hi -
the problems: since flashing 2 weeks ago my vario III only works for voice and data in gsm only mode - with 3G enabled i generally can't make or receive a call or connect to data, but the device . Everything works when i switch to GSM only...
The complications/wierdness: straight after flashing a new rom or radio i have sometimes been able to get the device to connect to 3G or make a call - but this usually only last for one session or so.
What i've done: i've installed just about every combination of ROM and Radio i can find - including all of the 6.1 radios with Dutty's 6.1, the "official" vodafone 6.1 rom, alex's, schaps, and i've tried going back to 6.0 roms and the 1.27.12.32 and .11 radios but still the same
what is the verdict? bricked? or am i missing something....

I don't think it's bricked.. if it was bricked your device wouldn't even turn on.
Did you hard reset after each flash?
Was it working before your original flash?
answers to both: yes
- working fine before i flashed it
- I've been obeying Dutty's rebooting advice - how could I ignore instruction given in bold AND capitals?
I'm having the same problems. Thinking of putting origional ROM with radio back on and removing hardspl and returning under warrenty but cant find origional splash screen anywhere! Help would be appreciated
had the same problem with my tilt...changed sim card ...different roms ...radios ...basically everthing i could do....but in the end called at&t and they sent me a replacement...goodluck
I had a similiar situation but with my GPS.
The Tilt I bought just 1 month ago was a GPS Champ, always acquired a lock quick. I had flashed XDA-Live v1.5 right over the at&t 1.62 Rom (after HardSPL of course).
Then I used th enew SIM/CID Unlocker (with the hacked Polaris Radio) and of course flashed back to the at&t Radio (from the leaked at&t 1.60 Rom).
Since then I had a coupel of times where the GPS locked-up and required a soft reset.
So yesterday I flashed a WM6.1 Rom and a Niki Radio as I've seen a lot of user report excellent results.
It made my GPS useless. I quickly reflashed XDA Live v1.5 (with the Radio from the at&t 1.60 Rom) but my GPS still seemed lost.
Ironically today is day #29 of the 30 on this Tilt so last night I removed HardSPL and flashed the Official at&t 1.62 Released Rom using the Official exe and everything figuring I'd returnt he unit today.
Wouldn't you know it, I tested the GPS and even on the untouched at&t Rom it was working better than it had ever worked before!
Now I know that the Radio in at&t 1.60, 1.61 & 1.62 are *supposed* to be the exact same but I can say that the over from at&t 1.62 fixed a problem that the 1.60 Rom's radio couldn't. Yes, I do a hard reset after each flash already.
Heck when my daughters return from Disney I'm going to flash the 1.62 version fo the at&t Radio onto my oldest's Kaiser and see if it improved her GPS also.
seems like everyone who replied has a tilt not a VIII. Are you sure your settings are correct for your network? that would be my first guess at this point input them manually and dont use the connection wizard app as sometimes it doesnt work right. also check your phone settings make sure its set to AUTO or UTMS only if all else falls force it into 3G mode using the Band settings post your results back please

hey I am having a similar problem at my house when i first got my tilt i have a very strong 3G signal here. That tilt messed up sent it in and this new one that i got worked just fine till i flashed a new rom on it now it wont pick up 3G unless i go somewhere else and come back to my apt. And yes i HardSPL'ed it and hard reset after flashing. I even went back to stock tilt rom and that didn't work. I have tried all the radio's on this forum from stock to the new imported NIKI radio's nothing has brought it back. When I go get the 3G signal elsewhere and comeback god forbid i have to soft reset because there goes 3G out the window and locked to edge. Should i return to AT&T for an exchange or is there a fix i'm not finding?

The Tilt Roms by default don't allow manual band selection.
Bad Data settings wouldn't cause poor reception just inability to connect (regardless of 3G or Edge/Gprs) for data sessions.
Based on my experience I would say first test is to do the work and reset your phone to the latest shipped Carrier Rom for your Carrier and see if your problems persist.
When I was having my GPS issues I also had a few wierd Call issues like calls not disconnecting (I had to toggle the phone radio to actually end the call).

I had the same issue with a t-mobile(UK) viii. The issue appeared after a while using the phone before I'd got into flashing different ROMS. In the end, i had the unit swapped out and the problems went away and have not returned. You can assume its a hardware issue. I went through the is it your SIM, is it this... is it that... after explaining that basically i was right next to a 3G transceiver in a big city.
Like I mentioned, this was a fault which developed after two months of no issues.
Old hardware version (looking under battery cover):
DATE:061107(TB02)/EU
New phone:
date:090807(RB01)/EU
I have had the same issue. I have returned the phone today and exchanged on my insurance. the new phone works fine.
thanks for all the feedback - shame there isn't a fix ..
austinsnyc: thanks for your help...
- i was using the connection wizard (difference i've noticed was that it includes a proxy server which i don't when i set up manually) so i created a new connection manually
- i've changed to 3G-only and i got "no service" (though i have previously got it to work)
- i put it on auto, it registered 2G then showed 3G signal in the taskbar. Tried to connect to my manually created connection - no joy: "cannot connect for an unknown reason etc".... then i got "no signal" for about 30 seconds, then full bars of gsm, then shows 3G again....
changed back to gsm only - works fine.
I'm not exactly sure t-mobile are going to take it back!... i'll have to hunt down the original t-mobile uk rom first....
got my new tilt in yesterday and it works totally fine like i thought in my apt. If you could wilbur i would definitely get a new one i think its the phone itself.
lol so i checked to see if switching off the 3g on my new kaiser then switching back would cause the same problem and it sure did so now im stuck with edge in my damn apt. again. I wonder if these new kaiser's they're shipping out are different than the old ones, when i first bought mine at launch oct.5, 07 i could switch back and forth between 3g. Now with 3 new tilts i have gotten i cant do it anymore this blows Damn i should have never given that first one away damn
so annoying...
i upgraded to the latest Dutty Rom (the 6.1 hybrid) - sure enough, straight away after flashing i was able to use 3G to make and receive calls, and to make a data call (but it was really slow)... then, within 30 minutes, i was back to the old phone: cannot connect a 3G call and no connection to data... so annoying - i'd almost prefer it didn't work at all than tempt me with the prospect that one day i'll find a rom that works...
anyway - I'm going to need to replace it - anyone know which rom/radio combo i'd need to flash to convince the guys at T-Mobile to take my VIII back? and btw - does anyone have any experience of trying to return handsets covered in scratches?
can anyone tell me if these problems are linked to Flashing ROMS? Since i had my last Vario 3 replaced ive been apprehensive about flashing if this is what broke the last one but i really want to flash it again.
Hi, the problem that exists with my htc sensation is that whenever i turn 3g (set it to gsm / wcdma auto) i get no signal. It says i have no internet connection either but for some reason i can still browse perfectly at high speed meaning i do have full hsdpa. I cant make calls or texts though. As soon as i set it to gsm only, it works fine, but ive got slow internet which i dont want. I am rooted, ive got the coredroid 2.4 rom, ive tried various roms, kernels and radios but none seem to work. I thought it was my sim, so i ordered a new one and its exactly the same, im on virgin mobile uk. Ive tried a 3 sim card in the phone and it seems to work, and ive tried my virgin sim card in other phones and that seems to work too. It just seems to be a virgin sim card in my phone. It used to work fine, then about 3 weeks ago it just started with this problem. Ive searched for an answer but couldnt find anything, has anyone got any ideas please? Also as im rooted, does that mean my warranty is void and i would get charged if i sent it for repair?
Try calling them to ask about that issue
They will probably re-add you to the network and that might fix it

Hi people,
So here is the thing. I brother gave me a D820 purchased in the USA and I was using it just fine until one fine day, it stopped seeing my network. It supports the GSM frequencies at 2G and 3G but it isn't even discovering the network.
On Vodafone India - Now, even when I do a manual search, my network isn't visible. It was working fine earlier but it just isn't now. I have tried everything from reflashing the whole thing, to trying out a custom ROM like CyanogenMod, including the CAF builds.
I have also tried flashing the old radio and that didn't help either.
On Airtel - What is funnier is that I used another network's SIM card and it seemed to be working perfectly for a few days and then the same problem appeared there too. Only this time, it was seeing the network, only wasn't registering on to it. It couldn't be a network issue because the same SIM card worked perfectly on another device.
Request any help to resurrect my paperweight Nexus 5 into being useful again.
Thanks in advance!

So you need to give more infomation. A lot of the stuff you're saying is pointless for example (I also tried flashing the ld radio???) there are a lot of radios for the nexus 5. (reflashing the whole thing???) what ROM were you on? what kernel? when and how did it stop working? what were you doing?
Be happy I replied lol it seems like you wrote the post in one big panic of a mess. so go ahead now.

You're right. I was in a state of panic.
The problem just happened. There was no reason for it, nothing. It just stopped detecting my network.
I have tried the following builds. And radios from these build separately, because as I understand, there were some WIFI issues with Lollipop to begin with:
1. KTU84P
2. LRX21O
3. LMY47I
More pointless info: Apart from these I have also tried the latest CyanogenMod 12.1 NIGHTLY (cm-12.1-20150419-NIGHTLY) with the CAF kernel and the standard CyanogenMod 12.1 AOSP NIGHTLY build.
what ROM were you on? - I was on stock KTU84P when the network stopped getting any sort of detection from the device.
what kernel? - Stock kernel that accompanied the above ROM. The phone was not even BL-Unlocked or rooted.
when and how did it stop working? - The when is a week ago. The how is a mystery.
what were you doing? - Nothing. I just woke up in the morning and found that my device has no service. Then I tried a manual network search and my network wouldn't show up. It works perfectly on other devices, the SIM card that is.
So, now I have a phone that doesn't work on my network.

My wife's Nexus 5 D820 has the same issue. Network worked fine on 4/13/2015, but zero network service the next day, 4/14/2015.
Did your problem happen on the same day? Are you on StaighTalk also?
Her phone was on stock software and still locked. Tried everything and figured it's a problem with the phone since putting my sim card in her phone didn't fix the problem. The phone detects sim cards and their registered phone #s, but zero network service. My guess is the cell antenna hardware broke.
We bought a different phone. Wish we could fix it! It would be nice to fix this Nexus 5 that functions fine except no cell service.

My problems started in April, yes. But I am not on StraightTalk. The problem first happened when I was on Vodafone India. Now, even in manual network search, the phone doesn't discover Vodafone at all.

Hey, I have the EXACT same problem. My Nexus 5 wont detect the Vodafone network in India! I tried all kinds of stuff - flashing the original stock rom, factory reset - nothing worked. All other networks are working fine. The same vodafone sim that wont work in the nexus is working absolutely fine in other phones. I am at my wits end - did you find any solution to this yet? Please let me know.
I have also been facing the same problem on vodafone.50% of the time i am unable to make or receive calls even when signal is present and if the call connects the call receiver cant hear me.The problem is also present in al the other ROMs and rradios i have tried.

No solution at all yet.. Just a very sophisticated paperweight..
Sent from my HTC One M8
A few months back I updated my phone (was on stock) ever since then I am having issues with the reception in my phone (signal dropping out, going down to 3G from LTE and so on)
I unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP, tried multiple ROMs, even tried flashing different firmwares but nothing seemd to help, I also sent my phone to a lab (when I still had warranty), they replaced the antenna but there wasn't any difference, has anyone experienced this issue before and managed to fix it?
I am currently using the latest Cyanogenmod nightly version.
Hi folks,
I've got my 2S for maybe 2-3 weeks, but found irritating issue..
I use to turn off cellular data connection when I'm not using it. In some cases (maybe 20%) I cannot connect again. The icon is turned on, still no app can connect to internet.
Since I've faced this in the past (on some SGS4 with custom ROM) I'm used to fix it by going into 2G mode, wait until it connects, then change to LTE. Then it works.
I'm running official Global 10.3 ROM (No root etc this time), 6/64, model name M1803D5XA, baseband AT4.0.c2.6-301-0326_0945_62d952e
Anyone knows a fix ?
I guess this https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-mix-2s/help/mi-mix-2s-lte-4g-bands-connection-t3919534
requires a root, right ?
Like this?
Just found this old thread of mine.
Yes, that was the issue, and I couldn't fix it anywhow (the phone was not tampered with at all, original firmware)
FInally I returned the phone to warranty and got money in return
