Why... - HTC One S

How come when I use a custom Rom, my 3g icon keeps switching from 2g to 3g to h to h+? Btw I have a new one that I just bought from tmobile 3 days ago. Thanks in advance.

Covered many times, but it is because the custom ROMs use the European base and not the TMO US base. Trickdroid won't do that if you use the TMOUS version. It's just a software thing. Nothing wrong with your phone

Radio?

I have never changed my radio. I am learning this on the go. Will a newer radio give me better reception or internet? Do I flash it just like a Rom by putting in ad card?
Thanks for any help.

Antenna Reception

Hi noob here, I just want to ask if there's a way to improve the sensations antenna reception, I have been having inconsistent signal sometimes people will call me and even if my phone is on they said it goes straight to vm due to low signal specially when my phone is idle for a long time. Hope someone can shed a light to my problem.
Note: I already tried warranty exchange and same thing, tmobile signal in our area is very good.

Can I flash a new radio and keep the stock rom? I love how the stock sense that's why I never did try to flash or root my phone yet.

Connection Issues after Rooting

I've rooted my phone using the Ace Hack Kit a month ago and since then I have been having awful times with my 3G connection. I hardly get it, when I'm lucky I get EDGE, and I'm not even talking about callings that were also affected. I've tried several different Radios and I still didn't get a solution. I'm in Brazil and would like to know if there could be any connection of the rooting to the connection problems.
Thanks A LOT!

The root access has nothing to do with the signal strengh. The issue should be something in the hardware rather than the software. Try cleaning the antenna...

Now where exactly do I find the antenna? Is there a special technique to clean it?
Thanks again...

The antenna is under the back cover (where the sim card is)....make sure that the metal contacts are ok...just clean it with alcohol and let it dry...
No luck. Still getting bad connection. So there is NO WAY a software change could have caused it? And if it is a hardware problem could it be that a fall or something like it may have caused it?
Once again thanks for the help...

When you flashed a new radio did you also flash its corresponding ril? That could cause some issues. If so I would go back to stock to see if it still persists

Hey... That IS something... So for each radio I install through Bootloader there's a corresponding RIL that MUST be installed as well?

Have you tried any other rom other then an MIUI? Might want to give it a shot and see if it helps.
I've already tried MILLION different ROMS... Both Gingerbread and ICS and no success... I'm going nuts with it... =/

Yes that is very possible. If you dropped this phone it could have weakened one of the radio contacts or even possibly damaged a filter cap on the radio circuit. If software isnt changing your results the next logical step is that its hardware related. Also wondering how the 3g coverage is in your area as well.

If you think that is Rom related, go to the ARHD Q&A thread, there you will find answers better than here.

2 things you need:
1. Ask questions in the right area and not overtop of someone else's question. Thats just rude and shows you didnt read or research before asking your question, as i know this has been covered a dozen times.
2. You need the htc sync software on the computer for passthrough to work.

Data changing between g/3g/H/4g very fast

When I turn on the data it start to change so quick not even a second on a level the it stick in g for a minute and then start to change fast ... Does someone know what could be the problem??

Nothing is wrong. If your on 4.0.4 or a ROM based on 4.0.4 then it's usual. Thus is from TrickDroid thread
Q. I’m getting G for my signal! How come I’m only getting GPRS instead of 3G or HSPA+?
A. This is a problem in HTC’s handy work. There are cases being reported where people are getting the G symbol instead of 3G or H but if you do a test with a speed test app, you’ll see that you’re still getting HSPA+ speeds. The symbol is not an effective method of determining network speed. For the time being, just assume G stands for Great!

Tmous 3.32 or 3.33

What are the changes that the 3.33 has apart from 3.32? I have T-Mobile in the US and I am wondering if it would make a difference if I got the 3.33 firmware. Will it make a difference in phone signal or WiFi signal or will it make a difference at all?

I know that some people have expierienced some issues with WIFI after updating to 3.33, however, I myself have updated to 3.33(also a t-mobile user), and haven't had ANY issues. I am currently running CM10, and haven't had any issues. Great speeds also.

I've run 3.33 roms on 3.32 firmware and vise versa. There are problems with WiFi and Bluetooth on stock 3.33 due to two missing files. I've addressed both files in my version of 3.33. Without these changes you may have to set a static ip address for WiFi to connect, otherwise it will just hang without connection.
/system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-run-hooks
and
/system/etc/dbus.conf
are both missing in the 3.33.401.106RUU

Yes I'm a T-Mobile user and run 3.33 never had problems no problems with 3.33 ROMs either. All is well. I actually feel I had a bit better signal after flashing 3.33. I've been using 3.33 for awhile now and its proven to be just fine no issue whatsoever!

Good to know you've had success running 3.3.3 roms on 3.3.2.531.
I've been reluctant to jump up to 3.3.3 firmware because of all the horror stories about losing wifi and not getting it back. This is from reading all the threads of people who flashed 3.3.3 firmware, tried a multitude of Roms, move back down to 3.3.2 firmware, and still don't get WiFi back. What is your take on that? (I value your thoughts and opinions when I see you in a thread. I abide by the Dude.)

I haven't gone extremely in depth in chasing down user issues lately, but I know that majority of wifi issues are related to users without s-off. More often than not, you'll find that wifi issues and htc-dev unlock go hand in hand. I've gone back and forth a number of times now and have suffered no such issues.
Now, as far as differences between 3.32 and 3.33 go... There are new kernel sources that were released for the 3.33 builds. Kernels built from these sources DO seem to work fine with 3.32 roms. There are no change logs released from HTC, so the only changes you could really decipher from source would be within the kernel sources manually. As far as any other changes between ROMs or firmware, nobody really answered because nobody really spent the time to manually dissect each and every file within the bases for comparison. It's just the way people think around here: higher number must mean better right? LOL
If you're happy with 3.32.531.14 then stick with it. There's nothing in 3.33.401.106 that is going to make your phone run faster or jump higher!
