Hi,
Since ICS 4.0.3 and now on 4.0.4, I can't hear my contact and my contact can't hear me on the first call.
I tried to use the speaker, the headphones or a Bluetooth earpiece but none of these work.
The second call is always alright, regardless the output (earpiece, speaker, headphone, ...).
This is not an operator issue, since I changed and had the problem before.
Does anyone encounter the same issue?
The only workaround I found yet, is to call voicemail on the first call so that the second call is alright.
I tried to factory reset the phone while on 4.0.3 and hoped the 4.0.4 update change something on that matter but it didn't.
Thank you for your replies.
Some things to try:
-Flash a different radio (can find all of them in the dev section)
-Full wipe (data/factory reset, format /system, format /boot) and reflash your preferred ROM
I've never had the problem, good luck getting it fixed though.
Thank you for your answer. I might try these when I found out how.
I've seen this bug on many many NEXUS S (4.03 & 4.04)
I think ALL NEXUS S have this bug with all mobile carriers.
Sometimes, particularly if the phone was idle, when you call someone : there is no sound.
It's like the speaker and the microphone were off.
You can raise this bug very easily, maybe 20% of the calls.
Hi,
I have the same issue, in France, with Orange.
Does someone has an idea, even a piece of solution ? It's my work phone, and it's very annoying when a client calls me or when I have to call him in return.
I can test, try .... I need a quick solution
Thanks
Sylvain
Are you using a custom ringtone at all? I remember reading somewhere that if you use a format other than .ogg sound file this can happen. I had it happen a few times in the past. If you're using a different format there is Online Audio Converter to convert to .ogg here: http://media.io/
Hope this helps
Conversion of my ringtone done .. waiting for some calls now

Don't forget to go into sound settings and choose your new ringtone, otherwise it will be unknown. I forgot after just moving the file over to my phone and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't ring.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Converting the ringtone is not a solution. I'm still having the same problem ...
I'm sorry, I misunderstood the OP. I thought you were saying there was no sound as in not ringing on the first call after reboot. Tells me not to browse XDA after working 22 hours lol. What rom/kernel are you using?
No problem.
I have the official 4.0.4 ROM.
The problem was the same with the 4.0.3 .. actually, after the update to 4.0.4, the issue is more imporant.
Someone suggested to flash another radio ROM. I check the topic on that matter and wonder if I need to be rooted to do that. There's no mention you need to be but saving /efs folder suggests you must be.
Also, instead of flashing the radio, can I tried to fully wipe the phone? I heard the factory reset do not reset everything on the phone, is there a way to do this?
Thank you
Hello,
I'm back from a week-end in spain (I'm french). I didn't have any sound problem. So it seems that it really linked to the provider (I have a contract with Orange).
I'll try to look at the post to change the radio ROM.

Hi, I'm french too and have the same problem but with a different provider (Bouygues). In my opinion, it's not related to the provider.
Like already said, it seems that the phone cannot get out the speaker and microphone from idle for the first call.
Note that today i've got twice the problem and success on the third call...
If someone find a solution, let me know
Hi,
Is this bug only encounter by people from France?
try to change radio you can search which radio suits on your place.. or flash another rom you can choose bunch of good rom with 4.0.4 and kernel
heres the link of nexus s radio http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884
Someone already suggested that. Unfortunately, to my understanding, to proceed you have to be rooted and save some folder (/efs or so). Since I don't know how to root the phone and don't want to loose the warranty, i did not take that option yet.
I have the same problem (in France too). In my case the problem is even worse: call failure reaches nearly 100% when connected to a wifi network.
Hello,
I've the same issue.
my phone: Nexus S I9020a / ics 4.0.4 / Radio:XXKL1 / Carrier: Orange in France.
I used this page to try different radio : Radio GUIDE.
I was unable to flash UCKJ1 : fastboot say write error, and CWM say ok but the baseband wasn't changed. maybe because it was unsigned
I then flashed with success XXKF1. (this one was signed).
I'v tested with two call, and that's worked (I'll have to wait to be sur it's realy worked).
On the Radio page there is a "Warning do not flash on 9020a" for the XXKL1 radio : maybe the explanation for 9020 owner.
after deeper test : XXKF1 radio doesn't fix the problem.
I've swtiched to GB 2.3.7 / CM 7.1 / Lucid-Kernel-blue and the problem is gone away.
I've still the XXKF1 radio, so the radio doesn't seem to be the problem. It's an ics 4.0.3 problem (the radio of ics 4.0.3 is OK).
GB 2.3.7/ CM7.1 is far more responsive for me (and have a kernel with pre-2.3.3 color driver ), ics don't miss me. I've my phone from only a month and haven't tested GB before the sound problem.

Hi,
I've got a little Problem. I bought a Polaris from eBay and now I have my problems with it. When I bought it, there was 3LIT3_V_Full installed. But I wasn't very happy with this ROM, so I flashed some other ROMs.
Afterwards when I tried my first calls with my "new" phone I noticed that the Phone doesn't work properly. Fist call (incoming or outgoing doesn't matter) is no problem, but a second one is not possible. First call (a working one) is always after a 10-minute break and several softresets I think.
Incoming calls let the phone ring but if I want to answer the time begins to count but no one is there. The caller always says afterwards, I would hang up.
Outgoing calls are the same. I call, hav no sound on my phone and if the one I call wants to answer his phone does like I did hang up, while my phone begins to count the time...
Same Problem happend with diverse ROMs. Now I tried the actual original HTC-ROM without of ANY other software and now it works.
So my questions:
What could be the reason? an old Radio Version? perhaps NoData that blocks something? or possibly blocks S2U2 the hang up of the first call and so block further ones?!
does anybody have an idea?!
Please
Whichever rom you want to install "you havent said" just look for the recomended radio for that rom and install that.
I thought each ROM installs its Radio?!
I would prefer the 3LIT3_VII_Full ROM.
Some roms do install radio some don't im not sure about 3LIT3.But on the 3LIT3 thread it say's If you want to change the radio, it must be a 1.59.xx.xx radio.
Hmm ok. This semms to be the problem. After flashing the cooked ROM my Phone says Radioversion 1.58.xxxxxx. the original ROM flashes 1.59.42.15...
so the 3LIT3 ROM flashes an older and possibly not working version of the Radio
So I think I just have to flash the newer Radio after flashing the 3LIT3 ROM.....
Tutorial?!
All I read about changing the radio is: DANGEROUS! not very helpfull
so please can s.o. tell my what I have to do?
where do I find thes new Radios. All I found were version 1.58.xx.xx or before and 2 special 1.64.xx.xx radios...
CustomRUU will only flash your radio it's as safe as flashing a rom.Here's the link for 1.59.42.15 http://rapidshare.com/files/145185172/HTC_Polaris_Radio_1.59.42.15.rar.html.If that doesn't work for you just do a search for polaris radios and try another.
Thank you!
I hope it will work now.
I think it was my fault. Supposable I flashed an other ROM including Radio 1.58.xx before because now i reread the thread about 3Lit3 and I found out that since version VII there is no Radio included...
My fault I hope.
Thanks to all who did help me!
[Q] Issue with 1.47.401.4 : often get "Limited Service" and hard to get signal back
Hi there,
Since 1.47.401.4 (and never before with 1.28.x), I'm experiencing issues with the radio, especially voice:
1/ I often get a "Limited Service" warning in places where I could easily get a decent signal to give a call.
2/ Each time I got the "Limited Service" warning, it can take ages before the signal gets back (after I moved to some other place).
3/ Sometimes, I need to reboot the terminal to get the voice signal back.
I did perform a full wipe (factory reset) on my phone and install the rom again (using the roms.zip method within the bootloader) but it didn't really solve this issue.
I also cleaned the sim card contacts, just in case, but this was useless.
I also chose "GSM auto (PRL)" in the phone settings, this helped a bit, but still this annoying issue remains.
If someone got a clue, I'm interested ! And if anyone is experiencing such weak/bad signal issue, I'm interested in your feedback.
Cheers.

I have the same problem! 1.28.x was OK, bet the newest one in terms of receiving signals is just terrible!

In complete contrast to what you two are saying..(see my old thread where I had this problem with the older radios http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133785)
I'm now running on the latest radio but not the latest ROM (as I use LBC MOD which is currently based on a 1.36 ROM) and I no longer experience this problem.
My conclusion being that the newest Radio is better.
Thanks for your feedback.
Would you then say that the "Radio_20.28I.30.085 AU_3805.06.02.03_M" was the answer to your phone bad signal issues ? Then, I might need to use another rom an check if that helps...

I have this problem as well and have emailed HTC but received no reply yet.
Also sometimes it all looks okay and allows calls out but incoming calls go straight to voicemail.
Well, HTC will probable ask you to send your phone for repair.
Actually, this is what they've just replied to my email. But I won't send my phone for a simple flash that I could do my-self !
It seems this is a known issue of the HTC phones (there are plenty of such reports on the internet).
Although this problem hasn't effected my calls on the latest radio version, I do agree that I've often seen what looks like severe signal fluctuations, from zero bars to full bars etc, I've also read about this being an issue on the incredible s
I'm hoping that further rom and radio upgrades will improve this.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App
It seems that the "Limited Service" issue is caused by a signal loss (i.e. using the elevator for instance) that is never followed by an automatic "good signal" retrieval (i.e. after leaving the elevator and going to a place where signal is usually very good).

did it mean did I switch my phone to WCMDA only? if so the answer is NO, mine is set to Auto as around where I live and work there is reasonably good signal.

yes, this is what i wanted to know anyway, this didn't change anything for me.
Have you progressed any?
I tried flashing to 1.28 via the RUU at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506 but it doesn't appear to want to do a downgrade.
I don't seem to get getting the no service at the moment but I am having problems with incoming calls going to voicemail when the phone claims to be connected.
I put my SIM (giffgaff, a MVNO on O2-UK) into my old phone (an XDA Zest) and put an O2-UK SIM into the HTC. At times I could call the XDA with no problem but calling the HTC went to voicemail - two phones next to each other on the same network....
Of course I can't say if this was a problem with 1.28 as I wasn't looking for it but I suspect 1.47 is the problem.
As expected HTC want me to send the phone back which I think I might do and try and persuade them to downgrade it for me.
yes some progress, at last ! I followed the step by step procedure to s-off the rom 1.47.401.4 rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194488) and then downgrade to the 1.28.401.7 rom that I was using originally. And now everything works fine...
i could say that once again i learnt that newer doesn't mean better

What method did you use to do the downgrade?
I was thinking of trying the method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1190992 which I don't think needs s-off.
Update: I tried the non S-OFF method and have downgraded to 1.28 - I'll see how it behaves now.
I used the PG88IMG.zip method. Basically, you need to copy the roms.zip extracted from the RUU installer to the root of your /sdcard and then reboot your phone to the bootloader.

I ran the RUU exe directly which seemed less involved. It's looking good so far but I'll need to get out and about and see how it behaves in different locations.

do I have to do something before that? I used this ruu:

where can I get a rom.zip that works?
After earlier saying that I'd not experienced this limited service problem, I have now witnessed this a couple of times.
Although, since I applied this
20.4130.0818U_3817.07.00.19_M RADIO I haven't, will re-update post if I do!
This is the Radio that came with the recently leaked Sense SAGA Sense v3.0 ROM and appears to work fine with LBC mod.
does anyone know if one can install this radio over 1.47 with s-off and no root? and if yes - how?
there were a lot of posts (including one of mine) where people complained that when data network mode was activated and they tried to answer / make a call, they couldn't. and if they did try to, it wouldn't answer and the network bars would become grey (that is, no bars) and it would take a couple of minutes for network to come back (or until you restart, whichever comes first).
anyway, i had some issues with my phone and i gave to the service center. i told them of it and they flashed the stock ROM + kernel. i had some other issues as well, so they said they'll keep the phone for two days.
so i'm getting my phone back tomorrow. now i want to know if flashing the stock firmware did in fact solve anyone's issues. if it did, i'll continue with the stock rom / kernel (please tell me which was causing you the problems). if not, i'll flash a custom ROM / kernel again. please let me know.
also, does anyone know why this happens? is some app causing these problems? because after flashing a new custom ROM (without any user apps installed) i can call / receive properly without deactivating the data network mode.
but, no user apps (and no google account sync either) = no internet traffic.
i'd request the expert devs (ROM makers, kernel developers, testers etc) to please leave their opinion as i'm not the only one who faces this issue. a few of us do and this is one of the few unsolved issues on this forum.
thank you.

ur last custom rom??? wer u using 3g turbocharger??
frankly i don't know what 3g turbocharger is :/
i was using kyrillos' ROM 8.0 (updated to 8.1) and i did run the supercharger script, but i don't think that's what you're talking about. i wasn't using the 3g network.
i've been facing this issue for a LONG time now. i've changed a few ROMs but same effect in all of them. maybe it's something to do with the european firmware (i live in mumbai, india) or something, i'm not sure. are you on vodafone? where in india do you stay?
Well even i am facing this strange network problem but only indoors!!
Outdoors the range is full!!
Since we all flash custom roms that are based on european base, i thought that the problem is related to the modem.bin AKA baseband!!
So i was thinking of just flashing the modem.bin again from any asian firmware.
But before doing that i flashed the old ddjg6 (eclair) rom just to see if baseband flashing is worth it.
Well the network problem was still there!! so the conclusion was that baseband/modem.bin flashing wont affect anything!!
stay happy!!
I cant remember if kyr8 had 3g turbocharger tweaks on build.prop.. But yes with 3g turbocharger on , I hav sum issues with data connection...
-tapatalked by RnB
Btw did u get phone.apk force close while happenin this??
-tapatalked by RnB
phone.apk force closed often. but never because of the weird data connection. i think it just generally force closed.
and i have been facing this problem since kyrillos' 6.0 or 7.0. one of the two. can't remember. also, please look for my "a request for a custom lock screen?" thread in galaxy 3 general and let me know if you can help. thanks!
also, people who are facing such issues please leave your name and "symptoms" here.
yes i also face the same problem of network,no solutions found yet.but i am not sure whether this prob happens to all the network or just VODAFONE,as i am using VODAFONE only.
okay please visit this thread :

also, here's a bit of my network story if it helps anyone understand this issue :
i bought the phone when it was running Eclair. it worked fine for a few days then i started to face the issue. when i tried sliding the green answering thing to the right, it just wouldn't answer. it would go back in it's place. when people called me, it said it was unavailable. my network used to restart, and calls would randomly get cut and i couldn't call back immediately. i had to wait for 10-15 seconds before i could make / receive any call again. within this time, the calls would dial, but not connect.
so i upgraded to froyo (JP2) from the samsung gallery. my phone worked PERFECTLY for two months or so. no call drops, no nothing. then all of the above started happening again.
i tried flashing different ROMs, kernels etc but nothing helps.
and neo, i face this problem everywhere. indoors and outdoors.
okay so i'm getting my phone back tomorrow. does anyone have any tips for me? something that i should or should not do? like flash a european ROM or just the kernel or not to install a specific app or something?
i do have the same situation. it worked very good by me, till marcellusbe released his cm7 alpha4 i think. i installed it, and since then i have got that network problem, during calls f. example i lose the communication. i dont hear amything, it freezes, and turns back to menu after a few seconds. then i notice that its in the flight mode automatically. and this just happens me when i have got the data connections on. if i deactivate it i dont face any problems like that. i also noticed since i once installed cm7 alpha4 , i have got a strange battery drain. i charg the phone till its fully cjarged, after 3 hours i do not have any battery any more.. help me in that ... PLEASE
i really become frustated the whole time when this happens to me, pls find a solution!! ....

Well if flashing customs roms and kernels is not helping, you need to try only flashing the stock modem.bin!! I really dont know how to do that safely but people do it!! If you can update the OP like "Please help in flashing just modem.bin" then maybe someone makes and give you an update.zip or a tar containing just modem.bin.
If that too fails to solve your problem, then you must demand a replacement of the handset from samsung! Thats all i can say man!!
Well, the same is happening with me. Even i have vodafone and i live in pune, india. I didnt use eclair for alot of of time so I don't know whether it is a froyo-eclair prob.
The problem that happens with me is that, when i go to my classes (which are in a damn closed area) i dont get any signal. Even though the network bars are zero i still get messeages and phone calls. but when i call someone or message it does not reach. It only happens in some places like my classes and school, but not at my house.
I found a way (not quite conventional but works). I have found that when i flash a rom; irrespective of whether stock or custom; the signal catching is quite stong. But after a month or two it is becomes laggy again. So i flash another rom and again it's good. I dont know whether it is a correct method but works for me.

Same place!! Pune!! But i get the problem only in some areas!!!
okay so i've been using the stock firmware for two-three days now. and i've been facing absolutely no network problem as such.
when i press *#1234# here are my results :
PDA : i5801DDJP2
phone : i5801DDJP2
CSC : i5801DDJP2
build info : 2011, 04
now can someone interpret this for me? i mean tell me what exactly this means. which of those is my ROM build, my kernel build, or baseband or whatever.
tell me if there are any custom ROMs / kernels built on these builds (or updated ones, but still indian updates) so that i can test if those work for me?

okay so i've been using the stock firmware for two-three days now. and i've been facing absolutely no network problem as such.
when i press *#1234# here are my results :
PDA : i5801DDJP2
phone : i5801DDJP2
CSC : i5801DDJP2
build info : 2011, 04
now can someone interpret this for me? i mean tell me what exactly this means. which of those is my ROM build, my kernel build, or baseband or whatever.
tell me if there are any custom ROMs / kernels built on these builds (or updated ones, but still indian updates) so that i can test if those work for me?
thanks.

There is no custom rom build on this build as this build is lot buggy than the other european firmwares.
And that phone is the baseband responsible for the network and all!!
Some people face network problems some dont!!
Here is the phone of i5801ddjp3 firmware
http://www.mediafire.com/?34yrw4b7fe63tri
If you unzip this file, you get the modem.bin
Now there has to be a way to flash this modem.bin over custom firmwares!!
here is the sgs version of it!! This thread contains of all modem.bin of stock firmware to be flashed over custom rom to get better baseband for samsung galaxy s!
Even I used to face similar problem but only on custom rom's not on stock ones.. but using the stock rom's is too boring so now I have flashed with purungrit's rom v.1.0, kernel G3 mod 2.0, and its working fine, no network issues. The theme is good with extended power menu and 5 lockscreen.. u can try this. we can flash custom rom's based on Indian firmwares and face no network problems, problem is only with European or other countries firmwares..

But the problem is that indian firmwares are a bit inferior as compared to european firmwares.. If you compare any indian firmware with jpq or jpu you will feel the difference..
I really want someone to try that modem.bin method
Tapatalked from my awesome G3 aka apollo
Ask some of the devs that whether this method can be used n is it safe.. than we can go for it.

Hi all,
I've just bought a new SII Skyrocket to replace my Motorola Bravo -- the bravo was terrible purchase and though the Skyrocket is a two year-old phone I consider this a big step up.
I bought the phone on eBay and it was advertised as new. It arrived in its original packaging with the security seal intact, so I have no reason to doubt this. The phone is running ICS (4.0.4 build IMM76D.UFCLF6).
The phone arrived yesterday and I really like it, but I've encountered a weird issue. If I reboot the phone then it is no longer able to make any sound. Any action that requires sound -- incoming calls, outgoing calls, choosing a ringtone, playing music, taking a picture -- causes the phone to freeze for a minute or more and then become very slow. Rebooting again makes no difference. The only solution I've found is to reboot into recovery and factory reset, though this may only work after several tries.
- Has anyone heard of this issue before?
- Is it likely to be fixed by upgrading to Jelly Bean (I'll install a custom ROM if I can be sure that the phone is working properly) or is this more likely a hardware issue?
Apologies if this question has been answered before. I've searched the forums here and elsewhere, but I haven't found any mentions of similar issues.
Thanks for your help!
Try flashing a stock UCMC1 ROM and doing a factory reset after your flash finished successfully and Odin rebooted your phone.
3 things you need:
1- skyrocket windows drivers from Samsung website
2-Odin
3-stock ucmc1 tar ball.
Refer to this page:

You don't need to install a custom rom. Try updating to official jellybean with kies, if that doesn't work then try C64's advice above with either UCMC1 or UXUMA7 (uxuma7 is less bloated).
The issue you're having is odd and I haven't encountered it before..

Thanks for the suggestions, C64 and lingowistico. Upgrading to JB was going to be my next move, but I wanted to know if anybody had seen this behavior first. I don't want to mess with the phone too much in case the seller will take it back (I may be on a loser there). I'll try the official upgrade and let you know.
Custom ROM not necessary -- true, but I've been running CM on my bravo for a couple of years and can't go back to a stock ROM. I'll try the de-bloated version of the official JB release, but I'd like something I can have more control over.
Cheers...

when phone is doing odd things the best way to ts is a complete wipe, formatting/removing sdcards then returning to stock w/odin, but you could try the debloated rom 1st just to test it out, if its resolved then its prob not hw related, just make a backup of ur current rom if planning on returning it but since you install an official stock it should also be returnable

Thanks Vincom. I don't have access to a Windows machine at the moment so haven't been able to try the upgrade.
One question -- how is it possible to make a backup of the current ROM without first rooting and installing a custom recovery? I suppose that I could install the custom ROM and create a nandroid backup. Then if I needed to restore I could restore the nandroid and reinstall the stock recovery. Is there an easier way?
Apologies, I just saw that you have information on reinstalling the stock recovery on your Newb Guide.
BTW, I want to say thanks for your work on the Newb Guide. One of the things that sold me on this phone was the support that it has here. Amazing to have all of the information on installing the custom recovery, rooting, etc. all in one place.

I believe I had this kinda issue once before, it was when I flashed CM10 or something. No incoming sound, sound did not work whatsoever, but installed a different kernel solved the issue, or flashing a new different rom.

UPDATE:
So, I managed to upgrade to the official JB 4.1.2 this evening. Had to do it twice.
First time the boot got stuck at the AT&T logo and PC wouldn't detect the device. I followed the directions in another post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34682377&postcount=9 to repeat the upgrade and the same thing happened.
On a whim I decided to try rebooting a few times to see what would happen -- and it worked! Sort of...
I'm repeatedly rebooting the phone and sometimes it will start without problem. However, most of the time it gets stuck when the AT&T logo appears exactly where it should play the start up sound, except it freezes and the sound never plays.
I'm guessing that wiping the data before had nothing to do with fixing the problem and I was simply getting lucky on reboot.
I realize that this is a hard question without having the phone in hand -- but does this sound like a hardware issue?
Thanks again to everyone for their help.
Boot into recovery and factory reset from there. That should clear up the boot loop issue.

Just a quick note to let you know how this was resolved. I returned the phone to the seller who provided a full refund.
Thanks again to those who respondend.:highfive:
I think i did something stupid. Yesterday I decided to upgrade de modem/radio on my Note 3 running on ProBAM 1.3.3. I flashed CP-modem-NE6.tar. I was on CP_N9005XXUENC2.tar.md5 radio/modem with bootloader BL_N9005XXUEND6.tar. I was using the normal kernel which came with the rom.
After this update everything seemed to work okay. Until I decided to make a phonecall. Then my phone got hung up and I had to reboot. After the reboot the calling issue was not fixed. I tried flash back to my former radio/modem but that didn't work as well. Only mobile internet 3G/4G/HSDPA works and my phone has signal, but i cannot receive calls (i dont hear a ringtone) and make calls myself.
So I decided to make a full wipe of system, data, sdcard and start from scratch with a full Samsung Stock rom. I used this one: N9005XXUEND3_N9005PHNEND1_N9005XXUENC2_HOME.tar.md5. PHN is the CSC code for The Netherlands. The rom installs fine in Downloading Mode. After installing i went to the stock recovery and did a system reset/wipe and cleared the cache partition. Then the rom booted fine. What is strange is that i dont hear the standard bootsound during booting. For me this was a clue that something is not good. I still can't receive and make calls and my phone don't function anymore like it should. The sound buttons react very slow, camera doesn't work anymore. The samsung music app makes my phone to hang etc.
Has anyone have a clue on what can be wrong and how to correct it?

Short Story - Modem Should match the rest of the firmware. Flash the Stock NE6 Full rom which you pulled out the Modem from. Things should be back to normal. Made the Same Mistake with NE3. Dont flash and try to fix it in another way, You might lose the IMEI resulting in a visit to the Service Center.
P.S - Some "wannabe" will point out that this post needs to be in the Q&A Section soon.
Problem is that i only have that modem file CP-modem-NE6.tar and flashed that onto my existing rom. I don't even know which stock rom it was pulled from. To test I just flashed N9005DXUENE3_N9005OLCENE4_N9005DXUENE2_HOME.tar.md5 but nothing has changed about this problem. What is the next step?

Flashing NE3 wont solve your problem. Find the NE6. You might get lucky in samfirmware.com

Did you write only the modem or you also wrote NON-HLOS.bin? Also sometimes it is said that you also need to flash the corresponding RIL.
I wrote both files. First modem.bin and then took out the battery, replaced it and booted to download mode again and flashed non-hlos.bin and again pulled the battery, put it back and booted the rom.

Until you get on a NE6 firmware (Same version the Modem CP was pulled from), Nothing else will help. I went through this path. It was a headache Mate. However NE6 Firmware is not that bad. Just the uneasy feeling that It's not XX, but a DX.

Sorry Mate, Obviously didn't meant to hurt your feelings. It was a random thought which I dedicated to a few "certain users" who reply - "this should be in Q&A" without answering the poor soul's question.
Some time ago here in XDA, In a situation like this, First we see the answers, then a moderator silently moves this to Q&A and put up a warning to the bloke who made the mistake. Unfortunately nowadays, just as soon as people see the thread is in the wrong section, they just bark as if they suddenly turned blind to the problem OP is having. Mistakes are not made purposely, and obviously these are people who's new to forum.
I went through the same problem by jumping to the NE6 modem a few days ago. So I know how this agony feels.
Man kann die Natur nicht ändern.
No one can hurt my feelings in an Forum, so no prop
The point is, the Rules are sticked on top >
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46416908
So when i'm new on an Forum the first thing should be reading and respecting these.
I was Mod in an German Smartphone Forum (Handy-Faq) and i know it's an pain in the ass always remembering people to follow the rules and move unmatched stuff into the right sections. Mods usually don't get paid and doing this in her Freetime. They're trying to provide and clean Forum and this takes a lot of time, especially in such an huge Forum like XdA.
So it shouldn't be that hard to take the time and read at least the sticked Stuff, before posting...
Just think, you're coming home from work and open the Forum. The first thing you'll have to do is to go through the Threads and move this and that, simply because it's posted wrong or there's already an Thread about it. For Example there are meanwhile a couple of Threads about this Problem in Q&A. So I instead of helping people you used 30min or more to clean the Threads.

ZH Series is for Hongkong. Hong Kong N9005 is 16GB, so yeah It will not flash to the 32GB version.
Check the thread where you found the Modem from, The Link for the Rom will be there.
Stupid thing and together lucky is that i just flashed the NE4 radio and all seems to be back to normal again. Phone is again fast and everything seems to work again. Now I have to test with making calls.
Will report back later this evening.
