I've flashed different radios and the oxygen firmware, still my signal fluctuates all without me moving the phone on my desk. Ideas?
Signal also drops out for no reason.
I'm having the same issue with mine as well, bumping your thread to get it noticed. I haven't flashed a different radio, but I'm running the stock COS12.1 ROM, never rooted, and always updated via OTA updates. I think this occured with COS12 as well, but I'm noticing it more with 12.1. I've also noticed that it takes the phone quite a while to switch over from WiFI to LTE when I leave the house...not sure if it's related.
I'm looking to avoid doing any modding to my phone at the moment because I really need to have it active at all times to receive calls, but the fact that it randomly loses signal is frustrating.
I logged the network activity last night over the course of several hours at 10 second intervals. [Edit: Phone was stationary on my nightstand the whole time with the occasional picking it up to look at the time.] There are quite a few points where signal is lost. Usually it's only for a few seconds, but it seems like it's enough to miss calls (what prompted me to log the signal is when I received a voicemail but did not have any missed calls).
Does anyone know if there's a fix for this? The app I used for logging is "Network Monitor" from the Play Store.
Still not convinced after flashing 44s didn't help then flashing the updated Oxygen firmware still nothing. My signal will go from to bars to emergency calls only. Deleted all the Unneeded apns.
Rom: Resurrection Remix.
Service Provider: Net10 using AT&T towers.
When did this start happening: As soon as I updated my firmware to the latest Cm 12.1 per RR thread.
I've tried everything i can think of, even using the hidden phone menu to select LTE/GSM. Still no luck. Every once in a while when i am at a place where i get good signal this isn't an issue. Seems to happen when i get 3 bars or less.

Just confirming this as an issue on Ting, I was on the 12.1 Nightly's, I also tried Exodus. I can be at close to full service and for some reason signal will drop out constantly, yesterday I had a 22% time without signal according to battery stats.
Clicking on network operators and selecting the correct one only temperately fixes the problem.
Solved the same exact issue on my phone
Had the same issue on mine after updating to 12.1 OTA. Selecting my APN didn't work, my connection kept going in and out to my carrier. It was as though the radio would shut off and then turn back on every 15 seconds or so. I reset default APN's, and all is back to normal T-Mobile, for what it's worth.

I've tried that no luck.
I fixed this on my phone, I reset to default apns, selected the correct one and then deleted all APNs that weren't mine. According to GSam i'm at 57% in 15h 34m
No luck, tried that.
Should I try to fastboot flash the 44s modem?
I've been using Phil's cwm and I don't think it's flashing right. Because I went back to a May 2015 nightly of cm 12.1 then flashed 44s and nuclearslim 1.3 ,bam everything works perfectly.

You can't use a KitKat modem with a Lollipop ROM or you'll have prox sensor issues.
I have the proximity fix file, should I fastboot flash though.
I think Ill just fastboot flash the 44s, and why isn't Phil's saving my backups. It wiped them when I wiped the user info. Left my other files.

Not sure, I never had that issue. switched to the
XNPH05Q modem after my phone for what ever reason was stuck in a bootloop. I had this problem solved before it bootlooped. Here I am back with the same problem, I even followed the steps that i used to fix it last time. Nope not working this time, Some how Using XenonHd, my signal stength is all over whille sitting in the same place. Starting to think that my sim card may be going downhill. Any ideas?

Ok here is the problem... I rooted the phone, played with some settings, explored the android platform in general. Somehow, my data has stopped working. I can make calls and send texts no problem, when I try to access internet or google play store, it fells me that I have no data connection available or something of the sort. I have tried flashing different roms, played around with switching between Global and Lte/cdma radio bands. When I switch bands, I get either 4g or 3g, but within half hour it stops working again. After a restart, same thing happens, it worka and then atops. I figure there is something messed up with the modem. Please advise.
Also, anyone else experiencing sudden restarts with CleanRom 5.0? My phone reboots every once in a while for no apparent reason.

Have you tried flashing a different modem?
Worst come to worse, ODIN back to 100% stock and start over.

No clue how to flash a modem
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34053-of...zon-sgs3-sch-i535-odin-or-recovery-flashable/
Pick the latest from the right column and flash in recovery as you would a ROM.

Looked into it a bit more.... my 4g or 3g works after a restart as long as there is a demand for it, ex. While surfing or streaming radio, as soon as there is no demand, the phone shuts it off and I can't turn it back on. It tells me no signal found for mobile networks. While voice and mssg still work. I refreshed the modem and that didn't help. Short of going back to stock, any other suggestions?
Been using my nexus 5 just fine up until today, no problems to speak of what so ever. And now my mobile data stopped working. So there are two potential things which could have caused this;
1) Switched to a new carrier earlier in the week, mobile data worked fine for a couple days up until today
2) Updated to 4.4.3 the evening before this problem started occuring. I'm thinking this is the cause, but not ruling out a bad simcard or anything.
Now, for all this, calls still work, wifi still works, bluetooth still works, it is just mobile data.
Before I updated I was on 4.4.2 w/ franco's 52 kernel, rooted, xposed installed, no other mods.
After I updated using jd1639's ktu84m UpDater (dirty flash) with xposed uninstalled, and went to bed.
Woke up the next morning, went to work, and data worked for a while, but eventually stopped working for a couple hours, came back for about half an hour, then went back out again. Has said it was connected to HUSPA, HSPA+, or LTE at various times, but when I try to load a webpage or anything else that uses data, it drops the connection and says it is connected again a couple seconds later, but still doesn't work. Tried toggling airplane mode and disabling and reenabling mobile data, not change.
Got home, thought it might be the radio, so I flashed the 4.4.2 radio. Now in the statusbar it shows constant diconnecting and reconnecting to the mobile network, still doesn't work. Flash back to 4.4.3 radio, back to how it was on 4.4.3 originally.
Figured it was time to do a clean flash using Vomer's Stock 4.4.3 KTU84M (flashable), so I open TWRP, do a factory reset in the wipe menu, then flash the zip, flash supersu, and reboot. Still no change.
Double checked my APN settings, all looks to be as it should
Anyone have any ideas what the problem could be?
Okay so last night I installed CM 10.2.1 on my Samsung galaxy S3 (Verizon SCH-1535)
Everything's running smoothly but for some reason I don't have any service anymore
I'm using a Family Mobile SIM card and APN, still have my IMEI and MEID but in the phone status screen PRL version, MIN and my phone number show up as unknown. Also it says that my mobile network state is disconnected.
Right now I can't send texts and call anyone. However I still do get automated billing texts...
Not sure what to do right now. I still have a CWM backup of the stock ROM. I'm rather new to this custom ROM and bootloader thing so I'm worried that I'll accidentally brick my phone.
Nevermind, i fixed it!
What did you do to fix this? I've had almost the exact same experience over the past couple of days but haven't managed to recover my service.
Background: Flashed back to Alliance 23 (TW 4.3) to see if TW would solve anything and it didn't. I've flashed the ML1 modem and NE1 and still nothing. I even went to a Verizon store to replace my SIM in case the PRL got botched somehow. I can receive texts and send texts sometimes but not consistently, cannot make or receive phone calls.
On Alliance I have the CDMA/LTE/EVDO network mode selected (defaults to global). I was previously trying out CM12.1 and had issues with the modem type sticking to LTE/CDMA (auto prl), after reboots it would switch back to LTE/GSM and the network modes presented were LTE, 3G, and 2G which didn't seem right.
The last time I had a fully functioning radio was with SlimKat Stable. Was having issues sending/receiving MMS and figured it was time to upgrade so went to CM12.1. Since I've tried flashing Alliance and other versions of CM I don't think flashing back to SlimKat will do much but I guess that's next on my list..
I feel like I'm missing something simple. Anyone have ideas?

I may have managed to fix this. Remembering the IMEI issues that happened early on in this phone's life I figured it might have something to do with that.
My IMEI was correct in my phone status, however my phone number and MIN were not correct (phone was 000-000-0023 or something strange) and my MIN was 00. Something definitely broken there.
Steps:
It requires you to have an IMEI backup already. I had done the reboot nvbackup from adb ages ago and decided to give it a shot with a reboot nvrestore.
Phone rebooted but was stuck on the Samsung logo...uh oh.
Had to do a battery pull and reboot to recovery manually.
Restored Alliance 4.3 backup and voila! Full service, phone number and MIN were correct.
Restored my CM12.1 backup image I had been trying out. Right off the bat there was still the same issue of no service.
Dialed the phone info menu (*#*#4636#*#*) and changed preferred network type to CDMA only, ping test succeeded.
Went to Settings | Mobile Networks and things looked more normal which was a great sign. My Preferred network type was actually blank, so I selected LTE (recommended).
Tried a test call to #832 and success!
Rebooted to make sure everything sticks and it does.
That was not a fun experience...still not entirely sure what actually broke but I've got a usable phone again and to top it off it's on CM12.1 which is just awesome so far
I'm on ok4 baseband, running aokp mm currently.
anytime I drive thru a dead zone, my phone isn't re-acquiring a mobile data Signal. I have to reboot before mobile data comes back.
It happens 100% of the time a signal loss occurs, and maybe 50% of the time when I leave the house, phone will not switch from Wi-Fi to LTE, again forcing me to reboot.
I've been searching here and google but can't find another instance of this issue. Any ideas?
I've seen the same issue on cm13 and dirty unicorns 5.1 also.
Previously I was on slimrom 4.4 and data switching was seamless. I'm on Virgin Mobile/kltespr and have Mms working thru textra as well as the standard apn fix in place.
I'm not a noob, but this one has me stumped. Any info you guys can provide would be awesome.
try flashing the OK4 in odin again, sounds like a modem issue. Make a backup of your current ROM first so you can just restore it afterwards. Youll have to flash TWRP in odin also. Not a huge PITA IMO (ill stop with the recursive acronyms now ) but if anything will get this fixed for you, that should do it. Also, does toggling airplane mode get it back on the network?
This is a Galaxy S5 on the Sprint Network with Lineage OS version from a few weeks ago.
Last week this was working fine and then since Sunday cell service stopped working completely. The only change I did was updating TWRP, I did not update LineageOS, but I can't imagine TWRP would have affected it. I ended up reverting back to the stock ROM thinking I would have to call Srpint customer service, but then it started working under the stock ROM. Reflashed TWRP and Lineage OS and no service. Tried older and newest versions of TWRP and Lineage OS but nothing works except stock ROM (yuck).
The cellular connection says "no service" with completely empty bars. About every 5 seconds it will flash like it is connected, with most bars and the little R for roaming, then immediately goes back to "no service". I've tried changing preferred networks and looked at settings but can't find anything to fix it.
Any ideas? It's almost like the network is rejecting it but I don't see why it would matter if it is a custom ROM.
EDIT: oh yeah and on start up it says "Activating cellular service... This may take up to 5 minutes" or and then after a while says "Couldn't Activate" and that it may be fixed by restarting the phone (which of course doesn't fix it). Also I'm not entirely sure if it is related to roaming or not.
EDIT2: I'm wondering/betting this has something to do with the ICCID number. I noticed with Lineage OS installed it says "DUMMY_NV_ICC_SERIAL" but with the stock ROM it is a long string of digits. Now maybe I can change the ICCID on Lineage OS? Or maybe Lineage OS isn't reading my sim card properly (from googling what ICCID is)?
I'm having similar issues trying to use this phone on FreedomPop. It looks like the cell services sometimes continually crashes/restarts - a reboot usually clears that up. I also get no LTE data (3G works fine). I have the correct APN AFAIK (https://support.freedompop.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3322/~/apn-settings---lte-sim). Possibly related to the "DUMMY_NV_ICC_SERIAL" issue?
I've been experiencing this issue for a few weeks now. My LTE data is functional but I cannot send SMS while using 4G. The activation screen pops up when I restart my phone, and it will only activate under Sprint 3G service. I also have the same issue with the flashing service bars, every couple of seconds -- the only way I've found to remedy the lack of service is to turn roaming on and off -- after so many tries, the prompt to select my sim card pops up and it finally connects to the sprint network.
I dont know why this has worked for me but its been a struggle and a wicked pita for me. I use Tello as a provider which is a sprint mvno. This last time to get cell signal i had to flash a stock rom via odin doing a full factory wipe to the phone. I booted into the stock rom to make sure i had lte connectivity. Then booted to download, flashed twrp via odin. Booted into twrp. installed remastered remix 5.7? The next to latest ( marshmello version not neuget ) then booted into RR. Once there i switched it from global to LTE and added the tello apn. I can not connect but i have no idea why this worked. I would love it if someone could tell me why this worked and what i can do in the future to save myself some headaches, flashing factory rom every time i want to change a rom sucks.
