Are you selecting 2G networks only? If so, that will change it.

It also changes to GSM Only if Wifi Calling is enabled and connected.

no im not, all that changes on its own i just notice it only happens when i have my wifi on. its kind of a pain to have to keep changing it i never had that problem with any other phone

are you using the sim card that had been provided with g2x or from your previous phone? ive had issues where my apns had been disappearing after flashing custom rom, activated new sim today, works great just fyi

I'm having the same problem. I'm using simple mobile apn settings but, whenever i try to use my data. It changes back to the t-mo apn settings

Mobile network switching is normal behavior. If the Edge signal is stronger than the 3G signal the phone will switch to whichever signal is strongest. If you want 3/4G only then download '3G Only' app from the Android Market.

Wps

That could be a number of things. Only certain gear has the WPS buttons (Linksys/Cisco, I think).
1. Reset your router. If it used to work then just quit, rebooting the router usually fixes it.
1. Has it ever connected to any wifi equipment anywhere?
2. Check the security settings on your wifi router & verify you're using the same settings & key on the phone
3. Worst case, set up your wireless router to use no security & see if the phone connects. If so, it's probably your set up. Change the router back to decent security (WPA/TKIP or WPA2/AES) and make sure you set the phone up to access the wifi router with that same security.

The WPS button is located on the router itself. It should be easy to find.
Google the make and model of your router to see if you have one. If you are using your service providers router you can call them and ask them how you can connect via WPS connection

I dont know what was going on with it,but I did all the steps that yall told me but dint work,It got me mad ashell lolz I left my phone alone for a while when I came bk wifi was working it wierd ...but thank yall ,and just to let yall know it have happen before but never say nothing until now, I was wondering y this happens sometimes it just take 1 day for the wifi to start working, idont know why? it mite be routers or something cuz I know the phone aint the problem or mite be, ....but anyways thatnk you so much for both of you .....

Glad it's working. Weird that it stops working at times. Might be interference from other things if, when it stops working, it's always in the same location.
Good luck

LOL, I hear ya. You might want to try using a different channel on your router. It may help if it is a problem with interference.

your problem sounds like an apn issue or provisioning problem.
are you using a stock phone? what apn is selected?

I have that problem on Sky Ice Cream Sandwich 4.5. To fix it I quick toggle airplane mode.

Same problem here..I am not stock rooted. seems like an Lte issue.

I have a similar problem. I loose data out of blue. Called Att and they informed me that my data was removed for some reason. They reconnected but ever since than, I loose data for no reason. I have to reboot the phone. Even than, my data works for only 10-30 mind and disappears. When that happens, I have to call ATT and the disconnect my phone and reconnect and it works fine for a while. I've called them 4-5 time in last few weeks. They think its the phone. They are going to send me a replacement.

Verizon Roaming?

Ok so I just got this phone from Verizon and I did not now that the service would suck, I've been all through the settings bad even using roaming apps but nothing seems to allow me to roam and get a decent reception...
Does anybody know how to unlock the roaming option from the settings?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

Have you tried using "Roam Control" app? There is no setting built in to force the roam feature.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

dude, i just went thru the same exact thing today. i even went totally stock, kernel, recovery and everything, still stuck in roaming.
i spent hours then i did the factory reset code on the dialer ( *#7780# (Factory Reset) ) and it worked again, i was so happy because i was thinking that i have to deal with the bs with sending the phone back or getting a new sim if that was the case. i hope it works for you also.
EDIT: i thought you were stuck roaming, not that u wanted to roam hahhahaha nevermind

I did try and also used the phone info app to see if I was roaming but nothing changes.
Is there any way to update the Prl? To see if a different prl will give me better reception

Go to settings then data usage and hit menu and you can turn roaming on.

WiFi broke after Flatline NVflash

Tablet can't seem to connect to wifi after doing the Flatline NVflash. Anyone has this issue? When nvflash was done, I reflashed TF700_10.6.1.14.10_WW_Boot_TWRP_2610 running on CROMi-X 5.0.3. Booted up to find out that wifi is not connecting. I even tried factory reset and restore my previous backup but still no luck. Don't know what else to do besides a fresh install of cromi, which I'm really trying to avoid.

I know that Flatline *uses* WiFi, but I see no reason how it could break it, at least across a reboot.
Reboot your tablet and post the output of lsmod and dmesg.

ok here's what came up after reboot

The log shows that the driver is loaded correctly, but WiFi is not turned on. What happens when you try to turn it on in Settings?

Or maybe airplane mode? if not it must be something on the router side.

Its on in settings but says "saved, secured with wpa/wpa2" with a blank wifi icon on status bar. Also nothing happens when I click connect. Airplane mode is off too

by blank you mean gray? id say its an issue with your network, try forgetting the connection and rescanning.

Router is ok cuz all my other devices are connected on it

Well the wifi module is loading ok and wifi is scanning so there isn't an issue with the tablet. try tethering your EVOs connection to the tablet and see if it connects

Yes blank as in just an outline of the wifi icon, not greyed or color filled if it was connected with full reception

Forgetting connection/scan and reconnecting many times already with same results. Wifi direct on tab doesn't pick up my EVO but my EVO is able to pick up tab n connected successfully. I'm going to try uninstalling notification toggle bc that's the only thing on my tab from what I can tell that has access to network settings

Well just my luck....tried everything possible relating with wifi but still no connections. Guess I'll have to format sd and do a fresh install of cromi. Btw I'm on d2sd and if I were to wipe internal, does that delete the androidroot nvflash folder sitting in the internal memory?
