Hi all,
I have bought a Redmi 3s Prime last week. One problem I am facing is that if you turn on data services, if it is idling, speed drops to E and even G. The only way to get it back is to manually change network preference type from settings. What could be the problem? Is it a hardware issue?
Android version 6.0.1
MIUI version 8.2.5.0 (MALMIDL)
Please help.

This is a known issue.
Is you have root, try to install Networl Signal Guru, then disable Edge (2g) frequencies.
Some people solve it using a second sim...
Second SIM even if dummy one will solve this problem, I'm using this option and managing my 32GB wisely as you will lose your sdcard slot. Nothing terrible for me as I need it the 2nd SIM anyways.
slds,
Your problem is well known, but still no solution from xiaomi.
Best i can suggest is that u check which frequencies your carrier uses.
If u got root, install Network Signal Guru.
Try disabling one of used WCDMA frequencies and then force 3G. if it doesnt work, try to disable the other frequencies
IT WORKED FOR ME D

Switch to global dev rom you will get the latest one. Miui 9 v 7.9.8
Better you make clean install with MiFlashTool via EDL.
Search fastboot rom here.

Help me Sir
Moto g5 plus 64g (single SIM),unlocked bootloader, root...4g works fine on stock ROM rooted w/Xposed
. ..and that's great but Ive flashed custom ROMs
Resurrection
...and Halogen
... and Desolation
... and they are very nice ROM s but I only get 3g (no LTE) and the only info I find on this is a quick-fix w/jio SIM using a DUAL SIM. .... Am I the only unlucky human w/a single SIM 3g problem?
I was so excited about this phone, thought I did all of my research , bought TWO 64g g5 plus phones(not 32g no way because I wanted to BEST lol but its single sim, stupid me).
...should I just give up on custom ROMs ? ...or is there something can be done?
Ive being at this for 2 weeks now...Any/all info very appreciated.
I would've posted in other forum but wouldn't let me due to lack of status....or rep...or bling..or something.
Do you have correct APN set? On some custom ROMs I have installed I had to change APN, because it was set to first in the list by default.
I dont know much about APN ...not durecwhst it's suppose to be set at..im boost mobile.. I'll start researching that next ..thanks brother
No luck.
I found the APN settings on Boost mobile site, I set/saved that to no avail.
I went back to stock/rooted and 4g works fine. But no matter which custom ROM I use I still only have 3g.
Surely someone somewhere knows how to set/fix this.
Can a Mod move this to where someone may have hands-on with this 3g vs 4g issue? Dev or someone?
Month later...5 custom roms later...still either no 4g on custom rom or no camera on simple root w magisk. I still can't post in Dev forum.
No LTE

Have the same problem, how did u go back to stock? TWRP restore? or did you fastboot flash stock fireware? I'm not sure if it makes a difference but after reading a few of these it looks like stock firmware may need to be reflashed with fastboot then start flashing custom ROMs with twrp. If you get the answer let me know if i find out I'll let you know?
Thanks
Update: yes there are ROMs that will fix the LTE problem, I was reading someone with a connection problem someone suggested downloading stock debloated , another suggested AOKP, downloaded both , first I tried debloated got LTE , then flashed the other, for VoLTE. Also I'm not sure if this is correct or not but fastboot flashing modems may work I'm not exactly sure and would need to look it up further is something else I read but didn't try as its 2:00am and I'm being yelled at by a hidden speaker in my kitchen which is why it took so long for me to even try to look for a reason because I've been getting yelled at so long I think I got cancer, I hope Santa brings them a tall glass of shut the f up so I get one day without being yelled at , also Lineage 15 says LTE working. I haven't used it since I don't want to mess with 8.0 right now. MeryXMaz
I'm havin the same issue. Also with Boost Mobile. Most other devices I've rooted have had some sort of boost/sprint/virgin APN fix .zip. But I donno....

Thanks for responding. I still haven't found a fix for the LTE. I will try to aokp again maybe something has been fixed or added. I did fix my camera problem by flashing elementalX so that's good. But not having LTE is not cool. And I also did not want to message w 8.0 yet.
So I tried AOKP to no avail. Still no 4g/LTE. That's time I'll never get back lol.
had the same problem XenonHD seems to work well...
I'll try it thanks
Hoping it'll get better with the official 8.0 release.
Hey Folks, as we all know how stock ROM sucks, I remained on custom ROM to max extend. But sadly I have to revert to stock due to network fluctuation issues. I use Jio as my primary and Airtel in SLOT 2. Fluctuation is widely seen in slot 1 which is reported by many others as well in respective ROM thread.
I have tried methods flashing custom modem image and network signal guru. But none seems to fix the case.
Anyone aware of other methods to fix the network fluctuation issues seen in custom ROMs? May be using any custom kernel?
Please help me to remain in custom ROM!
Cheers,
Hari.
Same here all cust rom has this network fluctuation issue and it is to do with the code. It seems if any one can fix this. It will be great..

The same, please helppppppppppppppppp!!!!
Noticed the same on Vodafone AU, no matter what network mode I set it to. Even on 3G only I get drop outs and fluctuations.
I'm hoping it's just some extra modem related package or service missing from the vendor blobs, but I've not had time to look into it yet (with my limited skills in this area).
For me also lot of fluctuations. Sometimes totally black signal bar. Hope somebody can fix it. I fixt it for now with automate and set network to 2g when on wifi and after lock screen when I am on mobile network.
Modem zip in forum don't solve it for me and also lock some bands with signal guru didn't do the trick.
Hope somebody can solve it a lot of people are suffering this problem.

Has anyone tried using custom kernel? Just curious on if any custom kernel fix this.
Same issue I have been facing, I had re-partitioned my device for Treble using CosmicDan's guide so that I can try all the best custom roms out there and get all updates as they are released but when I faced this issue, I had no choice but to revert back to Android One rom, undoing all the process

Probably resetting modem settings, assuming you've made any.
China only uses maybe 5 bands, and most of the population doesn't often travel far from home; so roaming and tower switching isn't an issue. That, and a power management issue I think are responsible for our network issues.
My money is on these devices working perfectly in the motherland.
Faced the same , almost on every custom ROM .Jio 's volte doesn't work most of the time. Switched to January stable stock twrp with magisk . Now everything is stable , no volte issues at all .
Now my question is , the issue is with ROM or modem file ? As you guys are saying that it is a modem issue ..as now I am on January stable modem , I will try to flash a latest build of any custom ROM and will report .

There's a TWRP flashable May modem patch somewhere in the MiA1 forum. I've flashed it and the results aren't perfect, but circumstances have improved.
I have tried all March, April and May modems and all have problems with custom ROMs and network fluctuations for me. (IND Airtel operator) and even 3G is fluctuating with state owned BSNL. January is the only one I haven't tried which I will after getting a reply from sikoo1996.
I have very limited knowledge of these matters and so far all my attempts with dialer code menu or settings or Network Guru have all failed. Guess I will ditch this phone and stick to my S5.

Rit now I am on jan stock build , means on Jan modem .I will flash a custom ROM now ..later today and will report back about the issue .

I dunno if it actually works for everyone but,
Swapping the SIM card slot worked for me.
Using RR latest. I also flashed stock modem.img but that didn't fix the problem then. It's fixed now by swapping SIM slot.
Hey guys. Try flashing the latest modem and then, go oh ahead to *#*#4636#*#* and select network mode to TD-SCDMA/CDMA/UMTS . ?

@flex1911, I'm sorry for straying so far off topic for long. I'll copy and paste necessary posts here asap, Within the day, so that they may be scrapped or deleted there.
So I have posted before without any replies and am still seeking help...
I know there are others out there in the same situation as me:
On an Unlocked VZW bootloader
On Verizon Wireless 4G LTE in the US
Trying to run a Custom ROM on their phone
But for some reason, I seem to be the only one who has a random delayed texts (both SMS and MMS) issue (by 1-15 minutes) on these forums. Sometimes on Custom ROMs the texts come in normally but other times there is a long delay and it makes having a conversation with people very difficult and irritating. There is NO text delay on rooted (Magisk) QL1, the latest Samsung stock TW S5 6.0.1 ROM, and I have gone back to it since I have no more ideas left to try.
What I have tried:
AEX 5.8 (Oreo 8.1), Havoc OS (8.1), Lineage 15.1 (Latest 8.1), crDroid 3.8.5 (7.1.2), MoKee (7.1.2), AOKP (7.1.2)
Changing APN settings to include the MMSC http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms and leave blank which is the default on Custom/Stock ROMs
Changing APN settings to match the stock VZW settings exactly
Flashed new VZW APN files from an ltefix.zip file I found on XDA
Changing CDMA to be Home and not just Automatic
Changing from Global to CDMA/LTE+EVDO
Went to the Verizon store and got a new SIM card
Booted up without SIM and powered off; then inserted SIM and booted up again
Tried different Modem/Non-HLOS versions like QC2 and QL1
Went into the secret *#*#4636#*#* Phone menu to see what differences exist between stock and Custom ROM settings
Added some lines from the stock VZW Build Prop to Custom ROM Build Prop
Removing HD Voice/VoLTE from my Verizon account
Avoided installing any apps after flashing a Custom ROM to see if the problem remained
Nothing worked! Still get Delayed Texts trying everything I could think of, except when on the stock VZW ROM. Custom ROMs may boot up showing my carrier as Verizon Wireless, but then after some random amount of time will show the Carrier as either "Unknown" (7.1.2) or "Roaming Indicator Off" (8.1). It is usually at that time when the Delayed Texts issue arises once the phone loses its lock on Verizon.
This makes me think it is a Verizon Band issue where for some reason not enough Bands are available for my phone to use on these Non-Verizon Custom ROMs. Or it could have something to do with VoLTE being active on my account at one point (I turned it off on My Verizon to try to combat this problem). Or maybe something to do with how we all unlocked the bootloader in the same way.
But what I don't understand is why I am the only person with this issue since I am pretty sure there are a lot of people on Verizon with CID 15 on Custom ROMs who don't seem to be mentioning this problem!
Any thoughts on how to fix it? Could it be a matter of augmenting the Bands my phone has access to on the Custom ROMs?
Thank you very much!

When you are on stock you are seeing the verizon lte correct? It not showing unkown?
I have a CID 15 I can try and see if that one is having an issues. it has an older lineage rom on it but it should still work for a test.

Yes, stock shows Verizon as the Network in Settings/About Phone/Status and Verizon Wireless as Carrier and LTE as Type in the secret phone settings page I get to through the app Advanced Signal Status.
Appreciate your assistance in testing Lineage on your CID 15. Since no one else seems to be complaining I have a feeling it will show as Verizon as you'd expect. Feels very lonely on my island lol, but at least rooted stock with Xposed is livable for now.

Thanks for trying! Assume you waited a while with the S5 in Lineage before responding because mine will start as Verizon but then after 1-30 minutes will switch over to Unknown.
Yeah I recently came across the same post in my research on this. Seems like most of the people who used that guide weren't able to do anything with their modem like call or had missing SIM card messages. I have always had the ability to call except when I debloated the stock ROM too much lol! I am hesitant to start deleting modem files and find myself in worse trouble than I am in now when stock works perfectly (aside from the lagginess).
Besides this issue with Lineage Oreo, I also found AOSP Extended Oreo to be a huge battery hog because my phone ran HOT (but maybe it's related to my main modem? issue). On stock, I almost never find the thing getting warm, it's just not as smooth as Oreo is. I am going to let S5 Oreo mature further and improve on the battery performance before going back to it I think and just stay on working stock for now. If I had concrete evidence that my daily driver could be fixed without any risk, I might consider following instructions.
Appreciate your assistance regardless since no one else has really made any suggestions!
Thank you!

I tried this one once when my old sprint S5 didn't have 4G. I ended up with no network at all, I had to do a forget network and reboot to get everything back. I never got that phone fixed I know there is another forum about that issue as well:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/help/galaxy-s5-galaxy-note-3-sprint-help-t3698708
Most people were able to get it fixed by replacing the SIM, but since you did that I didn't mention this post.
UPDATE:
Forgot to ask, have you tried a different messenger? I know it wont fix you unknown errors but I thought I'd ask. Also, when you did the modem update, was it this update: https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/modem-modems-t3154630

Thanks for the quick reply!
You tried the deleting the modems fix or the link in your prior post for your Spring S5? And what is a "forget network" fix -- just resetting all network settings in Android?
Yeah I was really hoping the replacement SIM would fix it but sadly it was a dead end.
I have tried several messengers like the stock Lineage one, Google Messenger, and landed on Textra because it has the most configuration options.
Yeah I tried Odining modems from both the link you referenced and extracting them myself from the firmware. Not sure if this is essentially the same thing as overwriting the modems in the corrupted TWRP modem guide. I am tempted to try this over the weekend after making an EFS backup. Hard for me to believe that deleting modemst1 partitions and not restoring them afterwards as is what seems to be the fix... Does the system automatically rebuild them or something?

So I decided to bite the bullet and run the dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1 and 2 in TWRP terminal and got the "No space left on device" in the output (tried over ADB with the same result). Supposedly this isn't necessarily a bad thing as evidenced https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68532486&postcount=115. Had no problems on stock after doing this (but had no problems on stock prior either).
Then I switched back to AOSP Extended 5.8 (Oreo) and sadly I got the Roaming Indicator Off right away. I tried zeroing out the modemst's again with the same No Space result and back in Oreo got the same delayed texts and Roaming Indicator Off after a few minutes. Dead end, but at least I tried I guess. I am back on stock and my only other thought is to unlock some LTE bands but that may be too technical for me to bother with. Stock works with the current bands so I wonder why I should have to do that on Lineaage.

This bug has been around for awhile and affects all S5s differently and at different times. There are still S5s that work great, who knows if they will ever gets this bug. You may want go to the Lineage post on XDA to see if they maybe able to help you. Maybe something has changed since I gave up on my S5. Good Luck!

Can you do me one more favor and tell me if your CID is 1501004d414732474300bd6d97165100 (think we all have the same)? Not sure if my problem relates to the way my S5 was unlocked as I originally used one of the early unlock methods (wipe the SD) from https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...t/rd-unlocking-galaxys-s5-bootloader-t3337909. Thanks!

My Verizon S5 (this is the working phone) is a CID 15 (I don't have the phone with me right now to get the CID ID), I can look around for the setup I used. It was some months ago when I ran the bootloader unlock and root. BUT! the phone I had an issue with the LTE was a sprint S5 that was unlocked for years before they started locking the bootloaders. This bug affects all carriers, but mostly sprint and verizon.

Thanks yeah that's the more recent method and I am just trying to figure out if that results in the same CID I have. If not, there may be some issue because I am using the same CID as others. But perhaps we all are using the same CID and then I can cross that theory off my long list haha. When you get a chance, can you please check the CID of the Verizon S5 you have?
Thanks!

The CID doesn't change, its just the Chip ID of the phone. You either have the CID 11, which you wouldn't be able to unlock the boot loader let alone put lineage on it. Then there's the CID 15 which does let you unlock the boot loader. I never used the CID checker I ended up finding out if I had a 15 by going to this forum: https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/help/to-id-cid-15-loading-app-t3756413
Now, with that being said, could there be some sort of correlation between a CID 15 with a specific version number and the bug? Its possible, I could have a different CID 15 version than you and that one may not be affected. Who knows

Pretty sure this whole unlocking the bootloader on CID 15 requires that you change your CID to match the Developer CID. I know that my current CID is referenced in the thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...locking-galaxys-s5-bootloader-t3337909/page39 back when this was all just coming out (and when I first unlocked it using the old method 4 - https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...t/rd-unlocking-galaxys-s5-bootloader-t3337909). I used to have a different CID that's saved somewhere else.
Any chance you can look your CID to see if it matches 1501004d414732474300bd6d97165100?
Thanks!
The thing is if i flash any kernel like custom or other than stock default kernel. I get emergency calls only. It does detects my carrier but no signals. Signals only work with stock rom which came with my cell. Even if i flash other stock firmware, no signals there as well. I noticed the problem is in the kernels.
Any one knows what is the issue ? Model is G950N LUC.
TIA.

yeah maybe. IMEI is ok. signals wokring fine with rom came with it. SD1 PIE.
Have you tried flashing kernel of other S8 variants?
Maybe your model is not exactly G950N?
Just to make sure, try of othe variants.
And probably you know that older operating systems may have problems cause of modem version, right?

yes friend i tried flashing other kernels. No signals. though it detect my carrier but emergency calls only strange
my model is G950N as it also says on my ODIN screen.
yes ik every rom has based firmware and modems should match the firmware. tried that no luck
