Hey everyone !
Like it says in the title , my mobile data is not working. As I open the drop down menu and tap the mobile data icon ,it lights up as though it is on but there is no connection sign in the top right corner , no 4G no nothing. I have been googling around quite a bit an I saw people with the same issue but as far as I know it was not resolved.
A little backstory : I updated to marshmallow 6.0.1 with no issues and after a week or so decided to root. ( my first time ) All went ok and I had root access , downloaded a few apps USING MOBILE DATA and then entered TWRP recovery and it got stuck in a bootloop, wouldn't leave TWRP. ( I assume that's when I should of installed a custom ROM.. ? )
Anyway I got anxious and thought I am better off going stock because apparently I have no idea what I'm doing .
Downloaded the stock firmware for my model and flashed it and voilah it works.
I was relieved. But then I noticed that my mobile data is not working. I can make calls and send messages and Wi-FI works perfect : but not mobile data.
( Don't know if this is relevant at all but similar thing happened with the power saving mode , I tapped the icon and it should have been "on" but it wasn't which is weird. By the way yesterday it started working normal again , better call scooby and the gang to solve that mystery eh ? )
So this is what I tried to fix the problem : - Rebooted. - Rebooted in safe mode. - Resetting APN. - Wiping cache. - Factory reset.
The issue still persisted. I even went to the network provider and they told me that everything should be "ok" as I suspected.
Now I am no expert but the only logical explanation would be a hardware issue... ? The tinfoil hat wearer in me is whispering that when you tripped your knox it took out something else with it though that wouldn't explain why it worked after rooting but not after flashing back to stock.
What is the point in having a smartphone if I can not access the internet on the go ? It sucks because I am just about to start studying so I will not be able to afford a new phone for quite a while...
So what are your thoughts guys ? I still have hope that there is someone out there who can help me and many others who have encountered this issue

Hi folks
I have a Nexus S (i9020a). It has stock 4.1.2 Jelly bean from Google (downloaded the stock image and flashed it). It worked fine for over a month.
Suddenly few days back this device got a problem. When I dial any number I can't hear any dialing sounds and even after the call has connected I can't hear the opposite person and the opposite person also can't hear me (The phone still shows as 'Dialing' though it's already connected). The same is true when I answer any call. Both parties can't hear anything.
This is solved by rebooting the phone for the first phone call only. After I reboot, the 1st phone call works fine, then this problem persists for any calls I make/receive until I reboot the phone again.
I tried flashing a different radio but this problem is still there. I tried my sim card on a different phone and it works fine, so the problem is not that too. My 3G data works just fine.
I need this phone for the next few days/weeks (hopefully not months) before my Nexus 4 gets delivered :laugh:
Thanks..
Edit: Modified the title; Probably gave the wrong meaning that the problem is solved.
<bump> Modified the title. Earlier title gave an impression that the problem is solved whereas I still have a problem.
Have you installed any apps which could somehow affect the dialler?
Unless someone else can give you a different advice, I can't think of any other option than do a full wipe and reflash.
I haven't installed any such apps.
Also, I already did a full wipe and flashed the stock image again. The problem is still there.
Don't know what else you could try, sorry mate - hope someone else can help you sort it out!
Thanks for trying. I think I will go to some hardware shop and see if they can figure out..
Try using a headset for making phone calls so that we can identify if it's really the hardware's problem.

I had similar problem when RAM running out. Usually a reboot fix the problem for a bit.
What I did:
1. With Titanium Backup Pro, froze unused RAM hogging system apps, like Google+, Google play magazine,etc
2. Froze or uninstall Facebook, Word with Friends, etc which are resident and hog RAMs .
3. Install marmite kernel, free up more usable RAMs.
Hope it helps you too.

Thanks for the suggestion!
I tried this too but doesn't work...
Try any custom ROM instead of stock ROM and a different kernel too. There could be chances that you've flashed the wrong ROM / radio too.
Sent from my Nexus S
Problem solved.
I went to a hardware store today. The guy said that it's a problem with the 3G service of my carrier (Vodafone India). The moment I enabled the '2G only' option in the Mobile networks settings area, this problem was gone. The technician said that this issue is affecting some people randomly. He said that since 3G service was launched just last year, the networks are not yet capable of handling all kinds of devices (he claims that the bug is so erratic that another Nexus S i9020a may work just fine with the very same bootloader/radio/rom which doesn't make any sense). When I said that 3G service was working fine before, he said that most probably my carrier changed some settings on their side which is causing this issue for me.
I have tried this for 6-8 hours now, making a lot of phone calls and it seems that the issue is gone. It saddens me that I am off 3G for now but at least my phone calls and basic EDGE internet works fine. I will have to work with Vodafone to solve this or simply wait for my new phone (Nexus 4) and hope it won't have the same problem..
Hi guys,
I need help. Once I encrypted my phone. Location service/GPS is not working on my phone.
Before encryption. There is the location icon always comes up when I access something like Google Maps. even tried installing GPS toolbox. Able to see the satellites and all.
But after encryption, the location icon does not come up. But somehow in High Accuracy mode, it does get somewhere of an approximation of my location.(from network and Wifi).(This does not go well when you are navigating around)
Have you guys encountered this. I have even tried flashing the new L09 Rom and it is still the same.
Also searched around the forums (Looks like the old Samsung phones had this issue where after encryption the GPS would not work). But the post is way back in 2011. And they din follow up on the posts on how it was fixed.
I have factory reset my phone a number of times, flash new rom(the one shared on this forum)
Also played with the settings nothing happens. I still cannot get GPS to work after encryption.
Also another thing I notice is that during the encryption a strange error came up and say that Settings have stopped working. I do not know whether there is a coincidence or not and whether it has anything to do with this GPS problems..
Any help is welcomed. as having a phone with no GPS is really driving me up the wall.

Really sorry for late response - but you can fix this problem using attached file - this is apk from China version of Mate7 make you be able to give (or revoke) access to system data storages (including GPS) to applications.
I had the same problem as you - and using this apk i've fixed it successfully.
it doesn't work for me - can anybody sent printsceen of settings of this app?
Thanks
@nchee + @mireczeque
Have you BOTH re-flashed the stock rom by using the official HUAWEI procedure (i.e. three buttons pressed togheter and ROM saved on DLOAD folder)? If so, do you have ALSO applied a WIPE DATA FACTORY RESET plus a WIPE CACHE PARTITION?
I had some problems with APPS crashing when I tried restoring my HAM with B130. I WIPED everithing and THEN re-flashed fresh B130 from DLOAD sdcard procedure, and everithing worked perfectly. I hope this help.

restore phone
Hello everyone,
This is my first post o be gentle
I've installed a few weeks ago this ROM, i saw some threads before choose this one and im quite happy with it, i want to wait for a few more months before go for the newer v12.
Im having an isse that bothers me every now and then since ive installed this ROM. The network from nowhere simply goes out, the networks symbol remains there at the minimum level (just one small bar) but what's really happening is that there is no network at all, SMS, phone calls etc doesnt work. As soon as i notice that i have to restart the phone or enable and then disable "Airplane mode" and that's it , network is up again.
Is there any chance to solve this without installing the newer v12 that maybe, just maybe, have this problem solved?
I've downloaded this version:
Imperium_LL_Rom_OJ2_v11.0
My phone is an international GT-I9505, coming from CM11.2. I've installed everything from scratch so i believe nothing was left behind.
Thanks everyone!
Cheers
hey there ive got this VERY weired problem that happened to my brothers phone since the update to marshmallow and its driving him crazy therefor he is getting really annoying about it cause he asks ME to fix it
the problem: just imagine you're surfing with mobile data and it works just damn well BUT suddenly the 4g indicator (sometimes H+) just freezes on up side and NO internet till i {reboot OR toggle airplane mode OR switch network type}
so ive tried every manual non-root thingy (factory reset-re-flashing rom thru odin-wiped data from recovery-swapping sim to see if the sim is faulty[it works on my s7 edge]-enabling data roam and etc.) but none of them works and i was really shocked that the complete reflash of rom thru odin didn't work either (it was the same rom that he got thru OTA [G920FXXS4DPG3])
so what are my options here ? i really dont wanna flash a custom rom on it cause its not mine BUT if there is a top rom that got the special workarounds for the mobile data IM IN. OR a odin modem file that just would make it work ... OR JUST ANYTHING ELSE that would just make it stop!!!
a little bit OT but what are the root options in s6 ? is there a KNOX-free root ? or a system-less root ? and will it break fingerprint feature ?
thanks in advance for you time !
Having same problem. Tried same methods.
Concidering going back to 5.x - anyone know if this will fix issue?
Homtom HT10
a new official firmware has been released:
HOMTOM-HT10-Android6.0-V01-20170226.zip
http://www.homtom.cc/
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0By2t6rTTiNQNcEJ1QkpKQnhzck0/view?usp=sharing
no change log unfortunately
could you please report if those major bugs listed bellow are finally fixed?
is it rootable? if yes, how?
- no OTA update
- losing user language preference (simcard default language is used instead)
- losing connectivity (cannot make/receive calls)
- iris / pattern unlock crash/reboot
- random reboot
- screen calibration issue (not responding sometimes and it cannot be fixed with calibration apps from Google store)
- blurry pictures (slow focus and shutter speed)
- bad audio quality (over saturated)
- clean of malwares and chinese apps
Hardware features that were announced but never won't be available (fake advertising / SCAM):
- 5Ghz Wi-Fi compatibily
- NFC
- OTG
*** UPDATE ***
Ok folks... I removed the simcard and also the battery few seconds and flashed latest firmware with sp_flash_tool (firmware mode not download mode) and lost everything (all apps / data) but there is a good news... smartphone doesn't lose language preference anymore!
unfortunately smartphone is still losing connectivity and network (cannot make/receive calls even if there is network signal !)
(I thought it was solved too because it has worked almost half a day but actually i've still got this issue!)
so HomTom HT10 is still a useless 'smart' brick...
And HomTom is doing the same than UMI: banning from their Facebook page users reporting bugs or false avertising (OTG/NFC/Wi-Fi 5Ghz/full bands support/...).
Got mine 2 weeks ago and have not experinced any of the problem above. I think you have got a bad phone only(fake copy?).
I had a update as soon as I started the phone and it is now HOMTOM-HT10-Android6.0-V01-20170225, hmm yours is 0226.
I am no super user of phones but this one is working very good only the sound when doing the iris thing is annoying.

Mine is the same it's just their typo error. When extracted it's 20170225
Anyway there is a new official firmware... Anyone tried it already?
@ homtom.cc
HOMTOM-HT10-Android6.0-V01-20170510.zip
I'm looking for an English (or global) custom ROM for this device running Android 6.x or 7.x
MoKee, GizROM, LineageOS 13/14/15. Any ROM 100% working.
I bought one of these a while back and using it on the T-Mobile network for over 8 months. I also have not had any trouble that you stated above such as loosing connectivity or the iris scan crashing. I do agree that it would be nice if you could turn off the iris scan noise though. Love this phone and glad I took a chance when ordering it.
I may have found this thread a little late, but here I am. I have the Homtom HT10 running the firmware Android-6.0-V01-20161202 and I was able to root the device using Kingo Root. It's been a while, but I think there were some additional steps to go through before this root worked. My question is if anyone here has had success in rooting one of the newer firmwares, since I'm not sure if this root would survive the firmware update and I wouldn't want to lose root access.
Also, does anyone know how to replace the Kingo Superuser app with Chainfire's version?
mine was working good, i rooted , and install magisk and after a while i loose connectivity when make calls..i flash full firmware..format and all the stuff and still cannot make callss

I've flashed HOMTOM-HT10-Android6.0-V01-20170622 and so far all works pretty good (it keeps the language)...
Only audio EQ quality is poor (distorsion) and volume / quality issue in phone calls.
Not sure yet if OS is able to switch properly from a deficient 4G network to 3G/2G (because i'm currently using forced 3G mode in settings) but it seems to work better than previously.
flashing the Rom
Hi guys. I'm having trouble loading the latest firmware thru sp flash tool.
I'm running Windows 10 and I've installed the extra drivers.
Would love some help.
Thanks
Did you have to push any button combinations to get SPflashtool to start?

I used a different version of flash tool and it started when I put the battery in. There's so many versions of flash tool I guess. But I got it working.
Thanks for the response!

My HT10 (got it a month ago) GPS not working
Hi guys
My HT10 GPS in to working. The phone is new, I just got it, and it literally only has viber and Here maps on.
The GPS tested today, not working.
Under a sky with no clouds in the middle of a field with no obstructing buildings and no signal whatsoever.
custom build version: alps-mp-m0.mp9-v1.33_aeon6797.6c.m_p11
Hello
I am french and I live in Ireland.
I have same problem with my Homtom HT10. My smartphone is still losing connectivity and network (cannot make/receive calls even if there is network signal !). I indicated the problem to Homtom who asked me to update Firmware but it did not improve the problem. Homtom suggests me sending back the smartphone for repair but postal charges are very expensive for China.
No solution... I have to restart my Homtom all days if I want to send a SMS or make a phone call.
Perhaps a problem with the SIM Card ?
I got mine since 4 months ago.
Probably the worst android I ever got.
It is fast ok and charge is really quick but its always losing connection. Its more like a photo camera and mp3 than phone.
The other stupid thing is that can connect Wifi 5Ghz and the 2.4 is really slow.
I have already stock firmarware 20170622
Serious Homtom ??
