[Q] No data on Samsung Galaxy S5 Virgin Mobile(G900P) - General Questions and Answers

So i recently flashed cyanogen mod 12.1 for my galaxy s5 ... Everything seems to be working well except for one major thing, that being mobile data...... there is a exclamation point in the Bar/Internet notification at the top, and I can't access anything on the web without using WiFi. This might be because I'm using the Sprint flash for my Virgin Mobile phone, but they are the same model G900P. I've tried in the mobile network setting changing the access point name to virgin mobile, but it still isn't working . I'm not sure if I should change any of these settings under the virgin mobile access point settings or what I should do. Please help someone before I resort back to stock Touch wiz

Did you do a full wipe and the dalvik also? If not, that might be the problem.

It's my understanding that although Virgin, Boost, Replublic, and Sprint all use the same network, the phones themselves aren't compatible with the other "carriers". It's interesting that regular telephony works, but this could be because you flashed the firmware, just like flashing phones from 10 years ago often worked. Sprint uses CDMA for telephony, so perhaps this is why this works, but data, which uses GSM, does not. It's also my understanding that the way Sprint determines network compatibility is by the ESN/IMEI. CDMA will also be part of the phone itself, whereas GSM info will be on the SIM card, so that might have something to do with it as well.
I'm doing a lot of guessing here, so take my "understanding" with the appropriate amount of salt grains.
Did everything work properly before you flashed CM?

I can change the carrier selection option under sprint to virgin mobile, but it still doesn't work... if that helps... and yeah, calls are fine but mobile data is a no no also yes everything else in the rom installed properly

No Sim card issue
Running Bliss pop 4 (cm12.1) on vmu g900p.
3g and telephony work out of the box but 4g does not. Lock screen says no Sim card. I have called virgin to verify that my Sim card number matches what they have on file. And searched low and high for solutions. Any idea?

Sorry to bring back a dead topic, but did you finally get a solution to your problem? I am facing the same thing with a g900p on RingPlus. (purchased from Freedompop) I managed to get data when i flash back to a the stock Sprint rom.

Belgium BASE network issues

Hi,
I'm a quite newbie in the htc android tweaking world, so please be a bit understanding.
I know that there was a thread like this on this forum, but I couldn't find now. I'm sorry for that. If anyone can point me that thread, I will paste my post there, and ask for closing this one. I know that it is annoying when users create multiple threads with the same topic.
Well, I bought my phone on an auction as British T-mobile branded, but sim lock has been removed. I used it in Poland without problem, but when I got to Belgium I started to have major issues with Base network.
Since the phone had simlock removed not legal way, I S-offed with revolutionary (my HBOOT since then is in version 6.something - is this good or bad?), then rooted, finally debranded by installing original, signed Europe ROM, although I tried several roms before.
I used ClockworkMod as my recovery tool, but recently I read that it is deprecated, so I flashed it with 4ext recovery. I'm happier with the new tool.
Anyway, My problem is that before I could not use any simcard from BASE, the phone refused to connect saying that sim card refuses the connection.
It was with any andy version, so I actually applied the 1.47.401.4 update that everyone hates, and I didn't see any difference.
Then, very recently I found a post about a new radio version 20.48.300822U_3822.09.08.20_M. I applied it, and also copied the RIL files. It got better, I finally can connect. I had to drink for that Two months of fighting...
But every time the signal drops badly, the phone disconnects from the network and refuses to connect again saying that sim card doesn't allow connecting this network, and shows notification that BASE network is unavailable. Despite that, GPRS data connection is active, and I can connect to internet. Isn't that odd?
Then I need to reboot to 4EXT, and whipe Cache and Dalvik cache. It usually happens once per day - at my work, where I have quite network signal. Supprisingly after cache whiping, the phone can connect, and it seems that signal strength gets better...
I'm glad that after clearing the cache everything works, but I would be even more happy if I wouldn't have to do it... Does anyone know the problem? Has experienced something like this? Has a solution?
Should I use the new 2.3.5 based official rom? Can I transfer data somehow, so when I flash the phone, I still have the data that was there before flashing?
Hey, i'm on Mobile Vikings wich uses the BASE network but i never had anything like this before, could it be a kernel issue?

In short:
My phone was original British T-Mobile branded. I s-off my phone, rooted, changed roms but I still had no connectivity to Base in Belgium. I tried experimental roms, original roms, branded roms, radios... but nothing changed. After switching to original HTC European rom, applying 1.47.401.4 update and flashing the newest radio, I have connectivity, but still in bad signal range, my phone would disconnect from Base, and display me a message that the sim card doesn't allow connecting to this network. Then I need to boot to 4EXT, clear cache and dalvik cache, and after reboot everything works fine for a day or two...
Update:
Today clearing cache didn't work... After searching for network, I select BASE and I get a message saying that sim card refuses to connect to this network. Clearing cache, going to flight mode, just restarting the phone - nothing works... What else can I do?
There is one another thing I find weird - in mobile networks settings, every time I select network mode WCMDA or GSM, it always goes back to "WCMDA/GSM Auto" and I can't chage that.
Buy proximus or mobistar. I reccomend mobistar, best signal in BE

Yeah, but they have expensive internet. If I had just for calls, I would not buy belgian sim card at all, but use my polish number. Call prices are not that much different in roaming...
By the way, I switched to the new, 2.3.5 OTA update based rom by proxuser, but still no luck.
After many hours of stuggling, searching for answers - I found another thing that helps me: sim card needs to have a pin lock enabled. That's crazy, but works - When I loose my connectivity (described above), I reboot the phone, enter pin and everything works fine... sometimes I need to switch to a drifferent pin locked card first...
It would be better if I had not to do it everytime I loose range... So I see that sim settings are also somehow cached and switching to other sim card that has pin enabled cleans that cache. is there a way to clean that cache without having to switch sim cards?
Where can I find this cache? is it a file that could be deleted (or cleared)? formatting /cache partition, as well as clearing Dalvik cache didn't work, so I guess it is not there...
Because the procedure to renew the connection looks now like this:
1. turn off the phone
2. enter sim card that you know that will connect
2. boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache, reboot
3. provide pin and wait until it connects to a network
4. power off, switch card to the belgian one, power on
5. wait until it connects by it self. if it doesn't start from point 1...
it usually catches after 1 or second time...
agh, ity only worked for some time... now nothing works... I can not even connect to BASE using any other sim cards that are in roaming... I'm able to connect with other mobile phones, but not this... But it connects to Mobistar and Proximus without problems... I'm suspecting some kind of a defect that appears only with this network. But since I don't have warranty to that phone, I can't send it to the service...
I will try to return to stock rom again...
Now I'm using the phone with my Polish sim card in roaming, but actually I can't use internet then, and all I wanted it for was mobile networking... For a phone just for calling and sending messages any other phone that costs half of the price would be ok...

[Q] Need help with connectivity issues. DESPERATE

Hey guys, quick background. I bricked my SGS3 and had to have it replaced. I think I got a refurb phone because from day one I keep having the same issue. First day I got the replacement phone I rooted it and flashed CleanROM 5.0. Everything was peachy until I noticed that I have no 4G or 3G service. In fact, I had no data connectivity at all. My phone can make calls, receive texts no problem, won't connect to internet. If I restart the phone, I have 4G right away. After a few minutes, the 4G icon is on, but the phone won't has no data connection (when I say data connection I mean it will not go online, no internet, no android market, still have voice and txts). If I attempt to go on internet, I get a message saying "No Signal Found For Mobile Networks". I have installed Network Signal Info and right after a restart it says 4G LTE, data connected, upload+download activity. After a few minutes, it says 4G LTE, data connected, after a little while, it will switch to EHRPD, with data "connecting". Also, in the System tab, it will tell me my IEMI and version of JB running, next to "Radio", it says "unknow". WiFi works perfectly btw. My IEMI is perfectly fine,
I had it backed up. My phone number is still there.
Here is what I had tried so far: Switching into and out of Airplane mode, different programs that reset mobile connection, flashed different custom ROMs, flashed the stock kernel, flashed 3 or 4 verizon Modems, Data wipe, cache, Dalvik wipe, Odin'ed back to stock 4.0.1 ICS and had upgraded it to 4.1.1 via verizon software update, changed the SIM card, and reprovisioned the phone with that *3767*whatever the hell code. I'm out ideas.
If anyone has any other idea that I can try before I take it back to Verizon, please, let me know.

Did you go into your mobile data settings to make sure you're on CDMA/LTE? If not I would select and reboot the phone and see if the problem persists. I don't know if you have tried this but it's worth a shot.
I'm having literally the same exact problem with my mom's S3 except for it's not rooted, complete with 'download + upload activity' and 'unknown' radio. I've yet to find anything in my search, but if I do I'll post it here.

[Q] WiFi hotspot connects to other machines, but provides no data.

Hi:
I recently moved an unlocked phone to a new carrier (Virgin Mobile, Canada).
The WiFi hotspot connects fine to other (Win7/Win8) machines, but no data gets through.
USB tethering works as it should as do all the on phone internet data functions I have tried.
I have looked at all the setting I can find values for in the APN menu, thanks to another poster in this forum) but all seem correct. The hotspot setup itself has not changed from the, previously, working one.
Tech support at both the carrier and the phone manufacturer are not able to help and now are pointing to the other side so I am on my own at this point.
Any ideas?

That is the problem in android. Somethings "something" will change, causing it to malfunction. I have seen a loot of those problems, even in real life and here on xda. I recomend if you have custom recovery to do a full wipe, and if you are willing to, install a custom rom.

[Q] No mobile data after reverting from CM to stock

Okay, so I've been searching the net for days and to no avail. I installed the new Cyanogenmod on my Nexus 5 and found it, well, awful. It kept hanging, restarting etc. Now when I tried to revert back to stock, I downloaded the image file from developers/google/com/android/nexus/images, and there's no 4g. No mobile data whatsoever. I can call, the Wi-Fi is working, but no mobile data. I've tried factory resetting, installing a different radio zip etc. When I install Cyanogenmod again, the 4g works again, but after going back to stock nothing again. Any help?
Wow, this is stupid, but after trying everything, including running every new stock rom, I tried installing the 4.4 (KRT16M) AND IT FINALLY WORKED. I'm gonna leave this up for anyone in the same situation as me.
Well, would you guess, the problem's back, but from a different angle. After installing 4.4.0, and letting the device upgrade itself to 4.4.4, the data worked perfectly. Now I tried to install the android L developer preview and again no data connection.
Does anyone have any idea if it could be a regional issue or something? I tried flashing older radio zip files but to no avail, now back to 4.4.0 .
Try setting a new APN with your carrier settings.
I lost connection all together last Saturday. I flashed CM 11,Friday and all was well. Received a call Saturday, it rang once then lost connection. Had to reboot four times to regain service and that was short lived. After any call incoming or outgoing, I lose service. All APNs are present. WiFi works. SIM alert when SIM is removed. SIM works fine in my N4. Did a complete tear down and it's not hardware related.
---------- Post added at 09:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 PM ----------
Sim works fine in my N4 also
If you loose signal might be a radio problem, still if you have signal but no connectivity try with the new APN, android (CM, stock unless carrier stock) had errors in the APN list for my carrier and I had to manually add it each time I used a new rom for several years.

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.
