Hello,
I have a question regarding the LG KS20 from Vodafone Germany.
I was using it for a couple of days and then it was hanging. I removed the battery and restarted the phone. Now the WLAN / Wifi option completely disappeared from the Connection Manager. It just shows Bluetooth and Telephone now. Also, the WLAN manager from the connection settings is gone.
I had this situation before, sent the phone to repair and got back the same repaired. Now the issue happened again.
The strange thing is that neither a hardware reset now the factory reset code will cure the problem.
I would be grateful if someone can provide any hint.
Thanks
Ron

Hi Experts, can you kindly help me out with the following problem :
I have an o2 sim in the orbit phone & the signal seems to be lost very frequently.. I am not sure why.. Having tried to switch on between the flight mode & phone mode, it does get the signal back but not very often though .
Also tried to swith off / on the phone but still the same result.
Any ideas why the signal seems to get lost ?
Thanks in advance for your help guys
Intereference XDA Orbit
I'm having a problem with my Orbit also which sounds similar to your problem. The device works fine then it goes through a cycle of 'no signal' then 'flight mode' and occasionally there is a signal. The problem renders the phone aspect of the device useless and seems to be caused by interference of some kind (Electrical devices such as transceivers and power tools to name a few). I have tried numerous hard resets to resolve the problem but that did not work. It only starts to work properly at unexplainable intervals.
Sometimes a soft reset will temporarily resolve the problem but not for long. O2 UK have not responded to my query so make of it as you will.
I originaly had WM5 which was had the problems i've described and when i upgraded to WM6 the problems went for about 6 weeks but they have returned with the newer OS.
Any ideas anyone???
Cheers, M

I have this rather annoying issue on the Desire. The phone is brand new, i bought it upon release. The problem is that whenever i enable GPS on the phone the Mobile Network connection gets killed. Attempting to reactivate it by switching mobile network on and off does nothing.
The only way to get the mobile Network back up again is to switch of GPS and reboot the phone.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? (i searched the forums, only found one user on these forums)... It could help me figure out if this issue is limited to my device...
Regardless, I already contacted HTC on this matter, i will post their response here as soon as i get it.
Thanks!
Odd. The only thing that springs to mind is that somehow the A-GPS is messing with your network. Try disabling A-GPS.
Is the phone bought from the network provider? If so, any network incompatibilities is their responsibility. Or even if it was store bought, you have reasonable expectations from HTC that it should work with local networks. If its gray import however, you're probably on your own.
Yep same issue with my HTC: When GPS enabled -> No more data transfer.
I'll also send a mail to HTC.
I reset the phone to factory settings today and to problem is now gone. My best guess is that the issue was caused by a third party app i installed (i'm not sure however, since all apps are sandboxed).
I installed two apps that made use of location services: GPS Status and Trapster. I'll download them again to see if they are the cause of this problem.
Please post back here if the factory reset works for you. This could help other people that experience this problem.
BTW, does anyone know of way to read error logs of the device? The OS must have software errors logged somewhere...
Thanks for the replies!
Received an answer from HTC (sent a mail about my Data Connection Problem few days ago):
"Thank you for contacting us in regards to connectivity on your Desire, I can help you with that. This issue has been reported to our developers for investigation and we hope to have a solution available soon. I trust that this resolves your query"
Hope also this "solution" will be available soon...
Guys,
I did a hard reset (return to factory settings ) on my Desire today and guess what:
Both my Data problems (no data after use of Wifi and or GPS) are gone !
Tested several times Wifi & GPS , also did a reboot and tested again, all seems working again, no more 3G data problem anymore.
So I guess one of the extra apps I installed caused the 3G Data Connection issue.
I'll reïnstall them one by one to see if I can catch the "guilty" one.
I also hope that problem doesn't return after a while without a cause.
SYMPTOM: can't see any mobile networks
BACKGROUND: I've been using htc one x for a month now. Initially on three, but their signal was unusable at home, so sim-unlocked and switched a couple of weeks ago to giffgaff ( a virtual network on top of the UK o2 network).
All has been fine, until today. I sent a few texts & calls in the morning, and mobile data was working. Since then, I can't see any mobile network.
wifi is fine.
Search Networks pops up "Error while searching for networks" and finds none.
No software changes of any sort since last successful call. No changes at all today, at least until I tried to diagnose the problem.
Running stock rom, with the WW update of a couple of weeks ago (1.28.771.9.CL56522 release-keys) -- neither S-OFF nor unlocked bootloader.
Nothing obvious to me in the normal or radio logcat logs.
The only thing I did after the last successful call was to run sensorly to try and map a trip. I've used this before without any problems. It got no connection but I thought nothing of that. I've since uninstalled it just in case it could somehow be interfering with the radio.
THINGS I'VE TRIED:
No, the airplane mode isn't on, and mobile is. I've toggled airplane from settings and power switch, many times
recreated the APN
checked other phones - yes there are a number of networks visible
tried the original o2 sim - same problem
safe mode
cold boot
reboot, reboot, reboot
obviously I haven't pulled the battery...
turned off wifi, in case it was somehow interfering
HTC diagnostic tool
factory reset
confirmed imei is not blocked
Any ideas? Bearing in mind that I'm looking for something which can happen spontaneously.
Interestingly, while writing this I've just noticed that Baseband version shows as Unknown. That worries me - is it possible that my radio partition has spontaneously corrupted itself?
I did speak to 02 support - they said to take it into a shop for warranty repair. I don't want to try a custom ROM just yet -- not when I might have to use the warranty. But is there any way to force it to reinstall the stock rom (preferably not involving windows)?
I have the same problem as well and flashing custom roms did not solve it for me. But for me even the IMEI number is shown as UNKNOWN...I haven't done anything special to get this issue, one day when I woke up the phone could not connect to any network.
I have tried a lot of different methods but with no success. I don't think we can do anything about the baseband without S-OFF.
If a hard reset fails, then it's time to think about returning the unit. Either get a refund or get it replaced.
This may be irrelevant; but I've had this happen to me on my GNexus. I solved it by going back to stock and it just fixed itself overnight.....
my HTC One X did the same after about 2 weeks. Gave it back to supplier, waiting my replacement.
Even tested with a different SIM card, did a hard reset. Problem stayed the same.
Im curious did any of you find a resolution to this? it happened to me a while ago but yet to fing a solution. HTC refuse to fix under warranty because it is unlocked.. i am currently waiting for the next official update to see if that fixes anything but the way things are looking that could be a while..

It sounds like a fault, probably the radio chip has just stopped working, no software is going to repair that. If it was a software problem, there would be hundreds or thousands of people all having the same issue.

Hi everybody
I recently purchased a galaxy s2 Tmob but I have network issues
When I insert my SIMPLE MOBILE sim card, everything's fine, I can do phone calls, send sms and go online with data (but internet is slow), after few minutes the internet connection becomes very slow and then drops; followed by the network (the phone doesn't find network anymore)
The network comes back only if I restart the phone and it goes again
When I got the phone it was android 4.0.4
I tried to update with Samsung Kies, but a problem occured and I used "Kies recovery mode" to do the update
Finally the phone was successfully updated to android 4.1.2 but still the same problem. I did a factory reset+data deleting through settings and I still have the network issue
After some researches on the forum, I saw terms like "stock rom" and "radio" always mentionned where people had others network issues but I don't understand all that
Does somebody know how to fix it?
Thank u
hi
I found something to do about that
I saw on certain posts people saying that network problem can be fixed by flashing last radio version
so, that's what I did and by the way I rooted the device to flash SGH-T989_UVMC6_radio.zip
The problem seems to be solved but I'll wait to see if the network won't disappear again
Again, network is gone after 30 mn
pls someone can tell me what to do to solve this problem?
Where did you buy your phone? It sounds like it has a bad radio.
I used craigslist
when I bought it, I tested it with my sim card, there was no problem
U mean by bad radio an hardware problem?
hello, does someone have a tip for me to get my problem solved?
I bought my LG F20K in May and I was very happy with it since.
Worked as a charm and didn’t have any problems with it. Till last Tuesday.
I came back from holiday and unfortunately Wi-Fi in my phone stopped working.
No any symptoms or signs of problem before, just it didn’t connect once with Bluetooth in my car, that’s all.
After return home, any attempt of switching on Wi-Fi made phone frozen and warm back, sometimes it restarted itself but it didn’t see any Wi-Fi network. When I tried switch on Wi-Fi with Bluetooth together phone got completely frozen but Bluetooth itself works fine.
First I decided to restore factory settings. So I did. It didn’t help. After research on internet I decided to do it again ( factory settings) but by LG Mobile support Tool on computer .Unfortunately it didn’t help too … I wrote to seller who I bought phone from and He agreed to take phone from me and repair it . But He is in Korea and before I send it I try last attempt on this forum.
And now the most funny thing.
Yesterday evening I left phone with charger on for all night and today morning with cable charger still on I checked if maybe something changed regarding Wi-Fi (you know… I got habit to check it every few hours with stupid hope it will repair itself …) and it did! Phone discovered Wi-Fi network and after about 10 minutes of attempts connected to it!!! . However – Connection was very unstable and I had to manually connect it many times tostay connected. My happiness didn’t last long . After about 4 hours phone lost any interest to connect with Wi-Fi or even to see it …Now I hope it is just software bug and I could repair it somehow.
Any ideas about it? Did somebody tackle with similar problem? Maybe if I rooted phone it would help?
Software version in my phone is F240K10r .
