JB reception problem - HTC One S

Since I updated last week to the new JB firmware I'm having issues with cell reception. Basically I have no reception anywhere anymore. Is this aan known issue and/or is it fixable?
Wifi / bluetooth works fine.
Any help is appreciated.

Ok, so I unlocked the bootloader, flashed custom recovery and viper S ROM and still no reception. Apparently my problem is not software related. However, it can't have been more than a day after I updated tot JB stock when it started.
Could it be the hardware? I do think I dropped my phone around christmas...
should I send it in for repair? And if I do should I first go back to stock and relock bootloader?

I think you need to change your radio. As far as Im aware, JB comes with an updated radio. Installing a custom ROM does not change the radio.

Ok tnx, can you point to me to a guide for changing the radio? Never done that before. And I think I would like to have the one that comes with stock 4.04 with which I had excellent reception. Where do I get that one?
Thanks again!

[Q] Wifi problem on Trickdroid

I'm currently using an S4 Tmobile One S I can't get a wifi connection on trickdroid version 8.1.0. (I can on version 7.0.0) and I can't get it to work on Viper rom.
I've already tried flashing the Extra partitions 1.84 and 2.35 but neither of them seem to help at all.
so I have a few questions:
1. Is there anyway to use trickdroid version 7 and update the software to sense 4.1 and get android version 4.0.4 without switching to trickdroid version 8?
2. Is there a specific kernel that guarantees that the extra partitions.zip files will fix wifi? Or perhaps changing hboot or radio to stock?
Ok so I just realized that the trickdroid Rom version 7.0.0 is already based on 4.0.4 and sense 4.1. So I have every thing working but I can't flash the tweak packages with this version without getting a bootloop?

I just got my One S S4 from T-Mobile just 2 days and I rooted it the same day, however right after I unlocked the bootloader, I started getting no signal. I didn't mind and I continued to follow through with the rooting process, and I successfully got root, and then flashed Trickdroid 8.1 and I noticed the same thing.
I couldn't connect to wifi. It would detect the network and I'd put my password for wifi in but it wouldn't connect.
And also, I was getting no signal but I had 4G on..? So basically I could surf the web, and the apps could use mobile data, but I couldn't make calls or send/receive texts. Weird. And this frightened to me because I had just gotten the phone a few hours ago, and so I unrooted and went back to stock.
I would also like help on this issue, as I'm planning to root again, and use a custom ROM. But I would like to know if wifi or signal has any issues

Did you upgrade to the latest ota from T-Mobile or not? Upgrading guarantees a loss of WiFi and poor signal on many roms so stick with android 4.0.3. I suggest to try trickdroid Rom instead and see if it causes the same WiFi problem.

Uhm, like I said, I just got the phone a couple days ago, so I'm guessing yes it has the latest update? I think.

Yea you do, HTC blocked user rights using this update so the only ROMs that support WiFi and 4g speeds are trickdroid v 7 and I believe black bean. Try flashing extra partitions because it helped most people get their WiFi and data back

Ahhhhh. Unless someone finds a way to downgrade, this is the only way for me, right?
So what do you suggest? Rooting for a trickdroid v7 or just staying on stock?

Yea unfortunately :/ i honestly think Trickdroid is better if for no other reason, battery life. Besides that, Trick droid is nearly stock so its up to you.

Yea, But trick droid 8 may have worse data speeds too, and if you're willing to sacrifice those you may want to try other ROMs. Viper one is a very popular one because of all the customizations. Remember to flash boot.IMG of any ROM you flash or you'll get a boot loop.

I'm having the same issue however, I'm having this issue with TrickDroid V7 TMo US. I'm unable to connect to wifi but I was able to connect to wifi on ViperOne S. I switched from ViperOne S to TrickDroid because I would lose the ability to talk and surf once I initiated a call. That alone wasn't a big issue but the call quality would drop as well. It would become grainy and barely intelligible.
What I would like to know is when it's referenced "OTA" and "Upgrade", what version(s) should I NOT have? Current specs are as follows:
Android Version 4.0.4
HTC Sense 4.1
Software Number Trick Droid V7.0.0 TMOUS
HTC SDK API level 4.23
HTC Extension version HTCExtension_403_1_GA_20
Baseband version 0.16.31501S.02_10.18.31501S.08L
Build number 2.35.531.7 CL96068 release -keys
Browser version WebKit/534.30

[Q] Nexus S weak Wifi and GSM

I recently purchased a Nexus S (M200) and I am experiencing very low Wifi and GSM signals. In fact, it's so low that I can't even make calls from GSM when indoors and need to get outdoor to get fair signals. Similar issue is with Wifi and I have to be within 10 meters to get a stable Wifi connection.
I have tried various roms and kernels but the problem remains. Even went back to stock gingerbread rom and the same problem. Any suggestion to get this fixed? Seems like a hardware issue and my phone is not under warranty!
Help appreciated.
I experienced the same thing on Cyanogen 10.1 nightly but when I was on stock 4.1 it was ok.
Maybe it's your provider which don't have a good network where you are.
I am sorry for my english I hope you will undrstand me.

You should get the most recent baseband (radio) firmware update for your model of Nexus S. If you search the forums, you should be able to find a thread all the basebands linked. Be sure to only install the one for the model you have, because the wrong one will not work.

Hi, kamran666,
If you purchased it used I would check if WiFi and GSM antennas are there and properly connected.
Take a look on this video from 2:33.

Unfortunately a different radio is probably your best bet... but I wouldn't hesitate to try a new SIM card if yours is more than a year old...

Ah, yeah, you're right, they do... I didn't think of that. I would try updating to the latest FW (3.33 - as you proposed). That'll update your radio which could effect your call quality/signal strength. There are also several build.prop edits you can try as well. I followed this thread a while back and had good results. Of course, if you're just in an area with awful cell coverage there's not too much you can do about it.... that said, if it were me, I'd update the radio and go from there...

[Q] Cyanogenmod 10.1 RC1 Data Connection Issue

So I did a full clean wipe, twice just to be sure.
Flashed RC1 and everything seemed to be going great at first. Then I noticed that the signal is dropping in and out. (I live in San Diego) It won't hold a signal for any reasonable amount of time. So it drops from 4G LTE going off. I've rebooted. At a bit of a loss. I'm operating on ATT.
Should I try to reflash? I was previously running CM 10.0 with no serious issues.
I've made sure the priority is LTE/GSM
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
May be your APN? What radio are you using?

Same happened to me. Reflashed the modem problem fixed.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
I had it on ATT Phone and then switched it to ATT LTE. Issue wasn't resolved. I tried the other APNs as well. Same result.
For poops and giggles I flashed the most recent nightly 05/06 and still had the same issue.
May seem silly to ask, but how do you flash the modem? That sounds like it could be a solution.
Edit: Ermm what radios did you flash to fix the problem?
Looking more like you need the latest UCMC1 radio. Happened with a big kernel update in the nightlies, since this is getting closer to stable, I'm sure we'll see this problem more as more people start updating.

Yea, I flashed that one after I found it on a post about the radios. It fixed the problem to an extent. However I'm getting much weaker signal than usual (although this could be the bars not displaying properly maybe, I don't want to jump immediately to a conclusion) and also am getting the data bars greyed out which means it's not.
Do you recommend reflashing the radio again?

b2tracken,
Just wanted to say thanks for your post here and that I'm experiencing the same exact thing. Yesterday I upgraded my skyrocket from an old ICS install to the latest 4.2.2 with CM 10.1, coincidentally right when this RC1 came out, so I quickly upgraded from M3 to RC1 last night. This morning I noticed that something was up with the radio and read your post. I flashed the radio to UCMC1 like you probably did and now I'm getting a connection, but about half as strong (in bars) as before the whole upgrade. Really no complaints yet - it hasn't hindered phone calls or mobile data connection - but I would be interested to find out if there is anything I can do to improve it, or configure it properly. I'm a big noob when it comes to phones.
Thanks,
Chad

The only other thing that I have changed is going and changing the APN under mobile networks to ATT LTE from ATT Phone. I'm getting about half signal also and intermittent issues with it greying out. (They seem to have not been very prevalent.) Seems that I'm not the only one with the issue which is fortunate. Give that a shot. Hopefully it gets worked out in the next release.
Att ucmc1 apn
SO I've uploaded the original UCMC1 stock ATT APN, you can just create a new APN and set it like these images.
Also wondering, after you cleanup (format data, system, cache, dalvik cache), No reboots, you do the next in the following order:
1-flash UCMC1 Radio
2-flash CM10.1 ROM (I'm still on 04/23 and everything works: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272261)
3-flash gapps from 20130301 (http://goo.im/gapps)
Good luck,
Don't forget to hit THANKS if I helped you
Having the same exact issue, I've done everything stated here, only thing i did differently was updated the radio after CM.
Well the problem came back randomly with RC2 to an extent.
Now everything is showed as greyed out and no connection available including wifi.
Anybody have a clue on this?

Use a sock based Rom. 4.2 drops data and has all sorts of issues.

+1. UCMC1 should be used on all current CM10.1 builds. Any older radios will cause major problems with the newer JB-based blobs we use in CM10.1 past around 4/24.
One caveat: I don't know about Rogers users, sorry guys. If you have an official JB release from Samsung, you should use that radio. (Otherwise you will have to use UCMC1)

You said re-root. You don't need root to flash roms.
And probably not, cm is all busted right now anyways and data drops, reboots and all the other stuff is gonna happen regardless.

What nightly are you on? Anything after 4/23 (including the RC's) will have a lot of those instability issues. The developers are working hard to fix it if you want to read the development thread.
