Anyone else have 3g problems?

My 3g always goes away and I have to cycle it in the pull down bar. It's not a huge problem but its annoying because it will always log me out of googl3 talk. Does anyone else have that problem. I've had it with every Rom I've tried. My phone also does random reset for no reason. Again I've had this problem with every Rom I have tried. Are these just known issues with the current radio are is there a fix for these? Any help would be great thanks.

It's a problem with the original and the leaked radio. I have it happen fairly frequently along with my signal dropping for unknown reasons. The radio firmware in the TB leaves a lot to be desired.

My 3G drops out and comes back but no random reboots. I am overclocked to 1.2 GHz running Bamf 1.6.2 remix with Ad's latest kernel and the latest leaked radios. I think it's mostly due to issues here in my area though (I had no LTE problems at work on Friday afternoon when it came back up.)

I have 3g drops as well. It happens randomly.

My 3G has been wacky the last few days. Constant drops (when they didn't happen before), and it has just been awfully slow. Hoping they are performing some maintenece for a nice 4G upgrade in my area

Thanks for your replies. It's nice to know I'm not alone. I did do that ##778 thing o heard about on here and cycles rev a. To enabled and now my 3g seems pretty consistent. I don't know what that changes though.

[Q] Who has NEVER had a reboot?

Folks -
Obviously the Tbolt reboot issue is real. However, I have never had one. Ever. Not One. I've run a variety of ROMs and Radios, though I've mostly used a BAMF variant with an adrynalyne kernel. Currently on BAMF 1.7, 4.4.7 kernel, not overclocked, with the 605.7 radios (both CDMA and LTE). I am in an almost total 4G area...I live in central NJ, and commute to Princeton, NJ, spending only about 20 minutes in a 3G area in between. I also go out to SF quite a bit, which is obviously blanketed in 4G.
So my question: What's driving the reboots? Is this a matter of the Tbolt not playing well with some 3G hardware in the towers (or vice versa)?
If you've never had a reboot, please post and let us know how your tbolt is configured, and where you tend to use it.

I'm stock since mine broke and I get no more 3G anywhere. However running stock before root never had a reboot, running rooted with BAMF Froyo never had a reboot. Running GB I did have reboots few and far between. Most of them because the kernel was overclocked. As long as I installed a kernel and ran it 245 min to 1024 max it never had an issue. Once I tried to overclock then it would happen. The phone is fine for me no overclocked so no reboots!

My only reboots were due to a kernel issue, not the actual phone. So no, I have not had one.

Are you in a 4G area? Do you overclock?

Never had any problems with rebooting running das bamf 2.0-5 @1. 4ghz i forget the radio...
THUNDERBOLT

I'm running das bamf 2.0 and applied all the patches and the sense 3.0 camera. Never a reboot, only issue is in the camera. When I use action setting I get a force close. That's it.
DasBAMF 2.0 Thunderbolt

I've had 3 Thunderbolts.
The first was great until the screen turned Green, No random reboots as well. The second was great until it started rebooting 2 times an hour (rooted, Das BAMF), and when i returned it to Stock it would reboot about 3 times a day. My third (a crappy 'like new' replacement), reboots at least once an hour.... Completely stock.
My 4th arrives today! I hope this one works, but i'm honestly not holding my breath.

Good Luck! Do you live in a 4G area?

had my thunderbolt since day 1 of launch and haven't gotten any reboots or problems at all, i consider myself one of the lucky ones lol

I am in 3g only area and stock phone...so far. I have reboots and have done the data wipe htc recommended. Hoping this is software problem.

Mine has had one reboot. It was when I upgraded to the new radio. I'm in a mostly 3g area. I get fringe 4G but keep it turned off most of the time. I also use WiFi as much as possible.

Thanks, keep us informed. 4G is the big battery kill, I find using wifi whenever possible has transformed my battery life.

I got my replacement phone last friday. it came with the launch day firmware. I updated to MR1 on Saturday, since then I have been having 1-2 reboots every day. Going to call them and see about getting another phone, maybe a Droid Charge or LG revolution.

I've had my phone for a couple months now. Rooted the night I received and been on Bamf remix since day one and continued updating the Roms as they were released but stayed away from GB. I'be had zero.reboot. I'm located in Utah with a 3g only area without ever being in 4g.

I wanted to note that some people may not be noticing reboots depending on what time of day they happen. I've had at least 1 happen over night that I know of. The only reason I know now is that I just started using a SIM password and woke up to the phone asking me to enter the PIN.
I'm running Das Bamf 1.63 w/ leanKernel 2.5.1 in a 3g area.

Mine had it's first reboot today after being up for 90 hours so I really can't say that it is the same thing. I am running in 4g, 3g and wifi at different parts of the day. I run the 3rd radio combo on the radio thread

CM7 MR2.5 bat issues

Hello to all you great people! I am not new to this site but I havent posted much or at all. This site is increadible and has taught me a ton about what a droid can do once you know how to use it. Thanks everyone! Anyway I have a question that I would of posted in the CM7 dev thread but I dont have permission since I havent posted much. Is anyone having bat drain issues with the newest build (RC1.1 MR2) using the GB radio 2.5? I have lost over 10% bat life in 25 mins while in airplane mode, no data including wifi and the screen was only on for maybe 2 or 3 mins. It may be a problem on my end but I just wanted to see if anyone else is having an issue with this. Oh and thanks to all you devs for doing all the hard work and dealing with angry wifes or girlfriends! We all appreciate it!

On mr2 it did feel like my battery was draining faster than normal.. with the stock kernel at least. Glad I'm not the only one try switching kernels
Sent from my Incredible using XDA Premium App

I actually had this problem too with the stock kernel, and once I overclocked with the Dream kernel it actually stopped draining my battery, strange.

I did try using Imoseyon's CM7 leankernel but had the same effect. Ill try the dream kernel and report back. Thank guys!!

I'm on my first day with this build of CM7, with MR2.5 and noticed my battery has drained way faster than it did with gingeritis.

Did you try wiping battery stats?
Sent from my ThunderBolt using XDA Premium App

Is there an official name for this kernel, or someplace to get it? I tried a quick Google search for "htc thunderbolt dream kernel", and it didn't bring up anything definite.
I noticed the battery drain too. CM7 7.1.0 RC1 with the MR2.5 radio. It seems to be "cell standby" that's using the highest percentage of the battery. I have it set to CDMA / EvDo auto.

What programs do you have running? Are you overclocked? I an running mr2.5 cm7.1 rc1.1 and still have 22% on 18 hours unplugged. 3 hour screen on, lots of texting, xda browsing, market updates, and an hour of plans vs zombies. On stock kernel, no overclocking. Using interactive governor.

I do have things set to run in the background, but they don't even register a high enough percentage in the battery usage to show there. I was not having battery issues with the 7.0.1 RC 6 on MR1 (the last build).

I've tried two of the utkanos kernels (not the OC one), and the dream kernel. On both of the utkanos kernels, I had no data. I tried rebooting several times, switching data on and off, and changing the network mode. No luck. The dream kernel took several minutes, but data finally came on. I haven't used it long enough to comment on any battery life differences between stock CM7 and this.

Running BAMF getting 1 1/2 on battery easy on 2.5
I am currently running the 2.5 on my BAMF sense 3 2.3.2 dream kernal. My battery is lasting very nicely currently. See the post below I have had better times the best was 1 day and 19 hours.

Ok so here's the news on my end. With the dream kernel things seem much better! However I was watching my ma usage and it went from 48ma to 240ma something after turning on wifi. Then after turning wifi off it never dropped. I rebooted and things went back to a cool 48ma. I'm guessing my original problem was with the stock kernel. But now that I'm on the new one the phone wont power down the wifi or something and made me burn thru my bat till I rebooted. Any ideas gents? Reboot did fix but that usually kills a good 4 to 10% of my bat everytime. I have next to nothing running in the background too.
Sent from my ThunderBolt using XDA App

Guess I should add that now after reboot I'm around 100 ma usage and steady with wifi on. Maybe a reboot once a day might do the trick till CM is finalized. Was thinking bout trying the mr2 radio stead of 2.5. Anyone know if there's a difference or advantage to either?

virtuous inquisition Wireless problem

I am using Inquisition and noticed my wifi stopped working recently, and then my bluetooth. I can try to turn them on but nothing happens, they stay on "turning on" Any ideas?

I'm using virtuous also and don't think its
Virtuous Inquisition causing the problem because I'm running Virtuous 4.0.2 and ALL is working as it should be! Wi-Fi, hotspot , everything fine here. Checked Bluetooth, its working too? Wish I could be of more help but wanted to let you know my virtuous is running as it should.

Could be a kernel issue. I tried flashing faux AOSP kernel which might have caused it, as my wifi doesn't work either. Will try reflashing previous kernel later as battery is to low now.

I was running Inquisition 4.0.1 too and I didn't had this problem with WiFi. The only problem that I had and I have is that when I am connected to a WiFi and I turn off the screen the connection is lost and I have to reconnect but I think that this is a general problem of the Sensation. Isn't it?

I've never had that problem with any ROM or kernel that I've tried.

Realy jimam?
I always have that problem with all of the ROMS that I have flashed to my Sensation 4G. In the past I had searched for this issue and I had read that this is a general problem of the Sensation. It doesn't keep the WiFi connection when you put it on sleep by turning off the screen. Maybe I must look this issue again.

I'll chip in my 2¢ and say that I do have the same issue, running Virtuous Inquisition 4.0.2. That said, I keep VI as so far it's the best Sense-less ROM I've used, and I simply keep wifi off; I cannot say for certain if the wifi issue is a Virtuous thing or not, but I have *not* noticed it when playing with other ROMs.

Hi! I'm using VI 4.0.1 for 3 months now with Socali's underclocked kernel. Didn't have any problems with WiFi or with WiFi hotspot. As the guys said you should try reflashing the ROM or a different kernel.
It's worth trying to fix it, VI being a very nice, fast and reliable ROM.

As much as I've played with prepackaged ROMs, I haven't done much playing with kernels yet... I may try another one (if I'm feeling bold), or just continue to live with WiFi off unless I need it.
It's definitely not just a "reflash the ROM" thing, as I've done that a number of times on two different Sensations...

BAMF ICS Thunderbolt ROM Data Drops

Good evening. Has anyone experienced any success with the data drops with the new radio combo. I have tried the combo for several days. As long as I have 4G data is fine. As soon as the connection switches to 3G and back to 4G, I have to reset data connection by turning on/off airplane mode. If anyone had this issue and no longer experiencing it, please advise what steps were taken to resolve. I have also performed a Wipe Cache/Wipe Dalvik.
Thanks again in advance!

This may not be helpfull because I have no idea what combos you are referring to but I can tell you I have had zero problems with 4g data drops and also no problems returning from 3g back to 4g since I loaded bamf ICS. I came from stock GB and never touched any radios.
Just tried to post a SS of my stuff but apparently its considered spam because I'm a noob? Lol

Thanks again.

I am using the newest radios on this ROm, and I do get the data drops, but I don't think they are related to switching from 3G/4G, I think they just drop. And I had the same problem w/ the other radios as well. Not sure what it means, just trying to get to 10 posts so I can ask some F'n questions in the devolpment section

Well sorry no help here. Mine are the exact same. Wierd

Another noob here, but I tried the BAMF ICS as my first rom flash (I rooted to get rid of the bloatrware) and had lots of trouble dropping data with those same radios. My phone was also very laggy when running this. I just about had to count to 2 after I pressed on anything to wait for it to respond.
My second ROM flash was to Liquid's 2.6 beta ICS version. It doesn't have sense, but is much smoother and responsive. I'm also down to only dropping data once or twice a day from the multiple drops with the BAMF leak.
My biggest problem with the Liquid build is I don't know how to make the apps show up in a list instead of icon view.

Using the BAMF leak and the latest radio combo, I was having data drops at least 4 times a day. Just this morning I switched over to the Open Mobile radio combo and it's been solid the whole day.

I just flashed to liquid's ICS 2.7 last night and had data drops on .19. I moved to the leaked radio combo and it seems solid, but others have reported the opposite.

Here is the radio I am using with no data drops.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1864157

With Liquid's latest AOSP release, I'm getting less data dropping than with the leak, in fact I've had none since I flashed it this morning
Edit: I'm using the .19 radios

Honestly, I think I've dropped data maybe once with the BAMF release, yet to drop at all on the new LiquidSmooth release, however my Wi-Fi now causes my phone to freeze when it's turned on.

Flashed Liquid IcS last night. Great work.....! While in the house no data drops. 4g rock solid. But outside different story. Drove through the city of Atlanta about 40 miles had 5 data drops.

try the leaked radio combo, .19 dropped like crazy for me but the leak has been solid. Unrelated, but my battery life on liquid's build is amazing.

Mine has been solid on the .19 radio. Much better than it was on my GB rom.
