3G Radio activity - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I am having some issues with the 3G connection with my Dream that started a few weeks ago. There are times when it works just fine and I am able to use apps/maps/browser with no difficulty what-so-ever. Then out of no where it will stop working. I will have 3 or 4 bars, and it says I am connected at 3G, but only outgoing ('Up') arrow on the status bar lights up, while the incoming ('Down') arrow will not light up at all. Then finally after various wait times (2 to 10 minutes) the '3G' will disappear and light back up as if the radio is resetting and will work again for a few minutes before repeating the same process over again. If I enable the 2G only connection it works just fine. I do not see any pattern or correlation to this disconnect. I have tried wiping, reformatting the SD and re-flashing my phone with no help...
Any ideas? TIA
ROM: Cyan 4.0.4 Stable

Try airplane mode when this problem occurs.

You mean enable airplane mode and then disable it again to reset the connection? I just tried it...did not help. Still sending information out but not downloading anything in return...

it could be your phone
but also it could be 3g service in your area.. it could be unstable or weak..
i.e. i get terrible 3g service in my nearest mall,but 2g works fine.
but in my house my 3g service is almost perfect.

R u using a datasim or not??
Check with ur telecom operator. Sometimes u need to be using a data only sim to be using 3g on the g1. It happened to me. Otherwise there might be some apn settings wrong or missing.

Thanks for the reply guys. I thought it could be the 3G in my area but I have had my phone for well over 6 months now and it has worked great at my house. I know t-mobile is still working on their 3G roll-out so it could be that as well. I really hope it is not my phone but with my luck...who knows...
As far as the datasim, I am not sure. Like I said, I have had my phone for 6+ months and 3G used to work just fine. Is there any way I can tell by looking at my T-mobile SIM to see if it is a datasim or not?

My G1 is doing the same thing!
I am in Atlanta and i have been noticing the same exact problem. I am also noticing that i am suddenly getting mobile versions of websites that i usewd to always get the full web version. I am on cyan 4.1.7. Not sure if it is the rom or the service but nonetheless i am experiencing the exact same problem.

Weird stuff... I am in Los Angeles in case people are wondering.

if you want to take more precautions..
u can go to a corporate tmobile store and ask them to replace your sim card. its just something basic. some sim cards go bad. i had to replace mine twice.
if you go to a booth in the mall or whatever they may charge u $25. in a corporate store,its usually free.
or you can call tmobile and ask them to take off your data plan and then add it cak on again.. this again is a basic troubleshoot for data related problems..
and if it is your phone(i assume you bought ur phone from tmobile) you should have a 1 year warranty. tmobile might exchange or call htc... all you really have to do is pay shipping.

Awesome, thanks for your help. I have had to replace my SIM card a couple of times as well with previous phones but that was due to MMS problems. I didnt think of 3G/SIM problems but I hope that is it. Thanks again!!

I went to the T-Mobile store today and they said that a lot of people have come in with the same problem. So apparently it is a problem with the 3G network here in Southern California (at least the area I live in). I am grateful it is not my phone or the ROM but still kinda ticked off I gotta deal with it until the issue is resolved...

whenever this happens.. it usually means that ur in an area that has weak 3g. i.e. i get weak 3g service in my nearest mall.
or ur areas 3g network is bugging up. but most likely its the first one ^

im having the exact same problem. been having it for a week or so. i thought maybe it was a bug in cyans roms but its not. i will lose 3g connection but i have a full connection and only the uplink arrow is on. this is really pissing me off. i live in los angeles and its been having 3g for a while now and i have never experoenced issues like this with 3g

Lose signal and doesn't come back ?

Often times I have noticed with my Tilt that I will lose the signal (simply by hitting a dead spot in the service), and it will not come back until I do a soft reset. First, it shows the indicator that it is looking for a signal, but after about 10 seconds it switches to an indicator with an exclamation point, showing no signal. It never regains a signal after that. Once we get to a place where I know AT&T service works, I will check my wife's phone at that very moment, and she has full signal. We're both on AT&T btw. I know it's not the service, cause her phone never does this. If she hits a dead spot, as soon as we're out of it her phone picks service right back up. I have the stock AT&T ROM that shipped with my Tilt.
Anyone have any ideas why it quits looking for a signal after it loses it?

Ive noticed the same thing.
Not sure of why this happens, but did find an easier work-around than soft reset.
If you go into your phone options, under the Network tab, you can manually tell the phone to search for the network.
I've also had that problem.
I'm not sure wich fix is faster, but using the Wireless Manager to turn the phone off and then back on also takes care of the problem.
hey, i also have that problem.. i'm using a tilt with one of dutythroys roms, with the new .17 radio.. thought maybe that was the problem cuz i never really noticed it with the .11 radio. btw, you dont need to soft reset, just give it a minute or two and it'll come back
omar
I noticed that after messing with KaiserTweak and enabling HSDPA. I live in Minneapolis where HSDPA is now enabled. However, I frequently travel west towards Alexandria, and once I leave the metro area, no HSDPA. If I don't go into the comm manager and disable 3G, I have no phone service at all. Once I disable 3G, I regain phone service.
Ok good, so I'm not the only one.
Thanks for the tip about turning the phone on and off in wireless manager, rather than doing a soft reset. That is, indeed quicker. However, we shouldn't have to do that at all.
I've noticed this a lot when driving home from work. I'm thinking that it's probably because at work I'm in a 3G area, and on the way home I lose it. Is there anyway to disable 3G altogether? Or does anyone know of a tweak that will keep the phone continuously searching before it gives up?
I have that same problem with my TILT, but I also had it with the 5150. It's been around for a while.
Bump again. C'mon people - you gotta give us something. Is no one else having this problem?
For the record, I didn't have this problem with the stock HTC ROM on a different phone.
Having this problem sometimes on a T-Mobile Vario 3, although mine seems to not recognise the sim card after it looses signal. I had thought it related to the phone being cold...
I have the same problems but only with 3G on. When I select GSM only no problems at all. I updated to .17 and wonder whether that's the problem since I don't recall any issues with .11
Thank the lord I thought it was just me. I made a thread about my blue tooth causing it but I realized it is my drive home that does it. I hit an area with no 3G and it goes out.
I have the 10 button comm manager installed and was wondering if that was the culprit. It is weird because EDGE will switch to GSM OR GPRS (not sure the correct name) when 3G is off but 3G will not switch to the others. Does anyone without the 10 button wireless manager have this issue.
Had similiar issues while traveling in certain parts of southern China. Try upgrading the radio from ver. 1.27.12.11 to 1.27.12.17. Follow this link for more info...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349528
I am redoing the phone back to the stock condition of how it arrived. I will tell you if it goes back to normal for me.
I will update you tomorrow becuase it is a certain part of downtown Houston that cuases it to go out .
I put the original OS/ROM I am not sure what you call it. For the first time in a long time it switched from 3G to EDGE. I wonder how many of us complaining have the 3G ten button communication manager. I will let you all know more tomorrow after my drive home from work.

can everyone who has this problem start posting their Radio Versions ... please
I used to have this problem with the Tmobile SDA (at that time it was driving people nutts) and that phone did not even have 3G. I did experience the same problem with Tilt (on tmo sim) Radio Version .11, and since tmo usa does not have 3G anyways, I just changed my phone band to GSM and the problem does not exist anymore.
Radio 1.27.12.11
Protocol 22.45.88.07H
in German o2 and T-Mobile network, problem persists after repair trial of HTC.
So 24 hours after redoing the phone back to its original state the 3g problem is gone. I watched it switch from 3G to edge to G all in 24 hours. I will keep you posted if it stays this way.
So basically the big change I had was removing the 10 button comm manager.
I was having a problem that I think is similar, or the same. When I travel from Edge to G my phone will ring and it indicates "connected" but I can't hear the person and they can't hear me. I soft-reset and the phone works again, until I travel back from G to Edge. I ended up reflashing to the original HTC Shipped ROM and I am waiting to see the results.
I am not sure of my radio version when it was flaky. I am using 1.27.12.11 now.
I've noticed the problem described in the original post maybe three times since I bought my TyTN II late in September. It's always been when I'm travelling that this happens. Fortunately I've not missed any calls as a result and switching to 'Flight Mode' and back to 'Phone' in Comm Manager (the standard HTC version) works around it for me. All a very standard setup here so I don't think the problem is a result of any customisations (although I do have HSDPA enabled in settings).

Signal keeps going in and out

Device: Tilt
Carrier: AT&T
ROM: Duttys_WM6.1_Official_5.2.19209_1_58_16_27
Have been running this rom for a couple of weeks with no problem. All of the sudden yesterday I noticed signal kept coming in and out, wasn't able to make or receive calls. Since then, I've tried a couple of diff ROMs, diff radios, and for some reason it just doesn't seem to catch a consistent signal. Signal keeps jumping from 3G to EDGE to having nothing. When I try to make a call or go online, signal just goes dead.
Any suggestions onto what could this be?
Thanks
same issue here....in NYC
i'm having the same issue.
if you switch the band signal (click on the phone icon on the top..then go Bands tab) to GSM. all is well. you will no longer rotate b/w EDGE and 3G when trying to make calls/internet. but when you revert the setting back to Auto, the phone may work for a short time while it still thinks its under EDGE. then when it senses 3G network available, it will try to connect to that signal and disconnect both your voice and data. i'm in New York City, so trying to get on 3G network is not an issue.
ive had this issue for about a week now thinking my setting got all messed up somehow. i've reflashed my tilt to the original ATT ROM from the HTC ATT ROM update from one of Dutty's ROMs. still doesn't work. i'm starting to think the 3G chip is fried...
AT&T technicial support can't help either. the guy i had on the phone said there was a 3G tower literally a block away...
might have to call warranty to get it exchanged...
does anyone else have any ideas why this does this?
Change the radio and see if this helps. I keep a copy of all 6.1 radios on my phone so I can flash on the go for the best signal possible.

If that is the case, then I would definitely call your service provider and see if they are having issues.

haha... yeah, thats kinda what i figured. so now im "3G-less". im on EDGE only like my old blackberry... at least i have wifi, gps, camera in one device unlike any current BBs out there... still kinda sucks. ill give ATT-tech a shot anyway...
So, I called AT&T yesterday... was on the phone for a couple of hours with NO RESULT! They did they all the towers are working around my area with no problem though... i think it might be what finaldock said, "3G might be fried"
Any suggestions anyone?
Oh yeah, I'm running the ROM below now... still w/the same problem.

Phone continously disconnects and loses signal if 3g is on

Hey guys, I have this prepaid ATT pay as you go simcard with the medianet unlimited on and the phone goes into a continuous disconnect and reconnect with the 3g signal if I have 3g enabled in the connection manager. If I turn off 3G then it works just fine and sticks with an EDGE connection. Is there something that I am doing wrong? I checked the connection settings with another friend who uses 3g from att as well and settings are the same. I have also resetted the phone multiple times too.
Oh and the phone I have is the ATT Tilt running Hyperdragon's most recent rom.
I'd try swapping SIM with your friend and see if it works for both of you that way. If the Kaiser still can't connect to 3G, you might want to try another ROM, if to no avail you might have the broken 3G radio problem.

Yes, a lot of people including me had to send their Kaiser for a mainboard exchange for that same problem.
Here's the old thread about it I found when I had the problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335074
Yes, it's a hardware problem. Seems to be fairly common. My TytnII had the same problem.
I had to send it off for repair last Monday. They sent me a replacement phone on Wednesday.
Oh great, I bought this phone a while back from someone else and was using it with Tmobile and am trying it out with ATT prepaid. So I guess I am not covered and am stuck with a phone with a broken 3g radio?
First try the steps described above, sometimes configuration/ROM trouble can make it look similar.
I tried calling support and talking with them and nothing really worked. They said I would have to do warranty exchange through HTC. They said that all they would need is a credit card number and they send the new one first and I have to send back the broken one and I won't be charged if there is no water damage or too many drops right? Do they send you a completely new device? I have kept this phone inside a microfiber pouch its whole life and there are literally no scratches anywhere and a screen protector on it since day 1. It seems to work fine when on the EDGE network, so should I send it back? I don't want to get charged for anything.
I have the same problem... it started with the stock ROM, I have tried four different ROMs, five different radios, even tried reverting to the 6>0 ROM thiking it was a 6.1 glitch, and nothing worked. I get EDGE just fine, but if I switch to 3G, I get a signal for maybe 30 seconds and then lose it.
Lucky for me, my warranty expired. However, AT&T is supposedly releasing the Diamond soon, I thnk I'll plod along until then.

Man I wish I had the money to switch devices like that. Being a college student means no money.

No service?!?!

Hey folks, so this just happened today...
I'm getting the "x" over my service bars, then when I try to search available networks, t-mobile and at&t show up, I try to connect (register) with t-mobile and it says "Sim card does not allow a connection to this network." But last I checked, my sim card says T-Mobile on it!!!!
This happened from one minute to the next. Was talking on the phone, hung up, tried to make another call, and bam! no service. Tried rebooting a couple times, same thing. 4th time i rebooted, it worked! For a few minutes. Then it went back to the "x" and the same message about the sim when trying to connect manually.
By the way I have [ROM]TheOfficial DONUT TMO US/EU & AOSP-1.6_r1.4(dream/sapphire32B)[11/1/09]-v2.1.2, The TMO OTA DRC83 US.
It's rooted, as well.
Any ideas?
have you tried turning of 3g?
mine drops out on 3g and doesnt reconnect untill i turn it off.
but i am cm 4.2.3.1
sorry no ideas but the exact same thing happened to me! I'm on Cyans 4.2.3.1 and i just lost my network completely. i rebooted and nothing. so i tried to flash again, and nothing! now i'm stuck at the beginning where i have tap the android and blah blah blah i can't connect and it says i don't a network connection. this sucks balls. at least i know i'm not the only one
actually there is a global outage with T-Mobile’s voice service. They are aware of the problem and are trying to fix. They say it can take up to 24 hours to get the system back up.
A lot of people are having issues today. So dont worry guys, its NOT rom related...

be patient, us t mobile-ites are screwed until its fixed...
on tmobile usa and not working too, in seattle.
i just noticed this about 10 mins ago.
Same issue here in Florida
yeah, i'm in seattle too.

Voice and 2G/3G connection every now and then falls away.

Voice and 2G/3G connection every now and then falls away.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have the following problem.
Hi I have a plan with extra fast with endless online. But every now and then suddenly falls away and my connection voice and 2G/3G can I just restore it in airplane mode to turn back and pick up.
Are there more people with same problem? I have an G1. The SIM card only 8 weeks old.
I like to hear from you.
I have experienced this before also.
Happens to me fairly often too.
Exactly just had this happen to me today while in the grocery store. Rebooted and it was back, but still weird.
I actually used to have that problem too, where data just went away. Rebooting worked, but then one day a reboot didn't work, next day I got 3g. Then I decided to go to hero roms and haven't had the problem since, so I think that hero does something that fixes the network
Sometimes i go from a 3G to G then ut decides to go to edge.There are even times when it doesnt connect to data at all.
you go in and out of coverage area's and that's what happen's, t-mobile's 3g network isn't as expansive as they'd have you believe, plenty of pockets/holes throughout, even in places where it should be all 3g.
how is this post not moved/deleted/flamed yet for being in the dev's section :-D

Yeah, but I mean that I would have data then it would turn off and it would turn back on in the same place after a reboot.
And I think most of us just finally gave up on keeping questions out of the development sections, it is a lost cause. At least for me it is
Well yes staying on tmo might as well be a lost cause...i struggle to stay on 3G and even on data period, i doubt verizon or sprint would give me these troubles...
It's not a coverage problem, It can happen at the top floor of my school where usually I would have full bars, and as said it's fixed by switching into Airplane mode and then back to normal mode.
I think it happens when it's in my pocket and the coverage strength goes up and down a lot, maybe it gets a bit confused lol (Although it didn't happen on the stock firmware, running Cyanogen 4.2.7.1)
Its not only T-mobile, I too have that problem that too being in India on Airtel Also had these problems at National Roaming... Means When I was Out of local Network too... So its not the Problem of Coverage...
There's an open bug for this particular problem
Cf:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2845
I've had this problem since day one on my G1, it doesn't matter what ROM I'm running, it even did it with the stock ROM.
It seems Android isn't so great at reconnecting you to the network once you've lost signal. Ideally you need a process running in the background to reconnect you - think 'No Signal Alert' in the market with an option to scan for networks then reconnect you.
I've got a shortcut on one of my home screens to the network operators scan page as I have to do this most days
Good old T-Mobile coverage..
Well with the rumors of Sprint and T-Mobile merging hopefully they will band together and give us better coverage. 3G and or 4G all day and all night would be HUGE!!!
If any big CEO's is reading this from either of these companies, PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!

HA Ha Ha Ha............ NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!!!!
We would never ever take that network over....Ours maybe spotty but we WILL have the fastest 3G Network................4G is a joke...if you look at the fine print 4G is their goal but isn't even possible yet....DT (t-moble Mother company) over seas was looking into buying sprint but they're in way too much debt....issues from this post sounds like simcard or issues with the IHLR (our backdoor) so call t-mobile to make sure it cannot be fix on our end or... it can be a bad radio download or flash...I have 1 bar on 3G and 2 on edge but i have never had the issues stated in this post so coverage is not it!!! hope this helps!
I also have issues with signal being dropped or getting hung. My G1 will be sitting in the same place for an hour or longer and sometimes it just stops transfering data. I'll check it by going to the market and it can take a few min before anything happens. Sometimes when I download an app from the market it will take up to 5 or 10 min to see anything transfer. I haven't noticed any issues with taking or making calls but data transfers are touch and go. Now sometimes I won't have a problem all day then the next day...in the same spot with great coverage....data transfers just seem to be sketchy. I don't know if it's t-mobile or the roms but something is quirky.

I also have issues with signal being dropped or getting hung. My G1 will be sitting in the same place for an hour or longer and sometimes it just stops transfering data.

Actually i have seen that happening with the market too but only with a theme added to the rom...must be something with background data transfers and the theme using too much memory....but is not an issue at all on non rooted phones....i checked at work!!!
curious
