Issue with the newly released update for Desire S ?

Hi there. Recently I reset my phone and while setting up I got an alert for update for my Desire S, about 35 mb. After updation my current version details are :
Code:
Kernel version now is
2.6.35.10-g2ee27f5
[email protected] # 1
Wed Jun 8 19:20:03 CST 2011
Build number is
1.47.720.1 CL 78999 release-keys
Software Number
1.47.720.1
The problem I am facing is frequent network disconnections even though the network strength is good. The interval is not fixed. Sometimes it works fine for 5-6 hrs, sometimes keeps getting disconnected every half hour. I tried removing battery, sim card and re inserting, nothing works. Anyone else facing this issue ? What can I do to solve this ?

network disonections?? wifi or mobile network?

Mobile network. I did not test WiFi. I tried giving manual network selection as well as automatic, problem is still same.

If u want data connection always to be on, you have to make sure that in settings this option is ticked. I have dutch language, so I don't know how it's called exactly, but has to be something like "keep data always on"

The issue is not data connection. If I tick "keep data always on", it is like telling I want to be continuously connected to my GPRS/EDGE connection. My issue has nothing to do with mobile internet. It is the basic network connectivity. Simple GSM signal.

My girlfriend has the same problem after the last update and i have heard more complaints, i want to unlock that one and put some custom ROM flavor on it

What's your baseband (radio) version? Maybe an update of that will help...
Check developer threads on how to do that. You'll find the latest radio versions as well as older ones there for download. Hope this helps.

I am sorry I did not understand that. If you are talking about the frequency then my carrier frequency is 1800Mhz.

The "radio baseband" is simply said the driver for GSM, WLAN, Bluetooth etc.
You can check the version you got in the phone info... should be in-between "android version" and "kernel"...
I assume you don't have S-Off, right? In case not, you can't update the radio, so my above post is useless.
I'd suggest to try a reset again (holding vol down and power when booting the phone and then do a factory reset, not the reset via >> settings >> privacy), or bring your phone back and have it replaced in warranty...

since your signal was good before update its probably a radio issue if so you can s-off your device & try a different radio or you can do a factory reset

@original poster.
I can confirm I have this issue since the last update, exactly the same symptoms as you. In the previous 4 months of ownership I never had this problem occur even once. I have read several reports of this issue on different forums. I personally haven't done a factory reset because it takes too much to reconfigure my phone. On another forum a user claims to have tried a factory reset and it made no difference.

Ok. The baseband version I curently have is
Code:
20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M
I have S-ON. After reset, should I install these new updates again.

The updates should be installed already, so no need to install them again. I'd suggest to backup your apps and sms with "my backup" first, so life is a bit easier when setting it up again. ;-)
The reset via bootloader takes quite some time, so no worries if your phone seems not to be doing anything for several minutes!

Oh ! So even if I reset, the updates won't be rolled back ? So if the problem was with the update, the issue will still remain ?

if you dont want to do a reset you can s-off & then go back to a older radio
if you want to have s-on then you can follow this guide & return to a RUU with the older radio in it

S-Offing your device is a good alternative, that's true. But if you're not into this, then you better leave it. Check out the developer section for this ("Revolutionary").
So... Yeah, system updates will still be there. However, a "deep reset" can help because everything is initialized again from scratch. No guarantee that it will be ok afterwards, but it's sure worth to give it a try!
However, before doing a reset via bootloader, check out if thereis an RUU for your provider. If so, use the RUU instead of a reset in bootloader. This will flash your phone software completely new. Run the program, and it will tell you what to do.
If there's no RUU available that fits you, then do the reset via bootloader.

Interesting. After reseting the phone via bootloader, network issue seems to be fixed. I will check for few days and post back here if the issue exists.

check this thread, this might help:

I can`t enable internet in MIUI

After installing MIUI I can`t enable data transfer (2g/3g internet). Data transfer is turning on, but there is no 2g/3g logo and internet. This happens after installing all MIUI stock and custom roms. APN settings is correct, before it was ok. I`m installing via Clockwork recovery v5. Device is G2x (P999)
What should I do? How to enable it?

I believe for the g2x you should see an H next to the bars, that is if you are in a good service area.
Otherwise I think it also shows G, and E.
If it doesn't have anything at all, then I'm not sure.
Does the internet work when you go inti the browser?

I'm having the same issue....
im using rg2x right now and the only way to fix it is with a hard reboot every time i turn my phone back on

try reflashing the faux kernel it worked for me to fix a problem i had not being able to turn my wifi on it should work for you too
what i have a problem is the backupp app does nto work for me im runing rg2x miui by richie

Yah I have the same problem, I notice it works but when you use WiFi then your done w/ the wifi and shut it off the regular cell data never comes back on - You have to completely reboot the phone...I'm using SINGH-UI - same thing

I`ve tried SINGH UI too, as I remember wi-fi is on by defalut, isn`t it? So, I turned it off, and use my phone few days. Rebooted it few times, but data not worked ((

I had this problem before, go to ur APNs and go to authentication and make the authentication "None" instead of "Not set". That will enable ur data

Hey go to SETTINGS->MOBILE NETWORKS->ACCESS POINT NAMES-> in here select option button in your android phone, in the menu select NEW APN, you will get the APN settings as seen in this. In the link ACCESS NUMBER = SERVER in mobile.
As I am not allowed to post link for first ten TIMES! will guide you through
google search -> "vodafone apn address" the third result will be GPRS APN Settings with Username and Password - Modem Unlock. Click it and follow the method above mentioned.

Question was asked and answered.

Anyone getting market download errors (495) when trying to update?

I have no success updating my apps, I get an error 495 for the updates. I have cleared the cache, and still persists. Any ideas?

Having this issue as well after updating to the new Google Play app. Although, I'm unsure of whether it's the apps fault or the fact that I got a new modem. Will be testing with another wi-fi connection today.

Maybe synchronization with your Google account? You could try to go to settings and synch your account or remove it and re-add it. Things like that. If you did everything you could with the app then the account may just be acting up.
I've noticed the Market/Play will tell me an update is available when it's not and randomly the tablet will tell me to log into Google account with no loss on WiFi connectivity. I usually reboot to solve that. Good luck.

are you rooted? i have the same problem when updating apps. it justs hangs there.

problem fixed at last!!!
I finally managed to solve the problem. Just follow these steps, but bear in mind that i'm using a custom ROM so it might be a little different with you. Go to Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile networks > Access Point Names (or APN). Now select the APN that u are using. (I chose MTN Data since i'm MTN. Now go to "Proxy". There should be a number in there, delete everything that's in there and leave that field blank. Go to "Port" and clear everything as well. It worked for me.hope it works for u too. Let me know.

Yeee Peeeee!!!

Sensation XE: "Has stopped unexpectedly" Errors

I hope someone can help with my issue which has made my HTC Sensation XE fairly un-usable.
About a month ago, I started to randomly get similar error messages when using different functions of my phone.
For example, when trying to access my text messages, I would get the error "Messages stopped unexpectedly. Would you like to tell HTC" when trying to access the Messages function. As a result, I installed GO SMS Pro to workaround this issue.
I would get a similar message when trying to access the People function to browse my contacts or when trying to access my recently received calls list.
Thinking that a factory reset would solve this issue, I did this earlier today but, un-fortunately, this has not solved the issue and, in fact, it appears to be worse as I am getting this message more frequently when trying to use various functions.
For example, from the brief tests I have done, it is affecting:
WiFi - I am un-able to select my home WiFi network
People - I am un-able to browse my contacts
Calendar - I am un-able to view my Calendar
Weather - I am un-able to amend Weather settings
Due to this issue, the phone only has basic us-able functionality which, as you can appreciate, is a complete pain.
Can anyone advise/suggest how to resolve?
I've tried to find a solution on the internet without much luck.
For information, it is a stock HTC Sensation XE purchased a year ago.

Unfortunately, reboot makes no difference.

Not receiving service, data or WiFi after flashing Viper One to HTC One M8

Hello, I recently flashed my HTC One M8 on VZW, but to my dismay the phone now has no service, mobile data, or Wifi. On the device the option to enable Wifi is grayed out, and the mobile service says "Disconnected". Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: I managed to return the device to the Verizon store, that was lucky, I tried all of your suggestions and none seemed to work and that was my only option. Thank you

What option did you select on the carrier screen in aroma? Should have been default for Verizon. Did you check md5 before flash? Which recovery are you using?

Its not a brick. You can still flash other ROMs. Flash Skyfall (I personally use this ROM and it works flawless and very close to stock) and see if everything works for you. Also make sure you do factory reset before flashing it. Do not flash any kernels or anything after flashing the ROM.
If everything works, it means something went wrong with your Viper install. I would recommend redownloading it and then trying again after you have tried the above.

That's not a brick :/ Make sure you're using this version of twrp,
