[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?

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)

HELP! No signal/mobile internet

If anyone can help me and get this working, I will send you $5 via paypal.
Okay so I have fairly decent knowledge of roms/kernels/flashing etc. but I just don't know what to do to fix this problem.
It seems to have happened after I've;
Used the app - Network Speed Booster
Flashed a new rom
Changed the APN (Worked fine)
What I've Tried
- Flashing a new ROM
- Reflashing current ROM
- Flashing a different kernel
- Changing the radio band
- Resetting the APN to default
- A different SIM
Baseband - I9020XXJK8
Thanks to anyone who helps! If you tell me how to get it working, I will PM you saying that I will send you 5$ paypal.

Is the IMEI on the back of your phone (behind battery) the same as the one it shows you in settings -> about?

i had same issues

Thanks for the reply, I will try that rom and kernel now and will post results later.

why don't you just use the stock rom without any changes???!!! i haven't encountred issues since the 4.0.4 is out..

In this case i wouldn't bother with custom ROMs. Grab yourself a stock ROM from the sticky, do your backups and wipes (data/factory reset, format /system, format /boot) and then flash the FULL ROM from the sticky.
This will require you to reroot. I would throw the latest superuser.zip on your sdcard and flash that immediately after flashing your new ROM to make it easier for you.

Can you try a stock rom?
Here's a list.

When troubleshooting something like this, stock is by far the best option. He is free to do what he wants after the problem and cause are found and fixed.

[Q] Can't Connect to Wifi

I searched around and couldn't find a definitive answer. The problem I'm having is connecting to wifi at all.
After getting a phone replacement, I unlocked the bootloader, flashed CWM recovery, rooted, flashed CM 10 nightly 09/29 and GApps but when I booted, I could not connect to wifi at all...I can't even turn on wifi because the toggle is greyed out. I have tried reflashing several times and even tried a different rom. but still no luck. Anyone else have this problem or know how I can fix it? I rely heavily on wifi because of ****ty data in my dorm. Any help would be much appreciated!

Hello,
What was the version of software on you phone before rooting, was it a T-Mobile phone? The newest version for T-Mobile has created is issues for roms that aren't the same version.

Yep, just found out that was the issue. kinda sucks because I'd rather have jelly bean! Oh well guess I'll deal with no wifi till a fix comes out.

why does the Ruu not work anymore i want to take my phone back to where the wifi works..... i have a cwm backup from before the update but that did not even fix the problem
____EDIT____
Well i got the wifi back. ( and the OTA update ? again )
Relocked the phone boot loader
I opened the RUU
took the Rom.zip from the folder.
took the stock recovery img
flashed the stock recovery img
start the phone back up
downloaded the update again. ( 4.0.4 )
did all the waiting etc
phone powers down reboots applies the updates to it self.
powers back up updating completed
WIFI WORKING.
go to try and do the ruu.exe again but no it says error 140( i think ) wrong bootloader version.
This update changes the bootloader to version 1.14___ So now the phone is non tamperd and says relocked so back to stock ( YAY )(((for now))))( i think lol )
Most importantly the Wifi is working.
If anyone wants i can take and give the files from the RUU ( not the whole zip but what ever img's you want from it ) Just send me a PM i will mail it to ya.

[Q] debranding

ive recently got the p920 and it was locked to orange so ive unlocked it but now i want to get rid of the orange bloatware. I have now rooted and installed CWM recovery and have attempted to install a stock rom now heres were my problem starts the rom installs fine but there baseband doesnt so i dont get a signal ect. so my question is have i done summit wrong when installing from zip in recovery?
Any help with this would be great thanxs.

You mean that your mobile running 2.2 and you install a costum rom (.zip) ??
This costum rom may be a gingerbread rom so you must upgrade your phone officially before flashing costem rom .

yes i can see my imei number
my base band is L6260_MODEM_SIC_01.1042.00
software version LG920-V20D-JUN-27-2012
android version 2.3.5
this is an orange based rom n would like to have it on stock

there is different stocks on different times (first was v10a)
this is not your base band This is INFINEON stuff.. go to market place and take GetRIL
Install. Run, See your base band version.
You can also isntall from there the recommended RIL for your configuration. Wait a minute (do not exit the program). if you do not have still signal - then RESTORE RIL back from the program (the program make a backup of you RIL when you install new one)

I've tried that getril and it said baseband matched but still no imei number once I've installed a custom/stock Rom. Looks like ill have to keep the orange Rom
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda premium

IMO getril is pretty useless and most of the time you're better off when they don't match.
Why are you uncomfortable flashing a baseband? Its not as simple as a zip and can be a pain but once you get it, you have so many more options.

I couldn't understand the question clearly .
Could explain it to me??!
If the WiFi didn't work after flashing the latest firmware I think you should Check the ftf file maybe it's not for c2105 (or you mobile model) COZ I read that the different between these two devices is just networking, So get the suitable one for your device model(if this was the question)

I re flashed original firmware,

Try this it may work:
First of all try to change the ftf file (download other one)
If didn't work flash this boot.IMG via fastboot on stock ROM just on stock ROM.
After flashing it flash the kernal and Fota kernal from the same ftf via flashtool .
As I told you flash it on stock ROM then flash the kernal and the fora kernal

Thanks to @Joel16 for the link
I mean by kernal the kernal in the ftf exclude everything while flashing in flashtool except the kernal and the fota kernal

I'm having the same issue. But it started out of nowhere, so I'm guessing its a hardware problem.
After it happened, I flashed almost every kind of ROM and Kernel around here. Nothing worked.
Also I flashed the official Sony's firmware for my country and it still not working.
Tried the PC Companion's repair function, didn't work too.
When I try to turn WIFI on, I get a "fail to load wifi driver" message at logcat.
I'm not new into flashing ROMs, so I'm almost sure it is not a system issue despite the error message I get.
