[Q] Help with xt862 on at&t poor\no signal, reboots - General Questions and Answers

Hello, this is my first post so be gentile.
I play for the Back Alley Barbers, and so being on the road all the time i really rely on my phone.
Here is what i have done so far:
Flashed stock Rom V.906
Rooted device (xt862)
Flashed xt883 radio.img
pushed the new modded-hybrid-xt862-xt860 build.prop
Phone specs:
Sys ver.57.1.60.xt883.chinaTelecom.en.CN
android Ver. 2.3.4
baseband Ver. n_16.18.16s
Kernel Ver. [email protected]#1
Build # SLNCT-57.1.60
Now my problem is this. I can start my phone up and everything works fine.
Boot is good all that. I start of in 3G fair amount of bars.
Although sometimes in the top right corner it will flash the sim card with the exclamation point on it.
then i get a error message.
Once i push the Force close button. The bars come back and the pone is back to normal.
However this will happen a few times, and sometime it wont get the bars back.
And the reboot process will happen 3 or 4 times. with no bars to speak of.
So if anyone can give me tips or hints on what to do. Or maybe send a hack or update my way would be awesome. I'll make sure i get you some free swag! I mean come on who doesn't want killer free s&%t from a kick ass band?!
I will be feverishly checking this for replies. Thanks in advance!

[Q] HTC sensation "wi-fi" error . Can not turn wi-fi on.

Hello,
As soon as I tap the wi-fi icon, it turns to an "error" state.
I ve seen some threads here, but could not be sure about the resolution. To give idea let me sum it up. My device has been brought from US and I am in europe. İt is alreasy ship s-off.
android version : 2.3.4
software number : android revolution HD 3.6.0. by mike1986
kernel version : 2.6.35.14-Sensation-faux123-v0.1.8+
baseband version : 10.42.9007.00p .....

basilcallly tells to apply a signed ROM . But can you please advise which ROM would solve my wi-fi issue. and how to apply that?
Thanks in advance
I also had similar issue when I flashed the original recovery to remove the rooting and clock work mod...
Now if u have the original recovery installed...flash the OTA updates through it and if you don't have the OTA you need to flash the original ROM
After the flashing ur wifi will work normal
hello,
actually I am so new to the stuf. I havent applied any updates to the device, but I guesss it has been s-off ed and applied a different ROM before it has been sold to my friend in USA. Now, which exact ROM would you suggest me to flash and actually where I can find it and read the how to ?.
Thanks
after stock and root i was on Revolution 3.6.1 and now i am using S3N5EaY v 1.4.0 -> agree .. its very smooth - fast and looks great. but still the most important thing is : battery life.. so before i had to charge 2 times a day on hard-use.
theres no need anymore at the moment ;-)
try out by yaself..

Ello m8,
It appears your in the same boat as me, i have the wifi error too, it doesn't even turn on to be able to see networks, let alone connect to them so it's quite horrible.
What i've done:
Flashed pretty much every rom i possibly could. (old ones, new ones, no effect)
Changed the recovery to 4ext (which works great but didn't help)
Changed kernels (a lot)
Changed Radios and RIL files (a lot)
Flashed an official RUU (no effect at all)
Went back to S-ON as described in the tutorial on the main xda sensation guide, then S-OFF'd again.
I'm now back on P3D v 8 and it's running lovely but alas, still no wifi.
I've changed the back cover (the yellow connectors at the top have something to do with the wifi) Don't mess around with these as you may break something, changing the case had no effect, apparently the wifi still connects without the back cover on the phone.
I am literally at my wits end with this and i got my phone for free from my work and i was only supposed to have had it for a while (4 months) so if i say it's broke, they may take it back and i've lost the phone completely, if that wasn't the case then i would have sent it back after i'd tried everything software wise i could think of.
I'm not saying that you are in the same situation exactly but if you are then it looks bleak and i would say anything next to removing the wifi chip and replacing it would mean the wifi will never work, plus tutorials for replacing the wifi on a sensation are scarce to say the least (torque screwdrivers at the ready)
If i get it working i'll let you know how, please do the same if you get any joy.
Oh i almost forgot, another thread on another site they mention using an app called wefi, i didn't have any luck but you might.
Good luck matey Hope you have more than i did.
Hi,
I am having the same issue.
Have been running android revolution HD 3.6.5. by mike1986 and previous versions of it (2, 3) and no issues with the WiFi, as one day it just started (yesterday to be precise). I did not install anything or played with settings that could mess with the wi-fi. One day ago was working ok and the next not.
Tried the Wefi app but it did not help either.
feeling hopeless...

Looks like this error is more common than it would first have appeared, read my post a few up for what i've tried, i even feel like dropping it if it's something inside so as to knock it back into place, but i haven't yet Lol that's desperation.
I've got an appointment with HTC soon and i'm getting it changed, if anyone gets this sorted then let me know as i'd rather keep my phone.

Hi,
I also tried all you tried and no results.
Changed the case with a friends phone but did not help either.
After a lot of reading through the forums did a logcat to see what the hack the phone is saying about this error and it seems it cannot load the driver.
If it helps smb to go deeper can post it.
Gave a thought or two about knocking it against the wall or throw it from the window but after-all, i think i can live for some time without wifi, my GPRS speed is not bad and maybe soon will be having 3G and during work time can use internet pass-through.
Worst case scenario, will sell it and get EDGE the new quad-core monster HTC will be releasing next year Q1 or early Q2.

Dude I got the same problem and I did the same procedure so far but same results as well.
I am just wondering if you got any better results for this issue.
Thanks
Same problem, bad results...
I had the same problem. Both my Bluetooth and WiFi would get stuck on "turning on" but never did, I flashed so many ROMs and Kernels, Tried RUU's from Europe,Asia, and USA and nothing worked. SO I CALLED HTC...thankfully I was still under warranty (It's a 12 month warranty) and shipped my phone away after flashing the latest official T-Mobile RUU, Un-Rooting, and going back to S-ON. It's been a week...I called and they said THE MOTHERBOARD needed to be replaced, which I think is the "default fix" if they can't solve the issue. So hopefully in a week I'll have my phone back...Best of Luck...don't mean to be a Debby Downer but I tried EVERYTHING. Give em a call, it won't hurt to try.

[Q] Signal Indicator and Signal Not in Sync

I've been running Valhalla v1.3.2 since it was released (about 13 days). About 5 days ago I started having issues with reception. I tried different modems from the modem thread and that didn't work. So I tried reflashing the ROM and that also didn't work. I checked the check sums after downloading the ROM, so I know I got a good file.
As I mentioned, these issues are new in the last 5 days, reception was great a week ago.
What I've noticed in the last couple days are two things.
1. The signal indicator on the top of the phone doesn't match up with actual signal. In the one attached screenshot you can see it indicating 3 bars of service, but no carrier. The other screenshot shows 2 bars and no carrier. I've also been driving and had dropped calls while indicating 4 bars service. I work 30 miles from home, so this isn't an issue with a single tower.
2. The ROM has the signal indicators themed green, although, as you can see, sometimes when I'm having issues they go back to gray.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm basically relying on wifi calling at this point.
Thank you,
Ryan
Maybe verify with T-Mobile that they're not having issues, also. We had a problem here for over a day where we had bars but couldn't place calls, calls dropped, etc, and it was occurring all over the city.
Not sure if it'll make a difference, but maybe make sure your SIM card is clean & snug, possibly even replace the SIM if necessary.
Good luck; I'm curious what the issue is.
The signal indicator going from grey to green is a Gingerbread feature, not a bug. It indicates if the signal is "locked on" or not. My friend has a Nexus S and it does the same thing.
It's difficult to say if your signal problem is the phone or something in your area. I get the same issue when I'm at work but I know for a fact it's because the tower is far and the building blocks a lot of signal for all phones regardless of carrier. It sounds like a true weak signal though, could be caused by the tower having issues or some interference.

Thank you for the suggestion, but I don't think the green/gray is working as designed. With the Valhalla rom the OP specifically mentioned in one version he'd forgotten to theme the signal indicator. Likewise, sometimes when I can make calls it's green, sometimes it's gray, so it doesn't seem to be specific to signal status.
I called t-mobile customer care yesterday and they told me to go to the store and get an new SIM card as mine was outdated. I did that today and am still having the same issues. I'm thinking of ODINing back to stock KD1 to see how things go.
Thoughts?

I was really hoping the SIM card would work out for you. Going back to KD1 isn't a bad test to see if the problem goes away. Keep me posted, I'm curious if it makes a difference. If so, maybe shoot for KG4 as it was the first GB ROM to come with the boot loaders & see if the phone still acts normal.
I get the same grey / white bars when the phone first boots, and occasionally during normal operation. It usually lasts for 5 to 10 seconds and doesn't seem to affect signal quality at all.
Green means its synced with Google. Grey means its not.

I experienced similar issues, for me when the bars were gray I had no data. Facebook wouldn't connect and my widgets weren't able to update. I was still texting and receiving MMS fine. I hardly make calls so not certain if those were ever effected. I still get this happening to me maybe once a day but I simply throw on Airplane mode then turn it right off and my data is once again flowing.
I called TMobile again and they asked me to uninstall all my apps while I was on the phone with them to make sure nothing there was interfering. I didn't have time to do that at the moment, so I told them I'd call back. In the interest of getting everything bone stock, I figured I'd ODIN the stock KD1. However, when I look at the bible thread all I can find is a deodexed KD1 with root. I can't seem to find the true stock KD1 rom. Where can I get that?
Thanks again,
Ryan

You basically set the preset to SGH-T959V, scroll back up to the Input section, and click send. It downloads the stock ROM.
Good luck!

I downloaded that application but received the message "No firmware info retrieved for given data." I tried searching again and didn't find anything.
Anyone else have a link?
edit: the SGH-T959 is listed as being supported on that thread, but not the SGH-T959V .
just go to samfirmware.com and download the stock kd1 file, you'll have to sign up so you can download it but its free
After a few more go arounds, the decision is that my phone is dead. So I'm getting a G2x in it's place.
I'll miss the SGS4g community here. Valhalla was great as was Black Ice and ICBINB.

[Q] Flashing Triangle after repair from Samsung.

First off, thanks for xda. Favorite place for Android information. Droid charge is my 4th android phone and my knowledge of these phones isnt the greatest. Most I do is root and rom thanks to your guides.
Well anyways I just got my phone back from samsung after they repaired my Charge. It was in a boot loop, tried using CWR to install other roms but always stuck at samsung screen. Well I sent it in after unrooting and putting the stock rom back on. Here is what samsung said they did.
11/10/2011 6:20 PM-Melvin Garcia: The unit has left the technician. SOLUTION: Replaced PBA - PRL Updated - S/W Updated - Passed All

SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD
PASSED RADIATION TEST
PASSED FINAL TEST
Well phone is working fine except the flashing triangle icon was on it, even with the stock factory rom. I romed humble 5.0 and the icon is still there. After research it appears its that I'm roaming, which im not. Same place I always lived. So I figured something maybe is wrong with my SIM card, so i took my girlfriend's Thunderbolt and swapped SIMs to test. My Charge still showed that icon while the Thunderbolt was fine. Is there any solution to this icon? Its rather annoying, a message pops up when doing certain things warning me that I am roaming and I should be careful of additional fees.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I randomly get this while 2 other charges that I'm next to don't.
Sent from my Gummy Charged GBE 2.1 using XDA App
It is 100% of the time though.
this may be late but I have the same issue. I sent it in again to fix this issue and it still came back with the blinking roaming triangle. Anyone that has had this ever had the issue resolved?

Weird Issue Call Drop using custom ROMS In the Middle of Conversation

I have the strangest issue. I get disconnected from calls in the middle of conversation if I'm using any of these main custom ROMs.
Blaz3r
CyanogenMod 10
Blaze Tweaked ICS 2.2
But If I'm using a stock ICS ROM or "Android ICS 4.0.4 UVLH5 (Posted by tthaz777)" everything is very stable and no disconnects.
I have full bar with all the ROMs and get perfect data speed and everything else works fine. I'm using the same exact apps on the ROMs as I do on the stock, so I don't think it's related to a particular app. It seems as if TMobile scans the sessions at their network level and disconnects the call because my connection is not providing some information/call data they need. The disconnect can happen as fast as a few seconds or after a 10 minutes or so, just random.
Is anyone else experiencing this ?
I'm currently running below and everything is stable with no drop calls. Just can't figure out why this happens when install any other ROM. and Yes I always to do a full wipe before install.
Android ICS 4.0.4 UVLH5 (Posted by tthaz777) with merwin's scorched-kernel-t769-ics v1.0.29
Well the 4.0.4 thazz build should be pretty stable as its essentially stock. That being said my wife (who is INCREDIBLY picky on how her phone functions... I've yet to get her to try something not TW-based) has been using Tweaked since before it was even posted and uses her phone as a phone constantly (... lot's of out-of-state sisters that she's always yapping with) and has yet to report an issue. I am unclear why you would be having these issues with the particular specificity you are experiencing... especially if kernels are remaining consistent across TW-based builds anyway. Without me being able to recreate it on my end or a logcat taken during the premature disconnect on your end I'm at a loss. If nothing else, at least you found something that works for you, so I suppose it a could be worse.
Sorry for the troubles.
Not all stock apps or play store apps work with 4.1, I had the same problem when I let my battery app manage my data. It would wait to connect sometimes up to 20-30 secs later after waking to make a call. Check all your apps your using for compatibility, and when you wake your phone give it a sec before calling out. If your in a bad area the alternating of edge/3g/HSDPA+ doesn't help either. I stopped allowing my battery app data control and that solved 90% of my issues, sometimes it still does it but only when I'm in the boonies.

LOL I am using T-Mobile service with this device, so if that's the case for you I would expect a few drops from time to time
On a serious note, drops can happen with full bars for a variety of reasons. Tower is overloaded (signal shows strong but can't connect/gets dropped), person you have called drops you (calling someone in NY that has AT&T? ), bad/faulty sim card (free to get checked and replaced), etc. No cell phone/ROM is drop call immune, even stock (and yes even those people using Verizon). FWIW, I haven't dropped a single call in over a month using Thomas' PA and Tweaked. That's pretty good considering that's including the holidays and I didn't go home this year.
Thanks for the replies guys. What drives me crazy is that I have absolutely no dropped calls when using the stock ICS ROM, but as soon as I load any of the ICS ROMs mentioned the voice call gets disconnected periodically. Same Location, Same Apps, Same Calling Number, nothing changes except the ROM.
I'm fairly technical and good at troubleshooting but not an expert in reading the Android Logcat and don't know what to look for in the log. I have loaded the UVLH5 radio after flashing the the custom ROMs to see if that might be the cause but same thing.... I wondering if I need to try an older Radio...
Like I said all is running great with Android ICS 4.0.4 UVLH5 (by tthaz777) + merwin's scorched-kernel-t769-ics v1.0.29 OC to 1728 but not knowing what's causing the drops is just driving me crazy....
To test I just load the ROM and then call one of the free news numbers (ABC News etc 650-293-9114) and put the phone on speakerphone, and yes I have tried varies other numbers... JUST WEIRD
Try finding an app of the app store to make logging easier like logcat or something. Then run the app and make a call. If it doesnt disconnect, restart the log. When it does disconnect, end the log and copy+paste it here. That is the only real way to find out whats up.
So the problem started again this AM and it's been fine since I flashed Android ICS 4.0.4 UVLH5 (by tthaz777). I hear the hang up tone and calls would just disconnect in the middle of conversation with perfect signal strength. Nothing new was added to the phone, so only way to fix it was to reflash it again from a nan backup.
This is driving me crazy. Attached is a short logcat from right before the call dropped, could one of you experts check it out and tell me if you see anything strange going on....
Thanks

any chance you can put that on pastebin instead of a pdf? just post a link to it. It could be helpful to a dev as I see that some info is spread out to different pages and is cut off.
Also did you use an existing sim from a previous phone when getting this phone or did you get a brand new sim? I know various issues arise when using an old sim with this phone. My old sim had issues and wouldn't connect to wifi calling and it was only 10 months old.

Here's the pastebin link. Thanks

When I initially had the issue I ordered a new sim hoping it would resolved it and that didn't help, so I flashed ICS 4.0.4 UVLH5 (by tthaz777) which is pretty much the stock with bloatware removed and that resolved the problem and not a single dropped call for a month and it just started again. It's so weird as if Mobile is looking for something in the connection/session and forces a disconnect.

Ordering a new sim doesn't mean getting a compatible sim. Have you taken the phone to a Tmo store and had someone check it out? They could've sent you another partially compatible sim for it. If I knew more about reading the logs I would love to help you out....

[Q] Having problems with 4.3 on a rooted sg3

I try to keep up with latest os, but 4.3 has me baffled. The first time I tried to install 4.3 was on Jellybam 10.2. I followed the instructions to the tee, but it didn't work. All 4.3 roms I've loaded I've never had a signal. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Now that all of the 4.3 roms have the custom recovery already on the rom, it still doesn't work. I have no signal. I thought about unrooting my sg3 and starting over, but that is a pain. So I'm basically stuck with 4.2.2. If anyone has anything to say about my problem please do so. Thanks

I thought about unrooting my sg3 and starting over, but that is a pain. So I'm basically stuck with 4.2.2. If anyone has anything to say about my problem please do so. Thanks

I'll second that. Was running cleanrom 7.0, thought I'd fool around with 4.3 Flashed a couple of different ROMS, and none worked. Restored my backup of Cleanrom, and still no signal. It shows 4 bars, can receive an occasional text, but trying to text or make a call the signal drops away. Help!

when you flash, co you clean flash? and what recovery are you using? This info would help in getting your questions answered.
i've been running Mastamoon's unofficial 10.2 (Android 4.3) nightlies (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2385652), and regularly flash back and forth between TW Roms as well and have never had any real data problems. sure, drops data every once in a great while, but Mastamoon puts a lot of work into cleaning up issues.
one thing: IF you flash, and you don't have data, did you wait more than a couple of minutes? Sometimes it takes a while on first flashes. Also, did you check what your status said? (menu >system settings >about phone >status? Also, check to insure your mobile network is set up correctly (menu >system settings >more > mobile network settings) and check your CDMA subscription is set to RUIM/SIM and NOT NV, and network mode is set to LTE/CDMA/EvDo sometimes during a bad flash, these can get hosed up.
like i said, i run Masta's unofficial version, and go in and out of data areas (no data in the subway tunnels) and it always goes right back.
give that a try, and if still having problems, add more information befor just saying "i don't get any data with any 4.3 rom

Good afternoon, and thanks for your help.
I wish I could give you more information, but I broke one of my cardinal rules about messing with my phone and didn't take notes. Suffice it to say I was trying a couple of different 4.3 ROMS in the forums, as well as the two available MIUI roms that were in there. I use TWRP.
I did wait quite a while before declaring no data, it has actually been a couple of days. It does show I have a signal, and I can get texts that are sent to me. When my wife tries to call my phone it goes right to voice mail, even when it does say I have a signal (4G, full bars). I also cannot send a text, it immediately goes to 'failed message'.
I tried setting my phone back to LTE/CDMA/EvDo, but I don't see an option for CDMA subscription. I wonder if I accidentally tried a Global ROM instead? All I am really looking for is some 4.2 love, I like what my daughters Nexus 4 has for lock screen widgets, and my Cleanrom installation is acting a little wonky now and again, so thought it was time to flash something new. Silly rabbit, trix are for kids.
Thanks again. Thinking of flashing a stock ROM and starting over. Any thoughts?

follow my last post; Mastamoon has his version of CM10.2 (4.3) running great, and is very quick at answers (during the week that is) as well a couple of other DEVs that follow that tread are always willing to offer help. AND he has a download app, that once you install will tell you when there is an update, give you a direct link to it, and after downloading, will check the MD5 to insure a good download.
providing you are on VZW that is.
I actually had this problem coming from hyper drive to dirty Unicorn. But i started out on the Droid X back in the day so I was used to it. While I don't know if this really works but it worked for me is do *22899 then *228# ( so the keyboard pops up ) i did it a few times also i turned it off the cell service and turned it back on using the toggle. While i dont know if that will do it it worked for me. I know LTE dont need do that because of the sim but it does for me in the hiccup.
A question i have that i cant post in the Dev Fourm because of lack of post. I been part of XDA for long time just never posted. But I'm running Dirty Unicorn and theres a option for fast charge but it does nothing. I've used this feature before and makes my car charger work better and home charging and my battery sucks now but does anyone know how to get it working? I've tried terminal did SU and FFC but nothing.
I'm running twrp recovery. I'm asuming the latetest version. And i do let it settle for a while. As for the settings you mentioned, everything is normal,and as it should be. The imei,meid, ect. Is normal. Thanks for the input.
I've fixed this by going full ODIN, putting a stock image back on, and following the instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066133 Seems to be working, it is no longer on roaming.

When I tried 4.2 and turned off data it completely killed my signal. None of my recoveries of 4.1.2 had signal. Flashing back to stock fixed the signal problem.
Hellfire and Dirty Unicorns have worked great for me since going to 4.3 and 4.3.1. I use cwm touch recovery but idk how much of an effect recovery has with flashing a rom successfully.
But this tool makes rooting, unlocking the bootloader, and recovery very simple and easy. (but I would flash the latest recovery after using the tool just in case)

I believe fast charge is kernel related and not because of a rom. I haven't ever used fast charge but all the kernel threads always list fast charge as a feature. But which DU build are you running?
