I have the international Note 5, with a t-mobile sim card. When I am on the 4g network and I try to call somebody it takes 20-30 seconds to call. When people call me, they can't reach me. Though the 4g internet works like a charm.
The only way for calling to work is to switch it to 2g, but I am loosing the 4g internet speeds.
I contacted t-mobile, they tried to reset the network, but the problem persists.
Any suggestions?
Would flashing with a custom rom help?
Should I flash the original t-mobile rom?

I found the problem
The problem has to do with the volte... This option is not available with the n905c model that I have, and there seems not to be a fix with t-mobile. Fricken Samsung didn't put available this feature in the upgrades of some international phones eg the Dubai model that I have...
I have the same problem
I just bought two t-mobile branded Note 5's and I'm using them on Family Mobile (previously owned by tmobile). If I limit my networks to 2G & 3G all of my calling works fine but the moment I enable LTE all of my incoming calls go strait to vm. The problem persists on both phones so I don't think it's a hardware issue. I've tried rooted and unrooted, magisk and supersu. VoLTE is turned off on both phones (since it's not supported by family mobile) but I've tried every combination of settings I can think of and nothing helps. I hate having to choose between having LTE or getting incoming calls and would love to fix the problem. Or is there a good way to totally disable or remove the VoLTE services? If I remember correctly there were similar problems with some of the S4s that required an app like advanced signal status (??? been a while) to overcome. Can anyone help? Please and thank you.
I have the same problem
Hi all,
I have the same problem, even I have install & root with custom rom the problem still exist.
someone told me that the problem is in 3G signal.
so I decide to choose LTE & GSM only, & it works for me. however it could not give 3G signal on my phone.
Did you find the other olution of this?
Evening all, I've been having this same issue, hoping there would be a fix. Not ready to purchase a new phone when there is nothing wrong with the one I have still good for at least another yr(maybe). but not rite now.
i fix the problem
Hi all,
maybe this method could solve the issue. please try it & follow below step.
1. reset to factory setting then after finish please clear Dalvik Cache.
2. Flash with the latest Odin & latest firmware, but you don't need to change everything in options tab. then click start.
3. After finish, then insert APN as mention in this link (please read how to set APN on Galaxy note5)
4. After select your desired APN, please change APN name become ****4g.com (or you can find this apn setting in your carrier SIM (check in google)
5. Finish, please check your phone.
hope above method could solve the issue, however it works for me now.
please try at your own risk & don't forget to always save your data before.
This is the FIX for the Note 5 SM-N920 C, i know this works because i have been dealing with this for MONTHS, so i tried EVERY Custom Roms Untill i figuard WHY NOT flash a Stockish T-Mobile Rom with a Custom Kernel for the 920C. And Just like that i got My Awesome Note 5 BIZACKKK, Here we go, Follow these steps, Upgrade to the FIRST 7.0 that came out for the SM-N920C, of course you should already know to turn on debuging + OEM, Flash TWRP through Odin, then go to the TMOBILE Development Section and THANK "@Marinella" First and foremost for cooking up this Rom, Download his Stockish Unrooted Rom ++7.0 ROM Stock Unrooted N920TUVU4EQE1++you will also need (MAKE SURE TO THANK--->>> ""@AndroidSword"" ) this 7.0 Kernel, go to the seack bar and type it in, FUEL-KERNEL-V2 .... now before anything, Of course do FULL WIPES Of Everything like you usually wipe when downloading other Roms, flash the stockish Rom first, then the Kernel, Just so you know, the Kernel has 2 choices of root. ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT>>!!!!, Boot your Device and wait, this took me months to figure out after flashing so many diffrent Rom, Now I Have My Favorite International Note 5 Back, trust me , this WILL WORK ON THE 920C. ENJOY...
hi,
above method is for SM-N920C, do you have solution for SM-N920T ?
No Idea, sorry, try different Custom Rom, i have not heard of this issue with the 920T. Good Luck.

Hello,
Please help if you can! I updated my Nexus S to 2.3.4 the other day, and everything was working fine. Today, the phone at some point lost the ability to connect to my network (Bell Mobility). I was out and about and was turning data off, and might have hit the 2g/3g toggle by accident, and seem to remember reading about that causing problems - though I have no idea if I did for sure (the sun was bright) and am honestly not sure what's wrong EDIT: when I go into wireless & networks\mobile networks\network operators, the phone will only recognize Roger's Wireless (and it was bought at a Telus store!) The UI still works fine, and I can still connect via wifi - just no way to get it to recognize Bell's network
As stated above, everything was working fine this morning - voice, data and sms all good. Here is all the info from my phone:
Android version 2.3.4
Baseband version NO DGSXXKD1
Kernel Version 2.6.35.7-ge383d80 [email protected] #1
Build number GRJ22
The bootloader is unlocked, and I had been running CM7 before flashing the manual 2.3.4. I'm not sure what to do. Tried re-flashing the manual 2.3.4 update.zip, and nothing. I know a very little bit about rooting/flashing (just enough to follow guides), and am wondering whether I need to re-flash a different kernel/radio/rom or something. I did search, and couldn't find anything that outlined my problem exactly (I do apologize if something is out there and I just didn't look hard enough).
Again, the phone was bought new at a Telus store, and found the Bell Mobility network out of the box no problem. Am hoping someone can help!
Thanks so much for reading, and if you are able to help.
Check your APN's to make sure the data info is in there I had to manually enter mine (bought phone from Telus to use on Bell/Sasktel's network) for Sasktel and bob was my uncle
Every upgrade i need to put them back in. No automatic for me, so i would start there
Menu - Settings - Wireless & Network - Mobile Networks - Access Point Names.
If nothing is in there, you need your APN settings. Talk to bell support for the info, and they should be able to help you over the phone (they support android even if they dont sell a Nexus S)
Cheers!
Thanks so much for your response, though I don't think that the APN's are the issue at all; they're still in there and fine. I think that it's the actual radio (or baseband), as the phone will not recognize the bell network, only the Rogers network (and it was bought new at a Telus store!)
I think that I need to re-flash the radio, and maybe the kernel. I searched to try and find the radio image for my phone, but haven't found anything clear enough for me to be comfortable to try - I've read time and again that flashing radios is one of the riskier things to do. I don't think that my phone is bricked (can still boot it up, and all of the ui works and can connect via wifi). Don't want to risk doing more damage.
Thanks again for your response though!
i think i'm having the same problem. i've manually upgraded to 2.3.3 then to 2.3.4. and then i put a sim card in - not used it as a phone before this.
i can get 3-4 white bars lit up but can't connect to any network. the bars turn green when wifi is active, but still can't connect ("can't connect at this time. please try again later" toast appears). not sure if the phone is borked, or if the upgrade wasn't that successful.
I actually have this same issue but using it on at&t in the USA...Really hope it isn't broken cause I have no way to fix it since i'm not in canada
Maybe check if the 2g box is checked in mobile networks. Check your apn settings and if that doesn't help try and flash another radio.

i'm unrooted, and don't intend to root. apn is fine as suggested above, and regardless of 2g checked or unchecked, still no connect
Rogers is the only 2G gsm provider, your phone may be stuck on 2G. If you have the choice, I would go back to 2.3.3 full stock and see if everything then works.

No. you are best to use cwm and restore a stock image for your phone
Sent from my Nexus S
Your best option is to flash back to 2.3.3. Download rom manager from the market and flash clockwork recovery. Once in recovery flash the 2.3.3 .zip file. I saw it somewhere here but i forgot where I saw it. Hope that helps.

Try this http://devsforandroid.com/index.php?board=18.0
I'm NOT SURE if it'll work, but it's worth the try. Make sure to to wipe everything before you flash. I'm not responsible for any damage this may cause. But I hope this helps you out.
If anyone wants to chime in and correct me please do so.

Or if you're not comfortable flashing the stock 2.3.3 rom maybe just try and flash back the xxkb2 radio which I believe was the stock baseband for Rogers, telus, Fido and bell. I have the .zip file for you to try and flash through CWM if you need it. Otherwise you can find it somewhere here aswell.

i'm not looking to root nor use any 'hacks'. i don't trust them.
under the battery, the phone is just a i9020. no letter afterwards.
Flashing a ROM doesn't require root, it requires unlocking the bootloader, which Google officially allows you to do that. You can unlock the bootloader, flash 2.3.3 ROM, then lock it as if it had never been unlocked. Just keep in mind that unlocking resets to factory default and wipes your SD card clean, backup before you do it.
Ahhh yes, I had same thing except with Telus I fixed it once, but the second time I could not get it to work, do this, flash this radio
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044261
it is the stock radio your phone came with, then call up bell and get them to "repush" your sim card... hopefully you will see your network again.

if i unlock to then flash, don't i need a radio package? how do i know which one to use?
also, would i be able to do a full compile of android and flash that?

It depends on which ROM you flash. I flashed the official 2.3.3 ROM, it contains the radio image, it'll flash it as you apply the update.
Do you remember which baseband version it came with out of box? That should give us hint as to which radio applies to your phone. I think there are really only two types of radios used except NS 4G, 850/1900/2100 (i9020A radio) and 900/1700/2100 (i9020T radio). You can ask your service provider or check out their website which band you are running on.
Back to flashing ROM, I just realised you don't even need to unlock the bootloader if you are flashing Google signed files. You should most likely be able to flash a 2.3.3 full ROM, then flash the 2.3.4 update file. But if you find the 2.3.4 full ROM, that's even more convenient. I saw a full ROM on the forum, but I that was for i9023 or i9020. Not too sure, maybe others know.
For the Canadian carriers, as stated before, Rogers is the only 2g (edge) carrier all others (Bell, Telus, Sasktel) are 3g (HSPA). go Settings>Wireless & network settings>mobile networks and ensure "Use only 2g networks" is not selected.
If this does not work flash the KB2 modem, the other modems may lose 850mHz spectrum which could be causing your grief.
Solution!!! (At least this worked for me!) - Didn't have to flash anything
Hey all,
I apologize for not posting this sooner, but found a solution that worked for me, hope it might work for others experiencing the same problem.
**PLEASE keep in mind that though this worked for me, I don't know if it will work for you (maybe it might make things worse for some people). Especially keeping in mind that I DON'T KNOW FOR CERTAIN what originally caused the issue for me, nor what specific factors (rom build, phone model, radio image, etc) might have contributed. As well, I am on the Bell Network. USE ANY OF WHAT'S STATED BELOW AT YOUR OWN RISK. Disclaimer stated, read on...**
In the dialer, I punched in *#*#4636#*#* and then from the menu that popped up, selected Phone Information.
From there, in the Set preferred network type: drop down menu (scroll down a little, you'll see it) I selected GSM/CDMA auto (PRL). **Again, remember that I'm on the Bell Network in Canada. Should you be trying this, these settings might not be for you. Again, AT YOUR OWN RISK**
Then, still from the Phone Information screen, I pressed menu button (the hard menu button on the phone), and then chose the Select Radio Band option. From there, I believe I selected Auto, though I may have selected USA (It's been a couple of days, and I can't remember, I apologize).
After that, went back to the Phone Information menu, and pressed Run Ping Test. It seemed to show all of the necessary (and appropriate for my network) settings as ok, and... everything worked!!! Full network connection as before!
Hope this might help someone else! Keep in mind that I'm not sure what caused the original problem; I do believe I remember pressing the 2g/3g toggle, and also remember reading somewhere that this can cause problems. Specifically, that it stopped peoples phones from going back from 2g to 3g - in my case (Bell Mobility) there is no 2g network to drop down to, so if it got stuck on EDGE mode, it probable looked for the only local carrier with a GM EDGE network, (Rogers) and got stuck there. Not sure, but maybe this is what happened. Any wise folks out there that might be able to confirm/offer insight?
Anyhow, thanks so much for all the responses and offers of help!
there were a lot of posts (including one of mine) where people complained that when data network mode was activated and they tried to answer / make a call, they couldn't. and if they did try to, it wouldn't answer and the network bars would become grey (that is, no bars) and it would take a couple of minutes for network to come back (or until you restart, whichever comes first).
anyway, i had some issues with my phone and i gave to the service center. i told them of it and they flashed the stock ROM + kernel. i had some other issues as well, so they said they'll keep the phone for two days.
so i'm getting my phone back tomorrow. now i want to know if flashing the stock firmware did in fact solve anyone's issues. if it did, i'll continue with the stock rom / kernel (please tell me which was causing you the problems). if not, i'll flash a custom ROM / kernel again. please let me know.
also, does anyone know why this happens? is some app causing these problems? because after flashing a new custom ROM (without any user apps installed) i can call / receive properly without deactivating the data network mode.
but, no user apps (and no google account sync either) = no internet traffic.
i'd request the expert devs (ROM makers, kernel developers, testers etc) to please leave their opinion as i'm not the only one who faces this issue. a few of us do and this is one of the few unsolved issues on this forum.
thank you.

ur last custom rom??? wer u using 3g turbocharger??
frankly i don't know what 3g turbocharger is :/
i was using kyrillos' ROM 8.0 (updated to 8.1) and i did run the supercharger script, but i don't think that's what you're talking about. i wasn't using the 3g network.
i've been facing this issue for a LONG time now. i've changed a few ROMs but same effect in all of them. maybe it's something to do with the european firmware (i live in mumbai, india) or something, i'm not sure. are you on vodafone? where in india do you stay?
Well even i am facing this strange network problem but only indoors!!
Outdoors the range is full!!
Since we all flash custom roms that are based on european base, i thought that the problem is related to the modem.bin AKA baseband!!
So i was thinking of just flashing the modem.bin again from any asian firmware.
But before doing that i flashed the old ddjg6 (eclair) rom just to see if baseband flashing is worth it.
Well the network problem was still there!! so the conclusion was that baseband/modem.bin flashing wont affect anything!!
stay happy!!
I cant remember if kyr8 had 3g turbocharger tweaks on build.prop.. But yes with 3g turbocharger on , I hav sum issues with data connection...
-tapatalked by RnB
Btw did u get phone.apk force close while happenin this??
-tapatalked by RnB
phone.apk force closed often. but never because of the weird data connection. i think it just generally force closed.
and i have been facing this problem since kyrillos' 6.0 or 7.0. one of the two. can't remember. also, please look for my "a request for a custom lock screen?" thread in galaxy 3 general and let me know if you can help. thanks!
also, people who are facing such issues please leave your name and "symptoms" here.
yes i also face the same problem of network,no solutions found yet.but i am not sure whether this prob happens to all the network or just VODAFONE,as i am using VODAFONE only.
okay please visit this thread :

also, here's a bit of my network story if it helps anyone understand this issue :
i bought the phone when it was running Eclair. it worked fine for a few days then i started to face the issue. when i tried sliding the green answering thing to the right, it just wouldn't answer. it would go back in it's place. when people called me, it said it was unavailable. my network used to restart, and calls would randomly get cut and i couldn't call back immediately. i had to wait for 10-15 seconds before i could make / receive any call again. within this time, the calls would dial, but not connect.
so i upgraded to froyo (JP2) from the samsung gallery. my phone worked PERFECTLY for two months or so. no call drops, no nothing. then all of the above started happening again.
i tried flashing different ROMs, kernels etc but nothing helps.
and neo, i face this problem everywhere. indoors and outdoors.
okay so i'm getting my phone back tomorrow. does anyone have any tips for me? something that i should or should not do? like flash a european ROM or just the kernel or not to install a specific app or something?
i do have the same situation. it worked very good by me, till marcellusbe released his cm7 alpha4 i think. i installed it, and since then i have got that network problem, during calls f. example i lose the communication. i dont hear amything, it freezes, and turns back to menu after a few seconds. then i notice that its in the flight mode automatically. and this just happens me when i have got the data connections on. if i deactivate it i dont face any problems like that. i also noticed since i once installed cm7 alpha4 , i have got a strange battery drain. i charg the phone till its fully cjarged, after 3 hours i do not have any battery any more.. help me in that ... PLEASE
i really become frustated the whole time when this happens to me, pls find a solution!! ....

Well if flashing customs roms and kernels is not helping, you need to try only flashing the stock modem.bin!! I really dont know how to do that safely but people do it!! If you can update the OP like "Please help in flashing just modem.bin" then maybe someone makes and give you an update.zip or a tar containing just modem.bin.
If that too fails to solve your problem, then you must demand a replacement of the handset from samsung! Thats all i can say man!!
Well, the same is happening with me. Even i have vodafone and i live in pune, india. I didnt use eclair for alot of of time so I don't know whether it is a froyo-eclair prob.
The problem that happens with me is that, when i go to my classes (which are in a damn closed area) i dont get any signal. Even though the network bars are zero i still get messeages and phone calls. but when i call someone or message it does not reach. It only happens in some places like my classes and school, but not at my house.
I found a way (not quite conventional but works). I have found that when i flash a rom; irrespective of whether stock or custom; the signal catching is quite stong. But after a month or two it is becomes laggy again. So i flash another rom and again it's good. I dont know whether it is a correct method but works for me.

okay so i've been using the stock firmware for two-three days now. and i've been facing absolutely no network problem as such.
when i press *#1234# here are my results :
PDA : i5801DDJP2
phone : i5801DDJP2
CSC : i5801DDJP2
build info : 2011, 04
now can someone interpret this for me? i mean tell me what exactly this means. which of those is my ROM build, my kernel build, or baseband or whatever.
tell me if there are any custom ROMs / kernels built on these builds (or updated ones, but still indian updates) so that i can test if those work for me?
thanks.

There is no custom rom build on this build as this build is lot buggy than the other european firmwares.
And that phone is the baseband responsible for the network and all!!

Now there has to be a way to flash this modem.bin over custom firmwares!!
here is the sgs version of it!! This thread contains of all modem.bin of stock firmware to be flashed over custom rom to get better baseband for samsung galaxy s!
Even I used to face similar problem but only on custom rom's not on stock ones.. but using the stock rom's is too boring so now I have flashed with purungrit's rom v.1.0, kernel G3 mod 2.0, and its working fine, no network issues. The theme is good with extended power menu and 5 lockscreen.. u can try this. we can flash custom rom's based on Indian firmwares and face no network problems, problem is only with European or other countries firmwares..

I'm running Carbon CO2 1.1. My question is will i lose my flash to the Cricket network if i install a new rom? I afraid to wipe data/factory reset. I looked around and found no solution. Thanks in advance!
I just flashed the phone yesterday so don't know much about flashed phones.
No.
Roms and unlocks are different beasts.
Thanks, everything went well.
What ROM did you use to get to Cricket? My parents are leaving Sprint and don't want to buy new phones..
Generally, flashing over to another carrier isn't handled by a rom, but by "flashing" (different than flashing a rom.) It requires editing network information to get the phone to connect to another network. I haven't had that much experience with Cricket, but I know that they are willing to flash your phone at the stores when you sign up for service. Granted, some of their flashes are "Voice and text only" but you can search on here, there are many ways and tools to enable data. Once I leave the office I'll look for a few links and post if I find any.
Hey fellow XDA'ers, I have a strange problem on my G920T that's been bugging me for a while. After flashing a custom ROM, my EFS was messed up. Thankfully I had backed it up prior to any custom ROMs. All works well n the phone except whenever it's rebooted it fails to register to T-Mobile's network. So I have to bring up the dialer, type in *#2263# and choose Band Selection, then LTE, then LTE All (which is already asterisked) and tap it again. Only then will it register on the network and then works fine. I've tried everything under the sun including restoring EFS backup, flashing back to stock, etc., to no avail.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of or can write a script that automatically runs the above process after reboot. I don't know enough to do so, and I'm not sure one exists. Not a vital request, more of an "I'm not going to be beaten by my phone" kind of thing. I'm willing to throw a $$ donation if someone were to write or provide a working script. Thanks!

Hey fellow XDA'ers, I have a strange problem on my G920T that's been bugging me for a while. After flashing a custom ROM, my EFS was messed up.

Before you do that, is the custom ROM based on the same baseband your phone has?
Yes, the custom ROM is based on the same baseband - which is a great question. I’m using the stock rooted deodexed deKnoxed DOJ7 T-Mobile variant ROM with DOJ7 baseband. I’m DOJ7 across the board. This problem has persisted through multiple stock and custom ROMs. It seems to have started when I flashed the Back to N0t3 Note5 port to S6 ROM. I also get the Security Error: Your device has been flashed blah blah blah - but only when manually registering on the network.
I’ve been around the block as far as rooting and customizing my phone for a good while, and I’ve tried every trick I know to get this straightened out. SIM card works fine on my wife’s identical S6, so it’s not that. Short of hardware failure (which isn’t likely based on functionality when manually registered on network), something in some file was erased or corrupted and I can’t figure it out. Thanks for your question.

Hi
Did you ever manage to get it fixed I'm having the same problem on my g920f and my imei is 350000000006 and serial all zeros
Thanks

Somehow I ****ed up and now my phone cannot receive cellular signal at all. In about phone, IEMI number is unknown and in SIM card info, everything is unknown. What I did was this.
1. Flash CSC Selector on my existing ROM selecting ATT CSC. Everything was fine (aside from no voice/wi-fi calling)
2. Wanted to update to latest stock PDA/radio/bootloader so I did (through Odin.) Everything still good.
THIS IS WHERE **** HIT THE FAN
3. Flashed TWRP.
4. Formated data, flashed CSC selector selecting ATT, flashed Makisk, flash Makisk-PHH rot.
After that, no cellular signal at all.
Can someone help please? I really need this phone for work and if I can't get it working tonight, I'm going to have to go to AT&T store and ask for the cheapest phone they got until I can get this fixed...
BTW I already tried re-flashing everything to stock through Odin and it did not help.

Follow the instructions. Faced the same problem took hours to figure the **** out.
