No Cellular Connection after entering dead zone and coming back out - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

This has happened twice now. I've gone into a parking garage where I actually had service, and got the error that I had no service when trying to send a text. It happened again today at work, where I lose service in the elevator, gain service when I come out AND am connected to wifi, yet still get this error when trying to send a text when I clearly have service. Only fix is to reboot.
Any thoughts?
I'm Running Wicked ROM.

This phone is weird if your downloading something and data switched to 4g it won't go back to LTE if your still downloading something ...it has to finish the download or pause the download and a minute after LTE comes backup ...this is the only problem I have with this phone
Note 3 using cm_11

I wasn't downloading anything. I'm on wifi in my office and I just received a text, but when I try to make a call or send, it says no cellular network available. WHAT THE F!?

I have been having this issue lately too. Never had it before and had the phone for about 6 months. Im stocked rooted, KNOX not tripped. Its been pissing me off lately too. Was going to wipe and start from scratch if it keeps up. But really dont want to do that.

Evo - Won't stay in 3G coverage

I'm having trouble with my EVO staying in 3G coverage. My phone is fully rooted and running Froyo (The problems were the same with the Eclair build however), have the 2.05+ radio installed (however the problems were the same with the 1.39 radio as well) and I'm living in Michigan.
At any given time my phone will slip into 1X coverage and will seem to lock in there. When I first received the phone I felt like the phone quality was subpar compared to the Hero I had prior. I'm not sure if its been a firmware issue or network issue or simply a phone issue (starting to think the later), but hoping its a simple fix with something else.
About a week ago I was on a trip across Michigan which should have had 3g coverage the entire way (I was a passenger and trying to use wireless tethering to do some work along the trip). I would constantly go into 1X and would have to restart my phone to get back in 3G. Even at home I'll go into 1X and will have to reboot my phone to get it back to 3G.
I've tried Real Signal as well during these times and it also shows no 3G signal.
Anyways, anyone else experience this? Is it likely a bad radio or something else. I hate to have to return the phone and go through that process plus root again but I might have to at this point.
Thanks for any help that can be provided!!
Hmmm, whereabouts in MI? I am all over the south east and have never seen my phone drop out of 3G yet.
Have you tried wiping everything and trying stock rom w/OTA 1.47 just to make sure it isn't the ROM?
I am having the exact same problem. Using 2.0xxx radio and Fresh 0.5.3. I recently exchanged my phone and got a new one. The first phone did not do this
Try this:
When it shows you no 3G coverage, instead of restarting, go to-- SETTINGS> WIRELESS & NETWORKS> scroll down and look at "Mobile Network". When i get the 3g problem it says "Connection Failed". I think uncheck that box and re-check it and it connects back to 3g again (for a time, but then I have to do it again).
My MOBILE NETWORK settings are: Data Roaming = OFF, Always-on mobile data = ON, and CDM Roaming mode is set to: SPRINT only. Call guard = ON but i dunno what that means.
I dunno wtf is going on with this. Im in Houston and this issue is really pissing me off because i actually got a Novatek screen this time and don't want to risk taking the phone back and getting the Epson...
Anyone else experiencing this retarded issue?
Elegant: I'm in SE Michigan as well. I've tried several roms and have had issues with them all. I'm currently using a Froyo rom with similar issues as I've had with stock and other eclair roms.
As for checking/unchecking the box as you stated in Froyo I don't have that option available... I'm sure there's another way to get to it but I can't through settings. I think there was a #* code to get to where you are talking about but I'd have to look again.
It is a very annoying issue and like yourself I don't want to have to return my phone if there's a simple fix.
On a side note: How do I find out what panel I have? I've been considering the kernel that would get rid of the 30 fps cap but haven't yet pulled the trigger in part because I don't know which panel I have - and because I need to learn a little more about it before I go ahead with it.

Post 3 tells how to determine screen
Thanks for your help - got the kernel and now get around 40 FPS. Now if I can just figure out why the phone goes in and out of 3g on occasion. Its really not as big a deal when I'm at home but when I travel it is a pain.
well i returned my phone and got one with an Epson screen. im using Fresh 1.0.1 and it is even worse. i cant even use 3g data for more than 5 seconds before it disconnects. i've read some stuff about APN but dont know how to refresh/update them. i've updated PRL and Profile and nothing helps. how am i having this problem with 2 phones running 2 different ROMs? last rom was fresh 0.5.3 and now it is fresh 1.0.1...
anyone help with this APN issue? (i dont even know what APN stands for)
i actually am using the kernel for 55 FPS for Epson screens. would that be a factor either?
I'm and having the same issue with 3g.
Every thing worked fine with the first stock root of 1.32.651.1, PRI 1.40_003, PRL 60666.
With the second root of 1.47.651.1, PRI 1.34.651.1 now my 3g is unstable.
I don't know what FPS has to do with any of this, but I put radio radio-1.39.00.04.26 and it seems to improve a tiny bit, but I don't know how to update back to PRI 1.40_003.
Not happy
Also having problems in SE Michigan. Just started today after installation of Fresh 1.0.1 and the new radios. I also have a co-worker with and unrooted EVO and the latest OTA/Radio with the same problem.
I have a rooted EVO (DC 3.2.3). My wife has a stock EVO (fully updated).
Last night our phones started bouncing between roaming/sprint 3G, while we were sitting at home.
We started getting this error if we turned off Data Roam:
"Data Call Failure
Error Code 67: Registration failure. Your PCS Vision username and/or password may be incorrect. Please try again."
The error pops every time it tries to connect to Sprint's mobile network and fails.
We also live in Michigan. Perhaps they are doing provisioning?
Rebooting + update Profile/PRL seems to help, sometimes, but not permanently.
I am having the same issue with my 3g coverage.
When I go into my settings and turn mobile network on, it connects but then immediately says connection failed.
Does anyone have any suggestions as this is getting really annoying and frustrating.
Went to a Sprint store last night; apparently Michigan was having some significant network issues (the store reps said their phones kept getting disconnected as well), and that it was expected to be resolved by sometime today. After a reboot last night, I haven't had any more issues myself.

[Q] phone will not let me do anything while roaming. any ideas?

so i was running the VR_GengerSense_Revolution_B4 rom about 4 days ago with now problem doing ANYTHING on my phone while in digital roaming. then i left the roaming areas and went into sprint service area and came back into the roaming area and now my phone wont do anything while roaming. i cant make or receive calls or messages or use any apps or the net. i have 2-4 bars of signal but if i try to do anything it tells me i have no network connection. yesterday i switched to the BeKinged-STOCK-Beta-V1-Clark44 rom thinking that changing everything would fix it but it didn't i went back into that same roaming area today and its the same story. does anybody have any idea of what i could do to fix this? I'm at a loss i tried every setting and was on the phone with sprint for about an hr. and nothing. Ive tried different radios and still nothing. i was thinking of un-rooting and seeing if that changed it. it baffles my that it just randomly started with out me changing anything on my phone.
thanks for any input.
i updated the PRL tonight hopefully that will help \. gonna try that before i un-root.
PRL update didn't help. unrooted taking it to sprint tomorrow.

Phone won't connect to network.

Hi I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus and today I simply stopped receiving signal on it. I don't know how or why. I didn't flash anything or even use my phone at all. At one point it was working fine, then I noticed that where my signal bars should be, I have nothing but greyed out bars and an "X" on top of that. This was hours ago. I called T-Mobile(I use T-Mobile Prepay) and they had me do several things like remove battery and sim, and nothing helped. I have a custom ROM(Black Bean). I have used this ROM for weeks with no issue. Just to make sure I did a nandroid and I restored my old Stock-Rooted ROM. Still no signal. I then did a full wipe did a full wipe and installed Black Bean 3.1.2(older version which I know for a fact works fine) on a clean install. Still there is no signal. If I try to make a call, it tells me to turn off Airplane mode before making a call. But I am 100% that Airplane mode isn't on. I can go and turn it on, then back off even. Still I have no signal. I have no way of knowing if this is my phone or T-Mobile having tower problems. I called but they don't know anything since it was the pre-pay support line call center in India.
I have been generally disappointed with T-mobiles service. I would gladly give up the rest of my current month and re-subscribe to Straight Talk with ATTs Towers right now, but I'd have to get service going with them again and that would cost 45 bucks. And it's a waste if there is something wrong with my phone. So now I don't know what to do! =/
Edit: Quick update, I put in my Straight Talk SIM thinking that even if it were out of minutes, it would at least let me connect to the towers so that I can add more. Still nothing. If I hold down power(under stock) it brings up the power screen and that tells me that Airplane Mode is on even though I have it off in settings. If i click on that message, it says "Airplane Mode is OFF" but it isn't really, because if I go out and back in again, it's back to saying that it's on. However, I do have it turned off in my settings. I will also mention that WIFI does work.
Check if you activated the 2G option under Mobile settings. I had a similar issue a few weeks back. Almost drove me mad.

Sounds like your phone is the problem if there's discrepancies about whether airplane mode is on.

[Q] No signal, calls or texts but I'm still able to use data

For about a week now my phone has been showing no bars and is always looking for service however I am still able to use data with the WiFi off. Text and phone calls do not work. Went into verizon they reset my signal ad gave me a new sim card and still nothing. Service is good where I am. They would have replaced the phone if I was still under warranty. Weird thing, when I'm connected to wifi, the mobile network state is disconnected and when wifi is off it changes to disconnected. Don't know if that is significant, but is there anything I can do or Is the phone broken?
If toy have a back up of your eds that's going to be your best bet
Had the same problem. Called Verizon tech support they ran a couple test and then signed me up for extended warranty and sent me a new phone. It could be worth a try.

No 3g signal/icon

My e4gt is flashed to verizon. Saturday I lost my 3g signal so I have no access to the internet. I called verizon and they said everything looks good on their end. My phone appears to be roaming. Or Im getting the triange instead of the 3g icon. I have done the factory reset and reflashed gb27.
Verizon told me to input *228 however when i do it then ask for me to press option 1 but i dont have a keypad and when i try to go to the dialer it takes me back to the screen for the phone activation. If i wait it appears to default to that option 1 and says the activation is complete.
Also my lock screen use to say Sprint on it even though it worked on Verizon. Now it says, "preferred System". I still get phone calls and sms. However when I place a call or receive one it bring ups the data warning.
I also keep getting an error stating, "error 89/: unknown error please try again". Which I would guess has something to do with the lack of an internet connection
Please help I am lost at this point.
Im in the same boat.I had it reflashed but after 2 days i have the same problem. I tried everything but im back to square one
