Nexus S 4G won't connect calls or 3G data..... - Nexus S General

So my nexus decided it wanted to stop working all of the sudden...... 4G works just fine but 3g will not work nor can i text or make calls. This happened out of nowhere as well not right after i flashed anything. I tried unrooting and re rooting but the problem still persists.... any ideas?

Unable to receive texts

My NS4G is unable to receive texts. I can send them but can't receive any. I've pulled the battery and still nada. I also tried different carriers and its all of them o can't receive from. Has anyone ever experienced this?

Sprint has been having a nation wide issue with Text Messaging for the last couple of days and they are working on fixing it currently.
Years I thought that too and called sprint. They said that isn't the case. All towers are OK in my area.

Do you use Google voice? If so check your settings.

I do and did. They aren't even in my online voice history. Very weird.

OMG I thought I was the only one with this problem.......
It just started for me yesterday in the afternoon. What's weird is they actually started working for a second after I did a hard reset, and they stopped. For me, it is also cross-network. When my friend texts me through his Nexus S 4G I get his texts just fine.
I was just about to head to the Sprint store to ask about this.....glad this was posted so I don't have to waste the gas lol
Hard reset helped, as did a re-flash.

htc EVO flashed to Boost

Why after flashing this phone data connections are so bad? I don't understand why after 3 attempts my phone is not working properly. I keep getting errors 104, 128, and 67 data call failure. The guy that flashed it told me that everything would work just like if it was on Sprint and now this sporadically connects data and then just stops and I have to either restart the phone or turn off and on the mobile connection so that out works for a few minutes and then kaput. Please help me! I don't want to divorce my evo.

you would need probably a reflash... and beware of flasher using bogus doner phones. I heard they are using 8 lines or more per phone and with invented nv items or passwords.. they all tend to go wrong...
What do you mean 8 lines or more per phone? This phone I bought myself and it was still active on Sprint when I had it flashed. The phone was working flawlessly on Sprint but now it just gives me a bunch of errors.

Your MIP data profile 0 and 1 need there HA and AAA shared passwords. Did the guy who flashed your phone provide you with any files from your donor phone and I take it talk works ? and no 3G icon to next to your signal bars ?
No, my phone has the 3G on but, it comes and goes every time and I find myself resetting the mobile network connection every 20 minutes or so.

This happened on my first nexus 4. Nothing fixed it. Nothing. Hopefully your situation is different. If nothing works, flash back to stock and start the RMA process. Google said it was a hardware failure with mine by the way.

Did your happen when you first got it or after you had it for awhile? And what's the RMA process

The periodic loss of signal was there since day. I still have it on my new one. Others do as well, but one day it went out and never came back on. I believe it was a different issue than just random signal loss. Google said hardware failed in it. You have to contact Google to start an RMA. I'm also not implying that your signal won't come back on at some time either. Personally I would flash everything back to stock. Go to a t mobile store and get a new Sim card and if no signal still then contact Google

Under settings, then data, then mobile networks, then to network operators.
let it search, even if it doesn't find anything or errors.
Then click choose automatically.
If you frequently travel out of 3g/H areas, you need that checked or the phone won't roam from tower to tower. you will get no signal.
Also, if that don't work, you can try clicking on a network it finds, and let it register, your signal may come back.
This is a common problem with those that don't live in big cities or near full strength 3g/h areas.
The phone doesn't handle tower handoffs well. Crappy LG modems.

Most likely wouldn't but it would be one more "possible" problem eliminated.

I'm currently going through the RMA process over virtually the exact same issue. However, I've been running franco's nightlies lately and up until he restored the HSIC/wifi stuff to stock in r154 I was actually experiencing less data drops and rapid tower swapping (constantly going from 3g to H and back rendering consistent data inoperable). *shrug* I feel as if it's something in the hardware on the cusp of failing because sometimes it does it more and sometimes it does it less. It's rather weird. I'm also on T-mobile towers through an MVNO (Straight Talk).
I just cancelled and switched to ATT go phone.
I have RMA'd 2 devices, tried multpie new simcards, relflashed, tried new radios, and nothing worked.
It no longer switches from 3g to H on ATT network.
It stays in H constantly.
Also, no more signal drops or loss of signal.
I have 100% signal all the time now.
The data is a little more expensive, but worth it for the coverage so far.
It's not your phone, it's the tmobile network.

GS4 data very sporadic

My s4 data is bad to kick off and back on. It has done had since I first got it. I have 3_g at home and it's very solid signal, I never lose signal in fact i keep 4-5 bars but data kicks in and out all of the time. My old phone was very solid never lost data signal ever. I have tried the 3 different radios and several ROMs but they all do the same thing? It doesn't show roming and it looks to be on sprint solid. I know I've read about losing data due to flashing but mine works fine then it doesn't work, off and on, off and on all of the time... Rebooting sometimes brings it back, switching radio off will sometimes too but sometimes I just have to walk away for 10-30 min and it'll pop back up... any ideas?

I will assume that you have updated PRL and profile. If not, do so. If that does not solve the issue, call Sprint to see if thry are working on towers in your area.
Yes I did update profile/prl as well. I have a second phone we keep in the house (as my house phone) but it keeps data signal just fine never drops either. I haven't called Sprint I may try that but I really think its buggy firmware

I called Sprint, wasted 10min of my life lol. But I set force cdma, we'll see how that goes. No lte here anyway.. in fact 2g some of the time.. gotta love sprints data (shoot me)
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Hope the problem works itself out. One last suggestion would be a factory reset (that is if you didnt wipe data through rom flashes). Doing so can potentially fix a lot of different isses....maybe this as well. Good luck

Force cdma seems to have fixed it. I get lte in town but I live and work outside of town. Guess it was always getting stuck between the two...

[Q] Wifi Tether stops working when placing a call

I have been using Wifi tethering on my ATT Galaxy S4. Shouldn't I be able to tether and make a phone call at the same time? I tether, then make a call, and I no longer am able to ping through my phone. I can ping the wireless interface on the phone, but nothing else.
Anyone else able to do this? Seems like it should be possible.
I've noticed, for myself being on Rogers Wireless LTE, whenever I receive a call 3G and HSPA take over and LTE shuts off until the phone call it is completed

I think it has to do with voice over LTE or HD voice if i am not wrong.
If they don't have HD voice calling it will drop to HSPA
Well where I'm at, I don't think LTE for calls has been implemented yet for any carriers

This is with 4G as well. I tether, internet works fine. I then place a call and no longer can get to the internet.
Is this a limitation of the phone or the ATT network?

No, this is an issue with the phone/software. Tether on a call works fine on the Galaxy S III (it also drops back to 4G from LTE when you make a call, but tethering keeps working)
