Hi
Since last update (9 dic) everytime I restart the phone I can see the 3G icon on the systembar but the 3G data connection is off on settings.
I have to set the 3g data connection on and then off to make the 3G icon disappear.
With the 3G setting off I reboot the phone and the 3g icon is back again ...
Any one is having the same problem ?
Thanks Iosu
How did you turn off 3G? Did you just turn off "Data Connection".
I am trying to figure how to do it on me AT&T HTC Titan.

yes I turn off data connection
I think your issue is different
Hello Iosub,
The 3g icon could be just indicating that you are using the 3g voice ( not the data). On my old Nokia's they would show the 3g icon even though I never used data.
Hello nemets,
Unfortunately not all the carriers allow the 3G connection setting in their Cellular setting. Though the option does exist as evidenced by the How-to Cellular settings page on the Microsoft website.

thanks for your answer.
i don't think that is the issue.
1. Because when i go to settings the data connection is off
2. Because if I turn on and the off the data connection the icon disappears
3. Because this was not happening with firmware 1.08 this is new with version 2.1
i think is a bug with the new firmware , lets see if someelse has the same problem..
Thank you
found a fix
I have found a fix.
I have turn on flight mode and reboot.
then I have turn off flight mode and reboot
I have reboot 5 times and no more 3g icon on startup. Only if I have the data connection on prior reboot witch is the correct behavior
hope is no back again
Iosu
I've noticed strange behavior with 3G (H) indicator.
Sometimes the icon appears even with Data Cellular off, I also see that restart behavior.
Will try the Air Plane mode trick and see if it solves this ODD thing.
What I don't understand is: why in the H**** this is done by firmware? Shouldn't this be controlled by the OS?
PS: when Cellular Data is OFF, even if the icon is in the screen, there is no connection working.

I was having the same issue.. After my trick it has been fixed.. try it
also. now my batery live is longer
Iosu
I also noticed this bug, once yesterday and twice again today.
However, I couldn't identify what triggers the issue, it seems to be happening out of the blue on my phone.
At first I thought I've fixed it by turning cellular data on/off but that proved to be only a temporary fix (as it occured again).
I also agree the issue has an impact over battery life. Usually my battery drains very slowly overnight (~2%) but last night it drained 10%. I examined the Battery Status graph and it clearly showed the battery drain going down abruptly around 5 o'clock.
I will try the airplane mode fix and report back.
UPDATE
I tried it but didn't work, maybe I didn't do it right:
- turn cellular data ON
- turn flight mode ON
- reboot
- turn flight mode OFF
- reboot
- turn cellular data OFF
After a few hours, the H icon appeared all of a sudden on the status bar...
the issue is back
Now the trick does not work :-(
Time to find a way to fix it
HTC response is to reset.. Why in the hell they always give the same answer ?
Iosu
Hello,
My Titan has this problem too.
I have made the "Airplane" solution but since yesterday the 3G icon appeared again.
Any solution for this or should I reset the phone?
Thanks

Another Trick
Hi
I have found another trick.
step to fix
1.- Set DataConnection ON
2.- Go to a place where you lost the antena coverage connection completly, example a garage
3.- Go to DataConection turn OFF
Now move to a place with Antenna coverage
you will see that there is no more 3g/h simbol.
Hope this helps
Hi to all,
Unfortunately I ve got the same annoying problem after the last update through Zune. Hope this trick works,but maybe a permanent solution is another HTC update to correct this bug...
The above trick worked for almost 24 hours,now the bug appeared again. Thanks for your help anyway. One question please : what if I hard reset the phone? That means no more updating through Zune? Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas!

Hello,
Did anyone tried to make a Hard Reset to see if this problem disappears?
Thank You,
Santos
I guess that hard reset may be the solution since the bug came up after the last update.
I think I m gonna try it.

hi
Report to HTC support, we all have to report if we want them to fix it
Thanks
I have already report it to HTC Greece,they have not replied yet...I'll also report it to HTC international support. By the way, I have not mention any effect on battery life or any other function. It is just annoying...
Thanks

Greetings to all.
hey guys,
having an issue with me phone!
it randomly turns off network connectivity.
eg, disables reception so i can't make calls,sms or use data.
i have tried rebooting phone
i have tried doing factory reset
but it still randomly does this at times.
also when i go into my network settings i get PROCESS.COM.ANDROID.PHONE IS NOT RESPONDING!
so i can't even turn on/fix/choose network!
*edit*
i can sometimes access my network settings without the error but i have now found out that EVERYTIME i reboot the phone my network is disabled on startup and i have to go to network settings, then get the error and force exit then reopen it again and it enables the network!
could anyone share some light?
thanks.
Ahh , old error..
which version are you running on currently...?
Join the Club.
I had 2 Razrs both had the dreaded self power down issue so a manual power on was the only way to turn it back on. One of the phones the 3rd actually just died on its own no batter power nothing. On all the phones I had this network issue, it would be at 4G then when it switches to 2G it actually turns the network off completely and then goes to 2G. It does this on many occasions and sometimes I'm wondering if I'm on a call and signal strength goes down I wonder if I will be cut off. Had all the phones have issues weeks apart and awaiting the return of the 3rd phone from the service center I can't offer much more than what I have experienced so far. What I have found on this phone is that the signal quality isn't great in fact the SG2 I"m using right now on average has a better signal than the Razr. I'm also wondering if the self power down is attributed to the loss of signal, where the phone continues to look for a signal and don't find one and then powers down?
Try to check your smart setting.

XT 310???????????????????
I think its a typo
anyways, I had the problem.. but then I upgraded the baseband to 85P and it is okay now..
If the baseband is correct then, install the application CATLOG and start logging... in case the phone throws the error, catch the data and post it here..

Hey I got a P509 with cyanogen 9 bluepill on it. for whatever reason my connection bounces every now and then from 3g to edge...no good reason for it...I almost always have a full set of bars when I'm at home. Now I have an option to connect only at 2g speeds but is there any way to prevent it from going from 3g to edge? maybe an app or setting?
not happening with me
where do you live
i live on east coast(not telling you any more)
Try using 3g only option.
1. Dial *#*#4636#*#*
2. Click 'Phone information'
3. Scroll down to the first dropdown and select WCDMA Only
If you dont get good signal in this option then i think its probably a problem in your network or location:silly:

I live 45 mins south of chicago. I get full bars everywhere outside my house. Inside I get between 3-4 bars (4 being full)
Dialing that number pulled up a testing menu, within that testing menu I was able to click on phone info and set wcdma only. Thank you that should do it. I used to have that option when I was runing the old 2.2.2 original android system but It was under wireless and networks not testing lol.
As far as the latest CM afaik I'm using the latest "stable" version. I would rather stay away from nightlies and such as this is my full time phone.
In either case this should be solved. Can't really test it as its kind of random lol but be assured I'll be back if it messes up haha.
Hey,
Just rooted and flashed CM 11 onto my HTC one and everything is working perfectly besides 3g. The only issue I have is that the 3g isn't working very well, if at all. Sometime I can get it going for a couple of seconds but that's often it. Sometimes it modulates between 3g and h before shutting off.
I checked the APN so I don't think that's the problem. Has anybody else had similar issues? Have any solutions? Do you think I'll just have to wait for the next nightly to come out and patch this over?
Thanks!
Still Nothing
I've tried cycling down to other versions. Most notably stable versions of both 10.2 and 10.1. Even in these stable versions 3g connectivity doesn't work. This leads me to suspect I'm missing a file. I noticed threads elsewhere in which people had to flash special files for the radio? Not sure if this has to with this.
Also something about S-Off. Could really use the help because right now 3g doesn't work in any version of CM.
You're saying you get H often but not 3g? Because that's how it is supposed to work

Nothing
Even when it goes to H it immediately shuts off. Nothing really sticks for more than a couple seconds (3g nor H).

access the phone’s test menu by dialing *#*#4636#*#* From there, tap Phone Information and you just need to change the “Preferred Network Type” and try and force the settings you want.
Hey All,
I unfortunately messed around with the LTE Band Settings on my US 998 (US Cellular) in the hidden menu and am now worried that the phone is locking to specific bands. Right now, no matter how many times I reset network settings and restart the phone, it will only lock to one band (12 or 4). The lock is dependent on which LTE Band Setting I select. Anyone know where in the hidden menu I can reset the band selection? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I had a similar issue... I turned on airplane mode and then turned it off and this fixed it... This was with Model H930, which doesn't have the option to select bands.. I.e there is no checkbox and it uses the band you select!

Looks like our phones have different options/settings then. I'm using RX Monitor, an app that shows you neighboring cells. I've been toggling airplane mode, restarting, switching to auto for hours now and it only sees the band that I've selected. Going crazy here.

Hmm.. That's how my menus look like too...
Make sure your 3G is set to automatic and for 4G, as I said toggling airplane mode fixed the band issue for me...
It might also be worth selecting the mobile network again, search for all networks and then select yours...

Can you install RX Monitor from the Play Store and tell me what Bands come up on the Neighbor Cells? Mine only shows Band 4. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sf.rhino.rxmonitor

Mine only shows Band 3.... Now listen to what I did... I selected Band 7 in hidden menu and RX monitor showed all Band 7 sites... Turned on and off airplane mode and connect the Band 3... All sites were Band 3... Main thing to note is that Band 7 signal is much weaker then Band 3 for me... Is this the same for you on Band 4 and 12? if Band 4 signal is stronger your phone is designed to connect to Band 4 over 12 to save battery...
Thanks,
Sean
Yeah, if I select a band, it will only show that Band in Neighbor Cells. If I switch Airplane Mode on and off, it still connects to the same band. If I pick a different band, then it will use that band until I select a different one. The main thing I'm trying to figure out is this - Does turning airplane mode on and off change bands for you? Or not?

Yes it does change band... If I have selected Band 7 in the LTE hidden menu, when I turn airplane mode on and off it goes back to Band 3 which has the better signal!

Finally got it to work again! The second factory reset was the trick!
This has been something I was thinking about. I was playing around last week and I used a hidden menu via dialer to look for LTE bands that my phone might support (there is a thread here on XDA where a member wanted to see what bands our Cdn phone supports, and I accessed a menu and the screen flashed and disappeared before I could read it lol...I know, I know...., )
Since then I have been getting crappy LTE reception in places I have had no issues before, and it has been killing me as I have been trying to remember what screen I was trying to look at. I was looking for a way to reset the radio somehow. I think your situation and mine are related.
