I am getting a com.android.phone stopped unexpectedly error every two seconds. I press Force Close and it pops back up. I've wiped twice now and it helps for about 10 minutes, then the loop starts again. This happened with Skype and Handcent as well, but I just uninstalled those.
I'm using CM7.
I have been having the same issue. It happened in RC1, nightly #5 and #6. So far the only thing i have been able to find is that Titanium may be causing it. Im gunna try and reflash and just not restore any thing. Are you using titanium?
I have the same issue. I have tried to wiped(cache, Dalvik, and factory), and reflashed the ROM and still get the error. I have tried to fix permissions. Did not work. Reflash all the radios and that did not work. I have wipe all data and wipe SD and reflash a re-download CM7 and gapps and still did not work. So I started a CM7 bug tracker. The bug issue number is 3502. The HTC incredible with CM7 is having the same issue. I hope this helps.
I have the same issue. It started when I flashed 7.0.2.1. Since then I've tried flashing back to 7.0.2 and still had the same problem. Tried the latest nightly too. The phone works great until I reboot it a few times then it starts to crash as soon as I unlock it. I know that it's going to crash com.android.phone before even unlocking it because when it does boot up it powers up with airplane mode on and there is no signal. This sucks because I was really liking CM7. I'm back on good old Myn'sRLS5 now with no problems. I hope this issue if fixed soon. I'm missing the speed and customizations of CM7.

Wow, I've been looking everywhere for an answer to my force close loop with the radio. The version of MIUI I have on my fascinate has a 2G/3G toggle and when setting it the entry 3g preferred, it sets the database entry preferred_network_mode to 0. The fascinate uses a CDMA based radio so I would get a force close constantly on that mode. Looking at the different possible modes from this list:
0: WCDMA preferred
1: GSM only
2: WCDMA only
3: GSM auto (PRL)
4: CDMA auto (PRL)
5: EvDo only
6: GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)
7: Unknown
I was able to figure out the right mode for my radio (Verizon CDMA). Thanks a lot for pointing this out! Would be nice to recompile this rom with my own customized entries for the widget. Also never knew there existed a small app that can modify database records, so this is a lovely addition to my root app arsenal .

I had the speed fix instaled but i did a factory reset to to clear up space and just instaled the thing I really use and now i cant unlock the HSUPA feature in advance network any sugestions
hmmm...well id say uninstall the cab. soft reset to make sure its cleared out. then if i remember correct, install the data fix cab again. dont restart right then when it asks. cancel it. then go to start menu. settings. advanced connections. then make sure to select the one that says HSPDA/HSUPA enabled. meaning both are enabled. after u do that, then soft reset it. once your phone boots back up, you should see the big H symbol next to your 3g one or whatever one you have. It worked like a charm for me. no problems. the H stays enabled on mines. Just make sure to do it exactly like that or its not probaly registering right or something or saving the changes. hope this helps you. let us know. i have the data fix, sd card tune up, no push internet, and dynamic proxy cabs installed. along with all bloatware deleted from phone. So my phone is wayyyyyy faster and smoother than b4. also added a ton more free ram available on startup, idle, and normal/heavy use. i also got drivers but going off subject..lol good luck
What is the latest version i've dowloaded jh2001's tilt2 data speed fix 1.0
when I open to install it says it is unsuccesfull
hmm..i just checked..i have the same version as you, the 1.0. you just have to make sure to install it in those steps i listed in previous post. Unless u have some custom rom or something and its not registering right. ok quick version. make sure its uninstalled. we starting over..lol Then install it directly to your device memory if the option comes up to do so. Then itll probaly say that u need to soft reset for changes to take effect. press cancel. you dont want to soft reset yet. then go to start menu, then settings, then advanced. You should see that it changed up from b4. You need to select the one that has both hspda/hsupa. make sure its selected. then go back out to main or home screen and soft reset. once your phone boots back up, you should see the H SYMBOl up top of your phone. you can also go to to your settings again . and go to advanced and make sure that it says hspda/hsupa. dont change anything else in there unless you know what you doing. might change something up. it should work wit no probs though. let me know if that still didnt work. theres nothing wrong with the cab. or just download it again, meaning a new one, and do those steps listed. enjoy your weekend.
Well Ive tried uninstalling previous installation but it doesn't show on the programs list and Ive followed the instructions given above but I still getting error installing the ceab I had it installed before and it worked!!
How do I erase the phone to factory settings other than cleaning storage?

Clearing Storage will reset your phone to the factory (default) settings of your current ROM. Is an error message appearing when you try to install or is nothing happening?
I did went and clean the storage but When I try to install the cab it instantly says
"Installation of jh2001 tilt2 data speed kix 1.0 cab was`unsuccessful"
i really don't understand as i mentioned before it was working fine two week ago
Well just did a hard reset an erase the storage but still can't reinstall the speed fix!
Is there any other way or another cab to install?
Anybody reporting the same problem?
ok, you don't need the speed fix for HSPDA/HSUPA support. Download and install Julian Schapps advanced configuration program, you will also need to download and install .net ver 3.5 (get it from microsoft). Install and soft reset. Start adv config, scroll down to data connections and enable HSUPA support, soft reset. Then open settings, advanced network settings and then scroll to enable hspda/hsupa and you are all set. you will be getting around 2.2-2.8 MB/sec download speeds. This works well and you will see the H on your top line of the home screen. You do not need the speed fix, you can install it, but after these first two steps.

quiquerc, you can do what ms0529 just suggested, it should get you the HSUPA options and the related speed improvement by following those steps. However, each time you clear your memory like that (aka "hard reset"), you also wipe out some critical elements that have to be added to any new fresh ROM, like .net 3.5...so, you'll have to reinstall that anytime you wipe the phone, before many programs (like this cab) will install or work properly.
So, install .net 3.5 again real quick (see below), and you should be able to install and use the cab after that...however I DO highly recommend the advanced config app anyway, so you should try that out even if you don't use it to help you out with this (in fact, I've even attached the cab here for you as well )
Ive install net 3.5 directly from microsoft and the advance configuration tool
and was able to enable hspda But when I go to the advance network connection it doesn't gives me the option to enable it like the speed fix did.
I'm going to redo all the instructions above maybe I'm missing something.
Ive instaled the config tool and its worling fine now.

I was able to install CM11. Flashed cm11 on 12/7 and everything has been working great. I was able to update everything. On next morning, wifi signal was there but no access to internet. Wifi is on but it picks up no wifi signals. If I turn on/ off wifi doesn't find anything else. And receive WPS has failed error... if I click in refresh.
I have already daily upgrade nightly builds to up to date build (20131217), but success. same issue. Any idea?
If I do a full wipe and then restore a backup it work for a day, then stops again.
I have the same problem. I dropped the phone on the wooden floor, and thought the wifi just broke, but now I'm confident it's because of bugs in cm11
Considering returning to cm10.3

Fixed my network problem by removing ad-hoc network
Hey,
I had a problem when I tried to connect to an ad-hoc network I'd setup. The network settings screen would freeze up on me and then..... nothing. I checked the database settings by adb'ing onto my phone (a rooted oppo find 5 by the way). I checked the values of the settings database as described by others. That didn't work so then went to the file containing connection details of known wifi networks
Code:
sudo ./adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ su
1|[email protected]:/ # cd /data/misc/
[email protected]:/data/misc/wifi # ll
First I start a shell on my phone (sudo ./adb shell), then I change from a regular user into the superuser (su) then I go to the directory containing the wifi connection info.
There I opened the file wpa_supplicant.conf and removed the ad-hoc connection that caused my problems. I've also read about people simply removing the file. Downside of that is that you will loose your painstakingly acquired history of known passwords (but I guess in the end that is still better then not having a wifi connection at all....)
Hope this helps somebody
Cheers!

Download SQlite debugger from Play Store or on your PC then transfer the apk to your phone and install Open the app, then press 'App' and scroll down to 'Setting Storage', then 'setttings.db', then 'global', then 'name', now scroll down to 'wifi_display_on' and edit the value to 0, make sure you commit this change by pressing the arrow icon in the top right and accepting. Now reboot and turn on your WIFI!

I have been running CM 11 Nightly builds, and everything has been working out pretty good, until just a day or so ago.
Now suddenly I find that I never get a data connection (3G, etc) - works fine on Wi-Fi of course though.
Using the FC09 multiboot, I am able to prove that it is not an issue with my phone hardware or my Sprint account.
FC09 has data connection and everything is cool, until I reboot into latest CM 11 (right now = cm-11-20140305-NIGHTLY).
(Since I don't have enough posts yet to ask this in the development thread, I thought I'd try here and see if I had any luck.)
In trying to research this, I see some talk of "APN settings" - but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to access those settings to change them
(Some advice said to speak "Open APN" into the voice dialer? But that is not doing anything for me...)
I guess I am also curious if this is happening to anyone else using CM 11 Nightly builds?
Again, the data connection works when I "multiboot" FC09, but cannot get it to work on latest CM 11 Nightly.
Any help or suggestions on things to check/tweak are highly appreciated - thank you in advance.
Yap... that append to me also, i'm on a GT-I9000 with the same NIGHTLY version. That must be a rom problem, because with the previous version, worked ok.
Getting closer to a solution (?)
Same problem (currently running cm-11-20140306-NIGHTLY)
I did finally figure out how to acces the "Open APNs" screen.
My mistake was trying to say "Open APN" from the regular phone dialer, which just threw the voice command to Google.
Then it suddenly clicked - they meant the separate application that is named "Voice Dialer".
(thought I would post that in case it saves anybody else some headache)
So then I found this buzzmobile link that lists "Sprint APN Settings for Android (US)"
http://buzzmobile.us/sprint-apn-settings-android-us/
I thought I was just about to get this all taken care of... BUT, now here is the problem:
No matter how many times I have tried to enter and re-enter the APN settings, they are not being saved.
I don't know if anyone has any experience with this issue, but if you have any advice, I am all ears - thank you.

Boot into the temporary FC09 installation and try the "##DATA#" dialer code. If thats not the right code then its gotta be another one that allows you to access these settings. You may also need your MSL.
My journey
OK, so I'm back in business again, and thought I would share...
1) Booted into the "multiboot" FC09 and installed 'APN Backup & Restore' app
2) Made a backup .xml file from there
3) Rebooted back into CM11
4) Installed 'APN Backup & Restore' app - BUT - could not restore the APN .xml file yet - special steps needed to get this to work with KitKat
5) Installed 'ES File Explorer File Manager' app
6) Followed instructions in this article to change 'APN Backup & Restore' to a system app:
How To Install Any App As A System App On Android [Guide]
NOTE FOR KITKAT: where it says to move the app to /system/app, you actually have to move it to /system/priv-app
7) After following that, I opened up 'APN Backup & Restore' app, but I was confused that it still said "Unfortunately APNs cannot be restored or deleted on this device because Android 4.0+ does not allow 3rd party apps to Write APN Settings."
8) Then I realized that I still needed to go into the settings of the app and click 'Disable ICS Check'
9) Then the app was recognized as a system app and I could do a restore from my .xml file
[EDIT: attaching a .zip of the .xml file that I snagged from booting into FC09]
I've been working on a fix since a long time now. If you are in SD community then you prolly know me. Anyway I was able to fix this on two of my phones and it's now working fine. I tested for 12 hours now. I'll also tell you in the end what problems I'm seeing. I'm also working on a fix for that.
I noticed that a service is started when the fallback happens but if I kill that service the network also dies. But if you follow the below method it safely starts a new service which kills the one that's responsible for killing the 4G/LTE
1. Upgrade your phone to 13B firmware
2. Root 13B
3. Now download Shortcut Master lite app from play store.
4. Now add these shortcuts to your favorites in the "Shortcut Master lite app". You can search for "LTE" and click on search button
LTEBandSelection
LTETestMain
LTE System Selection
CDMAPreference
5. Now click on "LTEBandSelection" and enable all the bands
6. Save and reboot
7. You now need to enable your data and turn off your wifi. Make sure your phone is in Global mode (in settings >> Mobile networks >> System select)
8. After your phone is rebooted open "Shortcut Master lite" app.
9. Now tap on LTETestMain
10. Select Click on CDMA preference.
Now choose Band preference and select "any"
P_REV_Preference ---> "MOB_P_REV 3
This is important.. EVDO Revision --> Rev A
11. "LTE Connect w/o IMS PDN" must be checked
12. Now go back to your main menu in shortcut master lit app
13. This step is very important. Changing the timeout is important. Tap on LTE System Selection
Except "Scan duration" add a couple zeros to all the other timers. For eg: T_mpsr timer (Min) is 200
The fallback timer will reset itself after reboot. But don't worry the configuration is already updated with the new value. For some reasons the shortcut master lite app is not picking it up.
14. Now finally click on "CDMA preference" in the main menu and make sure it has the value you set in Step 10
At step 10 or 13 your network should go away and your phone should complain about "no network". That's fine. just ignore the message.
Now finally reboot your phone. That's it. You should now have 4G LTE and it won't fallback to 3G or H+
The only problem is when I'm on a call my 4G LTE is dropped to 3G/H+. But after I hang up it goes back to 4G LTE after 12 seconds. I don't know if it's an expected behavior. But I'm trying to see if there is a fix for that.
I tested this with Tmobile. Make sure your APN settings are correct.
Thanks @motorhead_biker., you rock!!!
I am on rooted 11a, flashing stock back and then will go to 13b to try this out. Was waiting for this.....
Isn't this thread a duplicate of http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g4/general/guide-fix-vs986-dropping-to-3g-h-4g-lte-t3272434? Can they be consolidated?

Hi!
I've made a post in the Asus forum, with no luck and I found this page where you seem more technical :
Two days ago I downloaded the Android MM 6.0 update from the Asus Homepage downloading the version WW-4.21.40.144 , since I live in Brazil and the phone was bought here. I followed all the steps one by one till it got updated.
The problem is, since then my GPS is not working (Waze, Googlemaps ans several apps).
I tryed:
1. Giving all permissions of location to the apps
2. Puting the settings in High Accuracy
3. Restarting the phone several times.
4. Switch on and off Airplane mode and 2G 3G ands 4G (I read sometimes its interference from that)
5. Waiting almost an hour with the phone outside (sunny day) to see if it detects the satellites.
6. Every app inthe appstore that promise GPS Fixing (reseting, A-GPS and all kind of tests. Funny thing, the sensor IS working acording to those apps.
7. Factory Reset
8. Factory Reset and Erase Cache from the bootmenu. (as indicated in the Asus Forum)
9. Downgraded to Lolipop again. WW-52.20.40.196
10. Again every app to reset the GPS.
Nothing worked.
To my surprise, now I have Lolipop and no GPS. So back to basics but, worst.
The Asus forum told me to Update to the latest version, which I did:
1. Updated my phone with the latest MM version. 4.21.40.223.
2. Put the location options in "High Accuracy" and permissions needed for the apps.
3. As the old software was installed after that, I tried Waze. No GPS Signal was found.
4. Did a factory reset.
5. Put the location options in "High Accuracy" and permissions needed for the apps
6. Installed the apps GPS Toolbox and Waze again, the both can't find a GPS signal. I left the phone outside for 10 minutes.
7. Tried to install the version UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.198-user by bootloader, but it says it cannot update to an older version, which sounds about right. (I had to try)
What else can I do? I don't mind going back to Lolipop, but when I did GPS didn't work.
Is there any chance the new Update wrote something apart from software in the chipset that cannot be undone?
Help please, I really need the GPS!
Phone not rooted.
Thanks!
Juan
After long hours of searching, reading and trying I got it fix. How?
0. Have a full charged battery or have your phone plugged to the wall (except for the USB stuff on step number 2, obviously)
0.1. Make backups of all the info in the phone, because everything is going to be erased.
1. Download the version WW-52.20.40.196 from Asus website.(unless you need the other like CN, JK, etc, see Asus site to be sure)
2. Copy it to the internal storage of your phone in the root of it (not in any folder), via USB.
3. Get to the boot loader (Turn off phone and once is off, push the power button with the Up volume one until it vibrates 2 times. Release only the power button until the menu appears) - Search the forum for more details.
4. Select "Recovery Boot" with the volume buttons and press the power button to confirm.
The next steps are all in the Recovery Menu (once it finishes every step it goes back to the original menu, no alerts, sounds or nothing. So check every now and then)
5. Make a Wipe/factory reset, and wait, it takes some time. (use the volume buttons and press the power button to confirm)
6. Make a Wipe of the cache. (use the volume buttons and press the power button to confirm)
7. Install update from Internal storage selecting the name of file you copied on step number 2 (use the volume buttons and press the power button to confirm). It will take a while.
8. Reboot the system (use the volume buttons and press the power button to confirm)
It will restart with the phone in the Lolipop version and the GPS working fine. Even after the Lolipop updates.
Marshmallow update has a bug, that at least with my phone the GPS doesn't work. Tried reinstalling marshmallow latest version after the GPS got fix, just to prove the point, and in fact, it stopped working again.
Then I did all the steps above again and went back to normal again.
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND NOT TO UPDATE TO MARSHMALLOW WITH THE ACTUAL FIRMWARE VERSIONS AVAILABLE.
I also had this problem with Marshmallow ROM, as the GPS is not working in terms of unable to locate any signal from satellites.
However, I also solved the problem with a method sounds very silly.
I turn on my GPS overnight using an application called GPS Status.
The night I turn it on, it was locating 0 satellite (it will write 0/0 SAT). However in the morning, I found that the GPS is now working, locking on 8 out of 24 discovered satellite (it wrote 8/24 SAT).
Now my GPS is working seamlessly.
Thanks! I will try it next weekend. I need my phone this week. Hahaha
I ll post when I do so.
Do you know other similar cases of people who did that and worked?
The thing is, now I have Lollipop again an I noticed how slow the system is running with applications. I d love to have the update, but not sacrificing the GPS
I decided I won't make the test because it doesn't justify the risk and time.
I'll wait for a newer update or just stay with Lollipop.
Just to let you guys know in case someone was waiting for this
I downloaded GPS Status as suggested by SleepingAran and ran it once. Now my Waze is working seamlessly. Thanks!
There's another simple solution that works:
Follow exact steps:
1. Turn on location and set high accuracy mode
2. Open google maps
3. Move your phone several times in the shape of 8 (8-10 times should be enough)
4. Close google maps and clear it from recents screen
5. Start google maps again. Profit
