Call Quality - T-Mobile 3G Nexus One On AT&T (Edge) - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I switched from T-Mo to ATT so I am on edge. I have been experiencing where who ever im talking with cannot hear me. It happens randomly no matter where I am, even in areas were my signal is -50dbm to -60dbm. My phone is rooted and i currently have radio 4.06 but have tried 5.xx. it doesn't matter the rom i use either. Is there any betther Radio to install that would help in this matter? I live in austin texas and the coverage here is really good, I had a mytouch unlocked on at&t and never had this issue with Edge. The only fix is to reboot the phone and call them back and they can hear me fine.
Thanks,

dropped calls

Does anyone have the same problems with the breeze that when you make a call it can drop it with no warning show "No service" and suddenly get it back straight away?
i have radio 1.38 installed, using a ORange UK 3G PAYG sim in a full coverage 2G area and 1-2 bars 3G area.
i have tried to set the thing to GSM only and 3G only but this doesn't solve it. has anyone......anyone out there figured a way to sort this?
or does anyone know of the possibility of getting a replacement from HTC that works?
cheers to anyone who can help

Same problem here, with Orange also, although on contract with them.
Please let me know if you find a solution. I emailed HTC, which I already know you have done, and you have had a replacement handset. This is not a good start for me
I had the best luck with my Sony Ericsson K610i. It was the best 3G Bluetooth Modem ever.. shame no Exchange ActiveSync/DirectPush
I have exactly same problem. Phone calls are dropped with no services message. And I have to restart phone at least once a week because my phone will fail to find any network. After reboot it works fine for a while. I have latest firmware with 1.38 radio. Phone is from O2 CZ.
Hi guys,
did you try to switch from 2G and 3G connection to 2G only? I assume this problem is caused by the network coverage while the Breeze is switching from 3G to 2G and vice versa. Me and some friends (Vodafone and T-Mobil) didn't discover these kind of problems.....
Cheers
Michael
Yes, I did it. But I still have to restart phone every week because phone lost signal.
I'm thinking about to flashing newer radio.
Hmm, we are using this version: "MTeoR_Upgrade_1.34.251.1_1.38.00.10_EUR_SHIP.exe" and it works well......

Poor voice clarity

I have been using the 8925 for about 3 weeks now. On occasion, my phone will act as if I have a weak signal. Choppy voice etc., on both ends even when connected to a landline. The signal strength will usually have at least 2bars, W/ 3G displayed. The phone will play audio & video W/ out chopping or skipping and this doesn’t always occur in the same area, so I'm unsure what would be causing this. Any comments or advice (pertaining to my issue ), would be greatly appreciated.

what network are you on are u using a sim or a usim
how old is your sim
do you have a spare handset to try your sim in?
have u raised this with your carrier? any known site issues in your area
have you tried manually roaming to see if this fixes the problem?
yea mine is also kinda poor too.
i have a cingular 3g sim card, i can put it in my sda and get full bars, but with this i get 2 bars most of the time.
they say this happends when your phone is connected to 3g and phone at the sametime. try turning off the 3g and initiating a call again
Turn off 3G?
I appreciate the replies.
1. I am on the At&T network
2. Sim
3. No spare phones to sim swap

Since I am located in a major city, 3G is on all the time. Shouldn't the device automatically make voice a priority over data once a call is made or accepted W/ out the user having to shut it down? Let alone having to tell the person on the other end; "Let me call you back, I have to turn off the 3G so my calls won't sound like shizit."

**Update**
At&T told me they performed an over the air sync to my device. So far, I have not sen any improvement. I've even tried to shutdown the data before talking on the phone. Now AT&T is telling me to return the phone, since I only purchased it on Nov. 14th and they now believe the device is faulty.

Here we go again
This is my second 8925 now & still the same thing W/ chopped up conversations, even when I have full bars and am making calls to landlines.
I have tried to disable the 3G prior to calling etc. Also, this never seems happen in the same area, so I don't think it's a coverage issue.
Is anyone else having this problem on the at&t network?
Thanks,
Tobe
I was having alot of the same issue until I upgraded my tilt to xda live 1.2 is current version. The new radio in that rom made a big difference in my neighborhood.
xda live 1.2

Umm ok, but did the xda live 1.2 rom improve the voice clarity as well?

orange touch diamond reception problem

Hi everyone,
I have a touch diamond under a week old, I have used it both inside and outside the house and have checked the coverage online on the orange website and also by calling customer services.
I am not getting hardly any 3G coverage and most of the time it stays fully on the G coverage and switches to 3G and quickly back again and sometimes HSDPA.
I have contacted orange and I am going to send the phone back as I am not happy with this at all.
Is there any rom i can apply I have seen the radio .25 one which apparently improves reception but would I be able to reset everything back incase this fails as well?
Please can anyone help me out I love the phone but browsing is so slow without 3g!
I am in the same boat.
My Orange reception is useless with the phone when in my house finding it hard to even get a signal.
I am fairly certain that its not the phone as I put the sim in another phone and reception was equally bad.
Luckily I also have a T-Mobile contract so will be putting the sim from T-mobile in the Orange Diamond as soon as I can get it unlocked!
Orange is good for me with stock rom and stock radio.
I live in a 2g zone in the countryside, so yes internet is a bit slow for browsing and youtube sucks but call reception is excellent.

Works fine for me
I live in Wycombe and have great reception. Always have 3G and a lot of the time I even get HSDPA. I am using original radio and TLR3 ROM. It used to work well on the original ROM but not as good as since moving to TLR, even though this shouldn't make a difference!!!

Xperia and Rogers 3G Issue

Well for the longest time I've had 3G activated on my phone but I've always connected to Edge. As of late my phone has been connecting to Rogers 3G. Sometimes it's stable, most of the time it's not. Connecting to 3G usually causes my phone and data connection to reset, usually back to G or Edge, and at times even causes my phone to soft reset randomly. Just wondering what's the deal with this and if I should just turn off 3G completely.
Maybe it's something you need to call your Roger's rep about? I'm on Rogers and I get 3G very consitsantly. I've had no issues so far. I dunno could it be the rom you're using?
its most likely a software issue. Try doing a hard-reset or try a different rom. Its either that or the 3G reception in your area isn't good. Try using 3G data with a different phone to see if its the network or your phone thats causing the problem
You guys are both using the X1 right? Cause I remember for the longest time Rogers didn't broadcast the proper 3G bandwidth for the Xperia... I dunno if that's changed since the X1 came out on Rogers
are you living in like a small town type of place or areas of the city where they don't really have that many or any signal towers? because that may be part of the reason why you go into edge a lot of times.
I think reception has always been a big issue with sony ericsson phones .
I lived in calgary, and when I drive up to general N.W. areas that are higher up in sea levels (such as edgemont (a phone reception killer location because a few years ago because they never had any reception towers up there) and parts of country hills) I get terrible reception.
my w810i, z610i, and my x1 has crap reception when I get to those areas from time to time.
anyways, hopefully you'll get it all figured out soon.
3G to edge to No connection
Hi I was about to open a new thread for it, then I saw yours. At least you are getting a 3G network. Mine just keep looking for it, then it finds 3G then Edge the H (I dont even know what that is) then there is nothing!!!!! Then it restarts again..........
Anybody any idea?
thanks in advance
Haha funny thing is, I actually live in Calgary and I only get 3G when I drive up North. I live in the South and I only get Edge but when I drive up to the University or am at the University in the NW, I get 3G. And yeah I've gotten H a few times too

im using the X1a from Rogers, so it does have the 3G bands. Im pretty much on 3G all the time and in some circumstances i get 3G+, which is probably a result of Rogers' enhanced 3G network
if im not mistaken "H" stand for HSPA......which is probably the same as me getting 3G+, guess it depends on the ROM being used.
If your using the X1i......then it could explain your spotty 3G reception
In any case, if your phone is restarting then try a hard-reset

HTC One M7 cannot make/receive phone calls while in LTE mode

Hello, I just purchased an unlocked HTC One M7 to use on Rogers. LTE works 100%, HSPA works 100%, 3G works 100% (meaning I can use the data flawlessly). HOWEVER, I cannot make or receive any phone calls if I am in GSM/HSPA/LTE mode.
When I call my phone while in LTE mode, I can see my phone switching from LTE to HSPA/3G immediately (that's supposed to happen since calls cannot be made over LTE atm) but the phone does not ring at all.
IF I put my phone in GSM/HSPA mode, then incoming/outgoing calls work flawlessly... if I switch back to LTE mode I can't make/receive phone calls anymore. I know for sure it's the LTE mode cuz I tried 4-5 times switching back and forth between GSM/HSPA/LTE to GSM/HSPA only mode and phone calls ALWAYS work under GSM/HSPA and RARELY work under GSM/HSPA/LTE (a couple times it did go through but 95% of the time it doesn't work).
I tried flashing a new modem, a new ROM and everything but it's still the same problem.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
EDIT - Just noticed that calls stop working in 3G mode too until I restart the phone
EDIT 2: Alright, from going through *#*#4636#*#* I've isolated it down to HSPA+. Phone calls ONLY work on HSPA+ and not when it's on 3G or LTE. Any ideas?
Flash a full ruu ?
My phone does this as well. but i dont have any problems getting calls or sending calls. If using LTE it drops to 3G while on the call. Though my phone is screwed and i never get HSPA+. Really wish there were more Bell users around.
I experimented all day yesterday with several different roms, downgrading down to JB back up to KitKat, tried a few different modems but still nothing calls ONLY work on HSPA.. u think it's a defective radio or something? my phones not under warranty either is there a way to get it fixed
i think its the firmware not matching up with radio. or having the wrong radio all together. I cant get S-off so its made it a pain in my ass. Ive pretty much given up hope lol. I could take my phone back to sense 5.5 stock with a nandroid that i have and everything works normal but i like sense 6 so ive just learned to deal.
if i could get any of the latest Bell or Telus radios it may be a help.

With your issue, phone dropping to 3G while on call it is normal because right now there is no voice over LTE. So the phone has to drop down to the either HSPA or 3G, whichever one is available.
and yeah you might be right about not having the right modem, but I can't find a Rogers modem ANYWHERE. The only one I found was part of a RUU to get back to stock if anyone has even an oldd Rogers HTC One M7 radio, please please please post a TWRP/CWM flashable version of the modem lol
