anybody here experiences the same problem as i do?
my diamond's reception is nowhere near the levels that i have with my SE K610 or my Nokia N95 which always shows full network reception level... occasionally minus 1 bar
but my diamond always overs around 1 - 3/4 bars
is this normal?
i sent my phone in to HTC and they just did a software upgrade for me
wondering if i should send it in again
Change your radio. Find one that works well for your area and network.
i've tried .06, .11 and now .18 and the problem persists!!!
i wonder could it be becos of my phone itself
i face the same issue too, as with my wife's set as well. i was using the trinity before, compared the reception between the trinity and my wife's TD, trinity had better reception, even for wifi. my trinity had full reception but the TD only had half...
ok good to know that i'm not the only one with this problem...
btw, the issue seems more severe with 3G networks... on GSM it seems to be a whole lot better..
anybody here who has network reception as good as on other phones?
i remember i had a hermes and a trinity before and those had very good reception too
up for more contirbution
i m from qatar. recently i shifted to another apartment abt 500 away frm my old apt. in here QTel(operator) is having 3g network.
normally, wen i m out i get good 3g signal but at home i get edge or gprs.
in new apt i m facing strange problem on my TYTN II. wen i enter into living room, the edge or gprs signals also get lost but phone shows good signal strength for GSM. once the data signals get lost i stop getting any calls or SMSs but i can call out.
i had original HTC WM6.1 rom downloaded from HTC having radio 1.65.17.56. i thought upgrading the Radio shud resolve the issue so i upgraded the radio by downloading new official HTC rom frm this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439408 but i m still facing the same problem. my current radio is 1.70.19.09
guys, any solutions for this issue???
Cheer up my friend!!
Dear friend,
I live in Serbia,Europe and I have faced the same problem many times...I just wanted to tell you that your phone is perfectly fine,and work great. However it has a network problem. Network signals,especially 3G sometimes make a lot of mess and confuses the phone. If you leave your appartment and if your signal is fine and phone behaves well,then,it is obvious that your network has bad coverage in,or,around place where you live.
Cheer up my friend,HTC works like a charm.
Other Phones Work fine!!!
thnx for ur reply. i know that i looks like a network problem. thats y i disabled 3g using Bandswicth Appln. but i face same problem. also if i put the Sim in other mobiles they work fine though i don't get 3g which i really don't need. i just want all voice calls n sms to work OK
Isn't a network problem
There isn't a network problem!
I have 2 phones a HTC Diamond and a Nokia, and problems appear only at HTC (Nokia works perfectly).
Why Diamond is only affected by network problems?
From some days my kaiser has no signal or very poor signal. I try SIM in other phone but it works. So i think it's a kaiser problem and do:
hard reset
flash new rom
flash many radio rom
unlock network/cid/security
But is always the same.
So I think that it's an hardware problem then i remove antenna clean the contact (both side, board and antenna),
Nothing. It's always the same.
Let me know if anyone has this problem and how to solve...
A lot of thanks
I'm having the same problem in the US. Recently, AT&T sold numerous towers to Verizon. After that, my 3G/H signal decreased a lot. I can go to COMM manager and turn off 3G and the Edge signal is strong.
Hi guys, I just got my Incredible S yesterday, and I absolutely love this phone!! The only problem so far is the fluctuating signal bars. I'm not sure if this topic has been discussed here, but it seems to me that when I hold the phone...my signal gets weaker. When I put the phone on down..the signal gets stronger. Does a rubber or silicone case help as far as limiting signal interference?
Are you talking wifi signal or 3g signal?

I'm talking about 3G/H. It's such a shame. I really liked this phone, but designing the antenna on the battery cover is a huge flaw. What were they thinking?!!??
I also have the signal strength fluctuations. I have tried everything: changing the SIM card, changing operators (Swisscom and Sunrise), changing settings GSM alone, WCDMA alone, and GSM/WCDMA auto, and soft reset. The only thing I have not yet tried is a hard reset.
I wonder if somebody else has the same problem? The consequence of this problem is that often times the quality of the calls is lousy and/or the calls are dropped.
Please help me..
Have to say, my signal level is dreadful compared to my bog standard Nokia mobile phone in low signal areas, I get no signal on my Inc S while 2 or sometimes 3 bars on my Nokia. It's really spoiling an otherwise brilliant device. One thing I was wondering is if changing radio from the 22_M to the 27_M might help, anybody know what the difference between them is ?
and, data does not work over 50% of the time on gprs, but fine on hsdpa/3g/edge, don't know if that's also down to poor signal reception ?
I had the same problem with my IS. when the internet connaction GSM/WCDMA auto i had many unexeptable call ends. I put the internet connection to GSM only and every thing is ok. Acording to info i have the problem is in some operaters new software when the network type changes the telefone cannot change it normaly.
After visiting other fora, I have a crucial question to ask: is the reception problem (fluctuating bars, dropped calls, WiFi disconnecting) a generalised problem, or, rather, is my phone faulty, and therefore should I have it repaired?
HTC update the radio module immediately....

I also believe that the desire s has this same problem they are similarly designed devices now running with very similar software.
even though at times signal can be great without moving it can drop to nothing and I'll lose all signal, which I believe has caused me miss several calls as they've gone to voicemail rather than ring on the phone.
I'm hoping that an upgrade to the phones radio will fix/improve this over time (the optimistic outlook)

signal
its the antenna design =Fail , put it flat on a desk and dont hold it and watch your signal go up pick it up and its like an hour glass going down
I am now arriving at the conclusion that sound quality and dropped calls (and bars fluctuating) can be explained by a connection problem when using GSM/WCDMA Auto. The problem disappears when using GSM Auto. Any views?
Same here, but it is better on "wcdma only" either. I'm suspectinig it has issues only when switching between wcdma and gsm
Hi team,
I am experiencing issues with the signal refresh taking a awful time on the First at India. I acknowledge there are issues at my place due to surrounding buildings but other androids on the same carrier and even Nokias perform better and get the signal refresh faster.
I am losing important calls and messages due to this issue and have to be handling the mobile from one room where the signal is better but thats not real use of a mobile !!
The device is unlocked and I have changed the network mode to GSM only from the testing mode as I use 2G services only here
Any ideas to help me overcome the issue will help..?
Thanks
