This is driving me nuts. My o2x P990 is probably more out of service then its actually on it.
When I'm walking around in the city or just sitting at home there are numerous of moments that I just can't make calls or send texts.
Even when I'm connected, sometimes I have to type my messages over and over again three times till its send successfully. Sometimes all my contacts and messages are gone, the whole thing freezes up for a second and I only see their telephone numbers anymore.
I never had this problem before with my other phones, I had an old nokia for years and the bars were always full of connectivity.
Its been out of service for an hour now, only thing that helps it to reboot it, come on..
I live in Belgium and I'm using Mobistar anyone else having these problems?
No rom, nothing flashed, just rooted out of curiosity but not using any benefits of it.
simply type *#*#4636#*#*
then select phone info
and then scroll to prefered network or something else and touch into wcdma preferred
and your phone will get signal everywhere.
sorry for my bad english,

That's not true. If there is no WCDMA coverage, there is NO signal.
And that's not true. If there is no WCDMA, it will use GSM.

Ok. Please enlighten me.
We have normal settings like:
* Preferred network mode GSM/WCDMA (auto mode) In practice, WCDMA is preferred
* WCDMA only
* GSM only
So this must be macig, *#*#4636#*#* , please try it.
Preferred mean it will try and use WCDMA where possible, but if it's not possible, it will drop to GSM.

Where do you find WCDMA preferred extra setting (not AUTO)?
I am mainly referring to post #2. Only in AUTO mode fallback to GSM is supported and vice versa.
Its already on WCMDA preferred, thats good right?

If its been having consistently bad reception from day 1, it could be a case of a bad radio hardware. In which case, a warranty swap should easily remedy the situation.

It's the first option in the list on the testing menu.
Ps. GSM Auto (PRL) is often a good bet. That's what I use.

Indeed. And cross checking SIM card on other phone/and another SIM card on O2.
I got the same problem.
But it only occurred after i installed CM7 and after this I flashed back to stock.. Now i can't get any reception at all?

Can you explain the difference between GSM Auto (PRL) and WCDMA preferred?
I also have no service very often. My other phones (same SIM card) get 3G or even HSDPA (at least EDGE) access but the LG says no servoice. It's very annoying.
WCDMA the phone is always on the lookout for a 3G signal, PRL means the phone gets a list from the carrier and uses 2G/3G based on it. Should provide better battery life.
Always on,
central Europe, SK, CZ, H, A , PL - everywhere always on = home net + several roaming ones.
May be it is about time to check area of usage with your provider.

I am in 3G.
I have no problems when putting my sim in my tp2. And talking while surfing.
And i am not the only one. No one has givein a reason as to why.
Uh..unless you changed you radio settings to "WCDMA only" you should be able to talk and surf.
It should work. I do it all the time, but it is network dependent.
In case it works on your TP2 i suggest you check your settings.
Hey big guy are you using a t-mobile nexus one on AT&T? Or AT&T N1 on T-mobile? That used to send all my calls to voicemail while I was on the intarwebs

Incorrect. "WCDMA only" is still UMTS/HSPA (3G/3.5G in consumer speak), therefore you still get voice/data at once. I can only conclude that you're under the assumption that UMTS/GSM work the same way EVDO/CDMA does. On an EVDO network, all data goes through the EVDO network, while voice stays on 1xCDMA, because EVDO is an addon to 1xCDMA.
UMTS and GSM are two completely incompatible technologies that only share GSM backend features and a SIM card. The circuits in the phone are separate, the antennas on the towers are separate. You're either completely on UMTS for voice and data (inc. both at the same time) or you're completely on GSM (for voice or data but not both at once. In fact, if you're locked on to a strong UMTS signal, the parts of your phone that handle GSM shut down for power conservation and only wake up when your signal drops to check to see if you'll get a superior signal over GSM. It will do this periodically, but won't stay active for long unless your UMTS is so bad that you won't be able to hold a call. THEN your phone powers up and maintains the GSM radio, while putting the UMTS radio on standby, only powering it up momentarily to look for a better signal.
The only time you have GSM and WCDMA/UMTS powered on at the same time is during hand-offs from one network to the other. That's why staying in areas where you bounce between the two kills your battery so quickly, the radio is drawing roughly twice as much juice as it normally does, plus it's computing which one will do the better job for the moment. Even then, at that time, the phone and its OS will be using only one of the networks at a time, and if it's UMTS, you'll be able to hold a call and surf the web.

Hey, sort of same thing just happened to me
in my case using GSM Auto (prl) or WCDMA prefered I can connect to HSDPA but GSM is in emergency calls only, weird.
but I can do both on GSM only (GPRS/EDGE)
Re-flashed to official release of 2.1 same thing.
i use voice and data on my nexus at the sme time every day. it just works. as long as you have a 3G symbol next to your reception bars, then it works.
i dont know what you could have done to break this. can you demonstrate to us what you are doing that is not "working"?

I am connected to 3G network. Call comes in. I can not browse on the internet. While i am on the call i go check settings and i have droped to GPRS. As soon as i hang up i go back to 3G (HSDPA)
Have you ever changed your build.prop file at all in the past? If so that's the problem. Change to hsxpa=2 to fix it.
If not then I have no clue.

I have no problem on my TP2.
I use it often too but today I was unable to it. Hopefully its because my area is being updated to hsdpa+
i think i have the same problem. 3G drops during voice call, doesn't connect during the call. reconnects after the call ends.

When you have bad reception, that's what happens. Normal and expected. During the call it won't re-negotiate 3G, only when the call ends.

Yeah, that is normal and it really sucks when you're on a long call. Once you lose 3G signal it's gone for good. I don't know if it's a network problem, or the phone, but it should be fixed.
Hi all,
i am on O2 Germany network and using AT&T nexus one.
i get 2-3 bars of HSDPA(H /3G, 2-3Mbps) network at my work location but if i move little far from my seat (near to window) i get only GPRS(30-50 Kbps) network but my friends Iphone manages to get Edge network on same provider which my Nexus is not able to get.
can anyone tell me why is it happening so and also i have tested selecting EURO band under phone info settings but no use
TIA
go into the dialer and type *#*#4636#*#*, go to phone information and tell us what setting is selected under Set preferred network type

hmm thats not the issue then as WCDMA preferred can still grab an Edge signal, have you tried turning 3G off and see if you can grab Edge anywhere?
i have switched off 3G too but still i am not getting Edge........
can anyone help me plzzzzzzzzzz
Bump.......for the convenience of all to see and help me out
Seems to me you're never going to get 3G, so I'd personally set it to one of the other options, not WCDMA. Don't have the phone in front of me but think the option to pick is clear if you're only going to get EDGE.
hi all expert,
i flashed few roms, and i dont know why the 4G netowk is not working anymore. Signal lost on every boot,
i have to switch flight mode on/off to get the signal back . i thought this ROM problem so i flashed other rom but no luck.
even i nanodriod to my first stock rom. any idea ? is there any hidden partition that i should wipe it out ?
P.S my region RUU is not available

it depends on what you consider 4g? are you talking about LTE or are you talking about HSDPA/HSPAP? if its LTE it should show up as LTE, but depending on where your located and which HTC one you bought you might not have the bands. if your company has HSDPA the H that shows is normal. H for our phones(atleast on the international version) is a combo of HSDPA and HSPAP which in tmobile USA's eyes is 4g and 4g+. even though technically its 3.5g and 3.5g+. so need a bit more info on your end to get an idea of what SHOULD be happening.
phone model? international? ATT? tmobile? heck sprint?
provider?
maybe country? it seems like your in another country i think?
and if your in the USA then maybe city you live in? cause LTE on tmobile has only rolled out in like 10 cities though ATT has better signal

Choose the first option in the list that comes up, and see what "preferred network" is set to. If it doesn't say something about "LTE" theres something wrong.

deafult is GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto, and network type is HSDPA
when i tried to set LTE only, it swap back to the default value immediately ,if i set to CDMA,LTE , it become "H" and show HSPAP and UTMS.

OK. i am going to try again ....
my phone is unlocked and i use tmobile service..
they just switched on LTE in my area.. and its working great.. i assigned a new APN (fast.t-mobile.com) and i get upwards of 18Mbps.. but..
in my house.. the LTE signal is 1 bar.. most of my calls go straight to VM and i sometimes dont get texts for hours..
in my house the 4g signal which was the default before is 3 to 4 bars.. i never had a problem receiving calls and texts when its on 4g.
so it seems now they have LTE service the phone favors that no matter what the signal is..
i cant find any options in the settings to turn off LTE and just use 4g.
i guess you can disregard this question.. i installed CM10.2 and it has the option to only use WCDMA instead of LTE..
this fixes my issue

Hey Guys!
I'm from Argentina and I have bought (via Amazon) this amazing phone. It is the Developer Edition 32GB, XT1053. I think it runs the T-Mobile rom. I bought it because it is the global GSM version and its LTe bands works down here (same bands as US) well.
So far so good with this little and fast phone, but I was really surprised when i went on to check the preferred network types options, and found I only have 2 options: Automatic or 2G. There is no "3G/2G" option as I use to see in other phones. Normally you would expect 3 options here:
LTE (which includes 3G and 2G also), 3G (which includes 2G also) and just 2G.
Thing is, so far I don't mind this since Its cool to have it automatically, the phone will always try to find LTE and if not, 3G... and if not, 2G. The thing is, Argentina is currently setting up LTE over the country these days (yes, we suck), and in the future the operators 'might' charge an extra cost for using LTE instead of 3G, and that's what worries me... not having the option to limit the phone to 3G/2G was something I wasn't expecting and honestly I don't want to flash the phone to another rom, not at least in the near future.
Anyone knows if this "Automatic - 2G" setting is normal to see in this version ? Do you know if there's some kind of workaround to make it work under 3G/2G only in case I need to avoid LTE in the future for extra fees and so ?
Thanks for your help guys!
Edit: Forgot to mention, the phone came out with 4.4.3 but I upgraded it via OTA to 4.4.4 right away.
Yes the Automatic - 2G option is normal for the xt1053 retail stock. Android has hidden menu that gives more options tho.
Use this app to access hidden menu: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snclabs.radioswitcher&hl=am
Scroll down to where it says set preferred network type and change to whatever you want. gsm only being 2g, wcdma only being 3g, and so on
If the setting doesn't stick after reboot you can try toggling data off then on after changing the setting. try a few times it will stick after reboot.

Thanks man! That app will be really helpful to me if it happens that the operators start charging extra fee for LTE use in the near future.
Btw, I don't understand that much all that names. What would be the options for having 3G and 2G ? Should it be "WCDMA preferred" ? (I guess that takes away LTE) I will not use it under 3G only since I will be without signal if I happen to run into a 2G zone. (yes, we still have a lot of 2G zones in this country )
Thanks!!!!
