AT&T Note II sporadic no signal and phone number - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

I appreciate any help I can get.
So I tried Cleanrom and now paranoid android. I also tried doing the T Mobile aws mod. I've reverted back to the backup I had because after doing the T mobile mod I was getting sporadic disconnects from the cell network. Now I'm on AT&T and it seems when the phone goes into sleep mode and I turn it on the signal shows no bars. Then a few minutes later its connected. I've researched and found some info regarding the imei and efs partition. I have no files in the efs folder on the sd card and my imei number is correct in the status in the phone settings. Funny thing is sometimes under status sometimes it says phone number unknown.
I have no idea what I should do at this point.
Thanks

Did you flash the phone back to stock with Odin and a stock tar file?

Actually yes. I used the note II toolkit and downloaded the stock romantic from Odin. Problem I had was it wouldn't boot so I tried paranoid android. But even before this when I had the T mobile simple I was having the same issues.

There are times when I flash back to stock that I have to do another FULL wipe after the flash.
I flash the stock ROM via Odin. When and if it hangs during bootup, I simply pull the battery and reinstall it. I immediately boot into the stock recovery and do a full factory and cache wipe. Reboot and I'm back in the fight.

That worked. Thank you. But I still seem to be having trouble with the modem, or I'm assuming it's the modem. The signal jumps very sporadically from 4G to G to 3G then no cellular signal at all. It's weird and starting happening in the last week or so. My wife tried calling me 4 times throughout the day and they never came through. Funny thing is if I use the phone for a few minutes the signal will come back for a little bit then disappear.

Have you tried moving the SIM card around? shifting it slightly to the left or right and see if you get signal again?

Not the sim card. Seen this issue on SEVERAL Note 2`s... Its the NEWEST AT&T modem that caused this issue and usually flashing back to the old one still doesnt help. I got mine replaced and it fixed it!

[Q] Network Issue with rooted T-Mobile Galaxy S3

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

ATT GS3 losing Data Network randomly

This is the Task650 and Ktoonsez AOKP. VERSION: d2att(4.1.2 JZ054K) from December 2nd release.
My data network goes in and out at random. It actually started happening about 4 days ago on an older build by Task650 & Ktoonsez but I saw the new one so wiped dalvik and Partition cache and rom'ed. Even after flashing the new ROM, data is acting the same way. It is completely random, happens when the phone is in use or when it is locked. I can tell when data connects for short spurts because I hear the notices for new emails. All in all today, I've maybe had 5 minutes of HSPA/3G data and the rest all I have is cellular network for calls. reception strong, and I am in areas where I always have good connection and speed.
Any ideas? Kind of frustrating if I am out to lunch and want to catch up on things (stuff is blocked at work). Also I am paying for data I can't use :/
fully wipe and reflash.. try a different modem

I am admittedly new to flashing, I just assumed everything was in the package. I flash the ROM and Gapps, is there a source for different modems?
This is definite disconnect of data DHTP. Can't get anywhere, and there is no symbol where there usually is on the reception bar. When it comes back for brief moments, it has either HSPA, 3g, etc.... on the bar.
are you able to send and receive calls? text?
I flashed that rom three days ago, and i had to replace it via warranty. it showed it had signal, but couldnt make any calls or text at all. then i Odin back to stock never worked again.
Don't think it has to do with any rom. Noticed that my wife's sgs3 has had a problem sending and receiving texts and the network drops a lot as well. She is completely stock with the jelly Bean update. My network has been a little suspect over the last few days also. Might just be the service.

Hey Guys, I may have found the culprit...sort of.
The wife has an iP5 and she said to me while we are driving to a holiday party 'I finally have official 4G LTE on my phone'. To which I of course ask what she means. Apparently the same day I started not being able to connect to data networks, is actually the day that ATT fired up their 4G LTE tower(s) in the Lehigh Valley area. When I do get data on occasion, it's when I bump down to 3G and HSPA. Unfortunately, the ROM has a bug where I cannot force it to look for just 3G, I go to save the setting and it immediately jumps back to LTE.
I may just have to flash to a version that definitely supports 4G LTE data. This issue occurred before I flashed to newest ROM, so it has something to do with the core build or modem that both versions use.
Ngriffin, if you find any successful modems please let me know. I like the ROM but I can't go without a data connection much longer.
So, for those who care, I flashed Gapps and also Flashed a new modem (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898) version UCLG1 and it's a no go. A few in my area said it worked great for them so now I am a bit discouraged. Northeast Pennsilvania Area.

Versions tried:
LG1 -------------Did not work
LEM

LK3 -------------Works but only 3G data.

More info, tested using the Wife's Ip5 and realized we don;t have LTE at our house, so I'll have to wait until we get withing range of the LTE tower(s) to see if it has an issue. However, I now have data reliably.

That's normal. LTE is data only and isn't used for phone calls.
I've been running Task's AOKP on my SGS II and III for a while with no data issues. Check your APN settings. If you're in an LTE area, you should be able to sit on the ATT LTE APN and have no problems, even away from LTE coverage.

To update further, LK3 modem worked for a short while, but once I left the area of my immediate cell tower and it had to connect to another tower, it couldn't. I flashed ALL modems in my list a post above and NONE work. I'm kind of pissed right now.
Any ideas? I'll probably to a full backup and then flash a completely different ROM and cross my fingers. Is there an official JB stock ROM sans the bloatware that is stable and can connect to LTE (or any data network reliably for that matter)?
It was my APN *facepalm* Thanks for the suggestion. It was sitting on wap.cingular instead of the LTE and it was causing the issue. I'm on modem CLH1 and it is working, I have the 4G (3G) symbol now and data is connecting. Well, I learned something thanks! :victory:

I started having issues with mine about the same time. I haven't been able to figure it out yet. I had just gone to JB and flashed a new ROM. Then started noticing not just data being very spotty but also my calls (both incoming and outgoing) were very spotty too. Both seemed to only work about 50% of the time. I have since completely wiped and factory reset twice. I even Odin'ed back to a stock Rout66 jelly bean system but I still have issues
I have updated my APN to ATT PTA but that hasn't helped. What APN settings did you go with? Is ther some specific for LTE coverage? On the stock system now I can actually see the LTE icon when it actually chooses to connect.
Also, where did you find other modems. I was told in another forum not to flash any that weren't specific to Jelly Bean and all I have found is the stock I747UCDLK3 which is already on my phone. I did try flashing that seperately just to see if that would help but did not.
I need to get my phone working pronto as it is my main phone for both business and personal phone calls. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I thought they changed the APN to "ATT PHONE"? Trying to find those details now.

When you're on stock, only thing you can do is check with your carrier and they'll either tell you that it's something on their end being worked on or that your SIM card is faulty.
This happens to me on tasks AOKP ROM at least once per day, but it usually only happens when I turn on LTE. Basically what happens is the phone has cellular service but no data, after a few minutes it comes back. What I have noticed is that its to do with LTE so maybe there's a problem with that?

Task's AOKP doesn't set the default APN to LTE for Rogers so you might wanna make sure it's your default APN.

[Q] No data connection 4G/2G/E

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:

Losing Data Connection on Idle

Hi all,
Im on Viper Rom 6.2.1 Rom, Elite Lunar Kernel, and latest OTA radio.
My 4G connection is great when connected, I hit the 40s and 50s download speed.
The problem im having is that when the data connection is idle for like 30 seconds, all of a sudden I lose data connection. the 4G LTE logo is still showing but the download/upload activity arrows no longer flashes. It goes back when I turn mobile data off then on again. Then I lose connection again when idle.
What could be the problem?
Thanks

I just had a similar problem recently like this. Turns out i burned out my 4g sim card. Before changing roms or firmware i would suggest going into a VZW store and get a new one. They are free, they dont even look at the phone. Just tell them LTE connectivity isn't working correctly and that the sim card is bad. they will give you another one.

Thanks. I figure it was probably the sim card. I will try that.
I am having a similar situation. I have data loss after having hotspot on for a little while and any type of reboot is the only remedy (restart of shell, full reboot, adb reboot, etc). I already swapped Sims at the Verizon store, tried different roms, tried flashing different firmware and radio combinations. Any suggestions?

I too am having similar issues, though it appears more random than associated with using hotspot.
Every few hours, all radio connectivity but Wifi shuts off. I get the no service icon in the status bar. Only a reboot fixes the issue.
Running teamEcliptic Rom 4.4.3 v1.4, kernel: EliteLunar 3.4.10, baseband: 1.13.41.0421, build: 6.06.401.1.
Soff, unlocked, root, etc.
When I have time to spare plan to restore a stock rom (keeping S-off though) to see if that fixes the issue.
Any advice from those more versed in the One M7 would be appreciated!

[SOLVED] GALAXY S3 i747 stuck on edge!

Ok have had this problem for a while now feel like i should try to address it now.
my s3 is stuck on 2g (edge) the frequencies for 3g and 4g ( technically 3.5g or H+)are all supported by my carrier (jamaica - Digicel) i payed someone to fix it a while back and it worked and now it has stoped working again.
when i try to force 4g ( via *#*#4636#*#) i get it for a couple seconds and then signal drops.
also from the 4g stoped working i have noticed my calls dropping more frequently even when data is turned off.
any advice leading to a fix would be greatly appreciated
