I have a Vodafone S6 that has been network unlocked and was working fine on T Mobile
around 2 weeks ago I started getting occasion baseband unknown errors (No GSM Connection at all)
Leave the phone off over night and the following day it works
I have flashed new stock roms and the same thing happened,
It will be fine for a period then drop off
Any ideas? the fact its intermittent makes me think it has to be a software thing right?
Hmmm....maybe a defictive SIM card...

First I will state that after 4+ hours spent in front of google I haven't found any similar issue. Today the One S offered me to install the android "jelly bean" update. After the update the phone worked normally, except for the fact I was continually getting disconnected from the network. Now I have no signal at all (no internet and no calls). After swapping the sim card for sim cards of different carriers (phone is not sim-locked), I noticed I was getting only 2G signal, 3G networks don't show up.
Probably that's why I get no signal on my original carrier since it only provides 3G signal. As a last resort I rooted the phone and installed Cyanogenmod 10 thinking it would somehow help. Maybe the problem is with the antenna? Even if the phone was fine before updating?
Phone specs:
-HTC one S (S4)
-Baseband: 1.08ts.50.02.16_10.08e.50.04L
-Kernel version: 3.0.51-geb1844c
-Carrier IL Pelephone (Originally from Vodafone)

Now that you have CM10 installed (or a CM10 base ROM, I would suggest JellyBam), you should go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998270 and try flashing different baseband radios. You should be able to flash different radios on CM10 regardless of your hboot version or whether you got a recent OTA update. If you are having signal problems, it doesnt hurt to test out different radios to see if in fact it is a software problem.
No success. Tried all radios with same results. Sometimes the phone will connect to the network for a minute or two and then disconnect. Also does somebody know how to switch the baseband frequencies on the One S? I tried the DEFY but it always threw an error.
Come on! Nothing left to do? I will just trash the phone because htc don't know how to update thier phone without completely screwing it up? I have no use for a 4G phone that only runs on 2G networks.

You say it's HTC fault although nothing happened to me. Sometimes hardware comes with defects and you were unlucky enough to have one. And btw one s hasn't gotten a jelly bean update yet. If it's only 30MBs It's not jb

Probably, but it worked fine before the update. I know it wasn't a jellybean update, just changed a bit the menus. It's just a shame that I have to throw the phone away like this, it was a nice upgrade to the iphone 4.
Hello,
Its been 3 weeks with Z3 and i have been having serious trouble with my network provider Vodafone, Mumbai. Didnt have this issue on my previous lumia 920 or OPO.
the network just goes "no network". even if i manually locate my home n/w and apply, it goes to a never ending loop. only a reboot fixes the issue.
Happens randomly many times a day. i just upgraded to lollypop, the issue has worsened.
Any suggestions? although i didnt face with vodafone on my previous phones as stated, i had to get a new nano sim for this connection for Z3. i tried checking the sim tray.. and as you know, it sits upside down when the phone's display is facing up.. might be a connectivity issue between sim card and the contacts?
Reset to factory settings. Try this. Since you just upgraded to Lollipop, it's best to do it.
i downgraded to kitkat. i have never faced network issue (even if i get no signal, it quickly recovers when there is signal). i am running the .77 kitkat version. would like to stay on this !!

It's ok, KK is more stable, soon to be Lollipop too.
Hi people,
So here is the thing. I brother gave me a D820 purchased in the USA and I was using it just fine until one fine day, it stopped seeing my network. It supports the GSM frequencies at 2G and 3G but it isn't even discovering the network.
On Vodafone India - Now, even when I do a manual search, my network isn't visible. It was working fine earlier but it just isn't now. I have tried everything from reflashing the whole thing, to trying out a custom ROM like CyanogenMod, including the CAF builds.
I have also tried flashing the old radio and that didn't help either.
On Airtel - What is funnier is that I used another network's SIM card and it seemed to be working perfectly for a few days and then the same problem appeared there too. Only this time, it was seeing the network, only wasn't registering on to it. It couldn't be a network issue because the same SIM card worked perfectly on another device.
Request any help to resurrect my paperweight Nexus 5 into being useful again.
Thanks in advance!

So you need to give more infomation. A lot of the stuff you're saying is pointless for example (I also tried flashing the ld radio???) there are a lot of radios for the nexus 5. (reflashing the whole thing???) what ROM were you on? what kernel? when and how did it stop working? what were you doing?
Be happy I replied lol it seems like you wrote the post in one big panic of a mess. so go ahead now.

You're right. I was in a state of panic.
The problem just happened. There was no reason for it, nothing. It just stopped detecting my network.
I have tried the following builds. And radios from these build separately, because as I understand, there were some WIFI issues with Lollipop to begin with:
1. KTU84P
2. LRX21O
3. LMY47I
More pointless info: Apart from these I have also tried the latest CyanogenMod 12.1 NIGHTLY (cm-12.1-20150419-NIGHTLY) with the CAF kernel and the standard CyanogenMod 12.1 AOSP NIGHTLY build.
what ROM were you on? - I was on stock KTU84P when the network stopped getting any sort of detection from the device.
what kernel? - Stock kernel that accompanied the above ROM. The phone was not even BL-Unlocked or rooted.
when and how did it stop working? - The when is a week ago. The how is a mystery.
what were you doing? - Nothing. I just woke up in the morning and found that my device has no service. Then I tried a manual network search and my network wouldn't show up. It works perfectly on other devices, the SIM card that is.
So, now I have a phone that doesn't work on my network.

My wife's Nexus 5 D820 has the same issue. Network worked fine on 4/13/2015, but zero network service the next day, 4/14/2015.
Did your problem happen on the same day? Are you on StaighTalk also?
Her phone was on stock software and still locked. Tried everything and figured it's a problem with the phone since putting my sim card in her phone didn't fix the problem. The phone detects sim cards and their registered phone #s, but zero network service. My guess is the cell antenna hardware broke.
We bought a different phone. Wish we could fix it! It would be nice to fix this Nexus 5 that functions fine except no cell service.

My problems started in April, yes. But I am not on StraightTalk. The problem first happened when I was on Vodafone India. Now, even in manual network search, the phone doesn't discover Vodafone at all.

Hey, I have the EXACT same problem. My Nexus 5 wont detect the Vodafone network in India! I tried all kinds of stuff - flashing the original stock rom, factory reset - nothing worked. All other networks are working fine. The same vodafone sim that wont work in the nexus is working absolutely fine in other phones. I am at my wits end - did you find any solution to this yet? Please let me know.
I have also been facing the same problem on vodafone.50% of the time i am unable to make or receive calls even when signal is present and if the call connects the call receiver cant hear me.The problem is also present in al the other ROMs and rradios i have tried.

No solution at all yet.. Just a very sophisticated paperweight..
Sent from my HTC One M8
I recently replaced my old N5 D820 (due to a battery issue) with a "like new" one from eBay. Problem is... Device looses LTE 4G connectivity after a phone call. It remains stuck on HSPA (3G) until the radio recycles from airplane mode or reboot. I've also seen intermittent "no service" issues.
I've upgraded and flashed back multiple stock ROMs from 5.1.1 to latest 6.01 to try to find a solution in the stock ROM versions, with no success. I've disabled location and Wi-Fi settings. Same result.
Network service is AT&T. I've called their support and they've provisioned the new IMEI. I've experimented with the *#*#4636#*#* phone testing menu setting including putting the phone LTE-only, and end up with "no service" after calls until a power cycle.
My old one never seemed to have this LTE issue/behavior. Any ideas?
Try reflshing radios. I was using the 4.4.2 radio, it is most battery friendly, but since a week i run latest radio. seems as good as the old one
Hi folks,
I've got my 2S for maybe 2-3 weeks, but found irritating issue..
I use to turn off cellular data connection when I'm not using it. In some cases (maybe 20%) I cannot connect again. The icon is turned on, still no app can connect to internet.
Since I've faced this in the past (on some SGS4 with custom ROM) I'm used to fix it by going into 2G mode, wait until it connects, then change to LTE. Then it works.
I'm running official Global 10.3 ROM (No root etc this time), 6/64, model name M1803D5XA, baseband AT4.0.c2.6-301-0326_0945_62d952e
Anyone knows a fix ?
I guess this https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-mix-2s/help/mi-mix-2s-lte-4g-bands-connection-t3919534
requires a root, right ?
Like this?
Just found this old thread of mine.
Yes, that was the issue, and I couldn't fix it anywhow (the phone was not tampered with at all, original firmware)
FInally I returned the phone to warranty and got money in return
