Mobile Data and Wifi connection problem - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been having a problem recently where even though both wifi and mobile data say they are connected, I can't acutally get online. I see an error v30 toast pop up regarding voicemail (if that's related) and when I try to use a browser, it doesn't load the page and gives me a dns error message.
This happens across rooms (after clean installs, every time) and even after wiping dalvik, cache, data, system, and internal multiple times in TWRP and doing a data format on internal multiple times, then flashing stock ok4 in Odin. Still no data. I then hunted down the ok4 modem and flashed that through Odin - nothing. So not even going back to stock (at least the way I'm doing it) fixes it.
The only thing that works is that I have a nandroid backup of the stock, rooted, deodexed ok4 rom with the kt kernel, which can connect via wifi and/or mobile data. If I want data though, I'm stuck on this rom. (When mobile data is turned off on this rom, there's an exclamation point by the network signal. Not sure if that's related.)
(If it's related, I've also been getting an invalid card error instead of seeing the carrier name on asop roms.)
Anyone know how to repair this?

Sorry if this was addressed elsewhere, but after searching for a while, I couldn't find anyone with this type of problem.

[Q] Phone displays UTC time instead of CST

My wife's Infuse was running Serendipity VII, but she started having some problems so I re-flashed it with Zeus (just wiped cache, not user data). The Serendipity problems were resolved, but there were other problems. I wiped the cache AND did a factory reset/wipe user data and re-flashed Zeus. The same problems persisted.
So, I wiped the cache and user data again and went back to stock UCKD5 using Odin. Not the "GTG Ultimate Unbrick" package, but the "Stock Root Mod3e UCKD5 Odin."
Everything is running fine on her phone now except for one thing... the time on the phone is set to UTC. We live in the Central time zone which would be (UTC -6:00) and the clock is exactly 6 hours again. I can uncheck the option to update the time from the carrier and manually set it, so that's a workaround. But I want it working correctly.
I have enabled GPS and location tracking. I've rebooted (several times). I've pulled the battery for about 10 minutes. I've given it about 3 days now to try to work itself out. Google Maps shows our correct location. Even with Automatic time enabled, it shows we are in Central Standard Time.
What gives? And how do I fix it?
Try flashing a different modem. Some of the modems from Samsung's leaks have had issues with showing the correct time. Or else you could download an app from the market called clocksync which will sync your phone to the correct time zone

flash the UCKL2 modem..or alternatively any modem on this page with an asterisk by it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342978
though..the UCKL2 modem seems to work nicely.
the stock modem (and a few other ones) don't automatically set the right time. just a bug in them.
It's not a modem problem. GTG's Unbrick restores your phone to stock including a modem that doesn't have the problem originally. It doesn't erase your internal sd storage.
I had the same problem and the only fix was to do a factory reset from within Android (erases your internal sd storage).
You can try just deleting all the directories created by the OS or formatting the internal storage from CWM, but from personal experience a factory reset from Settings/Privacy worked for me.
Actually, it was a modem issue. Flashing UCKL2 fixed the time problem. But that eventually lead to other problems sending long text messages. Read my continuing adventures here, or, long story short, I went back to stock with "Ultimate Unbrick," then from there reflashed Zeus, then flashed UCKI3 modem. I wiped all cache, did factory reset, AND formatted internal SD card between each step. All is well, now.

[Q] "Package file is invalid" error on stock ROM & CleanROM Stand 3.0

I was lucky enough to get one of the earlier batches (pre import ban) of the AT&T HTC One XLs and I have enjoyed having it over the past 5-6 weeks. A few weeks back I decided to root my phone and unlock it as I wasn't having any luck upgrading via the OTA update. I believe that soon afterwards I started having a problem installing some larger files and updates, getting a "Package file is invalid" message via Google Play.
At first this only seemed to happen occasionally but a few days back, it started occurring with practically any update or install. I tried cleaning the dalvik and other caches, factory reset, and wiped the SD card without any improvement. Yesterday I decided to make the leap and install CleanROM, both out of curiosity and a hope to resolve my problem. I wiped the system via the recovery bootloader, wiped the cache, wiped the dalvik cache, and wiped the SD card and installed CleanROM. While the install went well and CleanROM is running perfectly, I still get the package invalid method with any install larger than 1mb or so. I am frustrated about this problem as I have enjoyed this phone up to this point. If anyone have any suggestions to resolve this repeated error I would be very grateful. Thanks.
I think you followed almost all the step. But i think there is a issue on your network connection. Try to download new apps over the WiFi. I think you can't use any other mobile network ( i think you have network locked phone).
also check theses things. http://www.thespicygadgematics.com/2011/12/fix-android-package-file-is-invalid.html

Thanks for the suggestion but it turns out exactly the opposite is true. I have been trying to install programs over wifi and they keep failing with the invalid package file message. After reading your suggestion, I turned off the wifi and tried installing several larger programs via the mobile network - they all downloaded and installed without a hitch! Crazy.
So, it looks like my problem might have something more to do with either my wifi network/router or with some aspect of the wifi hardware or software on my phone. Tomorrow I am going to try accessing and installing files from a different network and will post my results then.

[Q] No Mobile Data

I'm kind of worried at this point. After looking through some threads I found with a search for a similar problem I'm going to make my own.
Problem: No data at all. About section of phone says:
Network: Unknown
Mobile network type: Unknown
Service state: Out of service
Mobile network state: disconnected
I do still have an IMEI.
It happened in the middle of normal operation, browsing the web with stock browser with CM10.1 (4.2) with the 1/20 nightly.
What I've tried: Already reset SIM card, toggled Mobile Data and everything data related I can find in the Settings menu. I've data wiped and flashed the same nightly through recovery along with the same gapps .zip that was all working halfway through the day. I got home from work and tried using Odin to flash back to a pre-rooted full wipe 4.1.1 ROM found using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984436
The first time it booted up to the stock startup screen and just hung. Cleared data through recovery, booted into Odin and tried again and it booted up, but still no data. That's where I am now. I just don't know what else to try. I see some stock radio flash instructions but I'm really not sure what that accomplishes if I'm already flashing stock ROMs. The trouble is I know just enough about this to break stuff.
Does anyone have any recommendations or ideas?

SOLUTION: Settings > Mobile Network > Network Mode - was set to GSM/UMTS in 4.1.1 pre-rooted ROM. changed to LTE/CDMA and resolved. Can't believe I overlooked that.
Thanks.

Lost all Mobile Data connectivity

So a week ago I did a fresh install of Lollipop via the factory image for LRX21O, rooted it, and installed Franco's kernel #68. Everything worked great until yesterday as it seems I've lost all mobile data connectivity. I can still make phone calls and text messages, but data is a no go when mobile. So far here's what I tried:
Made sure the APN was Correct
Cycled Flight Mode
Cycled Power
Pulled & Re-Installed SIM Card
Cleared the Cache
Factory Reset
Re-flashed Stock Kernel
Flashed Android 4.4.4 Radio
Re-Flashed Lollipop Factory Image
Restored Previous known working install of Android 4.4.4 via TWRP
Made sure there were no billing issues with my carrier.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm especially concerned and convinced its not specifically a Lollipop problem (though that doesn't mean it didn't cause it) since it did not restore functionality when I flashed back KitKat. I've never used 3rd Party ROMs on this phone, only rooted stock. My carrier is SimpleMobile.

Maybe you need to contact your carrier?
You're not alone, I'm having the same problem since going to 5.0. I use Red Pocket on AT&T's network. Can't get mobile data working at all. Contacted Red Pocket and they reset my data on their end but still a no-go. Wi-Fi fine, calls and SMS fine. MMS, like data, doesn't work.
I guess I'll pick up another MVNO card to make sure it isn't still Red Pocket's issue. I have another SIM, but unfortunately my T-Mobile card, which is usually in a Lumia 1520, doesn't work for data on the Nexus 5 because that is on their blocked list of phones (stupid carriers).

com.android.phone has stopped; how to deal with this?

Hi everybody,
2 day ago, I got an error message on my Opo: "com.android.phone has stopped" and ever since it has been popping up every minute or so, or sometimes every 10 seconds when I'm on my phone. The most annoying thing is that sometimes when I get that error message I also loose my network, so I can't make any phonecalls/use my 3G.
I was looking at the Crash Report and I saw this message:
"[crash] com.android.mms.service threw java.lang.NullPointerException"
I remember the first time this error happened was when I was writing a message and suddenly the interface was stuttering and everything was going very slow. Rebooted and then I started getting those errors
I followed some instructions found here, on Opo forums and on android central:
1) go to apps and clear the cache/data from phone, sim-toolkit, messaging and messaging service and reboot
2) perform a soft reset (via the phone)
3) perform a hard reset (factory reset via the recovery menu)
4) install custom recovery, enable root and reflash the rom
None of these solved the problem. But I also don't have the feeling that a hard reset
Moreover, after a reset, I still see folders from apps I had before the reset. Including pictures in my picture folder that I had downloaded prior to the factory reset. This doesn't seem like a factory reset to me, is there any way to wipe everything clean?
*edit*
This is the log of the error report that I get:
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'long com.android.internal.telephony.SmsMessageBase.getTimestampMillis()' on a null object reference

When I had the error my settings were:
ROM: Cyanogen 12.0-YNG1TAS0YL
Kernel: 3.4.67-cyanogenmod-g1cbb9b0 build04cyanogenmod #1
No custom recovery
I've trying to fix the error, installing custom recovery, enabling root mode and reflashing the official cyanongen 12 rom. Still the problem persisted.

You forgot to provide details (ROM, Kernel, recovery, mods, etc.)
java.lang.NullPointerException usually means that the code calls for some value and it is not available.

Sorry, I added details in the initial post under "edit2". In short, I started having the error with the Stock rom/recovery. Didn't fiddle with anything. Out of frustration I decided to install twrp, enable root and reflash the rom. Didn't work, problem happened again as soon as I booted up my phone. I feel it has to do something with the sim-toolkit? As soon as it access the network it starting to nuke the error, then loses network, then regains network, especially when I'm trying to write a message. In airplane mode it doesn't happen.

It can be that or modem issue or something got corrupted on the /data partition.

Any way I can fix this from within twrp? How do I figure out what is exactly corrupted?

Trial and error. The easiest way is to wipe your device clean (system, cache, dalvik and data - storage not needed) and flash the ROM again. Also try to flash the latest available.

Didn't work. Still get nuked by the error. I decided to flash OxygenOS (after system, cache, dalvik and data wipe). Now I don't have the error anymore, luckily.
But I still have problems with texting. I can receive texts from friends, but not from my girlfriend who has an iPhone. She can receive my texts and my MMS, but I don't receive anything from her. The problem is partly solved, but not completely. I feel it's still somewhat related to the original problem.

Well, then it must hardware related or problem with your carrier.
