a bunch of us friends get together every wednesday night at this chili's near our house and for some reason the second we go inside our 4G drops out. we all have samsung phones, note 2's, S3's and now my S4 and the best way we found to restore our 4G when in the building, toggle airplane mode on and off. we go from having no 4G, to full blown 4G
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xiismythx:

Use this app to force lte only http://db.tt/6emsIZZE
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 318sugarhill:
Which app is this? I used to use LTE switch on my rezound. I could set it for LTE, CDMA and it would cut out 3g entirely. Most of the time my rezound preferred 4g, but would occasionally revert back to 3G. LTE switch or any other of the Play store LTE toggle apps do not work on the S4.....So what makes this one different?

Edit.... Ok so I installed it.....First THANK YOU. It's just like LTE switch...but it is slightly different. LTE switch had more radio options/combinations. WCdma would make the rezound lock up and go into an endless reboot cycle, so you had to use Cdma auto prl for 3g. But it had the standard LTE, CDMA, EVDO for 4G, 3G, and 1x. LTE only will not allow phone calls. so I used LTE, CDMA. Will the LTE/CDMA auto (prl) on this keep it from going to 3g like I had on the rezound?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] najaboy:
Doesn't seem to be in my case. The phone still defaults to 3g. Hopefully a sim card swap fixes it. If not, we're looking at warranty exchanges.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 318sugarhill:
Yeah this sucks. If I hit LTE it will switch to 4g and then I go back to lte/cdma/auto, and will switch back to 3g. If it had the ability to block evdo than it would stay in 4g or 1x only. Maybe this can be tweaked? The rezound had a number sequence you could dial to get into the same menu that lte switch would give you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] najaboy:
New sim fixed the issue for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jsz3us:
Who developed this app and is it safe? Not that I think you are out to cause harm, but side-loading apps merits these questions and concerns.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Topher227:
It looks like this is just the Phone Info shortcut app.

Phone Info is an android system app (pre loaded), this app is just a shortcut to it (rather than using a long dialer code to get in).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jsz3us:
I tried the long dialer code (*#*#4636#*#*) but that did not work. This app did the trick for me. Many thanks for posting it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] emplox:
This also happens to me....see below. It shows i have 4G, but isn't connecting to it.

Hello everyone,

i got the problem after i flashed a stock JB nandroid backup with stock kernel + modules and a stock recovery, my HOX has no signal and the airplane mode is pernantly enabled.

I have a:

HOX (Tegra3)

H-Boot: 1.36

CID: Vodap102

My signal bar has only the little x.

I tried everything what people offers in this forum to fix it but with no help.

And vodafone do not released the RUU for JB yet and i really dunno how i could get it.

I have S-ON so i cant downgrade my H-Boot and i cant change my CID...

I asked for the repair service at HTC but i really dont spend 250 bucks for that...

My Radio shows nothing also my IMEI and all carrier related informations.

I hope someone can help me here to fix this... i really dunno what to do...

Thx in advance
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Flash the boot.img from the nandroid backup (its in the backup folder) then make a full wipe, then restore the nandroid

Must work like this. You speak of kernel + modules ?

Modules are in the nandroid backup and will be restored automatically.
[HTC One X] MirageBlader:
Ok i will try it :D thx for the reply

I`ll will report the result then :D
[HTC One X] MirageBlader:
ITS WORKS

i leaved my phone for like 10 mins still cuz i was mad... and then it vibrate cuz iam getting a message XD

Man i love u!
[HTC One X] vin4yak:
Was the device fully functional when you took the nandroid backup?

Flash boot.img and then erase cache.. go to recovery

Use this script before restoring the backup: http://d-h.st/kG0 (Flash it via recovery)

Now restore backup! If you still can't get off from airplane mode, then download a nandroid backup from here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1975140 and do the whole process again!
[HTC One X] MantasfromLithuania:
[MENTION=5165311]vin4yak[/MENTION] Can you give another link, because this: http://d-h.st/kG0 is not working for me. I met the same problem. no signal, and airplane mode is on.

*It's working now* thanks ill do the same. boot, erase catche, super wipe, restore.

Same story :( No matter which rom i install nandroid backup or arhd or renovate (now) it's same stuck in "turning airplane mode off" Soft reset, hard reset, battery pull, full wipe everything tested and still no luck :(
[HTC One X] MirageBlader:
sry to hear that but... yesterday my phone rebooted by himself and now i stuck in airplane mode again :(
[HTC One X] MantasfromLithuania:
Ok, i manage that the i reboot my phone in "hot reboot" shell reboot. The airplane mode is off (finally) But! No service and IMEI is still unknown. Any suggestions ?

I'm using renovate ROM. :) Try that.
[HTC One X] athulele:
Have you flashed the boot.img??

If you have, try reinstalling the ROM.
[HTC One X] MantasfromLithuania:
I have flashed boot, rom, rom, rom, nandroid, rom rom rom boot.img I've done nearly everything. :)

The phone is from 2nd hand and i buy'd him with this problem (airplane mode turning off, no service, no imei, wifi is ok)

I'm trying to figure out what to change next. maybe radio ? :D

P.S now i can finally turn off that "few bad words" airplane mode. But... no service and no imei.... Is that possible to fake imei ? somehow cheat the phone. I have my own IMEI it would'n be under law, right ?

Also, some phone details:

android 4.0.4

Radio 5.1204.162.29

hboot: 1.39.0000

cid HTC_102

Main version 3.14.401.31

Also, then i try to call emergency (112 in my country) It says that "turning on radio" what that means ?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Radio means signal.

There is also the possibility that the phone is blacklisted and stolen !!!
[HTC One X] MantasfromLithuania:
I don't think so. I have orig box, orig usb cable, headset, charger. I think it would be to difficult to steal phone from person/shop with everything ^^

Also, if nothing happens in these days, i'm planning to buy another One x with cracked screen. Is it possible somehow to check that phone ? About servise, airplane mode, imei, etc ? what parrameters i should check ? I understand that i need to insert sim ant call from another phone to that, to check the signal, but what else ? :) Thanks for reply.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
You never know :(

I think its back to the shop mate
[HTC One X] Bolleke1:
In my experience when this happens you forgot to wipe cache and Dalvik cache. When you do that after flashing a custom kernel or rom you will see after the reboot that Android is updating the apps. Then it starts up and you're not in an Airplane loop.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Nah never had that once in my 3 years of flashing.......

The solution

Hello people,

I had this extremely annoying problem and tried nearly every rational or irrational so-called "solution" (flashing custom roms, restoring nandroid backups, meddling with kernels, pressing and holding the power button for ten seconds, etc.) to no avail.

I think this solution is the only definitive one and I've stumbled upon it by mistake while I was looking at the mainboard circuitry to figure out whether something was off and then realized that one of the antenna right below the micro usb port was broken. Since I previously had opened my phone up to fix the wi-fi issue and for a battery replacement, I cannot account for how the antenna broke but I do know now that the problem is due to lack of contact between the antenna and the little plate in the back cover (similar to the wi-fi problem explained in length here http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1688538) and it's probably what is happening to most of you who has been unable to fix the issue with a simple kernel flash.

QUICK NOTE: This fix involves minor repair; you will have to open the back cover and possibly do some soldering (you do not even need to unscrew anything).

Here is what you need to do:

1. Remove the back cover (it can be tricky the fist time, there are tons of tutorials on youtube)

2. Locate the antenna right below the micro usb port on the mainboard (I am talking about the ones mentioned here: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2130751)

3. Check if they are intact; if so, try to lift them softly so that they will contact the plate corresponding to them on the back cover (the vertical, rectangular gold plate).

4. If they are not intact or if you want a more permanent fix or just like soldering stuff, apply solder. Again, the main idea is to have them contact the plate, you can get creative if you want.

5. Put the phone back together and jump in the air.

Conclusion: In my case (and I suspect in many others'), the issue was the antenna which is probably for DLNA. I have read so many threads and it appears even the HTC repair people are unaware of this fix and opt for replacing the entire mainboard. This is a relatively easy and cheap fix and I hope it helps others.

Cheers!

You can flash the .tar file and get everything back, which is the easiest method for you.

Let me tell you that you should know what you're doing because you can permanently damage your phone if you don't know what you're doing. Have a look here for detailed instructions here.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zhoene:
Hi all;

I have sent my tablet to warranty as it had some flickering and I got it back today.

But when i connected it to my PC (the same PC that it worked well previously), it didn't recognize it in MTP (Media Device) mode.

I formatted it, but it still didn't work.

My PC recognizes it well in Camera (PTP) Mode, but whenever i put it back to MTP mode, it doesn't work.

I tried it on another PC, and strangely it worked all good, I checked the drivers and they are all good.

Is there anything i can do?

Thanks A Lot.

EDIT: I have removed and reinstalled the drivers, and it works all good. :D

After reading many threads & posts about people's Nexus's breaking so easily, I thought I would make this thread. So share your near death experience(s) here.

I've dropped mine from 5 ft, twice on a solid floor, and the only damage is a little scuff on the chrome bezel on the corner.

Yesterday my nexus was dropped into a bin (by my coworker, not me!), so a 3/4ft drop onto hard plastics & stone, and then solid plaster was dropped on top. The only protection my Nexus had was one of those waterproof bags (like when you buy grapes).

That's all. I've skid her a few times along laminate flooring, and she goes through rapid temperature changes (hot hand to freezing stainless steel bench) without shattering.

She works fine & only has a small scuff. So I guess these phones aren't as fragile as people say they are! Cheers.
[Nexus 4 General] Johmama:
My nearest-to-death experience was dropping her from 2-3 feet from my lap to the ground, which had carpet. That was more than enough of a scare for me. I do baby my electronics, though. I think I'm going to stop living in fear of breaking my Nexus 4 and start enjoying it. I just took off my screen protector last week and am enjoying the feel of the sloped glass in front. I figure if I continue to be extra cautious, I'll be good. And if I get a scratch, well, I'll just live with it.

The wife and were sitting on the top step of the front porch having a smoke. I thought I had a good grip on it but somehow it came out of my hand and I bobbled it about 5 times as my heart skipped a beat. I finally snagged it out of the air and it went back into my pocket. I've never actually dropped it but I know it would have been finished had it hit and toppled down concrete steps!

We took my three year old son to get his passport photos done. For whatever reason he would not sit calmly in the chair. We gave him my phone to calm him down, which helped. He was playing with it, then the photographer came and my boy got pissed off again. He threw the phone on the ground from about 5 feet up (he was sitting on a stool).

I was ready for it. Picked it up, and not a scratch. The poetic bumper and presumably dbrand skin helped a lot.
[Nexus 4 General] Wisefire:
I dropped mine once off my bed, onto wood floor. Landed on the back. Didn't damage it, all it had was the stock bumper. Yesterday... I dropped it in the kitchen, between where the floor changes from wood to tile, it landed on the riser that covers that section. Bumper flew off, screen is now shattered and the digitizer no longer works. Just ordered a replacement.. Not happy about it, but that's life. First device I've ever broken. Had it since Nov. 16th of last year. Very sad...
[Nexus 4 General] illgodson:
Had one bad one so far, came home from gym and had on track pants I guess you could call them, loose fitting with loose baggy pockets. Soon as I in the door I had to pee super bad so darted up the steps which are hardwood, about 8 steps up it slipped right out of my pocket and did a bounce and tumble all the way back down. Heart stopped lol, had the body glove bumper on it, I was so disgusted I went to the bathroom first anticipating when I got downstairs it would be broke, luckily when I picked it up only a funky little scuff of the case, nothing at all on the phone when I took it out. That was like a month ago and no issues ever since.
[Nexus 4 General] najariner:
Horrible!!

She was in my hands, waist-height. I dropped her when i was closing a door. The door's lower edge had metal on it. So anyway, she slipped outta my hands and I tried to cut the landing with my foot and ended up kicking her into the metal on the door. I did not want to flip her over. She was pristine though. Greatest scare ever...

I put my Nexus 4 on top of my clothes in my work locker. By the time my shift was over, I had completely forgotten about my phone. I then opened my locker and just yanked out my clothes which sent my nexus 4 flying about 7 feet from my locker which was 5 feet high. The phone landed face first and my heart dropped, I carefully lifted it and when I turned it, not a single scratch, mark, or imperfection. I am a lucky son of a *****.

This was when Ubuntu Phone's preview came up. I was one of the first to grab a copy. Downloaded the files and flashed it through adb. Had never used adb in my life. After flashing, the phone is stuck on the Google logo. Waits for 5 mins, still same. Panic really hard. Started to browse all forums - xda, reddit, android authority blah blah for any help. 15 mins passed still stuck on Google logo. Trembling I pick up the Nexus and forcefully power it down. While pressing the power button, my heart beat is so loud that I could hear it. The screen turns off and then powers back on and what I see gives me a stroke.

RED LED OF DEATH.

I had read so many nightmare stories of it and now faced. Suddenly something weird comes. I few glitch like things and then Ubuntu shows. I play Ubuntu for a couple of minutes and then the phone blacks out. Power back up and again the RED LED. Plug the phone into the computer and restore android using mskip's util. NEVER GONNA FLASH UBUNTU.

Post Mortem

So it turns out that during the Google logo a massive battery drain took place. Thats why the red led showed up. Ubuntu didn't have any way to show the battery and that's why it blacked out without any pop-up.

I've had a couple of close scrapes, the most worrying was trying to open my front door whilst balancing phone, shopping and wallet etc between my arm and chest. My phone slipped out and on its way to meet the concrete drive...it seemed like time stood still as I kicked out my foot to cushion the fall.....completely mistimed it and booted my phone and sent it skidding across the drive.

I feared the worst but the case did its job and phone was fine. About a week later I put my phone in same pocket as my throwaway lighter and that gouged a big scratch in my screen :-[
