Signal Constantly go out - Motorola Droid and Milestone General

I recently got a Milestone and so far by far the best at&t phone I've had. Don't have to change any plans. It's a Telus version, and rooted. I have the latest CM7, I flashed canada rogers band files. and the connection works. But for some reason signal keeps going out. I go from Service to No Service to Emergency Calls Only to Service. Happens in all different area's. If I use an actually AT&T phone don't have this problem.
Is thre's some setting that I'm forgetting to set?
Please help.

Much needed bump

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......

[Q] 850mhz band broken on my phone? (''Unable to connect. Try later'' got me crazy):

Hello guys! I've been reading these forums for a long time, amazing what you guys do in here
Here is my problem: I live in México, and I traveled to USA for summer vacation, my mexican mobile phone carrier uses 850mhz (TELCEL) and when I went to USA it was using ATT's network.
So everything was working fine, but when I returned just before I was about to cross the border, it stoped working!
It has a message that says ''Emergency calls only'' where it's supposed to say ''TELCEL GSM'', so no internet, no calls, no messages.
I was using Froyo on my phone, and thought of doing a reset to restore factory settings on the phone, but it did not work :/
Then I updated my phone to Darky's Rom 10.2 (Gingerbread) and it's still not working!
When I go to Settings>Wireless and network>Mobile networks>Network operators I can see that my carrier is available to select, but when I try to, it gives me a ''Unable to connect. Try later'' msg.
It is really frustrating because I depend on my phone so much, mainly because I share my 3G connection to my laptop for school's work and stuff.
There's one weird thing though, I unlocked my phone, and placed a MOVISTAR(1900mhz) SIM card on it, AND IT WORKS!!!
But the thing is that I don't have internet on that SIM card(is prepaid and it's EDGE, not 3G), and on my TELCEL SIM card I have a contract to complete (still a year to go).
When I put my SIM card on someone else's phone, it works like a charm, but if I try to put a TELCEL (850mhz) SIM on my galaxy; just says ''Only emergency calls''
What do you guys think happened to my phone? I would really appreciate your help.
flash a new modem... one that contains more frequencies enabled.. any bell or telus will do.
UGKC1 modem should fix your problem.
It did not work, should I keep trying with other modems?
you can.. jk4 or jl2 are other modems with 850 and 1900 enabled... maybe your problem is different then I thought... but it sounds like your modem... maybe try unlocking your phone? if you can connect to wifi download sgs unlocker pro (paid app) in the market to unlock, your phone also needs to be rooted. are you using the i9000T? that may be different problem altogether...
edit: sorry I see you said it is unlocked... just doesn't sound like it...
a) modem related (ugkc1) should have fixed that
b) SIM carrier not compatible to phone (unlock phone to fix)
c) Busted SIM card, check in other phone
d) make sure phone option is set to Automatic CDMA/GSM
sounds like you checked everything I would check....
does your 3G work... make sure your VPN is setup to your carrier
maybe imei got blocked...? only way around that is to get provider/samsung to unblock
Hey have you solved this, I have the same problem

[Q] Bionic on GSM in India - Tata Docmo

Hi All,
I am starting a new thread for India specific networks on the Bionic.
I am new to this so please don't mind if i write anything stupid which i may haven't understood yet.
I got my Droid Bionic running on Stock ICS from States to India and inserted a couple of GSM sims which worked fine for a while without any tweaks. I used my device for one whole day(made calls didn't test data) and when in the morning i woke up there was no network. At that time in *#*#info#*#* it was showing as detecting network but as soon as the location updated, GSM would show out of service.
What i have done so far:
1. I flashed Eclipse ICS v 1.2 ROM and got network though very weak but couldn't make no calls.
2. I got ICARUS HD - 1.6.1 and applied the tweaks as mentioned in phone and got network stength increased but still no calls but a strange thing happened when i tweaked with build prop editor running ICARUS HD, when i changed to WCDMA Preferred and turned radio off and on it registered on the network gave full strength and GSM: showed in service as well, though this was only for 10-15 seconds and i couldn't test call.
3. Now I'm running CM 10 - released on Jan 18th and to my amaze I can use 2G Data though GSM state is Emergency Calls Only.
Following might be helpful to understand:
Current Network: TATA DOCOMO
Signal Strength: -99 dBm 5 asu
Neighboring CID: Unknown
Cellinfo: Blank
Roaming: Not Roaming
GSM Service: Emergency Calls Only
GPRS Service: Connected
Network type: EDGE(Also shows EDGE2 at times)
Message Waiting: False
Call redirect: false
Call Status: Idle
Preferred network type:
WCDMA preferred
I have changed to gsm only, gsm auto and all others applicable to no help.
I am trying to run my phone in India on network: Tata Docomo which probably operates on 1800 or it could be 1900 on 3G.
One thing which i am sure of now is that this phone certainly has all GSM capabilities and its some tweak which is required which i cant figure out. I have personally seen my phone making calls and now its running data as well.
Please help me on this!
Seems like settings changed with build prop to run on T-Mobile or AT&T dont seem to work for networks in India. Tmobile operates on 1900 and Tata Docomo on 1800
One thing which wont let me sleep is that why did it run perfectly at first and why did it fail if i did nothing to it. Can the network block the IMEI or something of that sort happened. It's been two sleepless nights for me now, now praying to the Radio God!! LOL!
Did you manage to get it to work? You might be right in thinking that it might be related to IMEI. Did you try and find out if the IMEI is considered valid by your operator since this is not a true worldphone its IMEI might not be in their database?

Didn't work. I had to give up on it. There was actually no way in which i could get it checked with the network.
I sold it off on Craigslist last July!
I now have bought another one to test. Waiting to get back to India to test it again.
Not all bionic works with gsm, only wcdma. It's HW A after 36/11 and HW B

It's quite interesting that it did work perfectly initially and then with CM10, the data worked. Did CM10 rom include its own radio as well?
I found something interesting in this thread (not related to Bionic):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945312
Good luck with your new Bionic! Does it work okay with GSM carriers in the US?
I finally got to try it and unfortunately it didn't work for me. Mine is HW A '12 Bionic and I am on ICS. If I go outside my house and search for networks, I get to see only one network(not mine). I see extremely weak signal in the phone info screen and also it shows gsm out of service. I tried 3 sims from different operators. Inside my house, nothing ever shows up. In other phones, I get to see many operators. Seems like it's definitely a signal strength issue if the gsm 900/1800mhz and wcdma 2100mhz bands are not locked. I'm not sure at this point what is the real cause. I even tried flashing just the radios from GB versions as complete downgrading is supposed to brick the device. Needless to say it didn't help. I'm still investigating and experimenting.

Hi,
I have now tried everything possible with the Bionic to run it on GSM network in India but it has failed to respond. I tried both hardware versions and can confirm that it is not registered as a world phone like most of new Verizon devices.
The worst thing which still bothers me is how and why did it work once(Yes, I made and receive calls on Docomo network in India). It will still show network strength , detect network but not register. I cant find no answers to it and have given up on this. The model is now obsolete and is clearly not a world phone in my dictionary but I won't deny it having GSM capability having seen it work personally. I have finally dumped the other bionic as well.
Good luck with your experimentation though!

Issue with At&t unlocked Moto X 2014. on t-mobile

So i am having issue. I bought a Moto X 2014 and it is clean in terms of imei. Both t-mobile says its clean and at&t says its clean. It is a AT&T variant XT1097 and like i said it is clean in terms of imei. weirdly enough T-mobile wont be picked up on the service, but AT&T will? it basically says
No Service
selected network (T-mobile) unavailable
and when i do try to select a network it says
"cant connect to network right try again later"
has anyone else have this issue with the AT&T moto trying to use it on at&t? and found a solution? if there is any solution ill take it i need all the help i can get lol
i tried reseting it, factory reseting, airplane mode, etc literally almost everything else.
Sorry.....I have similar issue..Did you find the solution? If yes could you share the info for it.

Add the T-Mobile APN.
it's discussed on the ATT thread, basically it's an issue with the lollipop radio used on our update, "fix" is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/att-xt1097-lollipop-discussion-t2951294/page36
Add the APN (as mentioned above)
Download the 4G/LTE switcher app
select WCDMA preferred as network, only HSDPA speeds but it's better than no service ^_^
I had this similar issue and it was driving me absolutely insane, the connection would be weak then it would just disconnect me altogether and then zero service. Most of the time if I were to get a call the radio would switch to HSPAP like normal then after the call it would fail to switch back to LTE then it would just completely drop connection. This is on an unlocked AT&T XT1097 running on the unlimited MetroPCS (T-Mobile) mind you.
Since February 2015 I've been dealing with this bug by using LTE switch to get by, but this got so tedious and it just irked me that I had to go thru all this crap because of poor development. This is a pretty huge bug that should've never been there to begin with. Seriously, how dare you mess with my service Google?
Anyways what I did to fix this completely was just purchase MoFoRoot for $20 (fully worth BTW) and flash the 4.4.4 AT&T modem and now I have zero issues. I used to not connect to the network on a reboot but since flashing the modem I am now able to connect and stay connected without any hassle. The connection is now solid and I can't be happier with this phone. Currently on stock 5.0.2 non-rooted with 4.4.4 modem and zero problems, now I don't need to get another phone.
Using the fast.metropcs.com APN as the T-Mobile APN doesn't allow me to connect. I have solid LTE and HSPA/HSPAP service with it and can't be happier... I take that back, I'd be happier with better indoor coverage.
Thank you makers of MoFoRoot for your lifesaver app, I am happy to have supported your fine work.

GSM on the Sprint HTC One M7

Alright, this is my first post to my recollection, so Im hoping this gets some great responses.
I own a network unlocked HTC M7, coming from Sprint. The thing is, Im in Jamaica, and im using a local service provider called Digicel. They do have 4G services, but regardless of the band I select I only get GSM. Thats the best it gets to be honest. On WiFi, Im all fine, but once it hits mobile data, I automatically get back to the days of our fore fathers.
I have done some research on my own and found that Sprint apparently provides 4G on their CDMA network. I am not very sure if this phone may have 3 radios as a result, and thats what causes this, but I needed some help. I literally just phoned support (Digicel's), who sometimes doesnt seem to have accurate information easily accessible indicated that Digicel's 4G data is available on their 1900 band. TBH, Im not very sure they are certain, and really and truly I am not either. Can I get some help with confirming if this can be used on other carriers comfortably re the radio config?
and if so, is there anything that can be done to have this use 4G on my network? I already did the *#*#4636 thing and ran through all possible network types. Still having the issue. Running lolli 5.0.1.
*Update
After having done some more research, I have found that the local service provider uses the 850 band for their 4G mobile data.
