Hi,
I don't know if anyone has heard of this problem or Im just being paranoid, but I installed PocketMax's PhoneAlarm (v 2.13) and was testing some automatic profile switching yesterday, one of which was into flight mode. This worked, but when it came out of flight mode the operator signal strength started to refresh.
ie. GPRS..good signal...HPDSA good signal...HPDSA poor signal...then no signal. The no signal stays like this for some time before the cycle starts again.
Not sure if this could be the weather but it's been clear and cold and checking my sim out on another mobile shows a good steady signal.
The reason why Im pointing to Phone Alarm is that all was well up until this point, before playing with the automatic profile switching into flight mode.
If anyone has any ideas or a setting that can be stabilised in the registry to stop this then Im all ears.
Thanks for you anticipated help or solution.
Apologies if this has been covered already
Not sure if this is relevant or not but:
I noticed that when I upgraded to WM 6.1 my flight mode acted all kinds of strange. Even if I manually put it in flight mode I could sometimes not get it to come out of flight mode and turn the radio back on unless I soft reset the device.
Hi dalavar ,
Thanks for the response. It was fine before and hadn't noticed any problem with signal dropping before upgrading to 6.1, even when looking at flight mode on the comms manager. This suddenly happened after coming out of flight mode using phonealarm Wednesday mid-dayish and has been acting like this since.
I've tried resetting and even reflashing the rom to see if would set things back to normal and still no joy, the same thing happens. The latest thing I tried was a different sim in the phone and again the signal cycles and stays on no service more than another signal. It seems to indicate a phone problem, as I've tried the sim in another phone and the signal is ok.
Im not sure if it could be the weather as it colder than usual where I am and wounder if these phones are prone to not being able to hone in on a signal when ice crystals are in the air deflecting the signal, as a friend suggested, but I think that would affect all phones.
Any further idea's would be gratefully appreciated.
I've discovered, purely by accident, that when I disable the 3g (using duttys 10 button comms manager) the signal comes back and stays, I'm only getting GPRS not HSDPA, at present, which I suppose is something. Under the phone settings I also notices that it is set to GSM and not auto. Something probably I did when trying to find out why this problem occured.
Im trying to set it back to auto (this is what the 3g button does on dutty comms manager), under phone band settings, which was the default setting and this is when the signal problem reoccurs.
Wondering what this auto is looking at?
Where the settings are for it to look at so if it looking for something else I can change it back.
Anyone have any ideas?
Just an update.
This seems a common problem amongst some uk 3G networks, I found forums where Orange and T-Mobile customers had suffered the same problem. Months where 3G working fine then 'Cillit Bang' and the 3G's gone!
It could be the sim has become faulty (rare, but not unknown)
It could, in fact, be that the signal is bad in the recent cold snap here in the UK, which I hoping is the case and when the weather warms up I can test this theory and set 3G back to auto.
Update.
This morning it was still not wokring on auti, at around 11:30 I tried again to turn auto on and now the phone os working again with 3G enabled, but it's only coming up with GPRS.
Not sure if it was the weather as now we are at 9 degress rather zero or in the low minus, and it did appear to come back when the temp increased or could be the network provider has been playing with the transmitters.
Now just awaiting HSDPA to come back.
Still not working correctly. Again it drops signal unless I switch back to GSM. Getting this diagnosed.
Hi all,
I have a AT&T Nexus One and this thing seems to periodically lose 3G access. It will be working fine, I sleep the device, and when I go to use it I notice there is no 3G or WIFI connectivity showing, just signal bars. To get WIFI and 3G to work again I need to toggle airplane mode.
This perplexes me quite a bit, and it is VERY annoying. It randomly happens throughout the day with no real reason behind it (as far as I can tell).
More info: I have experienced this issue while using stock ROM with Froyo, the HTC Sense UI ROM for the N1, and evil D's Froyo ROM.
Has anyone else experienced this? It doesn't drop to EDGE but actually just loses all connectivity until an airplane toggle.
Thanks in advance everyone!
Hi to all,
I am having problem when internet data (edge or 2g) is on my signal drops.
This happen after screen is lock and I return from lock screen, signal drops and it comes back after a minute. It happens most of the time, and sometimes when somebody calls or send sms to me I don't see anything and it don't shows me also after signal comes back.
If internet data is off this never happens.
Also to mention when I was on 2.3.6 version, I didn't have this problem never, but since I updated to ICS 4.0.3 is happening also with CM9 same problem.
If anyone can help I will be really thank-full.
I just did the 4.3 OTA update and my WiFi keeps turning on and off on the phone. It loses connection and reconnects once a minute. Any ideas?

Took the OTA yesterday and I am not having that happen to me at all.
No issues here.
UPDATE:
Its not just my Wifi. Its the 3G too. All data drops out and connects again about once a minute. Spent an hour on the phone with Sprint. They tried everything including a wipe and hard software reset and still the issue is there. Only thing I can think of is that they snuck in some optimizing software or something. Either way, I now will need to go to a corporate sprint store. Really do not want to replace this phone that I have had for 27 days with a refurb, so any ideas will be welcomed.

I was having the same issue, do you live in an area with 4G? I don't and I think it was the cause. I think my phone was 'programmed' to think there was 4G around, but there wasn't. I kept seeing eHRPD under network info. I think it might be a 4.3 bug, bc I went back to Viper and it worked fine. Not really sure, but Amazon replaced my phone and now I'm scared to go back to 4.3 and get plagued with the bug again. I also think the new radio gave me issues, so I downgraded to the original radio also
This happened to me, it was a mixture of a damaged N antenna and bad sprint lte performance. Reverting to a g router fixed the problem for me. You should try a different router. Now fixing your regular signal, that's something you'll have a tough time with. I recommend you go to a sprint store and get a replacement asap though, my suggestion is not a fix, just a temporary measure. Curious, did you try the GPE rom by team nocturne? This issue started once I reverted from the TN GPE rom to stock. I think that rom may have damaged my radio/antenna. It's just a far fetched theory but plausible nonetheless. And a risk I took willingly, but still, I'm just curious to clarify if it was tinkering or sh*tty htc components.
I personally think it is just 4.3. I didn't have any issues with 4.1.2 with my WiFi or connectivity. I've even tested it and my WiFi drops like crazy only on 4.3 but is fine on 4.1.2, so I reverted back and haven't had any issues.

I found this just now.. towards the bottom there's a dialer code *#*#4636#*#* if you do that and change to gsm/wcdma/lte (something like that) it resolved my problem with 3G not working. Wifi might be my router
I have looked in the settings and sometimes the power saver will automatically shut 3G of it will not reconnect with a disconnected I switch to LTE / CDMA only have had no issues and also the wifi is meant to do that to conserve battery you should be able to disable the wifi in advance I'm not short just my thoughts

Idk. In 4.3 all my settings were correct (*#*#4636#*#*) and I turned all battery conservation off and my data (3g and WiFi) would cut out intermittently while I was using it. I've tried that on stock and all other 4.3 ROMs, I think it might just be my phone not liking 4.3, but YMMV. Stuck on 4.1.2 until I get the Note 3.
It's a power save feature if you have enabled Power Saver. Basically if you haven't used the connection in a while it turns it off until the next scheduled update check or your screen turns back on.
I have been having the same exact issue and it is driving me nuts. I have problems at home, work and anywhere else I use Wifi so it is not just one router. I have tried numerous 4.3 roms and was about to roll back to 4.1.2 to see if that fixes it.
Was starting to think that I was crazy, glad I saw this post!
I'd hate to be (just kidding, I love being) the smart alec here, but your post title says "Wii turning on and off." I clicked on this thread wondering how your phone update was turning your Wii on and off.
I'm having the same problem after the update. Wifi turns on n off, so will my 3g/4g while I'm using it. Didn't have this problem before the update so I doubt it's hardware related.

Same here. I assumed it had something to do with the fact that they're working on lte in my area.
UPDATE:
At work (50 minutes from home) the 3G and Wifi spots I try are working fine. No strobe connection. But at home both Wifi and 3G blink. I know they are working on the antenna near home, so it must be the issue. Have tried shutting off mobile data while on wifi, tried both wifi antennas at home, can't seem to get the strobe effect to go away.

Yes, I messed up typing Wifi. At least with Wii up there get grabs people's attention.
So I have noticed this problem since the 4.3 upgrades have been out and it continues through the 4.4.2.
I have this problem at home on WiFi, when I am at home I have terrible cell coverage usually bouncing between no coverage and one bar. It seems that when I am bouncing between no cell coverage and one bar my WiFi drops and immediately reconnects.
I had originally thought that my access point was the culprit as I hadn't noticed it happening when I dropped in and out of cell coverage. So I replaced my WiFi system as the one I was on was 8-10 years old. So upgraded to new hardware (WiFi) and tried both 2.4g and 5g and problem persisted.
I have used stock roms, and others, currently on ViperOne 5.8. I have updated to the most current firmware along the way, I even flashed a full RUU and started over last weekend. In addition I have this issue on all three devices in the house (all HTC One M7's).
So today I tried something I should have thought of sooner. I put the phone in airplane mode and then turned on WiFi and noticed that the problem went away, consistent WiFi, no WiFi drop, bounce, etc.
So anyone have an idea as to why this would happen and how I can solve it or is it something that is not solvable except by HTC/Google?
Thanks all.

I think this is an HTC bug. I've seen many users here complain of this on the Sprint model. I have the same issue as well. I have mine set so I can see if I am on 4G or 3G even while I am connected to WiFi. I notice this bug happens exclusively (and nearly every time) when the phone goes from 4G -> 3G.
I had a similar issue but when i updated radios it went away

I don't have 4G in my area so that isn't a factor for me but I can see potentially this happening between 2G and 3G and I am usually roaming here so that would make sense.
Thx.

Most of the people I've seen with this problem had it start with the latest radio or the one before it. The latest radio definitely does not fix it here.
This also happens to me at home while connected to my WiFi , really annoying ,or sometimes if I'm at work .no WiFi connection ,it'll show I have 3g but won't let me load pages.

I had that problem as well, I even called Sprint, and they sent me an Airave which is on it's way now. Yet, the tower near my house (6 miles away) was fixed-ish today and it stops that whole reconnect and disconnect garbage. Plus, I get lte in about 80% of my house. This wifi mess was going on since December and I put my phone on roaming most of the time to make it a little more stable.
Just reporting back. I reverted to the previous radio this morning and my connection seemed to stay on. Not sure if I'm trippin or if it really is working better .gomna test it out some more and flash the newest radio and check if there's a difference.
