No signal on T-Mobile

Im using T-Mobile and yesterday I got that empty service bars on the notification and it could only make emergency calls. Happens from time to time didn't think anything of it but I left the house and I'm still not getting any service. I was running paranoid android June 6 build so I tried switching ROMs and kernels but still no signal . of course I took out sim and rebooted the phone. I even put my sim on another phone and it work got signal and put there sim in my phone and wouldn't get any signal either. I ran out of options any help is greatly appreciated

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.

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 dropping out

My rooted Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 3 keeps dropping the WiFi. It doesn't make sense because it then will automatically reconnect. Any ideas on what's going on? Or have any suggestions?

You didn't really provide any details.

UPDATED
I just got off the phone with Verizon about the WiFi problem and the REP told me that Samsung would be releasing ota update 4.3.1 in 2 weeks and its suppose to fix everyones problem they been having with WiFi dropping
Can anyone else confirm?

Hard to say really. Because they both operate in the ISM band, there is a possibility of interference. For instance, take a look at this old (2002) article in EE Times.. But based on it's age, I would guess that current SOCs in handsets probably have radio hardware/firmware that has "other-protocol awareness" that prevent the device from interfering with itself, but probably do absolutely nothing about interference from/to other devices in the area on the "other" protocol. (That is, other BT devices interfering with the handset during it's use of 802.11, other 802.11 devices interfering with the handset's use of BT, and conversely for both). The protocol standards for Bluetooth and 802.11{a/b/g/n/ac} have mechanisms for cooperation/sharing for devices within their own protocol; but obviously a protocol standard can not have anything to say about something outside of it's own definition.
Then have a look at this Cisco article about the prevalence of interference in WiFi networks. Together with interop problems, it goes a long way to explaining why you see so many different reports of different kinds of trouble - the ISM band is a wide-open, uncontrolled experiment by the FCC. The fact that a lot of devices and combinations of devices succeed (WiFi is quite successful overall) is not a guarantee that trouble experienced in a particular case is the result of defective hardware or software.
Several generations of Android ago I experienced a problem where many devices on a WLAN were successful connecting to a Linksys WiFi router - and my Android phone would associate and authenticate successfully - but never get a DHCP lease. Sounds like a problem with the Android phone software/hardware, right? Except in this particular case, the problem was resolved by updating the router firmware, not the phone.
In that instance, it was tempting to "blame the phone" based on nominal behavior of other devices; but that inference turned out to be incorrect. The reasons that things happened the way they did was probably because the Android phone was staying within protocol, but exhibiting different behaviors than the other Windows/Apple devices on the WLAN, and those compliant - but different - behaviors elicited a bug in the router's software that the other devices did not trip.
That's the deal with Wifi. It takes two to tango. And there's always the possibility of other crap (portable phones, microwaves, baby monitors, wireless analog cameras, fluorescent lights) spoiling the dance.
Sorry to say it, but interop problems happen all the time with WiFi.
If you want to solve them in a particular instance, you have to start digging into the details.
If you control the WiFi router in question, there are far more knobs available to turn on the router than on the phone/tablet. Upgrade your router firmware, and start turning off unnecessary behaviors on the router. If you reduce the constellation of possible behaviors on either or both devices, the likelihood of bug expression will decrease.
.

Thanks to all who replied to the thread. Still having some issues with Wi-Fi. Has anyone been able to confirm that Verizon will be releasing a new update?
Thanks

Every router we'll be different so the web console interface will be unique per router model.
You want to login to your router via Google chrome or IE, and navigate to something along the lines of Wi-Fi channel frequency.
There should be a range from 1-11 "channels" and you want to try one at a time. Yours could be different than mine depending on interference around you.
I hope this kinda makes sense. This also applies to general networking if your laptop Wi-Fi signal is weak sauce

I have gave verizon/samsung pure h.e.l.l over my WiFi problem i have called them 100× make no mistake it pisses me off that im paying full retail for my note and i be damned its gonna work right. The verizon REP told me that Samsung was gonna release a 4.3.1 update in 2 weeks. 4.3 is Jellybean 4.3.1 is Jellybean....I know 4.3 has been out for sometime. While i was on the phone with VZW *****n about Samsungs mistake she gotten an email say that Samsung was updating to 4.3.1 in 2 weeks. She also said that the previous software didnt have this problem which im unaware of, because my note 3 came out with 4.3. She "VZW REP" went on to say that this started with the MJE 4.3 update. Who knows just have to wait n c.

there is no suggestions that really work none. i was told by Vzw that the bug was in 4.3 software. And i was also told that Samsung was gonna be sending out a small ota update which will be 4.3.1 in about a week n a half. unless i was lied to.

Nah, I don't think it's NFC, the maximum range is roughly around 10 cm, which is relatively short.
But what makes your think it's the Nexus that is triggering the alarm?

Well thought it was my vape at first. Its the phone in my op cuz happens to me and the wife she is stock I'm rooted. And its the only thing I'm my pocket when it happens JC Penny's old navy ross's k mart Walmart . its weird

Never had this happen nowhere in Germany. However I bought some boots once and months later in a random store the alarms went off. Showed one shoe was not unlocked when I bought it

Phone call problems.

Hey all I was just wondering if anyone is having problems with receiving calls. It seems to happen more and more lately. What happens is the phone rings and I answer it but I can't hear them and they can't hear me. The phone then disconnects. It doesn't matter where I am so I don't think it's a phone network problem. I travel all over the place as I'm a truck driver. It seems to happen more when connected to a Bluetooth device but now it's starting to happen when not.
I'm am rooted and at present running on stock. It doesn't matter if I'm on stock or a custom ROM it does the same thing. I'm really regretting getting this phone and ready to go back to my DROID RAZR MAXX HD. I like the phone its blazing fast but it has issues which I've asked about before. I bought this phone on the Edge plan and did line swapping to keep unlimited data. But I'm ready to throw it in the garbage or sell it real cheap. Or starting all over and leaving it unrooted and see what happens. Really wanted root so I could tether when ever I want. Any suggestions?

Low Frequency Beep During Calls

Is anyone else having any issues with the speaker when they are making calls on there S5? Whenever I'm talking with someone on the phone every 4 or 5 seconds I hear a low frequency beep the lasts about 1.5-2 seconds and then it goes away... After another 4 or 5 seconds it does it again. I really hope it's a software issue as I don't want to send my new phone in for a repair already.

Try disabling CARRIER IQ or removing it if you are rooted and then check for the beep afterwards see if it's gone and let us know what your results.

Well if you are not rooted go into settings then backup and reset and then collect diagnostics and uncheck it and this theoretically turns it off, now if you are rooted you can install root explorer open it up make sure that you are mounted as rw then search the root directory for carrier iq and delete it this removes it from the device.

Sorry.. but what exactly do you mean by "disable carrier iq"? Cause I'm a real newbie when it comes to doing administrative stuff to your phone...
I also thought that it maybe could be worth Factory reseting your phone? But I've got a lot of settings and stuff that I don't want to do again.. but if it's really needed I'll do it.

I tried that. But I'm afraid it did not work.. The annoying sound is still active. But the weird thing is that sometimes and on some calls it's occures very often and being annoying as hell.. and then again it can be off for like another call that lasts 30min+.. I hope that it's the phones own speaker that's broken or something..

Yeah. I tried all of them regular settings. Minutebeep, noise reduction etc.. The sound kept going. But I also noticed that when I connected my headphones and talked trough them that there was no annoying sound.. so I guess it's something with the phones own speaker.
But I put the phone on service today after 11 days of usage... lol. Hope they'll fix it!

I don't hear the issue when I'm using bluetooth in my car either. That being said I'm pretty sure it's a issue with the speaker in the phone. Time to swap it out for another device!

So Undergrad.. are you really swapping it in for another phone? They actually gave me that option.. but I kind of said no.. I just wanted my phone to work 100%.. maybe it was a stupid choice..

Target is ordering me a new device and hopefully it resolves the issue. It certainly appears that the issue is with the speaker.
