I bought a pre-owned T-mobile S5 to use on AT&T. I've sim-unlocked it, rooted it, installed CM12 on it. However I keep losing service. This is NOT an AT&T issue, as the tablet sitting next to it is on AT&T and works flawlessly. Do I need to flash a new modem? Or do something else to make this work closer to flawlessly? I already searched the forums and couldn't find anyone with my problem.
Thanks in advance.
Possibly you have to edit the APN settings. I did a small thread on what you need to do to use a Tmobile s5 on AT&T:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/help/tips-using-g900t-att-t2975336
Thanks, I assume when I inserted the sim card, the APN info was loaded, as I've not touched that part, and it's already on my phone. That doesn't seem to be my issue. Any other suggestions?
I've been having the same issue for months. I went back to a stock rom and recently came back to AOSP, but I forgot I was having constant signal drop.

I am having the same issue. Can you tell me what modem/rom are working the best for you? Thanks!
Solution!
My particular solution does require xposed and gravity box module.
I noticed that the cell signal issues only happen when I'm connected to WiFi.
I created a tasker profile that toggles mobile data off when wifi is on and changes the data mode to 3G only. I used the toggle data 5.0 plugin (see for details) in tasker to toggle to change to 3G.

}
I then used the gravity box "change network type" action (see for details) to change network back to LTE and I used the toggle data 5.0 plugin to turn data back on when WiFi is disconnected. I guess this would be the end task?
I took a screenshot a couple hours ago of the result. Not one signal drop in 3 or so hours. I'm no expert in tasker, and these are the exact steps I followed.
I was having a similar issue with CM12.1 on AT&T using the G900T I actually posted on their forums about it: http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/106617-lte-issues-cm12-tmobile/ however it looks like they're has been any resolution..I had no issues running stock, and when I installed BlissPop (CM Based) I had no issues at all.
Thanks for the suggestions. I will try them out.

No you have to edit the Apn often times.

[Q] Find My Phone -> Lock (locked icon)
Does anybody know how to "unlock" locked icon in Find My Phone (https://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/find)? See below.

I told me that phone is locked, but it is not true.
It is unlocked and Find My Phone's "Lock" feature does not work for me.
Thanks.
Remove and readd it
This doesn't tell you that your phone is locked, this gives you the option to lock your phone in case it has been lost or stolen...
Sorry, but you are not right - if I click on this icon, it showed the message that phone is already locked. But it is not true, since I have unlocked it.
I tried it app. week ago and if I need this service again, it will NOT work.
Can you help me?
I am not the only person that has this problem:

2. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...0-930b2cc45d29?page=1&tm=1336933751760#footer
I also had it, removed phone and readded fixed the problem.
Great, thank you very much.
But I think that is an issue/problem - it is not a standard behavior in my opinion.
Does anybody know why it happens?
Thanks.
Removing and Re-adding Works
Thanks, removing the device and re-adding also worked for me. Once you lock the device the symbol will remain, and you can not use the feature again. This is the only workaround I know of.
Strange, but solved.
Close this thread, please.
it relies on your sim card.In a sense,it just lock your tel-number.Once your sim card was out of your phone,it not work.

It locks the phone, does nothing with your telephone number.
deactivated phone
Does anybody know how to remove the deactivation a service provider puts on a phone when due to theft/non-payment/etf? I have a LG P-509 and it was working fine with simple mobile for almost a month then 3 days before payment was due the signal cut off and has an X on it!! I called simple mobile and they reset the service I took off battery and sim and still didnt work...I switched sim to a t mobile sim and it showed bars and got messages and then the signal bars were gone again! I called t mobile and they told me that they blocked it or deactivated it cuz customer did not pay...........does anybody have a solution????
I traded my Galaxy Nexus 32GB for a Note2 and it was rooted. The phone works fine but I am unable to get a 4G LTE signal.
Network Mode was set to Global, I changed to LTE and made no difference. I have also made the changes through the hidden menus.
Any ideas?

What does it say in the "About Phone" section of Settings?
Also, you reference not being able to get 4G LTE signal only. Do you get a data connection at all? (3G, 2G, 1X, etc.)

Ok, that's the current baseband and the latest version of that particular ROM. By your screenshot, I am inferring that your phone has the bootloader unlocked with a custom recovery installed. Have you tried installing another 4.1.2 ROM to see if that fixes the issue?
Also, I know you mentioned that you had already tried the hidden settings menu. When you reached it, did you select LTE/CDMA and see if your setting stayed? Can you post a screenshot of your "Status" screen in Settings? I'm interested in seeing what it lists for "Mobile Network Type".
Under Mobile Netorms
Network Mode
Preferred network mode: cdma/LTE/EVDO
I did a fresh install of this rom
★☞ [Rom] Jelly'Beans' - Build 20 [07/24/13][Aroma][Fully Customizable][I605VRAMC3] ☜★
Same issue
I restored back to stock. Same issue. I wonder if its a hardware issue.

Honestly, it looks like you have a bad radio. If that phone is still under warranty, then ask Samsung for a replacement.
If someone traded a Galaxy Nexus for a Note 2 than something must have been wrong with the Note 2.
Resolved now. It was a bad Sim card. It wasn't a straight trade. I added 90. He said he could not use the phone one handed.

Hey guys,
I just bought a Galaxy Note 2 second hand, and it is having some problems. Right now I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong, something Verizon is doing wrong, or something wrong with the device.
I am 100% stock, with no modifications. I can receive texts, but cannot send them (I get a message saying it will wait for the network to become available to send). I also cannot make calls (I get a similar message).
Here's the kicker though: I have signal. I have several bars of 4G, and am sending / receiving data through the browser, but the SMS / Voice call features of the phone do nothing.
Anyone have any advice? I have tried the following:
Wipe Data / Factory Reset
Reboot
Wipe Dalvik
Shut down, remove SIM card, put SIM card back, reboot
Nothing seems to do anything helpful!
UPDATE: Just browsing around the settings, I found the following in my network settings:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that missing some things?
Did you just activate your service, or start new 4G service? It can take anywhere from a few hours to a full day for all phone functions to work. When I got a new SIM before, data worked almost immediately, but some of the SMS/call related things took a couple hours before they worked properly.

No, I had a Galaxy S3 and simply shut that phone down, took out the SIM, and transferred it to the new phone. Nothing else changed.
Hey, XDA.
I looked around but I couldn't find a similar thread about this.
Back a couple weeks ago, Verizon pushed out the not-so-official-but-it-exists-for-you-to-download VS98523C firmware and I put it on my G3 through the LG Flash tool and it works flawlessly...except for one part...
It seems that when I connect to WiFi, I instantly stop getting push notifications (i.e. no email, WhatsApp, GroupMe, Wunderlist, etc... alerts). But, when I connect back to 4G, I instantly get a barrage of the 'missed' notification from when I was on WiFi.
Also, it's not my WiFi network at home, I've reset my router/AP multiple times, tried different networks, different configurations to no avail.
I was wondering if anyone had the same issue and if there was a fix out there.
If there already is and I still don't know how to read, I'd be more than happy to get a link to it.
Thanks!
Are you living in some type of time warp?

Since the common hidden menu code does not work on our device ( *#*#4636#*#* ), there is another way we must use.
1. Download this app from the Play Store: Force LTE Only (4G/5G)
2. Launch app and choose "METHOD3: (Android 11)"
3. Under Set Preferred Network Type dropdown, select the network type you want.
-- to get 4G/LTE and below, set to "LTE/TDSCDMA/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA"
-- to get 5G, set to "NR/LTE/TDSCDMA/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA"
This was the only way to enable 5G for me since I am in Canada.
Only issue with this is that it may not stick once you reboot. You would have to follow these steps again.
Thanks man. This helped me with my Global variant. It got 5g to kick on when I couldn't see it in the menus.
Update - Found the shortcut keys to get directly to it
*#*#4636#*#*

It didn't work on mine. When I punch in the final *, it just goes to my contact list.
Although the app ForceLTE mentioned earlier by TikiThePug did work perfectly.
I finally get 5G all day long on a T-Mo SIM.
It's such a fast, beautiful phone and now it has all its functionality.

Hey I just started using Verizon coming from Fi. I have an unlocked.pixel 6 from the Google store what should my settings be? I know I need NR but what else or what would work best. I'm on new York it that matters at all.
And I can get to the menu via *#*#4636#*#* I just need to know what would work best for me .
I keep trying to set to NR/LTE/TDSCDMA/GSM/WCDMA ( Only way to get full speed on 5G
for some reason my setting keep resetting to NL/LTE/GSM/WCDMA (Very slow as if running 3G but says 5G)
How do I get my setting to stick Oh I'm on T-Mobile Network

It's always going to set to what your network tells
This menu isn't actually real control
