Hey guys,
This has been a big problem for me. My DHD often looses cell reception and it doesn't come back so I always have to activate then deactivate Airplane mode to get the bars back. Now first I have to say that this didn't use to happen when I was using the original firmware but for the past year I have been using many ROMs and I always have the same problem. For some ROMs I loose reception once or twice a day and for others more than five times. So if I don't carefully check my phone every hour I could miss phone calls.
I know some of you will tell me to flash the original ROM but really I can't go back from Jellybean to gingerbread. It would break my heart :crying:
So if you have any advice or solution to my problem I would really appreciate it!
Thanks.
anyone?
Try to learn about radios and maybe flash one, carefully...I'm clueless about those...but I think that's it.

when i used the zedomax kernel the first time the radio would cut off randomly after long periods of time. no cdma at all, not even after airplane mode, having to restart the phone.
i cant get a log as to why it does it because im never on ddms at the time it happens. im having to back to the stock kernel and update profile and prl just to stop it. any ideas?
It is not the kernel and the search function works great

then i dont understand what the problem would be. itll stay on the network if im on the stock kernel.
I had no LOS on stock for 1-1/2 weeks. I flashed a rooted kernel and it started happening constantly. 3 or 4 times a day. Power off and restart was the only way to get service back.
Last night I flashed back to stock and so far today, no LOS.
My take? Odin is so easy to use. Just flash back to stock and see what happens.

and there have been plenty of people that have been the exact opposite of you both. sprint has been aware of this issue and is going to fix it on the first patch. theres an issue with the rom itself not the firmware
I agree. It is all over the place, stock and rooted.
That is why I say change your situation and see if it helps. It did for me. Will it for anyone else? I can't say. It's easy enough to find out.

well when i talked to a csr last week they had no idea about the issue. we'll see.
csr's arnt all knowing... the tech people know a lil, and the online chat know less than both combined... but it is an recognized bug on the sprint forums
Hey guys... as it says in the title, I am having issues with my G-nex randomly losing connection/signal but then coming back again. From what I have read, this is a common problem... anyone have any tips? Also wanting to know if I flash a custom ROM if that would possibly fix the problem. Thanks!
Not necessarily the ROM, but the radios. Try that.
There are a few 4.0.4 ROMs for the LTE GNex out now you could try as well if you want to go the ROM route.
Is this happening to you? (See attachment)
If so.. I've been trying multiple radios and multiple roms all day without any progress, this still happens. Would love it if someone has a solution to this... I'd have having to send in my phone again.
The signal issues seem to stop when the phone is awake though... :/ But I'm missing a lot of phone calls since my phone is "off" when people try to call me.

yeah, that's exactly what's happening... it does seem to happen more when the phone is off, but I think it still happens when it is on. it is so weird! I went into the verizon store, one of the reps said that he had just been having this issue today and that he put it into airplane mode and back off again and it seemed to fix the problem... I did it, and it seems to have helped, but that was only about 20 min ago lol. see if it helps you!

Hmm.. interesting. The problem here is that this started on March 24th... :/ But, still trying Airplane mode, even though I'm not optimistic..
I emailed my provider, asking them for info, but a friend of mine has been working beside me for the past few days, on the same network with the same phone, without problem. So I guess it's time to bring it in..
Thanks for the info! I may try to put the latest rom/radio on it and see if that helps... if not i'll un-root it and send it in I guess.
I'm having a similar issue with my GSM model, It started when my phone was updated to 4.0.4. Phone signal suddenly drops and comes back again in less than 10 seconds. Sometimes it happens with 1 minute intervals between signal losses, sometimes 5 or 20 minutes, it's very random. After noticing the issue thanks to "Light Flow" that blinks the notification light in white when there is a signal loss, I installed this app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.missedcall&hl=en) to track it properly. The results are very frightening, I'm about to do a full wipe in hopes that the issue will be gone :|
ps: like you guys, I did notice that it's very most likelly to happen while the screen is off. Actually, it has never happened while the screen was on.
Same here, post 4.0.4 update on my GSM GNex.
Found this explanation....
Hi
For some reason, I'm not getting notifications of text messages when my screen is turned off. Neither the actual audio or the vibrating.
Edit: found out it's only on wifi. 3G works
I tried all kinds of different ROMs but nothing seems to work.
Only when I unlock my phone I get a bunch of stuff .
Thought maybe it had to do with a kernel or ROM or Juice Defender so tried with or without. Etc.
I am coming from a SGS2 haven't had this problem so maybe people know what to do. I am a SGN noob ))
Really need some helps .
Thanks a lot in advance.
This is an unfortunate bug with 4.0.4.
I, personally, don't experience it...but it is pretty widespread.
Screen off=no signal.
Ok.
I had no idea THAT was the bug. Thought it was that the signal was gone completely.
Thank you so much for answering.
Was just about to check for a radio that would fit my region.
Might flash the update then. Thanks.
Is it only related to 4.0.4 ??
I now switched to Foxhound a 4.0.3 ROM and having the same issue . It's driving me rather mad :-(
Same on stock 4.0.2
Try the latest release of 4.0.4 with the IMM76I kernel... if that doesn't do it, then we'll have to consider our options.
... and maybe give the UGLA4 radio a try as well for ****s and giggles assuming you're GSM.
Ok. I found out what's up. Been in the house a lot because of my new phone flashing etc etc.
Just now walked outside and bam got all the notifications.
So now got home and wifi was on.
No notifications when screen was off.....
turned off wifi and bam got all the messages.
So only when I'm on wifi nothing is happening.
Edit: tried the other modem. Ddidn't change anything.
I'm rather clueless what it could be.
Ok this is becoming a little monologue lol...
Anyways read somewhere that in wifi advanced settings you can turn on wifi always even when screen is off. Hoped that sovled the issue but nope....
Read other people have it so we need a some real help.
Hi.
For about two weeks ago my Wi-Fi signal and radio signal drop a lot. I don't know what caused it, it had been laying over the night and when I turmed the Wi-Fi on, the signal was terrible. Going from 2-3 bars to almost not conecting at all at the same spot. I am quite sure it is not the antenna hardware fault. In my opinion I have pressed the area I am described to press pretty hard. I have an unlocked bootloader.
I don't think it is any software related thing I have done because it was several days since I had flashed anything or installed any mod. I have removed some of the things I considerd unnecessary, such as live walpapers. As far as I know I haven't removed any important parts. After that I installed a stock ARHD 9.3.2 to check if that could help, after that I checked with several AOSP roms. Nothing worked as far as I know.
At that point I used ARHD 9.1.0
-I might have installed faux06b mainline (repacked)
-I had installed:
APM
EQM
Faster gps fix
supercharger
soundrecorder txt mod
Hope any of you bright heads can help me. In advance thanks.
By pressing you made it worse unfortunately.
Look here:

Extensive thread about your issue and what to do in detail explained :good:
Well, the problem is that the signal was bad before I pressed to check if i had the hardeware fault. When the pressing didn't work, well as you said I guess it didn't help. If thwt would have been the problem it would be easier.

For the love of god/drugs/beer/etc. put a more descriptive title. Forum etiquette.
And yes by pressing you might have created the problem if it didn't exist. In my opinion, that whole pressing the antenna scene should be removed from that WiFi defect thread. I've messed up mine for the same reason, I tried checking for a problem that didn't exist and end up bending the antenna pins.
Sometimes people get weak wifi because of a weird flash of rom or kernel. I remember seeing posts in a JB rom thread where people were experiencing weak wifi, but you've knocked that off anyway since you tried different roms. I suggest relocking and giving it to HTC Service Center. Wait for more 'bright heads' to post though . Good Luck.
As I have tried to say, I had the problem before I pressed. But I installed AOSP to check if it made a difference. But thank you for the tip.

Any bright head got a clue? I would appreciate it a lot.
Hello all,
Its been a while since I had an issue with my phone but this one is really bothering me. Last week for no reason at all I noticed my WiFi was turned off while at work. When I tried to use the drop down widget to turn it back on it would just stay gray for like 5-10 seconds then go back to the off position. So I went into settings and tried to turn it on the long way and got the same result. This was troubling to me because I had made no changes to my phone that could have effected this. So after doing some digging around online and not finding any answers I contacted Samsung tech support who was terribly uninformed about their product and offered very little help with my problem. They suggested I go into the application manager and reset the application preferences. I was skeptical because I had spent a considerable amount of time disabling all the bloatware that was not needed in the past but I did take the advice of tech support and to my surprise it did get wifi working again.. temporarily that is.
Today I did the OTA 4.4.2 Kit Kat upgrade in hopes that it would fix my issue and to my shock and surprise it did. Wifi worked flawlessly for a few hours but then all the sudden earlier today it just shut off again without notice. Now once again, it will not turn back on no matter what I try. Im thinking this could potentially be a hardware issue. If it is then why after the upgrade to 4.4.2 did it work so well for a few hours?
Any help would be much appreciated as I have chewed through nearly all of my monthly data allocation while trying to find a working fix.
Thanks in advance!

I'm having the same problem. I upgraded to the KK 4.4.2 and now my WiFi won't turn on! I'm getting the Security notice that "Your phone's security has blocked an action that is not permitted. No further action is required." So, I went to the phone security tab to see what my settings were and it is set to Normal and the only other choice is High. So, I don't want to change that setting!
Both of you guys try flashing Ktoonz newest KK kernel for tw.. If that won't work there's also something to try to fix it in the OP, or you could also try that first

Correct me if im wrong but your suggested fix would require root right?
I am running a stock unrooted rom
please help!

Right.. But other than that, the only other thing I can think of is to Odin the 4.4.2 firmware and see if that would fix it, if not then its likely a hardware problem
