[Q] need HELP 3g signal not showing - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

after flashing a new Rom my 3g just disappeared, i cant get any 3g data even if i have the right APN settings, im in the philippines and i have the Smart APN settings, tried to install different Rom still same, tried flashing back the old radio still the same result, need help here pls!

hmn i gues this means that ill be replacing my phone now...

Why did you flash radios? i9023 doesn't need it imo. Try doing a factory reset then flash another rom.
Another small possibility: Smart PH is upgrading it's system. Happened to Globe once, i thought my phone's 3g was broken for almost a week.

Go to the Comm Manager and make sure the Phone is turned On and Flight Mode is OFF
This has happened to me with a few ROMS.
wish it was that easy but no
When i bought my tytn 2 i had same problem .

Usually you'll find :
Select your network type = Auto
Select your GSM/UTMS band = Auto
Try to force this parameters according your mobile company .
then make a Network selection manually .
I hope this help you.

You have a BAAAAAAAAD ROM flash....
Take a deep breath and relax. I suggest hard reset first then remove your SIM card and re-insert. make sure the cut out edge of the SIM is the out side not on the inserted side.
Make sure you have a ROM, and i would suggest one that does NOT have the radio cooked with it. It can be Dutty's or Sleuth. I recommend Sleuth's ROM for I find it more robust. Flash properly and you will have your phone back.
BTW... remove your SD ( Memory Card ) before you start the flash.
Good luck.

[Q] captivate radio set wrong after flashing t-mobile ROM by accident - no backup

so like a kid in a candy store i got ahold of ROM manager and ODIN and started flashing cool looking roms..next thing i know, the t-mobile logo is popping up and i am a not-so-proud owner of a modded T-Mobile Captivate, no longer an ATT Galaxy S!
of course the t-mobile network uses different frequencies and the like, so the phone part of my phone stopped working...bummer! i grumbled as i flashed back to a ROM that worked with the ATT network (FUSION it is called) but apparently that ROM does not mess with the internal network settings thats why it worked so well initially it didnt change the stock cell internals...
so now i have a hybrid phone, half-tomobile half-att half Fusion, and it only picks us signals from the Edge network!!! i barely get any reception so it pretty useless...
so i need some help...i can i get this beast back into a condition where is will work as an ATT galaxy?? also, for whatever reason i cannot mount or download market apps to the phone tho it does pickup wifi connections...
any help/ideas appreciated...advTHANKSance!
- mark
Flash back to stock with odin 1 click. Or try just flashing a new modem with cwm.

manually set the modem/APK using this guide...may or may not have been needed in the end...

PLEASE HELP! 2.3.4 and suddenly can't connect to my network (Bell Mobility)

Hello,
Please help if you can! I updated my Nexus S to 2.3.4 the other day, and everything was working fine. Today, the phone at some point lost the ability to connect to my network (Bell Mobility). I was out and about and was turning data off, and might have hit the 2g/3g toggle by accident, and seem to remember reading about that causing problems - though I have no idea if I did for sure (the sun was bright) and am honestly not sure what's wrong EDIT: when I go into wireless & networks\mobile networks\network operators, the phone will only recognize Roger's Wireless (and it was bought at a Telus store!) The UI still works fine, and I can still connect via wifi - just no way to get it to recognize Bell's network
As stated above, everything was working fine this morning - voice, data and sms all good. Here is all the info from my phone:
Android version 2.3.4
Baseband version NO DGSXXKD1
Kernel Version 2.6.35.7-ge383d80 [email protected] #1
Build number GRJ22
The bootloader is unlocked, and I had been running CM7 before flashing the manual 2.3.4. I'm not sure what to do. Tried re-flashing the manual 2.3.4 update.zip, and nothing. I know a very little bit about rooting/flashing (just enough to follow guides), and am wondering whether I need to re-flash a different kernel/radio/rom or something. I did search, and couldn't find anything that outlined my problem exactly (I do apologize if something is out there and I just didn't look hard enough).
Again, the phone was bought new at a Telus store, and found the Bell Mobility network out of the box no problem. Am hoping someone can help!
Thanks so much for reading, and if you are able to help.
Check your APN's to make sure the data info is in there I had to manually enter mine (bought phone from Telus to use on Bell/Sasktel's network) for Sasktel and bob was my uncle
Every upgrade i need to put them back in. No automatic for me, so i would start there
Menu - Settings - Wireless & Network - Mobile Networks - Access Point Names.
If nothing is in there, you need your APN settings. Talk to bell support for the info, and they should be able to help you over the phone (they support android even if they dont sell a Nexus S)
Cheers!
Thanks so much for your response, though I don't think that the APN's are the issue at all; they're still in there and fine. I think that it's the actual radio (or baseband), as the phone will not recognize the bell network, only the Rogers network (and it was bought new at a Telus store!)
I think that I need to re-flash the radio, and maybe the kernel. I searched to try and find the radio image for my phone, but haven't found anything clear enough for me to be comfortable to try - I've read time and again that flashing radios is one of the riskier things to do. I don't think that my phone is bricked (can still boot it up, and all of the ui works and can connect via wifi). Don't want to risk doing more damage.
Thanks again for your response though!
i think i'm having the same problem. i've manually upgraded to 2.3.3 then to 2.3.4. and then i put a sim card in - not used it as a phone before this.
i can get 3-4 white bars lit up but can't connect to any network. the bars turn green when wifi is active, but still can't connect ("can't connect at this time. please try again later" toast appears). not sure if the phone is borked, or if the upgrade wasn't that successful.
I actually have this same issue but using it on at&t in the USA...Really hope it isn't broken cause I have no way to fix it since i'm not in canada
Maybe check if the 2g box is checked in mobile networks. Check your apn settings and if that doesn't help try and flash another radio.

i'm unrooted, and don't intend to root. apn is fine as suggested above, and regardless of 2g checked or unchecked, still no connect
Rogers is the only 2G gsm provider, your phone may be stuck on 2G. If you have the choice, I would go back to 2.3.3 full stock and see if everything then works.

No. you are best to use cwm and restore a stock image for your phone
Sent from my Nexus S
Your best option is to flash back to 2.3.3. Download rom manager from the market and flash clockwork recovery. Once in recovery flash the 2.3.3 .zip file. I saw it somewhere here but i forgot where I saw it. Hope that helps.

Try this http://devsforandroid.com/index.php?board=18.0
I'm NOT SURE if it'll work, but it's worth the try. Make sure to to wipe everything before you flash. I'm not responsible for any damage this may cause. But I hope this helps you out.
If anyone wants to chime in and correct me please do so.

Or if you're not comfortable flashing the stock 2.3.3 rom maybe just try and flash back the xxkb2 radio which I believe was the stock baseband for Rogers, telus, Fido and bell. I have the .zip file for you to try and flash through CWM if you need it. Otherwise you can find it somewhere here aswell.

i'm not looking to root nor use any 'hacks'. i don't trust them.
under the battery, the phone is just a i9020. no letter afterwards.
Flashing a ROM doesn't require root, it requires unlocking the bootloader, which Google officially allows you to do that. You can unlock the bootloader, flash 2.3.3 ROM, then lock it as if it had never been unlocked. Just keep in mind that unlocking resets to factory default and wipes your SD card clean, backup before you do it.
Ahhh yes, I had same thing except with Telus I fixed it once, but the second time I could not get it to work, do this, flash this radio
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044261
it is the stock radio your phone came with, then call up bell and get them to "repush" your sim card... hopefully you will see your network again.

It depends on which ROM you flash. I flashed the official 2.3.3 ROM, it contains the radio image, it'll flash it as you apply the update.
Do you remember which baseband version it came with out of box? That should give us hint as to which radio applies to your phone. I think there are really only two types of radios used except NS 4G, 850/1900/2100 (i9020A radio) and 900/1700/2100 (i9020T radio). You can ask your service provider or check out their website which band you are running on.
Back to flashing ROM, I just realised you don't even need to unlock the bootloader if you are flashing Google signed files. You should most likely be able to flash a 2.3.3 full ROM, then flash the 2.3.4 update file. But if you find the 2.3.4 full ROM, that's even more convenient. I saw a full ROM on the forum, but I that was for i9023 or i9020. Not too sure, maybe others know.
For the Canadian carriers, as stated before, Rogers is the only 2g (edge) carrier all others (Bell, Telus, Sasktel) are 3g (HSPA). go Settings>Wireless & network settings>mobile networks and ensure "Use only 2g networks" is not selected.
If this does not work flash the KB2 modem, the other modems may lose 850mHz spectrum which could be causing your grief.
Solution!!! (At least this worked for me!) - Didn't have to flash anything
Hey all,
I apologize for not posting this sooner, but found a solution that worked for me, hope it might work for others experiencing the same problem.
**PLEASE keep in mind that though this worked for me, I don't know if it will work for you (maybe it might make things worse for some people). Especially keeping in mind that I DON'T KNOW FOR CERTAIN what originally caused the issue for me, nor what specific factors (rom build, phone model, radio image, etc) might have contributed. As well, I am on the Bell Network. USE ANY OF WHAT'S STATED BELOW AT YOUR OWN RISK. Disclaimer stated, read on...**
In the dialer, I punched in *#*#4636#*#* and then from the menu that popped up, selected Phone Information.
From there, in the Set preferred network type: drop down menu (scroll down a little, you'll see it) I selected GSM/CDMA auto (PRL). **Again, remember that I'm on the Bell Network in Canada. Should you be trying this, these settings might not be for you. Again, AT YOUR OWN RISK**
Then, still from the Phone Information screen, I pressed menu button (the hard menu button on the phone), and then chose the Select Radio Band option. From there, I believe I selected Auto, though I may have selected USA (It's been a couple of days, and I can't remember, I apologize).
After that, went back to the Phone Information menu, and pressed Run Ping Test. It seemed to show all of the necessary (and appropriate for my network) settings as ok, and... everything worked!!! Full network connection as before!
Hope this might help someone else! Keep in mind that I'm not sure what caused the original problem; I do believe I remember pressing the 2g/3g toggle, and also remember reading somewhere that this can cause problems. Specifically, that it stopped peoples phones from going back from 2g to 3g - in my case (Bell Mobility) there is no 2g network to drop down to, so if it got stuck on EDGE mode, it probable looked for the only local carrier with a GM EDGE network, (Rogers) and got stuck there. Not sure, but maybe this is what happened. Any wise folks out there that might be able to confirm/offer insight?
Anyhow, thanks so much for all the responses and offers of help!

[Q] Internet doesn't work anymore with my SGS II

Hi, when the Resurrection Remix ICS rom v1.7 was released I installed it and it worked perfectly until today. I don't know why, but I just switched off the Wifi when I left home and then my 3g connection didn't work anymore. I tried to change my Simcard into another mobile, everything worked. So I installed the 1.8.1 a few hours ago, but I still have issues with the internet. I'm neither on 3G, nor EDGE, nor anything else, I just can send/receive call and text. But the Wifi works.
Does anyone have an idea?
PS: I already try to flash another modem, but no changes...
factory reset
make a factory reset
Already done. I mean, when I flash a new rom, I always wipe factory reset.
Missing APN's ?
Hello,
have you checked if the APN's are still configured and correct?
If you wanna know if the hardware is broken make a Nandroid backup of your phone and install a stock rom, to check if 3g works.
I didn't touch the APN before, so I don't think the problem is there. I did flash a stock kernel as you say, no 3g, is this mean something is broken inside? Please say no
update: Now I have the 3G+ next to my battery
update 2: Not anymore.... I don't understand

[Q] No Data after Flashing Custom Rom

Kind of long, but it's just a difficult explanation, please read and try to help me. Thank you.
Okay, so I have a really weird problem, and I can't seem to fix it at all. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my Sprint Motorola Photon Q, and had no problem with data loss, then I flashed PAC Man Rom, and everything went fine and it flashed but then I noticed that I had no data. No 3G, 4G, or 4G LTE, the phone lost network signal, but what was weird is that I could still receive texts and phone calls.
So, then I read that wiping the Dalvik and the regular cache would fix it, and it didn't. Then, I also tried flashing a different ROM which also didn't fix it. I RSD back to stock firmware and the problem was gone. I even tried rerooting and just installing a different ROM but, it still had the same issue, so I just went back to stock again.
Can someone please help me fix this? I've looked everywhere and I can't really find anything to help me out with this.
Thank you in advance.
Is your provider Sprint as well...?
I'm not sure, data works here on custom ROM's... which version are you flashing? Have you tried CM11?
There's some new device unification going on, the newest KK builds are going to be under the "moto_msm8960" device instead of xt897...
No I haven't tried CM11. Where do I find the IMG for it at?
I have Flash Wireless, which is Sprint prepaid. I have tried CM11 and still nothing. I don't understand what is going on....I'm getting real frustrated because I want to put a good custom ROM on my phone....

Perhaps that's the issue. Did you check your APN settings? Is it using Sprint's network?
