Intermittent data connection

My phone started turning on and off its 3g connection. Wifi works solid.
I'm on a good signal area. It's not like the 3g is on and I can't connect in anything.
The problem is that the phone turns on and off. It doesnt fix the 3g connection.
Also, Checkin service it's draining the battery a lot.
Looks like a software problem with Google Play Services and its Connection checking service.
Anybody have seen this problem?
thanks in advance.

Starting to worry right now. Did a factory reset on a flashed V10j KDZ and it didn't change.
TWRPed a 20A Lollipop rooted ZIP and it didn't change. Right now I'm trying to go back stock using LG PC Suite.
I can't understand why this can be a hardware problem because 3G actually works but it keeps constantly getting on/off in ~10 seconds intervals.
Looks like a bad system file that is messing with it.
EDIT: Also, the phone can't search for mobile networks anymore. I just tell it to do a manual search and it can't find anything.
What would this be? Modem file broke? WTH.

I have random disconnects/drops too, Although my 3G/LTE icon never actually goes away, just the signal.
Personally I would suspect your modem as #1 suspect.
Factory reset rarely fixes much, I would try re-flashing the phone.
If KDZ flash doesn't fix it maybe try a tot & dll flash using LG Flash Tools with modified megalock.
It definitely looks like a modem issue BUT it can be a your os. I had issues where my modem wouldn't flash from a stock flash on my S4, But manually flashing my modem would SOMETIMES work, I would have to flash the modem a few times usually before it would actually flash.

I had problems before but it was caused by network. Did you tried with different SIM card from other network?

I have the same problem and couldn´t fix yet... Didn´t try to use another SIM card to check if is a network trouble, but it´s driving me crazy to be without connection and a huge battery draining...
Any other ideas?

Just try with other network SIM. I had same problem long time back with Nokia n96, Motorola defy and some other phones. Some of time it helped to set phone only to use 2g network. That was happening the most of time when i used VIP network in Serbia.
Setting only 2g signal helped sometimes but after changing SIM card, problem was solved.
This problem happen to me without reason and after some time i tried same network again, there was no problems.

Probably a different SIM will correct the problem, because after a lot of trial and error changes I realized that the current Network APN (you can reach going on Mobile Networks inside Connections and Networks [translation] in the Settings) was faulty. I deleted the APNs and made a restore. (Delete and Restore are the only options inside Network APNs).
I imagine that changing SIM cards from another carrier will reconfigure the APNs and probably fix the problem.

I´ve tried a different SIM card and didn´t found any troubles, but when I put mine, the problem come back again... So it´s a problem with my carrier. I´ve deleted the APN settings, restart, restore, restart again and didn´t solve. I´ll call them to check if they are experiencing any network issues.

[Q] T-325 NK1 firmware Wifi problem

Hi
I installed the new NK1 firmware on my t-325 and since then my inernet connection keeps dropping with "AP currently not in use. Internet connection too slow" message. The internet connection is obviously not slow and signal strength is maxed out. Is there anything I can do ? I have already regretted upgrading. :crying:

I have the sm-t320 also on the NK1 firmware but I haven't experienced any wifi dropouts , but I did a clean install by doing a factory reset, have you tried to remove the AP and re-add it back in?
To remove the network go to Settings - Wi-Fi - Long Press on the AP and press "Forget network" , then refresh networks and re-connect to it, or if SSID is hidden scroll down and click Add Wi-Fi netwrok.

Yes, I tried everything but to no avail. I even selected another channel on the router. My wife has the same tablet with the older firmware and everything is fine by her.

It seems that I need to roll back to the previous firmware but I don't know how to start it since I have never had a Samsung before. I downloaded the original firmware, Odin v3.9 and installed Kies to have the necessary drivers. I don't want to brick my device, so is there anything I need to be aware of before I start flashing ?

LG G3 4G Network Drops

So the problem I'm having with my G3 is that the Network either drops and comes back repeatedly or completely drops and does not return. This only happens on 4G. When I go into network settings and change network mode to 3G it works fine and I get a constant signal all the time.
I have been using Fulmics ROM and I thought maybe that was the issue. But it wasn't.
I tried 3 different sims from three different carriers (Three, EE, O2) on several stock firmwares. (20N, 21C, 30A, 30F).
Each scenario is the same; network drops when phone is on 4G network mode, but its fine on 3G mode.
However, I have noticed that if I leave Wifi OFF allowing 4G data to connect first, then its fine. I can even turn Wifi ON again and the network is stable. I can even turn Wifi and Data OFF and the network is still stable.
But, if I toggle aeroplane mode, where Wifi connects first or where Wifi and Data is turned OFF; I am back to the network dropping.
Also, I live in London UK so there should not be any signal issues. Can anyone tell me why this is happening. I doubt it's software issue as I've tried several firmwares.
Any help is appreciated.

Mate I'm afraid there is a high possibility it's the Fulmics ROM.. I'm still trying to read up on the issue myslef, there's a ton of reports in the Fulmics thread and around.

I'm using an UK bought LG G3 as well (from Three) and started experiencing similiar issues after I flashed Fulmics. Even tried rolling back to 4.4.2 using a .tot file but didn't really help me.
Still scouring all around trying to find how to fix the issue..

Hmmm looking back now this issue did start when I first installed fulmics 3.5. But shouldn't everything revert back to stock when you reinstall stock firmware.

That's what I thought but I guess it's a little bit more tricky.
Anyways I think I managed to restore some kind of stability in the signal, still unsure about the process though. Seems that different stuff are working for different people. In a few days I hope to have some information to give you how to fix it.
In the meantime try checking the Fulmics thread for ideas and suggestions (that's where I start off from).

Yeah let me know when you find a fix. Really appreciate the help.
One thing that is sort of a temporary fix for me, works on Three, EE and O2 (only ones i tried), is connecting Data first when on 4G mode.
So if I toggle airplane mode and if Wifi connects first then the network drops or keeps refreshing.
But, if I leave Wifi OFF and Data establishes a connection; the network is stable and I can then turn Wifi On again and the network will remain stable.
I just have to make sure the network does not lose connection (i.e. tunnel or airplane mode), and if it does ensure Data connects first.
Also, another thing. After I reinstalled Fulmic 5.3 it seems 4G mode is sort of stable. As in when on 4G mode instead of dropping the network it connects via 3G automatically. But this only happens with Three.

Okay here is what worked for me - open this guide and download the Three specifiic Lollipop and Marshmallow .kdz files.
Flash the stock Marshmallow firmware first using the LG Flash Tool method. Your phone probably won't automatically get recognized since you're running Fulmics now so you'll need to change the COM port as described in post #
After that downgrade to stock Lollipop using the LGUP method. Personally I downloaded more updated (I think, not sure) files from here.
Then I proceeded to re-root and clean install Fulmics 5.1 and the 5.2 and 5.3 OTA updates from recovery. Booted and network works without drops now with 4G connectivity.

I changed my carrier and got an automatic SMS with configuration for my phone and instructions to save it. I should've known something was fishy when I recieved the "congratulations for setting up" message even before I recieved the actual settings. Anyways 4G was running fine on my new carrier with 32 mbps speed which is okay, much better compared to the same carrier 3G network, however I only had 3 bars of connection so I gussed what the heck, I should save that configuration after all, it might make things better. What a bloody mistake. I lost 4G connectivity and my phone refused to connect to the 4G network, only 3G (just as you describe).
What worked for me in this scenario was wiping the cache and dalvik (not really sure this step is even necessary to be honest, but I was headed for a full rom re-wipe anyway and decided to try with this first), going into the hidden menu and choosing LTE only connectivity (Fulmics Tweaks -> Hidden Menu [or the hidden code for the phone app if you decided to stay on stock, which I dont have] -> Modem Protocol -> RAT Selection -> LTE only. At this step my phone got to the usual 3 to 4 bars of connectiviy but was displaying "Emergency mode only" and no data at all. I proceeded to Settings -> Networks -> More -> Mobile Networks -> Access point names -> Reset to default from the menu. If network mode doesn't change back to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto automatically, change it back manually. At this point I had restored back my 4G connection and everything is working normally (30-32 mbps connection stationary in my house through a wifi hotspot next to my laptop).
Good luck, I would follow the steps as described just in case. I tried many reflashes before that should've worked but didn't for me. However different things work for different people, hope this works for you and please report back

I'd like to thank you so much for this information! I was having signal drop issue after installing Fulmics ROM. Tried to flash stock ROM but no success. After doing the downgrade via LGUP method to LP my phone is getting full signal again (at least I didn't notice any drop until now).
Thank you!

Sorry for the late reply.
I followed your instructions and unfortunately it didn't work. :crying:
I first tried with the D85520f you provided and then with an updated D85521C firmware. But nothing worked.
The temporary fix, which I found works, is to ensure 4G mobile data establishes a connection first before Wifi (turn Wifi OFF then ON after data established). Then there is no signal drop until I go through a tunnel or phone restarts (signal drops completely), which means again i have to ensure 4G mobile data establishes a connection before Wifi or else it'll go back to the constant signal dropping.
Guess I'll just stick with 3G at all times. I've spent too much time trying to correct this than actually finding enjoyment in using the phone.
Anyway really appreciate the time and effort you took to help with this annoying situation. :good::good::good:

Modem 21C should be your answer! Please try with that.

Is anyone still out there

I flashed dummies and get dropped 4g data like this.
I have tot back to stock and didn't help... not Kdz
Haven't downgraded yet to LP yet.
On turborom now.
Can I just flash this modem? Have a link to the 21c modem?
Flash in twrp or send via LG flash?

No signal, No network, YES Imei

Hi everyone, good morning
I pose this problem ...
I updated my GT-N7100 from the stock version 4.4.2 to 7.1 RR, which is why the phone was no longer lit. The Samsung word appeared looping at its ignition and no reset options worked.
All after the battery suddenly abandoned me!
After the upgrade, unfortunately the mobile network is no longer detected, or rather, the phone does not hook up the signal even if mobile networks are detected (select networks, Vodafone, Tim, Wind, Tre).
If I try to hook my network manually (Tim), the error is the inability to record.
I checked IMEI and is present, and, as mentioned above, networks if you look manually are seen.
I've downgraded to version 4.2.2 to figure out if the problem was about rom, but even with this version the network is not hooked up.
I also tried with other sim, but nothing in fact.
Unfortunately the backup I made did not go well and did not save the files in the EFS folder .... the badge sees us well !!!!!
Do you have any suggestions?
I also tried to reflect the rom Viper, but no change in the network ...
What other tests could I do? Thank you all!

Pixel 2 XL cellular data issue with any custom ROM

Recently i have entered some state in which mobile data is busted on my phone. I have tested multiple android pie roms to find the same thing in each. When i flash the latest stock android (PQ1A.181205.002), mobile data is fine. In this broken state i can see the signal bars with a little 'R' by them (notification on lost mobile data connection Data roaming is turned off. tap to turn on). Every time i navigate into Settings> Network & internet > Mobile Network > Advanced > Carrier Settings. The screen will flash and take me back to Mobile Network, this happens with every custom rom tested. The app SprintDM tries to set up the phone 5 times and then fails. Phone codes seem to have no effect. the code 4636 will allow me to view current info in which it says mobile data disconnected. It doesn't appear to matter if i connect to wifi and allow the basic stock apps to update first. Reboots do not help. I even tried flashing the modem and radio for PQ1A.181105.017.A1 and OPM4.171019.021.R1. I can also say the phone app shows a message "This device is not supported and phone calls may not work correctly". Phone calls work fine. Previously i was running LiquidRemix (10.0.2) just fine, everything working. Randomly mobile data died so i tried a update to LiquidRemix (10.0.3) and still busted. Tested multiple other PIE roms to find the same. And again if i flash any stock firmware mobile data is fine. Anyone else see this or have an idea of how to fix this for custom roms?

I rooted my pixel2xl yesterday and installed Havoc OS.
Today I was out with my family and was trying to navigate via Google maps and it continuously displayed error "try again"
Status bar was showing lte connection then I tried opening chrome and was unable to use mobile data even if it being on and active.
I am planning to move to Stock again tomorrow

vipulkarkar, did you find out any other additional info on this? I went back to stock and everything is fine but would very much rather be running a custom rom.

Just seeing this post, fortunately, I've not run into this issue on stock or custom roms ... What I do run into, on stock or custom roms, is when I leave my house, with a T-Mobile CellSpot, I tend to switch to 3G or H+ in an LTE area. I sometimes have to cycle airport mode a couple times to get LTE back.. So odd and annoying!

Is there something we Sprint users could do to help the devs include Sprint connectivity in their roms? Like provide a nandroid backup of our device or ?
