Out Of Service Problem - Atrix 4G General

hello, im new to the xda community and android and i was hoping i could get help if possible so i bought this atrix off a friend for $60 just to start getting into android, so the problem is that when i insert a sim card and the bars are crossed out. i tried reflashing the baseband/radio to newer ones but the problem persists and keeps saying out of service under settings-> about phone-> status. also under network type says unknows, so i was hoping it has a fix which for the price i payed for i like it as a media player but im also looking to use the hspa+ speeds. yesterday i did get 1 bar and carrier name but for only 1-2 seconds.
edit: im trying to use it on at&t (forgot to mention the carrier)
this is what i get...

What network are you trying to use it on?
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

im using at&t

go to settings-wireless-mobile-networks
access point names push the four squares button on the bottom left reset to default and choose hspa+
this is a flashable apn.ziphttp://db.tt/C0OdFBWr reset apns to default afterward and try to reinsert sim and power up

I'll try this tomorrow since im not near a computer right now and i'll post the results.

Ok so I tried the apn method but the problem still the same, im thinking its a hardware issue but like I said im not that much into android.

I have a very week signal at home, and I see the same screen like yours
so make sure you have a strong signal before you determine it's a h/w issue

thanks for all your guy's help, i ended up giving the phone to my brother so he can use as a media player. i really liked the phone so im probably going to get a working one
do you guys suggest another phone other than the atrix (looking for a 4g/hspa+ one)

Lose 3G and have to reboot

Anyone ever have this problem? Ideas to fix it?
What rom are you running? If its a i9k 2.2.1 build you need the signal reboot fix found in the vibrant development section.

I think the problem exists for KB1 based builds as well. Had the issue with Bionix 1.31, Trigger and Axura. Went back to Nero v5 and problem solved. Also, the wifi sleeps even when the option for never sleep is checked. I wonder if it's hardware specific and only affects some phones.
Sent from my frozen yogurt powered Vibrant
To clarify my previous post: I lost 3g and had to manually reboot to get it back. It didn't reboot on its own like the i9000 builds. I ran 3 different roms from 3 different devs and they all had similar issues. The only common denominator was they were KB1 based. KB1 roms also seem to have RIL issues (very infrequent). At least that was my experience.

Data dropping happened to me a lot in the JK2 modem (had toggle flight mode on and off), but it has never happened to me since (JK6 and onwards)
Are you guys on t mobile? You might want to upgrade your sim card, i just upgraded yesterday and now my connection is more stable.

If data is just dropping and not soft booting, try flashing a new modem.

I dont have this problem but do all the ROMS now say "H" instead of 3G? The weird things is, I still 3g pop back up there intermitently for a second or two here and there...from what I gather, H is the same thing, but if that's so, then why do I still see 3g pop back up there sometimes?
I'm on KB1 and I hate this ****.

I had this problem on Trigger 2.7.1/overstock couldn't reestablish data through airplane or toggling data type. In since flashing 2.7.2 havent had it at all. Fingers crossed. No reboots either. Same kb1 modem.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
Im going through something similar right now. Running Axura 2.3.1.0 with KB1 modem currently, was on CM7 with KA7 prior and had same issue. I have 0 3G, doing a speed test on 2G i get between 68 and 85kbps download speed, and when on 3G i get between 46 and 60kbps, so actually my 3G is basically dead. Went and got a 3G sim card from t-mobile, called them about 26 times and had them reset my network, filed a trouble ticket and still no dice... not sure whats going on. I was throttled and my cycle restarted on the 21st, its now the 24th and still seems like im throttled but im not, its actually a dead 3G, not sure why... anyone know what i can do to fix this? Is it a bad phone now? T-Mobile doesnt seem to have a clue, nor will they help me out... dunno, tried everything and now im just stuck with no speed... blows!!!

Has anyone ever had this data problem?

Alright this is just stupid. So I wake up this morning using facebook and browsing xda over 3g. I pop up power menu and turn off data, and leave phone for 30mins. I come back, turn on 3g and nothing. I've went to network settingsand fiddled with all the options there; 4G, txting, calling, and wifi work. I also had the "error: 67."
Only things I've tried is cwm wipin and flashing. I currently am away from home so can't just odin =/

Maybe try switching modems? Sfr doesn't include a kernel so try changing to a different kernel also, some of the newer kernels and roms have the modem flash in the install.
Also j would call sprint and ask if there has been any changes to ur data or hotspots plan, they should be of some help in that end. I'm kinda curious as to how that would happen tho.

This happened to my wife's phone went into see what modem I put in and it was gone there as nothing but characters re flashed modem all set.
I get this all the damn time. Especially around my area. What works for me is re-entering the MSL & resetting it to default. It reactivates the device & you'll get your data back!
When I called Sprint about this, they told me that it was because the phone "jumped" to a different tower that wasn't so close. Hope that helps!

Your bill is paid, right? I thought I had a problem like that one time but turns out my payment wasn't taken out when it should have.
But since you're getting an error it has to be something else.
I believe error 67 refers to wrong vision username/password. Have you tried something simple such as Update Profile? Worse comes to worst you can always do an rtn reset...
edit: CWM doesnt write to those areas... Neither does Odin.

Hating my S3 lately

So I've getting the no sound+drop signal problem these last weeks where you don't hear anything when making a call and then the phone loses all signal. Looked everywhere online no solution. I really need my phone these days and i am having to use skype to make a call which is total crap. Then today all of the sudden the phone stops recognizing the sdcard out of the blue, also can't seem to find any solution online. I don't want to send the thing to repair because I use it a ton. This is really inconvenient.
Just venting here , sigh.....

Which problem you mean, the call issue or the micro sdcard issue? I am running stock 4.1.2 jb and i have orange. The worst is that these problems start on their own all of the sudden with no previous warning. It drives one insane because it's so hard to pinpoint what happened and how to fix it.

Sorry.. The calling issue. I would make a call and it wouldn't make a dial or ringing tone and there was no sound coming from the speaker. This isn't happening on my S3. It was was happening on my old LG phone.. it was running stock 2.3 gingerbread of course, but it was surely mind boggling.

I am sorry but I read the rules and didn't see anything that said that no venting was allowed here, this is a general forum and in most forums general means general chat, venting included, or anything else that doesn't fit in more specific boards. Now regarding your question I didn't do wiping nor factory reset but I did reinstall the Jelly bean ROM I am using, and also I tried reinstalling the modem making sure it was the right one. I didn't do more because I've read in the big "no sound during calls" thread that those methods haven't solved most users' issues so far so seems like a waste of time. Anyway spending my time fixing the phone is my idea of a good time. I've had it for one year btw.

I have that happen and then suddenly signal drops to nothing and I get a circle with a crossed line symbol for a few seconds until it comes back. It's weird as hell and there's no solution anywhere online. I fixed it for a while tapping the back of the phone but now that ain't working anymore. Very frustrating.

I have heard of signal problems due to cases but not too common.. just using process of elimination. Also, that's a pain you lost your SD Card.. maybe try banking up your stuff on your phone and doing a clean wipe? Factory reset?

Yeah usually only when a metal case is used does it ever really interfere I suppose.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Possible problems:
1) Wrong modem. Flash one that worked previously.
2) Mobile phone network problems (we tend to overlook this a lot). Contact your carrier and ask if your networks keep going down.
3) Signal interference (maybe some casing, maybe something in your house)
4) Damaged phone (maybe the signal receiver got damaged in a fall)
I've been having similar signal drop issues. Phone shows 2 bars but no data use, no sound when trying to ring out, can't receive a call. If I toggle 2g, signal will spring back to life and data will show. Changed bloody everything trying to resolve it. Orange UK.

Seriously right, it's people like you who joined xda yesterday, who have no clue whatsoever about the principles and tradition of xda, who tarnish the name of this great website. The op is talking about an s3, in a s3 forum, were would you want him to go, other than here. If you can't help, just shut it, and let the people who can help go ahead, like the people who posted after your senseless post to help the op.

2. Reception problems, UK austerity hair cut, you get 10% of any signal you had before.

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.

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.

Wifi connectivity problems

Im having trouble staying connected to wifi at home, it stays connected as long as im in the living room close to the router but when i go into the bed room which is about 20ft away it disconnects and then reconnets several times. The router connection is 5ghz and only me and my wife use it.

First, make sure you've turned off "Auto Network Switch" in the advanced section of Wi-Fi settings (go to Wi-Fi settings and press the menu key and select advanced).
Second, turn off WiFi Power Save mode in the ServiceMenu. Go here for directions.
I done what you said i entered the codes you said to enter on my dial pad and it didnt bring up anything no services menus...nothing. but i did go to wifi and then advance and unchecked the box you said to uncheck and waited to see if it would kick me off and it did it still kicks me off wifi while im in my bed room.

If you're rooted, you'll need to go to /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu....
Open the HiddenMenu file in a text editor and change OFF to ON
Maintaining capitalization of the word ON
Save file.
Then reboot. Try those dialpad codes again.

Dial pad codes worked like a charm went in and changed the band to B4Enabled*. Now im gonna hang out in my room for awhile and see if i get kicked off my wifi. Thanks a bunch for you help i just hope this works oh and yes i went to text editor and then carrier and deleted OFF and replaced it with ON then restarted my device then went back into carrier to make sure it saved and all is good. Just hop it fixes my problem. Thanks again.
Now i need to tryn figure out how to make my call signal better....lots and lots of fun this phone is
When it kicked me off before it took awahile before it would connect back. While in the process of typing i got kicked off but connected back veryfast. Strange because im only about 15ft or so away from the router. I have noticed a big difference though, before my bars would fluxuwait from 1 bar to 5b now it usually stays at 5.
Anyother suggestions i can try
Go into your router settings and check/change the frequency(2.4-5) and the broadcast channel to match what the phone is using
Turns off the power save mode worked for me. Thanks. Now I don't want to flash to a custom to anymore. Thanks.

Thank you....All set now
I just upgraded my wifi from 3megs up to 12 megs. Im still having trouble downloading files that are 1g and up. I downloaded speed test.net and checked my down & up down reads 10.92m and up reads 2.23m but when im downloading a file say its 1.25g it slows waaaay down to like .94m is it supposed to do do that? Im the only one connected to my wifi at the moment.

12mb/s is a pretty slow speed. It's going to take a long time to download it. When you're downloading a file the speed you see is Mb/s not mb/s. Megabytes and megabits are a lot different.
AT&T service person came out today and upgraded my internet, from 3megs to 12megs. I asked the tech how fast it would download a 2g movie his answer was, " it should take about 15 mins at the most". Wireless is just a f#@$in scam the co$k [email protected]$!ers will tell you anything so they can get ypur money! The highest they offer in my area is 12megs funny thing about 15 miles from where i live they offer 50megs. Its just a rip off!! Im feed up EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD IS A MONEY RACKET...MONEY MONEY MONEY......IM SOOO PISSED

Done even better i upgraded from 3megs to 12megs and it still does it guess im stuck with this phone. Only other thing i have noticed is when im in the bed room i dont get any signal bars ever now and then i will get like 1 bar and manage to stay on wifi while i have service bars.
