[Q] Different Roms, Different Radios, Same Problem - HTC Inspire 4G

Background:
I'm on AT&T, Unlimited Data.
I've had my Inspire 4G for about 4 months and for the most part I have been running Leedroid. Recently, I've been having trouble with not being able to make calls, but able to receive calls and use data. When I try to make a call it drops immediately. As soon as I press Call, it flashes to "Call Ended".
I thought that a clean wipe and flash would solve the problem and I've also made sure that I'm running the correct radio (Suggested radio) and matching RIL.
Neither of these ideas fixed my problem, so I flashed CM 7.1.0-RC1 and again checked the radio firmware and RIL. No dice. I've tried to search around the forums to make sure I wasn't overlooking something obvious, but I haven't found anything.
Also, I do have a good signal when I'm attempting to make a call. It seems to only happen in one part of town and I'm wondering if it's something to do with this part of the network. Sometimes if I cycle the radio on and off using airplane mode it will work long enough to make one call. Sometimes if I go into the Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > Network Operators > and press Select Automatically, It re-registers on the network and all is fine for about 30 minutes.
Side note: My data speeds have dropped from 4000kbps to about 700kbps.
Current info:
Android 2.3.4
Baseband 15.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2
Kernel 2.6.35.13-cyanogenmod-g87a2eba
If anyone has run into this problem or has a suggestion I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Data can be different at different times at&t is notorious for that. its odd that it only happens in one part if town, that leads me to think that it has to do with towers and signal.
If it was happening all the time, I would think different, but it only happening in one part of town, and it only recently happening, thats signs of tower/ signal issues I would think.

I feel the same way. I'm going to run an experiment today. Using Open Signal Maps, I'm going to note the tower that I'm connected to when I start having problems. Then, I will drive a distance away until I have connected to another tower and see if that resolves the problem. Otherwise, I'm still stumped.

I was having the same problem, more so with data then calls. I too am running leedroid however I tried his recommended radio and noticed a huuuuuge different in dl speeds. I tried waiting a day but couldn't do it. I flashed the stock radio and ril and everything is back to normal from what I can tell. Try that and see if that helps

Yeah, I've tried that. Didn't work. Thanks though.

Just for grins, you could try a different radio. 26.09.04.11 was never released on the Inspire nor the AT&T network. Keep in mind that Lee is overseas in the UK using another network provider, so I would take his recommended radio with a grain of salt. If I were you, I would try 26.06.06.30 or 26.10.04.03. If you're using a Sense ROM, then use RIL 2.2.0160HM with it. If you're using CM7.1.0-RC1 or a newer nightly, then stick with the default RIL (2.2.0018G) because it's tuned for AOSP ROMs and is known to work very well with all stock Inspire radios.
Regarding your poor data speeds, be sure to reconfigure your custom ROM to use the stock APN settings. No custom ROM on this forum (except for those heavily based on the stock ROM) comes with the true proper stock APN settings that are needed for full speeds in some markets. Link to the APN settings is here.

Roaming on CM7??

Flashed CM7 the other day (thanks again for the help Carmon!) and love it. Only issue I am having so far is...I've been unable to roam. I live in a fringe area, and normally roam on Verizon towers at home. I attempted *228 several times (while on US Cellular), and the recorded message (voice) states that the update was successful, but the message on my screen says "activation unsuccessful". I am able to make and receive calls and send messages, etc...but the phone will not roam. I have networks set to automatic, and national data roaming enabled. Any ideas?? Anyone??
The screen always says unsuccessful, it's a known glitch. Try setting roam options to home only or whatever, sometimes they get mixed up in the process of building and fixing other stuff.

Appreciate your response! I've tried every setting. Home only gives me US Cellular signal. When set to "Affiliated Networks", the setting will not remain there, it resets itself to Home only. When set to "Automatic", it catches US Cellular signal, but does not roam when there is no US Cell signal.
Surprised nobody else has this problem...
It may be a issue in which we need to go all the way back to stock and do the ADW fix.
Yeah possibly... scarmon do you have that to post? Ive never had to do it and I never copied it down...

I know how to do it but not sure on the names for everything until I'm in there. Let me see if I can find the thread with the.video on it. If not the OP can IM me. He has my Gtalk and I can walk him through it if needed.

Seems that fix is for phones that are always roaming. Is it known to work for the problem I'm having also (no roaming)??
Just got done flashing back to stock and completing the ADW fix. Flashed back to CM7...still no roaming. Tried every setting and every combination of settings with NO luck.

That's really odd... are you sure you're in a roaming area? The phone wont roam if you have uscc signal.
Sent from my MIUI SCH-i500
I am in a roaming area...as I mentioned above, I live in a fringe area, and my phone (usually) constantly switches between US Cell and Verizon. Now, it does not switch...it just goes from US Cell to NO service.
On another note, since I re-flashed, I am not receiving sms. And when I send sms, they are blank???
When you went back to stock did you flash the EH09 Build or did you flash EE19.
Edit. Didn't mean to double post
I did a full flash back to stock Froyo since I had the files already...
Everything is working except sms...

[Q] Phone crashing when switching between networks.

At least that's what I think is the cause. It almost always happens when I'm outside so I haven't been able to catch one while running logcat. I've tried both the 10.14.9035.01 and 10.15.9035.02 radios with RILs matched and unmatched, stock ROM and CM7 both after running SuperWipe script, stock kernel and faux's AOSP kernel, and changed to a new SIM card, all with the same result. Any ideas or should I just try to return it and get a new one (I really want to avoid this as I travel a lot and can't wait for a new phone)?
It all began around the weekend of Dec 2 around the time I started using 3G. Before that I was only on the 2G network.
Setting GSM only or WCDMA only seems to remedy the problem but of course WCDMA coverage isn't available everywhere so that sucks. Am I the only one with this problem?
No, I guess not. I had a problem somewhat like it. My device turned itself off a few times a day. Had sent it to HTC for a firmware update, tried a new SIM and heard many horrorstories on the device shutting off without the user wanting it.
Since I disabled automatic network detection the problem hasn't occurred again. At least for now.
Where do I disable automatic network detection?
I am not quite sure but I think it's on wireless settings > Mobile network Settings > Network operators > and then from Search networks try selecting a network manually Sorry I don't really know but I know where this option is

sky ice network issues anyone else?

ok I tried download new UL2 modem I follwed dirrections first off NO ltw (maybe not in my area) but 4g icon only 2nd my download speed like .15mb
then I reflashed the UL4 modem one comes with now I get decent speeds but seems cut off a lot.. this isn't huge issue as I use wifi at home but when im out and about (which havn't tested yet) im not sure.
now I did follow UL2 let modem direction wondering if changed setting RAT setting shouldn't have... if u reflash modem to rat settings go back? when flashing modems back forth I read you delete Dcache and cache which I did but am I missing something? something else do after or something... thanks
when downloading with just network it cuts out stops in middle of download ... i dunno what deal is anyone else got info on this? if I reflash a modem back do i need fix permsions?
well i flashed orginal modem working alright guess thought icerom have better donwload speeds but wow its slick and clean looking I really like it :O) yaaaa
I had no issues with the ucld2 radio while I briefly tried it. I'm going to be honest a say u don't seem experienced enough to be messing with the RAT settings of the radio, and should leave the default settings alone. On first boot after install dial *#2263# and set to auto, then menu > end, and reboot.
Make sure your apn is set correctly, especially if you are with rogers. Using the ltemobile.apn with the skyrocket even in an area without late results in data drop outs, as the phone searches for late signal. Same goes for AT&T. Make sure you are using 3g apn values, which will work fine for 4g.
I'm having the same problem. I tried Sky ICS 4.2a, then 4.2a-8, then 4.2d, and now 4.2a-9.
I've been using UCLD2 on these and had no problems, until today when I installed 4.2a-9 and all of a sudden I can't stay on LTE more than a couple minutes. It drops down to HSPA and drops the data entirely. I've NEVER had this problem, and I've tried every radio there is. I flashed back to UCLC4 and I'm still having the problem.
I'm searching the forums for a fix right now. I might just wipe again and start over with the base/modem.
EDIT: I've tried changing the RAT on both new radios by pulling the SIM, setting LTE/ALL, then Automatic. No change.

[Q] Not registered on the network problems

I've read a lot on the internet but have not found a good answer for me. In certain locations, almost daily, I get either a "not registered on the network" message or a "sim not allowed ##3" message on my Infuse. If I switch the phone to airplane mode and then back off of airplane mode it always reconnects to the AT&T network. The problem started after I changed my ROM from Infused 1.5.3 to Zeus 6. I've flashed to Mind of Mac 1.4 but that didn't fix the problem. I've tried a new SIM card, different APN settings and several other changes, but it didn't help. If I have a good 4g connection it never has the problem. It never re-registers on the network until I do the airplane mode on and off thing or reboot the phone. My iemi number shows up weird on the phone too. What is the best way to fix this problem? Thanks.
No one has a clue?
No one has a clue how to fix the problem? It happens when I lose 3g or 4g connection.
What modem do you have?

Modem
I currently have UCLB3. I have tried a few different ones but it does the same thing with each one I've tried.
Sounds like you know what you are doing , unfortunately it sounds like a hardware issue. If going to settings > mobile networks > network operators and choosing AT&T does not fix it the only thing to suggest is return for repair or exchange. As you know, you will have to return it to stock so after you do that you may want to test it one more time. Sorry, not the answer you wanted but the best answer I have, Regards.

From recent experience - I would avoid using the fixes listed above as they will change your IMEI.
I say this as I was having a similar issue -- I had been running on the ParanoidAndroid ICS rom for a few days and my I997 started to do the same thing. Network connection was fine most of the time but it would occasionally drop out to no network. Except swapping between airplane mode didnt always fix it. If i rebooted the phone and it would pop up with "Unknown" Baseband Version, and no IMEI/IME SV until it connected again... whenever it decided to do so.
I flashed a few different modems to no avail.
Used GTG's stock restore... and it still showed no baseband or IMEI.
Searched through everything i could find and I found the 2 above posts. Being the cautious person that I am, I was skeptical to run the "fix" since I know playing with the efs folder can do.. fun things.. I backed it up with EFS Pro.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546
So after that - I did the fix from those two posts. It worked. I got a signal. HUZZAH. But I could only make a few calls before it would drop out, and I couldn't send or receive text messages at all they would just stall and error out.
So I took a look at the IMEI again and noticed that it was NOT *my* IMEI, it was presumably the imei of the person who Truckerglenn got the backup from so long ago.
Figured at this point my phone is going to have to go back to Samsung to fix since it's still dropping out, the IMEI is wrong and I can't send texts
Can't break it anymore than it's already broken right?
Go back into root browser, delete the EFS folder entirely. *poof* gone. Reboot. Use EFS Pro to restore the backup I had created (GOOD THING!) phone reboots. Instantly picks up the signal again, I get 15 text messages, 2 voicemails AND my IMEI shows what it should be now.
*HOPEFULLY* it holds onto its connection now. If not, back to stock and back to samsung it goes - now with the correct IMEI. heh
Sorry for the long story
Thanks! May have found a partial fix.
Thanks for the tips and information. I think I may have found a partial fix. It seems that picking the "WCMDA only" in the "Network Mode" options seems to solve the problem for me. If it is set on "GSM/WCCMA (auto mode)" option, it seems to cause the "SIM not allowed ##3" or the "not registered on the network" problem when I am in an area where the 4G or 3G signal is weak. I will do some more testing. It appears that if I don't have 3G or 4G available in any given location my phone won't connect to the cell towers at all even though other users can connect without any problems. Does this give anyone any other ideas? Do I possibly just need new APN settings?
Have you tried flashing a new radio? Does a complete wipe and restore to UCLB3 make any difference?
Has any of these roms/firmwares that you flashed been done so through Aroma installer? I know Aroma gives you the option to change modems, and if your download was buggered that could have caused it.
I'm just tossing ideas around here... I'm up early and looking to help.
The work around works
Yes, I have flashed the radio but that didn't help. I have discovered the "fix" is to set my phone on "WCDMA only". It seems that the phone will only work if 4G or 3G is available. I am not longer getting the original error messages. So that's a good thing. If I ever go to where 3G and/or 4G is not available I will have to try something else. Thanks for all the replies.

[Q] Intermittent Internet on HSPA/LTE - Connection Drop

Hi, I have a very particular issue with my Oneplus One which it seems to me software related and I hope someone can help me here. I've tried to find an answer here in the XDA and in the Oneplus One forum but no one seems to have the same issua as mine. I've also tried to flash different modems, and doesn't fix it. Tried to play with the *#*#4636#*#* menu and didn't have luck as well.
Before I start I'm on Three network in UK. My phone is rooted but no Xposed installed. CM11S latest version installed.
Things I tried to solve the issue:
I've already tried to flash different modems or play with the *#*#4636#*#* menu but I have no luck. Tried factory reset, complete wipe on recovery and restore of the CM11S. Nothing helped.
What it happens is that sometimes, using HSPA or LTE I'm not able to use the internet. It doesn't seem to be a signal issue because I have full bars and I can even see the arrows up and down in the status bar inside the signal meter. I'm not able to use browser, listen to Spotify or anything internet related. Calls are ok. It usually an issue when I'm on HSPA+ but sometimes in LTE as well.
A reboot usually does the trick and makes it work, but sometimes not and it takes a while to come back and connect. That's really annoying.
Just another piece of info, it usually happens when I disconnect from Wifi and connect to the phone network or when I don't have signal (I'm in the tube for example) and come to an area where I have signal.
I hope someone here might be able to help. The only thing I haven't tried yet is to change to other carrier. But that would be last option as I appreciate the All-you-can-eat data allowance from Three.
Thank you in advance.

Have you checked if you had the right APN ?
Yes, Apr settings are right. Just to be clear. I can connect to HSPA and LTE. What happens is that the connection drops and just fix if I reboot.

Same problem here. Have you found a solution? Or is it a hardware problem?
Hey sorry for bumping an old post but I'm having the same problem. In the UK on non-EE T-mobile. I get enough signal and H seems to connect, but I can't access the Internet. The upload arrow shows but the download arrow rarely appears.
I've tried flashing different roms, modems, recoveries to flash them, all to no avail
I have the same problem, but I don't have to restart, putting the phone in airplane mode and releasing after 2 seconds does the trick. still very annoying. no one has any idea of how to solve it?
My ROM is CM11 44S
