For the past couple days, my phone has been sporadically connecting to Google (white/green signal bars). Seems fine when I'm on wifi, but when using Sprint, the problem seems to be coming up fairly often. I checked all setting, all looks good. Is this a Google/Sprint issue or something with my phone?
Thanks!
Me too man... Sometimes when I try too load the browser it just shows white bars and the 3g icon Is white too.
Evo
Well at least I know it's not just me Guess it's a Sprint issue...
Same here

had this same issue, and now i'm not even getting 3g. cant even update my profile or prl now.
i have the same problem. it seems to happen almost ever 10 minutes. if i'm sending a text or in an app that requires internet, i'll get errors like "not sent" "disconnected" or "no active internet connections" and that's even when I'm ON wi-fi. i don't understand it. i figured if it was a sprint issue, i would get the "x" over the signal bars and not a color change. i assumed it was a radio problem? but i don't know enough about this stuff. lol
That's weird. I have the white bars and 3g icon and I can still get on emails market mms and on xda as I'm typing this now.

You still have data with the white bars. The green bars just indicate you are actively connected with Google services like gmail, talk, etc.

if your not getting the green connectivity to google, check how much internal app storage space you have left. not the sd storage. ive noticed that every time that i go below 100mb app storage, i lose connectivity to googles servers. and i dont get it back, turn green, until i either uninstall a few apps or move them to the sd storage.

I have 638mb available So I doubt it is a storage problem.

i second this, i have around 600mb free and still have white bars.
phone is back to normal this morning (so far)...
This has been happening to me as well for the past 2 weeks. I've tried a hard reset, but the issue is still persistent.
I have 614MB free.

Nope, I'm thinking this was more of an issue w Google and/or Sprint.

Something tells me you are using a task manager that is turning data off when the screen is off.

No. I just turn it off with the notification bar cm7. But when its on and I surf the web sometimes it happens. And not right away but after searching a few sites
This is pretty simple, go to the dialer and enter;
*#*#4636#*#*
Click on Phone Information
Scroll down to Set preferred network type
Select that one that you want
hit back
PROFIT!

The option without LTE
Will shutting down LTE make a difference if its not even available in my area?
idk with wifi on still, i still have 4g lte option, with data offline, i still have 4g icon but no data lol..
i dont think it even drains your battery regardless if your in lte or not
Mine won't let ne change it

There's like 1048204. But I figured it out.
Shame on all of you for discovering this !!! AT&T DOES not want LTE folks selecting HSPA+ when in an LTE area. They want to be able charge you more for data!!!
mine wont let me change it either to any option without LTE

This..........
Would be even cooler if it was a widget to do this.
But still, how does this save money? If you use the data you're gonna use it. Downloading an e-mail uses the same amount of data no matter how fast you get it.
I am curious though that if this helps save battery if you know you're in an area with spotty coverage...Maybe it won't be hunting for LTE when you know there is no LTE, which could save battery maybe?
I sill have poor performance inside my apartment. So weird. It says 4G and even 4G LTE sometimes but I don't have internet. I just turned on the WiFi ... but still, calls with static (though they work) and my wife never had these issues on her iPhone. Really disappointed but fortunately the issue goes away when I'm actually mobile. I wonder if I switch to a different setting if it will improve indoors or not. --edit-- THIS indoor setting, not all "indoors"
This does not work, guys. It didn't work on the GS2 either. It defaults back to an LTE option every single time. If you are in an HSPA area, you may THINK it is working because your connection remains HSPA, but I assure you that it is not working.
In an LTE area, I stay in LTE, no matter how many times I try to switch to HSPA using this method.
Just set up a HSPA APN and make that the default. Then you will only be on HSPA untill you change it back to the LTE APN

Is there a HowTo on this?
Those sneaky bastards. They are found a way to auto change it back to AT&T default for the GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto selection. No matter what I select it defaults back.
AT&T Got creative on restricting this phone those a**holes.
From my understanding the S4 chipset on the One X is integrated with LTE so there is a lot less power drain that other chipsets with LTE. It might not be possible to turn it off if they're both working on the same radio. Or even if you do manage to turn it off, there might not be as big of a battery performance boost as with other LTE devices.

that doesn't really help too much. what's your screen on time? i got around 3hrs yesterday. still calibrating my battery though. seems to be lasting me about a day (12hrs +/-) with LTE always on which is great imo.
This is the second handset I've received and is now experiencing the same symptoms. With the phone sitting on my desk at work it drops the connection to the Rogers tower and sits in NO Service state.
Has anyone else experienced the same problems with their One-X?
Q.
Yep, I get this too. I'm quite sure it'll be fixed in an update, but in the meantime I have switch in and out of airplane mode to fix it.

Airplane mode doesn't do a thing for me to get it reconnected. I have to reboot the phone. I also still get the 'preparing SIM' message now and then. Others have attributed that to Sense and using another launcher either fixed it or covered up the message from being displayed.
I am curious if there is a hardware issue with intermittent contact with the SIM card.
Hey guys,
I got my HOX on Friday last week and I've rooted, unlocked the bootloader network unlocked it so I could use it with Bell. I haven't noted those symptoms being on the Bell Network. Could be worth to check with Rogers.
I had tons of connection issues on Rogers....until I disabled LTE. Now I get full bars all the time and never lose the network. I used to get 1-2 bars max on LTE and I would randomly lose connection completely. I think Rogers LTE network just sucks.

Yeah I never get much more then 2 bars on LTE either, but the speeds are lightning fast

AWS has terrible wall penetration. This is why Wind Mobile and Mobilicity customers are always complaining about the terrible reception and dropped calls they get. Rogers uses the same frequency.

Interestingly enough, I'm not even on an LTE plan. Confirmed with Rogers today that I am still on my Captivate's 3G plan.
I never get the LTE in the notifications bar just 4G and my signal will go from full bars to nothing.
Another interesting observation -although it might have been coincidence, when I noticed I was in No Service I tapped the back of the phone like anyone would when frustrated and low and behold, it came back online!
The evidence of a hardware problem reading the SIM is growing.....2nd phone showing the same issue though ????, very odd.

I am using mine on att and I am experiencing the same issue.

i think the issue is the phone not reading the sim card properly. I'm the "preparing sim card" pop-up has something to do with it also

I have my Rogers HOX unlocked for Telus, I haven't lost cell usage but I do get loss of data connection all the time... I go into Gmail or YouTube and it says no connection retry.. Hit retry and it good.. pain in as but that's what I get for unlocking it...

My AT&T HOX is doing this too, network drops off and it gets stuck on EDGE.
Just started yesterday. I've had the phone since launch last Sunday.
Unfotunetly i have the same problem. i rooted my HOX (AT&T) to use another service. but my new service is not working properly, signal is always too weak. Is there anyone who knows to solve? HELP NEEDED...
This is weird I have had my One X for about two weeks and have never experienced a signal drop I've always been one LTE or a maybe for a few hours when I drive out to 4G or something, but never an actual drop. Not sure if this helps but I flashed the Asia Radio and I am using the Nocturnal xi40 rom.

thx for your help. but could you pls explain me how did you flashed the radio. and is this rom works for HOX AT&T model. as you know there are diffrences between global HOX and AT&T HOX.
I flashed the radios through the TWRP recovery, and the the roms posted in the other thread have all so far worked for my rogers HTC One X.

I just got this phone from AT&T yesterday, everything else is fine, but I just can't connect to the WiFi network. I can scan it, and the signal strength is normal, but everytime I try to connect, the signal suddenly drops to nothing, and it stucks at a connect-disconnected-scan-connect loop. I've already tried flashing the latest RUU (which they say it solves some of the WiFi problems) and read hundreds of threads and articles about this, I JUST CANNOT FIND A CASE SIMILAR TO ME.
Any ideas? This is so annoying because the laptop beside my gets full signal and my EVO 3D gets full too, but One X AT&T just...... Awwwwww any ideas??? 4G LTE is perfectly fine.

What router are you connecting to?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
What radio are you using? If you are rooted and bl unlocked, you could flash the 2 09 radio that is on the devs section. If however you are stock and have no desire to root etc .. you could try restarting your phone, and your router. Also, you could try forgetting the network that you want to connect to, then try joining. I remember having this problem when I got my hox, and tgat did the trick for me.

Is the SSID hidden?
This prevented me from using my home network, and even caused the phone to reboot instantly upon connecting.
Try WPS (I think WiFi protected setup) if it is a newer router. The jist of it is you push a button on your router then select WPS on your one x and it gives you 90 seconds to connect without a password.

Exchange it. Sounds like my issue I had. But mine father trying to connect could not see any networks till I turned wifi on and off.
Restart your router.... Solved it when mine was doing the same.

hey there I/'m living in St. Kitts in the Caribbean.
LIME the network provider upgraded from EDGE to 4g on Friday, but I realise since then my phone is only showing H (3G) and not H+(4G).
i am wondering if this has anything to do with the rom i'm currently running (trickdroid) or not?
I was in the city centre friday night where they had the launch and pretty close to the cell tower so I know distance isn't the issue
Thanks for the help in advance
Most roms don't display the +. Its purely cosmetic. Only roms I know that display it are based on the inspire 3.20 version.
Again its purely cosmetic and does not effect speed. Heck the phone is only capable of 14mbs Max. I would say 3.5 g Max
Thanks for the response I was just wondering. Makes sense with what you are saying. And I just realise something I tried another Rom, it wasn't even loading so had to restor this on and realised that while booting up it went from E to 3G to H. But I don't think I'm getting even 2 mb from this will take a screen shot and post to you.thx again for the response.

Depending on what ROM you're using, I've found Speedtest to be somewhat unreliable for whatever reason. For example, I'm running Sabsa Prime 7.0. When I do a test on wifi, I get 15+mbps down and around 4mbps up with 30 ping. When I run it on 4g, I get 7kbps down and 2mbps up with 150 ping. Obviously my actual 4g speeds are not 7kbps. On ARHD with the same radio the test showed 6-8mbps down and 3.5mbps up with 70 ping.
In summary, unless you feel that your real use speed is really that slow, forget what Speedtest says.
Ok cool got you.
But I can tell it's really slow as well. I will try one of those other rims cause this one iy takes a while to switch to programs etc. And I don't have a lot running in the background. The only thing I've realise though is that I've not yet learned how to bring over my settings ( WiFi and apn etc even my contacts ) when going from one Rom.to the the next.

Actually...
If you edit your build.prop, faster speeds can be obtained.
Also H+ is 4G, but its not like LTE speeds or anywhere close. It is more like a couple mbs above 3G.
Speedtest is fine. Your data icon will sometimes lie to you. No joke. It'll say H+, but in reality it is 3G. All depends on your signal strength.
- hit my thanks button if i helped you -
Thanks, how do I edit my build?
I am not sure what's going on it is.very slow and I am wondering if the Rom is the problem wondering if I should go back to the original 4g Rom that came with the phone

You'll need an app like "Root Explorer". Through the app you navigate to "/system" and long press the "build.prop" and edit. You may encounter an error message with something like "file is in read-only" which then you will have to change the settings to "write only" or something like that to edit which can be done in the explorer app. Once you get that far you can edit the build.prop to your liking. For settings that people have found useful search the forums.

If you're syncing to Google, your wifi passwords, contacts, even wallpaper will automatically restore when logging back into Google after switching ROMs.
Thanks I realise the apps came back bit not sure the WiFi passwords did. I'm really trying to find a Rom for Inspire 4g that
