[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathfrag:
Hi,

I'm facing this major problem with my handset.

When I insert a SIM card to my mobile, it registers with the network (VODAFONE IN) with signal strength of 12asu and then gradually decreases to 5asu and then 1asu when my phone shows no signal afterwards. The carrier is shown as Unknown and service as out of service.

If I put the same SIM in another phone, it works. So no problem with the SIM or Network.

I have tried the following:

1) Flashed various modems

2) Flashed various ROMS (CM9, CM10, Official Stock)

3) Did complete WIPE. Factory Reset, Clear cache, Clear Dalvik cache, Format /system

4) I also restored by efs to a backup I had of my efs(taken when I first got the phone in 2011).

5) Also used Repair Galaxy S2 app which basically fixes RW permissions of the EFS folder.

6) Also used EFS Pro to repair my .nav files

7) Also used GetRIL tool to check if the drivers are matching.

Even after doing everything, the problem is same. When I first insert the sim card, it gets signal for around 5 minutes and then suddenly it goes to 1asu with no signal forever. I also kept my phone as it is for one whole day, but nothing: my phone is unreachable and there's no signal.

I had never dropped my phone and possibility of any physical damage to the receiver is very low.

The only reason I can see is this:

I was on DilDroid ICS and everything was fine until one day, I went to Recovery and fixed permissions. (Btw, DilDroid ICS used Siyah kernal)

And I think that was the last thing I did after which my phone couldn't receive signals.

I think some files have been corrupted and even after factory reset etc. it remains and the next time I flash another ROM, the files are still there.

Can someone tell me a way to completely clean my galaxy s2 and then start off by flashing a new ROM.

Or any other solution. Kindly help. :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
do a full wipe and install another rom and see:)

1) Wipe data/Factory reset

2) go to 'mounts and storage' and wipe data and system there.

3)wipe Cache partition as well as Dalvik in advance.

then install the rom zip file

and again do all wipes except system and then check for issue's:)

ps- before that try with a different netwrk sim on the phone and see if the issue persists or not:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathfrag:
Hi Sun90,

I've tried flashing different ROM after complete wipe. I also wiped system. But never wiped data. Doing it now.

update:

I tried your approach, but still facing the same problem. Please help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aton88:
Hello everyone.

I got exactly the same problem. I had my I9100 for over a year. I flashed lots of roms. Now i got this problem. I cannot connect to the service of my carrier. I got realy bad connection or no connection at all. The sim works on different Galaxys and its not a problem with the apn and or my IMEI. Evereything is ok there.

what have I done so far:

flashed several roms

flashed several modems

went back to original rom

several whipes

Now I have a nice MP3 player with some WIFI at home :mad:

What im thinkin about could be the problem but I dont know how to fix it:

I think i got a wrong CSC and there is something rotten with my partitions...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
have u guys tried with a differnet netwrk's Sim other than the one ur into and checked for the same issue?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathfrag:
Haven't tried that, but what will that prove? My SIM works perfectly okay on different mobile.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aton88:
yes i tried another networks's sim as well. sim was recognised. sim-pin ok. but no service/connection. on manual carrier choice the galaxy said something like connected to service. but there is no internet and if i try to make a call there is the "no service" popup again.

i dont think its a problem with the HW because sometimes i see the different carriers. i just cannot connect to them!

as I said before: I think its a SW problem around CSC and/or somethin is ****ed up with my phones partitions...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathfrag:
That's true. If I sometime connect to my network, I can quickly make a call & for the duration of the call, it remains okay. Pretty strange. I can goto flight mode and then back and sometimes I get the signals back for around 2-3 minutes before again going to no signal.

@Aton88, Were you by any chance on Siyah kernal or DilDroid ROM or went outside India? Just asking. Trying to find a pattern here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
rather trying to know whether it prove a thing' isn't of much importance compared to giving it a try and see for any hardware issue:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathfrag:
That's true, I'll try that with my friend's SIM tomorrow. Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
yeh sure, give it a try:)

and by the way creating more threads for the same issue doesn't bring about any goodthing to u for sure, hence stick to the rules of XDA, rather than doing this and getting Infracted by the mods for the same:)

take my words this is for ur own good:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathfrag:
Thanks for the advice. I shall make sure I don't create duplicate threads. Btw, I even checked if my phone is locked but it's not. Everything is OFF.

I even checked the validity of my IMEI and it seems to be valid.

I'm really running out of ideas to check what's wrong. :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathfrag:
I tried a different provider's SIM and even that doesn't work.

Can someone tell me how to do a complete clean install.

Are these steps complete or any steps are missing:

1. Factory Reset

2. Clear cache

3. Clear Dalvik Cache

4. Clear Battery stats

5. Wipe /system

6. Wipe /data

Then Goto Odin: Flash the official Stock Firmware for India.

Am i missing anything? I want a complete WIPE, so that no previous corrupted files are present. Please help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
u can give it a try with those steps but no4 is not necessary:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ammar1514:
i have a similar problem.....in the about section my network is displayed correctly but under "service state" it says out of service... BUT the internet works fine....when i try to make a call it says "not registered on network" ...the sim works fine in other phones.....the IMEI is also fine.

heres what i have tried :

1) change sim card

2) change roms

3) go back to stock GB that phone came with

4)wipes (all)

now i think i messed up something with the ril cause i changed it and i think thats where the problem started.

i got backups of the efs but i dont wana go there unless absolutely sure that the problem is there.

(is there a way to i dont know like check the integrity of tue efs or something)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bodomfan:
I'm having a similar problem with my s2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ammar1514:
if someon could plz check this for me.

i went into the service mode menu *#197328640#..then option 2 which is version info ...then option 1 which is SW version....then option 1 which is READ IMEI ...now when i selected that it said IMEI :NOT SUPPORTED

i dont know if thats normal...so if someone could please try this and let me know..i would be extremely thankful
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ammar1514:
ok so i did a lil experiment :

i purposely messed up my IMEI to that generic one with lots of zeros ...and suprisingly the calling function is back and i can use the phone normally except ofcourse the fact that the IMEI is messed....

Then i restored to get my own IMEI ...and together with my IMEI ..the problem came back too....

(oh and once again if someone could plz confirm the thing i asked about in previous post thanks)

Have you tried checking network operators and manually searching and selecting the Network provider?

also have you tried flashing a different radio ?

Hi,

Becouse, I'm new I need to post my message here in General forum, sorry for that!

I have problem with my HTC Desire, after I installed Mild Wild 5.0 Stable-Release.

The problem is my GPS, it doesn't work. I don't see the notification icon when I run GPS.

GPS Test and GPS Status doesn't see any satelites and of course, my gps navigation doesn't work. I try to clean cache, dalvik-cache, install AGPS Patch from this forum. Almost every type of this patch... but any thing helps.

Then I try look for some information about blocking GPS in source code,. I found information that only in betas sometimes the GPS is blocked by programmers, in stable releases they never do this, also only couple of people had the same problem, so it could be tricky.

FYI: on my original ROM (from HTC: Android 2.2.2) the GPS was working perfect.

Do you have some ideas what could be a problem?

Thank you.

You can't post in the Dev forum, but you can (and should) post this in the Q&A forum for your device.
[General Questions and Answers] moonlightinwhite:
This might be a silly question, but have you tried explicitly turning on your GPS and then opening an app like GPS Essentials? I mean this instead of relying on the app to turn it on.
[General Questions and Answers] rbrus:
Yes and it didn't help...
[General Questions and Answers] rbrus:

I instelled MildWild V4.3 with Oxygen 2.3.7 and now everything works fine.

[General Questions and Answers] haluzator1:
same problem. I tried external gps via bluetooth and everything works. Version Mildwild 5.0.

EDIT: fix - goo.gl/YkhNH
[General Questions and Answers] bryangb:
Let me guess - is that is Desire PVT4? (It'll say on the recovery-loader screen.)

I had exactly the same problem: on a PVT4, with MW-CM5 no GPS, with MW v4.3 the GPS is fine.

But on my older Desire PVT1, both versions work fine with the GPS.

Had Wicked V3 installed and then upgraded to V5. Both ROMs exhibit the same Bluetooth issue - when it connects to my car amp or my headset, it's like it has answered a call.

I see a counter on my car's amp display and can't switch modes on it until I go to the phone and originate a call then hang up. After that, all works fine.

I thought it was a problem with the phone since I installed Wicked only a couple of days after I got it. Using the cool installer with V5, I tried a couple of different kernels (Faux and Trinity), but both seemed to act the same way.

To confirm it's an issue with software instead of hardware, I restored the stock ROM and it connected and worked normally.

I really like Wicked! But this glitch with the Bluetooth may be a deal breaker for me. Is there something I can do to make this work properly?

Thanks!

Bit finally fell into the bucket?

After all my testing with stock, restored back to Wicked V5 but forgot to wipe anything. Tried to connect to car amp but no luck. After struggling with it a bit, finally got it to pair/connect.

For some reason, now it's working as it should! Beats me why, but I'll take it!

Don't know if this will help anyone else, but this is my experience!

Good Luck!

or just decompile an apk n tell which things matter while porting from one device to another..

or can we jst build the SYSTEM app from sources for the device?? by just editing the source files?
[Android General] mhrsolanki2020:
i didnt meant the rom.. i meant only the system aplication like the lockscreen or mms.apk
[Android General] Xmaster8:
Lockscreen is part of framework-res.apk ;) And yeah i am interested in how to port App from JB/ICS to GB for example...
[Android General] mhrsolanki2020:
ya i know it is a part of the framework-res.apk .

but there has to be some way to port it right?? for eg you can jst extract those sources(imgs,line of codes, .smali files) n then put it in to the lockscreen apk itself.. n change the location of those sources mentioned in the lockscreen apk ..??

Hi everyone,

I recently got a i9000 that was on icm via devils kernel. I did a factory reset on the device and think this corrupted the EFS folder as i was given the generic IMEI and had no signal. I flashed back to a stock GB 2.3.5 and managed to get my own IMEI back on the phone. I still however have no signal so wondered what to do next?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmyers:
Hi,

I recently downloaded BetterBatteryStats to get an idea of what processes are running on my phone, and how I could potentially improve battery life. What I found this morning is that a wakelock is keeping my phone active for large amounts of the phone battery time (up to 60%...sometimes more). This seems to be preventing deep sleep, and perhaps better battery life.

I'm a newbie to Android, so please excuse this potentially ridiculous question....but could my push email (exchange using touchdown) be causing this wakelock? The actual wakelock is called PhoneWindowManger.mBroadcastWakeLock.

Any info would be most appreciated!

By the way....I'm running an SGS3 with stock ICS.
