[Q] Signal Problems HTC Sensation 4G

Hey guys I have an T-Mobile HTC Sensation 4G, I've unlocked it and now i am using AT&T. Currently i have problems with my signal being cut out or extremely weak when i'm in my house, and in some areas. Sometime my 3G Data doesnt work and it wont load facebook or any website on the browser. I have tried many Roms and they are mostly the same problem with signal. Sorry i'm still a noob about this stuff.
Any idea how to fix this? Thanks in advance

I dont know if this will help but it will help you change signals. Press *#*#4636#*#* you will see a menu come up. Scroll down to see what you signal is locked on then you can press and another menu will come up with different signal options. You can choose the option you want, then scroll down to press refresh. A series of numbers will come up on line and your good to go. I use this method to lock on to my H signal so it does not switch. Like I said, not sure if it will work in your case but its worth a try! Good luck and I do hope this helps !

Sure, have a look a this thread.
Best advice, read, read, read and understand what you read. Flashing a Radio can brick your phone, but when done correctly it's practically failsafe.

Is the radio working good for you?

I'm completely stock with the following software:
Android 4.0.4
firmware 2.31.401.5
baseband 1.06es.50.02.31_10.09a.50.04L
I'm not at all satisfied with the 3g connectivity. Too often it continuously switches between 3g and HSDPA while browsing, even when the network indicator shows 4 or 5 lines.
What's the matter? This is a major flaw of this phone.

hmm that sounds like fast dormancy... which allows the phone to switch fast between 3d and hspa...
although if your company doesnt support it, then it causes problems ...s o might want to change settings and disable fast dormancy

How do we do this? I can't find a setting for this.

Wow, thanks. I didn't even know what fast dormancy was!
But from what I've looked up on google, fast dormancy should be involved in putting the 3g connectivity in a low power mode when in standby. So that if it isn't supported by the carrier the phone draws more battery because it never goes to low power mode. I think my issue is something different.
Anyway, how am I supposed to disable it?

depends on the rom... viper tweaks has a button where u can turn it off...
on other roms.. the thread with "Fast Data on 3rd Party roms"... has the guide to change build.prop

I see, thanks. The problem is that I haven't unlocked, so no root for me... :crying:
But am I the only one experiencing this?

No! I've the same problem

Yes, when it's switching over and over between 3g and HSDPA it doesn't load data at all.

Hello
I have the same problem.
Baseband : 1.08ts.50.02.16_10.08e.50.04H
I'm from France, and me too it switches all time between 3G and H, I get no data with full bars.
I don't know what is wrong, I use Baked BlackBean, I tried all 3G hack but no differences.
I don't know what to do ...

Try another radio version, you can flash them via CWM or TWRP (have tested both, prefer TWRP)!
Older version like 1.06 or 0.16 should work (be carefull not to catch the us-version)..

I'm having similar issue with a tmous one s. I was running axiom s for a while with no issues. Wanted to move to baked and mobile data failed. Icon would switch between 3G and H and no data. WiFi worked fine. I have baseband 1.06es.50.02.31_10.09a.50.04L. Flashed back to axiom and it seems to be back to normal although I do get connection time out when using play store searching or updating. Maybe incompatible radio?
Also, before trying baked, I installed trick droid v7 for tmous and got WiFi connection issues. Would just blink rapidly but never connect. Found another thread regarding this issue but no solution. Maybe related.

That's weird I had the 1.08tsxxx radio when I tried baked. I did try to flash the 1.06es but it didn't seem to take. Now I'm thinking maybe it did? I'll try baked again and post back.

Flashed every thing again, it did change the baseband to the 1.08tsxxx but all is well. After I flashed and set everything up, I left it sit on wifi for a while and when I tried mobile data it was fine.

So, did the Jelly Bean OTA fix the 3g/H switching issue?
Thanks

thanks friend, i will try to change the sim card an test if the problem still continue, good idea, thanks.

Is that the 2.3.3 baseband? Maybe is a baseband issue, try flashing the baseband fix. Also download the app GetRIL from the app market. It's free. Make sure your RIL and Baseband are matching.
