BUG - No signal untill reboot - RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I've been working in an area where the signal is very unstable.
Every once in a while the signal disappears, no network connection at all, fails if i try to manually pick a network.
That's happened in the past with other android phones, but usually setting Airplane mode off and then on would fix it.
With this phone the only way to get the network back is rebooting the phone. I must have rebooted it like 5 times today.
Has this happened to anyone else? I was hoping JB would fix it but it didn't.

Hi there,
I´m in an low signal situation too, at work in the office. The razr i is the first phone with very stable and good signal, compared to Galaxy S, S2, HTC One S and Galaxy Nexus. If I loose signal while walking, it is restored very fast as soon as I am closer to a window. So I think something is wrong with your device.

It happened again a few minutes ago:

This is what happens when I try to manually pick my network:

yes that hapen mee to. only solution reboot

Have you tried turning it off and on again Just kidding, you can try to do a factory reset from the recovery, maybe it helps. If not, I would try to get a new device, because this behavior is not ok.
What happens if you go outside or in an area where the signal is good? Do you get signal without rebooting?
Btw, with -71dB you should have a really good signal. At my workplace I have about -90dB with full bars and edge.

It's weird 'cause it's not actually low signal. Sometimes I have full bars but no internet, so it just keeps switching between E, H and H+. This happened with my iPhone in the same area. ****ty network.
If I stay at home where the network is usually ok I don't get this bug. Never happens at home.

Problem with HSDPA signal (3G as well...)

I've tried to look for a solution in XDA but I haven't found any...
I'm using an italian ROM (T.I.R. 6.0) based on AT&T build.
I was using my phone without any problem, with full HSDPA signal everyday.
Today, after a call it stopped to get the HSDPA signal...
If I switch the 3G signal off from the CommManager it takes G signal and everything works well...
I don't really know what it can depend on...
I'm not the only one who is having this problem. Another italian guy with the original ROM has the same problem. So I think it depends on one software I've installed on my kaiser... but I don't really know why it started to have this problem now. I was only calling, and doing nothing more than this.
These are the software which are installed on my kaiser:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Can it depend on KaiserTweak??? I was reading about people having some problems related with it, but I'm not sure...
I had this problem another time in the past, and I solved it by reflashing the ROM.
Hope someone can help me.
Ciao!
Make a little search on the forum about 3G signal problems, and you'll find things like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335074
Some Kaisers (apparently quite a few according to the number of people asking about it every week...) have defective hardware, and the radio will fail with just those symptoms at some random point. Only cure is to send the device back for repair. Mine went through that too. Firstly the device won't work on 3G anymore, only EDGE, then eventually the radio will fail completely and not find any network anymore.
Of course it's not the only reason for 3G problems, but a frequent one... so what you'd want to do to find out if it's your case is the following:
Try a hard reset, as you say you already solved the problem once it might be enough and would mean your hardware is OK, then if it's no help maybe try a different ROM, including radio version, if it still doesn't work you'll have no choice but sending your device back to service center.
And someone should make a sticky out of that too, it must be the 10th time I post it...
Thank u for ur answer. I swear, I had a look on the forum, but u can imagin between so many 3ds how difficult it can be to find something really interesting concerning this problem.
In the evening I'll have a look to the 3d u posted.
If there is someone who has some ideas on what is going on and has solved the problem without sending the ppc to HTC, please, help me!
Thanks again!

[Q] no 3g/ H only wireless for data

Hi all,
This is for my phone in my sig...........
I have noticed since yesterday that when I am outside my wireless router area, or if I disable my wi-fi, I don't get 3G or H icon on my statusbar up top. It used to show up before yesterday.
I checked my friend's bone stock G1 right beside mine, and he his picking up either 3G or H.
I try an app that uses data without wifi, and it doesn't connect.
I checked the "use only 2G", but it was already unchecked. I tried restoring the apn to default, I tried doing network operator search and selected "rogers"
Still nothing,
Anything else I could try?
Thanks
Heeter
I wiped all my caches, wiped and reinstalled the rom.
Still no go. No 3G or Edge.
Could it be that my 3G/Edge antenea is broken? Or something physically damaged on device?

have you checked your apn setting to make sure they are right for your carrier also have you tried a reboot?
Hi Yohshua,
Thanks for your response.
I have tried a lot or reboots.
I actually don't know what the right setting is for my carrier is?
I have always had it working , even after a fresh install, but not now.

This might help.
Here is list of World MCC / MNC codes.
Thanks BA,
Those settings are already preset into my device.
I really do think that my device is pooched and cannot work with 3G or H anymore.
Works fine with wifi.
Google Nexus S, here I come.
Heeter
maybe you can flash a stable ROM for G1,hope it can help you~~
Update:
Hey all, don't like reviving old threads, but I finally figured out what was wrong.
It was actually my sim card that was the problem. I went to a rogers store, picked up a new sim card and now it is working properly.
Thanks all

LOL! Sound like Cingular >> AT&T changed over. Old SIM card not supported by the vendor.
Glad that you solved your problem.

And 2 days after Hard resetting my fone, the problem is back....was browsing through the Filkie Wallpapers HD app when it crashed and rebooted the fone, lo and behold, the wifi bars turned and stayed grey after the restart and did not turn green like they had been doing for the last 2-3 days...same issue once again, connected to router at full strength but no wifi ....help me people, I cant keep hard resetting my fone every 2 days, there must be some wifi config file or something that gets messed up ..I don't know , I'm not brainy enough help meeeeee
Another devices works on wifi ?
Try change security options on router to WPA or WEP...
Try restart your router...
review whether you have wifi modem allows connection yet?
Similar Problem
I have a Galaxy S GT-I9000 running Darky's ROM 10.2 EE also.
Whilst at home I can connect Wi-Fi to my home router and whilst using the internet the Notification Bar icon turns from Grey to Green as I use the internet.
On the train yesterday I connected to the free Wi-Fi, phone showed me as connected but the icons remained grey and I could not use the internet.
I have checked all my settings several times without finding the problem.
Truly annoying and I am NOT flashing again!
If I find Darky's ROM is the problem then I will change to another ROM or go back to Stock and stay well away from Darky's ROM.
I have similar problem here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846850
i will post solution there after i find it.
If anyone has a solution already, please share it.

[Q] Mobile network not available

Hello,
Since a few months I can't call anyone with my Lg Optimus 2x, I just get the message 'Mobile network not available'.
I have tried several sim cards.
Before I had this problem I reverted to stock ics using smartflash and I sent my o2x to a company to repair my screen (maybe they accidentally broke my antenna?) and maybe it had nothing to do with this? What I noticed is that the mobile network type is UNKNOWN:0 wich shouldn't be.
I'm using CM10 "Look Ma! No Hands!" Edition (by pengus77) with the kowalski kernel 125 (also by pengus77)
I'm on the ics bootloader (new bootloader)
I've tried other roms and the old bootloader but nothing works. I've also tried using other basebands. I also read that my efs may be deleted/corrupted/wring/not working and I don't know... If thats the problem, how do I fix that?
Screenshots, About phone -> Status (I know aeroplane modes is turned one but thats to save energy because I cant call anyone, ofcourse I turned this of while testing )

I hope anyone can help me and if you need more info, just ask me.
I can see that you are receiving signal, so there should be no problem with your antenna.
Just search the thread for Erase cal data, that should help.

[Q] 5Ghz & Adaptive Brightness Questions

Alright peeps,
Anyway;
1) Does 5ghz bands work on your Nexus 6 ?
2) Does your adaptive brightness toggle stay off, or does it turn itself back on, on its own ?
I asked in the Franco Kernel thread, but I doubt its anything to do with that.
Let me know if you guys have had issues with either.

Both work fine here. What rom are you running?
I'm stock, with root, Franco's Kernel, TWRP and no encryption.
Thats why I asked in the Franco thread first.

Your OP is a little vague, but I am assuming you cannot connect to 5ghz wifi? Is the router updated with newest firmware?
For the adaptive brightness does your just randomly turn on? Or does it randomly turn off? Mine do neither, they stay put where I toggle them.
Yeah it might be a Netgear AP thing, but I could have sworn I saw the 5ghz SSID before I started changing things.
Also yeah it randomly turns itself back on after I've turned it off.
5 GHz WIFI Issue on Nexus 6 [SOLVED] - Use Upper Channel
5 GHz was working fine until I flashed 5.1. Now my 5 GHz ssid doesn't even show up in the list, just my 2.4 GHz does. Both ssids (5 GHz and 2.4 GHz) still appear on, and can connect to, my N5, my computer, and my GF's Note 4, however. So, it appears that 5.1, at least LMY47D, doesn't like 5 GHz.
EDIT:
Many thanks to @makpr who posted this. Works like a charm.
