So I've had this phone for over two week now, and I rooted it and flashed it with FrostyJB v5. Everything was running well (excluding the battery life, which was better in v4 but that's a different topic). I was at my school connected to their wifi earlier tonight and when I left school, I can't make any phone calls (i have a circle with a slash through it where my signal bar would normally be). I think it has something to do with my APN or network or something? I'm honestly new to this. I would appreciate it if some one could help me solve this problem. The phone is a T-Mobile phone, which I bought from a T-Mobile dealership. The SIM was working properly until tonight. I tried removing the SIM and rebooting, putting the SIM back in, rebooting. etc.
TLDR: My 4G doesn't work, I'm not connected to any APN, my phone is rooted and flashed with FrostyJB v5 but I bought it from a T-mobile dealership with a T-mobile sim card. Help. Please.
I can provide addtional information if needed
Is your imei still there? Check it in settings/about phone. And are you sure airplane mode is not checked? Were you doing anything developement wise when it went out?

my imei is still there. it is not in airplane mode. I can't connect to my 4G or my T-Mobile network. I was not doing any development when it suddenly turned off. I was walking out of my school around 11:00pm CST (if it helps, I get no reception at my school's building). I turned my wifi off and turned my 4G on via drop down menu and it wouldnt connect. I tried rebooting my phone several times, using HOT BOOT and REBOOT.
Can an mod/admin close this thread out? I solved the issue. You need to turn off wifi calling for it to work. dur. sorry

Hi Guys,
So, I've been using the GNex for about a month. I moved to this phone from a Moto Atrix and here is what I have noticed and have looked around but didn't see any good answers to these questions I am having. Hopefully I get some answers here.
Device info:
GNex GSM version on ATT.
Running JB 4.1.1 Stock with Trinity Kernel (rooted and bootloader unlocked).
Issue #1: I get really bad reception at work. But, when I leave the building, my phone doesn't automaticaly connect back to the network. Sometimes, if I don't check my phone, it's been like that all night long until the next day when I have tried to make a call and it said "No Network Available" and I have to either reboot or toggle airplane mode to get back on the network. Am I missing something? In my past experience with other devices, they try to automatically connect back to the network when they loose connectivity. Also, if I get in an elevator during a call and the call gets dropped due to network unavailability, it doesn't connect back to the network and I have to toggle airplane mode. Has anyone else had this issue?
Issue#2: This is with the stock mail app. Specifically the search in this mail app. No matter what, it always returns zero results. Has anyone had this issue with the Mail App? If I use the Gmail app, it works fine. That's what I am using now, but am curious as to what I may be missing that make it not return any search results in the stock mail app.
Q3: Speed Dial: How do you set speed dial on the dialer? Is it even supported?
thanks in advance,
vG

it could be to do with your radio, what version is it? baseband version in about phone. im no expert but when i flashed a jellybean rom i had to update my radio afterwards cause my signal was dropping alot. i also had the same problem later on but that was down to my network operator. before i realised it was them i googled my problem and a few forums suggested that my sim card was goosed. so maybe check those three possibilities? i cant help with the other two issues unfortunately but good luck sorting it out!

Hi I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus and today I simply stopped receiving signal on it. I don't know how or why. I didn't flash anything or even use my phone at all. At one point it was working fine, then I noticed that where my signal bars should be, I have nothing but greyed out bars and an "X" on top of that. This was hours ago. I called T-Mobile(I use T-Mobile Prepay) and they had me do several things like remove battery and sim, and nothing helped. I have a custom ROM(Black Bean). I have used this ROM for weeks with no issue. Just to make sure I did a nandroid and I restored my old Stock-Rooted ROM. Still no signal. I then did a full wipe did a full wipe and installed Black Bean 3.1.2(older version which I know for a fact works fine) on a clean install. Still there is no signal. If I try to make a call, it tells me to turn off Airplane mode before making a call. But I am 100% that Airplane mode isn't on. I can go and turn it on, then back off even. Still I have no signal. I have no way of knowing if this is my phone or T-Mobile having tower problems. I called but they don't know anything since it was the pre-pay support line call center in India.
I have been generally disappointed with T-mobiles service. I would gladly give up the rest of my current month and re-subscribe to Straight Talk with ATTs Towers right now, but I'd have to get service going with them again and that would cost 45 bucks. And it's a waste if there is something wrong with my phone. So now I don't know what to do! =/
Edit: Quick update, I put in my Straight Talk SIM thinking that even if it were out of minutes, it would at least let me connect to the towers so that I can add more. Still nothing. If I hold down power(under stock) it brings up the power screen and that tells me that Airplane Mode is on even though I have it off in settings. If i click on that message, it says "Airplane Mode is OFF" but it isn't really, because if I go out and back in again, it's back to saying that it's on. However, I do have it turned off in my settings. I will also mention that WIFI does work.
Check if you activated the 2G option under Mobile settings. I had a similar issue a few weeks back. Almost drove me mad.

Sounds like your phone is the problem if there's discrepancies about whether airplane mode is on.
Hey guys, I picked up a new Samsung Galaxy S II (T-Mobile) about a month ago from the retail store.
About a week ago I was using my phone as a hotspot for my xbox and then I got disconnected while playing. I wondered what was the problem and I saw the data icon was in the no connection state. Now I restarted the phone in case it was the simple loss of signal bug but it wasn't. My data wasn't coming back on. No matter what I did the connection wouldnt come back on. I called the tmobile tech support and they gave me rubbish things such as reboot phone, take out battery and wait 20 seconds, and all that jazz. I then noticed a pattern starting with my phone, the phone would connect to 4g then a second later disconnect. It would repeat this all day and not change to anything else. If anyone can help with this problem it would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same issue a few weeks ago. It was the SIM card. I only had the phone for 2 weeks and got a new sim card when I got the phone. It just went bad. Go to a corporate Tmo store and get a new card. They will give you one for free.
I have this same problem with my SGH-T989.
I'm running CM 10.1.3 (Android 4.2.2), and it's vendor unlocked (used to be a Rogers phone) now on the TELUS network.
Data will randomly disconnect, but I still have all signal bars in grey. A reboot will enable it again, or sometimes it just comes back on it's own. I've been to the cell booth in the mall and they've swapped out a SIM card for me, no change.
I also noted that when the data isn't working, my WIFI doesn't seem to either. Modem issue? How can I tell what modem I have and what would be best? I assume CM 10 comes with it's own modem for this phone and when I flash CM it writes the modem too?
thanks for any help.

Flashing a ROM usually does not touch the radio. Newer ROMs(4.2.2 and later) need either the UVMC6 or TLMC4 radio from here:

So I've been using Cyanogenmod night lies for since the GS3 launched and have never gotten LTE I always thought that coverage hadn't gotten to my area but finally decided to check with a local sprint store and the guy that worked there had the same phone with full 4g. So now I've realized it's something with my phone. I did some research and checked that it might possible be my baseband so as of the moment I'm running MC3 withcCyanogenmod still. But still no 4G. Anyone have any idea what u may be doing wrong? Thanks
Make sure your phone is set to LTE/CDMA/EvDo instead of CDMA/EvDo auto in the mobile network settings.
^^yeah turn it on.

I have it turned on, and I've tried switching it back and forth a few times + the airplane mode trick etc.

Make a nandroid backup of your current setup and then flash a TW ROM and see if you can get LTE then. If you still can't try updating your profile & PRL.
First of all I have done everything to find an answer to my issues, I've looked in a lot of places and searched a lot of different ways.
The last thing iI wanted to do is post here but don't even know how to ASK about my issue.
I have an AT&T i747 running task650 4.2.2 with underwear kernel.
I am using a ST LTE sim.
Even before I got the new LTE sim I had this issue.
My problem is my phone is getting bad network issues when leaving wifi on, but like when I leave my house, where I connectto wifi, it takes forever to get cconnected to a network if I do get connected at all.
Recently my phone is now displaying NO NETWORK even, like when I try to make a call in my house.
And when I leave my house I won't get a network sometimes unless I turn on and then off airplane mode.
I'm sure someone else has had this problem, maybe I'm just searching with wrong verbiage idk..
I don't even know what to call this problem let alone now how to fix.
If someone has an answer that would be cool.
