[Q] Evo CM7 won't call, won't do data (after several days of working)

I recently rooted my Evo and put CM7 nightly 12 on it. All was well, I even installed the Savaged Zen kernel. Even better. Just yesterday I updated to CM7 RC2 to give it a shot. Today I went to work and had to drive to a remote area where I don't get service, so I put my Evo in airplane mode to save battery life. (this was after having it overheat while charging, could be a hardware issue) At the end of the day I turned the 3G radio back on and nothing... It connects and disconnects to the tower. It will not send data and it will not place phone calls on the 3G connection (WiFi works). I did a restore back to nightly 12 to see if maybe it was a problem with the OS. Nothing. A few hours ago it began functioning again, but after checking it a few minutes ago I have discovered it is back to no connection. (the signal bars bounce between nothing and full, but never shows the X for no signal) Has anyone else had an issue like this? Should I restore back to sense and unroot to take advantage of my warranty? If this has already been posted before please direct me to the right thread.

I'm having the same problem. I installed Cyanogen RC 2 and had no problem since it came out. I went on vacation to a beach, and during my trip I switched it on to airplane mode since I was in a remote location. After turning it back on, I noticed I can't get the Data Connection to work. The 3g bar doesn't even show up, and after messing with the settings trying to fix the problem I managed to do nothing. I tried using a backup I made from a week past, and encountered the same problem. Then I flashed the newest nightly and still no Data whatsoever. Wifi works fine, and 4g is acting weird but I got it to work a few times. Does this have something to do with sprint?

I think it is the same as the 4G 3G hang. I typically get it while tethering and the phone is normaly quite warm.

So I managed to fix the problem. I ended up flashing Koni's Elite Rom

I got an error that said "Error 67 registration failure"
I updated my profile and it was automatically fixed. I'm not aware you can do this on cyanogen stock rom, but I think you can dial a number that will do this for you.
After getting the 3g to work again, I flashed back to the stock cyanogen, and it is still working. So for now im good to go.

I do think is sprint and not the rom because I did a restore to warm z and was still having the same problems. Also my brother's evo was doing the same thing and he doesnt have cm7 on it.

I figured it was something to do with the profile... I restored all the way back to sense and attempted to update profile, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I will try that ROM and see if it does anything. Why can't they just make this easy and allow updating of vital software that allows the radios to work on WiFi or from SDcard? This is dumb.

I tried that ROM and nothing works. Not really sure what to do. I might have to restore to Sense and unroot to take it back... I really want to avoid that if at all possible.

Unrooted my phone and getting a free replacement from Sprint. Still unsure of the problem, seems to work randomly.

I also have the same problem. No 3g data, gps, and 4g is acting weird.
I also had the same registration error number 67. My question is, how do you update your profile?

[Q] GPS Problem with HTC Phones in Upstate NY?

There seems to be a problem where some HTC phones in upstate New York are reporting their location to be Gazost, France. I'm experiencing it on my phone (details in sig) and my girlfriend is having the same problem on her stock/unrooted incredible (both in Syracuse). I googled it and it looks like a few people on Yahoo Answers are having the same problem http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110818161956AA9gHNS
Has anyone else heard of this? or have any ideas on what to do about it?

I am having the same problem -- HTC Incredible, Upstate NY. I just talked to a Verizon tech support rep who said that they are getting calls about this issue. They stated that it is something wrong with the Android OS for certain phone manufacturers and that they (Verizon) contacted Google and Google is "looking into it". To monitor other people's discussions, here are a few other posts I've bookmarked:

I am having the same problem in the Albany, NY area.
The sad part is I thought I screwed up the next release of my 3.0 ROM with the latest kernel or something until I found a thread about this on one of the sites linked above. I even went back to prior versions and even the stock November OTA.
The part that bugs me the most is I spent hours wasting my time trying to fix it

Yeah this is a real pain in the butt. I spent hours re-flashing to different roms I new worked before. I tried pure shooter which I freakin love but thought it had GPS problems, turns out its Verizon. I hope this gets resolved soon. I called them yesterday so we'll have to see.

This fix worked for me.
download "GPS test" app; put your phone in airplane mode; make sure wifi is off, go into gps test, go to menu-> settings - hit clear AGPS a couple times, wait a few minutes, hit update AGPS a couple times, wait; i then went into navigation with wifi off let it sit for awhile; backed out turned on wifi and went back into nav and it worked. Went into GPS test and it picked up my long&lat as well as a few GPS sat's.turned off airplane mode went into nav again and it still worked.

Thanks for the help... I found this fix and it worked for me: http://phandroid.com/2011/08/22/ver...-weve-got-a-temporary-fix-for-you-forum-talk/
It seems to be pretty much what you did except a little simpler (no waiting, no doing things "a couple times," and no "update AGPS")

here's hoping that the twitter hashtag #upstateNYVerizonHTCGPSpocolypse catches on. Ha

I cant get either one to work.

Some Motorola users on Verizon were having issues with this as well (have a friend with a Droid and another with Droid 2). According to some other forums, the issue seems to be resolved as of yesterday evening/this morning. My friend with the Droid has her GPS working again (confirmed 15min ago). Haven't heard back from the Droid 2 user yet.

Phone lost connectivity.....is it hardware?

So my phone lost connectivity yesterday around 5pm. I though nothing of it at first, but then a few hours later it still was not able to connect to any mobile networks. I am unable to call, text or do anything with data for that matter. I tried the sim in my old trusty G1 and everything worked.
I called tech suppport and they refreshed my sim. I went through all of there troubleshooting non sense. The verdict? Warranty exchange...but wait....they are out of stock and have no estimated time of when they will be available.
Has anyone else heard of a phone suddenly losing all ability to get on a mobile network? I have been on the internet researching the issue for hours now and have tried everything I have come across, but no luck.
1. Left the battery and sim out of the phone overnight
2. Numerous airplane mode toggles
3. Connecting headphones
4. Phone Info menu and turning radio off/on + trying different radio settings
5. Reflashing radios
6. Flashing different roms
7. Odin back to stock 2.3.6 with wiping of everything
I am thinking I have been defeated by the galaxy s2.

Its scary how often this has happening...your probably the 5th person on xda who had this happen to them that i saw...Your efs folder probably got corrupt somehow and there is now way to restore that. You're going to need a get a warranty replacement...

I have read about that happening before, just don't know why it would have happened out of nowhere. Chalking it up as stuff happens.

I bet you were fiddling around with radios huh? I messed around flashing alternate radios to mine and my girl's phone and her phone was having this issue. Nothing would fix it, good thing I created a nandroid backup because all issues were fixed after I flashed back.

No...I wasnt doing anything to the phone. I had been running the same rom for about two weeks and was enjoying the luxury of amazing battery life.
While I was browsing the net on my phone, it lost signal...since then it hasn't returned.
I did do a warranty exchange so hopefully I will have a working device soon.
If anyone is feeling that their Galaxy S2 is slow, then just use a g1 for a day

Wifi problems

hi
since yesterday i'm having problems with my wifi connection, every time i turn on the wifi on the phone he checks for connections and for 1 second he can see my wireless network but then i can't connect to them, i tried connect to other networks but the same thing happens, i tried another rom (i'm using miui 2.3 and tried cm9)and the problem continues.
sometimes i can successfully connect to my network but in 5 minutes the connection is lost again.

I had this same thing happen on my phone a little more than a year ago. I tried everything but it didn't fix anything. I had to send it in and get a replacement.

if i change the radio would this do anything?

have you tried a full wipe. I've got this problem at the moment.
I figure either a full wipe will fix it. I can't do this at the moment because there are too many numbers in the phone
Or
The wireless antenna got disconnected when my gf dropped it

i already did a full wipe and installed another rom
the only thing i didn't tried was another radio

Wifi error?

To start off, this happened maybe a month ago. I was on my phone just listening to pandora and for some reason the WiFi shut off. I tried going turning it back on but it got stuck on "Turning Wifi On". I was on EliteMod ICS. I thought maybe it was just an app or something, so I superwiped my phone to start all over again and flashed a new rom. For some reason when I went to this new rom "CM10 Flinny" I honestly did all I could. I have tried every rom. I even took off root and s-off and started from a "New out of the box" state. And it still won't work. Could it be an error within the phone? Or does it have to deal with hardware? I don't if this helps but when i check out a logcat of the phone, it says like wpa_supplicant not found and the javastate or w.e it is can not be started. I never play with the wifi too, barely use it and it just happened out of nowhere which is leaving me confused.
And also if it does have to be with hardware. Can anyone tell me where to get the tools to open up the phone? And the certain items I need to get it working again. I'm already ordering another part since my phone's home keys don't work either. Weird that many problems came up all at once.

Similar problem here except my WiFi stopped working on mimcry 1.5 I also get the WiFi error cannot connect to suplicant
