Hi all, new member to the forums but have used the knowledge here before many times.
I bought an unlocked Bell HTC Legend and have successfully used it on AT&T until encountering major issues yesterday. The phone started to lose signal, flopping between gsm, edge, 3g, and nothing. Then it started randomly restarting over and over again. Then I lost signal completely and it was telling me to insert a sim card when i would go into check the APN settings. Wouldn't give the error on the main screen when there is actually no sim in the phone, would just say no service. I took the sim out of the phone and tried it in my Nokia and it worked perfectly fine.
Heard issues from others about using the Bell ROM with AT&T so I proceeded to try and flash the phone with the generic WWE ROM to try and fix it. Was able to create a gold card after multiple attempts but could never get the phone to stay connected to HTC sync and the computer as it would disconnect when running the ROM .exe file. Outside of running the ROM .exe it would connect to the PC fine. Tried to update the drivers on the phone because i'm running windows 7 x64 but it wouldn't let me load the vista x64 drivers, just kept telling me that the driver loaded was the latest and correct.
I factory reset the phone as a last attempt and that worked for a little bit but then the signal errors happened again and the phone would show full bars and the 'H' but no data would be uploading or downloading most of the time. It had detected and latched onto a signal i guess but wouldn't consistently transfer data. I messed around with the APN settings again and now its resarting itself again and showing no signal most of the time.
I'm really not sure what to do at this point. It seems like a phone issue not so much the network or the sim. Not sure if its a battery contact or sim contact issue? I'd like to try and get the phone to stay connected so I can flash the ROM and see if that works.
Any help or past experience would be helpful. I feel like i've tried everything and searched everywhere for answers.
Thanks.

as far as i know the bars show signal strength of the GSM and not necessarily of the data quality. i hav the same issu ( showing bars but no data ) in some areas that are well covered by G2 but poor by G3 .
this brings me to the next question :
is data and pnone impaired by this problem? or only data ?
also it could be a fiscal problem, maybe the antenna is having trouble ?
good luck
The phone and data are affected.
I was finally able to flash it to the generic 1.31 WWE ROM by updating the windows device drivers while the program was trying to install the ROM. Found that info reading through all the comments in the downgrade thread.
The phone is still having issues keeping a connection though. It pulled the APN info off the sim but its not the same info I was using before when I manually entered the AT&T settings i've found searching the net. Its now reads this:
Name: MediaNet
APN: same
Proxy: same
Port: 80
Username: same
Password: *******
Server: Not Set
MMSC: same
MMS Proxy: 66.209.11.32
MMS Port: 8080
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
APN Type: *
The phone connected for a while but it was intermitent. I entered the other AT&T APN settings i've found on the web and those didn't work right either, connection kept dropping.
I don't know what is going on. I'm guessing its a bad phone or bad sim? Antenna or something?
Update: I'm using the default APN settings it pulled off the sim and it seems to be working ok for the moment. Freaking phone.
Update 2: Installed a version of Swype, had pinch to zoom and lag issues, restarted the phone, connnection became crap. Uninstalled swype, seemed to work but its still have connection issues. Shows connection and bars and data going up but nothing coming in. Goes in and out of connection.
Just for those following along.... I guess I should try and contact HTC.
Found this very interesting thread:
forum dot vodafone dot co dot uk/topic/58054-htc-legend-antenna-issue/
and this:

2g/3g switching issue w/ Andriod? Is there a better ROM out there that will avoid this? My wives Samsung Galaxy doesn't have this issue (knock on wood).
It is true the antenna is in the bottom cover of the phone
and now i remember t had some issues as well with the reception
i used WD40 to clean the contact points from the phone and the cover
i did not spray it directly but used a point of a cloth to put it on the right places and never had trouble again

I wouldn't use WD40, it leaves a residue behind...
If you want to clean those contacts, a simple eraser works fine.

I woke up this morning and my phone is not showing an E or 3G or even a G for that matter
At the lock screen it shows I'm registered on T-mobile network. I can place and receive calls/texts.
I can't access anything that uses data though. I've tried rebooting the phone and doing a battery pull.
This has me baffled.
This happened to me today too. I wasn't using any data so I thought nothing of it till a bit later when I restarted my phone and when it booted back up 3G came back on and the icon came back.
My theory is that the phone only tries to reconnect every once in a while to the Internet when the service goes down so it probably was just down when you tried before.
Can anyone confirm that this was a system wide Internet outage? Or regional? (Philly for me here)
Still no icons for me. i'm in alabama.
In my haste to figure it out I did a factory wipe/reset hoping to solve the problem. It didn't help. Now I can't sign into my gmail because it can't connect.
Still looking for help here if anyone can offer any
try checking your apns
Check your apns under settings>mobile networks> apns
Should say internet2.voicestream.com as on of the apns. Do a Google search to find the correct alms if you don't have T-Mobile
Hey, thanks for trying to help but it came back on its own just now. After i ended a call the E flashed for a second and then 3G popped back up and has been fine ever since. To bad I had to go all day without my data.
oh, and as far as I know my APN has always been epc.tmobile.com it works fine.
I am experiencing the same problem in France. Apparently it comes from the cyanogen mode (wether it is version 404, 418 or 4.10.1). When I install it everything's fine for a few hours and then the E/G/3G disappears most of the time, just showing (less than 1sec) every now and then. I can call, text but no mms/web/market dl ...
I tried a backup, wipe and reboot. Everything works, but a few hours later ...
If I restore the backup it still won't get 3G...
Is the only answer to wait and see ?
Great, I just installed the "CME_DHD2_COMPACT_v1.6_CWM_ODEX_RAM" ROM and I do not have any APN entry at all.
I've had a new smart phone (HTC magic from rogers) on Fido for a week now and it's been working great. I got a data plan and i've been using the data for a week, no problem.
Today I go to turn my data on, and no matter how many times i turn the phone on and off, or turn the 3G toggle on and off, it won't connect. The little 3G symbol at the top of the phone won't appear and I can't get a connection.
I updated to the cyanogen 2.1 rom (the newest fully stable one) and I haven't had any problems, and it's still working great other than the 3G.
Any idea how to fix this? I'm using the APNdroid widget to toggle 3G on and off.

It's what rogers does to people who dont update to their 911 update. They block unotherized devices. Call them and ask them to enable you data and ask them to remove you from the block list. Sometimes it takes a while for the system to find you and thats why you had your data for a week.
im having the exact same issue. did you ever figure it out. i just got the phone and everything was great then after a few days the 3g etc stopped working. i was messing with the apn settings and at the same time talking to fido. they reset it or something on there end and it started working. now a few days later and the same things happened again. its been off for a few days now. my radio version is 6.35.08.29 is that a problem with the 911 thing?
can anyone help. seems after fido reset it for me im ok again but after a few days i assume its gonna happen again. can anyone with rogers htc magics on fido chime in and let me know if they have any issues and what rom etc there using. thx
i havent expierenced this, ill think abt wut to do
its because i didnt have the 911 update. ****s up rogers and fido. updated and no more issues however i cannot root the phone anymore and am stuck on 1.5 now. **** you rogers
I think keeping your rooted ROM and signing the Waiver here www.rogers.com/htcwaiver would have worked just as well...
yea oviously however if you read the post above we are using fido and they have no such thing
Hi blazinlow,
Were you able to get your data back? I'm also Fido customer using a rooted HTC Magic and suddenly today lost internet connectivity (no 3G or EDGE) after a week. I called Rogers and the CSR doesn't seem to know what I'm talking about as he can't even find my number. He did, however know about the 911 bug and the mandatory update but insisted that I call Fido as they have control over the network?!! I wonder if I would have to get the issue escalated to their Tier 2.
well you can try with fido i had no luck. i updated my phone and now have no issues aside from no custom rom and being stuck on 1.5 meaning no navigation
I have FIDO as well and i have had my data connection dropped 3 times now. Im using a magic with 2.1. Every time that it happens I have to call in and get them to reset the connection on their end :/. Anyways they can't give me a straight answer on that either, its frusterating. What exactly is THE 911 update ? a radio update ? or firmware based.
Same issue - update?
Has anyone come up with a solution here. I've come across the same issue.
The phone worked fine on Rogers with no problem getting shut down, it is just now when I use a fido sim that we are getting the data shut down happening.
Unfortunately the 911 form provided above doesn't like my IEMI ("please enter a valid serial number") so I am left being not sure where to go next. A brief discussion with Fido tech support gave me the impression they don't have a clue how do anything other than a profile reset, which makes the problem go away for a few days.
A fall back to Android 1.5 is obviously not an option.
As I understand there may be a way to flash the base band and have an affect? Right now I am on base band 62.525.20.18H_3.22.20.17.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

So after a long conversation wit Fido I have confirmed that they have no way (or perhaps interest) in utilizing the 911 waiver from Rogers and put invoking a 'stop reset' function.
They eventually fall back to the party line of, not our phone can't help you.
Again, anyone know if anything other than a fall back to ancient unusable versions of Android as a fix here?
Any help much appreciated.
I just got my Nexus 4 not long ago. Everything is running great and smooth. The only thing keep me worry is my mobile data connection will suddenly drop. By suddenly drop, I mean I will have empty signal and bar ( empty triangle). However, it will back to normal in less than 30 seconds. It happens like average saying 4 times a day.
What I did to try to solve the issue myself.
I check the APN. I have all the correct APN based on the T-mobile APN thread from their website. FYI, you can find it here http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1979
I have micro sim card from T-mobile. I did not make or cut one. I'm also not on Tmobile prepaid. I have regular T-mobile plan.
Anyone experience anything like this? I saw many thread like data gray bar...low signal, slow data connection...but nothing like mine empty triangle, and back to normal in very short second...
Need some help and greatly appreciated. !!
Weird. I just started having the same issue., I'm on at&t though. Its really annoying. I tried clearing the cache and dalvik but had no luck. I'm considering reflashing my rom or upgrading the radio..
I'm on stock with no root. I will monitor a few more days before I RMA the device...but I doubt the second device will make any differences...No one sure it's a software issue or a hardware issue. My black triangle get back to connection pretty quick, but still annoying to lose all the data connection suddenly.
Are you having any issues with wi-fi?

What kind of Wifi problem are you talking about? Slow connection? or when you turn on wifi, mobile data turn gray?
I don't think I have Wifi problem (which I just turn on again) I actually set up all of my phone app the first time I got my phone. I download around 80
apps without any problem, and with no slowing speed. I did not check off the optimize Wifi box tho. I didn't run into wifi issue, so I did not check off
that box, although some ppl suggest that not to optimize the Wifi issue. The only big problem I have it's still the mobile data connection suddenly
go off, and go back on in a very short time. I can't imagine what will happen if I'm on a important call or using GPS navigation while suddenly the
mobile data go off...
What's your problem?
for more information about my phone, I have S/N: 310 K
stock, no root, 4.2.2, with micro sim card directly from T-mobile.
Bump =''[
Yep same problem here. All my signal bars will go gray and have no connection. I also get the empty triangle. Annoying as hell. I'm on stock JB 4.2.2 on straight talk.

I have not run into this problem yet but was messing around with my APN tonight and settled on this one and have had no problems with it, going from a "battery saving" HSPA:10 to HSPA+:15 when using data, watched it switch when using speed test. But here is my APN hopefully this can help you for AT&T specific problems. I came off the samsung galaxy s2 this week and switched to the nexus 4 and have had no problems thus far.

Too bad I have T-mobile...=''[
I have similar issues with my N4 running T-Mobile prepaid. I can get it, but it cuts in and out often. Wifi not an issue. I'm running CM10. I'm in an OK service area too. Cuts in and out frequently.
I guess I have the same issue, I'll have a blue triangle with no data activity (no small arrow head in either direction) even after trying to use Google search; it will be 15-30 seconds after hitting enter before any activity happens.
Im rooted, but running stock.
I already request for a replacement. Will update soon, but I doubt the new device will be different.
I am totally fed up with this phone now after the last system update to MDM08L I have ZERO cellular coverage in my house (from strong 2-4 bars LTE on MDM08D) and since it is worthless now for use as a phone to me I am deciding whether to get an RMA or simply cancel and get an i phone that I know works since other family members get a strong signal with their i phones on T Mobile? In addition before the update itself my phone had benchmark scores that were far lower than any I have seen posted here on this forum.
What would you do ?
flash your phone to MDM08D
One does not RMA a nexus for software.
You have a nexus, reflash the software. If you're to lazy to do the basics to get it working and instead just spend another $600+ on another phone why the hell did you buy a nexus?
...filthy casual.
Get an iPhone. You're obviously not happy with this device.
I got a nexus so I would get the latest updates no knowing that they would cripple the phone performance.
The update didn't screw up my phone so it's probably just a defective unit you have. As others suggested though, if you like the iPhone you should just go with that. It's also a great phone.
and there's never been an iphone update that cripples their own devices? there are plenty of resources on here to help you. there could be a variety of reasons as to why you're not getting the same signal. there's a version M out - try that one.
have you changed anything on your phone? are you completely stock? were you messing with some settings? there's bits to this story we're not getting.
try restoring your phone to stock.
I just blew my stack. I called Google "Support" or so I thought and after telling him that my Nexus 6P does not get phone service after the MDM08L update yesterday he asked me if I was on Lollipop or Marshmallow ??? I told him the 6P and 5x were the only phones in the world that came with Marshmallow and he continued to ask me if it was Lollipop or Marshmallow.. He would not give me a supervisor that knows what is going on.
are you in the US?
for what its worth, just try to reflash the phone and see if it works. If it doesnt, you can still RMA it at that point.
IMO -
1. remove SIM card then reboot and reinsert and reboot again.
2. wipe cache partition.
3. test phone a few miles from house. maybe a T-Mob issue.
if that fails -
4. hard reset back to factory fresh state then manually sync and reinstall all Apps one by one. make sure all of your data is synced and backed up first.
good luck.
Yes Florida
Without doing the SIM removal just driving down the road, where I had continous LTE connectivity,, it is now 3G 2G E nothing and more nothing..
Dude just download WugFresh Nexus Root Tool Kit (now supports Nexus 6P) and restore to factory with a couple of mouse clicks. Its the easiest and most noob proof way to do it. If that doesn't work then get something else. Good luck.
unless you know what you're doing.... you should probably stay away from Flashing, modding, wiping, puting other ROMs on your phone, etc. Just leave the phone o.s. untouched, stock...
try these T-Mobile APN Settings
Name: T-Mobile GPRS
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Type: default,supl,mms
APN Protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4
Bearer: Unspecified
MVNO type: None
because changing your APN settings is safer?
I'm all for flashing/wiping/romming/etc/ if people know what they're doing. but for those that don't, then I think they should just keep their phone stock. And as for changing the APN settings, that can be bad if you're just guessing around in there... but if the APN settings have been verified to work for T-Mobile. Which they have been.... then.... well... its simple enough to type them in there. I had no ability to send or receive MMS until i used the above T-Mobile APN settings. maybe it'll help him with his LTE.
I already have been using NRT for my Nexus 5 and 6 and I called T Mobile and there have been no problems in my area. Unofficially Google Support ran the same benchmarks I have on the phone there and there scores were also twice mine. and that is why I am thinking issue is with phone itself. I need to go to a T mobile store today and see if my SIM card works in another phone to rule out SIM card but I do not think that is the issue. If not warranty replace..RMA
Stop complaining about it and and do something. Either RMA this one as your benchmark scores might be showing another issue with it, but if you don't want to do that and since you lost signal go back to the previous build (or go to the M build and see if that changes things).
The point of this thread is to have a general place for Sprint folks to help each other out.
I started it because I saw a lot of the same information getting repeated in the S5 thread.
I'll be keeping a list of a few tips and tricks to help get your Sprint S5/Note 3 working as best as it possibly can, and hopefully explain it in a straightforward matter.
If anyone has other suggestions of what should go here, please let me know.
Common problems:
1. LTE isn't working
Possible solutions:
1. Your network provisioning got weird somehow. Flash stock, update your PRL, update your Profile, and then flash Lineage again
2. Your sim card is very old, and we no longer have hacks to support it. Get a new one off eBay, and follow steps in solution 1 for provisioning. See list of working SIM cards below
2. Other network service isn't working
Possible solutions:
1. Your network provisioning got weird somehow. Flash stock, update your PRL, update your Profile, and then flash Lineage again
3. Phone is bouncing between network types
Possible solutions:
1. Try making a standard voice call, to force it to CDMA or EvDO, to help stabilize the connection
4. Voicemail notifications don't show
Disclaimer: Known bug, will not be fixed. This is because sometimes voicemail read signals don't get cleared properly in Sprint's system, so they show forever.
Possible workarounds:
1. Manually call voicemail whenever you get a missed call
2. Use Google Voice and forward calls and texts to a dummy number on your phone instead, or use Sprint's Google Voice integration
General Tips:
1. Don't mess with preferred network settings, I set them specifically to work properly on Sprint
Known working SIM cards:
SIMOLW216R
Known not working SIM cards:
SIMGLW206R
I have a G900P with Virgin Mobile. I wanted to provide some info on the bouncing between GSM-CDMA issue. Today I wiped three times and flashed three builds (LineageOS 10/25, 11/1, and crDroid 10/26 based on LOS 10/25). In all three times, after wiping and flashing roms, I would see the phone bouncing CDMA-GSM when switching between preferred network types. Then I would dirty flash the same ROM (only the rom, nothing else), it seemed like this issue goes away and the phone is VERY stable. I will wipe again to see if I can keep replicating this phenomenon. You guys can try to dirty flash to see if it also fixes the LTE connection issue (nothing to lose). I saw it a few times but I couldn't see a pattern, and now that I have been switching preferred network types several times over the last few hours, I have not seen it anymore. I will keep testing.
The G900P radio issue has been going on forever. its almost as bad as the timezone bug we have had forever.
install rand g900p cyanogenmond/lineage rom.... go through install..... deal with phone trying to escape into wrong carrier or frequency... pray it remains stable for work.... post logcat hoping for fix..... repeat for several years with no avail......

I'll add the suggestion to not mess with preferred network types, I set the default to what is ideal for Sprint. Did you dirty flash the ROMs over themselves? or over an older version?

I aim to improve that, at least a little bit. The stability has improved, from the feedback I've been getting. The timezone bug was fixed a long time ago as well, in May iirc (and it wasn't just Sprint, T-Mobile US and AT&T had it too)
The network for sprint devices using; lineage-14.1-20171108-nightly-kltedv-signed is definitely better so far.
Sounds like you guys on sprint have some issues still ... I am running my g900p on att .... Works great i dont think i get full 4glte but i still average2-3 megs a second so its definitely not bad ... Fair trade off i guess.

I would imagine the LTE bands AT&T uses don't line up with Sprint's. I have similar issues on my G900F on T-Mobile, I frequently see H+/3G/E when I should have LTE.
As for Sprint issues, yeah, but it's a lot more manageable now. Most of the weird bugs/quirks are now just fixed by getting provisioning on stock, or a new sim card.
I always heard about what a PITA sprint was, and imagine it worked like crap then, but it's not too bad now. I still prefer T-Mobile, for various minor reasons,
but my hltespr on Tello (Sprint MVNO) makes a perfectly usable backup phone if anything goes wrong with my T-Mobile sim, and it wouldn't
really bother me to use it. That's pretty much my main goal: Make Sprint as usable as possible, so the user doesn't need to notice they're on Sprint.

Just to update, everything worked out well!
Upon replacing the old SIM with a new one, I still couldn't get past 3G. I flashed to stock CQD1 in Odin, updated the PRL and profile, ##72786# to reset, and still nothing.
After a few Google searches, a few forums suggested to call into Virgin Mobile to update the SIM's ICCID number, because this is the reason I couldn't get LTE; the ICCID didn't match the SIM card they had on file. Once done and after a final reboot back into stock, LTE success!
Flashed TWRP in Odin and restored a recent lineageOS backup, and LTE success!
Again, this board was very helpful, thanks!
Just ordered a new SIM card from Sprint. The old one showed as incompatible according to OP. I could only get 3G if I changed to CDMA/EVDO.. Hopefully the new one will allow me to run LOS 14.1 with access to LTE on TING. Thanks for the info.
@javelinanddart Hi, would you mind taking a look at this radio log from 15.1? I can't get LTE working under any circumstances. I have the latest baseband for G900P and a good SIM card, and everything was working in 14.1. Log shows switching from "CDMA/EvDo" to "CDMA/EvDo + LTE" then setting the APN to FreedomPop LTE.

General Tips:
1. Don't mess with preferred network settings, I set them specifically to work properly on Sprint

Well, If you come back to this, let me know if you need more logs. I'm going back to 14.1 for now, as the signal is really bad (Keeps switching between 1X and 3G).
Edit: 14.1 is now borked as well... Some relatively recent change must have killed it.
And here's a log from when 3G/EvDo craps out...
Sorry for the multi-post, but I just found my problem: The default APN settings for FreedomPop, the MVNO I use, are somehow wrong. So I deleted that APN and redid it with the following settings and was able to get LTE.
Name: FreedomPop LTE
APN: n.f6.ispsn
MMSC: http://mms.sprintpcs.com
MMS proxy: 68.28.31.7
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 120
APN type: default,mms,supl,hipri,fota,ims,cbs
APN (roaming) protocol: IPv4/IPv6
Bearer: Unspecified
MVNO type: None

Sorry for the delay, I've been busy working on another device. I had the same issue (even though it worked fine before) on my hltespr. After a wipe, my LTE started working again too, which was really weird. I don't really want to investigate this, since it's working now.
