Switches into and out of Roaming for no reason - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My note 2 (n7100) on Stock 4.1.2 is switching in and out of roaming for no reason at all. Yeah that's pretty much the problem.
Any known solutions?
UPDATE: After some more fiddling around this issue disappears if I select GSM only. As soon as I select GSM/WCDMA(auto) this problem instantly reappears.
Does that strike something?

My father's Note 2 does the same. It's stock and unrooted.
Try removing your SIM card and putting it back again.

[Q] Rogers Galaxy S3 4G/LTE but I'm stuck on Edge?

Hey guys, I'm using the Galaxy S3 and my current carrier is Rogers. I've always been on 4G in the area that I'm in, and with the countless roms I've installed I've never come across any problems. Today I was trying out some new roms, but when I flashed them, I noticed that it swapped from 4G to E(aka Edge). Even if I flash back to my nandroid backup or even a fresh install if the previous rom I was using, I'm still stuck on Edge. Now even though it says I'm connected to Edge, never mind reduced speed, my internet just doesn't even work at all. For some reason even if I'm connected to wi-fi, no matter what I do it says there's no connection. I've read about flashing modems, which I have tried and it seems I'm doing it wrong? I put it on to my sd, boot in to recovery and flash it, but whenever I do I just go in to an endless boot loop. I've spent the past six hours pulling out my hair and trying to get this fixed but no solution yet, so now I've put my hope in to you guys! Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
P.S. I'm sorry if I can't reply back right away, I'm currently doing night shifts at work and even though it's 9:45am here, it's technically my bed time, so I will get back to you as soon as I can!
Some extra information if it may help - The rom I was using that worked properly was Triune 2, I've played around with a few roms since, but the one that originally swapped my 4g to Edge was Mark of the Dragon 3.0.
I can think of two possibilities:
1) Some ROMs will reset your phone's internal network settings to only use specific types of networks (e.g. when I first got my phone, the CM10 build I flashed at the time disabled LTE). You can check this by dialing *#*#4636#*#*, going into "Phone information", and scrolling down to "Set preferred network type"; you'll want one of the LTE settings.
2) Reportedly, your phone's IMEI will sometimes be erased during a ROM update (check this in the Settings -> About phone -> Status menu, or in the same "Phone information" menu as above). Check here if that happened.
Hey, I gave number 1 a shot and everything was fine, so I took a look at option 2 and my IMEI isn't gone, but it's showing "0". I searched online and it seems like "0" means it's been deleted, so I'm about to give it a go and see if I can get it up and running. Anyways, thanks for the reply! I'll post and update on how everything works out.
*UPDATE* Alright, problem fixed! I'm back at 4G, everything is running smooth and fast! Took a little bit but everything is working fine, and now I know how to fix this problem if it should arise again, thanks again for the help, I appreciate it!
Hey, I'm back again. Well, I thought the problem was fixed, I was back on 4G all day until a little after I started work at around 10:30pm when my network swapped back to Edge and it's been there since(now 6:57am). My IMEI is still intact as well. I've tried flashing back to stock with odin and injecting the file to see what happens but no luck. Unfortunately I haven't reached the 10 post marker which means I can't ask for help on that part of the forum yet, so here I am in your hands once again, any help from you guys would be greatly appreciated!

Out of curiosity, have you checked the "set preferred network type" setting again?
I've also heard recently that there may be some problems with Rogers APNs in non-standard ROMs, so it might be worth checking your APN settings.
Or, it could be an LTE network outage, unlikely as that seems...
Yes I have and everything is fine. However, I was looking around at a few things some other people have done, not with the exact problem I have, but similar, I tried something out and it worked. Dial *#197328640#>UMTS>DEBUG SCREEN>PHONE CONTROL>NETWORK CONTROL>BAND SELECTION>LTE BAND PREFERENCE>LTE ALL, let it sit there for about 30 seconds and then reset the phone. Do it again, go in to BAND SELECTION and then choose AUTOMATIC, wait 30 seconds and reboot your phone again. I'm back to 4g and actually, it seems faster than when I originally had 4G, but I think I'm just used to how slow Edge is now . Although the other fix got me back to 4G as well, but then it swapped back to Edge so I'll wait for at least 24 hours before I can confirm it completely fixed. Once again thanks for the response! Most helpful forums I've been on!
It hasn't been 24 hours but I thought I'd report back while I'm on my break. I'm still at 4G so things seems to be going well, hopefully it won't go back as it seems like it will stay at 4G. So, unless I'm having troubles again, rather than waiting the 24 hours and posting an update, think of it as a good thing that I don't report anything(or at least I will, since it's my phone ) Thanks again for the help, I appreciate it!

Thanks do much for this, I had the exact same problem after flashing MiuiAndroid and Wicked Sensations. Don't know which one effed it up but it was definitely one of those two. Also, I Don't think it is a placebo effect on the speed increase, cause mine is blazing fast after implementing this fix. You should maybe re-title the thread so others in this situation can find this fix, good find and thanks again!
Just want to confirm that this particular code can only be entered from a stock dialer? I I tried entering it from cm10's dialer and it doesn't do anything.

2 things that i can think of...
1)Make sure you have the LTE option selected in your Mobile Networks.
2)Take a look at your APN settings for you carrier. Flashing roms sometimes erases these settings.
That's where i would look first...
Cheers

Please let me know if you fix this. I'm having the same problem, and playing with LTE band selection doesn't work. When I force the band selection, the phone won't even go into service. The same thing happens with WCDMA.
Apparently, the nvbackup stores more than the IMEI. Even when you replace the IMEI, nobody seems to get data back. Unless, of course, you had a backup. Which, unfortunately, I was not smart enough to do....
Hey guys, I have the exact same issue as this:
-I flashed CM10.2 from a CM10.1 nightly which wiped my IMEI. I injected the IMEI using NV-items reader/writer.
-Reloaded stock ICS rom, IMEI returned but couldn't get up from EDGE
-Tried using the peoplesarmy's removed IMEI restore tool, didn't do anything
The phone still works, only its on EDGE all the time.
Literally the only solution for me was using my warranty and getting a new phone.
REPEAT: BACKUP YOUR **** OR YOU GOTTA GET A NEW PHONE!

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Note II WIFI & 2G problems

I need help with my Note 2 (GT-N7100).
On a regular basis WIFI (and bluetooth) won't start or hangs. This occurred after I rooted the device and installed cyanogenmod cm-10.1-20130715-NIGHTLY-n7100. I should have known this rom is far from stable, but I was curious to try it. Wish I hadn't!
I removed the root (to unrooted) and reinstalled the latest stock rom from Samsung (via KIES). The problem stays the same.
I searched the net for solutions but no 100% cure so far. I tried some suggestions that I found like removing the battery, Sim and sd-card and pressing the ON-button for a minute and then rebooting. Sometimes this helps most often not...
What is curious about this is that when the device is in this state 2g indicates having several full bars even when the Sim is not installed!
Very confusing. Is this a software or a hardware problem. Can anyone help out?
Thanks from the Netherlands
Showing the bars without a sim is normal, that's how Samsung made the interface. You can try to reset phone to factory settings from the phone. See what happens.

Trouble making calls

Hi. I just upgraded my phone and my wife's phone to official T-mobile 4.3. I rooted my phone using No Tripping Flash counter image. Everything works fine until phone looses the signal and after that I need to reboot phone to make calls, if I don't reboot it just ending calls immediately after I dial. My wife is having same issue with her phone. Anybody know how to resolve this issue?

What is your Current Baseband ? Can you try after factory reset ?
I am ok with doing factory reset on my phone since it is rooted and I have Titanium Back up but my wife won't agree to it.
See if after Factory Reset AND without restoring Titanium, are you able to make calls just fine ? If yes we'll find ways for your wife.
EDIT - Try My Backup Pro for your wife in the absence of Root.

It probably is related to Bluetooth given the 2 antenna are so close. But it could be the new 4.3 Stock Rom too. After Reboot do you consistently get good signal till you use Bluetooth ?

Nope, phone is perfectly fine otherwise. I decided to see what T-Mobile support would suggest. They first wanted me to try and clear data/cache on just the Dialer app, however those options weren't available, so she took me to stock recovery and performed a cache wipe. Since the problem is sporadic, there is little else to do except to wait and see if the problem returns. They claimed this is a memory problem in the dialer app though, so I am not sure if that was a s.w.a.g. (sophisticated wild ass guess), or if it has been reported enough times for T-Mobile to actually seek out information from Samsung.

[Q] Weak GPS?

My note 3 works great, except the GPS.
Outside= no problem
Inside any building= takes 15 minutes, if it locks on at all!
My old phone has absolutely no problems in the same spot (HTC Dinc2).
Is this normal for the note 3, or should I consider a replacement?
I've tried all the "Fix-it" type apps from the playstore, with no change.
Edited: Forgot to mention that I'm still on jelly bean. Holding off on kitkat for a while.
Did anyone notice an improvement on KK, if their note had gps problems before?
Should I try a custom rom? I'm stock rooted atm.

Do a full wipe and try a custom rom. When I tried to run rooted stock my gps was putting me in a different state. Switched over to Infamous and all is right in the world again.
Download and install topNTP from the play store give it root access click install at the bottom select create files and reboot.
I use this app after every rom I flash and it gives me a gps lock in literally a couple of seconds even indoors.

Same problem here, running KK, all stock (not rooted). Lucky if I get a fix at all at times. Oddly, i've found that if I boot into recovery, do a factory reset and clear the cache, GPS works just fine till I reboot the phone. After the reboot, it reverts to the same ole GPS problems. Seems like some type of software issue to me, odd that it would exist in JB and KK though...

I have the same problems with GPS on my unlocked n900t.
It worked in the beginning and then almost stopped. I couldn't get any satellites on the street using GoogleMaps.
I wiped all the data and installed cyanogen 11 4.4.4 ROM, after that GPS was working good during the 1st day however I was loosing the signal in San Francisco downtown among the skyscrapers. But yesterday it didn't work again at all.
I tried TopNTP but it seems it didn't help at all.
BTW NFC doesn't work on Cyanogen11 either, so I can't use GoogleWallet now.
What can I do to fix that?

No sim card detected? ?

A few weeks after rooting with cf-autoroot I started getting a notification that my phones sim card wasn't being detected, and it prompts me to reboot. Running stock root with twrp recovery. If i dont reboot it just stays in the notification bar. If i do reboot it goes away for the time being. I still have service and phone still works as far as i can tell but something must be wrong. Some days it will happen 5 times sometimes it wont happen for a week but lately its happening a lot. Anyone having the same problem? Or does anyone know of a fix?

Galaxy Tools does have settings for the Sim Card you know. All I know that when I updated my Galaxy tools to the latest 3.0.8 version my problems went away. I am did not make the program so I am not going to tell you something I know nothing about. Just give it a try and see if it works what do you have to lose?
It's been happening to me the past couple days randomly. Just out of nowhere ever since the first time. Never did this before a couple days ago since I had the phone from launch day. Been on Xnote rc2 with AEL 7.2 kernel.
Edit: I just updated to newest galaxy tools, I'll report back on a day or 2. Strange though that it could be that because nothing has changed at all on my phone in weeks, and for this to just start out of nowhere.
Seems fine so far, updated galaxy tools to newest, and pressed unlocked SIM, whatever that does. I'll report back again if I get the SIM notification

I am glad you had an open mind unlike some closed minded people. Sometimes you just have to experiment and find out what you added to fix your problems. Galaxy tool does unlock the Sim Card for international travel and when I updated my updated my phone to the latest 4.4.4 ROM I started having problems. So figured maybe it might have been the Galaxy tools. So I tried updating it and I have not had any no Sim card problems for almost a month now.

Same problem with the sim card. I'm not rooted and have not used galaxy tools. I opened up the back and re-seated the SIM card (took it all the way out and put in back in) and for the heck of it the SD as well. I haven't seen the problem yet (going on 2 weeks).
