This is really frustrating! :evil:
The signal on my phone shows good reception, but meanwhile the phone is off. When people call me, they get forwarded to my voice mail, although the phone never rang in the first place!
Does anyone else have this problem, and better yet... how do you fix it?
Thanks!
can you call from it ?
I usually don't know that it's off and 'in disguise' when it happens. I only find out later when someone tells me that they called but my phone was off. I check the phone and it's on. I try dialing and it doesn't work, so I hang up and try again, and... presto! It works again!
How weird is that?
I actually know two other people who are facing the same problem, but none of us know how to fix it.
maybe a newer rom ?
Hello everybody,
I own an Orange-FR branded Hero, and it get often disconnected, but doesn't seem to "know" that. The network bars stay stuck, and the "H" is displayed, as if there was a 3G connection.
I still can use Wifi (and enable/disable it), but cannot disable 3G/GSM network, not even going into "plane" mode. The only way to get out of there is to reboot the phone.
Looks like a radio bug for me...
Any ideas ?
Thanks
Yup. Which radio version are you running?
And, are you running the phone stock or with a custom ROM. If custom, try flashing the latest radio (read up on it before doing so though, as some people manage to brick their phones by not reading the instructions)- ie. don't pull the battery out, just let it do its thing.
Hello, thank you for your answer.
The phone is like new, I didn't try to update the OS neither the radio, because of the warranty...
My radio version is 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18.
I'm aware of the flash methods, as I often updated my P3300 with roms found right here
Hello there,
still have the problem, seems it's happening 24h after each reboot of the phone, but sometimes less.
By looking at the message log with the OSMonitor application, I get a lot of "rmnet fifo full, dropping packet", and the time shown in the messages is wrong (near 5h20 instead of 22h40)
Thanks for your help.
Got a new phone from Orange (with a crappy customized rom).
Same problem
what does orange say about the problem?
Hi,
each ppl I could talk to told me a different thing.
Sometimes they say it's because i'm moving to another cell (aren't they joking? it's the way GSM works...), someone told me it was because of a "localisation" problem. Another time my file was "stuck" or sent to a wrong service...
I don't think they have any return on experience about this phone.
probably it is just sales bull**** they are told to say to you...
it's guys from level2 support, that's worrying
They change my phone tomorrow... again...
i sometimes have a similar problem, phone gets stuck on 3g network and only shows as uploading data, i think it might have something to do with facebook sync. i haven't had this problem for a long time now but back in the day it used to happen alot
third phone, same problem
i don't use facebook sync
Same Problem
I was having the same problem, especially when it came to 3g / wireless usage - the phone would suddenly lose all connection to the masts but be unaware of it.
My solution so far is to downgrade the radio - the latest one is the worst for it, I'm using 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29 at the moment and a lot more stable than before...
(using Villains 5.2 rom)

yes I have been getting this issue too.
It uploads data on 3g but doesn't download. I found what appears to be a temporary fix for this issue but it comes back every now and again. I think it is an issue with Orange/Tmobile cell towers.
thanks for your replies,
i'm using the 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29 radio
is there other radio firmwares available ?
thanx

The one listed in my sig is the latest (and arguably the best) radio.
OMG they locked the recovery mode
im on orange and have no problems?To be honest when you talk to them they read from a script, noone there actually knows anything! just searching through a database kinda like windows help and support. If the problem is continuing with new phones id say its your cell area
I have the problem everywhere in the country, they changed the phone, they changed the sim (i'm trying another one right now), ...
That's what makes me think of a network problem.
Whenever you speak to them about issues like this always ask to speak to "high technical team"
They are the only ones that know anything and won't read of a script. They are usually very very helpful as well (or at least are in the UK)
This is really killing me, someone please help lol heres how it goes
On boot, takes a good bit for the 3G icon to appear, eventually Phone has 3G icon gray with arrows then switches to D [still gray], i click something like a browser or Slack Radio it goes to connect and if its fast enough it does [icon changes to RED/GREEN arrows] but usually its a gray D, then the icon disappears completely. After about 60 seconds or so the icon reappears and I can continuing surfing the net/listen to music..etc. Then after about a song or 2 this happens all over again. Im in place with good reception and i just dont know what could be going on here. I tried pulling battery, doing the *228 option 2...anyone know how i can fix this
just tried hard reset, no dice
A nice excuse to call verizon and get a replacement device (most likely for free).
I've called them, they try and shoot me over to Samsung, samsung trying to tell me to get a hold of my 3G service provider...verizon did tell me i was due to upgrade, but i love this phone (when 3G worked) i just dont understand what froyo did, when im downloading stuff it works fine, but as soon as I stop and try to access something use 3G i have to wait for the 3G to "reboot" so to speak cuz thats when it disappears for minute, then comes back for me to use...but with streaming music you can see how this is an issue
I was having this same problem when they were pushing the EA28 update a couple of weeks ago which never successfully updated to my device I might add. I went into the Verizon store and after the rep spent about 10min on the phone with whoever.... Told me they were sending me a new phone. Received new phone with the EA28 update already installed 3G and all data worked GREAT! Attempted the Froyo update 6 times yesterday all unsuccessful and now the new phone I have is having the exact same problems with data connection. Comments and ideas would be appreciated. But ya better believe I'm goin into Verizon if the update attempt I'm doing now doesnt work.
I'd get another replacement from verizon tbh. If then it still doesn't resolve your issues ask to speak with a manager and tell him your situation. They might hook you up with a free upgrade.
Im going to go down to the store so I can get a face to face and show them whats happening. I mean i just wanted to make sure this wasnt some new thing on Froyo that im not understanding. I see it goes "D" [dormant] but it shouldnt disappear and take a minute to start up and let me use it right...thats poppycock!
Are you using "juice defender" by any chance?

You're lucky that yours just takes a minute to re-establish the connection, mine will just keep giving me network errors and telling me to check network access ect., depending on what app/service I am trying to connect. Exactly the same things that happened when the EA28 updates kept failing on my last phone only 2weeks ago. Also the Froyo update that says will take 15min to download takes over an hour even though my 3g stays on constantly when downloading from Verizon.

Had it installed [but not in use] when I updated to Froyo, but I just did a hard reset and am still getting issues...
...my Froyo update came in in about a 1/2 hour or so, no drop issues ever when I was on 2.1, my 3G icon stayed in the status bar even when I was out of service range [it would go in to 1X] but on froyo its just disappearing no matter where i am]
This crap has happened ever since the first "froyo" modem leak for me (but not like I could call vzw and complain though until now) and had to resort to using the DL09 modem to increase my usage reliability by a small percentage. This crappy service only seems to affect people in certain regions, you all see where I live (look to the left) and you guys should update your profiles to reflect at least a region. I odin'd all the way to stock and did the ota's to froyo and ran stock froyo for 2 days with the same old ****ty results. I did get a replacement (in february) and still got the same exact dBm signal levels and data speeds at home that I had with the other device. But the voice mails with no missed calls and bulk texts and data lockups are really getting on my ****in' nerves. I'm so glad they finally did the ota cause I can guarantee that the issue will be wide spread in various regions. I spend all day driving around in a work truck with a coworker that has an epic (sprint) and he has absolute perfection in his service everywhere throughout the city. At the end of a 10 hour day I will have rebooted twice and have tws at 47% coworkers tws will be at 1% and he pays $35 less for unlimited everything, which is a kick in head too. Pondering etf to maintain my sanity and not be worried that my 70 year old mother is trying to call me with an emergency and having my **** go to voicemail. Now on to customer service to build a case. Ugh, pissed off rant over.
*edit* I use no juice defenders no task killers no set cpu or anything even remotely close to apps of that nature.
good day.
Not running juice defender or anything else for that matter, my phone is basically stock out of the box right now other than CWM 2.5.1, un-rooted. I did flash super user to phone after I received it, and that still appears in my apps list after factory reset but I am not rooted.
I've spent at least 8-10 hours [combined] searching the internet for issues like mine with the disappearing act the 3G icon is putting on, and i've noticed it to be a Froyo issue [even saw some complains on the Incredible on froyo and even on different networks other than verizon]. I'm not 100% sure its a Froyo bug, but either way it doesnt seem to affect everyone. I stream music a lot and i can't be having this damn 3G disappear on me and always reconnecting after like every 2 songs.....im off to verizon, i'll let you know what happens [tho they are prob going to offer me some kinda upgrade like they did on the phone, but i was happy with this phone at 2.1 and overall still am, i just want my 3G to stop glitching!]

I agree, just want my 3G to work the way it is suppose to. Dont really want an upgrade because I've never really gotten an upgrade that I actually thought was an UP-Grade. *From Verizon anyway* Still downloading software update, been well over an hour and at 73%. At this rate Verizon store will be closed by the time I'm done with this update attempt.
"UPDATE FAILED or INCOMPLETE. reason: IP_START_UPDATE" Anybody know the possible causes of this failure?
Sounds like you are indeed losing your IP address. I have also had sporadic problems but they seem to be in low service areas. Typically I remain stationary and use local wifi so it is unconfirmed.

Just got back from Verizon, non of the techs could figure it out, i got this phone awhile back from a friend [so naturally theres no warrenty..etc] so im stuck gonna have to hit craigslist and such to find a new one, then sell this one i guess
FINALLY FOUND A FIX [or should i say it found its way to me thanks to myself posting this issue on multiple forums lol] I can confirm that method 2 has worked for me. Dont just dial *228 with fascinate already activated, you have to remove the service completely [by activating another phone is how i did it] then reactivate it and you should be good to go. Heres a write up.

Glad to hear it, i know how frustrating it is not knowing what is going on or how to fix it. I searched since Froyo OTA looking for an answer, luckily someone saw my plight and gave me that link as well so i thought i'd share it on all the android forums i have a name on. Cuz doin this never occurred to me and i tried everything else lol
Every now and then for no apparent reason, text messages fail to send and I get a message with a little red triangle next to it.
It happens on 2g, it happens on 3g, it happens with "full" signal and bad signal. It happened pre modding, and on various versions of various ROMS. What's worse is that sometimes the message does send, and I end up sending it multiple times because I think It hasnt sent.
But my real question is "Why does it even do this?", and I don't mean what are the things which cause it to fail, but why does it even tell me, why wouldn't it just keep trying until the message was sent, as if there was no reception? WHY IS THIS A THING?!
In what world would I NOT want to retry? Imagine for a moment you'd given a letter to the postman and he dropped it because for some reason he had terrible grip, would they just leave it there? would they pick it up and give it back saying "nah mate, I failed"?. I'm certain the postie would try again, and again, until eventually he got it in the sack and into the van.
I wouldn't mind so much if I'd actually figured out how to consistently get the message out of the conversation for editing. It seems to be pot luck whether touching/tapping/holding the little red triangle/message actually removes it and pops it back in the box for resending.
If you have just read all that and can answer any of the problems that are driving me insane, then I would be very grateful

i installed lg bridge, after messing with the sim card and battery and sd card a bunch, i finally got it to go to the firmware update screen. lg bridge said the phone was updated and it recognized the device for a minute.. so i went to error recovery and it started but got paused at 46% with an error a few times. the screen on phone never went past 0%
i waited and waited and waited and nothing.
tried plugging and unplugging and nothing happening.
now the computer wont recognize it again and the phone will do absolutely nothing
please help i love my v10
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i have had my v10 bought it preowned in october 2016. no problems. i was going to root and rom it, but found it to be much more difficult than the g2 or my friends phones that i would play with.. i never had any issues so i never did it. the newest update came out and i updated it. still no problems. i did notice my battery drains really fast.. but it is not swollen. i have been on the newest update for at least a month. i moved from texas to hawaii 2 months ago.
i was at the beach and wanted to take a picture. i took the picture, then used the power button to shut the screen off. a minute later i wanted to take another picture, but the screen wouldnt turn on... at all. so i held the power button down and it turned off.... but now it wont turn back on. i tried removing the battery and get nothing. i get nothing when i plug it in to charge it. however if i take the sim card out and put it back in, then put battery back in then plug it in, it will show the screen that is the empty battery with the circle thing for only a moment then shut back off. it was early in the day when i went to take the pic and should have had about 80% battery.
again i have had zero problems from my phone. i try holding volume down and power button and i get nothing.
i just moved to hawaii and dont have the money to buy another phone right now
i have to figure this out. im always the friend that fixes peoples phone so i figure i can get this done.
in tmobile store after removing and replacing the sim we were able to get the lg load screen then it shut off.
then switched it with my daughters sim card and it took me to the lg load screen then the white tmobile screen... then it shut off.
any fixes for this? i have to drive all the way to the other side of the island to buy a battery which i was thinking might work .. but there are no signs on m y current battery that it is bad .. other than knowing it is a year old. i have always been careful with it to try to let it charge fully and not always plugging it in and out.
so i tried reset and it went to green screen and it says apps watchdog bite

and you expect the forum to fix hardware flaws?
so your saying this is only a hardware issue? My phone was working fine until I got that update to 7 and then after that it started randomly rebooting periodically and then this last time it went off and came on with that green screen. also, the phone would work for a while once I got the software and reinstalled it manually, but you never knew how much time you had,, a day, maybe two, or an hour or two. And this is purely a hardware issue is what you're saying? Sorry for the redundancy of the questioning. just trying to grasp a better understanding. But to answer your question about expecting this forum to fix my issue is not necessarily about what was said more so how it was said considering the wealth of knowledge and expertise that this form is comprised of for somebody to only suggest changing Hardware as a easy way out with no information given answer, as opposed to saying "hey that can't be fixed because it's a hardware issue and something is burned up or broken on your motherboard somehow"! That is more what I expected.

Look, the issue is a common error and you're not the only one to have had dealt with it. They all got the same answer and either they fixed it themselves (you can go to YouTube for that) they adapted and came up with a workaround (again, YouTube it) or they moved on to a new phone.
What do you expect? You're either gonna have to do some work, or spend some money. Either way, they told you what you need to know.
bootloop on which version of firmware you have if on nought then we are on same boat....

You just dismissed what could've been a completely insightful discussion. If you think he's just asking for help, you've greatly missed the point. We also want to know the what and the why. Like why does this happen and what is causing it? Is that not the purpose of forums? To discuss a topic freely through community input?

Came here two years later to say the exact same thing. Not that the forum owes anyone anything, but it's frankly quite boorish to dismiss a perfectly reasonable question by using semantic stop signs.
Ha, jokes on them, this section of the forum is literally a ghost town now. This one post is likely the only post that shows up on a Google search.
