I have used my x1 for four months in America with T-mobile. The phone had no problem until yesterday. However, yesterday, the phone began to lose signal and automatically rebooted several times. Then, finally, from the afternoon, the phone totally lost the signal, and kept looking the signal.
I took out my sim card and plugged into another cell phone and it worked. So, I thought it was the problem of the rom. (I was using Touch-IT 4.5) I downloaded the new version of the rom, Touch-IT 5.6, then flashed it. However, it did not solve the problem. So, I flashed with the original SE rom. However, the phone didn't work either.
I contacted T-mobile, and there was not problem on the signal on my region. I thought it might the problem of data plan since I do not use data plan. So I used Advanced config and killed every option for data plan. However, it still does not work. I tried to do settings manually. changing band, carrier, and every possible options, but it does not work.
Interestingly, the phone worked two times today for a short amount of the time. However, after the reset, it is gone. Other than phone function, I do not see any problem.
Even now the phone keeps searching the signal. What can I do? I read another article that is similar to my case, and they say even after changing the sim card, it does not work.
Anyone has the same issue? What can I do? My phone is dead for two days, and it messes up so many things. Please somebody help me.
Have you tried redoing the connection setup?
try clicking on signal antenna then enter settings click on network and manual select your network, will take a few mins to find networks if it connects manualy just select auto again and hopefully it will fix it., worked with mine.
Thank you guys
Thank you guys. Yes, I have tried both of them, but it still does not work.
In Connection setup, I chose United States and T-mobile, and the screen to choose between T-mobile and At&t. I select T-mobile, and click Register. Then, it goes to the searching mode again, and nothing happens.
I assume that somehow, the phone finds networks, since it does show the options to choose (T-mobile, At&t). But something is not right, and it messes the set up. I do not know why.
Hello,
I've had this issue across more than 1 device and more than 1 carrier.
Here's what happens:
I enable WiFi, and for a while everything works as expected. I can send and receive MMS messages. I can disable WiFi and go back to my 4G connection.
The problem is, after an unknown amount of time, the phone drops the 4G connection in the background. I only know when I can't receive/send MMS messages anymore. At that point, if I disable WiFI there's no 4G data connection, and I have to turn Airplane mode off and turn it back on.
This is really annoying. It happened to me using Sprint and a Galaxy S4 (both stock and custom ROMs) and it's happening to me with a Galaxy S5 from MetroPCS. (I've used the stock Metro ROMs, Stock T-mobile ROMs, and Custom T-mobile ROMs).
Right now I'm using a Stock T-mobile ROM with the latest firmware, carrier is MetroPCS.
What can I do so this doesn't happen? It's really frustrating.
Thank you for your time.
Disabled "Smart Network Switch" in WiFi Settings?

Disabled "Smart Network Switch" in WiFi Settings?

Hello.
That's already disabled.
Should I enable it?
I tried with "smart network switch" enabled and disabled and problem still happened.
My S5 G900F Android 5.00 (Smart Network Switch disabled, Power Save disabled) on EE UK has had this problem for 9 months after phone upgraded itself to Lollipop (EE win the accolade to being the SLOWEST ON THE PLANET to provide Android updates.....). Since Jan 3, my wife's G901, a couple of weeks after it upgraded from 5.0 to 5.02, has developed the same problem. Neither phone has ever been rooted or other.
I have fruitlessly searched everywhere for a solution without success. EE Customer Services Tier 2 & Samsung's own service centre have failed to fix it. EE & Samsung blame each other for 5.1 or 5.1.1 not being available for download. Neither is prepared to resolve the issue despite hours on the phone. Have tried Safe Mode, Factory Reset, clearing everything, reloading APNs & Samsung even reloaded Android. All a waste of time: Many many days of it!
After approx half an hour connected to Wi-Fi, only way to get the mobile data to connect, is either reboot, enter & exit Air-plane mode or flip the 4G > 3G > 4G connection under More Networks. Have tested the fault in different cell areas countries and continents; fault is same everywhere.
It seems there are quite a few sufferers of this problem.
Samsung S5 keeps losing data connection
I have the same problem. My new Samsung phone loses the data connection (even though data is turned on) and I can only re-connect by restarting the phone. The first EE shop I took it to couldn't help at all. The second gave me a new SIM - that didn't work. Then I tried online support and after 3.5 hours of my life, in which I was passed on from one person to another, they completed a factory re-set - which didn't work (and additionally lost all the personalisation of my screen and some of my contacts). So I now have a not-very-smart phone which I have to re-start every time I want to use data. This is a business contract and the phone is less than two months old, but I'm not getting any effective support from EE. Android version is 5.0.2
me too, since last update. and app 'phono' shows "mobile data off" not got a time on it, but when i leave wifi coverage, it wont reconnect to cell data 2g/3g/4g. flightmode toggle to restore.
Abandon hope if you have this intermittent mobile data problem!
...at least until there is a software update, though I have no idea if that will help.
I have now tried a new sim card, a factory reset, and a replacement phone - which was provided only because I'm a business customer and I found a sympathetic member of staff. *By the way, I was told that if you are personal customer they won't consider replacing your phone if it is more than a month old - even if you started complaining about the phone as soon as you got it, the chances are a month will have elapsed by the time they put you through the hoops of a new sim, reset etc - and then it is too late to insist on a replacement phone.
In any case the replacement phone didn't resolve the issue so I have reached* a dead end. My phone fails to connect to data after having been connected to wifi - you have to do it manually each time you move away from a wifi connnection. At first I was doing it by restarting the phone, but am now following the advice of someone else who has the same problem and am going into flight mode and out again. *
This is not satisfactory, and it seems from reading forums that EE are to blame for the problem rather than Samsung, but I'm not 100% sure about that.*
Possible solution that works, for me, at the moment!
Having suffered this issue of my S5 (SM-G901F) not connecting to mobile data after being on Wi-Fi for a while unless switching airplane mode on/off for a few weeks; although it has probably been happening since the update I received late December; I have tried all of the turn this switch off, factory resets (x2), etc, etc, etc. and Googled the issue without success.
I have found this thread interesting, and I even tried calling EE support only to be told "you have tried everything that we would tell you to do" and "it wouldn't be a sim card, or handset issue, sounds like software". The reply was basically that like-it or lump it until the 5.1 update is released "by Samsung not EE because EE do not release Android updates". [Perhaps EE don't release the updates, but the stock rom is tested by them and their bloatware added before they eventually release it!!!]
Following my last reset I tried selectively re-installing the apps I used incase that was causing the issue. No Luck!
One last thing I tried was to look at every system 'thing' that I could find which used/switched any part of the mobile/mobile data/wifi - in addition to the settings I had already tried (all of which were mentioned in this thread previously). One thing I could not find not mentioned here, or anywhere, was the VoWi-Fi call on/off which I had always set to on as I do not live in a great reception area. Calling over Wi-Fi is great when you don't have a strong mobile signal.
Having 'played' with this setting for the last 24 hours I have found that the VoWi-Fi on/off appears to be a possible cure - for me anyway.:fingers-crossed:
When VoWi-Fi was set to off and leaving the phone connected to Wi-Fi overnight, the S5 immediately switched to mobile data this morning when I turned the Wi-Fi off . It continued to switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data all morning whilst out and about in and out of Wi-Fi connections - Woop Woop!!!
I then tried switching VoWi-Fi on (with Wi-Fi on and at home), leaving the phone for a number of hours, only to find that when I turned Wi-Fi off the phone refused to connect to mobile data even with a 'decent' mobile signal. The only way to get it to connect was to go back to switching Airplane mode on/off.
Switched VoWi-Fi off again, left Wi-Fi connected, left the phone for a couple of hours, etc. and hey-presto immediately switched to mobile data when I turned the Wi-Fi off. [Dances around the room because he's got the S5 automatically switching to mobile data again. Even though I'm at home with a great fibre internet and strong Wi-Fi connection!!!]
I do not know if this could be a solution for the others who are suffering from this issue, but it appears to be a solution for me at the moment. I thought I would share as your previous posts have helped me and you all seem to be pulling your hair out; like I have been; trying to find a solution.
Try it, it may work, but don't shoot me if it doesn't!
It's encouraging to know that I'm not crazy. I've had this issue across two devices and carries.
John,
Thank for your suggestion about WiFi calling. Unfortunately, I always have it off! I never used it, so maybe I should try turning it on? We'll see lol.
At this point, I think this is going to be my last Galaxy line phone.
Is it wi-fi calling that's causing the problem?
I have wondered if there is a link with wi-fi calling, but haven't tested it properly. I signed up with ee and bought the Galaxy phone specifically so that I could use wifi calling, as the town where I live (in the Scottish Borders) doesn't get a mobile signal strong to work reliably indoors from any of the networks. I'll try turning off wi-fi calling to see if that sorts the data thing (though I see that for one person above it did not). That would mean I wouldn't get calls or texts when I'm at home so it would not be a permanent solution for me. But in fact the wi-fi calling is not reliable anyway....

Brian,
You never know the way things are going with this issue; given that nobody seems to be able to pinpoint the fault; turning it on may just sort it!!!
still no change and its a pita.....
I have been trying to get wifi calling with AT&T is working on my International S7 edge. I have made headway.
1. First of all I told AT&T I had their branded S7 edge and gave them an IMEI that will show up that phone. So I can activate my phone.
2. I have narrowed down the required apks to the following, but some are obviously for the Wifi Calling, and other's I am not sure. If people know what some of these apks do, please let me know.
3. I have used the Note 7 Port and flashed TTKG CSC selection and chosen the ATT CSC, we are still working on getting it working in the S7 and Edge CSC.
4. The following APK's I feel are related to Wifi Calling are.... If you can help me eliminate some that aren't. They are deodexed, and I have uploaded them, you will need to change the permissions to match the ones in the system folder.

Did you ever get this resolved? So far I can not for the life of me, get WiFi Calling working on my S7 Edge exynos. Basically throws an error stating the activation failed, and never brings up the screen to enter in my emergency contact address like AT&T is supossed to re-direct you to.
The activation fails because AT&T doesn't have an AT&T wifi capable phone on your account which then allows you to activate the wifi. I have two imei's that are linked to AT&T s6 and s7. I can give you the imei. Go to att tech support give them the imei and tell them to update your account to be able to get visual voice mail and wifi calling. After you do this, they will alow you to activate it. However I gave up after a while. If you flash the custom csc, you must do it before your phone boots up after a factory reset and flash a custom rom. I am waiting as I am on Nougat now, so until ATT updates it's apps again.

Thanks, although I'm a bit confused on the steps your outlining here. I assume you're stating that I'll need to somehow modify a ROM (in this case SAC's N7 ROM for S7 Edge Exynos), and inject an IMEI? I'm not entirely sure how to do that to change the IMEI (this would be my first time attempting to do that). Then I would reflash that image, and then re flash the CSC update to AT&T? Maybe I'm not understanding, but my iPhone 6 is on my account and fully capable of wifi calling. In fact we have 2 iPhone 6s on the account. What exactly did you give up on?
Hate to sound like a newb here (although in a way... I am), but can you step me through the process so I can follow your line of thought? Appreciate the help!
So first of all an Android WiFi Calling and IPhone Android WiFi calling are different you will need to tell at&t you have an AT&T branded Android phone that has WiFi calling. This will lead at&t to add the ability to add wifi calling on your account.
Have you rooted your phone and installed a custom rom? If so then you would flash ttkg84's csc package and choose att. Which will flash most if not all the files. I got all the way to confirm my address and enable wifi calling, but it never worked.
Do not insert another phones imei into your phone, you will brick it and will have a expensive paper weight.
I have given up for now and am waiting for a full release of Nougat.
PM my I can give you am imei to give AT&T to enable video calling, visual voice mail and give the ability to activate WiFi Calling, but it's not likely to work. Some things are still missing.
You may never get wifi calling working because at&t uses a slightly different method then everyone else. I think they will standardize with Nougat.

That's what I thought.... So what about the King of Nougat ROM that's lingering out there currently? I realize Nougat is still beta, but have you tried the beta?
I haven't tried King of Nougat. I am currently using Nougat? Are you on telegram?

So... Interestingly enough. I just got WiFi Calling to work this morning...
Basically, I did the following steps:
1. No SIM Inserted into Galaxy S7 Exynos - SD Card only
2. Reboot to Recovery
3. Wipe
4. Download and Install SAC23's Full n7 ROM located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/rom-n7-rom-port-romcontrol-t3430358 - I did the V8 Debloated version
5. When prompted - Wipe Dalik
6. Insert SIM Card from AT&T iPhone (ensured WiFi Calling was turned OFF on the iPhone prior to removing from iPhone)
7. Reboot first time into N7 ROM
8. Go through the setup and connect to a WiFi location that you know WiFi calling works at.
9. Download a browser (Chrome or whatever) at a minimum
10. Eat a Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato Sandwich :good:
11. Reboot to Recovery
12. Flash CSC for the N7 located here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-7/development/utility-flashable-csc-selection-v1-0-t3450911 - Grab the CSC snapdragon the Exynos zip
13. Reboot
14. Status bar will indicate VoLTE enabled up at top eventually.
15. Try going to the pull down from the top, and clicking WiFi Calling option a couple times.... no dice.
16. Try going to the phone app --> Click Settings --> Note WiFi Calling is off --> Try clicking it on a few times.... you'll get an adroid app stopped working.
17. After sitting on this sceen for a few minutes, note the VoLTE dissapears, and the icons on the phone app screen (The Call Start Button and the Call End button) switch to WiFi magically.... Try making a call with 0 zero cell reception, and indeed, the call is being made through WiFI on AT&T's network.
Now.... I have absolutely zero idea what's going on with the VoLTE icon disappearing.... and the WiFI calling suddenly working. If you reboot the phone, the same thing occurs. It starts in VoLTE.... and then eventually disappears, and eventually after a couple of minutes being connected to a WIFI connection, switches auto-magically to WifFi calling.
I'll take some screenshots.

Followed the method above using Superman 1.16 and CSC selector 1.86.
Haven't been able to test wifi calling since I haven't found an area with wifi and no cell reception, but so far everything looks like it's working.
Important to note that the AT&T account probably does need to be provisioned for a G935A rather than G935F, which is done by reporting a G935A IMEI to AT&T (and not changing it on the device itself) as mentioned previously.

Hmmm, gotcha.... but if you report a G935A they typically want you to power off and power on the phone to check the provisioning while on the phone with them. And what happens if someone calls in and then tries to re-provision the same IMEI on another account? What happens to my SIM in my G935FD? Thanks!

Far as I can tell they don't check IMEIs against different accounts.
I can't say for sure, but I haven't had an issue as my phone has a different IMEI (or IMEIs--G935FD) than the one listed on my account (which reads as a G935A).
In short, asking AT&T to change the IMEI on the account hasn't affected or changed the IMEIs on my phone, or caused any problems.
As far as provisioning, I told them I was on the phone, so they called me back a few minutes later and didn't report any issues or discrepancies to me.
It'd be just as easy to tell the rep the phone isn't available though, so just ask them to change the IMEI and you can call them back later if there are issues if that's a concern.
Looks like great news. I was happy I was able to activate my 935F via AT&T (I gave them the actual IMEI and they activated it). I'm on Superman ROM and flashed ATT CSC. I get visual voicemail and the WiFi calling button, but it doesn't actually work. I'll see if I can get a valid 935A IMEI and ask them to activate again. Hopefully that will do the trick. I get a horrible signal at home, and the 4G/LTE icon is constantly flickering on and off... AT&T Video call option shows up in settings, but won't turn on... no wifi calling setting in the settings menu, just the quick settings button.
Any guidance appreciated!

I have been going through a weird issue on Total Wireless. When I use Android 6.0.1 and below, I have no issues with my service at all, everything works as it should. The issue comes into play when I use any Android 7.0 ROM, be it official or custom. Outgoing calls/4G data are fine, but I cannot receive any phone calls or send/receive texts. The only way for me to be able to receive calls and send/receive texts is to dial out once. After this, everything works as it should, that is until I reboot. Then I it goes back to the partial working state until I dial out again.
The issue persists whether I am using CDMA/LTE or Global Network modes. I have tried every single possible combination of starting with a fully working 6.0.1 firmware and upgrading through Smartswitch, with and without a full Wipe performed afterwards, doing a full 7.0 firmware flash. The issue is always present, and I am not sure if TW has issues with Android 7.0 or if there is a problem with my account. Their CS is absolutely useless in helping me with the issue, and our chats always end with if I can make a phone call, then the issue is resolved. They don't understand that the issue is still present, but it only crops up after a reboot of my device.
I have tried 3 different SIM cards and they have deleted and re-added/reprovisioned my device/number to their system but nothing seems to help this issue. APN is the usual TRACFONE.VZWENTP. It's really weird that it happens on two separate devices that I activate with my mobile number.
My only thought as to what it could be is maybe some weird provisioning error with the number coming from Verizon. Total Wireless doesn't have any type of VOLTE capabilities on their network, yet I was able to use a rooted Note 4 device and activate Advanced Calling/HD Voice and I believe Wifi calling as well and use it fine on their service. One oddity I noticed is that when the phone is in the initial 'Searching for Service' state on a fresh boot when I dial out while connected to Wifi, sometimes I will see Mobile Network Type change to IWLAN, whereas it usually says LTE. After dialing everything works correctly.
Any ideas on further troubleshooting steps I can take? If nothing can be done, maybe there is some way I can have a boot up script that makes a ghost phone call to any random number and immediately disconnects so I don't have to remember to dial out whenever I reboot my device?
Thanks
I don't have a solution yet, but you're not alone. I have a stock G935V (running Nougat) with Tracfone service running over Verizon's network. Whenever I start up the phone, the phone will indefinitely remain in a "Searching for Service" status until I initiate one phone call. Then the network instantly switches to "Verizon Wireless" and everything works correctly for as long as the phone remains on.
A long phone call with Tracfone and Verizon yielded no solution: They indicated everything is configured correctly in my account. Various replacement SIM cards didn't change anything either.
This issue happens with both stock Samsung S6 phones and the Samsung S7 phone in my household. All are running Nougat.
Any update here? My girlfriend's phone has the same issue since moving from Verizon to StraightTalk.

Tracfone tried, half-heartedly, to solve the problem by sending me 3 different sim cards. The problem never went away. I just got in the habit of initiating a call to voicemail whenever I restarted my phone.
The problem went away when I upgraded my S7 Edge to Android v8 Oreo.
I have flashed the Nougat "U" firmware on my Verizon S7 Edge. I had VoLTE, hotspot, HD voice when calling someone on Verizon (but the HD symbol doesn't show on my dialer, only on theirs).
Only issue was that. when I introduced the TW SIM, the APN was auto set for Tracfone (and it wasn't working), so I had to manually change it to the TotalWireless one.
Since then I had received the Oreo upgrade and the following security update... and it's still OK.
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.

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 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!
