ok I have been having 3G isssue on my nexus one 850 model, it shows thats I have full 3g signal but 3g hangs alot, and get data network error message, mine is unlocked and rooted and running Poul's FRF83 rom, I wanted to try different radios, can some one direct me what is best radio for att and from to get it, thanks guys for time
There is only one Froyo-compatible radio. The older ones will give you a few issues if used with Froyo as far as I know.
Radio working fine here. Try a clean ROM.
I think i have been having similar issues, flashed back to my stock recovery and stock images and ran the update from the google ota updates.
it just seems like it takes a bit for it to browse, sometimes when i run the fcc speedtest app it reports nothing for downstream and 1.5mb for upstream
was thinking it was just my area but not sure
Same here. Seemed to happen with Froyo 72. It is just the one tower that I've experienced this. When I'm at work my data keeps getting hung up. It will pause sometimes for 2 minutes before I get a socket and then it goes just fine. Away from work, any other area I don't have the problem. Got two iPhone users here on AT&T that are not having their data hang.
Speedtest.net results: DL: 11kbps, UL: 1467kbps
I did a complete wipe for FRF85B and installed the blackbar version of Geo411m's 85b: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714184
Hey guys, my samsung galaxy s has the UGJG9 firmware installed. was just wondering what the difference is between that and the latest one?

Apparently they released the JH2 again but including a SPL fix, so people already on JH2 will need to flash back to JG8 or something, then flash forward to JH2 again to get the new SPL fix
I got JH2 the other day. Yesterday my phone was going retarded, freezing and losing signal when it never had before. Seemed ok last night and today though I haven't spent much time with it today.
GPS was totally out of whack last night, sitting still and my location was jumping all over the place. Google navigation is unusable. Checked compass in GPS essentials and it was fine but in nav it just spins around and can't get it right.
Youtube widget changed. Now shows most viewed on the main bar but video and search buttons are not functioning properly. Right now it only shows the search button. If I search or launch youtube then go back the video button will be there but neither thet nor the search button will work. Wish I had just left it alone.
did you get the update with the spl fix?
and was your 3 button mode working for you before?
if not does it work with the new update?
lol so many questions... and thanks for the replies and the update on the firmware.
Just update dude. Everyone is experiencing various issues regardless of the firmware. I run 3 to 4 times a week using endomondo and the GPS tracks my route almost flawlessly. A few hitches here and there but nothing horrible.
My 3 button combo wasn't working at all and I was already on JH2. Had to do the registry trick to get Kies to flash the new JH2 on my phone and now it works. Upgrading to the new JH2 is the best choice to make, especially if you have plans on using a few mods.
I highly recommend the battery mod available on this forum after you upgrade. The SGS stock battery indicator is horrible and inaccurate, and I rather not waste my homescreen space on a battery widget.
Ya, did the update a few days ago. Three buttons work now and my gps doesnt think im in japan anymore (ya it was that bad) anyway definitely worth the update.

My 3 button mode worked before the update, I haven't tried it since. I haven't rooted and not sure yet if I will, will see how official 2.2 goes first.
Still losing signal though. Yesterday the girlfriend tried to call me and said she either got a busy signal (WTF) or it just went straight to voicemail.
Today I tried to make a call and had to redial two or three times because it kept losing signal. Def a problem with the phone and not anything to do with reception in my area. Only phone calls though, never lose signal when using data or market ect.
Guys, I'm a bit dense on this subject so please be kind.
I have JH2 on my Galaxy. I can't remember if I updated to this version via Kies.
So far, the 3-button recovery problem has not affected me. I haven't rooted Android (since I don't need SU rights), I haven't yet unlocked the phone (no need) and I haven't attempted any Android system updates. I guess I could be called an average user. I haven't tested the 3-button issue.
What circumstances could arise down the road, which would make it necessary for me to do a 3-button recovery? In other words, is this a problem which could affect all Galaxy owners?
Thanks.

I updated to JH2 prior to the SPL fix inclusion and found it to be better than JG9...smoother and less lag issues. Just make sure to backup everything.
My phone is still on jg9. It never had the three button issue it always worked for me. If I upgrade to jh2 how will this affect me?

I havent been able to update to JH2 from JG9 (trying to use kies but thats a prize in itself) but I have in the past gotten where I would try to call, and as the call dropped while still dialing it would tell me the radio is off. Or it would tell me im in airplane mode etc.
Now for the last 24 hrs I have yet to be able to make a call, although datta and texting works perfectly fine, every time I make a call it says my radio is off. And the same problem when someone calls, they are lucky if they get a fast busy signal.
Im talking with bell to get a replacement in store, if not I have a 'insurance' plan that'll give me a loaner etc while they ship it out.
Any update on whether your phone is still dropping into Flight mode?
So, right now I am using the Axura RC1 CE (I will update later), but I have had the problem described in the topic on various other ROMs using the JK3 modem.
It works fine for a few days (time is random, I have not been able to manually reproduce the issue), then randomly I lose all reception. Switching to flight mode fails, it gives no error, it just does nothing, in the notification bar it just says (searching). I have to reboot the phone to get the phone functioning again.
Anyone else experiencing this on ATTs network, or if there is a fix, I spent the last hour searching and going through the various threads to no avail (or I just suck at searching)..
Did you try the Axura thread?

I'm having the same issue but I've tried Assonance as well and still get the random no service. Tried different i9000 modems as well--anyone know if its safe to use a captivate modem??? I'm guessing no but just want to know if anyone has tried it without borking the phone.

I'm having this same issue as well, that's why I've tried to stay away from the UGJK3 modem, however, it's seems every custom ROM is starting to use it
As far as using a captivate modem with an i9000 ROM, I've tried that also, while it didn't totally brick my phone, I did get random FCs. I've read that is a dangerous path to go down.
I feel the same way. I might try the CogKernel and see if that helps...
Please, please, PLEASE do not post these types of things in Development.

+1 Lets keep this forum area clean .. its just for development stuff guys.
I have had the same issue with all I9000 modems, the only fix that has worked for me is to enter the service menu and force WCDMA 850 Band only. Also, questions should be posted in the question forum.
[this thread is pretty relevant to development - considering the rom chefs are using this modem in their releases and it has a potential major flaw. if the mods find it better to be in Q&A, then please move it - otherwise, i think the right eyes will see it here]
yes, yes and yes!
ive been posting about it in the perception thread, but no one (save for 1 user) chimed in with the same issue.
we both noticed that we both have an issue where we will bounce from 3G to H and back fairly often. this leads me to believe that it could be part of the problem.
i just odin'ed back to stock because my phone isnt receiving incoming calls now.
what i had planned to do was flash the latest perception but use a different modem... but it seems like the only sensible modem is the JK3 (although there is word on the street a new one just leaked?). so that idea is kind of out.
someone here said they were going to try cogkernel2, but i was on setirons and cogkernel2 and it happened with both. it seems to be a modem issue.
i wanted to lock the phone to use 3G only to see if that would help, but no one shared a way how... but reading this post it seems i can do it from the service menu - though i dont know exactly what to set/change to keep it only on 3G. (any help would be great).
so i believe im going to flash perception 8 and see if i can lock it into 3g mode and go from there. this is getting pretty tiring. im hoping if a new modem releases that will help, but i honestly am not sure i can wait since it is making the phone unusable.
below are my posts from the perception thread on the issue.

i searched but did not find...
i see others have had issues with APN force closing. i do as well, but assuming that isnt a problem, i dont mind.
my issue is that after a certain period of time left asleep, my phone will completely fall off the network. changing flight and data mode dont work, nor help. a restart works. this has started a day or two ago, but was not an issue for the first week (give or take). if it is relevant, my network constantly swaps between H and 3G where i live.
i have not found a setting to force 3g (and disable hsdpa) as i figured it was the network hopping that was doing it. am i just missing that setting? anyone else with this issue? (again, i saw people with the apn force close but not complete loss of network unrelated to initial flash)
also, i think that each build should get its own thread. it is VERY difficult to find accurate information on the current build once a thread has 4 builds and 250 pages in it. even with search, it would still be a good idea.
thanks and thanks.

in relation to my post below yours, does locking the 850 band only force the phone to use only 3G, or is HSDPA/HSUPA still enabled but you found the 850 band to be more stable.
this is what my next attempt will be to get a solid platform going.
I've tried different modems other than jk3 and it doesn't fix the problem. Stinks that you've used Cogkernel2 and it doesn't help. I also tried the different band selection in service mode and it also hasn't help me (apparently this worked for some people). If you want to give it a shot do the following:
1. Dial *#0011#
2. menu button then soft back key
3. then phone control -> network control -> band selection
4. good luck!

ugh. that is disheartening. i will try the band lock, thanks.
can you confirm or deny that when you notice your phone goes completely out of service that it has been hopping between 3G and H? it would be interesting to see if we all have that issue as part of it.
also, fingers crossed for that supposed new modem.
/sigh
Yeah this really sucks because these roms are great with this one very big exception. I haven't noticed the hoping before I need to reboot. I have noticed that if I switch into airplane mode once I drop service I can't turn it off.
I had the same issues with Axura and Percetion. I found that switching my network control to WCDMA 1900 only pretty much fixed it. The only problem I had after was that any time I lost service naturally, ie, bad area, or shielded rooms, whenever I came back into a good service area I could never get a signal again. So I would have to reboot.
In the end, I'm back on Cog, 2.3b7 and no issues for about 14 hours now.

I'm using the non oc. I'm not gaming or doing anything too wild with my phone so non is just fine for me.
hmmm, makes me think that's the issue then. most of these roms have kernels that have the oc feature.
hey keener, did you have the oc version of cog?

sadly ive been running non-OC this whole time, so that doesnt appear to be it :/
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.
I'm having this weird issue with my galaxy s. The weird part is that over the last couple of weeks, reception has been zero in a period of time that's been steadily increasing. I've been able to restart the phone to fix it, until yesterday when I couldn't get any reception at all.
But wait, there's more! My sim card works in my girlfriends gs2, her sim card works fine in mine. So, it's only the combination of my sim card and my phone that gives me no reception at all. Also, what could be causing reception to steadily degrade to the point of none at all?
I'm running the team icsgs rc 4.2 with semaphore kernel, but I couldn't post in that thread because of my low post count. So, what I'm thinking is that I should try another modem before I try to wipe and perhaps install another rom. My question is, do I have to use Odin to flash a new modem, or can I just use cwm? Anybody have a suggestion for a particular modem?
So, Ive flashed the KF1 nexus modem, no change at all..
The only thing I haven't tried now is going back to stock rom... Anyone?
I have problems with Nexus S modems (that are so popular last weeks). For me the best modem is original JVU (the CM version). Try with that modem (if not with it already).
Try with the original build, because that reminds me for a hardware problem. You can debug the problem with experiments. Try everything before going to service.
No EDGE/GPRS signal
Hi!
Because I cannot post in development section, I'm putting this here...
Last week I've tried 9 ROMs and different modems and the problem was always the same...
When I'm on UMTS/HSDPA signal, everything works great, but when I'm on EDGE/GPRS signal, I cannot even make a call, or send a message.
This problem is happening to me for the last two weeks... :-(
ROMs tried: teamhacksung's CM9 ALPHA for Galaxy S (BUILD 17, 16), Team ICSSGS RC4.2, AOKP Milestone 4, Build 28 (now using), Dark Knight 3, 4, Elite V9.0
Kernels: Semaphore ICS 0.9.5b, Devil Skorpion Kernel, Midnight ICS 0.9.0-2-HUGERAM (now using), and the ones which comes with ROMs
Modems: XXJVU, XXJVT, XXKF1, XXKD1, XXKB3, AUCKF1, XXJVK, XXJVO and now I'm using XXJW4
When I flash DarkyROM JVU-RE with Odin everything works fine. :-S
So.... I think the problem could be in the ICS ROMs or kernels
If anyone knows how to solve this problem with 2G networks, I would be very grateful.
p.s.
Also, I find my SGS very often bootloop without possibility to enter CWM when I'm flashing new ROM.
And I found a solution for those bootloops, because I'm tired of flashing with ODIN a new GB ROM constantly... after bootloop, I use FixRecovery and flash it with Odin, then enter CWM and install Team ISCSGS RC 4.2 which only starts and make boot image and flash new CWM, so I can flash other ICS ROMs...
Why I'm telling this? - only because the devs could see if they can make other ROMs to start with flashing like Team ICSSGS RC4.2.
Sorry for my bad English. :-$
Edit: @adytum
I have also thought that my SIM card was a problem, so I've exchanged it. Didn't help....
At first the problem was like yours...
Will attempt to install the original stock firmware today (boooo, downgrading from ICS ), but I have my doubts. My service provider have started technical problemshooting at their end, but I have my doubts there too.
To add to the confusion, I discovered that 3g and data traffic works fine, wireless works fine, but calling doesnt work at all. As mentioned, if I put my sim in an other phone, or another sim in my phone, it always works.
I just managed to make it work. In test settings, INFO part (*#*#4636#*#*), after 5 times setting WCDMA only, my phone works only on 3G networks and now I can communicate because it doesn't switch to 2G...
But, I would appreciate if anyone find out solution for problem with 2G.
I hope that this isn't problem with my phone.
As far as your problem, I would try to reinstal the modem, because after trying a lot of new ones, sometimes it just doesn't recognise which one is instaled. JW4 seems the best for me...

If I could hug you, I would! This modem seems to have solved all my issues! So, yes, our problems are probably related to eachother and to ICS. Never got around to try stock or darkys rom, but I'm guessing that would have fixed my signal issues too.
A million thanks to you! (Now I'm just crossing my fingers for stability and that this is not a fluke!)
Well, I'm glad to see that it works...
For me, JW4 have the best signal, and is very stable. And, you know, I've tried almost all other modems, and they were all pretty much the same.
I wouldn't tell you about that modem if I haven't seen that I have HSDPA reception (-95dBm) in the places where I had very poor 2G signal (-103dBm) , and no 3G signal (-111dBm) at all before.
Sorry for my bad English....
Have you tried if other sim cards work in your phone, or your sim card works in other phones? If so, I'm thinking that these issues have something to do with the service providers not being up to date regarding newer android versions. That's really the only logical conclusion I can draw.
I did call my service provider earlier today, they were as stumped as I am, but did suggest to try connecting with 2g and 3g enabled respectively.
By the way, your english is just fine
Well, I was working as tech support at my provider (until last month), so everything is fine with network and signal.
Also, first thing I did was to check SIM card and it is OK. I even exchange my SIM because it was 5 years old -just in case...
Everything works great in other phones, but in my phone only 2G network reception doesn't- even with other SIM cards...
That is very weird, but, I finally managed to set only 3G so, everything works now, but with very poor signal in places where I had EDGE coverage before.
I even thought that could be a problem with my device, but when I flash GB ROM, everything works, so I'm thinking that it only could be a bug in kernel or ROM.
I didn't see much people complaining about this, maybe only because they are constantly on 3G...
I don't know...

And...
Btw, service providers have nothing to update or upgrade with signal, because it is only frequencies they have to maintain and base cell as root. That's why we use SIM card which help our phones decode signal.
Only thing that is up to providers is maintaining the level of signal and its communication with central station, along with base overload in urban areas.
Sadly,
In 98% of problems, it is up to SIM card, device or software on it.
When the problem is up to service provider, everyone in that region- on the same base cells, have it. :-(
So, obviously it can only be ROM/kernel problem or device(hardware) problem. :-(((
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
Obviously the main difference here is that the only thing that ruined reception for me was the combination of my sim card and my phone, every other sim and phone combination worked.
You probably have more extensive knowledge about this than I do, and you're probably right inducing that it is a rom or kernel bug.
In that case, there are two options;
Maybe SIM card didn't set well, or SIM card is damaged.
You can try to see if it is damaged or has something on it and clean it. Otherwise, if it is damaged or just won't work, go and exchange it. It takes just a 5 min. And if you tell that SIM stopped working, they won't charge you anything. And, after that, you'll be sure that SIM works.
It also happened to me in the begining, and I was wondering why my SIM won't work only in my phone. Then, I place it in my old Nokia and after 2 days, I couldn't talk with people and the signal was OK. Then I exchanged it, and everything was OK.
Now, obviously I have a problem with a phone. :-(
Maybe it is a message to me to buy a new one... Note, maybe... ;-)
Anyway, I hope that I've helped you.

Seems I was a little too quick. Problems started again today, but I've managed to fix it for now..
I installed jvu from odin as per the first post in the elite, ICS beta 8 thread. Found that everything worked fine in jvu, and now it also works fine in ICS.
