Hi
I have a rooted Galaxy note 5 phone SM-N920C model.
Some water got into my phone and i had to take it to a phone shop to get it fixed its was working fine after the water damage but the power button had to be pressed hard to work.
the repair guy told me he had to replace several some parts i think some cpus.
After i got my phone my sim would work and then randomly stop working and i couldn't make calls nor will mobile data work. Then randomly it would work again and stop randomly.
i tried my sim in another phone and it was working fine, even tried my friend's in my phone and it had the same problem.
An important thing that i found is that the model in my device info has changed from SM-N920C to SM-G935T Aka Samasung S7 Edge.
after a couple of days i figured out that outside the house the mobile network works fine but inside it it doesn't might have to do with the signal i'm getting from the device. So im thinking of this an error from the guy who fixed it so i'm going to return it to him.
Things i did trying to fix it : flash all kind of different roms, unrooted, rerooted and also tried to install S7 Edge roms also tried the S7 Edge stock rom.
Thank you for reading ,

Hi guys,
After dropping my phone and cracking the screen i got my phone back from repair (after 6 weeks) now i find that the gps never finds a satelite and my phone reception is very poor - mostly no service or 1 bar when near tower. I have never had a problem with reception before always been good tried reflashed different roms and and radio roms but no go. So i have come to the conclusion that it is a hardware failure. But i was just wondering does the gps and phone work off the same antennae maybe it just became dislodged, or has anyone else got any ideas i could try before i send it away for another six weeks. cheers.
AFAIK, GSM and GPS are using different antennas. However, I can't guarantee that - should look in service manual.
On the other hand, flashing some radio ROMs might cause damage to both GSM and GPS receivers, causing irreversible performance drop.
Before sending device to repair, be sure to flash it with official ROM.
And I suggest that you test it with latest official ROM you can find.
thanks for your reply I have flashed back to original rom and am now in the process of having my phone looked at. Only had these problems after sending my phone in for repair for a cracked lcd screen so im kind of hoping they just forgot to put something back in. but im really not that lucky. Thanks again.
Good luck, please update with results ASAP.
Hi, Just updating sent my phone to another repairer they told me that when i got my screen repaired the last repairer had left off a part that joins the two antennas (gps and phone) to the main board. So it was pretty much similar to what i thought it might have been. This repairer was Australia's official HTC repairer the first two weeks they lost my phone then they found it then it took three weeks to fix a cracked lcd then they sent it back to the wrong address another week to locate my phone then get it back to find the signal problems so a word of warning to Aussies - If its not a warranty repair dont send it to HTC repairer unless all other options are exhausted. Do some net research on these guys there are plenty of disgruntled people and there's even a news article on an industrial action protest outside thier shop for treating there employees poorly. Oh well lesson learnt and my rant is now over. Thanks again.
So I bought a Verizon Galaxy off of Craigslist, as I wasn't due for an upgrade. I was able to activate the phone just fine and I checked the water damage sticker behind the battery, all was good. About a week later I started getting the "Mobile Network Not Available" error. I've had Verizon replace the SIM card 3 times and all three times the phone would work intermittently. I contacted Samsung and sent it in for repair, they marked it as "Liquid Damage on PBA Components" and marked it as "Beyond Economical Repair. Does anyone know if the PBA is the mobo? And possibly where to find one. I've found the SIM tray available for purchase but I don't know if this is the right fix. I talked to a cell phone repair tech and he said since it's only the phone functionality intermittently that I could clean the corrosion off of the board with Acetone. Anyone have any recommendations for me? Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.
P.S. The phone is being delivered to me today.

EDIT: Nevermind, I just order a new motherboard.
Hi all,
open this thread to share with you my experience.
I hope that someone could help me.
My OPO, 1 year and few months old, always was working fine.
One morning switch on my phone and I see on display the message "battery too low. charge a wile before use" etc etc.
I start to see on web forum, try some solutions but nothing. Then I open an RMA to oneplus support...and here start the nightmare for me.
Two days and DHL arrive to pick-up my phone. After 2 days I se on ARVATO web site (ARVATO is the warranty center for OnePlus) that my phone is out of warranty becouse there was wather inside! What??!! They send me pictures of the motherboard and battery connector and it is obvious that the problem was battery that released acid.
So, after 2 weeks fighting with the oneplus support, I decide to give up with the warranty and ask to send me back my phone without fix the problem.
I think, i buy a new battery and change it with my hands.
After almost 2 months my phone come back in my hands. I open the phone, change the battery and it start without problem.
YeaH! I win! ...no, I lose becouse after the RMA and OnePlus support, my phone now works fine with wifi, with all connections type but when I insert sim card I have not operator signal.
I tryed to change sim, to reset the phone, to flash the rom, to check if connector are all inserted fine in the motherboard...nothing.
My ohone now doesn't get signal. The sim card is detected fine becouse the phone ask me pin code at the boot and if I scan the operator modile network I find the Italian mobile operator.
But, when I try to register my sin on the network, I get error and phone is killed out.
Move the sim on another phone all working fine.
I think that OnePlus warranty center had blocked my phone or something like this.
Do you have an idea? what could be the problem and how can solve it?
Thx to you all

Hii,did you tried clean flashing through fastboot?
Hey everybody!
I just got my phone back from being repaired from water damage. HTC U11 plus.
Everything is working fine but the mobile network doesnt connect. I´ve tried everything, turn phone on/off, airplane mode on/off complete reset of phone. The sim card works fine in other phones. Wifi and bluetooth are working.
I´ve contacted the place I had it repaired but no answer yet.
I never rooted the phone cause I never had a reason to, maybe doing so would help solve the issue?
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
i got the same problem with my U11 plus. drop it from bed height. no damage seen physically then after i updated last february no mobile radio network. talk to htc reps ans said to send for repair. bottomline it end up motherboard issue,they replace my motherboard. but heads up it will take one and half for mine to get back.

Thanks for the reply, my phone couldn't be repaired under guarantee so the eBay seller I got it from had it sent for repair somewhere else. Apparently there was a lot of damage and they seemed to have fixed everything but maybe didn't check the SIM card?
I purchased a used US version Rog Phone 5 recently through an online seller. When receiving the phone, I gave it a good once over and powered it on and tested wifi and such and everything seemed to be in good working order. I then rooted the phone and set most of stuff up. After inserting my sim card, I noticed the cell reception was not that great. I suffered through for a couple of days but was missing calls and texts like crazy. I was constantly dropping reception entirely in areas where I have very good signal with other phones. The phone is essentially useless now. I tried several factory resets, flashed back to the non-rooted boot image, and then flashed to an older firmware with no improvements to signal. I can't imagine the reception issue is in any way related to the rooting process, but I'm throwing this out there just in case anyone has seen anything similar in the past.
A few things to note:
I am on AT&T
The APN is definitively configured correctly
I could have returned the phone to the online seller for a refund prior to unlocking the bootloader, but did not insert a sim before rooting, so I have no idea whether the issue was present from purchase or not. Lesson learned, I suppose... do a more thoroughly inspection before doing anything that will void a warranty or refund agreement.
I have tried the same sim in two other phones with no issues.
Everything else about the phone seems to work perfectly, only poor reception.
I had the phone up to approximately 30 miles from my house with no change, so it isn't limited to a specific tower.
Does anyone have any ideas? If I don't come up with anything I will be posting it on ebay as "not working - for parts only" so I will try about anything at this point.
Sim recognition issue
Owned the phone for about a month now. Phone was working perfectly fine for the majority of this time. I use 2 different sims and they were both working smoothly until recently. A few days ago, I woke up and the phone wouldn't recognize the Sim...

sim card problem
just all of sudden it became invalid sim try multiple time reset or clear data cache sim toolkit original sim to other phone is working other sim to original phone is working other sim to other phone is working anyone face the same problem...

Sounds like they pawned the issue off on you, but it should still be under warranty to have it repaired. When you contact Asus, don't mention unlocking the bootloader. Stick to the hardware concerns.
I have looked over both of those threads, but it seems to be a different issue. My sim is recognized fine, its just the signal strength that appears to be extremely low. Even when the phone has no service at all, it still recognizes the AT&T sim is present.

Yes, it is not the same issue, but it appears to be a similar issue. The important detail being that both required a motherboard replacement.
