[SOLVED] 3g not working in India

Well, i haven't used 3g till now, and today activated it, only to find that it doesnt work.
DDKP3
BCK Kernel Beta 13
Deodexed
No other mods.
Network mode is automatic
When i select WCDMA only. The phone is not able to connect to the network.
And on automatic, the phone stays on EDGE only
Anyone insights on it?
Had read Argentine people having 3g problems long ago. Anyone from there can help?
Also had read somewhere that it might be a CSC problem. I checked using *#1234# to see if CSC is unknown, but its proper.
More info from further posts and replies -
Service provider is Vodafone India.
Confirmed that its a phone problem, by using the SIM in another phone [SE Xperia Arc], and it worked on it.
SOLUTION -
Well, I had removed the sim to try it on another phone, and well on putting it back in the phone, it worked!
I actually feel like a noob after this!
Anyway, thanks everyone for trying to help!
I'm using 3g.... its working great!!! What service do you use? Also are u sure you have subscribed to 3G services... sometimes it takes a while to get activated.

Yea, obviously it isn't a general problem faced by all.
I guess, someone who's faced such a problem only might be able to help.
Had read alot of people having such issues, but now searching isn't giving quite the required results.
If you can, try your SIM card into another smartphone which is confirmed working with 3G, just to be sure the problem comes from your phone.

[Q] Screen is black put still on (get calls, vibrates etc)

Hey guys!
I've had my phone for a couple of moths and just a few days ago it started acting weird. When i lock and unlock the phone my screen is black, but the phone is on and "fully working". If someone calls me, the phone vibrates but the screen is still black. Only way to fix it is to reboot. Anyone had this issue or know any solution?
Thanks

Its just a Franco issue as far as I know I've had the same issues using r40 using the stock kernel or any others its fine no s.o.d

Nice...
Glad I saw this thread. I was thinking it was a kernel related issue. I'm rooted stock with Franco. I was having the issue a few times around r40 - r44. Updated to r45 the other day and haven't had any issues since.
The issue disappeared as soon as I updated to r47. Thanks, guys

No sound on call

I have been facing this issue on my indian dual sim moto g since last 3-4 days. When i try to make a call i realise that there is no sound coming from the call. Putting it in speaker mode our putting a headset on does not help. The other party also cant hear anything.
The only solution to this seems to rebooting the phone which rectifies the issue. But i have already had this issue thrice in the last 3-4 days. Anyone else facing this issue or anyone has any idea of why it could be occurring?

Hmm.. wonder if its affecting in the indian dual sim model only or global version too. But the strange thing is that the issue occurred even when i switched to cm11 too. So i guess it has something to do with the radio..

This issue is common on most Moto G phone. Here - https://forums.motorola.com/posts/efb1c28e8d
You can fix it by pressing both volume down and up button at the same time.

Thanks a lot for the solution.. i had no idea that it could be resolved without a reboot. Happened to me today and got sorted after trying your fix..
Edit: just saw on another thread that this issue is happening on nexus 5 too. Seems like an issue with 4.4.2 and will hopefully be resolved with an update..

I think it's a problem of your device. As your problem is solved after a reboot, you may reset you phone, and observe whether the problem arise again or not. If the same problem arise again, you should better to contact the customer care.

Thanks for replying. But i am not the only one facing this issue. There are many moto g users who have complained of the same issue on various threads. I just thought that i will try to find the cause of this issue that's y opened a new thread. Also as i mentioned in the previous post, a guy with nexus 5 is facing the same issue. This tells me that its a prob with kitkat rather than my device..

[Q] CM11 total loss of signal

I flashed the latest nightly yesterday. Everything was great. Then last night I had a total inability to make or receive phone calls. I thought it might just be an install issue so I did a reinstall and unfortunately same resuts. Im using radio m8974a-2.0.50.1.13..... is this the issue. It works perfectly on stock 4.4.3 and im rooted. I like the rom but need my phone to work. Any suggesions?

If relevant, does your carrier require anything special? (e.g. Sprint users need to flash a fix for APN or something, I wouldn't know as my carrier doesn't need anything)
Was it working at any point in time while on the ROM, or was it like that on first installation?

I use at&t it worked at first for about an hour then stopped. I think it has something to do with the new 4.4.3 stuff. 4.4.2 was fine.
BTW this also happened to a few people on another custom ROM when they went from 4.4.2 to .3. They had to revert to stop also.

Unfortunately there's never been a way to convert the Verizon addition to a developer edition as far as I know. But with S OFF there is really no difference because the device is completely unlocked and you can do whatever you please with it.

Can you link me to the exact one that you are running currently? I installed the 1122 build yesterday and everything was fine until I rebooted the ROM and I lost data completely and was unable to get it back. I heard of a few others complaining of the same issue. Have you tried to reboot your phone and see if data still working with wifi off? If so and it is please link me to it exactly which version you're running thanks

I installed it a hour ago. No problems yet
I have been wanting to convert mine to a dev for a long time, and there are two different posts out on the m8 forum for this but they only work for the gsm versions such as international, tmobile and at&t. And I"am sure there has to be a way for our verizon m8 its just finding it, as ours is a world phone being both cdma and gsm, even if it had to only run on the gsm side it could still work if they get the volte update pushed out as part of L then there would be no need for cdma for us and we could just totally run off verizon lte which is actually gsm.
So this may be a possibility in the near future especially. I myself not only want the updates directly from htc which are faster but I would prefer to never ever again have to run verizon software / firmware because all verizon wants to do is lock us all out.
At least all the other carriers allow htc dev to unlock the bootloaders but verizon just likes to be total asses about this, I guess they think they are too big for there britches, for this exact reason I really wish I could switch to at&t but I dont have coverage for them at home with zero bars maybe some edge coverage 1% of the time never enough to use the phone on, and verizon is not much better with only getting 1x data and no plans to upgrade.
So I"am with all of you on this I would like to convert my verizon m8 to dev also and ditch verizon having any control over my phone ever again, as I pay them for service and not to try to lock down my phone which I"am supposed to legally own with honoring my side of the their 2 year contract.
But for that matter you can buy a phone at full retail price and they still try to lock you down.
