Hi, i was using CM7 for a week, then suddenly, the mobile network begin to be freaky, cant stay on a network, cant make call and anything, I already cheked the apn settings and everything..
also switched to wcdma prefferred, to gsm only, or to wcdma sometime got signal, but after 1 or 2 minutes, cant connect to a network...
anyone can help please..
I'm having this as well ever since the update.
Gingerbread is half-baked if you ask me.
it seems to make and receive calls only in EDGE (in GSM ONLY mode), but when i change it to preferred wcdma or to wcdma only to get 3G, sometime get full signal but cant make any calls and also cant use data and sometimes got no service.. only in EDGE mode..
all this happen after using CM7 for a week... anyone please help..
baseband and radio are 32.50.0032U_5.12.00.08...
I also restore it to stock to FROYO FRF33 and the same issue, dont know what cause it..
I'm not sure it is fully related to gingerbread. I'm still using CM6 and had this issue on and off for about 3 days. It seems to have cleared up for me (knock on wood)
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
yess im having the same problem, i also noticed it after flashing to either honeycomb alpha or the new gingerbread update [i did both within an hour] but i cant fix this problem...:/
still cant connect to 3G, only in EDGE mode...
cant connect to a 3G network, already changed the radio to 5.08, 5.12 and downgrade it to 4.06 and nothing...
anyone know this issue??
if I cant solve it, I might gonna sell my Nexus One..,
Network issues have nothing to do with the phone, if they're constant with different ROMs. Check with your service provider.

is not the service provider, I change the sim card to another phone, and the 3G works flawless.
Also, put another sim of other carries with the same band, changed the APN settings, and it's the same problem with 3G, only work on 2G...
In that case, 2 options:
1) Wipe and check again.
If still doesn't work -
2) Hardware failure. Use the warranty.
I've been recently (1-2 months) battling with Data problems also and I don't know what the issue is. I know it isn't my Carrier because I just spent the whole month on the phone with them and they actually sent a Guy TO MY HOUSE to test the connection. I've never had problems before until around CM7 and me switching plans (which is what I thought it was).
My problem is that it works, but data just stops and doesn't want to reconnect. I have to toggle Airplane mode or reset to jump start it. I think changing towers while driving might do this too.
I've done the same tests. Changed Sim, Swapped Sims, etc. EDGE seems to be stable for me but 3G is wonky. I've flashed a PASSIMG and started from scratch that way back to root and CM7. I've downgraded my HBoot and reupgraded it. I've wiped and changed radio versions.
Right now I plan to swap to a few other Gingerbread roms and see if that fixes it. My N1 being my only internet connection it is hard to download other custom roms but I grabbed a few from work and put on my SD card.
I'm not blaming CM7 but at this point I'm really thinking about changing phones.
Ive read that there are issues with the Nexus One gps. Is this true and if so, what issues have you experienced?
PS. GPS doesnt have anything to do with the carrier does it?
well... my nexus already have 1 year, I'll sell it in a very cheap price, and buy the INSPIRE 4G and root it...
thx for your help guys..
Really hoping I can get some help on this problem; pretty sure I've read everything on the Internet without finding a solution.
I have an unlocked Telus Desire HD running on the Rogers network, everything should be fine there as far as phone and network compatiblilty is concerned. I can get service on Rogers' GSM only Edge network just fine, but when I make the setting for the 3G connection (WCDMA network preferred) I get a connection for about 30 sec. then is disappears and never comes back. As far as I can tell this is a common problem and have found no solution that works for me, bummer. Also, when I am connected to 3G I cannot make or recieve calls or SMS.
My next move is a root, debranding, installing custom ROM and flashing a new radio in hopes that flashing a different radio is the solution. I run CM7 on my Nexus One right now with the same SIM card I tried in the Desire HD on Rogers with no problems.
Any opinion on the chances of this fixing the problem, or should I just sell the device and go with something else?
Thanks,
Hi
I had this sort of problem before. It was just a problem on the Network's side. Not the phone. Call Rogers in your case and ask them about it. If they say its fine then thats the time to start messing about with your phone.
They wouldn't give me a solid response because it's not a device supported by the carrier; went to Telus and they wouldn't help me out with anything because evem though it's a Telus branded device, I'm on the Rogers network.
They are all no help at all. Any way I appreciate my Nexus One much more now.
OK the next thing to do would be to take the SIM card and put it in your Nexus One to see if there are any issues with the actual phone. If it works fine in the Nexus One then we have something to work with here.
I'm having a problem with my 3g connection since I flashed a new ROM.
I'm not sure if this is related to the fact that I'm using an unlocked Defy on AT&T. I won this phone a year ago, and I've been using it unlocked on AT&T since March with no problem.
I'm new to modding, but OCD about streamlining my electronics. My friend suggested rooting my device and flashing a new ROM. I decided on stock Nordic Froyo, and it makes me so happy not to see all the T-mobile crap in my apps tray. BUT the collateral damage is not so hot. I have no 3g or even 2g connection anymore.
I tried the fix in this thread http:// forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944258 and was able to get a signal with 4 bars instead of the previous state of emergency calls only, but no letters like E or 3g and no ability to use the internet/transfer data. I also installed the broadband switcher in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1052745 and tried all of the T-mobile US bands. No luck. I did reset the APN to default. No change. I've been using wifi, but will have to go back to work soon. Not having access to the smart part of my smartphone will feel sort of like having an arm cut off.
I'm not sure what to do next. I could try flashing another ROM, but from what I've read in the forums, that's no guarantee. If anyone has any suggestions to help a noob, I'd be forever grateful.
(And yes, I did first post this as a reply to another AT&T thread, but I think my problem is different than that OP's issue.)
Thanks in advance!
did u try the international baseband..
I just did. Same issue.
I've also tried the Argentine and Central American basebands. No luck. AT&T broadcasts 850/1900 while T-Mobile does 850/1700/2100, but 850 worked fine for the last 10 months. I don't get why things would fall apart now.
UPDATE: I was able to fix the problem by manually entering APN info. Am running on H now.
I have an ntelos S5 (G900R7). There is no development for this phone anywhere on the internet. Perhaps I can find support here?
---------
So far (you may skip this part):
I have managed to successfully install Spirit Rom with full functionality, by copying my old build.prop into the system directory, and restoring my previous apn settings using the apnsbu. I forget why I left this rom, but I did. Everything I try has some problem! I then proceeded to try just CM11, by itself, and had 3g difficulties. Then, using Kushman's sprint MIUI, (Ntelos shares sprint towers) things seemed to work right, but it remapped my recent app key to menu... (perhaps I can map it back?) and the volume was not controlled by my physical volume buttons.
-----------
Now my favorite rom so far: Mokee Rom It's fast and visually pleasing, but I have wi-fi and phone difficulties.
After imposing my APN settings, I can reproduce these effects:
(1) Before replacing build.prop, the wi-fi works and can be enabled or disabled as I need. Also, 3g works very well at nice speeds, but it says "Verizon Wireless" underneath the 3g indicator bars. However, I cannot make calls. If I attempt to do so, the 3g data stops working, turns orange, and no longer says "3g". If I do this, then no data can be transmitted or received.
(2) After Replacing build.prop with the "good original" copy (which sometimes fixes similar problems in other custom roms) the wi-fi becomes stuck in a constant state of "turning wi-fi on..." but never turns on. 3g still works, but, as in part (1), it will break if I try to make a call.'' Also, in this case it says "Sprint" instead of "Verizon Wireless"
Does any one have advice, or perhaps some build.prop settings to modify? Or maybe there's a different file that would help. Again, my phone is the SM G900R7. Has someone else with this phone had luck customizing it?
Thank you
nTelos S5
Likewise have a nTelos S5, have not found any custom roms that can successfully be installed without data or phone issues.
Also trying to install any ASOP roms resulted with all phone efs data getting cleared.
Upon searched relentlessly the only rom I found that functions is located at
http://teamcspire.com/index.php?/topic/112-gs5-g900r7-r2-teamcspire-nd8stock-deodexed-101814/
its very stock but functions flawlessly for me.
Advise if you have any luck, I will reciprocate.

My advice is to you, is that if you install Mokee rom, do not update it with OTA update. This is what I think broke the network for me. Even after restoring my phone to factory conditions and using Kies, I still had no network. I ended up going to the nTelos store, where they had to reset the network service for my phone on their end... strange.
Anyway, I have made a few roms work, and I suspect I could make more. If you maintain your apn settings, and build.prop, you should be able to make Spirit rom work. The same thing is true for Miui. However, if I remember from my experience correctly, if you do install Miui, then I THINK you should not restore your original build.prop; it may work without it... just restore the apn settings. When you do this, you may have to change the preferred network mode... I am a little freaked out, after my previous experience with Mokee rom, to mess with this any longer, though. I do have a problem with Spirit rom: if I use the Timely alarm clock, the time panel is miscolored, but I believe that could possibly? be fixed by flashing a different kernel. I plan on flashing Spirit tonight.... stock uses up my battery too fast, and Spirit just feels more responsive.
EDIT: I just re-flashed Spirit Rom, and they fixed the discoloration in the most recent version! Also, as before, my 3g and WiFi work fine.
Took me days...
The CSpire shares the model number and ROM. The US Cellular CM11 is the closest. Somewhere in that I lost my ability to send texts (not sure if it's the SMSC or...) and didn't get it back when I ODIN'd to stock. I would LOVE to have CM support for this model.
I also am in the same boat as you guys. I would love to get another reliable ROM on this phone. I just have bad memories of purchasing my last one (Sprint GS3) from ebay, and having one hell of a time making the MMS work after flashing it for nTelos. However, I never did have to mess with any of the APNs or build.prop settings on that one. I would think the Sprint ROMs should be the closest compatible ROM, being that nTelos and Sprint do share towers in WVa and Va (Sprint actually has zero towers in these states, and leases nTelos towers instead).
Is using EFS Backup by Wanam a good method to insure the EFS does not get screwed up?

You might try saving out your wpa_supplicant file from the stock ROM and replacing it on the flashed ROM. This has worked for me before on my GS3. That might take care of the wifi anyway.
I'm also on ntelos with the s5 now. But it is a us cellular unlocked by them phone. Stuck in a ntelos sim card that I bought from store and everything works. Except 4g. I can live w/o it but it's kinda like a puzzle now. How could I enable this to work on ntelos?
Depending on where you are, ntelos does not have 4G in many places yet. It's still very spotty in West Virginia.
Has anyone taken the OTA Lollipop update? If so, how is it working and does it lock or put in a new bootloader?
I have. It's a little laggy at times, gets really hot when using it while charging and battery drains a little faster. Not sure about the bootloader

I think I will hold off for a while. My stock NK1 is laggy enough as is. Damn, I wish there was a compatible ASOP ROM available for this phone.
Honestly, this Samsung G5 is the absolute worst phone I have ever owned! I would like to get a S6, but my experience has been so bad with this S5, I am almost afraid to stick with Samsung. However, my S3 was awesome!
Just found out that the heart rate sensor is active when the phone is on no matter if S Health is open or not.
I am in the Richmond area on Ntelos. They have stated they have sold their bandwidth to T-Mobile and we are to find another carrier. My phone is not even a year old and no other carrier will activate it. Being I own mine outright and paid close to $600, I am about to lose my mind knowing that I will have a shiny expensive very small tablet in a few months. Has anyone a clue how to change this phone over to GSM or something useful. Verizon refused to even try, though I know when I tried Straight Talk's Verizon Sim it did dial to Verizon's customer service. But Straight Talk nor Verizon would activate it.
Ideas and suggestions welcome.

page plus,i am an ntelos dealer and pageplus dealer i flash phones to and from both companies everyday i am in ruckersville va 12 mile north of charlottesville lemme know if you need help you right its the enitre eastern side of the companyh is gone now to tmobile but you can still activate on frawg..ive done many for customers
Thanks for the info. I am on the frawg side of things now. Their plans were too much when mine ended and I didn't need a phone at the time. Then a few years later, yeah I made my S1 last almost 4 years, I bought the S5 late last year outright. Loved the S1. Made that do everything it just did everything slow at the end.
Anyway, am glad there are options of some sort. Have been reading the reviews of pageplus. What kind of speeds are you getting on it with 4G? Their map shows coverage everywhere which makes me a bit uneasy, as in too good to be true. Is it a simple flash or require editing?
If I can't do something else with the phone, I may try the band opening options. According to the phone specs, it should already have all the Verizon bands but they refuse to activate it due to the meid it seems. I have a feeling this topic may get more viewers as the Ntelos off switch day comes closer.
Google Fit was the culprit for the heart rate sensor staying on. Un-installed it and fixed it
After all this time, has anybody found a ROM that works well on this phone?
can't get data so Internet not working on galaxy s5 unlocked already switched ntelos

In case nobody has seen this, there is a now a CyanogenMod 5.1.1 ROM available now for nTelos. I have been running it for 3 days now and I really like it. Good battery life too. Very stable and very speedy. There are some occasional bluetooth audio stuttering issues, but nothing terrible.
See this thread.

Hi,
I bought the LG V20 H910(AT&T) from Newegg because there was a good deal and it was unlocked, however I don't have a good cell reception with Fido. Could it be possible for me the flash the Canadian variant firmware(H915) over H910 to have the canadian modem and baseband?
Thanks
Yes.

I bought an unlocked ATT V20 H910m last year and bought it to Brazil, it's working fine but, as we don't have ATT here I cannot update it.
Do you know if I flash this H915 rom I will be able to use another carrier here and receive OTA updates?
Thanks
Another option (if the flashed firmware doesn't seem to help) is to use the EXT roaming option. It's a no cost (to Canadian cell users with one of the big three) option, all you have to do is manually select the network operator using one of the EXT providers that will show up besides the FIDO ones. I run the H990DS model and I'm over on the west coast of BC. Over the years the Rogers (who Fido actually is) cell tower signal has degraded so bad that it's practically unusable. So I just went to permanently roaming on Telus towers using EXT. Never had any financial repercussions from Fido on my bill and the Telus signal is very good. The EXT roaming is a mutual aid thing that Telus, Rogers and Bell came up with and implemented not that long ago (year or so ago).

I tried to do that but when I go into the network settings and I click on search networks I get Error while searching for networks
Mine does that once in a blue moon.
Either reboot it or turn it off and do a cold boot.
Do not try right away after booting has been completed, give it a few minutes to settle in. I have found that trying to scan right away after a boot is where what you experienced will happen, also once in a blue moon if the current network has issues (or it could just be the LG V20 itself) the signal drops out and a rescan doesn't work. I must say that this is a very infrequent occurrence (months+?).
Once you know how to deal with the idiosyncrasies of using the Fido-EXT it sure has worked great for me.
Out West (BC) I always get multiple Fido-EXT networks (see screenshot).
In my case one of the EXT networks is Telus and the other is BELL. It will only hook up with Telus not Bell, however out East it might be the other way around YMMV (your mileage may vary). No way to tell whose is who, just know to try the other one if the first doesn't work. AFAIK the order will stay the same after a reboot or cold start, so if it is a certain one in the list that works then it should be the same every time.
The odd time I switch back to Fido for awhile then go back to Fido-EXT, I can usually do this on the fly without having issues either way but if it doesn't co-operate a reboot or cold start takes care of it.
Hope that this helps you get it sorted out.

I don't even see that on my H910. I think AT&T restricts too much stuff on the phone. I even tried to enter the Telus APN manually and it doesn't work. I tried to enter the Telus APN settings in my /system/etc/apns-conf.xml and it didn't work.
The only other thing I can think of is (it might be stupid) do you have "roaming" enabled. If not I can see how that might affect things.
Also have you ever used the "hidden menu" from the dialer to explore?
In my case it's *#546368#*990# but you would substitute 910 for the 990.
You can make changes to the APN from there (and other things) , there's a few posts here on XDA about it.
Finally I also came across this app called "Settings Database Editor" that you can d/l from the Play Store.
I found here on XDA were someone used it to get tethering functioning properly, it lets you do a few things. All of the above work with stock phones - root not required. All these were found in the LG V20 forums.
Just kind of pulling straws for you on the hope that something might be of use.

That could be an idea. I'll try that. Thank you.
I too have the HR1010r AT&T V20 and live in Montenegro (Europe). I would like to flash the Canadian Oreo via the Flash Tool but want to make sure that I can say Bell, Rogers etc., and will it work? I don't care if I can get OTA updates, I just want to get Oreo! Lol
Thanks guys!
