I fixed the problem!

I got completely fed up with it. I have tried EVERY ROM & radio combo, same ****. If I put the sim into an old POS beat up Samsung Galaxy S 4G, it works fine. After spending 4 hours trying every possible fix, I go on craigslist to find a Galaxy 3. I meet someone but they up their price in person and the phone is scratched, so I say screw it.

From this moment on, my HTC One S has not disconnected ONCE!

I thought this only worked on insecure women. If they treat you poorly, look at another and they will shower you with positive attention. It worked on my One S as well. Knock on wood, two days of perfect service. I literally walk around with my laptop downloading large files using barnacle as a wifi hotspot, and have no disconnects.

If your One S isn't working, look at another phone. It will become jealous and prove itself to you.

can i flash the radio from an S4 to an S3?
[HTC One S] Lebo-Wog:

Read on how to install 2.21 RUU. It involves unlocking bootloader, rooting, supersid, flashing stock recovery, relocking bootloader, then running 2.21 ruu

T-MobileUS HTC One S
[HTC One S] Lebo-Wog:
thanks bro, before i start, is the 2.21 a new finware ? and when should we expect it ?

and do u have any links to the 2.21 ?
[HTC One S] fmedrano1977:
2.21 is the latest released update. It's a Euro update but it fixed those issues for me here in the states. The thread for the RUU's is in the development section.

T-MobileUS HTC One S
[HTC One S] Lebo-Wog:
ok thanks mate, its 3;40 am here, i couldn't solve this problem today, so i'll leave it for tomorow....

thanks again.....

and was the 2.21 officially released ? i can't see it on my phone.
[HTC One S] fmedrano1977:
It was an OTA update, I forgot what carrier released it. You'll get the complete rom with the RUU.

T-MobileUS HTC One S
[HTC One S] Lebo-Wog:
thanks again bro, one more question, is there a way to revert back to 1.5x without rooting........ and than wait for 2.21 ?
[HTC One S] fmedrano1977:
It would be possible if you get the RUU that would correspond to your carrier. Supercid is only for those trying to apply an RUU form a different carrier.

[HTC One S] Lebo-Wog:
A duct tape on the back of my sim, to make it fit better, surprise, problem solved..... 4-5 bars, and it stays that way.....

EDIT :

I'M BACK HOME, AND GUESS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BACK :( I SPENT MOST OF MY DAY IN A SUPER STRONG SIGNAL AREA TODAY, IT WAS PERFECT, BUT ONCE I GOT HOME (MY HOME IS 2-3 BARS) THE PROBLEM WENT BACK, YES ITS A SOFTWARE THING.... I GUESS
[HTC One S] thasp:
Same here.

I've tried every radio from this page.

http://ville.giev.de/?page_id=42

Are there other radios?
[HTC One S] Lebo-Wog:
the 2.21 radio isn't there, some say it fixes this problem, others say i should go back to my galaxy s2 (but i don't want to :( )

yesterday i was in an area where 3g signal is good, 4-5 bars all the time....

i went back to a poor 3g area, started loosing signal all the time :(

having the phone in GSM only didn't fix the problem .

its a software thing, the phone isn't switching to 2G in 2G areas...... come on this forum is full of genius people, please we need a fix ....

BTW it seems like vodafone uk users have the same problem, Vodafone said that htc released a software uodate that fixes this issue, but its still being tested, how long do e have to wait......
[HTC One S] :
i am on this radio and 2.21 TrickDroid atm--no wifi issues

not sure if it is jusy the combo, but this combo has worked for me so far

[HTC One S] fmedrano1977:
2.21 radio did fix my signal issue problems I had with stock Tmobile US radio.

[HTC One S] :
No, of course not. Not all wifi issues are the same for everyone. I had random/intermittent on/off wifi switching and wifi not turning off after leaving my network area. This has been going on since 1.84 no matter what rom or radio. Now with 2.21 and latest radio it has stopped. Don't know why, just saying--

I actually seem to have better luck with the EU roms, maybe I need to move there. No, then the EU ones won't work and US ones will--

Am currently on TrickDroid 7.1, but, play with Axiom and CM10 also--

I had no issue on LeeDroid, but that was 1.78 EU

So, no solid answer, :confused:
[HTC One S] v3n3:
I had the problem before.

Updating the Radio to 1.06 fixed that Problem.
[HTC One S] Lebo-Wog:
i would love to root and try diffrent radios/roms but rooting this device is so bloody hard, this isn;t my galaxy s2 where rooting and installing a custom rom takes no more than 5 minutes

[HTC One S] Lebo-Wog:
ok i will see what i can do, i'll get to it tomorow, as long as i can relock the bootloader and revert it to stock, i'll do anything to fix this.....
[HTC One S] thasp:
Thank you. I will try this 2.21 radio.

Just for the record, wi-fi on this phone has not caused me any problems. Mobile network connectivity - whether SMS, phone service, or data has been. It will show connectivity but not dial, bring up websites, or send SMS, in the same places & under the same circumstances that an HTC Sensation worked fine.

I will try the radio on this dropbox and report back. Thank you very much for this contribution to my thread, I highly appreciate it!
[HTC One S] Lebo-Wog:
anyone knows where can i get the 2.21 radio ? i unlocked the bootloader and flashed recovery, is it ok to flash the 2.21 radio with 1.78 finware ?
[HTC One S] Lebo-Wog:
and whats the best custom rom out there ? i wanna a stock sense experience, but faster

i hate HTC, worst thing i ever did.....

2.21 fixed my issues

Hi, I had stock UK three ROM and was getting intermittent drop outs on a regular basis. I was constantly having to put phone into airplane mode and back off to regain signal. This was hugely frustrating and continued to happen after rooting phone. I eventually (after much effort) did a supercid to 11111111 and used the latest european 2.21 RUU to flash my phone. Touch wood, I have not had a single drop out since (still less than 24 hours). So in my case, flashing the latest RUU seems to have solved the random drop outs. I don't normally post here but I wanted to let others know that the latest radia/ stock RUU can fix these drop out issues.
[HTC One S] Lebo-Wog:
i flashed the latest rru with no luck...... i got a prepaid sim from another operator just to test it out, the problem was solved with another operator, strange........ i have 2 options, sell this phone in favor of a samsung, or change my network operator.....
[HTC One S] thasp:
I've tried that radio. No issue until just now. 6:22 AM, I try to send a text message,and it doesn't work. I check the internet, and no data. I try to make a phone call, no dialing,and it dies after 20 seconds.

I restart the phone, and it works.

At any given time, this device can stop receiving service. What makes it all the more dangerous to anyone who uses it for business/emergency issues, is that the icons on the top of the device will not reflect this loss of service. You won't notice it until you actually try to use the device and have nothing.

HTC is worthless in assisting with this issue. I've been fairly patient over the past three weeks, trying numerous different radios and reaching out to the manufacturer. Now, it's time to try a new device. I loved the sleekness of the One S, but it isn't worth the repeated poor performance and bugginess of HTC products when it comes to signal issues.
[HTC One S] Lebo-Wog:
i feel u mate, i tried a sim card from another operator, it fixed the problem, but i can't change, we only have 2 operators here in Lebanon, and the one that fixes my issue is very expensive when it comes to 3g network......

this keeps pissing me of, i don't know why doesnt my phone works when there is no 3g.....

another thing i noticed that in areas with 2-3 bars of 2g, if i get a phone call, immediatly after it i loose signal, wtf ??
[HTC One S] RhodeIslander83:
having same issue

I came across this thread it it seems it fits my phone issue

I am having the Same issues and I just purchased the phone 2 days ago. I see that my 4g icon stays on but I don't have connection. So I either go to the hone screen and wait a min then I notice it drop and , reconnect to 4g. I've also went to airplane mode and and disabled it thereafter it reconnects back to full4g. does this happen with other phones on 4g?
[HTC One S] Lebo-Wog:
happens with all the g's
[HTC One S] Ollaz:
I used to have this when I was on 4.0.3 with the 1.78 version, but after updating, all my data problems vanished. I believe I've had a drop or 2, but it's not irritating anymore.
[HTC One S] Bek1987:
Same problem. New phone and works good only on GSM/2g.:eek:
[HTC One S] ShortyRail:
Hi there!

I have the same problems. The mobile data works only properly on edge. Any suggestions? Bought my phone in Germany and am using it in the UK.

Best regards
[HTC One S] chris_p74:
Been through stock and custom roms, tried every radio, and I still have the same issue with disconnects. Is this a hardware issue:? do all one s users have this? I hear same/similar problems with many htc phones across many carriers.

I had that issue with Tmobile US stock firmware. Running 2.21 EU RUU fixed that issues for me.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hellot1M:
i work in the sprint store and in the past few days we have gotten at least 4 people with an epic touch still running gingerbread (with no option to update to ics) having issues with the bottom buttons not responding, touch screen acting weird, vibration activating sporadically, and with one case the media scanner runs in a loop. the only way to solve these issues have been to factory reset. but could only be temporary. the customers havnt returned. these issues have not just been happening on older devices but recent activation's.

is this a common issue? is there a fix? (without rooting!) we are a sprint store. we cant promote that lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:

Sounds like a batch of bad software flashes from the warehouse. Probably just need reflashed?

FYI, our store hasn't seen this
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hellot1M:
I thought the same thing but its been mostly from well established customers. It may have just been a coincidence but I'll see how this week turns out. The factory resets seem to have fixed the issues. Just could have been gingerbread getting confused after being used for awhile lol. Which brings me to another question.. is there any way to push the ics update to an epic touch that's still on gingerbread without Odin. Keep in mind this is a sprint store and we are very limited on our resources
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Well, couldn't you use the one click ek02, no data, which isn't rooted, and then let the ota process take the phone back to el29?

EK02 thread is here.

It would be stock, unrooted and you wouldn't be losing data.

Worth a try before a factory reset anyway..

Only thing I can think of since you don't want to root, then unroot..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hellot1M:
We can't do that. This is a sprint store and we are very limited on what we can do. So far factory resets have done the trick. We haven't gotten anyone back sense but we also told them it wasn't normal and that if the problems returned that they should take it to a repair center to have repaired or replaced.

It really sucks though. I wish I could manually flash these peoples phones but I'm not allowed
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Oh. I thought you were meaning that your limitation was rooting, not flashing.

I messed up with my build.prop in the system/build.prop now my device shows up as samsung galaxy nexus on the googleplay website on the computer.

If anyone knows a solution to this it'll be nice

If someone could post their stock rom build.prop from Telus that'll be great!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blue265:
I think you just need to change the one line back to this using root explorer

ro.product.model=SGH-I747M
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Intercrew:
That line is already like that.

Would unrooting work?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blue265:
When you changed your build.prop did you do it with root explorer ? If so, it usually makes a backup .bak file. You can then delete build.prop and rename build.prop.bak to build.prop. There seems to be a few places where model is located in build.prop

Unrooting wouldn't help since the changes are already made and would stay that way.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Intercrew:
I flashed the DIET ICS rom so not sure where i would find build.prop.bak
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Intercrew:
It'll be nice if someone with the Telus variant to post their stock build.prop using dropbox/box or something similar its not even a 1mb and should be quick.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bbgt2:
Do u have Root explorer ? If so go to systems and u will see your build.prop and underneath it should be the build. prop. back folder.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Intercrew:
Ya I'm using solid explorer and there's no build.prop back folder just build.prop and other folders.

I'm sure theres a few Telus users here... it doesn't even take a minute to use root explorer or any explorer like solid explorer to find the file and upload to a site. :/

I'm assuming u didn't do a nandroid backup before flashing Diet ROM ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Intercrew:
I actually made a stock fresh nandroid backup right after I rooted and installed CWM. I went back to that but I guess the system file remained o_O
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Hunt3r.j2:
Just pull the build.prop from the ROM zip that you downloaded.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Intercrew:
Thats not the case here, that build.prop already replaced my old original build.prop and for some reason I can't get it back even though I'm on my stock root which I nandroided back to.

After that the Samsung Galaxy SIII logo pops up again. Then, the Android guy pops up, and the blue bar goes about a quarter of the way through, and goes away. This keeps being repeated. Please help!
