[Q] No call/txt after CM 10.2 GPS (and LTE) fix

Sorry guys, this is an elaborate one.
So I was running the the 10/19 CM 10.2 nightly and I wanted to fix the GPS issue (and the LTE issue, I feel like I should include that because it might have something to so with the problem). Anyway, the GPS fix asks you to flash back to a sense based rom, download a GPS status app to reset and download new agps data, update profiles and PRLs and get a lock and you're good. After a DAY of trails and errors, got back to stock and fixed my GPS, GPS works fine now. The LTE fix asks you to open of the APN settings using the voice dialer and changing it to one of the LTE ones. I did that, LTE works fine now too. So just when I think I'm in the clear and completely stable, I try to text a friend and the test won't send. I try to call my house and the call just instantly drops, I try to call my phone from my house and it goes straight to voicemail after like a half a ring. I'm starting to think something is just wrong w/ sprint where I live but I don't know. Anybody know what's going on?

So I think I'm just out of luck until s-off becomes available w/ hboot 1.55 or they make a RUU for 3.04. I've tried everything. *sigh* Good thing I don't talk to people, lol.

I'm in the same boat. I tried flashing beanstalk. I noticed I'll have data only if my SIM card is in the phone. If it's not I won't get any data.

Took it to a Sprint store and they fixed it, I thought I was gonna get a new unit for a minute but no, they just fixed it. Funny thing is, my GPS and LTE are messed up again, but I'll live. If that Nexus 5 is under $400 I'm still gettin' it tho...and flashing back to stock (We should have a 3.04 RUU by then) and selling this with the quickness...

Here's a fix FYI

Alright so this is what reenable voice calls. I downloaded omjs ROM from august ( really any stock ROM should do) so I would have the ability to use all the programming codes and update the profile. Obviously do a full wipe( system,data,cache,dalvik cache) loaded the ROM once it got settled and I went past the initial startup stuff I did what's called an "SCRTN" (that's ##72786# on your phones dialer) then hit the three dots and confirmed I wanted to reset the network settings. Also an "RTN" (##786#) won't work because of the custom recovery in case anyone was gonna do that instead. Let the device come back up it should auto activate and go through the hands free activation on its own if it doesn't just go to settings and update the profile you can do the prl too while your doing it just to make sure everything is working fine. Then reload this rom and toggle airplane mode on and then off and there you go. Now this worked for me it may not work for you just keep that in mind but hopefully this helps until they find out what may cause that issue.

Also I forgot to ask did you try taking the sim card out and putting it back in? One other thing you can try is taking a pencil eraser to the back of the sim card ( the golden side) and putting it back in( clean off any pencil shavings) but see if that helps.

[Q] Modem issues - cannot make calls or connect to 3g.

Yesterday, my 2013 Moto X (international model) started behaving VERY strangely. My 3g connection just died, and I stopped being able to make or receive calls - SMS works fine though, and my signal is very strong.
I can't make calls, the call just dies before even trying to ring, and people calling me just go straight to voicemail. Also, in the status menu my Network Type and Phone Number are listed as Unknown. I also tried rebooting into "Factory" mode through the Bootloader and found that my phone ICCID is also listed as Unknown. IMEI is fine though. It's so weird and frustrating.
I called my cellphone service provider (Movistar Chile), and they reset my network profile and gave me a new SIM card as well, to no avail whatsoever. The problem still persists even after a reflash (through fastboot) of the stock 4.4.4 firmware.
Is my phone dead? Or could it still be a solvable issue, be it network or phone fault?

If sms works and not phone, it's not your radio connection to the carrier, so sounds like a carrier issue if reinstalling firmware didn't help.
Did you do anything at all to your device before this happened? Though reflashing firmware should have corrected anything.
I'd be calling the carrier again.

No, that's the weird thing. I hadn't done anything to the device before it happened, I was literally just chatting through the Facebook Messenger app when my data connection died and it hasn't reconnected since then.
I did call my carrier again, and they issued a ticket to tech support, so I guess I have to wait for their resolution as well.

Wait, sms works... But not phone calls Or data?

Precisely. I can SEND and RECEIVE text messages, but I can't MAKE or RECEIVE phone calls, and data is completely disconnected.

Not sure about phone, but for data... Google your carriers APN settings and see they match yours. In mobile settings, access point names.
---------- Post added at 08:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 AM ----------
Did you completely flash everything with fastboot and mfastboot?
Have you tried RSD Lite? Same Android version for your exact model of course. (this will wipe your phone completely.... Do backup anything important and transfer off the phone)

1. Yes, I already tried that. APN's are correct, I deleted and re-entered them just in case anyway. No change.
2. Yeah, I actually reflashed twice with different stock firmwares for different carriers with fastboot and mfastboot.

Well, it's sounding like hardware failure then unfortunately.
The only other thing to check, is that you have the correct radio installed. If you flashed stock, you should... But I'd double check. I don't have the answer to which is the correct one for you, you may need to search on that, or hope you can find someone here to compare too.
---------- Post added at 09:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 AM ----------
If you are within warranty period... You may want to go that route.
With sms working, I still suspect sim/carrier issue... But if they are no help, what can you do.

Yeah I know, I starting to fear hardware failure myself. I guess I'll wait to see if the carrier fixes it, otherwise I'll have to get a new phone :/

It could also be an issue with your SIM card. Maybe try turning the phone off, removing SIM and booting. Then Turn it off again and re-insert the SIM and boot again. You can also see if your local carrier store has another SIM card that they can test it with.

I got a new SIM card from my carrier yesterday, after I complained. Problem persists.

Finally, I took the phone to the official Motorola service where I live and they confirmed it was a hardware fault, and as I had unlocked the bootloader I'd have to pay an outrageous amount for them to fix it (motherboard had to be replaced). So I decided to get a new phone instead, and now I happily own a brand new Nexus 5.
Thanks for the help anyway

Forcing LTE only

Background:
I switched from AT&T to Fi a couple of weeks ago. Only since switching to Fi, my LTE connection has been unstable (constantly dropping to 3G, 1X, then nothing). Yes, I know that there are multiple threads on this problem, but I have a new (I think) question.
I contacted Fi tech support about this issue and they replied as follows:
"Thank you for contacting Project Fi Support! My name is Duane and I will be your Project Fi expert today. I completely understand how frustrating it can be when your device does not work correctly when you need it to, but we will work towards getting it resolved today. Ok, I have something that may help your problem here. This makes it so your choosing LTE only and that should fix your problem. Follow these instructions here:
Dial *#*#4636#*#* from the default dialer
Find where it says "Turn off Radio" and tap it
Right above where you made that selection it will say "LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)"
Tap that and select "LTE only"
Now select "Turn on radio"
It was my pleasure helping you today. If you have any other questions regarding Project Fi or your Nexus 6, you can contact the Project Fi team directly at any time 1-844-Talk2Fi (1-844-825-5834) or reply to this email and we'll get back to you as soon as possible!
Thanks!
Duane C.
The Project Fi Support Team"
And it works. Connection is stable.
But here's the problem. After a few hours, or a reboot of the phone and it switches back to LTE/3G/GSM/CDMA. Then the original problem returns.
Is there a way to force LTE only to stick?

nope, its always been like that. you have to reenable it after a reboot. ive been reenabling now for 3 years

Thanks for the confirmation.
I'll have to pay more attention, but it seems to me that it switched back after several hours on forced LTE, without a reboot. Have you ever noted that behavior?

lte only disabling without a reboot is somwthing new, and i have only experienced that in m(and 5.1.1 maybe).

yes, just as you posted, i posted. thats an odd new behavior. and it doesnt always happen. it does seem to happen when your lte only connection gets "stressed".

GSM Unlock for non root users. Change APN!!!!! Wip

Not working yet..... Guys im sorry i let u down i really thought we had this in the bag.
i will attempt to get testers together and try a few different things. if not i will purchase another g4 to figure this out.
So new update download hidden call menu in first link below.
http://storagecow.eu/Xda/LG G5/Sprint LS992 GSM unlock/HiddenMenuCall_1.7.apk
So sprint just released a zvb update for the g5 which bars things in the hidden menus so this method is allready being locked down on g5 so im sure they will do it on g4 also.
Look for itson setting and enable or disable, whichever it is do the oppisate.
You should also be able to edit apn settings under iot and lte setting no root no msl needed
Update to orig instrucs. I know the rooted g4 unlock employs also having to shut off itson in the hidden menu to get rid of invalid sim card.
lotHiddenMenuMain (witout root) => LTE setting=> LTE Data Roam Config....and enable
Band 2
Band 4
Band 12 go back
i have not tried this as i do not have a g4 anymore but promised the g4 users i would continue to try to out.
thanks to all that have tried and faild on orig instrucs
the new update was brought to you by there failures
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g5/how-to/guide-gsm-unlock-sprint-lg-g5-t3574819
this is the link on the g5 unlock sprint also may be of some help
we have a confirmation it works guys.
Now suposedly this can work on any sprint lgs and lower sprint subsidiarys

also ive noticed since g2 g3 g4 and g5 stock message app wont send or recieve mms use another messanger for mms and text like i have always used google messanger

also these are not prmant unlocks factory reset will undo it and more note that some users have reported that using any kind of lock screen including swipe to unlock interferes with unlock

this is more of a settings mod than anything so again dont know if itll work but i hope so can mod the apns and they stick no root no msl too!!!!!!! hell yeah boys

I tried this while I was on ZVF and didn't have any luck, but I can't guarantee I followed the instructions to the T.
I can write up a quick guide today or tomorrow on building your own GSM/global ZVD ROM, with APN support and all. It'd be riskier, given that the flashing could brick your phone if you're careless, but it survives factory resets and lockscreens just fine.
I'd upload what I'm running, but for the next few weeks, I'm stuck in an area where the upload speeds are still measured in kbps, and I can't seem to mount large images on my VPS to work from there due to a lack of RAM.

Is it still displaying invalid sim card. On top of orig instrucs can u find the itson menu and shut it off.

Yeah it's still showing invalid. I haven't tried the itson menu yet

I just enabled itson and my metro pcs Sim card works in my g4, so if anyone else wants to try just enable itson and the phone should be unlocked

Android Messages RCS Chat

Does anyone know if the American version of the Xperia 1ii on T-Mobile can work with RCS Chat through Android Messages? When I went to turn on the feature, it says that the feature isn't available for the device. This just seems really weird, especially since it worked on the Xperia 1 ( which I upgraded from).
Any ideas?

I had this working on T-Mobile. Update Carrier Services in the Play Store

Hi, thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, carrier services is on the latest version, and I also checked the APN settings to make sure they were correct. After restarting the device, now the Messages app indefinitely tries to verify my phone number, to no success.
Thanks for the quick reply.

I've had similar issues with RCS on other unlocked phones. If you clear the data of carrier services and either data/cache of messages that normally did the trick for me. Clearing data in messages only resets the app settings and does not get rid of messages. But will unarchieve messages that were before.
I haven't had to do it in a while and not on my mark ii, but it would take care of RCS and random Google Phone app issues on my Nokia Pureviw and Xperia 1.
Hope it helps.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this a bunch of times, and still no dice. I will say that my phone is still on the August security patches. Not sure if this matters, but just thought I'd point that out. Cheers.

Yeah, I don't know why we're still on Aug 2020. Other variants got September and October.
Have you tried uninstalling updates on carrier service and then reinstalling the updates? If I remember correctly the carrier service app is the main drive behind it. Maybe Google Play System and Service has something to do with it too?

I have tried that, but still nothing. It's really frustrating, because little things like this that I'm noticing after having the phone for a couple of months that make me feel the 1ii is a downgrade from the Xperia 1. Thanks again.
