Yea .. I think WM def is better on the hole lose connection thing ..

Android does not seem to be that great when it comes to signal Strength :(

I have problems in my office here at home ..

JWhipple install WM and do a test .. and let us know :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JWhipple:
Flashing it now... Should have some usable info by the end of the day I'm hoping. I went with the latest official TMobile RUU.

Right out of the gates I'm pulling a 3G connection here in my office - a STRONG 3G connection. No fluctuation.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] WarlockW:
yea .. I had a feeling ..

yea .. I had a feeling .. Kinda sucks cause I really like android.

I also have done a few tests and WM By Far has a better signal :(

I hope the Devs can someday come up with a fix :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JWhipple:
Same here... In the meantime, I honestly hate the ever living crap out of WM6.5, but I am either going to stick with it or look for another phone as I simply can't go without a stable phone for work. :-(

I've tried probably every possibly combination of ROM and Kernel that I could find, as well as many many APN setups trying to beat the dreaded "blurry mms" that I got with any ROM other than CMYLXGO's ... Nothing's made a difference.

I honestly don't know what I am going to do... Maybe take advantage of this problem to explore other mobile avenues (while sticking with TMobile of course - I love them!)...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JWhipple:
Well my return to WinMo was short lived to say the least. When I got home from work last night I quickly reflashed to Android.

I'm holding onto the HD2 as a backup, but I am giving serious consideration to some of the upcoming phones that will be releasing in the upcoming weeks.

Boss told me I could get a <COUGH><PUKE><GAG>Blackberry<BLEH!> for free through the company - sorry - I'd rather shell out $500 of my own money for a phone and then monthly carrier fees for something I know I'd enjoy using .
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jessie1:
Hey guys

I am a noob but a long time lurker since the blackjack days! To fix the issue that you get "no signal" from standby try the following steps:

1) go to dial pad and enter *#*#4636#*#* ( don't press dial button ).

2) it should take you to a menu on this menu press : Phone information

3)Scroll down and click the set preferred network type and then click GSM/CDMA auto Prl.

Once you are done test it out. It will no longer say no service after standby. I tried this after finding a link and google and I figured I will share.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JWhipple:
I'll give it a shot - couldn't hurt at this point.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JWhipple:
So much for that idea - thank you though, I appreciate the attempt to help! I just woke the phone, no service... That was with 3g/2g ...

Back to 2g for me :-(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jessie1:
I used it with CM7 nand build. I am not sure ;( I tried though. I will see if I can find any more information.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] WarlockW:
So I tryed ..

1) go to dial pad and enter *#*#4636#*#* ( don't press dial button ).

2) it should take you to a menu on this menu press : Phone information

3)Scroll down and click the set preferred network type and then click GSM/CDMA auto Prl.

However I found it wasnt saving the settings ..

What I Had to do was .. Make sure Data was NOT Connected ..

settings/wireless-networks/mobile network < Un-Check this

Then Goto dial pad and enter *#*#4636#*#*

And Set: GSM/CDMA auto Prl

Then Close that Out .. and go back to ..

settings/wireless-networks/mobile network < Check this

Seems to have saved the setting now ..

Maybee thats why it didnt work for you JWhipple ?

Give it a shot.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nemesis1278:
Well I have noticed that once in a while I would miss a text or a call. I have made some of the settings here and dropped the time without signal down to 19 from about 30. going to see if gsm/cdma auto prl makes it drop more. It could also be that I am also not walking from building to building as I was earlier in the day and am stationary in one building.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pyrorob:
you guys do know that going to settings/wireless-networks/mobile network settings - network mode and setting the network mode there is the same as going to *#*#4636#*#*/phone info-network type, yeah? it just that network mode under network settings only gives you options that are applicable for the hd2...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JWhipple:
Tried it during my last hour at the office right after you posted - still no changes...

Maybe I just have a bum phone...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] upsmanraz:
Nope, you're not the only one. I'm outside all day and keep getting the no service and by bluetooth beeping constantly in my ear. I know switching it to just GSM works, but it would really be nice to have the 3G since it costs so damn much on the plan. I was even trying to figure out last night if actual Android radios would fix the problem, but they are data img files that i dont know how to explore.:(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
I use 2.12.50.2 and so far I have no issues. I use builds in my signature.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JWhipple:
I'm now searching the market for another phone - either something high-end and currently out or will be released shortly.

I'm definitely keeping the HD2 as a backup phone - the 2G works fine - it pisses me off - but it works fine (as long as I'm not in a weak reception spot like work). In a pinch it will be a standby in case whatever I get has to go in for warranty work or whatever. I may even flash it back to WinMo just to give it a leg up on reliability if I need to ever fall back onto it.

It's a shame that we've come this far in just the month and 10 days since MAGLDR came out just to be stopped by radio issues, but, it is what it is.

Not to be a nay-sayer, but I don't see the android devs monkeying with the radios any.

Man, the wife has been complaining about her phone not having service and I thought she was crazy.

I guess I was wrong...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JWhipple:
LOL that ex-girlfriend of mine was blaming my lack of answering on me - she refused to listen to me that I wasn't getting the calls... Oh well - the phone's problem was actually a godsend :-)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nemesis1278:
This morning when i awoke my time without signal was non-existent. When I got to work and was there for about an hour I get 24% time without signal. It seems to be an issue when switching between edge and 3g/HSDPA. At home I get a steady 3g/HSDPA signal. Here at work it switches from Edge to 3g/HSDPA depending on which building I am located in.

2g missed calls

You guys seem to have the opposite problem to me.

I am on O2 in the UK, but with no 3G or Fast data connection my phone goes to 2g.

Problem I have is that when Data is being received and transmitted the phone diverts calls to voice-mail.

I am not sure if this has always happened, its only with the use of Google Navigate I have noticed this issue, but although I trawl through the forums here I can not find a solution.

I am running NAND version of the latest RAFDROID on my 512 HD2 with a 16gig SD partitioned.

I cant find anything I have done wrong, and I do know that as soon as I drive into a "fast" connection area I can once again receive calls.

I am baffled, any help would be appreciated.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JWhipple:
Since there's no issue while in 2g ONLY, I called TMobile and got an unlock code and gave the phone to my daughter who is on her mom's AT&T account - she's been DYING for an Android phone, and she about flipped when she got this 4.3" beauty from me!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheCoutures:
Damn I'm in a current 13 page forum on this issue as well and still can't seem to find a solution.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rnscotch:
I thought there was some kind of hardware fault on my phone, I did originally notice my connection was crapping out when i first installed android. I then came back to the uk last week to visit and i could get no signal at all no matter what carrier sim i used someone even suggested it could be imei blacklisted but i knew that was not the case.

All i was seeing was the dreaded no service message, so followed the quoted instructions and now i am getting a 2g connection cant get 3g until i am outside and even then it's flaky yet if i take the sim out and put it in to an old LG slider i have 3g straight away never once does it drop.

I really don't want to go back to win 6.5, has anyone tried flashing wp7 to see how the reception is with it?

Just makes me shake my head to think of all the time i have wasted changing roms, flashing new radios etc i was going nuts not being able to solve it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gnash.s:
+1 on this.

It's been several months and I have tested several ROMs, latest version of gingerbread, still the same issue. No 3G at home. and the switch between 2g & 3G makes the phone go into "No service" mode quite often. I'm back to Sense ROMs (CME DHD) which seems to atleast not lose the signal completely when there is no 3G. I'm just waiting for my next android phone.. galaxy s II :)

Thanks
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockrerun:
I have multiple windows network shared folders that I would like to mount. The main point in doing this would be so that I can play videos on my epic without having to do the convert&stream/copytoSD shuffle.

I would like to get either CIFSManager to work, or Mount Manager. I've tried multiple kernel/rom combinations with no luck. Has anybody been able to get this to work on their Epic?

As far as I know, there isn't a cifs.ko compiled for the Epic 4G, which may be causing the problem. I tried using a cifs.ko that was compiled for other Galaxy S devices, but that didn't seem to work.

If anybody has any info on how to get this working, it would be greatly appreciated. I am currently on stock DI18, but I have no problem flashing to something else if that will help my situation.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knights191:
I am running AuraxSense 8.2 with the latest changed sense kernel.

For somehow my Desire always shuts down around 10%, it's crazy! I tried resetting the battery stats, the charge/discharge cycle, with phone on and off. But this al didnt work.

When my phone says it has around 10% left it does not take long before it shuts down. When I put it to a charger and boot it up, it says it's 0% battery left, thats strange because it was around 10% when it shut down.

I also dont see it going to 1,2,3,4,5,6,7% .. it starts giving a value around 9 or 10. Does anybody have a clue whats going in ?

Its really annoying and been looking into it for several weeks, but havent found an answer.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrol:
i've ran nothing but LeeDrOiD roms on my Desire, and always found this, never seen anything below 10% on my phone either :/
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magickiller9:
My best guess is the phone follow the voltage instead of percentage, as my phone shut down from around 4-10%. And whenever it shut down it has the same voltage
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iLHaNroID:
+1

if something (music, browser, game etc.) is active, then it shuts down even around 14,16% but normally between 9 and 12. Have never seen 5 - 6 thus far.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lanroth:
Yep, I have this issue too.

It's always at 10% when it shuts down though.

I'm running leedroid 2.3
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knights191:
Hmmm... It is (not) good to know, that I am not the only one. On the other hand, it is a bad thing.

Because I want a percentage meter that is accurate.

How is this possible anybody got some ideas? I think this is REAL lame.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyakuman:
Yeah, I also have (had) this issue for Cyanogenmod 6.1.x and Gingerbread roms. It's been a while since I used any sense-based rom but I swear it didn't happen then.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knights191:
Does anybody have found a solution for this?

On a Dutch forum people are also recognizing this problem. Some say that they don't have this with a new (gingerbread) rom.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guy7:
FWIW I have a stock Vodafone Desire on 2.2 and it behaves in exactly the same way as you are all describing. If you guys with custom roms etc etc (I have yet to venture there) have the same problem then it doesn't sound like an Android issue?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knights191:
Well, perhaps it is a Sense issue ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] euqilobaid:
I have a LeeDrOiD ROM and don't have the issue. I can clearly see 6%, 2%, even 1%. But when battery drops below 6% it is just a matter of minutes when the phone will shut down.

Did you try and calibrate your battery?

Do you have wi-fi, BT, 3G turned ON all the time or you turn it on when needed?

All this can greatly influence your battery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrankRr:
I have Leedroid 2.3c and my phone shuts down at 10%.

Nee, no i did not know that. But it still does not solve anything.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p5x:
Had this problem even whilst on stock rom before rooting. I've found that if I charge the phone overnight whilst it's off, the battery seems to run down to zero properly rather than shutting down at 10%.

Anyone else tried this?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hejhej.ac:
My battery starts to drop faster at the end but i still se the percentage all the way down to 0 before it shuts down.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fig Bucker:
I also have this problem now for a while.

When on stock Eclair at launch date I didn't have this problem but I noticed it after changing to Open Desire and still have it on Lee Droid too.

Usually 14-15% for me.

Didn't calibrate it as it appears it'll make it worse in quite a few cases.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahac85:
i have the same problem mine shuts down at 8% use to shutdown at 13%, rang htc they said the software on the phone is giving the wrong reading for the battery and to charge it switched off for 8 hours, well i did and it now shuts at 8%. im on leedroid 2.2f.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warlordxxx:
Actually this may well be a case of protect the battery syndrome . Basicly Lithium ion batteries were never made to be run right out of juice if they do it can harm the battery and even stop it from charging all together - Yes i have a phone here (not a desire) with a dead li-ion battery from letting it run all the way down to 0% now it won't charge and the only way to get it going again (if i'm lucky) is to "bump start" it with another battery.

Now i don't know about you guys but i would rather my phone turn off at 10% and charge ok than have dead batteries at 0% just my 2 cents
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbdags:
Personally I don't see what the issue is. If you know it is going to shut down at 10% (same as mine BTW) just keep that in mine. Rarely let mine go below 30% before sticking it on a charger (at home, work, car, etc) ......
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warlordxxx:
Precisely which will actually make your battery last longer :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superliam:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warlordxxx:
No matter a new phone is a new phone but you will still have the battery problem even if the phone registers at 0% it will be saving some back so that your battery has enough juice to charge again :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jiia:
Warlordxxx is totally right.

Li-ion batteries must never run completely out of charge or they won't work again. The voltage also drops at the end of the charge making the phone unable to run at such low voltages. All modern phones shut themselves down when the battery goes low enough. This is not a bug. It's only a matter of how the system decides to represent the state of the battery. Li-ion batteries also lose about 20% of their capacity per year.

My phone can run down to 5% when the screen is off because the voltage is still decent for sleep operation. But when you turn the screen on and try to do something with it shuts down because the required voltage is not high enough for operation.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renegade8164:
It may differ a bit with the percent. My htc desire with standard rom, my phone shuts down between 4-9% and it's about the same with the RCMixHD -rom I'm using right now.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Number22:
My Desire started acting up after a couple of ROM flashes (I believe these are the main culprit here) and it kept shutting down at ~9%, which was quite annoying for me.

So, what did I do? I charged the phone, turned it off, kept reconnecting it to the charger until it was instantly green, wiped battery stats, used until it turned off by itself (~4%) and charged it while it was powered off and again kept reconnecting the charger until it was instantly green.

Long story short, I calibrated it properly and it goes down to 0% again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warlordxxx:
What you did my friend is calibrate the phone to the battery so you will still shut off when there is x% amount of life left in your battery but your phone now sees that as 0% ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p5x:
I agree it may not extend the duration of the charge but it does mean it's more accurate than it switching off when it thinks there's 10% left ;)

It's really annoying when you think you'll manage to make it home with 15% battery left but find it switches off at 10%

Has anyone been able to replicate my experience of getting down to 0% when you charge the phone overnight whilst it's been off?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warlordxxx:
Certainly now that is the best problem to address the innacuracy of the software itself

If you are doing hard multitasking near empty battery, then the battery is in hot draining roll and is gonna skip 1-5% announcements. If you are not doing anything or very few things with your phone near empty battery it will show 5% and so on... Atleast my phone does this.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jahan11:
OK guys something weird just happened to me this afternoon, I flashed the reflexTsenseHD v1.8 rom last night and i used the phone today and by the time i got home my battery was at 15%. Then i decided to drain the battery to the point where the phone turns off (full discharge/recharge).so i kept playing with it. at 6% battery the device went into hibernate(this is a feature of the sense HD roms) but i turned it on again and kept playing, at 2% again hibernate->again turned it on and started browsing the internet, after a few minutes i checked system panel and realized that the battery was at 0 but i kept browsing for 5-6 more minutes but the phone didn't switch off and i started to worry so i plugged in the charger. before plugging it in i checked the voltage in system panel and it was at 3517 mV. Can anyone tell me what's going on here?

BTW, i have never done the calibration trick (perhaps i should now!!??),i have turned off power saver in settings of this rom,and i've noticed recently that my battery drops from 100 to 90 very quickly even with this reflexTsenseHD rom.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dur09:
today it happened to me :/

it shuts down at 9%

im running leedroid 2.3

Could be done this by BATTfix?

ok i tested my battery

i inserted my battery to non-rooted 1 month old desire and it didn't shut down at 10-%

than i inserted that same battery (cca 7%) to mine rooted desire and it showed 0% but still was functional, but just for 1min and than it turned off

after this i again put this battery to that non-rooted desire and it showed 0%, but was functional for few secs

so it drained 7% in 2 boots...

so i think any calibraiting is pointless
