[Q] Nexus 5 on Sprint with ASOP Roms?

Hey Guys!
I swear I read this some where before, but I can't find it now: Somebody was talking about the N5 binaries being posted recently and noticed that CDMA wasn't mentioned. Another person chimed in and said that ASOP ROMS wouldn't work the same, or as well, when using a nexus 5 on Sprint. Can anybody elaborate on that? I understand that CDMA was an issue for ASOP on older devices.

I am using DroidKang v2 which is the latest unofficial nightly for CM11 on my Sprint. My signal is low on the LTE, might be a problem where tri-band is not activated on AOSP? Also PRL provisioning does not work in the settings.

Kangkat works for me. I first found out about this issue when I tried to flash purity rom. My data was just gone, but could make phone calls. Is it something with the rom or on sprint's side? Its very disappointing.

With kangkat, you have full (voice /data/sms/mms) network functionality? But with purity you did not?

Looks like most devs are fixing the issue. :good:

Mine worked on the stock rom, make sure your setting is set to GLOBAL then you will get the Carrier menu. However I had to put my Nexus back to AT&T because it would constantly Random Reboot once the screen turned off. Very odd.

Last call for help.

This will be the umpteenth request for help I've made.
I'm going to be as brief but detailed as possible.
Sch-I535.
Using GSM band with Straight Talk AT&T.
Stock roms works fine. Custom stock also.
AOSP/AOKP/CM roms flash fine and work fine but won't let me send sms.
I can receive sms fine.
Calls, data and mms work fine.
APN settings are fine.
Signal is fine.
I ALWAYS clean flash.
Using latest CWM touch.
Tried with recommended gapps and no gapps. No luck. I've odinned back to stock, rerooted and reflashed. No luck.
Tried battery pull, fix permissions, factory reset and reboot. No luck.
I'm at my wits end and I abhor the thought of remaining tethered to stock roms or their custom counterparts.
I am BEGGING for help.
If you need any more info please ask.

Have you tried 3rd party texting apps like go out handcent? And are you using hangouts or stock sms. What about uninstalling sms app and reinstalling stock or custom one from the theme section. That's all the help I can offer. Not too knowledgeable on all this but they may be solutions if you didn't already try them

Tried Go sms and hangouts. Tried uninstalling.

I've never encountered that. Did you try searching the forum or maybe a Google search? And when did it start, and for how long? Also which versions of aosp/cm have you flashed
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

Tried searching. This is my 5th thread I think. This started when I flashed PAC Man rom. I've tried PAC Man, Slim Bean, CM 10.2 and 11. No cigar.

You really shouldn't create new threads. I know it sucks when you don't get very many responses but the Moderators would rather u bump your original thread than create a new thread as that just gives them more threads to clean up. With that said I am gonna take a look at your log. I want to help u since I know you have had this issue a while :/

The SMS rils are trying to send as CDMA, not GSM. This kind of info would have been helpful in the dev threads you were posting about roms not working.
Was this a Verizon phone you brought to StraightTalk or did you get this phone intended/coded for StraighTalk? And yes, that matters, especially with non-stock roms.

It's verizon phone I brought to straight talk

I'd have to dig into the stock rom to see what's different that allows you to use GSM for calls; obviously, the stock rom allows for a GSM switchover.
Here's the issue: 99% of the people downloading the Verizon S3 roms are on Verizon and therefore on CDMA/LTE. The only way to get your phone to work properly with these roms is to get a developer to modify the RILs to allow a GSM device to work with the rom. That's going to be a tough sell, since they have little incentive to do so, unless they also have a GSM S3. You can PM/talk to some devs and see if they can help, but many don't know how to code RILs, which is why they're using the CM repo... it's far more technical than just compiling a rom (I speak from experience with the old Droid 2 Global that had a GSM switch).
Hope that helps.

I still don't understand how I can receive SMS but can't send. Calls work fine and MMS does too. Wouldn't those be messed us if what your saying is true?

Possibly. The issue lies with 'ImsSms'; it's set to CDMA for sending, rather than GSM. That could be something in the rom with the network settings applying to all but the SMS settings, or it could be related to the RIL and how its coded.
I haven't seen any other GSM users post about their experiences with these roms, so I don't have much data to go off. I assume you've fiddled with the 'Preferred Network Type' and set it to 'Global' (in Gummy)? In Other roms, it's choosing the LTE/GSM/CDMA choice. That would activate GSM if it were available to the phone, whereas if I choose that on the Verizon network, it kills my connection.

I tried that but it might not hurt to fiddle with it again. I'll try and report back. Bring another logcat with me.

That's actually not weird at all if you have a data connection.
On Verizon CDMA, sms goes out over the 1xRTT frequency, but mms goes out over EvDO or LTE; on GSM, sms goes out on the GSM frequency, but mms goes out on the HSPA+ or LTE.
Now, if you don't have a mobile data connection, there's something seriously wonked.

Ah okay. Well I still cannot send SMS. I played with the preferred network settings but nothing changes. Any suggestions? Isn't there a jar file that controls sending through gsm and CDMA? Couldn't I delete the CDMA jar file and the gsm take over? Is that dumb? Lol
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

I don't know if it's that simple. I don't think deleting the CDMA jar will do anything other than prevent you from using CDMA. Have you seen this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069850

lol right? It probably works, though. Here's another thread that *may* work and seems more simplified and I'm guessing is more like what you initially did: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31095006&postcount=106
So the question is: What's different in 4.4 roms from stock that makes it so hard to connect to gsm....?
Hey, so have you tried flashing a 4.4 rom built for an AT&T device? If you need GSM, those builds will have GSM device files and since they have the same hardware, that *might* actually work.

Poor cell phone reception with new ROMs

Does anyone here have issues with poor cell phone reception after installing new roms? I have a Razr HD XT926 4.4.2 running a unlocked but stock rom because everytime I go to another rom (I have tried 10+ different roms) I end up getting poor cell phone reception. In my apartment I typically get 2-3 bars on verizon but with new roms I get 0-1 bars and when I am outside I never get more than 2 when I normally get 4+. This is preventing me from using any rom because I absolutely cannot be without reception for work.
All roms install just fine but just this issue. Anyone else have this?
Thanks

Anyone else having this problem? No one?

Hey! So, I came here to try and find some help on this issue or post myself if nothing else. I also have an XT926 4.4.2 with unlocked bootloader on stock rom. I have tried many different roms and personally I love PacRom, but no matter what rom besides stock that I use, I can not get Mobile Data. I haven't checked the cell reception, but the mobile data does not work at all until I wipe and go back to stock. It's really frustrating because I would love to use a different rom other than stock. I do have xposed running on stock, but it can not give me everything a custom rom can. If anyone knows a fix to this, please let us know!

Do you mean like changing all the settings and apns in there? And hitting that checkbox? Yeah it works on stock, but it does not do anything on a custom rom. I have calling and texting, but no mobile data.

Yes going into that screen. Idk if there is a difference between Verizon account types, but i know for me over on the AHD and on ATT, I need to be set to ATT phone b/c i'm on a prepaid account to get data to work instead of ATT LTE

yes, not as extreme as you, but from what I've read along the way its common to all AOSP roms. My battery life is noticeably worse because its searching for signal.

Hmm... I am on stock at the moment, but I will go to a custom rom for a bit again probably tomorrow to mess around with the settings again. Either way I will post what I tried and possibly screenshots for maybe more help on my part or to help others if they have the same situation. I just have no idea what needs to be changed. I tried copying the apn settings from stock, but that didn't seem to work. Maybe I did something wrong or missed a step or something. I'll be back tomorrow. Thanks!

Is it possible that i may have messed up the phone?

I have had an OPO since 2014 november, and since then, i have had install many various roms. But since august and i installed official cm12.1, my phone stopped working properly. While the phone is just idle on lte, when i get a call, i see the antenna change back to 3g but i dont get the call, and couple seconds later for the caller, call goes to voicemail. Or when i try to make a call on lte, most times, it doesnt connect like it cant properly work on 3g networks. When im on 2g everything works fine. But obviously i dont wanna get stuck on 2g. Also, i have tried probably every possible related thread and method, including going stock, going cm11s ( first official stock rom), installing different recoveries (twrp 2.8.6.0, 2.8.7.0.5 materialized, philz) and the modems and basebands even with fastboot. And nothing seemed to worked for me. So i was just wondering if i did mess up my phone or my phones modem or/and antenna. And how would i know for sure? Btw i also tried different sims. No luck.

I tried this one. I also tried to go back to 11s as well. Same thing every time. I can only have phoning experience on 2g. On lte works great for the data but 3g is hit or miss. I wonder if there is a way the set up the phone to go between lte and 2g for incoming/outgoing calls bypassing 3g option. I would be contempt with that.

Try another sim card

If your network requires to change your APN, this fix resolved my radio connectivity issue. I would check with provider if you are on correct APN setting. Your phones default may not be same as your provider APN.

Official 6.0.1 ota and now can not sms on original nst

So I grabbed the ota, all seemed good enough but I am unable to get SMS to work through hangouts or messaging apps. Says SMS is disabled. I've poked around in the various app permissions and uninstalled reinstalled etc......att all access stock app is and has been disabled since kk...all grayed out can not be enabled either. I use a mvno as a carrier but it was great on km and lp before. My 4g connection works pretty good though. Any body got some ideas as to wtf is going on?
Update, I have always had my att all access bloatware disabled but since I was making no headway otherwise I enabled it but it did not improve my ability to text, sadly I have not found a way to disable it again?. Still no joy texting since the update!

Update2 had the carrier, Consumer Cellular, bounce my line and still no SMS. I have also confirmed another original shield tablet who took the ota and has CC as a carrier is also without SMS. Who else is having this issue? I have left feedback via the tablet to Nvidia.

I cannot help you as my T-Mobile Free 200MB for Life does not allow me to send texts, however I do receive incoming texts from T-Mobile occasionally when I go over the limit or plan renews.
Here is a theory. Perhaps the US LTE ROM is missing something crucial for SMS. Now, I have never installed the US LTE Marshmallow ROM, but on Lollipop, the US ROM was missing the AOSP Messaging app that comes with the RoW ROM.
If the US LTE Marshmallow ROM is still missing the Messaging app, perhaps try flashing the RoW LTE ROM and see if that fixes the problem. There is evidence that AT&T cripples functionality on things they touch.

It is true that ATT is a scourge. I had used 8sms and hangouts effectively previously. Would like to stay on the stock ota for my device but travel around the world quite a bit and really must have my unlocked device function as one! My sims that I use around the world did allow it and so does my MVNO here in the states! Thanks for he status of at least receiving a text from T-Mobile. Was it on us or row rom? I can't receive them either let alone send.

I flashed the Full RoW-LTE 4.2 ROM. You can flash/adb sideload using TWRP on top of any previously installed ROM. Just make sure you have the official TWRP 3.0.2-2 installed first as this version is compatible with all bootloaders and fixes the touchscreen delay bug.
