Puzzling data bug - Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Before I get flamed for not searching, I did, and I couldn't find one, so here goes.
My friend flashed CyanogenMod 12 on his Grand 2, and everything works perfectly well, except for one weird thing that I've never seen before, ever.
He uses 2 SIMS in his phone and while the data works on SIM 2, it doesn't on SIM 1. However, the SIM put in another phone works fine. Here's what I tried:
Switched SIM slots. Not worked.
Allow data roaming is enabled (he is indeed roaming).
Changed the ROM. Still nope.
So to summarize, the SIM can connect to internet on any other phone. My friend's phone can connect to internet using any other SIM. Only this particular SIM isn't working in this particular phone, except for some selected areas.
The only thing I haven't tried is going back to a Samsung ROM and flashing a different radio. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a Radio collection anywhere on this thread.
Could someone please be so kind as to point me to one?

Data not working on my T-mobile phone...

My phone was sitting on my desk for 3 hours and when I go to make a call, I get "Mobile Network not available." It worked fine before that and it just stopped. No new settings or anything like that. I get 2 or 3 bars but I don't get the 2g or 3g icon.
I'm on T-mobile currently running Enoms 2.11.3.
Things I've done:
Rebooted
Checked my APN
Checked my settings
Called T-mobile - useless
Checked my SIM card - maybe moved out a bit
Wiped and reinstalled with CM6 and Enom
Any suggestions?
I can't call or receive any data.
You can try flashing a different radio. What version are you using now?. Some people are having issues with 5.08
Tell me if it works. Good luck!

Thats exactly what happened. I checked my sim card on another phone and it showed unregistered sim. I called t-mobile and they replaced my sim for free!

Nexus 4 No service

Hi, My Nexus 4 got no service already 1 week++. I already tested with the other SIM card and I also do a research on Internet. On Internet, also got many people faced this problem. On Internet, many people said the nexus 4 cant accept the SIM card that is normal SIM card cut into micro SIM card, must use the original micro SIM card. I also try with the solution and I bought a SIM card that is original SIM card but the micro SIM card also doesn't work. All the SIM card are cant detected by he nexus 4, will the Sim Card tray broken. My phone are protected by cover since day one and never dropped into water. I wish LG can fix this problem and help me to fix this problem, this really cause me a lot of problem. Regards, Tang.

For what its worth
I cut my micro sim ( with a punch ) and it works fine
check in settings if you have a baseband installed sometimes it uninstalls by itself so that could be the problem

Settings > About phone > Baseband version
Does the phone ask you to insert SIM, or are you unable to connect to your cell provider?
If you are asked to insert SIM, you may have a bad SIM slot (broken pin contacts), or the SIM is placed incorrectly in the slot.
If you just have no service, check your phone number is displayed correctly in "About phone" and try to scan for available networks in:
Settings > Wireless & networks (more) > Mobile networks > Network operators
then use "Choose automatically"
Will the sim tray broken. My nexus 4 is running JB Stock and no root.

Had the exact same problem. Had no service at all (the network icon was just a triangle), no baseband, no IMEI. This is what I tried so far. My phone was stock 4.3 before my experiments :
1. Tried toggling *#*#4636#*#*, tried all the options there - no luck. Radio was "off", and no matter how many times I tried to click on Turn On Radio, it wouldnt start
2. Tried switching Sim cards, from same operator and from a different operator, no luck
3. Did a factory reset using the settings menu - no change
4. Finally, rooted the phone using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312 (First time ever, complete noob here). Everything went smoothly. Installed all the standard stuff from the 4.3 image.
Now, I could see the radio intermittently turn on and off - what a relief ! Atleast I knew there exists a chance this is not a hardware issue. I was getting service for 10 seconds, then it was going off for 10 seconds. This was happening continuously.
5. Tried *#*#4636#*#* and toggling all options again, (even GSM only, WDCMA only, preferred etc). I am in India and using Idea Cellular.
6. Searched like crazy on the xda forum for possible solutions - decided I'll try out a different radio version (I had 0.84 on mine) from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087227 - If you're a complete noob like me and dont know what the hell I'm talking about, trust me, flashing a radio is not that difficult. Just refer to my earlier thread link
7. Tried flashing each and every radio from 0.24 - 0.84. Mixed results. Except for 0.83 and 0.84 all other radios atleast maintain signal throughout. However it never turns "blue" - I cannot access the internet from my phone - I have a data plan, the apn information is correct and every other setting is proper (airplane mode off, data on etc). The other odd thing is I can call and receive calls, however there is absolutely no audio !
By elimination - I think there are only two options here - either this has something to do with the 4.3 update altogether, or this is a hardware glitch on the nexus 4 which is activated by some unique sequence of steps. Please note I did NOTHING "illegal" on the phone before this problem - no rooting no custom software, not even any apps which mainstream users would call "shady" - just the usual FB, Mail apps, my corporate mail account.
Any ideas here - I am going to go ahead and try flashing my phone back to stock 4.2.2 again, and hope that works !! Please help ! And apologies for the tremendously long post first up

NoobNexus

i recently buy a nexus 4 from ebay, only for nostalgia, so, when i receive the cellphone, i turn on without a sim inside, connected to wifi and the phone request for 3 upgrades of security, the nexus was in 5.1.1, the last than ir support, so i accepted the upgrades and the nighmare start, when i put my sim, the nexus not recognized it, i try everything, put in airplane mode and back and nothing, full reset from recovery twice and nothing.
So, i unlock the bootloader, install a recovery (clockwork) and root, after download from google the formware 4.4.4 for nexus 4, start the downgrade, when my nexus wake up in kitkat with my at&t (mexico) sim inside, the same problem, still not detecting simcard, i connect to wifi and the cellphone request for an upgrade, android 5.0.1 , click in next and the nexus start downloading and installing the upgrade, after 15 minutes, again with the sim indide, wake up with lollipop and the signal come back again ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
My nexus after 24hrs is still with signal, whitout problems, but still request for the other 3 upgrades ( android 5.1.1 and other two upgrades for security), but with previous experience.... i will keep in 5.0.1......

Verizon no LTE

Got my new Nexus 6P, went to the Verizon store and got a nano LTE SIM. Ever since it's been plugged in, all features except LTE seem to work fine. Spoke to Verizon tech support and they see that everything seems to be setup correctly and the device activated in their systems.
One thing I did notice is that in the list of APN's, I have 6 of them. The one that says VZWINTERNET seems to have the right setup for what seems to be working for rest of the folks here. However, when I switch to using it, the signal is still stuck on 3G. Also after a couple of minutes when I look back at the APN list, it seems to fall back to the one that says "internet" which definitely seems to have the EvDo-rev A settings.
Has anyone experienced similar issue? Any suggestions?
I'm going to try to go back to the store again to try a different SIM card later today.
Quick update. First I tried switching the radio band first to Band 6, that's when it went to 1x and stayed that way. Then I switched it to USA Band and within a minute was able to lock onto LTE! Hoping it stays this way!
Said too soon. Side effect, no cellular connection available. Data transfer is at LTE speeds but can't make calls now
Here is the APN I'm using. Truth is I never changed a thing when I put the sim in. Factory reset it and find it a few minutes to get cellular working before messing with it. Sometimes it takes a while especially with a new sim.
Thanks static. That's the first thing I tried. Just let it be on 3G. Since nothing changed till this morning I decided to tinker a bit. For me the second to last APN keeps getting selected no matter how many times I switch it to the one you have.
Do you have another phone you can put the sim in and see if it works?
Nothing that takes a nano. I was able to get LTE to work just with data but it's pointless with no calling available. So at the moment it's like one or the other which is strange.
Attaching 2 screenshots. One with band 6 where calling works but data is 1x. Another with USA band where LTE data works but no calling. Looking closely it's set to emergency calls only.
I'm not sure if you are rooted or stock. I had a similar issue when I had an HTC M8. When I placed my Verizon sim card it would only connect at 3G speeds and not LTE. I tried to factory reset the phone through the menu multiple times but still no change. What worked for me was to go into the bootloader and then recovery mode and "wipe data/factory reset" with the Verizon sim card in the slot. After that reboot the phone and hopefully it will connect at LTE speeds. Obviously the reset will erase your phone so backup any important documents. Just a thought.

Were you able to get another sim card from Verizon? Wondering if that is the issue. Otherwise I'm not sure what would help. Sorry.
They allowed you to activate it on the phone itself? I brought in a borrowed iPhone 6 plus (because I was coming from a Galaxy S5) and activated it on that, then put it into the Nexus 6P. As far as I know, changing the APN doesn't fix anything except some MMS not properly transferring and has nothing to do with getting LTE itself.
If you have another phone that can be used on Verizon, test it out on that. Or try a new sim card.
I had the same issue, I tried my Sim in a different phone and LTE worked so then I decided to try my project Fi Sim in the 6p and that one had LTE. Then I put my Verizon Sim back and LTE worked. Maybe it needed a different Sim card to reset it or something.

I had this same issue after letting my wife borrow my phone one day. Come to find out she did a *228 to update the roaming for some retarded reason and it pretty much fried my SIM. A quick visit to Verizon and a new SIM solved it for me. Hope this helps.
Is mobile data set to Global or LTE/CDMA?

Ah I see, I wasn't aware that they already added the IMEI's to their whitelist. But I got my phone on 10/29 and activated it then, so I had to use another phone.

Hmm, I didn't even try because I read the stories about it, I guess people were saying it because the previous gen 6 was not whitelisted until a few months after release. I also didn't want them looking too deep into my account because I had upgraded and stayed on UDP through the loophole, so I didn't want to get booted off that.
So I got a replacement Nexus 6P, plugged the same SIM card in and voila, LTE and voice works. Thanks all for your suggestions. Seems like it was a defective device.

No cellular signal, Radio won't turn on.. Please Help

I just bought a used 6P.
I am having an issue with not being able to pickup a cellular signal. When I place my SIM card in the phone and have voicemails it gives me the notification but I don't have any signal.
I took a recording of some troubleshooting.
And the sim card works fine in my 5x.

You might want to contact your cell phone company and let them know you switched phones. They might need to do something on their end so the sim will work with your new phone.

Thanks for the suggestion but when I swap my SIM into any other phone I have it works fine and picks up a signal without an issue.
Anyone else have any other suggestions that I can try. Got the phone for a good price and I was hoping to resolve this signal issue.
I even tried flashing custom Roms, and vendor and radio's nothing seems to work. I've ensured my APN settings are correct as well.
I hoping it's not hardware (antenna).
I don't know what else to try.

Model is: H1511
NA Version
I'm in the US
I have Straight Talk running off of AT&T towers.
No issues with my service or SIM at all. I have another 6p and a 5x that my sim works fine in.
I actually just looked up the warranty status on the 6p and found that it's in warranty until August! Looks like if it turns out to be a hardware issue I'll be sending it to Huawei

Just read the fine print and it states the warranty is only valid for the original purchaser with a proof of purchase
I was having a similar issue yesterday too. H1511 from VZW to Tmobile. No data but could receive calls. I ended up installing one of the custom roms (Pure Nexus or Resurrection Remix, both worked for me ) along with a vendor update (N4F26J_vendor.img) and am now getting signal/data.

Thanks I did flash a custom ROM and vendor update to test but it was a different vendor. I flashed Chroma ROM and I believe the vendor file was MCT40 (something close to that). I'm not home right now to check but maybe I'll try flashing one of the Roms that worked for you along with the same Vendor file.
I'll let you know how it goes.

Cool! Good luck to you. Not sure if you have tired yet, but you might just trying getting VZW to switch out your sim.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been using the Resurrection Remix rom for the past day or so.
Pros:It is nice, lots of customization. Cons: Some settings will not stick or have bugs. Voice unlock being the primary one. Another setting (vibration related?) was actually located in two places.
I used Pure Nexus for about a hour and thought, well I wanna see what Resurrection Remix has to offer and jumped ship.
Pure Nexus, as the name implies, seems a lot cleaner the boot animation is pretty close to the stock one. And everything I tired, just worked.
*YMWV as review period was short and this model is a second hand unit. Additionally, I am not an expert!

Thanks but I don't have Verizon. I use straight talk with an AT&T sim.
The newer radio/vendor images didn't work for me, flashed a new ROM as well. Still no go. The menu looks different but it still won't give me a signal or turn the cellular radio on.
It recognizes my SIM and tells me I have voicemails but still can't make or receive calls, no mobile data, etc... Popped the sim back in my 5x and it works fine.
Not sure what to do at this point.
Might just set the phone back up to stock and sell on eBay as is. I wish I could've gotten it to work though.

All good.
It's not the SIM, SIM works fine in any other phone. I have 4 other phones I've tested it in.
If I was to try and switch it out I would have to buy a new SIM from Straight Talk.

NO 4G on any sim

Evening all.
I have a Nexus 6P which i used on o2 4G for 2 yrs straight without any issues, when i got my new Pixel 2 i put it away for future use.
I have now come to use the phone as a works phone also on a o2 sim 4G sim but cannot get any 4G on the phone, yet i can make and receive phone calls just fine.
I have tried the works sim in my Pixel 2 which works fine and also tried my personal sim in the Nexus 6P which doesn't work.
I have tried various different APN settings plus as it would be a company sim i have tried various ip addresses as well.
Last night i rooted the phone and loaded TWRP recovery done a backup and loaded resurrection rom but this has not worked either.
Has anyone come across this issue before? if so have you managed to resolve it?
Also
I read somewhere about something to do with baseband modem but cannot find it anymore is this something i should be looking into?
I would appreciate any help there is.
Thank you.
