Hi guys, I'm having some problems with Myn's Warm Donut.
In overall, the phone works great and performs much better than Windows Mobile. But I've been getting some problems with the reception, here's a short story to what happened;
I have two phones dedicated for work and personal, one being my Polaris and the other an old phone. The old phone's SIM card runs solely on 2G network, while the Polaris is fitted with a 3G SIM.
So recently the calls required on my old phone went up, to an extent that I dropped the phone into a bucket of water. So I had to make a call at that point of time, and I've transferred the 2G SIM into the phone and made a call.
The first call was fine, but later on, it automatically disconnects and claims that it's not on a registered network in Android. Several 2G SIMs came back with the same results, but all 3G SIMs I've tested were working fine and never had a network hiccup.
I don't want to merge my contacts onto one number due to my work nature, is there a way to address this issue?

I have been having some really annoying issues with the 3G capabilities of the Touch Cruise. I actually think it is something AT&T is doing on the network, but can't be sure. Anyone experience anything like this? Here are the symptoms:
1. The TC worked great on the 3G network when I first received it. Averaged around 700k speeds.
2. I flew across the state and the phone was unable to make or receive calls. I noticed the 3G/H symbol just fine, but no voice, no data. On a whim, I turned off the 3G and went back to Edge and everything worked fine, slower - but fine. I noticed this behavior on several subsequent trips. Coverage maps show 3G capability.
3. I've been to numerous other cities and experience varying 3G speeds, but the phone definitely works.
4. Lately I've noticed the phone almost seems to experience 3G "fatigue" by the end of the work day. In my home area where it seems to work fine, I'll look at my phone and it will either have no service, or it will not be working on 3G (no calls or e-mail). By later in the evening, it appears to be back to normal.
5. A reset will normally bring things back at least temporarily.
6. I have been trying out new ROM's and Radios posted here, but don't think they are the source of the issues. I've upgraded and downgraded with the same results.
Is this the AT&T network? Could it be with the proliferation of 3G devices, the network becomes saturated particularly by the end of the day?
More importantly, if 3G is for some reason unavailable the phone should degrade gracefully enough to allow it to continue to operate on the Edge network without any interaction by the end user.
Anybody else experiencing this behavior? Any tips? Any resolutions?
Re:
You could try to fix the GSM and 3g bands in the phone settings from automatic to your specific band. Normally that reduces ur battery usage and provides better network clarity. It might just help.
Secondly you could try the SEA 6.1 official rom as that seems to be one of the best ones so far.
I had plenty of 3G / Edge issues when i first received my TC. I spent many hours with AT&T tech support as well as a few conferrence calls with AT&T and HTC. No one was able to come up with a viable solution. Being a geek at heart I spent many hours testing roms and radios. Only a few combinations work with the AT&T edge network. My ROM is based on 18129.0.4.5 with a murata radio 1.58.21.23(must be certified murata) and has worked for me with no problems.
Hope this helps
Hey, I'm having this weird problem with my 3G connection/data connection. If I end up loosing a 3G connection during a call. The only way to get it back is to end the conversation. To further explain... If I hit a spot with no 3G, then go back in a 3G spot, it won't come back on. I still have a good signal and i can talk but there's no E, G or 3G showing. While my phone is in this state I'm unable to browse the web,, it says no data connection which is odd because i obviously have a connection if I'm on the phone...3G starts to come back on As soon as i press end call. It instantaneously goes to E, then G, then 3G. At that point if I make another call, I'll still have a 3G connection and my phone works fine, i.e. i can browse the web and talk as usual. If I hit a spot where I loose 3G again (while in a call) it won't reactivate, I can continue to talk but I can't browse the web. No E, G or 3G showing (just bars with good signal) and it won't go back to normal until I end the call. Any suggestions?, thanks. unlocked bootloader, completely stock, not rooted running 2.3.3
Its an issue but not an isolated issue. I've experienced this as well, on both T-Mobile and att phones. Maybe LTE technology will help with better signal transfer than 3g.

Same thing here.
Just for the heck of it I called t-mobile to get my original sim card activated. It's an oldie from 2004. They said it should be turned on within the next 24 hours. I don't ever remember it happening with any of my other phones while using the older sim. Maybe there's a connection,, it's worth a try, I don't have anything to loose. I'll post my results.
i was under the impression that you can't surf the web and make a call at the same time. since day 1 my phone has always turned data connectivity off as soon as i make a phone call. i thought its supposed to be that way lol. it isnt?
EDIT:
just did some testing. on 3G i can make phone calls and surf the web. on E, i cannot. i leave edge on all the time to save battery (dont need 3g to check emails), so i guess i thought its normal for data to cut out haha.
tmobile and ATT networks are not setup right now to hand a call from GSM back over to 3G during a call. if you are on 3G during a call, and lose 3g and go back to gsm, you will stay on gsm until the call ends. then the phone will switch back to 3g.
this is done on purpose by ATT and tmobile, the thought is that they will enable this hand off direction once 3g is widely covered. but since gsm footprint is larger than 3g, they set it up this way. its annoying, but normal.

You missed the hoop with this one lol. Topic is not about this.

Roger P, I'd hit thanks for your answer but I don't see the thanks button to click. For me it's a huge deal to have some closure on the matter. As we all know, it sucks when you loose confidence in your phone. Don't know if it's a web site etiquette thing and that's why I'm not seeing it. Either way, thanks a lot. peace
It depends on the 3G carrier setup by your operator. For example, my operator uses 2 carriers for 3G service, one is data only carrier and the other one is shared between voice and data. So sometimes 3G data connectivity goes away during a call because I was connected to a data only carrier and sometimes I keep using the data connection during the call because I was using a shared carrier. I don't know if this is the case for T mobile.
Hey everyone,
This is my last gasp and possibly resolving my issue. I have a Bell GT-I9000m phone. It is unlocked, rooted with CM7 2.3.4 JVK. I usually use this phone on the Rogers network but recently moved to a rural area.
Rogers' coverage in rural areas in my province is horrid. I decided to take advantage of Telus' 6gb data plan offer, thinking I could put my new SIM in the phone and everything would be great.
At the Telus kiosk in a near town I got my plan and made a couple calls on the phone to ensure it was working. When I got into my car I initiated the Telus APN and boom HSPA was enabled and everything was great. About 15 minutes later I noticed my signal bars diminish to zero and the phone fell back to emergency calls only and I could not get signal back by rebooting or anything. When searching networks ROGERS was the only one that was seen as available.
This morning I called TELUS and they said it was a SIM card issue. So I went to another kiosk in another town that is a bit closer to me and they gave me a SIM. Again, everything started out great, I received a text and browsed internet at full speed then on the drive home the bars diminished to none and I was stuck with the exact problem as mentioned above.
I spent an hour with a TELUS technical rep. She was great helping me even though it was a phone off of their network. We could not come to any sort of resolve for my issue. I have tried using *#*#4636#*#* to change to WCDMA only and multiple other options.
Further issues for me is my phone will only connect to my computer to charge. I think some pins are broken or something because I cannot connect via USB to flash anything. I can send files to the phone wirelessly and enter download mode (although the phone is not recognized by the computer) and CWM recovery mode.
The phone also works perfectly with my still active ROGERS sim.
Thanks for any ideas on this.
All the best
Steve
Hey everyone, I just bought the universal 8 gig Moto G 4g lte. I'm super pleased with the phone except it seems that my phone is constantly switching between LTE, H+, and H. I'm currently using Straight Talk with one of their AT&T sim cards. Sometimes I'll pick the phone up to make a call and it will say no service. It only lasts for maybe 20 seconds, but after it says no service and the time has passed it will show bars again. It's almost like it loses connection with the sim card or something.
I've spent several hours reading about the problems people have had with the switch to KitKat. My phone never shows the "no sim card" or anything of that nature. The triangle where the bars should be just goes completely empty. I'm just curious if this is known to be a software problem and not a hardware problem. I just came from a really really low end smartphone that would cut itself off on a daily basis. I need this phone to at least maintain normal functionality for a while. I don't have a phone to put the Straight Talk sim card in to check and see if it's the problem.
I don't really want to send the phone back, even though I've looked at the Nexus 5. It's a little bit out of my price range for a phone. Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi,
I initially started with a OnePlus One and it came to a point where I would lose reception (Both data and mobile) maybe once an hour. The only fix was to restart the phone. I got fed up with it so I ended up getting a new phone, the Samsung Galaxy S7. It's been 3 days and I haven't found any problems, however, this morning I found my phone to have no reception. I restarted it and it started working again.
Could this be a SIM card problem? WiFi works fine.
Thanks
Not sure about the OPO but i had this happen to me where i lost reception for no more than 30s.
For you to restart the phone to get a reception is news to me and honestly have no idea.
I don't know how easy it is for you but with my operator it is very easy to just pick up a new sim card and ether have the shop to register the new card or do it by myself online. If the card is the same as the one you used with the OPO a new card would be the first thing to test. I have heard of lost reception problems were a sim card has been the culprit.

Is it the same SIM card from both phones?
Something has to be the same between them, either the SIM, or if it is a different SIM, then your location / surroundings / interference

Same SIM card. My location and surroundings don't affect when I lose reception. It just seems to be random. Both me and my girlfriend have the same carrier (Kodoo). I'd be sitting by my desk for a couple hours and have full bars and suddenly lose reception. Then restart my phone and I get reception back.

I'd request a SIM replacement, see if that fixes it, unlikely to be the phone if you have two with the same problem using the same SIM
