[SOLVED]Can't get 4g or 3g. Only E.

I fixed it by flashing a new ROM and wiping all the data!

Someone please help! I don't know what to do!

Nevermind, I think I fixed it!

I fixed it by changing the band to GSM Preferred/GSM ALL but now I only get E. Any way I can get back 4g?

Change it back to automatic or Odin kl1 modem from rootzwiki team kang post.

I changed it to auto, and i'm getting signal. Time to check if 4g. Thanks.
EDIT: It shows signal, but Im not getting any. Can't send text or browse web. Time to odin modem.

I flashed it, and I went to settings and looked at the network mode: It was GSM only. I changed it to auto mode. It seems to still get and send texts, and I looked at band selection with the dialer code, and there wasn't a star besides anything. I think it might've worked, but I still only get e.

By flashed I mean odined. Lol

I tried changing it to automatic in the band selection menu, and it showed signal, but texts didn't send.

Also, if it means anything, I can't change it to wcdma only in settings.

I had same issue and this is how I fixed it.
disable data connection and switch your phone off, remove the back cover and remove sim card completely. Then re-insert sim card and turn your phone back on and it should ask you to re-enable data connection once it boots up.
let me know if this helps

I did this, but it didn't ask me to turn it back on, so I turned it on manually, and still only E.

Other phones receive 3G? Perhaps T-Mobile is servicing your area? This has happened to me but I had no control over it.

Weird. My issue was that I was testing a few of the skyrocket modems. After using Odin to get kl1 it worked again. Yeah i would sugeest resetting apn in wireless settings .

Here's what I did that messed with my 3G
I flashed skyrocket roms.
So what I did was wipe everything. Go to mounts and storage and format system. Then flash Juggernaut or any other rom you desire. Then you're done

[Q] Too many pattern attempts - Locked out?

Hi,
My friend thought it would be hilarious to enter my lock pattern incorrectly too many times so my Nexus locked me out. Problem is, it won't accept my google login as correct. I know the details are 100% correct, because it works online, and I have searched everywhere and all I can find is people telling me that a hard reset is all I can do.
However, I am overseas and have been travelling for 5 months, and have over 2000 crucial pictures and videos that I just can't afford to lose. Does anyone know any way at all that I can pull off my media from the Nexus, because once I have them I don't care if I perform a hard reset on the phone. I don't care how complicated it is, I NEED some way to save those images!!!
Any help would be so greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Can't u just plug it in the computer and take em out???
And dude. U should've gotten DropBox. That's what ppl like u should have when having important stuff.
First question. Are u rooted???

If you're unlocked already...
Boot into a custom recovery (power off. Then power on while holding both volume buttons until it boots into the bootloader)
Then navigate to recovery (if you're using a custom one). If not:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
(change recovery.img to the correct file name)
TWRP/CWM/ETC will work.
You should have ADB access from this recovery.
Then use:
Code:
adb pull /data/media/ /SDCARD/
This will backup your phone's SD card files to a C:/SDCARD/ folder.
_______________
NO idea what that s*** means?
Use my guide to get a CWM.img and info on setting up ADB/Fastboot.

No I'm not already unlocked, I never wanted to mess with my phone in case some glitch happens and I lose everything. How ironic. Does any of that stuff you wrote work if the phone is not unlocked?
Also no I'm not rooted. I'm not a very tech-savvy guy, so is rooted and unlocked the same thing..? When I plug it into my computer, normally it would behave like a usb, but because it is locked it comes up with that weird picture of like a small cellphone with headphones, and while it appears in the file explorer it is just blank when i click on it.
thanks guys!!

You aren't using 2-step verification, are you?

Sorry, I'm always skeptical when people ask how to unlock a phone.
How are we sure It's actually your phone ?

Factory resetting wouldn't delete the sdcard it only deletes your Google info and apps. Boot into the stock android and preform a factory reset. This is what it normally does is wipe data which are the apps.

If you go into the settings and perform a factory reset through the settings menu it deletes EVERYTHING off the phone so I think the same can be assumed if you did a hard reset from outside.

Forgot you could do an adb pull of everything. Although he would need USB debugging enabled... which requires unlocking the screen if its not by default.
Isn't there a emergency dialer... has the OP googled for a bypass code maybe?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I actually think the one thing I do have tahts positive is that usb debugging is enabled. I did it like 5 months ago when i bought the phone because people told me it just makes the phone run faster, so i can assume it hasnt turned itself off.
and yeh i have tried absolutely everything, including all these weird tricks i found online such as trying to access notifications during a phone call, or rebooting and as it loads up you try pressing all the buttons like crazy (which doesnt work obviously because Gnexus has capacitive buttons). the only strange hitch i have found is if i open emergency dialer and immediately press the return button, it opens the slide to unlock screen. but from there, whatever i do it just takes me back to the google login page...
thanks for helping guys!

Yeah you can adb pull /data/media that will put your virtual sdcard on your computer. Just need to install the android SDK and you'll be good to go. If you want I can do this remotely via team viewer. Or you search "how to setup android SDK" that should give you a tutorial...
Oh and not to be a smart ass but the gnex doesn't have capcitive buttons it has on screen keys. LOL only phone that does so far.

Alright... Well yeh like I said I am not tech savvy at all so I don't know what this stuff means, and I would love to let you do it remotely however the bad news is, like I said, I'm travelling, so I actually don't even have a bloody PC available (im using my transformer prime right now which ironically is also android). However I'm in NYC at the moment so I'm going to take all this stuff to try and find a guy in a computer store somewhere if he could do it. otherwise could i contact you sometime in the near future (could be between now or a couple of weeks) when i will have access to a PC and I could ask you to do it then??

No data connection after flashing a new ROM? Look here for fix.

I experienced the problem of no data connection after flashing a new rom on my Optimus G. The phone needs to be reprogrammed, updating your PRL and Profile will NOT help. You must dial ##72786# this will start the handsfree activation and your phone will reboot a few times. It may take a few seconds in between steps of the activation and it will seem like nothing is happening. Just be patient and wait for everything to complete. When it is finished your phone's data connection will be working properly.

Some history,
I've been running Imperium and stockishv1 and v2 for a few days. I've made a couple backups along the way. About an hour ago I lost data. The phone works and makes calls, but my data is dead.
I've tried update profile and prl, and all I get is" Network error" I've tried this many times throughout all these steps.
I've restored backups, pre-Imperium and Stockishv1 with the same results.
I tried the procedure in this thread and still nothing.
Anybody have any other ideas? Would LGNPST restore the phones modem?

I killed the connection optimizer while I was at work because I can't use work's wifi and listen to my icecast station I setup.
This killed my data connection and immediately put my phone into roaming. I rebooted like three times and finally my data came back (i also updated the PRL and the Profile, not sure which fixed it but something did)
From the things you guys speak of, I would guess the same issue is at hand.
ALSO: Stock rooted rom (non-deodex pure stock with bloatware frozen with titanium)

Try the G2 thread, I'm sure if you post in the exact same section over there you might have better results. General answer is that it is probably APN settings. Find an app, enter them, set it, and reboot (might not need to reboot).

Can I Downgrade?

Been searching threads and keep coming across different answers so im not entirely sure of the answer... im currently on the NB4 modem,since ive installed it my battery life has been horrendouuuuus!

I know its not the Rom im on (INsane Kitkat) cuz ive tried different roms and its the same problem,and the only thing that has changed has been moving to NB4... is it possible to go back to whatever the modem before this one was (no clue which it is) or am i stuck with NB4?

Have you tried a different kernel to address your battery issue?
Settings/More about device. If you have done everything manually then you can flash another modem. Flash mk2 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544612 ONLY flash the mk2 modem. Open Odin, uncheck auto-reboot and load the modem in the phone slot. Put phone in download mode plug it in and flash the modem. Once it pass comes up unplug phone and pull battery. Go back to download mode and reflash the modem. Reboot and you should be good to go.

You need to do some detective work to find the culprit, I had a similar issue once and was able to track it down to the phone staying awake for ever, like 14+ hrs when I wasn't using it.
One was Ipservice, other was wifi on while on data network.
You can find these when looking at your battery history in settings.
Settings - more - battery - tap battery graph at top to see the battery history.
It will look like these samples, here are some before and after screen shots.
Also d/l CPU Spy, it will help track your cpu usage vs deep sleep mode.

That's the battery hog you want to tackle.
Make sure in wifi advance settings that wifi in never on unless plugged in.
If you have it checked off already toggle it on then off.
If that doesn't do it with wifi turned off do a battery pull for one minute, then replace battery start phone and let it sit for a while, then check your battery history and see if it's still running.
There may also be an app or setting in Google location that's keeping it on.

Try reflashing your Rom, or try Fenny's stock base Rom just so you can troubleshoot your issues.
I'm on Fenny's v. 1.2 with no mods. On a heavy day with milk music playing for 2 hrs I'll get 12 to 16 hrs, on light days 20+ always have battery to spare.

Sure way to get sound back is to go back yo 4.2 stock and root again then flash the mk2 modem only. Don't worry about voiding your warranty. You will be fine till you decide to reset everything.

It was happening to a lot of us when we updated to the mk2 modem with the mdl bootloader. You'll get your sound back when you back get to stock. All you have to do after that is flash the mk2 modem twice and I also recommend Ktoonzes kernel.

Download and flash the mk2 modem.bin only. Flash twice so it sticks. You should have working sound.

It was happening to a lot of us when we updated to the mk2 modem with the mdl bootloader. You'll get your sound back when you back get to stock. All you have to do after that is flash the mk2 modem twice and I also recommend Ktoonzes kernel.

Download and flash the mk2 modem.bin only. Flash twice so it sticks. You should have working sound.

I've used this in the past to get back to stock. It's the original UVUAMDL.

OK. I'm going to look into it right now and get back to you shortly. I remember other people having the same issue as you. I can't remember exactly how they fixed it but the bootloader is tied to it all. Try flashing the MDL bootloader only. It should be included in the root MDL thread.

Good ol rooting questions

Hi guys
I dont mean to ask questions that have been answered or sound like a total noob. I have a stock s III with 4.4.2 and the gps is just GARBAGE. Im so mad at it. I saw a smiliar thread on this but my situation is a little different. I want to fix it. Whats the best rom to run on my phone that wont require a lot of work/maintenance. I had the OG epic and was constantly working on it to keep it tolerable before i got this. is 4.4.4 safe and mostly bug free? Please let me know and thanks for the help. Links with instructions or youtube videos are much appreciated.

If you're on the ND8 modem, try NDC. Or vice versa. I'll get back to you with the name of an app that *could* help.
Have you tried in the stock dialer ##72786# and then update PRL and Profile?
Those are about the only thing that might change your GPS performance unless you get into experimental file tweaking, but I can't help you there.
Is it the actual GPS that's the problem or the mobile data? If your mobile data is weak, Google Maps won't work with or without a GPS signal.
Personally, I doubt if any other ROM would make a difference.

I read some crazy stuff about GPS issues on the Web, when they first started being posted on XDA. One being that the issue related to loose screws. Said to take the back off the s3 and tighten the screws in the back (like 6?). Didn't bother to check into it, but stranger things I've seen/heard...

Im stock so idk what my modem is. Ive tried the prl and profile update several times. Its not the mobile data network cuz its ****ty even with wifi. It started acting up as soon as the phone updated to 4.4.2. "GPS" was changed to "Location" and everything related to the two just works like crap. Ive seen a lot of other ppl with the issues.

yes GPS was changed to Location but you have the option to use high accuracy, power saving or only the gps....and you will know what modem you have even on stock if you have sprint its ND8 if you have boost or virgin you have NDC

Ok. I have sprint. And ive tried all those settings. I guess to be more specific. It has no problem finding me. It has problems following me. So itll find me and set my route but when i hit start navigation itll take the arrow thingy that represents u and jump to another spot. Like itll put me in the middle of a field. And it wont matter if im driving or what my signal is. Itll stay in one spot. ive uninstalled app dates. Uninstalled google maps it self. Tried other navigation apps. And nothing.

just look at the additional options part when you make a reply...there is attach files and manage attachments button....and this is on the computer once you click manage attachments you can upload basically any file but some can be "to big" for the file type and wont upload but once you upload the pic press close window text and then submit your reply or preview it just to make sure it's there

I would do what I and others have suggested several times in extreme weird situations like this. Start back completely fresh:
Assuming you have a 16GB SPH-L710.
1. Backup everything you want to keep from your phone and internal storage to your SD card or computer.
2. Download the stock ND8 tar in the development thread (non-original). Extract the tar from the zip you download. Doubly check the MD5 hash of the tar to make sure what you downloaded matches what it's supposed to. You might need to run a search on that thread for MD5 to find it.
3. Download Odin v3.07 and the most recently available tar.md5 of Philz Touch Recovery.
4. Charge the phone full, turn off your phone and eject the SD card. Keep the SD card out for the rest of this.
5. Put your phone in Download mode: hold Home and Volume Down, and press and hold the power button at the same time until you see anything on the screen, then let go of all of them. It should say on the screen to press Volume Up "to continue". Do this.
6. Run Odin v3.07 on your Windows PC.
7. Plug the phone into the PC with a known good USB cable. After drivers load, Odin should show something like COM: 5, meaning it sees your phone.
8. Click PDA in Odin and direct it to the stock ND8 tar.
9. Uncheck Reboot in Odin.
10. Click Start. This'll take 5-10 minutes.
11. After done (Odin will say successful) unplug phone from cable and remove the phone battery to turn it off. Put the battery back in.
12. If you want to be able to root and make and restore backups, repeat steps 5 through 11 for the Philz Touch Recovery tar.md5.
13. If you want to root, boot into recovery (same as booting into Download mode but Volume Up instead of Down), click Advanced in Philz, and click the re-root option.
14. Before you do anything else with the phone including before putting the SD card in or installing apps, test the mobile data and GPS.
If any problems with mobile data, ##72786# in the stock TouchWiz dialer and then update PRL and Profile. That happens sometimes after Odining a stock tar or flashing a ROM.
If your problem is solved I would backup everything from your external SD card that's still removed and reformat it. That has solved some weird issues for myself and others, too.

I read a few other posts about terrible GPS, and it sounded like a bear to resolve. Never had a problem with GPS. Works perfectly (knock on wood). I went back through the posts and someone had mentioned that they fixed it by turning off Google location (in Google settings). They later turned Google location back on and (still) no longer had the problem...
Wondering if you had tried that?

What I meant was to go into your Google settings app, and turn off "location"
