Hi All,
My P8 (GRA-L09) running B399, but happens on all builds, sporadically drops my providers GSM network signal.
It sometimes shows "Emergency Call Only" but on occasions still shows providers name as if still connected. Now, a quick change to "Airplane Mode" on/off brings back the signal but as I don't know when it drops signal it is more than annoying, to say the least, in fact the phone is pretty useless like this.
Any ideas, please? BTW I have tried changing SIM.
TIA.

My huawei p8 (also GRA L09) only works if I set it up to use 4g and then I cant call anyone or be called. Of I set it up to use 2g/3g connection it loses signal completely. It happened since the last two update, first occasionaly now permanently, even on cust roms, except Magic arrow, that I didnt used yet Have no idea why this is happening and dont have answer on your problem, but just to let you know that you are not alone in this problem Anyone have solution, I would really liked to know!

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.
?

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

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.
Hello,
I got a new Lg G2 D802 a week ago and have some srtange issues with it. Although my phone seems connected to my GSM provider about once a day i notice i cannot receive/make calls. Only thing to fix it is by rebooting the phone. It tried going in to airplane mode but it doent help and GSM signal still appears to be full while airplane mode is on. Basically its like i have no gsm signal but phone says its full.
This happens while i m sitting in my office with full GSM signal, another colleague next to me with the same device and provider never had this problem.
Has anyone else had this problem? Do you thing its a hardware or software issue? I tried searching for it but didn't find anything relevant.
Thanks in advance.
I also noticed in Settings the "Mobile Networks" option is grayed out when this happens
On my K3 Note, I can't pick preferred network mode on ANY rom/firmware.
I've tried everything, but it always sets the default preference which is 4G>3G>2G.
What I need though is permanent 2G and I can't set it this way. (4G signal is weak on my operator and then it keeps switching between 4G and 2G over and over)
Is there any way to entirely disable or block 4G on a phone so it will never set that mode again?
Any help would be appreciated!
Any help guys? No one knows what could be the issue?
I tried using the *#*#4636#*#* code and set the "GSM Only" but it still doesn't work.
Is anyone else having the same issue?
Edit:
Also what I've noticed is that while using CyanogenMod (atm), it stays on 2G until I turn the screen off. Then it goes back to 4G.
After turning the screen back on it then goes back to 2G again.
same problem here when dialling number it said invalid MMI code and when switching to 4g the other network appear no signal.. hope someone here have solution. i try several roms but same problem issue.
Well after a lot of fiddling, it seems it works on the stock firmware, but the mobile operator as himself has quite troubling network.
But I think we are slowly coming to a conclusion..
