Xperia S JB (.197,.200 )2G network problem - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Ok, here's my problem , i recently upgraded to Jellybean pre rooted .200 version , my bootloader is unlocked, anyway, since i got an upgrade to jb , i am from india , and, it may be due to the new baseband version, my friends cant call me or reach me(GSM only), how should i put this, even when there's full signal level on my phone, my friends cant seem to reach me, and there was no such problem in ics .55 , anyway, this not only happens to calls, also to text messages as well, the message only reaches my phone after several minutes ,after the message has been sent from another phone,but sometimes its normal and heres the interesting thing,if i switch it to 3g signal(WCDMA only) i get it like normally, and because in my home there is little to no 3g signal at all ,i could only use GSM network, so i miss calls from my friends like 5 times a day , they shout at me, "i called you, its unreachable everytime" ,and so forth and so so, so, if theres any way i can solve this problem, like changing baseband (.55 one) if its possible? or any help would be deeply appreciated,

can someone help me with this ?

We are in the same boat, Sony has messed up 2g gprs edge in this 200, 197 release. Maybe we need to wait for India baseband. For now went back to stable gingerbread ftf

how??? plz guide me

In order to do this you need to be rooted. Then open any root explorer, best would be Rom Toolbox with build.prop editor (Performance->build.prop editor). There you add these values: net.ppp0.dns1=8.8.8.8 and net.ppp0.dns2=8.8.8.4 on the bottom of the opened file or in editor tap "+" and add them via shell.

There's no need. For some ppl it works for some unfortunately not. It needs to be deeper, coz it can establish connection. Now I don't know what is that but I'll keep looking.
PS. You can try to add same DNS on, these are net.rmnet.dns1=8.8.8.8 net.rmnet.dns2=8.8.4.4 And I have given you wrong DNS :/ All four lines should look like:
net.rmnet0.dns1=8.8.8.8
net.rmnet0.dns2=8.8.4.4
net.ppp0.dns1=8.8.8.8
net.ppp0.dns2=8.8.4.4
Check if it works But if it works, don't be so happy yet, test it for some hours before being sure - for me sometimes stops working :crying:

no,but atleast someone tried to help...and for that, i gave them thanks.. anyway, i dont have any data connectivity problems, 2g data works fine, its the network thats the problem, if i go out of signal range, then it takes a lot of time to get that 2g signal, so have to go manually search for networks everytime, even then, i always miss calls and messages !! i hope the new .211 firmware solves it !!

It didn;t work for me. I installes ROM Editor, set these values to prop file, but same issue persists.
Thanks for suggesting a try.

I tried all the stuff mentioned in this thread & other threads, too. Nothing worked. It happened after installing ICS in my phone. Now I installed GB in my phone hoping it'l resolve my issue. But even after installing previous version, same issue persists. Same is the issue if I install JB in my phone. No network in my phone. It is detecting SIM as it asks for SIM Lock password while starting a phone. WiFi is working fine. But 2g/3G doen't work at all. It shows cross sign on network bars with no signals. Please let me know what may be the issue so that I can try smthng new.
Please help.http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

I use SwitchPro and if I remember rightly, turn Data on in Settings, then use SwitchPro to turn it off and back on and see if that does it.

Fellow Arc S user in Portugal here. The issue is with the ROM that, in my case, TMN put on the phones. It is simply impossible to remove that notification, and it was the one thing that made me consider selling the phone. I tried everything, including freezing almost all system applications. If there's an easy solution, it eludes me.
I solved the issue by flashing another ROM, I used WotanClient to flash a World ROM (for free) and the problem was solved and now I find my Arc S absolutely perfect. As far as I know there's no software solution to this problem, but since reflashing solves it, you should be fine.
Boa sorte

Bouth have 2.3.4.
I give up, i have a lot of work to remove all junk etc apps of my phone, is stable and very very clean, i realy pass tho reflash que SE rom ..
PS: One of my friends updated to last version in SE update software and the problem is there, and i think this isnt a problem, is just a feature of Arc and Arc S maybe ?
If anyone have more ideias " without reflash " i will test.

Please read my message. It's a "feature" that is activated only on the Iberian version of the firmware. Flash with any other version (I'm using the UK one) and the problem is gone. There is NO other way of solving the issue.

I can't get a lock from gps in the place i'm staying with agps apps cuz none have this area mapped. but when i go in urban areas gps locks in like 10-15 secs. tested with iGO and stock 2.3.3-2.3.4-giopro 1.4-CM 7.1 rc2. so maybe its some hardware problem with your phone.
Ok! Yap. That what i'm thinking...
Mine works fine for a phone. I noticed a 10-15% decrease in signal when using the protective rubber case that might prevent the connction, so I always remove it before using nav programs. Firts I turn on GPS test to monitor the connection process and when it's done i close the app and start the navigation program.

Hello,
i think it depends on the settings in gps.conf too. For example you should use european ntp server if you are in europe etc. and you can use an other supl_host - I prefere the one from sony ericsson. But I use a galaxy s with init.d support, hope it can be used for the gio. Please correct me if im wrong.

You can edit /system/etc/gps.conf on your internal storage but it depends on kernel or rom.

Did you try the general GPS-fix via gps.conf?
The thread can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239713
Thank you so much for the reply. But who do I do on Galaxy Gio? The instructions is for a different phone...
It works well on my Gio, just take the gps.conf from the example, adapt it to your country and replace the original in /etc folder using root explorer. Your phone needs to be rooted for this, obviously. Don't forget to set the correct permissions.

Hello! I can't edit the gps.conf. So what can i do?
The easiest way is to use the one from the thread mentioned above, edit it on your PC to your preference and then copy it to yout Gio. Rename the old one to gps.bak for safety, and then copy it the edited gps.conf to /etc.
Your Gio needs to be rooted and you need rootexplorer or simolar for this to work.
Try GPS on Cyanogenmod 7.2, on my Gio works fine

I have just rooted my "new" wildfire s with cm-7-20120717-UNOFFICIAL-marvel.zip, everything works fine except gps with tracking apps (I use Sport Traker). When Gps and Sport Tracker works together the phone reboot (I have no idea when and why). I have already searched on internet and in this forum but the only track about this problem is that one:
LapakCZ said:
Hello, I use this ROM for some time as daily use. I found little problem, but I'm not sure, if it's rom-related, so I don't want to post it as bug yet. Reason why I write is maybe to find someone with same problem, so we can maybe compare apps we use etc. and find where to look now. Also any other ideas are apreciated of course.
So the thing is, that aprox. once in two or three days, phone just restart itself when I'm carying it in my pocket and don't actively use it. It happens especialy when I have app sports-tracker running (app which records GPS track etc.), but not everytime (I guess something like 1 of 4 times). It happens when phone is in my pocket, so I can't tell exactly whats happening in there, I just find phone restarted and questioning for pin (with all previously running apps closed, so I'm pretty sure, that it really restart itself).
But few times, it also happens without any background app usage. With running sports-tracker it's just more often, but it's not a rule.
It's quite hard to lagcat it or anything, because I can't find a way, how to call this error on purpose. Also, only pattern I see there is, that it's more likely to happen with sports-tracker running, but as I said, It's just more likely, definitely not a rule.
I would apriciate any ideas, at least where to look next, or what to try, to find out more, about this...

You need to me send /proc/last_kmsg after a reboot. See the Bug section in the first post and the FAQ in the 3rd.

Hi.. İ tried and there is no change

Did you restart your phone after change/amend?
I can't see any difference.
No problem
I think It was just a few countries that had this kind of problem.
Here in Brazil I have non of this.
I dont know if we need to modify this buildprop, we need some dev to comfirn that we can use it (or modified version by someone).
Ok guys, i was talk to iris , and she says that this mode we can use but cant be guaranted that will make diference or work better then before.
Also she advise that we can flash baseband and that should probably fix our problems.
how to flash baseband.The baseband doesnt changes
