network sundenly going off many tiles a day

Hi,
Many times a day network goes off for no reason.
I have to turn it OFF/ON or choose select network.
It is not a network problem because I have another phone on the same operator that do not have this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Saadi

I'm so haaappy to hear this from somebody else on this planet !!! (Thought I got mad)
Exactly the same problem, but only when in ROAMING.
The network goes off several times the day and the only option is to turn off and on the phone.
Another problem connected with Roaming mode is that when dialing a number, there is one dialing tone + second dialing tone (immediately after the first one, but its faster than a normal repeating one), which is extremely loud so that I get ear pains.
What to do guys?
I was talking to the PalmOne support using my support-ticket you can get with registration but he didn't hear about that and couldn't help me.
...that's so much pitty as I love the device

Try changing the 3g band to gsm under settings/phone/service/band selection that might help

Hi,
I tried to limite to UMTS but it did not work, passed it to automatique still did not work. Will try GSM.
I have noticed that I am having this problem only at work and home where I have a wifi router near by.
Could the wifi affect reception?

Shouldn't be possible as Wi-Fi is completely different radio band and there is technically no Wi-Fi corresponding element inside the Treo. But as I think this might be a bug (firmware?) why does so few people have this problem...

It is weared, I only have this problem at work and at home.
So they must be something that affect reception.
The only thing i can notice is the presence of wifi routers.

smmonla - have you got any news about this problem?
I tried to hard-reset, to change all the bands etc. but nothing helps.
There are no problems with my new Excalibur which is also very sexy, but still I want the Treo

Hi,
Still having the same problem.
As I have read, we are not the only ones having this problem.
I also like my treo a lot.
Hope palm has a fix for this problem soon.

have a look at here. It isn't a very hot news and doesn't really help me, but still:

I have noticed that when I limit the band to GSM, I do not have the problem anymore.
Could it be an OS problem?

And now we are on the subject of 2G versus 3G, there is at least one advantage with the S620 not being a 3G mobile. You are free from the potential problem that some 3G Smartphones become “confused” regarding the continuous switch between 2G and 3G radio masts. A 3G Smartphone sometimes loses the connection to the network completely, even though it looks like you are “on”. Numerous Qtek 9000/HTC MTeoR/HTC TyTN owners have experienced this problem because some mobile operators have not optimised their networks for these types of models. These problems should be on the decline, partly because of software updates from HTC and partly because of mobile operators beginning to solve their network problems.

Unable to get 3G on my Touch Cruise

I've recently got a new 3G iphone. It came with a new SIM card that is suppose to be optimized for iphone. When I put this sim card into my Touch Cruise, I am unable to get 3G. There is signal bars but I cannot make or receive phone calls. The only way to make or receive phone calls is by disabling the 3G. The same applies for Data. I thought maybe the radio ROM was not working so I changed it to the Murata ROM but I am still having problems. I am on the Rogers network in Canada. Has anybody else having similar problems? Any help would be appreciated as I still find my Touch Cruise more useful than the 3G iphone.

Most probably is ur phone broken. U will have to send it to the service. Maaaaany users had/have/will have problems with calls, connections, signal strenght,bluetooth, camera, broken wheel etc. I had... Touch cruise is crapy.

If you know someone with a non-iPhone 3G sim, try theirs in your Cruise and see what happens

Actually, I did this today. Same thing happen. I would get a 3G signal but when I tried to make a call, I get no signal. But when I disable the 3G, edge works fine with voice and data.

Hi, I sufered the same problem until yesterday. I had the same problems. Yesterday I switched off the HSDPA switch in the software, after a soft reset the TC came back online. Probably worth trying?

I've tried both Murata radio roms. Both gives very good 3G signal but when I try to make a call or use data, I get no connection. I've tried the original radio ROM and some of the Kaiser ported radio Roms. They all give me no connection with 3G. In every case, when I disable the 3G, I can make calls and get data although it is only through edge and GPRS. I looked at my box for the TC and it is revision A. Do I need to send my TC for repair? I even went as far as calling my cell phone provider(Rogers) and they couldn't help me. The phone is functional but without 3G I am not getting very fast data speeds.

The problem started with my TC started after upgrading to Udk R6 and R7, after upgrading to R8 and a new radio version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351964
Will give you an updated radio version what will have a good match with the Udk diamond R8 Rom.
Succes, WAS

just a question, I'm on ATT, and the sim card I use on my polaris came off the iPhone3G, and I get the H (the high speed thing) sign on the phone during data sessions. on some areas I'm only able to get E and sometimes even the G sign came on and off. so I guess, maybe wherever you are, the 3G signal isn't strong enough, so you can only get edge.
and as of the other person noted, polaris is kind of at the edge of getting broken, fast. I only uses mine exclusively for web browsing for a week when the phone goes crazy. sent it to repair and everything seems to be in "sane" mode now let's hope that my phone didn't try to go insane again

I am having the same problem, 2 weks ago I traveled to other country without 3g network (only edge) and i had used a diferents simcards. When I come back to my country, I lost the 3g only works in GSM , I try another sims card and same problem and the orignal simcard in differnts mobiles 3gs worsk fine. Do you find any solutions? You are the only person who i find with the same problem.
Thanks

Guys, maybe a silly comment but did you check the following settings : phone/menu/options/band and check select network type to auto?
I have had problems before with 3G & HSDPA. Somtimes when your registered on HSDPA and you travell away from that mast/area into an area that only has 3G or even only Edge, then device does not re-register onto the other band and you will not be bale to make calls and will miss calls. This happened for days one time and i very nearly hard reset my device in frustration, i eventually found out it was a network problem.
Another work around is going to phone/menu/networks and manually select networks and hopefully it should bring up your 3G network.
Phone operators do not like telling you that their 3G or HSPDA networks do not have good coverage or intermittent quality of signal. My 3G network only has 70% coverage & 30 % of that is HSDPA, so i sometimes end up on EDGE and hence miss calls.
Try playing around with the setting above one at a time. When im stuck i manually set band to GSM (edge), then when travelling away reset back to auto. Most of the time however it is fine.

Hi, I'm from Argentina. I had the same problem with 3G after a trip to other country. Now my TC only works well in GSM Band. Unfortunatelly we don't have service support here so if anyone knows how to fix this will be highly appreciated.

I have the same problem in my Polaris. I tried almost every radio i could find, i tried with different sim cards, i tried with official wm6 and wm6.1 roms with no result. When 3G is enabled i can not make or receive calls. I think that the problem started when i first upgraded from WM6 to WM6.1. Now i keep band selection to GSM so at least i can use my polaris as a phone. There must be something that prevents gsm connection when 3G is active. I hope a registry tweak could be found for this. I' m just one step from sending my device to be serviced.

I have the same trouble with my virgin uk sim card and t-mobile which share the same network(need to turn off 3g),but no trouble with my asda sim which uses the vodaphone network.So if you try different sim cards make sure they dont share networks.Another thing i've noticed with my virgin sim is all my preferred networks are unchecked but my phone will still connect if my 3g is turned off?

[Q] Nexus 5 only connects to LTE on T-Mobile

I did some searching around and found a couple of pages with ideas but they have not worked so far. Here's the deal, my son's said his Nexus 5 was getting pretty bad reception so I took a look at it. After some toggling of the network settings I discovered that it will only connect to LTE, not to HSPA(+) or Edge. Where we are, we have somewhat weak LTE (2 of the three towers have been "modernized" with LTE and band 2 HSPA+, one has not and it's slightly closer to us). We have a Cell-Fi repeater so we get strong HSPA+ signal in our house. His sim works fine in a Nexus 4 with the hybrid radio getting Edge, HSPA+ and LTE. My nano sim with adapter that works fine in the Nexus 4 exhibits the same problems in the Nexus 5. I tried formatting the cache from the stock recovery menu and am now looking to do a factory reset since I never did oem unlock this phone so I can't just flash a radio to test.
My gut tells me it's hardware so I have my son rebuilding his phone environment on the Nexus 4 so that we can do a factory reset to see if that helps and I'll unlock it at that point. If it doesn't fix it, I've already started the conversation with the play store. My question is, anyone else seen anything like this? Anything else I should try out?

if lte is in your area, and not a perfect signal, itll still choose to connect to lte by default. if you lose your lte connection, then itll connect to H or 3G, and so on. if you do not want it to connect to lte, go to the phones main settings, mobile networks, then change the preferred network type from lte to 3G. or you can dial *#*#4636#*#*, chose phone info, then change the network type to wcdma preferred.

Thanks for the reply, I understand all that. I don't know if I asked clearly enough or not but the problem we are seeing here is that this particular phone can only connect to LTE which is weak inside my house. So, when it tries to switch over, it just won't connect. I also tried to make a call which will switch to HSPA+ and that too fails. Going to the info menu and selecting WCDMA preferred nets me a phone that won't connect, selecting GSM results in the same. LTE only or GSM/LTE works only if it picks up an LTE signal. Ditto for selecting 2G, 3G or LTE preferred in the Mobile Networks menu. I've also reset the APN's, confirmed that the settings match my MotoX, etc and still no joy.
Just looking for ideas that someone might have that I can try before blowing away all my son's data on a factory reset or, if that fails, hardware replacement.

ok, i understand now. i didnt know that it wasnt connecting to h or 3G when it should. to me it sounds like a device ready to get an rma. i mean there is a hardware mod that could possibly fix it, but its not worth the trouble. if you can get an rma, get an rma.

Yea, according to the nice person I spoke to at the play store, I should indeed qualify for an RMA and I should find out in the next day or so. I purchased the phone new in box from someone and they were able to find the phone and they are now attributing the phone to me.
I am curious about the hardware mod though. Is this just for Edge/HSPA or is it for signal in general? If it's signal in general then I'm not sure I'd want to try it since this phone used to work just fine.

yup, thats it
but i would chose the rma route, as the nexus 5 shouldnt be behaving that way.

Poor S8+ data hangover...Bad 3G/4G signal/performance

I thought that S8+ has better antenna and modem than my iPhone 7+. But I made mistake. It is far worse than 7+. Even I have full bars on 3G it switches back to 2G and if on 4G it switches on 3G. WTF Samsung!?
I need to access service menu and set 3G/4G only but I have another thread about service menu which I cannot access....

Go to settings, connections, mobile networks, and tap network mode. Is 4G/3G/2G enabled? If not, enable it, and see if 4G connects

Which Variant do you have? I had a similar issue when I first bought the Verizon S8+ to use on Cricket/AT&T. I ended up having to return it and get the AT&T one. The first one I had would run on 4G or LTE with 4-5 bars and would constantly loose service, and every time I would try to make a call it would switch to 3G and tell me that international calling was not on my plan until 3 or more attempts later. Then it would finally make the call on 3G network. Since I've swapped I haven't had this problem. No I still don't get as good of signal as my iPhone 7 plus but it's comparable now.

International Sim-Unlocked 955F variant (EXYNOS). It is OK to switch from 4G to 3G if operator doesn't support VoLTE on its network. But that is not my problem. Full bar 3G, surfing web and it switches to 2G. NOT NORMAL. Same as on 4G to 3G. Full 4G bars.

If you have tried factory reset and all other trouble shooting, I'd just set up a RMA and get a new one. If you are in the US maybe the Snapdragon if you're willing to sacrifice root. Sounds really annoying to have a phone with LTE and be stuck using 2G. Just my 2 cents

Got the same issue...

Hi Friend, it so true...
I use S8 Plus and experience the same issue. If we only use S8, we will never realized this fail but if we use another device like Sony Experia or Mi5 (my experience), we will realized that S8 has worse signal receiver. I complained it to Samsung through Twitter, just say they will check on it and never get back to my last message.
Kind of mess for an expensive phone and high class brand.

I'm having the same problem, with 3G makes a hang out signal, and I need to turn on the airplane mode and turn off to get signal and H+ or 4G, did you find a solution with this issue?

phone losing connection? going to sleep?

I've read a few others with this issue. Randomly the phone will seemingly loose connection will not recieve calls or texts until you pick it up and use it. And 50 texts start coming thru. Etc... I'm on T Mobil, have great signal. I've toggled 3g preferred, 4g preferred, and have developer options enabled, keep connection at all times. Still does it. Any thoughts???? Or help would be appreciated

Thanks but this isn't my issue. Phone seems to struggle switching bands. From 4g to 3g and gets hung.
This phone connects to T-mobile 4g fine for data. But for sms and calls it goes to 3g, as it doesn't have VoLTE...seems like it doesn't switch all the time or get hung up. I've tried turning off 4g. This seems to help. But the phone has a definite issue. Not sure if it's considered normal since it's not utilizing 4g for voice and one of the little things you have to live with

There's definitely an issue, and it's not just with the Tmobile sim. Sometimes my china unicom Sim says no service too. But they won't say no service at the same time. It's one or the other. I've tried to switch the sims to other slots but same thing. I know its an issue with the phone because when my phone says no service, i look at my wifes phone and she has full bars on her phone. (pixel 2 xL in china with Tmobile USA Sim roaming on china mobile)
Must be a software issue

I have an similar issue... Just it's only for my 3G/4G after 10min of utilization i lost connection (call & sms work fine) and my phone say all is ok (I have the 4G icon...) I forced to disable / enable the Data 1 or 2 times for 3G/4G come back... I have Global Rom & SFR french network

Same problem 10 min data off for like 45 seconds n comes back by itself

Hmm similar problem. Having trouble getting calls on Tmobile. Lots of people calling and going straight to voicemail.
