Hey guys,
i have constant battles with my HD2 running Android. The mobile reception and logically because of that APN is also not workin properly.
Example: I'm at home and have full mobile-reception and internet is working flawlessly. One second later nothings workin... The reception display shows 4/4 lines and one second later 0/4. But i didn't move.. Same with WLAN and APN..
I guess it's not a "build problem", cuz i had this with lots of builds. So it's maybe a windows mobile thing. I have flashed 2.12.50 radio and chucky droid rom.
I tried 2.14 but my conversational partners had very strong echos. (with MIUI-Build)
I searched the forum and googled but i didn't find any solution for this..
Really need this to be fixed.
thx bench

I don't know a lot about android. But i had similar "echo" problems when i used a TMOUS based rom. I use miris 1.80 based rom with 2.14 radio in the uk on vodafone with no problems.
Miri Rom Here: http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2520
Have you tried a RMNET based android build. The data connection with those is slower but generally more stable. I use ppp but do get the data drop off. but turning the mobile data off and turning back on again sorts the problem.
It would probably better to post such questions in the android general section.

Same problem here. Signal drops quite frequently and for now i like the sense builds which you cant switch to 2G (unless im missing something). With other builds if i switch to 2G its sort of fine but slow data connection.
Same here, I live in holland and use the 2.14 Radio. I don't have a data plan yet (the phone is brand new), so it doesn't really bother me.. yet
we really do need a fix for this
Is nobody havin an idea?
Me 2
I´m having the same problem...anybody know a cure for this?
no problems here ... 2.10.5 radio
Same problem here,tryed different combo's with wm and Android,radio's etc......signal drops now and then.

Always signal drops here.. 35% of the time. Mesured with battery indicator.. only in Android not in winmo and I didnt find the right radio and rom for less drops.
Thats so strange. About every 10mins i have a totally data loss. Tried different radios and roms. Nothing helped. As i tried 2.14 i had strong echo issues.
i uploaded some screenshots. They're all taken at the same place. So you can see how strange these reception changes are...

Boy I'm glad to see this thread, I thought it was just me!
I am having exactly the same issue, and have done since using android builds. The only workaround I have is to switch on plane mode, and then switch it off again which seems to work for an hour or two. But then the signal goes all wonky again.
I wonder if this is also affecting the battery life. I'm sure I read somewhere once that loss of signal results in more battery use as the phone is constantly trying to locate signal.
I have tried a number of radio/rom combinations with no real change. As mentioned above, if I switch to 2G the signal seems more stable, but the data is unbearably slow.
I'm in the UK by the way.

I have the same problem. I might try the 10.2.5 radio as above?
I had this issue with Android that signal drops for no reason. The trick to my problem? Disable in the Netwok Mode "GSM/WCDMA Auto" and choose "GSM Only". Now the signal should work flawlessly without drops. It worked for me
Ok so I have been searching for an answer to my issue for a few days but have had no luck. My wife and I both have an evo that we got at the same time. I rooted both using the same method and and we both have the cm7 Tom with the kernel it comes with.
For the past week she has been having connection issues. Sometimes when accessing the android market it says network connection error and other times it works fine. When accessing the internet it will sometimes not load the page and say that the site may be down. The has been happening a lot to her lately. When these things happen I try the same sites on my phone and they work fine. This is all done over a 3g connection. I have tried resetting the phone to factory and then redoing the rom and nothing helps.
Any suggestions?
I'm having the same issues as well. I've flashed a few different roms and my radios are up to date.
I had similar issues and found that by tweaking the Pri, Prl, and radio...can be found in dev section, that I was able to overcome... could just be a bad combo with that rom
VyperVainz, do you mind sharing what worked for you? I'm running synergy with the latest pri, nv and radio.
I think this is a network issue. My wife and I have been having both data and texting issues. She has a blackberry so not Evo isolated.

I agree, not the best radio for gps tracking. After my workout was incorrectly logged i decided to go back to 37p.

I've used .36P and .37P, both of them frequently fail to establish a data connection when leaving a wifi connection.
Example: Leave home to go to work, when the wifi signal fades, the phone will, at least 50% of the time, not get a mobile data connection.
Also, randomly the phone will just lose a data signal when not previously on a wifi signal and the phone will not re-establish a mobile data connection.
Going into airplane mode then back out of airplane mode fixes the problem, however this issue has made me just use .30P instead, which doesn't have this problem. The phone will still make calls and receive text messages when not on a data connection.

Agreed. I had my data drop last night on 37. That never happened to me on 36. GPS is better on 37, but data speed seems to be about the same. Of course, all the little random issues could be related to other things like ROM, kernel, and AT&T network. My opinion from what I've seen so far is that they are almost the same. Judging by the version numbers I'd say they are very similar. I'd be fine with either one, and see no reason to switch back from 37.

I have never had any of those problems on 37p. You should change to a radio specific to your region.

Yup... I see this on 36p. I don't really feel like updating to 37p though. I have had this issue with the Atrix since day 1, regardless of the radio.
37p has been great for me. I was having a few issues with the reception and gps but 37p fixed it for me.
I was on 30p (a CM7 nightly from a week ago) and a couple of days ago, my signal was completely dead (in areas where it should be strong) until I did a reboot. Yesterday, my GPS did not work at all (had strong signal too).
I updated to 36p (I wanted 37p but I was unable to find a link) earlier this morning and so far am loving it. Signal is strong, WiFi is great, GPS is a champ.
But does anybody have a link for 37p, if anything goes wrong, would like the ability to update. All links I found seem dead.
Thanks for starting this thread. I really wasn't aware of the differences in the different radios for AT&T, or any phone for that matter. My phone is using 15p at the moment, and I am thinking about flashing 37p, although I don't know what the possible disadvantages of doing so are.
I am definitely going to keep an eye on this thread.

37p, switching
I haven't tried 36p, but I'm experiencing some issues with 37p so I'll give it a test shortly.
Using stock rom and radio I would often get the same issue as DeathKoil, with the phone failing to reestablish a data connection after being on wifi then losing data while underground.
Now, on the CM9 beta, my data is a little erratic and GPS takes ages (30-60 sec) to fix. Maybe that's a beta issue, but I'm hoping a radio swap will resolve things.
Slightly OT - what, if anything, is recommended to be wiped when switching between radios? And is there a way to confirm which version your phone is running?

I'm currently using 30p. On Neutrino latest which is 36p got me apn issues. I lost my data signal. I'd like to test European and Asian baseband. Can anyone share 'em here? On 30p using Indosat (one of Indonesian carrier) always got full hsdpa without losing to edge. When I switched to XL,I got hsdpa unstable. Always getting back to edge.
I just wanna test which one working good with my current operator (XL).
Btw,I've just tested European radios and I lost my signal completely. I guess it's not compatible with my Atrix AT&T. I think Asian radios would be the same too. Now,I'm using 37p n don't notice any differences with 30p.
The one thing that's keeping me from fully enjoying my new Nexus 4---hassles with radios, both wifi & cellular.
1) On my home wifi network on all devices except the Nexus 4 I see solid, constant download speeds of 25Mbps. My Nexus 4 consistently only gives me 4-6Mbps. If I disconnect/reconnect sometimes I can see speeds slightly higher than that, but only temporarily. This isn't generally a huge deal because 4-6Mbps is fast enough for most things on a phone, it just bugs me that every other device in the house gets 25Mbps.
2) Of bigger annoyance is my cellular data connection, it drops off multiple times per day. The cellular signal strength indicates full bars, along with the 'H' icon indicating I'm connected to T-Mobiles HSPA+ network. Voice still works fine but the data connection is dead--nothing will connect--Speedtest, maps, Google Search, Facebook, etc. This forces me to either turn on/off Airplane mode or reboot the phone completely to regain my cellular data connection. On my previous SGS2 I never experienced this issue. It drives me nuts to not be able to pull up a phone number, directions etc at the times I need it most.
Does anybody have any similar experiences or suggestions on how to remedy these issues?
Edit---FYI I'm fully stock but rooted. 4.2.1 update not yet applied.
1) Check APN settings and make sure your account is properly provisioned by calling T-Mo CSRs. I had a similar issue with my Nexus One back in the day that was fixed with a reboot after they reprovisioned my account.
2) Flash factory image, in case it was a bad flash of the radio. It happens.
3) If 1 & 2 fails, or you don't want to try #2, call the Nexus hotline and get yourself a replacement.

Did you ever find a cure for this? I am having the exact same issues on my O2UK Nexus 4, anytime I want to use the data connection its almost guaranteed not to work and involve reboots, Airplane mode on and off etc
Im having the same issues. My data just drops wifi and cellular. I dont get full signal wifi or cellular. I live in india and flashed the latest .54 which was released in india recently. I managed to at least get cellular data going but my strength still low and data drops still on both wifi and cellular. Its super frustrating. Any ideas?
try reflashing the OS on your phone and try changing the wifi channel on your router.
changing the channel on my wireless router really helped signal to all of my devices. there may be lots of interference on the channel you're on.

I may reflash OS but i just got the phone today so ill slow down a bit. I flashed the radio one would think that would be enough? Anyway I have many other devices on my wifi without an issue and i used wifi analyser and theres no overlap with other routers and i experience this on 2g 3g and wifi so it looks like some modem problem. Unfortunately the phone was bought 3 months ago in the States and im here in india so im kind of stuck
There are known issues with the Nexus 4 wifi speeds slowing for no apparent reason. Also, known issues with the LOS (loss of signal). You can find information and bug reports on both of these issues.

Pretty bad. I ran a test a few weeks ago and I can go up to 450 feet from my router (old Linksys) without a problem, and after that it gets iffy, and finally disconnects at 500 feet. I am seeing an average of 20 Mbps on wifi. Now if I can only get my cellular connection (non-wifi) to go faster than 1 Mpbs max I would have a usable phone.
I have a slightly diff issue.
If I reboot my phone, I connect to my router no problem. If I turn wifi off (to save battery) and then turn it back on.... it shows my AP's as out of range.... but I do see my neighbours AP's. I also have an N10 with has no issues at all with wifi (and none of my other divises have issues either).
When I bought the N4 they seemed to be having an issue with it when setting it up.... but I was not paying close attention. I am wondering if I have a bad phone on top of the "normal" wifi issues that other are experiencing.
Think I will revert back to stock and swap it for another phone to see if I can at least just turn off / on the wifi rather then reboot to connect (how sad is that?)

I picked up a cheap belkin router and set it to AP mode.
My N4 has no issues at all with it. Connects when I want it to right away and is fast / solid connection.

First of all your baseband is out of date. So flash the radio in the factory image and check your stuff again.
looks at the baseband -_- *sigh*
I have the same speed problems with my data connection(wifi is working absolutely fine)....Baseband is .97
any suggestions
I seem to have the same issue, baseband is .97. I'm getting about 200 Kbit/s download speeds on WiFi, the signal is perfect and the connection is fine (tested with a notebook at the same location).

Same here, my wifi works way better now on 4.4. No more heavy buffering on youtube, even when HD.
Yeah, my WiFi speeds went way down as well. My flashing process was manually flashing the factory images, booting up once, going back to recovery, doing a factory reset + dalvik wipe, then installing the new version of the N5 port that includes all the libs and what not for the N4 from the N4 factory images. Baseband / Radio are properly updated.
So, granted, there could be something messed up with the N5 rom - although up until now (that is, before flashing the factory images and using their updated version that includes the N4 libs) WiFi worked fine.
I'm gonna try and give it a little while, maybe reset the device, I dunno. I'll be keeping an eye out for updates from you guys though. If mine fixes itself by a random chance, I'll let everyone know.
My wifi speeds are terrible. They were perfectly fine before on jellybean and all my other devices have a fast connection so it isn't the network.
The same to me... it's strange. With my S4 Active my internet speed is around 20mbps and with my Nexus 4 is around 4mbps (both are connected to the same wifi at the same distance). My baseband is .97.
An update: I had about 200 Kbit/s speeds at work, but suddenly have 20-30x better speeds at home with weaker signal. Go figure...
I had slower download than upload when checked with speed checker apps.. 0.78mbits/s
But forgetting the network and setting it up again has fixed it back to where it should be for my meagre connection @12 to 15mbits/s.... Hope it holds
