Hi I ve going through the forums and found some info on this topic but couldn't fill my stomach with it. Thats why and I must say that I am in need for urgent pro help.
So I got a LG G2 Unlocked in India. Its Sprint edition from US that I bought in India. So its unlocked and yes I am able to use cellular calling and the 3G using 'Change APN' app.
where I just put my Network Provider name and then Apn = www
The major problem in my handset is that when ever I am trying to open wifi hotspot or I am trying to recieve or send files through Share it app it doesnt seem to work.
When I try to manually switch on Wifi hotspot it hangs and keeps saying "turning On" and time passes by and nothing happens. i am able to use the phone in every way in the mean time.
Same with share it when I try to use it it says the sender should press send... but actually nothing happens no matter who all send.
Is it something with the software?? because normal wifi does turn on and I am able to use INTERNET through wifi routers.
if its something I have to do with the software or If its a hardware issue. please help. In need of urgent help.

Hey
I know there are threads related to this issue where an Hero refuses to connect to a network (the bars has a x over the top) however i've discovered something strange with my hero.
With the correct data/apn settings the phone is connecting to the network and will allow me to browse the internet, post tweets etc etc, it actually allows me to do anything thats not phone related. I cannot make calls or sent text messages.
This phone was unlocked and working ok until one day it just stopped working with my network.
The hero is unlocked - I have tested it with Tmobile and Three and they both work. Any kind of o2 sim refuses to work....
Am i being a complete n00b and missing something here....?
Any help appreciated - I;ve spent weeks on this issue and almost ready to give up

Anyone having a similar issue to the above, I've found something that appears to help fix this.
Get AnyCut from the market place, create a shortcut to Phone info.
Launch phone info, turn off radio.
Now im not exactly sure why this works but change 'set preferred network type' to WCDMA Only and then renable the radio after a few moments, the singal returns.
Weird and very annoying.
Damonsk,
Can you point me to a solution for the other problem where the hero refuses to connect to a network (the bars has a x over the top). I have searched every term I can think of with no luck yet. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
Hi:
I am using AmeriCanAndroid AOSPHD2GB232CM7RC1|bkup2sdext234[KERNEL:AmCanAndroid r2.21] and just about everything works perfectly.
The only issue I seem to have is in Android, I cannot use the mobile phone to get internet. The Phone sends and receives call perfectly, but if I want to use Market or the browser, I get the error:
A NETWORK ERROR HAS OCCURED. rETRY OR cANCEL AND RETURN TO PREVIOUS SCREEN.
I think I have tried every combination of settings in the wireless section. Is anyone else having this issue?
Thanks in advance for your help!

the only known temp(!) fix is to restart ur phone , given ur settings are correct it should work for a while .... have you been switching data on/off a few times? thats when it happens to me ....
be sure to report this problem to rom cooker so it gets fixed faster ...
When you say restart, do you mean restart android? I don't think I have ever been connected, unless there was WIFI in the area.
I use this ROM without these problems.
Try to check the apn and the DNS. Have a look at the faq.

And : there is a TMobile US and a standard version.
Do you use the right one?

i have the same problem but im using HD2Froyo_V2.1.7z.
everything works perfectly fine except for my data connection.
the only way i can use the internet is via wifi
No data connection
Yes I also has the same problem. Please let me know if you find a solution. Wifi works fine on my HD2 after flashing to Anroid 2.2 Bur no data connection through phone connection.
Thanks,
Mathew
No Data connection
I am have the same problem on my phone also. Have the T-Mobile phone using the ATT system. Have tried several different roms and still cannot get a Data connection. A lot of us need some help please. If anyone can shed light on this, please let us know.
call t-mobile
i called t-mobile and told them, i could only connect to the internet via wifi. i pay for data and i cant connect unless its through wifi. DO NOT mention that you flashed your phone, put a different ROM or Android.
After doing this my internet started to work again
hopes this helps
do you set your APN?
May I ask what you told TMO?
I read in an older post that you may have to switch from smartphone data plan to android data plan to connect to the internet, does anyone have any idea about this??
I also am curious if my build is synonymous with failed data connection... as well as (not related item) battery sucking....???or any other know issues as I seem to misplaced the page I downloaded it from...
Hi All,
I have been facing a strange issue with my Yureka.
Many of my friends and clients are complaining me that your phone is not reachable. To test this, I dialed my number from another phone and found they are right. Sometime it says, phone not reachable and sometime it doesn't say anything... just ... ping... ping.. ping and gone. Not even any message. I can see full network signals.
This has become now very annoying.
In last 1 hour, I have tried my phone 10 times and got connected only 2 times.. rest of the times either it doesn't say anything or says, not reachable.
Any ideas what could be wrong?
p.s. A little more info... while phone is not reachable, I can see full network and my 3G is also working fine.
which Rom installed on ur phone? & did u try calling to both sims?
Thanks for your reply ujilraj.
I am on stock CM12 ROM
I have no issues in outgoing calls. Issue is when someone is calling me.
They get phone unreachable message or nothing at all.
Today I tested myself and saw the same.
Earlier, I thought it might be some network related issues but it seems something else... may be hardware issue but not sure, therefore, asking for community help
Do u use dual sim? & did u set the network to automatically choose network? (settings > mobile networks> network operators> choose automatically). Also, Is ur preferred network type set on LTE? if yes, then change it to 3G or 2G...
hello everyone. i just recently purchased a vzw LG G2 and was wanting to use it with cricket. I know there are many threads and posts about this but after 2 weeks of searching and literally trying everything i figured it was time to throw in the towel and post my situation. So as stated above i bought a LG G2 VS980 about 2 weeks ago and i currently have cricket service unlimted text/talk 20GB data. ok so ill list my issues and what i have tried to correct them
1. From the start i put my sim card in do the whole activiation thing over wifi and when my phone comes on it displays and H which i know is 3G service. I live in chula vista CA. my husbands phone recieves 4G LTE so i know we are in a good area. Now this is where it gets weird, when im connected to wifi the H turns to 3G and even 4G LTE will pop up randomly. My data works fine just slow of course and i cansend texts and calls but no MMS unless i use a 3rd party text app like Chomp or Textra.
2. The infamous sim card icon with a "?" . Are there any solutions to fix this? i have called LG tech support, cricket tech, took it into a cricket store, called VZW almost everything besides taking to a cell phone shop.
OK so i have tried every APN there is out there i have tried the ATT,AIO wireless, cricket,vzw, literally all of them and no diffrence besides recieving a MMS rarely. And yes i restarted my device after every APN input. My phone is currently set on global, when i try to switch to CDMA/LTE after 20-30 seconds it comes up with no network and says i must go back to global. i switch it to GSM and i have the GSM only or UMT only (maybe)? or GSM/UTMS. Not sure which one i put exactly but i put the GSM/UMTS mode and comes up the RAT networks here im confused and really didnt mess with it to much. but it will sometimes say E.
I am also wondering can i system update? i attempt to but it says failed. i kinda know that you cant update a device on any service besides its original one.
Now what are the harms of rooting and flashing? does my phone lose value? like i said im a NOOB here and this phone is literally brand new. I appreciate ANY help i get. If you have any questions PLEASE contact me asap. There is probably some info i forgot the add but i will be waiting for any kind folks to help me out
Hello so as stated above for some reason i have an x below my signal bar but it still says lte but not connection, ive tried the following, remove sim and put it back in (both with the phone off and on), checked my apns which i never had to mess with before (which i didnt have this issue yesterday just saw it when i got to work which i usually have lte signal), turn on and off airplane mode, turn off and on mobile data, ive tried every fix i could think of so far with none of them working.. my cell service is been paid and i checked my straight talk account to make sure, but now comes the weird part when im connected to wifi and pull down the quick toggles it shows no x under the lte (see screenshot below) does anyone know how to fix this issue i rely on my lte data for directions and gps at work.
Phone info:
Android 8.1 beta opp5 rooted
Thanks to anyone that can help!
I am having this same issue as of this morning, and I am on the Straighttalk AT&T network. I wonder if they just updated their APN network and our APN settings need to be updated too? If so, I'm not sure what settings to use.. using the straight talk website and selecting "Android 4.0" (the newest version listed), it shows the settings I'm currently using. Anyone else having/resolved this issue?

Borrow a (different carrier) SIM from a friend to see if it is a network issue. If the LTE works on that SIM, go to ST and have them provision another SIM for you (free). If the LTE still doesn't work, back your phone up, wipe it, flash a full image.

I called STW tech support, and they told me I had the wrong APN... I updated my APN settings (but really it was nothing other than changing the ID, so I don't think it had any real effect) and still had no data. After checking downdetector.com, it appears there is a widescale data outage with straight talk (or more specifically, AT&T). One of the commenters stated the following:
"I can confirm the issue is DNS. If you have the ability to changes the DNS on your phone, you can restore service. If you have Android + Root, I used DNS Override successfully. Just set DNS Servers to Google's"
I just used DNS Override ($2 app) to set my DNS servers to Google's and that resolved my issue. Hope that helps. If you don't want to spend $2, there are some free apps that also will change the DNS servers for you, and there are other methods detailed here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ge...ide-how-to-change-dns-android-device-t3273769
Update: earlier that day ot seemed to resolve itself while i was driving at work amd got to my destination which was about an hour away and once i looked at my phone ot no longer had the x and had full service amd working lte so idk maybe it was cell tower maintenence but don't know for sure but the issue hasn't happened again tho but thanks for everyone for the help and suggestion!
