[Q] I lost my phone signal! - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys, today I received my Nexus 5, I tried an AOSP rom, but gps did't work, so I used "Nexus 5 restore" found somewhere here (in a 3ad with title ending with "dead or alive").
After this u ran CF-auto-root and I had no problem, I installed some apps like Lightflow, a sidebar and other simple thing I always used.
After this I installed TWRP for try a theme: I did "fastboot erase cache", "fastboot flash recovery twrp" and then erase cache again. I used TWRP file manager for find the zip theme file, I moved it into TWRP/theme renaming it ui.zip.
I rebooted my phone and then, while I was using my pc I noticed display was turned on (maybe I touched it for check notification, but I don't think) and looking at it i noticed I had no signal.
I tried to switch my SIM cards with my Htc One X, other phone still working, N5 still doesn't working.
I tried flashing D821 modem (my version) but with no success. If I try to select the provider inside android setting it still loading, trying to select band by "*#*#4636#*#*" secter menu I have the same result.
Can you help me pls?
P.S.: I have H3g Italy
EDIT: I also noticed I lost my languages from SwiftKey beta (ok, it is a beta, but it still working on my HOX, instead here I can't download languages again neither), and a notification saying something is trying to login to my google account, but if i click, it just disappear (I installed haxsync for facebook photos inside contact and maybe is it, but i don't think)

awesome...cleared Google Play Services data, no more error...tried to download a game, Play Store crashed and now i still having crash advice each time i close it...

[Q] Play Store keeps force closing

Last night I was trying to root and flash a custom rom to my tablet, I wasn't able to finish flashing the rom because I noticed Google Play Store wasn't opening. I couldn't download Rom Manager or any other apps for that matter. I was doing everything I could from clearing the cache, data, even wiping the data and cash in the fastboot mode and flashing another GApps to the tablet. Everything I've tried won't get me anywhere. It tells me to log in with an account, then immediately says: The application Google Play Store (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. I did try flashing a rom through fastboot mode, even though it didn't do anything, so I thought this might be the problem? I haven't tried anything else yet. Any help is appreciated.
EDIT: I have the SCH-i815 verizon 4G LTE tablet on stock android 3.2. It is rooted.
EDIT 2: I also noticed that Google Maps and other such apps are no longer on my device. I noticed that Google Services Framework (not sure of words) are on my other devices but not on this one. I tried going into the check for system update settings and it crashed giving me almost the same message as the Google Play Store crash force close message

I recall having FC issues with previous tabs. Repaired by Fixing Permissions in CWM.
HTH
Hi there,
If anyone still encountering FC/not dowloading apps for Playstore or market, it might also be the cause of new partition or something like that, you can try this another option freely other than fixing permission of vending.apk on /system/app/..
This might help you guys .
1. check if cache folder has "download" folder inside it, if it no download folder then create one inside /cache, e.g. mkdir /cache/download.
2. then chmod the /cache folder to 777, also make sure the com.android.vending folder is present inside /data/data/ folder.
3. You can achive it through shell terminal.
Hope this helps you guys fix the FC(Force close or not downloading apps on playstore or market).
Hit thanks if it helps.
Thanks

[Q] Lt18i problem in Google Play Store.

Hi everyone, i m new here.
I have faced a big problem nw.
First of all, i can't download app from Google Play Store properly. It keeps giving me a message 'XXX could not be downloaded due to an error 927'. For sometimes the download will run but it can't complete the download.
This starts to happen after i have install and run ' Vodafone Market Enabler *ADS* ' from Google Play Store. (Ok i admit that i m stupid to use an app that i even dunno how it works.)
Though i still can access to internet via Facebook or Browser, but i can feel that there is a different compared to before. (Eg. Sometime it will show 'can't connect to internet' when using Facebook and laggy when using Browser)
I have searched everywhere to find the solution and tried everything i can do, but the problem is still there.
Maybe buying a new phone could solve the matter but i really can't afford it.
I m using SE Xperia Arc S
Build number 4.1.B.0587
and it is rooted.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, I too have that phone and had the same prob
R u sure you logged in your google account
And no need for that app Vodafone market enabler
Waitin for ur reply
U can private message me ok
Ok, my phone is getting back to normal just now with no reason, or maybe i can say with don't know which is the reason is.
Let post my 'fixing route' below :
1. Run a 'Factory reset data' in Setting w/o Reset SD card. Problem is still there.
2. Update my phone to unroot it. Of course this is useless here.
3. Rooting my phone again. What m i doing... orz
...Starting to find any solution.
4. Clear data in Setting -> App -> Google Play Store(Force stopped), Google Play Services(Force stopped) and Google Services Framework(Force stopped). Remove my google account and add it back. Reboot. Problem is still there.
5. Uninstall updates of Google Play Store and uninstall Google Play Services. Problem is still there.
6. A solution here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20196766&postcount=14 but i don't know the way to find the .cache so i just leave it.
7. Remove the battery and SD card from phone and leave it about 5 seconds, then place in the SD card and the battery. Problem is still there.
8. A solution by boot into recovery mode and clear the cache and dalvic but my phone can't enter recovery mode so i passed it.
9. Run again 'Factory reset data' w/o Reset SD card. It starts to work as i finally can update my Facebook. After that everything goes back to could-not-be-downloaded-due-to-an-error-927 situation again.
10. Again, running 'Factory reset data' and now with 'Reset SD card'(of course important data is backed up). Problem is still there....
11. Frustrated, keep repeating cancel the download and re-download it. It works, Facebook updated and Root Checker installed. Then, once again it failed to download any other things.
12. About an hour pass then try again the '4th route'. But this time i just force stop and clear data of Google Play Store, Google Services Framework. Strange thing, i go to Google Play Store and it shows me 'Server error'. Restart phone. Google Play Store turns back to normal, but still failed to download.
13. Again after an hour, trying to download again, I found everything has going back to normal. Problem solved.
Though the problem was solved now, still i m scared this will happen again as what had happen in 9. and 11.
My apologies on my broken English.

[Q] (Google Play Store) Error retrieving information from server [RPC:S-7 :AEC-7]

Greetings,
I had some issues uninstalling xposed on my HTC One M8 that was recently updated to lollipop so I reverted back to a stock lollipop rom directly from Telus. Every time I try and download an app from the Play Store I get the following message.
"nameofapp" could not be downloaded due to an error. (Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-7 :AEC-7])
This is what I have tried so far:
- Clear cache on Google Play Services (Framework) and Google Play Store
- removed update from Google Play Store
- updated Play Store manually to newest APK
- rebooted in between these steps
- removed Google Account + cleared cache + all data for all Google Apps and services
Sometimes when I reboot it will let me update or download 1-3 apps, then it will just bring back that error. I'm at a loss as to what I should try as googling this error brings up the same solutions every single time. Other then this issue the phone itself appears to be functioning properly. My phone is unlocked and rooted but I do not have xposed or any other custom mods running. I'm also using the latest version of TWRP. I have also noticed that sometimes when I disconnect from wifi and attempt to download from 4G the download actually goes through. Not exactly a solution as I have limited data available to me. Any ideas?

Flash GApps via TWRP. If it doesn't help, bring your phone back to full stock, including flashing firmware + rom and make sure to format systen + data partition
before flashing the new rom.

Thanks for the help. I tried to flash the google apps but TWRP kept giving me errors that the package wasn't compatible with my phone. I located a nandroid of Telus lollipop stock and flashed that after I have formatted the system and data partitions as you have recommended. I dont believe I needed to do firmware as I have never had anything but stock firmware on the device. Everything appears to be functioning now as I can download and update from the play store once again.
Out of curiosity are you able to tell me why I encountered that issue? I cant seem to find exactly what that error even means. While i'm still very new to the android scene with flashing custom roms and device modification I have never once had that issue.
that is a "host" error, using a file manager, go to your /system/etc folder, open the "hosts" file, as a text file, and erase all.. except the local host:
Sorry bad english

"Device location for apps is turned off" message when I turn off location services

"Device location for apps is turned off" message when I turn off location services
"No location access, device location for all apps is turned off, and you may not be able to locate your device if its lost"
Every time I turn off location services I get this in a pop up, and its annoying and I'm wondering if there is a way to prevent this?
Thanks
Same here, solution? ='(
Hello,
The same for me... Is it a new problem, since it doesn't seem to have a lot of result when I google it ?
I just saw that, but I don't understand, they're talking about a beta program for google play store ?!
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS6/comments/60loyq/no_location_access/
I never subscribed a beta program on the play store...
And what did you do to have this message ? It appeared without doing anything, or not ?
For me, I flashed my Galaxy S4 with a new ROM (AOSP 6), with open gapps pico from 1st april. I was on stock ROM before (Android 5).

When you tried with old gapps, you just flashed the gapps, or it was with a clean install of the rom ?
I noticed open gapps from 25 march until 02 aprilwere the same, but the 24/03 were differents in size.
I tried just flashing 24 but no difference...
And do you understand this story of beta ?

This is upsetting. People who want privacy are being nagged. I'm in the same boat as well. I like to keep location off except when I need it. Is there a xposed or magisk module that could be crafted to make this go away?

I asked for such a solution already as well: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/help/location-access-t3584764/page2
I google already for a couple of days. The issue is already reported in a couple android forums. But no solution so far....
Getting it as well on a older V10 running clean debloated 5.1.1 and my other V10 running 6.0.1 debloated fresh install.
My only guess is the new updated Google Play store is doing it (or other automagically updated google app)
1) Settings -> General -> Location -> Google Location History
2) You can turn this totally off, or you can selectively turn it off by device.
3) Reboot
4) Profit
If you lose your phone, Google won't be able to find it for you. But if you typically turn off GPS, this is probably assumed anyway.

It worked for me. After reboot I enabled location history back, and it still works as expected.

Hello,
For me it has been like that for a long time, and it didn't work...
But since a few days, without changing anything, I can't see this popup anymore.
Perhaps a Google Play Services update ? Google realized the popup was a stupid idea... :silly:

Weird App behaviour after upgrade to 11

Hello
Info:
Updated recently to 11 using full factory image with wipe (with - w flag).
Rooted with Magisk (canary update channel, see images)
Patched clean boot file and flashed with fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
All good.
Problem: trying to open a .docx file from storage with M$ Word. Screen goes black and phone restarts. On first restart I get the dreaded "cannot load android system - try again or factory reset. Luckily try again does boot my phone.
Attempted solution: remove and reinstall word - click uninstall -" the app wasn't found in the list of installed apps" - see image.
Went to play store to reinstall - only have "open" button - when clicked, screen goes black and back to "cannot load android system" screen ?
Any ideas/advice much appreciated
Many thanks
*Update*
Couldn't resolve via normal methods -
Used App Inspector (UBQSoft) from playstore to see if M$ Word showed up in there and it did:
From there, clicked the cog wheel to go through to "App Info" screen and was able to successfully uninstall from there.
Installed the Office full suite as a work around and am now able to open the document as needed.
Any thoughts or info still appreciate - especially if anyone has had a similar bug, even with different apps.
Many thanks ?
Further Update
So, I've gone back to the same document about an hour after being able to open it - same prob, screen goes black, phone restarts to "cannot load android system - try again or factory reset"
Tried open again from within Files,
got message "none of you apps can open this file"
I have office installed - see images.
I think I'm going to go back to Android 10 - this is quite the inconvenience for the time being
Not sure if it's 11, Magisk or kernel (using the latest EXKM)
but it's system UI that keeps crashing - I cleared out storage and cache as I am currently unable to uninstall Office, even via App Inspector.
*Solved*
Removed one of my Outlook/Micro$oft accounts to which Word and Office were both previously syncing - removed Office via playstore Uninstall button and rebooted phone.
Tested opening the same document both from Files, SolidExplorer and from within Word, opens for editing no probs and performs as expected.
Root and EXKM still installed and fine.
Sorry for multiple updates, just thought it might be useful for anyobe with similar issues.
