Hey guys!! I'm new to the android scene, I managed to get this phone up and runing thanks to you guys!! Thank you so much!!
I now have a problem that I can't seem to find the solution...
My phone gets really bad 2G reception, 3g is normal but 2G is really bad, I tried another SIM card but with the same result...
Can it be a Radio flash imcompatibility? can it be it? If not what can be causing this? Can it be hardware related??
Please help me get around this one...I love my G1
PS: I tried tons of ROMS already and tge end resolt was the same...
And please excuse my bad english
Thanks in advance!!

EDIT:
just wanted to say that i founf the solution, the problem is that the GSM radio, disconnects and we have to restart it manually...
i dont know the cause of this problem but if it happens to you, this i what i did to fix it.
1) to to market
2)download a download creator software like "any cut"
3)open any cut
4)do the fallowing sequence: New shortcut---activity---phone info (a shortcut should be on you screen now)
5)close any cut
6)open phone info
7)scrool down to "Turn off\on Radio" press the botton once.
8)now press it again until it reads "Turn off radio"
if not working go to:
1)any cut again---activity----data synchronization
2)open data synch
3)resynch everything
if not working
1)Replace SIM card
if not working
1) open your phone
2)check if any coaxial cable has come loose....
if not working (not sure about this one)
1)check your flashed radio version
2)ask for advice here...
hope it helps...

Hey guys have some updates on this...
I did all the steps above including updating the radio...it looked like it had fixed it but it got worse...
so i reverted to an older radio one that ends on 26I...
Reverting to an older ratio version did make it better but it still disconnects once a day...is this the stock radio is is there an older one?
in going tobring everything to stock and see if it works, i cant have this happening on me....
ill keep you posted...

Out of the blue yesterday my phones reception went dead. I have tried to change the settings for the bands, but still no luck. It does come up with the radio version. Everything is working as it should, just no radio connection. Wifi and BT both work fine. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You haven't paid your phone bill, have you?
Seriously, have you tried with another SIM card?
All my bills have been paid, lol.
I have tried 2 other SIM's and no luck. All 3 SIM's work in any other phone. Thanks
Hi
Just check if u get the Radio versions when yr device boot.
Also chk if u can open yr contacts.If no then rename the PIM file and reboot.
I hope this solves
It popped back up on its own. I wasnt doing anything to the phone and it just started to connect to a tower. Thanks for the suggestions. If it happens again, I hope not, I will try that out.
Looks like I spoke to soon. I went to soft reset the device and the same thing is happening again.
I do get the radio version when I boot up and my contacts work fine. Everything seems to be fine except the GSM radio part. Back to the drawing board.
Hi,
I recently updated to Froyo using the registry hack, i was on uk orange jf3 before.
Since being on it i have constantly been struggling with the 3g and the network signal, at first i thought the 3g was disconnecting when i turned the wifi on but then the network signal starting disappearing and it would show the circle symbol with the diagonal strike through it to show that it was not picking up any networks.
I read somewhere that cycling flight mode might solve the issue, but for some reason once i turn on/off flight mode it just hangs at that stage and will not change until after a restart.
I have also tried formatting both the internal and ext sd cards and i have done a factory reset twice.
Nothing has helped, it connects to 3g initially (which shows that it shouldn't be a setting problem?) and the network signal is also fine initially but then after a short amount of time or inactivity or switching on wifi the 3g won't connect and the network signal just dies.
If anyone has any ideas as to what is causing this or how to fix it i would really appreciate it.
Having a phone that can't make or receive calls when i need it to is really f'ing me off.
P.s. I have read and searched other topics for help on this but nothing so far has helped.
Might be something like I have? But I got no reply here...

Yer i read your post, what i don't understand is that it was totally fine in 2.1 and now in 2.2 it's messed up, not sure if that is the same for you?
I think it is something to do with it being for Norwegian users not UK and that somehow affects it.
I have checked the apn and it all seems correct, do you also have the issue with flight mode not working properly?
Just found this on an internet search...
: Samsung Galaxy S v2.2/Froyo update
Posted: 5 days ago in response to: stefan
Some news on the update to Android 2.2 for the Samsung Galaxy S. Currently we are making some changes to get it working better when using Orange signal, and are therefore looking to release the update by the end of November – obviously this is a delay on our original release date but we hope it will be worth the wait!
Kind Regards

Not sure exactly what that means but it sure sounds like this might be the problem i am having.
I would be interested to know if other UK orange users have been having problems?
I would also like to know if it is possible for me to go back to to a previous version so i can actually use my phone.
I am orange uk, and have similar problem at home, but works well at office. Maybe it is due to the barrier of signal. if the signal level is lower than this barrier, only emergency call can be.
I do not know how to do but my friend advised me to update the moderm
Hey guys. First of all I want to thank you all for detailed information and in advance for helping me I've got a really weird problem that I can't solve. I bought my milestone from a guy(second hand) and I found wi-fi and bluetooth is not working. I thought that I can solve the problem but I can't find any solution over all android forums.
I flashed some different ROM's but nothing affected the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth problem. When I try to Turn On Wi-Fi it tries to start and then stops then again starts, it goes on and on. I tried to find original MAC address it shows 00:00:00:00:00:00. I tried to Mac Spoof but I can't change it from terminal.
And for the bluetooth I click Turn On then it tries to turn on and stops like I didn't click anything.
As a summary I lost my Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Anyone can help me restoring it back to normal? Cause in my Area 3G is unstable and I want to use my home network! I can't use it any more. I'm waiting for the good responses.
Thanks in advance...
Please help. This is important for me... If someone helps me I'll donate 15 USD from paypal. Thankssss...
There are several possible reasons why it's not working. They include:
Bad hardware.
Corrupt software.
Non Stock Firmware.
To eliminate the last two, you can flash the appropriate SBF.
To do this, follow the instructions on how to get your milestone back to stock here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696845
On the page to get sbf, scroll down to the 2.1 section and dowload the latest version for your carrier
This will completely wipe your phone, and make it like a new phone. If that doesn't resolve the issue, the problem is probably hardware related.
If this worked for you, please donate the $15 to xda. You can do that via http://forum.xda-developers.com/donations.php
Thanks for quick-reply. But i tried this one before. But it didn't solve this issue. I'll try one more time... How could hardware (both bluetooth and Wi-Fi) be bad? There must be a way to return it back... I'll update this as i try again the original file...

I'd assume that the same chip runs both as is usually the case for embedded systems. If the original firmware doesn't work, the it's likely a hardware issue.
I tried a new update and bluetooth worked for once. And then stopped again. And I sent to warranty they said they cannot change all mainboard cause it'll cost near phone's cost. And after I see Bluetooth works for once I thought may be it's radio based problem. How can I update the original radio update only? Thanks in advance...
I have got exactly the same problem.
I have already sent it back to motorola under warranty and they changed a few things. It work for about a day and then exactly the same.
I thought the update to froyo would work, it did for a day and then reverts back to the same problem.
Have you solved this yet?
Hey guys hav u ever experienced issue like dis:
Mobile internet connection drop and unable to got online or using web browser etc.
It cannot be fixed w/ rebooting.
Now it seems i can use disable/reenable 3G/3G switch and turn on/off 3g connection several time to make this work.
But it is still annoying
Any idea how to fix it?
Im using the latest firmware, radio, stuff: 11.11.1
btw the gmail search doesnt work either after 8107 update which said by MSFT wud fix this issue, any1 hav the same issue?
I can't find the switch 2g/3g switch!? lol
Don't have any other issues though!
Omnia 7 - originally on T mobile but now using unbranded ROM on Three.
Same problem here. The gmail search on server bug is really annoying!
I'm having the same problem as of today, my mobile data connection has dropped. I've tried rebooting, switching to airplane mode, re-enabling/disabling 3G/E multiple times. But the issue remains.
On proximus (belgium) with DFT rom
- Use the Diagnosis app
-Open up the Diagnosis app.
-Dial this (to enable autoconfigure sim setting): *#94765#
-It will ask you to restart the device. Confirm that.
Same problem here too. I was afraid it was my device..now i see almost all omnia 7's got this problem. No fix from samsung. Nice.
I've had issues with this for months. In fact since upgrading to Mango.
It's not hardware as I now have a warranty replacement and this one has the problem too. My sister also had hers replaced under warranty for the same issue and the issue remains for hers too.
I started a MS Answers thread months back but MS have ignored it... may as well add your voices though. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/winphone/forum/wp7-wppics/data-connection-problem-since-mango-update/1544a63f-7bf0-43fa-837c-7e89f10b86ab

Can anyone confirm/unconfirm if this works? Getting really sick of this now. Restarting was fixing it, but now nothing. I'll add my views to your thread.
Had the data issue for months, it was so bad i stooped using the device.
Then as in old windows mobile i decided to flash another rom witch included another radio from another carrier, in this case a french one, well it did work ,then i could use the phone everywhere.
I cant tell you the rom version at the moment because i got a test roam loaded, but i can certainly find out later.
edit..
The rom was Mango fro sfr france.
you mean that flashing another rom fixed ur problem?
Can u post a link to the rom itself, please?

Yup, it has fix it.
I got it from HERE
Before that i could not do anything over 2/3g.
Now it works just fine.
One thing i remember, the device will boot in French, but you can change to English after in the control panel.
Before doing anything make a Device backup!
edit...
my radio hardware version is 0.0.0.800
radio software version 2424.11.9.1
Currently using the above radio with a custom rom v 24.24.11.9.4 and no problems with data.

can confirm that it doesn't work - sadly :-( - It has the effect of setting the switch in Network profile app (something you only get in unbranded ROMs by default..
BTW there is a thread on this in the Omnia 7 general forum
I had the same issue also but after using Healthcliffs fix 3g.xap my problem went away.

Hello everyone, been searching far and wide here in xda and on good ol` google for a fix for the wifi error.
So far, I tried the codes, I tried flashing original firmware, then I rooted and flashed custom firmware, I tried to flash new modem .. ionno , lots of stuff, none worked.
When I go to the advanced menu in the wifi tab, I notice I have no mac address on the wireless, so probably the adapter is not being recognized or it's not communicating right.
Anyway , with all this said, it's probably a hardware fault, thing is I would like to open the phone up , tear it down, and get the motherboard out.
My question: would hot airing the motherboard help ? maybe someone tried it and got a successful story to share. If not, any kind of advice is welcomed. Thx !

Get the LOGCAT when you try to connect. Gives more info than what you gave.
