[Q] No 3G connection with Cyanogen CM7 Gingerbread

This question should probably be in the thread for the rom.
The 3G connection is not working with Cyanogen CM7 build 32.
It was working with leedroid 2,3d.
Anybody got a clue?

Too bad that i need 10 posts before i can ask that question in the developer thread and report bugs.

I just flashed the latest radio without any better results.

This thread is correct to stay HERE..NOT in dev section, thats why the 10 posts rule
U should open a thread in dev section only if You developed something..
About the 3g connection, it works fine on my phone on latest cm7...maybe poor connection in ur location, i dont know

That was not an alternative. But i received a bootloop on the phone after installing a theme. Full wipe and clean cache + dalvik.
Then it works!

It´s working now after a clean of dalvik cache and manually set APN under network settings.

Doesn't Cyanogen have it's own forums? Surely you'd be better off there?

I was not able to make posts in that thread before 10 posts on the forum.

Same issue.
I am having the same issue. What do you mean by "manually set APN under network settings."?
Thank you.

Some APN settings from CM7 are not correct. You might need to manually enter these settings. You can usually find your carrier's APN settings either on their website or by calling them.
In CM7 go to settings, wireless & networks, mobile networks, then Access Point Names. You must delete anything listed by clicking on each one individually then clicking menu and choosing delete. Then you can add your settings by clicking menu then add on the main access point names screen.
Hope that helps!

APN
I added the apn manually and it fixed the issue for me. I had the same problem on leedroid btw.
Thanks.

I'm having the same issue, I was going to try and clear the settings but in my ver. of GB I have nothing to clear, it list, "Data enabled" "International data Roaming" National data roaming" and "System select, Home, Affiliated, auto"
The first three are check boxes only, nothing else, is there another way to reset?
Thx

I also had 3g problem with defy and cm7, Fixed
I found an app in the app drawer called baseband switcher. I simply had to open the app, set it to US Tmobile and reboot. I set the default apn to tmobile and now I have 3g/hspa.
Of course I didn't notice this baseband switcher app until after I wiped the phone twice trying to fix this issue
I hope I can save someone else the time and hassle of reloads and reboots and apn renames.

[Q] Cellular network download issue

Here's the problem.
I installed many roms and kernels on my gnex since i bought it. Lately i came across a strange problem. If i install codename android, gummynex or foxhound with any kernel or radio i'm unable to download over cellular network. If i install android revolution hd or cyanogenmod 9 nightly its work even if i change the kernel or radio ??
Now when i say it doesnt download...my signals bar are max out on hspa+ but it aint blue, its gray. Usually when there is activity an arrows appears to show it. In my case case i only see the up arrow. I also when look under the *#*#4636#*#* menu and i data being uploaded but download is a 0. Ping test didnt work. Signal strength is around -85db. Preferred network is set to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL). I also tried to change it to GSM auto (PRL) and GSM only without success. I played with airplane mode. I tried turning on and off cellular data. Nothing works.
For now I'm on CyanogenMod 9 Nightly Build with Franco Kernel 16.2 and Gaaps 4.0.4 with XXKL1 radio. I have a Bell GSM Galaxy Nexus and my carrier is Rogers.
Does anyone have an idea of to fix it ?
P.S. I tried to wipe data/cache + dalvik + system.

I'd check your APN settings - sounds like some ROMs have the right ones, while the others may not.
Settings --. More --> Mobile networks --> Access Point Names
You can google around for the correct APN settings for Rogers. Here's the first hit I found: http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/...gers-wireless-apn-settings-data-mms-here.html

Thx a lot ! It worked ! Thx for your quick reply : )

Thnx since the OP didnt.

Bumping this.
This is my exact issue on T-mo USA. On nearly all radios, that is if I get a signal at all. Upload only no download. I've tried AOKP, Rooted deodexed icl53f, Slim, Liquid. Problem persists. What really chaps my ass is that it came with xxkk6 and now that one has no signal bars at all......
At least I can still make calls and send messages with no download radios.

your APN settings are wrong. read the how in this thread

I have apn set to these settings:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21630221&postcount=1
Which are the same ones generated by using the "Reset to default" option. And what are listed in numerous other sources.

It sounds more like a firmware or hardware issue than an APN problem to me. You've said you tried a few different radio firmwares - have you tried UGLA4? I've had really nice results on T-Mobile US with that.
I'd try loading up the factory image with UGLA4 and see if that works for you. If that still doesn't play nice, you may need to look into getting a replacement.

Thanks for the info. Is there by chance an odin flashable for the GSM icl53f? I keep only returning hits for the CDMA version.

Not for ODIN, but you can get the official Google factory image here: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/yakju-icl53f-factory-89fccaac.tgz
You can extract it and flash the "image-yakju-icl53f.zip" file in fastboot:
Code:
> fastboot flash update -w image-yakju-icl53f.zip

I was able to restore but on xxkk6 I have no signal to speak of. Will have to go the Samsung route. The postal service has already lost one $350 dollar phone this month. So I'm very hesitant to be honest.

Impossible to get network operator

I flashed CM10.1 on my S3 and had the same problem as others where data was intermittent. It worked for some time and after one nightly, I lost my IMEI. So I got back to stock, used the procedure with QPST and got back my IMEI. I got back to cm10.1 and unsurprisingly, I had a hard time having data. But worst off, I had a hard time having cell connection anymore, not even voice or sms. Tried AOKP without any luck. Tried different modems, not luck either. Now I went back to stock and still doesn't work. There's something that is not resetted between flash of ROM that keeps messing up my connection. I also found out that only one network provider is ever found, one is Rogers Wireless (I'm with Bell), or one is EXT. But never any other provider is ever found. And also in *#*#4636#*#* under phone info I can'T change the radio band like I can on the phone of my girlfriend.
So there it is. I'm stuck. I don't really want to buy another phone. It is a software issue for sure. But how can we solve that? Is there any way to restore the EFS to factory default? Could it be buried there? What is the ERI? Could it be that? My stock ROm says that it can't get the ERI version.
Any help is welcome.

my stock telus ERI is unavailable but i think thats normal... i have no problems
from what i understand imei and apn settings are the things to check into

IMEI and APN are good. IMEI will get me data, but I can't even get a cell connection now. No radio at all.

whats your radio band set to?
if i set mine to anything but automatic it wont find networks like yours..
*#*#4636#*#* dont work on my telus s3.
i use a different method
*#197328460# then
UMTS > Debug Screen > Phone control > Network Control > Band selection >
Automatic...
beware what you change in here as there is no return to default

Neither of the two works. *#*#4636#*#* was working with CM10/10.1 and AOKP. But not with stock. And the one you suggest after is not working either.
But I remember going ot *#*#4636#*#* before flashing stock rom and I wasn't able to selet any band. On my girlfriend's android phone (HTC) I can.

if it were me.. i would try reflashing stock again... after flashing stock do a factory reset thru recovery... seems to help for clean stock setup.
if still no network i would check that band selection is set to automatic.
maybe someone else with more experience would have a better idea.
you mentioned you changed your band selection and now cant change it back.
i dont think flashing stock changes this.
i think that might be your problem.
ifso you first need to fix phone to use *# code... i have no idea why its not working
it works on my stock telus 4.0.4 and 4.1.1
maybe bell blocks from using *#code?

if i were u i would first try your girls sim in your phone and vise versa and if no luck do the qpst instructions to regain LTE not imei .and if u still cant manually find network operator after that i would format both sd cards and odin back to stock rooted and do the imei injection again for the hell of it and the LTE fix ..and stay on stock rooted or 4.1.2 until u get this figured out cause 4.2 builds are gonna have more probs then 4.1...I know u are having cell connect probs and these instructions are for imei and data but it sounds like your out of options....i lost imei once and had to manually inject with qpst and my reception was one bar til i did the LTE fix and it worked awesome..one more thing is my phone will not select a radio band ever unless i manually select my network operator first or i have no sim card in phone..i have also had sim cards crap out for no apparent reason..good luck

Thanks for your answer. Really appreciated. I've flashed so much time that I don't see the point of doing it again. I also had, at some point, to inject my IMEI and it worked with QPST.
What I find really strange is that a stock reflash doesn't put everything back to when I bought the phone. Funny thing, after the flash, it knew what my Wi-Fi router password was! So obviously there are some part of the config that is not overwritten. Which I find odd.
I also started playing with the service menu and found a lot of settings for the radio band. No luck yet.

Your WiFi password could have been restored by google just like it puts your contact info back.
If you are doing a Odin to stock that should wipe it clean.

This thing is so strange. There's only one network that my phone can see now, and it is 302720. Bell is 302610. No other network is visible. And since I'm with Bell, then I can't connect to 302720. I'm in for emergency calls only. That's why I thought it may have to do with radio. But it seems Rogers (302720) and Bell use the same bands. A channel maybe? But this should be all automatic! It's a pretty stupid bug let me tell you!
Maybe a SIM card issue? That would be quite a coincidence that it happen exactly when I'm playing with ROMs...

Ah that's a good possibility. I didn't know it was saving passwords as well.
So if it wipes clean, how come this bug stays? There is obviously something that is not wiped and overwritten or else it would work.

How can one tell if someone losses their IMEI number? Unable to make phone calls? No 4g/ lte?

When you go to info about your phone, in status you usually have your IMEI number. It'll show 0 if it's corrupted. Or sometimes it's a generic IMEI dans is used when the real one is unknown. It's 049 something I think.
Without an IMEI number you can do phone call. But you'll never have a data connection.

[HELP] My phone constantly switches to CDMA and than has no signal

Hello I bought my phone off of ebay it was already flashed with tasks rom when I got it and the only problem I have which is very annoying is that it constantly switches from LTE/GSM/CDMA to CDMA only when I goto settings>more>mobile networks...Whenever there is no signal it is set to CDMA only I'm not sure what the problem is but its very frustrurating when I cant make calls when I need to...Is this a known problem? Will I have to revert back to stock?

Just checked although its named after the core one it has the LTE settings I've been using LTE fine

Even though the settings were the same I still made a new profile for LTE and its having the same problems Sometimes toggling airplane mode or restarting the phone seems to fix it
Again the problem is that the phone constantly loses signal and the mobile network setting says "CDMA only" if I change it back to LTE/GSM/CDMA sometimes the signal will come back

the fact that your gsm device has built in options for cdma and consistently tries switching to cdma (which is probably why you lose service) tells me something needs to change. on your i747m, what is your baseband version? also, what is your android/task650 release?

oh wow, so you literally just bought that on ebay. unfortunately, when buying a device thats already rooted and running a custom ROM, you dont know the procedures used when that ROM was installed. there's a wrong and right way to do it so as to have a smooth running phone with little or no complications. I would make a backup in recovery and then try a different modem or reflash the ROM and google apps (gapps) again. is the ROM and gapps files (.zips) still on the phone?

No Signal / No Network

Hello, I am new here but have intermediate experience with devices.
Alright time to throw everyone for a loop lol, hopefully someone can help me out.
Here is my problem:
My phone is not connected to a network.
Here is what I have:
Samsung Galaxy S III with Metro PCS (NOT rooted, and with latest PRL and software updates)
What happened:
I woke up yesterday to find my phone not on Metros network, and not on a partner network. My 4G still works though, I can access internet but just can not call/txt or receive either.
In Settings > About Device > Status, here are some of the satus'...
Network: Searching for Service
Signal Strength: -93dBm 47asu
Mobile Network Type: LTE:14
Service State: Out of Service
Roaming: Not Roaming
My Phone Number: Unknown
Min: Unknown
PRL Version: 0
Things I've Done So Far:
Contacted Metro through phone support and Facebook support, neither could help fix the problem.
Took my phone into a Metro store and they wont honor a repair since my screen has a hairline crack in the screen. (which I will also say, they noted that already on my account...)
I've already went to *#22745927 and enabled the hidden menu multiple times (cause it disables with each restart) and I've went to **772 to view my MDN and MSID (MIN) and the MDN shows nothing and MSID has a 10 digit number (that's not the right number for my account), so I tried to edit them to the numbers that I know are correct and after I hit done, the phone restarts but then when it comes back on, nothings changed, and when viewing **772 again, the numbers don't save in the fields.
I know *#197328640# lets you access the service menu, but I don't really feel like touching any of that and making things worse (unless someone knows how to fix this issue through the service menu then ill do it)
Now that my long winded speech is done, its your turn to try and solve this dilemma and help me out please
I hope this is the right section to post in, sorry if it is not.
Thanks in advance to any help ^^ if anyone's got any other questions, ill try to answer them best as I can.

With your Device not being Rooted, the options are limited. Also a bit more clarification. You say you have no Signal / Network. But yet you also state you have 4G, and can access the Internet. That is a bit contradictory. It sounds like you may need to have the Device Flashed to Metro again, as something may have gone wonky.

Try to dial *228 then call and see if it will go through an activation process of some kind. If it does, let it go through until successful then reboot your phone.

Dial code ##72786# is supposed to reactivate you phone. That might fix your problem. Alternatively, you can try writing a PRL that you know works with Metro.
You can dial ##DATA# and go to View. Some ROMs (even stock ROMs) have a "Write PRL" option. If your ROM does not have that, you can try the HiddenMenu.apk trick and see if that fixes it for you.
If PRL is 0, then it is not scanning for sites. LTE is handled by a different function, not PRL. Voice/Text rely on PRL to function. Hopefully the PRL fix helps you.
I have attached hiddenmenu.apk that has PRL Write enabler. Just download and install as normal app. If it does not work and breaks your dialer, simply reboot. The HiddenMenu is only temporary until you reboot, it reverts back to hiddenmenu under /system.

Yea I'm not totally sure why I can access 4G data but not the network.
I brought my phone into a Corporate Metro store and they told me it might be a faulty CDMA antenna but I don't think an antenna issue would put my PRL to 0 and not show my phone number or MIN.

If PRL is 0, then it is not scanning for sites. LTE is handled by a different function, not PRL. Voice/Text rely on PRL to function. Hopefully the PRL fix helps you.
I have attached hiddenmenu.apk that has PRL Write enabler. Just download and install as normal app. If it does not work and breaks your dialer, simply reboot. The HiddenMenu is only temporary until you reboot, it reverts back to hiddenmenu under /system.

Yea I'm not totally sure why I can access 4G data but not the network.
I brought my phone into a Corporate Metro store and they told me it might be a faulty CDMA antenna but I don't think an antenna issue would put my PRL to 0 and not show my phone number or MIN.

A CDMA Antenna being loose would not cause the Device to wipe data.

That's very odd. Have you tried it with WiFi on ?

I tried to use the dialer with Wifi on, with 4G Data on. Even tried to use Metros "Joyn" service which lets you make calls and texts over data connection but the issue is, I did a factory reset already and by doing that it wiped the Joyn data from my phone. Now when I go to start "Joyn" up, it says it needs to be able to connect to Metros Network for the first time set-up so I cant do that since I cant connect to the mobile network (CDMA).
I still need to try what Ascertion said.

Downloaded that file and there is no .apk file in it, so there is nothing to install...

Yea I went there, I asked how to install it since I don't see a .apk file anywhere and they said the APK is the download.
Usually you can download a file with the extension .apk then install it from your phone easily but since there is no file in that download with the file extension ".apk" then I don't see how I can install...

Quick update:
Got that download to change to .APK by simply renaming the file extension.
But after I loaded it to my phone and tried running it, it greeted me with an "Application Not Installed" message.
