Hi, so I decided to root/unlock my phone to see if I could fix my cell signal problem, it just randomly started to drop signal every time I made a call and I could not send 100% of my texts and would receive a text once in a blue moon. My 3g for data works fine... I changed roms, still couldn't acquire a signal other than data and the same issue would happen after flashing to different ROMs.
So I reflashed RUU to revert back to stock and I still cannot make a call or send a text. What am I doing wrong? I have searched far and wide and lots of stuff, I don't understand about radio files but maybe those would help? I need some pretty noob proof advice/guides to be honest as I've been having trouble with all of this, and I like my phone, so it'd be nice if I could make calls and text again.

hi,
from time to time I experience the folowing:
Suddenly, soemone call me to other phone becuase he's trying to contact me. I see my artemis and it's OK, switched on and signal bars at 90%. I dont know why when someone try to call me appears like the phone is switched off.
I make a soft reset and strat to receive missed calls + sms's.
I have Vanilla 4.02 ROM and I use very often the wifi connection....
br.
im with you there, this is the reason why i went back to my aging nokia 6280. ive tried about 10 different roms and it would never pick up the signal unless rebooted. what happens with mine and a few of my friends was on london underground you would lose the signal obviously underground, when you came out the phone would pick up the signal but never recieve a call or sms. also the gprs wouldnt connect unless it was rebooted. ive had a few htcs in the past but because of this poor show i wont ever purchase another one.
my phone done this from day one of ownership, tmobile told me that firmware upgrades would fix this annoying problem, but it never did.
maybe you should try updating your radio ROMs
flashing different ROMs wont help
done half a dozen of them as well on my phone.

Even, I had the same problem, but since I moved to Radio version 3.21.XX, everything is just fine, no problems since then. Even 3.24.XX is out now, you should definitely give it a try. Hope it works for you!!
Cheers!
Same problem
Thanks for posting. I have the same problem with the same ROM. I'll change radio rom.
Radio Rom changed
Radio Rom changed 3.34.90 . No problems and good quality
I recently got a new EVO as my last one over heated and craped out. long story short i got a new phone and rooted it with this method
[ROOT][GUIDE] HBoot 2.02/2.10 SOFF - There Will Be Root - Upd. 01.04.11
then i flashed the new fresh to start off with. then i decided i wanted to try something new so i went with AVAFROYO and loved it. then i decided to try cynogen 6.1 and read the easiest way was to just use the rom manager from android market somewhere so i used it. it wanted to me change from amon RA to clockwork so i let it. flashed CM 6.1 decided it was crap compared to AVA and flashed AVA back. then i sat around for a day enjoying that my phone wasnt ringing off hook all day as usual. but thats where the problem is. i cant recieve incoming call/texts/or voice mails. well i get the voice mails and texts when i make a call out. ive tried factory rest, nand back ups changing roms, udpating all my raidos and such. and the 3g just wont stay connected or my voice data.
ive exhausted all my options i think.. so theres what i did and what ive tried i figured id try everything else i could think of before i posted here for help. but here i am no closer to recieving calls.. so please HELP!
and also im almost to the point of unrooting and restoring stock RUUs to see if that would fix it. any suggestions would be greatly appriciated thanks
Did you nand like it said to? if you did the backup just revert back to that.. If not maybe try reflashing the radios?
Oh and also on the RUU yeah man I did that because I was having issues with the 4g. Its not that bad the 2nd time around ( rooting it again that is ) so just roll with it brah
I tried nandbackup didn't help at all. I get 3g and voice data fine when I'm making a call but when I'm not on the phone they both gray out and I don't receive incoming calls or texts.. just unroot and restore stock and take it back and get another new phone. It's only been like a week and a half..

Have you tried loading a rooted stock rom yet?
That's my next step. Should I just do the latest rooted ota?

So I am able to send and receive phone calls and texts now.
Here's what I did. I went to the ##data and my evdo was set at hdr. I changed it to automatic rebooted and had a friend call and text me. Received both. Changed back and repeated. Didst receive. Changed to digital only and retried. Received both. Downloaded speedtest.net to test 3g speeds and a little disappointed with only 101kb avg down and 128 avg up. But hey least I can receive phone calls and texts now.
Anyone have any clues as to why the hdr was doing that?

well i guess HDR only always blocks incoming calls and texts from what ive pulled up on google. but i dont understand how my phone switched to HDR only, i have it on cdma HDR only now.. whats the default setting that the phone comes with anyone know?
Automatic I would think. That allows the phone to switch from 3g to 1x for voice and texts

HDR is what you want it on, that is true 3G. While you are in there go to the Data Profile section and under menu select Restore. When it comes back up let it update everything except Firmware.
That will re-activate your phone and should fix it.
restored my profile and it set evdo to automatic, i let it update all but firmware restarted activated phone. it worked on auto i changed it to HRD only and tested. Wasnt able to recieve calls or texts again changed it back to CDMA HDR only and it works. as long as i can recieve phone calls im ok with not having complete 3g service. i live in a 4g area and only really use my phone to tether for internet and as long as i have 4g and can recieve incomming calls and texts im fine. but still a bit confused as to why this happened.
and DDTM is diasbled
Hey, i have just installed the newest MIUI Australia 3.1.11v2 on my HOX, and i have one simple problem.
At first nothing worked, but after a few reinstallations, the only thing not working now is sms and data.
I can make calls, recieve calls and recieve sms's, but i can't send any sms's myself, and i cant get on the internet unless using wifi.
I updated my hboot to 1.39, and if there is anything else you need just ask
Hope someone can help me.

Had sort of issues like you. Did everything to fix it. Turned out my SIM couldn't register on the network of my operator (2g all fine, 3g mess up). If you call the support of your operator, they can look it up. Had to get a replacement SIM.
Try disable 3g and send a sms to someone, when I had 3g on it wouldn't deliver the sms. As soon it was disabled it could.
Not saying you got the same, but most of the issues you report are very familiar with what I got in past.

Well just tried to disable the data, but it didn't work. I just cant see why the problem should be caused by the sim since it worked fine with another rom yestaday?

It started with rooting the device by me. When I got the device I left it stock without root for 4 weeks, after that week I started to get this problem. From one on the other day. It didn't make sense at all.
I serious spent 5 months to fix this, I had made radio changes, RIL changes, ROM changes, removing root, had contact with services centers, had contact with operator, had contact with HTC and none of them worked or could provide a solution. Untill I got a (smart) girl on the phone at the operator support who told me to get a new sim card to see if the phone would register at the network then.
Thats why I say this to you, as none acctually knows what went wrong and you have exact same issues as me. In case you spent so much time to find it out while someone could have a solution available.
I have this weird reception problem. Every once in a while, my phone would enter this weird state. It looks normal as I see my phone has reception. However, people would complain that they try calling or texting me and I would receive nothing. During this same state, if I try calling others with my phone, the phone call application would freeze and no outgoing calls can be made. Also if I were to send a text, I would see a "sending" message and I know for sure the text won't be sent. The only fix is to reboot the phone to get proper reception and I would be able to receive incoming signal and make outgoing calls/texts. Is there a fix or explanation for this problem?
This problem existed on my phone for a while, for stock, AOKP (all stables) and CM (10.1 stable). I don't know if its a radio issue as I tried different radios.
I'm having a similar issue where I randomly can't send or receive calls even though it shows that the signal is just fine. A reboot fixes it.
At first I thought that it was the latest update to the ROM (Slim 7.5 weekly) and so I reverted back to 7 Official. It then happened again so I tried out the Carbon ROM...and it happened again so I went back to Slim but changed radios...and it just happened again so I'm trying a different kernel but I'm doubtful as they've had different kernels anyhow.
My guess is that it either has to do with hercules and 4.2.2 or just whatever commonalities which exist between the various non-TouchWiz ROMS. (if it keeps up though I'm going back to Embryo as it's TW-based and never had this problem)
Oh well, wish I could've offered a solution instead of the above but hopefully someone smart will come along and help.:laugh:
Where are you located and are you on T-Mobile? It could be tower work in your areas. I experience similar situations when they did the refarm and again during the LTE upgrades. Either way if you report signal problems they can have the towers checked where you are.

It could be the work to tweak and expand the LTE in Houston. I know on my phone I get sending errors when I don't delete message threads that are huge. I'm talking about 1000+ txt to the same person with pictures etc. It's just more memory that the phone uses up to display all of that information. You could try deleting some old messages, after backing up anything you want to keep, and see if that helps.
I'm OCD about deleting messages but thank you for the tip.
There are two others in my household on my family plan who aren't experiencing the issues but they are both on completely stock ROMs.
if still having connectivity issues try this -Download terminal emulator and type the following command (or copy and paste)
cat /sys/devices/platform/msm_rpm/fw_version
If your output is 2.0.67419 then you don't need to Odin anything...if it isn't...then you need to update your firmware via Odin. 4.1.2 stock
I am in houston and I am experiencing the same problem. I think it could be related to the tower work.

Here is usually what happened to me. I got into an area where there is low or no service, I tried to send a MMS and it would just stuck at Sending. Once I got back into the full bar area, the MMS is still stuck even though I can send text and get online. I have to delete the MMS, reboot and then I can send MMS fine. I don't make calls that often so I don't know if I can make a call when this happened (I am on a $30/mo walmart plan).
So it could be something in 4.2.2 and got hang up when there is no signal and never timeout so you would lose that functionally until you reboot. Who knows? I can't go back to 4.1.2 ROMs tho so I just reboot...
It's definitely nice to hear that it is happening to others as I've been tearing my hair out trying to figure out which component was messing up (ROM, radio, or kernel). I'd much rather it be them (T-Mobile) than me.
I went back to Embryo, which is TW-based and 4.1.2, just to give it one last go in case it is something with 4.2.2 but if it happens again I'll be back on either Slim or Carbon.
@fsured I sent you a PM back but it didn't look like it sent. Either way thank you for your help as well as everyone else.:highfive:
I had an aosp rom insatlled and all was working fine.
Then out of the blue with no warning...I can no longer receive nor make calls. When I attempt a call i hear no dial tone...and when the person picks up the timer starts running but I cant hear anything and they cant hear me..
I flashed other roms and same issue. I even did an odin flash to stock and the problem persist. Both speakers are working. I tested both.
I dont know what the problem can be. Any ideas anyone?? please help
thanks in advance
(PS: all other phone features work, sms, web, lte etc)

I had this happen with my rom. It was so strange. In my case it would let me dial three numbers then I could dial no more. Couldn't recieve or make a call.. I did however fix the situation with flashing the rom again. Haven't had any trouble since. In your case somehow your radio might have gotten changed. You might look into what the radio was before the rom and possibly download that radio again. Or you can try basic ics radios and see if any work for you. You have nothing to loose by trying. You can get the radios here on xda. On my last device a similar thing happened to me and I had to flash a new radio. It did restore my abilities. Its worth a try. It could be what's going on with your device. It certainly wont hurt to try. I wish you the best and do hope this helps you.
Happens to me occasionally, reboot fixes it.

I had something similar happen to me with a AOSP rom. On Thursday I started having trouble with dropped calls and then yesterday it got worse and I was unable to make or receive calls at all. Right after dialing the phone would beep and the call would end. Data and SMS was fine.
After multiple reboots and a good amount of time it started working again. I'm not convinced I did anything to fix it. After reading about your problems I wonder if the cause was on the tmobile side.
