N1 - No 3G or HSPA! - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi-
I have a Nexus One and I am having a problem where if I am in a location where there is HSPA available, then my phone loses 3G and HSPA connection. My phone has a 3G icon, but in the testing menu it shows that is keeps flipping back and forth between HSDPA and UMTS. Also the up arrow continuously flashes, but I don't receive any data back.
When I leave the area with HSPA service and switch to another tower which has regular 3G then my phone works fine. I figure the issue has to do with my phone missing something or having a corrupted file that is not letting it connect to HSPA service.
My phone had no problem connecting to HSPA earlier this week but all of a sudden I am having problems.
Anyone have any ideas?

I'm on vacation in Fort Collins, CO and have been having similar problems with 3G
only showing the up arrown and never downloading. I got sick of it and switched to EDGE for the time being. My wife has an N1 also and it is doing the same thing, so it looks like it's not the phone. I switched over to CM6 which has the 3G and H indicators and it will only download data with the H never the
3G indicator.

I also have the same problem. When I am on HSDPA my up arrow gets "stuck" and I lose all data connection. Here is a link with others having the same issue. http://forum.androidspin.com/showthread.php?t=2720&page=2

Have a look at your apn settings in menu I had that prob and switched a few this around and got it kinda working
Sent from my Nexus One

my build.prop file was apparently missing the necessary entries in it. I flashed CM6 and now it works again, although my phone now thinks I am in Phoenix instead of Dallas.

Phone was working fine then all of a sudden doesn't work. No change in the settings. Has to be network related.
Starting at around 1AM EST last night 7/11 and running until this moment I have been going back and forth between Service, No Service 3G no 3G, able to place a call and unable to place a call.
My bet is there working on the network with this new HSPA+ roll out. The problem seems to be in markets that are expecting the roll out. I live in Jacksonville Fl. Up until last night I had flawless 3G and Data. It was terribly fast but I had it.
Now over the last 12 hours or so 3g Voice and data has been intermittent with no settings made to the phone.

3G No longer working?

I live in the Chicago area and am testing out AT&T service and the Tilt (thinking of switching from Verizon). Anyway, late last night the Tilt started searching for signal and could not find the Voice or Data network. I tried doing a hard reset... still nothing. When I got up this morning, it was still searching. I tried another hard reset, and now it is able to get on the voice network. The data network is working as well, but only as Edge, as it does not seem to see 3G capabilities anymore.
My question is do you think this is an issue with the radio, the SIM or simply AT&T's network. I was using 3G with no issues since Friday. The phone is brand new and was working flawlessly until last night. I did not perform any tweaks, or install any software other than Flexmail.
Your input is appreciated.

Dont worry, it could be just a network (provider) issue.
I got 3G signal at home, but sometimes (very rare) I got GPRS only
It will be ok
i am in chicago and all of today couldn't get on 3G, I hope it is network because I didn't change anything from when it was working till now
I don't think this is a network problem. For 2 days everything was fine. Now, mine does the same thing as eras2r. Works fine on Edge but when I am on 3G, it not only fails to connect for data, but it also kicks me off the voice network. Takes about 5 minutes or more to reconect. Sometimes it throws me out when 9n 3G area for no reason. AT&T told me to return, but since I was Premiere, I could only do an exchange. Total suck. Hopefully I get my new one and it won't have this prob.
Turns out it was a radio ROM problem. Need to make sure you are using:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Kaiser/Radio/KAIS_Radio_Only_1.27.12.17_CustomRUU.rar
I had 1.27.12.11 and it was killing me, but now all is good in the World!

Help Pls!Can`t connect to network

Hi,
I recently purchased an AT&T Tilt (HTC Tytn II) and unlocked it so that I can use it with the Rogers Network. It worked perfectly for about three weeks then I took it to Orlando for a vacation. While I was there, I change the network setting to manual and connect it to AT&T Roger so that I can use it as a roaming phone. When I got back to Canada, I changed the network detection back to automatic and it connected to Rogers for about 10 seconds then it lost the connection. So for about 10 seconds, it worked but only lasted 10 seconds. I also notice that when it connects it shows E (Edge) as a data connection. After 10 seconds, it changed to 3G. As soon as it changed to 3G, it loses the connection.
I wonder if anyone has this problem. I don`t know if this is because I used it on an AT&T roaming network. I`m very puzzled and any help is greatly appreciated. Thx!
I am having the same problem. I travel to New York quite a bit. My phone would give me a message that it was unable to connect to the GPRS network. So I would go into the Comm manger and deselect the 3g. Then the phone would get a signal. I was not getting a 3g signal, but an edge signal. When I would come home to Ft.Lauderdale the phone would work fine no problems with the 3g till last week.
Soft reset I get the 3g signal 4 bars then it disappears I get no signal ! and then I get an Edge signal in about 5 seconds or so. Everything works but I am unable to get the 3g speed.
If I try to force the phone into a 3g signal by selecting WCDMA on the band I can get a 3g icon. The voice part works fine and displays utms but any time I try to use the data I get some sort of error message. Like dialed "proxy" no response or the remote party would not connect.
Do you think that we might have something corrupting the radio?

My old at&t rom doesn`t give me the option of selecting the band. Maybe I should flash it with HTC rom and at least get the voice part to work. I don`t know if the security scanning machine at the airport will harm the phone in anyway. They always ask us to take out the laptop and camera separately.

Is this normal? Signal Loss

Hi:
I have a Tilt on AT&T's network. Today I was about an hour away from home, and noticed a complete loss of signal. My other phone, a Motorola Razr V3xx, had 3 bars of signal at the same time. I had this same problem in the same rural area before, and just assumed there was nothing I could do about it.
This time though I decided to turn off 3G on the Tilt (since I know it can sometimes interfere with reception), and still nothing. Then I did a soft reset (still had 3G off), and I finally found a signal, as well as the Roaming icon.
Is this normal behavior? The Razr also has 3G, but apparently must switch over to edge when it is in a non-3G area. Why would my Tilt need to be manually reset in order to find a signal?
Thanks!
Hi:
I'd really appreciate any reply
Even if it's to tell me that this is unheard of behavior. My warranty is about to expire, and need to have my phone replaced before it expires if this is a fault unique to my phone.
Thanks again!

I'm not sure why but your phone should have switched automatically. For me, I have my band set to GSM manually.
Are you using usually using 3G with no problem? There's a hardware fault in some devices that will appear about a few months of usage where 3G becomes inoperative. When connected on 3G calls will fail, and one needs to force GSM and reboot to be able to use the phone again. Return to service center needed for repair, mine is there now.
Hi:
Thanks so much for your replies!
I think I probably need a replacement phone, so I guess on Monday I'll call and spend the 15+ hours p) on the phone to AT&T to get a new one, lol.
Kilrah, yes my 3G usually works fine, but apparently when I go into a non 3G area it just loses signal. My phone never really gets great reception anyway, so hopefully the replacement will be an all around improvement.
Thanks again!!

[02 2g/3g] losing 3g signal and does not fall back to 2g/edge?

Hi Guys
well did a search and couldn't find a topic about this, however if there is Sorry.
Anyways got my 02-Uk simplicity yesterday and set 3g and MMS up all fine, and was working fine, however today I came to work which is a bit out in the sticks so hard to get a 3g signal, and because of this i noticed I lost all signal.
after playing around I noticed that switiching it to "2g networks" i managed to get a full edge connection. My question is how come if it loses the 3g connection does it not revert back to a 2g network? I know there is a 2g connection beacuse if i do it manually it works. is there a way to do it automaticly?
also i do have data roaming connection active, and can post my APN details if anyone thinks that will help reslove the issue.
Thanks
matt
Brought mine in to t-mobile to ask the same question. they said just stick to 2g only when you're not in a known 3g area. They also recommended just turning data roaming off
I have the same problem with my Goophone Y6.
2 solutions I know:
1) Flightmode on/off
2) Reboot
This is very anoying, because the bug apperas again. One question: Do you lose signal when you turn your display off or after approximately 5 minutes?

Data connection is suddenly not working

After 2-3 days of not messing with the phone anymore (flashing, putting root apps, etc) my somewhat alright LTE signal has now turned into 3G with no circle around it meaning it's connected to the network, but not actually getting data. It happened while I had the phone in standby for a few minutes, so I can't think of any one app that caused it. Reinstalled rom even after a full wipe.
The strange thing is I will sometimes get a faint signal of 3G which then dissapears within a minute. I did the latest OTA before I flashed my rom so I should have the newest radios and everything. I can't update profile either. My family is getting good signal so I know it's something with my phone. Any ideas?
Happened to me too..I re activated with Hands Free activation to reset the data connection to Sprints network..Only worked twice for me through out the day then the phone was just stuck in the same spot as yours (3G with circle around it). Nothing we did reset the data link to sprints network(cust. svs rep).I brought the phone back to where I bough it and they didn't allow an exchange unless they held the phone over night to test it..I didn't have time for it and everything i hear about the Triband set up Sprint is doing not allowing data while in a call and the growing pains of the network rebuild have worn down on me after 10 years so i had to return the phone and buy it on a network that allowed the phone to operate the way it was meant to..
When I first got the phone, it would hold an LTE signal much better than my m7. Then last night I notice LTE cutting in & out where it was pretty stable before. I check it was trying to connect to Band 26 which is 800 LTE. It might have been from a further away tower. This was the first time I have ever seen Band 26 in my area which is currently being deployed. The constant cutting in & out also drains my battery down. This has nothing to do with my phone but the towers which my home tower has been having issues since last July. For now I set my phone to CDMA only since I have wi-fi at home & work anyway I don't need the phone on LTE. Even when LTE was working on 1900 which was stable, the signal was still pretty week and would drain more batter than a strong 1X signal. Since LTE is data only right now, there is no reason to have the phone prefer LTE when wi-fi is on. With CDMA only it's not bouncing around all over the place.
