Help Needed: Data Roaming Won't Run, Since update, Stock ROM, confused - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My father is using Tab2 (P3100). Running Stock OS, Unrooted. 3G Data Connection from Vodafone Delhi India.
since a month or so back he found a update notice and upgraded the Stock Firmware to Latest 4.1.2 using WIFI
Not sure but might be since then, Whenever he's On Roaming, Data Connection Won't work.
Currently He's in U.P. circle it won't connect, Voda has 3G Service here, And I use it everyday at home/city wide.
Tried following:-
1). Checked APN Settings, they are correct.
2). Checked Data Roaming in Mobile Networks.
3). Tried Switching to GSM Only, and WDMA Only, WCDMA/GSM Auto Option, All options same result.
4). Checked wifi is OFF, and Data Connection IS Enabled, using Widgets or APPS but it won't turn on
5). Took out the SIM from Tab2, and Inserted In my Android Phone and 3G/2G Connects Instantly.
6). Put A different SIM which is from my Region but as its not On Roaming, Data Works fine.
7). Checked with operator they have no clue whats wrong in the TAB.
8). Requested Fresh APN Settings from Operator and saved it, But Tab2 won't connect.
Can someone shed some light if this is a BUG in current latest firmware of Tab2 or I am getting and my brain fails to finds a solution.
Any help will be appreciated, don't let me down my fellow members pleaseeeeee

Help request: LTE Data works,"no service" otherwise. IMEI/number, but no texts/calls.

Help request: LTE Data works,"no service" otherwise. IMEI/number, but no texts/calls.
Software: Android 5.0.1 Skydragon M8 v2.0 Sense 7
Many people have posted issues with LTE where their cellular signal was fine for "2G" functions like calls and texts.
I'm having the opposite problem. After leaving airplane mode (landing at an airport today), I have a "No Service" message in the status bar drop down (notification tray), and the Settings>Network information page shows "Not Registered." However, I do have an IMEI (see details below). However, LTE data works perfectly fine.
I've obviously tried changing the settings in Settings>Mobile Data (preferred network to Global / LTE / LTE/legacy 3GPP mode) connection type global/auto/LTE/etc), to no avail. If LTE is connected it works flawlessly, but I cannot make calls or texts, and show not registered on the network. Data roaming is set to deny, but even allowing roaming does not change the situation.
Before this happened, I HAD gone through all the XTended Settings, and even 'looked' at (but did NOT change) some advanced settings pages, including the 'hidden' HTC network info page ( *#*#4636#*#* ). Again, however, I didn't change anything -- unless by accident?!
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Anyone know if I may have inadvertently changed something and can change it back (a setting that would persist in the hardware through NANDROID restores and factory resets...). Or, any other advice to restore the cellular service connection to normal?
I've tried a full NANDROID restore (multiple times) to a working copy, and a factory reset. I have limited access to a PC since I'm traveling, so re-flashing the VZW firmware or stock recovery or lollipop/verizon RUU would be challenging.
I did spend a good 45 minutes (at a library, my only PC access!) searching the forums and web, but to no avail.
Settings information:
OPperator Name: Verizon
Signal Strength -114 (I've had better but still have the same issues)
Mobile Network type: LTE
Service state: In service
IMS service state: Not Registered
Roaming: Not Roaming
Phone Identity page:
IMEI shows up (15-digit number...how can I verify I didn't mess this up?)
Phone Number is correct
IP Address: 100.66..... (looks good)
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
Same here
I'm having the same issue. When i try to make a call my LTE bars drop to nothing and it says call failed no network available. Any ideas or help would be nice. I was using venom rom as well. I'm currently trying to flash the newest RRU to see if that resets things. I'm wondering if it somehow my sim card. I took it from my droid turbo. I've made sure to turn off advanced calling on my VZW account though.

I had this same issue, running from ruu then rooted. I didn't noticed until I started seeing voice mail notifications but never heard the phone ring. When I tried to dial out I got the immediate call lost message. I couldn't figure what was causing it so I just did a reset. I made sure not to restore any systems data from prior to the Lollipop upgrade. At this point everything is working, the only thing I haven't installed yet is the xposed framework and sense 6 toolbox.

What kind of reset did you do? I know my issue is slightly different, but I did a full RUU-flash yesterday (latest lollipop version) and still no luck. Unfortunately I'm out of the country now and access to a computer is limited, and I don't even have a SIM card yet to check if cellular service would work anyway.
I do intend to do a flash of the stock recovery and radios once I have the time and access, but that may be a while...
Still, I'll keep checking this thread to see if anyone posts any other options

Just go into settings and to Backup & Reset , this will return your phone to a fresh install and remove all non bundled apps.
Before doing the reset try going into Settings then Call then change Preferred Network to Global, or toggle from LTE then back to Global.

[Q] LG Nexus 5 fails to recognize celullar network

Hello,
I have a Nexus 5 phone that came with Kitkat a few months back. The phone worked without issues until I decided to update to Lollipop 5.0 (OTA update) at the end of November. Initially the phone started to have troubles to detect the network at certain times - typically "playing" with the settings "Preferred network type" by changing from 4G to 2G, restarting, letting the phone detect the network on 2G mode and change back to 3G or 4G would fix the problem. The issue became more and more frequent until a point where i can not change the "Preferred network type" from 4G to any other type (as if it is "glued" on that setting). At this point my phone does not recognize at all the cellular network but It does seem to recognize the SIM card since i need to enter the 4 digit code to unlock SIM and it displays the network name, just no service.
I've researched the internet and I've tried several things but nothing seems to fix it such as restart mobile, change to airplane mode and back, take out and re-insert SIM card, request new SIM card from operator. The APN settings seem to be OK.
I've noticed that a new 5.1 version just came out and although I was not fully familiar with the process i decided to give it a try (after reading several instructions) and update manually (using factory images posted) and see if that would fix it. The phone is now with version 5.1 and still can't recognize the cellular network - no service. Everything else works fine, including Wi-Fi.
Has anyone experienced such issue after OTA update? The only odd thing I can think of is that I did the initial OTA update to 5.0 in US while i was on travel from Europe, but I can't say if this would in some way contribute to the issue. The mobile is D821 model.
Since I was stuck and mobile is within warranty period, I have sent it to service repair. I would be interested to know ideas of what could be the issue cause.
Sorry for long message, any help would be very much appreciated.

Mobile Network Not Available

Hi folks,
This is my first post on here. I'm having a problem with my phone which I think is quite unique and I hope someone on here can help me fix it before I buy a new device.
I have a galaxy nexus (maguro) running cyaogenmod.
Previously I was running CM11 (cm-11-20141115-SNAPSHOT-M12-maguro) from the CM website and updated it to CM12.1 cm-12.1-20160719-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO8DL-maguro) a few weeks ago.
When I rebooted my phone it was running very slow (and getting very warm) so I did a factory reset and re-installed CM12.1.
It started working ok but I noticed that my phone was displaying 'emergency calls only' even though the network reception in the status bar was full, displaying 'H' (3g) and allowing me to connect to the internet using 3G.
Whenever I make a call it states 'Mobile network not available' and I cannot send text messages.
I tried phoning O2 and they gave me a new sim but the problem was still happening. I then tried putting my girlfriend's EE sim into the phone and I could make calls/send messages. I also went to France on holiday and could use my phone to phone/text using my O2 sim abroad. Whenever I put my O2 sim into another phone I can make calls and text.
So basically it is only when my O2 sim is specifically in the Galaxy Nexus that I cannot make calls/send texts but can still use 3g.
Oh yeah when I go to Settings>Mobile Network Settings>Network Operators the following available networks are shown:
O2-UK
T-Mobile UK
3 UK
vodafone UK
Orange
When I select O2-UK is states 'cannot connect at this time. Please try again later'
I've tried re-installing the older version of CM11 and today I tried wiping the entire phone (internal sd card etc) and it is still happening. Can anyone help? Is there something else I can wipe, or setting I can change?
Thanks in advance

P905 International Version, GSM works only, not registered network issue on LTE

Hi all,
I was using my P905 international version with LTE before my EU trip.
In EU, I lost the 4G connection in roaming. When i came back to home country, i found out LTE is not working, when i attempt to make a call, i get not registered network message and lose connection.
But I have phone function and EDGE internet in GSM only mode.
IMEI number is correct, and it is same as original.
Try to solve problem, I made factory reset more than 10 times. I installed Hong Kong, Taiwan region roms Kitkat and Lollipop, even Lineage os from here. But no luck, no LTE anymore.
When i play around with *0011# and Q > 0000>UE Settings & info > setting>Protocol>
I receive 4G connection for a while then I lose it again.
I tried Auto/Manual Network Choose too, nothing works but GSM only.
I checked EFS files, everything seems correct, no corrupted file there as I understand.
Do you guys have any idea how to solve LTE connection problem?
I think i found a solution. Not sure.
I download the CP / MODEM file from following link.
https://zfirmware.com/samsung-galaxy-note-pro-12-2-p905-repair-firmware/
I made hard reset from the system. I delete user files and reinstall it.
4G and 3G came back. Now it is connecting to 4G and can make phone calls. But the connection drops after 10 mins. I need to turn off mobile connection and reconnect it. It connects for few minutes or never.
I need to restart the device and getting 4G or 3G connection for a while again.
When it connects to 4G or 3G, if it is stable connection, I can make phone call too and does not receive not registered on network error.
Should I install Stock Rom again? or try to play with some config files?
Do you have any idea?
no idea?
is there anyone has nv_data files in EFS folder? I think mine is missing.
Hi, I have the same problem.

did you try to do anything?
we need help here. Is there anyone can help us?
I do not want to give up with my P905.
no help?
do you have any idea to have stable 4G? Only LTE mode is not stable. I tried. Now GSM/WCDMA/LTE mode is running but, LTE is dropping very often. I get stable connection with other Samsung Device.
as i see, there is no help. I am changing to T835 256gb LTE version.

S10e is losing connection to mobile network

Hello!
I have this s10e from Verizon and it is network unlock (I talked to Verizon to confirm this), well I bought it new and as soon as I turn it on, it started to upgrade to Android 11. All the update went without any issue, anyway when update was completed. I inserted my SIM card and I did not connect to the mobile network. I went to settings and open connections > Mobile networks change from Global to LTE/GSM/UMTS and manual to select the network. Network selected and I got the message "Can't register on the network" , I try again and it connects but after some minutes it lost the signal and got the message "Unable to connect, try later"
I have try several options, all with the same result, it connects for a while then it lost the connection and it won't reconnect until I try it manually...
These is what I have tried (not ordered in the way I tried them)
- Network Reset (including APN reset to default)
- Manually select the network (I go from Global to LTE/GSM/UMTS and backwards)
- Pull out the SIM, turn off the cell, insert SIM turn it on. When phone turns on sometimes it connects immediately to the mobile network but after it completes the initialization, the cell disconects.
- Erase the cache from the Phone app.
- Wipe cache
- Factory reset
I know it is not the phone because I have a Verizon SIM card and when I inserted it, the cell works flawless, actually since I'm out of USA, the cell connects to the same mobile network (on roaming) I'm trying to use with my SIM card. So I was thinking of downgrade to Android 11 but I found some threads where they reported the same issue (with Android 10) but no solution or they pointed to the workarounds I already tried so I don't think it is an Android 11 bug.
Does anyone knows something about this? any workaround?
Thank you!!

Just guessing as your have already tried many things.
Maybe you still have Verizon CSC installed what works fine with the Verizon SIM card, but leads to unstable mobile connection with another SIM card.
To check, download unbranded firmware for your region and flash it with Odin on PC via USB cable to your phone.
Use the CSC file ... Not the Home_CSC. This will wipe your data.
How this will help.
