help neeeded!!! reception prob after updating to gingerbread - LG Optimus 2x

I have got a problem here.
I own a lg p990 and i live in India.
It was basically a froyo (android 2.2) phone but i recently updated it to gingerbread (android 2.3.4)
My phone's baseband version changed to 1035.21_20110725 and from then on i am experiencing a random network loss which is never recovered until reboot.
Sometimes, even reboot fails to bring back network and i am left with no network coverage for many hours or even days.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi, Try to change the ril with getril (on market) try v20l. You have to root your phone to use this.
ps : you are not in good topic to post that. Here is Custom rom, dev etc.. be careful next time

You are not alone in this, this is a known issue.
I switched to CM7.2 RC0 because of this. It does not seem to be baseband related (since I use the same baseband on CM7.2), but I have had this issue in all stock firmwares v20l and higher, and also in Stock-based firmwares (Modaco Custrom Rom, Gueste etc.).
It seems to be some combination with the network and the rom or something. I have given up trying to figure this one out.

i also have the connection problem in all roms with every bb and ril... but this is pretty new, i did not have this pro lem a month ago. i will return this device for warranty repair.

Okay, that's something else then. I don't have this problem with every rom, so it is software related.
See my other two topics for more info on this software problem:
http://android.modaco.com/topic/348271-stock-20l-3g-disconnects-and-huge-battery-drain/
http://android.modaco.com/topic/351019-radio-crashing-on-gr6/

If you can, start with downloading GetRIL from the Play Store and downloading the suggested RIL. That worked fine for me, my BB was also changed to 0725.
If that doesn't work, than you should probably start trying different BB and flashing the approriate RILs for them. However, I would suggest that between BB flashing you let time for the BB to "sink in" and do a couple of reboots.

Hi.
This is wrong tread, you should post it in the right tread, this is for development

i also didnt experience this problem before... my phone gave an excellent reception quality... But after updating it to gingerbread, this happens so soon... even now i am on a constant network loss since two days... and sorry for posting it on the wrong thread...

So, have you tried downloading GetRIL from the store and flashing a matching RIL (after rooting your phone)?

[Q] Galaxy S+ I9001 Problem

Hi Guys
I am hoping that someone might be able to help me.
I have a Galaxy S+ that just randomly reboots. It is running 2.3.3 i believe (Friend is using the phone atm)
I got the phone on contract and actually went through 5 phones (and entire stores stock) only to find that all of them have this issue.
No i believe that its a software problem and not hardware as Samsung themselves have said nothing about it and the Samsung Specialist @ Vodacom (my cellular provide) has said that there isn't anything that they have heard or that they know of.
I have already rooted the phone, obviously the problem was happening before the rooting of it.
So my question is that does anyone think if i updated the rom to 2.3.6 or whatever else is available it might fix the problem?
I would prefer to keep the rom stock but will go with idea's that anyone would have.
Secondly where would i be able to get updated stock Samsung i9001 roms?
O really wanna give me gf this phone at the end of the month so please if someone could help me i would appreciate it!
Many thanks in advance

i'm not sure about the rebooting problem, but 2.3.3 had other problems in my country, u couldn't send an sms if u had 3G ON , so t-mobile updated all the devices to 2.3.5 , it might be a sign that 2.3.3 has some bugs. my opinion would be to flash one of the stock roms out there , or check if u have an update through kies (although i don't recommend updating with kies as there's a big chance it will freeze during instalation - ya , another crappy samsung software).
Thanks mate i think i will def but i am looking for a uk stock rom?
All i can find is german and polish and balkin.

it depends on what u're looking for, i personally prefer stock with a few tweaks here and there. u can check the custom roms available in our dev section, it's not a big choice ,but u can see if any of them suit ur needs.
sudden restart
i am new around here,i got a i9001 and it sudden restarts on every rom i installed, costom or stock. first i taught that it restarts because of its ram, like the memory dump on pc, but then i saw, that i rebooted it and after 10-15 min it sudden restarted. i've been to my carrier for warranty, and what they did it was only a flash of rom version 2.3.6 and they gave it back to me. after about 2 hours since i got it back, it did the sudden restart again. srry for my english.

I tried xxkpu and xxkq1, no problem so far.
If your phone is under warranty, ask for replacing new one.

they said when the phone came back "the phone did not present the problem sent for" on the warranty paper. They know about this problem, but they dont wanna lose money with extra costs for i9001 owners, it was a mistake made by samsung on this model and they dont want to assume it. I read more about this snapdragon oc processor used on i9001 (1.4 Ghz) and it says that it overheats sometimes rarely in first months, but after some heavily daily use it enters a restart loop ( probably after your warranty expires) and the phone becomes useless. sorry to say that for i9001 owners.
"Recently, a growing number of smartphone users experience temperature-related CPU failures that seem to be inherent in Snapdragon-powered devices, and typically manifest only after several months of smartphone use. Symptoms of this hardware failure are unexpected reboots of the phone, especially in higher ambient temperatures and under high CPU load and/or Wifi use. The phone may then enter a "reboot-cycle", which can only be stopped by removing the battery and cooling the phone. Over the period of several weeks or months, this behavior becomes increasingly frequent and occurs at progressively lower ambient temperatures and CPU loads, until it reaches a point where the phone can only be used in refrigerated and/or air-conditioned environments. It is speculated that deteriorating solder bonds of the BGA matrix (i.e., a lost connection between the Snapdragon-CPU and its motherboard) due to thermal stresses occurring in normal operation is the underlying problem for these failures, and CPU re-heating procedures have been proposed to remedy this problem, but so far with mixed results.[23] These hardware issues have not yet been officially acknowledged by companies that use the Snapdragon processor in their smartphones, even though a very large number of devices (HD2, Desire, Evo, Droid Incredible, Xperia, Galaxy S, etc.) seem to be affected. "
this thing is copied from a romanian site, which was meant to be a review for the snapdragon processors.
Sorry for beeing that silly, but did you resetted your phone?
sure I did, like i said, i tryed everything possible, formattin' partions, hard reset, wipe dalvik cache..

continuous signal loss

Hi all,
after several HTC and SonyEricsson phones I landed to an LG Optimus 2x, but I found lots of probs.
With the original Rom I had good signal but it was laggy, with the famous GPS issue, etc. I then installe d a leakd v20o (stock) and solved speed and GPS issues, but now I have CONTINUOUS signal loss.
Sometimes I have no signal and have to switch the device on and off to get it back, sometimes it looks like there's signal but as soon as I try to put a call it says "no signal".
Now I wonder which rom should I use to have both speed and GPS as well as a good signal (and here I mean than when it loses it also recver it fast)
Actual baseband is: 1035.21_20110725
any suggestion?
thank you
I am not sure but maybe you have to change the RIL version. Look up the app "GetRIL" in the market.
Sorry mate if this' goin' to look N00b to you but... how do I choose the right RIL?
EDIT: Nevermind, I found that the app tells you the rmatching one.. goin' to try it

On first run the app told me the RIL matched, but the recommended one was different. TRied that one and there was no signal at all.
Restored the original and now it's bat to work but with same issues.
Is it safe to try several RILs??
Thank you
JapanLover
There's no danger in trying multiple RILs
Did you flash a new Baseband while changing to the Custom ROM you mentioned?
Are you sure you flashed the BB correctly?
The same problem i have me to. After trying all the rooms i stopped on the latest CM7.1 for Lg optimus 2x. you should try to look you signal to your network manually. In this way i don´t lose anymore the signal. The Gps en this rom it connect very well and i don´t have any problem with the signal. Good LUCK
i got this problem before, but after refresh BB, problem solve...good luck !! and make sure RIL is matched
Gueste 3.0 and bb218 with matching ril I have no issues. Maybe quite heavy on the battery with 3G but its always been like that for me.

I already checked that thread but there is no REAL solution there. Disabling automatic time, hard reset and things like that did not solve any of my issues.

Hi mike,
no I didn't. The baseband I have (the one mentioned in my first post) is the one the phone came with.
Do you think I should try another one? Which one do you think is best with the stock v20o (leaked)?
Thank you

changing baseband!
just wondering, if i flash another baseband via SmartFlash P990, will it help or will it render the ROM unusable? anyone can help me with this query?
Don't think you'll break anything by flashing your BB, I did it 2 times already, but of course if you put a BB not compatible with the rom you use your phone will not boot, you'll have to flash a new rom via CWM ... so at least put some rom files ready on your sd card

[Q] Upgrading to ICS has lost me my signal :(

Hi,
I have a Galaxy S GT-i9000 on Orange, UK. I've only had it a week because I bought it off my brother. I upgraded to ICS 4.0.3 and although it seems fine, there is no signal at all, EVER. Although it get's wireless Internet! And the SIM isn't damaged in any way, so it is definitely a software issue. The Internet is a bit strange, because it is coming from my network, not Wi-Fi (it's off, as is bluetooth).
I'm liking ICS, but obviously I need a signal. It was easy to upgrade, I just booted from the zip I placed in the bootloader. But I can't downgrade the same way. I've tried looking for old Gingerbread files, but can't find any! All the Depositfiles.com links are dead. So, ideally I would like to stick to ICS and find a signal fix, failing that I guess it's a downgrade that I need?
Or should I upgrade to Jellybean?
I couldn't find anything on people having similar problems with network loss, but I'm 99.99% certain it is the software causing the issue.
Thanks for reading.

I'm downloading DarkyROM now, but it's going to take 2 hours! Is this the right way to flash a modem? I've not done it before.
Hi
I had a similar problem on my old SGSI. I flashed an ics rom (don't remeber the name) and everything worked apart from the network so no phone calls and no internet apart from with Wifi. Anyway i googled the problem and tried loads of different solutions. After flashing more roms i ended up with the DarkyROM_v11.0_black_edition with the 3.0.17-semaphore_ics_1.2.5s kernel.
This didn't help either. In a last minute test at the end of what felt like the longest day in my life i checked to find that i had damaged one of the contact pins that read the sim card. I bent it back and everything has worked since then. And it's worked well!
Thanks, it was the modem needed flashing! Very simple too I also downgraded to Gingerbread which is faster.
Thanks everyone :cyclops:

I am having the same problem right now, at first I thought that something might have gone wrong with my slimbean rom, so I flashed the latest 4.2.2 and still the same problem...no signal. I tried to use my sim card in a different device and still no signal but my brother's simcard worked on my SGS!! I'm not sure what's happening, maybe someone can explain how to fix this :angel:
