Data Issue in Custom ROMs - Asus Zenfone 5Z Questions & Answers

Hi all,
I tried almost all pie and 10 ROMs for 5Z and they all work great.
However, in all my flashing endeavors, I had data issues in some ROMs; like the data won't work at all, even after setting up the correct APN (RIL works perfectly fine).
Interestingly this bug (don't know what to call it) is random, if i flash the same ROM again and if I am lucky the data works just fine; it's a total hit and miss and it is just plain annoying. Although, there is absolutely no data problem on stock (any vendor) but this happens if I try and flash any ROM.
Any advise? what can i do to sort this out?

I had similar problem, but the problem was Roaming. Out of the country i was not able to use 3G/4G. I tried all customs roms, but it was still the same issue. So i went back to stock and it works without any problems.

Same here. All roms worked pretty well (e.gL ineage, Havoc) except for Android Auto and roaming. Data worked, except when roaming. Was never able to get a connection. Back to stock all worked. Could not find a solution.

Precisely the problem.
Is there anyway you got it to work or figured out to make it work?
I honestly hate the stock ROM and would love to use an Android 10 ROM.

No Service with any ROMS

Hi, I've looked around these forums to try and find something similar but have been unable to - if there is then point me in that direction, please!
I've been messing about with my phone trying different roms, namely CM10, Slim Bean and Sphongle. I've used the guides here and the kernels they recommend.
Each one installs and works perfectly, except that I get no service with each. I've tried a few different methods of fixing it, but none work. Interestingly, I get very poor wifi strength unless I am very close to the router, any more than about 4m and it almost completely drops out - I don't know if that is related.
The sim card is definitely working as I've tested it in another phone. I also have a full IMEI number. I'm with Vodafone UK (GSM).
Any ideas?
Thanks!:good:

Make sure the cover to the SD card slot is back in place.

Verizon Galaxy Nexus wireless tether on CyanogenMod 10.1.2

Asked in the official thread on the development forums, but so far no replies after several days. I am wanting to get some form of tether working on this ROM, but so far nothing works. From trying the built-in tethering function to using Android-Wifi-Tether, nothing is working. I know there are some tether issues with JB ROMs on this phone, but usually they are easy to overcome with a patch from the ROM devs themselves.
Has anyone gotten tether to work on this specific ROM, and how did you go about doing it.
Thanks

I used to use CM 10.1. I dont think I ever went to 10.1.2 but I dont think it makes a difference. I just remember going to 10.2. But every CM ROM I was on, the native tethering worked fine for me. I'm on Verizon though. I dont know if that makes a difference either.
EDIT: Saw you were on Verizon. It should work unless I'm forgetting something
So far I have tried CM 10.2 nightly 9/15 and 9/17 and the 10.1.2 stable release and the native tethering doesn't work on any of them. I can connect using it, but the connection is limited and no data is transferred at all. I was using a custom ROM from MWalt and I had to use his native tethering patch to get it to work on JB roms.

I dont know whats going on with your phone then. I've never had an issue with tethering and I've never used a patch. What are you trying to tether to? Some devices may have issues with the type of signal the Galaxy Nexus puts out. For example, there is a thread around here about tethering issues with the Xbox.
Have tried my laptop, a tablet and a 3DS. None of them work. I can see the network and connect, but no data is ever transferred. On ICS roms I didn't have to do anything to get tether to work right out of the box. But starting with JB, I have had to use either patches or workarounds to get the native tethering to work on any ROM I try.

Sorry man. I have no idea whats wrong. The only thing I can recommend is maybe try flashing the stock image and see if it fixes anything. I know thats not what people want to hear. But unless someone else says they are having the same problem, it would seem to be only happening with your device. Another possibility, I guess, could be your radios. Did you flash any other radios on your device?
I am using this radio from 3/5. What radio are you using, and is it safe to back down to a prior one?

I'm pretty sure those are the ones I am using too. I wouldn't revert to older ones until someone with more experience says its ok. I dont want to say yes and have your phone break. I dont know what to tel you though. If you have the time, I'd say just start from scratch and see if it fixes it.
Start fresh as in going back to stock 4.2.2 or whatever the latest is? I tried that between flashing the different CM versions but with JB roms I have to apply a patch before native tethering works for some reason. I will try different radios when someone confirms you can back down to an earlier set without issue.

Alright. Sorry I couldnt be more help.
Your help is appreciated. At least I know that I can tether, just depends on if I want to move to certain ROMs or not. Hopefully I can get CM to tether as its one of the best running ROMs I have used for this phone.
The only time I had an issue tethering on CM is when I ran AK kernel. Stock cm kernel and Franco kernel always worked fine however. I'm not sure what the difference was....

Issue with Madhi-ROM 4.4.2 and data

Hello,
I have flashed Madhi-ROM 4.4.2 yesterday night and it had LTE working properly. Today, I ran into an issue where it would no longer connect to data at all. I have reflashed the stock rom and updated profile and prl then reflashed Madhi-rom 4.4.2 and at the screen "Activate mobile data service", it just keeps running and occasionally make a call to activate mobile data which ends up failing. I don't know if this is a common issue, but I'd like my mobile data to work. Other than this issue, I think its a very nice rom. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

oh okay
Seems like some people have been having 4G connection issues not only with Mahdi but other Roms as well.
Here are some of the suggestions:
Toggle Airplane mode for 10 seconds then turn off
Dirty flash ROM again
Return to stock and update PRL then reflash custom ROM
Keep data connection at 3G and live with it
You can also try flashing and comparing the Gee version vs. the ls970 version
It's hit or miss with this phone. No rhyme or reason for no consistency for such a basic requirement
I'm sure more experienced members will offer more suggestions
Hope this helps
Yeah, LTE is extremely sketchy on AOSP ROMs, Gee or LS970. Since the connection is just so inconsistent, I've found that the best thing to do is, as listed above, toggle airplane mode on/off, reflashing, or just sticking with 3G. 4G works flawlessly on stock LG ROMs though.

Thank you guys for the help. I tried all the fixes above with no luck. I have reverted back to the stock rom since I rather have my mobile data working than run an AOSP rom.

I believe I've struck gold with the latest Dirty Unicorn ROM!
Everything works: 4G, GPS, yes and even google calendar.
At first, I could only get 3G then one of options was just to simply display 4G instead of LTE in status bar then viola, 4G!
Probably just coincidence but I am one happy dude!
Might want to give DU a try

Have you tried SuperNexus? Honestly heard nothing but good things about this rom as long as the installation instructions are followed exactly. LTE, GPS, Bluetooth, and battery life are all working from what i've heard, you might wanna give it a try.

Need HELP Microphone/Dialer

I have tried installing multiple different custom rom's and I have also had the stock JB rom.
I don't know why, I really don't, but Custom rom's that are 4.3 or above mess around with my t989.
The calling never works, so say I just turned on my phone, it's just booted, I can make a few calls and everything is fine, the minute I hang up, and wana call another person within the next 3-5 Minutes, it's gone. It doesn't work anymore.
I don't get why the calling does not work on any KITKAT ROM.
It doesn't work on CM 10.1.3, 10.2, 11, Liquid smooth and now hellkat... it's a shame.
After a while, when you try to make a call or when you receive one, You can't hear the other side and the other side cannot hear you either.
I have had this problem with custom roms, specially 4.3 and above. Hellkat seems to be worse than CM11 calling wise, even though as I see, they have the same dialer and hellkat uses most of CM builds but still.. this sucks. I feel like it's either a software/rom problem or something disabled maybe, i'm not sure. I know, I have great connection (T-mobile) Data working, full signal and everything seems to be fine. However, I don't know what to do to even try to solve/fix it. I hope someone here know's though or someone here can help.
FYI; This doesn't happen on the stock rom (JB 4.1.2) At all. It never happens on stock, just on custom rom's and the only custom rom it doesn't do this on and works fine is ( CM 9.1)
Any solutions anyone knows of?
Thank you.
Replied to you in the other thread. Unless you've played around with different radios, I'm near 90% sure it's snapchat. I don't know why it borks the roms, someone smarter than I will have to answer that. All I do know is that several people with the exact same symptoms uninstalled snapchat and everything went back to normal.

CM ROMs and MMS Issues

So anytime I install a CM based rom I can no longer send or recv MMS. I have ran bliss pop, res.remix. cm 12.1 plain and 13 plain. None of which will allow for MMS. Even installing a 3rd party sms app and manually inserting APN values does nothing. All apn's are correct in system settings.
But as soon as I go back to stock, or a modded/slim version of stock, everything works just fine.
Is there an issue w/ CM and MMS? And if so id there a fix?
thx!

Delete all of the default APNs available and then create a new APN with your APN settings, It should work fine because from my experience any other similar APN settings to the one that you create interferes with your custom made one.
Already did that. Manually added along side default APNs. Added APN alone. Restored default APNs. Nothing.

I have no clue then, this was the only method I did to get my APNs working.
You could try every custom rom until there is one that gets the APNs working
I am on Cricket Wireless and ran into the same issues, even after entering the correct apns and deleting the other ones. This occured on every rom except stock based roms. I have solved the MMS issue by toggling airplane mode on and off every time that I restart the phone, and that pretty much fixes the issue.

I am now running Super Zen which works great. Just wondering why this seems to be a CM issue that hasn't been addressed. I guess not enough people are having the issue. Which in the end could be a Cricket/AIO issue, who knows.
Thanks for the reply. cheers
I have the same issue on ATT. I haven't tried the suggested fix above, but will and see what happens.

So, you just let your phone fully boot, turn airplane mode 'on' for a few seconds than turn it back off. And its all good until the phone is re-booted? Thx

Thanks for the update. Wonder why some people have issues and others don't. Seeing how there are so many CM based roms for this phone, I guess it's only effecting a small amount of us.

I'm running BlissPop on my Z00A in Australia with two SIM cards as a daily driver. Vodafone (SIM1) for personal and Telstra (SIM2) for work.
Firstly I'm pretty pissed I can't do MMS on SIM2. I thought I could at least do it slowly over 2G. Now I find I can't at all. My priority however, is to get MMS working on SIM1 since most people can email me at work instead.
Toggling airplane mode doesn't work for me either. In addition SIM2 doesn't reconnect until I manually search "Network operators" or reboot.
Unless the MMS on CM issue gets fixed soon I'll be heading to a stock/slim ROM.
Wonder why this has gone on for as long as it has. 12.1 has been out for a long enough time that it should have effected the masses. Unless enough people don't care about MMS.
Has anyone tried a cm13 rom and does the problem still exist?

Yes. I gave up and did a clean flash, and now the aeroplane mode "fix" works for me. Not sure what i did, but my setup now is exactly the same. Restored everything from TiBu.
Hmmmmmmmmmm, strange
Im going to to try a couple 13 roms and see if any will work. Ill report back
