Sudden Disconnection from network?

So out of nowhere, my HTC Sensation no longer connects to the network. I would get roughly around 5 mbps around my house, but just all of a sudden, it stopped working. I tried rebooting the phone, and turning on/off airplane mode, and it just doesn't seem to be working. Anyone have any more tips before I try and factory resetting? Also i think I may be experiencing a bug because every time I open any app, I get a very quick glimpse of the weather instead, and then the app opens up. Thanks

What was your previous phone with t-mobile? If you don't have an "android plan" it seems that T-mobile is blocking you from data.
Check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1128335&highlight=data&page=5

I had the same problem two days ago and had to do a factory reset to solve the problem.

Previous phone was MyTouch 3g, so I'm sure I'm on an android plan
Thanks for the link, I'll check it out

Don't assume it's your phone. It's possible that service in your area is down. If you have another t-mobile phone check to see if it has reception. Next go into settings, wireless&networks, and select mobile networks. Then choose network operators and select automatically. If nothing comes up I would call t-mobile because resetting your phone.

[Q] Not registered on the network problems

I've read a lot on the internet but have not found a good answer for me. In certain locations, almost daily, I get either a "not registered on the network" message or a "sim not allowed ##3" message on my Infuse. If I switch the phone to airplane mode and then back off of airplane mode it always reconnects to the AT&T network. The problem started after I changed my ROM from Infused 1.5.3 to Zeus 6. I've flashed to Mind of Mac 1.4 but that didn't fix the problem. I've tried a new SIM card, different APN settings and several other changes, but it didn't help. If I have a good 4g connection it never has the problem. It never re-registers on the network until I do the airplane mode on and off thing or reboot the phone. My iemi number shows up weird on the phone too. What is the best way to fix this problem? Thanks.

No one has a clue?
No one has a clue how to fix the problem? It happens when I lose 3g or 4g connection.

What modem do you have?

Modem
I currently have UCLB3. I have tried a few different ones but it does the same thing with each one I've tried.

Sounds like you know what you are doing , unfortunately it sounds like a hardware issue. If going to settings > mobile networks > network operators and choosing AT&T does not fix it the only thing to suggest is return for repair or exchange. As you know, you will have to return it to stock so after you do that you may want to test it one more time. Sorry, not the answer you wanted but the best answer I have, Regards.

From recent experience - I would avoid using the fixes listed above as they will change your IMEI.
I say this as I was having a similar issue -- I had been running on the ParanoidAndroid ICS rom for a few days and my I997 started to do the same thing. Network connection was fine most of the time but it would occasionally drop out to no network. Except swapping between airplane mode didnt always fix it. If i rebooted the phone and it would pop up with "Unknown" Baseband Version, and no IMEI/IME SV until it connected again... whenever it decided to do so.
I flashed a few different modems to no avail.
Used GTG's stock restore... and it still showed no baseband or IMEI.
Searched through everything i could find and I found the 2 above posts. Being the cautious person that I am, I was skeptical to run the "fix" since I know playing with the efs folder can do.. fun things.. I backed it up with EFS Pro.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546
So after that - I did the fix from those two posts. It worked. I got a signal. HUZZAH. But I could only make a few calls before it would drop out, and I couldn't send or receive text messages at all they would just stall and error out.
So I took a look at the IMEI again and noticed that it was NOT *my* IMEI, it was presumably the imei of the person who Truckerglenn got the backup from so long ago.
Figured at this point my phone is going to have to go back to Samsung to fix since it's still dropping out, the IMEI is wrong and I can't send texts
Can't break it anymore than it's already broken right?
Go back into root browser, delete the EFS folder entirely. *poof* gone. Reboot. Use EFS Pro to restore the backup I had created (GOOD THING!) phone reboots. Instantly picks up the signal again, I get 15 text messages, 2 voicemails AND my IMEI shows what it should be now.
*HOPEFULLY* it holds onto its connection now. If not, back to stock and back to samsung it goes - now with the correct IMEI. heh
Sorry for the long story

Thanks! May have found a partial fix.
Thanks for the tips and information. I think I may have found a partial fix. It seems that picking the "WCMDA only" in the "Network Mode" options seems to solve the problem for me. If it is set on "GSM/WCCMA (auto mode)" option, it seems to cause the "SIM not allowed ##3" or the "not registered on the network" problem when I am in an area where the 4G or 3G signal is weak. I will do some more testing. It appears that if I don't have 3G or 4G available in any given location my phone won't connect to the cell towers at all even though other users can connect without any problems. Does this give anyone any other ideas? Do I possibly just need new APN settings?

Have you tried flashing a new radio? Does a complete wipe and restore to UCLB3 make any difference?
Has any of these roms/firmwares that you flashed been done so through Aroma installer? I know Aroma gives you the option to change modems, and if your download was buggered that could have caused it.
I'm just tossing ideas around here... I'm up early and looking to help.

The work around works
Yes, I have flashed the radio but that didn't help. I have discovered the "fix" is to set my phone on "WCDMA only". It seems that the phone will only work if 4G or 3G is available. I am not longer getting the original error messages. So that's a good thing. If I ever go to where 3G and/or 4G is not available I will have to try something else. Thanks for all the replies.

[Q] Possible APN problem

Hi!
My girlfriend (who is forever having problems with phones) just bought a Nexus 5 after her Galaxy S2 spontaneously gave up on life, but despite showing a full signal it seems to be unable to connect to a network (it's supposed to be on the UK's Orange network). When it first started up she said it had a screen saying something like 'activate data services', but that after 10 minutes or sitting on that screen and apparently stuck, she skipped it. The phone is showing a full strength signal, but no calls/texts or data works.
We've been unable to get back to that screen, even after doing a factory reset with/without the SIM inserted.
Anyway, I figured it was an APN issue, so I've tried setting it up for her, but whenever I create a new APN and try to save it, it just disappears and loses all of my settings. I've had a look around XDA and it seems a few others have been having the same issue, but nobody I've seen has posted a fix. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Tried it with my SIM in her phone and it works fine, so I guess it's a SIM issue. Sorry about that. She can call the phone company tomorrow.

Can't get connection to ANY carrier

Hi! I'm having some mayor problems with my OnePlus One.
For some time I have had problems getting calls and sms when using 4G but it seemed to be a problem with my carrier but 2 weeks ago I dropped my phone and the screen broke so I bought a new screen and replaced it. After that the connection to my carrier dropped randomly and now after trying to fix it in different ways I can't get any connection at all with any carrier !
What I have tried so far:
Factory reset
Reinstalled CM
Put paper under the sim for tighter fit
Turned the radio off and on and restart phone
Change pin code
Replace sim-card
Tried different carriers on my phone (my simcard worked on other phones so it is the OPO that is the problem)
Total restore by fastboot-flashing
Installed OxigenOS 2
Tried all modems from the modem collection on CM and Oxigen.
Retyped the APN by hand
Opened the phone again and checked that all cables are connected well
Tried manualy connect to my carrier under Network Operators
For a short time of maximum 10 seconds I got a 4G connection twice in now 3 days of trying but then it stops working again. It feels like a hardware problem BUT I can see a lot of different carriers under Network Operators but when trying to connect it loads for ever and then says "Can't register to your carrier". I called my carrier and thay said nothing was wrong from their end and when I tried on other phones it worked flawlessly.
I'm really out of ideas now and I don't know where to go from here. I really hope someone of you knows that might be the problem!
Thank you so much!

If imei present you can try mobile phone exchange offer on flip kart like online stores. When this happened to my phone I did it , very easy.

Sometimes opo dont search available network or wont register on any network.
Sulution: go to access point and reset it to default first then go to network and try to search for network n if ur able to search then try ro register manually and if it does not work then go to dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#* then click phone info and select the lte/gsm ato prl mode and then click turn radio off and again tuen it onn then smsc refresh and update ( i dnt remember it correctly) if that dnt help then ur network antena is damaged

LG G5 Sim not detected only for SMS and calls

As stated I'm using the LG G5 H830 T-Mobile variant. I am getting 4G LTE data connection and everything runs well (Not in any WiFi range) Yet for SMS and calling as well as mobile hotspot I get "No USIM card' error. This happened after wiping the system and formatting data. Rebooted recovery (as per instructions on forum) then installed the stock firmware & Patch with systemless root and xposed. After this I did factor reset when just pulling the sim didn't help. Still nothing. I reflashed just the stock firmware with TWRP and SuperSU and issue is still happening. I've disabled rebooted and enabled the phone radio. SIM is in good condition and tray as well everything is SECURE and should be good to go.
I'm assuming a new SIM might be a solution. But I'm not counting on it and with Labor Day tomorrow for me I wouldn't be able to pick one up for 2 days. So here I am...hoping someone might have a fix. I know I don't have many posts on here. But I am an experienced user....just not with the more basic of problems I guess
Thanks!!

Has anyone else experienced this yet? I'm just curious...I had it fixed for a couple days. I've formatted data and done complete system wipe. Tried it resetting phone with the COMPLETE zip and TOT using LGUP. I'm receiving texts. Not calls. Not able to send either. I've activated new sim, didn't help. LG support just told me to look into warranty. T-Mobile needless to say just wanted. Sim card does show stock tmobile short code contacts but phone number shows as unknown. Hotspot won't work. I've tried setting the phone number to the sim. Nothing.
Anyways. I don't think I messed with anything, even so I've done everything to start the phone from scratch. Going to replace it, just more or less curious at this point and maybe others have had the same issue.

I believe I had the same issue as you and it was driving me crazy. I was constantly wiping data, system, etc but my phone kept giving the message "roaming indicator off" where it should show the name of the carrier. This resulted in me having LTE data and that's it- no 3g, no phone calls, etc. I couldn't even access the mobile network menu.
What ended up causing the issue was the network mode setting under wireless networks. Keep in mind at this point I'm running a patched rom which now gives more options in the network mode menu than the phone came factory with. I have an area at work where I have to switch to 3g, GSM/wcdma preferred network setting, because although I have full LTE signal, my connection goes dead. When switching back from 3g I chose the setting lte/CDMA thinking this would force my phone to stay in lte mode due to another area on an upper floor where the phone will constantly drop lte.
Anyways this resulted in my phone saying roaming indicator unavailable, the inability to make or receive phone calls, and either the mobile networks or network mode menus being grayed out. When stuck in this mode there is no way to put the phone back into the standard "GSM/wcdma/lte" mode. Even a complete reflash won't fix it. I even used lgup, which worked for maybe a day until it force closed the phone app and went back to roaming indicator unavail. I wiped every partition and even reflashed radio firmware. Nothing worked.
What ended up fixing it was using an app called v10 hidden settings which allowed me to access the network mode menu directly and re-choose the lte/wcdma/GSM setting. Incidentally on first access to this menu through the app there are only two network settings available. Once you choose a GSM setting, the rest appear.
I'm not sure if this was your issue but I hoped this helped because this took me about a week to workout.
