So I've been messing around with more roms lately trying to find one that has all the features I like and that are easy to use. I am on the latest clockwork recovery through rom manager. I was on the korean radio 5.08? and flashed around with superhybrid, miui bundle, desire hd, rodriguez miui. and an oc-kernel for 1152mhz? something like that.
My phone just won't connect to the data connection no more, on any of the rom. i tried changing my APN to a couple. I tried switching back to my usual rom, I tried upgrading to the radio to the latest korean radio of 5.12. I was able to get edge connection for a brief moment, but it barely works. When I say brief i mean like 2 minutes then there goes my edge connection....
I'm hoping this is network side in this general area only, but is there a possible problem on my phone? any solution if it is?
I would try it out at different part of town that you usually get 3G.
If it's like that all the times everywhere than it might be the phone but I doubt it.
I had the same problems for about 2 weeks here at work (everywhere else it work fine). Tmobile must have fixed the tower cause it's working fine now at work also.

Are there two physical radios in the Tilt/TyTN II? I ask because I'm experiencing a strange problem that nobody else seems to have seen before. That, or nobody noticed my posts here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335096
The problem is that phone/data work fine when the phone is in non-3G mode. (In the Comm Manager, available in most recent ROMs, I have disabled the 3G mode, so I'm using only GSM here in the US).
In 3G mode, I'll get a 3G icon (used to get an H, months ago), but will be unable to place/receive calls, and no data connections will be established -- they'll all time out or say that "the answering modem has disconnected."
So, back to my question: is it possible that my radio is partly damaged? Can that happen? I'm not sure how else to explain the utter lack of 3G on my phone.
can't have a damaged radio, you could have the wrong radio for the device and/or version of windows mobile. 3g only works if in 3g area,have it enabled and turned on through comm manager.also make sure you're network settings are correct and make sure phone is set to auto in networks tab in phone settings,not set to gsm/cdma
PS, the search tool/wiki are you're friends since this has been covered too many times

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, I've tried everything I can think of, and everything suggested. Nearly ever ROM I've seen, with nearly every radio; every combination of wap.cingular, isp.cingular, etc. The AT&T store thinks the phone is defective b/c they can't figure it out, either. In response to your comments: tried every version of windows mobile and most of the radios available; I'm very much in a HSDPA 3G area (used to get 5 bars "H" all the time); 3G is enabled; network settings are correct; phone is set to auto/auto.
Any other ideas, anyone? I appreciate it!
I've been have the same exact problem. I posted about it about a month and a half ago, but got nothing.
Everything worked perfectly until one day, out of nowhere, 3G stopped working for me. I've also tried multiple radios and ROMs and to no avail. The weird thing is that when it stopped working, nothing had been changed in months.
I know that I'm definitely in a 3G coverage area because I used to get 3G service all the time.
If I turn 3G on, it'll work in an edge only area, but as soon as it switches over to WCDMA, the problems occur.
This is super aggravating.

Well, the good part is, you're not alone. I found another forum online (can't remember where, I'm at work now and I found it last night) were several people were having the exact same problem -- in various countries around the world, including the US.
They had decent luck flashing the stock HTC ROM and then the French radio mentioned on the big XDA radio post (search google for "kaiser radio" and you should see it). However, I did the same and still have the 3G problem.
did you try using a shipped att rom and see if you still have this problem? if the problem goes away, then maybe its just a rom/radio mismatch problem. if it doesnt, then its more likely a hardware failure.
I'm in france, and since few days, i've the same problem, and i haven't change the radio. the phone is going for repair.

Yep -- I've tried going all the way back to the original ROM and radio. No go.

Can you keep us posted on what happens when it comes back? If it's really a hardware problem, many inquiring minds would love to know.
Bonne chance!

As mentioned in this thread, some shipments of the TyTN II have faulty hardware with broken 3G support.
No patch or driver update can fix this because it is a hardware problem. I experienced exactly the same issue with my first TyTN II and finally replaced it with a new device which works flawlessly out of the box.
I believe you should also better get your device replaced if you ever want to use 3G.

are you saying you have gotten your phone back? is it working now?
My g1 have big problem, it loss signal all day, most the time. I tried turn on air plane mode and turn off, or retart the phone, wipe, up another rom, up newest radio version, use 2g network only. But it doesn't work.
It loss signal random, i can't control or do something to have signal again. even i change many other sim cards. but i discover one thing: seem this problem related air plane mode. because in some rom version, i turned off air plane mode but it didnt, even i restart my phone it still on. i must take out the battery for long time and put it again.
Some time it have signal again but it only for short time.
How can i fix this problem, please help me.
please someone can help me. my phone isn't a phone anymore
hhmmm...Try to upgrade to the latest radio for g1. If that doesn't help, maybe your rom has messed up apn settings or the service in your area dropped.

I can add few things to this since I experience loss of signal multiple times every day:
I have 2 G1s. On both of them it happens:
1. Using different ROMS (CM, Super-D, OpenEclair)
2. Using different recoveries (RA 1.5.2 and 1.6.2)
3. At different times of the day
4. Using different radios (older radio and the newest one, sorry I can never remember the numbers)
5. Across different states ( I took one of them thru 5 different states and it kept loosing signal)
What happens is that I start a program that requires data (twidroid, FB, Gmail, Market) and I see my connection get stuck on the uplink, go away completely and restart the radio. Another way it will do it, is that it will stay on blank screen (or downloading screen) and there will be no uplink or downlink shown)
Tried: wiping, re-flashing radio, re-flashing rom, getting rid of few apps.
Anyone with any insight on this? I can get a log next time this happens if anyone wants to take a look.
Thank!
i tried many diferent rom, radio, and recorvery too. but it still doesn't work?
Now i discover that any connect in my g1 seem doesn't work. wifi can search but when i connected it can't open any page even google. gps can receavie signal, bluetooth can turn on but no one can see me or i can' connect to my headset bluetooth.
May i think it is mainboard's problem? i opened my g1 and see anten signal very perfect, don't have any space or something like that.
I bought a second-hand G1(no data plan) since I wanted to play with my phone. It ran 1.6 DMD64 stock with the newest radio; and it had WiFi problems.I did some research before purchasing and knew it could be flashed; so I tried flashing it to a modern ROM to see if that would solve the problems. After figuring out it was an American phone(I live in Holland) I managed to root it and flash CM6RC2. I now sometimes have a lot of reception; sometimes not. I tried installing WiFiReEnabler and WifiFixer; WifiFixer made connections overall a bit more stable; but half of the time I still don't have WiFi. I also tried to use my laptop's WiFi for my phone via USB; followed the instructions but failed. My phone managed to get semi-bricked 3 times in that period(stuck at G1 screen), and I tried flashing another ROM too; so I flashed CM 4 times. I'm using a Belkin N1 wireless router; switched channels, security and looked at my keyphrase.
The problems I have with WiFi:
- Not finding my router even though being quite close to it; happened only with 2 of the 5 times I flashed
- Finding my router but not connecting; happened 3 of the 5 times I flashed
- Saying that it's connected but not allowing me to browse; happened all times but WifiFixer occassionally fixes this
I'm still running CM6RC2 with Amon Ra recovery 1.7 on an American phone; my router is a Belkin N1 with firmware version 3.01.04 and hardware F5D8631-4 v3 with WPA-TKIP, broadcast SSID on, channel 4.
Is there a way that allows me to get stable internet on my phone without a data plan?
This could be either a hardware or software issue, not quite sure. Your options are listed below
1. Root and flash to a different more updated rom
2. Flash the newest radio(not sure if it effects wifi signal strength, forgot)
3. Open up the G1 and see if any connectors are loose.
Option 3 is probably out of the question, option 1 and 2 can be done by looknig into the rom bible(sticky) in the G1 dev thread, this will give you threads with new roms, how to install them etc, as well as flashing the new radio(if you have not yet done that)
I already flashed the newest radio, since I tried to install CM6 and in that guide I was instructed to flash the newest radio. I also obviously have installed CM6RC2 which is the newest version of CM.
I did read somewhere that more people had WiFi issues with CM6RC2 or deratives; I'll try running an older version of CM.
Edit: Doesn't work; at least I can't browse when I'm connected. Doing a nandroid restore right now; I'm intending to use Froyo.
In the case that doesn't work, how hard and dangerous would it be to open up my casing and look for those wires? It's second-hand, so warranty would likely not be a problem.
Thanks for answering anyway.
Is it possible that your router is using a different band?
I don't know about Holland, but sometimes different countries allow different wireless bands.
Try changing the channel on your router to something like channel 7 or 11, something varied from the norm.
Well. I found a solution. Connecting my old sitecom wl-167 which has no wireless N support seems to give me no problems.
(Holland has different channels then America, but my G1 was surprisingly already configured for Europe)
Thanks for your help anyway!
P.S. My XDA does seem to have some problems. "No route to host" when trying to post.
Edit: It appears it isn't 100% fixed; WiFi-fixer still solves it right now but it might not be the solution.
Edit 2: Well, WiFi-Fixer is able to fix my problems all of the time for now; but ocasionally I have WiFi for 10 seconds then 10 seconds no WiFi, et cetera.
Sent from my HTC Dream using XDA App
Edit 3: It isn't threatening to my WiFi anymore. Thanks everyone who tried to help me.
Need help hoping someone can point me the right direction or has had this problem before.
On random occasions my connections to the T-Mobile network will stop. The way that I know it's stopped is I'll look at the 3G or H icons in the drop bar and the up arrow will be blinking as if it's try to connect but nothing will happen. During this time, no calls will come in or out, and data will not work. To get out of this, I either have to reboot or switch from 3G to EDGE (also happens while on EDGE too) or just wait it out, EVENTUALLY, the connections will be restored and the up and down arrows will light up showing traffic is flowing again. I know it's not coverage since more often than not I have full bars or at least 2 bars.
I'm thinking it's not the radio firmware, since I'm running modded ROMs (currently running CM6.1 RC1) and I've upgraded the radio successfully each time. The radio I'm currently running is 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
Let me know if anyone has any ideas on how to troubleshoot this or has a clue on what I should do.
thanks
5.08 and 5.12 radio versions came from Korean updates, so would you like to give 4.06 a try to see if it solves the problem? if still doesn't, try 5.12 see if it works.
Radio image is not really tied with Rom, Froyo requires 4.06 or later radios. Since radio software handles all data communication.. so it is still possible that radio software caused the problem (i think )
Ive had this problem since I first got the N1, was happening even while running stock 2.1 so I dont think it has to do with the OS. I had written it off thinking it was an issue with TMO and their network. But at this point doesnt seem like that.
I've ran 4.06 radio in the past and still the problem presented itself so Im pretty confident that rolling back to 4.06 isnt going to fix it. I've just recently upgraded to the 5.12 radio so we'll see if that ends up working.
Other than that any other ideas?
I have been having intermittent signal problems on my phone for several months now and it's extremely frustrating. I've read through quite a few threads trying to find a similar problem, but nothing seems to provide a solution. So here goes my feeble attempt to explain what's going on...
For starters, I am in Canada on the Telus network. The phone works fine when I am traveling between places but doesn't work at all whenever I am at work or at home. Other places seem to knock it out as well. It hasn't worked at work since I started having the connection problems back in February or March. The same goes for at home. Anytime I am in between the two, which is a five minute drive I can switch the airplane mode on and off and it will usually connect to the network. When the Network drops, I still have signal bars, but get the "emergency calls only" instead.
I am running CM 7.0.3, and have updated the radio to 5.08.00.04 as well as 5.12.00.08 both did not to anything(I am now back on .08). I was on CM 6.1 when the problems started, and have been updating through the release candidates up to the latest stable CM still with no luck on figuring out what is causing the problem. I have done full wipes, as well as installed different ROMs trying to find what's causing this.
Could the SIM card be the culprit? Even if it seems to work fine some of the time?
I'm completely out of ideas, and sick of not being able to use my phone, as an actual phone, while I'm at home or at work. Any suggestions or ideas/questions is appreciated to figuring out what is going on, I'll answer the questions as best I can.
Thanks,
Chad
I'm having the exact same problem as you: only "Emergency Calls" at places with thick walls (is that well said?), where I used to have good reception and where others (with same company) have a pretty decent signal. I really don't recall when this started, but also does occur with all radios and kernels I've tested so far.
I'm currently running CM 7.0.3 with radio 5.12.00.08 and kernel redstar 2.6.38.7-CFS.
Me three. I think its something to do with cyan 7 because its been since I went onto it that signals not been what it used to. Perma emergency only in my halls.
