Hi there, i have two questions:
I made all the procedure and installed cleanrom/elemental kernel, this combo is superb!
The question is, I still have the 1,09 bootloader, should i update it too?
Also, my phone, looses signal, a bit randomly. In my house, it never looses signal, but when i am out and carrying it, i see some signal drops, with no signal and an "X" on the signal bars. After a few minutes or seconds the signal is recovered. I use an old (10year?!) "cutdown" sim, could that cause all this problem? That it just doesn't make sometimes good contact? Anyway i am going to have a new one sim the next days, just didn;t have the time to go and get a new one.
Also, does anyone know good radios for Europe?Showed the map, but i don't see anything for Europe, thanks!

No! You want the 1.09 bootloader. The more recent version is more locked down and a pain in butt when it comes to flashing roms.

Hi guys, first post on the forums... so be a little patient, I hope I am in the right place.
I bought a used att Tilt last night and it came with windows mobile 6.1 already on it. I threw my sim card in there and it kept dropping signal. it would have signal for one minute and then lose it for a minute and then get it back. anyways I figured it was a botched install or something so I went to HTC's website and flashed the 6.1 update they have there.
RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_1.62.502.0
now it runs a lot faster and except it wont allow me to call out/connect to the internet or anything.
I do have 4 bars and it says I am connected to the ATT network but something isn't right.
if you guys could help me out that would be great but I am a little new to this so bear with me.
Does your SIM still work in your old phone? and can you receive calls(you only stated you can't call out)
does the signal keep popping in and out and the radio signal strength icon (where the bars usually are) have an exclamation mark when you have no signal?
if that is the case, i dont know the fix, but ive had two devices do the same thing. both would exhibit the same behavior with stock 6.1/6.0/many customs and many radio versions, spl 3.28/29/56 and 1.0, and returning them to stock. i still have one of them and was going to return it for service. i thought i might have been the evil radio problem, but it took every flash i threw at it and still had the same problem.
this is all with my sim that works in my two current kaisers/moto q/bj2/bb 8310 etc...
havent been able to figure it out...
When you go into BootLoader (Hold Power and Camera buttons and use stylus to push reset button) what does it say?
have you tried fashing a new radio?

yeah sim works great on the old phone, no problems at all.
Hey guys, I haven't done anything to my phone but all of the sudden, the data and phone signal basically quit working. I have a very hard time getting texts, phone calls etc to go though but it will eventually (usually takes a while or a few tries) and as far as data goes, I basically have no connectivity at all unless I'm on wifi. It says 3g or H every once in a while, but it's really slow and usually doesn't stay for long. I'm running CM9, and like I said before I didn't change anything that I'm aware of that would have caused this problem. It worked fine before, and it just stopped. Ideas? Thanks

have you called your provider? maybe its on their end.
I'm having the same exact problem... it shows my 3g it shows all my bars but instead of the bars being colored or the 3g be in color is gray. Also I cannot get back conectivity until I restart the phone. Does anybody have an idea what this is?
Are you on AT&T? I was not having any problems until a certain point in time, and I didn't change or do anything to incite them. I'm not even getting calls anymore, I'll just get all my texts in a wave every few hours. My data is useless, it won't stream, or load web pages, and my phone is frequently saying "Emergency calls only" when I'm sitting at my freaking house (which normally has full 3g and cell signal and is very fast)
This just started occuring with my 9020a on AT&T the first week of March. I switched SIM cards twice, spent about an hour on the phone with ATT, and sent the device back to Samsung who rolled back the software to 2.3.4 and the Radio to UKE1.
I still have the issue. Samsung says its not them. ATT does nothing. It;s liek the phone just stopped working, started dropped calls, missing calls, and the internet connection sucks. I have an iphone for work through ATT as well and have no issues with signal.
ANy help is appreciated.
Hmm
Make sure you have the right, most up to date settings for APN, and flash original radios. if it still doesn't work, make sure you have the i9020A, which has the at&t 3g antenna, not i9020T which has the T-Mobile antenna, vice versa.
Have you tried other radios for your device (make sure you flash the appropriate ones for your model)? Any signal info under Phone Information when dialing *#*#4636#*#*?

Sounds like you're having the exact same problem I am having. I switched sim cards, flashed different roms, etc and nothing. (although to be fair, after the new sim, things work better, but still not well) I'm about ready to pop my sim back in my craptivate and just go with that... or buy an iphone off of craigslist.

I am 100% sure I have the 9020a, but I don't know anything about APN and flashing radios. I have only ever flashed full roms before, so I wouldn't know where to look for the original radio.

I have not tried other radios. The signal info seems solid, sitting at my house, but the 3g is still horridly slow. It taked 15-30 seconds to load a webpage, even a pretty mundane one like google. Messages still come through in waves, and often won't send
About your APN, AT&T should provide you with the proper values to put in under Settings | Wireless & Network | More | Mobile Networks | Access Points Names.
If you are on ICS, they values should populate by themselves.
Can you try flashing other radios and see if you encounter the same problem:

Make sure you backup your EFS folder (and all data for that matter).
I had similar problems, they were related to turning 3g on/off with a APN widget while the phone had little signal. As soon as started enabling and disabling 3g on the android options everything was back normal.

the data works most of the time now it's just retardedly slow. I can't stream music even on low quality, nor can I watch youtube without leaving it for 5 minutes to buffer,pages take forever to load, and I was downloading a 6 meg app and it took 20 minutes to download whenI was leaving the phone alone and not moving. I got really sick of trying to fix it and finally gave it to geeksquad to send in to get replaced. sigh.
So...
I am running my phone rooted, but mostly stock (just some removals) with ROM 1.53.401.2 and he 0.15.3150S.19_10.31501S.06L baseband.
Its been perfoming fine ever since so I never bothered to upgrade to a custom ROM or the newer basebands.
Its an EU unbranded phone. As of tonight, with nothing special done to it it seems to have lost all cell reception. All I get is An x where the 5 bars are. Funnily, when I turn of my WiFi router and select wireless internet, I can get online and download data through the cellular inetnet connection. But not a single call or SMS will go out.
I have moved to like every location in my apartmant and outside and nowhere I can even get a single bar of reception or even a call through.
Does anyone have any idea WTH this could be, what could have caused it? Any ideas on where to prod and poke for a solution?
Mine did that for the first day after I put a non-stock ROM on it...hasn't done it since. I took the piece that covers the SIM card off and popped it back on. I don't know what causes it though.

I just got my Nexus 5 and I haven't root it yet. I notice that everytime I don't use my phone 5-10 minutes or hours, the signal will be lost and asking to reboot my phone. I can't tell when it's up or not. Sometime I take multiple reboot to get signal back up then it happens again and again. Is there a way to fix this problem without rooting? I don't think it's the Sim Card because I used it on my nexus 4 without any problem. or Just my device isn't good one. Please help!

I didn't root my phone yet, and I'm running 4.4.2 now. It's annoying to keep losing signal and it's back again. Even I have signal, I only have 1 bar compare to my old Nexus 4 has 3 bar or HTC one full bar.
I don't want to root it if its not solve this problem, I will have to return it.
There was an issue on 4.4 where it would randomly give you the "emergency only" message. You would have to turn on airplane mode and then turn it off, or reboot. But people have been saying it was fixed with 4.4.1/4.4.2.

The radio however sucks in 4.4.2 and was better in 4.4.1
perhaps we may see 4.4.3 to fix this?

I think it might be overall worse, but luckily I actually didn't see any decrease in signal in my area. I was really worried about it because I already have really bad signal in my house but 4.4.2 doesn't seem to be worse for me.
You guys forget to mention that Google cheaped out on the antenna to cut costs. Best you can do is to flash your carrier's radio over the generic one

each nexus device has a different build quality looks like the newer ones based off the serial number looks to be a tad better signal wise

I'm sorry, but you're dead wrong. SO much misinformation here. First off, there is no "carrier" or "generic" baseband. There is only one baseband. Second, antenna design requires a lot of engineering to maximize signal efficiency when you're dealing with interference from such things as wifi, nfc, Bluetooth, metal construction in the phone, etc.. I'm not sure what magical material you think that cell antennas should be made of that will solve issues?
I just got off of the phone with Sprint. They show that there is an internal memo on the issue and LG is aware of it. They will be pushing an update as soon as it's ready. Sprint will also be pushing an update for the Airave to help with the issue. The support rep told me that it is an issue where the wifi and LTE radios aren't playing nicely together and causing a conflict. That's why everything seems to work fine when 3G is set as a preferred network.
It's an issue that still hasn't gotten fix as seen here.

The issue seem to be gone after couple days. I checked signal strength app, it shows same even though it shows only 1 bar.
Recently just updated to 11.0-xnph44s through OTA, but today all in a sudden I lost signal. I know my home has bad signal, sometimes 1 bar or none.
But when i get out the house, mostly the phone will pick up full bar immediately. This morning when I was on my way to work. Phone got no signal at all. I had to reboot the phone.
Does anyone have problem like that ? Is it my phone having problem or the 11.0-xnph44s update?

I'm on the 44S modem and have no such issue. However I cannot pinpoint your issue, but can only say that modems work differently per person per location. You can reflash the 38R or 33R modems in the modem thread here on XDA, but you will need to have an unlocked bootloader to issue fastboot commands.
