Sprint Coverage Issues

At the moment I am on my third nexus phone first two got returned due to battery and touch screen issues.
Now on this phone phone either gets low signal so all incoming calls go to voicemail or the phone goes into roaming. I tried working with Sprint all I get is runaround instead of fixing the issue with coverage.
Wanted to find out if anyone else had the same issue with service. Phone is running stock GB 2.3.7

I live in s.e. Texas I get crap signalsb but not that bad bit sure where you live but this phone has way better internet and phone signal than my heroc did. Can try some of the ## codes I think buried in these threads are a list of them even a code puts phone into test mode maybe that'll help IDK gl

I tried some codes which Sprint tech support want me to try that only told them that the phone has low signal.
Don't know what else I can do to fix the coverage issues with this phone

I tried many roms,kernels,mods and fw. I didnt have this problem before I rooted my phone. I use ARHD 6.2.1. now. problem still exist.

It is cause you are using the wifi calling it has bugs and drops calls it also all ways runs in the background even when wifi is off I suggest unistalling it via titanium backup or at least turning it off when making calls

I think that didnt install WiFi calling, it happens when receiving call and when try to answer it show like I answered but cant hear anything and after 3-4 seconds sat missed call. One more thing,when I want to deny call, phone keep ring 2 more thimes and than stop. It happen ocasionally. This isnt over wifi,but normal GSM calls.

I have only had those problems with wifi calling and it is included on ARHD and is on by default you will see a lil blue icon in status bar if it is one , otherwise you might have a faulty device or bad reception where you live cause I have not had it or seen this issue about the phone
Sent from my HTC sensation 4g using Tapatalk

It couls also be the sim, try yours in a differnt phone and see if the issue stays with the sim or not

I read that some users have this issue too, but couldt find solution

I have the same problem with ARHD 6.2.1
My workaround is to disable 3G mode. It seems that the phone prefers weak 3g cells over 2g cells with good signal strength.
Install one of the GSM Monitors from market. If your signal strentgh ist -100dBm or more, phone calls get unstable. After switching to 2g mode (Settings - Mobile Network - Network Mode - GSM only) I have -75 - -90dBm now and more available cells than before.
Phone Calls are stable now.
Before that I tried to downgrade to another radio but no luck. I never had this problem with ARHD 3.6.8 - 3.6.13 that I used before.

No, it happens with gsm calls, I turned off 3G and still happens.

You might have a faulty phone or case the antenna in the cover may not be connecting right if you have T-Mobile you send it in for warranty they are pretty good about that up to three times in the first year and its free

Did you guys purchase you handset through a mobile carrier in your region, or purchase it online from another country?
If it's the latter, you may need to look into flashing a more appropriate radio for you region.

Orange UK signal?

I was going to ask in the other sections but i've seen that quite a few people here are on orange uk so thought i'd give it a shot here. Recently my signal has just been going on and off. Some places, the phone just refuses to receive any signal even though i know i get signal in this area. I was thinking about changing the radio but wanted to know if it was only me experiencing the problem. I upgraded to the latest radio long before i had this problem.

Have you set things up with orange so you can use the t mobile cell towers? Since they joined to become 'everything everywhere' or whatever it's called you can use both towers. give orange a call to set it up if it isn't already.
I didn't notice any difference changing radios with network signals.

Mines gone worse since then. Its always connected to orange T-Mobile
I know there's no T-Mobile signal in my house and if I'm on orange (no T-Mobile) it seems to get full signal

I've had no end of signal problems since the merger with t mobile. 3g was a waste of time for most of last year. It did get better from about November though. Perhaps they are doing in your area what they were in mine?
I did also once have a Sim card failure which gave the symptoms you describe. Try giving them a ring and request a new one.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

Thanks. Well right now I'm on reaper and it doesn't connect to orange t-mobile which is good. But if it does continue I guess I'll have to phone them
EDIT:Signal just dropped to zero even though I'm standing in the same place
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

Sounds like a borked sim. I only found out when i arranged for my phone to go back to HTC for repair, bought a cheap phone to keep me going, put the Sim in the phone......no signal.
Try another phone to confirm it.

Anyone have this happen?

So a couple of times my phone won't let me make calls. It tries connect and then does a short beep. I have to do a airplane no airplane mode to get it.to make.calls again.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

It happens to me couple times too ... too bad my 30 days return expired.. Planning to go through warranty center now ... It's kind of annoying because it happens kind of randomly

I have this same issue. They swapped the sim card so I'm going to see if that fixes the problem.

Is it a phone or network problem? On my third phone
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

I just got my sim swapped, and it still happens.. It looks like phone because my phone has full signals while it happens. It usually happens after long charge

I believe it's a software issue. HTC issued a statement regarding the WiFi issue, that until you get the OTA fix, you need to turn WiFi off and on again to deal with the bug. I haven't had the issue with phone calls that you're having, but I have had the phone drop the mobile data connection completely, or sometimes get locked to EDGE. The Airplane off/on trick fixes it, so I suspect it's similar to the WiFi bug.
If you can put up with it for now, it'll surely be fixed with an update before too long.

Good. Just wondering because everything else on this.phone is good. Ty

Just making sure it's not.something.I need to return the phone or not for.

Lost all
I had problems at first just losing data and then finally after much time spent trying things with Rogers I lost all connection. Unable to make calls, no data, no signal. Got new one sent and so far so good for 5 days now.

Never lost data on this one bit had the no calls yesterday. None today. Maybe it will be ok. Someone said it.may be fixed. Just don't want to have to return the phone again.

Is a fix on its way?
I had this happen to me two days ago. The status bar indicated that I had a good connection and I was able to send and receive emails and use the web browser, but I couldn't send/receive texts or phone calls. After a restart, I had two voicemails and a few text messages (from an irritated wife!). I had been trying to make calls and send texts when she was calling and sending texts, so I wasn't just missing notifications.
Any word on whether this I a software or hardware problem? I still have some time before my 30 days is up and I tempted to go back to an iPhone if there is no fix.

I hope HTC releases an OTA soon...

This sounds like a network problem to me. In high traffic areas where cellular towers are overloaded , ATT service literally stops working. My entire trip to NYC I had no working service in Manhattan for this reason, and every professional sporting event I've ever been too the same problem has occured.
The "bars" were always good, but no texts or calls could be placed or received.
This happened on my a777, solstice, HTC aria, and Infuse

Seems like a reasonable explanation, except it has never happened before and was fixed as soon as I restarted the phone.

This happens to me EVERY time I am in an area with no (or really poor) service for an extended period of time, one of my classes doesn't get service because of the location of the building.. I've already gotten a sim swap and had my device swapped, it still does the exact same thing, only way to reconnect is by restarting the phone or turning airplane mode on or off. Hopefully it's not a widespread hardware issue and just a software issue that HTC can fix. Only problem is that AT&T has a history of taking FOREVER to get out an update that a manufacturer releases.
Oh and this never happened on my Xperia X10, even in the same class where I lose service.

Randomly disconnects from cellular network

My One S is randomly dropping all reception on cell.network.
If i put it in Flight mode and then turn Flight mode off again and enter my pin, the phone is reconnected again..
Anyone seen this?

That happens to me also. I'll have 3 bars with 4g then all the sudden I have no service for like 2 minutes. I have no idea if its a Rom issue or network issue or radio issue.

I have also this problem with restart most of the time I have too take out my microchip and put it back in.

I also experienced network signal getting lost for some time / struck on Airplane mode
my very strange experience is ... my mobile screen is not turning on and keeps on vibrating for half an hour

This used to be a huge problem for me, but the recent OTA has resolved it completely...

I can repeat what I told someone else about text issues. I had the signal issue as well, it would constantly jump up and down and turn into an X so here was my reply...

I can tell you how i fixed my issue when something similar was happening to me. I had this issue on my previous phone as well so i figured after getting this phone and it continued it had to be something to do with my account setup. Some kind of glitch. So after getting fed up with Tech support I had my network account manager have all my features and account removed, then added back on like it was a new account. Then I did a factory reset and woila! My network signal is stronger than ever. Texts send instantly! Faster than I have ever seen them send! lol.
