Hi everyone!
I have a problem which bugs me since quite a long time. I could not possibly find a solution through google, so as my last resort I am posting it here.
My HTC one S (S4) has a problem with REconnecting to the cellphone network. After extended time (1/2h +) of being in a place where there is no reception, eg my office in my university's basement, it cannot reconnect when I return to a place with reception (eg outside). It just stays like it would have no reception. The reception-bars in the status bar have the little cross over them and I cannot call / write sms etc. I then have to restart the phone to regain full functionality. And after rebooting the screen where I have to put in my PIN says there are two tries left instead of three.
The same thing happens when reconnecting after being in the airplane mode for a while. The airplane mode field is greyed out saying something like "disabling airplane mode" Then I also need to reboot the phone.
This problem started occuring after I flashed a Rom (ViperOneS) for the first time on this phone. I tried fixing it by installing the stock Rom with an RUU exe (for which I had to change the SuperCID) but it didn't help either. I tried different Roms too, but with no success. Unfortunately my service provider does not publish their branded roms for self installing, I would have to bring it to their service station.
My phone currently runs the stock Rom 2.31 (rooted and with CWM installed, bootloader unlocked over the HTC homepage).
Thank you for your help!
Cheers

Does anybody know anything about these problems?
I suggest you take everything back to stock. Relock your bootloader, reflash stock recovery, get your phone back to what it was at when you first used it, and then check how your service is.

I am sort of at a loss. My Surround is losing it's celluar data settings every time I turn it off and boot it back up. The signal bars do no E, or G, or H or anything else. If I am not connected to wifi there is no data at all. Speaking of wi-fi, it also does not maintain most of my saved networks. The only one is does is the one at work.
I first ran into this after Mango RTM upgraded to final. I was having other issues (e.g. music search not working) and blamed it on the upgrade. At the time I WAS able to use the HTC connection setup to configure the cellular data connection. I finally did a complete wipe on it a couple of weeks ago; I flashed back to the original ROM release and let it spend the next couple of hours updating back to Mango. Everything seemed fine but in the last couple of days I have found the problem has returned. To make matters worse, I can't even seem to download the HTC connection setup app anymore.
I have tried multiple soft resets, battery pulls, booting up without the SIM and then booting up with it, etc. Anyone have any ideas on what is causing this and how to fix it? The phone is pretty useless as a smartphone without a data connection.

Try that rom :] You need to do a RSPL / HSPL thing first;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195647
I suggest downgrading to a lower firmware and then doing so :] Mine does it from time to time aswell, Usually gets fixed when I--
1; get a call
2; turn wifi on or off
3; airplane mode
But even if it doesnt show the network type, It always works

Thanks. 1, 2, and 3 definitely don't fix it. It might be worth going with the custom ROM just so that it's unlocked and saves me from having to pay for the official unlock down the road sometime. One other thing is that around the same time I started getting some screen wonkiness. I would be trying to type something and the keyboard kept minimizing back to the bottom every few characters. Mainly only affected text messages though.
I decided to call AT&T to see if they might be able to force a refresh of the data settings. Since I've called them before on the problem the guy thinks it best to replace the phone. Guess we'll see what happens. May still do the ROM you suggested once I get it though.
Bleeping bleep bleep phone! Someone in a different thread suggested HTC might be able to help with an issue like this. Only solution they gave was a hard reset so I finally did that on I think it was Thurs or Fri. Everything was dandy at first. Fast forward to today and I notice this evening that my phone had lost it's settings again and once more I can't get them back. I also notice that it ate my saved wifi networks again.
I have the refurb device AT&T sent and I suppose I will go ahead and try to use it. I just hate having to set everything up...again. It's really getting old. Could my SIM card be to blame?
Haha. Going to be attending the local WP Insider Circle thing next week. Maybe I'll get lucky and win a new phone.
Hi,
I am facing network connectivity issue since the time I entered roaming area on my Matrix 2. It does not connect to network. It keeps showing no network, then for 2 seconds it shows emergency call symbol , then for 2 seconds it gets connected to network and again it keeps showing no network. This cycle keeps on repeating.
I searched for the issue and found that it is issue with atrix 2 software and the suggested solution was to install app called network and choose gsm only from it.
I tried it but it doesn't works for me.
I am able to make a call if I dial number exactly at the moment network appears for 2 seconds.
The only temporary solution I was able to find was to dial self number as soon as network appears and then keep on dialing it for around 8-10 times. Then it gets connected to network for 1/2-1 hour and then again it gets disconnected.
Please let me know if anyone has any solution for it.
I am on JB unrooted and using 2g network.
1) Try another SIM ....
2) try flashing ICS radio.img ...... (you shud know some fastboot commands) search the forum
3) try factory reset or reflash JB ..... it might work sometime
if you are using BSNL ..... then i have my sympathies with you :silly: lol
First off wrong forum, should go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1771
Go back to Stock ICS via RSD Lite 6, try SIM with other phone first and check, do not install apps for network improvement as mostly they just turn radio on & off, in worse case they can botch up some internal default settings. Use this for getting a view on network heat range & in particular tower direction to move towards for better reception https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.staircase3.opensignal&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zdGFpcmNhc2UzLm9wZW5zaWduYWwiXQ..
Thanks for the reply...
I have already tried that, its not a network or sim card issue. I have tried inserting sim to other phone and it just works fine.
I put it in general section coz when I googled it I came to know that its an issue with every atrix-2 so every one might have faced this issue while roaming.
Also going back to stock have not worked for anyone. Its an issue with atrix-2 software itself.
You seem to have reached to your own final conclusions but yet please understand on JB 4.1.2 leak there has been no one who has echoed your issue (gps is definitely an issue & for some wifi on some particular bands). Also read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425560
Try flashing the new 4.2.1 ROM based on official leak of 4.1.2 JB as I believe radio is better on it. On JB leak though one thing I can confirm is when phone enters roaming it automatically shuts data randomly and not always & user has to re-enable it. If all fails, fxz to stock ICS and if under warranty claim your stake.
Thanks...will try when I get back to home.
Although I have not reached to conclusion on my own, I search regarding this in Motorola forums and people facing this issue stated that they tried aall the specified methods. They were getting this issue on all os versions.
Please point me towards a link which illustrates issue same as your on JB 4.1.2 specifically.
Hi XDA!
I have a problem with my OnePlus One. I have no signal on it and when I try to make a call, it shows me "Turn off airplane mode to make a call". It must be something with the software. I tried huge some ROMs (stock, custom, KK, LP, MM, even ColorOS), many firmwares, modems etc. but nothing helped me. I was flashing with TWRP 2.8.7.0.5, 2.8.6.0 and 3.0.0.0 with no effect. IMEI in my phone is correct. Both WiFi and Bluetooth works. Only the sim card/signal is a problem.
I cannot "Turn on radio" in #*#*4636*#*# -> Phone info. And here's what's there:

I hope you will help me, because I'm out of ideas for this moment. Of course I have "equipment" to flash: unlocked BL, TWRP, fastboot.
Thanks in advance!
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...-radio-off-no-signal-tried-everything.415618/ - This might help you. some one had similar problem and it worked. hope this works, good luck mate.
Not sure if i can post links of other forums here, but please feel free to remove the link if it is the case.

Thank you for your answer!
Sadly, I tried it before without success. Now I've tried with few other CMs and other TWRP, but still same. What I have now is: http://i.epvpimg.com/Zdcnh.png
Funnny thing that one time it somehow had signal (a bit weaker than it should and without network).
Solution
I had an identical dilemma this morning. After talking to my insurance, filing a claim, going to my carrier, having a tech look at it, and convincing the corporate office to give me a new phone, I was messing around and decided to try to restart it again.
This time I turned airplane mode on. Then powered off and restarted. Upon powering back on, I was prompted to allow airplane mode to remain on or to shut off airplane mode. I shut it off and service resumed immediately. I hope this helps.
Hi - Few months ago, I upgraded my OnePlus 3T to Lineage 18 and Android 11. today I inserted a SIM card, but I am getting an error "Turn off airplane mode to make a call" Radio Off.
I tried to WIPE/ Clear Cache in TWRP. please help to resolve the issue.
did you solve the problem somehow?
Hi all,
I'm facing the problem with both phones (Asus 4 Max/ZC554KL and Samsung A10s/A107F). The signal is full, shows 4G, even the arrows, BTSs all around (almost the city centre) but the data connection keeps disconnecting. As long as there's a data transfer (downloads, online radio), it works, once it stops, the connection dies too, still showing 4G/data transfer arrows though. Switching the data off/on doesn't help, the flight mode on/off has to be used to restore the connection. Doing this everytime you touch the phone is kinda....tiring, not mentioning you're getting no messages/notifications till you do it. The sim cards are both quite new (t-mobile cz and kaktus (local lowcost t-m brand)), so it shouldn't be the problem, I was thinking about the problem with contacts to the antennas in back covers as both phones were open few times (was changing the charging connectors due to the slight water damage) but wasn't able to find out if the 4G/GSM antennas are in the cover in case of these phones. The carriers keep saying all is fine from the network part. Both phones were bought new in Asia, being used in CZ now but have all local LTE bands. Asus performs a tiny bit better (in terms of reception) so I decided to dig into the software options. The factory reset didn't help and I realised the phone is still in its original state from the time I bought it (03/19) and offered me zero updates. Even now it doesn't. Tried to download it manually from the Asus website but it always says "error" during the installation and stops it. So I decided to find another way to get it in. Don't want to risk Chinese one-click apps, so I chose Magisk which should allow manual updates with no risk. The collateral problem arose, as the volume keys do not work, so I tried to put it into the recovery mode through ADB. My old computer sadly only has Windows Vista OS and keeps telling me errors whenever I try to perform any ADB commands. Therefore I'm asking you here for help with the following questions:
1. is there any software allowing to put ZC554KL into the recovery mode through Windows Vista?
2. if not, any other way to push any actual ROM version into it? (There's still 7.1.1 from the factory).
3. if not, any other way to get there Magisk?
4. if not, any safe rooting app, not requiring the recovery mode? (Well, I don't need to get controlled by the Chinese comrades)
5. overall, any other possibilities to solve this data problem/keep the data connection working? (I could leave the online radio on (silently) but the battery gets drained quickly and I won't have unlimited data forever )
6. anyone knows where the LTE/WiFi antennas are in these two phones? As Asus has better 4G but significantly worse WiFi reception.
I've heard you're the #1 experts here, so hopefully we'll be able to solve this. If there's any information missing in the problem description, I'm ready to provide it.
Thanks a lot for any help
