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?

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)
Hi,
I am getting random reboot and than my wireless connection gives error and never getting on. So I remove the battery for few minutes and replace it back, then after I start I can use wireless connection for quite short time(like 10-15min) and it gets frozen for few seconds and then reboot again and I get the same wireless error again. I am getting this error in every Rom.
I actually got this problem after I got into ICS.
I have tried to install latest Radio, Bricked-kernel, Sebastian kernel, HTC-Dev unlock. None of them worked so I decided to write you guys.
Please give me something to fix my HTC Sensation till I am getting crazy.
Thanks in advance.
What firmware do you have?
Also, I've heard that HTC Unlock method is not as good as Revolutionary so maybe that's what causes problems?

This is not kernel related issue, you have to flash ICS _ OTA here is the link for you HERE

I have the latest firmware for Sensation that is called "Firmware from 3.32.401.x & 3.32.401.10x RUU"
Okay, so flash OTA mentioned few posts above, do superwipe and try to flash some ROMs again.
If it doesn't help maybe it's hardware related issue.
One more thing: have you tried WiFi on GB ROMs?

If OTA doesent help, than stock rom is last resort prior to declare hardware failure My opinion...

Yeah, I totally agree, but flash stock when you're 100% sure it's hardware issue.

It used to work with GB but I got this problem since I got into ICS with some radio updates and so on. It still works but no longer than 15mins and then it stop working or it reboot itself and never come back until I take out battery for a few minutes.
I will try OTA with roms that I have. do you recommend a rom that works good with OTA?
Thanks
I tried on Elegancia and ARHD both worked just fine. I think that i sent you link for RUU Prepared as PG58IMG? So in case that ota doesent help, than something is messed up with your software, flash the ruu that i send you link abd you will maintain s-off no worries

Any suggestions?
So I got myself a Desire S.
Problem is, everytime I switch the WIFI toggle to ON, it would say
"Turning On..."
for a little bit, then It would say "Error", and everytime I try to toggle the BLUETOOTH to ON, it would say the same and just returns to "OFF" position.
Status of the phone before rooting and flashing:
"LOCKED"
SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT: 2.000.20
Radio: .....10.08.04_M
I tried flashing several ROMS including the Kernel(BOOT.IMG) via Fastboot;
Virtous Quattro RC3
Reaper V3
IceColdSandwich 7.5
CM7.1 NIGHTLY
also tried flashing to stock RUU with Radio and HBOOT versions;
Gingerbread 2.3.3 --> Europe and Asia Versions
Gingerbread 2.3.5 --> Europe, Asia, India Versions
Currently on Stock Gingerbread 2.3.5 Rooted through Superoneclick
Until now the issue persists. I'm wifi and bluetooth less.
I've tried searching Google, found some "USB-BRICK" topic on the DESIRE forum, didn't work.
Motorola forum, mentioned a reflash of the Radio.
HTCDesireSForum mentioned a reflash of HBOOT and Radio.
Here in XDA, it mentions that in flashing ROMS, on HBOOT 2.00.20 you have to flash BOOT.IMG from the zip file of the rom via Fastboot.
Tried and failed. I'm beginning to think this is a hardware issue.
Anyone with an idea why or to a solution?
nobody? I haven't found any solutions so far. I really hope someone could help or atleast point me in the right direction
Any updates on your issue?
Have you tried bringing it in to service centers? It looks like a hardware problem.
your issue should just revolve around changing hboot, radio and rom.. I cant think of anything that could affect those hardware..

unfortunately no. I didn't give it anymore thought since I'm using it only for camera and music.
Have you tried the latest radio.. I think its worth a try..
Flash hboot of your choice and the latest radio and stable Rom choice.
I really don't think these hardware break that easily..

I'm not sure about the bluetooth, but I may have a fix for the WiFi.
I have a One S and I started getting the same error when I tried to turn on the WiFi. It turned out that my wpa_supplicant.conf file became corrupt somehow. I just deleted /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf and it fixed the problem.
Wifi problem
Dear XDA!
I'm a new member in here. I downloaded softwers from here.It's working correctly. Yesterday I upload the Fallout 4.3 software then the wifi connection is failed. I try another software Nik Project X and the problem was the same.
Somebody could help me?
Thank you!

Open your own thread. Don't jump on the end of someone else's thread unless you are contributing or you have exactly the same issue - which you don't.
Wi-Fi won't turn on.
I have created bugreport on phone.. Not quite sure what to do right now (Where to send it, etc..) >.>
I have ViperS 3.0.2 on HTC Sensation XE. (S-ON)
When I go to settings, and tick on the Wi-Fi, phone tries to turn it on, then it just says ''Error'' after some time.
Wi-Fi worked perfectly earlier today, but maybe the update from 3.0.1 to 3.0.2 caused some problems.
(I updated today, then, turned Wi-Fi off after the update. Now the Wi-fi won't turn on)
The only mod I have installed on phone is the White keyboard. And then I have done some tweaks using Venom tweaks.
It could be hardware problem too, I guess..
Any help/ideas?
I'm not sure is it smart to upload the .zip of bugreport here, since it MAY contain something personal info. (I really have NO idea, but I don't want to risk it yet)
Some of you may have noticed this in Venom thread, but I figured it might be more appropriate to post it here.
Just tell me if you need extra info about phone..
E: Apparently several people had the same problem with CM10.1.
However, they weren't very helpful.. :/
Or should I try upgrading Kernel too? (I'd rather not, so if there is easier way, that would be great)
There was some info, that this kernel should be flashed, and that would fix the wi-fi problem..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39842159&postcount=533
However, the file doesn't exist anymore.. :/
DOUBLE-EDIT: I am now going to re-flash the 3.0.1, which seems to work just fine. But I would love to use 3.0.2, so if anyone has answers, please, do help.
Sorry for wall of text.

do as i said in my previous post
My Nexus 5 which I upgraded from a 5.01 to the 5.1 (stock Google rom, without wipe) has a very big battery problem: the device never reaches deep sleep.
I have some years experience in identifying wakelocks, but this wakelock is new. And the strange thing is: I can't even find a thing on Google. Nothing!
The wakelock is a kernelwakelock (PowerManagerService.Wakelocks). I investigated at partial wakelocks which wakelock it is. It's a wakelock called 'ProxyController'. It's related to the phone process/app.
I wiped cache, tried different Kernel (elementalx). Changed CPU gov, wiped dalvik, changed network, refreshed some settings. Disabled unused apps. I even reinstalled the image and other files through recovery. But nothing helps.
Also I noticed, it might be related, that sometimes my phone reboots or it looses sim and signal. (Which worked perfect in 5.01!). All problems started after 5.1 upgrade.
Ofcourse I can do a full wipe, or revert back or try a custom rom. But I hope it is possible to fix, because besides these weird problems it was / is perfect!
Edit: Important, I couldn't be called either. Also calling someone was difficult and the phone process kept freezing. My phone (and then the phone part) was totally broken! Radio of 5.01 did fix. Read comments below!
Have you tried flashing an older radio.img version and/or a clean flash?

I tried a clean flash now. I didn't only have a wakelock but nobody could call me either.
Also sometimes the phone process did get frozen.
Now I tried a wipe and totally clean install with other installer (The Google original images and installer!). I did not install any other new unneeded apps. And I still have the problem.
I think I will try an older radio now. Very strange... My phone became unusable after the upgrade from 5.01 to 5.1. This looks to be some major bug.

If it happens with a completely clean flash with nothing installed, and with every radio version, then it could be a hardware problem.
But yeah, try an older radio version.

Yes I fear that too.
However, it started immediately after the 5.1 upgrade, before all was good...
It also seems there might be a link with screenoff/standby. When it's in standby and I switch the device on I see it has no connection or is reconnecting. As if something goes wrong with the connection then. Maybe important information.
I will investigate further. Ofcourse all new tips, ideas and infos are welcome. I will also keep you updated.
Update:
Flashed 5.01 radio into my 5.1. Now it SEEMS to be fixed. Phone goes to deep sleep, I can call people without crashing and I can be called. For now. But don't cheer to early, I have only tested for 10 minutes.
So it seems to be something completely wrong in this radio in combination with my device or simcard or provider. I am using Vodafone NL.
Update: a few days later. Running 5.1 rom with 5.01 radio and all seems ok and fixed!

Hello. I am running this Radio (2.0.50.2.22) since my last post, A couple of days. I am experiencing no problems as far as I can tell. It seems to work well and the big problems seem to be gone.
I can advise you to flash this Radio from the 5.01 packages. Big chance your problems will be fixed.
Strange that there is only one other person for now. I am thinking what we could have in common. What is your provider?

Hi,
Thank you for your quick answer. I'll try it first thing in the morning.
It is weird indeed.. My provider is the equivalent of Orange. As with you, it only started to happen after the update to 5.1.
I'll report back. Thanks!
