ICS Bolt Suddenly Stuck on EvDo (1X) - Thunderbolt General

I got a new Bolt a few weeks ago and threw the full DeOdex Sense ICS ROM on there by Santod. It was working perfectly fine until a few days ago, when it got stuck on 1X, or EvDo.
Before you respond, please READ WHAT I HAVE ALREADY DONE to try and fix this:
Powered the phone down
Battery pull
SIM card pull
Power cycle
Moved to another cell tower
Visited family over 500 miles away (yes, it was on 1X the entire trip)
Reinstalled the radios in Bootloader
Reinstalled the kernel
I even tried the, "##778#" fix and it does NOTHING
I can't think of anything else.
Much help, many appreciate. Wow forums.

Try getting a new sim.

I'll try that, can't hurt.
I also have started to get SMS errors. I will be texting someone then at a random message it will repeatedly tell me that the message couldn't be sent even though I have 1X and multiple bars. After a while, it lets me send the message.

Probably because you're on 1x.

Check the connectors on the battery cover. If not in good contact it will leave you permanently stuck in 1x.

I was going to suggest that but he said he removed the battery. He could have corrosion on the contacts.

This happened to me recently too. My texts, especially MMS, couldn't be sent and I got error messages about getting them too, all while I couldn't get consistent data. I agree. Get a new SIM.

Can't regain signal without restarting

Completely stock phone... I never messed with it from day 1.
So here's the thing... everytime I take a subway and after the get out from underground the phone never regains the 4g data icons... the signals are there but it doesnt let me browse the web or use any apps that require a data signal.
Restarting the phone solves the problem...
But at work everytime I go to the basement and come out.. I completely lose the signal and do not automatically regain it once I'm out on the street... this made me miss many calls and incoming texts... I also switched my sum card 2 weeks ago for the newest 4g Sims... it helped for about 2 days.. but now same thing happens all over again..
Any tips?

Try toggling flight mode on then back off.

Did that... it rarely works... but either way... its not good when a phone can't regain a signal... because its in my jeans the whole time... and I get a lot of missed calls due to that... its horrible.
Does anyone else experience this problem with their galaxy s?

If its completely stock I would call in the warranty.

If you've always been using stock, then you should try your hand at flashing GB.
Try out some new modems too. It might solve your problem.

Missing calls and texts

Not sure what this issue could be. A lot of people say every so often that they call me back to back at times. I get no missed calls notifications. Same with text sometimes. Not sure if its ATT or what. Happens at home and when I'm out. Anyone else experience this?

1. Belongs in Q&A
2. Are you rooted?
3. If so, What ROM, kernel?
4. Did you do a clean flash or you didn't wipe?
5. Check if you have signal it could be just dead areas you're in.
6. If stock, it's probably due to bad signal.

Sorry thought I did post it there.
I'm rooted, Rohans B5 kernel, clean flash to King Kang. This has been happening for awhile before this ROM. I'm on WiFi and the signal bar is full

Fyi, I had the same problem and had to go get a new sim card and have them re-register my phone on the network.

You don't have to unroot or relock it I had a problem with LTE and was fixed getting a new SIM card. They saw that my phone was rooted. So don't do that.

I was having the same issue with calls and voicemails. I called AT&T and they did a reset on their end which did involve reboot on my end but it didn't have any other impact as far as data and root and they then tested the response on the phone and it had improved significantly. This was right around the time Sandy hit.

So called att and they reset my connection and put in a ticket.

i had this exact problem.
att first reset my sim card or something via phone support. nothing.
they then replaced my phone with a new one x. nothing.
reset my sim. nothing.
replaced my sim. nothing.
at that point i guess i was SOL. it wasnt happening all the time, but it was happening occasionally, so i just bared with it.
i dont know when i noticed it stop happening and fix itself, but it wasnt till after i achieved root and flashed a different rom that i noticed it gone completely.
i do live in an area that has poor reception for most carriers, yet down the street reception is perfectly fine.
i would miss calls, and not receive missed call notifications. i did not receive texts at times, and wouldnt notice till i was flooded by a few text messages all at once with time stamps corresponding to past few hours. sometimes me using an app on wifi/data would trigger all my text messages to come in at once.
now, i know it wasnt necessarily an issue of reception or service, because during some of those "blackout" periods that i happened to catch, i did have service and would be using my phone for miscellaneous things, then get flooded by texts and email notifications later
hope this helps in some way

So I've had the same problem with mine...it will show full service but I won't be able to send out texts or calls and I won't be able to receive any either. They replaced my sim but still had the same problems. Is the only way to fix this by flashing a different rom?

Signal dropping then coming back

I'm on T-Mobile here in the US. Not sure if anyone else is having issues. I've had my phone since the 6th. Up until yesterday it's all been perfect. Now every now and then the service just drops to "no service" followed by "emergency calls only" then finally comes back to normal. When I have signal, it's good. 4-5 bars. The drops are random. I'm stock + root.
Anyone else having problems?
Same thing is happening with Rogers

Hmmm... I have tried a couple ROMs but none lasted long enough without bugs to notice. I also flashed the stock image again just to be sure and it's still there.
There's an ongoing thread already on XDA:

Also, there is a thread where a rep from Google, Paul, has acknowledged the issue. Please post your issues there for them to track/investigate:

Unlocked, stock rooted, stock kernal, and I'm having the same issues. Very slow when switching from lte to 3g and back to lte, sometimes it doesn't switch back to lte. Also the loss of signal. I though if factory reset back to stock but I guess that's not the issue.

According to this link:

It's a software issue.. I am getting the same thing on Rogers. I only get it after a call or when sending SMS. Frustrating issue, to put it mildly
I switched to bricked kernel my connections have been solid. Later I also switched to the Cataclysm ROM and so far so good.
I think it is a software issue.

[Q] I randomly lost service and I can't get it back.

I was on YouTube for a while, and I noticed I lost all bars and everything. I still have WiFi connections obviously, but I cannot get service back. I've reflashed my ROM, tried a different ROM, powered down my phone and took the sim card out and put it back in. I'm not not sure what to do.
EDIT: It seems like it's working now, but I have an average of one bar. Any help would still be appreciated. Thanks.

It was weird man, one night about 2 weeks ago here at work my signal wouldn't work at all, nothing I did changed it. I changed modems and roms nearly all night. Then an hour before my shift ended the service magically was restored. It was really strange. I'm not sure what to tell you on this, I did some research and looked around but found nothing on it

My girlfriend claimed she had the same issue that night as me. She is on straight talk though. Maybe a coincidence, I'm not sure. But my signal is weak now. 1 bar all the time. I haven't left the house yet so I'm not sure about anywhere else
