my device has this odd behaviour i have already seen years ago on my htc magic. tje mobile data connection switches between umts and hspa constantly which can be observed by the chqnging H/3G icon. every time it switches the transfer stops which makes the mobile data connection painfully slow at most times... wifi is working perfectly btw.
as far as i understand it this is a bug in the radio firmware. my htc magic stopped showing this behaviour after a firmware update...
anyone else having this issue?
Oh the dreaded "arrow up" "bug" is at large still with 3 it seems.'
I have the HTC Desire (will be getting the HOS) and 3 as carrier too...
That "bug" was even present in my HTC Hero.

4, including my htc magic however the one s is an awesome phone and i guess this problem will be fixable with a radio firmware update soon... interresting that it seems to happen with 3 mostly...didn't have it with my galaxy s however. seems to be htc+3 ...
i will probably write htc's and 3's tech support. as 3 austria will be introducing the one s soon they will have to deal with this bug soon anyway...

I've actually got the exact same problem on my Desire Z on T-Mobile DE. Not sure what to make of it. And I've played with the One S in a Telekom Shop and it seems to be switching wildly between 3G and H too.
The same Desire Z didn't have this problem with a Vodafone Romania SIM card in Bucharest.

hm ... i guess/hope it's a bug in the radio firmware as the data transfer works fine for the rest of the connection after the initial 2 switches from HSPA to UMTS and vice versa. a google search shows that many people with different devices seem to have this issue...
anyway i wrote two emails, one to my carrier (three-austria) and one to htc. i will post any replys!
I have the same Problem with my new HTC One S.
The connection switches constantly between 3G and H and the connection stops. It loads 1-3 MB and after that it takes !10 or more seconds! before it is loading another 1-3MB...
You can not do things like Youtube or Mobile TV because the loading process takes forever with a 3G and HSPA switching connection!
I tried my new (big) SIM Card (from 3 Austria) with my HTC HD2 before i switched to the micro SIM (from 3 Austria) and the connection speed on my HD2 was 5-10 times faster as with my new HTC One S and this can not be!! (HD2 is running Custom Andriod 2.3.7 with radio 2.15.50.14.)
It has to be a major radio software bug that is unexaptable for such an expensive phone!
The Internet is extremely fast with Wifi on my One S... but on the way i doesnt have a Wifi connection...
I really want to keep the phone and everything else works amazingly good but this bug drives me crazy.
I reported this problem to HTC and 3 (drei) as well via E-Mail.
Should i keep the phone?? Or is it better to send it back to Amazon, because i have only 12 days left to send it back without any reason.
Is HTC going to release a radio firmware update very soon? I have no experience with Android updates and HTC. How long does it usually take to receive updates from HTC?
Thanks in advance!
hi, i understand that you are also on three (drei) in austria, probably even in vienna?!
i also sent mails describing the exact problem to three and htc. however neither one was able to give me any more information than what i already new. inbetween i tried a hardware (factory) reset and another sim (on yesss!), but the problem persited.
after several mails back and fourth the htc guy now wrote me a standard "your unit maybe broke and you can send it in for repair" email. however i am pretty sure that this is no hardware defekt but a bug in the radio firmware in which case exchanging the phone would not serve.
it is hard to say how long it will take htc to deliver an update for the radio firmware that fixes this bug. despite the htc support giving me the standard "exchange the unit" answer i will try to push them to get the ticket to the development department. i think that this should not be too hard to fix if they are aware of the problem.
i was just at a local three store in vienna. they said that they don't know of other people having this issue. i checked the software version of the devices they sell against my unlocked one s. same baseband version however a different (and newer!) build number. sadly this firmware is not available yet so there is no way to check if an update will solve the issue.
I seem to have the same problem on Vodafone Germany

I have this problem with T-Mobile UK, I have had the same problem in the past with the Desire HD however it was eventually resolved with a software update.
With the chipping problem and now this it is really starting to put a downer on owning this phone.

same version same issue...
carrier: Wind Italy
a custom rom with 1.53.771 firmware would help?
hm interresting! so the problem actually occurs with many different carriers... would be good to know if anybody solved the problem by exchanging the device?!!
@Goody81: i am not 100% sure but i'd say after all testing and looking at system-/kernel-logs i am pretty convinced that this is a firmware (software) issue. i cannot say that the slightly newer build on the device was due to carrier modifications or if they actually changed something to fix this issue. the guy how showed my the device was no engineer and had no idea what i tried to explain
if this is a software issue and they already fixed it i hope htc delivers the update soon!

No but i live close to vienna.
I tried everything! Restarts, factory reset, delete all stuff on the device, the full program but still the same problem.
Yesterday i received a phone call from 3 Tech support in Germany and i described the problem to him!
He said the problem does not exist with their 3 branded phones.
Then i said, i have a open (not branded) phone from Amazon and i think that is a part of the problem. Later i asked about updates and then he said in most cases it took 9 Month to receive a original update from HTC and thats way to long for me.
So i decided to send my phone back and now i am looking for a phone with the newer radio software on it. It seems the only way for now is to buy it at a 3 (three, drei) Store.
But that's just my own opinion ! You can also wait for a custom rom or radio here at xda and hope this problem will be fixed soon.
But if you want to get sure to receive a working phone with fast internet connection you should buy it direct from a 3 store because they have a customized (and branded) software in order to get it working!
And that software doesnt exist or is not available on a open phone yet.
Anyway, i was not very excited when I heard about that!

hehe i think 9 month is a "little" exaggerated ... this is not a major update like a new android version but a small bug-fix update. i would guess that an updated firmware will leak soon and if you are willing to unlock the bootloader you can update instantly. however i have to agree, i am tempted to return the device as well or at least try a demo unit in a store with my sim card to make 100% sure it's no hardware defekt...
this is an unfortunate pain in the a** since i like everything else about this phone and don't want to return it ^^

Yeah you are right. It would be a bug-fix or only a radio update but i liked that phone and i want a working (non switching) one asap!
And of course i have to try it in the 3 Shop first with my own SIM card.

Oh i forgot!!
The 3 Tech support man from Germany also said they having the same problem on Samsung phones with Android 4.0.4. I think they will also have a fix for this soon.
So make sure not to buy such a phone as well at this time!
It's definitive not only a HTC problem...

yeah, i told my girlfriend about the issue yesterday and she has experienced it on her (my old) galaxy s with the new cm9 nightlies as well. not as often as on my one s however ...
after reading about this issue on this forum (german) and more general about mobile data connections with umts/hspa (german) i think it the issue is the result of an error in the umts<->hspa switching algorithm. as explained on the 2nd link the device will switch from umts to hspa if the bandwidth increases above a certain threshold (~380k) which will interrupt the connection. so far this is normal behaviour however it should not change constantly between during the transfer of data. i am able to achieve a stable (uninterruped) download if a set the maximal bandwidth below ~300kbit. above this threshold the problem occures.
i am now 99.9% sure this is no hw-issue so i will keep the device and a) hope for either htc or three to make modifications/an update to solve this isssue. b) i will investigate if this threshold/algorithm can be influenced with either build.prop or some other method in which case i will root the device and try do develop a fix. i think everybody that has this issue should inform htc about it as they probably have the best chance to fix it fast.
edit: if someone with a three (drei) branded device reads this: i would very much appreciate it if you could post your /system/build.prop file here! thank you in advance!
Hello everyone,
im new here,
I just bought Nexus S from some1,
it had a problem which later showed up.
The touchscreen works all by itself suddenly,
the left part of the screen is misbehaving, it starts touching on screen when its not.
it was on GB when i bought, then i updated it to ICS to see if the problem gets fixed but it gets more crazy, now updated to Jelly Bean, worked fine for a while, but now again its starting.
Any help will be appreciated
I think it is a problem with your touch screen hardware and not the android software. That being said, unless someone else has had the problem, no one can really help you.. Personally, since I've never heard of this problem, I'd recommend you get it repaired, even if it costs some $$. Hopefully someone else who has had the problem can help you out, but until then, best of luck!

Already tried all flashing. nothing helped.
but recently i did some wierd things with phone,
i burned my nexus s screen side, not actually burned it, but kept it to a distance from fire, just to heat it up,
i thought if there was any moisture that was causing the trouble might end up from burning,
after the phone cooled down, i placed battery and started phone..
wow amazing... it worked fine!!
but in the next step i inserted SIM card, i was going happy and was thinking "oh yes... saved the day!!!"
but boom, touchscreen started misbehaving again!!!!
i removed SIM card, but problem persists!!!
sad...
but i tried again,
removed battery and sim card,
burned phone again with more temperature as i was angry, wanted it to burn completely, but i guess i saved it.
now currently, without the SIM card, phone is working perfect as it was.
I dont know wat it has to do with the SIM card or burning
any1 knows wats its problem?? how can i use my SIM card with phone now???

Ok there was another problem, some part of left side of screen is not responding on touching,
previously i flashed a kernel which fixed the issue,
now i don know which kernel was it, lost it,
can any body help me on this issue?
miracle happened
yo guyz i cant believe it... everything is fine now.. phone works with sim too... i guess burning did help... and gues wat.. that left part of screen which was not responding.. its fixed by netarchy kernel.. i m currently using GB 2.3.6 with netarchy kernel.. can any1 give me Jelly Bean ROm? i tried some JB ROM but status 7 error occurs.. need help

you can update like this, one by one to get force update jb.. this trick works for me like charm http://bit.ly/Ok1EHa
Problem is back... and i think i found wat is troubling, its the SIM card, when i insert SIM card it does troubles, but when i use airplane mode, everything gets better.
tried different SIM cards, but no change.
so guyz tell me possible fix of the SIM card?
noticed another problem,
phone takes a very long time to recharge
and when i plug the recharger, sometimes battery indicates 10% or more Additional battery suddenly
i don understand wat is the problem?
Battery? Recharger? or SIM Slot??
im getting crazy now!!
Finally Its Fixed without spending any money
it seems baseband was troubling... as it was something like this i9020A this A is meant for AT&T thus its preferred network was WCDMA (my network is only on GSM).. i saw a code to see my phone info.. *#*#4636#*#*
This code showed up a window where i saw a button called radio... i switched it off.. i thought it was meant for FM Radio lol.. but it actually turned off my Cellular network.. i turned it back on and then i saw that the problem was gone... i went to see baseband and now its I9020XXX .. that A is gone..
Issue is fixed but there is one thing i don't understand at all.. how did fixing radio band fixed the touch issue? I think this conflict was causing Operating System to go crazy, hardware was never at fault..it was all software confliction.. I'm very happy its fixed..
If some1 have the same issue go here
*#*#4636#*#* turn radio off then turn on again.. hope it helps..and if it doesn't then at least it helped me

I have a Nexus S and I have the exact same problem since last few days. I enabled "show touche" from the developer options to track the screen touch. Now I can clearly see that one column on the left side of the phone gets a random series of touches (in that one column only) from top to bottom. The issue I think is a HW issue, nothing to do with sim card, or ROM or anything related to SW. I have tried GB, ICS, JB and even "touch" version of the clockwork. It happens even in clockwork. It seems to me that I need to buy a Galaxy nexus unless someone knows of an easy way to fix this.
Same Problem
Hey man,
I got the same problem.
I tried so much things but it's absolutely a hardware problem, I found on the internet that there is some netarchy kernel modified by someone, but that's not up to date anymore. The kernel only works with a old version of android.
I update my android almost every month, it helps a bit but not much.
I am trying to learn all about building and modifying roms and kernels, but that is not that easy as I thought so that will take some time before I can publish a kernel for you.
Maybe if you can building kernels, try it by yourself?
Or google Nexus s unresponsive touchscreen, i found there some helpful answers. But they all not really up to date.):
I hope you'll find a way!
Sorry for my bad English​
People can't hear me for 2 or 3 seconds after I answer phone on my vodafone smart 2.......what a nightmare...is there a solution to this problem?
cheers
Anyone else with this phone experiencing this? I tried the patch on Google play market but doesn't work and the patch was made well over a year ago! has no other attempt to rectify this problem been made since, only I've googled info on it and plenty of people have the same problem but it seems there is just the one patch that appears to be rather hit or miss.
Hi ladies and gents,
I recently decided to buy a china phone that has the necessary spec to work in canada( in terms of frqcy). So my question is the following my phone works like a charm Wifi bluetooth ive gaming apps wifi file transfer everything works like a champ except my mobile network. Now consider this for two -3 days my mobile network was working on the HSDPA H+ network and man I was getting great speed. Now the problems is I decided to have fun and delv a little bit into rooting and using custom Roms but found myself with a bricked phone no problem reload factory fresh Rom and MTK droid tools new IMEI and voila phone working like a charm except insert SIM Card 8 second approximately after Ive received notice that I have a voicemail my phone shuts down and this happen every time it's killing how could this happen how is it possible is my carrier sending some type of lock on my sim is there a hardware issue with the phone how do I figure this out how do I solve this unsolvable problem if you are a genius in phones please respond with he most complex response you can heheh as i would really like to know why this is happening it's absolutely baffling to me.
Ok ill do it myself

hello
i have a samsung s6 920f that i bought from samsung.
one day the bottom buttons stoped working (somtimes they did) and i gave it to samsung lab that said to me that the phone cannot be fixed and that they noticed the charging is not good also.
there was no problem with the network or signal before i gave to the lab and just got it back from them with the buttons not working and the lab said there are water damges etc.
after i got my s6 back i checked youtube and saw that the problem is with the charging and buttons moudle.
i got to anothe lab and they said that the fix could brake the screen because of the glue in the back of it so that the will not take the blame if they brake it.
so i got the parts and broke my screen myself while trying to replace the buttons
after i nroke my screen i took the device to a lab and they installed a new screen and buttons and charging port - now the buttons works well as well as charging - and the lab did not see water damge
the problem is that from that point the device has no network but it recognize the sim itself and whats on it. i cant search for networks or somthing like that.
i rooted the phone, i restarted it a few times i installed new rom old roms deleted imei restored it when i installed the original firmware, tryed differnt roms but nothing.
in all of the roms there is no network at all.
now the lab told me that they cannot find somthing but got another phone like mine that was "untoched" but same problem.
my phone havent been repaird and bought from samsung itself in israel.
does anybody knows a technical soloution to the problem (not go to samsung) or the phone and address samsung main lab in korea?
i have a new phone but i want to solve this.
i will mention that the antenna cable is attched and the sim works in my new phone and had tried the phone with a few sims.
for the s3 i saw somthing named ariza patch but it didnot worked on my device.
any ideas apart from not buying samsung phone again?
bump
got the phone back from the lab today
they gave up.
all good but the no service

i am trying to understand what the problem is.
i flashed a new pit and 6/0/1 firmware but no change.
i have noticed that the signal strength is -113db in the phone. - dows it says somthing to you?
it cold be a reception unit in the phone? does anyone have clue about it? do you jave a link for the part?
it turned out that samsung dont deal with parts only with boards and its ashame.
anyone knows a lab that i can send the phone to that repair electronics and not just play with plug and play parts?
baseband is ok
fyi - i flashed new pit and original firmware to try if it's a software issue but nothing.
also custom firmware not working.
any test mode code?

i noticed a bootloader problem on updates. and ! mark.
no chance to downgrade from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1 and even if you can what's the point?
i belive this problem came from certificates error and will not be solved by downgrading or upgrading software
