No Mobile Network Available - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Please help me out here - I'm not new to flashing ROMs but this is new to me.
I was on Dirty Unicorns 4.3 AOSP ROM. All was great until I turned off mobile data to save battery. Upon turning back on, I was only in 3g. I switched my network over to LTE/CDMA/3vdo, and LTE came back. All was fine again until later that day.
Suddenly I couldn't make a call, or send a text. This has been like this for hours now. My IMEI is not zero, so that isn't the issue. What else could be the issue? I try calling someone and it says no mobile network available. However I just received a text and also I can use mobile internet just fine.
I've also tried restoring to a previous ROM and that didn't work. What gives?

Keep searching, this issue has been reported multiple times and there's an answer somewhere. I don't use AOSP roms, but maybe look in the CM10.2 Q&A and see if there's a specific fix for this issue when this happens.

Just some more details...
My IMEI is fine.
My network is on "LTE/CDMA/evdo"
I do NOT have roaming bars.
My mobile network comes in and out randomly. If it's showing bars, my calls get stuck at "dialing" and never go through. If I don't have bars, it just said "mobile network not available."
My phone number shows up fine in the "about phone" section.
Every thread I see for fixing this is slightly different - I have my IMEI and I have no roaming signal... so I don't want to follow instructions for a different issue. Anyone have any ideas?

Well, here's an update:
Verizon is at fault. Towers are down in my area. That explains why this made no sense. I'm glad I didn't wipe my phone yet! :thumbup:

Makes sense to me. Had the classic signs. When in doubt call Verizon. The first message will be that they are having problems in your area.

Wondering if I'm having the same problem. I'm in nj and have "network unknown" but all the telephony features work fine....

Mobile network keeps turning off?

Sometimes when connected to 4G, I will lose data entirely. When I check wireless settings, the mobile network says turning on and won't do anything. A reboot fixes it but it is annoying.
Anyone else experience this?
BAMF Stripped 1.8 w/ leanKernel
yeah me too....actually I have no data at the moment.
*edit Ok now I've moved up to 1x...... WHOOOOOOOOO!

It's Verizon working on their network. People keep trying to troubleshoot it as a software problem, it's a network problem.

Same thing was happening to me all morning. I'm glad to see I am not the only one having this issue. As usual, Verizon Tech support said that there was no issues on their end.

Would that show the phone being unable to turn on the mobile network entirely? Seems weird but I guess I will wait a few days.
i had this too alot when running a froyo radio. i went to mr2.5 and haven't had the issue since.
I was about to ask if anyone was having any weirdness with 4G today... I tested my speeds using the speakeasy website and the upload speeds were fine (2.5-3Mbps) but the download speeds were incredibly slow, under 1 Mbps every time I tried. Guess it's issues with verizon testing the network.

4g fine in chicago 22mbps down, 4 mbps up, speedtest browser test.
the problem is the mobile hotspot software. just download the open garden wifi tether on the market
Yeah I'm having the same problem. I went to VZW and they are sending me a replacement phone. I usually run CM7 but that's an extra pain to get data back. Hopefully this problem is resolved soon.

Data has been sketchy at best in SLC today. It's getting a bit annoying to say the least.

Definitely big red doing work... CSR's aren't informed about that stuff, and yes, our 3g, 4g, and even 1x operate on a new section of the network.... If it persists use the modem settings @ ##778# edit mode, password 000000, turn revA on....

All incoming calls going straight to voicemail

This started happening 3 days ago.. My gf had to call me 8 times last night before she got through to my phone.. I don't know wtf is causing this but i'm pretty sure its not the phone or ROM. Also at times incoming texts come in late.. My apn is set correctly.. Any help would be appreciated

When I'm blocking someone its on purpose and I use call master. If there is a problem with connectivity I can reset the radio layer or reset the telephony service. This might be an idea just to have the ability reset the radios at different levels in order to clarify the problem
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
How do I reset the radio? And I do not have anyone blocked or call forwarding enabled
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I use a call blocking app like call master or root call blocker. It allows in the setting to reset the radios individually.

Believe it or not removing the sim sometimes works as it registers/unregisters you from the network.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Just flashed stock radio and same issue.. Tried the Sim card removal twice last night too
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
edit----if nothing else helps try reflashing. If that doesn't work get new sim(no charge if you say it is defective ) make sure your reflash stock rom.
If that doesn't work, send in for trade under one year warrenty.

Thx but could it be a Rogers issue? Also is there a stock ROM that will get rid of clockworkrecovery?

are u in Canada or on rogers network? Did you flash an ATT from?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Yes im in canada on rogers network (rogers is only in canada) I flashed sky coke rom, before that was on quickwiz which i had no issues with
maybe that ROM had trouble with Rogers network. I would contact the developer and seek some sort of resolution
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Went back to a rogers based rom and same ****... which leads me to believe it aint the ROM or the phone.. ****
Is it prepaid? I know sometimes prepaid have issues
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
No its a monthly plan. I called up rogers tech support and he had me change the network mode to gsm only and he tried calling and it went through, then hspa and same thing with data on.. went to gsm/hspa/lte auto and with data on the call went through fine.. as soon as I got off the phone, I tried calling my number and calls stopped going.. (put it back to gsm only and it started working even with data on, but when its on LTE with data on is when it starts screwing up) does that mean when its connecting to an lte tower its messing up? Is that my phone's issue or the towers? Is there anything I can flash to the phone to see if the problem goes away.. already flashed stock radio but didnt help
Same issue here. Att user. Sky ics rom.

any fix??? it just started happening like four days ago and never had this issue before.
This is a known issue, at least in Canada with Rogers. It has nothing to do with what rom or Kernel you are using.
It appears that Rogers is having intermittent issues with the LTE network. It comes from the handoff between LTE and 4g when a voice call is received. After you hang up, you are supposed to go back to LTE automatically. But with this glitch sometimes the phone will get stuck and as a result you get no texts and calls going straight to voicemail.
You could try creating a new APN node for 3g/4g only and using that to see if it solves your problem while Rogers is actually becoming aware of the issue and fixing it.

Last night alone it took 40 minutes for a text from my wife's phone to arrive. And that was only because I turned my phone on and wifi kicked on!
Thank you for your response. So they are aware of this issue? Also, what should the settings be for a new APN?

Data drops

Hi guys,
Seems like I'm getting 4G data drops off T-Mobile. It connects for like, 7 seconds, then drops, then connects again. I've tried both radios and ROM's available (stock) and the same problem exists.
I'm going to return the phone as-is to the customer with the issue partly unresolved, mainly because it does connect voice and MMS, just the data has issues.
Any ideas before I give him the phone back?

Thank you for your reply! I will try that now.
There is a Zip that was created on the G2x forums that fixed the data drops on 4.0.4. O wonder if it would work for our phone given that it's a APN configuration. Hmmm...

Unfortunately, I still have the issue. I will return this cellphone to the customer and recommend talking to T-Mobile support or directly to the manufacturer. Thanks!

Go download it from the G2x forums and let us know how it went. Make sure to backup first, just in case.

Update: The creator of the APN fix confirmed that it should work on other T-Mobile phones. Has anyone tried it?
This is the link to the ROM, but obviously just scroll down and download the APN fix if you're having data drops and let us know how it goes:

Wifi Calling Error: ER04 "Unable to Connet"

Anyone encounter this message?
Previously the wifi calling worked fine until this morning. I am connected to a wifi network and everything else is working. Now I get this error message.
using Blaz3r2 ROM
I get this from time to time, cleared with a reboot or reset the wifi calling option in settings

All you have to do is go to settings - wifi- forget the network and reconnect and you will not have Error 04 anymore

I'm getting frequent Er081's on my TMobile Note Edge. I've tried 3 different ISPs with speeds from 10m-500m, tweaked the QOS and COS on each, multiple wifi's etc.
It will usually initiate the call. But it won't be long before call just drops, anywhere from 15-60 mins in. My calls are always long (>30mins), and I've yet to normally terminate a call. Of course I'm now getting asked what's going on.
On one occasion, the ER081 stayed on the drop-down and wouldn't go away until I rebooted phone (Edge).
IMHO this is a wonderful feature, but TMo is not ready for primetime on this one? Is it true Note 3's and older phones work fine?

No call or txt. Imei in tact

So I have a major problem. I am on beans 4 And have data but no call or text. The signal shows fill. And all the settings have my imei in tact and cell service state says in service. Any ideas?

You could download the phone info app from the play store and go into phone in for and make sure the drop down is set to LTE/CDMA/EvDO, or LTE/CDMA.
If that doesn't work, it may need to be reprovisioned.

My replacement S3 had the same problem. Spent over 4 hours on the phone with multiple reps and tried 2 different sim cards. We came to the conclusion that its a radio defect and I got another replacement overnighted to me, you should too.
Great. Thus will be fifth s3 from Verizon. .. I am not allowed to use insurance for another year. .. I had a couple stolen sans some doa. Thanks guys

If you go to settings-about phone-status... What does it say on your ERI?

Reprovision your phone. It may help. There's a dialer code that I can't remember at the moment, but you can Google it.

Eri version 5... I can receive texts. And cannot send them. I am a little afraid to reprovision. Kids there a chance I will lose my data and everything of I reprohision... also will I needed to be on stock recovery for this?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
thats what it should be. so everything sounds in tack. i say reprovision. even after i lost my imei and eri, i had to restore them both, still nothing. then reprovisioned and was fine.
I had the same problem. No calls or text. Verizon put in a ticket for me. But I decided to restore my IMEI even though it wasn't missing. It fixed the problem. Phone works fine now.
I fixed this problem

I had this exact problem. Did a re-provision and it fixed.
To re-provision type: *2767*3855# in dialer. When you press the # it immediately goes to reformat with no popup, so be aware before you go in. That's the only other suggestion I would have as far as possible data issues, I know mine is normal (and I'm in a slightly fringe 4G area - they are still testing the towers here, they aren't official yet)
