Confusing cell signal issue

I just flashed my friends S3 (d2ltetmo) last night (DocHoliday77s reworked CM 10.1) found HERE. He called me this morning telling me that he has no internet, and very little, if any, cellular signal. I had him toggle his mobile data, airplane mode, and had him get reset on the network. He said none of these steps has changed his signal. I am a little confused by what he is experiencing exactly though. He claims to have signal for calls and texts, but also said he was at home last night where he used to get 4 bars of LTE but discovered that now, his phone couldn't find a network. So I'm thinking radio issue right? Sure. Then he goes on to explain to me that even when he has signal (which I guess he has from time to time) he still has no internet can't browse the web, can't run pandora etc, so now I'm thinking modem. Can anyone help with this confusing issue? Is it radio or Modem? Can anything be done to fix it?
Thank you all in advance!!!

Check the Imei in Settings - About Device - Status.
If its zero, pm me for further help. If its still got the correct imei number (dont post it), just let us know here.

I can't confirm if the number is correct however I can report that the imei is not zeros.

Have him flash back to stock to see if thst fixes it. Theres also another modem you could try probably a couple pages back in the thread. (Sorry haven't got to cleaning up yet, will try to this week).
Did this all happen from his very first boot up of cm? Or did it seem to work at first?
Before flashing anything else, try ktoonsez cm kernel. Maybe itll help this. Others reported it fixing other issues the had...

I can flash him back to stock to see where the issue stands and if that fixes it what will that mean? I would like to try the kernel and modem first though, any objections to that?
It's hard to answer the question of when did it start, he didn't seem to have any issue at my home. However immediately upon leaving my home the issue seems to begin, so I guess I would call it from the start.
EDIT: When you say "The thread" are you speaking of your thread that I am familiar with sir?
Thank you for all your help Doc I'm glad you have our backs on this!

Definitely try the modem and kernel first, (modem first, then test. Then kernel and test), and yes, the thread im referring to is the Info/FAQ thread I have here in Q&A. (Sorry bout that)
If the kernel or modem dont help try going back to stock. If the only thing fixing it this, it just means theres something not working correctly in the rom. A rom/T999L issue, if you will. Itd mean we will have to do a good bit more investigating to figure it out.

Btw, dont rule out the possibility of it being a problem on T-Mobiles end. This is why I wanted to know if he lost the functionality immediately after the flash, or if it worked fine right before and after flashing.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

I understand and will do exactly that. I have NOT ruled out that it is Tmos fault and, in fact, that is likely being that we just got the LTE and the towers are still having the bugs worked out of them. I am hoping to report back tomorrow or maybe even later tonight after EST with my findings, thanks again sir!

Flashed the modem and all seems well! Thanks a million Doc!!! My friend is very happy and sends his thanks as well!!
Edit: Issue is half fixed, if I toggle airplane mode the phone will have data for a time to toggle data produces the same result but eventually it lose all signal, after the modem and the kernel have been flashed...

Try the kernel next. Then if needed, try odin flashing the latest firmware, and a factory reset will possibly be required as well.

International version has leaked 4.3, can we get it ported?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468042
DO NOT FLASH this rom as I do not know if it will go perfectly or catch your phone on fire. I take no responsibility for your actions.
With that said, here it is 4.3 for the N7100 and I was hoping that a developer would be able to port it. Judging from the discussion I have been reading Knox is included and causes some problems with root but you can disable Knox from your app manager. Anyone with porting experience care to weigh in?

Hmm, yeah didnt see that. I only saw the forum sub title seeing N7105
Well maybe we'll have ours soon.

I tried flashing a couple ROMs with this base and all they did was get as far as the boot screen, and then the phone vibrated in a pattern similar to Morse code lol XD I went to recovery and restored my last ROM and all was well. I hope we see a port soon!

Nothing yet as far as I know. We are waiting for Samsung to release a kernel for our models.

[Q] On-screen phone (OSP) not supported anymore?

Hi all,
I tried to setup on-screen phone (OSP) on the G3 but it didn't work.
Installed all drivers and having a connection with LG PC Suite with no problem as well. But on-screen phone doesn't find my G3 (D855).
In another forum I found out that also the menu entry for on-screen phone is gone which was available on the G2.
I also contacted LG support in my country because of this. They even called me twice and said that they have to check for themselves if this is not supported anymore and they want to get back to me with further information.
For me this is a killer feature and one of the main reasons I switched from Samsung to LG. I cannot be that this is supported on older LG phones but on their flagship device not anymore....
That would be another giant step back for the step backward thread here...
If this is really true is there a way to port this feature from the G2 to the G3?
Have a great day.
Cheers,
JJ

Look around. I remember reading through a thread where somebody provided a solution to activate this feature.

It worked for my 851(T-Mobile G3), thanks!

Has anyone been able to get this working on the Sprint version of the G3?
I've tried countless times (just tried again) and made sure I followed the steps precisely, but to no avail.
OSP (nor does LG PC Suite) still does not recognize my phone, yet my PC recognizes my G3, allowing me transfer files.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help

Note 4 update?????

My wife's phone is downloading a114mb update right now. I was just messing around and was surprised to see something start downloading.
Edit - Looks like some new bloat called Lookout was installed. Unless that was always on here. It's a system app so all I can do is disable it.

Lookout was on mine when purchased Saturday (12/6). Is there an update log?

Hey guys we need somebody to download the update on their phone and upload it. Just DO NOT install it yet because the file will be deleted once you do. I think it's stored in a security or cache folder somewhere, I forget exactly.

Honestly I haven't read the changelog feature update list from Samsung or Sprint but I can say that it may bring some hidden suprises.... and not the good kind. I could be wrong but if you're like many people here at XDA, you might want to hold off until more information is available from somebody who can give more details on what this OTA contains and how it will effect our phones. These days carriers are getting more and more sneaky.

I have update ready also. So going to backup. I have fake system status enabled. Im on echo rom. When I get home this evening Im going to try to download and install on to0 of echo rom. Is this a good idea? Or should I flash stock firmware take update and hopefully reroot ect.

114mb its a small update. The connection issues this phone has im at the point of not caring if It breaks root permanently. Has anyone taken update and rerooted? Three blocks from a tower and struggles to hold lte.

This update is to enable the phone to work with the Gear VR device and download oculus software

Avatar installed after update
It installed Avatar in voice mail.. (animated voice mail.. seriously !!!)
Reduced RAM usage.. previously it was around 2.3-2.5/2.7 gb now it always under 2 gigs like .. 1.7/2.7 .. yeh..

Sprint Update
Hopefully this fixes the Wi-Fi issues, and adds more good stuff.

Looks like an stability update that Verizon T-Mobile n att have
Sent from my SM-N910P using XDA Premium HD app

I installed the update and it did nothing in the way of fixing the slow LTE/SPARK speeds. So it was a useless update to me. I have anew N4 arriving tomorrow from Sprint, maybe Ill be one of the lucky ones and get one that does not have the slow issue. Seems a handful of models out there don't have the slow data speeds. I wish they would address this issue before other lower priority issues.

So far this isn't available through Kies. I'm new to using Kies, should I expect it to become available any time soon? (because my phone is rooted it won't even check for OTA updates.)

Seems to fix all the lag problems I was having. But I already ordered a replacement. ?

Just switched from AT&T to Cricket

As the title states I just switched, I have run into a problem though.. I tether my phone to my computer through wifi hot spot but since I switched carriers whenever I try to hot spot now it tells me to contact AT&T to set up?? Any way to get around this?? I'm on stock4.4.2

There is a way
Dont remember how but i found it on these forums by searching
Im also on stock 4.4.2
But rooted and custom recovery
I remember i had to edit a line with sqlight editor in the system database
It was rather simple
Ill see if i can find the thread back
