[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.

LTE/CDMA 3G/4G Setting Stuck on WCDMA Preffered

Using the dialer code *#*#4636#*#* I have changed the setting from "LTE/GSM/WCDMA" to "WCDMA Preffered". I did this to see the difference in battery life being connected to HSPA+ & 3G compared to LTE which I was connected to before.
The Problem is the setting is stuck on "WCDMA Preffered". No matter what I do, when I select something with LTE in it if I exit the test menu and go back in with the dialer code it is back on "WCDMA Preffered".
Things I have tried:
1. Re-Flash ROM
2. Flash a different ROM
3. Re-Flash the Modem I747MVLLE8
4. About every possible combination of turning on/off the radio and disabling data connection and rebooting
I'm on Rogers running Ultimatum ROM and Faux's Kernel.
I'm hoping somebody knows of a way to get this setting back even if it involves flashing something with Odin or reformatting my phone or going back to 100% stock. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

In case anyone encounters this I solved the problem by flashing cm10, which has a working toggle in the menu. Im sure using odin to flash the stock firmware would also work.

I'm in the same boat. For some odd reason my ATT S3 is unable to get LTE in any roms except LoserRom and Stock 4.0.1. Even when I update to stock 4.1.1 with Samsung Kies I an unable to get LTE. I've tried CM10 any many other roms, but can't get LTE on them. Also checked the network and mine is stuck on WCDMA Preferred. Unable to change. I would select LTE and it would change it right back even on CM10. Any ideas?

Did you try changing it using the menu in settings when on cm10 or stock JB? Instead of the dialer code.
I used the settings menu in cm10 to change it and the change stuck. Then I used Odin to flash the stock 4.1.1 firmware that I got from samfirmware and it stayed on LTE through that transition. There is also a setting for network mode in the menu's in 4.1.1
Other than that I'm out of ideas.

Yes i did try it on cm10 menu. I go ti the network selection and see it on wcdma preferred. Click it and select the lte. Right when i hit back it changes right back to wcdma preferred. In the stock 4.1.1 its not changeable. It says the default is selected. The only way i can see the options are if i pop the sim up but not out. The phone will say sim removed. When i go to the setting then the options are available.

Just happened to me.. changed it to WCDMA via *#*#4636#*#* and it is stuck there now.. any solutions??

I'm in a similar situation.
I flashed with SynergyROM and the Modem for Rogers and have lost LTE connectivity and the setting is stuck on WCDMA.
It's like punishment for being awesome.

Go to APN settings make up an APN.....then switch to it.....then quickly hit the dialer code *#*#4636#*#* and when you see the radio disconnect ("unknown" network)....switch the toggle.......tada!

There should be a pull down window after you go into device info. that should read lte/cmda/gsm if stock....it will read something else if its "stuck" on something else...

Go to [Settings -> More... -> Mobile Networks -> Network operators]
Click on ATT to reregister the network then switch it from lte to gsm/wcdma on Network Mode and it should work but after reboot you have to do it all over again.

CDMA US Versions Don't flash Roms

So for the past month or so i have been trying to find a working Rom for my SCH-R890 (US Cellular) i have flashed all Roms i can find including cyanogenmod,Pac-mam Rom, and Aviator Rom, non of them work because after flashing I end up with a null imei and a lost of network service. It was very frustrating for me since i broken two phone but thank good for the *228 feature on US Cellular that can restore my setting. After trying to find a solution to this mess i thought that it was my imei but after investigating some more i notice that these rom were for the international version. That when it hit me!! The international version all work on GSM System!!! So that explains why every time you flash a rom on the CDMA phone you loss your imei and phone number and connection. So for the US variants that run on CDMA don't flash any Roms that are for the i9195 because it will leave your phone with no network. I belive if we message the developers of the Roms then they could be able to create a CDMA version of there roms that would work for all CDMA version of this phone:fingers-crossed:

and what happens if un flash everything but the modem?

That's what I have tried to do
But it's more of I can't since I can't find my specific modem file because I can't find it anywhere. But if you were to test it your self if you could and provide feedback would be much appreciated

After you flash the ROM connect to WiFi and download advanced signal Status and switch it to CDMA. That's what I did the only issue I'm having is no sound and buttons don't work so I'll searching for a kernel that would fix that for sprint galaxy s4mini. Other than that everything works fine WiFi NFC camera. Everything but sound and back button and menu. So to fix them issues u use on screen buttons

[Q] com.android.phone stopped on Incredible 2 beanstalk 4.3

I own Droid Incredible 2 and I've installed beanstalk 4.3
By default this rom has cdma mode selected. when I change it to gsm only from 'mobile networks' in 'settings' and restart, it gives error com.android.phone stopped. and now "mobile networks" in "settings" also doesn't open.
I've tried to open phone information by dialing *#*#4636#*#* but phone information menu also doesn't open.
I need help to resolve the issue.
Reboot even doesn't work.
on resetting phone to factory defaults cdma mode is selected and when I change it to gsm again "com.android.phone stopped"

Hello!!! i had the same issue whit other roms, it looks like the GSM support of the 4.3 android based ROMS is not so good at the moment so is better if you try any 4.1 or 4.2 based Roms.
personally i use the PAC Rom of Chilli Bean but it haves a kind of Bug of the signal bars (i allways only have 1 signal bar and i can´t add APN so mobile data don´t work).
this is the rom i use daily
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2049902
if you really need a full functional GSM Rom you need to use some 4.0.4 of gingerbread roms those are the only one at the moment that works fine using a GSM provider.
these are some roms recomended for GSM.

[Q] FreedomPop- no data with Cyanogen, data with stock

Hey guys,
I am trying to get my Galaxy S3 working on the Freedompop network with BYOD.
I flashed to stock firmware:
MD4_update_FULL_Odex.zip
because the MSL code (##786#) that I was supposed to use to reconfigure the radio to Freedompop's network, did not work in CyanogenMod.
In the stock firmware, the code worked, and I got cellular data and voice. However, when I flashed back to CM, the Sprint icon is orange, and I don't have data connectivity any more.
This is the version of CM I flashed to:
cm-11-20140708-SNAPSHOT-M8-d2lte.zip
Any ideas for what could be wrong?

Same with Carbon, but in carbon if the preferred network is 3G, or 1x, it will connect to those networks but it will not connect to LTE. I also noticed that in carbon it connects to LTE and 1xRTT instead of LTE and 1x800. Also does anyone know any possible way to go to 4.1.2 stock (from stock 4.4.2 KK)? I am also on FreedomPop btw.

Found A Fix
I searched a bit and found a fix, that didn't work at first but worked if you use it a specific way. It's the APN causing the issue. This was found out by user Merudo here on XDA. The fix is to do this:
1. Download a Ting APN fix .zip
2. Go on the ROM with working LTE (stock) and take it's apns-conf.xml (it's in /system/etc/) and copy it to the computer
3. Replace the apns-conf.xml in the Ting APN fix
4. Copy to phone with ROM and Gapps
5. Flash it in right after you flash your rom and gapps (e.g. 1st flash your rom then gapps then the APN fix)
6. Reboot and setup and it should work.
Again Kudos to Merudo for figuring this out.

Anyone get note 3 working on here? I'm on boost now with on 3g.. wondering if I can flash just a uicc card to freedom pop lte??
