weird bug with phone indicator not functioning properly

by the phone indicator I mean the reception status indicator. after I wake from sleep mode it would not show any reception status at all. I cannot go into phone settings after that, would tell me wait 15 seconds then try again but after 15 seconds, same thing.
I can use the phone however, calls would connect and incoming calls would connect.
a related bug that I noticed, I cannot disable flight mode properly either. after entering flight mode phone shuts off (normal) but when I wake it would not come back alive. phone indicator remains with an 'X' on it and I cannot force it to register on my network.
running on Rogers Wireless in Canada. although I doubt the network is causing this grief.
anyone else experience this? so far there's only 1 ROM version available that I'm aware of. so I don't think that'll have any effects on this.
suggestions would be appericiated.

btw forgot to mention I'm on an I-mate K-JAM.
all else set aside this is an excellent device. being my first pocket PC I know I will have a great experience playing with WM5.
I have tried manually setting all sleep options to 0 with PHM regedit. that includes BT and phone.
in case any fellow Canadians are wondering about the availability of K JAM in canada. the answer is NO. I had to order it from a US store, paid a fortune clearing it from the customs and waited 2 weeks for shipping. tough luck being a Canadian .

Yep, this happens on mine as well. Sometimes it goes so far as to say "SIM status unknown." I hope a ROM update can fix it.

I have had the same issue on occasion... Not sure if it 3rd party software doing it though... Don't want to hard reset just yet...

I could not exit flight mode one time. Soft reset fixed it.

somewhat of a fix. I just turn power off after 3 min thing off while on battery. manually lock keys and turn screen off everytime I finish using the unit. the battery definitely sucks a whole lot more but phone don't go to sleep anymore which fixes the whole not recovering reception issue. and flight mode seems to work better as well.

Same here with my Qtek 9100. And my 9100 continues to show the roaming icon even if I am under coverage of my home network (Vodafone Italy). I think that this one is a SIM related bug (I tried to use another SIM and everything was fine), waiting for the next ROM update.

Mobile network stopped working MoDaCo 1.1

So, my brother and I have been running MoDaCo 1.1 core for a couple days now.
My phone has stopped connecting to the mobile network. All it says when I try to connect is "Standby for connecting to mobile network" with a green checkbox. I also notice now when I select the checkbox to connect it turns green instantly and shows that standby message. Before it would take a couple seconds to connect and turn green.
I have tried changing the mode of operation and it still doesn't want to connect. There is no 1x or EVDO in the notification bar. Wifi and GPS still work fine.
My brother's phone is still working fine. I have no idea what the problem can be.
Anybody else having this problem with MoDaCo 1.1?

I think that it has something to do with airplane mode. I enabled airplane mode yesterday, then turned it off. I didn't realize my data wasn't working after that since I don't use it while I'm at home. I am not sure if that is exactly the problem, just trying to think about how it could have stopped working.

I've noticed mine will do this at random on the MoDaCo 1.1 ROM. Every now and then I'll look at my phone and realize my EV symbol at the top is gone and I have no network connection. When this happens both the option in Settings and the small on/off widget on one of my home screens say it's still turned on. If I turn it off and back on, then I just get the "Standby for connecting to mobile network" message too. The only way I've found to get it to work again is to reboot the phone.

FYI this same problem happens to me with the stock ROM, even when it wasn't rooted. I've noticed it only happens when you turn airplane mode on, and then off.

Hmmm...I never touch airplane mode and I never saw this happen once in the month that I had the phone with the stock ROM. Maybe my problem is unrelated then.

Even when I reboot my phone it still doesn't work. I have tried messing around with the widgets turning things on and off multiple times and still nothing can get it working again.

I just went back to an old nandroid backup from before I put MoDaCo 1.1 on the phone and it seems to be working again. I'm going to put 1.1 on again. I'll use it for a while and try to recreate the problem to figure out exactly what it is.

Sprint/HTC has to fix that. it's a bug.

N1 data connection issue... please help!

Hi everyone, I had a quick question I needed your assistance on.
Sometime I put my N1 into Airplane mode to save battery and when I finally turn airplane mode off I can never seem to get a data connection unless I totally shut off the phone and turn it back on again. Coming out of Airplane mode there will be a 3g signal on the status bar but only the up arrow will light up and anything needing data (browser, market, etc) wont work unless I totally shut off the phone and turn it back on again. Is this happening to you too?
The same thing happens if I open up the Quick Settings app and turn off mobile data (to save battery) and when I turn mobile data back on I have to restart the phone entirely for it to work properly.
It seems like my phone might be having an issue with data connection so I might have to call up HTC about it but I wanted to find out from the other members on the forum if this was happening to them too.
Thank you for your help

It's happened to me before using APNdroid.
Apparently you can fix it by turning the radio on and off in the testing menu (*#*#4636#*#), never tried it though.

Screen on with no reason and battery drains...

i have read an old thread with a similar, not solved, problem, but i didn't wanted to write in a so old thread...
so...
when the wifi radio is on, my iconia a500 suddendly turns on the screen and it stays on also for various minutes, sometimes i guess also until the battery is completely finished (i have found more than once the tablet off because of battery drained in the morning, so i guess it was with screen on all night long)
this happens also if i set wifi to go off when display is off.
i have tried many different roms (taboonay, lightspeed ... and now i have thor rom 14.2, installed yesterday) but the problem is always here.
if i manually turn off wifi, this seems to never happen... or at least it never happened while i was watching the tablet during the last months
does anybody knows a solution, a hint... or anything that could be helpful to make this issue less annoying?
thanks!

You might have a program installed that is constantly calling for wifi access?
That's the only thing I can think of?
On my Rom, I haven't ever experienced that problem.
My settings are as follows:
Airplane mode on
Wifi On
Wifi disconnect policy: when screen turns off.

also when i just turn it on it happens, even with no services or program needing wifi...
but you gave a me a good idea to try...
i will put airplane mode on and check what happens now
and anyway, i'll check again my programs

If airplane mode is turned on doesn't that over ride the wifi on setting?
So if airplane mode is on wifi will always be off so the disconnect setting has no bearing.
Can someone please confirm above or explain..
thanks

no, you can put airplane mode and then turn on wifi
and seems like it is working well... but i don't want to talk too early...

Airplane mode is for tablet/phones with data connections. Airplane mode just turns that off

Yes, but for some strange reason it helps with the wake up problem some have

That's what I was getting at - when airplane mode is turned on it overrides all other settings and wifi can not be engaged in any way until it (airplane mode)is turned off.

Yup I was just answering Spud
Airplane mode only refers to the 3g/4g cell radio (so it turns off wireless network data/phone calls/texts etc.). You can still turn on wifi and use it when airplane mode is on because this is a different radio (well in the a500 there is no 3g radio). After all many airplanes now have wifi on board, however you're still supposed to have it airplane mode.

Thanks.
I haven't been able to turn in wifi with airplane mode on - it takes a longer push (hold) on the wifi button to engage.
I now have wifi on with airplane mode on - didn't realize airplane didn't also disable wifi.

Incorrect! You turn Airplane Mode on, which turns off wifi, then turn on wifi with Airplane Mode still turned on (and airplane mode stays on with wifi turned on as well).

after some days trying i have noticed that putting in airplane mode solves the problem...
but not always the tablet turns off wifi and stay in airplane mode when i turn off the display, it is surely some annoying app (or widget) that makes this happen.
i'm trying to understand which one

The only way to do that is process of elimination. Knocking out the variables one by one until you find the culprit, which has the potential to be a long, painstaking process. Start by uninstalling, one by one your apps that require internet access, and wait a couple days In between each one to see how your tab reacts.Then again, it may be an app that you wouldn't think needs wifi access to work, but in the background is calling for access.
Good luck with it!

Well there you have it.
All stock based ROMs allow it to be done.

Wi-fi is bricked

Ok, so my phone has this problem where it keeps turning on and off randomly, which I think is now known is an issue with some LG G2's and you know I hate it but I guesss I can live with it. Even though if any of you have a solution for that please tell me. But now one time when it turned off and then powered back on, the wifi stopped working. I don't mean my network, I mean the actual wifi on my phone. When I scroll down my notification bar, the wifi logo is grey but it's flashing, like it usually does when you turn it on, but it doesn't turn blue. When I got to the wifi section on my setting, the on and off switch is greyed out (but faintly blue, even though you can't touch it), and when I tap on the wifi section itself, it just says "wifi turning on.." HELP PLEASE

re flash the rom. i have things happened like that before, wiping all and flashing another rom fix, or go back to stock, sometimes the options settings are grey out. that fixes it.
