signal cuts in and out - HTC Sensation

i just flashed cm9 on my sensation and the signal keeps cuting in and out i tryed to mess with the network settings but i still dont get anything and i reflashed still samething
what should i do?

Okay a few things first...
When you say the signal cuts out...what signal do you mean? Cell, mobile data, or wifi? (Each has its own fixes)
Second, how long have you had the problem and did it start as soon as you first booted cm9? If it has just been a few hours and it worked on cm9 at one point, it could just be a network issue that is out of your hands.

Have you tried a different radio or ril? It might help.

Known issue in AOSP builds, wipe cache and dalvik-cache

Check your APN's.
If you have 2 or 3 to choose from, delete all but the one you actually need. You are on t mobile so assuming you do a normal monthly billing plan with a contract the correct apn is the one called t mobile-us. You may see one for simple mobile and something else too.
AOSP builds sometimes install multiple apn's at initial set up. Its usually not a problem for 98% of users as you are supposed to be able to pick 1 and have the others be ignored, but sometimes it doesnt ignore the 2 that you arent supposed to use and tries to connect to all three. This may not be what is causing your problem, but its worth a shot.
2 variations on this......
In one version your data will connect for a second then drop for 2 seconds and repeat indefinitely. That is when the phone is trying to use all the apn's.
In the other version your data doesnt work at all. This could be because you are locked into the wrong apn or the correct one had been corrupted/altered. If you have never messed with your apns this is less likely.

T-Mobile Data Connection Problems?

I recently upgraded my phone to the new ICS software, I flashed the Virtuous Inquisition 2.1.0 and then 3.0.0 they both worked fantastically but when I turned my phone on after being on standby it would have a data connection but it wouldn't communicate with anything.
So getting fed up with that I flashed the update given by InsertCoin ICS and then flashed the ROM.
It is now doing the same thing again?
It's very finicky as to when it works and when it won't. But when it works it works well?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

same problem, it works, but not well, it used to go from 4g or H to 2g, now it goes to 3g and hangs. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Same here. Data seems really buggy on all the ics builds I have used for my tmo sensation. Not sure if it is firmware or Rom problems.

+1 I think I've had this problem with every android phone I ever had. I wish there was an option to just leave the data on at all times like home internet. I hate that it has to search for signal and connect every time I click something because it always hangs. Yea 4G is fast but if it has to dial up the internet every time I use it whats the point? The only fix I know for hanging internet is to toggle airplane mode. Which is some BS in IMHO.
Is there a way to disable 3g so it only bounces 4g to 2g?

I flashed the virtuous firmware update and formatted all partitions except for the SD card, and its been working for the last week very consistantly.
To my knowledge there is no way to turn on and off searching for 3g and only switch between 4g and 2g. Because I believe Tmobile's. 4g is just faster 3g? Idk.

[Q] Serious WiFi problem with AT&T 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.
Sounds like you typed in the wrong password.

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.

No cellular data

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

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.

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.

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!

[Q] Network upgraded to 4G but I only get H

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
Has the correct weather location showing at least thanks
