[Q] 4G/internet not working - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Hi,
My Samsung Galaxy 4G (SGH-T959V, Android 2.2.1 T959VUVKD1) has suddenly stopped connecting to the 4G (not even 2G or 3G) network. The 4G icon (that appears next to network signal icon) with the up and down arrows is gone. Upon hitting any webpage the browser displays a 'Web page not available' error. But home Wi-fi mode works fine. Also call features are just fine.
Troubleshooting:
I had a series of trouble shooting sessions with T-mobile support and nothing did work. Even the master reset option was performed twice. In store I tried switching the SIM card which also did not work. But if I switched my SIM to another phone, it works there. All other basic network settings are correct.
Manufacturer warranty expired a couple months ago . Hence replacement option is not possible.
Android log:
Installed an app to view android logs and found the below entries. Any inference?

Please let me know if anyone has faced this situation before and how to get this fixed.
Thanks.

Many ROMs have a reasonably well hidden option to enable/disable data. Where it is depends on the ROM.
The logcat is a great idea. Can you capture one shortly after you boot the phone? What I see there is the GPS likely trying to get orbital data, but that the network is down. The data there looks "good" as far as epc.tmobile.com goes, but no clues in the snippet as to what went wrong. Longer logcats can be put up on pastebin or the like (when you are sure there isn't any personal information in them) and a link posted here.
Edit: logcat -b radio - v time (or its equivalent in your app) may provide clues if making sure data is enabled does not resolve the problem.

Settings > network > enable data

Thanks for the reply. I have attached the logs. Second log is with option -b radio -v time.
Sorry, I am not sure of the ROM you are talking about. If it is about the android version, then it is Android Froyo 2.2.1.

arrrg.....mms cannot be had.

First off let me say ive searched this site high and low and tried almost every .cab ive found and followed plenty of setup instructions but still for the life of me cannot get MMS to work. email i get no problems sending texts i get no problems. but no MMS , and i think ive tried everything on this site.... im running Farias WM6 rom , and love it.
I had MMS working on the phone before i had to reflash beacuse i updated a radio rom and it almost bricked it.... so i followed all the instructions again just like usual and reflashed the downgrade rom and then upgraded to farias. I just dont remember what it was i did to get MMS working before
If someone could help me out it would be much appreciated.....
Maybe we could start a sticky entitled " How to get your MMS back after flashing "
Thanks in advance guys.
You have absolutely no MMS? You cannot receive or send MMS? Who's your carrier?

Yea , no MMS at all......
cant recieve or send.....
I had it working on the Faria rom before i had to reflash.....
all i keep getting is " error syncronizing " everytime i try to hit " send/recieve"
I had the same issue, go under the MMS settings, then goto server, select Cingular MMS or whoever your carrier is, mine wascingular, and then set it to the default and delete the one named default
If there is not other one besides deafault, then you need to ask your provider for your settings and add it.
hope this helps
This might be helpful to others , but i tried it still no worky for me.

Ah! This sorta illustrates the problem. I had mentioned that I couldn't seem to send MMS, although I *could* browse the web via GPRS.
Well...I spent some time on the phone with T-Mobile "PDA Support" and finally have this figured out! There's been talk here about using the two different APN's available to T-Mobile Internet customers for WAP and MMS versus regular website browsing.
When I spoke with T-Mobile PDA Support, I was told a few things:
1) they've had some network problems that aren't 100% resolved that could be messing up our ability to browse the net, consistently get EDGE speeds, or send MMS messages.
2) MMS is supposed to be sent over their WAP gateway, so for this, you should use "wap.voicestream.com" as your APN.
3) Web browsing for full HTML web pages is supposed to be done over their non-protocol-restricted internet gateway, so for this, you should specify "internet2.voicestream.com" as the APN.
I did some experimenting, and it seems that I cannot send MMS when I connect via "internet2.voicestream.com", and I cannot browse the web when I connect via "wap.voicestream.com". But, as the gentleman from T-Mobile PDA Support suggested, when I chose the APN appropriate to the task, I succeeded. I tried this several times with consistent results.
I think I saw some discussion here about manually selecting the GPRS connection each time so you get the right gateway. But with a bit of configuration work up front, you can make this work automatically. Here's how:
The essence of the solution is that you should have TWO different connection setting groups - one for Internet Browsing and email, and one for MMS. Then, you can have the first one automatically invoked when your application tries to connect to the Internet, and you can have the MMS application automatically select the second connection group when it's trying to send an MMS message.
So -- Most, if not all, of you have a connection group named "T-Mobile GPRS". To examine it, click on:
Start / Settings / Connections and then tap the Connections icon. With the Tasks tab selected, you should see two connection groups listed, along with three choices under each one for tasks you can perform.
Under the connection group named "T-Mobile GPRS", click "Manage existing connections" -- you should be on the "Modem" tab -- if not, select it now.
This page shows a table in which you can list various network connections that this connection group can use to send and receive data. Since it seems that the three APNs that we know about are special purpose (one for WAP/MMS, one for Internet, one for VPN), it does NOT make sense to mix them here and let WM5 try to figure out which is best to use -- you will wind up with inconsistent results (i.e., works sometimes, but not others, seemingly at random).
Instead, since this "T-Mobile GPRS" connection group is for Internet browsing, the one and only connection you want to specify here is one that will use the "internet2" APN.
But first, click on the "Proxy Settings" tab below, and just click the box labeled, "This network connects to the Internet", and make sure the other boxes on the pages are blank (no proxy server specified here!). When you're done, select the "Modem" tab again (you might have to minimize the keyboard display at the bottom to see the tabs).
If you don't have a data connection yet that uses the internet2 APN, you can click on "New", then give it a descriptive name (such as "Internet connection"), select "Cellular Line (GPRS)" as the modem, click "Next", and input "internet2.voicestream.com" as the APN, click "Next" again, leave the user name, password and domain all blank and click "finish".
Click "ok" at the top a couple of times and you should be done with the connection group that gets you to the Internet.
Now - we'll create a separate connection group for MMS:
Go back into "Start / Settings / Connections" and tap the "Connections" icon again. You're back at the "Connections" screen that lists your two most recently defined "connection groups" -- the top one should be "T-Mobile GPRS" since we just worked on it. Click on "Add a new modem connection". Even though this line appears under "T-Mobile GPRS", you'll actually be creating a new and separate connection group.
You'll see a screen entitled, "Make a New Connection". Give it a meaningful name -- I chose "WAP connection". Select "Cellular Line (GPRS)" as the modem, and click "Next". This time, under Access Point Name, specify "wap.voicestream.com". Click next and make sure on the "My Connection" screen that user, password and domain are blank, then click "Finish".
You will now have separate connection groups for Internet Access and for MMS tranmission.
The next step is what makes this work automatically. Close all the windows until you're at the "today" screen again. Click "Start" and then "Messaging". If you don't see "MMS" at the top left of the screen, click the "Menu" button at the lower right, click on "Switch Accounts" and select "MMS".
Click "Menu" again, and then click "MMS Configuration...". You'll see three tabs: "Preferences", "Servers" and "About".
The preferences tab has non-critical choices that you should set to meet your own needs.
On the Servers tab, you should see a single server listed, "T-Mobile MMS" -- this was installed by one of the T-Mobile customizations when you first booted up your MDA. Click on this , and you'll see a screen that details the configurat ion of this server. Here's what you want in the config:
Server Name: non-critical, T-Mobile named it, "T-Mobile MMS", so you should probably leave it at that.
Gateway: 216.155.165.50
Port Number: 8080
Server address: http://215.155.174.84/servlets/mms
...and HERE is where we tell it to automatically switch to our network connection that was set up for MMS:
Where it says, "Connect via:", the default that T-Mobile put in was your old "T-Mobile GPRS" connection. Instead, I clicked the drop-down arrow and selected the new connection that we created way up above that references the "wap.voicestream.com" APN, called something like "MMS Connection".
Sending size limitation as locked at 292k. WAP Version defaults to 2.0, but you can drop it down to 1.2 if you have some reason to do this (I don't).
Once this is all set right, click "OK", and "ok" your way back out of the messaging application.
Now you're ready for a test:
There are many way to initiate an MMS. However you do it, when it starts up, you should see it connecting to GPRS via your "MMS Connection", it will then send your MMS and disconnect from GPRS again after a bit.
Open up PIE again and select a website, and this time you'll see GPRS connecting via your first connection group -- the one that uses "internet2.voicestream.com" as the APN.
You can go back and forth several times -- this setup will select the correct network connection group each time, and work.
The ONLY issue I've seen with this is the following:
If your GPRS connection for one type of activity is still connected when you try launching the other service, it doesn't seem smart enough to force the old connection to disconnect first. So...if your old connection hasn't time out yet, you may have to click on the "G" icon (top of your today screen) and select "disconnect" before starting your other activity. But that's it -- aside from this, all the APN switching is automatic -- and works perfectly.

Ive tried it 2x already and no worky.......
and now im back to " error syncronizing "
*siigh*
Now its connecting up again , and it connects to (edge) Tmo MMS
but it gets to 66% sent on the status and i get
" next hop connection failed "
Someone just texed me and said " nice pic " so i guess it worked ??
not holding my breath just yet, but praying !
*sigh* *arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggg*
now its just connects and disconnects.........
Here are my settings tell me if something is wrong :
Under my MMS configuration ( found from the messaging menu )
Servers :
Sever name : T-mobile MMS
Gateway : 216.155.165.50
Port number : 8080
Sever Address : Http://215.155.174.84/servlets/mms
Connect VIA : T-mobile MMS
And
Settings > Connections > connections Icon
Tmobile MMS then under " manage existing connections "
Name : T-mobile MMS
Select a modem : Cellular line (GPRS)
Access Point name : wap.voicestream.com
Username : blank ( ive tried imputting tmobile in there and nothing still )
password: blank ( ive tried imputting tmobile in there and nothing still )
domain : blank
In the advanced tab under TCP/IP :" use server IP address is selected " and
nothing else is.
under servers on the advanced tab " use server-assigned addresses " is only selected.
any clues ?
back to the "Gateway+timeout" error.... sigh...
i dont know what the hell i did , but its sending messages now.........
still havent recieved one tho.
i think im gonna have to do a writeup tho.
Do you use wifi? When wifi is on my MMS doesn't work.
Did you ever figure out what was happening. I'm having a similar problem. As far as I can tell all the setting you listed above are correct, and I have mine set the same. When I try to send a message it hangs at 87% and never completes. Once it ran up to 99% then I got the "Gateway Timeout" error.
What version of the ARCSoft MMS client are you using?
I cannot get it to send or connect at all unless I use one of the CABs for the settings floating around - then it works, but that causes other NASTY side effects on WM6.
Just the one that came with the rom that I loaded, [02/Nov/2007] TNT.1933, ArcSoft 4.2.8.1 with plug-in and full features. The settings seem to connect, the message just won't complete sending.
I'm not able to get it to connect unless I use the T-Mobile CAB (manually configuring does NOT work) and that breaks data connections when on sync.

How to get the data working in the Epic 4g connected to boost mobile Version 0.85
I’m not responsible for any damage to your phone, this is for educational purposes only!! THIS IS FOR ADVANCED “FLASHERS” ONLY!!!
Hi this guide is to how to get the data working in the epic 4g that is ALREADY connected to Boost Mobile
Things that you will need
Samsung Epic 4g (root optional but HIGHLY recommended)
QPST 2.7 Build 323
QXDM Version 03.09.19
Boost mobile Incognito
Micro USB cable
CDMA Workshop 2.7
SPC-2700 Drivers XP 32bit Drivers (drivers for the Sanyo incognito, drivers uploaded)
Samsung Galaxy S Drivers
A hot girlfriend to cheer you up
What you will not need
An iPhone
To be discussing how to get the Epic connected to Boost Mobile
A wife
SPECIAL NOTES
Your old phone, the incognito, must had the internet\mms working before, make sure you had updated the profile and prl.
Other phones MAY BE ABLE TO WORK using this method, this guide will use the incognito because it’s a 3g phone and it’s really easy to extract needed info
If you are using other phones, MAKE SURE ITS A CDMA BOOST MOBILE Phone and 3G (evdo) ready. You will need the SPC\MSL of your older phone too
This guide includes basic info needed to have any CDMA phone 3g working in boost mobile, I know people with Evo’s, Fascinates, Eris in boost mobile…if the it’s a Verizon phone…the PRL needs to be changed to a Sprint one (latest one 03-18-11 is 60676)
FAQ
Why the Epic and not the iPhone 4?
Because is the hottest phone at the moment, Bad ESN epics can be bought really cheap, mine was $200 new in the box.
Why Boost Mobile and not Net10?
CDMA Boost Mobile runs on Sprint's Network, you will get the same 3g speeds, nice coverage, and its only $50 month with no contract. ( or lower with "shrinkage" enabled)
Will I get 4g free?
Short answer “no”..but you should Google around about this topic..you will be surprised.
Can I WIFI tether?
YES, but do not use the default MobileAP app, use "wireless tether for root" users, both the old and new version works.
What are the speeds?
Epic does not tell you if you are in a 3g or 1x network, both networks will show with a 3g symbol unless you have a modified ROM. 1x speeds are usually 0-200 kbps, 3g are 50-1400kbps here in South Florida
UPDATE 03-18-11
seems like people are getting 500kbps again in 3g...
Will updating to froyo, change ROMs, downgrading, and flashing to stock via Odin will have any effect???
YES, but so far you only have to change the MMS settings to the correct one (check step18), I have changed different ROMS, flashed back to stock via Odin without loosing my 3g settings..BUT flashing or upgrading your MODEM…WILL MOST LIKELY BREAK YOUR 3G
Ready...Fight
1. First you need to install the SPC-2700 drivers in your computer, download the zip folder and extract it in you desktop, inside the new extracted folder run setup.exe and select install and let it do its magic.
2. Connect your incognito to your computer and let all the drivers install, if you get the common error message about the drivers not been compatible with Windows XP let the drivers install anyway
3. Open CDMA Workshop 2.7 and select the COM port where the incognito is located and connect, in my case it was COM 13, if you don’t know which one is it, disconnect all your USB and Serial devices and try to connect one by one. When you find the correct one click “Read”
3.99 if you already know your SPC for the incognito skip steps 4 and 5, you can also call boost mobile and see if they give you your SPC, make a phony excuse like “hey I’m going to North Korea and I need my SPC of my phone just in case I want to use my incognito over there, thanks!!”
UPDATE!!!
IF you activate your incognito online on the very last step you will get your SPC, boost mobile gives it to you in case you need to manually activate your phone.
4.Go to the Memory tab and in the Memory / Eeprom section Read Address 0363:0000 with 65536 size, this will create a file so save it in your desktop
NOTE: you may be have to read it twice, a lot of times the phone will not respond, try again and again and again until you get a 64kb .bin file in your desktop, if it keeps to giving you a hard time, disconnect in CDMA WS and try again, or reboot both your computer and the phone and keep trying
5. Here comes the fun part, do you like the game “where is Waldo?”, if so then you are going to like “where is my 6 digit SPC”, open the bin file in notepad, you will see a bunch of strange digits, you are going to be looking for the only 6 digit number that is together. So maximize your notepad and start scrolling up and down, right and left.
6. Had Fun? Well fun is over.. Close everything and Open QXDM, Select Options, Communications and select your port number, and select ok. Select View, New, Common, Command Output. Now in the white command box located in the lower part of the program type the following commands:
spc YOUR6DIGITSPC
<ENTER>
requestnvitemread ds_mip_ss_user_prof
<ENTER>
You will get a bunch of data, it will start with the DIAG TX Item section, ignore this part and go down until you see the DIAG RX(check step 14 for an example) item section, select and copy this part to the end of the output to a notepad text file and save it as “sprint”
Now again in the command input box type
requestnvitemread ds_mip_ss_user_prof 1
<ENTER>
Do the same for the new output but save the notepad file as “boost”
7. Close everything, we almost done with the incognito, open QPST configuration go the Ports tab and add a new port, select your port number, if nothing shows up uncheck the “show serial….blah blah” box and it will show your port number, select it and add it, you will now see your COM port with your phone connected. If it’s disabled, enable the port.
8. Now start client “service programming”, select your active phone, Read from phone, input your spc, after its done, save to file, save in a safe place, preferably in your p0rn folder. Close everything and turn off your incognito and give one last kiss to it and put it away.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT EVER TURN ON YOUR PHONE AGAIN
10. Install the Samsung galaxy s drivers. Connect your Epic and dial ##8778#, it will send you to the ultra secret menu and select in both options MODEM, let your computer install the drivers and open CDMA workshop again.
11. Connect to new created port in CDMA workshop (go back to step 3 if you need help with this). Go to the security tab and in the Password section delete all the Fs and send 01F2030F5F678FF9 it will give you the epic’s SPC, write it down(make sure you select the “custom password” selection)
11. go back to the step 9
12,..ohh there isn’t one? Well lets continue. Close CDMA and open QPST, add the new port for the epic and start service programming, here you will open 2 new connections, the active phone and one offline “SURF6025-ZRF6000-A”
13. In the offline window open the incognito file saved earlier which should be saved in the you know what folder, for the online window read from your epic and send the SPC
14. Now lets find your HA and AAA keys for both your profiles so open the sprint and boost notepad files, Sprint’s HA and Boost’s HA and AAA are a 12 digit key, Sprint’s AAA is 32 digit key, if you look in the output data you got you will see 2 sections each with [0-15] lines, your keys are the very last 2 digits of each line. You will see something like this
This is “my” sprint data output
DIAG RX item:
index = 0
mn_ha_shared_secret_length = 0x06
mn_ha_shared_secret[0] = 0x12
mn_ha_shared_secret[1] = 0x34
mn_ha_shared_secret[2] = 0x64
mn_ha_shared_secret[3] = 0x45
mn_ha_shared_secret[4] = 0x45
mn_ha_shared_secret[5] = 0x78
mn_ha_shared_secret[6] = 0x00
mn_ha_shared_secret[7] = 0x00
mn_ha_shared_secret[8] = 0x00
mn_ha_shared_secret[9] = 0x00
mn_ha_shared_secret[10] = 0x00
mn_ha_shared_secret[11] = 0x00
mn_ha_shared_secret[12] = 0x00
mn_ha_shared_secret[13] = 0x00
mn_ha_shared_secret[14] = 0x00
mn_ha_shared_secret[15] = 0x00
mn_aaa_shared_secret_length = 0x10
mn_aaa_shared_secret[0] = 0xE8
mn_aaa_shared_secret[1] = 0x13
mn_aaa_shared_secret[2] = 0xE3
mn_aaa_shared_secret[3] = 0x80
mn_aaa_shared_secret[4] = 0x13
mn_aaa_shared_secret[5] = 0x15
mn_aaa_shared_secret[6] = 0xES
mn_aaa_shared_secret[7] = 0x78
mn_aaa_shared_secret[8] = 0x8D
mn_aaa_shared_secret[9] = 0xD4
mn_aaa_shared_secret[10] = 0x78
mn_aaa_shared_secret[11] = 0x0B
mn_aaa_shared_secret[12] = 0x45
mn_aaa_shared_secret[13] = 0x18
mn_aaa_shared_secret[14] = 0x88
mn_aaa_shared_secret[15] = 0x78
In this case “my” sprint ha key is 123464454578 and “my” aaa is E813E3801315ES788DD4780B45188878
ok now look and find yours, write it down and do the same for boost’s ha and aaa secret keys
15. With both windows open in QPST service programming start matching whats in the “M.IP” tab from the incognito file to the epic’s online one, you need to create a new profile and enable it, this new profile it’s the one that control’s your 1x boost mobile network and your NAI should be something like “[email protected]”, when entering the shared secret keys select “enter Hex value”, enter both the aaa and ha keys in both profiles, for the boost mobile primary address enter 0.0.0.0.
15.666 (thanks to ifuxwituz_)
You may want to try the following settings in the MIP and PPP config, if you are having problems
in M.IP settings for
profile 0 the NAI is MEID(DEC)@hcm.sprint.com
Example: [email protected]
home address: 0.0.0.0
primary ha address: 68.28.15.12
secondary HA address: 68.28.31.12
Profile 1
NAI [email protected]
home adress: 0.0.0.0
primary ha address: 255.255.255.255
secondary ha address: 0.0.0.0
PPP Config
Um settings:
tethered nai: boostmobile.com
user ID: [email protected]
check the 1xEVDO->1x box
AN settings
User ID: [email protected] (this is just an example you replace the 268****** number with your MEID(DEC) number
NOTE: in case you have a good ESN epic and you might want to backup your secret keys…once you change the keys..the default ones are going to be gone for EVER! To do this go back to step 6, the epic only has one profile.
16. in the PPP config tab, you need to also match both Um and AN users IDs. if the incognito files doesn’t have an ID listed, erase it from the epic too! (if you can't erase it, ctrl+d to "null" the box{thanks deekane})
17. When you are done, “write to phone”, epic will reboot and when its back online, your should now see the 3g arrows dancing, your might have to wait 10-15 minutes for it to appear, if it doesn’t go back to step 15 and make sure all info matches again
18. MMS works too!!! If you are in a eclair ROM (2.1) Dial ##3282#, edit and enter your epic’s spc, scroll down and on change the MMSC URL to “mm.myboostmobile.com” .
For Froyo Roms (2.2) check post #54, or open the “voice dialer” app, say “OPEN A P N” (try V, P, N or just A, P , N) and open the “Open APN” menu. Open “Sprint”, scroll down to the “mms proxy”, select it and erase what is there, now press the “menu” soft button in your epic and save. Restart your phone and now you can start sending funny pictures of cats!!!
Video, Pic, and Slideshow MMS works.
19. If you want to check you are connected to a 3g (EvDo) network, Dial *#info*1111# hit phone information then scroll down to see if you're connected to cdma1xrtt or evdo, you should see CDMA -EvDo rev. A in the "network type" (thanks zipxavier)
YOU MUST BE IN A EVDO AREA!!!!!
20. VOICE MAIL NOTIFICATIONS NOW WORKS, CHECK POST #2 for the apk!!! thanks m4f1050!! (do not update the apk or install it from the market)
EXTRA BONUS, TXT and VOICE:
ON the CDMA Tab in service programming, your Directory # should match your phone number..and the IMSI_S is your “MIN” number which boost mobile calls it something else I forgot, in case your text or voice doesn’t work..this is what you need to check first it matches.

About me:
I’m a “flasher”..but I don’t work for that, I only flash my family and friend’s phones because flashed phones are kinda “buggy” sometimes and any updates and modifications will have an impact on the phone..this is why I don’t flash phones of strangers or charge money....I’m an IT self-employed technician and I do charge money to repair their computers.. I have 1 year experience with flashing phones; my first phone was the HTC Pro 2 to metropcs..and lots of droid 1 to metro..

NV items 65-466 and 1192-1194? what info are you exactly looking for? NAI, ha, aaa keys?
this guide does not use the copy and paste NV items method...
try pulling your ha and aaa keys for both sprint and boostmobile profiles via qxdm, if you can, then thats pretty much the most important info that you need. you will be needing your rant's spc for that
check step 6 and 11 for more info..

*this is side tracked from what i posted above but, if you are NOT getting 3g evdo speeds make sure your donor is a 3G EVDO enabled phone like the OP stated. I am currently not getting 3G speeds on my phone because i used the Samsung mirro (dont ask why) as a donor and it is not 3G enabled so i will have to go purchase a Boostmobile Incognito now....(BLACKBERRY'S DO NOT WORK AS DONORS [at least from what i know])

once you break 3g... is there anyway you can get it back... i had flash few months ago... but didnt know if you modify you modem you will break your 3g... if you could help me with this i would really appreciated it
Does anyone know if this can be done on an Epic with a bad ESN? I'm using Midnight rom 2.7 EXT4 on Crickets 60.00 Plan. I am sick of dealing with Crickets ghetto trash reps!
The phone was purchased through craigslist and I've checked with sprint and it is a bad ESN phone. Since the phone will work on sprints network, will that block boost customers from using Bad ESN Sprint phones?
An answer would be great guys.

It doesn't matter what ESN is on your Epic because changing it to the ESN of the Incognito is a required part of the process that comes before this guide (getting the Epic to connect to Boost in the first place).

if you break the 3g in your epic..you need to redo the steps to get the right ha and aaa key again in your epic from the incognito.

I have the same problem..my wife's epic some days has great speeds but mine, which is right next to it, will have <200kpbs download speeds and VICE VERSA.
THIS DOESN'T NOT SEEM TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE PHONE
seems like sprint\boost is doing some network changes, especially if your area is currently rolling out 4g...
when will be solved?? i dont know
also, not only boost mobile users are having this problems..sprint users too..there is thread about it in the evo forums.
Thanks for your reply @Leviuqse,I guess I just have to wait it,would it make difference if 4g was already deployed yet in my area for speeds,and has anyone successfully found a 4g solution yet for boost Epic or Evo,just googling the topic brings you to alot of forums and ideas but no bypass tho,sorry if I am asking in the wrong area, im just really into my new phone

Wifi issue - constant reconnection

Hi,
It seems that my 1S have a wifi issue.
I can successfully connect to a wifi network, but every 2-3 sec signal is lost, then the wifi icon in the status bar disappears, then it reappears and reconnect and so on.
I am running an unlocked german tmobile (from ebay), SW version 1.77.111.5
Is someone else having the same issue?
I dont have a device which is in that connect-disconnect loop, but it does not hold onto the Wifi signal, it seems to want to fall back to using 3G/HSDPA if it can, and only after a few mins of data on the 3G/HSDPA connection does it attempt to connect to Wifi.
Does you Wifi AP broadcast its SSID? Are there many devices on the same Wifi channel as the one you are using? Use Wifi-Analyser to find out.

I'm having same issue - anyone found a solution.
It is really annoying, as quite often when I go to refresh email/facebook/twitter/ etc its says cannot update (or whatever app error), but if I wait a few moments again, it works. Really annoying when playing Draw Something, as it interrupts the game!
Any ideas - is it phone, or is it something on my router??

I was having this exact same issue. I went into settings, Wi-Fi, Menu, Advanced, and checked the "Best Wi-Fi performance" option and ever since I have had no problems.

Ok i think i had the same issue and i read in some threads around and you can try this:
1 - Connect to your wireless network but in settings disable DHCP and assign an manual IP (and you can disable the "best WiFi performance" because it drain lots of battery.
2 - Take out the SIM cover and pull up with care the contact pins for better connection with cover
Now i have a strong wifi signal without drops, before this i was thinking in return back my 1S but not now.
Sorry my bad English
If i help hit the "Thanks"

I decided to attempt this manual configuration as well...and it works great! Very fast login, and my network speed even seems quicker (although it probably isn't, but who knows)?
But I had a few problems along the way, but managed to fix them. Here is what you need to do:
First, before you do this, you need to use any network info app to see what your wifi router gateway is. You can pick an IP number based on that number... [Also, while it is unlikely anyone did this, you should confirm that the router doesn't do any MAC filtering (this just means the router will only connect with specific devices based on their wifi radio unique ID number... it's a overzealous way to prevent someone hacking your router and it prevents any non-authorized device from associating with it).]
Once you get that info, change the setting under wifi connect from DHCP to "Static", and below this, enter the gateway and a IP number based on your gateway... Most routers have NAT configurations that allow ~100 or 255 devices, like 192.68.X.2 thru 192.68.X.255 (or 10.1.X.2 thru 10.1.X.255) where the IP number where X=1 is typically the gateway. So just pick a number where the last number is between ~10 and 50 (just in case your router hasn't allotted the full 255 addresses). This is a good range to choose from because if your router has DHCP on (which is typical), your household probably does not have more than 10 or 11 devices connected at any given time....so you are picking an IP address at the end of this range.... So for instance, if your gateway is 192.68.1.1, pick a static IP address of 192.68.1.11 or 192.68.1.15.
Below this enter "24" for Network Prefix Length.
Below this, it has boxes for DNS servers. I ran into some problems here. I figured that since my wireless router has DNS servers already configured in its settings, I could skip this (it lets you hit connect without entering then). You can try this, and it may work (depending on your router/setup), but when I left them blank, I noticed frequent reconnections and no signal really at all.
In my case I had to enter DNS server addresses. I already had purchased an app called "Set DNS Pro" (there is a free version though) so I used that to select publicly available DNS servers. If you don't want to use the app, you can enter Google's DNS servers, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, or check with your ISP to use theirs (which they prefer because it is easier to keep track of or control your web browsing).
So my takeaway from this was that if you do not enter DNS, you might have problems.
Sent from my HTC One-S (rooted), stock ROM

Help request: LTE Data works,"no service" otherwise. IMEI/number, but no texts/calls.

Help request: LTE Data works,"no service" otherwise. IMEI/number, but no texts/calls.
Software: Android 5.0.1 Skydragon M8 v2.0 Sense 7
Many people have posted issues with LTE where their cellular signal was fine for "2G" functions like calls and texts.
I'm having the opposite problem. After leaving airplane mode (landing at an airport today), I have a "No Service" message in the status bar drop down (notification tray), and the Settings>Network information page shows "Not Registered." However, I do have an IMEI (see details below). However, LTE data works perfectly fine.
I've obviously tried changing the settings in Settings>Mobile Data (preferred network to Global / LTE / LTE/legacy 3GPP mode) connection type global/auto/LTE/etc), to no avail. If LTE is connected it works flawlessly, but I cannot make calls or texts, and show not registered on the network. Data roaming is set to deny, but even allowing roaming does not change the situation.
Before this happened, I HAD gone through all the XTended Settings, and even 'looked' at (but did NOT change) some advanced settings pages, including the 'hidden' HTC network info page ( *#*#4636#*#* ). Again, however, I didn't change anything -- unless by accident?!
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Anyone know if I may have inadvertently changed something and can change it back (a setting that would persist in the hardware through NANDROID restores and factory resets...). Or, any other advice to restore the cellular service connection to normal?
I've tried a full NANDROID restore (multiple times) to a working copy, and a factory reset. I have limited access to a PC since I'm traveling, so re-flashing the VZW firmware or stock recovery or lollipop/verizon RUU would be challenging.
I did spend a good 45 minutes (at a library, my only PC access!) searching the forums and web, but to no avail.
Settings information:
OPperator Name: Verizon
Signal Strength -114 (I've had better but still have the same issues)
Mobile Network type: LTE
Service state: In service
IMS service state: Not Registered
Roaming: Not Roaming
Phone Identity page:
IMEI shows up (15-digit number...how can I verify I didn't mess this up?)
Phone Number is correct
IP Address: 100.66..... (looks good)
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
Same here
I'm having the same issue. When i try to make a call my LTE bars drop to nothing and it says call failed no network available. Any ideas or help would be nice. I was using venom rom as well. I'm currently trying to flash the newest RRU to see if that resets things. I'm wondering if it somehow my sim card. I took it from my droid turbo. I've made sure to turn off advanced calling on my VZW account though.

I had this same issue, running from ruu then rooted. I didn't noticed until I started seeing voice mail notifications but never heard the phone ring. When I tried to dial out I got the immediate call lost message. I couldn't figure what was causing it so I just did a reset. I made sure not to restore any systems data from prior to the Lollipop upgrade. At this point everything is working, the only thing I haven't installed yet is the xposed framework and sense 6 toolbox.

What kind of reset did you do? I know my issue is slightly different, but I did a full RUU-flash yesterday (latest lollipop version) and still no luck. Unfortunately I'm out of the country now and access to a computer is limited, and I don't even have a SIM card yet to check if cellular service would work anyway.
I do intend to do a flash of the stock recovery and radios once I have the time and access, but that may be a while...
Still, I'll keep checking this thread to see if anyone posts any other options

Just go into settings and to Backup & Reset , this will return your phone to a fresh install and remove all non bundled apps.
Before doing the reset try going into Settings then Call then change Preferred Network to Global, or toggle from LTE then back to Global.

troubleshooting wifi tethering hotspot failure

I am trying and failing to get wifi tethering to work. I am using a Nokia 6.1 running android v9 on AT&T in the US.
I go through settings to the wifi hotspot page, toggle off to on, and nothing happens.
If I leave the wifi hotspot page and return to it, the toggle is off again (I expect it to remain on). I never see the hotspot network name on my other wifi devices (I expect to be able to see and connect to the network).
I have seen some pages about APN settings being the problem, especially missing dun from apntype. I have tried a few different ones, without effect. My current apntype=default,mms,supl,dun.
I have looked at `adb logcat` while enabling the hotspot. There is nothing obvious in the log about the connection failing. I'm not sure what I'd be looking for, though.
Tethering did work on my previous phone (Moto G5) on AT&T on the same plan and in the same place. I don't have access to that phone now, though, to test what else might have changed.
How can I troubleshoot this issue and get wifi tethering working?

You can try adb shell ip a sh command.
From the output you have to see youre WIFI interfase with the assigned IP.
For example on my phone, with hotspot activated the output is:
Code:
