Bug Report - Signal/Data S3 LTE - General Omni Discussion

Hi all, I inadvertantly posted this on the wring thread. I'll try again....
Hi all,
First of all, this is my first post.
I've been lurking around for a while and flashing ROMS with assistance from XDA for a good while.
Decided it was time to join in.
I've been using OMNI for a few months, flashing nightlies a couple of times a week.
I have a UK S3 LTE on EE
All the nightlies have been faultless until the 16/2/14 that one and the 17/2/14 boot up but don't have signal or data.
The signal strength in 'about device' days 2546753189 dBm which is just stupid.
Is this a known issue or just something I'm having?
I'm currently running nightly 11/2/14

bug reports should really be on jira

What is jira?
Sorry, as I say I'm new and don't know all of the terminology yet!

LTE is a non-issue as this isn't a device sold with LTE support.
The sensors is from flashing the radio/baseband onto 4.2.1 builds. People will have to deal with it, or flash up to 4.2.2
These are not "problems" from Google as they are people causing it to themselves.

From stock software and hardware left in from a sister device. It is not supported by Google and as such is a non-issue.
For sensors flash this http://www.mediafire.com/?079z7ky9nomb9i8 it fixed it

LTE wasn't approved by the FCC. Therefore, it wasn't mentioned as a feature of the phone.
The reason we could enable LTE was due to an oversight by LG or Google.
This update patches that oversight.
The phone is not suppose to carry LTE in first place. The fact that it works for some people whose carriers are on band 4 is bonus.
And issues, well those come with almost all phones. No point in defending any phone for things like this, but sadly things like this is part of almost any purchase of any thing. Forum like XDA is to get help, so you will get threads here about the problems. You will get far fewer threads which are there to praise the phone on daily basis. If you go to any device section here on XDA, you will get similar threads with issues some of the purchasers face. Those people are here to discuss those. THat sometimes paints the picture that phone is riddled with issues that everyone will face. It is hardly the case.
But if you still want to see enthusiastic threads, go checkout Indian nexus 4 thread That will show you cheerful side of things
Every hardware usually has some weak points, and hardware does break down. With the sheer number of devices sold, there will always be few that break down or are faulty. And you will find large number of those people finding their way here in search of solution. Relax, it is same with almost every phone.

There was a backdoor to get LTE if your provider had LTE on the AWS bands, the N4 was not approved or licensed to be used as an LTE device, it was just a matter of time before Google attempted to disable it. As for the other issues, it's incompatibilities between the new 4.2.2 stuff and 4.2.1 custom ROMs, this is why it's a bad idea to mix and match things like this, they aren't Google issues, all this stuff works just fine on stock 4.2.2 except LTE but that's not supposed to work.
If I understand correctly the radio issues happens only when you flash then on 4.2.1 correct? Then that's your problem, flash the full 4.2.2 and then if it's an issue that's a problem. Anyway I'm on paranoid android 4.2.2 and see no issues.

Oh okay that clears a lot of things up then.
For some reason I thought people were already on 4.2.2 and having the issues didn't know they were still on 4.2.1 trying to flash the radio.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I have a feeling the biggest reason they pushed this 4.2.2 update was to take care of the lte so there wasn't any big lawsuit ...
But then again they really didn't because people can just revert to the baseband before...lol

Wait. So you personally haven't updated and haven't experienced any issues and yet you started a complaint thread?
Seriously?

Anyone having problems with 3 UK?

Since last night my mobile data has just stopped working I have full signal but it won't pick anything up, It was strange that it worked then it stopped
I hear people have had other issues with 3 on HTCs aswell.

In all fairness, 3 isn't and has never been a great network, they've gotten a bit better but still need some work.
As for your phone.
Check your APN (reset it and check it)
Check packet data is on ( you'd be surprised)
Obviously do a long hold on power to reboot the phone fully.
Remove the sim and check it in another phone.
Try a different 3 sim in your phone if possible.
I have had a few problems with my sim not being recognised at all and knocking airplane mode on for a few seconds seems to fix it.
Hope this helps m8
PS: its possible it could just be a problem with the network too, give them a call.

Yes, me too.
Since around 22:00 last night. I've tried
Rebooting my phone
Toggling airplane mode
Toggling mobile data
Removing SIM card
My mobile data in settings is switched on and has "Disconnected because service is unavailable" written underneath it.
Hopefully they get it back on today at some point...

I'm also on three. Flashed the newest trick ROM with 4.2.2 at about 11 last night and now no mobile data at all!
Definitely an issue with the network
It's not your settings or your handset or your sim or your ROM - it's the 3 network, people are reporting a problem with mobile data connections across the UK.

[Q] After rooting and custom Rom can't connect to xda forums

Hey guys I picked up a bell mobility HTC One in Ontario Canada the other day. I rooted it and I stalled CWM and installed 2 different roms now one was CM the other was coin's. For some reason when I pull up the xda app or try to bring it up in the browser it never connects. I can loaf the home page but not the forums and the app goes nowhere. It worked fine on stock. I have the standard version of both roms installed. However this only occurs when I'm connected to the mobile network it works fine over WiFi. Any ideas?

Here I'll get the thread going.
Could this have anything to do with firmware?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Installing latest firmware only takes 5 mins, so it's probs ideal to give it a try. I was having issues with call quality but firmware fixed it!
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I never experienced this, but if you tried 2 different roms, Firmware is your best bet for solving the issue. I am on bell too, so I am not sure why it happened to u and not me.

Help me please!

Okay guys. Sorry if someone have already ask this before... But I couldn't found it. Its there is any list with which xperia z1 you should get for each company? I was thinking about moving to Verizon but I had read that any of the z1 will support their signal. I also saw at&t and T-Mobile. Which one you all recommend? And the signal of this phone is good? I read about WiFi problems and connectivity problems in General. I have a sprint galaxy s3 on sprint and I am done with their signal and I am kind of tired of their design and touchwizz (or how ever you spell it) even if I run a custom ROM here.

Maybe rewriting your question would help
I am not from the US but I really do not understand what you are trying to ask about.
Why don't you just speak to your carrier and see what they say about which is best for you......
Sorry if I misunderstand your situation but I cant get my head around your question

Wifi is driving me crazy please help

Hello everyone I tried searching before posting this but I couldn't really find any good info
Ive stock 4,3 not rooted and I've no idea about my bootloader but most probably locked
I'm having a sudden Wifi disconnect like each 20 minutes and when I don't have a disconnect the net is terribly slow!

I had problem with my wifi on android 4.2.2. Problems were likely like yours. Yesterday i have flashed my phone to stock notbranded android 4.3 and it works like charm. Maybe you should think about also updating your phone with this ROM ?

Stupid question but is could it be a router problem, since you also had problems with other versions? Or do you have this problem with other wifi networks too?

Hello,
Since the official update to Android 4.3 I also get issues with wlan when I am at work.
It might connect normally at first
But after some time I notice that I do not longer get data over it and most of the time it does no longer find the wlan in the settings, everyone else however can still connect fine, however most people are using iPhones but Even a galaxy s3 had no issues so it is no issue with the access point.
I also had it 2 times that I couldn't even disable wlan anymore (active again after reopening the settings)
Funny thing is that I have no issues with my home wlan that is a fritzbox.
On android 4.2.2 I never had an issue.
Everything stock, no root.
I am using a smartwatch 2. Not sure why it got mentioned here.
Check the router for a seeing that users 2 channels at once to increase bandwidth (not a dual broadcast setting for n and g or 2.4 and 5GHz). I have seen this problem on several android phones when enabled.
