Hello everyone: I hope I'm not breaking any rules by posting this, but I'm having annoying problems with my handset since I updated the OS to Lollipop N900AUCUEOC1. My handset is SIM unlocked and use it here in my country Peru, South America. The problem is as follows, it is most of the time with only 3 signal bars of LTE, the handset must outside to get full bars, but the real problem is that sometimes it doesn't get any connection at all (pic attached), most of the time happens right after I disconnect from my house's WIFI, or sometimes, it only connects to H+(4G), I have to dial *#2263# and change it to any option and then, set it back to LTE/GSM to gain access to the LTE Signal, and I do this everytime I lose LTE signal, I must tell the phone to use LTE instead H+ o get the signal back. I think there is a set of numbers somewhere that I can manipulate and tell the phone that LTE signal is available always and stop losing signal. I little story to understand my predicament, when I bought it it I had the same problems, and I took it to a guy who did something to the handset and worked perfectly ever since, he told me he "recalibrated" the signal settings. But after upgrating it to Lollipop, the problems came back. And the guy is no longer where I remember I found him.
Thank you in advance for your help, I really appreciate it.:fingers-crossed:
If you have questions or need more info, I'll be happy to provide it.
Hello,
Try to enter in Settings -> Mobile Networks -> and choose the Prefered Network to the mode you want!
**You're not breaking any rules, you are just asking for help! XDA is exactly for that!**
(I'm using an unofficial and modified CM13 by TEMASEK, so this steps is in AOSP settings app, but I think that is almost the same thing in TouchWiz)
Try this and tell if it works! ^.^
Sorry about my english, I'm brazilian...
Hey, thanks for your reply, but I cannot do what you told me because I don't have that option, I'm running stock ROM and it is not rooted. I canot change the ROM to any other ca use of my locked bootloader . Don't worry, I'm peruvian, English is not my native tongue.
Images of my problem inside this word
Good morning, here are pictures what I have to go through to get the internet connection back on my handset. But today was the worst day of this issue, even this procedure did not work and I had to restart the handset in order to have internet connection.
Please, I need help!!!
Thank you in advance for your help.!!!
Check your modem/ baseband is the correct one for your country .

Hello!
I spent last week in France and I had a lot of problems with GSM signal. Phone sometimes can't connect to operater. When I looked in settings menu I saw only ''searching'' and nothing happend. Then I just click on ''Find network'' and after some second everything was OK.
For me is this a big problem because I must be reachable all the time.
What could be wrong and how could I solve the problem?
Bye,
Borut
I'm on radio 1.38.00.11, and I have the same problem too... sometimes it does not even get any signal after trying to "find network". When I disable the phone and enable it again (flight mode and back) it will get full signal, I'm at the same spot for the whole process so its not the reception of the location.
Any idea?
I sent also an E-mail to HTC support team and still waiting an answer.
I got this answer:
Good Afternoon,
?
Unfortunately this can happen sometimes when roaming, especially if the SIM from your network does not have the preferred roaming partners programmed into it.
?
What tends to happen is that as the phone is switched on in the new country, it will automatically search for all networks in range and then systematically attempt to register and connect with all of them one by one.? Sometimes, depending on the speed with which the networks respond to the handset's requests to register, this can take a few minutes, especially if there are many networks in range.? It can also happen as the signal from one network disappears and the phone must begin this process again.
?
One thing I would suggest would be to contact your Operator and ask them for the name of the preferred roaming partner of the country you are travelling to and upon arrival in the country, you can manually select the network to connect to.? this should then tell the phone to keep with that network until it loses signal, but it should automatically return when the signal is found again.
?

Hi All,
Done a quick search on this and can't find anything relevent, but i apologise if a thread already exists.
Really a question for those in the UK on the t-mobile network. Have any of you attempted to sign up for the orange 2g roaming service yet? I signed up, recieved the confirmation text, replied to it, and received the final confirmation. However, I'm not sure it's working. The signal seems no stronger, and i still drop in my house.
Obviously i'm posting this in the android section because i'm running android myself and am wondering whether anyone in the same boat has managed to get roaming to work. Should the fact that we're on a non-official OS running off the sd card make a difference?
Oh and for completeness, i'm running shubcraft 1.5 rmnet.
Cheers fellas!
I'm quite happily flip flopping between Orange while at work and T-Mobile for everything else...
works like a charm for me though you do have to stick the phone into Airplane mode after selecting the different provider for the data to work ...

Many thanks for the reply Jezwick. So, just for clarity, you're manually selecting each provider as and when required? Because i can do that, i think. When i select orange though, whilst it registers with the network fine, i get a little "R" above the signal bar (any ideas what that means?) And the speed appears to be limited to Edge. Orange have a very strong signal round here, so i figure i should be getting GPRS really.
It's the auto-switching i'm not totally sure is working really. Is there any explicit indicator that it's flipping on it's own? Or do you just observe a generally better 2g signal, rather than say, a very weak 3g one? Round the house, my phone is still trying to make do with 1 or zero bars of 3g. I would have hoped it would flip over to orange more or less all the time under those circumstances. Nothing to stop me manually selecting it i guess though...

The R is indeed for roaming that's the way it works if your not on your 'own' network.. The 'flipped' service will currently only work at GRPS speeds at the moment but should be 3G by the new year
I have noticed mine flipping automatically but only once or twice in the last few weeks but only when I get NO signal from the current service.

Understood - thanks for the info Just done some reading and apparently EDGE is faster than basic GPRS. For some reason, i'd always assumed the reverse. Looks like the best option is just to have it always on orange whilst at home and use wifi for data (which i do anyway to compensate for the poor signal). Cheers!
Please help:
I'm on CM9 19 6 nightly. Using Semaphore kernel without any modifications to the scripts.
The problem: My signal keeps on going out at regular intervals.
I've used XXJVU, DDJV5, XXJVT, KF1(Nexus modem for ICS) and various more. I stay on the modems for a week and then change to another one. The latest one is DDJV5 which I have been using since the past 2 weeks.
Tried all of the modems I could lay my hands on. Nothing works.
But the moment I come to work, the signal keeps fluctuating over the day. Sometimes it would be out for 10-15 minutes. When it's back, it would get back to giving -65 .. -71 dBm. It would stay like that for a few minutes and then it would be gone again for another 10-15 minutes or so.
It has turned into an OCD where I keep checking my signal.
This does not happen when I'm back home and then I'm back to getting good signal.
Yes, this looks to you like a locational issue. I thought so too. BUT, how did I get so good signal till a week back at work?
Question: What could have made this mess to my signal reception? How can I solve this?
No, all my syncs are OFF. I keep my 3G turned off and only use it once an hour or so for a few minutes. I don't use any signal consuming apps.
Also, sometimes the 3G would work even without the signal.
Another thing, sometimes there's a (x) sign at the signal bar thing and sometimes there is no (x) without bars.
As a cure for the OCD, I've taken an off from work today just to get some rest from checking my signal every now and then. And maybe find a solution.
I'm on Vodafone India.
Indians, I am on Vodafone India in Pune, Hinjewadi Information Technology park. Maybe Pune guys can help me out too?
maybe the phone changes the network mode.. 2g 3g or i dont know , try to put in in 2g only mode , or gsm only mode.
When the signal bar shows with a "x" it means the network is not available...go to settings and change the Network mode to "GSM Only". It will solve the fluctuating issue but network speed will be limited to 2G only.

Thanks, let me try it out.
Where is the network changing option to GSM only in ICS?
Okay, I guess it's the 2G mode.

Is going to 2G mode my ONLY option?
How can I fix this and get back to using 3G?
Update:
Changing to 2G mode fixed the problem. BUT...
I have a few questions now:
I want to use 3G but at the same time I don't want the signal to fluctuate between 2G and 3G—want to get constant 3G connectivity without signal fluctuations. Is there any way I can fix that?
I remember reading somewhere that going to recovery and changing permission helps this.
Anyone knows how to change the permissions so the signal fluctuations stop?
I have done a lot of reading on XDA but I haven't noticed an issue like this.
CM9 guys, anything please...

I have the same issue mate...using 2G is the only option to get signal without any problem.
The problem doesnot lies on your phone but the problem is with the operator. The area where you live hardly 3G signal reaches there (same problem with me).
You got two options to fix this issue:
1. Change your Network Operator
Or
2. Settle to another location where 3G signal is fully available
Sent from my GT-i9100 equipped with Grenade Launcher and Remote Explosives
Both the options look impossible for me at the moment.
I will start living with the hope that the operator brings us some decent 3G signal here.
Thanks a lot anyways. It was helpful. Hope others facing the issue can learn from this thread. :good:

Complain to your provider, very loud!
:gooditto the same problem occured to me on Vodafone (Chennai) tried all modems listed above nothing worked ...Used to lose signals all the time with 2g data on especially at my workplace intermittently for 3-4 months ever since I upgraded to ICS..Sometimes used to lose signal even if data was off..multiple reboots/restarts gave no solution ..issue persisted across all the 15+ roms i might have flashed over the past 6 months..
Finally fed up I ported the number to AIrtel..everything works like a charm on JV9 I must say now..can vouch it's a network issue at the location
I am getting constant 5 bars on the 2G network. 3G gives me 2 bars at max.
Asked Vodafone about the future of 3G in my location and they said "We are spreading, sir. We will keep you informed".
I've had this problem too when the phone was constantly switching between 2G and 3G/3.5G. Try adding "Toggle 2G/3G" to notification drawer, set the "Network modes" for it to 2G/3G Only or 2G/3G Only/3G+2G. Switching between modes can take 10-20 seconds, but you should be able to test if you can get good enough 3G only connectivity (in case it is just a network switching problem like for me).
If you want 3G only, Dial *#*#4636#*#* - Phone information - WCDMA only.
Hi everybody, I've been using CM10.1 build of July 3rd since it came out, with overall good satisfaction.
One major issue bothers me and I would like to get rid of it: when I enter a bad 3G reception area, my Defy+ disconnects from the 3g network, and it stays disconnected even if I move back to a good reception site, because it prompts for the SIM PIN and obviously I'm not watching the screen every second.
I dont think this is normal. It should retain the PIN entered at power-on, and restore 3G connectivity as network becomes available again.
I'm on italian TRE network operator, which has commercial agreements with competitors in order to fall back to nationwide roaming in areas where it is not present. Also, it only operates 3G frequencies, while when in roaming the phone should lock into 3G and 2G as well. Maybe this piece of information can help you in helping me.
I'm on mixed GSM/WCDA mixed mode (WCDMA preferred).
I tried to search in other thread but couldn't narrow down an exact asnwer, most of the topics I read dealt with RIL BUG (?).
Thanks

What build are you on?
Hi, My name is javier, I have bought one nexus 4 8Gb orange phone, but it is sim-unlocked so I can use my MVNO ( mobile virtual operator network) But I am unable to use 3G or WCDMA band in spain.
I Know here are some problems about MVNO and 4.3 and 4.4 and 4.4.2 Android versions, but my problem is not this one. On a Vodafone SIM Card, I am unable to get internet also on this unit. The rest of the phone works flawessly, but 3G does not. I am starting to think that GSM chip is broken. But Hey 2G Networks works well no signal lost, perfectly clear voice on dialing, and constant 20kb internet data speed. No matter is an MVNO or a real operator like Vodafone.
Searching the net, i came over this:
Nexus 4 Suffering from 3G and 4.· Upgrade
And for all of you that are not going to take a deep read, let me tell, that they say there is an error on 4.3 and newer Android framework and Radio Baseband version. So people get unconsistent 3G connection. Well mine is really consistent. No conection at all never. So I think this is not my problem, although I have tried a bunch of roms even all google ones, all basebands and a couple of sims from diferent company.
Anyway, a quick fix is quoted here: Quick 3G Fix But I do not understand what is this or what I am supposed to do with that. Can someone help me with this?
And, after that, I start to look at something more, like Sim Unlocking is snot well done and 3g Band is still locked. Havent tried it with Orange sim as I do not have any. Is there any secret menu where network locks are shown?
And moreover, How can I trace what is happening to my chip? If someone has made hybrid basebands to unlock 4G, there has to be a way to track what is happening to radio basebands while they are working...and perhaps, I can gather some good info to work with...
One more thing on *#*#4636#*#* menu, I can force WCDMA or GSM or the rest options, If I use Force WCDMA, I get signal lost for ever, If only GSM or WCDMA Preferred, it has signal but only gprs internet conection. This is with ONO (MVNO). But with Vodafone, I get HSPA Conection but no internet at all.
Really annoyed with this, hope someone is able to help me with this.
Thanks to all in advance.
Nobody? well i will try to find out myself.
Anyway I have started to know something about android tracking with logcat, and would like to know if there is any way to check all the traces of the modem to check if the chip is faulty or is a driver issue and i have to learn to modify it myself. Thanks.
