Optimus G Pro KitKat 4.4.2 manual network search bug - LG Optimus G Pro

Everyone,
I just updated my firmware to 4.4.2 via the LG software (South East Asia version). What I found out is that I can no longer manually search for telco network and pick the network of my choice. It will always present "No Networks Found" when I attempt to search. Auto network selection works fine. However, I need to search and select manual network due to the network alliance for data roaming.
I send my phone in to the service center and they tested it with different phones and found that it is consistent and they declare that it is a bug in the KitKat firmware. They downgraded my phone back to 4.1.2 and tell me that they will feedback the bug to the software team, however there is no commitment on when this will be fixed.
Please help me test the manual network search on your 4.4.2 and let me know if you face the same "No Networks Found" issue. I want to know if this is limited to the South East Asia version of the firmware or it is bigger.
Thank you.

I had this problem too. I was using the Singapore E988 and when I upgraded it to 4.4.2, the phone could not display the available telco networks in all modes (GSM, WCDMA, LTE...). Either it gives "no network found" or "error while searching for networks."
Tried resetting to factory numerous times and reinstalling 4.4.2, but it doesn't solve the problem.
I had to downgrade it back to 4.1.2 and everything is back to normal.

Thanks for the confirmation. Hopefully LG will fix this in 4.4.2 so that we have a functioning KitKat to use on our phone.
Cheers!

Nope. Not yet, at least for Singapore firmware. It is still the v20b created in May.
I think LG has decided that it is not worth the effort to fix this. I am stuck.
I am considering flashing my phone with KitKat firmware from Hong Kong or Malaysia, not sure if it is a viable option.
Are you also experiencing the same issue? Which firmware are you using?

Im in south Korea and my phone also shows no signal inside rooms, restaurant,ets.. im think it getting LTE signal only?..

may be the access point is wrong,may be you can press "*#*#4636#*#*"to select a proper network mode,and i believe if you flash kdz will give you 3g back,but it is the last way.

May be incompatible frequencies?
F180L is version for LG Telecom which doesnt use WCDMA network.
F180L does supports WCDMA, but as i remember it has some odd frequencies.
And check the APN

I tried this but when I clicked on the "select radio band" option, it gave me an error notice "?unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped". Plz how do I rectify? NB... My device has no connection to any of the carrier networks after upgrade.

[Q] No HSPA+ after Kitkat update

Using official (as well as silviu's ROM) for Samsung Galaxy S4 mIni duos (i9192) on Jelly Bean, I could use HSPA+ network (when available). However my phone was rebooting everytime I activated my 3G/HSPA+ on one of the two sim cards... very annoying, my only solution was to deactivate 3G and work on Wi-Fi to avoid constant rebooting.
Therefore I tried kitkat version : it's even worse concerning rebooting plus I have no HSPA+ at all (same phone, same sim card, same network, same place) !! Modified ROM of Silviu corrected rebooting issue, but still no HSPA+ anymore !!
Can someone help ?

Hello, thank you for your quick reply !
I'm from BELGIUM and tried a lot of things without success... you are my last hope to solve.
I'm afraid I was too fast in saying rebooting issue was solved with your kitkat rom : it is not rebooting but I still loose network on both sim cards after activating 3G on one of them (and using it). Behaviour is slightly different as I don't get immediately pin code screen or rebooting, but I have to reboot and enter pin codes again to reactivate network.
You may be right about changing modem : what do you suggest ? I found one of your posts on this forum with a lot of modems : are they all usable with kitkat ?

Strange behavior u have there. unfortunately no, only 3 modems for now for KitKat . Russia, India, Chile
I think i only had one full network drop on both SIM since Kitkat and that was caused by Phone.apk crash . But my network came back online in 10 15 seconds or so.
On Jb, i had more Phone.apk crashes but those fully lock the phone and i had to force shutdown . ~1 / week or so
I have no clue what to advise u unfortunately. Sorry
Did u try without PIN-codes ? I don`t use them

Yes, I tried... unsuccessfull
Let me resume, I have now 1 more issue on Kitkat comparing to JB :
a) loosing network when both sim cards active AND 3g active on one of them (i.e. be asked for pin codes, unexpected rebooting, just nothing to see but get voicemail when calling my own numbers from external phone)
b) no HSPA+ (Kitkat only)
I tried to downgrade to JB in order to have at least HSPA+, but it gives an error ! ?
Please help how to proceed for downgrade to JB stock rom ?!
Thank you

Hello
I've noticed there is a new version for India... do you have only the MODEM: I9192DDUCNH1 for download and is this modem compatible if I install it together with PDA I9192XXUCNG2 (I don't want to reinstall everything, but only have bugs corrected in modem) ??

Same issue here.
Same issue here. After upgrading to Kitkat, never been able to connect again to HSPA+ signal. When I try network mode "GSM/WCDMA" I get EDGE signal then when I choose network mode to "WCDMA" only, I have a signal but no internet and the symbol "H+" or "H" doesn't appear on the top of the screen.

[SOLVED] Can't get 4G/LTE after restoring

Hey all. I'm currently running a D855V (Australian model) rooted on stock Android 4.4.2.
So I recently upgraded to Lollipop but couldn't use it fully due to issues with some other software of mine. So I used the KDZ method to flash back to 10E. Since then I've lost all 4G/LTE on my phone.
I've tried changing the networking mode inside the mobile network settings from GSM/WCDMA to GSM/WCDMA/LTE but once selected my entire mobile network will drop. From there it will regain network connectivity for about 10 seconds (minus any data connection) and then drop off again, showing no network. It will continue to do this until I change the network type back to GSM/WCDMA or reboot (which defaults the connectivity method back to GSM/WCDMA anyway). I tried flashing the 10C firmware too (for Australia) but this will do the exact same thing.
I've also tried changing the LTE RAT settings inside the hidden menu to GSM/WCDMA/LTE and it still won't connect. It will drop the network like the previous method but will then reconnect only with a HSDPA connection rather than 4G/LTE.
I've checked the SIM card in another phone and it works fine with 4G/LTE. I've also checked my IMEI and it shows that I do have one so I can rule that out. Right now I"m at a loss. I'm thinking I need to flash a new radio or baseband but I can't find any info about that from any of the other threads I've read.
Any info at this stage would be great as it sucks having the 2nd best 4G speeds in the world and not being able to use them.
Cheers all.
EDIT: Resolved it by flashing KK modem/baseband. Thanks to JDr0iD for the suggestion. Turns out the KK and LP basebands are done differently. Figures considering the massive overhaul they've done with it. Anyway the modem can be found here - https://mega.co.nz/#!61QBVS5B!pa2xdGyeWAJKyAazkz9O8qc5b9hJOpxX5kaU_aFdjq4

Hey mate. Do you think modem is still linked to lollipop? Try another modem or restore EFS to see if makes a difference

[Q] UK 4G not working

So far, managed to root my Korean F240L, still running 4.4.2 for now until there's a root for Lollipop. Haven't managed to see any 4G signal in the UK since I got it , get 3G sporadically but the reception is way worse than the same sim card in my old Nexus 4. Network is Giff Gaff (ie O2) , should I consider going for a UK baseband update ?
Right ok, since found out that the Korean version doesn't support UK 4G. Is it possible to change this ?

If the phone doesn't support the LTE bands your desired carrier offers, then no, you're boned.
Think I'm in a similar situation
Got an E986 from Germany running 4.4.2 KitKat (E98620a-EUR-XX), it works great on 3G in the UK but NO 4G at all on my Three 4G Sim card. Tried enabling it in the hidden phone menu - no joy.
I thought I would be able to get 4G working by rooting and re-flashing but by god I cannot get this thing rooted despite my best attempts from trying all the techniques on here
Thought if I downgraded to 4.1.2 then I would have better luck rooting, but can't seem to download a .kdz that isn't corrupted when I try the LG FlashTool

You cant change the bands of a phone by flashing other things. If it doesnt work it most likely wont be able too.

My LG G3 only connects to Edge network

Hello guys.
After a couple of days reading on the internet without success I decided to share my problem here.
I bought a LG g3 D850 32 gb on eBay, once I received it I was so happy enjoying the 4g LTE network, the speed was amazing.
Regrettably, one day all this happiness disappeared, now I only have Edge connection, I don't have 3g, hsdpa or 4g, I only get the awful Edge.
I have tried using my sim card on other phone and I get 3g and hsdpa (that phone does not have 4g) so the problem is on the G3.
I have to say that I have the phone with the stock rom and the only change I've done was to root it with kingroot and deleted (disable) some at&t apps. I thought this was the problem so I restored to factory defaults but the problem did not disappear.
I was thinking in to return the phone but I am in Chile so is a little hard.
I will be grateful if some one could help me with this issue.
I will be waiting for your comments
Thanks on advance

Hi Nick,
This is the Software info:
Android Version: 5.0.1
Baseband Version: MPSS.DI.2.0.1.c1.13-00058-M8974AAAAANPZM-1
Kernel Version: 3.4.0
Build Number: LRX21Y
Software Version: D85021r
Security Software Version: MDF v1.1 Release 3
I do not understand what the base network is. Is my cellullar provider?
The APN settings are OK. I didn't change anything.
I had all the connections and suddenly I lost 3 and 4 g and only get Edge.
I didn't change anything. I rooted the phone with KingRoot but I am not sure if the problem started in that moment.
I have made the Factory Data Reset a couple of times and the problem continues.
My Sim Card works fine in other cell phone.
Please Help!!!!

Yes, your cellular provider. What's your cellular provider and what's your APN? Is your sim from AT&T, a foreign provider or from a Chilean network? Does the APN match the SIM provider's APN?
I'm thinking that it's either an APN problem or a band switching problem (since you disabled some AT&T apps) or you just ran through your allotment of 4G data under your contract.
If you've tried your SIM very recently in a friend's phone and it works just fine, then it's probably not a data allotment problem.

I am using a chilean provider with the correct APN, the same I used from the first day when 4g were working fine and the same.
Yesterday I tried mi sim card in other cellphone and I got 4g without problem. I checked the apn and they was the same.
Now I tried with tho different ROMs, I changed the kernel and the modem and I'm still get only EDGE :crying::crying:
I do not know what to do. I think the cellphone is bad
I'm guessing that you may have disabled something when you were deleting the AT&T bloatware. You've got a D850, right?
As @trickie69r has mentioned in a previous thread, try downloading your KDZ direcly from LG's Servers using: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b...XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Replace XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX with your own IMEI, which can be found by dialing *#06* in Dialer)
Take a screenshot of your About Phone > Software Info tab before and after and see if anything changes.
Buena suerte!
