[HTC Desire S] MyroLM:
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+ nexx@android-dev #1

Radio: 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M
[HTC Desire S] mouzzza:
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!
[HTC Desire S] MyroLM:
Which radio version are you using?

Today I am testing 2G only switch so I am on EDGE data only.
[HTC Desire S] foX2delta:
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.
[HTC Desire S] MyroLM:
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?
[HTC Desire S] mouzzza:
no need

this file is what ur looking for! check md5-checksum before flashing!

Both will work, i'm using method by using bootloader normaly
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
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
[HTC Desire S] MyroLM:
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 ... ?
[HTC Desire S] MyroLM:
After each flash wiped cache and Dalvik...
[HTC Desire S] mouzzza:
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!
[HTC Desire S] MyroLM:
Yes, correct number every time.

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 ??
[HTC Desire S] mouzzza:
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!
[HTC Desire S] MyroLM:
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.
[HTC Desire S] mouzzza:
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:D

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:rolleyes:
[HTC Desire S] Green Hawk:
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!
[HTC Desire S] MyroLM:
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 :-)
[HTC Desire S] mouzzza:
@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
[HTC Desire S] MyroLM:
I am still testing new radio, but looks good :-) Give me some days let you know...
[HTC Desire S] Wrapp:
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
[HTC Desire S] a544jh:
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... :o 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)
[HTC Desire S] Wrapp:
Everything strange...??!? Was sure to have the latest radio, but file size is different from the one posted above.

Will try again now. Thanks for all your help, GREAT FORUM

Wrapp
[HTC Desire S] mouzzza:
@Wrap:

Had same problems on MIUI sometimes, maybe because i was flashing other roms and restoring backups afterwards.

Herefore i would do the following steps:

Try to fix with "Wifi Fixer", an app from market

If this doesn't work wipe cache/dalvik

may installing CM again without wiping data will help at last

Edit:

Haven't read your second post before, but if you sill have problems with WIFI do the steps i've listed above
[HTC Desire S] MyroLM:
So here are the results:

After flashing new radio my problem dissapeared :-) signal is strong and stable everywhere. Thanks for your help guys :-)

Is it just me or any one else experienced extreme slow charging on their Droid razr?

USB charging from my PC.. It was almost 3 times faster to charge my previous lg optimus 7 and blackberry storm.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tech_head:
Yes....... AND....

Those other phone don't draw nearly as much power as a Razr.

So the typical PC does not put out 750mA on USB because the spec says they only need to put out 500mA. If you are using the phone while connected to USB it may never charge. It won't drain either.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Adauth:
Agreed. Wall charger is best.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
I've not noticed anything out of the ordinary with USB charging vs. past phones I've owned, but have found it charges abnormally fast when connected to a wall charger.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] reaperzero:
PC= trickle charge. its like trying to fill a bath tub with an iv drip
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vash_h:
Lol.. Understood.. Off to the phone shop and get another wall charger then..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
Or just get a USB-to-AC adaptor.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vash_h:
Do you mean AC to USB adapter? That's exactly what I plasm to buy :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dey.santanu2011:
Get a battery monitor app, put it on the charge, see how much charge is actually flowing to the battery... with a 1750 mAHr battery, you can guess the charging time..

From my packard bell laptop with USB charging it gets 850 milliamp...so charging time is around 2 hours.... from a Wall charger it gets 1100 milliamp, so 1.5 hours is enough....

From my HP laptop it has the charging of 450-500 milliamp so it takes around 3 hours...

I have used the manufacturer of the laptop because each USB chipset has its maximum power rating... USB 2 had 500 milliamp at max and USB 3.0 has 900 milliamp of power rating...... so it depends which chipset you are using and which port you are connecting to.....

If getting more confused, try the standard AC charger..... :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nameless912:
Also, I think you should make sure to put your phone on airplane mode (or at least turn 4g off) and turn the brightness down while you're charging. This way, more power goes to charging and less to battery draining stuff.

AND if you're willing to spend a little cash, (or you buy your phones at Costco like me) you can get one of the multimedia dock thingies from motorola. It literally charges in 3 hours on there.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vash_h:
Lol.. A wall charger will do fine for me. I've been scouting for the dock, to use webtop application.. But I can't find out over here on Malaysia.

I did find a great widget, battery info, which when discharging, it will display percentage of battery left, and remaining standby time.

However, the best part is, when charging, out will inform you time left to achieve 100% charge.. Its really cool..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] reaperzero:
... i kinda gave up looking for one.... heck even trying to find the dock for the altrix is a pain... just need to modify the plugs and we can use webtop
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vash_h:
Modify what plugs? care to share? I'm interested on this hack..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shadowdancer123:
Math lesson!

The battery is 1750 mAh, that is milli ampere hours.

As such, it will supply 1750 mA, for one hour.

Charging is the same but backwards, 500mA is what the USB port on your PC supplies.

That gives 3,5 hours to supply the battery the required power, assuming 100% efficiency.

But lithium batteries need a trickle charge from 90% to 100%, so that last bit is usually performed in 1 hour, independent of what mAh the battery has.

So on our razr that last 175 mAh will always take one hour to charge.

So that means that we charge 1575mah at a fast speed, that leaves 3,15 hours to charge using USB, and 1 hour to top charge.

That'll give you 4 hours and 15 minutes through the computers USB. =)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] reaperzero:
some dude just opened the dock and extended the plugs. the altrix dock plugs are on the side. he just extended them to the top
[Motorola Droid RAZR] charles47:
Im probably not as heavy a user as some....but Ive noticed the same thing. I unplug my phone at 7:30 and plug it back in at 9-10 at night usually with 20% left and when I stay up late Ive noticed it takes seemingly forever to charge.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ddemlong:
I believe it recommended it either the online manual or the quick start up manual to use the charger that it came with. It stated that other brands or 3rd party may not charge the RAZR fast enough resulting with slower than usual charge times.

I have even heard of some people loosing power while it was plugged in and being used. I believe the 3rd party chargers were to blame Like others have said, the USB charging taking FOREVER, a car charger is a little better but not much.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stupidchicken03:
If you download Battery Indicator Pro (from the market) you can set an option on how fast you want the battery to charge via AC outlet or USB.

Will also give you a 1% increment battery display :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] raghav.glass:
The Motorola razr can support upto a 1000ma charger..... technically, it means that if u pop it in the wall charger it will charge at 850ma per hour... it will have a full charge in 2 hours.... but a USB port on the PC or laptop is capable of providing only 500ma, so theoretically, it will take more than 4 hours for a full charge....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] almwaysa:
I just bought razr after owning SGS1 for over 1.5yrs.

the usb charging is unnormally slow! even compared to SGS1 which has 1500mAh.

with SGS1 I used to use it for usb tethering and it charges in about 5 hours to full WHILE TETHERING!

But on Razr idle phone takes around an hour for every 5-10% of battery which is a lot!

I am wondering if there is any kernel fix or workaround that speeds up the usb charging, because this is not natural.

4 hours or even 6 hours is very reasonable charging time, but anything more than that is a lot.

I am thinking there is something wrong kernel wise.

edit: even comparing to HTC EVO 3D which has almost same battery capacity [1730 vs 1750] charges a lot faster than RAZR. and I do mean A LOT!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DanielMod:
This is the same exactly issue I'm having here,the Razr is charging extremely slow even with a 1000ma charger (official is 850ma).

Someone here said i cant exceed 1000ma charger,why? and is that true?

I just need fast charging,sorry for asking that in someone else thread but it could help two :).
