It happened again this evening when I had some more time to play around with it, so I have a bit more information about this problem.

When I tried Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Mobile networks -> Network operators, the circular arrow spun for a minute or two and eventually a little pop-up appeared saying, "Error searching for networks" or something like that.

It occurred to me that the SIM card might be bad or have a bad connection, so I installed an app (using wifi -- which, BTW, I had on throughout this whole process) that allows you to copy your contacts onto the SIM card and ran it. That seems not to be the problem, though, since that app could access the SIM card just fine, while I still had no service.

I toggled Airplane mode on and off, but there was still no change. I then again searched for network operators; the circular arrow appeared and stopped, then a couple of seconds later the phone spontaneously rebooted and I have service again.

Anybody have any guesses as to what these symptoms might indicate?
[Nexus One General] Unoid:
Every so often i got service but I cna't send text messges unless I power cycle. If I try to airplane mode cycle it won't let me get out of the mode.
[Nexus One General] imdbui:
wow, a bit refreshing knowing that I'm not the only one with this issue.

I'm on T-mobile and within the last week I've had 2 occassions where I looked at my phone and noticed no service, a power cycle caused it to freeze on "powering off" screen and I would have to pull the battery. After it booted it I had full bars again.

Within the last 2 weeks I have had issues where I would not be able to send a text messages until i power cycled.

The last time I had no service was 4 hours ago. I had to pull the battery to power cycle and get service again.
[Nexus One General] wmm:
Thanks for the reply. I, also, pulled the battery the first time it hung in the shutdown sequence, but as I said in my first message, since then I have managed to complete the power-down after the hang, either because whatever it was waiting for eventually timed out or because something I did (e.g., holding down the power button for several seconds) overrode the wait. Next time it happens I'll try just waiting to see if it will complete the shutdown on its own.

Just out of curiosity, did you have wifi enabled at the time this happened? Bluetooth? I'm not sure whether it's relevant, but I leave both on all the time.

As for the text message problem, I don't send a lot of texts, so I probably wouldn't have noticed if I were having that problem and can't comment on any correlation.
[Nexus One General] wmm:
Oh, and a couple more questions: do you have NetCounter installed? And are you in a location where you sometimes or frequently get 0 bars of signal strength?
[Nexus One General] veive:
I have had similar issues with other phones...

For me it turned out to be an issue with my sim card.
[Nexus One General] imdbui:
I usually have both bluetooth and Wifi enabled all the time...

Dont have netcounter installed.

Dunno about the SIM card issue, unless its a combo of the N1 and my SIM card, because I swap to using my BB 8900 once in a while and I never have text message or no service issues.
[Nexus One General] jaboswell:
Im experiencing the same problem, I have dropped calls in some spots around town (when changing towers it seems), I drop service when inside my home and cant send texts (until a power cycle), horrible 3G speeds of less than 1MB/S all around town (driving and standing directly under the Tmobile Tower that across the street from the tmobile store).

NONE of this happened with my G1....my 3G speeds always sucked though but were usually around 1.5-2.1MB/S.

Im located in Fredericksburg,VA.

(MY PHONE IS NOT ROOTED AND IS RUNNING THE OTA UPDATE1)
[Nexus One General] XfrostX:
Im pretty sure it was the radio update, cause after i get out of a place where i get no signal at all, and i get to a open place I have to reboot the phone to get signal again :@
[Nexus One General] wmm:
I've been busy for the last six weeks or so and haven't been following N1 news around the net. Has anyone heard of any progress on this issue? It seemed to go away on my phone for a couple of weeks, but it's back with a vengeance: it's happened to me about once a day for the last few days, which is more frequently than any time since I've had the phone, so I'd really like to get this fixed somehow.
[Nexus One General] ram130:
Can you take a youtube video of it? the more the better to get Google to fix it.

Also these issues seem to be related over here too http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?fid=1cc152dbb797df2f000483d7c88e343e&hl=en
[Nexus One General] wmm:
Thanks for the link. It seems to me that several different problems are collected together there; mine is specifically the one where I go to zero bars (which happens fairly often; I have several dead spots in my house) and it never comes back.

A video of this would be pretty boring to watch; there's really nothing to see. The signal strength shows zero bars with an "x" and the home screen shows "no service." Trying to power off, or going into and out of airplane mode, shows the spinning arrow for a few seconds, then it stops; a few seconds later the screen goes blank; then a half-minute after that the multicolored "X" appears and the phone reboots itself.
[Nexus One General] adamentity:
No SMS Gateway

I think this is a separate issue for the phone not switching back to a connected state with the service provider. In the case of SMS, I have also noticed that you may have signal but you have no SMS gateway. No idea where it goes or why it does that.

For whatever reason you loose the SMS gateway phone number settings and become unable to send text messages without a reboot. This is evident by visiting:

Phone

dial *#*#4636#*#* (if you happen to mis-dial this start over after clearing the display or it won't work)

Phone information

Under SMSC: press Refresh.

If no number displays (in my case +12063130004) then you have no route for the SMS messages to take. Entering that number and pressing update will fix it but just restart so it can pick it back up from the SIM/Carrier configutation.
[Nexus One General] z0phi3l:
I have this issue sometime in a supermarket here, if I'm in it shopping for a while I loose all signal and have to reboot, also happened with my MyTouch jut didn't have to reboot the phone, but if I'm in there for a quick purchase, it works OK
[Nexus One General] robert-qfh:
@wmm, I'm seeing exactly the same issue (zero bars + reboots) and found another guy on the cyanogenmod forum with that problem. Maybe you can add your last_kmsg to this thread, even though you're on stock. http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?/topic/1599-loss-of-signal-no-reacquisition-issue/
[Nexus One General] ram130:
Damn...Lets hope the next OTA fixes this then.
[Nexus One General] wmm:
Yep, that certainly sounds identical to my experience. Next time I have the problem I'll force a crash by toggling airplane mode instead of trying to power off (it seemed from the thread that last_kmsg would not be saved if there is a normal reboot, and indeed I have no last_kmsg from the reboot that resulted from trying to power cycle after the last time I had the problem).

Thanks for the cross-reference.
[Nexus One General] wmm:
That would be nice, but I haven't seen any activity on the issue on the Android developers' board. Speaking as a programmer, these intermittent, once-every-few-days kinds of problems are a real pain to debug, so I can't blame people for not wanting to tackle the issue...
[Nexus One General] summonkey:
I had this issue but fixed it by installing the Radio Rom and OS again from the last update. Has not done it again. Now its a power button issue lol.
[Nexus One General] boostenmkiv:
another

I just wanted to make a quick post because I experience the exact same issues! I have noticed that it tends to happen when I am in an area for an extended period of time where T-Mobile doesn't have service. I also have noticed that when I try to shutdown the phone when its in this "state" that it seems to hang for a bit. I am guessing that the radio has a lock on the processor (maybe trying to pick up service) and holds up the shutdown process.

It seems to be a guarantee that I WILL have this problem ANYTIME I am in a no service area for a bit before going back into an area with service.

I am running cyanogenmod 5.0.6-N!-test1:

Firmware 2.1-update-1

Baseband version 32.24.00.22U_4.03.00.21_2

Kernel version 2.6.33.2-cyanogenmod shade@toxygene #1

Build number EPE54B
[Nexus One General] wmm:
FWIW, my last_kmsg was identical to the one reported in the Cyanogen thread.
[Nexus One General] pershoot:
i have the same issue, and it is quite vexing. it is an n1/radio issue, as the same sim was used in my previous phone (g1), and this never ocurred.

it usually happens when i go from in coverage, to out of coverage (radio has no signal), to back in coverage. radio will reamin turned off until a manual reboot ocurrs or a kernel panic (eventually), causing a soft reboot, ocurrs.

hopefully the next radio update (if ever)/software fix will cure it.
[Nexus One General] wmm:
Don't count on it. The Google bug report database still lists its status as "New" (11 months after it was first reported). Apparently no one is even working on it yet.
[Nexus One General] boostenmkiv:
So I have a possible update today.

When this happened today, I decided to do some searching around on the phone and see what I could find that might strike me as odd or different than usual.

I went into the settings>Wireless&networks>Mobile networks>Network operators Here I noticed that my phone was still finding the AT&T network, but NOT my T-Mobile network. If the radio was "failing" I shouldn't be able to see AT&T either......correct?

Just a thought.
[Nexus One General] danvy:
Hi,

I have the exact same problem. I sometime find my phone with no network, I try to turn plane mode on/off, then the phone reboots.

The same sim card worked without problem on the same network using an HTC Hero.

I live in France, use Orange network and Nexus One with Android 2.1 (no root).
[Nexus One General] wmm:
That's different from my experience. Normally I see both T-Mobile and AT&T, but when I have the "no service" problem, I don't see either. If I search for networks, the arrow spins for a long time and doesn't find anything.
[Nexus One General] boostenmkiv:
Update

So I decided to change my radio last night and flashed the 4.04.00.03_2 radio...

I didn't have to reboot one single time today!!! I will update this thread in a couple days to let the community know how its going for me...i'm feeling optimistic thus far!
[Nexus One General] boostenmkiv:
update

Unfortunately, it happened again last night. It does "seem" to be better at this point and not happening as often, but it still happened

I remember a month or so ago I downloaded and installed the new JIT compiler to WGBuild 2.6. It was great improvement I thought, but I can't for the life of me remember how to do it.

Can anyone point me to a download link and some basic install instructions? Thanks guys

Plz someone know if the hardware method (pin shorten ) flashing ROM will work with my SoftBank X02T (TG-01 Japanese)?

Thanks alot!
[TG01 General] bird_9527:
my download report

whatever I rename the file, .bin or .enc , it is not work in my TO1A device.

when I shorten the pin and reset, the white screen appear ,with the notice of error "file is not available"

SO maybe the method not fit for the T01A device......waiting for the new tools....
[TG01 General] eekthecat:
i think the softbank version not is like tg-01a version, because when i try use the i try rename to .enc and use the sddl flash my device with no erros, but after the flash complete and device restart, my tg01 dont start, no screen, no nothing.
[TG01 General] ichiban630:
it works. i once used the short pin method with my docomo t-01a phone. it was the debranded orange uk rom. the problem i had was the settings of my email and internet. i went to the shop and they said that even if i set it up manually it would cost me like a roaming device would so i asked them to return my phone to its previous state.

Hi,

I am living in Belgium and have Base as operator. When I switch to the 3G, I can't pick up a call and my HD2 is freezing. This happens only with

Base not with other operators. My HD2 works fine when connected to Edge.

I would like to know if other people ,having Base as operator, are experiencing the same problems.

Thanks

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] myn1:
Ok last summer, I bought a Magic and have it upgraded to HTC sense interface.

I forgot how I did that and what I should do next.

In fastboot, what I see is:

--------------------------------------------------------

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H

HBOOT-1.76.0007 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-6.35.07.29

And Clear data, Yes/No option. That's ALL about the fastboot.

--------------------------------------------------------

In Settings, it shows:

--------------------------------------------------------

* Firmware version: 1.5

* Baseband version: 63.18.55.06HU_6.35.07.29

* Kernel version: 2.6.27-5469d459 htc-kernel@and18-2 #901

* Build number: 3.03.707.5 CL#75968 release-keys

--------------------------------------------------------

What I know:

* The Magic was upgraded by myself more than half a year ago, I forgot how I did that already

* Recently I have a new Nexus One and had it unlocked, rooted, RA-nexus-v1.5.3, and upgraded it with CyanMOD 5.0 Beta 5 (newest)

--------------------------------------------------------

Now what I want is:

* Android 1.6 or higher (2.0 or even 2.1 is preferred)

* to get it even faster

* HTC sense UI is preferred (esp its smart dialer)

* the system has to be very stable

* more ROM/RAM can be used, if possible

---------------------------------------------------------

Can anyone please tell me what I should do now?

Thank you very much for your help...!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zortoflaven:
Looks like you updated using the official update utility. If so, you are stuck for now.

edit - But you say you did it more than half a year ago? The official update only came out in the last few weeks...

The Hong Kong Sense UI update many people used was released mid-November. Not half a year ago, yes, but still.

1.76.0007 is a perfected spl but you can get rid of it. Where is your phone from? If it's from Europe then run this RUU http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=625108, it contains a modified SU binary that can let you flash a new recovery and engineering spl found here, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=605239. Follow the instructions posted by this member, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=605239, and then follow the take me back steps in cursordroid's thread because most Eclair ROMs use the old radio and spl ,but there is one or two that work with new radio. If you're phone isn't from Europe, run the RUU find the rom.zip temporary folder (search the forums), flash it with a goldcard (again search the forums) and follow all the instructions after flashing the ROM. Good luck.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] myn1:
Thanks guys. Yes I'm in Hong Kong. I'm not sure whether the phone is from Singapore or Europe. I'll need to check it out with the method mentioned in the reply above.

Just a quick question, would it make a huge improvement in speed after I got the phone further upgraded? If not, maybe i'd just keep it as it is now...

Thanks again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rps13:
Well, the stock Sense UI rom is slower than Cursorsense (modded Sense ROM), but I don't know how much faster the android 1.6,2.01,2.1 ROMs are, but most likely all of them are faster.

Telus Phone

Hi there ,

I have a telus TP2, and I did drop it 2 or 3 times on the ground.from the table. (nothing is broken)

But If I check closely the space from the Keyboard to the lcd (closed phone) I see that I "could" open it from the wrong side..

The phone is not "flush" anymore.

So if you see "through" the phone (1mm/1.5mm) that means the phone was probably dropped.. (best guess)

hi

i flashed to dcd rom 4.1.2 and everything i wanted to work actually worked.

youtube worked fine and all my weather sites worked also

gps locked with 5 satellites and google maps was perfect.

my only problem was after leaving it on for a couple hours it would lock and need a soft reset.

i decided to flash rom 3.2.6 that everyone says works fine.

after flashing i was back to youtube and my weather sites not working and gps is very slow to lock.

can anyone recommend a rom between 3.2.6 and 4.1.2 that will give me the functionality that i am looking for?

4.1.2 did all i wanted ,but locked up(memory leak??)

any help appreciated

[General Questions and Answers] rompl:
:(Hi to everibody,

could someone make me understand why

after setting connection e testing them for correct function of

mail, opera, weather and so on after two or three days you find that you can't connect no more and reviwing setting you find the proxy

server modified.

I'm now using a xanny evo 1.9 rom, but i found this problem

on every rom i tested, dutty,s, miri, alesscam, xao etc.

When it happens is not sufficient to modify the proxy to solve the problem

but you have to setup again all connections and possibly shut down the

device and restart it.

thank a lot
[HD2 General] Gstq10000:
I have just got a 16gb sd card which is recognised by my HD2 but copying my files straight to the card from both the pc and via pc cable meant that I have several issues with programs installed, such as jwmd icon changer, my icons all return back to the old ones...

I have formatted the sd card several times...

as soon as I replace the sd card and soft reset it works fine... just not with the 16gb card.

any suggestions?

Thanks

I have searched and tried the suggestions on a couple of the threads...
[HD2 General] jandev:
When you copy the files from the 8gb card, select on your pc to show all files (enable hidden files) from the maps that are in the 8gb card.
[HD2 General] Gstq10000:
Thanks for the advice, unfortunately I had already done that....

I'm wondering if the card is faulty...

I am currently in the middle of a full format rather than a quick format...
[HD2 General] jandev:
Maybe you can test your card with H2testw to see if it's faulty.
[HD2 General] Gstq10000:
I'll try that, thanks

The full format didnt make any difference........
[HD2 General] ephestione:
to test the 16gb sandisk I got from a foreign seller on ebay, I used dd under linux, wrote several 4GB size files filled with zeroes, until it was full, and then copied them back to the HD.

Write and read operations went fine, so I suppose the card works alright, and is really a 16GB card (14.83GB really on it due to difference between GB and GiB), and I tested it for max 7.5MB/s write speed, and 7MB/s read speed.

So you could do the same write/read tests to see if all the data put on the card is really there, or if it's a fake/damaged 16GB card
[HD2 General] TicKByT:
Make Sure to also uncheck 'Hide Protected operationg system files' before copying
[HD2 General] pa49:
Er, I may be missing something here, but, all previously installed app associations will be unusable when you change mem card and you will need to reinstall everything.

My advice would be to install everything you can to phone mem and it will run more quickly and be more stable into the bargain, use less battery and run cooler!
[HD2 General] Gstq10000:
I thought this maybe the case, but having read other threads, other people seem to have been able to do it... also, with previous other phones I have done it...

Hi. have you tested a clone software like DriveSnaphot. Thats the best method. :o
[HD2 General] ephestione:
well... no problem here, I've switched from 8 to 16gb sd on my previous ipaq, simply mirrored the file structure, and all the .lnk files in the menu worked alright.... I do not really see the reason why those shortcuts shouldn't work anymore.
[HD2 General] Gstq10000:
how did you do it? I tried the snap shot idea... no luck.....
[HD2 General] Gstq10000:
I just had a look at the copied folders on the 16gb sd card via my pc, at the top level they seem ok, but once I look into each folder they all have crazy symbols instead of folder names.... this is obviously the problem... but what is causing it?

They are all normal on the original 8gb

Juat to add that they are ok on the 16gb card also until i put them into the hd2....
[HD2 General] ephestione:
test the files.

It may be possible that the card is a fake 16gb or defective.

Copy 15gb to it from PC (prferably movies), then copy them back to hard disk on another folder. See if you can still watch all 15gb of movies. If you get errors, card is defective/fake.

There's no reason why a snapshot shouldn't work otherwise.
[HD2 General] pa49:
It's not a matter that they shouldn't work. It's that they often don't.

Some will have no problem and some will. Especially when attempting usage after a flash of ROM or any alteration of registry (dirrectly or indirrectly).

The OS knows the location of associated files and when a straight copy of files is made from one card to another there can be no certainty that the integrity of the file system will be maintained.

You wouldn't rely on your PC to acknowledge a new second Hard drive in exactly the same way as an older one was just by copying the files. There's fat and boot sector implications.
[HD2 General] Gstq10000:
I'm currently testing the sd card with a program called h2testw which writes data to the card to test the capacity etc to see if its been hacked to show a fake capacity... its going to take 90 mins...so fingers crossed its not fake....
