Has anyone else ran into this issue? I have read about signal problems on the T-Mobile devices but from what I read it didn't matter if you were stock or not. I have service through Verizon and I have flashed both paranoid and PAC Roms and have had signal issues with both. Once I go back to stock though everything is dandy. Just wondering if any other Verizon users have experienced this.

My service provider is Cellular South, not Sprint. I have been running CyanogenMod 6 for around a year with no issues as far as function is concerned, but recently tried a new ROM mostly for speed and a few bells and whistles. It worked great but I had issues with receiving text messages (not sending) so for the time being I reverted back to my CyanogenMod nandroid backup.
I would still like to try a newer ROM but was wondering if there are any issues or special steps I should expect to run into because I'm with Cellular South and most of these ROMs are based on Sprint.
I have no idea whether or not this had anything to do with my texting issue but I just wanted to ask before diving into anther ROM.
Thanks!
Hi everybody.. I ordered a Droid 4 from the US (i'm in the UK) .. Setup giffgaff unltimited internet, however for some reason the connection isn't stable. Sometimes the connection will not connect for at least 3 hours. I have rooted and tried the AOPK, Avatar and Liquid ROMs, but its the same issue.
I have another Droid 4 running 4.0.4 and tested if it was a problem with the SIM card, but it worked fine.. No problems what-so-ever.
Any suggestions anyone?

I eventually gave up on giffgaff because of constantly dropped calls, and incoming calls that would go straight to voicemail. Found it a lot better on O2, which is odd given that both use the same network.
For your problem though, how is it if you use the stock ROM? all those 3 ROMs use custom kernels and I haven't had much luck with them on GSM. If it works on stock then you know the problem isn't the phone or the SIM at least.

I have noticed some of your old posts in the GiffGaff Community Forum.
FWIW, I've been using it in anger for just over a month, and can't say I've had any problems (apart from a short outage across the network, which is apparently quite rare).
Cheers,
Steve.

Yea the problem is persistent on the stock ROM too
Is there any way to calibrate the hardware?
Not that I know of, mine just worked.
Did you update to JB yet? I believe there were changes to the radio firmware included.
Other than that, I don't know. If you have an identical Droid 4 that does work with that SIM then the only explanation left would be faulty hardware
Yea it came originally with JB
Can you tell me how to downgrade to 4.0.4 if you don't mind please.

AFAIK - You can't downgrade, I'm afraid.
In the Network Mode, have you selected GSM/UMTS, or are you set to Global?
It does sound like you might have a hardware problem.
Cheers,
Steve.
Thanks everyone, but I found a solution ~ a very weird one...
I removed all the custom ROMs and safestrap and did a full factory reset on the stock ROM. Miraculously this did the trick strangely enough.

Hello All,
Something changed in my phone and not really sure as to what has happened. All of a sudden my phone loses data connectivity and thinks that it is roaming. If I enable airplane mode and disable it, then the phone works for about 10-15 minutes and then loses connectivity again. Running the 12B baseband (been using it for months with no issue) and haven't changed the ROM in quite some time. This started happening on yesterday.
Any suggestions?
The 4G radio seems to have crapped out completely. Getting a replacement sent on tomorrow

Damnit. I am having the EXACT same problem, running CM11.
How did you come to that conclusion? I am thinking I'm going to have to restore to stock if I'm going to get Verizon to do anything about it.

I reverted all the way back to 11A stock unrooted. The phone was in 4G for about 5 minutes (if that) and then remained in 3G mode.

I'm at the same point. Going to do an Asurion claim since I didn't buy my phone from VZW (Swappa).
I had this problem before when I tried other roms like cm rom and omni rom. I tried to do *228 to fix problem, but made it made it worse. I restored it back to stock and took it to the Verizon store. They put a new sim card in it for free and it fixed the problem. Now i am running stock with simple kernel.
Same exact problem here. I was on the phone with Verizon last night. I was running cloudy pro 2 (all his roms for that matter as they are international roms) and kept getting the roaming issue you speak of...with 3g. I went back to 11A completely bone stock. Just like you mentioned, I get 4g but then after like 10 minutes I get 3g with roaming. Of course this is after I spent 30 minutes on the phone with tech support. They 'zapped' my sim card and it appeared to work but no dice. Now before doing all this I downloaded build prop editor and changed the ro.build.target_country to US versus COM as everyone suggested in all the forums, still no dice. I've tried the toggle airplane mode trick...works for like 5 minutes and back to 3g roaming. I think maybe a new sim card and avoid international roms...bummer because cloudys roms are blistering fast. Interesting thing though, I installed xdabebbs rom and malladus' rom, after already running cloudys roms, and get 3g but no roaming. I also verified that Verizon wasn't throttling me or something like that. One more thing I tried is reflashing the basebands and 24A modem, no dice. If there is a build prop fix or some other fix I'd love to hear it.
Edit: One think I'd like to mention. When I had an S4 I switched between stock roms and AOSP roms and the network settings were responsible for causing the roaming because the stock rom was an older build than the AOSP. So when I had roaming, I'd reflashed the AOSP rom, changed the settings then flash the stock rom. It worked great.
Edit#2: Ok making a little progress. Just did this:
Get a build.prop editor from the play store, and change ro.carrier to VZW and ro.build.target_operator to VZW and ro.build.target_country to US.
Initially it worked but when I make calls it gives me Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped and I cant make calls. I went into Settings, Apps, reset app preferences...that didn't fix it either.
4G/LTE is pretty solid now but again, I cant make calls.
Edit#3: Nevermind...roaming again.
Alright, I'd be lying if this makes any sense to me, but the issue appears to be related strictly to the SIM card.
I had them swap the SIM, it fixed the issue, then it came back. I'm on a new phone now, and it appears to be working. The old SIM did not work on either phone, but the new one does. What makes no sense is the old SIM would work fine in my Galaxy Nexus, but would not work in the G2. Now the new SIM is working perfectly in the new G2 (haven't tried the old one).
I'm baffled.
I've never seen anything make so little sense. The guy at the store told me I would need to replace the SIM again in a few days. Whatever, if it happens again, I'll do just that.
I did the same with my gs3. What ROM are you running?

The original phone was running CM 11 Nightlies.
I'm currently on stock - not sure if I'm going to stay with CM because the official thread indicates official development is DitW for the G2 .
That's actually strange... I'd expect roaming issues with an Intl ROM but not cm.

I received this "new" phone back in December, since then I experienced tons of issue with regards to random dropped calls and slow/nonresponding/inaccurate gps navigation I am currently on a custom rom, Khonglohi v11 but even on stock rom I also experience the same issues. I have followed multiple tutorials and have used multiple A-gps resetting Apps with the same result. I even went to the xda discord and mods were stumped by this issue. Im thinking this is just hadware related. Anyone know how to get this fixed? I have already tried different sim cards and it's not the carrier Tmobile. Thanks.
It seems that somewhere I lost the LTE. I think I lost it when I lost the IMEI while flashing stock nougat. The interesting thing is that I fixed the IMEI issue flashing Pixel Experience. I also have here 3G and it works like a charm, the issue is only with 4G. I tried several ROMs but seems not be the problem. Do anyone know how to solve it or have an idea??
