Hi,
My Nexus S is having a strange issue that when turn the phone on it picks up that I'm on Orange UK but from then on it says emergecy calls only or no service but shows signal in the status bar. If I try and call someone I get no mobile network messages but I can get a data connection and use the Internet although very slowy. Strangest thing is that if I put no sim card in the status bar still shows signal.
I've tried different radios and tried both Offical stock 2.3.4 and CM7 7.1.0 but same results, I've also tried turning 3g off but I'm now out of ideas so can anyone give me some tips please?
Thanks
Can you give specifics? Phone model, Baseband version (found in Settings >> About phone). Not all radios are the same and you can end up bricking the phone flashing wrong radio version.

You cant brick your phone flashing the wrong radio....youll just have to have the correct radio as a back up. I flashed every radio for the nexus s and its not bricked.
Anyway, the standard radio the i9020a comes with is the UCKF1 or KB3 as I have heard. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884 is where you will find the radios. Just flash the correct one. How you will know whats the correct one is it will be stated after the phone model. for example I9020AUCKF1 the A after I9020 is for the carrier ATT and after the thats the radio it came with. just reflash the correct radio through CWM and you should be ok. If not PM and I will help you further

Flashing I9023 radio on I9020 will brick the phone as it may not even boot into recovery, fastboot may not work too. Just a word of caution.

Sorry I should have said I have i9023 and have tried kf1 kd1 and jk8 radios all with the same results so far.

What the next step would be is to try a new sim card. Go to your carrier and ask for a new one. If same results then its the phone and I'll assist you more.
Don't forget the thanks button.

Managed to borrow someones sim card at work today and it was the same result so it does seem to be a hardware problem now.

Yes. That would seem to me like the problem. I'm sure you restored your phone and completely wiped the SD? Also did you try pulling out the battery while the phone was on wait 30 seconds try turning the phone with out the battery then put the battery back in and turn it on? I'm sure you have done that you seem like a decently tech savvy fellow.
I've called Samsung before and I hate to say it but their repair policy is horrendous. You'll need another phone cause you'll be without yours for 2-4 weeks. They want to send "you your original phone back." Even their battery exchange is the same. You send your bad battery to them. They receive it process it then send you a new one. Motorola and apple have their repair department to be easy and quick which is what the consumer wants. More so apple cause you can go right to the local store and get a new one in 10 minutes. Motorola takes 2 days. Better than Samsung still.
Thats it for my rant! Just wanted to give you a heads up of what you will hear. Hope it all works out.

yea, try flashing a CDMA radio on a GSM phone and see how that works out for you!
edit: actually, this sounds exactly like the ns4g i bought the other day. try making an emergency call and see what happens. really, that's how i fixed mine.

Well I dont think some one is that dumb to flash a CDMA for a GSM......if you are, you should stick to the iphone
Well it looks like I'm taking a trip to a service centre today let's hope it doesn't cost me too much to repair.

I've had a similar issue in the past. Restoring my EFS made it work again.
But before that issue, I also had another problem where no amount of radio flashing and EFS fiddling would fix it. Sent it to Samsung and it came back with a form with a hand written note saying "BGA failure".
So I imagine this problem is more common than it might seem. *shrugs*
Restoring the EFS would have been one of my first moves but I was given the phone in this state with no backups made.
Just crossing my fingers that Samsung doesn't charge me a king's ransom to repair it.

Hi all,
just bought an Inspire off CL, and unfortunately didn't reallize that the screen won't rotate. I trired recalibrating, but it kept being aborted even though I put the phone flat on the table on its back. A search turned up tons of complaints from about a year ago with few resolutions, and none worked for me (reboot, recalibrate, kill all apps with adv task killer, switch sim card, etc.)
So the big question is, would rooting the phone and flash custom rom solve the problem? Has anyone solved the problem with the g-sensor?
Sent from my NookColor using Tapatalk
Is the phone rooted? Some roms have customizations to lock the screen and keep it from rotating. Do any screens rotate? Or is the home screen just not rotating?
Try going to home> settings> display and check auto rotate screen.

Auto-rotate is checked. Apps the should rotate (e.g. Google search, email) don't rotate, and most frustrating is that games that use the g-sensor just won't work. The phone is running stock Gb 2.3.3.

If not rooted I would root and try a custom rom would hurt nothing. But make sure you use Ace Hack Kit and no out of XDA method. Also read, read, then read the Effen manual and make sure your knowledged on the steps for rooting. If you get stuck anywhere there is an IRC chat connection in the Ace Hack Kit page.
The thing about buying used phones from someone else is like buying a used car. Your basically buying some elses headache.
The other option would be to return to seller for money back, your option.
PS: If you decide to try out a ICS ROM remember that the kernels are not fully released as of yet so some games will not fully work and do have a few bugs depending on how it reacts with your phone. For gingerbread I would try a few out and see which one you like.
(Absolution 3.7 , Coredroid 9.4) lol my preference but thats a can a worms you dont want to open here on XDA by asking which is best ROM so dont.
Welcome and Enjoy the learning.
Ok, so all the reading made the rooting process seem somewhat intimidating. However, when I actually screwed up the courage to do it, it was like, that's it? It's donde in under 5 minutes, and I hardly did anything!
So the good news is that the phone is now rooted and flashed with coredroid (looks nice!). The bad news is that there's no change in the problem with the g-sensor! I'm starting to suspect that it's more likely hardware. In any case, I wonder if there are any Roms that might have a better shot at fixing the problem? Somehow I have the probably wrong impression that a custom rom that's modded from stock aren't likely to fix my problem... Any suggestions?

Yeah, if you had a sensor problem before the root and it persists after, it is more then likely a hardware issue and no amount of rooting/flashing a new ROM is gonna fix it. If you're under warranty, unroot and send it back for a replacement.

Did you look in setting for rotation display settings. Some launchers like adw launcher lets you also check and uncheck rotation angles. All roms are great in their own way, try a few on for size but I would give them each at least a week or two of testing. A day or two is not really enough to get the feel of them. You can try Absolution 3.7 , Redemption Alpha 6 (ICS) , or even go over to the Desire HD Dev section and try out - Ice Cold Sandwich 7.2 (ICS) (also dont forget to flash inspirmod as well with this one). Also these three will get rid of the stock look.
Good Luck
The phone was bought off craigslist, so no hope of return or warranty. Rotate sreen in settings has been checked, as well as g-sensor calibration (which invariably ends in abort, even after rooting and flashing coredroid. I might try absolution in a few days.
The phone is for my son, and he cares a lot more whether the accelerometer works (for games) than how nice the rom looks.
One problem I found after flashing coredroid is that even at boot up tbe email app keep crashing (without me opening the app). Anyone knows whats up with this?

Did you do a full wipe (factory, cache partition, dalvik) before flashing rom. Coredroid has a zip called full wipe 1.5 as well.
I flashed absolution, and it didn't help with the g-sensor problem at all. I put coredroid back, this time wiping data and cache, and the email problem went away. I guess my son will have to live with the g-sensor as is. Thanks to everyone who replied for the suggestions.

Found on a few occasions I put the device into Airplane mode to conserve battery life but when I went to exit Airplane Mode, the device stays stuck in Airplane Mode.
Turning off the device and rebooting the device works ok.
Has anybody noticed this behavior?
Should I try something else to toggle Airplane mode ON/OFF?
I've been battling with my HOX losing signal completely (0 bars, just the small "x") and not able to reacquire the signal until I either toggle airplane mode or reboot it. Seems to be entirely random. Going to try and hard reset once and if that doesn't resolve it I'll swap it out for another one.
Dose it randomly happen anywhere or only in certain places?

Seems to happen randomly everywhere I am. While researching this issue, I came across this post over on androidcentral: http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-one-x/171872-htc-one-x-att-version-bugs-thread.html#post1762071
It describes my issues almost exactly. Seems like AT&T didn't do enough QA with some of these. If there isn't a patch/update soon, I'll most likely go swap it out for another one and hope it performs better.

dont swap since your possibly returning your htc one x cause of the locked boot loader. Let someone else enjoy a brand new hox.

HTC One X stuck on Airplane Mode
Hey guys..
ok.. this is my first time posting on here, so i'm not sure exactly how this works..
2 days ago.. my HOX suddenly lost it's signal, (small x next to the bars), and hasn't regained it yet. Attached is a screen shot of the settings screen, showing that the airplane mode is 'turning off', but the thing is, that's all I get.. it won't turn off.. it's as if it's on, and the device can't turn it off.. I tried everything from resetting to doing a restore factory settings.. nothing.. it's stuck like this.
The thing is, I live in Egypt, and I bought this mobile online from the UK.. if I were to take it to the shop here, I would lose my warranty. I need to be sure exactly what I'm dealing with, so if I need to, I send it back to the UK and incurr the shipment fees. If it's a minor hardware problem, I'll just void the warranty and fix it here.
The device is running the original Sense 4.1.. I did not flash any ROM's.
Appreciate your response!

Firstly we need to make sure we're talking about the right device. Go to the bootloader and tell us what it says.
To get to the bootloader do this: hold power button and volume down button together, the button lights will start blinking, when the lights stop blinking and the screen turns off, let go of power but keep holding volume down until it reaches bootloader. Now tell us what it says.
Also, have you modified the phone in any way? Is your bootloader locked or unlocked? Are you rooted? Do you have s-off or s-on?

(i almost wish i stayed on stock gingerbread. smh) I dont really want to flash The RUU again to see if it fixes it because i dont want to go through the process or rooting again.
O yeah it not a death grip issue either. i tryed putting my phone on the same table as my wireless N router and it still does it...

You can change your data connection . Example my device always wants to go to edge, which is really slow so I lock on to wcma only which is 4 g. You can try the different connections by going to #*#*4636*#*# it will bring you to a menu you press phone information, then press your current connection and another menu will come up with available connections, pick the one you want and scroll down to refresh . I'm not sure this will do the trick but if you have any available connections you can hook up this way. It depends what's available in your area .I was going crazy with my device always going to edge so Iocked onto 4 g this way. It works for me. I do hope it helps. Are you rooted and running custom Rom? If you are and this method does not work perhaps try a different radio? Best of luck hope this helps some

yeah that still didnt work.. and this is really troubling me.. i posted in the opensensation thread..
I had the same problem with roms based of CM9. The only solution is to back up everything (titanium backup helps with backing up apps), wipe and re-flash.
No need for wipe.
Just re-flash the current ROM. You will have to apply all your Mods again, but the rest of the data will remain fine.
