Hello!
I got a Lumia 1020 from Amazon because I was feeling nostalgic and wanted to try it. Unfortunately the WiFi and Bluetooth do not seem to work. Already during the initial setup of the phone when it wants you to connect to a network it just shows the drop down menu with when you want to turn it back on. After the setup process is done and I go into settings to try and turn on the WiFi toggle, it just immediately says 'Can't do this right now'. Likewise, the Bluetooth toggle is just completely greyed out.
I tried soft resets, hard resets, reset by WDRT and reset by flashing an original FFU via WPInternals, but no joy. Any other suggestions before I contact the seller and tell him he sold me crap and see if I can get my money back? It's fine to use it as a camera only, but no wifi or internet whatsoever to update some apps, including Lumia Camera is a bit silly.

Hi All,
Firstly, I love this site have gotten alot of great upgrades from all of you so thank you. Now to the question, I have the HTC Touch Cruise and have been temporarily kicked off the cell network for reasons of a large phone bill. However, trying to turn on my phone has become a massive hassle now. I have two options of turning on my phone now that I have been suspended pending payment:
#1 - I can turn on my phone and enter in my sim card password:
In which case I will constalty get a warning that creates a window each time that says
"WARNING - There is a problem connecting the GPRS service in your registerd home network."
I can not stop this warning it seems, i can click the x but another window with the same warning will open because my sim car is still trying to connect to the network. I will also get a remnet.exe warning as well, but becuase of the previous warning box, (that will not go away no matter how many times you close it) i can not read what the remnet.exe warning says.
It is most importantly to point out, that this constant error, and constantly trying to connect to the network does not allow me to press anything else, it is as if these errors override everything, it is so bad that I can not even turn my phone off, as the error message will pop up in front of the power off option menu.
#2 - or I can turn on my phone and bypass the sim card option.
In this case I also get a frustrating warning that will not disappear, in this case though the warning comes from the top bar on the main screen, and it goes like this:
"CANNOT CONNECT - Dialed - The answering modem has disconnected. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap settings."
This warning, just as in option 1, seems to override all other options i have in the phone. I cannot even get to the comm manager to at least put it in flight mode, which essentially turns off all connections. However when bypassing my sim car, the phone still tries to connect to the cell network.

So these are my two options that I know of. Unfortunately in both options its a losing battle. I was hoping to hear if anyone knows or have experienced this problem and has found a work around to disable these warnings and error messages, so that when you know you dont have the network you can still play with your phone, even use the tom tom gps which does not use the cell network. This I also can not do because of these warnings that pops up.
I would give you more details of the phone, but I cant access it so I am not for sure which specific one is. I have only modified htc today screen, so its still main OS is windows mobile 6 and the last that I had checked windows could not find any updates.
Hi,
I am a newbie to Android. I have no idea how to even start to fix it.
It's only been three days since I received my new phone and its already crashing.
Right now, my OS is not even starting properly
error:
The application Launcher(process com.android.launcher)has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
It flashes every time. Can anyone help me with this?
P.S. I tried connecting the device to the Laptop and the phone wouldn't connect using USB and the Loading circle will circle around and then the phone will go to sleep mode after I power it back on, it still will not be connected.
did you try a factory reset?
go to settings.
go to accounts and sync.
press your google account.
make sure everything is checked off (especially your contacts).
at this point you may want to reboot your phone and give it a few minutes if there were unchecked items that now need to sync with googles servers. After you have done that...
go to settings.
go to privacy.
make sure "back up my data" and "automatic restore" are checked with the green check marks.
then select "factory data reset"
!!WARNING YOU WILL WIPE ALL THE DATA OFF YOUR PHONE. IF YOU DO NOT USE GOOGLE TO BACK UP YOUR CONTACTS YOU WILL LOOSE THEM ALL!!
If you haven't tried this all ready you can give it a try. I have done it 100's of times (in the last year).
I already did this.
I think the launcher is working, but now the USB storage is being detected.
I thought that if I root the phone, it would be easier. I made the phone to Debug mode and my laptop(windows 7) is not recognizing the device.
N5 purchased direct from Google in early spring, has been used as daily driver since then with little issue. In official hard silicon case since day 1.
stock 4.4.4, unlocked + root. Rather innocuous app list (TiBU, F-Droid / AdAway, etc)
Recently after a reset to attempt ridding of some minor issue (funky reception or something), upon finishing boot, phone didn't ask for SIM pin, as always prior.
Quickly revealed because phone does not even detect SIM. Different SIM from another carrier attempted. No difference. Original SIM also attempted in a different N5, still works. So problem appears to be with phone.
Nothing of note to precipitate this happening. Power menu shows Airplane mode is ON, but cannot be toggled. Quick Settings Airplane Mode can be toggled on and off and icon does change (so sometimes contrasting what power menu reports), but SIM never detected / activated / used, ZERO radio available. Attempts to make calls say "first disable Airplane mode". Many attempted combinations of SIM in / out, Airplane Mode in quicksettings toggled, resets, etc. No dice.
Everything else works with the phone, this came on suddenly.
Tried reflashing same radio. No dice. Tried flashing 4.4.3 radio. No dice. Tried factory reset and also re-flashing entire phone to 4.4.4. No dice.
After all that I am led to believe this must be a hardware issue, but I wanted to know if you guys had any suggestions before forced to send back in to Google.
Googling reveals some other instances of this happening to people, but no real solutions provided. Why would the hardware suddenly just die, and why would it present itself the way it does?
Side note, if it DOES go back to Google, does anyone know how to avoid getting refurb in return? That is all they are offering and will not budge. Yet less than a year ago I had to replace an N4, and received a new replacement, without even making a particular request for it.
Sounds like your radio hardware has gone bad you have done everything to troubleshoot software issues RMA it to google

People,
I hesitate to ask the question again, but I promise you that I've read everything on the subject that I can find (including many of the 171 pages of the "Nexus 5 Flashable Modems and EFS Backup" thread...) and also on a lot of other sites.
My son's N5 on 5.1.1 ran out of battery a month ago (it worked perfectly for the 15 months that I had used it) and when he recharged it he'd lost mobile data. He had the mobile service triangle in the notification bar, but empty. No service.
I have tried absolutely every suggestion that I've read. Airplane mode on/off. Flashed 3 older radios. Installed older Lollipop & Kitkat 4.4.4 from Google Nexus factory image site. Installed the latest nightly of Cyanogenmod. Installed MPZ79M. Rooted it. Nothing works.
I don't believe it's a hardware problem - when I remove and replace the SIM the notification goes from the square with a diagonal bar across it ("no SIM") to the empty triangle. But as soon as I reboot (not just screen off & waken, but full restart) the triangle is replaced with the "No SIM" square again. The same reaction happens on the initialisation after a factory reset - at the "Register SIM" screen it says "No SIM", but extracting and replacing the SIM starts the "Attempting to connect to service" sceen, though this just does nothing until my patience runs out and I skip it. The SIM itself has 3 scratches along it, so all in all I don't think it's a contact problem, but something in the software. The SIM works fine in the Nexus 4 that I've given him.
EFS - I don't know enough about it still, but the phone displays the correct IMEI, so I'm hoping that this means that the EFS is not corrupted?
I know that this is a well-known problem, but on the off-chance that somebody has read a solution that I haven't found...
Thanks for your patience and any help you can offer.
Oh well...
...I guess I have a £350 paperweight?
I suppose at least I can use it as an entertainment console, since wifi seems to be ok. But a terrible shame to waste such a beautiful device.
Maybe you already tried it... Just to be sure:
a) You have incorrect APN configuration, to solve this try resetting your APNs via Settings > Wireless & networks > More > Mobile networks > Access Point Names and then click in three dots above and select "Reset to default".
b) Your mobile phone antenna unit is not working properly, solving this is pretty easy, shutdown your phone, remove your phone's back panel very carefully (using a plastic material..i did it using guitar pick) and then you'll see two wires adjacent to edges of your phone, just remove and refix them gently and reboot your device.
c) Reboot in safe mode and try to play with the preferred network type.
d) I had this problem "No service and no signal network in nexus 5" after restarting phone.
I tried to restart phone few times again and reinsert sim card. No luck.
Then I took sim card out while phone was on ( I forgot to turn it off) and reinsert it and now it's working fine.
It must be a contact problem. Just not shure how long will it work.

Thanks, Primokorn, I'll give your suggestions a go - appreciate the ideas.
I have tried the APN settings, but since there's no SIM (huh!) it's greyed out, though it's temporarily updateable if I extract/replace the SIM while the phone's on - but it's grey again on the next reboot.

Primokorn,
No luck. I tried all of these with no result at all. It looks as if this is a very serious flaw in the Nexus 5 - I had my doubts, to be honest, when my son said it started after the phone ran out of battery, but I see exactly the same explanation from other people in the huge number of threads reporting this no-radio problem. How can Google issue such a good phone with such a lousy bug in it...? No point in even asking them (though I've seen at least one person who tried with an impressivly helpful response from the Google support person) since not only is the phone out of warranty but it has been rooted.
Oh well, I enjoyed it while I had it...
I had a small hardware shop unlock a Rogers Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-930W8) and many things have straight-up stopped working. Keyboard, back and recent apps vibration feedback is always weaker than usual. I have already factory reset this phone 5 times out of frustration now, and have tried to also back up a phone from Smart Switch, but all Smart Switch is giving me is a "Failed to connect to device, the connection to this device has timed out." Another difference from before and after is Knox giving me a Security notice, details are "Unauthorized actions have been detected." When I tap the notification, it brings me to the Device security part of Settings, and says that there is a Threat found and I have to restart the phone to undo any unauthorized changes, upon restarting the same error appears in the notification pane everytime I try this process. I have also noticed unexplained slowdowns while launching apps and hitting back and the phone actually doing something. Yet another thing I have noticed is that the phone does not seem to remember any WiFi connections that I connect to and takes excessively long to turn on WiFi and excessively long to connect to any WiFi connection. Another different thing that happens is whenever I reboot the phone, a process called "LoggingService" always crashes. There are still several issues I have noticed, and it's only been 3 hours since unlocking the phone. The device is not rooted.
My dad has been unable to unlock his S7, despite trying to do so directly with Rogers. Did you unlock the phone yourself? Were you able to figure out what went wrong after the unlocking?
