Hey ya, same to me here. Now I am deeply desperate for this issue. Try to flash the ROM, fix it with SEUS but seems nothing can help.

I think our antenna is broken but where it's located? I'm trying to google it but I could only found LT36H Antenna Board

BTW, back to your question,

You cannot enter to fastboot with Bootloader unlocked allowed:No.

If you check with Flashtool>BLU(Beside the Lightning), your device still unlocked but SONY DO NOT ALLOW YOU TO ENTER THE FASTBOOT WITHOUT NETWORK OR SIGNAL which is what you mentioned: I get "Emergency Calls Only" or "No service."

Let's hope it's not the hardware issue, I'm trying to google the solution. If I solved it, I will reply you soonest.

Meanwhile, you also try to search for alternative solution.

But i unlocked bootloader with sony site and my fastboot worked well . But now :/

Flashtool says that i have unoffical bootloader unlocked :( But i unlocked the phone with the Offical way ( Sony site)

Thanks , I am searching too .
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sky202_how89:
It's because you got no network or signal, same as mine.

Keep it up! Let's work together!

I have the same issue. After flashing stock firmware "Xperia acro S_LT26w_6.2.B.1.96_PCT.ftf" with flashtool "flashtool-0.9.19.1-windows" phone got SIM card issue.

Was trying to reflash several times with older firmware versions but the result is still the same. Phone see network provider list but can't register. WiFi is working.

Same probs

I've same problems with my SXS and some people advise to flash SO-03D_6.0.A.5.12_Docomo FW which is Acro S. Has anyone tried that FW to fix the Sim card issue?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Tale.talibov:
İ tried SO-03D_6.0.A.5.12_Docomo.ftf but it did't help me :(

Tried, failed as well...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nightracer:
With this firmware issue still present. Only get different message: "No SIM card ccould be recognized and the phone can only be used offline, with Wi-Fi, and for emergency calls."

Also with this firmware Baseband version is Unknows, so modem driver didn't match for the LT26W hardware.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] berda77:

Has any of you exclude or uncheck some item before flashing that FW? I mean there are a couple of guys succeeded with such an issue. They advise to do the following:

Latest Update,

XAS Antenna is attached with motherboard. If the caused is the HARDWARE ISSUE, the WHOLE Motherboard that gonna changed. (Previously I thought it was the flex cable ribbon - Power, Volume, Camera)

I tried to open the whole thing, this is how it's looks like. ↓↓

The network or signal issue most probably caused by the Baseband, I assume.

Re

If everyone here in this post flashed their phones with Flashtool 0.9.19.x version, then congrats my friends, we're all become owners of bricked phones with no network signal. Flashtool 0.9.19.x versions have sript error which replaces original Ta partition leading to unlocked bootloader to become locked and loss of network signal. If you're guys haven't backuped your Ta partition prior to bootloader unlocking then that's all.

As i understand, there are localisation IDs and keys. Can someone with working phone take dumps of this address and share?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] berda77:
Re

I also asked questions about 07DA in other relative forums and was replied like every phone's TA partitions and data in it is unique and replacing that with a one from another Xperia S phone can completely brick our mobiles.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nightracer:
I made several tries with manually composed 07DA value. Without any results. Also phone was broken by foreign value, so we can try ti compose. Only if there is unique phone key which impact on modem activation ....

is there a way to do this on a locked, unrooted phone?

The T-Mo stock choices are awful and annoying.
[T-Mobile LG G4] atcwoody:
I have had very good luck with an app called Ringdroid. You can use any recording/song you'd like, select the portion of the song you want to use and save it as a ringtone. It can then be used as your default ringtone or you can make custom ringtones per caller(s).
[T-Mobile LG G4] metropical:

You can put audio file in /sdcard/Ringtones and restart the phone.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trifixion1:
Hello all,

I have faced issues with the Wifi on my OPO since the day I got it. I researched a lot about it and found out that it's a problem faced my a lot of OPO users. Just to summarize the problem: The Wifi connects but after a few minutes (in sleep and sometimes even when the phone is in use) the data transmission stops. The Wifi icon shows that it is connected but you can't access the internet.

I had this problem on the 11s and when I read 12s had solved the problem I moved to 12s. But the problem still persists. Here are the things I have already done:

Wifi in sleep - Always

Restored factory settings

Installed app WifiKeepAlive

Installed 12s (15th Aug build)

I have seen a lot of posts but haven't seen a resolution in them. Appreciate if someone could help out.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thymo:

I'd there an updated version of Google play services? Seems to be draining battery?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myriad46:
I was interested too. I wanted to update to Android Pay, but it requires the next version of Play Services. I looked on APKMirror, but no play services with our suffix (440).

But, as it turns out, there is a new naming scheme, which means we're looking for 240 instead of 440. See http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...lipop-devices-and-more-apk-teardown-download/

Just loaded it up and it appears to work fine. It initially threw an error for Android wear, but after few seconds, it cleared and I was able to install Android Pay.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] picachux:

I updated my Google Play Services and I recently started getting a message in Google Fit that Activity Detection is off. I click on it and it acts like it will take me somewhere and it never does.

Any ideas?

Can I reinstall Location Services somehow?

Can I downgrade back to whatever version of Google Play Services that came on the phone?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mxpxboi:

I got it fixed renaming the com.google.android.gms-8.1.15_(2250156-240)-8115240-minAPI21.apk to GmsCore.apk and replacing the one in /system/priv-app/GmsCore/GmsCore.apk

And of course changing the permissions to match the one that was in there. I then rebooted and then it let me install the com.google.android.gms-8.1.15_(2250156-240)-8115240-minAPI21.apk

That restored my Google Location Services!

Make sure to install Google Play Service apk's that are meant for your device!
[LG Optimus G Pro] edekalil:
Where can it be found?
[LG Optimus G Pro] edekalil:
Found and installed. Now just have to figure how to get into recovery?
[LG Optimus G Pro] ShadySquirrel:
1) If you have ADB, connect, allow adb and adb reboot recovery

2) Hardware key combo: Volume Up & Power until LG screen appears, then Volume Down twice, then Power (yeah, looks like game cheat code but it really works)
[LG Optimus G Pro] edekalil:
I thought I had the drivers loaded because I could see my phone in explorer but I must not have the drivers loaded.now how can I find the adb drivers and how do I set them up? Every time I think I am getting somewhere I get thrown way back again. All I want to do at this time is reload the firmware so I can access the ext sd card witch was lost while trying to root and install cwm. I am about to throw this **** aginest the wall wall that way this will be fixed for good.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ShadySquirrel:
Use LGUnifiedDriver, it should install both adb and LG drivers
[LG Optimus G Pro] edekalil:
Where can I get a clean download of it? I am running windows 8.1 . I do have a pc with windows xp as well just havent used it in a while.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ShadySquirrel:
LG's support site I think, I still use old version, from first time I've flashed something via LGFlashTools.. You can download that and LG Support Tool from there too.
[LG Optimus G Pro] edekalil:
I have the lg support tool installed as well as the lg pc suite and lg flash tool. I will give it a shot using the lgunifidedriver. I wonder when I origanly tring to root and install cwm and then lost the ability to access the ext sd and not being able to boot into recovery. Could it have made my phone not recognizably? I can see the phone in win explorer when plugged in. The pc does not recognize it in device manager. It says it has no drivers.

Other than that the phone works normal (makes calls,receives calls,and such.).
[LG Optimus G Pro] ShadySquirrel:
That sounds like Windows problem more. You don't have any of those all-in-one driver packs for Android devices installed? How did you root it?
[LG Optimus G Pro] edekalil:
Well I read to use lg support tools to install drivers then used geefree app to root checked with root checker witch said it was rooted ok then used gprorecovery.apk to put cwm on it. Witch said it installed sussfully. After I had it done I noticed I could not access the ext sd card nor boot into cwm. I read on anouther android forum about a felle who had the same issues and someone said the geefree app caused the issues with the ext sd and not booting into recovery.the phone all works fine except for the issues. I figured if I could return back to stock 4.4.2 witch it is on now it should be back to stock and I could try again from the beginning. I also read something about not using a 3.0 usb in windows 8.1 to use a 2.0 usb port. I'll have to see what usb port is what on my laptop. I hope this is all making sense.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ShadySquirrel:
Return it back to Jellybean if possible, use old Jellybean root metod available in the forums, install Freegee and flash TWRP from there, and later update it to newer TWRP on forums. Freegee is a step you can't avoid because it's the only way we can unlock our phones (that I know), and their TWRP doesn't support SDCard (not sure about CWM, but I think it also had that problem, it was long time ago I've used it). E980 can get a bit shady, but it's a great phone, so don't lose your patience yet.
[LG Optimus G Pro] edekalil:
Thanks for the info. I belive I have the drivers installed now, I can see the phone in the device manager of windows and it looks to be good. I will keep you informed as to how it go's.
[LG Optimus G Pro] edekalil:
Well I got the drivers loaded last night and dod tht lg flash tools tot program to put it back to 20g rather than 20h. Got root and installed cwn just need to see what it takes to get philz if so the first time it did not take. Anyway all is working except my xda apps. Other than that all is good so far as soon as I can figuer and get the phillz working I will search for some roms to put on it. The problem wsa the loose nut behind the steering wheel. I had the phone plugged into a 3.0 usb not a 2.0 and my IT friend helped me with how to deal with windows 8.1 so now I am sorry for all of my aggrovating all with my crazy rantting. So Thanks to all for putting up with me. And thanks to youSquirl man.

Howdy,

I discussed with one of my old friend which was he called me an idiot when I brought it up the Shield Android TV has more powerful GPU provide 256 cores and 8 cores CPU then He said "Not about hardware. Features blew everything plus 10k app ready." then I puzzled what he said features and 10k apps blows Shield Android TV's features and apps.

I know the Android apps has more countless just like Apple's AppStore (similar Google Play), I wanted to know and hear from your opinions. I encouraged him do adult smart conversation instead calling me an idiot and I provided all the features what the Shield Android TV capable. I have not hear from his making a point of what the features that he is trying tell me.

I assume Apple TV don't allowed custom ROM, I double checked Shield Android TV does have custom ROM which is more freedom choice than Apple TV gives.

@#$%! :confused::rolleyes:

You can't run Kodi or any emulators on an Apple TV, which are two of the main reasons I bought a Sheild TV. However there's no point having a "discussion" with an Apple fanboy mate. Just enjoy your shield. :good:

One key for me is the Shield TV supports 4k and the Apple TV does not.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baileyjr:
Yes I forgot about that. 4k Netflix is a big plus for people with 4k TV's .
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeptic_always:
In my experience, when an Apple fanboy says it's not about hardware it's because the apple product in the comparison has inferior hardware. You can be certain that if the Apple product had better hardware that would be right at the top of why it's better. You could point out the feature differences, 4k, Kodi support, Grid, gamestreaming, emulators, expandable storage, etc. but their fall-back position will be about ease of use and UI design. Not that it's better, but it's opinion based not quantifiable fact so they can't be proven wrong. Here is a link to a heavily biased comparison chart (note, no mention of optical spdif, iTunes, etc.): http://shield.nvidia.com/android-tv/shield-androidtv-vs-appletv-vs-roku-vs-firetv

Apple has two huge advantages over nVidia that can't be discounted: A loyal (fanatic?) fan-base, and they are a marketing juggernaut. The latter has a lot to do with the former.

edit: almost forgot one other important thing - the AppleTV is cheaper.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baileyjr:
The other thing they have in their favor is that with the locked down ecosystem and hardware its pretty much impossible for the average user to break their OS. Lets remember that the "average" user is an bl00dy idiot. I'm sorry to say I still recommend Macbooks, iphones, ipads and the like to friends and family who are technologically illiterate. I've had them all in my time, but being an avid "tinkerer" I much prefer to run windows/android/linux, thankfully if I break something I can usually fix it even if it does require a fresh flash/install of the OS (and I've been threre a few times lol)

So I would say to your mate "if you are technologically illiterate the Apple TV is absolutely the right choice" :)
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeptic_always:
Isn't that kinda the case with Android devices as well, including the Shield? Android devices are not nearly as locked down, but the technologically illiterate average user isn't going to be side-loading apps let alone running a custom rom or rooting their device.

You may disagree, but I do not consider a locked down ecosystem/hardware to be an advantage in any way. A more open environment allows for choice. Stick with the supported, stable, safe functionality or play and tinker knowing you may break stuff.

Specs don't matter when it comes to the cult.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baileyjr:
No I personally do not consider it to be an advantage but it "can be perceived" an advantage to the technologically illiterate masses. Same as your average person running windows. They will have installed a load of toolbars and have buckets full of malware on their machine. Give them a mac and they are far less likely to pick up viruses and malware, simply because they are not targeted at mac users so much. Its can be perceived by the end user as an advantage because all they are concerned about is their machine/device running smoothly.

To be honest, I don't think ATV vs nSATV is a fair comparison. nSATV >>>> ATV and Apple fans will (justifiably) point to the price difference and (justifiably) claim the nVidia device is intended for a different higher-end market. The real competitor for the new AppleTV is going to be the new FireTV which is expected to be announced around the end of the month and Android TV devices like the Nexus player and Razer Forge TV.

AppleTV vs. Shield ATV in terms of specs and apps

If you have checked set-top-box comparisons, the shield beats appleTV and other boxes especially in terms of specs. That directly affects what kind of applications you can install on your device.

For instance, the shield has 2 usb ports while appleTV still has non. In addition to all other things you can do with a usb port, the shield also has UVC camera support and great video encoding/decoding power. This enables using the big TV screen for video calling. There is already a video calling application for AndroidTV on google play called "Tellybean - Easy video calling" and it works perfectly on my Shield Android TV.
