Recently I managed to root my mytouch 3g 1.2 after a long time, which really shouldn't have taken me that long. -_-;; But anyways my phone works like it did before I flashed it which would be the cupcake firmeware 1.6. However there is one slight problem. I don't have Edge/3g coverage for my phone now. I'm not sure how this came about, but it would be helpful if someone could point me in the right direction in getting this back.
I've tried selecting a network for my phone, which would be t mobile, and after I do that the Edge/3g symbol comes up for a while and then goes away. Any ideas on how to solve this?
Edit: I left my phone on and went to sleep for 5 hours or so. I awoke to find that the 3g/edge symbol stays on my phone now. Perhaps I just needed to give it a few hours to boot up or something?

After i did the update to 1.42 for rc33 my internet while browseing cuts out after every two web pages. Its really odd it will load a page on 3g then go to edge then no network that back to 3g. it also will do it in the market as well load two screens then say no data connection aval. Now i know theres not a tower down be cause i work for tmobile, and i have my SE tm506 which gets perfect 3g where i live. is anyone else having this problem
I think I'm experiencing the same thing you are.
I've had a similar problem ever since RC33 1.41. It doesn't seem to be triggered by browsing though. I've noticed that 3G seems alot less consistent than it was on the old radio. I haven't tried flashing back to the old radio.
I ride the train and I used to only have 1 or 2 dead spots and now it seems like my dead spots have increased. Also, I used to always have 3G in my house now it seems I fall to edge and then back again in a few minutes when i try to use data and the phone has been asleep.
For me, I never truly noticed until about a week or two after flashing. I had the Fade to Blue theme on the phone, and I couldn't get any data what so ever. This happened right when I got on a train, and i tried to fix it for an hour and a half. I reflashed the theme, which was still update.zip on my SD card, I did 2G networks only and rebooted the phone several times. When I got home I reflashed JF RC33 1.41 just to take the theme out of the equation and it jumped right back on to 3G. However, ever since I've been paying more attention to it, and it just seems very inconsistent. I used to be able to use the Last.fm app for streaming music and only have 1 or 2 dropoffs throughout a 40 min train ride. Now it's unusable.
The timing for this all this kind of matches up to that 3G outage that happened a few weeks ago, so I'm not sure if it's the radio update, RC33 or a phone hardware problem.
On a side note, when i first got the phone, all the way up to the radio update, i had a problem where I had a 3G icon, but I woudn't have a data connection for certain spots. I'd have the 3G up arrow, but no down arrow. This problem is gone, but I can't remember for sure if this old problem took place in the same locations as the new problem.
I've also rarely experienced another issue since the update, which is where the 3G up and down arrows flash back and forth very very quickly, like a strobe effect and data does not work. This has only happened to me maybe twice so far though, and it lasted for only a minute or two.
I'm just tossing all of my experience in to see if this is all normal or if something isn't quite right with my phone.
So I have been for the past week, at my house, having about the worst 4G reception ever. It shows 4G in the status bar, until I actually try and connect to any internet service, and then it disappears. Well this started on my second Thunderbolt, so I assumed something was up with the phone, specially since I unrooted the phone, and the issue was still there. So I went and exchanged my phone today. I noticed that the issue remained. Brand new phone, at my place of work today was pulling 20+ down from speedtest and then I go home, and even outside my house, it is loosing 4G everytime you try to do anything on the internet.
I noticed only one difference. My PRL changed from 15008 to 15011.
So figuring my new phone is probably fine from a HW standpoint, I went ahead and rooted this phone, and I noticed something weird. Everytime I boot the phone, it switched between two PRLs. It either has a PRL of 1, and then reboot and it then will have a PRL of 15011. Rinse and repeat.
I also noticed that in the same location that it used to be signal strength was around -82Db, and is now closer to -95Db.
So I am going to call Verizon tomorrow, and see if they know if a tower is down, etc, or see if they can check into it, as my phone is only usable at home on 3G, which is the same reason I paid my ETF on sprint and left for verizon, because I could get LTE in my house.
I even tried Das BAMF 1.5 and then flashed the radio update, and there was zero change in anyway.
I am going to assume there is a screwy tower nearby that is causing my problem, but if anyone has any suggestions let me know!
my phone acts the same way around my apartment...
i think they must be messing with the towers still. specially cause we haven't officially got 4g here yet.
have the same problem up in Northwest Columbus - 4G has been going in and out for the last two days for me - figured it was just the tower, 3G is absolutely fine.
This has been happening a lot lately. Sometimes I'll look down at my phone and the signal bars will completely drop for a second, and then go back to normal. I am in an area with full-coverage. This happens anywhere I go in Connecticut.
I am rooted, running Das Bamf Remix, the Adrenalyne Kernel 4.4.3, and Jcase's radio combination #2.
Any other settings I should check to diagnose the problem?
This is becoming an issue because people are telling me my phone "goes straight to voicemail" at times. Any help appreciated.
I see this happen when the phone switches between 1x, 3G, and 4G, but haven't noticed it any other times.
Did it happen when you were stock?

No, it was never a problem back then
I seem to be having the problem as well now, again. Its pretty annoying.
Could it have anything to do with underclocking and/or using SetCPU profiles?
EDIT: I haven't noticed it happening since I disabled profiles in SetCPU..
First and final bump. Contrary to my last post, it's still happening.
Anyone else see this phenomenon?
Yes I do all the time. I also notice that sometimes data will stop and then 4g restarts and I'm back to normal. Doesn't matter which kernel.

I have been experiencing problems with this too. My data connection has been on and off today. I'm totally stock right now btw since I just got a replacement.
This happens to me quite a bit. I rooted yesterday but am still stock and it happened before and after root.
I see this happening most when my phone's been sleeping for awhile and I turn on the screen. It'll have 0 service bars the first second the screen is on but then goes right back to where it's supposed to be a second after. Hasn't affected my syncs or push mail.
I came in here just to look if someone had a similar problem
I have been noticing this too, happens when I get home on the outskirt of 4g, but solid 3g. I only show the bars but says I have no signal. usually a reboot fixes it but it is annoying
running bamf stripped 1.7, never had my phone stock long enough to know if it happened then
I don't live in 4g area (thanks raleigh) and I have had this issue since I got the phone launch day
Just wanted to add that the problem consistently happens when I wake the screen. I can see the bars QUICKLY go from full to 0 (on wake). Then after I unlock and wait a second the bars come back.
I've just noticed it today, I thought it had something to do with the new radio. I've had the TB since launch day but just noticed it now...
Hey guys,
Curious if anyone had seen anything like this. I flashed my mesmerize to CM7 a few months ago and ended up going back to stock using Odin. Everything seemed good but around then I got a really weird behavior. My phone seems to work without issue anywhere I go EXCEPT the Chicago area - specifically Naperville/Aurora, etc area. I will go to no signal, no data, nothing. "Searching for Service" the entire time I"m there. It will once in a while pop up the roaming triangle and show full bars for about 1-2 seconds and then back to nothing. Anywhere in Wisconsin works and when I was traveling it was fine in Michigan and Indiana and Minneapolis. Not sure what the heck this could be. So I figured I'd see if you guys have any ideas!
Thanks!
Steve
ya, i use MIUI and experience the exact same thing, phone works perfectly anywhere but when i went to chicago a few weeks ago i couldn't even get a single bar of signal, kind of ironic that my US Cellular phone wouldn't work in the middle of US Cellular Field
Hi guys-
I lurk here alot but don't post often- however today I am in dire straits.. hoping someone can help me.
I have an HTC Amaze (I know I know- I'm literally days away from a Galaxy Note3)
and although its old, its been a trooper for me- that is, until last night.
All of a sudden, the phone started going wacky when trying to connect to my home wifi network(s)
Every other device in the house connected fine, but the Amaze is having endless issues.
When I'm in the Wifi Networks display, it keeps jumping various networks up and down on the list, once in a while it might connect to one, but not for long. Again, these networks are working fine.
I've pulled the battery numerous times, but this issue persists.
Then today, I was out using 4G (which seems to work OK) and needed to tether my laptop. I turn on wifi tethering and my lap is now showing a "poor" to no signal from the phone. Its spotty getting it to connect to the HTC network.
This is def. different- it used to have full bars, especially with the phone close by, and it was literally right next to the laptop.
I fear that my wifi radio has died, or perhaps its software/driver related?
I'm posting here as an act of deperation, hoping perhaps there is a radio update I can download that someone knows about that may help me out..
Thanks for your time!:crying:
