I have a Micromax Canvas HD A116. I live in SantaCruz West, Mumbai. I have a Vodafone connection. From past 3-4 days my phone is not picking up signal as such. Places where I used to get 4 bars of signal, I am only getting 0 or 1 bars of signal. Other times it just latches on to a signal for 3-4 seconds and even if I tilt it a bit the signal goes. This has never happened before. What should I do????

Could the Sony signal be the 3g signal. Reason I ask is my current U and the Tipo both displayed the 3g signal then only when no signal switched to displaying the 2g signal, whereas previous handsets I have had have just shown the strongest signal

My stock ROM consistently changes the icon in correspondence to which signal it is currently using, and it blacks out when it has no signal. So i don't think your S is displaying only 3G signal..

That's exactly what I'm talking about. Rather than displaying the strongest signal it displays the signal it is currently connected to (3g) even when the 2g signal is much stronger.

Also, to the OP - have you tried to repair the phone using PC companion in case there is a driver issue?

Did a repair today and its the same.
Did some testing, i disabled data traffic and the signal was much improved but when i enabled it again the signal was all over the place.
I dont get this on my P500 just the S.
try Hard booting the phone
In 'about phone' what does your build number say?

Sitting in one spot for that ammount of time is that ammount of signal deviation normal?
Does it not just boost signal when needed? I notice sometimes my signal is minimal but if I make a fone call it goes up

This.
Let me explain it.
2g = more bars
3g/h = less bars
It is possible that your carrier doesnt support gsm with only 3g. So its automatiqly connecting to 2g(more bars).

When I listen to internet radio for a long period of time my phone goes into a 1x connection. I have to reboot to get it back to 3g. is there a hack on the phone I can do to stop this from happening like a ip refresher or something. it stuck on 1x until I reset the phone. I believe this is sprint doing this on purpose. even though they advertise they dont do this. I use only around 2 gb of data a month.
any help would be nice. I don't want to have to restart my phone every 2 hours when I feal like streaming online music at work
highly doubtful they do that. cause i've been on 3g streaming for hours on end and dont get throttled. Are you in a bad signal area?
no full bars its possible It could be my phone or I am new to sprint and may not have the same limitaions most people have.
Here in hawaii,I usually get 300-1mbps on 3g. However, at home where my signal is 3-4 bars has horrible speeds,and I also notice the same problem. About 5-10mb and the 1x icon shows up.
Honestly I think its a tower issue.
Does it go into 1x on any tower while streaming?

The bars on your phone have nothing to do with data signal strength. The bars are for voice signal only.

How do we find data signal strength? Or do you mean the bars stand for signal strength and not signal speed?

It's a big annoying, but you have to go into the dialer, dial ##DEBUG#, go into EVDO Engineering (for 3G, since 1X is your voice and LTE is your LTE) and read the Rx Power. It should be different from your 1X Rx Power and your LTE Rx Power (if you have LTE).
I looked for a data signal meter widget a while back and never found one that worked or pulled from the right info (usually people just pulled from the Settings->About->Network->Signal Strength info, which is 1X (Voice).
Here some more info: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/2...to-determine-your-actual-lte-signal-strength/

I can say with a known certainty that Sprint does not "throttle" or "cap" data usage on a mobile device. Only the top < 1% of abusers are contacted by sprint, which is usually a letter of intent to cancel service if data abuse continues, or a notice of cancellation. No "throttling" or "capping"
I just find it odd that my phone randomly goes from 3g speed to 1g only after multible hours of use and there was no movement from the phone where I never had a issue.I can go days or weeks without going to 1g when its on 1g I have to restart the phone it will not go back into 3g mode.

Hello!
I have a small problem for last 2 weeks. I'm on 3 Ireland network. Till now all was OK. For last 2 weeks my signal is jumping from H+ to H to 3g, what is very uncomfortable because I'm 24/ 7 on data. And every time when is changing my data connection is lost. My wifes phone is OK. No problems.
I nuke it, I did all what is needed in software ( or maybe I missed something ? )
Can someone give me a small advice?
Thank you in b advance

Hi,
Having some strange problem with my HTC ONE X+ (AT&T), with signal reception and cellular network bars.... Bars shows 100% network even if there is signal a drop/low signal....
Even with all the bars (100%) signal, some time it shows out of network if someone dial to the number.
Even the network signal bars are constant at full and no dropping / changing, even if there is full signal or low.. but with no signal is doesn't show any bars.....
Even the 2G GPRS data reception is very low....
what could be the reasons and solution..

Hi,,
As far as I found, the back of HTC Mobiles are soft (bendable) and the handsets are having connectors from the main board to the back body of the handset and those are not elastic in nature, due to which after bending the connectors do not retain their shapes which creates loose contact with the anteena at the back. Which is the main reason for network and wifi issuse.
You might have to open the set and straighten the connectors for proper connection and there after have to use hard body case to prevent stress on the back side of the handset.

Thanks for info:thumbup:..surprised even polycorbonate cover also doesn't prevent such issue:banghead: .now problem is how to open the case...I guess it requires special tools...Service center estimated whoopping rs 17000 for repair

I have micromax canvas 2 plus a110q. The funny thing is that my mobile detects only 3g signals but not 2g. When i switch to (2g only) i receive no signals, but with 3g every thing is fine and goes well.
I have tried different SIM's. Even in the network settings i get the list of 3g services but not 2g. I have flashed my android with stock rom and even with custom rom's but the problem persists.
Can someone please help.......
