Roaming: Roaming" essentially the roaming is ON.
After this i downgraded back to CM7 and tried running the same options. the result was identical. APN is "Fido Default", network is Rogers BUT in phone info it says "Roaming: not Roaming". Essential the roaming is OFF, which is correct, there was never an "R" beside the signal strength in CM7.
Can anybody please help me, i'm not sure if there's a setting that i'm missing or dont know about. or this could possibly be just a bug with CM9.
Since i'm new to this forum i don't have my min 10 posts to post in the development side so i've had to post here.
If there's any more details that you need me to check to give you the relevant info plz let me know and i will get hat asap.
thx
EK
I wonder if it is just a quirk in how it recognizes the network. I have an AT&T Microcell and, while it shows my carrier as "Microcell" on Samsung-based ROMs, it just shows "AT&T" on CM7 and CM9. Not the same issue, of course, but there is apparently some control in the ROM or kernel on how networks are displayed. If you don't get any hits here, report it in the CM9 forum once you have enough posts and see if anyone has any ideas.
well my phone is originally AT&T, and when it turn on the AT&T logo and everything is still there. so it could be still a weird way it recognizes it.
fixed. figured out all i needed was a new modem.

Care to share which modem you found that works with CM9 and the ATT Microcell?
