Intermittent data connection - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Impossible to get network operator

I flashed CM10.1 on my S3 and had the same problem as others where data was intermittent. It worked for some time and after one nightly, I lost my IMEI. So I got back to stock, used the procedure with QPST and got back my IMEI. I got back to cm10.1 and unsurprisingly, I had a hard time having data. But worst off, I had a hard time having cell connection anymore, not even voice or sms. Tried AOKP without any luck. Tried different modems, not luck either. Now I went back to stock and still doesn't work. There's something that is not resetted between flash of ROM that keeps messing up my connection. I also found out that only one network provider is ever found, one is Rogers Wireless (I'm with Bell), or one is EXT. But never any other provider is ever found. And also in *#*#4636#*#* under phone info I can'T change the radio band like I can on the phone of my girlfriend.
So there it is. I'm stuck. I don't really want to buy another phone. It is a software issue for sure. But how can we solve that? Is there any way to restore the EFS to factory default? Could it be buried there? What is the ERI? Could it be that? My stock ROm says that it can't get the ERI version.
Any help is welcome.
my stock telus ERI is unavailable but i think thats normal... i have no problems
from what i understand imei and apn settings are the things to check into

IMEI and APN are good. IMEI will get me data, but I can't even get a cell connection now. No radio at all.
whats your radio band set to?
if i set mine to anything but automatic it wont find networks like yours..
*#*#4636#*#* dont work on my telus s3.
i use a different method
*#197328460# then
UMTS > Debug Screen > Phone control > Network Control > Band selection >
Automatic...
beware what you change in here as there is no return to default

Neither of the two works. *#*#4636#*#* was working with CM10/10.1 and AOKP. But not with stock. And the one you suggest after is not working either.
But I remember going ot *#*#4636#*#* before flashing stock rom and I wasn't able to selet any band. On my girlfriend's android phone (HTC) I can.
if it were me.. i would try reflashing stock again... after flashing stock do a factory reset thru recovery... seems to help for clean stock setup.
if still no network i would check that band selection is set to automatic.
maybe someone else with more experience would have a better idea.
you mentioned you changed your band selection and now cant change it back.
i dont think flashing stock changes this.
i think that might be your problem.
ifso you first need to fix phone to use *# code... i have no idea why its not working
it works on my stock telus 4.0.4 and 4.1.1
maybe bell blocks from using *#code?

if i were u i would first try your girls sim in your phone and vise versa and if no luck do the qpst instructions to regain LTE not imei .and if u still cant manually find network operator after that i would format both sd cards and odin back to stock rooted and do the imei injection again for the hell of it and the LTE fix ..and stay on stock rooted or 4.1.2 until u get this figured out cause 4.2 builds are gonna have more probs then 4.1...I know u are having cell connect probs and these instructions are for imei and data but it sounds like your out of options....i lost imei once and had to manually inject with qpst and my reception was one bar til i did the LTE fix and it worked awesome..one more thing is my phone will not select a radio band ever unless i manually select my network operator first or i have no sim card in phone..i have also had sim cards crap out for no apparent reason..good luck

Thanks for your answer. Really appreciated. I've flashed so much time that I don't see the point of doing it again. I also had, at some point, to inject my IMEI and it worked with QPST.
What I find really strange is that a stock reflash doesn't put everything back to when I bought the phone. Funny thing, after the flash, it knew what my Wi-Fi router password was! So obviously there are some part of the config that is not overwritten. Which I find odd.
I also started playing with the service menu and found a lot of settings for the radio band. No luck yet.

Your WiFi password could have been restored by google just like it puts your contact info back.
If you are doing a Odin to stock that should wipe it clean.

This thing is so strange. There's only one network that my phone can see now, and it is 302720. Bell is 302610. No other network is visible. And since I'm with Bell, then I can't connect to 302720. I'm in for emergency calls only. That's why I thought it may have to do with radio. But it seems Rogers (302720) and Bell use the same bands. A channel maybe? But this should be all automatic! It's a pretty stupid bug let me tell you!
Maybe a SIM card issue? That would be quite a coincidence that it happen exactly when I'm playing with ROMs...

Ah that's a good possibility. I didn't know it was saving passwords as well.
So if it wipes clean, how come this bug stays? There is obviously something that is not wiped and overwritten or else it would work.
How can one tell if someone losses their IMEI number? Unable to make phone calls? No 4g/ lte?

When you go to info about your phone, in status you usually have your IMEI number. It'll show 0 if it's corrupted. Or sometimes it's a generic IMEI dans is used when the real one is unknown. It's 049 something I think.
Without an IMEI number you can do phone call. But you'll never have a data connection.

[Q] No Service. Data working but no Call/Text.

Hello!
I have m919 T-Mobile Galaxy s4 but I'm with other carrier (Wind Canada). I rooted the phone about a month ago, I believe, using THIS guide.
I spent yesterday in environment where I didn't had coverage for most of the day, but i haven't gotten it back yet. Sounds really weird as it might be not connected to the fact at all. I have 4G connection active, which means that I have internet, but it keeps 'searching' for service and I can't Call/Text anyone, neither I can receive calls or texts. Instead of the bar at the top showing how good coverage i have it just shows a crossed out circle icon.
I've tried reboots, keeping my phone off for 30mins without battery, taking out sim and putting it back in, changing network modes and resetting APN (all from settings panel).
Have anyone experienced something like that and how do I fix it? It was working perfectly for last couple of months and the phone didn't get any damage yesterday neither.
P.S Did the the regular factory reset (don't know if it affects rooting) but it didn't change anything. =
I have same problem.
Did you solve it? and how?
Haven't solved it, that was the whole point of my post!

Never had this happen to me. Data works off your signal, something is wickedly wrong. I'd flash the modem again if you are on 4.2.2 bootloader (doesn't matter which rom or android version). If that fails, go intonrecovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, and wipe data. If that fails, backup your data and Odin flash back to 100% stock. If that fails, more than likely your /efs folder was corrupted.

Ok, so I got heimdall, and got the recovery.img from the other topic. I followed the steps that was provided in the second link, but nothing much changed, it successfully uploaded the recovery.img, then i did recovery boot with power button + home button + volume up, it did some things with a pirate android guy in the back and thats it, booted up. Not sure if I have everything back to stock or not - either way, the issue with the network hasn't been resolved!

Tried this?
go to settings/more networks/Mobile networks/Network operators/Search now......
It might take a minute or two, then show you some networks it finds. Select your provider and it should list some options for you.
need to see Mobile data with a check, Data roaming checked, network mode should be LTE/GSM/WCDMA(auto connect)
If you KNOW what your APN (access Point Name) is you can check if it's correctly there.
It usually is downloaded with the search for network so just try with whatever is ther for now.
Back all the way out, and power off. Take out the battery, wait like 30 seconds, replace the battery and power on again.
See if you get service and can dial out.
Aloha and Good Luck!

Ok, now you might want to call your provider and ask them to remove you from their network and reinsert you again. That procedure will often re-enable normal operation of cellular connectivity.
They will ask you to power down and remove your battery for about a minute, then power up again.
Aloha and Good Luck!
Tried it all
Well im in the same boat here.
I checked the IMEI is correct
i did a full stock MK5 install with Odin without sim inserted and with
*#2263# helps it recognizes the network on the search list (WIND)
but it wont connect (failed to connect try again)
sometimes it connects to 4G and i can use the web
but no calls or sms
i noticed i dont have LTE enabled which ill do tomorrow
i even opened my phone to check that no cables came off as it was in service for a broken screen
tried a different sim from koodo wich also acts weird it connects to data but wont make phone calls or sms
the problems began after its been UNLOCKED (sim free)
any suggestions? im willing to try anything
its been in service 4 times and still they cant figure it out...
thanks!

[Q] disappeared LTE all firmware

What is done:
first I flash 30B bump, the problems starte. then flash 30B LGUp, flash 21a and 21c, change band in ingeneering menu, delete lteconfig, flash 30b bump with modems: 21a, 21c, 30b hybrid, change of operator, manual config APN, manual search network. All this does not help.
Any ideas?
no ideas?
Idem.
But after reboot 4G is ok, but again...every morning i lost signal 4G...only 2G/3G is ok. So..reboot & 4G is up......disappointed.
Same on my G3. I downgrade from MM to LP but problem persist.
Same here....tried rollback to kitkat stock, LP stock, CM12, Cm13, and some other roms with no luck....have just flashed stock LP for repair...
so today I tried swapping my SIM with my friend's
he is using G3 with stock 21A, and his SIM is of the same carrier as mine
after swapping, I found that my phone (and of course his phone, too) is working normally
my phone is normal even after swapping back
did some different tests like switching on and off with 3G, LTE etc., everything is normal, at least at this moment
Still working with you? So it is sim card fault? With me after searching networks everything seems to be ok, but I couldn't connect with LTE. Only sometimes successfull connection.(once a day and after reboot same...) Very strange. :/
I lost network signal randomly... i tried with 30b hybrid modem, 21a, 21c... kdz method, twrp bumped rom... and doesnt help me at all.. my network signal gets a rotating circle randomly... and in that time my phone is out of coverage... it is .... hundred times in a day... i dont know what to do, please help
same here when i use sucks 30b D855, but now everything is ok with me.
Steps that have been followed:
downgrade to lollipop 5.0
install CandySIX Rom , then try to connect to my carrier network , at the first time it not give me anything , but when i reboot my phone , LTE appears and everything fine
back to CloudyG3 2.5 then i found that the problem resolved
My phone now works well
OKAY, i found a solution to the problem and here is what i found :
Pacote-san said:
Same here...
Edited: Fixed this deletings the folder LTEconfigs on System/app
Had to then configure it to auto GSM/WCDMA then switch back to LTE auto
It connected at first with 3g then it went LTE and worked normally

Some people got their phones back to normal by flashing some roms (like CM, ACIP, stock, etc.), but that didn't work for mine
not sure if it was sim card fault, but my problem solved (at that time i was back to LP stock 20h) after swapping my sim cards with my friend's.
i am still using that sim card at this moment, working fine since last thursday
Same problem here, have signal drops on MM roms with LTE connection.
Tried all methods above, nothing really helps .. ;((
The signal is fine on LP roms, tho i installed N&N so i was able to change network type to GSM/WCDMA auto, having steady signal now, but missing LTE speed, trying to find solution to fix this, but unfortunately for now.
Same, my G3 doesn't recognize my sim sometimes or it just loses signal randomly, making the smartphone almost useless.
I tried CloudyG3 2.5 Lollipop, then upgrading to Marshmallow with many radios flashed (also the hybrid one) , then I tried to come back to a stock Lollipop ROM and the signal is always unstable. I'm going crazy due to that. I'm starting to lose hope too.
I think I've tried every possible solution to the connectivity problems I've read since flashing 30b.
Freezing LteConfigs gave me more stability, but didn't solve the problem completely. Tried editing the build.prop to force LTE as preferred network type, this didn't change anything. Don't even know how many times I've changed my apn settings.
Tried every combination of modems possible: 21a/c modem with 30b rpm/tz, pure 21a/c, pure brazilian 20c, brazilian 20c with 30b rpm/tz and nothing. Changed sims multiple times, didn't work.
The only way to get a reliable connection is to limit the phone to 3G... but that isn't a solution since I pay for unlimited 4G. If I let the phone in auto mode, the instant it tries to connect I lose all connectivity and it would take up to 2 minutes searching for the network.
I'll flash the stock rom today and if it doesn't work I can safely say it should be a hardware problem.

I had exactly the same problems I tried all of the solutions mentioned modems/roms/etc but what solved it for me was flashing the Pure stock MM kdz now no signal drops or 4g problems.

Did you root after flashing the kdz? I'll try with pure 30B but having no root is almost as bad as no 4G.

No not rooted it yet, to be honest I don't like the kingroot app it looks way too suspicious to me + the rom is smooth and stable at the moment so I thought I would stick with stock for a while.

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.

Can I just flash this modem? Have a link to the 21c modem?
Flash in twrp or send via LG flash?

No signal, no wifi, no gps

Hello you guys!
I just received my lg g7 g710ulm. And when i turned on the phone i understood that im not lucky.. I need your helps! Please! Because i cant do it myself.
1. No signal. Don't search networks. Immediately getting error when trying to do it myself. "Preferred network mode" can't change due error and it showed "null". After reflashing it's now showing "22".
2. Don't see any wifi networks. But access point is working and other devices can see me.
2.1 I found that wifi going to work then i tried to use gps. After few seconds phone starting see wifi networks and connecting. If turn off wifi and turn on again phone don't see networks and you need to repeat procedure.
3. Looks like gps not working too.. But tried only in indoor.
I can't understand is it software or hardware issue. Maybe seller changed imei number and model by firmware and did it wrong? Antutu showing strange imei.
Can i to know somehow real model of phone? I can try to make logs and attached it here. Or maybe somebode can check imei, bands with octopus box? I dont know what to do
P.S. Bluetooth is working. Tried to send file and it was fine.
I can't return phone to shop because im living in different country But phone is amazing! And I loved lg. I had lg optimus one (was lost and back by good people), then lg optimus black(was burned in bonfire), lg g2(left in taxi), lg g6 (was lost) and finally lg g7. Yeah, looks like something wrong with me or these lg.. But i love it
Did you put in your SIM card first before you started...
I read you need to insert sim first but could be wrong.

Sure, i did it. Anyway don't search networks. But what carrier of sim card and numbers into sim card, phone can recognise.
Maybe i wrote not understandable? My english not first language. So asking. I will try to explain.
Thanks for your reply.
I uploaded a log file with errors but cant to write here link, because i need 10 messages
My G710ULM's GPS stopped working 2 days ago, still trying to find out what's the cause of it. Tried apps like GPS Status, GPS Locker, no avail that it isn't picking any satellites at all. Just searching for GPS location. Restarting the device haven't helped either. In settings I even excluded all apps in Power Saving Exclusions. In GPS Status app, resetted and downloaded the A-GPS, this should surely make the GPS work. No success.

Hello expert. I have an LG G7 ThinQ ULM phone. The problem of this phone is no phone waves signal, 3G, 4G. (a week ago that is good). I think that because the SIM and insert this SIM into other phones, this SIM still works very well. So can you show me how to fix it? Thank you very much!
Note: I was try as below but not success
Go to the Home screen;
Tap on the Phone app;
Switch to the Dial pad;
Type in (*#*#4636#*#*) and just wait – the phone should automatically redirect you to the Service mode;
Once you’ve entered this new mode, tap on Phone Information or Device Information;
Tap on Run Ping test;
Look for the button labeled as Turn Radio Off and select it;
Wait for the phone to restart;
Tap on reboot.
Problem on LG G710ULM OF WIFI, GPRS, SIM CARD READING
Hello i have the same problem on my LG G7 i buyed this motherboard but just problem again . please if you find a way to fix this. someone tell me how to do it :highfive:
hello i have the same problem. no wifi, no network.. enable radio in service menu not resolved problem... any solution??
Solution? I have the same problem
I can fix it with TV for little bucks.
got the same problem after trying to update
I've got the same problem after flashing the android 10 update. Tried android pie and oreo but nothing helped. I will really appreciate any help as this is my daily driver.
my imei wifi mac still exist and working but the problem still persist
update:
finally got my network working all you need is an original qcn backup or flash original modem_a,b partition with QFIL if imei shows null use this tutorial to change ur origin imei/MEID, im not gonna give full tutor or the file since no one answered me, good luck.

hi, i need help, same mistake, i dont get a solution
Hi guys, I bring a solution to this problem, I found this topic: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/no-signal-after-crossflashing.4089281/, you understood better by reading yourselves, but basically I flashed the rom with lg up chip erase mode and my wifi/data started working again, I know this is not recommended under any circumstances but it worked for me.
However, be aware that ChipErase mode not only erases IMEI numbers, but also erases MAC addresses, EFS partition and others. In many countries if your device does not have an IMEI number or other identifiers, SIM networks cannot allow (my case in Brazil it worked) for you to register with them, i.e. in most cases your sim will not work on the phone and you will not have cell service. You may still have issues with WiFi networks as without MAC addresses your WiFi will be grayed out or the network may not allow you to connect. Also, be aware that in many countries around the world knowingly tampering with or changing your phone's IMEI numbers is against the law. IMEI number is how networks and ultimately law enforcement identify the device and its owner
