Rom that fixes Edge/3g mistake?

I did search and I was sure there'd be a thread on this, but I frankly couldn't figure out what to seach for and got no hits. My Tilt makes the mistake of showing an "E" for Edge instead of 3G sometimes. My data rates seem to indicate that this is not just an icon mistake but an actual problem with the radio (though I am still not sure about this). This is all the more strange because, where I live, the telcos skipped edge and deployed HSDPA directly so I have no idea where this phone is getting an edge signal from. I have my Tilt next to a N95 and the N95 is showing 3g and getting faster transfer rates.
So my question is, which of the roms (if any) will fix this? Thanks!

I've had similar problems on my Tilt with every rom I've tried so far. The download speeds vary wildly, and the icon constantly changes between E, 3G, and H. Sometimes it changes every couple of seconds, even when standing still, in a typically good connection area. My GPS connection has similar problems. It's constantly jumping between various satellites, and never seems to hang on to the same one for more than a second.
I really hope a radio upgrade fixes these problems!

Thanks for the reply! That is too bad . Guess I will be sitting tight for an update .

Did you guys call AT&T about this? If they don't know they won't bother trying to fix it...
My Tilt stays on 3G or E, which ever I choose, very solidly. It might be just your area is a little weak on signal, which is a fix done at the towers at your location. So, you'll need to let AT&T know.

I don't know if this is reLated. I do not have 3G in my area but only EDGE. However I find my TyTn II uploading and downloading data at only half the rates to what my HTC Touch can manage. While my TyTn gives me around 100kbs the Touch can manage 200+kbs. I have tested repeatedly by swapping SIMs between the two. Could this be a radio problem?? Can I bank my hopes on a future ROM upgrade??

same issue here. I had to reboot few times and hope for the best. I was in San Jose ( EMC / Yahoo Campus) and was getting EDGE but I rebotted the device few times and it finally picked up 3G.

Been using this rom for a few hours now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341886, and is seems to have fixed my problem. You should give it a try.
BTW, I got a Tilt as a gift but I have never had AT&T service. I am still puzzled as to where the old ROM was finding an Edge signal, as my carrier confirmed they never implemented Edge, just straight from GPRS to HSDPA.

Radio / No signal Problem

Hi guys,
My polaris randomly decided to stop recieving a signal the other day,
it still recieves GPRS data, but no GSM signal, no matter which network etc I select. (No Service Icon.)
First I tried different simcards etc in the phone but this didnt work, I then swapped over the board of the phone, thinking this must solve the problem but it hasnt.. (different Rom, Radio aswell)
Same as before the phone recieves a GPRS signal but no gsm signal. Just the exclamation mark next to the signal meter...
I also tried updating both the ROM and radio on the phone, and the board that I swapped in was from another polaris I had with a cracked screen that was working fine before...
( I used, outer casings from the suspected broken radio phone and the board from the cracked screen phone which had no reception problems.)
What could be the problem guys? Which parts of the phone affect the signal???
( The phone is actually an orbit 2, I have had it running for over a year now on the Mamine rom, and unlocked with Olipro and never had a problem, it also doesnt work with an O2 sim incase anyone suggested it was simlocked or something.)
Cheers,
Dan.

bump- please help guys!

were you moving around? could always be a carrier problem....
if gprs is working ok it's doubtful to be radio rom/hardware

Yeah, it is the same everywhere, just the noservice notification.
Other phones work fine, so def a prob with the phone...
Could O2 have locked the phone for some reason?? It was purchased via ebay, could it have been stolen or something? Would it have had 2 have an O2 signal for O2 to block the phone??
Cheers...

I have a same problem. Firstly, when i turn on my HTC TOUCH CRUISE. It says, no network, than after 5mins, it says, no sim card inserted. Can anyone help me what's the problem?

This problem seems to be popping up a bit around the forum...
Is it with O2 Orbit 2's only?? Could O2 have sent something out blocking some of the handsets via the imei or something?
Is there a solution??
Cheers guys,

I also have strange problems. My Cruise dropped on the floor on a skiing trip last March, and since than it has strange network problems.
It mostly says 'No service', but sometimes (randamly) it says something like 'Searching...', 'Denied,Searching...'
I'm not sure if I translated this correctly, I have a Dutch version of the standard 6.1 ROM. I hard reset, re-flashed to original firmware RUU_Polaris_HTC_NLD_3.13.404.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship.exe
Since this afternoon it is not connecting at all. No reception at all.
My provider is the Dutch one Vodafone (it shoud say '3G Vodafone NL'). Funny is that the those items are unchecked in the network selection (phone --> network --> select networks), but that seems to be the case with other users as well.
Does anyone has a clue?
Greetings,
Murwin.

Same Problem
My Polaris randomly goes offline and gives the ! mark next to the signal meter. I have tried changing Radio ROM and it makes not difference. I think the problem is with the SIM Card reader. I put some sponge tape over the top of the SIM Card reader so it puts even downward pressure on it and the problem is almost fixed. It still randomly goes offline, but only once a day now. If anyone has had any better luck, please post the solution here.
Thanks

[Q] WIFI full signal but no data after few minutes

Hello,
I am having a problem that after few minutes of being connected to my home wi-fi the data just stop going through, with the signal still being full.
I have noticed that similar problems have occured with other devices on the forum (SGS2, HOX, SGS3), but haven´t seen it on HOS. Putting wifi on best performance and sleepmode changes don´t help. Neither static IP. My HD2 works perfectly on the very same network.
Does anyone else experience the same on HOS?
Do you think it is piecewise or typewise? Would swapping the phone for new one of the same type help? (I have 4 days to do that)
Thanks

Galaxy S8+ WiFi Issues

Hi Everyone,
I have seen a few posts relating to WiFi Coverage and WiFi not re-connecting back to wifi automatically but my issue is a little different. I can be happily using my phone and surfing the net when an exclamation mark appears against the wifi symbol and i loose all internet access... but it is not just limited to internet access as when this occurs my access to my philips hue system goes as well.. i keep having to borrow my wifes iphone to turn the lights off...
Anyway, I have been into the samsung repair shop and they want to rip the phone apart and put in a new motherboard... seems a little extreme (and they couldnt do it on friday due to not having the parts, so its going in tomorrow) but i wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing this??
Just to add, this happens when connected to other WiFi Hotspots and i have no issues with any of the other devices i have connected to my network
Cheers

I have problems with the mobile reception on my S22 Ultra on Vodafone UK.
I am trying to find out the correct firmware for my provider and to flash it without resetting my phone.

What router do you use, check its settings. Does mobile reception improve when you are outside?

You are using exynos right?

My wife's first S22 Ultra had horrible connection. Most times she couldn't receive or make any calls. That went on for about 2 months. Went back to Tmo and used the warranty and they shipped us another one. The new one works perfectly as it should have.
I would recommend that if you are having connection issues, contact the carrier/customer service and use the warranty,should be a year. In my wife's situation, the connection issue was the beginning of the phone not working at all. Samsung knows about their hardware issue and hasn't addressed it properly. Its a hardware issue

I have not had a issue with reception once since getting this phone from Samsung.. It is on T-Mobile. No issues with my home router either.

I had S22U half year and from few months I was problems with connection, don't recive messages or messages with trying calls for me in t-mobile Poland.
I put sim card to fold 2 and little smaller but again similar problems, change sim card and again.
Then I change my carrier operator and from 2 months everything works perfect with fold 2.
Now my s22U have girlfriend and too everything works good with her carrier (of course no t-mobile)
In my case issues were with t-mobile. I see a lot opinions who have connection issues have t-mobile and does not matter country.

no mate snapdragon edition

US unlocked on TMobile here. I have fantastic reception both on wifi and network.
If you're genuinely getting 1/10th of the speed on your S22U on the same network as other phones, then that sounds like a hardware issue and a warranty replacement.

Then you need to swap the device. If you had Problems with another Smartphone change your carrier. My snapdragon has very good reception. My exynos has weak singal but its okay use it only as Backup phone
