Hi,
My Nexus S is having a strange issue that when turn the phone on it picks up that I'm on Orange UK but from then on it says emergecy calls only or no service but shows signal in the status bar. If I try and call someone I get no mobile network messages but I can get a data connection and use the Internet although very slowy. Strangest thing is that if I put no sim card in the status bar still shows signal.
I've tried different radios and tried both Offical stock 2.3.4 and CM7 7.1.0 but same results, I've also tried turning 3g off but I'm now out of ideas so can anyone give me some tips please?
Thanks
Can you give specifics? Phone model, Baseband version (found in Settings >> About phone). Not all radios are the same and you can end up bricking the phone flashing wrong radio version.

You cant brick your phone flashing the wrong radio....youll just have to have the correct radio as a back up. I flashed every radio for the nexus s and its not bricked.
Anyway, the standard radio the i9020a comes with is the UCKF1 or KB3 as I have heard. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884 is where you will find the radios. Just flash the correct one. How you will know whats the correct one is it will be stated after the phone model. for example I9020AUCKF1 the A after I9020 is for the carrier ATT and after the thats the radio it came with. just reflash the correct radio through CWM and you should be ok. If not PM and I will help you further

Flashing I9023 radio on I9020 will brick the phone as it may not even boot into recovery, fastboot may not work too. Just a word of caution.

What the next step would be is to try a new sim card. Go to your carrier and ask for a new one. If same results then its the phone and I'll assist you more.
Don't forget the thanks button.

Managed to borrow someones sim card at work today and it was the same result so it does seem to be a hardware problem now.

Yes. That would seem to me like the problem. I'm sure you restored your phone and completely wiped the SD? Also did you try pulling out the battery while the phone was on wait 30 seconds try turning the phone with out the battery then put the battery back in and turn it on? I'm sure you have done that you seem like a decently tech savvy fellow.
I've called Samsung before and I hate to say it but their repair policy is horrendous. You'll need another phone cause you'll be without yours for 2-4 weeks. They want to send "you your original phone back." Even their battery exchange is the same. You send your bad battery to them. They receive it process it then send you a new one. Motorola and apple have their repair department to be easy and quick which is what the consumer wants. More so apple cause you can go right to the local store and get a new one in 10 minutes. Motorola takes 2 days. Better than Samsung still.
Thats it for my rant! Just wanted to give you a heads up of what you will hear. Hope it all works out.

yea, try flashing a CDMA radio on a GSM phone and see how that works out for you!
edit: actually, this sounds exactly like the ns4g i bought the other day. try making an emergency call and see what happens. really, that's how i fixed mine.

I've had a similar issue in the past. Restoring my EFS made it work again.
But before that issue, I also had another problem where no amount of radio flashing and EFS fiddling would fix it. Sent it to Samsung and it came back with a form with a hand written note saying "BGA failure".
So I imagine this problem is more common than it might seem. *shrugs*
Restoring the EFS would have been one of my first moves but I was given the phone in this state with no backups made.
Just crossing my fingers that Samsung doesn't charge me a king's ransom to repair it.

I have noticed that some of my calls are not coming through. The past few days people have tried to call me, but said they got a busy signal. The phone never even rang. I also got an email today from a potential employer who said they called twice today... The phone was sitting on my desk right in front of me all day, and nothing. Is this happening to anyone else? What can be done to fix it? Im not in a place where im not getting service so I dont understand why its doing this?
Also, the other day I was having car issues and needed to call someone, when I went to call someone the phone showed the dialing screen, but never started to ring. I tried hanging up and redialing, but nothing worked. I had to shut down my phone and restart it. I can only imagine what would have happened if I really couldnt call out finally....
Really starting to hate this phone.

It sounds like a reception. Do you have good signal? What about Wi-Fi calling?
I have never had that and have had nothing but the sweetest reception, I do get dropped calls but that's T-mobile for ya.
All day I have between 3-4 bars of service, so im not sure what the problem is
Im also having trouble calling out. Ill dial the number, and the phone will beep and disconnect the cal. I have 3 out of 4 service bars....

Try replacing your sim card? Or if you're on stock then call T-Mobile might be a hardware issue.

Do you think switching to your rom might help? I want to try it but I'm waiting for the final version. I did have my sim replaced a few years ago by T-Mobile. I know they had to transfer all my stuff on to a new one. I have one laying around, is there anything I need to do to get it to work? Like switch my number to it?
You might want to try cleaning the metal contacts of your sim card with a pink eraser.

If you're on stock I think your best bet is to either get sim replaced before flashing cus if its a hardware issue then you will have to get it replaced.
As for the sim card if it's new then just call them and they'll activate it if it's used before then it won't work anymore and you'll have to buy one

I called Tmobile a few weeks ago and had them activate a new sim card I had. Didnt have this issue until just today when I tried to make a call and got "call ended" everytime I tried to call out. What else could the problem be? Im running your rom now also...
Is anyone else having this issue? Its getting really annoying! I had to dial my friend 5 times before it actually went through.
Found this thread where it describes perfectly whats going on with my phone.. http://forum.xda-developers.chttp:/...editpost&p=29453252om/showthread.php?t=630652 Seems like Gingerbread phones are experiencing this more...

Yeah, I just didnt want to do the "call tmobile and sit on the phone with them for an hour to troubleshoot" crap... Ugh...
Called Tmobile and they ended up screwing my phone up even more with their "troubleshooting" Told me to do a factory reset, but since I have a custom ROM, it just screwed more up. Now I cant even swipe past the unlock screen and there is no reaction to my touch. At least its finally screwed up enough to get them to send out a replacement. Now im trying to revert back to complete stock so I can send this one back to them when my new one arrives. So I guess problem solved in a way..

Ever since day one (start of August or so) I've been having a few problems with this phone. At first, I thought it was just the network or maybe the recipient's network. Then I realize it may very well be the Blaze itself.
The problem I'm facing is this...
Almost every time I try to make a phone call I can't hear anything. No dialing sound audio. No person on the other line... just nothing. The phone does go through, but I can't hear anything. I don't use any BlueTooth device. I have to wait several minutes or reboot my phone several times in order for the calls the work properly. This issues has been going on from GB (stock, no root) to ICS (stock, no root) until now that I'm flashing the phone to see if I can fix it (currently using PA's latest version as ROM). I thought the updated radio from ICS would fix it but to no avail. Goes to say, this issue happens to my father, too (same phone, got them for free when we started the contract).
This has caused an annoyance for both me and for friends.
Anybody else experiencing this? Any ideas as to why this happens?
IDK if this helps but I'm from Puerto Rico.

Tell you what, I have been having the same problem. Make sure you call tmobile and complain! They are telling me that this is not a known issue and there are no complaints on it. I had a detailed complaint filed. I sent my phone back, got another one and it is worse than the first with this issue! Another strange thing is that it will suddenly make doubles of my custom ringtones and one of the files doesn't work. It defaults to generic ringtone. Very glitchy. Sometimes, will still show that the custom notification tone is selected but will play default tone. I am sending this one back too. I am really bummed to hear that rooting did not fix the issue on the phone calls. I was actually considering doing this next...... Really hope the next phone doesn't have this issue. I like the Blaze and don't know of another tmobile phone that is comparable to replace it with.
ditto
I have the same problem I believe. I currently dorm near the Bay Area, California. I haven't been able to hear or reply through my calls even though they connect to the other person's phone. This isn't exactly a signal problem because the phone still has bars and I can still tell when someone is trying to call me. I still receive texts, use wifi, and sound is working perfectly fine. I am glad I am not the only one with these problems.
edit: This whole "unable to hear or speak" into the mobile phone problem began around November 22nd (thanksgiving overload?).
I am using CyanogenMod 9, rooted of course.
edit2: So I just tinkered around with the sim card and battery by taking it out and waiting for a minute or two before putting it back in. Voila! I can now hear my voice mail.
Sounds like Handset issues with me... send them back and have them send you new ones... that's some BS if it is doing that Stock.
Just my opinion... being through a lot of phone and that is what it sounds like. just one mans opinion... cheers

I would be better off getting a new, better phone, it seems. It is quite annoying. Either way I voided my warranty by flashing. I don't suppose I can actually return it back to stock (like, literally returning to stock and unrooting and wiping and formatting every data) so I can still give it back... can I?
PS: Thanks for the replies.

I got my third phone from tmobile the other day (all Blaze) and my very first phone call it happened on. To add to what someone else said. The phone shows plenty of signal strength and in fact, if I hang up and call right back the call goes through as it should. This from sitting in the exact same spot. I can't figure out what's going on? I had thought on this and realized that I had been turning off apps on the phone that I don't use (pre loaded junk). On the off chance that had something to do with it I turned them all back on. Still does it. I'd say it is a good 30-35% of my calls that this happens on. Very frustrating. I really like this phone but it won't function as a phone for me. I guess now they have to give me a different phone if I return this one too but I don't know what phone is comparable in size and function. I picked this phone specifically for the size. My wife got an s3 and I was not interested in it at all due to how big it is. This sucks.
I have to chime in. i just bought the blaze for my g/f, and i've using an sgh-t989 (galaxy s2), having the same issue you are describing. stock radio, stock ROM, just rooted.
Such a shame considering it is such a great phone for the price it is offered at. Safe to assume it is a hardware problem?

Are you saying that you are having this problem with the blaze or the s2? Both?
Both phone are having this behavior. new SIM used in both phones aswell.
Yeah, I went down and switched out my sim card as well. My wife has an s3 and has no problems so I don't know what's up? Shows signal but calls won't connect properly. Hang up and call back, it works. Huge pain when I am driving or short on time though.
Any fix this problem found? I talked to samsung and t-mobile today, samsung was no help at all and t-mobile asked me to master reset it. Once that didn't work they offered a warranty exchange. Any one have luck correcting the issue?
So far? No. But my phone seems to be behaving for the past few days (3). Which is weird. I'm probably jinxing it right now.

Restart during a call, the handset will not send sound.
Maybe they got a bad batch of Blaze 4G's. NOT making an excuse for them but I know it's happened in this business and others.... If I were u I wouldn't keep on dealing, hats to your patience. Let know where you're at. I've flashed to CM 10 nightly 20121207 and my Blaze is just damn sexy lmao, "figure of speech" good luck brought cheers

Whas ROM are you using? ICS and gingerbread have a call preference switch in settings. Set it to data preferred. Cm 10 has a lte switch in settings use it. Battery apps can cause delay in data connect. Try these and let me know how it works.
Well, last night I decided to simply reboot my nexus 5. That's it.
After it came back up i no longer had a signal or connection. I figured, huh that's weird so i rebooted again to no changed. Not long after the rom I was running Purity, started to boot loop and crash and loop. So i knew something was up.
I noticed my IMEI wasn't showing, so i was even more concerned. I wiped my phone completely, and got a factory image back on it. New recovery, and everything. Fastboot flashed a custom stock 4.4.3 rom, and the new radio, and nothing.
It boots fine, loads fine but cannot get a god damn signal. Just empty. It says when i try to call to turn airplane mode off, but it's off.
My IMEI does now show, just says service state - Radio off, unknown phone number, and disconnected mobile state. Went to T-mobile and they gave me a new SIM and no change.
I'm going to fastboot flash back to stock 4.4.2 and see if any change.
Any suggestions fellas? Could use some help here.

well went to Tmobile, and they gave me a new SIM, but didn't work. So random for a failure on a restart, but Tmobile is sending me a new Nexus 5 overnight shipping with a prepaid label. Just have to send the old one back. And they are discounting my service for a few days too.
sucks without a phone though, now i'm backing my Nexus 7 up just in case **** like this happens again.

Honestly it appears to me that you're really lacking technical knowledge and moral integrity.
You were given a second phone after you voided the warranty on the first one and rendered it unusable. The first thing you do is void the second one and basically brick it again. It's really lame and I kind'a hope T-Mobile notices it. Sorry mate.
Not here to scold....
Just advice....
Don't do anything to the next one until you read read read....then do some reading. I suggest all relevant stickies. Learn exactly what you are doing. Then read instructions fully and only then......do. ?
Any news?
Hi everyone,
it's been 2 days i don't have signal. I lost it without even rooting/unlocking the bootloader. I called Rogers to know what was the problem but they think its the phone. The problem is that Telus sim card works properly... Band/Radio problem?
If you guys have any news of what is going on... It would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Then the rogers sim could be defective, or your APN settings are incorrect/missing. That would be my guess.

Unfortunately, the sim card has been tested(works fine on a old blackberry) and another rogers sim card has been tested and doesnt work either.
At least, I know that a telus sim card works fine.

honestly, i don't lack any technical knowledge.
i followed the stickies here to the letter. it's a refurbished unit that t-mobile said was defective at the store.
i read, and read, and read some more, and understand it all now, i have everything down to the core, i bookmarked every important thread relevant here.
i hate people like you that assume I have no integrity or knowledge, i never caused the 1st one to fail, it just happened. the 2nd wasn't my fault either it just failed out of the box.
Had anyone noticed that OEM Unlock is now available for Verizon Note 5 customers???
Sorry buddy. Not that simple. That option has been there from day one. It just allows a Verizon specialist to now enter a code to unlock your phone (which they would never do anyway). Just pushing it will not unlock the bootloader. Our devs would have been smart enough to figure that one out.

That is interesting because when I select it, it doesn't ask for a code. And I can confirm previously that this option was greyed out and not accessible. Now it is. I'm fighting phone issues (On my second Note 5 which is being warranted and a third one being shipped to me. 3rd phone now in three months. So its quite frustrating without titanium backup). First one was S Pen broke inside phone and the second one, my phone has seizures (constant charge/discharge cycle, red X on battery icon, Gear VR keeps popping up, when the original charge cord is plugged into it or placed onto a wireless charging pad. After a few reboots and cache clearing it will behave for a while until its charged again. This last time, it factory reset itself.

I had all those problems myself (except the spen) along with some Bluetooth issues I'm still having. 3rd phone here as well. And then when I say this phone is a dud people get mad at me and start crying. Oh well.
It doesn't ask you for a code it just unlocks the capability of said code to do anything upon being entered. Of course you are more than welcome to try it out and see if you can achieve root. Just don't say I didn't warn ya. [emoji6]

So, the seizure one you've had?!? Verizon said that was unheard of

Nope. I had it and the lady said she has seen it before so exchanged it no questions asked. My new one has a Bluetooth problem. Music keeps cutting in and out if phone is in pocket or any pressure is placed against the area of the phone where the camera is located. I'm guessing that's where the radio is. They sent me a new one again but that had the same problem plus location issues so I said **** it and sent it back. They all have some issue or another.

The seizure is due to a defect in the charging port. On few devices it randomly detects a cable inserted which is not really there and screws everything up.

Thank you! I kept on wondering WTF was wrong with this thing. The USB port is now dead. Won't recognize anything.
