Hi all,
I have already spent a fair amount of time on various forums, trying to understand what happens on my Mate 8.
It's the second time this happens.
Usually, when i go to my prefered gsm network menu, I have 4 simple options : 2G, 3g only, 3G 2G Auto and 4H 3G 2G auto.
This morning, when I open this menu, I have 10 or 15 options (like cdma, lte, ev-do etc...) and of course, when this happens, the hotspot become non operative.
The first time it happend (last summer), i rebooted the phone from scratch, it went back ok.
Here are my questions : what happens? Why suddenly, the phone changes completly it's settings whtitout me doing anything in particular?
How can I make my regular settings come back, whithout having to reboot entirely the phone?
thank you .
Romain
What firmware do you have?
You can reboot to stock recovery and wipe cache could solve ur problem.

Hi
i have installed this awesome rom "Updated 3June12 [ROM][2.3.7][CWM] HebrewValhalla V3.4"
The word smooth has a sense
I have a signal issue.
when i go to an elevator without signal, the signal don't come back.
I have some bars in the signal bar but when i tried to call, i am getting Not Registered on network
it's not a sim issue, i have already replaced it.
Any ideas?
Did you try a reset and full wipe?
Your phone is picking up another network. Used to happen to me all the time. ATT has a stronger signal where I live and my phone would lock onto it for hours at a time. Didn't matter if I manually selected the carrier or not. After hours on the phone with Tmob they finally let me out of my contract.

If you were on a contract plan shouldnt it pick up the att towers as "roaming" since your t-mo towers werent as powerful?
If that is whats happening it explains why I cant get service in walmart. Im on the prepaid plan so no roaming for me.
No roaming agreement between ATT and Tmob at the time. It was right when the merger was being proposed. I confirmed it with Samsung as well. The device will look for the stronger network and try to connect to that. The crappy thing was you couldn't override it. I'd force Tmob as network and as soon as it dropped signal it would revert back to ATT.
Did you try flashing another modem? This ROM comes with sidekick KD1 modem. Some people prefer our native KI3, KJ1, KG4 or KJ6 modem.
I would also try to disable roaming option abd force a network.

Hi
Thanks for your answers
First, i am is israel. i am subscribed to the orange carrier
i have tried the wipe, the fix permission, the clean dalvik cache
i will follow your advice. i am flashing the Kj6
wait and see
If nothing else, one thing that works for me when I completely lose my network is to do a hard reset: Pull the battery, hold power button for 15 seconds, leave battery out for 10 minutes, put battery back in, boot and let sit another 10 minutes. Fixed.
Haven't had the issue on a bml ROM though(such as Valhalla), not sure if it's coincidence, but if all else falls, hopefully it will help you solve the issue. I tried flashing new modems, permissions, wipes, formats, flashing new ROM's, and that was the only thing to actually restore the network (restoring my efs may have worked, but didn't try it then, and that would only be applicable to an mtd ROM, unlike Valhalla)

Also try to switch it to GSM only, it might work.
when am selecting only GSM, the 3G don't work. i only get the G
BTW, each time that i restart the phone, i have to enable the GSM/WDCA.
after each restart, the phone is automatically configured to only GSM
Hi Guys
i am driving crazy
I have followed all those steps
1. Put ROM zip in SDcard.
2. Go to recovery mode.
3. Perform Wipe cache partition (3 times).
4. Perform Wipe data\Factory reset (3 times).
5. Perform Advanced -> Wipe dalvik cache (3 times).
6. Perform Voodoo -> Disable Lagfix.
7. Perform Voodoo -> System Lagfix Off.
8. Perform Install zip file - choose Hebrew valhall 3.5ROM zip.
9. Allow ROM to start, mount mount points, flash kernel and finish.
10. Go to 'Voodoo Settings'.
11.Perform Voodoo -> Enable Lagfix.
12.Perform Voodoo -> System Lagfix On.
13.Perform Back - Reboot System.
14. Let device stay untouched for 10 minutes.
Now i have another issue, each time that i restart the phone, i have to enable the GSM/WDCA.
when only GSM is selected, the 3G don't work. i only get the G
after each restart, the phone is automatically configured to only GSM.
Moreover, i don't have the standard gps issue of long lock.
( i have made the AngryGps Fix)
when i am using Waze, i am losing the Gps Signal
SOS
G.
G.
RESOLVED
i have enabled bluetooth wifi, Gps and restart the phone
and the issue is fixed
Is "netword" a new game like Scrabble or something?
Hi Heniki
I was on Israeli Orange and everything worked just fine. Now I'm on Rami Levi just paying 75% less..
Anyway, I suggest :
1. Try the Gremlin remover.
2. Re-flash ROM afterwards (try other ROMs if you must).
3. Check if your SIM is OK (try it with other SIMs).
4. Maybe SDCard is causing problems ?
The only problem I ever had with connectivity is that sometimes WiFi/3G/BT didn't want to start and the workaround I found at that time was :
1. Set 3G and BT on and restart the device.
2. Once device is up, turn BT off and 5 seconds later, turn 3G off.
3. If you want Wifi - just turn it on.
If you want BT - turn Wifi on, wait 5 sec, turn BT on. wait till it's up and turn Wifi off if you don't want it. Once you're done with BT, turn Wifi on - turn BT off and then Wifi Off.
4. If 3G/Wifi don't turn on, leave it on, set flight mode, wait 10 sec, then set flight mode off. It will work.
I don't have these issues lately (I'm on AntonX's 1.1.2 kernel).
If you must have a Hebrew ROM, know that I will publish a Hebrew CM7 and Hebrew MIUI next month.

Okay, so I'm sure plenty of you have seen the news about how the dormant LTE radio on the Nexus 4 can be turned on to work with certain frequencies by using the *#*#4636#*#* command.
This command is new to me and so I figured I'd try it out on my Nexus S to see what it could do. Got to it easy enough and switched around the network types for a minute or two. Then when I satisfied my curiosity I figured I'd just change the network type back to the default "WCDMA preferred" and go on about my day.
Wrong.
My phone is now stuck on EDGE. I have turned it on and off, toggled airplane mode, toggled data, pulled the battery out for more than 10 minutes (I know it's very excessive) turned the phone off for a couple of hours, made sure that in the phone's Settings that "Use only 2G networks" is NOT checked, all to no avail.
On the 17th, when I did a speedtest on my phone, my download speed was 6183 kbps. Today, its around 167-180 kbps. Consistently.
I have made no other changes to the phone. And just to make sure that it isn't a Rogers network thing and that it is indeed my phone, I put my SIM card in my old HTC Dream. It got 3G just fine. And its download speed was a few mbps as well (about 2mbps).
I'm currently using CM 10.0.0 and am using the same radio I have been using for months with no problems (I9020XXKB3).
I honestly thought my little experiment would be as harmless as using Android's "Use only 2G networks."
Oh, as it's been quite a few hours, I've done my fair of research and found that people who had this problem somehow lost their IMEI. Mine is perfectly (especially since I haven't made any changes to my phone). It's value in about phone matches the IMEI written under my battery.
I hope I've been thorough enough. I have tried everything I could think of and done my Googling.
Anyone have any ideas on what else I can try?
179 kbps download speed is really painful ...
Put the code back in, and change the type back from wcdma back to whatever it was, this should fix your problem because WCDMA uses different frequencies for anything above edge. Frequencies that rogers does not transmit in. So changing it back will allow you to use 3g/H again

Default setting was "WCDMA preferred" and that's what I've left it at.
Why not factory reset?
you can try a reset, flashing a new rom, or if you're feeling particularly crazy, try using the different settings (other than wcdma), and see if it works.
I've tried all the other settings. And I really don't want to resort to a factory reset even with a nandroid backup.
Surely, there must be a straightforward fix to this.
Edit: Okay, problem solved.
Instead of changing the "Set preferred network type:", I pressed menu, chose "select radio band" and randomly selected "AUS2 Band."
It worked! Don't ask me how or why as I live in Canada, but I don't care! I never even touched this menu before. So strange ...
Edit 2: Umm... I can't find the mark "solved" option.
Hi there, just wondering if anyone can help with a small problem I'm having after flashing a new ROM - {ROM}[T][STOCK][JB 4.3][UB&LB][9.2.A.0.295] Official Firmware - Rooted&Deodexed 18/02, by DaRk-L0rD. My problem is that when I first turn on my XperiaT, I usually have no service on my phone - i.e- I cant make calls at all. The phone works fine for everything else, but I have to manually go into Settings-More-Mobile Networks and after a few seconds the phone picks up the signal and the bars appear. If I don't do this it will just sit there for hours not getting anything! I've tried entering the Phone Information menu through *#*#4636#*#*, and setting the preferred method to WCDMA, and I've made sure that in the Mobile Networks settings that is also the preferred method, however it seems that if I reboot the phone, or the battery dies and I switch it on, it randomly forgets these settings and I get nothing. If I try to enter the Settings-About Phone-Status screen when I've no signal then I get force closed, but when I have signal it opens no problem and my IMEI is there and is correct. Also, sometimes the little red missing SIM icon appears alongside the red x on the bars, although this doesn't happen all the time.
It's a small issue because it only happens maybe 80% of the time, and it's not a big deal going into settings and reactivating things, but it's a bit of a hassle at this stage.
Previously I used "[ROM]XperimenT 3.5[T/TL][9.1.A.1.145][Locked & Unlocked][23/09/13]" by TiMiN8R without this issue so I know that the phone/sim are actually ok as it only started immediately after flashing the new ROM.
You can see from my three screenshots that I have no service for two minutes, enter the mobile networks menu, and finally after being in that menu for a few seconds up pop the bars!
If anyone can help me out I would really appreciate it.
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.
I was hoping to find some answers here to a strange problem that's happening with my Poco X3 NFC.
This hasn't been much of an issue before due to WLAN coverage, but I'm more in need of mobile data right now, and wanted to use LTE instead of 2G or 3G which is quite slow in comparison. My provider does support LTE, I've checked everything on that end.
Whenever I turn on LTE, my phone immediately is stuck, gets a black screen and reboots to the recovery menu. After that I have to set everything to airplane mode quick, disable it, and then disable mobile data very fast to stop the loop. There's absolutely no such problem with 2G or 3G set, but as soon as I use anything LTE related it's stuck.
I've tried a factory reset, I've tried no SD card, I've tried both sim card slots. I've also tried every possible LTE combination set via *#*#4636#*#* and it happens with each and every one.
I've gotten messages and pages to load with LTE in my status bar, so theoretically the connection does work. It's just the bootloop afterwards that makes everything completely unusuable.
My phone is out of the box, nothing custom done or rooted. I thought that maybe a few MIUI updates would fix it because there were loop issues, but nothing helped so far. I'm running MIUI 12.0.8.0 stable right now, Android 10. I do have warranty, but first I'd like to know whether the issue might be fixable on my end.
Thanks in advance!
Same problem here
