1.85 Mobile Network Issues

I was just curious if anyone, other than myself, is having mobile network issues with there one x still even on the newest radio and software?
The issue I am talking about is when you go to use your phone and you pick it up and it has no service at all with a X on the signal bars until you turn it on and off again or in some instances you have signal bars but you can't make a call, send or receive a message, or surf the web until once again you reboot the phone or swap it in and out of airplane mode.
I was just curious if anyone has a solution for this or ideas... ironically when I updated to 1.85 it was fine for an entire day then the next day I rooted and installed a different ROM and the issue came back. Could be timing or not related but I have no idea.
Thoughts?

Happens all the time on 1.73. I've held off upgrading because I've heard of people having fun (and by fun, I mean lotsaproblems) on 1.85.

Same here. Still on stock as well. Especially since I'm not experiencing any major issues with the phone.

Only thing thats really starting to frustrate me are all the double texts/retry sending notifications.

I have had a problem where the phone thinks it has signal, data works fine but you cannot make calls or send texts until you reboot or go into airplane mode.
This happened on 1.73, 1.82 and now 1.85

It has happened to me on all versions. I was told I could exchange mine, but they have none in stock. Another pain in the butt is that I'm not receiving text messages at times. Really becoming a nuisance.

Happens rarely but all I do is toggle airplane mode and its fixed. Takes like 5 seconds. No biggie.

I believe mine started after I rooted as well... I wonder if the root is doing something that interferes with the radio working correctly or something along those lines.

Its the main reason I updated. Even when going from HSPA+ to LTE I would have to reboot the phone while stock. 1.82 did nothing to fix the issue but since I've been on 1.85 I've not experienced the problem. Multitasking is, imo, unchanged.

Yeah. Happens regularly when I am travelling some distance by car and occasionally in the city (maybe every two days while I remain in the city). I'm on rooted stock but it was happening even with un-rooted stock. I hope HTC fixes this soon and Rogers pushes out an OTA update as this is sh*tty. Funnily enough, going into airplane mode doesn't seem to fix the issue. Apps that access the Internet just report an error with the network connection.

Rogers HOX looses all signal randomly

Ive noticed since the day i bought it the phone. It happens maybe once every few days and i have to reset the phone. IVe tried taking out the sim card and re seating it to no avail.
Anyone else experience this? Is there a fix? Thx

Try pushing on parts of the back casing, just enough pressure to push the plastic inwards.
If you get a jump in reception consistently just do an RMA to get it fixed.

I had to exchange one of my HOXs because of this. Tried reflashing ROM, radio, even stock RUU to no avail. I say swap it out.

Does it matter that im over my 30 days? I sure hope they dont check to see if its been re-locked Yay, ill be without a phone for 4 days

AT&T didn't check a single one of mine, I don't know about Rogers. I don't know what the warranty laws are like in Canada but I would assume if it's a legitimate hardware issue they pretty much have to exchange it for you. I would try my suggestions first though.

Install a radio 1,88 or higher. Development thread. Should fix it. Did mine.

Huge Network Issues (TMO)

I just recently completed a move from Vegas to Phoenix. Upon arriving i saw that my mobile network just constantly bounced from edge to none to 4g to 3g and nothing ever above 2 bars. no matter where i go, thats the way it is. even when other people with TMO are right next to me and have perfect service. i finally bit the bullet and went into the tmo store and basically the guy told me that i had to get a new phone. My current rom is paranoid android but it does the same on AOSP MIUI and sense 4 viper rom. havent tried any others because i figure i have most of my bases covered there. ive flashed every combination of radio and RIL possible and it does the same thing. when i went in, they gave me a new sim card because they said my sim card was "2G" but seemed to pick up 4g just fine in vegas with 0 issues.
did my phone just really magically break while driving i guess?
another note: it seems worst when sending text messages, like ill recieve one with 2 bars of 3g, type it out, hit send, right after i hit send it just drops the service and says message cannot be delivered. i just have to keep getting it sent back and send it again until it finally goes through. this issue is very very frustrating. thanks for any help you guys can give me, i do want to get a new phone but need this one to work until i can afford it. oh yeah, newest firmware if that matters but i hadnt even updated it before i got out here, it was just one of things i tried to fix it. NOTHING has worked or even helped a little bit.

You and I live in different ends of the US but we seem to have the same issue. My wife has a Sensation also and has good signal most places when I can be right beside her and have no signal, just like right now, I will be lucky to get this to send. I too have tried several radios and RIL's also. I got some advice from mf2112 a short while back. I am just now going to look into it further. Check the pins that make connection to the back cover and make sure they all are making good connection. I am checking mine as soon as I get home, I am sick of not having signal when I know I should.

Hey guys i have an advice the same happened with me and i installed the official ruu with european radio and ril and it just went fine from there and after that i installed many roms(i lost the count anyway)it worked fine 4me try it out bestof luck

I just checked my connections and even lightly cleaned the dust off of them to see if maybe that was the issue. actually seems like it helped a little but not enough to solve the issue. it was definitely worth a shot though. might be placebo effect tho...

are you talking about flashing the actual RUU that says "mod edit: do not flash" or are you talking about the 3.33 firmware from europe? i flashed this firmware and it didnt help my issues. im wondering if i shouldnt try to go back to 100% stock or something this is very frustrating. the guy at the store told me "you know, when you flash things over and over sometimes stuff just breaks" which doesnt make any sense to me. every phone ive ever had i could flash as i please. and i wasnt even heavily flashing anything on this one until i started having this issue.

I have done exactly what the poster has done.
I have done everything... here's what I know
The issue is only from cm9 and aokp.. try flashog hyper nonsense and you shouldn't have issues.. problem is u lose all the aokp settings
It seems.like the issues flux in out.. one day it will work.. one day it wont.. sometimes I.wonder if the tower you are connected to.makes a difference
No,.it.doesn't break from.flashing it.over and over.. the storage is flash so it doesn't have a limit

Random disconnects, HTC One S

My new HTC One S randomly disconnects very often. It will have the bars there, show 4G connectivity, but it won't go to any websites, all outgoing calls stay stuck on dialing, and incoming calls do not work.
I'll reboot the phone twice, and it will work. This happens consistently in locations where a Galaxy S 4G and an HTC Sensation have worked flawlessly.
I have read about this issue on the forum for the HTC One X, but not for the S. This is really disappointing. My HTC Sensation dropped wifi often and the bluetooth range was unusable if you put the phone in your pocket and wear a bluetooth. This phone worked on wi-fi great, and the bluetooth was on par with my old Samsung phones, but this is of no use when it can drop service and not even tell me.
Has anyone else had this problem? I got the phone brand new at a dirt cheap steal price. If this is one of those "yeah that will be fixed in a future update" problems I'd like to know so I can dump it on eBay and get something good before its price depreciates.

I haven't seen that as an issue for most people. Esp the way you describe it. Where did you buy it. Maybe a lemon unloaded on you. You could root and see how it goes. LeeDroid/TrickDroid/Axiom good roms.

The One S and all DC-HSPA+ phones have latency issues when you first use the connection after a long period of no data activity. Latency during that time can be upwards of a second as they negotiate from a sleep state back to DC-HSPA+.

I'm talking 10-15 minutes of waiting before rebooting the phone due to no connectivity. I'll try another ROM & rooting and see what happens.

That length of time is not something I have seen posted anywhere before
Good luck--

Probablt an outdated radio?you could try to supercid,install a newer rom with newer radio..

Try TrickDroid 7.0 or S e n s e i s s i m O, they are on 4.0.4. Are you S4 or S3, it matters.
You don't need Super CID to flash new radio if your HBoot is earlier than .13, just flash thru recovery--ck md5 if provided
TWRP is a good recovery

So HBOOT 1.09 is good to flash radio? Do I need TWRP or can I flash with CWM
T-MobileUS HTC One S

Yes, .09 ok to flash
I like twrp and you can flash thru recovery. With cwm I would use fastboot. Although fastboot is recommended for all radio flashing.

I have exactly the same problem. I constantly put it in and out of airplane mode to "reset" the radios. If its really bad, I end up rebooting several times. There is another thread that's sort of like this. I'm extremely frustrated with this and have tried 4 or 5 different roms and radios. Nothing seems to be working. Thinking about calling it quits on the one s and coughing up the cash for a Nexus.

I've tried several different ROMs & radios to no avail. Same connectivity problem. I'm on S4 so I have a better selection of ROMs. I tried every radio, not simply the newest radio.
My experience with HTC has been a rocky one. First I had the MyTouch 4G on T-Mobile, which was the slowest phone I've used outside the BlackBerry Storm. I had two separate HTC Sensation 4G phones, which were interesting. Some phones connect to wi-fi networks. These two begrudgingly hung off wi-fi networks with 1 or 2 fingers until the wind blew the wrong way and caused them to fall off. The bluetooth signal on both was abysmal - excellent off a desk, but put the phone in your pocket and static would ensue in a manner no Motorola or Samsung device I've used would. Now, the next natural step, no mobile network connectivity without turning airplane on & off.
I love the way HTC devices feel, I love the way HTC Sense works, but at the end of the day, the issues I encounter are just not for me. I dislike the plasticy fingerprint laden back of a Samsung device, and the less impressive UI, but I need these things to functionally work properly all the time - speed, wireless connectivity, mobile network and all. Reading the forums and finding so many complaints on One X connectivity, combined with my past HTC experience, I have a feeling replacing this with another One S isn't going to solve my problem.
Thank you very much for your suggestions, opinions, and input. I highly appreciate it. Should any of my last ditch efforts result in success, I will happily post precisely what I did to make it work. I am rooting for it because it is such a cool damn phone. If nothing works, I am confident HTC will be just fine without a whiny malcontent like myself as a customer.
Thanks again!

Having same issue with tmo one s.

Menu >>Settings>>more>>usage>>mobile network on/off.......recovers/data ok
OR
Reboot phone.... ..recovers/data ok
Stockunrooted

Baseband 0.16.31501S.16_2_10.22.31501S.10L
Contacted HTC and they said they are looking into it with a few others and will call me back.
Will post if I get useful info.
ALSO
Wi-fi is much better...but is still pretty wonky. I have almost stopped using my phone for data. 4G is pretty much useless at this point. Out of town all last week with no wifi available and couldn't use phone because data was always out. Uses all battery as it fails to load page....continues wearing down battery if you give up and let screen turn off. When it happens you almost have to stop the browser or background sync to keep it from wearing down battery.

Yeah, you are going to be stuck with that until T-Mobile releases an update. I flashed the radio from recent European update and it seems to have fixed that issue for me so far.

Thanks for letting us now that the newer radio helps with this problem. I have to restart my phone twice a day most of the time, sometimes three times and it's really annoying. I keep thinking I should just get rid of the phone and get a different one, but then I think, well.... that's more money and they might actually release an update, maybe....

Can you let us know if the new radio you put on fixes the problem? I'm still browsing for a new phone, but if this one works in the meantime, I have an excuse to save myself some hassle.

No 4G after upgrading Hboot

I recently took the plunge and upgraded my Hboot to 2.15. Followed the instructions exactly. Everything went smooth. Installed the updated Carbon and everything was ok. Then I noticed I am not able to get any signal higher than EDGE. I have done all the tricks I know of such as setting network to WCDMA only. The 3G and H will pop up but it will be grayed out. Then it drops down to EDGE again. This is the case on all roms I try. I installed the RUU for Jellybean (RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_TMOUS_3.14.531.11_Radio_1.13.50.05.31_10.30.50.08L_release_309489_signed_ICS_2) Although I don't think it touched the Hboot, it installed fine.I am not sure if the 4G worked because I don't have it at home. But I needed a rooted rom so I reinstalled recovery and installed another rom. Sounds like a hardware problem right? Well it seems that it has happened to several people here on the forum. As well as T-Mobile forums. And it is not an outage since my wife and son get 4G fine on their phones. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Ever thought of installing another Radio?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998270

Yeah using Temporary radio installer . But CM uses radios differently so not sure if that is a factor. I installed a lower RUU which downgraded my Hboot. Reinstalled Viper so we will see how this works. I am sure it is not a hardware problem since it happened at once when I upgraded Hboot and the same for others when they got the Jellyean update.

This is quite a common issue that a few people have faced.
Problem is, so far there seems to be no solution other than to send the phone back to HTC and get the mainboard changed (or apparently by hard bricking your phone and then unbricking it, via JTAG I would guess).
The same issue happened to me a couple weeks ago. I tried every single RUU, firmware, HBOOT, radio, you name it. But no matter what I did the phone was stuck in 2G mode and could only get 3G randomly for a few seconds when first booting up. Ultimately, my phone got hard bricked by an official RUU... go figure.
Not sure why it happens, but some have mentioned that it could be a side effect of upgrading to the Jellybean RUU while being S-OFF.

That's the weird thing. All I did was upgrade the hboot. I don't have 4g at home so I didn't even notice it right away.

Same issue...
I have the same issue with my One S, after upgrading HBoot to 2.15, no more mobile data above 2G. Both TMO and HTC are saying the phone has to be sent in, but out of warranty I'd have to pay for it out of pocket.
So I agree that it seems to be the HBoot upgrade doing it. The ONLY thing I have not tried yet, is downgrading the HBoot <because of the complexity and desire to not screw this phone up even more>.
Looking for solid answers...
