OK this is my story ... I had bought a g2x April 20 i started to have data problems .. it'll dqisconnect then reconnect sometimes be disconnected for 3 to 4 mins at a time. I did every possible reset on the phone after every reset it'll work fine for about 5 mins then the disconnects starts all over again. This is everywhere I go does the same thing .. soo after calling T-mobile 100 times going thru technical support I was advise to change my phone and sim. Card as well... after changing my phone to the new one still have the same problems also I think its worse than before .. I've tried everything .. anyone has any ideas? ???
Well, were you on T-Mobile before, or is this a new contract with a new carrier?
I've always been on T-mobile ..
I have same problem bro hopefully its them upgrading/fixing network because THEY wont help you, they dont even know what u r talking about, all they will tell you is to turn phone off and on...useless..
G2X
Does it do this all the time, or in really bad reception spots?
Yea that's all T-mobile does your exactly right ..... and yea the phone does it all the time no matter where I'm at..
Ok, what phone is it you had previously, and how was that experience?
How old is your SIM?
Try to replace and see.
The phone I had before the g2x was the hd2 and as you all know it has a 6.5 windows o.s on it soo I had put mdeejay's rom evo revolution on it running on SD card was hearing those builds always had data issues soo I didn't really complain it was way better than having windows on it .. and I'm pretty sure for those couple of days I didn't have data issues with windows ..
Talk to customer loyalty, they have more power, insist on it,i don't talk to regular agents anymore, they can't do anything.one time in 30mn of talking, that guy only shows me how to reboot my phone, it's all bull****

I had the same problem and I don't know why or how it's now getting better. At first it would disconnect ALL the time and I would just put the phone on airplane mode our just disconnect and reconnect data, and it would temporarily fix the problem. After rooting, freezing bloatware and playing with the settings it rarely losses data connection. It was also really slow, I couldn't go above 2mbits, today it's between 4 and 6mbits! Consistently! (knock on wood)

Yea I've done the sim cards change.. like I said I tried everything as soon as gingerbread comes to the g2x I'll see if I have the same problem if yess I might try rooting this phone.. or just give up and get a different phone ..

its not the device error its your network reception, where do you live?
I don't think it's network. Mine does it too. Disconnects from 4g/wifi intermittently.
Yea I don't think its the network it does it everywhere I go .. I'm in Orlando Florida says I have really good coverage there .. I've also been to west palm .. ft Lauderdale .. Jacksonville ... everywhere same problem. .

I strongly believe our radio firmware is borked. I have goofy data problems to say the least. Best example I have is that I drop 2g data all the time and in weird spots, like you know, OUTSIDE! Only way I can recover is to switch to 4g. This doesn't make any sense to me. So I'm patiently waiting for LG to get off their ass and fix our phones so I can get a replacement that performs the way it was intended to.
So you had data issues with your last phone which you attribute to the software. Maybe you are in a bad area for T-Mo data, and have been all along.
Yea but it was on a SD rom from mdeejay and they all had data issues ... again this happens every where I go.
Hello everyone. Been on here a while haven't really posted much. Have a shift 4G used to have new update prior to being able to root that so I downverted fully rooted and ran Cryo 7 for a while. Switched to MikShifted-Gv2.1. I love it! It's great. A buddy of mine was looking at my phone the other day and noticed that my phone wasn't using 3G because it wasn't saying 3G when I was at work (state buildings don't let you use their wifi It just has the 1X in the status bar... Just out of curiosity is he right? Am I really just running 2G? Where the heck did my 3G go if it is true?? Am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
1x would be 2g, ev or 3g would be the 3g. Don't know why it would turn off, usually its data or no data. Check your setting to make sure its not disabled. Also check apps like tasker or juice defender if installed or anything similar, They can also control 2g/3g.

There probably isn't anything wrong. All phones switch in and out of signal types, 1x , 3G , etc. MikShifted G, and Supreme Sense are enabled to show you all the different types of signals so that's what your seeing. Most phones do not actually show you when you switch out of 3G. They want you to think your always on 3G at the very least.

What he said. Before I rooted I never saw anything lower than 3g. Since running custom ROMs I now know what I'm actually getting for a connection. Not sure why carriers decide not to give us an accurate portrayal. Oh well.

Thank you guys for the quick responses. So even though my phone ALWAYS says 1X unless I'm in either a 4G area with 4G turned on at home or on WiFi at home I won't exactly know if I'm in 3G or not? My wife has an Optimus S and she is in 3G at our house sitting right next to me. When we go out he phone is so much faster than mine looking online at things cause it says she's in 3G. I was looking through my phone at the Mik Tweeks and there is a place for me to change connection settings (EVDO etc.) Is this the place I need to see if there is a change? I just find it weird that no matter when I look it's always in 1X...

I checked and don't see anything about turning 3G on or off. And I don't have a task or juice defender or anything of that kind (learned my lesson) and nothing. I'm getting kinda frustrated. Would getting a new rom fix problem. I just want to make sure I'm getting my monies worth. We don't have 4G at my house yet but it's up the street by a Jack n' the box so I wanna at least be able to get my 3G when I want....

Yes, I've updated everything that I'm able to update on the phone (minus the software update. I think cause I'm rooted) And no dice. I've been fiddling around with it and was looking and it says 1XRTT... What does that mean?
So you don't 3G reception anywhere? Did you Update the Radios?

That's what I'm not sure about. I don't know if I get 3G or not. my status bar when not in either WiFi mode or 4G mode doesn't say 3G or EVDO or anything other than 1X. When I'm in 4G it says 4G when I'm in WiFi I see the WiFi symbol. When not in either of the two it says 1X... And yes, I've updated my radios. I check every 2 or so weeks to see if there is an update. Updated the radio yesterday.
If you've checked in several areas and never get 3G. What I would do is re-wipe, and re-flash. If it still doesn't work correctly try flashing a different Rom to see if it works correctly.
Okay so I tried to update the PRL and wiped my phone and tried to use the ROM again, still to no avail. I'm going to try newSense ROM hoping that it will help. I have a question though:
I cleared my cache and Dalvik cache. Is there something else I'm missing? I Thought I wiped my phone back to stock (assuming that meant getting rid of the ROM), but the ROM remained on my phone. Did I miss a step or was to supposed to happen?

Before you Flash a Rom, it's best IMO to do a FULL Wipe. There is a guide linked in my Sig. Read and follow the guide, and you should be all good. Also, if you did not do a FULL Wipe before Flashing MikShifted G that could be what's causing your issues. What do you mean by taking it back to stock BTW? Like Factory Stock? Or something else?

I'm curious as to if I can go back to the stock rom and remain rooted then try it all over again (as far as flashing ROM again.)
Then main thing I'm trying to fix is my 3G. I would love to have it again or at least know when I am. My wife's phone is far less superior than the Shift but when we are out and about her 3G works and kicks the pants off of my 1X any time of the day.
So... wiped EVERYTHING x3 as instructed, flashed new ROM (newSENSE) flashed just fine. Updated radio to the 1.8XXX, that worked just fine as well... STILL don't have a 3G signal, still says 1X.... Ahhh I'm getting frustrated!!! What do you guys think?

At this point I would RUU back to 2.2. Start the whole Rooting process over. RUU'ing should correct most any issue you may be having. It doesn't solve everything, but it will give you a better idea of what's going on. So RUU back to 2.2. Check the signal. Then Re-root, and check the signal. If all is still good flash a Rom, and check the signal.

Okay, I'm ready to give in and restore back to 2.2 I can't find a valid link. I had the zip file once, but no longer do. Can anyone help?
So I used the RUU and went back to stock, re rooted my phone (3 times in one night) and everytime I would root it, the 3G sign would remain, but as soon as I flashed ANY ROM on it it always went back to the 1X. Each time I rooted I used a different ROM so I give up. I'm just going to have to leave it as it is. I don't know what else to do
Thanks for all everyone's help trying to trouble shoot this. If anyone has had this problem and found a way to fix it, please let me know. Thanks XDA
Did you try a Stock Rooted Rom? Like the latest Rom, just Rooted. I believe Sparksco has one.
i have no clue what going on here.. but i dont have any data... but voice works fine.. ive done multiple reboots.. running opensensation..
anyone knows whats happening?
im running the 30.00 prepaid 5 gigs of data plan
You can change your data connection . Example my device always wants to go to edge, which is really slow so I lock on to wcma only which is 4 g. You can try the different connections by going to #*#*4636*#*# it will bring you to a menu you press phone information, then press your current connection and another menu will come up with available connections, pick the one you want and scroll down to refresh . I'm not sure this will do the trick but if you have any available connections you can hook up this way. It depends what's available in your area .I was going crazy with my device always going to edge so Iocked onto 4 g this way. It works for me. I do hope it helps. Are you rooted and running custom Rom? If you are and this method does not work perhaps try a different radio? Best of luck hope this helps some

im rooted running open sensation running the latest firmware so i shouldnt have to flash a radio its been working before.. for the past month i had my phone.. this is the first time its doing this..
ok im gonna update and wipe my dalvik.. see if that works
EDIT: nope.. still no data..
It's *#*#4636#*#* sorry I had that wrong in my first post
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
yeah that still didnt work.. and this is really troubling me.. i posted in the opensensation thread..
I had the same problem with roms based of CM9. The only solution is to back up everything (titanium backup helps with backing up apps), wipe and re-flash.
No need for wipe.
Just re-flash the current ROM. You will have to apply all your Mods again, but the rest of the data will remain fine.
(I had the same problem about two days ago)

Yeah i fixed it.. I had to backup and then restore my tmobile stock rom.. Then restore my cm9 backup.. Seemed to fix it but wow that was weird..
Its happend to me after i flashed somthing. All i did was put it in Airplane mode and rebooted. After reboot turn off airplane mode. Got everything back.
Gentlemen,
As the title suggests, I won't be taking long, I only have a quick question to make which I do hope it has a short and fast answer by you.
I'm no total ignorant when it comes to flashing, kernels , custom roms etc etc, I do know my way around.But I seem to have come to a dead end.
Just bought a Galaxy s3 , courtesy of verizon , second handed. The thing is, I plan on using it in Greece,
I've been reading a couple hundred posts about issues with GSM , data connections and whatever comes with it.I myself had a problem with being stuck at roaming after flashing cm 10.2 just tonight. I had to go back to stock 4.1.2 verizon to get signal back.
I hope you understand where im trying to land over here. Imagine this scenarion: Me, phone, Greece,non-stock based custom rom . Phone/text/data issues? What do you suggest? I come very confused...

For roaming on AOSP, see here if it happens again. You'll probably want to edit your APN settings for data if you already have the local sim for Greece. I don't know much more than that but you should be good there. Popping the sim in and selecting GSM should be enough for calls. Keep a TW rom on your phone in case you have issues cuz that will help you in a jam. If you aren't confident that your AOSP rom is 100% stable, which they usually aren't in some way, having a touchwiz rom like Cleanrom or Bonestock could be your alternative rom.
Almost got to the bottom of this, flashing a TW based rom is working perfectly as expected.
Thing is with AOSP based roms i only get verizon wireless as a carrier and a constant -120 dbm signal power.ALthough i can make calls, i cant text or get data.

Hi there!
I just figured out that in "WCDMA Preffered" mode, in call time signal strength reach 16-17 asu makeing screen go crazy, than I simply set "WCDMA Only" and signal strength has stabilized with 12-13 asu or less in call time. The issue dissapear..
You can set it up eighter entering "Test menu" (*#*#3424#*#*) or in "Settings - Mobile Data - Network Mode - (WCDMA Only)
NOTE: The setting persist after reset so you don't need to reapply it every time.
Later edit: My test was made in a high signal area from my carrier. Now I'm testing in a lower signal strenght area (neutral zone) and my asu is 6-7 and this is great.
Enjoy your HTC One S
Soo far the issue gone. Keep this up (vote and say thx)
Hi again, after 3 days testing my theory the issue seems to completely gone. I reactivate long press home button eveything is normal.
Ohh.. just a little thing forgot to mention that doing this you lost 2 lines of signal. No more helicopter but -2 lines cover and probably this ain't so helpfull those with allready low cover in some areas. BUT this seems to be the only way to get rid of this issue.
My final decision!
Edit: Please pin my topic!

This issue manifest most often durring calls when gsm signal interact with capacitive sensor. So you can test it very simple by makeing a call even to your free carrier number, put on speaker and tri to browse the web durring call or just play with the menu.. open / close apps..
Up topic
Its 9 days for me since the issue gives no signs comming back.

The problem is only repressed... when you are in an area without WCDMA/UMTS your phone is dead...
Indeed... I sayd before..on 31 jan but at last is an improvement when no one comes with any solutions, I did..
Since I've updated to official update 3.19.401.102 the problem seems to of gone.
I have switched back to gsm/wcdma auto with no problems so far.

My One S is not rooted yet and as every one knows HTC didn't update nothing for us. Before knowing about this issue i though my phone have some problems and i need to go to a service or something.. after i heard about the issue.. i was thinking.. mabe HTC will develop some update, but now that i realize that HTC will never do such a thing i was looking for something to stop the issue without doing any sofware changes.
Please keep me up to date about your ROM and if the issue is not comming back, i'll think about a software change..
As a fact you can give us some fresh links with your ROM

Helicopter still happens with the update but not as much.
Hi every one!
I did managed to Unlock / Root / S-OFF my HTC One S, i had some issues with the CWM untill i got a good recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-villec2.img but i still not receive any update from HTC..
Finally the issue is continue to manifest so.. the only thing we can do at this moment is switching to "WCDMA Only" as i sayd before.
This is a hardware issue that i read about .. there are 2 HTC One S models (probably motherboard series) and one of them has this issue.. so do what i did and stop searching for answers, this is the only way without risking of bricking your device or void your warranty searching for a better solution.
Enjoy it as it is or.. buy a new one if you can't live with it the setting !
Could a software update not solve the problem? I thought htc knew about the issue.
If you look at this link it seems htc know about the issue

Yea HTC know about it but it doesen't do nothing .. coz they don't have nothing to do.. you think will HTC knock on your dor .. and say "hi, this is your new phone" or "helo, please let me change your phone board" this will never happend.. probably they want you to walk over this and buy the new brand. its commercial s**t
