3g keeps turning on

I hope someone can help me with this. if i turn off data connection in comm manager it automaticly turns back on. i tried to stop the weather program and e-mail sync. but that does not seem to work either .
there must be something i am doing wrong . i always thought that the comm manager was a sort of master switch just as it works with wifi or flightmode. which does not turn on automaticly.
battery life is taking a big hit from 3g always on and not to mention data cost when traveling.
Thanks,
Rob

There was another tip provided on Diamond forum how to switch off 3G transfer and it works for TP also.
I'm wondering because on my TP I have 3G icon or E or G but it doesn't mean that I'm transfering any data and depleting my battery right ?
It's just information that 3G is available from provider right ?

I've found this solution on ... Polish Diamond forum
You need to use nodata soft

Just install and untick connection you want to disable.

thank you, will try it out!

SMS wont be sent until restart

Hello.
I have a problem with a Touch HD2. Sometimes, when I send a message, it doesn't get sent until I restart / reboot the phone. When I do, all the messages gets sent at the same time.
I had the same problem with a Touch HD some months ago.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks for help.

hmm, interesting one, what is your device currently set to for sending messages, i.e. GSM, GPRS?
Have you recently updated rom, radio or changed ril?
Have you tried running automatic setup again?
Can you provide more info please

Yeah, could be a radio problem or your phone not logging onto local masts.
Try a manual roam,.... Go to your network selection, search for available networks, then pick a network you are not on, ideally a network that uses a diff network frequency band thing. So if your nwtwork uses 900 research one that uses 1800 or vice verser. When you select this 'wrong' network it sould give you some kind of error and you should lose all network coverage. Then re select your correct network.
Try power cycling,... Turn off your phone, remove SIM & Battery, hold power button for 5 - 10 seconds. Then put everything back in and turn on.
Last one,... Go onto internet on handset, load a page you have never been on before that has alot of data on it, amazon or something, while its trying to load the page pull the battery out. Then power cycle as above.
I worked for Vodafone Cust services about 8 yrs ago,.... those 3 things usually sorted network issues.

I have exactly the same problem on my HD2.
It's very occasional, and just a soft reset is necessary and everything's fine again.
I don't know why this happens.
Thanks

[Q] Sensitive button issue, quite strange

Hello dear community,
I have a strange issue with my HTC ONE S:
HOME button activate on itself and loop(switch from miniatures to home page). After a while the three buttons are de activated.
Interrupt any activity you can have.
Not due to hand/finger misuse: it can happen phone lying on a desk…
Remark: It happens only when GSM/3G signal is very low. Plane mode solve the issue, but then it is hard to phone...
you can find a demo of buttons deactivated here(http removed I can't post links):
youtu.be/gfzBbMPHqjE
Do you have similar situations?
Do you think I should send it back to supplier? Or a baseband update could help if I'm patient?
Versions:
Android: 4.0.3
HTC Sense: 4.0
Software number: 1.53.401.2
HTC SDK API level: 4.11
HTC Extension version : HTCExtension_403_1_GA_4
Kernel version: 3.0.8-01500-ge2a40ab
Baseband version: 0.15.31501S.19_10.12.31501S.06L
Browser version: WebKit/534.30

OK, I suppose I'm alone in this situation...

Looks like a good return reason.
Some Antennas are directly behind the snsitivie buttons (below the lower plastic cap) so maybe some are misaligned and cause interference bad enough to trigger the buttons. You mention of using flight mode to cease the problem kind of makes me think this might be the case.

Im getting similar issue. Had this twice, thought its because of "shock", had this while driving and using maps, but just had it in my hands...
Any info about this problem?

issue gone
Hi,
The bug didn't happen since 4 days now.
I travelled by car on 350km using GPS, sms...
No more issue even with low signal.

Hello,
at the beginning I did 2 factory reset but the bug still happened.
Then no other change.
what I can notice is that the radio signal level is changing all the time between very different value even if not moving...I think there is some kind of radio instability...
EDIT: "WCDMA Only" setting is the key! That disables EDGE that is the source of problem.

Home screen button problem
Hi,
I'm also having this problem and am about to get my third replacement One S. I started a thread about it on the Vodafone forum which a few other people have now replied to with the same issue, although no one as yet can figure out exactly what's going on. I too think that it has something to do with the antenna being located near to the home button, as the problem seems to show itself every time I make an EDGE connection. HTC are apparently investigating my issue and have asked me to send them a bug report.
I'm not allowed to post the link to the Vodafone thread on here however you can find it by typing "htc one s home button problem" into Google.

After today I stopped believing its releated to H/3G signal change.
I just unlocked my phone (gps/wifi/mobile data - all OFF) and right after unlocking home button glitched... Didnt do anything...
Im gonna go for exchange soon
P.S. question - how are phones exchanged for you guys? They take it and send to service center, or just exchange right away? How it works? Never done that

I'm with Vodafone and they just offered to exchange it as soon as I explained the problem to them (I was within 7 days of having received it). The second phone had the same issue though so they then agreed to replace that as well, but they then sent me a reconditioned phone by mistake, so I'm now waiting for a fourth phone.

Hi
I did some testing and this issue is linked 100%, to EDGE. When "WCDMA only" is set : no issue.
HTC ONE S is unusable on EDGE network...

Hello
i instantly register on XDA forum because i have exactly the same issue with my HTC One S.
I have it since four weeks, i was very satisfied but this issue appears to my parent's house. Exactly the same issue: HOME button activate on itself and loop(switch from miniatures to home page). After a while the three buttons are de activated.
I returned at home and the issue disappears!
I confirm the pierre.grand's observations: i'm in EDGE to parent's house and WCDMA at home.
How to alarm HTC on this disturbing issue? I hope an update firmware will be soon...

Loop Problem
i have the exact same problem, but it seems that
the problem wont go away after turning off edge (mobile data)
Anyhow, it seems like its acting up when i shake the phone?

It looks like the problem on my phone is when edge/3g or wifi is connected
When i turn of wifi and edge/3g the phone acts pretty nice!.
Is this related to firmware or hardware, ?
if its fw its no use compling to my the store, HTC Support does not "know anything about this error...".
Has anyone experienced this problem, and tried flashing costum rom?
do the problem still follow?
Thanks for all help.

Kim

I have the same problem. But I have installed Trickdroid 1.0,
CWF did not solve the problem.
cu goohnie

Phone returned.
But they sent it back to me syaing there is no problem. They made a firmware upgrade.
I'm now waiting for it.
Do you have some feedbacks?

How long did it take for the problem to appear? I'm always on EDGE with Wi-Fi on (due to TMOUS' lousy coverage at my home) and I haven't had any problems.

It's happening on EDGE used as data connection: that means no WIFI.
The signal has to be low(problem doesn't occur if signal is correct) and the phone has to be switching very often between EDGE and 3G.
Then when it is in EDGE, the issue occurs.
If you try to switch off the screen, it takes screenshots(HOME combination with POWER button, normal behaviour since HOME button activates all the time).
If you put you finger on the HOME button, the flickering stops.
After a while, the buttons deactivate on their own and the touch screen works fine.
Then you can switch the screen off and then on the buttons are back.
after a while if you are in the same location the issue reappears(difficult to give you the exact frequency since it's linked to sognal force it depens on the place you are standing).
I was using a back cover at the beginning and it makes the issue more present, I suppose this is because of the reduction of signal that happens...
At home I have a great signal, then even if I force EDGE only I get no problem...

Tried to make the problem show up (select WCDMA only, let it connect and then switch to auto and let it drop to EDGE) and nothing happened. Also had a few "natural" 3G-2G drops with no problem. US phones could be different (different bands) though.

I have exactly the same problem.
It's happend only on edge, 2g mode.
That might be problem with more phones. People please check your mobiles, switching only on 2g(gsm) mode and turning off wifi.
My phone always gets mad when the single data packet is send.
Unfortunatly that makes phone unusable for me, in work i have only GSM coverage, the same in home. I can use internet only in the places where is WCDMA or wifi.
People better check your phones, nobody knows when phone may fail you if you'll be in GSM coverage only.

[Q] Desire S loses signal on calls and unlock

Hello XDA, I have only just registered here but I have been an avid reader of the Desire S forums for a year ever since I got my phone. My phone has been playing up for some time and I've not let it bother me too much but now it's getting quite annoying. It is an unbranded Desire S btw. I have searched but haven't found anyone complaining of the same problem.
The problem is as such: I first noticed in my house the phone seems to lose signal quite easily, fair enough it's a big house, lots of walls, I can understand that - moving to another room usually resolves the issue. However, what's more concerning is I've noticed it drop from fine to nothing in the same place. Even stranger still, if there is an incoming call and I go to pick up the handset, 9 times out of 10 it will lose all signal. Now my gf thinks I keep hanging up on her...
EDIT after further testing, i have think I have found the root of the problem... If I turn the screen on (call or no call) after two seconds or less it will lose all signal whether I leave it at the lock screen or open it. I suspect the problem may be something to do with the kernel governor. I would be grateful if anyone has any insight into this rather frustrating problem
I tried flashing the latest radio (below) but this has not solved my issue.
For reference, I am running the following:
ROM: IceColdSandwich v8
HBOOT: 0.98.2000 ENG S-OFF
RADIO: 20.71.30.0833U_3831.17.00.16_M
NETWORK: ORANGE

errr, i dunno if it works for you but whenever i at home i switch my network to use only 2g as it is much stronger and i barely get/no 3g signal where i stay, but if i am out i switch that off to get 3g signal. give it a try.
hope it helps :-/

Thanks for your suggestion, I will try it for a while and see how things turn out. I have set in the Mobile Networks settings menu to use 2G only and also for my 'Home' profile in Tasker I have included change mobile data to 2G only.

How did you get on with this. I have the exact same issue with mine.

As well as the above, I have also turned off the power saver mode in the ROM Control menu. It seems to be running fine so far. I haven't tested each option individually yet to narrow down the solution but at least it's working.
I personally suspect the problem is to do with the power saver menu because I had enabled switch to 2G on screen off, so whenever I would turn the screen on it would restart the radio and switch to 3G.
