0 Bars for connection strength?

I have recently purchased a HTC sensation and I followed this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107
After this It says "No signal" Which is 0 Bars
Is there anyway to fix this???
Thanks in advance!

I know this might seem silly but make sure all the gold points on the back cover are intact and meet up with the appropriate points in the phone. They are external antennae and you won't have a signal if they are bad.

They look good to me.....
Is there any way to see if they are broken?
Thanks!
Edit: I think if I change network It will be better, I am using giffgaff and whenever I go into network operators it says "Your sim doesn't allow this network".
Will it help trying a new network?

It could, make sure that they network you use is supports the frequency that the Sensation uses.

Try glancing around Google, I'm from the U.S. but it looks like several sensation users have had your same issue. http://community.giffgaff.com/t5/He...ection-on-my-HTC-sensation-phone/td-p/5396016
It looks like there were a few suggestions as to how you could get internet on the sensation.

Thanks!
I will try this out!

Anytime, let me know if it works. I'm curious as to why the network would behave that way.

How to enter *#0*# code on GT-P3113?

Good Day,
Just got a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 GT-P3113, just wondering how can I do a service test? It doesn't have a Phone app, on a regular galaxy phone i'll just type *#0*# and it will go to a service mode of sorts. But with this tab don't know where i can type the code or is there even a service mode in the tab.
Thank you

What do you want?
Being able to pinch those codes in or a harmless notification that doesn'taffect the functionality of the tab?

I believe there are apps on the play store that allow access to these types of menus without entering any dialer codes. I have never tried any but I know they are there. Its worth a search before pushing phone.apk IMHO.

Those apps just contain push codes. Press of it and it basically types it in the dailer for you.

Hi, thanks for the reply guys, whats the name of the app in play store? I guess i dont want to push phone.apk onto the tab, and its not yet rooted. Dont wanna root it yet until i check the display first, it will be bothersome to root and unroot if im gonna return it to warranty

Tethering help :(

Hey guys,
Here's what, my phone manages to establish a connection with my computer just fine, as it is able to with other devices. But apparently, it does NOT share my 3g while it's at it. I guess it's a common problem?

Oh and bluetooth tethering does not work either(similarly)

I'm not calling you a noob or any other name like that. Just search the development thread for "enable built in WiFi hot spot" and there it is. I literally found it in seconds, and you can too.

The only way that I know of to tether without root is to pay your carrier a fee (most probably a monthly fee) to enable it for you.
There are apps in the playstore that are supposed to work, but I haven't tried any so I can't say how well they work.

NUMA is my main ROM and I haven't had any problems tethering with it. It should be enabled by default, though. Are you using the native tethering app?

WiFi or USB? I've only used WiFi, but not in a while so I'll double check it when I get home in a couple of hours. As far as USB tethering goes, I may be wrong but I think you'd have to have something installed on your computer that supports it. A friend of mine uses PDAnet on both his phone and PC to USB tether his desktop but I don't know if something like that is required.

[Guide] [Discussion] (Possible) battery savings by disabling unused network bands.

WARNING: I DON'T TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES THAT MAY OCCUR TO YOUR PHONE/ SIMS/SD CARDS OR ANY OTHER ACCESSORIES OR DEVICES. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
As the title suggests this is a guide to disable certain network bands (GSM/WCDMA/CDMA/LTE) that are not supported by your carrier. Theoretically it should help save battery as the phone won't search for those bands anymore. I'm currently testing this myself and will provide feedback too. The more users try this the better as more feedback will provide better insight to how much battery saving we can get by doing this (if any).
Pre-requisites:
1. The phone needs to be rooted.
2. A free app called Network signal Guru from play store. Link below :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.qtrun.QuickTest
3. The bands that your carrier supports. Use Google/ wiki to search for your carrier and all the bands it supports.
Here it goes :
1. Install network signal guru and give it SU permissions.
2. The app will check for compatibility and download some "online configurations".
3. After the app opens click on the menu and select lock bands.
4. Click on the corresponding network and and UNTICK the bands that you found are NOT supported by your carrier. You might get a message saying that this might force the phone into a power cycle. Ignore it or just stop if you're "not interested now". ?
5. Do this for all the network types.
6. The phone might reconnect to the carrier (you'll notice by network icon in the status bar )
7. Exit the app if you want as these settings still stick if the app is not running.
That's it. You've successfully disabled the bands that you found are not supported by your carrier.
Currently I've tested it on MIUI 9.4.18 and should work on any ROM/ kernel as long as you do it right.
Notes:
1. The settings are removed after a reboot.
2. You might have extra options in the bands if you're using two carriers i.e dual SIM . The secondary carrier is marked by "extended" and the primary by "primary". Select the bands accordingly.
3. The LTE bands look to be "shared" by both the SIMs. So just select the bands of both the carriers if you're using LTE on both.
4. Try to give as much feedback as possible.

Kinda risky cause we have different network band usage and maybe "I'm in Philippines" I might screw something up but hey, I can restore it back. Worth a try I guess, thanks for the info.

It isn't risky at all. I've been doing this on many phones since a long time and never had any problem (unless you're really really unlucky ?.
If you're worried about "power cycle", it just means that the phone will restart and nothing else.
Edited.

Could you post a maybe timelime of your battery usage? Are you still using it on stock ROM?

Yep. Using it on MIUI EU 9.4.18.
I'll post a full battery timeline when I go through a full battery cycle.

The phone by default connects to the WiFi with better signal which more often will be the 2.4g. I see that you can't disable 2.4g on the router. I remember an app called smart WiFi selector and another app called WiFi 5 that can help you. Google them.

The app needs /Dev/diag to communicate with the modem and some kernels disable it. That's why it won't work on those kernels and I can't do anything about. You can ask the Dev of the kernel to include it.

dialer codes not working

I've the sm-n986u1 and on vzw and the only code I got to work is the csc changer.
The *#0011# and the others do not work for me. Any reason to why?

Have you tired using Google phone dialer? If you don't want to side load, you can get the official release by signing up for beta.

As I said Verizon and u1 firmware disable dialer codes. They do not work. Why are you gonna suggest something else. You need to be rooted and enable the hidden menus first. This has been ongoing for many years now.

I found a workaround... Using the *#272*imei# method and chosing the last option... Then select another csc.

Try downloading google phone app from the play store make it your default dialer and then dial the codes. Hope it works for you.
