I had searched prior to this post but no definitive answers were found
Phone: VZW S3 running BeansROM 14 (and formerly 15). Android 4.1.2.
As the title says, Network Mode has disappeared from Settings>More Settings>Mobile Network>Network Mode. I just re-flashed build 14 yesterday and it's disappeared already. Why did it disappear? Normally it wouldn't make any difference but I'm planning to take my phone to Europe in July and I need to be able to switch it to GSM/Global.
I have Phone Info as well but that hasn't been working properly either; I can switch some CDMA options but it gets stuck on the previous selection and never switches back to 4G/LTE. Only the option in Network Mode can reset it.
Is there a solution to this? Thanks.
Edit 1: It seems to be something caused by Phone Info. I have Phone Info installed, haven't opened it, and Network Mode is still there. I'm also back on build 15.

So out of nowhere, my HTC Sensation no longer connects to the network. I would get roughly around 5 mbps around my house, but just all of a sudden, it stopped working. I tried rebooting the phone, and turning on/off airplane mode, and it just doesn't seem to be working. Anyone have any more tips before I try and factory resetting? Also i think I may be experiencing a bug because every time I open any app, I get a very quick glimpse of the weather instead, and then the app opens up. Thanks
What was your previous phone with t-mobile? If you don't have an "android plan" it seems that T-mobile is blocking you from data.
Check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1128335&highlight=data&page=5
I had the same problem two days ago and had to do a factory reset to solve the problem.
Previous phone was MyTouch 3g, so I'm sure I'm on an android plan
Thanks for the link, I'll check it out
Don't assume it's your phone. It's possible that service in your area is down. If you have another t-mobile phone check to see if it has reception. Next go into settings, wireless&networks, and select mobile networks. Then choose network operators and select automatically. If nothing comes up I would call t-mobile because resetting your phone.
Hi,
I have a 32GB Nexus5 with Android 4.4.2. It was rooted. Last night all of the sudden the phone froze up on me and when I turned it off and back on it had deleted everything in the phone and just booted up as if the phone was new (Hard Reset maybe?). That was weird. But once it booted up for some reason my phone can't find any signal. It just has a blank signal icon on the top right corner. I switched sim cards with a few friends and its not the SIM Card. I added the APN Settings for my carrier (Straight Talk) and still nothing.
It's the first this ever happened. Today I flashed back a stock 4.4.2 image to my Nexus5 and set up the phone again but still can't get any network coverage. It's as if the antenna or something got damaged out of the blue.
I'm also including screenshots of the home screen highlighting the blank signal icon and screenshots of the Phone Status page that highlight that the mobile network is unknown and other information.
If anyone has any idea what this could be, please let me know

Have you gone into the carrier menu and checked the settings are right?]
dial
*#*#4636#*#*
turn the radio off and put your settings the way they should be depending on your service and carrier
select the band option and put it to the country and then save restart radio and reboot.
If this doesnt work then perhaps the files that contain the IME (i forget what they are called) blew out.
When I had my nexus s I kept a backup of them because it was pretty regular for people to accidentally delete them
good luck

So the IMEI number for my Nexus 5 right now is 0. I called Google and they already sent me the RMA Form and will be getting a new Nexus5. However, I'm still curious as to why this may have happened all out of the blue and what steps I can take in the future to limit the chances of this happening again?
Btw... I tried to turn off the radio and continually pressed the button but never got a confirmation that it had turned off.
Best thing to do is backup your efs. And make it available to be flashed

As the the title suggests,
My dad's boss purchased this phone and while it works with any sim you place in it, upon turning the phone on, it basically summarises the following,
You have inserted a USIM that is not part of LG U+, and as such will be data locked.
(not word for word quote)
Now I take this to mean that the phone was carrier locked to Koreas LG U+, but the phone works here, and phone calls, and 3g speeds, but no 4G/LTE.
The current firmware version on it is 4.4.2 with I believe G900LKLU1AND3_G900LLUC1AND3_LUC
Now I've tried many different things to try and fix this;
I've read that 4.3+ version is bootlocked, (not exactly sure what this changes)'
I've tried flashing an Australian SM-G900I firmware (thinking the bands will be fixed, as its a software not hardware issue as far as I can tell)
Upon trying this, Odin throws a failed error, the download mode on the phone freezes, I can reboot it, and it's all good and dandy.
I then looked around and found that its possible to put in a SIM unlock code, however I query how that would work as the sim already works, just not LTE/4G
I tried Chainfires Region Unlocker (yes I know it said only tested on Note 3), which said succeeded, but actually did not enable 4G.
And I also saw a rumour that, if you place a phone call for 5+ minutes it will unlock said phone restrictions. In the phone logs it does show a phone call occurred previously before this phone was purchased, not sure if it was 5 minutes, but this may have been the case.
I'm stumped as to what can be done to flash this phone (or whatever can be done) in order to force it to allow the LTE/4G Networks,
Just to re-cap for the tl;dr,
4G/LTE not connecting as the phone mentions it restricts it due to being a NON-LG U+ SIM upon turning the phone on.
Please help ?

Hi
I also have g900L and had issue with LTE at the beginning But I resolved the issue by the following;
Please dial 319712358 and they will show you a box where you need to enter password then enter 0821.
This will lead you to the hidden menu page where you can find network mode where you can switch it to 4g mode.

I will pass this info on to the guy that owns this phone (my dad's boss) and hopefully all good,
Thanks man ,
Will post back here once I find out if it works on his phone.
Hi, just wanted to let people know I've had this same issue. Bought a G900L online and the network would connect to Optus' 4G/LTE for a few minutes at start up then will automatically go back to 3g. The solution above seems to have allowed my phone to lock to the 4g network.
Thanks
As stated I'm using the LG G5 H830 T-Mobile variant. I am getting 4G LTE data connection and everything runs well (Not in any WiFi range) Yet for SMS and calling as well as mobile hotspot I get "No USIM card' error. This happened after wiping the system and formatting data. Rebooted recovery (as per instructions on forum) then installed the stock firmware & Patch with systemless root and xposed. After this I did factor reset when just pulling the sim didn't help. Still nothing. I reflashed just the stock firmware with TWRP and SuperSU and issue is still happening. I've disabled rebooted and enabled the phone radio. SIM is in good condition and tray as well everything is SECURE and should be good to go.
I'm assuming a new SIM might be a solution. But I'm not counting on it and with Labor Day tomorrow for me I wouldn't be able to pick one up for 2 days. So here I am...hoping someone might have a fix. I know I don't have many posts on here. But I am an experienced user....just not with the more basic of problems I guess
Thanks!!
Has anyone else experienced this yet? I'm just curious...I had it fixed for a couple days. I've formatted data and done complete system wipe. Tried it resetting phone with the COMPLETE zip and TOT using LGUP. I'm receiving texts. Not calls. Not able to send either. I've activated new sim, didn't help. LG support just told me to look into warranty. T-Mobile needless to say just wanted. Sim card does show stock tmobile short code contacts but phone number shows as unknown. Hotspot won't work. I've tried setting the phone number to the sim. Nothing.
Anyways. I don't think I messed with anything, even so I've done everything to start the phone from scratch. Going to replace it, just more or less curious at this point and maybe others have had the same issue.
I believe I had the same issue as you and it was driving me crazy. I was constantly wiping data, system, etc but my phone kept giving the message "roaming indicator off" where it should show the name of the carrier. This resulted in me having LTE data and that's it- no 3g, no phone calls, etc. I couldn't even access the mobile network menu.
What ended up causing the issue was the network mode setting under wireless networks. Keep in mind at this point I'm running a patched rom which now gives more options in the network mode menu than the phone came factory with. I have an area at work where I have to switch to 3g, GSM/wcdma preferred network setting, because although I have full LTE signal, my connection goes dead. When switching back from 3g I chose the setting lte/CDMA thinking this would force my phone to stay in lte mode due to another area on an upper floor where the phone will constantly drop lte.
Anyways this resulted in my phone saying roaming indicator unavailable, the inability to make or receive phone calls, and either the mobile networks or network mode menus being grayed out. When stuck in this mode there is no way to put the phone back into the standard "GSM/wcdma/lte" mode. Even a complete reflash won't fix it. I even used lgup, which worked for maybe a day until it force closed the phone app and went back to roaming indicator unavail. I wiped every partition and even reflashed radio firmware. Nothing worked.
What ended up fixing it was using an app called v10 hidden settings which allowed me to access the network mode menu directly and re-choose the lte/wcdma/GSM setting. Incidentally on first access to this menu through the app there are only two network settings available. Once you choose a GSM setting, the rest appear.
I'm not sure if this was your issue but I hoped this helped because this took me about a week to workout.

So having a strange issue hoping someone can help me with.....
Woke up this morning phone was working, since my phone was charged I turned off "Battery Saver Mode" and after i did that I lost network connection. After checking that the network wasn't just down I began by flashing to stock flashing "3CRE2", thinking maybe something in the software no go.
Decided to apply the stock updates, I did this for awhile to no avail.
When I hit update 29 I think it is, the update right before the newest update, magic!!!! It started working and saw 4g LTE icon and had bars. Thinking that it was finally fixed I went ahead and installed the newest update which was pie thinking all was good. And yet again lost connection again.
Im getting "NO SIM CARD" on the lockscreen. Also, when I go to Network Mode I can't change from "Global" to "LTE/CDMA"
I went to Verizon got a new sim still no luck.
Any advice???
-------------------------------------------------------
-What is the dialer code or is there an app to force the network type to LTE/CDMA?
-Does anyone have a pit file for the v5 bootloader?
TLDR:; Cant get phone to connect to cell tower, says no sim card but got new sim card. Can't change the network settings from global to lte/cdma
