Hello all. It seems as though I've come across a pretty serious issue with my Dash 3G. I have been using Ookba's 3VOLUTION ROMs for some time now and over the weekend, my phone suddenly stopped being able to make/receive any calls. I re-flashed the phone to the latest 3VOLUTION ROM (04/10/10 build) and it hasn't fixed the issue. I've put the SIM into another phone and it works perfectly, so I know it's not a bad SIM card. I don't know of any software settings that can persist like this (after a ROM flash). Furthermore, why it happened suddenly is totally beyond me. Does anyone have any suggestions I can try? This is terrible timing as I just had a job interview and I need to keep my "ears open" for a possible callback.
Thanks guys!
Bump - anyone have any suggestions?
I have the same problem. I switched from my personal SIM to my work SIM (another provider) and now it looses the service contact after a few minutes.
I realized this happens when I have the data connection on and the GPS on at the same time. This happened to me the first few days with the original ROM too when I first got the phone. So when I use google maps or evernote with gps, the phone service shuts down. Weird.
Mine is the Ozone by VZW (CDMA) but after it was flashed to the 3VO ROM on WM6.5, I got errors on the GSM side when using the T-Mo prepaid Sim, data connection was turning itself off so I couldn't even access T-zone (which was working just fine earlier, already unlocked & running 6.5)
Took me a while to check, goggle & search - realized that some of the GRPRS & Proxy settings were locked by default to the VZW embedded Sim, and had to go into Connections & under Advanced (Menu - Right Soft Key)
to change it. Sort of tricky since the wap, mms & other settings were all set properly but it was easy once I changed it to T-Mo's proxy & WAP names as created. Same for using AT&T's MEdiaNet, as otherwise, as soon as the GSM network was found, data connection was turned off.
Take a look at yours and check the various Menus & Settings screen to see if it might've been reset to default, etc. etc.
Anyone Figure This Out?
Just happened to me this weekend (T-Mo Dash 3G). Simply stopped connecting to the network for voice or data. Worked fine on Saturday but dead Tuesday morning. Also running 3VOlution ROM. I called T-Mobile and we played with network settings, etc. but no luck. Tried a hard reset and that was no help.
Reset and rebooted countless times after changing any setting I could think of. Hopefully someone has figured this out or it looks like I'll be buying a new phone tonight.
Bad SIM ...

Was a bad SIM. I swapped mine for my wife's and the no signal followed my SIM. Dropped by T-Mobile this morning on the way to work and they gave me a new one free, no questions asked. Phone's back to normal.

I've had my Touch Pro2 for almost a week...and still no data connection. Been working with technical support (phone) but haven't gotten anywhere. Multiple reps swear there isn't anything wrong with my plan, and the switch should have gone over to the new phone (Was on a Mogul before). Voice and SMS work fine. The folks have stepped me through a few profile updates...and I've tried driving around t see if other towers would work (?? - don't even know if that would work...but the CS rep suggested it) to no avail. Anyone have this problem before when switching out to new devices and have a suggestion for advanced troubleshooting? Thanks.
Since data isn't working, I've been using WiFi in my house. Never really tried using it extensively before an a WM device...and have been frustrated with having to frequently re-enter the WPA2-PSK AES key to my home network. Is this a known issue? Since it could be related to my Sprint Data connection constantly trying to initialize (wish I knew how to turn that off/stop it), I'm not even sure anyone else has seen the problem before. I won't care once the Sprint data finally comes online, but it sort of irks me. Any help/suggestion here would be appreciated as well

You've tried CS, and you've tried multiple towers, I believe I would demand a new device, at this point. See if switching devices fixes the issue. This is not normal.
With the new device try running it and verifying that it can connect, before installing any new programs, or making any changes first.
New Device it is
New device came today..works fine. Wonder what may have caused the problem in the first phone? I'm happier now
Any thoughts on the dropped/forgotten Wifi password? Should WM store the network key, or does it not store for WPA2-PSK AES?
Thanks for the response dah54
We should switch this into two separate topics, I am also having the key drop issue however my data works fine
My network is WPA-PSK
Fine with me. Since mine was possibly a hardware error and a new phone resolved the EVDO data connection problem, I'm happy to have it changed (I cannot edit my original post title, so I think its in the hands of the moderators.
Bumping this up to the top. I just started playing with my TP2 (sprint) tonight and it keeps dropping my network key as well.
I have double and triple checked the APN settings. No luck. I feel like a complete retard, but why cant this phone connect to the network?
It doesn't even appear to try. Any suggestions?
I haven't a clue why, but I've been told multiple times that the infuse won't be able to connect to Tmobile data services in any manner.
I'm in the same boat, when did you notice this? I ask because mine just started doing this yesterday. Here's a brief synopsis of what I've done:
- I was running stock GB 2.3.6, from the Heimdall One-Click...had no issues for weeks (only had it a few weeks); once I realized that I can't get anything higher than EDGE speeds due to the hardware requirements, I went ahead and purchased the GN. So, my neighbor told me that she went to T-Mo (same phone) and the gentlemen 'input some codes' etc etc and she now had 3G (can't verify, I didn't grab her phone). I had an idea that he went into the phone testing mode (by doing the *#*#INFO#*#*) and maybe changed some of the network settings in there. So I figured I would give it a shot before I put it up for sale since my GN was coming today. So I went in and tried a few things, all to no avail....and then realized that I had NO data at all.
So at this point I did a factory reset (no luck), flashed the firmware/modem/etc from the Heimdall one-click, reset the APN settings (multiple times)....everything that I know to do with it....and STILL no data. But I can place calls, get texts, etc with no issue.
What's strange is after I flashed the stock GB rom, I went back into the testing mode (I guess that's what you call it???) and was checking a few things:
- if I run the ping test, it comes back null (no surprise) BUT it also lists 'GSM Service: In Service' and 'Network Type: EDGE'...it does show GPRS as disconnected.
I tried my SIM in an unlocked iPhone and it didn't have data connection. But I also put my roommates T-Mo SIM in the Infuse and it didn't have data either. I haven't had a chance to see if my SIM works (data wise) in the GN, because I haven't gotten it yet.
Any ideas on what to do?
**EDIT**
For some reason the data began to work about an hour after I posted this. Maybe the phone knew I was asking the experts and it had no where to hide?? Either way The_Joe I would try to maybe do a factory reset and if that doesn't work, to try to re-install the ROM/OS again.
Hi!
My girlfriend (who is forever having problems with phones) just bought a Nexus 5 after her Galaxy S2 spontaneously gave up on life, but despite showing a full signal it seems to be unable to connect to a network (it's supposed to be on the UK's Orange network). When it first started up she said it had a screen saying something like 'activate data services', but that after 10 minutes or sitting on that screen and apparently stuck, she skipped it. The phone is showing a full strength signal, but no calls/texts or data works.
We've been unable to get back to that screen, even after doing a factory reset with/without the SIM inserted.
Anyway, I figured it was an APN issue, so I've tried setting it up for her, but whenever I create a new APN and try to save it, it just disappears and loses all of my settings. I've had a look around XDA and it seems a few others have been having the same issue, but nobody I've seen has posted a fix. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Tried it with my SIM in her phone and it works fine, so I guess it's a SIM issue. Sorry about that. She can call the phone company tomorrow.
Hi! I'm having some mayor problems with my OnePlus One.
For some time I have had problems getting calls and sms when using 4G but it seemed to be a problem with my carrier but 2 weeks ago I dropped my phone and the screen broke so I bought a new screen and replaced it. After that the connection to my carrier dropped randomly and now after trying to fix it in different ways I can't get any connection at all with any carrier !
What I have tried so far:
Factory reset
Reinstalled CM
Put paper under the sim for tighter fit
Turned the radio off and on and restart phone
Change pin code
Replace sim-card
Tried different carriers on my phone (my simcard worked on other phones so it is the OPO that is the problem)
Total restore by fastboot-flashing
Installed OxigenOS 2
Tried all modems from the modem collection on CM and Oxigen.
Retyped the APN by hand
Opened the phone again and checked that all cables are connected well
Tried manualy connect to my carrier under Network Operators
For a short time of maximum 10 seconds I got a 4G connection twice in now 3 days of trying but then it stops working again. It feels like a hardware problem BUT I can see a lot of different carriers under Network Operators but when trying to connect it loads for ever and then says "Can't register to your carrier". I called my carrier and thay said nothing was wrong from their end and when I tried on other phones it worked flawlessly.
I'm really out of ideas now and I don't know where to go from here. I really hope someone of you knows that might be the problem!
Thank you so much!
If imei present you can try mobile phone exchange offer on flip kart like online stores. When this happened to my phone I did it , very easy.
Sometimes opo dont search available network or wont register on any network.
Sulution: go to access point and reset it to default first then go to network and try to search for network n if ur able to search then try ro register manually and if it does not work then go to dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#* then click phone info and select the lte/gsm ato prl mode and then click turn radio off and again tuen it onn then smsc refresh and update ( i dnt remember it correctly) if that dnt help then ur network antena is damaged
As stated I'm using the LG G5 H830 T-Mobile variant. I am getting 4G LTE data connection and everything runs well (Not in any WiFi range) Yet for SMS and calling as well as mobile hotspot I get "No USIM card' error. This happened after wiping the system and formatting data. Rebooted recovery (as per instructions on forum) then installed the stock firmware & Patch with systemless root and xposed. After this I did factor reset when just pulling the sim didn't help. Still nothing. I reflashed just the stock firmware with TWRP and SuperSU and issue is still happening. I've disabled rebooted and enabled the phone radio. SIM is in good condition and tray as well everything is SECURE and should be good to go.
I'm assuming a new SIM might be a solution. But I'm not counting on it and with Labor Day tomorrow for me I wouldn't be able to pick one up for 2 days. So here I am...hoping someone might have a fix. I know I don't have many posts on here. But I am an experienced user....just not with the more basic of problems I guess
Thanks!!
Has anyone else experienced this yet? I'm just curious...I had it fixed for a couple days. I've formatted data and done complete system wipe. Tried it resetting phone with the COMPLETE zip and TOT using LGUP. I'm receiving texts. Not calls. Not able to send either. I've activated new sim, didn't help. LG support just told me to look into warranty. T-Mobile needless to say just wanted. Sim card does show stock tmobile short code contacts but phone number shows as unknown. Hotspot won't work. I've tried setting the phone number to the sim. Nothing.
Anyways. I don't think I messed with anything, even so I've done everything to start the phone from scratch. Going to replace it, just more or less curious at this point and maybe others have had the same issue.
I believe I had the same issue as you and it was driving me crazy. I was constantly wiping data, system, etc but my phone kept giving the message "roaming indicator off" where it should show the name of the carrier. This resulted in me having LTE data and that's it- no 3g, no phone calls, etc. I couldn't even access the mobile network menu.
What ended up causing the issue was the network mode setting under wireless networks. Keep in mind at this point I'm running a patched rom which now gives more options in the network mode menu than the phone came factory with. I have an area at work where I have to switch to 3g, GSM/wcdma preferred network setting, because although I have full LTE signal, my connection goes dead. When switching back from 3g I chose the setting lte/CDMA thinking this would force my phone to stay in lte mode due to another area on an upper floor where the phone will constantly drop lte.
Anyways this resulted in my phone saying roaming indicator unavailable, the inability to make or receive phone calls, and either the mobile networks or network mode menus being grayed out. When stuck in this mode there is no way to put the phone back into the standard "GSM/wcdma/lte" mode. Even a complete reflash won't fix it. I even used lgup, which worked for maybe a day until it force closed the phone app and went back to roaming indicator unavail. I wiped every partition and even reflashed radio firmware. Nothing worked.
What ended up fixing it was using an app called v10 hidden settings which allowed me to access the network mode menu directly and re-choose the lte/wcdma/GSM setting. Incidentally on first access to this menu through the app there are only two network settings available. Once you choose a GSM setting, the rest appear.
I'm not sure if this was your issue but I hoped this helped because this took me about a week to workout.
