Hi,
I have an unlocked HTC hero from orange. It is having some strange problem relating gps(global positioning system). The gps works extremely well when I am connected to network through 2g network but do not works at all when I am connected through 3g. I don't see any relationship between them also I can use gps in airplane mode but can not use it when there is no sum inserted. What I think is that as the phone share common gps, 2g and 3g chip when the phone turns off 2g radio it also turns off the gps chip. Is somebody else experiencing the same problem. I also reset the device but problem persists. Is there something I can do. Is it hardware fault or bug in the software considering gps is working very fine on 2g. I currently have latest genuine Rom from orange so cannot try changing the Rom.
Thankyou
Arpit
Hi Guys,
My optimus calling service is not reliable at all in 2G mode. Is it just mine or there is really a problem with 2G networks. When I switch to 3G everything seems to be ok. Sometimes it drops the connection during the calls. Sometimes I can hear the other side but they can't hear me.
Overall it is a very good phone apart from calls dropping.
No issue
Been using it for a week now. Have flagged the 2G explicitly to conserve battery. Not had any case of call drops or one way traffic.
Cheers,
Vikram.
I use only 2G and I speak a lot. No problem at all.
Thanks guys, so I assume that next step should be to leave it for repair. I'm afraid that they will return it without any changes as this behaviour is not so regular.
Also my phone sometimes drops calls. I've resolved the issue replacing SD card, from Sandisk 16gb class 2 to Transcend 8gb class 4. Now works well, hope the firmware update resolve the SD compatibility problems
Is it really possible the only reason to be in the SD card? There is no much sense on this but who knows?!
I think it's not a sd-card problem, because i have the same problem here in Hamburg/Germany and for me it's the provider 'O2'. Same thing before with my Samsung Spica and my girlfriend ('O2' too) has a X10 mini, same calldrops...
Maybe you can try the simcard with another mobilephone!?
Greetings
Yes I can confirm the drop calls with o2 germany. I was two weeks ago in Köln and had the same problem but to be honest I had similar problem with e-plus.

I use 2G mode to save battery life. I've not had any problem so far.
I have the same problem too. I will try to figurate if excists in 3g mode
Maybe your network has issues , or your signal is quite weak . I have full signal in 2g at all times
The problem could be strictly with the network reception in your area where 2g is very limited. With repairs they may be unable to detect anything wrong with the phone itself. See if you can find someone else on the same network, preferably different phone, and checking their status on 2g.
unfortunately my home has excellent reception, i have a second old device(nokia 6310i) and it works perfect with it
I have this problem too + missed calls.Keep reading but no solution so far.Flashed to prime v2 and nothing.I don't think the problem is in the network because i try with two different sims and problem exist but will buy another sim and see.
Same problem here. Also the voice quality is really horrible and sounds like it's coming through a pipe LOL.. Is this normal or?
FnH84 this is not normal.I thing that is software problem(other brands has the same problem).Maybe any process or application i don't know but this phone is useless as a phone.Everiting else works great but ............I will keep trying other rom-s other sims and keep reading for solution.
Ok, i found a convient solution for me. downloaded ,status bar 2g 3g, from market. i have always data off unless i need it(in 3g mode always). this program show in status bar if your network is 3g or 2g without having data on all the time cause consumes much battery. give it a try
Ok i install the program but it always shows 2g even my data is off.Is that normal.What the program show in your statusbar.
did you uncheck the 2g mode from the settings?
HI.
something very strange have been happening with my phone and my carrier's signal.
I have a GSM galaxy nexus running CM 11
for some reason, I can't have both a 3G data connection and my gps work at the same time.
I've tried lots of other combinations, (wifi on, wifi off, data on, data off, 2g only, airplane mode) and with all of them my GPS works perfectly.
the second I allow my phone to use the 3G connection, the GPS dies stops working completely until I reboot.
I've tried probably 6 different roms so far, including going back to stock and trying all the stock images google released for my phone.
then I decided to try another sim from another carrier, and guess what? GPS works perfectly, whether is 2G or 3G. so I'm thinking, is my carrier's 3G signal somehow messing with my phone's GPS?
I can't really find anything about this two things conflicting with each other. hope someone here knows a little more about it, or maybe give me a little hint as to what else could I try next?
thanks!
after trying pretty much everything, I bought a new sim card from my carrier and guess what? problem solved.. or so it seemed.
my GPS worked perfectly for about 2 days. then the exact same thing again. 3G enabled? no GPS.
I hope someone reads this and could help. I have no idea what to do anymore.
Hello to all.
I have some data issues with my Z2.
I'm on t-mobile HR (croatia).
So, if the phone is set to preffer LTE data network and when I leave WiFi network the phone can't connect to data network, if there is no LTE network. Than I must set the phone to preffer 3G, phone connects to 3G or 3G+, and than to 4G when I set it to preffer 4G again.
When the phone is set to preffer 3G than if I leave WiFi the phone immediately switch to 3G.
In both casses, after the data network is found (3G, 3G+) and I set the phone to preffer the LTE phone switch to 4G.
I foud this problem since the phone is updated to 4.4.4 Kitkat and now I'm on 5.1.1. Lollipop (.264 version) and the problem still persist.
Please help me to solve it because it's really annoying.
And yes, the whole area is covered with 4G signal, but sometimes is weak.

well, I don't feel confortable with rooting my device and flashing custom software..it would be great to solve the problem without that
Hello all,
I started to have some problems with signal strength.
It's not ROM-related (currently the newest CrDroid).
If I cut my WiFi and set the phone to prefer LTE signal sometimes I'm not able to use data. It's constantly switching between LTE / LTE+.
Sometimes it will connect and it's fine but most of the time it isn't.
It only happens in places when the signal is poor.
If I set the phone to prefer 3G it works perfectly normal.
My gf got the same phone and didn't experience that issue.
I believe that for some time after I received this phone it worked normally.
Maybe it's firmware related issue?
I heard about an issue with the poor signal on this phone...
Thank You in the advance for your answers.
