So i got a diamond for about a month now, and im pretty happy with it except for one problem which absolutly drives me crazy, and pretty much makes it suck as a mobile phone.
Tried searching the forum but can't see anything about this, my only guess is it might have something todo with 3G weak reception.
i still don't know when exactly this happens, under what conditions exactly.
but basically this happens a few times a day.
The problem:
I will get/make a call while having signal.
I click accept
as it is trying to connect the call suddenly all reception is lost and i lose my signal.
basically it fails to connect the call
a second later i will have reception again.
if now i get called again, it will usually give me the same problem.
I have absolutly no idea how to fix this.
tried reflashing the official rom, but it didn't work.
i really hope this is an easy fix, as i really like this phone so far, but seems my wizard worked better as phone.

Hey aRnonymous,
It seems your radio is (1.00.25.05) quite outdated.....try this Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432770
You will find many radios which you can use. Than you can see if your problem will be solved...probably a bad flash from your current radio is causing the problem you prescribed....
Good luck fella en let us know about your progress....
also...look @ my signature...this radio is working great (at least, in my opinion, you have to try many radios)
Regards
Jeroen
Hi, i´ve tested many roms, the lastest Dutty´s and Miri´s, and others and the lastest radio 1.14.25.24 with the bs_rilphone correspondent, and all the radios 1.13.25.24, 1.12.25.16, 1.10.25.25, 1.09.25.35, 1.09.25.14, i´ve tried flashing from sd, and from pc, but iam having a very low wifi signal, sometimes no signal, and no gps signal at all, using garmin.... I dont remember wich was the original radio on my hd, but i used to have a very good wifi signal, and gps signal too. Not happening now
Any help????
edit:
The only way i get a very weak wifi signal, when i stand near by my wifi router....

Don't forget you need to have your phone security unlocked before you can use this radio or you'll brick your device
Already tried that one too.... bad reception....

Have you always had bad signal even with stock rom? If so, could be hardware related so a warranty return may be best option.
If you have unlocked your device as you say, this will void your warranty. However, if you revert the SPL to the stock one, it maybe alright. Possibly someone like Olipro with more experiece returning security unlocked devices might tell you otherwise...
I had a very similar problem (no wifi and no GPS) and here's how I solved it. Remove the battery for 1-2 hours.

Ok!! Thanks!!!
well..kinda solution..i´ve decided to open my touch hd my self, and switch the anthenas, wifi and gps anthena and carrier signal anthena, (2 black wires) now i have a very good wifi signal, and one time the gps connected to sattelites very quick, but when put all the screws back on, (i´ve broken one, very little ones),very difficult to close the device correctly.
Now i have a very good wifi signal, and carrier signal, but no gps signal....
In my experience i will never open my touch hd again!!!
Ok please help.... take atrix back i was within my 30 days and got the thrill yaaa love it . Now i can never get a gps lock once i did a half hour later not acceptable in open sunny clear skys.... Now what ive tried to remedy this situation take phone back got new one same thing tried one on display same thing . Went to the market downloaded gps status ,gps fix, rebooted ,data wipe im not rooted fyi hard reset no dice . im losing patience at this point im in sales and gps is much needed i called lg they said send it to them 2week turnaround and they wil fix it or give me a refurb i send new you send me refurb ok lol any suggestions from here would love to try ive searched this forum and optimas3d for resolution none to be found I cant be the only one i tried 4 lg thrills all the same and yes gps is ticked on it locates maps from data but provides no gps just sits there searching and no im not in a cave this is outside not even in the car.
if it helps for a fix i can root
i will root if anybody believes this would help cmon people no ideas at all please .
Do you have data turned on? I gotta ask because a GPS lock can take a while without data or wifi turned on.
Have you tried GPS Status from the market? If you download that and then go to menu>tools>download. It will download new gprs data which will help with GPS lock time.

Even without Data turned on it should take no where near that long. I always have data turned off and it finds GPS within a minute usually. Now if your going to use google maps you Have to have data turned on which is slightly annoying but eh I downloaded Navigon for that specific reason. Navigon stores the maps on the SD card so I don't need to have active data and Only GPS Fix. Anyway if that is your issue attempt Navigon as it is an "Offline" solution that Only requires GPS Fix.
Yes if tried all of what's been mentioned above even recalibration on my Wifi data everything I can think off Att support wow hard reset is the extent of there support.

Any luck, I'm in the same boat.

Hy guys,
I have tried a lot of roms but always I have the same problem with GPS. It`s slow and unstable and won`t connect to satelite.
How can say for me a good rom?
Thank u
you may have to change your ntp server http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/ use root explore and search in system/ect/gps.conf
I had changed...for my country but the same problem
When you look in different developer forums like CM 10.1 or 10.2 it seems to be a "popular" problem with jelly bean....in 10.2 (Android 4.3) there seems to be an improvement... look from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2039755&page=553
Someone hast make a install.zip with the new GPS-Files of Android 4.3...i don`t haven`t tested it, but some write that it works ...:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::highfive:

OK.. ICS roms have the same problem?
It might be a HW problem.
I have the same issue. I'm considering sending it to service or fix it by myself and lose warranty.
I have found some fixes.
http://androidum.blogspot.ca/2011/0...howComment=1334775736693#c7469811299373050415
This worked for me for some time. Try to put something there to make pressure on that spot. If it helps it's HW problem.
And here are lose-your-warranty fixes:

Hi !
Since about 1 month, I am using Skype a lot. The long calls are breaking again & again & this beacause of the wifi (is activated) can't find a signal. Sometimes the signal come back quickly but sometimes I need to turn it off about 1 minute & then turn on again to find back my network
It's really annoying, so please, help me to fix this.
I tried yesterday to factory reset & wipe all data but it's the same but without my applications !
My phone is a HTC Desire 510 (Nooooo ? ) EU version so 64 bits & I have root it.
So, guess I need the stock rom for the eu version ... Can somebody send a link ? I found it nowhere...
Thanks in advance !
Does your wifi work with your other devices?
