Hello everybody,
I'm currently running XenonHD (December 22, 2012 update) on a Galaxy Nexus. My problem is that as soon as my phone loses signal with Wind Home (n.b. my provider is Wind Mobile) and reconnects back to it when I get within range it displays the numbers 302490 instead of Wind Home. Now, although I know that to be Wind Home and everything works it's annoying to have to restart the device to get it to display Wind Home again (Note, toggling airplane mode on/off doesn't work). I can't simply set the phone to WCDMA only because I need to be able to receive SMS while roaming on Rogers (since receive SMS are free) and I also don't want to use the custom carrier label function that comes with the rom because I'm pretty sure it doesn't discriminate whether I'm roaming or not which defeats the purpose of having the phone telling me whether I'm on the network or roaming since I only want to receive SMS while roaming. Furthermore, when I try to manually select the network in the mobile networks options it also shows digits for wind and several providers (e.g. Rogers) in digits as well. Was wondering if anybody knows of a fix for this problem since I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem.

Hi all,
I have a question regarding my Verizon Galaxy S4 i545 model. I purchased the phone unlocked out of the States, and now have it in Canada partially working on my carrier, SaskTel. The phone seems to work fairly well, except I'm having some issues with LTE/4G service.
Basically, if I set my network mode to "LTE/CDMA" I get a perfect LTE connection, fast speeds and it works well. However, when LTE is enabled, I'm unable to send/receive any type of text message, and I'm unable to make phone calls as well. The phone itself displays that I have no service, but I can still use LTE. I phoned up my carrier to see if they could help me figure the issue out, and they said it could be because Verizon tends to complete all phone calls, and send all texts over LTE. The support rep explained that with SaskTel, phones usually drop down to 3G connectivity for a few moments when sending texts, or making a phone call, because SaskTel does phone calls and texts over 3G.
However, if I set my network mode to "GSM/UMTS" I receive a data connection through HPSA+, and can text and phone people as well. Obviously this isn't an ideal situation, because HPSA+ speeds are quite slow. (1-3Mbps download) I have found a sort of fix to this issue. To temporarily fix it, here's what I do:
-Set network mode to "GSM/UMTS"
-Clear the "Messaging" app cache
-Restart the phone
-Set network mode to "LTE/CDMA"
Then the phone can use LTE and still text and make phone calls. However if it ever loses connection, or if I enable airplane mode, once the phone regains connectivity, I have no service, but can still use LTE data.
Do you guys have any ideas of what might be causing this? I thought it might be a modem issue, but I figured most people here would know more than me on this topic. (this is my first Android device, and I've had it for about four days now)
Here are some things I've tried doing to fix the issue:
-Pop out SIM card and pop it back in
-Test different APN settings for my carrier given to me by my carrier
-Test the phone with a different SIM card from the same carrier
-Reset phone to factory defaults
None of these made any difference at all to the issue, and it seems that my "temporary fix" seems to be the only way to fix this issue. Any advice on this issue would be appreciated!
Hello there, I'm in need of your help again.
My SGH-M919 has a problem, it cannot connect to 3G/LTE (Not even EDGE). My carrier uses the 850 mHz band for GSM and 1900 mHz for UMTS, so the phone should be able to use them. The thing is, it doesn't. It only connects to GPRS and the signal is very erratic and weak (Usually 2-3 bars). Sometimes I get SMSs from my carrier saying that I missed like 5 calls when my phone never rang once. I live in a zone with good 3G coverage, so it's not the signal.
I'm currently rooted on Android 4.4.4 (NH7). I already tried selecting "1900 WCDMA" in the *#2263# service menu but that only causes the phone to lose all the signal (And it's a problem to change it back, without signal the service menu doesn't work and I cannot change the Network Mode in Settings).
I've tried to select "WCDMA only" mode before, but my signal just goes to zero (The circle with the slash) before changing back to "LTE/WCDMA/GSM (Auto connect)" automatically.
I also cannot use the Network Operators option. Using "Search now" makes it search for a few seconds before showing the message "Error while searching for networks". The "Select automatically" one shows the message "Unable to connect. Try later" and then connects back to my carrier (Movistar)
My APNs are configured (They did it themselves when I inserted the SIM, but I've configured them manually before). The SIM card works, I tried it in another phone and it got 3G immediately, I also tried another SIM card on the GS4, but the result was the same. Someone told me to upgrade to the latest firmware (NK2) while someone else told me to flash the MDL modem. (Is that even possible? I read something about KNOX blocking all downgrades after 4.3).
Since I couldn't find any direct solution to the problem, I'm recurring to you.
Thanks.
P.S: I didn't change the LTE Band Preference option in the Service Menu because the last time someone messed with it, my IMEI/Baseband went completely nuts, I thought the EFS got corrupted, but they magically appeared everytime I enabled the Airplane Mode (So I was able to select Automatic in the ServiceMenu and they got fixed). Also, I don't live in a LTE area although once during a very strong thunderstorm, I got 4G for a few minutes before going back to G).
*bump*
Any ideas?
Did you put a check mark in data roaming?

I've tried with and without it, it doesn't make a difference anyway.
Does it show you have an ìmei # other than all zeros?
Don't post it just a yes or no.

My IMEI is fine, the phone connects to the carrier network but it stays on GPRS (and the signal is always dropping)
Update to full NK2 firmware and see if that will fix it

I'll try that later. Will I have to re-root and re-install TWRP after flashing NK2?
I have a similar problem with my M919 on the Tmobile network. Using the *#2263# menu I can not get mine to work on WCDMA (4G) either. I can chose GSM /LTE only and my phone works normally but no 4G signal. If I chose WCDMA I get no signal. I can see it trying to connect and immediately dropping the signal. If I choose any option with WCDMA included it has erratic signal and will lose the signal most of the time when I try to make a call. So basically I have the choices of GSM only or GSM/LTE only. Before I discovered the secret menu I was stuck with GSM only in the phone's settings. This has been going on for months. Tmobile changed my SIM card and it didn't help. I've rooted and unrooted my phone (using autoroot) and even tried different modems (even worse signals) and now am back to stock rooted NK2 firmware and modem. I have given up and decided to get another phone (not an S4). My wife's S3 gets great 4G signals in the same location by the way. I wonder if anyone knows why our phones can't use 4G. I am beginning to think it's a hardware problem but I'm way out of warranty on mine.
Hey guys, just unwrapped my new N5x and popped in my sim card. Yet for some reason I can't make or receive any calls!
Calls to me go straight to voicemail, and when making an outgoing call it either immediately says call ended or after a while says network unavailable.
The strange thing is that the entire time I'm connected to LTE (full bars) and data works fine (I can use chrome), and I can even send and receive SMS!
It's been like this straight out of the box. I reset the network settings, then factory reset the device, then upgraded to 6.0.1, rinsed and repeated with no luck.
Probably related: I tried setting the phone from LTE preferred to 3G or 2G but it still says connected to LTE. Even did it manually from the *#*#4636#*#* and nothing changed.
I'm using HOT Mobile in Israel and the American version of the phone. All bands are here are supported.
Any thoughts on how to proceed?
Do US specifc models of phones normally work fine in Israel?
I know I had these symptoms when I managed to accidentally swap my UK model to use USA bands. Only potential difference is that I don't think SMS worked for me.
If someone more knowledgeable knows where the "Network settings reset" pulls values from and to, that might help.
Or which partition holds the data that makes a US phone a US version and an EU phone an EU version (assuming it isn't hardware), we could potentially flash stuff.
Yeah they do. I have a friend with a 5x and his phone is working fine. :/
Check your apn settings, re add them again to test.
Maybe your network do not support lte calls, try it on 3g. This was my solution even thought my network supported volte and worked on s6 but not on my 5x.
I see you tried the 3g option, my problem was another app causing the conflict between lte and 3g. Able to source for another spare sim to try?
I deleted the apn settings - no luck. tried 2 different service providers and same results with both
I havnt installed anything yet and wiped the phone to be sure. Could a stock app be causing the conflict? How can I check?
did you try having your friend put his sim in your phone and yours in his to see if it works?
Yep - he's on the same service provider that I am. Didn't work. Also tried a Sim card from a different service provider.
Here is a solution if you still need it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64023143&postcount=10
Hey So I'm having some issues after sim unlocking phone;
I sim unlocked my phone and then flashed it back using odin to stock and still having issues.
Issues:
-While it says LTE the device does not seem to be getting actual LTE as doing a speed test revealed about 2-3 mbps
-When calling someone, they can rarely hear me
-When someone calls me I can't answer the call, I swipe to answer and the phone hangs then shows the call screen again and I try to answer the second time it usually disconnects the call
-When I am able to answer the call no audio and the call automatically hangs up after about 5 seconds
I know that the microphones are good as I can make calls using FB Messenger and don't have any issue since it's using the data.
Steps I have done:
-Flashed back to stock
-Factory Reset after Flash
-Manually set network to: AT&T
-Disabled WiFi calling
-Set network to 2g/3g to see if the LTE was causing the issue
....none of this seems to have made any difference in the issue.
Any recommendations, suggestions, in-sight would be great! Wondering if I should just sell this and get an ATT phone or if I can fix the issue.
I had read in some thread that someone had to get a new sim but from what I remember of the thread they weren't seeing anything data or the ability to select a operator. The phone the SIM originally came from was a iPhone 5C if that makes any difference.
This worked for me:
1) Use an "activity launcher" app to launch Device Info com.android.settings.radioinfo (there is one by that name in the Play Store that I use; Alternatively, Nova Launcher has a handy widget function to launch activities.)
2) Once Device Info/Radio Info is open, there is a drop down menu mid-way down the page that allows you to select various combinations. The default is intended for TMOBILE networks.
For AT&T, select "LTE/GSM (Auto)"
3) Reboot the phone
While the Radio Info settings updated to "LTE/GSM (Auto)" did immediately resolve the mobile data issues on AT&T for me, checking your active APN (that's it's using the AT&T Nextgen APN) might be worthwhile as well.
The program I actually tried to do this with was "4G LTE Switcher"; I had used it back with my XT912(Droid Razr Maxx) because it had lots of problems with custom roms and not connecting to the network and I tried those methods:
1. Turn on airplane mode and turn back on to establish connection after power on
2. Turn on airplane mode, power cycle
3. 4g Switch/ Turn data to CDMA only and then back to LTE (when was on verizon)
Things I've noticed:
1. If I'm on wifi the call audio never works even though I have disabled wifi calling
2. If I'm on LTE the call never works and for some reason like the phone doesn't want to switch over to HSPA
3. If I'm on HSPA+ it works more often on incoming calls than outgoing
I got a new sim card from ATT and had them add the IMEI into the system but didn't help at all.
Nougat should be out soon and hoping that I can get it fixed, going to try some rom flashing and CSC flashing to see if I can get a result out of it
I got my s6 edge plus in a trade, i was able to get it unlocked finally and was wondering if there is an unbranded rom that can be installed on the tmobile variant ? I have at&t as well.
Hi folks,
I recently bought an Active Watch 2 and already have a Vodafone UK mobile account to which I added the One Number service.
I've discovered that on my watch while on 4G, I cannot make or receive phone calls.
There is definitely a data connection there, as I can send a text message or use the Internet browser app to view a website.
What happens is I dial a number, I get 2 beeps and then a Call Ended message. I've spent over 10 hours on the phone/chat to Vodafone trying to get this resolved to no avail. I've done a number of resets, SIM swaps etc.
This morning I noticed on the watch under Settings in the Phone app, that there is an option for "Preferred Number for Calls" which is greyed out and set to 'Watch'. I'm sure at one point when I first got the watch I was able to select Phone or Watch. Could this have something to do with it? Is the VF network blocking the call because the watch is trying to phone from the One Number secondary number instead of my contract phone number ?
Any help appreciated!
Hey there.
I have the exact same problem myself, my carrier is o2 and have an Active2 LTE.
Set everything up through the esim QR Code. I am the £5 data per month, and yet am unable to make or receive phone calls through LTE / Wi-Fi. No issues though with data and messaging.
It occasionally worked when I first set it up a couple of months ago, but since the latest Tizen update to 5.0 something, there is no option under 'remote connection' in the Galaxy Wearable app to make/receive calls. When testing my original Galaxy Watch out, the call option is there and it is on Tizen 4.0 and I am able to make WiFi calls.
At first I thought the issue was with o2 but am now thinking it is related to Samsung services. Via Bluetooth the Active2 works fine with call functionality but through WiFi/lte, nothing. The odd issue as well, is that, when testing through LTE on the watch it remotely connects very briefly to the phone when attempting the call but then the phone automatically disconnects from remote dialling.
I would say that it is definitely software related, I also have tried all troubleshooting issues and more with no luck.
Hey there. Have you managed to get a fix for this?
I have been in contact with both o2 and Samaunf on this very issue and Samsung are saying to send it in for repairs. I am very dubious though that it is a hardware issue, rather software related.
Hi I have now got both a galaxy watch and a galaxy watch3 here in the UK to now work stand alone on a pay as you go ESIM and wondered if some of my findings may help.....
First the Galaxy Watch i bought second hand on an auction site
it had been on EE in the UK and when i first loaded an esim on it I could not make calls or connect to the network...
I looked under settings connections mobile networks only to find that there was no option to select 3g / 3g4g mode ....
Hence the unit was setup only to connect via 4g data ....by default ....and so would only send Voice calls over LTE ...and hence when i changed the ESIM from EE yo Vodafone I could not make calls or SMS ...and only had emergency calls over vodafone if i was in a 4g service area with no ability to search for or connect to 3g
So I downloaded OXX versions of the firmware instead of OXA for the UK ...and i got the earliest version i could find.
Then loaded it onto the watch ... then I checked the CSC and EE where using a non BTU CSC code so first...
I changed the CSC to BTU so I could support non EE ESIMs
Next I Uploaded an ESIM from Vodafone via Galaxy Wear on a samsung phone over a bluetooth link after first activating
the esim test feature of wear app to enable QT code scanning to load the ESIM.
The OXX firmware activated the 3g 3g-4g section option under settings connections mobile networks so i could enable 4g/3g auto selection .....then the watch could find and connect to 3g or 4g networks and make voice calls and send / recieve sms.
then I put the watch into firmware download mode to install OXA firmware ...and it was an the oldest version i could find
the watch rebooted and so i now had OXA firmware with the 3g-3g/4g toggle still present under settings.
checked it was on 3g-4g auto selection.
then I enabled Dexv mode and made sure the CSC was still on BTU for generic UK ....it wasnt it had changed so I reset it to BTU
then I upgraded the firmware to the latest version via wear app ...
So end up with a generic BTU UK CSC with the latest Firmware BUT with the 3g/4g selection option under mobile networks.
with another service providers ESIM installed 3g/4g to auto select and it all works fine.
hence myadvice is if you dont have 3g/4g then the watch may be locked to 4g ONLY and VOLTE as its only mode with the CDC set to something generic EE for example...
Hope this is of assistance as many conplain that the watch wont work stand alone for voice calls or sms properly
my days of time and many esim tests until i got 3g support and 3g-4g auto load lead mr to think that the watch is often
locked to 4g data and VOLTE only ....
I now have done this on watch and watch 3 models with full sucess stand alone pay as you go esims ....with the watch fully stand alone...working like a normal cell phone ....with esim service with a different provider to the sim in my samsung phone
comment please .... hope that helps
Hi. My problem is different from this. I can make and receive calls from My Active2 LTE and I can also send text messages. However, I cannot receive text messages. Basically I bought this watch to rely on this for calls and messages and this got totally disappointed me.
Any advise on how we can receive text messages?
I have had this problem too. The issue is in phone settings. Go to ADVANCED FEATURES and turn on ALLOW CALLS ON OTHER DEVICES also turn on mobile data in this setting.
