And when youre on the wcdma/gsm mode?
Only wcdma and only gsm at times causes a pain in the buttcrack.

even in auto mode, i tried everything i could try and i cant seem to find a solution for this, my guess is it's either a hardware problem but i dont know how could that happen.

Hello,
I answer here to help also someone else in case has the same problem.
Fiest thing: you wrote CDMA module, what variant is?
The GT-I9505 has a LTE/WCDMA module, not CDMA.
Have you touched something with secret menu codes? If you don't know what they are, the answer is no
What carrier do you have?
Have you roaming enabled?
You data plan reduces connection after a total GBs used at maximum speed?
Try to flash latest available modem fw along with latest bootloader, you can find them here

Thank u for ur reply,
First you are right I'm talking about the LTE/WCDMA module, and yes i messed up a little bit the with the secret menu codes but only after i got the issue, not before that.
I'm from morocco so the carrier is a moroccan one called inwi, the carrier does not reduce the speed, when u consume the GBs given the service is suspended.
the issue appeared when i was using wanam lite 3.1 i'm using wifi at home all the time so i couldnt notice until i went out and used data, i noticed that i only have edge in locations that used to give me H+, so when i tried to force wcdma by choosing wcdma only i got emergency calls only.
i messed around before with a couple of bootloaders and modems, I still cannot figure it out
your help is appreciated, thanks in advance

I had the same problem on Wanam. What solved it for me:
Use Shortcut Master (lite) to go to this menu: 4636
Then go to phone information and change the bandwith to something else. Then set it back to LTE/WCDMA or whatever works for you. Strange but it worked for me.

Get the network cable changed or change it yourself.
The only easy "non software" related solution.
Or maybe if it is in the software, tried flashing the stock rom or any ither custom rom after a full wipe.
Mine was with the stock rom but ozcan rom + data wipe has solved it..
Not i get H+ in only wcdma amd E/H+ in auto mode. (depending on the network area)

Incoming calls not working on Note.

Okay, so its been a week since I got a Galaxy Note...
I haven't rooted or anything and its running no the firmware is "XXKL3" and baseband is "N7000DDKL1"...
The phone was working completely fine until today morning, whenever someone calls he gets "The number you have dialed is out of coverage area"....
While out going calls work perfectly fine.
So I removed the SIM and put in Vodafone SIM which worked fine in Note....
Then I put the non-working IDEA SIM into another phone and it was working fine too....
Then I put the IDEA SIM back in the Note and I once again had the same problem.
I tried a hard reset from recovery but that didn't work either
Has anyone experienced the same problem?
Any solutions?
On a side note if nothing works out I am planning to flash the phone but the HotFile link for "N7000ODDLA1" is not giving me speeds more than 30 KB/s.... -_-
So, has anyone mirrored the firmware to another file hosting site?
If yes, can someone provide me the link?
If vodafone works n idea not working, means service conflict is there. Check call setting.
Latest version is ddlb2
Go to dev section n find my thread n7000 stock roms, it is sticky thread.

Issue 3G / 4G

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my S4 i9505.
When I try to connect my phone on 3G or 4G, I have no data connection, I can't make call and nobody can call me.
In About phone > Status my network type is Unknow:0
If I force 2G only, no problem and earlier 3G/4G works well.
I try to flash stock firmware with Odin (HOME, Kernel, Recovery, Modem) but without success
My operator is Proximus (Belgium) and I'm in stock MGA.
Anybody can help me please ?

Can't understand why it doesn't work now...
2G / 3G / 4G depend of kernel or other ? Is it possible that somewhere there is a script (or other file like init) that cause this problem ?

thx for your rep, my net mode is set as lte/wcdma/gsm... however, when i set it to wcdma only, on low signal areas the signal drops dramatically, because of freq. change, i keep flashing new modems in order to find the suitable one :/

Hi
that is an option is most likely a modem issue, you could also see what modem your country operator uses ( check in sammobile) and flas it to see if you get an impovement

I'm totally messed up with Service mode on samsung galaxy duos. Which caused not recognising any SIM. Help me out to reset everything to Service mode default. Thanks in Adv
@Iway76: You get a kudos for searching before posting, even though this isn't the right forum for you. I would recommend attempting to install a stock ROM using Odin, not Kies, and see if that helps. If that doesn't help, you may have to take the device in for service as you may have a hardware issue like mine, where the SIM card tray died while attempting to unlock the S4 - again - and it just was a coincidence that the hardware failed while working on the service menu unlock.

Problem with a gt i9505 GALAXY S4 PLZ HELP...

My s4 is rooted. The problem is that after some flashing of custom roms my 4g/3g is not working properly . In other words, in all roms above jellybean ( kitkat and lollipop) my LTE and 3G is working only for 1-2 minutes and then my signal drops to zero no signal at all. When i switch to GSM signal comes imidiatelly to full! I have searched a lot in this forum , I have tried many times to change modem , CSC using ODIN ofc, but no succeess so far.. I dont know what else to try or to do differently...I also tried to flash the stock modem but still no success... I would like to add that in 90% of roms that i have tried so far my WIFI , and everything else is working normally ... My only issue is what i had mentioned before...PLZ help me.. I DONT KNOW WHERE TO REFER TO IN THIS SITE...
May be you need to set APN (Access Point Names) for your mobile service provider

I think you have a big misconception about what this site it. It's not a helpdesk. It's people helping people and we are not forced to reply.
You have the losing of the signal also on stock Lollipop roms?
Setting APN is not a switch though, you have to put in settings that your 3G/4G service provider uses. Either search for the settings on the Web or ask your 3G/4G service provider for the settings.

I kind of just saw this in the "unread" tab here on xda, so first I would like to apologise for replying without having your device. But, the only thought that comes to mind is a baseband/modem. Not sure if the sgs4 has flashable modems but it would definitely help if you guys did.

I also use a rooted galaxy S4 but model GT-i9500 I have the same problem as you,
can not connect to 3G/4G network with kitkat and lollipop based rom.
All I had to do to fix it is to set the correct APN settings for my 3G/4G network
just make sure that the modem you are using is the same one as your new rom is based on,
I have to do this every time I flash a new rom....
well i dont know but it all seems complicated . I ll try guys !!! Another question to those who have galaxy s4! Is it my misconception or all the roms above custom jellybean make the S4 slower?? Lollipop Kitkat are ok But exept of the Google based( pac-man , cyanogen, paranoid etc..) all the touch wiz roms are slower than a custom jellybean ...

Can't Use CM13 with Unlocked L720?

So i've got a L720 that i've rooted, unlocked, and flashed CM12.1 snapshot, I flashed NAE baseband after unlocking and all is well, however I'd like to be able to use CM13, but every time that i flash either a nightly, or JDCTeam's optimized CM13 (which is what i'd prefer to use if a solution is available), It forces LTE/CDMA (auto) in the *#*#4636#*#* menu, if i pick GSM/WCDMA and reboot it just goes back to LTE/CDMA (auto) and i have no idea how to make it work, if there is even a way, does the GSM unlock not stick on 6.0.1 ROMs?
Thanks for any help you can give me :/

Looks like we may be stuck on CM12 or LP based custom ROMs my friend
To be perfectly honest, you're not missing out on anything, having run the same ROM of LP and of MM, there is no real difference in regards to performance and battery life.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk
This is really sad... I've spent 3 days flashing various modems and can't find nothing. Though, I'd point out my LP kinda behaves same as my M, when it's done loading apps after flashing, it ask to insert simcard (same like my M), but then I go change the network type to 3g and network returns on the phone. Tried with cm13 but nothing, does anyone know what could be wrong??
my L720 detect sim but signal not work
