[Desire General] haksam:
hi guys, i cant seem to find a similar problem in the desire thread so ill post this,

i keep getting a disconnect on my gsm network after connecting for awhile, ranging from 1 minute - 5 minutes. So first, everything connects fine, try to dial a number, nothing happens and poof, phone goes to no signal with an "x" at the bar, indicating a disconnection. It will then take its sweet time to lock on to the network again and few minutes later discon....

i found a trick to enter the service menu for android, dialing *#*#4636#*#* and entering Phone Information option.

heres what i got,

Phone Information

- IMEI

- Phone number (if known)

- Current network

- Signal strength: between -73 to -83 dbm and 15-20 asu), when disconnected both dbm and asu is 0

- Location (signal latency & Cell ID)

- Neighbouring Cell IDs: some letters and numbers here no idea what it means

- Roaming state: Not roaming

- GSM service status: In service (or not in service when disconnected)

- GPRS service status: disconnected

- Current network type: GPRS

- Message waiting status: false

- Call redirect status: false

- Call status: Idle

- Radio reset count: 0

- Data attempt count: 0

- Data success count: 0

- GSM disconnects: =======DATA=======

- PPP sent count

- PPP receive count

- Number of PPP reset since boot count

- Preferred network type: GSM only

- Toggle ciphering <---- what does this do?

- Toggle QXDM SD Log ? <---- what does this do?

- Toggle radio on/off [works fine]

- Set/retrieve SMSC number [shows a number, should be correct]

- Toggle DNS check 0.0.0.0 not allowed

my setup,

mobile network - GSM only

mobile data/sync turned off

radio rom: 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04 (also tried 32.48, 32.44, 32.43, 32.47)

custom rom: LeeDrOiD_V2.2d_NoA2SD

stock rom: Telstra Desire Rom 1.14

stock radio: 32.30

note:- stock rom behaves this way as well

i have been trying a few radio roms for desire but they all mostly come up with the same behavior, i'm just curious what the heading "gsm disconnects" refer to, is there anyway to solve this weird behaviour w/o having to test a few more radio roms?

also for anyone wondering, i cannot get 3G signal here at my place due to no coverage at all.
[Desire General] Twmade:
Sorry for reviving old old thread but I have this exact problem with my note 4. Did you ever find a fix
[Desire General] danagin:
same here

I have an ATT lg g flex running on Cricket. Every two minutes, my cell bar indicator x's out. 5 seconds later, I have the bars I should and 4g again.

I've tried to factory reset the device, and even get the factory image and reload it in download mode. Same exact deal no matter what. I have a call in with Cricket, I hope maybe they can help me out...

You need to post in your devices Rom not in here.
[HD2 General] D0Z3R2K4:
Hi all - sorry to bother you all but i have had a starnge thing happen to my HD2 - it crashed not it wont even boot any more - i have not used any form of cooked or modded roms - i have tried soft resetting it, and hard resetting it, as a las tditched attempt i downloaded the official rom update from HTC but it just gets as far as 8% then gives an ERROR [262] which asks me to put into recovery (take out battery inster hold down volume - and turn device on) (get coloured bars then it just does the same thing all over again.

the bars tell me this

PB81100 HX-BC

SPL-1.42.000 XE

MicroP(LED) 0x05

MicroP(Touch) 0x30

Upgrade Rom code error

Please try again

i tried the task29 but that wont even go part 0% and gives the same error....

any ideas - bit noob at this :/

Cheers in advance - and help me get my baby back ;)

[HD2 General] TimvdM:
Hi!

I also have a problem with my phone.

I think the same as you described.

Mine also froze and after that, the phone won't go further then the white bootscreen. I also tried, several times, to hard reset it and install the latest ROM.

Mine doesn't go further then 0%. Today my phone is going to be picked up for repair. I think you should call HTC Repair service.

good luck!
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
isn't that one of the tester (special) hd2's??? You might want to search hd2 gold card.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
sure you arent thinking of the ones that came with low RAM and 0.x spl?

However goldcard isn't a bad suggestion, assuming the OP has another winmo phone he can use to create it...
[HD2 General] Slothb:
The firmware on it was 1.48.405.2, S/N HT9CSNW01982

Couldn't download the update from the HTC site with this serial, it said that the download is not suitable for this device.

Tried to flash using the exe and active sync, but at 1% would say "error [294] invalid vendor id"

Tried to install HARDSPL, but it was unable to connect to the device, though it was connected to active sync, and HSPL did manage to bring out the bootloader.

So I used mtty without HARDSPL, which bricked it.

Now it doesn't boot, it just stops at the first screen with the green HTC on white background

I've tried hard factory reset, but it's no help

If I try to flash from SD with any stock ROM, it displays "00028002 not allow"

It boots the bootloader, as follows:

PB81100 HX-BC

SPL-1.42.0000 XE

MicroP(Led) 0x05

MicroP(touch) 0x30

I don't know if it was branded and then unlocked, the guy I've bought it from said he got it retail and it was never locked. I can't be shure about that, all I know is that it's bought from UK

Can anything be done or should I start using it as a paperweight?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
mtty has removed your operating system so of course it won't boot.

enter bootloader, flash a rom, fixed.
[HD2 General] Slothb:
I tried to flash from SD with stock ROM, but it displays "00028002 not allow"

I used 1.48.405.2 from the HTC site (which was supposed to be it's original version), but nothing

Any ideas?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
sounds like you are using teh wrong stock rom.

You cant just flash any stock rom, it must be the correct rom for your phone. So if your phone was originaly vodaphone germany, you must use a vodaphone germany rom, else it wont flash.

If you use hspl2, then you can flash anything you like.

Example

get the 1.66 wwe rom from official roms thread.

boot phone into bootloader.

connect usb.

when 'serial' changes to 'usb' right click hspl.exe and choose run as administrator

when it runs choose 1.66.hspl

when it completes, return to bootloader again

connect usb

when 'serial' changes to 'usb' run the 1.66 wwe.exe file.
[HD2 General] Slothb:
I know what happened... I followed the MTTY thread and changed the default win7 active sync drivers with the ones from the thread. So that's why hspl would not connect...

Can I use 2.08.HSPL from HSPL3 to flash the latest 3.14.405.2 stock update from HTC?

And another thing... how can I find what's the original firmware for my phone? Because I know it was bought from the UK and the firmware on it was 1.48.405.2
[HD2 General] maninasuitcase:
i think the 1st port of call for you is to get the correct update updat for your phone , if there is one. o2 and other providers have not yet had updates (3.14) for their branded phones . go to htc uk , put your s/number in and see if they have an update for you , if you get the "this update is not suitable for your phone" or similar , message , this means that you have a branded phone that the generic update is not suitable for
[HD2 General] Slothb:
Yes it does say that, but my problem is that I don't know from what provider it is, since I bought it second hand. Is there any way to find this out?
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
?? That should have been a pretty good indicator that it wasnt going to work.......:rolleyes:

I think some reading is in order before you attempt this again.............
[HD2 General] Slothb:
I did read, that's why I tried to use HARDSPL

I managed in the end to install 2.08.HSPL, but if I try to flash any stock ROM, it stops after (presumedly) it flashes the bootloader and displays "not allow" again

I am able though to flash custom roms.

Is there any way to find what was the original (branded?) firmware, so I can track it down? Or maybe to strip the bootloader off a stock ROM, so I can use it with HSPL?
[HD2 General] DN41:
only "method" i know is to take your s/n and try to download offical roms on htc's site.

if you can download a vodafone one, its vdf branded, if you can download a o2 one, its o2 branded and so on.. :D

DN41
[HD2 General] felixdd:
Call HTC support and tell them you want to upgrade your phone, but bought it unbranded and don't know which country it belongs to. That's what I did and they told me without any issues.

Once you have it, download and run.

Also, try some of the more esoteric regions. My phone was from Czech and although the website is not in English, the ROM upgrades were, so I was able to flash stock w/o issues
[HD2 General] Aevum:
my phone is vodafone (i removed the simlock) and the HTC website told me no update for you.

so i used a custom rom.
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
are you sure you got it unlocked? Did you see the "we unlocked it" screen? Also, flashing a stock ROM from the sd card locks the hspl again so that may be your problem. Don't flash a stock ROM from your sd card unless you want it locked.
[HD2 General] Slothb:
Indeed, I tried to flash it from the SD card, because I had no OS to boot to. So I flashed a custom ROM from th SD, then flashed a stock ROM via active sync and now the stock ROM runs happily on HSPL

Big thanks to all who answered my post and helped me to revive my phone!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferhanmm:
still no go. I tried a different file around 4 megabytes and it worked. But when I tried another file around 150mb same error comes up. I guess its a file size limitation. If anyone knows of an app that can extract larger sized rars please let me know.
[G2 and Desire Z General] darkpaniel:
I just received a brand new G2 from tmobile and ran "dead pixel test" from the market to find a stuck pixel. Sure, it's only one, but it still bothers me. I think it's something I can live with......as long as it's a "normal" thing.

So the question is.. is having a few stuck pixels normal for lcd screens? Have you checked your screen for stuck/dead pixels. If so, how many, if any, do you have? And lastly, do the dead pixel fixer apps actually work?

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] SuperDave81:
No stuck or dead pixels here. Haven't seen this as a common complaint on the G2. I know my bigscreens have a few but for the manufacture to replace them they have to have more than 5. I guess < 5 is an acceptable tolerance for TV's.
[G2 and Desire Z General] amack10:
Yes I had 2 rite above the menu bitton wwhere the screen starts. I left a pixel fixer on it all nite while I slept. It was the highest rated one nd did not work. So I exchanged the phone
[G2 and Desire Z General] darkpaniel:
Thanks for the reply. Not to doubt you or anything, but have you ran a dead pixel app? In normal use, it's close to impossible to see the single dead pixel on my G2.. only through the app can I actually see it. Just curious.
[G2 and Desire Z General] SuperDave81:
Yea, I ran the one you posted. "Dead Pixel Test" free app in the market.
[G2 and Desire Z General] blueboymj:
Just ran that app on my G2 and I can happily say that there's no dead pixels on this one.
[EVO 4G General] michaelm718:
I used to get 4g conenction in only certain aprts of Brooklyn and the speeds ranged from 8-10 mbps when I had a full conenction. Now I get a full connection everywhere in Brooklyn, NYC, etc and I average 4-6 mbps. Usually 4.x though which is saddening.

My boss told me a company known as Clear is the one that sets up the 4g for Sprint and if you go on their site they offer 2 plans. a 10mbps plan and a 6mbps plan and I'm pretty sure they are giving us the 6mbps plan which is BS since we were told that we can get speeds as fast as 10mbps on our Evo's and Epic's. Show me your results though if I'm wrong, but ever since Clear services went active my speeds dropped from 9.xx-10.xx to 4.xx-5.xxmpbs which is perfectly fine for a phone, but I was hoping to set this up as my primary internet since cablevision is so ****ing unreliable.
[EVO 4G General] om4:
they have talked about adding caps for a long time now, sprint especially, the load has been straining for both companies which is why some parts oh my area dont go past 2.5Mb/s right now but a block down it reaches 6Mb/s and 2 further blocks we get 9.8Mb/s, lately the 2.5 are has been reaching 6 and the 9 has dropped to 6, they cant keep throttling forever, so long as the caps and plans are reasonable i dont see too much of a problem
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:
i dont see a big deal my 3g speeds are great only reason you would be unhappy about a cap is if your one of them clowns downloading gigs at a time .
[EVO 4G General] michaelm718:
I'm not going to lie I did try that too see how fast it could go, but I didn't need it for that. I just think the 10mbps was soo much more faster than the 4-5 I'm getting now and all I've been using it for is surfing the web on my desktop and maybe a few video calls, because my cablevision is giving me 1 mbps down and 2mpbs up and they say it's the modem, but I replaced the modem and it's still the same so they are coming back next week to change it again so I wanted to sue this until I got my cable back.

Also my 3g speeds are terrible. I get around .2-.5 mbps tops.
[EVO 4G General] ZachPA:
For the longest time I've been getting 3-4 Mbps downloads on 4G. Suddenly tonight, I popped this 12+ Mbps. Holy carp. Seriously.
[EVO 4G General] werxen:
shut UP holy ****ing god.

Sprint NEVER does anything wrong. We should make our own little Sprint subforum for you so you can suck their tit somewhere else.
[EVO 4G General] manoleke:
i hope not today i have nice 4g
[EVO 4G General] uniquenameevo:
You are correct. 10 is substantially faster. Twice as fast.

I doubt there is a cap yet, likely it's a signal or load issue.

[EVO 4G General] jpatterson350:
For someone with over 2600 posts I have NEVER seen anything informative from you and incase you didnt read the OP is talking about 4G NOT 3G... Also I pay for what I get if I want to download **** I will. I dont need some fourm troll telling me what I can and cant do, hell you should be getting a check from sprint at this point but I'll bet your still paying them ha ha ha.

Thanks,

To OP, I have also noticed that my 4G speeds have been getting throttled. Its obvious when you hit 8MB then it just continues to bounce off 6MB.

Best,
[EVO 4G General] uniquenameevo:
Try the speakeasy web based test.
[EVO 4G General] jpatterson350:
IDEA!!

I think we should start a new thread with a bounty to buy you a different device so we can get you out of the EVO forum. It's difficult to ignore you and your comments on every post of every page. When I look at some of the contributers with just 200-1000 posts I see they bring valued substance to a post where as you bring drama, immature comments and questions that have been answered two pages back.

Thanks for making my time on XDA less enjoyable, and its not internet rage its not whatever your going to say to make yourself feel better its YOU!
[EVO 4G General] michaelm718:
Well maybe it's just for NYC, but you can see that it tries to pass 6 and NEVER succeeds. Once it gets close to 6 it rapidly declines and tried to fight it's way back which would make perfect sense if they've given certain areas a 6mbps down limit. Before it use to do the same thing, but it would pass 6 easily and make it to 10 and then start throttling.
[EVO 4G General] werxen:
Seriously.
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
Still getting 7-9mb down on 4g in northern NJ.
[EVO 4G General] uniquenameevo:
You know, the NYC makes me wonder. I know wimax sucks at penetrating buildings. Could being surrounded be affecting you? Any chance you could try near or line of sight to a tower?

Just a thought since sadly I don't think we can determine the true signal strength we get on 4G.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
I'm in Brooklyn, flashed back to a Sense ROM and yup, it's hovering on 6 Mbps -- I used to get 6-9 Mbps a month ago.
[EVO 4G General] sw99:
Folks... you get 6+ from sprint only until they formally launch in a city. Probably because of network testing. After that your gonna get capped at about 5mb. Supposedly, it has more to do with a mobile device on the network than limits on their customers. With other providers coming out with faster networks I doubt sprint would really want to cap it.
[EVO 4G General] uniquenameevo:
I'm in a city with 4G listed (formally launched). I get 10+ in the right area of my house.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Sprint is not capping 4G speeds or throttling it.... you guys and your conspiracy theories
[EVO 4G General] :
4g speedcaps are homosexual, I want my 50 mbp/s wirelesses.
[EVO 4G General] om4:
*theorists* they arent our theories until we need them to blame something lol, and yeah people do seem to go that route but when im talking to an engineer who tells me the network it being throttled in my area until they get the next tower up and running, and you see the large jumps and dips like i do, not to mention that he tells me i should see an email about it in 3 days and infact 3days later im reading an email from sprint saying they now cover my town, it seems to appear sprint is doing what they can to even the load as new towers come into play
[EVO 4G General] Runelaron:
First off Sprint owns Clear. They baught them as a start up company and gave them the investment to start building in certain areas. They own more than half of Clear.

Second you signal is not a basis of your speed. Signal is just about quality of the connection. I.E. packet loss.

What depends on your speed is the amount of people using that tower. Also the priority algorithm of that tower.

Can Sprint put a cap on it, yes. Will they? Probably not anytime in the immediate future. Why? Because phones still aren't able to store massive data like torrents. And 4G tendering is not a popular event yet.

When there user data shows this, then they will cap speeds. Even then it might be automated using the towers algorithm. So quick downloads will always recive burst 10meg speeds.

hope this clears things up .

Sent from my WTF.
[EVO 4G General] Genjinaro:
Right, I think what they're seeing is high traffic times. That is usually the times I see my Speeds dip from 10-12.5Mbps to 6-8Mbps.

My Speeds shift like this during the day.

The only throttling taking place is the data upload.
[EVO 4G General] wuclan48:
Maybe you or someone else can explain this. I've always been curious as to why upload speeds are always slower than download. Why throttle just that side?

these were my speeds along outer L.A. the point at which they start getting lower is when i walked inside a mall and from their i lost connection. i am pretty sure the speeds are that good because they havent officially announced 4g for L.A. and nobody is searching. but i will keep high hopes for the future and also for wimax 2

[EVO 4G General] waterboy100:
i know plenty of people who know LA 4g is already on. even people who dont have an evo or epic. anyways it goes live on dec 1st so itll probably get slower then

edit: at the moment, in the San Fernando Valley, I get about 800KB/s download 'real'

The wierd part is when i run a speedtest it only shows about 4Mb/s

and we all know that 800KB/s >> 4 Mb/s
[EVO 4G General] Runelaron:
upload speed based on your devices capability, most devices can not handle high upload speeds. Also sometimes there throtled by land line companies because its considered a business service.

On a side note you cannot upload and download simultaneously so one has to choose priority and downloads usually take it for residential use. (There's only one cable)

Sent from my WTF.
[EVO 4G General] michaelm718:
Wow I can't say that I've been called a conspiracy theorist before. Well I look at it liek this. I got 10mbps every day for a month or 2 and now once it hits 6 it continuously gets throttled down to 6.0 or less. Usually when it hovers at 6.0 it seems like it's trying to go faster, but then gets pulled back down. Maybe it's just for NYC I do not know. Also I live in a house so big buildings wouldn't affect me. Well maybe they are working on the towers and I sure hope so because I want my 10mbps back, because optimum keeps ****ing with me. I'm getting 1mpbs down and 2.5 mbps up and they say that they don't know whats wrong and I doubt my step dad is going to want to leave them any time soon.
[EVO 4G General] NYCHitman1:
That's funny b/c they said the same thing to me but that it's the computers fault. I'm like.. dude do you know ANYTHING about computers? I had to put the guy in his place.

I've had a tech come to my house like 3 times within the last 3 months. It's ridiculous.
[EVO 4G General] akiradavis:
When I was in Bed-Sty I was getting 4G when they first rolled it out in June. 10+ mbps was my speed. Before I moved away around Aug, I saw the speeds diminish from 10+ to 6 and I also thought it was throttling. But when I was next to the tower (located at the Citi building in Long Island City), I was able to get 12mbps consistently. I think that is the tower which is feeding BK and parts of Queens....
[EVO 4G General] akiradavis:
Dude, cablevision has been doing the samething to my family until i came in and asked them (nicely and directly) to re-run the wire from street pole to my apartment (on the 14th floor). it took the tech 2 days to complete but now i finally get 12 mbps down and 2 up on optimum online. I know how annoying it is!!
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
I live in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, NY. I get full 4G signal from my bedroom on the second floor of my house. I get almost 11MB down on average. I'm pretty sure the cost of maintaining 4G coverage is cheaper to Sprint than 3G (compare "unit" to "unit"). The only reason for capping 4G speeds would be for tiered plans. I remember Dan Hess saying he was considering not making 4G unlimited anymore or something like that. I'm pretty sure that's breach of contract, at least if they don't grandfather us current subscribers.
[EVO 4G General] neodorian:
I use the same network for my ISP (was Xohm, now Clear) and they have been throttling the **** out of it lately. I'm bummed because I don't need the fastest connection ever but I was getting around 5mbps for like $30-35 per month. I was fine without the most blazing fiber speeds as long as I could watch Netflix, Hulu, etc. streams without a ton of buffering but now it regularly drops to under 1mbps and the customer support folks beat around the bush before admitting that your connection is being "managed" to ensure a stable connection for everyone on the node. It's just annoying because now my options are to pay another $20/month for the same speeds on Verizon DSL or shell out even more for cable.
