[Q] Flashed LG LS970 & LS980 3G Connection Problem

Hello. I flashed a Sprint LG G2 to PagePlus. The Flash goes well and All my items stick. But the problem is the connection is unstable. I'm noticed with both the LS970 and LS980 the same problem happens. The mobile data will first connect with 1x then to Evdo. Then the network will disconnect. I flash phones to pageplus all the time and they all have 3G - EVDO. But the unstable 3G is crazy. It will not stay connected. Why are the new LG phones like this? Has anyone encountered this problem and found a solution? I look forward to people's reply because I know a lot of people have run into this problem. Thanks in advanced.

Hello. Absolutely! That's my personal phone! Just make sure when you flash it, you leave the SIM card in the phone. 3g data works, mms, etc. Good luck.

The flashing method is same for all phones. Doesn't matter what kind. I'll give you a good starting place. Viper32 has a forum on here helping people with flashing. And there are plenty of forums with a ton of info. Good luck.

this g2 has been a nightmare for me. i have gotten used to samsung just flash and forget about it, only thing break flash on them is ota. this g2 though..... :/
I'm having same issue. unstable 3g

Sprint probs
What happened with mines is similar but I had the att variant
So I flashed mime to sprint and it worked but only on their 1x network and 3g towers in order for 4g to work and there new spark network I had to get a Sim card and pop it in and boom 4g LTE worked the sec I put it in

Any issues with losing call history at all, after flashing it to PagePlus?

No. Call history has nothing to do with flashing. The only way you can lose call history is if you factory reset the phone or you personally delete the call history yourself.

Actually its a known issue with this phone, that it looses its call history when flashed.
It has something to do with the Stock ROM release

I have the same issue.
Also I get a "MIP : 89" error sometimes.
Also, I have a system update downloaded waiting to install but not sure if it'll kill my flash so I've been scared to hit the button.

Is your phone the LS980? I had a customer who updated his LS980 this past week and I had to re-flash his phone. You'll probably have to re-flash as well.

Galaxy S4 Reception - Flash New Radio?

Ever since I got my new Galaxy S4 (Fido) the other day my reception has been less than expected. I get 1/2 bars in a room in my house where my previous phone (Motorola Atrix 4G) had full bars. I already exchanged the phone for another S4 and the new one has the same issue. The only constant is my SIM card which I will try and replace, but if that doesn't work are there any reliable radios which can be flashed on the S4? I know for the Motorola Atrix 4G there were some better radios compared to stock which gave me great reception. If this is the same for the S4 can somebody please post a link to the radios I can try? Thanks!

You should flash the modem appropriate for your region. There is a big modem thread in the General section with lots of resources available to you.

Thanks for the reply! Although I can't seem to find the Canada modems for the i9505. Canada isn't listed in the firmware checker link provided in that post. Can anyone recommend or let me know which modems are compatible with a Canadian i9505? The baseband of my phone right now is l337MVLUFNC1.
Thanks.

I'm not sure what you mean exactly. I haven't flashed anything on my phone yet, it's all still stock. I'm waiting to flash a new ROM and modem since when I do I can't bring back the phone anymore and as of right now I'm thinking about returning it since I'm having bad reception. If someone can tell me for certain that a specific Canadian modem will give me good reception then I'll be more likely to keep the phone.

Isn't that the whole point to flashing a new modem/baseband? To get better reception/Wi-Fi/battery life/download speed?

Then what is the reason because if flashing a new modem won't do it for me I'm going to be forced to exchange my phone again?

1. Your phone is OK if you go outside and you have full signal.
2. You need exchange ur phone if you go outside and you have low signal.
3. Don't ask me again if you can flash other modem. With 3 times is enough.

Texts (SMS) Are sending With A +1 international Code

When sending text messages(SMS), to my contacts, They are ending up converting to a different format like if it were international friends. Because each time, the messages are being sent with a +1 international code before them.
Also because of this, my texts aren't getting delivered to my contacts .
And I have to often have to start a new thread with manually putting a zero(0) before sending a text each time.
I'm using the stock Message app.
P.S: This issue started when I updated to latest G900VVRU1ANI2 4.4.4 update.
Anyone else facing the problem or faced in the past and got it solved?

Why are you using a Verizon variant in Karachi? you should have one of the international versions.

The OP in the below linked thread is having the same problem as you:

Yes he has described the same problem which I'm also facing that's why I have already posted on his thread about the solution if he had found any.
BTW, You guys didn't face this problem?

Well if it is a GS4, then you are in the wrong sub-forum. lol
But no, I've never experienced this as I am using a VZW GS5 on a Verizon plan and network. It's probably because you are outside of the US that it's trying to input the +1 for you, and that's not going to work in Karachi.

Oops, that was a typo. I did buy a Verizon GS5 used.
No it was working perfectly fine before. The G900VVRU1ANI2 update created this issue.

Is it possible to Downgrade to the stock 4.4.2 Verizon firmware From 4.4.4 via ODIN ?
1 thing more: How do you find out whether you are having the Verizon Galaxy S5 variant or the Verizon Galaxy S5 Developer Version Variant?

I just flashed from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 and forgot to do the NCG kernel thing, and then went back to 4.4.2 from 4.4.4 just fine. Worth a shot I guess. GLHF.

Anyone found a fix for this?
I really liked the NI2 update. Its buttery smooth and fingerprint scanner works really well !

Anyone?

Try using wifi tweaks at the build.prop , also there are apps like "andromizer" and "pimp-my-rom" that can make it easier.
About the 3G try deleting your APN and re-entering it according to your carrier.
Try using other sim-card (preffered of other carrier) and seeing if the issue still there.
If it won't help it might be a hardware issue so try taking it to a service center.

Hard telling but likely software if it was fine before the upgrade try a factory reset maybe something went wrong during the upgrade.
But like i said why bother screwing around its the carriers responsibilty to give you working updates
Gluck anyways
