Hi guys. I tried to search for related topics but didn't find anything.
Occasionaly I lose esge . Since that's what I'm using the most. And there is no icon next to the battery either. I can't open anything that needs internet. Then I try to switch to 3g and I use toggle settings. But nothing happens. No 3g no edge. I noticed that whenever that happens and I go to toggle setting to mark using 2g only . It doesn't stay green. I press it. I go to main menu. Go back and its not marked eventhough it shows green when I press it. After that my only fix is to restart the phone and then it all goes back to normal. Any ideas?
Happens to me, too. Usually after/while tethering. Haven't been able to reliably reproduce it, though.
O ic. The thing is that I have never used tethering..so I guess there is multiple problems..have you seen any other discusion regarding this issue?

i had that issue once .. i turned the phone off and on .. never came back for me
did you flash the radio??
i re flashed the radio and it seems to be working for me.. will keep you posted
you mean reflashing by applying the radio update that jf gave separately? i did it this morning. i hope it was right. if i want to reflash it. do i have to delete somethingor i can just go to home and power and apply the radio update again? do you think its going to help?

yes that one, yeah just go in to recovery mode and update... it worked for me might just be a coincidence.. post if it worked for you
might be something with your location rather than the phone?
I have the same issue but i have pined it down to a certain time every day. I live in a 3G zone and i work in and Edge zone. It has never happened on 3G, but everyday that i am at work on Edge between 9am and 10am PST the icon disappears and all internet connections die.
If i restart the phone it comes right back with no more problems for that day, but the next day the same thing happens. Once and a while I'll go a day without it happening but i would say that happens maybe 2 or 3 times a month. Now some days i notice the moment it does it other times I'm not paying attention and realize I'm not connected anymore when i try to send a message.
I have let it go without restarting to see what happens and it was back on there before 11am PST so i would have to venture to say it has to do with that specific tower in that area. I could be wrong but i don't notice it on my day off at my house on 3G and i really haven't noticed it in any other area with Edge, but unless I'm at work i don't have as much time to stare at the phone all day

ive searched around and google but non that fixed my problem.
started this morning. i don't have any 3g icon or any data connection at all.
did a factory reset, no luck. battery pull, no luck.
my wife tbolt works fine with data so i thought it was my sim fried. well i took hers off and installed it on mine no luck. so i put my sim on her tbolt and works great. so could i have a bad data chip or a bad phone? any help would be great..
Is your phone rooted?
Luke
yes. sorry i should have mentioned that.
rooted running synergy rom. just happened early this morning and wierd part is i can pull the battery and once its rebooted i can see 1x then once 3g pops it disconnects it and all i have is just signal bars no 3g icons or anything.

Do a backup and try flashing a different ROM.
yea ive tried doing my backup i saved. nothing. i went to gingeritis, still nothing. asop roms nothing. i even when back to unrooted and stock and still nothing so im guessing somehow someway phone eff up. could it be possible having a new radio mess things up? i have the mr3 or whatever they call it nowdays loaded to it. i just can't think of what would cause it.

ummm the radio would definitely be more of the problem than the ROM.
First try updating your PRL dial *228 - option 2
If still no luck then I suggest trying a different radio or ask around for similar problems with that radio, maybe someone has a fix.
Flash the OTA MR2 radio.
yea. i went back to stock and s-on and upgraded to the newest software and bam my 3g worked which is weird. but i have one coming on the way so i guess ill just keep this stock till then.
mr3 radio i had it since it came out and never gave me any problems until today. i wonder what happened....
should have tried flashing a different radio see if that helped any... i thought it didn't help any since i reflashed mr3 but damn lol sometimes good ideas always come after youve done it lol. thx guys
update.
installed new update. s-on but the 3g icon disappears after it loads buuut when i click on manual software update the 3g icon pops up and starts download but when i click on browser nothing.whats is up with that.
mobile network on settings says " use phone for data connection when wifi is unavailable" my wifi is off and on my wife says connected instead of what mine says. broken phone but why does manual software update still connects to 3g???
I have this issue when im at work where i get crap att coverage where eventually from being low for so long and staying on wifi my phone signal goes to zero and a grey x shoes up above them.
This wouldnt be so bad but it wont reconnect with a reboot or airplane mode reset which means if i dont check my phone i get no calls or info.
Is this normal? Is there a fix?
Thanks

This is an old issue. I'm not sure when the fix happened or what ATT radio would fix it for you but there is a simple (ish) solution. Basically, whats happening is that when your phone loses signal for an extended period of time it shuts off the radio and then cannot restart it. Using NoBars will stop your phone's radio from dying like that and will just periodically poll for signal.
That will fix the issue but just to satisfy my own curiosity, on your SDcard are there a bunch of files called Radio Dump and then a bunch of numbers?
Sorry posted on my phone and didnt notice the grammar errors
Yes i have the radio dump files but havent checked since installing the F1 radio.
I will try that app since this issue has followed me on multiple roms and radios
If there was a fix i havent gotten it
Thanks man
Edit
Just installed nobars but realized its a battery saver like juice defender
I will keep my hopes up tho
This ONLY happns when at my desk at work where att has no dark hold on me
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
you could try manually resetting your radio if that is actually the problem. just dial *#*#4636#*#* next time you're at your desk and go to phone information. if you scroll down it should say either turn off radio or turn on radio. try turning it on if it's already off, or resetting it by turning it off and then on again. I don't think this would be a permanent fix though. just a temporary solution when the problem arises.

Nobars will shut off your radio and stop it from dying. Trust me it works. My wife and I used it foe months waiting for the issue to be resolved. The radio dumps mean you're having the same issue.

I actually go into the carrier menu when i install a new radio anyway. Going in and out of airplane mode resets the radio but the problem is if I dont actually look at my phone (in my pocket) i wont know the radio shut off and can go through the day without getting any contact. I know its not the rom cause Im on stock. I know its not the radio cause I have tried about every one.
Its got to be a mix of crappy ATT service (which makes me wonder if resigning was worth this phone for free) and the nexus s hardware.
I am seeing if noBars will help. You would think this would be something google would fix ASAP tho as its happened since day one almost.

It is odd since this was a massive issue from day one of the Nexus S but that was before any of the other variants and it was fixed before any of the other variants launched. Since that fix, I've not heard of anyone having the issue any more with any variant. Part of the issue for my wife and I was that we lived in an area where there was really no good cell coverage from any company, so we stayed with T-Mo in spite of that knowing that we were moving soon to an area with great T-mo coverage, but being out of service so much resulted in similar issues as you've had: we would be constantly restarting our phones to see if there was anything we were missing. I do believe this will work for you, and I hope you find a permanent solution soon.
Thanks for the tip but i guess i am the lucky guy who still has the issue lol
Maybe hardware related? I will see what ice cs brings me
For today nobars helped but i did notice some batt drain from it but very minimal so its a keeper for now

My wife and I both have Charges, mine is rooted and running GummyCharged, her Charge is just running stock. After setting her phone up, we noticed a 3G icon with a "d" under it. From doing some searching online, I found a post at another forum saying that the d means "dormant." Just means that the phone isn't sending or receiving any data so the connection is dormant. That part I understand I guess, my problem with that explanation is that when she would have the 3Gd icon, we couldn't even bring up anything on the browser. So it's like the connection went to sleep and nothing we did could wake it up except a reboot.
I guess my question is, does anyone know what this actually is and if there's a way to stop it? Should I just root her phone too and throw a ROM on it because I haven't seen that icon since back in the Razr days.
There is another thread in the general section about signal issues. Several different thoughts. You could always toggle the data connection from 4g to 3g then back or someone suggested to airplane mode then back. Its all a crazy mess but check out the other post. The other day it happened to my wifes phone and mine. She is stock and Im rooted. Actually had the problem last night I was downloading great and then all of a sudden boom.

Thanks for the info! I may have looked at that post, not sure though. I looked at a lot of posts but none of them addressed my wifes exact issue. I'll check it out though, thanks again!
I haven't seen a thread for this yet so here goes.
My 4g connection is completely unreliable if I'm using GPS or bluetooth. This didn't happen with 1.53.x
I've found that since updating if I'm using either for more than a few minutes that my data connection will go 2g or disappear entirely until I stop using gps or bluetooth.
Anyone else seen this>
Me 2 but with different problem
My HTC One S got an upgrade while I'm at school. Then I press update...........
While update in progress. I'm horrified to see the page where you can do wiping roms.............................
I pressed reboot system............
After it rebooted the Wifi is error
Sad.......................................................................

Same here, I have the exact same problem right after the update and I need wifi bad.
I also just upgraded and now I have the wifi error. I'm sure HTC has been notified of this bug and are working on it, but it seed like a lot of people before me got the upgrade a couple days ago and didn't run into such problems... I'm in Houston, Texas if that helps any

That's not the exact same problem if you're losing wifi. So far, only mobile data is dying for me.
It looks like Tmo or HTC fubar'd the radio with this release.
If you have WiFi problems, get WiFi fixer from the market, it will say it was unsuccessful then reboot. it should work,after, even though it said unsuccessful.
Still not okey.................

I tried the way.
My Wifi is still completly dead. Are there any other ways?
WiFi working fine for me. Will test data tomorrow when back in coverage.
Well, I spoke too soon. My wifi is unreliable too. It seems to disconnect very frequently when the phone is sleeping even though I have 'always on' checked and have toggled it off and back on just to make sure.
thanks a lot tmo. I had a reliable radio before this update. I should have listened to that little voice telling me to wait.
Here's an exchange I just had with tmo support.
Customer Chat
%Mary G: I apologize for the inconvenience. What is the issue with the update? I can help with that.
michael harrison: I've had my phone almost two weeks and had very reliable 4G (Dallas area) and mostly reliable wifi. The only problem with wifi is that sometimes I'd get back home and it wouldn't automatically connect. I'd have to turn wifi off and back on. Except for that, the radio was solid.
Bluetooth was also reliable though the range was only about 20'
Since the update, 4G, wifi and bluetooth are very unreliable.
Mobile data drops out for no reason (I can be sitting in one location and it will completely disappear), wifi is turning off or losing the connection frequently while the phone is sleeping (I have the option to keep wifi on always turned on) and bluetooth has a range of about 4'
%Mary G: I see that our Engineering is working on this issue for the HTC One S. If you want to go back to the old version, we can do master reset for the phone.
%Mary G: For that step, I apologize, at this time we are not able to provide additional assistance for your issue via live chat. Please contact one of our Technical Care representatives at 1-800-937-8997 from a phone other than your T-Mobile handset. Please select the appropriate voice prompt and your call will be forwarded to a representative for assistance. Thank you for choosing T-Mobile, we value your business!
Master freakin' reset?!
I noticed that my 4G seems to go to sleep and does no work until I for a lack of a better word "Wake up the phone"
One more for the radio-problem pile...
It appears that if I'm on Wifi and I start a GPS app (like my tracks) and drive out of wifi range, I'll never get a mobile data connection. Wifi cut off (at least, the icon disappeared) but even closing the app (and verifying that the gps icon went away) doesn't result in mobile data coming on line.
I had to go into airplane mode and back out. The I ended up with a 4g connection.
Is it just me or does the throughput speed now suck AFTER the update?
I used to get 12-14mbps down and 6-7 up, and now im getting 4.5 down, 1.5 up.
Seriously T-Mobile? How hard is it to release something that WORKS?

Funny you blame T-Mobile as they are NOT software developers. You need to be pointing that finger at HTC.
can't shut off the phone after update
I got my new HTC One S yesterday and the first thing I did after activating it was a manual check for updates.
I knew I should have checked the forums first but I'm an update junkie.
I guess I have been running CM7 for too long and I forgot about how bad the HTC OTA to 2.3.3 on my Inspire 4G was.
I haven't seen a post yet about not being able to turn off the phone after the update.
I press and hold the power button on the top and the Shut Down/ Airplane mode/ Restart menu comes up.
I select Shut Down and the phone does what looks like a Fast Boot restart instead of shutting down. I checked the settings and confirmed that Fast Boot is turned off.
What happens is after I select Shut Down I get the T-Mobile good buy animation and then I briefly see the previous shut down menu and then I get the T-Mobile Android rocket animation and then I'm back in the OS. No black screen, no white screen with the HTC logo and it all happens very quickly.
I tried a Restart and that does a normal full shut down and restart where I get the good buy animation and the screen goes black for a second then I get the white screen with the HTC logo then the rocket animation then the OS. All very normal looking.
Holding down the power button for about 10 seconds to force a power off does shut down the phone but it turns back on 3 seconds later with a normal looking start up.
This is a brand new phone that had the factory shipped ROM and no apps even installed. It was able to be powered off before I installed the OTA.
I tried this with the case on and off to make sure it wasn't the case putting pressure on the buttons.
This isn't a huge deal as I don't normally leave my phone off but I can't take this on an airplane as some carriers still make you turn off all electronic devices during take off and landing.
Update: I was going to take eminembdg advice and go to a Tmo store and try to get the phone replaced after work today. But after showing the nifty shutdown reboot bug to a few friends the phone now actually shuts down correctly and stays off. I guess it's like when you take your car to the mechanic because its making this funny noise and then it stops making the noise just as you pull up in front of the shop.
My data speed got slower too.

My wifi started saying error every time I tried to turn it on. After speaking with htc they told me that I needed to do a master reset because It is impossible to downgrade to an earlier version or even the stock one without resetting. So stupid me believes and resets, NOPE still on the newest update with a cleanly wiped phone.

My wifi was working fine before but yesterday I tried getting on wifi and the position seems to be stuck. It seems like it was to connect but it wont connect, i leave my phone to try and connect for many hours and it doesnt. I go to mysettings to try and turn the wifi position to off and i cant. Ive tried restarting and taking the battery out and nothing helps. I got my wifi to turn off, and after a few hours without trying to get on wifi i tried connecting and its back to what it has been doing, like in a stuck position. I got it to go off by turning the phone off completly for a few hours. Any help is well appreciated. Thank you in advance. I tried attaching a picture to better explain this, but for some reason I cant even attach a file.

I've been having weird WiFi issues recently too. I'm stock. I disabled the ATT Smart WiFi but that doesn't seem to fix things. Tried one of the WiFi applications to reconnect when it detects the failure but that works only about 99% of the time.

My wifi doesnt even connect now, it shows that its trying to connect but it wont. The wifi icon doesnt go to full green, it stays on a transparent green, like it wants to connect but wont.
If it was me I'd flash the stock from and get it back to the way it used to be. But if you're on stock now and haven't done any flashing its going to take a lot of learning on your part. You are going to have to learn to use odin and where to get the stock rom. Not sure if you're up for that.

If you both are on stock call ATT. They will be more then happy to help you. With your level of knowledge that is your best course of action. They will most likely tell you to factory reset your phone. You will loose all your apps and settings. Tell them you want to back that up first. They should be able to help you from there.

Guess this is what i will have to do, i just dont no if something is wrong with my phone. Thank you for your help
Hey guys,
I've been using this phone (skyrocket ROGERS version) and have had this problem ever since I "upgraded" to ICS; and I've had so many problems with this phone! I've just learned to accept that my WiFi will never work consistently enough for me to use it so I just always use my data plan (luckily I've got a lot of data).
THINGS I HAVE TRIED
Cm 10 stable
Cm 10 nightly
Cm 9 stable
Miui
Flashing stock ICS
Flashing stock Jb
Things I haven't tried
Flashing stock gingerbread (because this was the only time my WiFi worked consistently, but why go back to gingerbread)
If anybody has ANY insight on this it would be very helpful
I guess I should also mention that I've flashed everyone of these ROMs that I listed at least 3-5 times just to ensure it wasn't just a bad flash.
