[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LosserKlosser:
I had a longer conversation with the devs of Handcent on Google Talk. They sent me a beta version of a new version that made a log file that I returned to them.

The log revealed that Handcent used a wrong port for my provider.

They fixed the issue on their server in less than half an hour and it works flawlessly on JellyBam 6.7.0 now.

They were very helpful and effective and I am deeply impressed of the speed and thoroughness with which they handled the issue.

I can only recommend that if anyone experience problems with Handcent to contact the devs because it really does make a difference - they take it seriously.

And also I must say: I love Android. The whole conversation and solving of the issue were done when I was on a train ride. I restored a nandroid backup, received and sent email and talked to the devs on Google Talk, emailed the log-file and tested the solution all from my seat. On Android you really have the world in your device, at your fingertips.

I can't get any sort of data signal at all from my phone! IT's already been 3 days since this happened and I can't change my APN, nor does switching the modem version work, what do I do?? I would really hate to call AT&T because they'll just blame the phone being rooted and expect me to go back to stock Gingerbread.

So someone please help me so that I wouldn't have to do that!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] stratatak7:
Have you tried ODIN back to stock to eliminate any potential external issues? I saw your post yesterday in my APN thread. At this point I would go back to stock and see if that helps and then from there root/flash the ROM of your choice.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] aristik:
same problem

I just installed the new CM 10.1 and I have the same problem. Actually I've had it mostly with all the JB softwares out there that I tried. Could the signal problem be related to the IMEI? I think I've lost, indeed, my IMEI by changing to JB but could that be my problem? Yesterday I placed a few phone calls and it worked. Now it just random disconnects and it woun't allow me to make any phonecalls. Also it takes 5-10 minutes before it connects to the network (Vodafone - if it makes any difference). I just figuered it was a modem problem but you got me wondering.

If I buy a Sprint phone on Ebay with a clean ESN and activate it, what happens if the seller then cancels his/her account early a month later?

Will my ESN be bad then? Or will I just have problems trying to sell it later, but it will continue to work as long as I have it my account?

[HTC Droid DNA] daviddolphin:
Okay guys I have been having this or a similiar problem since back when i had my droid X.

Here is what happens:

I sync my contacts with google and facebook, pretty everything links okay and the contacts that don't I manually link to the proper facebook contact. All of my contacts have pictures now from facebook. When I use the messaging app my contact images seem random, some show up some don't. I have googled this to no avail and it seems that others do have this problem and something like syncmypix app can solve the problem which is the route i took with my Droid X. This method seems hacky to me and I really dont like having to run another syncing app when the pictures seem to already be connected to the contact.

The second bigger problem is that the contacts without pictures seem to not actually be connected to the proper contact at all in the messaging app. When i click on the "ghost man" (because the picture doesnt show up) thumbnail I am not forwarded to the contact details. However for contacts with pictures everything works properly.

When I use a third party messaging app (sliding messaging) everything works perfectly.

So the question is, am I doing something wrong? Is there an inherent flaw or bug in android that is ****ing this up? Is my cellphone data corrupt? What is going on... I love android but this is seriously almost driving me away as it has been an issue for almost 3 years with 2 different phones for me.

Thank you!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] utilitydave:
I've not had a 3G/HSPA signal on my N4 for a while now. Trouble is I don't know exactly when it happened as I'm generally on either WiFi at home or at work, where I know I can only get Edge.

I've tried the usual check the APN, *#*#4636#*#* and nothing's jumping out at me (if I tell it to use WCDMA only I get no signal at all).

I'm wondering if it was the 4.2.2 udpate and wonder if I've got the wrong radio - so the question is does anyone know what radio I should have on my N4? I'm in the UK on Vodafone, but I got the phone from the Play Store.

I've tried searching but the N4 seems to have had so many signal issues it's difficult to sift out the relevant stuff :rolleyes:

I'm not rooted but I'm happy to do it if needed. Already tried a factory reset so nothing to lose!

Cheers,

Dave
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] utilitydave:
Yeah, sorry, forgot to say. I tried the wife's SIM (different operator) and same issue, only got a 2G signal.

I was thinking it might have been an issue when they updated it to remove the LTE "feature"

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtgeek:
participles ipntsly

I started having the same issue today in Atlanta. Had another T-Mobile HSPA phone sitting next to mine with 4 bars while I was on Edge. My N4 is < 1 week old and seemed to be OK but now I can't get it on anything other than Edge.

I've checked my APN settings, reset the radio, turned data on/off and reset the phone with no luck.

Any advice?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtgeek:
Update: Just got mine working, here is what I did.

Wasted 20 mins talking to Google and T-Mobile. (I don't recommend this step.)

Type in *#*#4636#*#*

Scroll down and change 'WCDMA Preferred' to 'WCDMA Only'. At this point my bars switched from Edge to HSPA.

Now, undo the change and put it back on WCDMA Preferred. Make sure it still has a 3G or an H next to your bars.

Exit and enjoy the fast phone.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JazzTheMeister:
I am having the exact same problem as Dave. My n4 has just stopped connecting to WCDMA (H).

I have tried re entering my APN's, Turning on/off mobile network, Airplane mode, rebooting and removing the SIM. From the test menu I have tried WCDMA only but I lose my signal completely and go to emergency calls only. If I use either GSM only or WCDMA preferred I can get a 2G connection but nothing more and when on WCDMA preferred it can lose connection completely as well.

I am also with Vodafone UK.

Getting bars on 'GSM only'

I have got the same issue on my Nexus 4, and I still don't understand how it happened in the first place. I updated a bunch of apps before going to bed and remember waking up to no signals on my phone.

Currently I only receive signal when I go *#*#4636#*#* and set it to 'GSM only'. Any other configuration (WCDMA preferred, WCDMA only, etc) results in loss of signal.

I have tried the following with no luck:

1) Restored Factory Settings

2) Installed an older version of android

3) Flashed multiple radios

4) Steps listed on this thread

Can anyone help me out with this?

Thanks

Sorry to say that a lot of user is stuck with this RSU 4.21 including me, Which can't downgrade back to older version. You might need to wait for newer version.

Friendly speaking only saw a post from this forum that ONE person manage to revert back the RSU. :wink:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] BlueMoon2510:
:lol:

On my xda (MDA from T-Mobile Germany) I made a complete update with RUU & RSU from this file "4.00.10 - official-tmo2003.rar". After that I experienced same probs as any (?) other European user. So I decided to switch back: I downloaded my old 3.23 RSU from T-Mobile Germany (http://www.t-mobile.de/downloads/software/t_mobile_mda_gsm_gprs_update_v3_23.exe and installed it. While installing to my desktop I ignored an error that says I am trying to install an older version and I should not do that blablabla. It automatically installs (copies) every needed file to the xda via ActiveSync add/remove software dialog.

The updateprogram starts automatically on the xda. It goes slowly to 100% without any error but after a self-performed soft reset it starts again?! So I looked in the StartUp folder and there it was: the program rsuupdate... Incorrectly it was still there, so I deleted it myself.

Now I have a RUU V 4.00.10 ENG with PW10B1 (on my german PW10A1) and a RSU V 3.23. It's running more stable than everytime before.

new problem.

After turning the phone part off, I find that I cant turn it back on again. if I reflash with 4.21 the phone turns on but again the no signal problem comes back :(

When I say phone part, what I mean is the pda works fine just the phone connection

glad the weather is nice for you .. here in the UK North East coast we are having heavy rain and thunder storms. its nice n cool though and gives me an excuse to sit here and check out the new threads.

RSU problems...

I also had some problems after upgrading to 4.21 (including not seeing my home network!!!).

I went into the bootloader and siwtched to DualBand GSM 900/1800, and then everything worked again. BUT then you NEVER go anymore in the menu BAND of your settings or it will switch you back to old config.

Give it a try,

[AT&T LG Optimus G] jonny4:
So I have 2 phones and I have a new car stereo that is paired to both. I only need to LG for audio streaming and I was wondering if anyone knows how to disable the phone portion under the LG BT control Panel. I know on some older Android phones I could tell it I just wanted to use the BT for Audio Streaming but on this one there are 2 options underneath the profile for the radio and when i click them it just tries to connect to the radio is that connection type, I can't uncheck the boxes. Pictures below to show what happens.

I will try it again without the other phone paired and see if it matters. What LGOG do you have though, just curious.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] fps_pete:
Just the stock At&t LGOG. And yeah it should work. i tried it with it no being connected to anything and it was doing the same thing, and i tried it in my car and it let me unselect it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jonny4:
Got it working but if I use the other phone and then turn off my BT on it and then turn the BT on the LGOG I can't play anything off of it, ugh. Probably a problem with the radio.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] kc_exactly:
Does anyone else have issues writing text that are longer than one sms long? If so, is there a fix. This app has had the same issues on each update.

Another problem is when I go to compose a new text and I am typing the person's name in the contacts box it won't show the phone number I am trying to send a message to. It happens when I text my wife. I will type her name and it will show every other phone number she has but her cell phone. Can't seem to figure it out. I went into the contacts app and set her cell as the preferred number and that didn't fix it. I don't think that issue can easily be recreated.

So those are the two issues. Also, are those issues on the custom roms? I would imagine they are at no fault to the devs.

I did not notice any issues with contact names.

Hope this helps.
