Alright, after hours of searching, I've decided to ask the forum for help. Here's my dilemma, I just recently flashed the Google Play Edition ROM to my M8, and I love it. Its awesome, and I've been utilizing/exploring as much as the customization options as possible since I flashed the ROM a day ago.
But today, my cellular connection completely cut out. All I get is a little empty triangle in the top right hand corner of my screen that's supposed to show the signal. Its like my phone doesn't even know its a Verizon phone. Pulling the SIM does nothing, rebooting does nothing. So I decided to make a backup using TWRP and I wiped all the data from my phone (still keeping the ROM of course) and now my service works again.
So I figure I must have messed with some setting that ended up having this result, being that just clearing data solves the issue. I could just start over, but I've already done so much and I don't want to just give up. Does anyone have any idea as to what I can do to get my cellular connection back?
Thank you so much in advance!

Had it for about a little over a month now and rooted it with Doomlord's method about 2 weeks ago.
Experiencing the following two issues:
-Sim card notification pops up and says something along the lines of 'Sim card not inserted'. End up rebooting my phone and it works again. This has happened twice and I can't find any threads involving the Skyrocket and this.
-No data connection. Happened about three times now. Wifi works, but can't get packet connection (yes it is on). Again, have to reboot phone and then it will work. The weird thing is that when I first turn it on, everything is fine, but then I checked my phone a few hours later, and I found that my e-mail not reloading.
Anyone know what's going on? I don't have many apps installed either. Just Titanium Backup (not even Pro because I wanted to see what was up with my phone before I bought it), JuiceDefender, one game and GVoice. If this was a one time occurrence, I don't think I would mind, but the fact that it's happened two times is making me a little nervous.
Thanks for reading through all this!
If you are rooted try installing cmw and flashing a new rom see if you still have the issue mine has done what you are talking about. But just thought it was a bad flash of something. Haven't had it happen since I did stock recovery and flashed the rom i'm on now.

Go back to stock. If you have the same problem, call in the warranty. If you don't have the same problems then get another ROM.

Sounds like Sim card acting up. I had problems when I first got my phone with bad Sim card keep loosing data.

Sounds like u either froze or removed sim toolkit. U need this apk. Also juice defender can cause a lot of problems if not configured exactly right. Try uninstalling it

I still have sim toolkit. At least it says I do. I haven't frozen or uninstalled anything since I took it outta the box to be honest. Just deleted some stuff from the widgets screen.
Also, what do you mean by Juice defender configuration? Should I uninstall and re-install?
As for the other replies, I've started to keep a record of the errors. Knock on wood that I won't have more...but we'll see. Only time I get a break is in March so I may have to wait it out.
One other thing: If I want to unroot, is using Doomlord's unrooting method safe? I noticed that under the list of phones that work, there's only one...
thanks again
i have the same problem right now, Just got the skyrocket couple days ago, I upgraded it, under our daughters line, But im using it. I need to activate it with the new sim, for her, then after its all done, can take the new sim out and put it back into her phone, and put mine back into the skyrocket.
Its rooted and thats it.
I froze Sim toolkit and haven't noticed any problems...
what state or area are you in?
i have this same problem, on 2 different phones and 2 different sims. voice will work fine but no data will flow. no email, no browsing, no apps, nothing. it started the day i got the 1st phone (in the at&t store parking lot). eventually it will start working again - browser goes thru, emails deliver, etc.
i rooted and did sky rom on that phone and the problem followed. talked to support, no help. returned to stock and exchanged for a new skyrocket and sim, the problem still exists.
i think there is an issue with either the skyrocket or somewhere on at&ts network. if i pull my phone out at 10 random times during the day and attempt a data connection, it will fail 2 of those 10 times.
very frustrating with no obvious answer in front of me. i don't have lte in my area, and i am in my 30 day window with att, so im thinking of returning skyrocket and going with plan s2.

Hi,
I tried to upgrade my ROM on my Motorola Defy, quite a while ago now. Once completing all of the steps and the new OS was installed everything seemed to work fine, however I couldn't get a signal from my phone. I reset to factory and still, no signal. Luckily I had just bought the phone, had a very friendly salesperson, and he just swapped the phone out for a new one, no questions asked.
I have recently been getting the bug to root my phone again. However, I'm scared to death that I'm going to fudge it and be left with the same issue. I never really found any info as to why the phone did what it did, or how easy it would have been to fix. I'm wondering if anyone has come across this problem?
Thanks!
Ted
I have a Samsung Galaxy S I897 running GB 2.3.5 on the AT&T network.
Here is my problem:
I upgraded from Froyo to GB. Everything was fine except that nagging force close of the tethering manager. After much researching, I had to do a hard reset and the phone worked fine.
I then decided that I would try Easy Battery Saver. Without researching this further than customer reviews, I figured it would be helpful. I decided it was a P.O.C. app and got rid of it. Then the problems really started. (DO NOT USE APPS LIKE THESE, for anyone new reading this post.)
The settings remained after deleting the app and I noticed that my battery life was worse. Once I got below 50% battery, I would lose all data connection. My 3g would disappear, then the bars, then I would be left with circle and line. Sometimes my phone would just shut off and show that I had no battery left, this after having the phone charging all night, and after about 5 minutes of use.
I called AT&T... not much help there. I got a new SIM, I did a few battery cycles to bring it back to normal, hard reset the thing like 5 times. I gave up!
Now, I downloaded ODIN3-one click and tried a complete ROM restore. It worked great! I got back to eclaire. I re-installed Froyo then GB. I hoped this would solve the problem. I went ahead and re-installed my apps. One being the Opera Mobile Browser. I went to use my browser. SAME ISSUE AGAIN! I lost my data connection within 2 minutes. OMFreakinGoodness already!!
I'm frustrated and do not know what to do next other than throw this phone out the window doing 90 on the freeway.
Here are my questions:
When running ODIN, should I have used the master clear option after it said it was done? All I did was hit start and it said it was done, so I figured it did what it needed to.
Is Opera Mobile the culprit? I only started using it about a couple of days before using the battery app.
Do I need to format my internal SD? Will Master Reset with ODIN3 do this for me? (Once all was said and done, everything is still on my internal SD.)
Please help. I am a N00b when it comes to working with Androids completely and I am just starting to delve into the modding portion of being an android owner.
Hi, been a member for a while, haven't posted before though, (yeah I know, I'm an ass who just downloads and flashes roms), but I have a MAJOR issue now. I tried the MoDaCo.one rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1711783 and decided that it wasn't for me, so I restored my old backup of CleanRom 4.2 Standard. However, upon restoring this image, my phone keeps looking for a LTE connection, even though there is none available, and as such, will not connect to any mobile network. I have tried doing a total reinstall of CleanRom, i have tried resetting everything, i have tried changing the APN settings, everything I can think of. I even called AT&T to see if something was up with the data in my area, and it is all fine, in fact, while I was on the phone, the LTE turned off, (as LTE cannot run while the voice is connected for some reason or another) and I actually got a connection, so it is something with the phone trying to get LTE all the time. Is there some way I can fix thigs?
Also, after trying the MoDaCo rom, my phone only does a hot reboot/fastboot, unless I use the power button hard reset. Any help anyone might be able to give would be greatly appreciated, I can't really afford another $650 phone lol
P.S. If someone, ANYONE, can give any kind of help, I promise I will be coming in and trying to help anyone I can from now on. I'm a Linux Dev (Mint and SolusOS) so I'm not a complete and utter moreoff in terms of how the OS works.

Does Wifi stay on and not search for connection? Meaning does Wifi always stay connected?
Sent from my box of McNuggets.
thanx for the fast reply, wifi work exactly as it should, no issues there, but mobile data is all kinds of messed up. However, just for s#*T's and giggles I decided to try and see if maybe I could get miui v4 2.7.20 to work, and for some reason or another, mobile data works in this one. I'm not exactly sure what's going on, and to be honest, I think I'm gonna try a few roms and see if maybe its only default ice type rooms that work, which would prob mean that something in sense is messed up after the MoDaCo rom trial. If Anyone might have an idea of what's going on, I'm all ears.
Well if all else fails run a ruu and start with a clean slate.

Yeah, I think i may do that, maybe even relock the bootloader, unroot, and start over from a factory default and see if maybe I can get things repaired, or least working right lol.
Hello everyone, I did do a search for my issue but found no solutions so I'm hoping someone out there can help me.
Phone: Samsung Infuse 4G on AT&T running Cyanogenmod 7
I just very recently started messing around with custom ROMs so bear with me. I may use some wrong terminology out of sheer noobness. Feel free to correct me.
A few days ago I put my phone to stock Froyo using GTG's ultimate un-brick. I did this because I wanted a fresh start. I didn't care If I lost my apps, I wanted to start over anyways.
I then rooted using SuperOneClick, and installed CWM using ROM Manager.
I then flashed Cyanogenmod 7 to my phone.
Everything was going great. Pretty much everything worked on the ROM and I was having a great time playing around with it and getting everything set up how I liked it....
until this morning.
I woke up, checked facebook using H+, so I know it was connected to the internet this morning, and then the next time I picked my phone up, it wouldn't connect to the internet! I didn't change any settings or anything between when it was working and when it stopped working. I did have Juice defender installed and if you have ever used that, it has a little shield icon in the status bar that tells you what it is disabling to conserve battery. It had a red circle next to it, indicating that it was disabling my internet. The drop-down also said something like "Data Disabled - (Data/User)"
So I tried disabling Juice defender. No luck. I completely uninstalled Juice defender and rebooted. Still no luck. The only change I had made to my phone recently was installing some crappy N64 emulator, so i uninstalled and rebooted, still no luck. I rebooted into recovery and cleared my cache. Still nothing.
So I'm kinda stuck. My internet suddenly decided not to work and I've tried everything I can think of trying short of going back to the stock ROM and doing it all over again.
So does anyone have any advice to offer?
P.S. - My phone signal works fine. I can send texts and make calls, I just cant get on the internet. No, I'm not in flight mode! :good:
Let me know if you need any other info to diagnose this issue. I've provided everything I can think of but I'm sure I'm missing something.
Also a completely unrelated issue: When I'm using my phone and plug it into a wall charger it becomes unbearably laggy. frame rate is in the single digits, buttons don't respond, etc. Any idea on that either?
Try getting rid of rom manager. I heard its borked. Go back to stock and flash the froyo community kernel through froyo. You can find it on the super everything thread. (That thread is stickied I believe)
That will give you cwm and from there you are good to go.
As far as the charging thing, my phone and my wife's phone does the same thing since the charger that came with my phone broke. Try a different charger.
