HTC Hero :: Calls Lose 3G / H Signal - Whats Wrong Here?
Dec 20, 2009
When i turn on my phone it gets a 3G signal then H but after a while it drops to just a G signal. When on a G signal the browser/market/facebook app etc don't work, (says check Internet connection) If i tick the 2G only box then untick it I get 3G/H signal again? Also when i receive phone calls the G/3G/H signal disappears totally (just the 3-4 bars). Once the phone settles on G signal it wont go up to 3G or H signal again without ticking 2G only then unticking? Any ideas whats wrong here?

I used to have a RAZR flip-phone, and while I love my current phone much more (an AT&T SGS2) I do sometimes miss the option to have the phone beep at you when you lose signal and again when you get it back. I am volunteering every day in West Liberty, KY (which was basically destroyed in Friday's tornadoes) but cell service is down except for small pockets here and there that for some reason get just enough service to send a text or sometimes make a phone call. Anyway, if I could get an app for the SGS2 that would run all the time and notify me when I have lost and regained cell service it would work for me.

And I mean this literally. After I upgraded my Moment, I let it just sit on my desk and continue to charge. An hour later, I reached to pick it up and burned the CRAP out of my thumb and index finger!!! WTF? Is Samsung or Sprint trying to kill us?

I have a start activity page for my game (which is the root activity for my app) that just lists "Play", "Help", and "About" TextViews on the screen. Each TextView has a click listener which start the appropriate Activity for each. The GameActivity (started with explicit intent from clicking "Play") has onSaveInstanceState implemented to save state of the game. Its onCreate checks for non- null Bundle to restore this state. My problem is this:
1. Turn on Phone/Emulator 2. start my game with icon in launcher 3. Start page is displayed 4. click "Play" to start my GameActivity 5. play game for a few seconds 6. click home 7. state is saved (proven with debugger calling onSaveInstanceState) 8. start my game with the icon in launcher 9. start page is displayed
I was under the impression that by clicking the app icon from the launcher that my existing task activity stack would be restored with my GameActivity being on top and its onCreate being called for me to restore the state I saved. Instead I am getting a brand new instance of my start page. Also, if I long press home and choose my running game icon, then my game comes back exactly as I left it. However, this apparently is NOT using my onCreate restore state logic as onCreate is never called.
All of the documentation seems to say that the entire stack of activities will be restored when clicking the application icon from the launcher, but I just get a fresh instance. What might I be doing wrong?

I have used my Hero in 2 different countries and I get the same problem: Regardless of signal connection, I miss half (a guess) of all calls made to me. People tell me it finally dials after a few straight-to-voicemail tries. This didn't happen with any of my previous phones (Nokias and Motos), in both of the aforementioned countries. I really hope my rubber case has all to do with this because I bought the phone from eBay (i.e. no warranty).

Greetings all. Another "long time lurker, first time poster."I am wondering if anyone else is experience dropped calls and occasionally dodgy reception with their Hero. Specifically I am having problems dropping calls in my apartment, which seems to be at the edge of three different towers (I will connect to all three just by walking from room to room...don't know if that is typical).I am new to Sprint, so I don't quite have a feel for what I should expect from the network, but my fiancee--also on Sprint but with a different phone--doesn't seem to have the same issues.

I was having issues with constant dropped calls from my house, which is in an area according to the Sprint coverage map that should have excellent coverage. I went to my Sprint store, which is a repair center, and they told me to go to menu>settings>Wireless controls>Mobile network settings>Roaming, and switch from Automatic to Sprint only. I did this, and have not dropped a call yet. The tech told me that depending on exactly where you are and where the nearest Sprint tower is compared to the nearest say Verizon tower, the phone will continuously try to switch between the two towers for the best signal when set to Automatic, and that can cause dropped calls, static calls etc. Ever since I switched this setting I have not dropped one single call or gotten any static, even with 0-1 bars for signal strength. He told me only use Automatic if you are in an area where your phone has no service due to no nearby Sprint tower.

i tried a number of tracker apps for sports like endomondo, sportstracker, my tracks, and none of them seem to get past 3 mins in sleep mode, when the gps signal goes dead. i can't find any settings to alter neither on the phone OS or on my app killer (taskmanager 2.1.2).Anyone has got a clue where to look? cause 3 mins ain't much of a work out!

So kind of weird, but when I try and dial a 7 digit local phone number, the phone prepends it with an area code for Boston (I am in St. Louis).
Sprint was pretty helpless on the issue and I guess it did not help that the phone just started doing it without rhyme or reason.
Not a huge deal since I can dial the area code before hand, but obviously I am sure none of us like things going wrong with our precious Evo's.

I have just got my Tattoo and I love the phone. After having come off the horrid Touch Diamond this is heaven.Just a couple of niggles:-
1. When making calls the signal starts to go part way into the call. It appears I have a good signal strength by the bars shown but the call drops out. It's definitely a problem my end. On the top of the phone next to the signal strength indicator it appears to be losing some bars next to the 'G' symbol with the up and down arrows. This is obviously a big problem for me. Any ideas how to stop it happening?
2. I would like the phone to come out of sleep mode when a new text arrives. The Touch Diamond turns the screen on to show there is a new text. I can't find a setting to change that.
3. The phone doesn't seem to ring for very long before going to voicemail. Can that be changed?
4. How do I set up a personal email greeting?

Can anyone link me to a guide on what programs are needed. Blackberry and Apple (jailbroken) were great fun making themes and changing icons.Hopefully someone can hook me up with a solution.

Just dropped mine for the FIRST time since I purchased it in February. Dropped it from about average arms height onto a hard-wood floor, and it had a silicone case on it. Not really worried, but I am just curious how bad you have dropped your Hero at one time or another? Also, what kind of testing do these phones go through? Are they designed to take a bit of a drop? I have always been curious about that.

I have the Behold II through T Mobile and when I'm on the road and in certain places I will have full bars but no 3g, or wifi. When I try to send a text it says "Unable to send text, will send once service becomes avalible" When I try to make a call it says service unavalible.
It tells me I have full bars, and when I go to network selection, it doesnt matter what network i choose or whats avalible it wont connect to it, a message will pop up and say "Network with limited service avalible, search for network" ..if i say yes it just does the same thing all over again, and if i say no it goes into automatic mode and wont let me do anything once again..
I have full bars, does that not matter? If I have to have 3g then why would it tell me i have a full signal when I really dont.

Is anyone else seeing this behavior?right before I make a voice call the droid will show 4 bars, when I place a voice call it will drop to 0 bars and the voice quality is pretty bad.In the phone settings you can see the DBm signal strengh and before I make a call it will show -96 and when I make a call it will go to -104.I have noticed this even when right on top of a cell tower.You actually don't notice it when the signal is very strong, but on my droid it does appear that the signal degraded significantly when doing a voice call.It also does the same thing when the Wifi is turned on, it's almost like it's switching to another antenna for the voice when wifi is on or you make a call.So far I have not been impressed with the phones voice quaility at all.

I am having horrible signal problems. My old phone the ENV2 in the same exact seat I am in right now I had full signal strength. The Eris on the other hand, I have none, it flips from no bars to X all day long. I can not receive calls nor can I make a call. Has anyone had problems with theirs? Or what might I be able to do ?

I randomly lose my data connection. It happens whether I'm using 3g or wi- fi. And it doesn't matter witch rom I got flashed on my hero. I've been rooted for quite some time now, so I doubt I'm making a noob mistake. Although I'm no rom writer, so I could missing something.

I want to reach out to others here before I take my Moment back to Best Buy to exchange it for another Moment.
My signal strength fluctuates wildly just sitting in the same spot. With the Hero I got a constant 5 of 6 bars, but the Moment will vary between 0 and 5 of 6 bars. But it's more complicated than that.
It seems that whenever the EVDO data kicks in, it causes the signal strength to drop to 0 or 1 bar. Once the data is idle, the EVDO indicator turns grey and then changes from EV(^v) to EV(D). At that point the single strength will return to 3 or 4 bars.
At times, though not as consistently or often, the EVDO connection will fall back to 1xRTT and will switch between them every few minutes. This will occur even when the signal strength bars are in the 3 to 4 range.
So, the my questions are...
Does the signal strength apply to the data signal or just the voice signal?
Is there any legitimate reason for the signal strength to vary wildly like I've described, even when sitting in the same recliner where the Hero had a constant 5 bar connection and data service that never wavered?
Is anyone else having signal strength and/or data service issues?
Should I exchange the Moment for another Moment or will I likely experience the same issue?
