hey everyone, maybe I have a bogus phone, but I've tried multiple roms based on the 3.27 antenna, DCD's WM6 & WM6.1 versions.
Each time, after the flash (both radio and rom) it takes me over 5 minutes to get a signal (RT or EVDO). After it gets a cell signal, everything works fine including GPS. But after each soft reset, it takes me 5 minutes to get a phone signal again.
I thought it was the ROM, but after trying it with multiple versions, I am at a loss.
Any ideas?
FWIW MSL/MDN/MSID codes are intact and correct. Signal area is consistently 4 bars. Phone functions fine after getting a signal.
**SOLUTION**
1. Have MSL code ready
2. From phone app, type ##PST#
3. Click EDIT
4. Type in MSL code
5. Click VIEW INFO in bottom left corner
6. Click M.IP SETTINGS
7. Change value of MIP REGISTRATION RETRY to 1000 ms
8. Change value of MIP MODE to MOBILE IP PREFERRED****
9. Click MENU in bottom right corner
10. Click OK
11. Soft reset device
**** note, I had to adjust MIP MODE 3 times before I got it to work.
Thanks everyone!!
especially limezednem!!
no issues so far. My phone boots up super quick now since i did this wm 6.1 and radio update. Feels kind of naked but love the speed. It has frozen on me on multiple occassions when trying to uninstall certain programs but as far as phone connectivity, i have had no issues since i got it working. Connects right away.
I had the same issue. I flashed back to the original ROM and it signal was acquired in a flash. I have since swapped the phone from Verizon, but I am reluctant to re-flash, though I REALLY want the GPS functionality... please some one come up with a cure for this slow signal malady!
anyon else had this issue?

I originally had problems with the dreaded Error 67 with the new ROMs (tried everything). I went back to the stock Sprint ROM and it disappeared.
On a whim I tried the upgraded ROM again (glutton for punishment). After it rebooted I couldn't get a phone signal... I went into Connections and turned off the phone and waited a minute and then turned it on again. Got a signal in less than 10 seconds. (Error 67 are gone too... go figure!)
Try that.
I'm w/Sprint and had the same issue with radio ROM 3.27,it took about 2 minutes to get cell signal after soft reset,then the data connection got disconnected every single,i was so frustrated since i did a lot of internet radio streaming and IMing.I flashed it back to 2.17,all is working fine with the old ROM,I think i can live w/o build in GPS for now.
You might have already tried this, but if not, try flashing to DCD's 2.1.0 ROM with the 3.27 Radio. This is the one and only ROM I've ever flashed to and probably ever will flash to unless some godlike official update is released. I stuck with this because I feel it's *easily* the most stable, has fully working BT AND has GPS & Rev A enabled (network permitting).
If you haven't already, try 2.1.0.

Try programming your phone OTA, and updating your PRL.
*22803 for telus, *228 for some other carriers. Not sure what you have, but that could be your issue.
Mine did this at first, I dont know what I did to change it but it went away. Problem is, when I updated my prl to 60711 or whatever the new one is, the problem came back. I reset on my way to work and it didnt get a signal until well after I parked (15 min drive) but for some reason sitting at home it would get the signal within 2 minutes. For me it hasn't been that big of an issue since I only soft reset once a week or so. But I am scared that this will occur in a time of need. Glad to hear there are others out there who share my problem.
SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME.. i made a thread about this too....
did you get it resolved?... its really frustrating.. i flashed it flawlessly to my room mates phone... then failed on mine.. figured it was my phones fault.. got a new one... and SAME thing on the brand new phone... where am i going wrong?
all ID numbers were correct... esn, mdn, msid. etc etc.
help me please
same EXACT Thing happened to me.. with 2 phones.. however, I flashed my room mates phone flawlessly and is still working without an issue...
double post... damn computer
no luck.
sticking with 2.17 for now.
i have SORT OF the same prob............ i get signal right away but it fades in and out from evo to 1x and back ...... sometimes it can take me a half hour to finally connect a phone call because of it.
any ideas?
bump because i really would like to know why this is happening to a few select people..
maybe ill just wait for sprint to release the official rom/radio... and go from there
I went back to 1.4 radio and custels 1.1 rom, now my internet isnt working....
go figure
i have a feling it might have to do with prl's.
try ##786# reset it and then load latest prl i hope this work
I have the latest PRL, still no luck.
I have Verizon and just dial *228 and when prompted press #2 and it updates my roaming capabilities (PRL) all over the air with out having to look for PRL's over the net and manually updating them.
I don't know if Sprint has this feature but if it does try it out.
Ohh yeah i was playing with the registry and found a way to make your signal stronger ( I think ) I don't know if it realy does work but it give me higher bars
go to
HKLM -- System -- State -- Phone
There are two strings.
One is Signal Strength and Signal Strength Raw.
I change the value to 100 on both and get full bars. I dont know if it does give a real effect.
But after a little while it goes back to the original signal value

diid You do ##786# and reset phone ?
I have the sprint 7800 with 6.1 mobile and I am having an issue with my reception as well with this radio. When I make / receive phone calls I get a crackling sound. It's faint but none the less enough to be annoying whne talking on the phone for awhile. Any one else having this problem or have a solution to it? Thanks ahead of time.

i know this has been a fairly well known issue but has anyone with much better comp skills than me been able to get an idea on what is causing the connection to time out?
I was looking through the registry and saw a few things but since I wouldn't have a clue for any commands I don't wanna try.
I have an extra Titan laying around but both were flashed to the new ROM and I can't get 2.17 downloaded again to load on to that one to compare the registry.
Any help at all? ? ?
Everyone seems to be focused on GPS which works just fine for me and no one cares to try the connection timeout problem.
Thanks
yea I realized that happens a lot
i havent had that issue suprisingly, but i use exchange throughout the day...
also does anyone have the 2.17 RUU they could email me (phillips.h @ gmail.com)....i can't get it from the htc site it won't complete a DL.
thanks
yea its a good thing, when im not by a power outlet all day but it sux bc at night i like to stay connected to aim, but it doesnt werk. I have a feeling that its not a bug just a way for sprint to limit the bandwidth that is used.
im having a connection problem as well, mine is a little different though. When i upgraded to the leaked rom, it put me back to prl 60610. i upgraded the prl back to 60611 and everything has been working good except one thing, at my home i get poor sprint evdo signal. I used to be able to roam on alltel's tower and get a full evdo signal. now for some reason on this rom i can only get 1x while roaming on alltel's towers, even with the same prl. I don't understand why that would happen. does anyone here know?

i had to manually update my prl and i havent had the dropped evdo that some people have been reporting. my brother has the same rom and prl but lives 3 hours away and has the evdo dropping problem, go figure. i think there are quite a few random problems with this rom. i really would like to get evdo roaming back...
News about the internet connection issues
So I don't know if this is the same as what you are experiencing, but I am able to connect to the network (it shows connected), but it won't load the pages. I went through a bunch of steps with Verizon support and got to the point where I could do what I just described. Initially, I kept getting either the error message saying that I couldnt connect for an unknown reason or username/password was wrong (even though I double checked those). I reverted back to the VZW ROM and everything works again. I'd really like to get the GPS and REV A action going, but I just can't seem to make it work. I followed the instructions everyone gave, too. If I make any progress I'll let you know.

I always seem to get the rom updated, 3.27 radio. DCD, Dizzle, or any other rom produces same results. Calls/SMS work fine, even 1X data works. Anytime it goes to EVDO it can't transmit data. I get the dreaded 1012 error. I've run through all the threads here, and i have no idea where to go from here. Any suggestions? If i force 1x, it works consistently, and the signal is at about 5 bars constantly. If i enable EVDO, the signal drops to 1-2 bars in teh same spot. I can reproduce this all the time.

the 1012 error is probably due to programming: mobile ip profile 1, username and pass. you might try assigning yourself a new NAI by creating a new username on sprint.com (from your pc)
as for the signal strength... you are seeing 2 different signals. EvDO and 1xRTT are on completely different bands, and should be different signal levels. However, the sprint evdo icon replacement (you know how the antenna icon on the sprint build shows more "bars") is misleading - it has a max 7 bars for 1x and max 4 bars for Ev (i think - going from memory- im at work)

I can't change that info on the site, it's a family acct and my dad has the info for that. I am on the phone with someone now, and it looks like they are changing some stuff on their end. we've troubleshooted the phone, she says if this doesn't work, they're blaming the phone. I'm not ready to blame the phone yet
EDIT: She fixed it! apparently she disabled and re-enabled my data services and that did the trick. Cool info about the signal strength indicator, i thought i was only getting about 50% EVDO. Apparently i'm getting 2-3 in here, and i got 4 when i went to lunch so I suppose it's about right.

tell them to assign you a new NAI. then run IOTA and let it populate the mip profile with this new info (could take a few hours after they assign new NAI before its all the way thru their system)

I'll keep that in mind if this ever happens again. It's fixed and working like a champ now. I am curious as to why this happened though...it has to be something with me flashing all these roms and whatnot. If i keep flashing ROM's is there any chance that this will happen again?

officially: i dont know
unofficially: i think that as 3.16 is an internal, testing rom, it does some strange things. the radio is a major upgrade, and the official updater goes through a longer process. i first upgraded using the real RUU, and i have never lost any settings. but something about breaking the update down into parts and flashing the radio individually wipes it. that said, i dont think we will see this again, unless we see another upgrade that is this major.
I'm on Vodafone UK, at some point this afternoon lost my signal, just had the no signal icon when I checked my phone.
I didn't change any settings, it was working fine received a couple texts, went to reply later and had no signal.
1st I tried going to settings->wireless settings and switching phone off and back on, no joy.
2nd tried Switching phone off and on, no joy
3rd tried settings->menu->all setting->personal->phone->network change network selection to maual, then select vodafone UK from list, still no joy
4th put network selection back to automatic, no joy.
5th turned data connection off no joy
Put my sim in girlfriends unlocked Nokia worked fine and I could make a call.
Returned sim to my phone.
I have noticed it will stay on no signal for ages, then will be trying to find a signal, will appear to have found just a phone signal (full strength) but attempting to make a call will just sit on the dialling screen for ages but never connect and then gives up without an error message after about 40 seconds. My data connection is off when it finds a signal, if I switch it back on it seems to be trying to connect GPRS then after a while back to no signal. Leaving it alone when it appears to have found a signal it stays for anywhere between a few seconds and minutes before going back to no signal.
Sorry my post isn't easier to read, been up since 4am getting tired now, and my phone is doing my head in.
Just to stress again my phone went from working to not just sitting on the table no settings changed or anything. Please help
I had a similar problem to this after flashing a ROM. My signal will be ok for an hour or 2 then disappear, never to return. If I switch 3G off it seems to solve it for me.
Me too
Xenton, I'm on VF UK with 1.72 ROM, and also have random signal drop outs. It happens even when static in the rear part of my house where I can see for 30+ miles and must have line of sight to multiple masts. The coverage maps on VF's website say the phone should be getting good signal, but sometimes, as you say it drops out, to return soon, later, or (but only very occasionally) not at all. I hard reset my phone a short time ago, so I'm pretty sure it's down to the ROM/radio. I've the feeling it's something we just have to live with, unless we wait (forever?) for the VF UK 3.14 ROM or install the WWE version.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. At work this morning my phone was working fine, then when I returned home same problems, no resets or changing to settings. All this makes me think it is a problem with VF, I have posted on the eforum but this is my second day without a reliable signal at home now after 2 years faultless coverage at home. If it keeps up, I may have to drive to a signal and call VF. Did you get your phone through VF, if so you should get onto them for a replacement or repair if it is your phone.
One other curious thing today at work I got some txts from VF which automatically change setting for mobile internet and picture messaging. They still worked fine at work, but I hadn't requested the settings be sent and the old ones worked fine, but then so do these new ones, just not at home, where I am mostly signal-less.
Xenton,
I used to be unable to send MMS's until I hard reset my phone. Oh, and despite requesting the MMS settings via the customer services and the VF web site, nothing ever arrived on any of the occasions it was supposed to.
I'm out of my initial contract after a year, so think I'll do well to get a new hand set. It's more of a relatively minor annoyance, as opposed to what seems like your more significant issue.
It only really happens a noticeable amount at home, so I’d put it down to something to do with the number of cells my phone could presumably see, and perhaps it getting ‘confused’ (?).
I’d be interested to hear what you find out on this, if you reach a resolution/find a solution.

Oh boy oh boy....
My TB has been giving me some issues lately. Notably, data issues. Starting Sunday morning, it would not connect to 3g or 4g. No matter what I tried. Reboots, battery pulls, Fix permissions through Rom manager, turning the radio off and on, Airplane mode off and on, 4g only, 3g only. Nothing worked. I was running the MR2.5 Radio with Das BAMF 3.0 RC4. So I flashed the MR1 radio and put CM7 on it. That worked great. For a day. Starting this morning, it started doing the same thing. Will not connect to data.
When I say that it wont connect, I mean it will not send or receive data. In the "about phone/network" menu, it will state that it's connected to LTE or eHRPD (3g), but it will not send data. Ping tests fail. Nothing goes through. Texts and calls work fine over 1x, thankfully. So what do I do?
Also, when I try switching to 3g only, it gives me an error that phone.android process has stopped working. Then my radio goes out completely, til I switch back to CDMA only.
Does this have something to do with my phone flying out of my jacket pocket while riding home from Milwaukee? I was cruising at 70, listening to music, then BAM! No more music. Check my pocket, phone is gone. I pulled over to the shoulder, got out, and walked back to find it on the other side of the 3 lane highway. The battery cover was about 40 feet away. Aside from some scratches on the kickstand and the ring around the camera lens, the phone appeared unscathed. It worked fine for 2 weeks after that too...
Should I call VZW and see if they can replace it? Revert back to stock and bring send it in?
:help:
maybe try and get a new sim card first.
Well, 4g works now, but I'm barely in a 4g area, so it's spotty. 3g will not connect no matter what I do. I have tried a few different combos of Radios and ROMs, to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions?
im having problems here too im on rc4 3.0 with new ota radio just this morning it srarted acting up im stuck on 1x im in,mesa az
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I would pull out the SIM and just make sure there's no crud in there. Slim chance, but checking the md5 of the radios before you flash just to rule that out. Other than that, I can't think of anything. Isn't there a diagnostic you can run on these?
ok guys im trying again im still having the same problems as OP everything works fine over wifi and 4g is a little spotty but pretty stable for the most part and i didnt have issues till i went to the newest radio i have done just about everything and i mean everything battery pulls flashing, recover and evan go to bone stock and i did manage to get 3g working again but then 4g wouldent connect and evan than 3g was not that stable so i personally think the radios are some how damaged from radio flashing anybody have this happen to them
I'm also having this problem but I'm.using CM7 1.2 with the MR2 radio I get 4g but when I go to web pages it won't load if I switch to 3g only the pages load. this is really pissing me off because I call Verizon and let them know about the issue and they say nothing is wrong even those they say they are receiving many calls about the problems and try to trouble shoot me I'm not stupid I know more about this phone then them. Btw I also tired mutliple radios and roms and still no lucky I'm in Houston Texas
I do not think its a root or radio issue. I have Th3roy on mine with the leaked radio its got no google voice or browser on 4g, 3g is fine. One of my buddies ahd two non rooted tb's they're both doing exactly the same thing.

call verizon beacuse you are not the only one i posted the number in the 4g issues thread already this is pissing me off because i tried many roms and radios and no luck
you probably ruined the connectors on the battery cover. theres some little gold tabs on the back that connect to the phone and act as an antenna. before you try anything else i would try getting a new battery cover. also try pulling out your sim card to see if theres anything blocking the connectors.
Verizon is having some techs check their end of things. They want to see if there is a problem with their network before they send me a phone. I pretty much know it's not the network, as nobody else is having this issue in my area, and I've traveled outside of my area with the same issues. I guess I have to wait patiently until they decide to replace my phone.
I have no issues when i switch to CDMA Auto PRl, I get zero 3g drops in data.
However, when i have it set to CDMA + LTE I always get 4G and 3g drops in data.
Whatever the problem is, they need to fix it, its getting ridiculous not being able to use 4G all the time.

I've been having a lot of issues today with my signal strength dropping to where it's become unusable. I have an AT&T US Atrix 4G. The signal strength is normally very strong, and is now barely showing 1 bar in and out. I'm also have data issues where I can not connect to HSPA normally.
I did update to the leaked ICS last night, and have reflashed and wiped several times. Since then, I have went back to GB 4.5.91. I am still having the problem back on GB. I'm using radio 37P.
One thing that I originally did not think had any bearing on this issue was I did hurl the phone across the room this morning (landed on carpet) as my phone kept rebooting during calls on me. I opened up the phone to see if anything was noticeably disconnected and it looks like the cord is still okay.
Is there anything else besides the radio that could be causing me the grief? Anything that I can try besides erasing the radio and re-flashing? Anything with any settings? APN settings? I reset the APN settings to default and I see the 4 AT&T APNs load.
Thanks in advance.
Also wondering if there would be any use in me changing the kernel.
Any suggestions?
Not to pester anyone who may have advice, but just wondering if this Atrix (which is running well other then then having an incredibly weak signal for mobile networks) is ready for the trash.
Please do not bump your thread superfluously. Thanks!
