Suddenly lost signal - Motorola Droid 3

Suddenly I lost signal. I thought I could be that I have bad coverage or reception but I chance my chip to a friend's phone and it worked, so it's not the chip. I took out the chip so many times and reboot the phone but still nothing... any idea what could be happening?

Ok dumb question but it is not in airplane mode is it

although you may want to back up apps first

Use the Xt883 rom, way better than the crap american one.

Are you talking about these files?

I live @ something like 800m from the Vodafone BTS, and usually I have full signal and the data performances you can see in my signature.
With the verizon rom the phone shows barely 1 signal bar, so I think that the os is fooled by this incorrect measurement and switches to 2g unnecessarily.
With the XT883 rom the signal level is back to normal, the H is shown instead of 3g when data are exchanged, and the sim toolkit is present (very important for me to manage my two twin sims).
Btw the modem performances are still way inferior than an average European phone, hardly i get more than 3.5/4Mbps

Can you please tell me how you flashed the files? RSD Lite doesn't want to flash the SOLANA_SLNCT-57.1.40_Fastboot-service.xml.zip.
This is a Clockwork Recovery isn't it?
THANKS AGAIN!

Unpack it first and then use rsdlite

Thanks, it worked with RSD Lite 5.4.4, I used 4.6 first. Now hoping...

Problem solved...
Many thanks for your replies. No it wasn't in airplane mode. I thought it could be a problem with the cel anthena or maybe the a damage SIM but it was a problem of the operator, the radio signal has issues.

Problems with new phone

Hi,
Got my new TD2 on Saturday and think that it is a very good phone.
Now the probems:
Awlful radio reception (swapped over the sim and put it into my old Touch Cruise and get full signal- so i know its the phone)
Keep getting the following error messages:
"An error occurred with gwes.exe" also get "shell32.exe" errors. I report the error to Microsoft and have informed HTC, will update if i get any response.
Has anybody had any similar issues?
Have not had any of the issues. Maybe if you supply your ROM and RADIO Versions and what region you are in it may help?
Radio reception on mine is pretty good on all the stations here. I don't really use it though but have tested.
Rom version- 1.39.405.2 (47382) WWE
Rom date- 04/07/09
Radio version- 3.43.25.19
Protocol- 61.20t.25.10u
Using T-Mobile in the UK (Wiltshire)
Hope that this helps.

If you mean bad GSM/3G reception, you're certainly not alone. 3G is particularly poor, you really need to be in a strong signal area to use 3G.
You may get some improvement by changing the phone settings from "automatic" to only using your network, and the band settings to the UK bands only.
Other than that, we're all praying for an upgraded radio rom soon.

Yes, i see from other posts that signal quality is an "issue" at the moment. Got usual response from HTC (reset/hard reset/move aropund location/send back to retailer- might do this)
Tried changing bands to automatic, which was fine when had a signal, but when lost it, wouldn't find it again.
With the other issue, told to hard reset by HTC and wait and see what happens.

Have you hard reset..... do those other problems still exist?

I have hard reset, and (touchwood) i have not had the error messages since, will keep updating as necessary.
Yeah, think i spoke too soon, it started to error again with shell32.exe, noticed that i am not the only one by using a search engine, it seems that there are a few issues with Windows Mobile.
Spoke to HTC UK again, and after another hard reset, will be sending it back to the retailer for DOA replacement.
Not the best start, but seems that is the price you pay for having brand new technology in this day and age!

Can't call when 3g is on

I can't make phone calls when 3g is on, with 2g is fine. I went back from miui to cm7 and finally to stock and still i can't call.
Do you think is possible that some hardware failure can lead to this?
More info: changed baseband too, i have this problem also if i change sim
If you changed the BB on your phone then why don't you revert to the previous one and check?
I would not exclude a problem with your carrier's network
I changed the baseband after this problem occured, I tried a different carrier (Vodafone, my carrier is TIM) and calling when 3g is on works
I'm gonna wait if they fix things

Maybe it could be obvious but...Did you try to change Ril by using getrill apk?
Non si sa mai ^_^
Si (Yes)
I tried changing Radio with different basebands but I have the same result, call ended immediately.
Now I'm on Cyanogen 9 and i'm keeping the ril that comes with it.
Calling with 3g works under Vodafone Italy, Tim doesn't.
I've found a post (in Italian) of one guy having the same problem with TIM one month ago, like me he was thinking that the phone was the problem but it wasn't. For this guy the problem got magically solved, probably a TIM fix.
Problem got solved automagically

Hi Electroman!
In O2X you have Baseband and RIL. I believe you can think of these as the antenna drivers/firmware.
When you change a ROM usually this changes the RIL, then it is recommended that you download an app called GetRIL to download a RIL that matches your Baseband.
If you go to Settings -> About Phone you will be able to check what's the version of your baseband.
It is possible to change this baseband. I think the easiest way is by flashing a zip file using CWM, I've never done it because I haven't had any issues with calling or data network or whatever.
Some people claim that some basebands are better with some networks than others, so your call quality might improve if you change baseband, depending on what network provider you have, but then again, I haven't had any issues so I wouldn't know.
I'm almost sure that spica meant RIL, you can change it with an application called "GetRil" from the market, you need a phone with root available ( check the forums for that, it means you can run commands as you were the admin of your machine, unix style).
If that doesn't work i suggest two things: check other carriers with your phone, and check your sim card on other phones. So you can have an idea of what could be the problem.
Thanks again, LarsPT and gasgas. The thing is I haven't changed anything on the phone yet. Everything's still stock. I don't know but this could have something to do with the carrier I think. Maybe I'll give them a call.
It turns out Windmobile doesn't support 2G, and that's why the phone didn't show any signal.

guys plz i need help with my network signal!

hi everybody. my network signal is weak i looked for many ways to solve this problem but all of them did not work " i changed my rom to many roms such as GB 2.3.3, 2.2, cm9, and now my celphone with MIUI.. also i changed the modem many times with miui. all i remember r "radio-cm7-galaxyS-JPM-signed.zip and JVU from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158783

Download the firmware for your region, the correct one, and flash through odin.
Hope you have flashing knowledge. and that will fix the modem issue.
thx my friend .. ya know how to flash with oden ... one more Q is my problem in the modem 100%?? can the problem be in the hardware?
i was in the Official GB 2.3.3.. is it the same thing or i have to try this one also?
Modem can be the main problem if you dont have signal at all.
But even after flashing the correct rom and modem for your location and you face the problem there could be chances of hardware, very rare though, or could be the area your living at, far away from the city or maybe some area that dosnt fall under a proper network coverage.
could be anything. Just flash the correct firmware rom modem whatever, check that your at an open good place, call and message your friends and check for network problems. Hope this helps.
thx friend.. there is a signal but weak and NOT about the aria i live in coz my brother has HTC with the same network nothing wrong also my sis has Nokia n8 with the same network company also nothing wrong at all clear sounds receiving and sending not as my cellphone many problems with sending and receiving sounds i hear them clearly but they barley hear me and sometimes the line goes off!
this problem is killing me.. plz help
up up up up up
you're wiping cache and dalvik cache in recovery before flashing these modems? also, don't plug your charger/usb in while doing it; it's known to cause zero signal when flashing UCKF1, even though it would work otherwise.
Also: you could try entering service mode and checking your settings there.

Oh, I linked to you the wrong post in that thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9201884&postcount=2
First one, for signal -- choose menu items by the numbers like he said.
Also find out what bands your network uses (both for calls and data) and make sure you have the right settings -- they likely should be; they'll be in that services menu.
Sorry, figuring this out will take you a lot of searching, reading and playing around. Just note down what you do so you can go back to it if you have to.
man i did what he said and there r 1.8.3 but 6 not there in my menu there r just 1.2.3.4.5 ... 6 is not there????????
up up up up plz help
:'(
what should i do?? i'm going to throw it
Please try your SIM card in any other cell phone (eg. your sister's). If it has the same weak signal then it's possibly the card that is caussing all your trouble. I heard of similar problems when people received new SIM cards from providers because of network issues. I don't have any idea what a SIM card has to do with signal strenght but that's just what I was told.
If this also doesn't work then it might be your hardware.
nothing works :'(

Try flash a stock firmware let it boot and see if the problem persist, if all is OK then flash back to your preferred rom.

[Q] Problem with data after installing stock JB 4.1.2 EU

Hello, everyone! :laugh:
I'm new on this forums but I want to contribute as much as posible. In this moment I have a question, though; my RAZRi was filled with bloatware from Telcel (my operator in Mexico), so I decided to install a retail stock ROM, specificaly that labeled EU (I also tried with the GB one).
Apparently everything was fine, I even installed the CWM and rooted my phone, but I started to notice that my 3G and HSPA data weren't working. The phone showed the 3G and H+ letters in blue and apparently I had internet, but data is not received at all; the up arrow blinked from time to time but that's it. My WiFi and GPS work as charm.
I'm trying to figure this out because my girlfriend lives in another state and whatsapp is our only link while we're on the street.
Has anyone have the same problem using a stock room from a different country than yours? I'm thinking that it might be a problem with my operator's network because my internet comes back from time to time, but believe me, it's more the time that I don't have internet than the time I do have it, call it a 95 off - 5 on. It's been two days like this and I can't find a solution.
Thank you very much for your help.
Hey Richie,
do you checked the APN ?

It works! And actually I went back to my original stock ROM, just to make sure, and the same thing happens when on 3G/HSPA, no data, but on GSM everything works fine.
I guess that means it's my operator's network, isn't it? I'll have to call and ask them if there's a problem in my area; it's a shame because, in the meantime, I'll have to stay on 2G just to keep my internet working ):
I hope Telcel fix it soon. Thank you very much! :victory:

[Q] N7000 3G Radio failing

I've had my GT-N7000 for about a year. It has been rooted and running various ROMs since I had it and has always worked wonderfully. I had settled on CM 10.1 about a month ago. Since the last 3-4 days I noticed that my 3G signal showed no bars from time to time. Normally, just a quick 'airplane mode' dip and everything would be fine.
2 days ago was still having the same problem and I had to completely turn off and on again to 'maybe' get a signal. If I got a signal, it would only stay there for a few minutes and then disappear.
I changed the SIM card yesterday just to be sure but I still had the same problem. The same SIM card works perfectly well in my GT-I9000 running CM 10.1 as well.
I cleaned the SIM slot contacts, verified the internal antenna wire and even flashed a few modems and still have short lived and intermittent 3G signal. Any idea about what could be happening? Could it be the 3G radio failing on me?
Thanks for any help.
JF.
Anyone?
Does this happen after you move from one area to another? For instance from work to home or Vice Versa?
same problem
Hi there,
I've got the same problem than you. I got my Note 1 year ago, and since few days, I've a problem with the SIM.
On boot or reboot, the SIM is perfectly recognized and works good. I can call without problem, and can connect to the wifi without problem. The problem is when I use 3g, the SIM is not recognize after 1-2 minutes. I mean, I can access internet, do whatever I want, for just a minute or two. After that, the signal drop instantly. I tried:
plane mode: doesn't come back to normal mode cause the phone says there no SIM card
change modem: don't resolve the problem on all XX*** modem for JellyBean
change ROM: I was on German-leaked 4.1.2 Stock ROM, i tried 4.1.2 Switzerland ROM (where I live), 4.1.2 custom ROM and cynogenmod 10.1 (4.2.2). Always the same problem.
Tonight I'll try another SIM in the phone, in the case that the SIM is the problem.
otherwise, I don't know what else to try...

Are you sure it is the radio causing the problem and not the antenna? I know on mine, the USB charge port can be a real PITA when it
goes bad, and I had to buy about 3 before I found one that worked properly. With the wrong one, the radio signal would fluctuate all
over the place, so that's why I wonder if it could be a bad antenna/connection/board problem, since it is contained on the same
board as the USB port?

I had an update..
I figured out that when i change the network mode to GSM ONLY it runs very well and never drops network signal or get the NO SIMCARD message..
but when i change the mode to AUTO or 3G/CDMA it drops network and gets NO SIM CARD after a few minutes !!
still don't know the reason & still searching
Let's talk about this problem. Mine is similar. Not getting errors with aim card but when i place or receive calls while in wcdma mode, conversation is normal at first place, then after few seconds i can not hear other side, and other side cannot hear me, sometimes that call ends and that is it. On gsm only, calls work normally, but internet is not working, while in wcdma internet works... pretty nasty issue. I tried flashing different roms, tried several modems to flash, problem is not disappearing, but from modem to modem i can see improvements. Sometimes it does not drop at all... can you help me with this?
