ON stock rooted and it keeps dropping to no signal

I am rooted and cwm recovery flashed. I have had a few instances in the past few days where it would drop from 2-3 bars 4g to X no signal. Just now it does it every time I attempt to download anything. I have tried enabling and disabling airplane mode etc and it does not help. I access the market with a couple of bars of 4g and instantly it will drop to X when I attempt to download or search the market.Any one else have these issues? Does anyone know what might be a fix for them(I know send the device back and wait for SSGII.LOL)

Send it back and wait. Thats waaaaayyyyy more fun. Heck you might even get an update one day. Of course I doubt it.
But hey its a nice phone.

I had the same thing happen a few times today. I noticed it more while checking facebook

Have you tried a factory reset?
I am rooted with cwm as well and have no such issues.

I have the same problem as well.
Very frustrating.
Who here HAS RETURNED a rooted phone?
Should it be a non-issue?

rooted, factory reset here as well. i guess i should update my Info

Mine does this every now and then, even with the Obrien fix. It's happened on the first 2 G2x phones I had, and happens on the one I currently have as well :/

Well you should unroot it first, then return it LOL
I'm on my 3rd G2x, and the first 2 were rooted (as is this one). I just flashed stock recovery and did a factory reset, then unrooted through One Click.

[Q] G2X still automatically reboots after gingerbread update

I am totally new heree and not sure if this is the right place to post this. Please bear with me.
I updated my G2X when the Gingerbread version first came out. I just noticed that it still automatically rebooted itself twice last night while I was reading. The G2X was right nest to me and I heard the T-Mobile tone while it rebooted. Has anyone experienced this? I thought this update shall fix this bugging issue. I also notice the battery drains faster. Anyone knows how to root it after gingerbread update? Thanks.

A factory reset after I did the update has helped me avoid all issues.

tmo will replace it. you just need to speak with them and not the first person you get. The first person I think are outsorced and they will transfer you to tmo tech guys.

Yup, go to the privacy menu and use the option.
The simple act of doing a reset does a lot for a smart phone.
I had an Iphone 3g where after 4.2.1 the solution to speed was to do 2 factory resets in a row.
Some people will return a laptop because they don't want to do a reboot.
------------After the reset, go to the marketplace and the first thing install the T-Mobile My Account app. The original version is problematic and can lead to buggieness

If you return a phone to Tmobile before doing a factory reset to see if it solves your problem then you simply don't value your time. A factory reset takes all but five minutes. If you call Tmobile you will have to wait for them to ship you a phone, and when it arrives it will be in "factory reset" condition anyway. If you go to a retailer and pick a replacement up, it too will be in the same condition. So if you are going to get a reset replacement, everyone would be wise to try a reset before rushing to Tmobile.

I had the same problems with GB after the update- I didnt do a factory reset though.
Moved to Eagles Blood and seems like a much more stable and cleaner rom- havent tested enough to see if it reboots or not though.

To root, flash clockwork mod recovery using nvflash and install a rooted rom. There's a rooted version of gb stock out there, or you could be adventurous and install one of the many custom ones we have.

Return your broken phone ASAP. Phones should not randomly turn off or reboot. It is broken. Do not try to fix a broken phone on your own. It will result in nothing but headaches. Take it back now!

Yeah my replacement phone still randomly dies, I'll come back in a few hours and have to do a battery pull. It doesn't reboot like the old one but it does die more.
Should I get the replacement replaced?

I ran Xboarders OTA GB with no tweaks since it came out. I then switched to EB 1.07 and had a ton of issues. I then returns to Xboarders OTA tweak and it was flawless. Now I am on to Weapon G2x.
Like I said, I really think a good scrub down and wipe, i.e. factory reset does wonders, at least folks should give it a try.

I absolutely agree that theres a good, actually great batch out there, I have NEVER had a single issue with my phone and its bone stock on 2.2.

So auto reboot issue is the only issue you people are facing in this mobile phone?

Returned phone . New works flawlessly. Tmo is aware of the issue. When u call you will talk first with an outsourced person. Get past them they will transfer u to tmo who will pretty much no questions asked process ur return

Purchase at eBay does not affect 1-year warranty.

Data speed icon?? Gone?? Invalid Sim sometimes??

Okay I have been having the t-mobile "invalid sim card" issue and the phone currently is running with the t-mobile carrier logo. I was able to make calls, and connect via WiFi. I am not able to access the web2go page when I select data in the "wireless & network settings" page with a check. I used to be able to at least access this page with wifi turned off and it would show a little 4g icon on the top? I will post some screenshots. I downloaded GeRIL just to see what it said? I think my phone is rooted? I ran superuser and said the phone was not but the last action I did before getting the t-mobile to show up was a zip restore with CWM so I assume it's rooted? Might be just a flash? One other thing is that I have the WiFi and GPS on and it does not appear to get my location for weather in the weather app?? I can open Google maps and GPS is within 60 meters of my location. I want to reboot the phone but am afraid it won't be back to normal and I will get the error "Invalid Sim Card" again? Is there anything or tests to run while the phone is on the t-mobile network I should check first before rebooting? Or files I should try to use or flash? Or any service menu codes to run diagnostics? Thanks in advance. I forgot to mention that I will be getting a replacement from t-mobile in a week, I did the online chat and they said they will send a replacement under warranty. The box has a date of 7/29/2011 so the phone is about 3-4 months old? The phone is unlocked and has been rooted before, but the issue happened days before I modded this G2x. Basically, today it could connect and tomorrow it might not...or If I reboot It usually goes to the "Invalid Sim Card" I have read other posts with issues of the same type from other users but found no solutions?? Baseband, RIL, Sim ect...all points to a bad phone(using t-mobile) because If I use any other carrier card in the phone it works without errors. That makes me think it's a firmware with t-mobile issue but I could be wrong? Hopefully if the replacement goes thru the same ICS 4.0 will be out and make this phone a beast again?

This might work or it might not: rename your APN manually (Settings/Wireless/Mobile networks/Access Point Names/edit) you can either edit or restore to default to restore mobile data connectivity. Try restoring to default.

I just accidentally hit Airplane mode and it killed it!!! Now it's back to the Invalid Sim Card error again...bummer!!!!

Wait a minute...I waited and read a few posts and clicked the Airplane mode off and on again and it came back to the t-mobile carrier..??? I still have not rebooted the phone though? Hmmm...should I?

Did you get a new sim card when you got the phone? I remember when I got this phone they told me not to use my 5 year old sim card from my previous phone. I say try a new sim card, if that doesn't work try to reset the apn with the instructions I posted last, and if that doesn't work it might just be a bad sim card reader.

I think more on the lines of a bad sim card reader...I have a new sim card...about a 3 days old, got it from t-mobile cause i had the older sim with the larger gold contact patch. The phone is already on order...they said 7 business days..

Yes some times that will work. Other times might take 2 reboots. Also sometimes toggleing airplane mode can bring back apn. After a few sim cards and all my problem went away. When I had the issue I was cm7 rom. Stock Rome didn't really seam to have this issue.

just to close this thread I already received my replacement phone from tmobile. I am no longer trying to track down the issue. Thanks for all of the replied and comments. every one who contributed will get a thanks from me.

Yes doing a hard reboot will reset the Apn/data loss problem. (Also toggling airplane mode would some times reset it.) This is only a tempory solution as it could happen again. On cm7 rc1 it would happen to me at least once a day. As well as many others. Off of the top of my head it was something wrong in a radio file.(? Not sure what file) shortly after the release cm7 stable 7.1.0.1 was posted. I believe that had the patch for the data loss issue. It is possible that some cm7 based Rome may still have a data issue loss as they might not have the updated patch. At the time stock based Roms did not have the issue and as far as know. Some people faced with this issue could have had a faulty sim or phone. The other thing that was happening during the life of this issue was how many people running cm7 based roms didn't have the issue. I no longer have this issue. I followed the bug report that was submitted and sealed out the sim card twice. (I think it was cm7 issue on my device) OP- I hope that this swap works for you. If it don't, I will be more that happy to help. also thank you for your service.
I have posted what I know and can remember here in hopes that it can help some one else out in the future.

When I had the phone I installed CM7, and the daily's...ect..It WAS a phone issue (hardware) I now have had the replacement phone for 1 week and no issues what so ever. That's not to say that the issue will arise again? I have rooted and am running no ROMs at the time but am thinking of going back to the FROYO 2.2 just to get the camera like it was in the older version. I hate the camera in GB 2.3.3. No zoom....c'mon LG..where did you guys lay down to sleep during this process if the development? One other feature that has nothing to do with the camera that I would like to see happen is to be able to enable a bluetooth mouse. I tried my Targus mouse and no luck. I think you can use a bluetooth keyboard but have none to test. I was thinking of shelling out the 160 smackers for the infared keyboard..small and can fit in your shirt pocket, and it's bluetooth.

Hi,
New to the S3 and this rom. Root, flash went well, and so far, I'm loving this rom. One problem that is stumping me is this:
Using ADW launcher, have a direct dial short cut to voice mail. The voice mail contact is set up to dial *86 ,,xxxx, so with one tap, I can call vm and access messages.
However, the keyboard then becomes non responsive. I can't delete or save messages, and if I have multiple messages, can't get to the next one.
Any suggestions on how to work around this appreciated.
I'm running the 3.2 beta version of LS, and really only have this, and one other minor issue.
Thank you.
Still haven't solved this, but here's more clarification:
Phone is running LiquidSmooth 4.2.1m v2.1m beta 3.2
1. Using a 'direct dial shortcut. the rom dialer has a contact set up named voicemail, that is programmed: *86;,,XXXX. When I hit the direct dial shortcut, voicemail is dialed, xxxx is sent, and I can hear my first voicemail. The problem is the dialpad is non responsive. So, I can't save or delete the first voicemail, nor can I proceed to listen to the next one.
If I dial *86, and enter the password manually, then the dial pad works.
Even if I dial any contact withGoDialer, then, open keyboard to dial and extension, I get the stock dialer.
I drive a lot, and need as few distractions as possible. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

--------------If you like puzzle, tackle this---------------
I tried pretty much everything on the internet before posting here.
My stock/no root phone started bootlooping. So I used Odin and root66.tar to get it back. Everything seemed to be good. After I got 3 updates:1) 30mb, 2) 60mb and 3) JB updated OTA. After 60Mb update my phone said Samsung and shows unlocked lock. After JB update my phone bootloops again.
I though it it was a bad update and reflashed stock no root 4.0.4 and OTA did the same thing.
I tried the gs3 tool to flash the recovery and it always fails.
I would appreciate any help.... I have been dealing with this non sense for the past 24h.

Alright, I'll try here. So, I'm on cleanrom 5.6. As far as I can tell everything is working, and there aren't any actual problems, but the phone doesn't know what the network is in settings and and when I drag down the notification bar it doesn't say it at the bottom. Anyone have an idea?

I am trying to install the stock systemui.apk file on my phone after I screwed up and flashed the wrong one, but installation always fails. I have moved the .apk to the /system/app folder and have changed the permission of the .apk but the file still won't install. What can I do?

carrier
Since you carrier wont load I believe following this tutorial with help fix your problem but check the conditions. Im not allowed to post links apparently so I attached it. I'll also flash cleanrom 5.6 and find out if its a software thing and get back to you. But it seems to me like its a MEID issue. So check the conditions in the link and if they are true I'd go that way. If not re-flash, clean install would be my suggestion. Yeah I run Cynagenmod 10.1 and it even knows I'm on Verizon. And Scott's roms always have the carrier.

replacement?
I think you may have a faulty chip. Also is your battery NFC capable? But to be honest Verizon will replace it for free if your under the 1 year warranty and don't have water damage or anything like that. Because if it doesn't work on the stock rom it's most likely a hardware problem in this case. So I would contact your carrier about that.

I have the stock battery and when I did call Verizon the first time they wanted me to contact Samsung first then get back to them so I figured i'd bring it here. It had worked before so I was wondering if maybe it fried somehow? Phone has never been dropped, no water damage, watch because I said that i'll drop it in 5 minutes and shatter my screen I guess I'll just try Samsung tomorrow and see what they have to say.

nfc
Actually I just thought of something else to try. Have you gone in and force quit nfc and cleared the app data? That may resolve the problem. Nfc will be under all apps and it is named nfc service.

Sim card reboot

So I recently switched to the new Baked ROM and everything has been working very smoothly until I had a message pop up saying unable to detect sim card please reboot to connect to network. Ive rebooted quite a few times and the phone will be fine only to have the issue pop up again. Today alone its happened about 5 times I had a similar issue with liquid smooth ROM as well, not as much as now though.I've notice it happens most of the time when I'm in areas that I get a weak signal, is there any way to fix this or atleast insure it doesn't happen as often?
I've reinstalled the ROM and wipe cache/delvik cache and it works for a bit then pops back up.
Thank you all for whatever input you have!

I posted about experiencing this in the AOKP forum. I was receiving a puk error on viper. Att gave me a new sim. From there I started was getting the sim inserted error Reboot. Tried flashing AOKP yesterday to see if that would fix the issue. It didn't. Went to att store today and the only thing they said was asking how I liked 4.2.2. No help at all.

Interesting, I just went back to jellybam 6.7 and haven't experienced it. I've used it before and it seems like its the only ROM I can use at this point.

So after some research I found out that the sim issue happens due to the sim tray/sim card not fitting properly so it's not the ROMs that's are effecting it. Simple solution was to put a layer of tape on the front side of the sim card to thicken it. (this would be the non metallic side) and all would be well. I did it last night and went back to the Baked rom and so far no issues in the past 24 hours.

FWIW my hox had this sim card error from one moment to the next but never recovered and no amount of tape or new sim cards fixed it. Its got nothing to do with the roms, its a hardware issue. I left it at a cell phone repair site since i had no warranty on it, hopefully they can fix it. I called att to cancel my line and to my surprise they offered me a warranty replacement even though i never bought that phone from them. If my hox cant be fixed ill still have the replaement coming in but id imagine its got jellybean already so im going to go into withdrawal without a rootable device.

I put tale on the back of mine and it has yet to have a problem for a few days now

Some SIM cards are being manufactured too thin. This has been a known issue since the phone launched. Scotch tape trick or get a new SIM card.
