I've had a problem with my skyrocket for quite some time now. No matter which radio, ROM, or kernel I use the data will be hit and miss and so won't phone calls and messaging. I've already had one skyrocket replaced because of this issue and even got a replacement SIM card to no avail. I get full bars of H+ service. I've tried adding different APNs as well. The AT&T store is obviously stumped (they are basically worthless) and phone support is no better. I was wondering if anyone knew of this problem and what caused it or a way to fix it.

I will take it to them and try to get a replacement or a different phone. I got my first one within the 30 day return period but I have had my current phone for about two months. I also forgot to mention that if I throw it against the wall or smack it against my hand, the message will usually go through. Now, I don't usually go throwing my electronics around haha. I only did this after it started happening and that always seemed to make it work.

Hi I'm new here so i apologize if I have posted this in the wrong spot or if there is already a post about this (i checked and couldnt find one) Anyways, i'm having an issue with my SGS4G that drives me INSANE. It happens often. I will be texting or browsing the internet or something and the green arrow pointing up on the 4G symbol freezes. Once that happens im not able to do anything: send texts, load anything, use internet (pretty much anything consisting of data). I actually experienced the problem trying to load up XDA. Any help would be greatly appreciated guys. Thanks.

i encounter that problem a number of times on the 4g connection. using edge never experiences the problem and i can also remedy if i switch networks.
Are you using Mobile AP by any chance when it happens? I've had my data freeze completely after a good amount of use via Mobile AP. Other than that I haven't noticed any issues.

G2x
Modded gingerbread theme
Whitehawks kd1 deodexed with modded green dialer,modded pull down menu (favorite color is green and favorite football team greenbay packers)
Read up on the g2x lately. It is having lots of issues for lots of people. Tmo even pulled it off their website due to problems with alot of those phones. Random reboots, screen issues like light bleeds and discoloring, and other issues. Some are happy with the device with few of these issues others have had multiple exchanges and still report problems.
They say the gingerbread update will fix some of these when it comes out. I doubt it will fix the screen issues tho. That just sounds like an LG hardware defect. Bottom line do some reading before jumping on the LG g2x bandwagon.

ROMs for this device don't flash the radio. If you zeroed out the radio you F'd up your phone something good. Nobody has figured out how to reflash the radio on this device. Also, we never touch EFS. That is a big no-no and another way to F'up your phone. Sounds like you nuked it something good.

I have the same thing, where it is not showing my phone number in the about phone. I also have to reset the radio at-least once a day to get data back. (Go to airplane mode and back) The cell works fine though... Weird, never had this problem with original GB rom. There must be another cache partition that needs clearing?
that, I have no idea but my girl had data problem for 2wks now and no rep seemed to know the answer.. I had 3 replacement phones for her and nothing, 2 new sim cards nothing.. My last option of my own was to change number, and guess what.. It works now. By the way, problem was data would stop, browser would redirect me to web2go and say I have no data plan and 1.99 charge to continue. just a reboot would fix it but its a hassle. Well, changing numbers helped.. Something deffinetly went wrong with that other line or something.

When I'm blocking someone its on purpose and I use call master. If there is a problem with connectivity I can reset the radio layer or reset the telephony service. This might be an idea just to have the ability reset the radios at different levels in order to clarify the problem

How do I reset the radio? And I do not have anyone blocked or call forwarding enabled

I use a call blocking app like call master or root call blocker. It allows in the setting to reset the radios individually.

Believe it or not removing the sim sometimes works as it registers/unregisters you from the network.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
edit----if nothing else helps try reflashing. If that doesn't work get new sim(no charge if you say it is defective ) make sure your reflash stock rom.
If that doesn't work, send in for trade under one year warrenty.

No its a monthly plan. I called up rogers tech support and he had me change the network mode to gsm only and he tried calling and it went through, then hspa and same thing with data on.. went to gsm/hspa/lte auto and with data on the call went through fine.. as soon as I got off the phone, I tried calling my number and calls stopped going.. (put it back to gsm only and it started working even with data on, but when its on LTE with data on is when it starts screwing up) does that mean when its connecting to an lte tower its messing up? Is that my phone's issue or the towers? Is there anything I can flash to the phone to see if the problem goes away.. already flashed stock radio but didnt help
Same issue here. Att user. Sky ics rom.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
any fix??? it just started happening like four days ago and never had this issue before.
This is a known issue, at least in Canada with Rogers. It has nothing to do with what rom or Kernel you are using.
It appears that Rogers is having intermittent issues with the LTE network. It comes from the handoff between LTE and 4g when a voice call is received. After you hang up, you are supposed to go back to LTE automatically. But with this glitch sometimes the phone will get stuck and as a result you get no texts and calls going straight to voicemail.
You could try creating a new APN node for 3g/4g only and using that to see if it solves your problem while Rogers is actually becoming aware of the issue and fixing it.

So, it's been more than a month now since I have not been able to get a solid 3G connection in my area where there is no 4G. Last time I asked no one was really able to help, so I thought I try again. If I turn on my data, it usually takes a while for it to connect and once it does, it stays connected for about 30 seconds to a minute. Sometimes it's longer, but it always drops eventually. Sometimes it has the 3G icon, but nothing happens still. It's a beezy to try and send or receive a picture message. The only time I ever use Internet now is if I have Wifi. I sent it into Samsung, got it back more than a week later and all they did was take the update the GS3 received while they had it. It seems as though if I'm in a 4G area, the data works fine, but other than that, it's almost nonexistent. Can anyone help me, please?

I don't know what to say bro. Is it just your area? How does your phone do on other areas? If it works in other areas then it's just bad service in your area? How does someone else's phone act around your house. You should compare it to another phone and see if that one loses data.

Lame man. My issues were terrible until I switched to synergy. I'm on the he modem now but have had luck with lg1 as well. HD was **** on my phone.
Have you tried any modem swaps? Comparing service on hour Samsung to say a Motorola or an iPhone will make you pull your hair out. I fell into it as well. My wife's iPhone wouldnt drop 3g and my old Motorola got great service in the same spot my s3 would drop signal/go to 1x.
Things really got ****ed up when I went to an area with 4g. Watching my phone, with 4 bars of 4g drop to 3g then to 1x, to no service at all for a few minutes then repeat the process over and over again made me RAGE!

You can try flashing back to stock using section 5 in this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709. After that if your phone still won't connect you can try putting in this dialer code:*2767*3855#
This will of course totally wipe your phone and everything on it, but should restore service.

Isn't that only if the IMEI is removed? I still have hat and have service... I just don't want to try all that if it's unnecessary
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Those directions won't work if your IMEI was lost. There is a different thread for that in the development section. The directions I gave should restore your service. You could try different fixes like flashing a different modem in recovery, but it sounds like it's not a modem issue since you have data. You could try doing a factory reset, clearing cache and dalvik and reflashing the ROM in recovery first. If you have any nandroid backups where you had service you could try restoring to a backup.

Could this be a bad sim?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Could be a bad sim. It won't be difficult to reroot at all. That guide I linked to has instructions. I would go ahead and try flashing back to complete stock using section 5 and using the dialer code I gave above if it isn't fixed right away when you flash. If that doesn't fix it, then it probably is a bad sim.
Odined back to stock and made 2 phone calls... Working on rerooting, damn thing tried to update! I went back to ICS for ease of reroot. Thanks for the help!!
Wow! And we're back to not working this morning... did the re provisioning, still not working! Call Verizon, they try to repeat the troubleshooting... Tell me it can't be a bad sim card and that maybe it's the network... I'M IN CHICAGO! I think there'd be more complaints.... Anyways, do you think I could go to a store and get them to trade me a SIM card?? Oddly enough, my lockscreen says "roaming" even after all this provisioning...
People have gotten newer sim cards for much more trivial problems than yours, you should be able to get one. I wouldn't really know much else to do besides just getting a replacement phone.
Well, just an update... Got a new sim card, still didn't work. They're sending me a replacement phone
