For some unknown reason, my Fuze stopped picking up phone signal the other day. The little No Phone Service icon is in the top taskbar.
The only thing that I had changed recently was installed Opera 9.7 over 9.5 (shouldn't matter).
It still gets data. I installed the SIM card in another phone and it works fine, so it is definitely my Fuze. I tried a soft reset. I tried removing my battery. I tried doing another Connection Setup. I reflashed the radio. All not effective.
All that I can think of now is to do a hard reset (and why not flash a new ROM!).
Anyone else have this problem and any solutions?
Thanks.

ANY LUCK??
Yep! Same problem, sorta. I created a thread on my issue too. I'm going to try to return mine today for a new one. Mine is only a month old. They better not try to push a refurb on me.

I ended up doing a hard reset and flashing a new ROM (EnergyROM 3.0). Problems solved. Never figured out problem, but it was clearly a software issue.
I also tried the EnergyROM 3.0.......it was the last ROM I had on here before I flashed it back to stock. My issue is a little different though. Mine will have signal for varying amounts of time, then I can't access internet, can't place/receive calls. Though my status icons show I'm connected 3G. I reboot phone then status icons show no connectivity at all...........if I lay the phone down for a bit and come back to it, I may or may not have service again. Very frustrating........
I have just purchased an Optimus 3d and hate to be the first to report having random reboots especially while copying large data from internal SD to the external one (per 3 trial to copy an +300MB file to the external SD i have 2 reboots). The phone seems stable while plugged in (both AC or USB) though. Problem usually occurs while the screen off. I have it 3-4 times a day while not copying a file.
These are the things I've done to see if the problem would be fixed with no luck.
- Installing different ROMs (v10b, v10d and v10e all custom)
- Factory reset (to make sure no 3rd party app cause this)
- Trying different SD card (using no external SD seems to decrease the reboots, but they still exist )
Now trying to use an official ROM and will see if the problem will be fixed.
Edit: Tried with the official v10d, and still the same
Any suggestions?
[FIX]: The GB update fixes the problem
Am I the only one having this issue?
I get 2-3 random reboots a day too, usually while it's in standby and doing nothing

Sorry to hear that.
I was among the lucky ones when purchased the Optimus 2x. It was perfect without any issues. And now, just paid my due
could be a faulty phone, had mine since july 1, and hasn't rebooted once, even with all the mods etc
Noticed mine rebooted by itself yesterday,1st time i know of,i have had the phone for a few weeks now,hope it doesnt start doing it regularly..
I've had one or two sleep of death and one or two reboots during the month+ I've had it, nothing major but I think LG got something messy in their ROM just like with the O2X, hopefully it wont turn out to be a hardware fault.
Ive had mine reboot randomly too P925g(rogers/thrill version) also once and a while all my bars will drop and i will have no signal couple minutes later and its back up
I get 2-3 random reboots per day lately
Quick question, do you have Bluetooth switched on when it's doing this?

No, bluetooth always disabled in my case...
Im thinking that its a hardware fault
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA Premium App
not happened to me once ?
i have had the phone since 3 days before it was released in the uk ..
i have most roms and all seem to work well i even tries copying a file bigger than 300 mb between memory cards and no reboot either ... so i have no idea ...
this is interesting as i am having the same issue as well. but mine isnt rebooting.. its turning off completely. i come to see the phone and its off.
only had it for like 4 days now!
Maybe your SIM card is corrupted??
Try with another.
same problem
I had the same problem. I can tell you that you can't fix it by yourself. Your phone is broken. I used the LG VIP service to get a new phone and problems are over now. This is a hardware problem. Will never fix by reset or re install. Tip. Don't use the guarantee service of your provider but do it via LG. The most providers will keep your phone and send him back without doing anything on it because the problems is not when you turn your phone on. Good luck.
i suspect a sim card issue as well. mine currently randomly shuts off completely... i've seem issues with bad sim cards causing reboots ... but again mine shuts off so ...
I'm having the same problem with mine, I've replied to a thread on LG's forums and now I've sent LG a email because I'm starting to get worried about the phone. I've had problems with signal but after a long talk with T-Mobile CS I managed to fix the problem where I couldn't access internet when not at home on wifi, it was set to use orange signal instead of T-mobile all the time hehe.
I'm wondering how would a sim card cause a phone to reboot? I've been using phones for several years and the only problem a sim card has caused is no signal and in old days loosing contacts.
I was thinking it might be a over heating problem but then since it always does it when it's doing nothing and I'm nowhere near the phone I'm not sure it is.
Well, actually this problem found me!
When I've changed the rom for first time, I got this problem moments after first flash. Now, I've switched to V10j, and today when my phone was connected to Car Kit through bluetooth the phone restarted, I made reconnection and the phone restarted again, then I made wipe for data and cashe(For first time), but when I connect it again I got the same problem.
Now, I will see, if it keeps happening, I will use LG Tool to recover.
Edit: I did what I said and evrything goes fine.
I used to have 3-5 reboots a day, but only when phone is NOT connected to usb, charger or pc, dont matter.
Now it's gone up to a reboot every 20-30 minutes, still ONLY when usb is connected, when it's connected it can connect for ages it seems.
The major thing that changed in my phone is the 10k update that came in about a week ago or so, but I cant really recall if the up in problems started just than, as most of the time i'm using my phone through OSP.
First i thought the problem didnt occur when the phone was running any program (eg. in my car i usually have heytell app running) but tests proved me wrong.
other odd things are that recently i cannot do updates or download thru market anymore over wifi, i have to turn wifi off or else it will result in an update or download error. Strangely enough the phone software came in thru wifi no problem.
Tech support suggested a hard reset of the phone, but i read now that this dont solve the problem, i'm not looking forward to a resetm because when I do a full backup thru lg suite, and it dont work either, gives me an error with 0/8 back items finished and telling me that not backed up items are removed from the the restore list (jeay!).
any suggestions are wellcome!
Just got my phone back from service, I was assured by LG that they have tested the phone and the phone is fine, I checked the firmware on the phone and it is V10B, I was told that they (LG service center) don't have the V10J,what rubbish!!! I will have to upgrade the phone myself, so I did, I installed all my apps, NO ROOTING, my wifi is set on never, I know some PPL have been suggesting to switch it off, well, I paid $738,00 for a smartphone, if I can't use the smart features of the phone then what is the use gettnig a smart phone? anyways, I put a web cam on the phone to record, this morning I went through the footage, the phone has restarted 4 times, I started the recording at 11:00 pm, at the 3:05 am one restart, then at 4:08 am, 4:16 and finally at 6:15 am, this is a major fault in this phone that is supposed to be top notch, I will be calling the service center today to see what excuse I will be getting. I have wasted hours in installing re installing and trying fix a problem that should not be even there, also taking the time off to take the phone to service and then to pick it up.
Alright everyone, I've Googled my brains out (not in a dirty way) and haven't found any real resolution to the above issue. I've tried all the usual suspects; replacing the SIM Card, cleaning the SIM Card, adding tape to the back side of the card to ensure good contact, replacing SIM/MicroSD PCB Board, fresh Wipe of ROMs and Radios, etc. None of those things have had any real results except replacing the PCB-it seems to be less frequently occurring with the new SIM tray. Does anyone have any other ideas? I'm willing to try just about anything.
Thanks in advance.

How often does this happen?
It only happens to me when I have to change the network mode. I've rarely seen it other except for maybe when my phone finds an LTE signal.
Otherwise, it could be the antennas. My mom once dropped her Samsung Focus and the antennas got screwed up.

Sometimes it'll happen through several reboots within a few minutes. It'll also happen when my phone is sitting, untouched, on my desk. There shouldn't be any network mode switching if my phone isn't moving.

The only thing I can think of is to flash back to Stock AT&T software and see what happens. If you still have the same problem, it's most likely an antenna issue and you might be better off buying a new phone.
Time to return to stock and see what happens. Ugh, what an annoying issue.
EDIT: After returning to stock and installing TWRP I ran the stock UCMC1 software for a little while without incident. While I was setting up CM I got the dreaded "No SIM-Emergency Calls Only" message. I'm at a loss here. I guess it might just be time to start shopping for a new phone.
EDIT: I'm going to try running *SHUDDERS* stock Samsung/AT&T software for a few days to see if the problem persists. I'm pretty skeptical that this is a software issue, though, since I haven't seen too many people reporting this issue.
Good effort
Given all your efforts in eliminating various variables, I'm starting to believe Hangampalli is probably right and it might be a Hardware issue.
But it is a simple observation to stay on a solid stock ROM like the recent UCMC1 (original att version) for a couple of days and see what happens.
You remind me of myself with my Samsung Galaxy S (Captivate) random shutdowns last year. I chewed up all the threads at XDA back to back and tried anything, and it still did it ... but we all know when to quit.
Cheers to your efforts:good:
I727-UCMC1-CM10.1
Well after about 20 minutes into running the phone on UCMC1 Stock my phone came up with the same stupid error. I'm going to see if AT&T is willing to do anything for me since I just got this phone as a replacement in October. But if not, I guess I'll be phone shopping. :-/ Such a shame because I really love this phone and its community of users and devs.

its the phone, is it still under warranty
I got the phone as a replacement from AT&T (bad headphone jack, last time) in about October. I'm going to try to see if they'll replace it for me. Fingers crossed.
Ya I have had this same problem. Changing ROMs fixed it for me though.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
AT&T apparently warranties their replacement devices for 90 days or until the end of the original device's warranty, whichever is longer.
What does that mean for me? I'm boned. I guess I'm stuck with my iPhone until I buy a new phone. It's going to be hard leaving this great community of Developers and Users and shedding such a great device.
Humm... I wonder if I have the same problem, is there any tests you can do to see if it is the sim card tray or something like the attenna ? I seem to have service sometimes, not all the time.
Hi guys,
I've been a lurker on XDA for quite some time, and I just want to say, I absolutely love you guys. You're all very helpful and so knowledgeable. I can finally say I have an issue, I'm hoping is a software issue only, that I need help with.
Last week I was running Stock Rom Lollipop 5.0.1 on my Google Nexus 5 and now I cannot get a GSM signal AT ALL. No Calls, No SMS, and No Data. The same SIM card can work just fine on my unlocked Nokia Lumia 635. I am long past my RMA. What can I do to try getting the GSM to work and TURN ON MY GSM RADIO? I'm sure if the radio turns on, everything else should work as well.
Brief History: Phone has been dropped on cement before and got Screen replaced. My internal speaker got loose and I just got it readjusted by a nice technician near where I live. I've survived with this phone from Day 1 until now with some cosmetic wear-and-tear, but it was only from last week before I left work, AFTER I UNPLUGGED MY PHONE FROM THE WALL SOCKET that the GSM signal just dropped.... permanently. And what I mean by this is, the "radio" is off permanently (I cannot turn it on even with the option in *#*#INFO#*#* with SIM card inserted) even after reboot, airplane mode on/off, and APN setup (which can never be saved and hangs when selecting automatically 'detecting'). Note: The Phone can charge just fine and connect to the computer perfectly fine as well (in case you guys think it may be related to the microUSB port assembly). I have been taking out my SIM frequently, so I'm still not 100% sure if it is or is not my SIM Card Reader pins that have an issue.
I have fastbooted several factory images on this device many times from the Google factory images repository, mainly going back and forth between 4.4.4 and 5.0.1 which I believe are the best releases so far IMO. Even after installing the factory roms on this phone, (no root) I still get no signal no matter what I do. When I remove my sim card tray from the phone, I get "No SIM Card". When I put it back in, I get that message going away, which gives me the impression the SIM card reader is fine. My technician took a look at the entire phone hardware and said he didn't find ANYTHING strange. He tried using a known working back-cover with antennas to debug the issue but that didn't help. I don't remember what he said about the sim card reader, but I think that was also fine (will double check next week). When I got the phone back from the tech, he just told me that there are no "hardware" issues he knows of, and so this must be "software".
Any leads you can give me? I'm pretty tech savvy, and do understand things like partitions, fastboot, adb, etc, so any solution, even abstract, I'm willing to try. Google reps were pretty clueless on helping me out here, so I'm looking for some support, please!
I've also heard that this issue is not uncommon on Nexus 5. Is this true? How many users have been having this issue? I thought Nexus 5 should have been built great to last a long time... guess I was wrong.

Same situation on my Nexus 5 that started a few days ago. Thought it had something to do with the 5.1 Lollipop update and saw some users were having similar problems. Tried flashing different radios/basebands/roms/kernels to no avail. Currently running 5.0.1
Hoping it is not a hardware problem, going to take it to a local technician today. Also beyond warranty. Everything else works fine. Has always been in a hard case but dropped a couple of times with no prior issues. Any insight?
5.1 is the best software. If it's not hardware all I can suggest is a full factory reset. My SD card was not acessable and pple said try this and that command. No luck. Did a factory reset and got the SD back Oh and screen shots which had gone as well.

Hi Guys,
I have a problem with my Nexus 5 in that it overheats to around 70 degrees (got to 101 at one point!) Just by being on, even without using it. It even heats up when you check the battery when powered off (by pressing the power button once) only by a little bit.
I also have another problem, the phone can detect the SIM card and displays the number on the SIM, but it says no signal.
A third problem is that when the phone is locked and the screen is off, it randomly restarts. This doesn't happen when the phone is in use.
I would really appreciate if you guys could help me,
Thanks
1. What rom are you using? do you use a custom kernel?
2. try reflashing factory images.
3. remove simcard and enable aieplane mode. check if it reboots or lverhears
the round antena wires come loose afaik. i ordered a new set lf antenas and replaced them. phone is much cooler and i get better reception and battery life
I'm running the stock android 6.0.1 which I flashed.
It detects the SIM but doesn't get a signal,
I checked and the wires are not loose, maybe I will order the antenna wires as a last resort.
If anyone has any other suggestions, feel free to tell me

Is your GPS working? My Nexus5 have same issue as yours plus GPS is Dead too. After some search I found that the GSM chip is the same of GPS so I think the problem is the chip itself.
