i notice that my phone have problem of losing connections (phone signal) quite often which causes the phone cant make or receive call. i usually go outstations and everytime when i travel i have this problem. i thought it was the problem from the android 1.6 but after updating to android 2.1 through the SE website the problem is still there. recently i end up with the conclusion that my phone have problem with GSM signal, whenever i go to outstation where there is no 3g/WCDMA in the area but suppose to have the GSM signal i got this problem. please bear in mind that i have change and tried the setting for WCDMA ONLY,GSM ONLY & WCDMA/GSM PREFERED but the problem still persist, and please bear in mind i have tested with my other phone and it works fine at those places. please advise if this is the problem of the phone itself or just the setting of my phone. Tq
Exactly same case here,losing signal without no reason.Only one time I saw all 4 bars.Other phones works just fine.OS updated to 2.1,problem remains same,and that also affects to battery duration.

ok well i got my hd2 a month ago everythings going fine except the sms! txts in my area are sent and recieved perfectly fine not the known bugs of the hd2 i suppose..bt the problem arises when i move to another location because it wudnt just send my txts through although i recieve them just fine..i know its not a network issue cuz i have tried my sim in another fone and it works fine also any other sim wud work fine excpet when i move to a different location :s is it a setting problem? and btw i have done the hotfixes etc....any help appreciated
Try switching the 3G mode off when in the problematic area, it can easily be a network operator roaming issue. I had a very similar problem when roaming with my 2G SIM, while having 3G enabled, yet experienced no problem with this on the home network.
hey thnx but unfortunately i dont have 3g here in my country...is is still a problem? any ideas what should i do?
You may not have 3G on your operator, but maybe the one you are roaming on got 3G. I would give it a try anyway.
oh and btw im not on roaming cuz im talking about the problem within my home city and not another just my area as in like its ok when m at home but the problem comes up when im like 10 miles away from home at university everyday..and even at some other places too
Sorry, but i cant think of any setting related to this in anyway, except for SMSC, that shouldn't really be a setting (should be stored on the SIM card). I would try switching GSM frequencies and seeing if it makes any difference.
any chances of a faulty handset?
Sounds totally unlikely.
Hello, I have a strange issue with connecting to the fido network on the latest android.. I live in a valley and the signal wasn't the greatest although it used to always work perfectly .. I could be in my basement etc without any troubles . Now it keeps connecting and disconnecting on me with any subtle movement. (edge /2g), sometimes it doesn't even find the network or sometimes it says that my sim cannot be registered on the network. As an example I have 3 bars but my phone state says emergency calls only..
Although if I go into town and connect to 3G it works perfectly with no disconnections at all... I've tried cleaning the connectors, the sim itself, even swapped the radio itself.. tried different roms even.. tried reflashing the baseband..
There are several 3G tweaks although never came across any 2G ones..
Might anyone have any ideas what I could do? Could it just be that because there has been no official release of 2. 3. 3 for fido or Rogers? I'm truly stumped...
Any help would be truly appreciated.
Thank you..
I have an unlocked unrooted S3 on Vodafone UK. This issue has been happening for the last few days whereby i have full 3G/H+ connection, but absolutely no data is working. No email, no websites loading, no whatsapp, nothing. The issue goes away as soon as I restart my phone, but then it comes back after a few hours.
Has anyone experienced this, and if so, how have you fixed it?
Go back to your network/phone provider .
Or flash different modem .

I am having this issue too. I may be wrong, but i realise this happens if i turn off my Wifi, the 3G will not want to connect to the 3G network.. Anyone else having such problem?
By the way mine is International version (Location: Singapore)
I'm having a similar problem where I have a good 3G/H/H+ connection but data seems to drop intermittently across all applications - I get the same sort of error message in browsers/facebook/twitter that you receive when you have no signal.
Anyone have anything similar and know of any fix?
I am not having such issue so far. I been updating my SGS3 using over-the-air update. I guess the MODEM has been updated as well.
Go to market and download "fast dormancy"(by gorkhanmoral) then disable it and reboot.
Check if your speed has improved,if it got worse then enable it again.
U need ROOT to use this tool.
I it didn't help, then flash a different modem
This is good modem
Cwm flashable

have you got any battery saving app like juice defender installed in your phone?
Is mobile data working at all? or is it constantly "uploading" but never "downloading" (up arrow lights but not down).
If what I just described is your issue then this is a network issue relating to android in general.
Basically your phone will be connected to two radio towers and gets confused as to which one it should use, rebooting or flight mode may help force it onto one tower or you may have to speak to your carriers "high network technical team" or whatever they are called for you to get them to force it onto one tower.
I had this issue on the HTC hero (a long time ago now) and it took 9 months for Orange UK to work out what was going on.

Congrats. Orange Luxembourg (my gf's network provider) still hasn't got a clue.. But they seem rather clueless about everything except writing invoices.
Flashing an Asian modem on her S2 made the issue far less prominent since they seem not to get confused by antenna ping-pong. (Tango Luxembourg, my carrier, has this issue too in the main city)
Hello,
Ive been facing some network issues on my new OP3 (bought 1 month back)
The phone didnt have any problem at all till yesterday when there was a sudden loss of signals in both my airtel SIMS.
OP3 is recognizing the SIM cards but doesnt show any signal. I tried swapping SIMS, my SIMS are working in other phones whereas other SIMS still dont show signal in mine.
However there were 2 instances where i regained signal and was able to make calls while is was at a particular location, but even that lasted for just 20-30 min.
I was using android vers 3.2.4 when this problem happened, tried updating to 3.2.7 (latest) but it still hasnt fixed the issue.
Thought it was a null IMEI problem, but Settings show IMEI nos. of both the SIMS
Tried manually selecting networks, mostly it says cannot connect...sometimes it doesnt do anything
Tried changing preferred networks in *#*#4636#*#* , hasnt helped either
And yes I tried soft and hard resetting too, hasnt helped.
Please do suggest any probable solutions.... Thanks You
Solution: Disable "Dual 4G" option in the "SIM Cards & Mobile networks" settings
Hello, good day!
tl;dr: Phone stuck to no cellular signal, until I reboot, restart mobile radio power, or turning on airplane mode for a short while when turning off again.
---------------------------------------------------
I recently bought this phone as an upgrade to my old one. I transferred my sim, and all seems to be working pretty well. I lived in an area with very poor signal reception, so overnight, the phone doesn't have any signal reception other than WiFi.
The problem is that it remains that way (stuck on 'no signal') if it cannot get any signal for an extended period. The problem persists even if I went to an area with good cellular reception even in the city.
The problem seems to fix itself when I placed the phone either by activating airplane mode for a minute, turn off "mobile radio power" then back on again, or reboot my phone but it starts to get annoying over time.
I tried changing the preferred network type to the one my old phone used (LTE/CDMA auto (PRL)) to fix it, but no luck.
Does anyone know a permanent solution to this?

Hello,
By default reset, you mean a factory reset or a SIM card reset?

I tried the SIM Reset first and so far it is working perfectly but I need to monitor it first to check if the problem would persist in the long term.
Will update thread on the result.
================
Update: unfortunately, the SIM reset doesn't work. However, I tried swapping the SIM card to see if it makes any difference and surprisingly it did. I put in a SIM in slot 1 from a network with a good signal reception while my previous one on slot 2.
I would like to also note that the current SIM 1 has a successful Xiaomi activation & verified to use the chat features on the Messaging app while the old one does not.
All seems to work perfectly - but need further monitoring I can call it solved. Will update the thread on the result :good:
Update 2: The workaround above doesn't work. I sent to Xiaomi this issue.

My sim is in slot 1. still dropped calls. Seems like network disconnects and reconnects.
When call is dropped I immediately redial and sometimes no network.
Hi i have the same issue No signal, is there any tricks or tips or tools to fix this?

Unfortunately, the workaround I posted doesn't seem to work also when my current SIM 1 can't pickup signal for at least 2-3 hours.
Yes I also experienced drop calls most notably when the signal drops below 0 bars (not no signal with an "X").
I can't find a good rationale a factory reset would solve the problem since nothing on my phone (modified settings, modded, or downloaded apps) that can affect the cellular network. So, I won't be taking that road for now.
I already sent feedback on Xiaomi and advice me to send the log files *fingers crossed*
Any updates..?
My father is experiencing similar experience with calls hang and even bad call quality, while pocophone f1 on the same network works flawlessly.
Data problem
I have a problem with my RedMi Note 9 Pro, when I make a call on 4G Airtel network(at least 4 bars) the data connection drops to an average g of 1.2kbps.
I have used the same Sim in the same area in my previous phone the Honor 9 Lite but it doesn't face any problem. Whenever I get a call on that phone the 4G data speed increases.
On the RedMi note 9 pro the data gets completely disconnected and even after I cut the call the data remains disconnected for 2 minutes or so. After that I resumes back. It even gets lesser speeds that my previous phone.
Sometimes the data drops without any reason. It stays disconnected for a minute or so and then tries to connect back. It has got horrible ping.
Anyone facing the same issues?
Having the same issue here. I modified phone settings several times and try with another apps but nothing working so far
I MAY HAVE FINALLY FIGURED OUT A POSSIBLE SOLUTION!
Disable "Dual 4G" option in the settings.
No issue so far for 3 days now
