Running OpenSensation ROM 20120621 (CM9) and Bricked kernel 3.0.36 and experienced a weird problem yesterday while roaming. The device shut down itself several times.
What happend:
I have a german SIM card (Vodafone) and went on a shopping trip to France. As I have a 100 MB data roaming option on my contract, I wanted to try this out. So I enabled data roaming in the system settings and waited.
Nothing happend. I opened browser and got no connect. I went back to settings and enabled "national data roaming" too. Now I finally got a data connection and was happy and went back to shopping.
10 minutes later I looked at the Sensation again and saw that it was powered off. I booted it and opened browser and after a couple of seconds the device went off again. No error message, nothing. I tried this some times more, same result. So I disabled data roaming again.
In the evening back in my own country without roaming I was very astonished to see that the device still shut itself down when doing some data transfer. I went to settings and saw that I still had "national data roaming" enabled. I disabled it and finally everything was normal again.
Did anyone experience the same? What's wrong?

Hello all. It seems as though I've come across a pretty serious issue with my Dash 3G. I have been using Ookba's 3VOLUTION ROMs for some time now and over the weekend, my phone suddenly stopped being able to make/receive any calls. I re-flashed the phone to the latest 3VOLUTION ROM (04/10/10 build) and it hasn't fixed the issue. I've put the SIM into another phone and it works perfectly, so I know it's not a bad SIM card. I don't know of any software settings that can persist like this (after a ROM flash). Furthermore, why it happened suddenly is totally beyond me. Does anyone have any suggestions I can try? This is terrible timing as I just had a job interview and I need to keep my "ears open" for a possible callback.
Thanks guys!
Bump - anyone have any suggestions?
I have the same problem. I switched from my personal SIM to my work SIM (another provider) and now it looses the service contact after a few minutes.
I realized this happens when I have the data connection on and the GPS on at the same time. This happened to me the first few days with the original ROM too when I first got the phone. So when I use google maps or evernote with gps, the phone service shuts down. Weird.
Mine is the Ozone by VZW (CDMA) but after it was flashed to the 3VO ROM on WM6.5, I got errors on the GSM side when using the T-Mo prepaid Sim, data connection was turning itself off so I couldn't even access T-zone (which was working just fine earlier, already unlocked & running 6.5)
Took me a while to check, goggle & search - realized that some of the GRPRS & Proxy settings were locked by default to the VZW embedded Sim, and had to go into Connections & under Advanced (Menu - Right Soft Key)
to change it. Sort of tricky since the wap, mms & other settings were all set properly but it was easy once I changed it to T-Mo's proxy & WAP names as created. Same for using AT&T's MEdiaNet, as otherwise, as soon as the GSM network was found, data connection was turned off.
Take a look at yours and check the various Menus & Settings screen to see if it might've been reset to default, etc. etc.
Anyone Figure This Out?
Just happened to me this weekend (T-Mo Dash 3G). Simply stopped connecting to the network for voice or data. Worked fine on Saturday but dead Tuesday morning. Also running 3VOlution ROM. I called T-Mobile and we played with network settings, etc. but no luck. Tried a hard reset and that was no help.
Reset and rebooted countless times after changing any setting I could think of. Hopefully someone has figured this out or it looks like I'll be buying a new phone tonight.
Bad SIM ...

Was a bad SIM. I swapped mine for my wife's and the no signal followed my SIM. Dropped by T-Mobile this morning on the way to work and they gave me a new one free, no questions asked. Phone's back to normal.
I have double and triple checked the APN settings. No luck. I feel like a complete retard, but why cant this phone connect to the network?
It doesn't even appear to try. Any suggestions?
I haven't a clue why, but I've been told multiple times that the infuse won't be able to connect to Tmobile data services in any manner.
I'm in the same boat, when did you notice this? I ask because mine just started doing this yesterday. Here's a brief synopsis of what I've done:
- I was running stock GB 2.3.6, from the Heimdall One-Click...had no issues for weeks (only had it a few weeks); once I realized that I can't get anything higher than EDGE speeds due to the hardware requirements, I went ahead and purchased the GN. So, my neighbor told me that she went to T-Mo (same phone) and the gentlemen 'input some codes' etc etc and she now had 3G (can't verify, I didn't grab her phone). I had an idea that he went into the phone testing mode (by doing the *#*#INFO#*#*) and maybe changed some of the network settings in there. So I figured I would give it a shot before I put it up for sale since my GN was coming today. So I went in and tried a few things, all to no avail....and then realized that I had NO data at all.
So at this point I did a factory reset (no luck), flashed the firmware/modem/etc from the Heimdall one-click, reset the APN settings (multiple times)....everything that I know to do with it....and STILL no data. But I can place calls, get texts, etc with no issue.
What's strange is after I flashed the stock GB rom, I went back into the testing mode (I guess that's what you call it???) and was checking a few things:
- if I run the ping test, it comes back null (no surprise) BUT it also lists 'GSM Service: In Service' and 'Network Type: EDGE'...it does show GPRS as disconnected.
I tried my SIM in an unlocked iPhone and it didn't have data connection. But I also put my roommates T-Mo SIM in the Infuse and it didn't have data either. I haven't had a chance to see if my SIM works (data wise) in the GN, because I haven't gotten it yet.
Any ideas on what to do?
**EDIT**
For some reason the data began to work about an hour after I posted this. Maybe the phone knew I was asking the experts and it had no where to hide?? Either way The_Joe I would try to maybe do a factory reset and if that doesn't work, to try to re-install the ROM/OS again.
Hey guys, quick background. I bricked my SGS3 and had to have it replaced. I think I got a refurb phone because from day one I keep having the same issue. First day I got the replacement phone I rooted it and flashed CleanROM 5.0. Everything was peachy until I noticed that I have no 4G or 3G service. In fact, I had no data connectivity at all. My phone can make calls, receive texts no problem, won't connect to internet. If I restart the phone, I have 4G right away. After a few minutes, the 4G icon is on, but the phone won't has no data connection (when I say data connection I mean it will not go online, no internet, no android market, still have voice and txts). If I attempt to go on internet, I get a message saying "No Signal Found For Mobile Networks". I have installed Network Signal Info and right after a restart it says 4G LTE, data connected, upload+download activity. After a few minutes, it says 4G LTE, data connected, after a little while, it will switch to EHRPD, with data "connecting". Also, in the System tab, it will tell me my IEMI and version of JB running, next to "Radio", it says "unknow". WiFi works perfectly btw. My IEMI is perfectly fine,
I had it backed up. My phone number is still there.
Here is what I had tried so far: Switching into and out of Airplane mode, different programs that reset mobile connection, flashed different custom ROMs, flashed the stock kernel, flashed 3 or 4 verizon Modems, Data wipe, cache, Dalvik wipe, Odin'ed back to stock 4.0.1 ICS and had upgraded it to 4.1.1 via verizon software update, changed the SIM card, and reprovisioned the phone with that *3767*whatever the hell code. I'm out ideas.
If anyone has any other idea that I can try before I take it back to Verizon, please, let me know.

Did you go into your mobile data settings to make sure you're on CDMA/LTE? If not I would select and reboot the phone and see if the problem persists. I don't know if you have tried this but it's worth a shot.
I'm having literally the same exact problem with my mom's S3 except for it's not rooted, complete with 'download + upload activity' and 'unknown' radio. I've yet to find anything in my search, but if I do I'll post it here.

I did try that. Nothing seems to be working.
As stated I'm using the LG G5 H830 T-Mobile variant. I am getting 4G LTE data connection and everything runs well (Not in any WiFi range) Yet for SMS and calling as well as mobile hotspot I get "No USIM card' error. This happened after wiping the system and formatting data. Rebooted recovery (as per instructions on forum) then installed the stock firmware & Patch with systemless root and xposed. After this I did factor reset when just pulling the sim didn't help. Still nothing. I reflashed just the stock firmware with TWRP and SuperSU and issue is still happening. I've disabled rebooted and enabled the phone radio. SIM is in good condition and tray as well everything is SECURE and should be good to go.
I'm assuming a new SIM might be a solution. But I'm not counting on it and with Labor Day tomorrow for me I wouldn't be able to pick one up for 2 days. So here I am...hoping someone might have a fix. I know I don't have many posts on here. But I am an experienced user....just not with the more basic of problems I guess
Thanks!!
Has anyone else experienced this yet? I'm just curious...I had it fixed for a couple days. I've formatted data and done complete system wipe. Tried it resetting phone with the COMPLETE zip and TOT using LGUP. I'm receiving texts. Not calls. Not able to send either. I've activated new sim, didn't help. LG support just told me to look into warranty. T-Mobile needless to say just wanted. Sim card does show stock tmobile short code contacts but phone number shows as unknown. Hotspot won't work. I've tried setting the phone number to the sim. Nothing.
Anyways. I don't think I messed with anything, even so I've done everything to start the phone from scratch. Going to replace it, just more or less curious at this point and maybe others have had the same issue.
I believe I had the same issue as you and it was driving me crazy. I was constantly wiping data, system, etc but my phone kept giving the message "roaming indicator off" where it should show the name of the carrier. This resulted in me having LTE data and that's it- no 3g, no phone calls, etc. I couldn't even access the mobile network menu.
What ended up causing the issue was the network mode setting under wireless networks. Keep in mind at this point I'm running a patched rom which now gives more options in the network mode menu than the phone came factory with. I have an area at work where I have to switch to 3g, GSM/wcdma preferred network setting, because although I have full LTE signal, my connection goes dead. When switching back from 3g I chose the setting lte/CDMA thinking this would force my phone to stay in lte mode due to another area on an upper floor where the phone will constantly drop lte.
Anyways this resulted in my phone saying roaming indicator unavailable, the inability to make or receive phone calls, and either the mobile networks or network mode menus being grayed out. When stuck in this mode there is no way to put the phone back into the standard "GSM/wcdma/lte" mode. Even a complete reflash won't fix it. I even used lgup, which worked for maybe a day until it force closed the phone app and went back to roaming indicator unavail. I wiped every partition and even reflashed radio firmware. Nothing worked.
What ended up fixing it was using an app called v10 hidden settings which allowed me to access the network mode menu directly and re-choose the lte/wcdma/GSM setting. Incidentally on first access to this menu through the app there are only two network settings available. Once you choose a GSM setting, the rest appear.
I'm not sure if this was your issue but I hoped this helped because this took me about a week to workout.
So I 'sideloaded' LineageOs on my stock OPO the other day with the current TWRP, and have not had mobile data since. I have searched around a bit and found on the OPX that they have a fastboot flashable bootloader that fixes the issue there. Do we have anything like that here that doesn't involve going back to stock? Or does anyone know a fix for this issue?
used adb sideload to install TWRP.
Then used sideload to install lineage and nano gapps in TWRP.
Went a day without realizing I had no data.
Started toggling airplane mode. Redid apn that was already there. Reboots etc.
Searched around on xda.
Downloaded and flashed most recent c7 modem.
Searched around on xda.
Making this post.
Thanks for any help.
Looks like I got it fixed. Through my searching I saw where peeps are able to stick in another sim and get data to work. So I decided to call ATT gophone.
Turned off wifi.
Turned off cellular data.
Went to APN and changed the apn (ATT Go Phone) from pta to nxtgenphone.
Turned on cellular data.
Finally had H+ above he signal bar, but had an X inside the bar.
Don't know if he did anything on his end, but the X went away after a couple of minutes.
Data was working, albeit kinda slow.
Turned off phone for three minutes per ATT rep.
Rebooted.
Data still slow, but it is at least working. Thinking I need to flash different modem. Battery usage has been higher the last day or two since I flashed c7 anyways.
Thank you
This worked for my Honor5x l22 version with an Att gophone sim card. Im forever in debt.
Thanks! This msolved the problem for me.
I installed (and reinstalled) LineageOS on my Note 3 and nothing could fix mobile data. This post saved the day.
I had to do one more change:
APN type -> default,mms,supl,hipri

Another related problem and solution.
Whenever I switched on WiFi mobile data would turn off. Then when WiFi disconnects, Mobile Data never came back. Turning it back required turning on & off Airplane Mode or restart.
What fixed it:
- Go to developer option and select "mobile data always active"
- I also selected "Aggressive Wi-Fi to Cellular handover". Don't know if this option helps with this problem but I have it on (remnant of trial & error).
(I know it's an old thread but recording it here so that someone else benefits as I did.)
