Hi All,
Not quite sure what happened here.. Upgraded to latest nscollab yesterday, everything was working fine. Decided to try the "Antennas" app to see if it'd show where the towers are near me, switched to 2g mode, played around with it a bit, switched off 2g mode and now my phone does not see telus at all. When I go into search networks, telus simply doesn't show up and my phone stays in emergency mode.
It sees rogers fine and is able to connect to rogers with a friend's rogers sim. I've tried my telus im in other phones and it works fine, other people's telus sims in my phone don't work either.
I've tried reverting to an earlier backup as well as going back to a stock backup. I've also tried reflashing both the kb1 and kb3 radios, no luck.
Anyone know what might be the issue here?
both Telus / Bell do not have 2G
they only have 3G, as in the VOICE only works via 3G
it was the same using the SGS i9000
Did the rogers SIM work on 2G (Edge) only? I am guessing Rogers and Fido will work, but only on 2G
Same happened to me, on Fido, my phone could no longer connect to 3G...Only 2G after playing with settings. I returned the phone
The reason why Telus-Bell SIM would not work at all at this point is that they only support 3G...
That makes sense, but i don't have it set to 2g mode anymore. It should be seeing 3g just fine.

Just tried that, nothing. I think that's the same as a wipe data in recovery?
I've tried:
- Reverting back to a stock backup
- Reverting to an earlier working backup
- Doing a factory reset on both of the above
- Reflashing the radio on both

This just happened to me, I switched to 2G and got nothing but com.android.phone quit errors, now I can't get back on 3G. Flashed radios, data wipe, everything... wtf... it's back to stock now and still can't get on Telus... double wtf...
Christ... finally got it... my head hurts from all this reading
For some reason it was on the wrong band. Do this in dialer... *#*#4636#*#*, phone information, menu, select radio-band, USA, and should work make sure its on WCDMA preferred as well under phone information

I had the same issue when in Canada, and forgot I had the band set to Europe (my region).
I set it to Automatic detect, i know catching signal will take longer. But then I dont forget

i had the same problem since may 14th (sat), thanks for the fix!!!!!!!
Same thing happened here, same solution. Glad you stumbled on it too!
As the title says, had the same problem on my Nexus S (running on Bell), I believe manually switching the 2g/3g toggle in cyanogenmod rom accidentally is what set it off.
Glad you found the solution!! Was maddening for me; knew there must be a way to fix through the UI, but until I fond it, phone was a wifi mp3 player :/

Good evening all,
Hopefully someone can answer my question.
Sunday I took a road trip. I noticed that my phone had no service. In the past when I left the t-mobile area my g1 would automatically connect to whatever network was available and the roam indicator would show up.
I tried to manually connect to at&t through the network operators menu. My phone said "Your sim card does not allow a connection to this network.".
I have a rooted g1 running the official t-mobile 1.6 rom. Is this a problem with my rom or my phone or the network. I've tried searching and I haven't found much of a solution yet.
I am in the usa. A lot of the google search results I got were from Europe.
might not have been a ROM issue; just a bug...
Did you reboot or force radio off then back on?
I have the same problem and yet no luck to resolve this.

I did reboot and enable/disable airplane mode.
Today I switched to the Cyanogen Rom. I'll see if that fixes the problem. I tried to manually switch to at&t, but it still says that the sim card does not allow that. I am in the t-mobile coverage area; t-mobile probably does not allow the use of a different network when their network is available. I'd like to test it out to see if roaming works now, but I'm not taking a drive out to the countryside just to see how my phone works.
I guess this one might be hard for me to test because I am rarely out the the t-mobile coverage area.
I've not had a 3G/HSPA signal on my N4 for a while now. Trouble is I don't know exactly when it happened as I'm generally on either WiFi at home or at work, where I know I can only get Edge.
I've tried the usual check the APN, *#*#4636#*#* and nothing's jumping out at me (if I tell it to use WCDMA only I get no signal at all).
I'm wondering if it was the 4.2.2 udpate and wonder if I've got the wrong radio - so the question is does anyone know what radio I should have on my N4? I'm in the UK on Vodafone, but I got the phone from the Play Store.
I've tried searching but the N4 seems to have had so many signal issues it's difficult to sift out the relevant stuff
I'm not rooted but I'm happy to do it if needed. Already tried a factory reset so nothing to lose!
Cheers,
Dave
have you tried a different sim card? thete isnt a specific radio per region, so thats not a problem.

Yeah, sorry, forgot to say. I tried the wife's SIM (different operator) and same issue, only got a 2G signal.
I was thinking it might have been an issue when they updated it to remove the LTE "feature"
Even i have the same problem . I am from India and also have tried a couple of sim card . Im not able to get 3g signal at all . Anyone pls help....
i have the same issue solved whit RMA my first nexus 4 was defective, my new nexus 4 changed in warranty now works well
3G/HSPA networks
participles ipntsly
I started having the same issue today in Atlanta. Had another T-Mobile HSPA phone sitting next to mine with 4 bars while I was on Edge. My N4 is < 1 week old and seemed to be OK but now I can't get it on anything other than Edge.
I've checked my APN settings, reset the radio, turned data on/off and reset the phone with no luck.
Any advice?
Update: Just got mine working, here is what I did.
Wasted 20 mins talking to Google and T-Mobile. (I don't recommend this step.)
Type in *#*#4636#*#*
Scroll down and change 'WCDMA Preferred' to 'WCDMA Only'. At this point my bars switched from Edge to HSPA.
Now, undo the change and put it back on WCDMA Preferred. Make sure it still has a 3G or an H next to your bars.
Exit and enjoy the fast phone.

This worked for me.. thanks
I am having the exact same problem as Dave. My n4 has just stopped connecting to WCDMA (H).
I have tried re entering my APN's, Turning on/off mobile network, Airplane mode, rebooting and removing the SIM. From the test menu I have tried WCDMA only but I lose my signal completely and go to emergency calls only. If I use either GSM only or WCDMA preferred I can get a 2G connection but nothing more and when on WCDMA preferred it can lose connection completely as well.
I am also with Vodafone UK.
solution for this
Guys....even I had the same problem.....but was able to solve it.....
Go to settings >apps>all >Google framework services in this disable it and clear data and again enable it....
Enjoy 3g once again ....it worked for me

Getting bars on 'GSM only'
I have got the same issue on my Nexus 4, and I still don't understand how it happened in the first place. I updated a bunch of apps before going to bed and remember waking up to no signals on my phone.
Currently I only receive signal when I go *#*#4636#*#* and set it to 'GSM only'. Any other configuration (WCDMA preferred, WCDMA only, etc) results in loss of signal.
I have tried the following with no luck:
1) Restored Factory Settings
2) Installed an older version of android
3) Flashed multiple radios
4) Steps listed on this thread
Can anyone help me out with this?
Thanks
I have had my SGS4 since June running CM with no issues connecting to LTE, but I recently tried PA android and could only connect to H+ as the fastest network connection and Network Mode defaulted to WCDMA preferred and could get no network connection at all if I changed from that. I tried going back to CM and still had the same issue. Reflashed stock using Odin and have since tried Shostock and CM again, but still cannot connect to LTE. I also tried my sim in my Nokia Lumia and get LTE on that so there doesn't seem to be an issue with my plan or sim card.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Sorry if this is a silly question, but in the interests of ruling out all possibilities: Are you sure that it's the actual connection, and not just the icons? Maybe you're used to seeing a 4G/LTE icon that isn't used in another ROM.
It wouldn't really make sense if you went back to CM and that issue persists, unless an icon setting is preventing you from seeing the icon. It might be worth checking the settings, because as I recall there are plenty of ways to customise your icon area.

I am sure it is LTE and not an icon issue, Before flashing PA I was getting 30-40mbps and now the highest data speed I can get it 3-6mbps. If I set the network mode to GSM/WCDMA/LTE (which is what it has always defaulted to before) I cannot connect to a the AT&T network until I set it back to WCDMA preferred. As I mentioned in my previous post it is only this phone, with the Windows Phone I tested using the sim worked fine on LTE. Also as I mentioned this happens on several roms, and has continued after a complete reset to the factory rom using Odin.
Hello dear XDA Community,
I have an american Nexus 6P (used with Verizon) which is currently used with a Russian cell carrier "MegaFon"
I had troubles with connecting to their LTE, for some reason my phone just wouldn't connect to the LTE and only stick to HSPA or HSPA+ even though an iPhone near me gets LTE signal just fine, the SIM card is fine in the other phone as well. So I started messing with my phone to find if I could fix it, first I started with going back to full stock, that didn't help, the phone still only accepted HSPA signal. Then I tried multiple ROMs and Stock Images but the issue of not connecting to LTE persisted. Then I found out about *#*#4636#*#* menu (aka Phone Info menu) and I started messing with it, which again did not do any good until I hit the menu button and pressed Select Radio Band (P.S. please don't mess with those settings) where I tried selecting all 3 different "GSM/UMTS" Bands. I tried USA band, Band mode 6 and Band mode 7, but this just broke down my signal completely, I cannot connect back to the carrier network no matter what I did. I've tried factory resetting, flashing radio img's, flashing stock/custom. NOTHING HAD HELPED/WORKED
I'm now stuck with a phone that doesn't work at all, and I'm on business trip so I'm just pulling out my hair for messing with those settings in the first place.
Does anybody know a possible fix to this? How could I go back to what I had before even though I tried all kinds of forms of factory resetting the phone
I really beg for your guys' help
Thank You
EDIT: Found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/recovering-usa-band-to-auto-mode-4636-t3271347 gonna try that right now
EDIT2: That modified ROM helped! But I still don't get 4G
Have you tried removing the SIM card, rebooting the phone, then going into the Phone info menu and setting the preferred network type to LTE/GSM auto (PRL)? Maybe afterr another reboot with the SIM inserted the phone will connect.
Also check the APN settings -- they might have changed.

I think I've tried it, I'll give it another try after seeing if flashing this one ROM where you can select Auto Band in 4636 menu that I linked in the edit would work.
APN settings were fine.
Thanks
EDIT: That ROM helped! But I still don't get 4G
Looks like the post you linked should do the trick. Good luck!

Hi All,
I bought this LG G6 (G600K) from HK a month ago. It was working perfectly until few days ago when the LTE stopped working. In the notification bar I can see LTE, but there is no data going through. E.g.: messenger shows "Connecting...". Basically no 4G internet any more. So I did my research and these are my findings:
If there is no LTE coverage, the phone switches to 3g and it works - so the problem is only with LTE, but LTE is everywhere nowdays
In this Korea Telecom ROM there is no way to configure to only use 3g (CDMA only), not even in hidden menu - this could be a remedy, but would not solve the issue
Wifi also works
I did Factory Reset twice (also Network settings reset), did not help
I waited for an update from KT, maybe contains a fix, but did not help
I went to my operator (TELENOR Hungary), and they have checked my subscription, and they said everything is ok, but they can see that my phone does not connect to the LTE system.
I tried my SIM in an other phone, and LTE works perfectly
So based on these facts, I can't think of other than the phone has a hardware issue. Do you have any idea how can I investigate further?
Thanks for any suggestion.

Have you made sure data roaming is turned on as you have Korean model, I had to enable data roaming to get mobile data as the device thinks that's exactly what it's doing.

Unfortunately it is grayed out. But 3g works and 4g worked before. I have not changed any settings, just went away.

Hi, sorry to hear. I could not solve yet. I went to the 3rd line support of the operator, but they say everything is fine from their side. So I'm waiting for a custom ROM, or I will change my operator. If you can, send back your phone.

Well i just found temporary fix for grayed out data roaming..this method worked to me
download quickshortcutmaker from playstore open app and switch to normal search find roaming click on roaming - global roaming - create... you can enable data roaming from there..
And for manual network switch LTE /3G : quickshortcutmaker - normal view - network -networksettings global
Hope that helps
Sorry for my bad English..
Wow, thanks. This is working as a remedy. You are the hero of the day
