I have had signal problems with my 3g network lately, my signal displays 5 bars with an "R" above, and my network shows an "E" all the time.
Youtube seems to be slow, the browser is a little slow aswell - noone of this happens on wifi. I have checked the backcover and all the goldcontacts for problems, noone of them seems to be broken maybe a little worn though (the ones on the backcover).

I'm running the newest ViperS rom, could this be the problem? My browser and youtube is fine when I use WIFI, I can't open the Sim Toolkit app, I have no problems with network on my desire.

My calls are fine I can hear people and they can hear me. It only seems to be the network affected.

You can try and change your radio and ril and see if a different radio will help the signal. You will have to experiment a bit to see what's most effective. You can start with generic ics radios and rils. This might solve your issue

Well I flashed a ril and radio which didn't seem to fix the problem, then I flashed a CM10 rom which did fix the problem.. it seems like I am forced to turn my back on ViperS :( Damn this phone. I loved the rom though.

Thanks for your help though :)

Well I can't believe it either, but it have to be the rom, because I hadn't installed any apps that could have affected the connection, and I didn't have sync turned on and the connection have been fine before I flashed ViperS. I'm not s-off tho so it might be due to that..

If you're not s-off then you didn't flash a new radio like you think you did earlier. So that might still be a fix for you.

You can also try a full wipe and clean install of Viper and see if the problem replicates itself. It's not only possible, but very possible, that something got goofed up in your previous set up that hurt the signal strength. Starting over with a fresh flash of Viper could easily solve it. It' snot guarenteed, but it's very possible to work.

Well, I'm not S-OFF and I have decided not to do it so far. Viper worked fine with 3g at the start, but then it managed to screw up. I have decided to only run cm9/10 and aosp roms so far, I will most likely change to a sense rom later.
