[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noam_el:
Did anyone ever find a solution for this issue?

My friend has this problem with his Nexus 4.

I've searched A LOT and to this day (half a year later) haven't been able to find someone who reports this problem was solved.

I've also tried every suggestion I could find: flashed every stock image available, tried every combination of stock/custom ROM/recovery/radio, even tried the unbrick method mentioned above.

Nothing helps. I always get the same symptoms:

- Radios 54 and below - no in call audio.

- Radios 83 and above - Baseband unknown, IMEI / IMEI SV unknown, no cellular reception.

Also, RMA is not an option because the people at the store (a) don't know how to fix it and (b) claim the warranty doesn't cover this issue so they won't replace the device.

Any suggestions? I'm willing to try anything... :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oxious119:
Maybe its a simple hardware failure like a loosely connected antenna? It doesn't really seem to be connected to any specific software setup

Something that happens to me rarely: when I'm in an area with very low/no reception sometimes the phone won't reconnect itself again and just stay on no reception until I reboot. Only happens like one or two times a month though.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noam_el:
Thanks, but I really don't think it could be an antenna issue.

I can see how a malfunctioning antenna could cause cellular reception problems, but it shouldn't affect IMEI or Baseband version readings. Those things have nothing to do with the antenna.

Also, the fact that the symptoms change with different radio firmwares says there's a big chance this is a software issue after all.

I just can't figure out what the cause is and how to eliminate it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrFredPhD:
Flash any full factory image. If the problem persists after you can be pretty sure it's hardware. No signal for most of the time and occasionally picking it up could be something as simple as the antenna being unplugged, which can sometimes happen after a drop, or a forgetful repair.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michalhainc:
Guys... mine is signalless too... any progress on this? :crying:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sp99:
Could be a broken or badly connected antenna. They are very fragile. Have a look at how to replace the antenna maybe?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michalhainc:
yup I am waiting for the ordered tools to break into it and look around...

I've opened up lots of my old phones (not my nexus 4 yet) and its normally easy to find and change as it's separate from the motherboard and looks basically like a piece of plastic!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eugenioxx:
I have the same problem no connection but the phone recognize the sim and the number of the phone. I've tryed to return to stock using a factory firmware but I'm not able to fix the problem... (this morning is working fine and my phone never fell down or something like that)

If I open btw the case and try to remove and reinsert correctly the antenna the phone will recognize the signal?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cepillao:
Same issue here

Hello and good day!

I have the same problem here, tried everything, from the "easy fixes" that I could find on the internet to downgrading the device from 4.4.4 to 4.2. and nothing, I know there's a lot of people having the same issues and nothing seems to work for me. Usually I get no signal at all, however I've noticed that in certain places I can get 1 or 2 bars and even get calls and SMS, so I don't think this is a hardware issue.

Has someone found a definite solution to this?

Thanks in advance!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tars00:
Please help

Hello,

Just switched to my first Nexus phone and I'm already having problems. It will only connect to my service provider when I am connected to WiFi. It will randomly connect when I'm off WiFi but never long enough to notice. When I leave WiFi my phone will first show the service indicator with an exclamation mark next to it then suddenly drop the signal from my service provider. I've tried everything and still the same result. This is extremely frustrating because I really wanted to use a Nexus phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jotters:
Hi there,

Same problem here as of today: just very suddenly the signal stopped. I haven't dropped my nexus, didn't install any new apps lately. Only did a zombies run update this morning.

My nexus was a rooted stock 5.1.1. Tried to unroot: no success

Hard reset: no success.

All I get is: "no service: selected network (name) unavailable)".

Service status: unknown

My phone number: unknown

Network Unknown

Signal strength -97dBm 8 asu (I have a tower about 100m from my house)

I'm suspecting a hardware issue. But so sudden... how? :crying:

Also, searching for available networks warms up the back of my phone, it seems.

Edit: Is there any way to see (without opening the case) whether it's a broken antenna?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KutuluKid:
No Service

No service on device for a few hours now. Carrier is MetroPCS and I am wondering if the T-Mobile merger might have something to do with this? I am really hoping this is not a hardware issue.

Scratch that, called MPCS customer service and did a reboot and pulled the sim card out, confirmed sim card number and reinserted and restarted and A-OK! What's weird is a powered down and turned back on just minutes before with no results.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the-blind-bandit:
A while ago I had an HTC one X running viper x rom, this rom had a neat feature of having four sound enhancements when your headphones are plugged-in in the notification area which were Beats, Dolby, SRS, Xloud and none/off. The sound enhancements were great on that rom and that is one of the things I miss the most about it and I wondered if it could be made to work for the sony xperia z or if there is an existing thing similar or the same as this. thanks
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trucifix:
I think the Xperia Z sounds great. I listen to metal and this phone sounds kick @#$ to me. Try these settings if you want, they work for me song after song. I never use the built-in speaker for music, but this sounds good on my headphones and stereo.

Clear Bass +10

Surround Sound (VPT) Studio

Clear Stereo Off

Clear Phase Off

xLOUD Off

Dynamic Normalizer Off

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lemagex:
Well, while it isn't advised to run more than one soundmod at a time, if you install RomAur you can select more than one soundmod (HTC One Beats, PureXaudio) and then flash AC!D soundmod ontop of it all. works nice for me. Also +1 to those equalizer settings, I use a similar setup for metal and it's ****ing niiice.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trucifix:
I quit trying different sound mods back when I had my Galaxy S3. It's horrible sound is what drove me to the Sony Xperia Z, and I have loved how this phone has sounded ever since. (I use it for 90% media player, 10% phone)

Although it does take a little tweaking in the settings to get superb sound, Do you really feel that any of these sound mods improve the sound, and if so, which one(s) would you recommend ?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lemagex:
only ever had good experiences with Purexaudio. there's also an miui rom floating around that has viper sound on it and that's ****in awesome.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lemagex:
Imo the best sound mod i had on my one x was KingBeatz which actually works on pacrom for the xperia z if you go to the htc one x page for it, i asked him to port it but he said it'd work as is, and it did. sounds nice.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the-blind-bandit:
Ok ive done that and i went to put in Trucifix's settings in but its missing alot. Or maybe im doing something wrong

sent from my Sony Xperia Yuga
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trucifix:
Yeah but keep in mind my settings suit my music and my ears, all equalizers need to be fine-tuned per device, person, and music, but, I have tried the xperia z by itself, I tried a couple of the sound mods hear in the past week, and one thing is for sure, on this phone, they are all capable of sounding great, always, with a little tweaking !!!!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the-blind-bandit:
I will but kingbeatz seems to be missing alot of options and i like metal too

sent from my Sony Xperia Yuga
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lemagex:
Could always try my soundmod for the xperia Z, just if you're on 4.3 replace DSP manager with the DSP manager from pac or cm.

should work fine after that, ignore that it says discontinued, i just couldn't be stuffed adding the new dsp manager.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] orlandojumpoff:
So I noticed the older Galaxy Note 10.1 is listed as compatible with the Altec ScreenBeam Pro... I'm wondering if it also works with the newer 2014 edition. Has anybody tried? It seems to work quite well with the Nvidia Shield (Nvidia actually recommends it out of many miracast devices that they've tried. They've even worked with altec to optimize it for the Shield, so I imagine that would also benefit other compatible Android devices): http://www.actiontec.com/products/63.php
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] johnnobts:
it works, have the shield recommended firmware installed on the screenbeam as well. tried drawing and watching google movies with it. no problems.

I have the Rocketfish MiraCast receiver and it works with the Note 2014.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] orlandojumpoff:
Awesome, thanks for the feedback... was beginning to think this was going to go unanswered. Guess it may be time to look into getting a miracast adapter! Thanks again.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] nrage23:
I am also rooted and MiraCast still works. It is a bit more slugish than my Nexus 7.2. Probably because of scaling down since the Nexus is the resolution as the TV. My Nexus 10 was a bit slower as well.

I have the PTV3000 dongle and the note seems to disconnect immediately after connecting to the dongle with this message "unable to start screen mirroring because of a hardware issue".

quick lookups on google seems to indicate it's related to the status being unofficial. I am wondering if you had any similar problems and if I'd appreciate if you can share your workaround if you have any.

Thanks :)

Does using one of these require a Smart TV? thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] mb2k:
Nope, you just need to plug the adapter into an available HDMI port on your tv
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] Doukeyakusha:
oh cool, thank you. Was just a bit confused on that.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] superdookie67:
I've had some luck with the ptv3000 on the 2.4.26 update. YouTube videos and games almost work, but my connection just seems barely too slow to be usable. Pictures and anything else seem to work okay for me. Would the screen beam pro work any better for gaming since I'd seems to be endorsed by nvidia?

Are You using the built in screescreen Mirror app

Are you using the screen mirror in the settings or a third party app

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toolmanz:
I have a TF300T I just received and am trying to get this thing going. I have had a number of these devices and can't seem to solve this problem.

To me it sounds like a hardware problem.

I have unlocked the bootloader, installed latest ROM from ASUS and installed TWRP 25.0 as the recovery. Go into TWRP no screen problems works great even if I leave it for a while.

If I let it boot normally - it goes through the normal boot up procedure and arrives at the lock screen. Here is where it gets weird.:silly:

If I unlock (move finger to the right) and go into anything like settings or file manager or any app - or just leave it without doing anything - the screen I was working with goes away and I get a bunch of uniform vertical lines. If you leave the vertical lines long enough - the unit shuts down.

Sounds like a hardware problem. Graphics board or display? Any thoughts welcome.

Cheers

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graphdarnell:
Any chance you can hook it up to a TV/monitor through HDMI to see if you can replicate the problem there? Graphics are embedded in the CPU. But if it's bad, it wouldn't show anything to begin with. This is not heat-sensitive in that it either works or it don't. I'd suspect something else, but there's no way to find out except by the process of elimination.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] goofball2k:
Screens are pretty much equal, can call this equal.

To me, it's a bit moot. They aren't for the same platform, so it's not necessarily more cores is better, or more advanced cores. It's all in how the software uses it.

Clearly, you are not being completely subjective, as expected.

Free in Android but ad-supported. The problem I find with Android is there aren't nearly as many tablet-optimized apps as I expected there would be, this late into the game. Many are still stretched phone apps, sadly.

iOS is way better for kids games, imo, than Android is. The quality of the kids games on iOS is much farther ahead.

Sure does, when you buy the iPad mini with cellular

Definitely, too much of a price difference to compare with here. Nexus wins this.

True but we're talking 32grams weight difference here. That's almost negligible really.

Fair enough, the ipad mini is about 0.7 inches wider than the N7. If that matters that much, but it's not as big a difference between the 2 as your image is trying to show

iOS doesn't "truly multitask" but the iPad mini has at least 1GB RAM, and iOS has always been the standard by which OS "responsiveness" and "fluidity" is measured.

It's not necessarily that Nexus 7 is clearly better than iPad mini either. It really depends on what the person wants from the tablet.

Your points are clearly looking for things that you like about the N7, and that's fair and all. But being honest about the differences, and not skewing them to suit your view, is really what "fair" is about.

Different devices, different prices, different target consumers, imo. The price is a big factor in that, as is the ecosystem.

We can just simply enjoy our devices, no need to try to convince ourselves that we made the right choice, whichever that may be. :good:

First, do you have any source for the release of kit kat? There hasn't been anything official about the release of it at all... So that's already reducing your credibility.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] NovaSlim:
I find Nexus 7 preferable because the weight(mini retina have a huge battery and is going to weigh more than old mini as a result), width (Mini is too wide imo),aspect ratio(Ipad's 4:3 stinks for HD video contents), price( Nexus 7 is $180 cheaper) & Android.

But if you are looking for a 4:3 tablet then you have no choice but Ipads.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] NsZebra:
ipad is not a bad tablet. but, when compared to the nexus 7 , it's difficult to get an ipad since n7 is like the half of the ipad price.

and, if kitkat get's that "boost" with gpu optimization, apps optimization (in november every android tablet will get this via play store) , RAM optimization,etc.. will be amazing, much more amazing than a $600 ipad mini 2.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] swisstourist:
Right. The kitkat will be ready for thanks giving or right before.

They need it to boost n7 sells.

I'd love to hear how you quantify "ahead." Not that life is a race, but in terms of things like personal freedoms, over population, economy, etc.. I disagree in a very large way.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] msavic6:
