Hey guys I have an T-Mobile HTC Sensation 4G, I've unlocked it and now i am using AT&T. Currently i have problems with my signal being cut out or extremely weak when i'm in my house, and in some areas. Sometime my 3G Data doesnt work and it wont load facebook or any website on the browser. I have tried many Roms and they are mostly the same problem with signal. Sorry i'm still a noob about this stuff.
Any idea how to fix this? Thanks in advance
I dont know if this will help but it will help you change signals. Press *#*#4636#*#* you will see a menu come up. Scroll down to see what you signal is locked on then you can press and another menu will come up with different signal options. You can choose the option you want, then scroll down to press refresh. A series of numbers will come up on line and your good to go. I use this method to lock on to my H signal so it does not switch. Like I said, not sure if it will work in your case but its worth a try! Good luck and I do hope this helps !

Sure, have a look a this thread.
Best advice, read, read, read and understand what you read. Flashing a Radio can brick your phone, but when done correctly it's practically failsafe.

Hi i just notice that on my. Mytouch 4g when u go to settings then wireless network then turn wifi on and u go to the other setting to select which network u want. When u get there click on ur menu button then hit advance then make sure wifi performance is checked on. The phone stock does not havr it checked on. Thought this would help if u use wifi. I just noticed it right now lol

Does anyone know exactly what this does after enabling?
It probably enables "mimo" or "afterburner". Serious, look them up.
If you don't need it, then you may be able to conserve power.
yeah i just noticed this yesterday when i was on wifi at my house. but it will give u the best performance using wifi. but i saw some videos going against the iphone 4 and evo 4g and they always use wifi so i left a comment letting them know to make sure that is turned on so it would be a fair match up even though the mytouch 4g beat the iphone 4 and evo at pretty much everything lol.
True mimo? No way? Do we have true aggressive AP bonding aswell?
I would **** my self

I don't know if that's what it is. Mimo is all I can think of that it might enable.
Like in a school or corporate setting with multiple ap for the same network... laptops will seamlessly transition to the strongest ap... I know my g1 did not, never tried with n1 or this mt4g

Totally did not know that. Probably will fix my wifi dropping in and out. Nice find, I never would have thought!

Hey guys, my name is Steve I am a new member to XDA developers and I have the T-mobile HTC Sensation 4G, Android Version: 2.3.5, HTC Sense Version: 3.5, and i also put a ROM on it, the Digitalized_0.7, Unlocked. My current service provider is AT&T I only have 3G network with them now, so ever since I got the HTC Sensation after I rooted and unlocked the signal was poor, usually I get 2 maybe 3 bars Max. So do you guys have any idea how to fix this problem? If you do please let me know or give me info on how to fix.
Thanks,
Steve
I would suggest a different radio. There is a thread above yours about radios. Go check it out.

I Installed the new one and my phone keeps on soft rebooting itself after a few minutes. Don't know whats going on but, I guess i'll have to try them all??
Ok, after asking on various Rom threads to no avail I'm making a topic about it seeing as I'm not alone on this one...
I seem to have lost all cellular data. When I turn on mobile data I keep getting ' connection failed due to incorrect apn settings'
I have flashed different roms, re flashed current viper Rom, factory reset, full wiped, reset apn to default settings, even got a new sim from my service provider. My apn settings are correct, as have been confirmed by my service provider, I've updated radio and firmware...and still no mobile data.
Does anyone have the faintest idea what's going on?
Thanks guys.

Hi,
Have you tried deleting ALL your APN settings,rebooting,then,re-installing them?
Just tried your suggestion malybru, unfortunately it hasn't made any difference
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
I'm running viper too and when I upgraded to recommended radio this happened to me. I lost all data connection ! To restore my data I used one of the five(I believe it's 5) generic ics radio and matching ril. I got lucky first one I tried worked for me! I'm not exactly sure of your situation but it sounds very similar to what happened to me... You might want to try the generic ics radio with matching ril.it restored my data right away. You will have to do some searching to find it. But it's there. This just happened to me last week. I really hope this helps you! It worked for me... Best of luck.

Realsis, I have flashed all the available radio and ril combinations and still no luck. I have full signal and can make and receive calls no problem, sms too, just no data :what:

this problem seems similar to the problem i faced recently ..i would have complete signal ..but no data
in my case ..if i change the network mode to GSM only ..i used to get Edge
the thing which caused this problem in my case is... loose sim ..yes the sim is loose ..and i kept a paper on top of sim to make it fit tight ...and voila problem solved ...just try this ..it might work
:fingers-crossed:
also check in phone testing that you are st to WCDMA preferred
from key pad *#*#4636#*#* phone settings - look for the only drop down box - hit it choose WCMDA preffered then home
I even lock on wdcma only by pressing *#*#4636#*#* and go to phone information press your current channel and another menu will come up, choose your desired channel from there then press refresh. My device kept going to edge sand it drove me crazy so I locked on wdcma only
And had no problem ever since. I now stay on H. I'm sure it depends on your area also but I've never lost signal doing it that way.

Tried all the above, still no data. Thanks for the suggestions so far guys

What carrier are you on? There are APN settings that maybe incorrect or just got corrupted when flashing a rom.

Wipe it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app
Have you tried using a different Rom? Can you get into your boot loader? If so perhaps try wiping and reinstalling a new Rom if problem persists try another radio and ril. I lost data connection once from flashing a recommended radio for a certain Rom, I restored my connection by finding a generic ICS radio/ril file. I first flashed radio, then matching ril and my data connection returned. You can give this a try before giving up. Use the generic ICS radio /ril combo as they are more apt to work easily. Sometimes it takes trying a few to get the connection correct for your area. I really hope this works for you! It worked for me when my data connection was wiped. I'm hoping it's a simple fix like this. If this does not work the problem MUST be internal. But do give it a try! It very well could work. I wish you the best! Also when getting radio don't forget the ril. Best wishes! Hoping this works for you!

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
