Losing service - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

I searched and didn't find anything. So my problem is I have a stock i317. I randomly lose service. Sometimes it's just data, I'll have 3 or 4 bars but no data. Other times it is everything just the no service symbol. I usually turn airplane mode on and off and everything comes back. Any idea what the problem could be ? I just updated ota to ucamh3. Hoping that would solve the problem but there is no change.

Some devices had internal antenna issues that required a repair /replacement ....
If a stock rom is used and the device has been factory wiped ...but you still get antenna issues ...
The device may have a problem ..
It's not uncommon ...
And if the device is truly stock and no tampering has occurred ...then the odds of a hardware issue certainly go up...g

I found what works with my phone is a quick smack to the thing. On the side or the back Im not sure I hit it a few times. Then it goes from not being able to find a network to having full signal strength. Im not hitting it hard enough to hurt it. I hope this continues to work for me.
(Update)
Upon further testing smacking it does not seem to make a difference. We are on Straight talks BYOP sim plan using AT&T towers. My wifes skyrocket does it sometimes and has Cyanogenmod Rom. And my note2 I just got and immediately flashed with Pac Man Rom does it a lot. Cyanogenmod Rom has some of Pac Man rom built in it hmm. My skyrocket never does it and it is still stock 2.3.6. Im thinking of doing a nandroid backup of my hard work setting up my Note2 and then flashing back to stock to see if it still does it. Or try to see if it only does it on a low charge. Or only wail plugged it. Or flashing a different radio, or different modem or baseband how ever you are supposed to say it.
Right now my Note2 is on baseband I317UCAMCE.
My working Skyrocket I727UCLD2.
Wifes Skyrocket I727UCLL3

Yea i have tried different roms now. It was official.tried a couple diff roms. Just did the new leak and sll having same problem.

Iam having a very similar issue with my Note 2(sgh-1317).
If you could please walk me through this. Permissive and Enforced are both greyed out using WanamSELinuxModeChanger. It is rooted(CF-AUTO-ROOT), os IS 4.3, IMEI under battery matches IMEI as listed under [SettingsAbout Device/Status] as well as that listed using Android System Info from play store. Radio is "UNKNOWN", KNOX status empty
This is the 4th phone, all note 2s, that I've had "No Mobile Network" issues with since I originally got this device last Christmas(2012).
the 1st 3 were replaced under warranty by AT&T. But now I'm on Straighttalk and rooted and the issue remains.There is an iPhone 4S in the house, also on Straighttalk, that has no network connection issues at all. I have verified APNs etc etc and am at a total loss.
Any help is much MUCH appreciated.
thanks

[WIP] Google Wallet 4.2 Version For Galaxy Note

Heya all... I got wallet to at least run on my phone with a card loaded... All I did was use the 4.2 build of google wallet... Changed my build.prop to that of a google nexus... And I had already linked my card to my wallet on the website prior to installing the app... Worked like a charm... But... Haven't completely tested it yet (hence WIP)... I went to McDonalds and the machine recognized my phone... And my phone said that it had sent the info, but it never cleared... It said to ask cashier to check for further instructions... But... The guy behind the counter had NO clue, and there were others waiting, so I didn't test further... Just wanted to share my experience... Just to let you know I'm running stock rooted...
http://dgrillman.com/filez/wallet.apk - APK File for 4.2 Version...
build.prop
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro
Another thing... Don't know if this had ANYTHING to do with it at all... But for some reason it didn't work the first time I tried to install... But the second time it went through... The second time the only thing different was that I had the back off of my phone... Don't know if it had anything to do with the NFC antenna, or if it was just a strange coincidence...
Ok would I have to remove the current Google wallet? I wonder why no dev has looked into this

In reality I can add the card information but google does not allow me to add the card to my device. So that is why it does not work for me. I am just going to reinstall Jellybomb and wait until they make some progress with the Cyanogenmod 10. I had a feeling this would be a waste of time. So the the apk in the original flagged my device as lost and deactived google wallet from my device.

Unless you provide a logcat, there's nothing Task can do about it and has to assume it's a problem with the app. He doesn't provide support for 3rd party app (nor should he).

[Q] d2usc - 4G issues

Hey all, I'm at my wits end trying to figure out what's going on with my phone/service. First off I hope this is the correct forum since none of them officially address the US Cellular version of the S3.
So what is happening is that my device seems to only want to connect to 3G. I am running the latest nightly for CM 10.1. It all started last week while I was in the twin cities on data roaming for a few days. On my drive back to Wisconsin I notice I would go in and out of 4G service.. by the time I hit home I was on solid 3G service. This was last Friday. I knew there was some work going on the towers in the area as my brothers 4G service started working on Sprint. I just assumed it was something to do with that.
By Sunday and still on 3G, I called tech and they did everything under the sun to try to get me back on 4G to no avail. They ended up sending me a new phone. When the new phone arrived on Tuesday I did a factory reset on the old phone just to clear everything before sending it to them and I noticed it went back on to 4G. This was on the stock ROM, rooted still.
So I switched the phone over to the new one and sure as hell, comes up in 4G. I replaced the recovery and restored a backup I had.. phone pops up.. 3G. :crying:
I did a factory reset a few times and nothing.. still would only come up in 3G mode. I then restored a backup I had for the stock ROM and what do you know.. 4G. Flashed a fresh download of the stable 4 snapshot.. 3G.. then I did a factory reset and what do you know .. 4G.. reboot the phone.. back on 3G.. Tried AOKP.. 3G..factory reset.. 3G.. Back to CM 10.1 nightly.. 3G.. factory reset.. 4G.. reboot.. 3G.
I cannot figure out what the hell is going on.. it clearly isn't hardware as it's now happened on two phones. I thought it might have had to do with being on data roaming for a few days so I waited until the data billing cycle finished (the 6th) but no luck.
I'm at wits end.. I will try anything at this point to get it working again with CM/AOKP.. doesn't matter.. just want my 4G back!
Your phone does not have 4G, It has HPSA.
On AOSP/AOKP, your connection will show up as 3G until it's being used. Let's see some speedtests.
Don't go by what it says in the ststus bar. What does it say inder Settings > About Device > Mobile Network type?
Now go start a large download, like a rom or something. While its downloading check again and post what you see.

Speeds
Thanks for the quick responses guys..
First thing was my status bar was showing 4G for about a year.. it was just recently I started having the issue. I used to get about 20Mb/sec down and now I'm getting about 800Kb-1.5Mb. It's clearly much slower than it was.
And the network type is CDMA - EvDo rev A:6
Try going under Settings, More Settings, Mobile Networks, and try a different network mode.
Sent from my SGH-T999L using xda premium
Its selected as LTE/CDMA/EvDo. The only other option is CDMA/EvDO. I think it's set correctly.
What about Network Operators? Have you tried checking or trying a different one?
Sorry, I just don't know much about the usc model.
What is the model# btw.

Not sure what you mean by network operators but the CDMA subscription is set to RUIM/SIM (which it should be) and the System Select is on Automatic and not Home Only.
Model is SCH-R530U
Under mobile networks you can manually search for and then select an operator.
Judging by your model number, you will likely find more and better help and probably others with your phone in the Verizon forum. (Possibly Sprints, but most likely Verizon)

Everything I've read involves going back to stock, factory reset, and reflashing. Is there any way to resolve this without reverting to stock? Or is that the only way? - Does it need to be unrooted? And also, one thing I was curious about, I have a stock backup, would flashing that, and then reflashing to a current CM backup do anything, or does it need to be a clean flash?
I would go totally back to stock and start over. It wouldn't even take more than an hour to do everything.

Yup, if you're having problems, taking shortcuts often result in more problems and more time involved than just starting over clean.

That's strange. Have you searched the rom thread to see if anyone else reported the same thing?
If they haven't, and you want to still use it, I'd backup and then wipe all data, including internal sd. Then flash the rom from a new download. Then test before adding anything back on.

I looked for anyone reporting issues like mine and I didnt find any. I wiped the phone entirely and was unable to get it to work without the voice being all messed up. I think I may have to just keep regular Stock Root on the device for now but the thing that confuses me is the fact that my device is fine and hers isnt..
It could be a minor defect in a certain part, or just due to "no two chips are truely equal".
It is quite odf. Hopefully someone else may have an idea, but you may want to look into warranty options.
Actually, you could try flashing a custom kernel such as ktoonsez. See if that helps.

I tried the ktoonsez kernal and it still did it..I also put it to just pure touchwiz with root and it was worse then before..I am looking into warrenty options now because this is beyond weird now. Thank you for all the help with this!!
That may be your best option, especially if its doing it all stock now too.
If you wanted to try one more thing, you could see if flashing an audio mod would help. (beats ir something like that)
Can't remember what's available for our phone, but check the sticky in Themes and Apps section and you should find a link in there.

Problem after update

After I updated my phone to 4.4.2 I lose service and have to restart my phone multiple times a day to get service back. I called T-Mobile and after resetting the phone they said they would replace it. Then I called Samsung and they said to bring it to best buy to have it reflashed. I can go there but I could also flash it via Odin at home. Now my question is, if I flash the stock rom via Odin will it trip the Knox counter? I read that it won't and I read that it can. I just want to make sure it won't before I flash it incase I have to have it repaired or replaced.

I can go there but I could also flash it via Odin at home. Now my question is, if I flash the stock rom via Odin will it trip the Knox counter? I read that it won't and I read that it can. I just want to make sure it won't before I flash it incase I have to have it repaired or replaced.

Did you update it officially or via a ROM flashed in a custom recovery?

I would try flashing the stock official update through Odin. That's pretty much what best buy is going to do.

That's what I was thinking. I just wanted to make sure that wouldn't trip the Knox counter going through odin. I wouldn't think so but I read somewhere when I did a Google search that someone said it did.

So long as it's a 100 percent stock ROM it shouldn't. It only trips if system partition or a custom recovery are detected.

Well I flashed the stock rom from sammobile yesterday morning and so far so good. I haven't had a problem since. Tmobile said there is no way I could flash the firmware again even though I knew I could through odin, just wasn't sure if I used odin if it would trip the Knox counter. I didn't want to replace my phone that is in mint condition through tmobile and get who knows what in return so I called Samsung and they said to go to best buy to have it reflashed. I saved myself a trip by doing it myself. thank you elesbb for your help.

Yeah, i hate getting replacements from them. I no longer have insurance as any repairs (aside from shattered screen, this denotes an upgrade ) i will just do myself. I have gotten replacements for my S3 through them and they ALL were horrible. I ended up having to take apart both phones when they sent me the new one and made a good working one out of it and reassembled the bad pieces into a bad phone and sent that one back. Ha. It was pathetic. lol.
Always come here before swapping out your phone or anything. There is so much information available and helpful people anyone can really solve their own problems.

Well I spoke too soon. I had to restart my phone again to get service back. The problem is still there. I had data but no cell service. Even if I turn airplane mode on then back off to reset it it still doesn't work. I have to restart my phone. Do you think it could possibly be a simple card issue? It started the day after I updated my phone when 4.4.2 came out.

It could be a SIM card issue. Do you have another phone you could test the SIM card with?

I'm going to go to the tmobile store today to get a new one and hopefully that's it. I tried to get a replacement for my girlfriend's phone and got 3 that I sent back because they were worse and just kept hers so I don't want a replacement from them

After replacing my SIM card on Friday, it's been good. I figured I'd give it a few days before I said something this time. It's weird that it happened right after I updated to kit kat

I've had SIM related issues before. Sometimes an older SIM card won't work correctly with a system update. With a new card problems disappear. Let's hope this is the case for you.

in the same boat
Ever since I got the OTA Kit Kat my phone is in nightmare mode. Wifi wont stay on or ever even come on. Wake screen freezes and numerous other issues. I got same responses from TMO and Sammy and have spent 100 hours on here searching for HOW to fix. Ive used Odin 307 and 309 with various files CWM OUDHS, etc and never get anywhere. Just fails with "no PIT" errors every time.
Ive rooted phones before with NO problems , G2, and other HTCs, but Sammy driving me nuts.Im assuming its because I have 4.4.2
So your saying using Odin with a stock ROM will work? or errors again? samobile the site you need to pay to join right?
Ive seen THOUSANDS of people with SAME issues, various carriers as well as S4s and Nexus
Im so stinking frazzled from this

What do you have checked in Odin? And are you flashing 4.4.2 firmware?

Well either way you'll never get anywhere without 4.4.2 because you said that's what you have.. It won't flash anything below that so try 4.4.2
