CM13 Network issues fix - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

After unknowingly upgrading to CM13 from CM12.1 I had to go through several days of troubleshooting and trying to find a correct solution to get the network side working right. At one point I had an app installed that showed that post the APN 2.2 fix I was connected to the cell network and everything should be good. Nonetheless as soon as I disconnect from wifi everything connecting to the internet went dead. I tried both the CM13 (I was sticking with CM13 since it fixed my original issue of no camera/light) from Cyanogenmod and one found here or on another forum.
But as luck would have it I stumbled on a dumb-sounding but working solution.
After installing CM13, apply the GApps, apply the APN 2.2 fix, reboot and let everything settle down. Then reboot into recovery again and reflash CM13 and GApps. Seems that the APN 2.2 fix makes some change somewhere that prevents the network from running on LTE like it should but a reflash corrects that.

It really annoys me that after installing CM12.1 a few weeks ago and deciding to update to a nightly to fix the camera issue I'm suddenly on CM13 instead without warning and following the update channel method that is recommended .... but what are you gonna do?

Data connections issue

Hi all,
I own a Desire GSM version and been running a pre-rooted stock ROM for quite a while and have been very happy with it. I have been running this with an ext3 partition and ran app2sd+ script to make use of it. All good.
My sense of curiosity got stronger and always wanted to try a custom ROM so I tried Cyanogenmod 7 RC1 on Monday.
I have been running the latest Radio (32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27) so didn’t have to update that for CM7.
I formatted the DATA as well as the CACHE before flashing the CM7 ROM, then applied GAPPS to the ROM then restarted the phone.
All went OK and I loved this new ROM, except that I have been experiencing very strange connection issues whether I am on WiFi or 3G (Vodafone AU). The phone will establish connection; however sometimes will not be able to get data out of a request as simple as getting emails, opening a webpage through the stock browser etc …
The workaround to that was to tun off wifi and turn it back on, same for 3G …
I re-flashed numerous times the ROM (formatting the CACHE/DATA each times) but was still experiencing these issues, when sometimes I couldn’t even set my Google account at the first start of the phone…
After a couple of days of scratching my head I did find a potential solution that was suggesting updating the /system/lib/libhtc_ril.so file with the one provided in the nightly build. This had no effect what so ever to the situation.
I then decided to go back to FroYo () so re-flashed the pre-rooted ROM, but then I experienced the exact same issue!! I then re-flashed the Radio ROM thinking this may have been affected by all these changes but no changes at all …
I am a bit at a loss here and don’t know how to fix that really …
Is there any setting that resides on the phone relating to Radio ROM even if I format both Data and Cache each time I flash the ROM??
Thanks for your help guys.
Any ideas on this issue at all ??

Switched from latest VenomROM to latest CM 12.1 nightly - mobile data not working

Hey all,
At this point I'm under the impression that it's the CM Nightly that's giving me issue, but here's the rundown in case anybody has any ideas before I revert to a past CM nightly, or a full rollback to VenomROM.
I had the latest build of VenomROM, and yesterday decided to give the new CM 12.1 Nightly builds a shot as my buddy told me it was looking super slick and seemed to be pretty good.
I do the usual when switching custom ROMs, and while everything else is working just fine, my mobile data seems to not work. I can make phone calls and get text messages just fine. But anything related to data I currently have to be connected to WiFi to access.
As far as I know, my phone/carrier firmware is up to date, as the issue with "non-Lollipop firmware + VenomROM = no Wi-Fi" was a non-issue for me.
For the record, my carrier is Rogers. It looks like my APN list and settings are what they should be (according to Rogers), and I've tried some things their tech support asked me to earlier today "Restore Default Settings" for APN's, taking out and reseating the SIM card, turning off my phone while they reset things with my account/SIM from their end, and all to no avail, even a wipe and re-install of the CM Rom produced a no-go.
Anybody got anything else I can try before I revert back to VenomROM? As much as I liked it, I'm really digging the look and feel of the CM nightlies.
Cheers,
shutuppat

Zuk z2(Plus) Wifi Issue

Hello folks!
I recently found a strange bug on my Zuk Z2(Plus).
I was running it in AICP 20170901 build along with Orbot App. I had a situation when the phone started heating up and the battery drain became faster. As I was travelling and wanted to save the last ounce of juice, I deleted Orbot, to cool down the phone as it was continuously running in the background. My phone got switched off later, but once I was able to charge it, I tried connecting it to my home Wifi network. It just kept showing "Connecting" and later "Saved", but never connected. After repeated attempts to connect, it shows "Saved". Frustrated with this, I did a clean wipe and installed a previous backup of AICP 20170901 build which I saved a few days prior to this. But to my surprise, I was again unable to connect. It kept doing the same thing.
So, I did a clean wipe and did a fresh install of AICP 20170901 build and again, the same thing kept repeating. So, I installed the stock rom to check if it might work on that, but to my luck it didn't. So, I switched back to my earlier backup of AICP, and installed Dark Moon Kernel 004.1, But again no luck.
Between multiple ROM switches, it sometimes connects to the network and doesn't connect to the internet and then gets automatically disconnected.
Is there some fix to this. I think Orbot messed up something, and I am unfortunately not that tech savvy to find out what it did. Orbot is meant to replicate Onion Router, but landed me in a soup
Please advice.

Use some other rom... Recommended crdroid latest build... Use picogapps... And try again...
The issue could be rom related and even after trying new rom the problem still persists then it could be a baseband issue...
Try the recommended rom first with complete full wipe .. Good luck
Hi,
Were you able to fix this?
I'm facing the same issue. Tried several basebands and ROMS. Also, flashed stock rom through QFIL/QPST, but the issue is still there.
Thanks,

Were you able to fix it??? How did you resolve? After three years, I faced this issue all of a sudden after I changed my phone's battery, and tried everything with software but no fix. Any possibility that it is a hardware issue? How can it be deeply inspected to find the real cause of this problem?

Is there any fix found for this? or is it forever? Need help, need to give this phone to someone but can't fix this issue. Please help through any ways.
You may try resetting the carrier and wifi network. This may help.

Most stable Rom for LG g-pad 7.0 v410?

Hi, I have the latest CM12 installed in my tablet, but I have a lot of issues, especially when installing multiple apps or if I try to change the Launcher. It gets into boot loop and there is nothing one can do but re-flash the rom, which is pretty annoying. It has happened to me already 3 times in a short while and I am thinking of flashing LineageOS. However, I hear it is still very buggy, especially the issues with wifi. So I would like to ask which is the least buggy Rom for 7.0 v410 or if there is a way to avoid CM12 from getting the problem with boot loop.
Boot loop has been caused when trying to change Launcher (because trebuchet regularly crashes), when installing x-plore file manager and in a clean flash when I attempted to install multiple apps at the same time. In all cases it got stack in boot loop, or would start only to restart after a while, endlessly.
Finally, I opted for LineageOS 14.1.
I had the 11-11 Nightly for some time and seemed fine. Today I updated to 25-11 Nightly. It feels maybe slightly laggy, but still checking it.
I have also installed "Best WiFi Keeper" app from play store and it generally keeps me connected. However, if connection is lost (e.g at restart or if I get out of range), I have to reconnect manually. I tried few apps for reconnecting but nothing worked. It appears that although the WiFi network is seen, the tablet cannot really re-establish the connection automatically.
I found Nothing stable yet.. In last few days, I have installed CM 12.1, same trouble.. I installed Tipsy and Tesle, unable to install apps from playstore. Tried CM 13 and Lineage OS latest build as you, Wifi Teathering and USB teathering not working and same problem with wifi connectivity. Keed posted if you find something better.. I shall too...
Tesla works great for me. I'm running a lollipop version that's still on androidfilehost; I'm not sure if GZR ever got updated beyond 5.1 for V410.
I've had CM 14.1 (long enough ago it was still CM and not LOS) on the tablet, and it felt like it would get laggy. That could just be from junk my kid installs though, but I don't seem to have that problem with Tesla.
I installed Tesla (Tesla-v410-5.1.1.High_Voltage.2.2.1-Release-20150902.zip from https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347807214) with open G apps but getting errors while installing apps from Play store(Some error code 963 - tried cleaning cache of playstore, play services download manager, removing google account and adding again - Nothing works). Same situation with tipsy. Any help?

That is probably what I'm running, I don't have my tablet right now. I think I flashed it with opengapps nano. I didn't have to do anything unusual to get play store to work.
Tipsy uses the same base as Tesla and Validus. Since it is persisting across multiple flashes and roms, consider formatting the internal storage if it isn't too much hassle, the TWRP wipe where you have to type "yes" to confirm. Sometimes some remnants in userdata that aren't touched by the normal system/data/cache/dalvik wipe cause problems like this and can persist the way you're describing.
Just make sure you have rom and gapps on an external SD or you have confirmed you can push files to the tablet in TWRP over usb via mtp or adb before you blank the internal storage.

I'm on Tesla, but it has the same base as Tipsy. I don't have data on the tablet so it isn't a 100% conclusive test, but it doesn't seem to work. The switch for USB tethering never turns on. Wifi turns on but never connects properly. My laptop does briefly show connection then disconnects with both USB and wifi tethering. It could be because there is no data connection on my tablet, but looking through dmesg on the laptop gives me the impression that something on the tablet isn't working right.

I'm on lineageOs 14.1 which is alright though the wifi issue is still there. However, someone may have found a solution, but I don't know how to implement it. Check posts 207, 210 and 215 in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g-...eageos-14-1-v400-lg-g-pad-7-0-t3583952/page22

Would you (or anyone who sees this) please tell me is it possible to flash TWRP if I'm on 5.0.2? Or must I downgrade first?
I'm rooted already. TBH stock is pretty solid and if the custom roms have too many bugs I might pass. But I would like to flash Viper4Android and don't think I've ever installed it without a custom recovery. Many thanks in advance.

I made the same question more or less, over a year ago here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/help-installing-cm-t3483074
You cannot flash another rom over lollipop and I've never seen twrp for android 5.0.2 for v410. I am not 100% sure because my question was a bit different, but I assume from the replies, that probably not.

Thanks. That's more or less what I thought. From what I'm hearing there are some bugs in the roms that no doubt aren't being maintained at this late stage so I think I'll stick with stock (would be nice to have a custom recovery though.)
Not that it matters (a year later) but lots of people root with Kingroot when there isn't another option and there's several ways to remove all the bits left behind and switch it to supersu.
Thanks again!
Well, I have a work around to stop wifi from disconnecting in lineage os. After that I did not know when wifi got disconnected and reconnected.
Just download E-Robot from playstore.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bartat.android.robot
And set it to settings as per screen shot.

It works! Thank you so much! It seems the LOS developers have stopped trying to fix the wifi issue but it is important. The workaround even works at restart, with some delay, but it works!
Just to clarify to newbies like me, where ssid you have to put the name of the network you want to connect. I wonder if one can add more networks, so it can connect to any saved network according to where you are. You think that's possible?

That would be great.. I shall try.. if successful, I shall post results.
I have a uk410, the US Cellular variant of the v410. I tried the CM12.1 "stable" release cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1K5-v410.zip found here (archive.org/download/cmarchive_snapshots), along with Open GApps nano for 5.1 (opengapps.org/?api=5.1), and quickly got the infinite rebooting issue.
I then switched to the Telsa ROM mentioned earlier in this thread (Tesla-v410-5.1.1.High_Voltage.2.2.1-Release-20150902.zip) found at androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347807214, again with Open GApps nano for 5.1 (build open_gapps-arm-5.1-nano-20180922.zip), and have been running it with no issues for two days. My wifi is connected, and stays connected (tested two different routers), Play Store and apps have been working fine, and no crashes so far.
I'm using TWRP 3.1 (twrp-3.1.0-0-v410.img).
Thanks for mentioning Tesla, @jason2678 !
So like all of you I was looking for a rom to install on this v410 7" tablet, and it looks like I should just give up or stick with 4.4.2 stock if I want to go through the rooting process.
Basically all the development roms end with the same problems, wifi dropping, hostspot not working, no ir blaster, volume problems, bluetooth errors, and several hundred posts about lolipop memory leaks crippling the tablet because of only 1gb mem.
So, I am asking all of you, is there any real reason to root it, besides going back to stock 4.4.2?
And lastly, is the stock 4.4.2 kdz image that is floating around a test version, and if so is there an actual official kdz image somewhere that isn't a test image?
Thanks...
CrDroid by far in my opinion. Lineage based, 7.1.2.
Also, e/ os has been unofficially released. No Google anything...an entirely new Google list operating system by lineage. It's lightning fast and runs magisk perfectly. It's basically like nothing you've ever seen before and if you look under LG g pad 7.0 on Android file host, go to the second page and click on the last user who goes by the name anonymous and you'll find the ROM there. I had no idea what it was until my g pad boot it up and I saw the e logo. I pretty much **** myself in excitement

Sounds like a major issue , after watching the video, 2 things I would try remove sim reboot then try, of still fails the ROM must be corrupt , I would reinstall/flash sounds like you tried a factory reset so thats what I would do
thank you for your response. I did remove the sim and factory reset but no change. Can I reeinstall without having the phone unlocked? or is that only possible with an unlocked phone and the fastboot thing?
edit: found out how to local update rom, going to that and see how it goes.
edit2: installed a new rom but the issue still persist.
