[Q] Problem with 3G on the defy plus - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

phone works fine when it is on 2G.. but as soon as i switch to 3G the H is displayed for a few seconds and then i lose connectivity.. i have to switch it back to 2G to get back connectivity.. i have tried changing the base band with the defy base band switcher.. no use.. But 3G works on other phones with my sim..
Currently on WhiteRabbit 1.5.2 plus.. but i have had the same problem on all the roms i have tried..
Is there a solution?? or is my device faulty??

3g problem solution
try cm9 latest by quarx u will get ur solution ..
but before going for latest flash
flash this rom first i.e CM9-ICS-MR1-120305-jordan.zip
because u can set ur apn and sync ur accounts like facebook gmail etc.
as the latest roms doesnt support apn settings automatically neither manually.
so flash this first and then flash ur latest rom by quarx..
p.s. when flashing latest rom no need delete any thing simply install from .zip over the previous rom

I had a similar experience and might have run into a solution, see
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725652
cheers,
Aditya

hmm but i had this problem even when i went back to the rooted stock sbf..
it's not just that 3G doesn't work.. i lose all connectivity and cant call also..
and i tried all the 3G fixes.. last thing i'll do is try is check if it works in the stock sbf.. otherwise i'll go to the service center and get it checked..

No data connection after rooting to custom rom (Darky's v5.6)

I'm new to flashing custom roms and what not. I used odin and flashed everything to the point, csc, modem,pda,pit the rom works awesome but i cannot for the life of me connect to the internet. the 3g icon or h icon wont' show up. in the status it says my network type is gprs and i'm roaming and my mobile network state is disconnected.
I'm with fido, the phone is unlocked i have never had trouble with data or anything until i flashed to a custom rom.
Anyone have the same problem or suggest how to fix?
Data Conn. Issue
Hey mate,
Have you gone into 'Settings', 'Wireless and Networks', 'Mobile Networks' and then 'APN settings' and entered your appropriate settings?
That should fix it if you define the correct access point.
Alex
hey man, yeah i did all that stuff, went in there, found my carrier, put in all the apn settings i can find and still nothing. when i put data roaming on then i get data and the edge icon comes up.
Hey dude,
That sounds strange, flashing custom (or even release) roms is never a guarantee especially with weaknesses in the way that ODIN communicates with your phone, What I would do is Re-Flash your stock rom through ODIN then use the "quick" install method from Darkyy.
I am running 5.6 like you, and I had issues doing it through odin (I kept getting random FC's), additionally, the rom; if installed from CWM will keep your apns and apps e.t.c. along with many settings and configs from the base rom you're using before the flash.
That is the best advice I can give you.
Alex
My config is a follows:
I9000 International
16gb SDHC
500HZ Hardcore Kernel
Darkyy 5.6
Whats the process for reverting back to stock 2.1 eclair rom?
Did you keep a record of your firmware version before reflashing?
If not, you may have to ask someone on here what your base firmware was.
Are you familiar with using ODIN? (The software used for reflashing)
Alex
I am having same issue to...I used 5.4 from Darky and it works well...same with DocRom 4.0 works and the next 5.1/6.0 don't work.
Both Darkys and DocRom are based some JPX....which seem to be root cause..
I've have the same problem. Tried eveything but still didn't work. So went to Samsung Service Centre to have my SGS firmware refresh. I notice after the refreshed same issue of data com missing. Told them and they when into the SGS to select the telco operator setting selection. Now data com. working well. Anyone know the SGS handset setting code? I want to reload to Darky's v5.6 again.
hi folks
i have the same problem... my provider is a virtual provider in the network of our biggest provider here in austria. i was using doc's rom based on xwjpa firmeware and everything worked fine without enabled roaming options.
since doc's rom is based on the newer releases (xxjpx, xxjpy) i' only able to use data connection if i turn on roaming. it also shows me that i'm in a roaming network. i guess the cause are the xx firmwares. xw and xx are european firmwares but i do not know the differences between them. maybe someone has more information about the differences? currently i'm using xwjpa firmware because i don't want to use my phone with enabled roaming options.
hey um i'm having the same problem and thought replying here would be better than starting a new thread.
well i installed the rom without having any idea of what i was doing *stupid idea* so i didn't take note of my original firmware.
i didn't use odin to install the rom just clockwork recovery and the rom and everything installed fine except my data network. i can get signal, call, receive the only problem is i get no data transfer. any help much appreciated. if anything can someone help me step by step to reboot my phone to original?
just for future travellers
Sadly this isn't my own gem, but yeah. hold the power button down, wait for the shutdown menu, above the airplane mode there is a data network button, and it'll most likely say "de-activated" if nothing else has worked. Its ok to feel like a chump, I did after rehashing the hell out of this phone for a few days ( the wifes phone, my phone does exactly what its told. )
Anyway, yeah, this will probably be the reason for the lack of the icon "G", "3G" or "H" where it should be.

Hi !
As I mentioned above. I have Android ROM (Typhoon_3.5.9-MAGLDR) on my Leo and I think its great. But I have problem with internet connection on it. When I turning internet connection 2G or 3G phone freezing and I must to remove battery. I have tried many different custom ROMs with no success. Only one version works properly on my HD2 and it is stock ROM [cLK-Clean]_BOYPPC-CM7_Go EX_V43_(25.Aug). Please help me to resolve this.

Sounds like you might need to update to the newest radio 2.15
Check what radio you have right now
ww.4shared.com/file/rVNaZcTK/Task_29_with_Radio_2155014.html
Thanks a lot but it is not working still.
This is what I have done:
1. Update Radio ROM from 2.13 to 2.15
2. Flashing DFT_LEO_MAGLDR113_DAF
3. Recovery_150M_system_5M_cache_v3.0.2.5_
4. ROM TyphooN_CM7_v3.5.9-MAGLDR
when I figure out that phone still not working properly I have decided do flash another ROM version: NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V3.0_NAND_(Android-2.3.5). But my Leo still freezing and I can't even configure it when 2G or 3G connection established. WiFi is working very good and this is only way to use internet in my LEO.
Maybe You have any other ideas how to resolve my problem ? Please

hmm
maybe updating to the newest clockwork would help 4.0.1.4 works really well on all roms i run and i do a lot
but the main culprit is THE APN settings
go into wireless settings>mobile networks>access point names (apn)
make sure you have the right settings in there for your provider
i remember when android first came to hd2 i had to input those setting every time i put a new rom in.
i dont know who ur provider is but it should be easy to find out the proper settings for it and then inputting them and saving
otherwise it could be your sim card
see how it goes ..... see what the apn settings are for boyppc and just copy them to other roms
you could PM me too
panie wojciechu nie ma problemu
Po polsku piszemy ?
I'm gonna check this settings. but in my opinion this is hardware issue. When phone is freezed - mainboard temperature is increasing. Sometimes I must wait until temperature decrease to normal becouse Android is not starting. It's stop on Go go go screen of MAGLDR.
When 2G or 3G connection is established I can download files or browse internet so I think that provider (T-mobile) settings are ok but as I mentioned I gonna check this out.
Thank you again
I agree when the phone overheats it freezes and turns off. Turning the phone on before letting it cool off will cause boot failure you're describing. Frequent overheating can ause the touchscreen to stop responding as well. It happened to my phone too, thank god it was under warranty. Since that day I stopped overclocking it.

[Q] [URGENT] No network signal issue AGAIN!

So I faced the no network signal issue yet again today, and I know I may be the Nth guy who's repeating it again, but since I searched throughout the forums, and the web, but to no avail, I desperately need help here.
Mine is a Defy+, with stock rooted 2.3.4 Asia retail unlocked. My carrier is Vodafone India.
This is what I did:
- Took a backup of everything, even nandroid.
- Installed Defy 2ndinit, and got the bootmenu installed.
- Reboot>vol down on blue led>bootmenu>recovery>custom recovery
- Here I did a factory setting>Wipe Data>Wipe Dalvik Cache>Wipe Cache.
- Next>Install zip from sd>11.10 JB Defy+ Quark's ROM>Update v2>Custom GAPPS
- At this point, the phone rebooted coz there was no other option.
At first boot, it took a loooooooong time, but finally I booted into JB! Result!
But alas, there was no network signal to be found, while my other vodafone india handset had full signal.
Hence, I couldn't set up my google account, and thought, that I could fix it once I proceed.
- I tried the airplane mode on/off method: No success.
- I tried rebooting several times: No success
- I tried clearing cache & dalvik cache and then rebooting: No success
- I tried fiddling with the baseband switcher, and trying different profiles, other countries etc etc: No success.
- The phone wouldn't connect to the WEP, WPA2, or No authentication(open) ad-hoc wi-fi interent connections that I shared via my laptop either. It easily connected earlier on GB 2.3.4 stock.
- I tried manually searching for a network as well, and found EVERY network EXCEPT for Vodafone India, which my sim could register to. This, while my other vodafone phone was lying right beside it with FULL signal.
The ROM was working beautifully, with all the bells and whistles, albeit a bit laggy, but that could easily be fixed later. The main problem being that this issue, doesn't lemme get data access on my phone either, so its essentially just a dumb-phone then.
This had happened earlier as well, when I had tried to multi-boot ICS CM9, with my stock 2.3.4
Then, I couldnt part with the stock ROM, and hence I believed that the no network issue could be due to multi-booting, and would be resolved with a complete install.
Now, I love JB, and everything it comes with, but I am stuck with this essentially simple issue. Please help me out here.
Hey gautam,
i have a defy on vodafone mumbai (not a defy+) and i dont seem to have a problem. I hadvent used CM10 i was on 7.2 and i used central europe as my baseband in the baseband switcher. But actually i had signal straight out of the box with 7.2. I would suggest you try with another sim card. Or try downgrading. It could be because 11.10 is custom kernel one but nogoodusername is also an indian and is using custom kernels. I doubt its a baseband problem because you can see and register on other networks. I think possibly something was corrupted by your install since not even your wifi is not working some radio drivers could be bugged.
If its not your sim a reflash of OS might be required. If you're downgrading to GB you may need to reflash your kernel to get off Quarx's

Will try and find out if this works..
Please keep sharing any other solutions in case this doesn't work..
If you have IMEI number use Baseband switcher , play with is a little bit.
if not , backup your rom , flash stock SBF. <wipes and all with stock recovery>
boot to stock FW , and now you 2 options :
Case 1:- You don't have signal , and even if you don't have IMEI number in stock , root it and use the baseband switcher on the stock , make sure you reboot every BB switch , and that Signal bar even tries to increase <even a little bit.>
Case 2:- You have signal .
please try these steps to get network

[ASK[[NEED HELP][Data Connection]

Sir, i've repaired my phone from autoreboot by this way http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1971266
But after installation done, my phone wasn't detect the HSDPA/HSPA Connection(Before i do install that trick, my phone 3G Are great, but the problem is my phone always restarting every 1-5 min). I've checked 4636 and then i change the connection to JAPAN BAND for get HSDPA Connection, but it never works, still only can use only EDGE Connection. I see my brother phone connection is HSDPA on, but when i change his card to my phone, the HSDPA Connection are can't be use, always no signal. Did u know what was wrong sir? i've re-installed fw froyo-gw-froyo-gb and then no effect was takes. still can only use EDGE Connection :'(
Did you change the IMEI?
This guide replaces the IMEI which was in another phone.
is your phone the normal u8800, or u8800-51, or u8800H? (or u8800pro)

i'm tempted to think that you may have a wrong firmware somehow, because for example I have u8800H. It supports HSDPA and HSUPA+. However, when i use u8800 firmware, what happpens is that i lose the ability to switch networks. So i'm only forced to use "select network automatically".
What you can try at this moment is go to google play, download "Elixir 2".
after running it, go to information then click "telephony". Then try to do the APN or the data settings. Try switching it to UMTS/WCDMA only. That may help (more battery used!)
Or, probably the ROM you're using (since you said you're now on official ROM) has lower TX transmit power?

Maybe. now im back on cm7 kernel 32(base froyo) . Still got signal only up 2bar. When try to go to b526 the H signal are lost. Only can use edge connection
I will try to go to B528 as soon as possible
I Think my problem is on IMEI, bcoz after flash the fullflash.bin my imei changed to another phone, needs to change IMEI to stock (FRESH FLASH IMEI, NO ONLY FLASHING THE NUMBER) so i can get the H signal working good again. But i was try using DFS to change, only IMEI number changed and keep hsdpa no working
*UPDATE
After flash directly to B528, It still no signal when go to gingerbread. i must back to froyo and install cm7 again or get another tips to get my H signal working fine again?

stick to the 528, but i think you may need to reflash your IMEI, I think. But if you do it again chances are it may break down your phone.
How about the APN settings? Is it there?

I have flash B528, reflash the imei but qualcomm.background passwors are wrong. try to restore imei from my brother phone and imei is 0. setting qualcomm background pass= 0 and it worked. re-flash imei but no luck. still no signal
And im reflash my phone again with linux ubuntu like before. using cm7 32 kernel are better way than breaking hardware (overheated component) of my phone
APN setting are exist
With operator im using "Three" i can get 2 signal bar hsdpa
and "XL" i got up fullbar (but its only appear a few sec -,-) but my phone still usable than before i had problem auto reboot
hi. i have exactly the same problem that you have. i flashed my phone with that fullbackup.bin and updated the phone to b528. i already tried all the GB roms and nothing, can't have cdma(umts) network, only gsm. (edge)
tried to flash my own imei, and have the same problem. no 3g at all
anyone have a workaround for this problem? i managed to take the phone to the warranty, and came equal. (what a lol)

GT-i9505 No mobile network/data after flashing custom ROM

Hi guys been searching all day when I can grab some free WiFi, basically I rooted my s4 gti9505 with auto root and then installed custom recovery, and flashed PAC rom. I'm unable to make calls or receive mobile data but can use WiFi. My settings say baseband unknown .. I'll attach a picture of my settings here in this thread. I have attempted to flash a modem/radio in Odin but this didn't seem to make any difference, the problem is I'm not sure if it was the right thing to do (didn't make a back up of my phone foolishly before flashing PAC rom)
I'd appreciate any help with this guys! My network is vodaphone UK if that makes any difference to any advice given...
Thanks in advance!

will do this too, have just finished flashing MGA modem twice using your steps, will flash rom again..i wonder if i should wipe/factory wipe as i would when installing new rom...ill try it!
no luck -still no network. im running out of ideas
network - unknown
mobile network type - unknown
imei unknown
imei sv - unknown
going out now for a while but thought id ask - do you think that installing official stock rom (perhaps from your s4 unrooting guide) would help flashed via odin? from searching i can see that some folk suggest that stock will reinstall everything i need...im hoping so, i really wouldnt mind going back to stock, anythings better than this

did you put modem in "phone" in odin?
hmmm weird! i guess your imei is not corrupted, sometimes while flashing rom in cwm, efs partition is not detected, so flashing modem twice should work
you can try with an other modem, use new one (but im sure to flash it twice)
another option is trying to flash your stock firmware

yes put it in "phone" mode, thats the second or third one i have flashed now so im not sure it wont help but for sure ill try again!
are you able to determine that its not corrupted? would it state as such if it were? im going to flash a stock firmware as a last resort. lost after that haha
edit - installed cwm using sgs4 flasher and re-installed my custom rom and gapps, booted no probs and network now working - sorted!! thanks for your help i dont think i would have reflashed the rom without your advice to do so
So I'm practically in the same boat. I'm currently on P.A.C. man nightly 09/18 (Vodafone Germany branded device). I never had similar problems, but now I can't call (or be called) and I'm not able to use mobile data.
I nearly tried everything:
1) I checked the IMEI (saved it before switching over to custom roms), but an IMEI number is still there.
2) Went back to stock to see if it's a problem of P.A.C. man ROMS or not. On stock it didn't work either.
3) Went back to P.A.C. man ROM and flashed modem XXUBMF8 via Odin 3.04 (from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025)
4) Flashed the modem again after I flashed the ROM because it didn't work either.
So I'm completely lost now, I really don't know what to do next. I had mobile data for a couple of seconds every now and then, but nothing stable. And since the problem came up (yesterday evening) I can not make any calls at all.
Can someone help me?
Edit: The very strange thing is that I have full reception balks in the notification area (only in grey). But still, I guess this means that the device is somehow able to detect a signal but can not connect to it?
Edit2: I apparently have no Device-ID. May that be a problem?
So I took some screenshots to show you guys my problem a bit better. For some reason my mobile data now works (currently HSPA, but it's extremely slow). But I still can't make any calls (or get called too). =/
Edit: So to sum this up: the strangest thing about this problem is, that even when I go back to full stock I can't make calls. =/ What could be the problem? An IMEI number is present in the settings (althouh the 'IMEI SV' under 'About phone' --> 'Status' was one digit below the current one that I can see under those stats). The whole problem makes me believe that my provider can't sort my phone number to my device (I'm on Vodafone; but if that's really the case: why the hell does mobile data works sometimes?!). The other possibility: something with the modem/radio is broken. Could this be the problem? The thing is that I also tried to flash a custom modem, but the problem is still there...
I'm really concerned that my phone just became an expensive paperweight
Slightly different than my problem in that I didn't even have any bars for reception..my problem was fixed by changing the custom recovery software (originally I used philz to flash PAC), But I flashed cwm and then used this to again flash PAC, and all was good..don't ask my why but it helped me so you might want to try this...

Thank you for your answer!
You also flashed a different modem didn't you? Did this help or was it only the custom recovery? I'm confused because I used CWM before and never had problems. But then this mess all came up...
Yes I flashed several modems, that didn't help..only using a different custom recovery to flash my custom Rom again helped..hope you get sorted!

So I tried to flash PAC with TWRP 2.6.0 (it worked before), but the problem is still there.
I'm really confused. I really don't know what I can do or try to fix this mess... Is there some USSD code or something to find out if my device is missing some ID codes or if the modem is messed up or something?
Edit:
Update: For some reason I now can receive calls/SMS but only when I'm on GPRS speed. Outgoing and ingoing calls are no problem then. When my device is on HSPA or HSPA+ speed however, the old problem of not being able to call or be called is back. On one hand it's good that I'm somehow able to make calls again on the other hand it gets stranger and stranger. I know that it's a bug on PAC man ROMs that you can't change the mobile data speed options (LTE/HSPA/GPRS etc.), but I think that this could be the problem (or at least a part of it)...

Actually I can change the data in my phone between 3G and 2G (don't have LTE support here in my country)
Have you checked your APN? Think that might be a problem.
Also please post the steps you take before flashing PAC (ROM, kernel, recovery, etc)

Within Wireless & Networks --> Mobile Networks --> Network Mode? On PAC? It always crashes when I try to change something there. In the PAC bug post this seems to be a known bug, my mode is also set to GSM/WCDMA/LTE. But whenever I enter the settings to change this, only 'LTE' is chosen as option. I don't have LTE on my plan and I read somewhere else that Vodafone has major problems with it's LTE network here in Germany and that it may be better for customers without it to turn it off.
About APN: there is definitely something strange. I can enter the settings and I see three different APNs that were not created by me (they must be the standard carrier ones): they are called Vodafone DE (for Germany), 1und1 (pretty strange because the settings are the very same on this one, only the name is different) and Vodafone DE-MMS.
The strange thing now is that I can't change any value of the Vodafone DE APN... When I go into its settings, everything ia greyed out. This was the same on the stock ROM...
Now when I create a new APN with the correct provider settings (found via Google on the VF homepage), the phone still won't work. When I put the device aside for a few minutes, the Vodafone Deutschland DE APN is the selected APN again although I never went back to it...
Is there some option to take a deeper look into the modem stats to see what's the problem?
Install stock ROM

Mate you should try installing Stock ROM that might help I think !

I tried that already, but it didn't help. Same problem...
I factory resetted the phone, wiped cache and dalvik cache and then flashed my Vodafone branded stock ROM via Odin that I had on my device when I got it. Didn't help for some reason... But: should I also try to go back to stock ROM via KIES? I haven't tried this method until now...
Edit: About my flashing method: I went from the stock ROM to rooted (via CF Auto root with Odin). For PAC I then flashed TWRP 2.6.0 and then in recovery factory resetted the phone, wiped cache and dalvik and then installed PAC. After that I installed GApps. I used this method before and it worked without any problems...
Edit2: I found this thread, it appears to be the same/a similar problem with the S3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1805709&page=6
Now is there something similar for the S4? I think I tried calling ##72786# on stock ROM and it didn't work...

Delete the unused APNs.
Do you have mobile data?
Also I asume that you're running the latest vertigo's build, because with me GSM/WCDMA/LTE is always selected.

Sometimes I have mobile data, but only for very limited time; for the majority of time, I don't have mobile data and can not make calls.
I also tried to delete the unused APNs, but still no change =/
I tried to use a different Micro SIM in this device, but the same problem appears. No data, no phone although I have grey reception balks.
any update on this one?!
