Low Signal after flashing - HTC Incredible S

Guys I flashed a custom rom...rcmix3d on my incredible s....the rom works perfectly and eveything is fine except the phone's signal is getting low...what can i do to fix this problem? i appreciate ur help

Flash the latest radio.

3805.09.03.27 is the latest. But the latest is not the best. Please try every radio to get the higher radio rate and the best battery life.

okay guys but i don't know about radios...can u help...with link if u may

I saw this link millions of times but i don't know how to do this...with what terminal?
btw the radio 3805.09.03.27 mentioned above is not present in this thread...
look I wanna ask something in addition...the mobile internet I'm subscribed to was working fine until today..im not able to connect suddenly, I called the telecom company and they couldn't help...tried so many stuff like wiping cache and checked all the settings...nothing worked...can u help?

place the radio files inside a zip file named "PG32IMG.zip" and put it on the root of your sd card. Than restart your phone into boot loader (make sure your phone is charged 30% or more) and it will automatically flash your new radio for you. After its done restart and delete the file from your sd card. Your data connection could be messed due to the radio version you have. If your connection fails to work install a different Rom.

no connection with my sgs, please help! URGENT

Hi there, i have a really annoying and strange problem with my Galaxy s.
the phone can not establish connection with my simcard, wich means i cant call, text, or receive and calls or text messages. the simcard works good in my old htc hero and my xperia x10, and other simcards work fine in my galaxy too..
the phone seems to discover the card because it asks me for the pin code and it shows it has connection in the status bar.. but it never shows the gprs/3g/h icon anymore.. though i can connect to the internet with my phone.. and sometimes in the status bar it shows a little r (wich means roamin i guess) but i have roaming switched off in the settings.. wtf is happening ?
when i was on darkys 8.0 and 8.1 i had no problems, but when i upgraded to 9.0 the hell came loose :/ right now i am on the stock xwjs3 samsung firmware with no root or any other customizations.. everything is stock. what do you think is the problem? i had a thread started in a swedish android forum, and nobody could help me, so you guys are my last hope.. what the hell is wrong here ?
edit: i forgot telling that i can browse the web with my phone with no problems, but it doesnt show me any 3g/h/gprs icons when data active..
Try to go tommorow to your TELE2 provider store in Sweden, and ask for a new SIM card.
If that doesn't help, go back to darky's v8.0.
For example,
i'm also on TELE2 in Croatia, i have done the upgrade on darky's v9.0 no-wipe with lagfix turned on.
All of my APN settings stayed same, i can connect to the internet, really no issues.
Can u try the no-wipe version?
i have already aksed for a new sim card, but i dont think that would help.. because my sim card does work.. with every other phone i tryed, but not with my own
when i flashed darkys i did everything exactly like it said in description, 8.0 wipe > 8.1 nowipe > 9.0 nowipe
my apn settings are also left there in the settings, and when i check the info about the phone it says connected to sweden 3g (wich is tele2 3g in sweden) and it discovers pretty good signal, the problem is that i cant sms or call, or receive any of those either.. it says connected but not active.
Well it looks like, nothing is wrong with your SGS...in the hardware meaning.
Your 3G/H icons will only be displayed when you have internet traffic active.
And check your SMS settings and call barring options.
If that doesn't work, you can go back to v8.1
but the phone doesnt show the 3g/gprs/h icon even when i have data traffic active..
that is the only think working btw.. i can surf the web with my phone but it doesnt show the connection icons.. and the call barring options are all ok.
Well...you can always go back to v8.0
have tryed.. no luck
LOL...then put back in the stock firmware, then go to your providers store, and ask for new SGS
right now i am on stock firmware actually.. and if i cant find any other solution i will probably use the warranty..
good luck )

Nothing new you put on Darkys rom and its buggered up your phone join the big crowd .
Have you tried asking Darky .
Your only solution is a complete wipe of internal sd card system and data .
Install a stock Eclair and see if it works .
Otherwise darky bricks are priced at 150 dollars .

Ok i will try this, but why eclair? any reason for that ?
Thats what the phone was built with so less complications when something is wrong i find .Upgrade after if phone works OK or even take the chance to official upgrade via Kies Registry Patcher and save your official rom .

Same symptoms, tried using two different simcard from Tele2, one Chess and one Telenor (All in Norway). Ive tried flashing different ROMs (came with t-mobile branding and Android 2.1) and updating to Froyo, Rooting, everything.. dont know what to do next, the phone is unlocked everything..
Somebody please help, I dont have the warranty :`(

Can´t use simcard: `emergency only`

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 for 3 years now. I flashed different roms and did root my phone in all these years. But... now i received a new sim card which works well in other phones but NOT in my ace. So that must be a problem with my ace.. I just flashed back to the stock rom (XEN - Netherlands S5830XENKS1) via ODIN but the problem is still there, i can't use my sim-card: "Emergency only".
I already wiped data and cleared cache, hard reset... nothing works. What could i try to have my phone back working with sim card so i can call, sms and use my dataplan. My phone have no simlock i checked and the IMEI is also the right. The one shown by #06# is the same as printed behind my battery. I also received a new sim card from my provider, but this one also has the same problem.
I hope you guys can help me out! :good::good::good:
UPDATE 1: I tried differend sim cards in the phone. I always used to have T-Mobile as provider. All other simcards are not working, theyre showing up for a few seconds and after that it says: Emergency calls only. When i put in a T-Mobile sim card the provider keeps displayed, so it looks like my phone only works with a t-mobile card. But it's not sim locked, because i also used differend sim cards before..
UPDATE 2: Now my simyo simcard also connects and i can sms, call and internet. But after a few seconds/minutes again the message: Emergency calls only
WHAT COULD THIS PROBLEM BE??!!??! Strange.............. I really hope someone can help me out this

I think your device has a problem to make contact with sims cards, so your device have a trouble accessing read and use sim cards... You can send your device to the support service, to check or try to fix it...Have your warranty still in effect?

Hello, thanks for your reply! No, my warranty is not active anymore. My phone is 3 years old. Today i went to another city and could call and sms the whole day. No internet. When i came home, i received again the message: emergency only. How strange.. I also could'nt find a good rom or firmware to flash back my phone to the full original software and firmware... Can someone help me on that? I need the newest firmware for the samsung galaxy ace s5830, netherlands version. Or maybe a custom rom which is the most used and stable version. I would like to exclude software reasons, so it might be a hardware problem. But i think it's a software fault cause of the different roms i tried on the phone.

Always when you'll change your custom rom do the 3 wipes to leave your device as clean as possible
Thanks for your fast reply! I did this firmware already yesterday and also wiped dat and cache + recovery... The problem keops showing up I will try this same firmware again and let you know if there are changes or not.

You can also flash whatever fw you want from EUROPE, because your device is unlocked in order to check your sim's trouble

Again flashed the original firmware to my Ace. Wiped data and cleared cache. Everything works..... Except... the simcard. Can't call, can't sms and can't make an internet connection. So, still the same problem. The sim works well in another phone, and another simcard in the Ace gives also "Emergency call only". So it HAS to be something with my phone. Someone any idea's i can try / check now i'm very sure it's a phone problem with original new flashed firmware? I hope it's not an hardware defect......... how can i check?
UPDATE: The only simcard which works well is a T-Mobile prepaid simcard. All other simcards sometimes shows up, but most of the time not. The more strange fact is today: I went to another city and was able to call and sms the whole day. But no internet. When i came home, i received again the message: emergency only. This is so strange and makes me very sad. The phone is simlockfree, WHAT COULD IT BE So strange............
Tomorrow i had internet connection, could call and sms. My provider was shown on the screen and nothing wrong. But unfortunately just for a few minutes... No stable connection.
Someone any idea? :crying:
I too faced this problem once.....What I did is that I just formatted the system , wiped data , cache , sd ext and dalvik cache and then restored a backup of my earlier ROM in which the Sim was working ! And it was fixed....

Thanks for your reply! I did your trick but unfortunately... It did'nt help. Very interesting thing is, while i'm traveling around there is no problem, but as soon as i stop driving and walk around, the problems are back. Someone any idea on this strange problem? :crying:
cant access sim
until now this is problem...
why they cant fix this important setting
better to back to stock rom.
is does all are working
yeah CM's are good but still
many bugs and error
like this one.
not STK, sim contact save
and show in contact app
i hope they fix this one asap
You dont have any choice other than visiting the service centre. Yes they may charge you a good amount but seems none of the methods are working.
Also try contacting your service provider maybe thay know the exact reason.

weird problem + need some help

I don't know if any one of you have encountered this before but here's what happened
I installed a new rom and my network lock came back
so I installed galaxys_unlock + busy box to unlock my phone again.
the phone gets unlocked and signal does seemingly work.
now here's the problem.
my sim card + plan can go on internet. but for some reason when I try to go on the internet it doesn't work.
I clicked on mobile network on my phone and what shows up was this message of "insert SIM card to access network service"
which really confuses me because I can actually make phone calls.
If anyone has any solutions please let me know. I'll be more than happy to try it.
Is it even normal for my n7000 to lag so much and have so many problems? I feel like I spend more time trying to fix it than actually enjoying it.
1 Try restock to see if problem from rom side or hardware
2 Reinstall new rom, make sure file downloaded match md5 (might be corrupt dl) and follow instructions
3 Update latest proven stable kernel for that rom
4 If else fail try diff rom or restock
Good luck

What does restocking mean???
Restock = basically back to original official stock firmware of the rom (non moded ics/jb based).
Also good idea to state your rom that you use, carrier etc, hopefully other user of that same rom can guide you?
I think you need to put the settings for internet access back in

[Q] Razri - JellyAOSP 1.2 ROM and data only via wi-fi

Razr i XT890 JB - Bootloader was successfully unlocked and installed JellyAOSP 1.2
Now can only access data through wi-fi but can use the dialler.
Any help to solve this much appreciated.
Hi,
You should first check your APN configuration.
If your configuration is ok, then you should ask the rom dev if it's a known issue or not.

Many thanks Ciberbeb for replying.
I have entered and saved the correct APN settings so can send and receive calls.
It is only data via mobile network [wifi ok] that is the problem.
I can't post on Dev pages as I'm a noobie.
You're welcome
Actually, configuring your APN is needed to be able to use data over the mobile network.
You can check your mobile provider for a particular configuration for android.
That's all I can tell...
I may take a screenshot of my configuration but it's specific to my country and operator.
Thanks Ciberbeb
My provider confirmed the correct APN details and they're saved - which is presumably why I can make and receive calls. Same details worked in my HTC for calls and data whereas this one onnly accepts wi-fi.
You're welcome
Alright, so that's weird ...
And does it work if you restore an nandroid of your original rom ?
If yes, then this may be a ROM issue, and you should contact the ROM cooker.

Thanks Ciberbeb for your thoughtful help.
I made the most basic error and didn't back up original ROM [and Moto not much help].
Now ditching the phone and back to old HTC
Really appreciated your input. Thanks
Ahh ! Always perform a nandroid backup prior to flashing !!
You should know this
Anyway, you can use RSD Lite to restore the original Moto rom.
I however don't really know the procedure, so you best read these topics:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974568 for basics on Moto tools
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239706 for original firmwares
Take care with the tools, you're bootloader is unlocked, don't brick your phone!
You can try another rom as well, to confirm if it's a rom issue or not.
You can now push the thanks button
EDIT: You may try a factory reset before anything else. Did you wipe cache/data before flashing JellyAOSP?
Thanks Ciberbeb
Yes, not backing up was a huge mistake but not had any probs before so didn't this time.
Will look carefully at the links you've kindly found and have nothing to lose now so will try anything [well almost!].
Factory reset hasn't worked and Moto weren't helpful with software [understandabe really I suppose].
Did try two other ROMS [completely wiping system before each one] but they didn't install. Perhaps I've a rogue phone... or just a rogue user. LOL
Hitting Thanks... with much gratitude!
What's your problem, again? You don't have mobile network, like edge, h, 3g? If that's the case you need to set proper apns or get apns-conf.xml from another rom you know brings the ones you need. But it has nothing to do with making calls or sending texts, that's a signal thing.

Thanks Anerik for replying [and a brilliant ROM that is fast and clean].
My only problem was not being able to get data via 3G.
I manually entered the usual configs through the APN menu and saved it. When this didn't work I requested a new sim card [in case micro to nano was causing the issue] but the provider texted the apn installation file through for the new sim and I still have the same prob with no data in the Razri except through wifi.
This was the only ROM that installed cleanly and quickly so it is probably something stupid that I've done!
To save your time I'll clarify the following:
The bootloader procedure was successfully and cleanly executed.
The Root Checker confirmed this.
JellyASOP on SD card was installed easily on a fully wiped phone as your instructions.
No problem anywhere else when in wifi mode.
Thanks for your time and patience

Did you do all the correct wipes? Try reinserting the sim, it could automatically insert the proper apns. Tried changing places to see if it's not a location thing? This never happened to anyone on my rom, im sorry i dont have a solution

Have tried reinserting sim and done a manual apn input. Will try location suggestion 2mrw.
Am sure it isn't your ROM and beginning to think it's a Motorola fault as I went down the rooting process because the phone wouldn't read a sim [which I think is a common fault].
Hitting thanks and just sorry it didn't sort out my Razri cos is a great prog you've written.

GT I9305 on Omni rom not recognizing UMTS sim cards

Long time omnirom user here with an issue I cannot find a fix for.
In my country there's a cell operator called RCS-RDS that has always had very good rates and unlimited 3g internet but, up until recently, very bad coverage. I have used 2 sim cards from this operator whenever I was in their coverage area for years now without a problem.
Last month RDS, has signed a national roaming agreement with VODAFONE so that you can use their network for service whenever you're outside RDS's coverage area. To use this national roaming service however, I had to replace the sim cards I had from RDS with new ones which, they say, operate in the UMTS 2100 band. I've checked the I9305's specs, and that band should be supported without a hitch.
Problem is however, that if I try to use either of the 2 sim cards, the phone gives me a no sim card error message and will behave as if there's no sim in the phone.
I'm using the radio recommended by mccamblesmith, the I9305 omni rom developer, in the omni rom development thread, and I have tried flashing every radio I could find, from the newest 4.4 radios to some very old 4.3 ones, but no change, and I've tested the two sim cards on other phones, including an S4, a beat up old Allview, an even older and more beat up Huawei U1220 and a 3G USB dongle, and both sims worked flawlessly on all of those.
I've also tried getting help on omnirom's irc channel, but the place is dead.

it seems the issue is not modem related but i think its related with the roms settings you applied but dont know what exactly. all i can say is make a nandroid backup to external sd of current rom and flash back your official stock firmware with odin, root and install recovery and flash omni again, then try the sim cards again. if it does not work you can always restore the nandroid backup from recovery.
i hope this helps

Due to a HDD failure a while ago, I no longer have the nandroid or the stock rom I saved from before I CFW'd the phone. Would changing to something like SlimROM or the likes help?

well you can always make a nandroid backup at any time in recovery mode, you know that right? cant tell if changing CFW will help but you can try it..
Edit: if i were you, i would make backup and put anything else important in internal or external sd to my pc temporary and wipe everything system/caches/dalvik/internal memory and then flash another custom rom or flash back omni again

I know I saw a de-knox-ed stock 4.3 a while back, but can't find it again, would you happen to know anything about it?

Here you go, download mod 7 and flash with odin maybe you will need to flash the custom recovery of your choice over again and then you can flash the supersu update zip in my odin guide (in my signature) to get root acces.

Yes, every other sim card i've tried works perfectly. These 2 UMTS sims are the only cards it won't accept.
