Hey guys, I recently purchased a G2 and proceeded to root it (already had the OTA update). After rooting it, I put the Virtuous v0.8.0 ROM because I like the Sense interface (old Aria user). However, ever since installing this ROM, I am only able to get an 2G or Edge connection. If I select WCDMA only I can see HSPA/3G connection but with only 0-1 bars (and rarely 2 bars) making me think it's unreliable. Is there anything I can do or will I have to revert back to stock ROM?
Thanks.
Try Cyanogen's rom.
You're not the first one to have this problem after flashing a new rom.
Ok, I'm going to backup my ROM and try Cyanogen. Thanks for the quick reply.
EDIT: Still stuck on Edge even on Cyanogen
I had a similar question in Q and A.
My problem was that I could not get a data connection unless I had an HSPA connection.
From my research ( I have both Enom and CM roms on my phone) this all has something to do with the radio.
Someone else in another thread was having 3g and 4g problems and mentioned the radio issue.
I went back to the stock root rom and I have everything back.
Have not tried installing the stock radio on Enom or the CM rom.
If anyone wants to try it I would love to hear if it works.
Any ROM I use, data roaming does not connect. I went back to completely stock ROM and it works fine. Yes I have data roaming enabled on each ROM. Any ideas?
Assuming your going from stock 4.0/4.1 to a newer 4.2 image, did you flash all of the most recent radio images when flashing the rom? I noticed a drop in the reliability of my signal when I went to 4.2 until the latest Toro+ radios got posted a few days back, now everything is back to normal. Also, did you update your PRL? Not sure if it would make a huge difference, but I always make a habit of updating the PRL & Profile whenever I flash a newer android version or when a new rom seems to be causing roaming signal issues - seems to help most of the time.

I've had this issue on every single radio that came out. I'm on the latest GH. PRL is up to date.
No one has this same issue?
I went out of town and lost phone and mms . I still had internet access. Keep turning off and on and turning data a
Off and on. It did pick up service eventually. Is this a radio issue?

I just got a Note 2 SPH-L900 (Sprint) it has a bad ESN for sprint but my intention was to flash it to cricket. I had noticed the same thing before the flash over to Cricket (I was messing with it over wifi etc and I did flash cm10.2 nightly just for the heck of it, then back to stock) but I could not verify service since I am not a Sprint customer. However the issue seems to not be carrier-specific.
When I flash custom ROMs I do not have service. No call, no data, nothing but wifi. The signal bar is empty and I get a big "?" Where the carrier is supposed to be. Also under "status" there is many blank spaces, no phone number, no carrier etc. Upon factory restore (which was done 2 or 3 times to ensure a bad ROM flash was not the culprit) the service icons and settings come back as before and everything works well.
I have tried two separate ROMs that give me the same issue: cyanogenmod 10.2 nightly
Rootbox jelly bean
Anyone know what may be wrong? I do not think this has to do anything with the flash over to cricket, since before it was doing the same thing. Any setting/procedure that I may be missing?
Edit: I did not do anything with kernels. My stock ROM android version is the 4.1.2

Well, i got it working now!!! i did reflash the modem to the latest MC2 version, then installed a custom kernel, Sleshepics the governor 1.7.
Then i reflashed the CM10.2 nightly and i magically have signal and data working.
SO EXCITED!
trying to flash my galaxy note ii sph-l900.. need help
i went to a couple of places and they said it couldnt be done.. it has low signal ... it only works on certain areas..
need help
Well it all depends on your signal. I live in Austin TX and cricket has great service here, with some dead spots out in the country (no big deal). 3g speeds are as fast as Sprint's 4g LTE.
The problem I was having had to do when I was flashing custom ROMs I was lising service.
I updated the modem drivers. It did the trick. I havent list service since and ive flashed like 6 ROMs so far.

I recently updated my CM install from 10.1.X to 10.2.1
Shortly (Immediately?) after doing this, I noticed my network connection speed “E” (edge) and horrendously slow as you know.
I tried everything I could think of but nothing was getting me back to 3G.
So I decided to revert to 10.1.X to see if the update was cause of the problem I had issues reverting back – bootup got stuck at spinning CM logo. So I decided to just go back to 10.2.1 at that point and figure out why I was stuck with “E” on that build
Successfully went back to 10.2.1 – including the update gapps package.
I can not figure out why my phone is stuck on the Edge network at this point. Entirely unusable.
Side note: When on WiFi, the "E" goes away, but obviously it doesn't matter, and I'm guessing this is just a cosmetic thing.
HELP!!!
IEMI is set to 0.
On with support
Telling me not a T-Mobile phone... WTH
Have to call Samsung now.
How could this happen?
I decided to give Kit Kat another try a few days ago, but since then I have not been able to connect to LTE.
Prior to flashing I was running CM10.2 and my LTE was working fine. I initially lost LTE when I flashed PACMAN. I have also tried AOSB/ProBAM and Beanstalk. None of the Kit Kat roms gave me LTE so I gave up and restored CM10.2, but afterward I was still not getting any LTE connection.
I tried flashing the MD4 modem, but that didn't seem to fix anything. I've also heard that going back to stock could help, but I'd rather not have Knox if I don't have to use it. Which stock ROM here on XDA would be the best (Not planning on using the ROM. I just want LTE and then will flash back to Kit Kat)? Would a different modem fix my LTE issues? Is MK3 better than MD4, or are there any newer modems I should try?
Thanks for the help!

Any of the ROMS that have [TW] in the title should work. Full Knox only comes with flashing a tar file in ODIN, because your flashing every partition of the phone. Modified stock ROM zips do not have knox, unless otherwise noted. Make sure to do a prl and profile update when you flash to stock.

Flashed Wicked Sensations last night with the MK3 modem and I seemed to be getting LTE as soon as that booted. Updated my PRL and Profile, and then wiped. Installed AOSB again, and I seemed to be getting LTE until I rebooted. After the first reboot I seem to be stuck in 3G again.
Im currently running AOSB on 2 devices. When I first flashed them, I had the same issue until I rebooted the phone. After that I never had this issue again.

I think that's the opposite of what happened to me. My status bar said I had LTE when I first booted AOSB (this was after flashing/wiping TW). After the first reboot it connected to 3G and I haven't seen the LTE signal since.
I have updated the APNs, but I was using the same APNs for a while and had LTE on CM10.2 with them.

This is something wierd with Kitkat. I do not believe a fix has been found just yet. but if you dial *#*#info#*#* on most phones you can get into the phone systems and turn LTE back on.

I didn't know about this menu. Thanks for that. I went into Phone Info and tried selecting LTE only but it didn't connect to anything. Not sure what that means. There are other
There are some other options in there for networks (e.g. TD-SCDMA, CDMA auto). Would any of them help picking up Sprint LTE?
Other options include:
Turn off radio, CellInfoListRate
Turn on IMS registration required
Turn on SMS over IMS
Turn on lte ram dump
SMSC:_____________ Update Refresh

KitKat roms are currently having data issues. You could try backing up your current KK rom and go back to Stock, update prl and backup your DNS settings then go back to your backed up KK rom and restore from the dns settings you backed up.
How does one downgrade from kitkat to jellybean? I tried to just flash a jellybean ROM with a clean install and got an error?

ohhh i had this issue but i figured it out for pacman and most roms just download nova launcher and when you do create a shortcut on nova ad click on setting an it should say apn once there u open it and youll see where it says ehprd something like that click on it and go all the way to the bottom and change where it says bearer to ehrpd and lte should work ^_^
Ok so I finally got it working, although I'm not sure what was wrong with everything in the first place. My buddy said Cyanogenmod screwed up a recent ROM, so maybe that code was in one of the ROMs I was using.
Each time I flashed back to TouchWiz (I ended up using Wicked Sensations) I could get 4G/LTE. I ran a **72786*, did a PRL & profile update. Prior to finding a working ROM, when I went back to BeanStalk/PACMAN I would lose LTE. After I found the updated BeanStalk ROM I flashed and it still had LTE! Happy days!
At this point I was able to send MMS somehow, but phone was having problems being recognized by the network. I could connect to LTE but couldn't use the data. After I updated the APNs everything started working again.
