Hey guys,
Here is the scoop, my Dream was working perfectly and all of a sudden my phone said no service.
After troubleshooting a bit and no luck I decided to wipe the phone and start fresh in case I installed something that messed it up, still nothing.
I took my sim card out and cleaned the contacts with rubbing alcohol to make sure all was good and still no service. I then decided to use only 2G and my service came back. According to Robbers my account is good because I tried my sim card in an IPhone 3g and I get full reception in 3g no problems.
I cant find any info on this..Can anyone help?
Same here
Same here, fastest way I found to fix it was to reboot the dam thing...
God I hate myself for installing the last "mandatory" upgrade...
Rebooting didnt help... the ONLY way I got service was to force only 2g.. nothing else worked.
Check that you have the proper apn settings. Some ROMs don't have them right/don't have them.
I'm on Robbers latest e911 fix rom... unrooted no cooked rom installed.
I have been on both ICS roms for awhile recently on Texas Ice with p8, new kernel. Lost 3g, only have 2g or wifi.
Went back to MeDroid 6.1 which was rock solid--no 3g
Back to CM7 no 3g
I did the *# method/redid apn's/called tmo/did Network Operators/flashed new radio--same as I had--.12 and also tried .08
Short of passimg, not sure what to try--don't know that passimg would do anything anyway.
I have occasionally had 3g pop up then it disappears
Sons phone has 3g, so not an area issue
Anyone have and solve this or any other ideas--this is first time I have had and not been able to resolve--yet
Ken
EDIT: Oops--meant this to be in Q&A--can it be moved--
Have you tried a complete wipe? Short of that, I'm not positive. I am running MeDroid ICS and my 3g and H are running fine. I have not tried the TexasIce flavor with the new kernel since it says it's not ready to be a daily driver.
thanks
I wiped all and restored several diff roms and reflashed a fresh ICS 6.1
At a loss atm
EDIT: Oops--meant this to be in Q&A--can it be moved--
As you seen, I have had the same problem. On evervolve's ROM it was working fine for me. I just flashed it to try it, no restore. I tried several reboots with changing the carrier settings but no luck. I noticed this on the MeDroid test ROM only so far.
try to install 4ext recovery, do a full wipe in the wipe menu, you will found it in the last option by scrolling, and try cm7 or even the stock android first, if its working we will test other things
mine started on T's rom
called tmo--no luck
almost sounds like they did something--but that makes no sense
you saw all that i did--so at a loss barring passimg--that doesn't sound like a solution
got to call it a nite--maybe it will return tomorrow--yeah right--
if you thing its your provider, try another sim card from a friend

yeah 3g or 4g its only what the cellphone signal can take. sim card should be the same (now we can find micro sim card)
4ext because I know they have a good wipe, format script that wipe everything.
otherwise, it could be your sim card. I know that sim card have a life time, mine worked only one year, and burned after that, I had to bough a new one.

I use temasek's extreme wipe 3x and still do data and all else in recovery 3x--wipe should be good--redid sdcard too with sdformatter
doesn't the carrier need to change my info if i swap or get a new sim
yeah they have to link your phone number with the new sim number in their system. if the problem is the sim card.
that's why i suggest to try another sim card, try your son's one if he have a data package. putting another sim card will only temporary have his phone number and data plan and will not change any configuration of your phone
i was going to try that, but he has a sim lock code and we don't remember what it was, so some research required first
only thing that seems odd is several people have same issue and on tmo--unless they have data on other roms--
new sim seems to have done the trick--fingers crossed--
wasn't much left to be wrong after all i did to troubleshoot last nite
phone system info shows umts:3
just have pesky voicemail icon in status bar, but no voicemails and can't get rid of it-- (FIXED)
thanks for all help guys--

Well, it is not solved
Had 3g all day after new sim till I got home and got on Chrome to Phone and Chrome Beta, then no more 3g, only Edge.
Mattter of fact that is the only thing different the last two days is Chrome Beta.
Hate to get another sim just to prove theory, which I don't see how Chrome can cut out my data connection.
Back to square one--
Back to Temasek's Kang for now, but 3g seems to work on road and at work albeit low signal at work. Only edge at home. Turned off router and wifi, no help.
Son's mytouch has 4g so it must be a new location issue at my house and my phone can't deal with the lower reception or something changed on my phone's reception. Not sure--
Either way it is now workable and will test for awhile and go back on ICS, no more Chrome Beta though. I am superstitious--
Hi, My Nexus 4 got no service already 1 week++. I already tested with the other SIM card and I also do a research on Internet. On Internet, also got many people faced this problem. On Internet, many people said the nexus 4 cant accept the SIM card that is normal SIM card cut into micro SIM card, must use the original micro SIM card. I also try with the solution and I bought a SIM card that is original SIM card but the micro SIM card also doesn't work. All the SIM card are cant detected by he nexus 4, will the Sim Card tray broken. My phone are protected by cover since day one and never dropped into water. I wish LG can fix this problem and help me to fix this problem, this really cause me a lot of problem. Regards, Tang.

Sorry for my English.

For what its worth
I cut my micro sim ( with a punch ) and it works fine
check in settings if you have a baseband installed sometimes it uninstalls by itself so that could be the problem

Hi, thanks for reply.
Where to check, in setting app? Or Installed apps?

Settings > About phone > Baseband version
Does the phone ask you to insert SIM, or are you unable to connect to your cell provider?
If you are asked to insert SIM, you may have a bad SIM slot (broken pin contacts), or the SIM is placed incorrectly in the slot.
If you just have no service, check your phone number is displayed correctly in "About phone" and try to scan for available networks in:
Settings > Wireless & networks (more) > Mobile networks > Network operators
then use "Choose automatically"
Will the sim tray broken. My nexus 4 is running JB Stock and no root.

Had the exact same problem. Had no service at all (the network icon was just a triangle), no baseband, no IMEI. This is what I tried so far. My phone was stock 4.3 before my experiments :
1. Tried toggling *#*#4636#*#*, tried all the options there - no luck. Radio was "off", and no matter how many times I tried to click on Turn On Radio, it wouldnt start
2. Tried switching Sim cards, from same operator and from a different operator, no luck
3. Did a factory reset using the settings menu - no change
4. Finally, rooted the phone using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312 (First time ever, complete noob here). Everything went smoothly. Installed all the standard stuff from the 4.3 image.
Now, I could see the radio intermittently turn on and off - what a relief ! Atleast I knew there exists a chance this is not a hardware issue. I was getting service for 10 seconds, then it was going off for 10 seconds. This was happening continuously.
5. Tried *#*#4636#*#* and toggling all options again, (even GSM only, WDCMA only, preferred etc). I am in India and using Idea Cellular.
6. Searched like crazy on the xda forum for possible solutions - decided I'll try out a different radio version (I had 0.84 on mine) from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087227 - If you're a complete noob like me and dont know what the hell I'm talking about, trust me, flashing a radio is not that difficult. Just refer to my earlier thread link
7. Tried flashing each and every radio from 0.24 - 0.84. Mixed results. Except for 0.83 and 0.84 all other radios atleast maintain signal throughout. However it never turns "blue" - I cannot access the internet from my phone - I have a data plan, the apn information is correct and every other setting is proper (airplane mode off, data on etc). The other odd thing is I can call and receive calls, however there is absolutely no audio !
By elimination - I think there are only two options here - either this has something to do with the 4.3 update altogether, or this is a hardware glitch on the nexus 4 which is activated by some unique sequence of steps. Please note I did NOTHING "illegal" on the phone before this problem - no rooting no custom software, not even any apps which mainstream users would call "shady" - just the usual FB, Mail apps, my corporate mail account.
Any ideas here - I am going to go ahead and try flashing my phone back to stock 4.2.2 again, and hope that works !! Please help ! And apologies for the tremendously long post first up

NoobNexus

In the off-chance you might still read this: I'm having the same problem, just as some other Nexus 4 users: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/nexus-4-service-t2501076/post61681896#post61681896

i recently buy a nexus 4 from ebay, only for nostalgia, so, when i receive the cellphone, i turn on without a sim inside, connected to wifi and the phone request for 3 upgrades of security, the nexus was in 5.1.1, the last than ir support, so i accepted the upgrades and the nighmare start, when i put my sim, the nexus not recognized it, i try everything, put in airplane mode and back and nothing, full reset from recovery twice and nothing.
So, i unlock the bootloader, install a recovery (clockwork) and root, after download from google the formware 4.4.4 for nexus 4, start the downgrade, when my nexus wake up in kitkat with my at&t (mexico) sim inside, the same problem, still not detecting simcard, i connect to wifi and the cellphone request for an upgrade, android 5.0.1 , click in next and the nexus start downloading and installing the upgrade, after 15 minutes, again with the sim indide, wake up with lollipop and the signal come back again ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
My nexus after 24hrs is still with signal, whitout problems, but still request for the other 3 upgrades ( android 5.1.1 and other two upgrades for security), but with previous experience.... i will keep in 5.0.1......
Hello guys,
I've a problem with my phone. I have no mobile connection, but it isn't Modem related (I think).
It all happened when i went back to 4.3 TW (XXUEML6), I've always used broodplanks aosp rom.
First i thought it was a modem issue so i checked my modem but it was ML6
Tried to fix it with some reboots, wiping cache, factory reset, full reset and reflashing of both TW and AOSP.
I later flashed my previous modem, the problem still presists.
Now to get to the weird part: I've no mobile connection (No service) BUT can use my Mobile Internet and Wi-Fi.
Can't recieve/make calls, neither sms. But mobile internet works perfectly
I'm beyond desperation,
Can you please help me?
Greats
Could be a sim problem.

Blowed out sim tray and wiped sim.. Hope it's related to the sim and not the phone
If it was a sim problem, I wouldn't be able to give in my pin at boot, and wouldn't have any acces to Mobile Internet (not talking about Wi-Fi)...
Well it' almost 3AM here so have no-one i can ask for his/her sim. If you got any other suggestions I'm happy to try.
Reset APN else change your sim..
Send my signature phone to XDA with bad grammar
It can be your sim.I used a cut down one (iphone5) and put it in an adapter to make it a microsim.I had mobile data, but couldnt call or send texts.Used to happen daily, but sometimes phone displayed triangle=no sim inserted.Other times nothing was displayed (meaning I was fooled into thinking there was no problems).
Only once, for about 2 seconds have I had any problems with sim since I changed it for a proper micro one a week ago.
I thought it could be the sim holder also, as a few people have had problems with them.

Well strangly the phone has came to its senses overnight without doing anything. Now it's a game of waiting...
Because it happened a couple of times in the previous 2-3 days
A little "update": I've tried my sim in another phone, it worked.. Another sim in my phone also worked.
EDIT: I flashed stock XXUEML6 firmware and took care that I got "Official" (yes i've tripped knox a long time ago).
So far so good. So i guess latest official FW fixed the problem

Before I get flamed for not searching, I did, and I couldn't find one, so here goes.
My friend flashed CyanogenMod 12 on his Grand 2, and everything works perfectly well, except for one weird thing that I've never seen before, ever.
He uses 2 SIMS in his phone and while the data works on SIM 2, it doesn't on SIM 1. However, the SIM put in another phone works fine. Here's what I tried:
Switched SIM slots. Not worked.
Allow data roaming is enabled (he is indeed roaming).
Changed the ROM. Still nope.
So to summarize, the SIM can connect to internet on any other phone. My friend's phone can connect to internet using any other SIM. Only this particular SIM isn't working in this particular phone, except for some selected areas.
The only thing I haven't tried is going back to a Samsung ROM and flashing a different radio. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a Radio collection anywhere on this thread.
Could someone please be so kind as to point me to one?
