by any chance are you using wifi-calling? If so, its because of the Kernel. People are reporting there are some issues with wifi calling, bluetooth dialing and some other items. If this is the case, then its probably best to check the threads that host the mods you used to answer questions like this. If not, I would start with flashing the original kernel back.

as a matter of fact yes i did load the kernal each time, i was on wifi calling but it also happened when on the network as well, so i guess ill try flashing back the og kernal and see what happens thank you and hopefully if that is the problem it gets fixed because i was getting awesome battery life with the bali kernal, again thanks.

[Q] Have to Reboot to get the Network Back<<<<

ok, so i have this thing for a lil over a month now i think maybe more....
but i have noticed that no matter what Rom or Kernel, even Stock.
if im in an area where i lose signal.....it may NEVER come back unless i reboot my phone. not a big deal in most cases but unless i look to check i may have no network for a couple hours before i notice that i have to reboot my phone. which means i get no calls and no text.
is there a fix for this or is this just something that i am experiencing??

that is strange that it does not auto-reconnect. my suggestion would be to try a different modem than the one that you have been using, if you have not already tried all 3. find them here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1173704
both odin and cwm flashable versions. maybe you'll have better luck with signal with a different modem, so that your signal doesn't drop completely at all.
on my SD card i have had all three modems for a while now that i had been flashing to see which one i would stick with. but my phone has been doing this since day one. on any rom or kernel or modem. i just wanted to know has anyone else seen this or is this just specific to my phone........
at that point i would be looking to get another one.

you may not have to reboot - have you tried just toggling airplane mode on and then back off? that restores data when it goes out for a lot of people.
if you've tried that, and it doesn't work... not sure what to tell you, except to exchange the phone.
i rarely ever have a strong signal - usually worse than -100 dbm, especially at my house - but i've never had the problem you are describing.
hope you get it worked out. maybe contact at&t or samsung for support also, while you are on the stock ROM.
So far the airplane thing seems to work. so i will ride with that, it doesnt seem to happen but once a day or so......so if i can just do that then i will just deal.
thanks for the idea bruh.

Trouble making and ending calls

Hey everyone,
I have had the infuse roughly since it was released. Never really had any call isuues or anything. Lately however, about 90% of my calls end up dropping. Also, when i try to end a call, the phone kind of freezes and shows that the call has not ended, but it should have. The phone symbol shows up at the top or the status bar stays green... I have no idea what this could be attributed to. I have used different roms and never had an issue. My most recent rom is the Max Q Rom and everyhing was working fine then after a few weeks this calling and ending calls situation started. Tried reflashing the Rom, but problem is still present, dont really think it is Rom related.
Anyone have any input? I cannot seem to figure it out and my phone as a phone has become virtually unusable...
Thanks for any and all help!

Have never heard of that.... still have you tried a data and cache wipe in cmw? then install a rom on a fresh device? I know you will have to back up all your stuff but may be the answer.
Also try another modem may help. Im not sure since ive never experienced that but give it a try.

I can relate. I had the same exact issue a few days ago. I just flashed and didn't look back.. though I probably will eventually. Try Mitra, very good. I loved it. Experimenting with Caty's rom now. Good luck. Wipe/factory reset, wipe dalvik and fix permissions. Then flash. Let it sit for 10-15 before you start using it. Make sure it settles and gets used to, "it's native infuse guts," as EXPERIMENT put it.

[Q] Need Help with NexusMod 4 UCLA3 2.3.6

I cant ask this in the Development section under the rom to I am hoping to get some help here.
I recently flashed (this is my 4 or 5th Rom I've flashed so I'm still somewhat new to this) NexusMod 4 UCLA3 2.3.6 to my phone and it has been working great. Up until I started using my headphones (that came stock with the phone) to talk on the phone and answer calls. About 4 mins into a call the phone will say "SIM card ejected. Reboot Phone." if I reboot the phone with the headset plugged in I get the same error. Once I unplug the headset and reboot the phone can see the SIM card again and everything works fine. I am confused about the correlation between the headset and a SIM card.
Is there a setting or something I'm doing wrong to cause this? I know the simple solution is to just stop using the headset, but I love puzzles and cant figure out what would cause this.
That's a really weird problem, I've had no trouble with this rom on my rogers phone. Did you flash the radio first like it said?
Hardware behaviour is usually related to the kernel, so maybe try a different kernel that supports your phone and hope that might fix the problem?
Yep, I made sure to flash the modem first then NexusMod. I'll do some Kernal research (see what works best for others) and try a different one. Any recommendations??
I was coming from SkyICS, but I did the full wipe as instructed. so I'm not sure if this has a influence.

Not sure, I haven't used the stock headphones but I use iphone headphones with a mic for calls with nexusmod4 and it works fine. I use the kernel it came with after trying all the rest of the kernels and having my battery murdered with them I returned to romracer0.3. For me it delivers the best battery life
Sounds like very abnormal behaviour, if you did a full wipe then it's probably a hardware not software thing. Especially if it only happens '4 minutes into a call', maybe your headset itself is doing something funky.
Its not exactly 4 mins into the call, but it does not happen immediately, the times it "ejects the SIM Card" varies. I will try another headset before I start flashing other kernels.

Proper Radio/Modem flashing?

Hello, I am hoping someone can set me straight on the flashing of modems/radios and what is the proper way to do it.
Do they have to be flashed during the rom flash and then never touched until the next rom flash or can they just be flashed any old time?
The reason I ask is because I was booting into CWM and flashing each Modem/Radio one at a time and testing them out. I narrowed it down to one that had the best call quality but after flashing back to it the quality was worse then it was the first time I had flashed that one. Is it possible for a modem to install differently the second time? I am not running any formatting or clearing anything.
Why would the same modem/radio give different call quality on different installs?? Should I only be installing the modems/radios at the beginning when I first flash the rom?
Would like to sort this out as my outgoing call quality is pretty bad. Tested my SIM card in my old Galaxy S on CM9 and it sounded a million times better. My Galaxy S2 LTE is on SKY ICS 4.2F6.
You can flash a new radio/kernel on your phone any time after you've flashed the rom (as roms usually flash a radio/kernal when you flash the base) and it should not have any adverse effects on your phone (unless the kernel/radio is buggy/bad for your phone).
As far as formatting/clearing, I habitually clear my cache whenever I update anything on my phone and I haven't had any issues with deteriorating call quality and the like.
That is strange. My outgoing call quality is so bad compared to my Galaxy S on CM9.
I just flashed my phone to CM9 RC2 and will see how that goes. Now I just have to wait for a friend to give me a hand testing call quality.
It's really strange how I had different results with the same radio but different installs.

I'm actually running CM9 RC2 as well and am having major issues with the radio that gets flashed with it (UCLF6) as I live in a test LTE area. The reception goes to 0 to full every 2 seconds and I never get any phone calls or missed calls when people call me.
CM9 RC2 seems to have an issue with the LTE toggle, Network Mode and "2G only" features. As soon as u turn it on, it auto switches back to the default LTE being on.
I did a little bit of research and found that I would need to flash a "RAT UNLOCKED" radio. My concern is the same as the OP in that I'm a little confused as to the proper method and steps to doing this. Any help is greatly appreciated. I think both me and the OP will benefit.
I've attached a screenshot of my about phone page.
Thanks!
I recall seeing those "RAT Unlocked" radios listed on Mohan's Embryo thread.
It can be seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754473
I have no idea if those radios can be used with CM9 or not but I'm thinking of trying the embryo ROM and seeing how my call quality goes.
My problem is nowhere near as severe as yours. I get decent signal and can receive calls fine. My outgoing audio just sounds horrible and garbled. Who knows, maybe my issues also has something to do with LTE.

That as almost correct. ROMs usually contain a kernel and the /system. They almost never contain a radio. That being said, yes, you can flash a new radio at any time. There are quite a number of radios for the Skyrocket because each ICS leak pretty much had a new one. You should have no issues flashing either a Rogers or AT&T radio on a Skyrocket. From what I've read and seen, different areas of the country do better on different radios. I would personally start with the radio from either the AT&T or Rogers official release and then work backwards from there.

The radios should work the same regardless of the ROM.
okay that sounds promising. to flash a radio do you simply flash the zip over everything on CWM? do u need to clear or format anything? once you flash do you need to change any APN settings or anything? sorry if these questions seem novice but i usually just use the stock radio. fist time doin this
Also: Where can i find and download the official rogers modems?

HMM.. Any idea why I would be experiencing these problems then? Just seems strange that I installed the same radio twice and it had different results on each install. Do you think it could be a phone hardware issue?
Would it matter if my phone is a Rogers and I am running an AT&T radio? Maybe I should try the Rogers radios?
@Ompalompa287
From what I gather... Just flashing the zip in CWM is all you need to do. No settings to change or anything. I have heard of some people wiping cache as well.
I just simply need to know if there is anyway to disable 3g (force to edge) network? I have a at&t Skyrocket running cm9 Chopsticks.

So I just found out my phone has Noise Cancellation for the microphone. Maybe it's the noise cancellation mic that is causing the issues.
Does anyone know how I can disable the noise cancellation to test this theory?

Trust me, I have looked everywhere for an option to turn it off and I can't find one. I am on Sky ICS 4.2F6
Where do you go to turn yours on and off?
since cwm does not wipe the radio, flash new radio two times, even three times just to make sure it completely overwrites the old one you are replacing

If it's in the usual ics location it will be in the in call menu.

[Q] wifi seems to be stuck

My wifi was working fine before but yesterday I tried getting on wifi and the position seems to be stuck. It seems like it was to connect but it wont connect, i leave my phone to try and connect for many hours and it doesnt. I go to mysettings to try and turn the wifi position to off and i cant. Ive tried restarting and taking the battery out and nothing helps. I got my wifi to turn off, and after a few hours without trying to get on wifi i tried connecting and its back to what it has been doing, like in a stuck position. I got it to go off by turning the phone off completly for a few hours. Any help is well appreciated. Thank you in advance. I tried attaching a picture to better explain this, but for some reason I cant even attach a file.
What rom are you on?

I've been having weird WiFi issues recently too. I'm stock. I disabled the ATT Smart WiFi but that doesn't seem to fix things. Tried one of the WiFi applications to reconnect when it detects the failure but that works only about 99% of the time.

My wifi doesnt even connect now, it shows that its trying to connect but it wont. The wifi icon doesnt go to full green, it stays on a transparent green, like it wants to connect but wont.
If it was me I'd flash the stock from and get it back to the way it used to be. But if you're on stock now and haven't done any flashing its going to take a lot of learning on your part. You are going to have to learn to use odin and where to get the stock rom. Not sure if you're up for that.

If you both are on stock call ATT. They will be more then happy to help you. With your level of knowledge that is your best course of action. They will most likely tell you to factory reset your phone. You will loose all your apps and settings. Tell them you want to back that up first. They should be able to help you from there.

Hey guys,
I've been using this phone (skyrocket ROGERS version) and have had this problem ever since I "upgraded" to ICS; and I've had so many problems with this phone! I've just learned to accept that my WiFi will never work consistently enough for me to use it so I just always use my data plan (luckily I've got a lot of data).
THINGS I HAVE TRIED
Cm 10 stable
Cm 10 nightly
Cm 9 stable
Miui
Flashing stock ICS
Flashing stock Jb
Things I haven't tried
Flashing stock gingerbread (because this was the only time my WiFi worked consistently, but why go back to gingerbread)
If anybody has ANY insight on this it would be very helpful
I guess I should also mention that I've flashed everyone of these ROMs that I listed at least 3-5 times just to ensure it wasn't just a bad flash.
