Can't do any calling or texting (signal is good and provider recognized) - HTC Sensation

Bought my Sensation recently from ebay as faulty and not working but all foults i found was a sound button's connector a tiny bit out and stuck because of bad flashing. So not a big deal. Just fixed the "big fault", updated firmware, installed 4ext and flashed with latest "Elegancia" rom. All seemed to be smooth and perfect until recently noticed that i can't do any texting or calling... A network is recognized (EE), the signal is good but when i try to call and it tries to dial the call is dropped with just no signal.. Also tried http://www.numberingplans.com/?page=analysis&sub=imeinr as i found it on forum an there was said that if this test gives "very likely" the IMEI is not blocked... so it is not blocked as i see... And be the way... Data connection is working.
The device has that:

Get an app GetRil and verify that you have best RIL/Radio combinations.
If not, either change your ril or flash a new radio from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202867

Do a backup and then full system wipe except sdcard then reflash rom and ril. See how it goes.
You now have the latest radio, so you try another rom too if it doesnt work.

eaach of them with each of those RILs i had. No difference at all. the phone won't catch any signal if i change the RIL or just behaves the same.
still no calls, no texts... can't send nor receive.
how about correct radio version..? maybe there are some different versions of them not just picking the newest hoping that it works but picking the right version too. Have no idea what that version might or should be... am i talking to the right direction? because now it seems that hardware is kind of recognized and usable (as there is some connectivity and effort connecting to data) but it cant do any action with it...
and by the way.. how the phone behaves if it is stolen and blocked by operator?

I've downloaded it, the version is: 32.48.00.32u_5.10.05.30
I haven't tried it yet. But to answer your question, yes it is older but it is Orange specific which I assume gets around the network locking issue with some other radio versions? I'm interested to hear peoples experiences with this as my Desire is on Orange.

Ah sorry my bad i didnt see the "orange" bit funny i simlocked my orange desire but when i rooted and flashed my brothers his didnt simlock when i updated his radio with the same one.......
Could someone tell me if every radio has a corresponding RIL. I keep hearing about RIL, but never see them available to flash.
I've just been grabbing radio files (like those on this thread) and flashing them. I've never flashed a RIL - is this bad?

some say the RIL helps make a rom work better with the radio, however its a "newish" thing to do.
I have had nothing but issues when flashign RIL's so I now am just back to flashing radios like I always used to.
Nobody tested this Radio for 5 days? OK, I'll do it :/
Is this for Orange phone only? Would like to try it on my desire if it's not..
I have been using it for a few days and it seems ok to me! Can't really comment on the battery life as I have overclocked by phone since then!
Run it on OD 4.0.34 for 36 hours. Seems OK. But one of the incoming calls, my friend couldn't hear me at all at the full bar -56dBM 2G network, and he sounded like tin voice to me. Called him back in 10 sec, same situation. So, no love...sorry. Then tried it on OD 4.0.36, keep losing connection somehow on various place with 2G...
[Oct 23, 2010] EDIT: Confirmed this radio is on par with the 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 in term of sound quality and GPS. Stable.
I'm confused.
My phone's CID is Orange-related, but it's sim-unlocked.
- Will this radio simlock my device back?
- Do I need to use this radio only on orange france (or wherever the phone is originally from)?
Radios are not rom related, this is simply the radio that orange were using in their last OTA, you don't need a orange phone to run it and no it won't sim lock you.
errr anyone?
Thanks for doing this! Was looking for it - I'll test it now...
I tested this for a while and had no issues. Tried a couple of custom 2.2 ROMS with it and also had no issues.
As I knew I could flash back to it, I tried the radio that most chefs recommend with their 2.2 ROMS - It worked and I DIDN'T get SIM locked....
So I'm now using that! Not sure if I wouldn't have got SIM locked anyway, or if this somehow bypasses it...?

[Q] Issue with 1.47.401.4 : often get "Limited Service" and hard to get signal back

[Q] Issue with 1.47.401.4 : often get "Limited Service" and hard to get signal back
Hi there,
Since 1.47.401.4 (and never before with 1.28.x), I'm experiencing issues with the radio, especially voice:
1/ I often get a "Limited Service" warning in places where I could easily get a decent signal to give a call.
2/ Each time I got the "Limited Service" warning, it can take ages before the signal gets back (after I moved to some other place).
3/ Sometimes, I need to reboot the terminal to get the voice signal back.
I did perform a full wipe (factory reset) on my phone and install the rom again (using the roms.zip method within the bootloader) but it didn't really solve this issue.
I also cleaned the sim card contacts, just in case, but this was useless.
I also chose "GSM auto (PRL)" in the phone settings, this helped a bit, but still this annoying issue remains.
If someone got a clue, I'm interested ! And if anyone is experiencing such weak/bad signal issue, I'm interested in your feedback.
Cheers.

I have the same problem! 1.28.x was OK, bet the newest one in terms of receiving signals is just terrible!

HTC wants me to sent my phone back but I don't think this issue has something to do with the hardware...

In complete contrast to what you two are saying..(see my old thread where I had this problem with the older radios http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133785)
I'm now running on the latest radio but not the latest ROM (as I use LBC MOD which is currently based on a 1.36 ROM) and I no longer experience this problem.
My conclusion being that the newest Radio is better.
Thanks for your feedback.
Would you then say that the "Radio_20.28I.30.085 AU_3805.06.02.03_M" was the answer to your phone bad signal issues ? Then, I might need to use another rom an check if that helps...

I have this problem as well and have emailed HTC but received no reply yet.
Also sometimes it all looks okay and allows calls out but incoming calls go straight to voicemail.
Well, HTC will probable ask you to send your phone for repair.
Actually, this is what they've just replied to my email. But I won't send my phone for a simple flash that I could do my-self !
It seems this is a known issue of the HTC phones (there are plenty of such reports on the internet).
Although this problem hasn't effected my calls on the latest radio version, I do agree that I've often seen what looks like severe signal fluctuations, from zero bars to full bars etc, I've also read about this being an issue on the incredible s
I'm hoping that further rom and radio upgrades will improve this.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App
It seems that the "Limited Service" issue is caused by a signal loss (i.e. using the elevator for instance) that is never followed by an automatic "good signal" retrieval (i.e. after leaving the elevator and going to a place where signal is usually very good).

did it mean did I switch my phone to WCMDA only? if so the answer is NO, mine is set to Auto as around where I live and work there is reasonably good signal.

yes, this is what i wanted to know anyway, this didn't change anything for me.
Have you progressed any?
I tried flashing to 1.28 via the RUU at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506 but it doesn't appear to want to do a downgrade.
I don't seem to get getting the no service at the moment but I am having problems with incoming calls going to voicemail when the phone claims to be connected.
I put my SIM (giffgaff, a MVNO on O2-UK) into my old phone (an XDA Zest) and put an O2-UK SIM into the HTC. At times I could call the XDA with no problem but calling the HTC went to voicemail - two phones next to each other on the same network....
Of course I can't say if this was a problem with 1.28 as I wasn't looking for it but I suspect 1.47 is the problem.
As expected HTC want me to send the phone back which I think I might do and try and persuade them to downgrade it for me.
yes some progress, at last ! I followed the step by step procedure to s-off the rom 1.47.401.4 rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194488) and then downgrade to the 1.28.401.7 rom that I was using originally. And now everything works fine...
i could say that once again i learnt that newer doesn't mean better

What method did you use to do the downgrade?
I was thinking of trying the method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1190992 which I don't think needs s-off.
Update: I tried the non S-OFF method and have downgraded to 1.28 - I'll see how it behaves now.
I used the PG88IMG.zip method. Basically, you need to copy the roms.zip extracted from the RUU installer to the root of your /sdcard and then reboot your phone to the bootloader.

I ran the RUU exe directly which seemed less involved. It's looking good so far but I'll need to get out and about and see how it behaves in different locations.

where can I get a rom.zip that works?
After earlier saying that I'd not experienced this limited service problem, I have now witnessed this a couple of times.
Although, since I applied this
20.4130.0818U_3817.07.00.19_M RADIO I haven't, will re-update post if I do!
This is the Radio that came with the recently leaked Sense SAGA Sense v3.0 ROM and appears to work fine with LBC mod.
does anyone know if one can install this radio over 1.47 with s-off and no root? and if yes - how?

[Q] Desire S loosing signal

Hi all,
A week ago I bought a brand new Desire S and installed latest CM 7.1 stable following the guide on cyanogemod Desire S Wiki using revolutionary 0.4pre4. Everything was smooth and nice, I flashed ROM and GAPPS and my phone is working absolutely perfectly... but there is one little problem...
I am using Desire to fetch my mails from 2 mailservers using IMAP every 30 mins. But when the phone is switching between network modes i.e. HSDPA -> EDGE or EDGE -> GSM or any other way, I am disconnected from operator network for about 10 seconds until the network mode changes and everything is fine after that, until there is another network mode switch.
This happens for me about 10 times a day, so my phone sometimes appears that It is turned off for people who want to call me. Immediately after connecting to network I get a missed call SMS from my operator.
Interesting thing is, that when I disable email fetching, disable background data transfer and disable network data, the phone works fine without "blackouts".
Can someone help me with this problem? Maybe a radio issue?
Some more info:
ROM: Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 Desire S
Recovery: Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4
HBOOT: 6.98.1002
Kernel: 2.6.35.14-cyanogenmod+ [email protected] #1
Radio: 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M
There is a newer radio-file online.
Maybe it's solving your problem.
I'm using MIUI and never had such problems, but i'm interested in flashing CM, so please report if the problem is gone by flashing newer radio!
Which radio version are you using?
Today I am testing 2G only switch so I am on EDGE data only.
Flashing radios is safe......, but a bad radio flash will instantly brick your phone.
You are using 1.47.401.4 radio, try updating to the 2.10.401.5 one.
Thanks for reply.
Shoud I flash something else with the radio?
I have 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04 downloaded from cmw.22aaf3.com
Another I have is ftom OTA update zip file OTA_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8-1.47.401.4_release_225210fmxlt12djw1sr7y5.zip where is one radio.img in formware.zip file too - version unknown
So Which one to flash?
and if so, which method should I use to flash radio? The Android SDK one or the ZIP + Bootloader one?

and if so, which method should I use to flash radio? The Android SDK one or the ZIP + Bootloader one?

Both will work, i'm using method by using bootloader normaly
Strangely I had the same issues as you on Endymion.
Then I updated radio to the latest.
It worked well.
Then I went to CM7. It was fine for a while, but now I'm losing signal with no 3G bars and its not switching automatically to 2G like it should when It has no 3G signal!
EDIT:
After really reading your post, I realise my issue is no way like yours! Yours seems really bad. Update your radio.

Sent from my HTC Desire S
So, here we go with the results
I flashed 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04, md5sum checked OK, update sucess, but phone with no signal...
I flashed 20.48.30.0822U_3822.09.08.20, md5sum checked OK, update sucess, but phone with no signal again...
I flashed 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03 back, md5sum checked OK, update sucess, but phone with no signal again...
... what now ... ?
After each flash wiped cache and Dalvik...
in your telephone-info there is shown the new radio after every flash?
do you have removed the batterycover, because there is integrated the antenna of your device!

No, the cover is at its place where it should be. Somehow I did the trick and I am back online with 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03 on 2G only for now.
I read somwhere in the forum that ENG HBOOT is required for new radios... Are you sure I dont need to flash eng hboot it before new radio ??

in your area 3g is actually available?
may it helps to go outside, to find your net for the first time!
did you set an accesspoint for 3g?
may you have to set automatic settings, rather than 3g/2g-only?!

using same hboot as you, never had problems on flashing radio-files!
yes, in my area there is 3g, when I turn off 2g only switch there is a problem described in my first post, so i am on 2g for now just to keep phone connected to network.
main problem is when i am driving and the phone is switching network modes.
so I give 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04 today another chance, try to flash if again.
but i am woried about stucking on HTC logo after flash :-( and brick it.

i already had the problem for several times, and i also pulled out the battery (you shouldn't do that)!
only had to boot into bootloader, start recovery, wipe all partitions, flash rom and was having fun again with my device
this thread could help you, if really stuck on HTC logo
For your real problem on loosing the signal, did you ever tried out using actual stock rom, or another custom one like MIUI?
i used MIUI from 2010-08 till yesterday, now trying out CM7.1 for some days
I have the same or a very similar problem. I have the stock rom.
I already had 3 different desire s motherboard's and 2 different display's.
The first Desire S i had, with android 2.3.3, had a excellent signal. Due some problems i had, the phone bricked and had to go to HTC to repair.
HTC replaced the motherboard and update the version of the android to 2.3.5 and ever since the signal caption, the signal switch was working very bad.
The phone went to a second repair because of this, new phone, and again with android 2.3.5. The problems persisted.
I also tested with different SIM cards, from different mobile operators.
So, my conclusion is either android 2.3.5 or this new versions of Desire S have problems with signal caption and signal switch.
So as you, i need some help with this issue!

But when I reboot to recovery it will flash the radio again I think.
i hate stock roms, and dont like MIUI design That is why I am using Cyanogen
Anyway if I use 2G only switch, the phone is stable as rock both calls and data transfer.
EDIT: OK, flashed 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04 sucessfully, signal OK, I will see what happens whet metwork mode switches
@Green Hawk:
give us more information about your device please, which radio you're using? Did they flash actual radion also?
@MyroLM:
report if the problem is still there or it's gone with flashing the rom
I am still testing new radio, but looks good Give me some days let you know...
Hi All,
I have a similar problem with the latest CM7.1 nightly builds (Reaper, jorgen2009). I never saw this with older CM7.1 versions, e.g. Nexx version, ICS, MIUI oder Endymion.
I have WLAN on and leave my house. Phone switches to 2G/3G..., so far so good. When I return home, The WLan sign in the status bar appears again, everything seems to be fine, but I have no connection. I get no data via WLan until I swicth WLan off and on again.
Radio is the latest from 2.10.401.5.
Best Regards
Wrapp
Had similar problems, upgrading to the latest radio helped. I got stuck on the HTC screen and I went through flashing RUU's and unlocking bootloaders back and forth... when the only thing that needs to be done is to wipe the cache.
Learned a lot about bootloaders though. But my warranty got void because i did the htcdev unlock... (Sorry for OT)

Signal constantly dropping in specific location

Hi,
So I have recently swapped carriers, from Vodafone to Aldi mobile and since this I have been experiencing constant drop outs whenever I am at home,("No service" as shown in CM10.1) every other location away from my home suburb seems to be fine. It definitely isn't a fault with network coverage as I have put the Aldi sim into another (unrooted) android phone and signal was fine with no dropouts. So it definitely is my device.
The dropouts are lasting anywhere from 10 minutes to several hours. And when the signal is working, it is not weak and it will only last for a short period after which it will drop to no bars and then to "No service"
I have tried the following(in this order):
Toggling Airplane mode & Rebooting
Updating/flashing firmware to 3.33
Flashing the original Sense ROM (Not RUU, restored from a backup) (This is now the current ROM on the device)
Toggling Airplane mode & Rebooting (again)
Changing the preferred network (ie. to GSM only)
None of these have seemed to help.
What else can I try to resolve this issue? I was thinking to flash a different baseband but not sure which one. If anyone can figure out whats actually going on that would also be great too. I've included some additional information about the device below.
Thanks in advance!

...I tried that, it made no change.
I flashed the latest radio from the thread you linked me as well, also updating the RIL. The things I flashed were:
Radio: 11.76C.3504.00P_11.29A.3504.18_M (From OTA 3.33.401.55)
And the matching RIL which was: HTC-RIL_4.0.0037HMQ
Still no success in solving the issue.Should I have tried an older radio? Or what else can I try?

I got the app, It showed that my RIL did not match the baseband (which is weird, as I followed what was on the other thread), anyways, it recommended I flash baseband: 11.76A which I did..I downloaded it from the thread you linked me..it was listed under: Italian OTA 3.33.401.6 h/t
..still no success :/
I think this radio is even worse..when I search for networks manually it says "error while searching for networks"..where as before with 11.76C it found vodafoneAU, Optus and sometimes Telstra (AldiMobile uses the telstra network) When telstra was available, attempting to connect would produce the following error: "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network"

Yes I have tried that multiple times and it has not changed anything unfortunately.
However just after posing my last post about 'getrill' not working, I flashed an older radio with its respective RIL. And now everything seems to be working as it should be. I'm currently monitoring it to see if the signal drops, but so far it's looking good. I flashed the radio from the 3.32.1400.112 HTCCN OTA which is: 11.72.3504.00U_11.23.3504.08_M2
I then flashed the matched RIL: HTC-RIL 4.0.0024HMQ (getrill is also confirming that these are a match )
I will post back if things go bad again...but for now, thanks for all of your advice..it put me on the right track

It isn't perfect, as it doesn't get signal in some places of my house but it is a lot better now (as in no dropouts when it should be fine).I think the rest now must just be antenna strength problems and other interferences around the house because by doing a manual search for operators sometimes telstra is not found (before, when telstra was found for example in my room It would just not register on the network, but now it does) Places like my lounge struggle to show telstra as being found and that was an issue from before.
I'm happy for now, atleast it can last me until i get a new phone

Wifi error

So my wifi doesn't work.
Everytime I try to put it on, it switches off almost immediately . Sometimes I am not even able to switch it on at all. (the switch button becomes grey).
I got this phone from a friend of mine a year ago. The wifi wasn't working either back then (but I believe it had worked at some point in the beginning). When I got the phone it still had the stock rom. Then I flashed some custom roms, mostly CM (gingerbread, ICS). That didn't do any good for my wifi. So I downgraded my hboot and s-offed my phone. Also flashed a new radio, but that didn't help either.
I am slowly beginning to think that it's a hardware issue. But today, ever since a year, my wifi turned on and I was connected for 10 minutes! Then I rebooted my phone to see if it would work again, but unfortunately it didn't.
I read something about flashing a new kernel to fix your wifi, could that do the trick?
Also I read a lot about doing clean rom installs to fix your wifi (so wipe all partitions etc), tried that, didn't work.
Info about my phone:
Android 4.2.2
CyanogenMod 10.1 -20130808 -unofficial-saga
kernel version: 3.0.84-g0263617
radio (baseband version): 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_m
Hboot:
saga put ship s-off RL
hboot 6.98.1002
radio: 3822.10.08.04_m
I hope there are some things I have overlooked, because it would be so great if wifi could be fixed.
Thanks in advance!
flash the latest kernel by flinny, it should resolve the wifi issue,
Clean install is preferred when u change ROMS.

Just to clear things up. Do you mean the andromadus kernel? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097379
edit:
I've flashed the andromadus kernel by kylon. Kernel version 3.0.101. Wifi still isn't working.
I can't find the kernel by flinny. Do you have a link?
