[Q] connection problem...frustrated, please help!!!

Ok at random times, my phone will be showing full service...all 5 bars...or sometimes even just 3 bars....but showing it has service. Yet I have no internet and cant make phone calls or receive phone calls.
If I reboot the phone or turn airplane mode on and back off...everything will start working again....but this only last for a little while.....
I first noticed it after trying out LeedDroid, so I restored cleardroid and the problem was still there, I've since switched to the Ace Inspire rom by gtg....and tried using both the 26.06.06.30 radio and the 26.09.04.11 radio and there matching RIL. Same problem on both. When its working data speeds are great...best I've seen....but the problem is, its not always working.
EDIT: So I ended up formatting my SD card and starting all over with attn1's rooted stock rom, then flashed ClearDroids rom and so far so good, no problems.....my data speeds are back down to about 2.5, and I'm definitely missing the 4 to 5 I was seeing on some of the GB roms...
A little scared to flash anything else, so does anyone have any ideas on what might have happened, or had any experience with there phone not connecting even though it says there is service?

Any thoughts????

Did you do a full erase, wipe cache, dalvik prior to flashing the ROM?

My guess would be something to do w/ the latter radio flashing. I lost good data speeds due to radio flashing and had to rerun the hack kit on.the rom I was usin to get them back.
Try.flashing just.the rom you want without the ril and see what happens. If I flash the ril, it breaks GPS on mine.

Yeah I always do a full erase, cache and dalvik before all my roms, I dont have that much stuff on my phone in the first place, so I dont mind starting from scratch each time.

Thats good to know....maybe the RIL flashing is what did it...its just odd that when I restored my nandroid back up of ClearDroid...the problem was still there, even tried flashing the Radio 3 times in row.... one minute I would be getting 4mb down and 1.8 up....then 2 minutes later...no data, no phone calls...yet full 5 bars of service....then if I waited longer...it might start working again...and so on.

Similar issue here on a STOCK rom. Looking at H+ with 3 bars and while the phone app works, I have absolutely no internet access.

There us something going on with flashing some of the desire hd roms and then the inspire roms. I lost gps under leedroid and after restoring a backup some thing stayed and was still causing the issues, it continued after flashing numerous roms. I had to redo the hack kit and start from scratch to fix it. I bet that you are having something of that sort going on. I was scared to flash anything after I got it set up but now I stick to either aosp builds or roms by US devs and haven't had any issues. Also on a side note, I have heard some people saying that gps on the inspire only works with a clear view if the sky, and mine will lock inside to 10 m in under 15 seconds. I think you just need the right rom.

Random freezes!

Hello everyone I'm new to this so here goes. Arhd 6.1.5 I would randomly get freezes ever so often I ignored however because I saw 6.2..I downloaded 6.2 and I super wiped. And flashed the correct radio. But I am still getting random freezes forcing me to pull battery. The freezes usually happen when I lock my screen and go to unlock it. The 4 capacitive buttons light up then It freezes. I don't understand why I keep getting freezes. Starting to happen more often now with 6.2 also I tried turning my CPU settings Down but still no help.

When you say you superwiped before install do you also wipe data, cache, dalvik cache and battery stats(just because lol)...do you also restore any data and/apps with tibu
Sent from my bacon infused Inspire cooked on Absolution

I wiped everything since I had problems with this rom at version 6.1.5 so i went ahead and wiped everything and downloaded all my stuff again to see if this helped, but it did not work. I don't use titanium backup. I figured just wiping everything and redownloading all my stuff would work, I did have a backup though just in case it didnt work, so I restored that after I saw I still got freezes.

Have you tried other roms or kernels? I'd suggest Coredroid. I've tried several others and find it to be the most stable.

are you OCing or UVing? Have you changed radios/kernels recently? I know when I UVing too much my phone loves to freeze. I would say try a ROM that doesn't OC out of the gate as believe ARHD has there rom set to 1.2 I think? I know Bindroid keeps theres at about stock and is extremely stable.

i have a similar problem. can I set the cpu back to stock level on ARHD using OCDaemon?

Reboots itself

Hi,
Sometimes my Sensation just reboots itself. My first thought was because of the beta version of the ICS, so I decided to go back to the Ginger. But im still having the same problem.
Does someone has the problem and what did you do, to let it disappear
Thanks

reeboots
hi,
first you should download the latest firmware package from mike1986 and upgrade.
put it on your sd and go into bootloader and let it detect it (that the one you need "Firmware from 3.12.401.2/102 RUU")
after that put your wanted rom and do full wipe ext4 and than flash your wanted rom.
remember don't use any ad dons that are not supported it will cause you those reboot problems, also when restoring from backup restore only data like sms and ppl. apps data may be not supported and could cause problems.
good luck...

Ok, i'll try it again.
I've already did that so.. we shall see..
Thanks ;-)

The random reboots seem to be a quite common problem. I'm also having this issue. But setting the phone to either GSM only or WCDMA only seems to keep it alive (if the cause for reboot is the same as mine of course..). I installed the new firmware hoping it would help but I still get reboots. It's actually not a reboot as the phone just turns off and I have to manually turn it on again.

Yes its the same as me, but sometimes my phone 'reboots' more than once in 5 minutes..
Also my battery change from 5% to 30% to 7% to 41%...

Bootloops with any Rom, PLEASE HELP..!!

guys I have a serious problem..!!
I was in 5.1.8 everything was fine non a problem and when 5.5 came out I installed it, super wipe script, and install the Rom; I was getting a lot of boot loops. Reinstall the ROM again full wiping, ans still the same. I came back to 5.1.8 and I'm still having boot loops but not that often like it was in 5.5, now I have boot loops when turn on the data or when I try to make a call... I really don't know what could be the problem because I have installed hundreds of roms with the same steps and everything was fine,.I don't know what could be the problem...
I hope someone could help me thanks a lot

Hi... I once had a similar problem late last year. My phone kept rebooting randomly, sometimes as soon I switch the phone on, or data like yourself. What I did was.... Installed the official RUU that came on my phone (O2) and the rebooting stopped. But I felt the need to send it back anyway, so I did and just as well, because HTC replaced the mainboard and a few other things. I hadn't overclocked or anything either so it was a strange one.
This way worked for me, so give it a go.

I rooted my phone, then unrooted without ever installing a custom rom. I have gotten boot loops ever since and seemingly random shut downs that require me to take out the battery and put it back in before the phone will boot up again. Happens every day, several times a day.

When you say rooted and unrooted what exactly did you do?? Meaning did you HTC unlock or use revolutionary to s-off? And what recovery did you use? Because in actuality all root is, is the su binaries and the su app, not the process of gaining the access. There are inherent problems with the htcdev unlock and using cwm as your recovery. Even if you delete su the remnants of either process could possibly cause problems. Did you return to s-on again?? Because that will cause serious issues if you don't have the correct ruu. Did you flash any newer firmwares??? The few before .32 did cause loops without the correct rom.
Also in your case it sounds like a rogue app causing loops because it boots up after a battery pull. Have you tried to factory reset and wipe your data to see if that helps??

Used Revolutionary, not sure what I used to put it back as it's been a while but I followed a guide from here. I'm trying the card piece trick so we'll see if it does anything.

Pm me if your soff I can help easy
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium

Thanks but not s-off anymore and just got another reboot so I doubt it's the battery. I guess I'll try to deal with it until ICS and see if that fixes anything. If not then I guess I'll try something more drastic.

Well get soff you can't fix with out it
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium

Ok, got s-off again.

It seems to have something to do with going in and out of service or switching between wifi and cell service. But that could just be a coincidence.

Anyone have ideas on how to fix this? I got the OTA ICS and I'm still getting reboots.

it won't hurt ur phone u must stick a tape to close the gap between batt pins and connectors do it and see it easy but worth allot

Tried that earlier in this thread and it didn't help.

Anyone else?

Well guys after reading I fixed my problem cleaning the little panels in the battery, and also installing another rom, seems like the htc sense roms have some problems with that because since I install a senseless rom (not aosp) the problem is gone

I think you did not unroot properly. Can you please describe the process you used for unrooting?

Don't remember what guide I used to unroot as it was a while back. It definitely seems to have something to do with the signal. It will lose signal, reboot, get pretty warm and repeat while sometimes just shutting off and needing the battery pulled and put back before it will turn back on. My wife will have a signal just fine in the same areas mine loses them.
Very frustrating because I'm missing a lot of calls and txts because it'll just shut down.

First make a NANDROID backup now. Then try rooting again to see if that fixes the issue.
If not, try to flash a different Radio. I would in your case also suggest wiping all partitions except SD card and re-installing the ROM, after flashing the radio.

[Q] HTC weird crash

Hi,
Yesterday I connected phone to the charger, then htc crashed, so I tried to pull out battery and put in after 5-10 mins but I couldn't boot up Sensation, even I didn't see orange/yellow LED light what means that charger is connected (I thought it's bricked device now...). Today I did the same standard procedure and surprisingly I could turn on my phone. Unfortunately, when I entered the PIN code, after 2-3 minutes htc crashed again. Screen frozen for about 10 seconds, I couldn't do anything. Recovery mode works OK, it doesn't crash there. I also tried to wipe all data and restore system from backups; install ROM again - and the same thing happened. I'm using ViperS ROM. I hope I didn't damage anything inside device. I might that HTC Service has replaced motherboard in my Sensation 1.5 month ago.
The question is what can I do, test or do something what can solve this problem? Since motherboard replacement it worked fine, till yesterday.
Maybe they replaced worse motherboard? I just wanna be ensured that I didn't do something bad (maybe it's known problem) before sending this device for 3 weeks again.
I look forward to the answers.

May be you have set the CPU frequency too high and reboots to protect your cpu.Also try to return to stock rom and see if there reboots
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using xda premium

Thank you for your answer.
I don't think that 1566MHz is too high CPU frequency, but I set it to lower in viper's tweaks and it's still happening.
#edit
It crashed in recovery too...

Have you tried different rom, different kernel? If it's still happening start everything fresh and as it was suggested before go back to stock again. Run a RUU and see if it still happens.

Thank you guys. Works like a charm. I installed stock ROM, recovery again and then I restored backup. No crash for 1 hour, I hope it won't happen again.

Unfortunately, it worked fine for one day. Now I have the same situation. I ran Road Race game and after 3 mins of playing, screen got stucked and I heard loop sound.
Now I'm trying to boot up Sensation for 30 minutes.. It stucked on boot animation, but device doesn't get bootloop.
Maybe it's something wrong with GPU?

When u say restored backup, what do you mean? Apps or nandroid? After you flashed the ruu I would recommend to start fresh. If you use custom Rom, flash it with full wipe plus redownload all your apps again from play. Do not overclock gpu and cpu either.

I restored backup with data. Yesterday I installed stock ROM again and then I wiped all partitions. Next I installed Jelly Bean without restoring any app backups and it crashed too. I dunno what did I wrong. Maybe I should go back to S-ON and again do S-OFF?

No. No. No. NO. NO. NO.
That's just inviting more trouble... lots of people report errors when they S-ON again... so you might not want to do that... unless you want to go back to HTC service and ask about the problem...

Depends if they do S-ON well. I just dunno what can I do now, these crashes are really annoying. Probably I don't have a choice, so I should send it to HTC service, but I'm afraid that they will simply install software again, and then they will send me back with details on paper: "Software has been re-installed". That crash happens sometimes 5 minutes after boot to few hours after using.
