I just got a G2. perm rooted it. and everytime upon booting up it has signal for 1 second then literally just disappears and never comes back. can't choose mobile network or anything because it can't search for it. tried doing *#*#infor#*#* and it says GSM ONLY and everytime i try to change it to WCDMA PREFERRED it keeps reverting back as soon as i exit. the only way i've been able to get signal back so far is to connect to wifi and enable wifi calling, then after disconnecting i'm able to get signal and i'm able to check the WCDMA PREFERRED option but awhile ago i was on wifi calling then left my house and it was disconnected but wasn't able to get signal again.
can anyone help me with what i should do because although i might be able to get it back through wifi calling, this will be very problematic whenever i'm not near my normal wifi locations...
thanks for the help
Eh... I would try reinstalling a stock rooted rom.

Is it factory unlocked? Have you used an unlock code? Have you tried the full radio s off, super Cid thing?

I wonder if your SIM card is faulty, needs cleaning, or is just a bit loose in the socket.

This is what it sounds most like to me. Also try to install another rom since you have it rooted now and see if that fixes the issue. Make sure you do a Nandroid backup first though!

I never put an unlock code and I'm still on tmobile. I called them and so far I haven't had trouble with signal as much but my number doesn't show up under status in about phone settings...it just says unknown. Its only on this phone though, my n1 shows my number with this sim.

Just so we're clear.. Did this phone/sim combo work OK before your rooted the phone?

No it wasn't. For the past couple of days since calling tmobile, its been significantly better but today I did randomly have that same problem of no connection, but mostly right now my problem is my g2 not being able to read my phone number in "status" under "about phone" settings but it does on my n1. When I called tmobile they tried sending my number ota 3 times with no luck...

During the first 30 days you can go to a TMO store and get a new phone, pretty much "no questions asked". I'd go ahead and do that if I was you. Oh, go to a corporate store though, not a mall kiosk.
While you're there, get a new SIM, too. All free of charge.
If you still have the same problem after that, I'd try an exorcist
Is this problem solved now ? I got the same problem but have no chance to return it back.
If there is the way to solve it, could you please inform and share
Thx

My signal problems seemed to be resolved, at least for the past week. It was resolved by calling tmobile customer support and they did some tests. However, my phone not recognizing my phone number under settings> about phone> status, is still a problem. Even tried getting a new sim and still didn't solve the problem. Did numerous OTAs with tmobile that didn't work. My number still shows up on caller id and stuff its just that menu thing. Sounds insignificant but some apps use that to determine your phone number. Also, when putting my sim back into my nexus one, it does show my number...

Have you got another device for checking? Put the SIM into another device for checking wether it goes there or not. Second, call your provider. Most of the time its something wrong with provider network.
Since your device is able to get mobile network in certain areas, it is most probably a provider problem.
I hope it helps!

Got exact same problem here. Thought I was the only one. Weird enough only at my home. Inside a radius of 200 meters.
Factory reset doesn't work, New sim doesn't work, flashing custom rom doesn't work. APN settings checked and they were ok.
I contacted my provider to see if the problem on their side. Because I have the problem only at home.
Will keep you updated as soon I know more about it.
@edit:
When the problem first encountered here, I used a tool called "Shark" and "Shark Viewer" to capture my network traffic. Sites and apps are responding back, but the packets that I get were 0 in size. They were almost all empty, only the Google Talk app was able to send packets which actually contains data.
Today i will change my handset in a new one. Them i will test it again with the same simcard on the same place. I will update here.

If u have rooted ur phone u have a fix.
Otherwise u have to wait for HTC to bring a fix via OTA.
Chances are this problem always existed for you and others from the beginning but you just didn't notice it because it is very scenario-specific.
Phone must be OFF the charger and it only happens at night times (12am-7am or something like that) to BOTH wifi and mobile data...
Hope this helps some

The WCDMA Network in my area is also very, very low. Sometimes the network never comes up!
But when I get out of my house and am in the open space, network slowly strengthens automatically.
Try not to hold the phone by touching at the bottom where 'beatsaudio' is written. The anteanna is over there. Hold the phone upside down and keep it high in an open space. It should catch the network. :laugh:
Thanks Paresh Kalinani, but the problem it doesn't resolve the problem :/ Sometimes I have the "3G logo", and the upload arrow near the logo is on. But the download one is always off, and after a few seconds, the logo disappear, and the GSM is also down.
Looks like you haven't activated 3G Services on your phone...
Have you "activated 3G" on your phone?
I'm in India using an Airtel SIM. I need to activate 3G Services before using it in WCDMA Network... otherwise it doesn't work.
Activate 3G on your phone and make sure mobile data is left to use.
the problem is, in phone, because I had the same problem as friend from France.
Before was working 3G without problems, now not. I tried also to put the sim card in another phone, and there is working. The phone operator, changed me also the sim card. And nothing helpd. This week I will claim it, and we will see what was the problem.....
Unlocked bootloader goes to the Service Center!!

After you activate 3G Services on your phone, you HAVE TO go o Settings-Mobile network-Network Type-WCDMA Only. Only then you'll latch into 3G Mode.

hello everyone,
I have my GSM galaxy nexus running aokp_maguro_milestone4 , 3.0.8franco kernel and xxkl1 radio baseband. I used to have no problems with my phone at all until I went on vacation to Spain (I live in Germany) in Spain I had signal but ever since I came back my phone has almost (in the time span of 48 hour it had maybe 1 hour of signal) constantly no signal from my mobile provider (BASE). I have tried reflashing the radio ( I had xxkl2 so I reflashed that and then flashed xxkl1), I have also tried turning phone off and on and leaving it 1 night without battery. any help??
thanks
Check your APN settings, if they are correct try to make a new APN profile from scratch.
checked apn and they were OK. made a new apn with values I found online and still no luck? should I maybe just restore everything to default and flash the stock from?

APN settings are only for data. They do not impact signal.
Go to Settings->More->Mobile network settings->Network operators and either select "Select automatically", or pick one from the list.

Swiftkey'ed on my CM9 Galaxy Nexus
Hi guys,
So I am still having this problem, but an interesting thing happened. I decided to stick the sim card of my gf (she uses another carrier which supposedly uses the same infrastructure as my carrier) and I had full coverage. After that I changed the sim again and had coverage on my line, but after a couple of hours of bad coverage it just never found signal again.
So what on earth could possibly be wrong and what can I do to solve this problem?
I would consider a new ROM, but this doesnt seem to be the problem.

Swiftkey'ed on my CM9 Galaxy Nexus
Hey Everyone,
I have been going through hell troubleshooting this fone for a week now. I would like to have this thread to keep a log of what has been going on. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Back story
Got phone from eBay. I know, I know. It is a prototype etched with "Not For Sale CB5XXXXXXX" on the front of the bezel (numbers hidden for privacy). The phone is in immaculate condition with a perfect screen and absolutely zero scratches. It appears to be used very little. It had a screen protector installed so perfectly that it wasn't even noticed by the seller. Also, it came with a white back cover but the bezel is blue. All these facts leave me with some questions.
The sticker under the battery reads:
Sony Ericsson
MoP 1251.18 11W19
Type: AAD - 388087 - BV AA CB5
Prototype not for sale S1 1251-5447.18
Not Type approved Prototype build: TP Blue AT&T
There are 2 bar codes and S/N and some other numbers and Made in China after that.
(If any of the above number should be kept private please let me know and I will remove them.)
More Back Story
Phone works 100% stock with my T-Mobile SIM card. I can get into fastboot fine. I can successfully flash superuser to get root on the stock ROM. I can then flash kernels too. I verified that it is unlocked with the Sony unlock code.
Here is where it gets good.
When I flash ROMS, all hell breaks loose. Gin2Jelly worked great! I had partitioned my SD card and loaded all my apps with Titanium Backup and was about to use it as a daily driver..... until I inserted the SIM. No service. SIM works fine in other phones.
Then I started trying other ROMS. The would flash okay. After booting and waiting the prescribed 10 mins as usual for all ROMs multiple issues arose. No icons, H/W buttons not functioning, etc.
This is where I am at. What could be going wrong?
Set your apn settings manually for tmobile.

Hmmm.... I forgot to mention one other issue. On Gin2Jelly, I tried that and was unable to set them at all. They wouldn't save. I was so frustrated. If I set the Name, APN, MMSC and backed out without saving the new APN would show up in the list. Once I set the MCC and MNC, and either saved or backed out, the new APN disappeared.
The SIM card simply would not be recognized. I even tried an app called Tweakker APN INTERNET MMS that is supposed to help with this glitch and no go.
Thanks for the reply. I wish it was that simple.

Just tried Turbo Gamer Edition. NO SERVICE!!!! I guess I'm not going to get this phone working. The ROM loads fully but I cant enter any APN settings. They won't save. Tweakker East Internet and MMS app not detecting SIM card either. This effin blows.

Question - Would your T-Mobile SIM work on the stock ROM? Mine seems to function fine once I enter the APK settings. I thought that if it is SIM Locked that I wouldn't be able to use my T-Mo SIM on stock ROM.

My SIM won't work in other ROMs so it won't let me set APN settings. I've tried that app as well. The app only works if it can detect a SIM card. The phone won't even detect a SIM card unless I am on FTF R800a_3.0.1.B.0.270_ATT.ftf. This is my main issue. Does this mean I am SIM locked?

So here is a run-down of what I just did.
1. Flashed R800a_3.0.1.B.0.270_ATT.ftf via Flashtool in Quickboot mode
2. Booted into stock ROM and inserted SIM card and was able to browse and make calls.
3. Entered bootable recovery wih Quckboot
4. Flashed Lupus 720p
5. Booted into stock ROM and was still able to call and browse
6. Made a NANDroid backup
7. Wiped Cache/Dalvik
8. Installed Gin2Jellybean 2.4.0 from Lupus CWM
9. Booted, waited 10, rebooted
10. SIM not detected. Unable to enter APN settings. Tweakker APN app says "Your SIM card cannot be used. Please make sure your SIM card is inserted and you are in an area with GSM signal and then restart the process..."
I don't understand how my SIM can work in OEM ROM but can't in all other ROMs.
Am I doing something wrong? Should I try another FTF?

Gotcha. My bad. I been troubleshooting this for like 2 weeks. Not really sure, LOL!
So,
I hooked up with Alejandrissimo who was able to properly unlock my phone. He said that it was unlocked previously with some copycat tool rather than the one he used. The copycat tools touch the hardware side of the device and the original tool doesn't. This prevented the usual method of unlocking and more steps were needed. This test involved the "Testpoint" method. This required me to remove the sticker under the battery and use a paper clip ( I also tried a small wire but the paper clip worked best) to short one contact to a ground spot for the battery while plugging the USB in and then clicking a button on the tool on my screen. All the while, Alejandrissimo was remoted into my PC and helping me along the way. This is almost necessary because both of your hands are tied up with the paper clip and USB plug. It was intense, LOL. Of course I donated to him for his time.
I am still testing. It seems to be randomly rebooting after R800a_4.0.2.A.0.79.ftf, / LuPuS_zeus_Stock-gB+iCsv5 / Gin2JellyBean v2.4.0.
UPDATE After flashing a stable firmware, LuPuS_zeus_GingerBreadv10-ram.img, and Gin2Jelly, sadly my SIM card is still not detected yet worked in the ROM on the phone after the process was done.

Ay one point I had the at&t firmware Nd it worked fine. However I am in nxt l.e. and it works great. And in my area I get hspa+ (5-7mbps down/ 1-3mbps up)
I had to look up the T-Mobile apn settings. Just install the app tweaker from the Google play store. Its automatic, make sure your on wifi. It will look up the correct apn settings for tmpbile USA or whatever/wherever and install. No issues after that.

Any of those will work on your R800at , I flashed [.79] without problems. I have flashed them all in the past and I have used my device on T-Mobile and AT&T. Also don't worry about the whole R800a and R800at thing, they are basically the same phone, both capable of HSPA+ just released in different regions of the world. Which is why all of those firmwares will work on your phone. The [.270] is not the most current ATT firmware though, [.285] is.
Also you should note, that flashing a stock firmware is only for setting partition sizes and the baseband, after you flash a custom kernel and rom, most of the stock firmware you flashed in the FTF is gone. It is just good practice to flash a stock firmware and also gives you a clean install to easily troubleshoot from.
Per your OP though, I can tell you that booting up after flashing something and having no icons and hardware buttons not working is a wrong firmware problem, whether it be the FTF or the Rom you flashed.
I do know that every Gsm firmware has booted on my R800at without problems, which makes me wonder if some of your problems could be due to the fact your R800at was only a prototype and its hard to say what was modified for the actual release compared to yours and even compared to ozzmanj's

His prototype sounds like mine (see photos) I have flashed several ROMS before settling on NXT LE. And I had no issues with any of them. Again though I did have to hit up Alejandrissimo to sim unlock it as my bootloader was unlocked when I got it. Only difference was mine was the standard black and no AT&T branding.
