So recently in our area cellular services are blocked from time to time due to security measures. Now the really annoying thing is that my phone does not automatically catch signals when the service is back and when I reboot they are back. I have tried switching back and forth from airplane mode but to no avail it just needs a reboot. Infact yesterday when the services were back my data connection started working but there were no signals in the status bar and I couldnt make a call.
What could be the problem? I am running rooted stock rom 4.1.2 with matrix kernel. Or is this possibly a problem with the cellular company?
What version nexus s do you have? What radio is running?

Its the i9023. Radio I dont know but I have never fiddled with this stuff so I suppose its stock radio. Only think I have done is root and custom kernel.
I used to have this problem, wanna know what happenned? My NS died (hard brick).
Most likely won't happen to yours.
The solution might be to flash a new radio that is compatible with the i9023. Radio's can alter your network performance and signal quality. If you're interested, here is a thread with different radio's:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884. Remember to always backup before flashing, and you can revert to your old radio by flashing it. To check your current radio, go to setting-->about phone, and look for baseband version.
An alternative is to try to flash a new rom, if you dont want to flash a radio.
Another alternative is a factory reset.
BUT, there is a possibility that our phones are designed like that, and none of these solutions will work.
Good luck! keep me updated
I have the KI1 radio. Well I asked a friend with an Iphone 4 and he says it "sometimes" happens with his phone as well so I suppose it's not something completely abnormal.
I don't actually have any signal problem apart from this issue. I never have to restart phone to get signals unless this specific timed ban on cellular services happen, I don't lose signals with some regular very short problem with network. I suppose it's just better to live with it than flashing new radios?
I might flash a custom rom soon so the factory reset solution will be tested then.
Did your Nexus S just randomly died? How do you suppose it had something to do with this problem?

I don't think it has to do with the problem, but i never found a solution because it died. Let me know how the new rom goes!

Btw there was also another problem that I didnt mention. Sometimes my phone refuses to turn on data connection and it only comes back with a reboot. This ONLY happens very rarely when I switch from wifi to data and never happens after data connection has started.
Did you have this problem? I just switched to CM10 yesterday and it has once happened so far but its not related to the ROM since it very rarely happened before as well.
I actually did have this problem! With my old ns. How long have you had this phone?

Its about 6 months old. I am experiencing this problem more whenever wifi is on for an extended period, so far I have had it 3 times with CM10.
I went back and forth to airplane mode and it started working so atleast didnt need to reboot.
I think this could be a 4.1.2 problem for me as I dont remember this happening previously.
Maybe try an ICS ROM?

I have tried 3 different versions of the Cyanogen mod on my Hero over the last few days and I can't get my data to stay on 3g. I'm staying in the same areas I've always used my phone and I never had problems before. Luckily I can stay on wireless most of the day, but 1x is driving me nuts.
Radio version is 2.42.01.04.27
Any suggestions? My last thoughts are to go back to stock and hope I get my 3g back...

Maybe you need to update your PRL?
As far as I know, the only way to do that is to flash a Sense ROM, go in to the settings (Under phone info, I believe), and do a PRL update. Then you can flash back to CM6.1 and see if it worked?
You can also try flashing different radios to see which gives the best signal for your area, but that has a slight chance of bricking your phone, so... Be careful?

PRL might be it. I doubt a different radio would help. I've not had any problems with the newest radio and I've been running on it for a while. I'm beginning to wonder if it's a problem with turning off wifi. If I restart the phone I can start and stay on 3g. But, if I change to wifi then switch back 3g doesn't return probably 90% of the time. Disabling and re-enabling data doesn't help either.

I don't really look at the data notification in the status bar but there have been instances where I have noticed that reads 1x. Mine seems to switch and like the OP said I am in all the same areas prior to the 6.1 update. I am using the same radio and PRL list as prior to the 6.1 update. I also have my wife turned off and never really turn it on. So this leads me to think that 1 either in some cases there is a problem with the data maintaining its 3G connection or 3G was busted prior to 6.1 and is now reading accurately...though I do not think that is the case since my sister has the same phone and is running sense and she is not losing 3G
Just out of curiosity, could this explain my poor batter life, I am only getting maybe 5hrs and that is with little to no use.
I had the same problem going to the Nov2 build of the blackmod, 3G dead, nothing worked to fix it short of flashing over to a stock build and do the re-provisioning via the #*# code. After that I totally wiped the phone and installed the new CM6.1 build and all is well.

Cyanogen 6.1 no 3G, After Using Wireless
I also noticed no 3G on 6.1. If I used wireless (802.11 to router), the 3G connection would be dropped, as expected and desired. Upon turning off wireless, the 3G connection would not be reconnected. This was not a problem with ADW not updating. All network apps reported no connection. After a reboot, the 3G connection was restored, until wireless was enabled.
I'm unable to get a data connection with any 2.2 Rom no matter what I try. I have this problem not only with CM 6 and 6.1 but also with AOSP which till the problem started I'd been running everyday since I rooted my phone in September.
Been running Liquid for about four days and haven't had any problems.

And I thought I was going crazy! The last week I have been having TERRIBLE luck with my 3G connection with the latest builds, Tried the newest RC,,,,Themed froyos, AOSP, ETC, and kept having issues so finally said screw it and I'm back to 2.1 for a while, Atleast for a week or so till some more bugs are worked out! Anyone know any reason why this all of a sudden popped up after three months of builds???

CyanogenMod-6.0.0-Heroc Works
Just to be clear, it was the 6.1 RC1 that gave me the problem with returning to 3G after using wireless.
6.0.0-Heroc works fine.
I've been using my Rogers HOX ever since it came out but always had random data drops. Tried all kinds of radios (with or without RIL) and all kinds of roms and the issue is still there. Losing data is not the biggest issue but it also drops the battery real quick because it keeps trying to connect.
Anybody ever find a solution to this?
I'm using the HOX on Straight Talk and lately I have noticed that when I have WiFi on for a while, assuming it stays connected, I lose mobile data. The only thing that bring it back is toggling airplane mode or rebooting the phone.
I am on Jellybean, and I am not sure if the issue was present in the stock ROM's.
Yep still having the same problem on AT&T with every combination of Kernel/ROM/Radio you can think of. I can also say that it isn't a "rooted only" problem because a coworker is having the same issues on 100% stock software. There's always that ONE THING that keeps my phone experiences from being perfect. Grrrrrrrr........

Stock 2.20 on Straight Talk. Have to toggle Airplane occasionally. Especially in North Little Rock. ::shrugs::
OP, have you restored your stock setup to see if the issue persists? Basic question, but for the sake of a starting point.
After so long, finaly found the problem. I don't know if it'll be the same for everyone but the problem was Swiftkey keyboard. The moment I uninstalled it, the problem did not reoccur.
I have the same problem and I can assure you its not the phone, I have used many android phones, iPhones, and regular phones on rogers 3G network and they all have the data drops in general like dropping to 1 bar and no service once and while.
You might want to switch your network to wcdma/gsm instead of wcdma/gsm/LTE. If you dont have the correct APN for the rogers lte network it will keep searching for the lte nrtwork causing the data drop. As soon as I turned my lte toggle off the network stopped dropping randomly though I still get those random data drops caused by the network

We had this issue with the rezound, it actually occurred because you flashed different radios.
You had to flash a ruu or a modified one without the system image. See my SIG
So try flashing a ruu, this doesn't explain someone with a stock phone having issues but I bet that's just tower issues
I don't have any of these issues

Tried all of the listed solutions and nothing worked. I know it's not the network because I don't have the problem with my Note II. Swiftkey was the issue for me, once removed, the issue never reoccurred.

Wow, you might be onto something here. I just installed SwiftKey last night and immediately started having issues. Data has been off-and-on with different versions of different ROMs, and never suspected that my issues may lie within an app that I was using. I was mucking about with radio ROMs and a million other settings, never realizing that SwiftKey was installed right around the time I started having issues on each ROM.
I'm going to jump back to CM10 this evening and see if this was my issue.
THANK YOU in advance! (Thanks button has been hit!) Nice work!
You gotta be sh***ing me! After all this time scouring xda and numerous other sites.starting my own tread it was SwiftKey all along? Wtf? I did a thousand different things. Nothing worked, took off Swiftkey, bam, flawless. I've got a T-mobile GS3 incase anyway was wondering, no, apparently it's not just with htc or AT&T/Rodgers. Weird though cuz my wife has a AT&T GS3 with Swiftkey and has no issues whatsoever... Did you dl your version from the playstore or from a 3rd party? Thanks a million for posting your solution. This was absolutely killing me. God do I hate this stock keyboard though...
I have a VZW M8 and it seems that after I leave Wi-Fi coverage, my mobile data will stall. I believe it is Wi-Fi disconnect causing the issue because if I leave Wi-Fi off, I haven't noticed the stall.
The only way to regain mobile data is to either restart which works every time, or if I go to mobile data settings and change from LTE to GSM, which works most of the time. Toggling data does not work.
I apologize if this has been discussed before, I searched and found nothing. I am s-off, rooted and running nV Rom. I asked in that forum but got no response. I also ran the GPE rom and had the same issue.
I don't remember this issue when I was stock, but that was such a short time, so I can't be sure.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and if they were able to remedy it somehow.
I've had this issue on previous devices and it was usually caused by a specific rom, but many times it had to do with the baseband or even kernel. I know that the GPE roms for the VZW M8 were ports from the unlocked variants so that may have modified something like the baseband. If it's a consistent thing throughout several roms, I would literally go back and flash stock firmware and then reroot to see if that fixed it. That used to do the trick for me.
Worth trying, I'll let you know what I come up with. Thanks
Well, I restored my stock nandroid, but I'm still having the issue. Maybe I will RUU to stock and see what that does for me.
On a side note, could it be one access point causing the issue? I don't remember it happening off of my router at home, but 75% of the time it happens all the time at work.

Actually, try forgetting the access point and then re-add.
I ended up not using Wi-Fi at work for a short time, and then re tried and it worked. Nothing changed, other than I forgot and re-added the network. Worth a try.

Hi all,
I own the Nexus 5 for almost one year now.. Gps always worked flawlessly. Last week I started to have gps issues.. I was on the road signal was OK for 15min and suddenly it dropped. Since then I've tried everything:
Agps download
Several gps apps
Full Wipe
New gps.conf settings
Nexus 5 gps antena fix.
Nothing work. Today I was making a comparison with my wife's galaxy s3 and I noticed something weird. The orientation of North is different. I don't know if this has something to do with the GPS lock.
Also, I can get a lock from (usually) half of the visible satellites. When my wife's galaxy s3 can get a lock from 98% of visible satellites. My error margin is always to big for navigation 14-40meters.
Can someone help me?
I'm rooted and using linaro kernel..
Anyone?

You need to go back and install the Radio from 4.4.2, it seems the Radio that came with 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 cause lots of GPS Signal loses. Installed the Radio yesterday and cleared cache and Dalvik-cache and my trip to work this morning had no signal lose. Hope it continues to work as my last vacation the GPS was pretty much unusable and I was ready to do an RMA. But if it is software hopefully google will fix. Please "Star" the Google issue so it gets more priority if using older radio fixes your issue.
Can you please point me the link to 4.4.1 radio?
Thank you
I extracted it from the Nexus 4.4.2 Factory image and flashed the radio using Fastboot:

It worked for me in my testing yesterday. Did you also clear your Dalvik Cache? I did both at the same time and since then GPS worked for me.
Not for me
I tried flashing the radio yesterday and it didn't seem to resolve me issue. So I used the LG tool to go back to stock, and GPS locked last night. But this morning it was the issue. Of course if I reboot the phone, I get an immediate lock. Not sure what's up with that. But I'm going to try a few more things today.

Yes it worked for me I did a factory reset & unroot just because I was getting ready to send it back. Then I read about the KOT49E radio re rooted & flashed KOT49E & now it works perfectly. I don't know if the reset was necessary, but its nice to clean out the closet every now & then.
I can't believe how frustrating this has been & such a simple fix (if your are rooted that is)

Hi guys, I am currently experiencing a very annoying problem on my OnePlus One. If I go to a place with bad reception or no mobile data available, my phone won't automatically get connection on good reception area before I reboot it.
Let's say I have good signal strength and working mobile data on my room, but my kitchen has bad signal strength and no mobile data. If I went to the kitchen and let the phone loses reception and mobile data, then go back to my room, my phone will have no reception and no mobile data unless I reboot it. Usually I can just turn on Airplane mode and turn it off so my phone can reinitialize the reception but not anymore.
I noticed this problem since I flashed Cyanogenmod Snapshot 13.0-20160819 (ZNH5YAO0IN). This problem is very annoying especially when I am outside because I often found myself missing lots of Whatsapp texts since I don't realize my phone doesn't have any mobile data.
What do you suggest to fix this problem? Any help is appreciated.
Try changing rom?... We have lots of good Nougat ROMs.
You can flash a new modem, go through the one plus one sections.Only if you're rooted.
Else you try formatting the phone, obviously with data backup.
Hope it'll help. Thanks

This is a fairly common problem with the OnePlus One. It's caused by the modem version you're on. For some (including myself), the problem can be fixed by flashing the c7 modem vs the older c6 ones. But, do be warned, for some this wipes out all radios on your device (Bluetooth, wifi, LTE, etc. all break). So before you try flashing new modems, make sure you have a copy of the one your phone currently has so you can flash it in the event that your radios stop working. (I want to say a nandroid backup doesn't actually save/restore the modem firmware). Do some googling in that direction. Might just lead to a fix.

Pardon my lack of knowledge with modems, but which one from this thread can I flash? I see some marked as H20 or Oxygen update, are they tied to that specific ROM or will they work on any ROM?
They're not ROM specific. They're device specific. You'll just want to try the c7-13 one, I'm guessing. Just keep in mind the cautions I said previously.

I saw a fellow member on the same country as me flashing the C7-11 (latest available on Modem Collection thread) and it worked for him so I figured I might give it a try. So far so good, not a single problem. But hey, thanks very much for pointing me to the right direction! I was close to change my ROM and wipe everything.
Edit: 5 days passed, not a single problem encountered. Suggested fix is proven.
