Hey
I am experiencing the following problem with my new Sensation (EU, unbranded, ROM 1.28.401.1, radio 10.42.9007):
From time to time it suddenly loses its signal and the only way to fix it is to disable and enable the radio (flight mode or testing-menu).
Any ideas how to fix/debug this?
I could get a new SIM card or flash the leaked RUU with the newer radio or get a new unit. How should I continue?

Search "Death Grip" and learn how to hold your phone to avoid this problem.
Stinks, but you can get around it.

It's certainly not the death grip problem I meant! I flashed the leaked RUU yesterday evening, until no the problem did not occur again.
Check the networks.. i select GSM only and it works better...

I will definitely try this later, because I been having this problem for a while now, and it only happens when at home!!! and nowhere else!!!
I'll let you know guys!!! wish me luck guyz, cuz if this dosn't work .. ama take to them chines around the corner, and pray they bring back safe!!! ...
I also have this problem and nothing seems to resolve it.
Its certainly not the death grip issue as it happens when the device is sat on a table and not moved, can change from 3 bars to no signal and back again.
I however dont have to disable the radios though as it just comes back on its own.
I always have mine set to GSM only due to the intermittant 3G in my area so its alos not that either.
This never used to happen to either my magic, Desire or Desire S, or any other phone ive had recently for that matter, very, very annoying.
Upgrade your RUU.
1.35.401.1 has fixed this for me - no sleep problems, WiFi connects a HELL of a lot faster, and temproot still works
(I have (and have had) no touchscreen issues)
I have exactly the same problem as dndxn

Same problem here.
t-mobile US.
Also, it has happend on 2G and 4G.
Hoping for a update soon.
So far flashing the newest leaked RUU fixed it for me. But flashing also included a full wipe, so doing one might also help.
Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, .... it worked!!!!!!!!
I changed the Network setting to GSM only and now I have my network signal back ...!!!! full bars!!!
is there anyway to guide others having the same problem to this thread???
Thanks guys ....
Hey guys, I've had my HTC One S for T-Mobile and ive had it for about 1 week and it has rebooted on me twice so far. not sure why. the first time it was in my pocket and i heard the T-Mobile boot up animation sound go off in my pocket and pulled it out my phone to see it was just booting up for some reason. then today i was going to look at my friendstream widget (on my home screen) and my phone locked up for a second and then rebooted itself. i'm not happy about it since i once owned a g2x which rebooted like crazy. i'm hoping it stops randomly doing this crap but i reported it to HTC since it gave me the option once it rebooted. my HTC one s is rooted with the stock rom with bloatware removed and carry IQ removed. i just wanted to see if i'm the only one having this issue.
It happens to me too :/ sometimes i wake up in the morning and i see the HTC error message. Maybe a software issue?

I had like two reboots, but then I updated the phone and the problems disappeared. Have you updated to the latest firmware ?

i dont think there is an update for the tmobile htc one s.
Two days since I bought it and already rebooted two times when exiting the mail client while network was switching from H to 3G. I upgraded it to the latest firmware OTA just after putting the SIM card into.
My son had a problem with random reboots. After enabling Best Wifi Performance in Wifi, advanced settings, they went away. This is on a TMOUS version. Could be totally unrelated to your issue, but worth a try. I've noticed that the wifi has some weirdness to it, like hanging on to a connection long after it's out of range. I hope there is a software update soon.

yeah i guess here in the US we havent got an ota update that i know of. i kept checking for updates but it said my one s is up to date.
Another reboot this morning. This time I received a txt thru Facebook Messenger. I saw it on my desktop and ear, exactly at the same time, the HTC One S rebooting. This might be app related this time.
My One S specs:
- EU edition
- Stock ROM, 1.78 OTA
- Wifi disabled
Yes my H1S reboots about 3 times a week, or the "Loading ..." window is seens 3 or 4 times a week as well.
one more time... I'm gonna consider switching to another ROM in a very near future.
rebooting on 1.78 stock and other custom roms too
Hi guys, I had this issue with stock rom on 1.78 and previous too, so it is probably a radio issue. If I am connected to my wifi network at home, then I go out, the phone switches to hsdpa (as it should) and then I come back home,the reconnection to the wifi network causes the phone to reboot.
I had this issue on all roms I used, both stock and trickdroid 3.1 / 4.3.
My wifi direct is already disabled, my location is Italy. I have seen also that people on the US T-mobile support webpage are complaining about something very similar, wifi related.
Thanks
I'm on tmous and have had two of these reboots since I got the phone on US release day.
As others have said, mine have only happened when I'm on the very edge of my WiFi coverage. It's like the phone can't decide which network to grab on to and freaks out. I don't have the issue when it's just normally switching from WiFi to data like when I go out and then come home. It only seems to happen when I'm right on the edge of WiFi for a few minutes.
Not a huge deal, since its only happened a couple of times. If I remember when I'm off this week, i'll try to get a logcat because I should be able to reproduce it at the edge of my back yard
that would be great, as it sounds like it is the same issue. I always found tricky to save logcats due to amount of information in them and spotting the exact reason for crashing.
Hello, I am hoping someone can set me straight on the flashing of modems/radios and what is the proper way to do it.
Do they have to be flashed during the rom flash and then never touched until the next rom flash or can they just be flashed any old time?
The reason I ask is because I was booting into CWM and flashing each Modem/Radio one at a time and testing them out. I narrowed it down to one that had the best call quality but after flashing back to it the quality was worse then it was the first time I had flashed that one. Is it possible for a modem to install differently the second time? I am not running any formatting or clearing anything.
Why would the same modem/radio give different call quality on different installs?? Should I only be installing the modems/radios at the beginning when I first flash the rom?
Would like to sort this out as my outgoing call quality is pretty bad. Tested my SIM card in my old Galaxy S on CM9 and it sounded a million times better. My Galaxy S2 LTE is on SKY ICS 4.2F6.
You can flash a new radio/kernel on your phone any time after you've flashed the rom (as roms usually flash a radio/kernal when you flash the base) and it should not have any adverse effects on your phone (unless the kernel/radio is buggy/bad for your phone).
As far as formatting/clearing, I habitually clear my cache whenever I update anything on my phone and I haven't had any issues with deteriorating call quality and the like.
That is strange. My outgoing call quality is so bad compared to my Galaxy S on CM9.
I just flashed my phone to CM9 RC2 and will see how that goes. Now I just have to wait for a friend to give me a hand testing call quality.
It's really strange how I had different results with the same radio but different installs.

I'm actually running CM9 RC2 as well and am having major issues with the radio that gets flashed with it (UCLF6) as I live in a test LTE area. The reception goes to 0 to full every 2 seconds and I never get any phone calls or missed calls when people call me.
CM9 RC2 seems to have an issue with the LTE toggle, Network Mode and "2G only" features. As soon as u turn it on, it auto switches back to the default LTE being on.
I did a little bit of research and found that I would need to flash a "RAT UNLOCKED" radio. My concern is the same as the OP in that I'm a little confused as to the proper method and steps to doing this. Any help is greatly appreciated. I think both me and the OP will benefit.
I've attached a screenshot of my about phone page.
Thanks!
I recall seeing those "RAT Unlocked" radios listed on Mohan's Embryo thread.
It can be seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754473
I have no idea if those radios can be used with CM9 or not but I'm thinking of trying the embryo ROM and seeing how my call quality goes.
My problem is nowhere near as severe as yours. I get decent signal and can receive calls fine. My outgoing audio just sounds horrible and garbled. Who knows, maybe my issues also has something to do with LTE.

That as almost correct. ROMs usually contain a kernel and the /system. They almost never contain a radio. That being said, yes, you can flash a new radio at any time. There are quite a number of radios for the Skyrocket because each ICS leak pretty much had a new one. You should have no issues flashing either a Rogers or AT&T radio on a Skyrocket. From what I've read and seen, different areas of the country do better on different radios. I would personally start with the radio from either the AT&T or Rogers official release and then work backwards from there.

The radios should work the same regardless of the ROM.
okay that sounds promising. to flash a radio do you simply flash the zip over everything on CWM? do u need to clear or format anything? once you flash do you need to change any APN settings or anything? sorry if these questions seem novice but i usually just use the stock radio. fist time doin this
Also: Where can i find and download the official rogers modems?

HMM.. Any idea why I would be experiencing these problems then? Just seems strange that I installed the same radio twice and it had different results on each install. Do you think it could be a phone hardware issue?
Would it matter if my phone is a Rogers and I am running an AT&T radio? Maybe I should try the Rogers radios?
@Ompalompa287
From what I gather... Just flashing the zip in CWM is all you need to do. No settings to change or anything. I have heard of some people wiping cache as well.
I just simply need to know if there is anyway to disable 3g (force to edge) network? I have a at&t Skyrocket running cm9 Chopsticks.

So I just found out my phone has Noise Cancellation for the microphone. Maybe it's the noise cancellation mic that is causing the issues.
Does anyone know how I can disable the noise cancellation to test this theory?

since cwm does not wipe the radio, flash new radio two times, even three times just to make sure it completely overwrites the old one you are replacing

It's definitely not in there. Strange, I wonder why it was removed from SKY ICS.
My new HTC One S randomly disconnects very often. It will have the bars there, show 4G connectivity, but it won't go to any websites, all outgoing calls stay stuck on dialing, and incoming calls do not work.
I'll reboot the phone twice, and it will work. This happens consistently in locations where a Galaxy S 4G and an HTC Sensation have worked flawlessly.
I have read about this issue on the forum for the HTC One X, but not for the S. This is really disappointing. My HTC Sensation dropped wifi often and the bluetooth range was unusable if you put the phone in your pocket and wear a bluetooth. This phone worked on wi-fi great, and the bluetooth was on par with my old Samsung phones, but this is of no use when it can drop service and not even tell me.
Has anyone else had this problem? I got the phone brand new at a dirt cheap steal price. If this is one of those "yeah that will be fixed in a future update" problems I'd like to know so I can dump it on eBay and get something good before its price depreciates.
I haven't seen that as an issue for most people. Esp the way you describe it. Where did you buy it. Maybe a lemon unloaded on you. You could root and see how it goes. LeeDroid/TrickDroid/Axiom good roms.

The One S and all DC-HSPA+ phones have latency issues when you first use the connection after a long period of no data activity. Latency during that time can be upwards of a second as they negotiate from a sleep state back to DC-HSPA+.

I'm talking 10-15 minutes of waiting before rebooting the phone due to no connectivity. I'll try another ROM & rooting and see what happens.
That length of time is not something I have seen posted anywhere before

You don't need Super CID to flash new radio if your HBoot is earlier than .13, just flash thru recovery--ck md5 if provided

So HBOOT 1.09 is good to flash radio? Do I need TWRP or can I flash with CWM
T-MobileUS HTC One S
Yes, .09 ok to flash
I like twrp and you can flash thru recovery. With cwm I would use fastboot. Although fastboot is recommended for all radio flashing.
I have exactly the same problem. I constantly put it in and out of airplane mode to "reset" the radios. If its really bad, I end up rebooting several times. There is another thread that's sort of like this. I'm extremely frustrated with this and have tried 4 or 5 different roms and radios. Nothing seems to be working. Thinking about calling it quits on the one s and coughing up the cash for a Nexus.
I've tried several different ROMs & radios to no avail. Same connectivity problem. I'm on S4 so I have a better selection of ROMs. I tried every radio, not simply the newest radio.
My experience with HTC has been a rocky one. First I had the MyTouch 4G on T-Mobile, which was the slowest phone I've used outside the BlackBerry Storm. I had two separate HTC Sensation 4G phones, which were interesting. Some phones connect to wi-fi networks. These two begrudgingly hung off wi-fi networks with 1 or 2 fingers until the wind blew the wrong way and caused them to fall off. The bluetooth signal on both was abysmal - excellent off a desk, but put the phone in your pocket and static would ensue in a manner no Motorola or Samsung device I've used would. Now, the next natural step, no mobile network connectivity without turning airplane on & off.
I love the way HTC devices feel, I love the way HTC Sense works, but at the end of the day, the issues I encounter are just not for me. I dislike the plasticy fingerprint laden back of a Samsung device, and the less impressive UI, but I need these things to functionally work properly all the time - speed, wireless connectivity, mobile network and all. Reading the forums and finding so many complaints on One X connectivity, combined with my past HTC experience, I have a feeling replacing this with another One S isn't going to solve my problem.
Thank you very much for your suggestions, opinions, and input. I highly appreciate it. Should any of my last ditch efforts result in success, I will happily post precisely what I did to make it work. I am rooting for it because it is such a cool damn phone. If nothing works, I am confident HTC will be just fine without a whiny malcontent like myself as a customer.
Thanks again!

Can you let us know if the new radio you put on fixes the problem? I'm still browsing for a new phone, but if this one works in the meantime, I have an excuse to save myself some hassle.
Hi I wanted to try Cm10 and data kept blinking a on and off. I tried get ril to see if it would help the situation. No joy. I am running 3.33 firmweare and I am s off. I ended up matching the radio with different ril from xda. Result was no data at all. I restored a backup and used get ril to match my current radio and I have signal again. However I would really like to run Cm10. Is there any suggestions to help with this problem. I've never had any data problems before? Can someone suggest a possible fix for this issue? I appreciate your input.
try flashing it again, this happened to me about a week or two ago and appears to be common with AOSP (the reason for this, I have no idea) but yeah if you absolutely need data, just restore a backup for about an hour or two
Here is everything there is to know about this problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1873374
The short version is...there's no permanent fix yet. It will fix itself in a few hours. But it might come back.
This problem is getting much less common on CM10 over the last 6 weeks or so. Prior to that it was a VERY common issue. It could be a combination of other problems in the AOSP framework that cause instability and T Mobile refarming their network nationwide.
Thank you for the answers ! That's good to know! I am Tmobile so yes the incompatibility makes since. I will give it another try and see how it fares. If I still get the issue, I'll just restore my nandroid. Again thank you.

Restoring your nandroid won't fix it. The problem has something to do with how the data network authenticates your device and how that authentication is done with the CM Framework.
The variable (whatever is changing so that this is not occuring 100% of the time for 100% of t mobile users) is on the T Mobile network side. So simply switching back to your nandroid backup won't fix it even though everything was working fine with that backup. Both your nandroid and the updated version of the ROM have the same flaw that can provide that unstable data connection. And whatever T Mobile is doing that is causing that flaw to show will occur on every AOSP rom with an ICS or JB base.
Switching to your nandriod, switching to CM9, AOKP, Opensensation 1 or 2, etc etc etc...none of it will make the problem go away. Your best bet is to turn data off for a few hours and try later. Just ride it out until the network is no longer creating that data instability.
Just for information purposes the developer of the basic CM10 and OpenSensation 2, Bruce, thinks that the problem has something to do with the T Mobile network not being able to differentiate between it's MMS network and it's Data network. Those two operate on the same bands and are very similar, but there's some subtle difference in them so the phone knows the difference between and incoming MMS and an incoming data transmission. Bruce has done some work to try and help that. Some people saw the problem stop cold and other people have seen it greatly reduced. That's not confirmed that that's the issue and the improvement may be coincidental. With T Mobile refarming it's network city by city they may be gradually changing changing the way that's done and inadvertently fixing the problem.
How bout a Sense ROM? I flashed ARHD when I had this problem and had instant data

Thank you both. And thanks for the explanation. I suppose I got lucky that my backup did restore my data after using get ril again it was stronger. I did also hear T-Mobile is having tower problems or something like that. I'm wondering if that had something to do with it also. Maybe I'll give sense a try again. Too bad I was really hoping to give Cm10 a go. But I do need data. Again, thank you for your help!

We cant blame T-Mobile for this issue when we can clearly see it occurring ONLY on a specific handful of Sensation ROMs.
I've gone from a solid data connection on the stock Sense directly to a very unstable blinking data on bruce's CM10/Kang and OpenSensation 2 within minutes. Not a coincidence. All the while, my T-Mobile CM10 Nexus One sat next to me without an issue. Over the next day my gf complained about her Sensation's lack of data and still my Nexus One is fine.
Is being S-ON to blame?
idk, I guess I'll try the Android Revolution HD ROM next.

What build date of Bruce's ROM did you use? This was fixed about 2 months ago for most people.
When you downloaded the ROM, did you get the first one on the list?

I just flashed last weekend. I used the latest builds from http://goo.im/devs/bruce2728
This one: cm-10-20130109-bruce2728-pyramid.zip (data blinking on boot)
Then this one: OpenSensation2-20121123-pyramid.zip (did not fix) (so I followed it with OTA Dec 3 - did not fix)
My Method (coming from Official ICS Sense w/ hboot 1.27 on T-Mobile Sensation 4G):
HTCDev unlocked
left S-ON
flashed latest CWM then did a "wipe data/factory reset"
extracted boot.img from cm-10-20130109-bruce2728-pyramid.zip and flashed it via fastboot (necessary for S-ON)
flashed cm-10-20130109-bruce2728-pyramid.zip via CWM
switched recovery to latest 4EXT with SmartFlash enabled
flashed OpenSensation2-20121123-pyramid.zip over CM10 (no wipe)
