Hi all,
A week ago I bought a brand new Desire S and installed latest CM 7.1 stable following the guide on cyanogemod Desire S Wiki using revolutionary 0.4pre4. Everything was smooth and nice, I flashed ROM and GAPPS and my phone is working absolutely perfectly... but there is one little problem...
I am using Desire to fetch my mails from 2 mailservers using IMAP every 30 mins. But when the phone is switching between network modes i.e. HSDPA -> EDGE or EDGE -> GSM or any other way, I am disconnected from operator network for about 10 seconds until the network mode changes and everything is fine after that, until there is another network mode switch.
This happens for me about 10 times a day, so my phone sometimes appears that It is turned off for people who want to call me. Immediately after connecting to network I get a missed call SMS from my operator.
Interesting thing is, that when I disable email fetching, disable background data transfer and disable network data, the phone works fine without "blackouts".
Can someone help me with this problem? Maybe a radio issue?
Some more info:
ROM: Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 Desire S
Recovery: Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4
HBOOT: 6.98.1002
Kernel: 2.6.35.14-cyanogenmod+ [email protected] #1
Radio: 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M
There is a newer radio-file online.
Maybe it's solving your problem.
I'm using MIUI and never had such problems, but i'm interested in flashing CM, so please report if the problem is gone by flashing newer radio!
Which radio version are you using?
Today I am testing 2G only switch so I am on EDGE data only.
Flashing radios is safe......, but a bad radio flash will instantly brick your phone.
You are using 1.47.401.4 radio, try updating to the 2.10.401.5 one.
Thanks for reply.
Shoud I flash something else with the radio?
I have 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04 downloaded from cmw.22aaf3.com
Another I have is ftom OTA update zip file OTA_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8-1.47.401.4_release_225210fmxlt12djw1sr7y5.zip where is one radio.img in formware.zip file too - version unknown
So Which one to flash?
and if so, which method should I use to flash radio? The Android SDK one or the ZIP + Bootloader one?

Both will work, i'm using method by using bootloader normaly
Strangely I had the same issues as you on Endymion.
Then I updated radio to the latest.
It worked well.
Then I went to CM7. It was fine for a while, but now I'm losing signal with no 3G bars and its not switching automatically to 2G like it should when It has no 3G signal!
EDIT:
After really reading your post, I realise my issue is no way like yours! Yours seems really bad. Update your radio.

Sent from my HTC Desire S
So, here we go with the results
I flashed 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04, md5sum checked OK, update sucess, but phone with no signal...
I flashed 20.48.30.0822U_3822.09.08.20, md5sum checked OK, update sucess, but phone with no signal again...
I flashed 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03 back, md5sum checked OK, update sucess, but phone with no signal again...
... what now ... ?
After each flash wiped cache and Dalvik...
in your telephone-info there is shown the new radio after every flash?
do you have removed the batterycover, because there is integrated the antenna of your device!

No, the cover is at its place where it should be. Somehow I did the trick and I am back online with 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03 on 2G only for now.
I read somwhere in the forum that ENG HBOOT is required for new radios... Are you sure I dont need to flash eng hboot it before new radio ??

in your area 3g is actually available?
may it helps to go outside, to find your net for the first time!
did you set an accesspoint for 3g?
may you have to set automatic settings, rather than 3g/2g-only?!

using same hboot as you, never had problems on flashing radio-files!
yes, in my area there is 3g, when I turn off 2g only switch there is a problem described in my first post, so i am on 2g for now just to keep phone connected to network.
main problem is when i am driving and the phone is switching network modes.
so I give 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04 today another chance, try to flash if again.
but i am woried about stucking on HTC logo after flash :-( and brick it.

i already had the problem for several times, and i also pulled out the battery (you shouldn't do that)!
only had to boot into bootloader, start recovery, wipe all partitions, flash rom and was having fun again with my device
this thread could help you, if really stuck on HTC logo
For your real problem on loosing the signal, did you ever tried out using actual stock rom, or another custom one like MIUI?
i used MIUI from 2010-08 till yesterday, now trying out CM7.1 for some days
I have the same or a very similar problem. I have the stock rom.
I already had 3 different desire s motherboard's and 2 different display's.
The first Desire S i had, with android 2.3.3, had a excellent signal. Due some problems i had, the phone bricked and had to go to HTC to repair.
HTC replaced the motherboard and update the version of the android to 2.3.5 and ever since the signal caption, the signal switch was working very bad.
The phone went to a second repair because of this, new phone, and again with android 2.3.5. The problems persisted.
I also tested with different SIM cards, from different mobile operators.
So, my conclusion is either android 2.3.5 or this new versions of Desire S have problems with signal caption and signal switch.
So as you, i need some help with this issue!

But when I reboot to recovery it will flash the radio again I think.
i hate stock roms, and dont like MIUI design That is why I am using Cyanogen
Anyway if I use 2G only switch, the phone is stable as rock both calls and data transfer.
EDIT: OK, flashed 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04 sucessfully, signal OK, I will see what happens whet metwork mode switches
@Green Hawk:
give us more information about your device please, which radio you're using? Did they flash actual radion also?
@MyroLM:
report if the problem is still there or it's gone with flashing the rom
I am still testing new radio, but looks good Give me some days let you know...
Hi All,
I have a similar problem with the latest CM7.1 nightly builds (Reaper, jorgen2009). I never saw this with older CM7.1 versions, e.g. Nexx version, ICS, MIUI oder Endymion.
I have WLAN on and leave my house. Phone switches to 2G/3G..., so far so good. When I return home, The WLan sign in the status bar appears again, everything seems to be fine, but I have no connection. I get no data via WLan until I swicth WLan off and on again.
Radio is the latest from 2.10.401.5.
Best Regards
Wrapp
Had similar problems, upgrading to the latest radio helped. I got stuck on the HTC screen and I went through flashing RUU's and unlocking bootloaders back and forth... when the only thing that needs to be done is to wipe the cache.
Learned a lot about bootloaders though. But my warranty got void because i did the htcdev unlock... (Sorry for OT)
HI, i'm having serious problem with my sensation . i'm running an android revolution hd gingerbread, using original radio. After flashing some roms , i realized my wifi dont work anymore. Thought it was beacuse of the new rom so re flashed last rom , but my wifi still dont work. Sometimes they turn on trying to search a network but after few sec the turn off again. What shall i do?
silly question but i had the same problem with a new router and it was a mistype of the password (0-o,i-1,i-I) and so on caps can be a problem

I had this same problem , but it has been solved by itself. I couldnt turn on my wifi, then one day it started to work. But when I went to Slovakia ( skiing trip ) one week ago, it stopped working again. After few wipes and re-installs it shew earlier saved networks and one new which i couldnt connect to. I had a lot of ROM's and no one works. And I have some problems with camera focus too. After installing some software i cant get focus on camera.

this is usually due to the wifi module in the kernel not working as it should so my suggestion would be to flash a different kernel (bricked or faux) and it should work again

router works, coz we are using several phones and notebook @home...
I am afraid the worse scenario...burned chip or motherboard.
Or maybe if i get back to S-ON, unroot and restore complete stock...?

The other thing worth considering are the 2 gold pins inside the phone,just above the camera lens.
GENTLY lift them to make a better contact.

I have this problem too. I've been using ViperS 1.1.0 for a few weeks without any wifi problem. Yesterday, the wifi was working like normal then in the evening I flashed HyperNonsense 3.3 just to try it. Didn't like it, so I restored nandroid of my ViperS, then flashed yank555's faux123 kernel v2.52. I only realised wifi is not working today morning. It just shows "Turning On", but nothing happens. Could it be kernel issue? Previously i was using yank555 v1.9 without any issue thoguh.
i also have the same problem with the wi fi turning on for 10 mins then it shows error
mine came with the initial ics ota update a very common problem i see on the net not only wifi but bluue tooth also not work
i installed the latest ota a week or so ago which cured a few bugs but still no wifi or bluetooth
so.... i did jb s offf , root etc installed CM9 this fixed the blue tooth and made the screen move reactive and smooth this is one cool ROM BUT still no wifi
any and all suggestions welcome but please consider i am a noob http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/confused.gif and may need a few signposts
thanks in advance

I honestly don´t know, i thought, wifi is (almost)only kernel related, but now i see, that it is not :/ It is almost exactly my problem, i was using ViperS and changed kernel...but it didn´t suit me, so i restored the previous one...than i woke up and wifi is gone i cant solve it for now, i don´t have any freetime at this moment for making full stock condition.
i have tested stock rom with stock kernel, with some other HBOOT but still the same.

Your wifi stops working through an official update? You should claim it! it is not your fault...for me, everything works, except thing about wifi like tethering etc., thats a serious problem, even reflasing the whole phone (rom, radio, hboot, kernel) doesn't help :/
I had Xperia Arc before Sensation XE and reflash always helps, no matter what happens.

All I had to do was pull that file out from the directory and turn on wifi and *poof* it worked again. When I turned wifi on it created a new file and everything has been great so far this afternoon.
In case anyone wants to give it a shot who is having wifi issues you can find the wpa_supplicant.conf file in /data/misc/wifi/ directory on your phone. Simply cut/rename the file and put it somewhere else. If you have wifi passwords you want to save, you can open the original file using a text editor and copy the settings over to the new file.
I believe the cause of my issue was actually Titanium Backup. Looking at the last time it backed up my wifi settings was back when I wasn't running ICS yet. Yesterday I did restore an app using it and must have accidentally restored that old backup. Their formats are different from Gingerbread to ICS apparently and it was causing errors.
i found this on another post dont know if it will help but it could be the problem with the ota update from gb to ics
now the silly noob question how do you access the directory ????http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/icons/advanced/sign.png
i got into the directory but it doesnt seem to work in another thread someone got it to work with a virtuous rom
ill try that on thr weekend
enjoy your vacation
hmmm thats iteresting, but if you do full-wipe and flash some rom and kernel, these files are rewriten...but because i am curious i tried it and!!! it is not working for me :-/
And how to get into this directory?Simply... download dome file manager from Play Market(i lika Total Commander), but you can use whatever you like, set in options "root function everywhere" and allow superuser. than you can go in any directory and read/write/change
EDIT: ou, now a see whole post, ignore my instruction i am mega-sleepy

I ´ve flashes my boot.img as a solution people says works, reflash the ROM with and withour any wipe,...
Thanks all

If your wifi manager shows the network for a couple of seconds and then disapears use wifixmanager. Its an apk which should fix that problem upon installing the fix but requires root. If the wifi signal doesnt catch at all flash a different kernel probably sebastians kernel and it should start working. The last resort is to use another rom. I had a problem where the wifi wouldnt catch at all so using lightning 2.0 rom with sense 4.0 now with sebastian kernel. works like a charm

In vipers there's a new 'force wifi n' in viper settings. Did you try enabling that one?

Hi, what is the exact problem?
Can you enable the wifi?
Can you see any networks?
Its weird ....
Most of the time (98%) it says "wifi error"..... or "wifi connecting"... but nothing ever happens (No connection , No wifi networks)
Once i woke up in the morning .... i tried to turn on wifi ... and it connected for about 5 min ... and then "wifi error"..... or "wifi connecting".
It's been like this for about a month....
The weirdest thing happened two days ago.... the phone fell down, (thank god i had a jelly case on) ... after a while the wifi was ok .... for about 20 min ... connected to wifi network .. downloaded apps.... went on facebook .... and then it started going (ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF) really fast...
I RESTARTED the phone ... an then (ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF) really fast... AGAIN ...
After 1-2 reboots.... i got the classic "wifi error"..... or "wifi connecting".

Are you sure that the problem isn't coming from your router?
if you have data plan on your phone (gprs or 3g) download getril from playstore,maybe your baseband is not matching well..just try is free...
I don't think its the router.... cause ive tried connecting to various routers .... friends, hotspots etc.... its a phone think for sure.
Thank you ... i will give it a try and get back to u ...
ANY IDEAS... are welcome... !!!
Thanks again.

I haven't played with my Sensation in a while, but I have heard that the HTC phones have a tendency to get the wifi wire "loose." It might be a hardware issue - there are instructions for going in and reconnecting the wire to make the wifi antenna more "secure" - maybe attempt that?
You were right....
The Baseband and RIL didn;t match .... now they do ... thanks to getril... BUT PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. !!!!
Thanks... for the reply.!!!!
Any links on this antenna issue... that i can use...
ALSO ...
DOES ANYONE KNOWS ANY RADIOS OR KERNELS .... FOR MY CURRENT CONFIGURATION !!! (VIPER S 1.5.2)
Thank you ..
The Sensation has golden pins that connect to the back cover in order to receive signal, be it WiFi or mobile signal. Maybe the pins for WiFi aren't touching the golden parts on the inside of the back cover, causing the same effect to signal strength that taking off the back cover results in.
wifi issue with firmware

got a sensation (vodafone) with stock everything. did unlock and s-off and it installed revolutionary hboot. flash latest firmware 3.33 universal and all hell broke loose, no wifi on any rom, kernel or any boot.img i tried flashing. stress i tell you!!!. after days of agony i tried going back to 3.32 firmware universal and it worked. so avoid the 3.33 firmware, KILLS wifi!!!
I am back in 3.32 for about 2 days now because i read about this possibility of wifi error on 3.33 .....
I am running the Viper S 1.5.2 wich as it says works with 3.33 but i have no probs with 3.32 at the moment... EXCEPT THE CLASSIC wifi error...
Maybe i should flash a 3.32 cpmatible ROM ... just to make sure ~!!!???
Which rom do you Use... and which 3.32 ??
Can you provide me with names or links ...
THANK YOU ..

Any ICS rom should be compatible with 3.32. Firmware. However, I doubt it's a 3.33 issue. I've been running 3.33 for quite some time now and never had ANY Wi-Fi problems.. but it's worth a try . I hope you get your issue fixed! Check the rom before you install and it should tell you if it requires 3.32 or 3.33. Hope this helps. Best of luck.

I got same issue with WiFi works and then loses connection . Can't download any big files like roms. I'm on 3.33 firmware and running arhd with anthrax kernel . Gonna try 3.32 firm wen I get home . Oh it happens on all roms and kernels . Must hardware related or firmware related . Also notice some black spots where the WiFi and data pins touch might try cleaning those and see if it helps

Go into your WiFi Router Settings and switch the Channel from Automatic to Channel 11.
