I've recently got a new 3G iphone. It came with a new SIM card that is suppose to be optimized for iphone. When I put this sim card into my Touch Cruise, I am unable to get 3G. There is signal bars but I cannot make or receive phone calls. The only way to make or receive phone calls is by disabling the 3G. The same applies for Data. I thought maybe the radio ROM was not working so I changed it to the Murata ROM but I am still having problems. I am on the Rogers network in Canada. Has anybody else having similar problems? Any help would be appreciated as I still find my Touch Cruise more useful than the 3G iphone.
Most probably is ur phone broken. U will have to send it to the service. Maaaaany users had/have/will have problems with calls, connections, signal strenght,bluetooth, camera, broken wheel etc. I had... Touch cruise is crapy.
If you know someone with a non-iPhone 3G sim, try theirs in your Cruise and see what happens

Actually, I did this today. Same thing happen. I would get a 3G signal but when I tried to make a call, I get no signal. But when I disable the 3G, edge works fine with voice and data.
Hi, I sufered the same problem until yesterday. I had the same problems. Yesterday I switched off the HSDPA switch in the software, after a soft reset the TC came back online. Probably worth trying?

I've tried both Murata radio roms. Both gives very good 3G signal but when I try to make a call or use data, I get no connection. I've tried the original radio ROM and some of the Kaiser ported radio Roms. They all give me no connection with 3G. In every case, when I disable the 3G, I can make calls and get data although it is only through edge and GPRS. I looked at my box for the TC and it is revision A. Do I need to send my TC for repair? I even went as far as calling my cell phone provider(Rogers) and they couldn't help me. The phone is functional but without 3G I am not getting very fast data speeds.
The problem started with my TC started after upgrading to Udk R6 and R7, after upgrading to R8 and a new radio version

Will give you an updated radio version what will have a good match with the Udk diamond R8 Rom.
Succes, WAS
just a question, I'm on ATT, and the sim card I use on my polaris came off the iPhone3G, and I get the H (the high speed thing) sign on the phone during data sessions. on some areas I'm only able to get E and sometimes even the G sign came on and off. so I guess, maybe wherever you are, the 3G signal isn't strong enough, so you can only get edge.
and as of the other person noted, polaris is kind of at the edge of getting broken, fast. I only uses mine exclusively for web browsing for a week when the phone goes crazy. sent it to repair and everything seems to be in "sane" mode now let's hope that my phone didn't try to go insane again

Guys, maybe a silly comment but did you check the following settings : phone/menu/options/band and check select network type to auto?
I have had problems before with 3G & HSDPA. Somtimes when your registered on HSDPA and you travell away from that mast/area into an area that only has 3G or even only Edge, then device does not re-register onto the other band and you will not be bale to make calls and will miss calls. This happened for days one time and i very nearly hard reset my device in frustration, i eventually found out it was a network problem.
Another work around is going to phone/menu/networks and manually select networks and hopefully it should bring up your 3G network.
Phone operators do not like telling you that their 3G or HSPDA networks do not have good coverage or intermittent quality of signal. My 3G network only has 70% coverage & 30 % of that is HSDPA, so i sometimes end up on EDGE and hence miss calls.
Try playing around with the setting above one at a time. When im stuck i manually set band to GSM (edge), then when travelling away reset back to auto. Most of the time however it is fine.
Hi, I'm from Argentina. I had the same problem with 3G after a trip to other country. Now my TC only works well in GSM Band. Unfortunatelly we don't have service support here so if anyone knows how to fix this will be highly appreciated.
I have the same problem in my Polaris. I tried almost every radio i could find, i tried with different sim cards, i tried with official wm6 and wm6.1 roms with no result. When 3G is enabled i can not make or receive calls. I think that the problem started when i first upgraded from WM6 to WM6.1. Now i keep band selection to GSM so at least i can use my polaris as a phone. There must be something that prevents gsm connection when 3G is active. I hope a registry tweak could be found for this. I' m just one step from sending my device to be serviced.
I have the same trouble with my virgin uk sim card and t-mobile which share the same network(need to turn off 3g),but no trouble with my asda sim which uses the vodaphone network.So if you try different sim cards make sure they dont share networks.Another thing i've noticed with my virgin sim is all my preferred networks are unchecked but my phone will still connect if my 3g is turned off?
Hi guys
This is the first time ever I am trying an android phone out coming from an iPhone 4.
So basically I got my nexus s yesterday it said it was on vodafone but I understand the nexus s is fully unlocked. Anyway yesterday I put in my o2 sim and it worked out the box making calls etc. I rooted it and everything was fine. This morning I used the gps for a trip to work it worked perfectly. I could connect to the 3G network etc.
When I came home in the evening I tried to make a call and it said emergency calls only but it doesn't let me make any calls! I have hard reset it. Tried different roms. Erased cache etc etc. Still nothing. I called o2 support and they said from their end my sim is fine and no problem with it there is no lock etc.
If I go into the diagnostic tool thing *#*#4636#*#* it says the following
Signal strength -107 dbm 7asu
Gsm service: emergency calls only
Gsm disconnects: state:dcinactivestate disconnected with last try at 12:59am fail because no error
I have no clue what's wrong please help!
nevermind, missed that you had done that
try another SIM card
i had a similar issue, and the problem was the SIM card

Some one please solve this damn issue......it is more spread in India.......tried all baseband updates but still......driving me crazy
Same problem here.
Hope may fix!..under testing..Emergency calls only!!
I was so much annoyed with this so called network drop issue 'emergency calls only' which is appearing on my moblie every now and then and while on important calls..suddenly cutdown due to network loss.
im not a techy geek to go into kernels and rewrite some of the scripts ..etc..
so i may sound silly..but pls try it out..its working for me for last 2 days without drop..may be bcoz of wat i did or may be simply dont knw still testing..so i thought to share this across and see wat others experience..
the actual thing wat i did find is that there is some .005 mm gap over the sim in sim slot so i felt it may be a cause of some not contact of sim with the slot..in some micro levels..
so i introduced a paper above the sim while inserting sim in slot then it becom tight enough to stay its in contact all times..
its simple.. but u people hv to say weather its bcoz of this it works ..
Thanks Ram..

sorry guys : ( its not the fact causing network error.. i got a drop in signal after 2 1/2 days..
Same issue!
hey guys,
I am facing a similar issue.
I picked up my Nexus S (unlocked) running on 4.03 from UK, but using it now in India.
Baseband version - I9023XXKI1
Kernel version - 3.0.8-ga178ab4
Build number - soju-userdebug 4.0.3 IML69C 235871 test-keys
When I use any SIM here (Airtel/Vodafone), it is getting into Emergency mode. But strangely the GPRS service works. I am able to browse, stream, email etc. I dont understand how GPRS services are working when GSM isnt?
I am unable to use my new phone! Can anyone please shed some light here...
My nexus does this also, I've only found trying different radios to help but not eliminate the problem. Also when searching for networks, manually selecting your carrier instead of having it on automatic also helped.
I had this problem the other day. I was on emergency calls only, and AT&T said it was due to an antenna outage. Then I told them my wifes phone was working.. ended up at AT&T store, no luck, etc, etc.. To put an abbreviated story of my night of pain.
I tried a ton of different radios, all would not connect to 3g or make phone calls. Until I installed UCKF1 (New Version) from the [RADIO/GUIDE/TWEAK]Radio JK1,JK8,KB1,KB2,KB3,KD1,KF1 & UCKD1,KE1,KF1 with HSPDA Tweak thread. I don't know what that radio file did, but it fixed it. And after that when I flashed other radios which were previously not working, they were working again.
I'm not sure what happened, but while this was going on radios I had used before like KB3 didn't work. Once I had UCKF1 (New Version) installed, I was then able to successfully go to any radio I tried.

Exactly same thing happeining with me, Emergency calls showing, no network but GPRS Edge is working perfectly. I have mistaknly upgraded my rom through custom method, after that I am having this issue. Any fix so far? I think its confirmed issue of radio baseband
Hello,
Someone know why when i changed basebad ( v20a -> v21F or V21e ) the signal of network 3G is too less? Some times it didn't work, but with original baseband works well.
It problem only appear in 3G, in 2G ( EDGE don't show any problem, work's well in all baseband).
Have some idea how can i fix it?
My phone is P920H v20a ( Brazil - Open)
Thank you
got the same issue, sometimes 3g never works or the signal is lost after changing from 2g to 3g.
I think there's no fix available yet, what I did is send it to lg for warranty matters, still gotta wait 1 more week to get it back and report the issues, but to be honest I expect that crappy phone won't work so I can change it
Thank you by repply.
I was checking the baseband v20P, some guys said this is the best in network conection...i will try...and i hope work's!!!
I'm on v20a now, the official in mexico and looks good, but lost signal twice after deleting some apps with titanium
I tryed to use v20P, but i can't...i'd problem with bootloop...stopped in At&T logo...never start the system....
So i change back to v21e, sometimes lost the signal...but 2g works well... and is the only way to get a overclock...because my baseband v20a don't have a rom with overclock....=/
Hi all people, some time ago i created a thread about this same issue, now that i tested some radios from the firmware thread (flasehd them through moto-fastboot) ,tested retail uae, asia and asia ops, they all get to same problem cannot get more than 2 bars on my signal, and almost all the time im on emergency call only mode, this bothers me because i have an antena like 2 blocks away ,tested signal on my p500 and my atrix 4g and both of them get full reception, i must say that its not a populated area, so i started thinking about maybe i have issues with the radio hw itself, or maybe just none of the radios ive tested is the right one? Im form chile, thats south america carrier claro chile running scv7 leak #1 rom ,is there a way to "powerup" radio's reception ? Or i need to get latam radio firmware (havent found it) ?
Thanks in advance

Are you sure your sim is correct? I had a friend who had a 3G phone, they upgraded and got a 4G phone and put the old sim from the 3G into the 4G phone. They had the same problem you're describing. Poor reception, constantly switching into 'emergency call mode', etc. They finally got a 4G sim and all was well. You might dial in *#*#4636#*#* and check your preferred network to make sure it isn't on anything funky like GSM only. Also you can check your signal strength and service connections from there.

I assume you're on stock ICS? If so you can boot into recovery and select BP Tools <-- not sure if that the exact name, but it's close. Either way, when you reboot you'll have a new app (can't remember the name either, but you'll see it), it's a debug app and it might let you see your mobile network info similar to the dial code. Once you reboot again, the app will be gone, and you'll be back in normal mode. I'm on CM10 and have been for awhile, so I don't have ICS in front of me, I apologize for the vague info, but hopefully it helps.
Im on scv7, cannot find bp tools anywhere ,also would be great if someone point me out to a GB fxz firmware
Edit: just found it ,dunno if its temporary (stability) or i got it, extracted radio.img from jimbridgam's return to gb from ics fxz script utility ,will test tomorrow morning while on the road and also post results if anyone is having the same problem i was
edit2: worked like a charm ,no more low signal issues

use jimbridgman's return to gb from ics utility (it's on dev section) then download the file, op3n with winrar, extract radio.img, then flash through moto fastboot (type moto-fastboot xda developers on google and it will show up an atrix og forum's thread ) have it running, then replace ics radio with gingerbread one (google arround on how to do this) type moto-fastboot flash radio radio.img and you are done

Hi guys,
i have european monosim htc one e8 opaj3000 m8sn.
Android Version : 5.0.2
Software Number : 2.34.401.5
I live in Italy and my telephone operator is wind.
Some times while using the phone , drops the data connection , even with full signal . Sometimes the signal resumes alone , sometimes I have to reboot my phone .
Also I can not connect to the network lte .
A friend of mine has an iphone 5c with a vodafone sim that takes 4g , I tried to put the sim in my phone but does not hook the signal .
In the settings I have only the following choices :
3g only , only 2g , 2g / 3g auto and 2g / 3g / 4g auto .
How can I fix this?
Do you think it is a problem of phone ( hardware or software ) ?
Please help me
Probably, it's a problem of lollipop...
How i can return to KitKat?
Sent from my HTC One_E8 using XDA Free mobile app
I have the same HTC E8 model, the same operator and I live in Italy too.
I have almost the same problem, random no signal and mobile data drops, although I never had to reboot (it always came back alone after some seconds). Don't know about 4g since I never went to a place with 4g available, as far as I know.
Also I noticed that the signal takes some time to settle after changing settings from 2g to 2g/3g eccetera, compared to my two years "old" Desire 601 in which it was almost immediate.
I guess it's something related to radio firmware

have you tried with another telephone operator ?
Do you have any idea how to solve this problem ?
I 've tried to contact support htc Italy , but I do not even know what we are talking terminal , since in Italy is not commercialized .
I haven't tried with another operator since I don't have another nano sim :/
Anyway today I've been able to connect to 4g without the need of supplementary configuration. Peraphs it was just accessible in few area (in this case Roma Eur) where I haven't been before..
Anyway I guess the problem could be with lollipop firmware, as you said you could try downgrading to kitkat, although I don't know how to do it
try to reset your phone back to stock and wipe data/cache maybe it will help

HI,
Can you please upload a TWRP backup of your phone? i live in italy too and I can't upgrade my phone to lollipop because I don't have the stock recovery.
