Any solution?
Only GPRS/EDGE does work, if 3G is available, it disconnects automatically until 3G isn't available.
Solution: Set to 2G-Only :-(
Anyone has the same problem?
I didn't have this problem with FRF 72.
Provider: Sunrise Switzerland
Radio: 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.12_7
Have you tried going into your phone settings from *#*#4636#*#* and setting it to wcdma only? I did that on mine not too long ago and no more dropping to edge for me!

does it lose complete signal? or does it show 3g still but just not doing anything?
Mine was working at first after flash. Then at about 2am it just kept trying to load then times out. Still shows 3g but just dont do anything. Im hoping its just tmobile messing with their towers... I dont see why it would work at first then not now..
The problem is, that i can only have a internet connection, when the phone is logged in into a gsm or edge network.
as soon as wcdma is available, the phone disconnects from the internet.
the signal is always available, but it looses the internet connection when it changes to 3G mode.
when the phone changes from 2G->3G mode, i see for 1s the 3G icon and then no icon will bi there.
when it changes back from 3G->2G, the EDGE/GPRS icon is visible again.

ok thanks for clarification. My problem is different. I think related to phone company.. I still show the 3g signal and even have bars, but the pages dont load and eventually gives me the check your service and try again alert....
So Im hoping soon its working again for me... And I hope you as well figure it out.....
Thank you Good luck!
Had the same issue after update, did *#*#4636#*#* and noticed I was set to GSM only. Set it to WCDMA preferred and now it's good.
Thank you very much, thats the solution!!

Thank you. Updated to FRF83 this morning and I've had a full 3g signal, just couldn't pull data all day. Could over edge. Sure enough, GSM only was selected.
AT&T N1.
I'm having the same issue on a non-rooted phone on T-Mobile. No 3G after the FRF83 update. Full bars of service and 3G displayed in the status bar. Dropping to Edge only works but there is no data with 3G.

Same issue here.
Switching to WCDMA preferred doesn't work for me though.....any help is welcome
I think it's a hardware problem with a lot of N1's.
Mine was ok the first 2 months, and later, 3g not working. This is driving me crazy ):
I have tried everything. Change the simcard, I did a reset of the data with my telcon, and nothing happens.
I've seen these problems on many N1's.
I hope google / htc release a fix for this problem.

how bout checking your bands in the service menu. so *#*#4636#*#* -> phone info -> press the menu key for more options -> select bands -> choose one appropriate for your region (ie "USA BANDS").
If all else fails do a factory reset by going to the settings -> privacy -> restore factory defaults.. of course do a backup/sync/whatever before just to make sure you can get all your apps back.
There's other ways to do a factory reset via the bootloader .. its under recovery and you press up volume or the trackball I think and you can just select all the clear/erase settings there and that should clear out everything on the phone's internal storage.
The factory reset worked for me (via bootloader) when I upped from update-1 to FRF50 and didn't have any data icon next to my signal strength. Could call out but couldn't get data.
Hope that helps.

Check your APN settings. Do a full factory reset from the bootloader. If nothing works you should call tech support again. Most 3g issues where you have issues with connecting are service/signal level related. I *****ed early about my 3g issues on tmobile and it was the network as they've pretty much gone away with improving the backhaul in my area for HSDPA+ or updates to the phone's radio.
HTC is really really really cool about swapping phones and repairing them. If you feel you have a nexus that has hardware issues call them. I did this 3 times already (one time for minor cosmetic issues with the refurb they sent) and I couldn't be happier about how willing they were to replace/repair the phone. It turns out I really didn't have any issues with them at all.. with any issues with hardware from the second refurbished phone. It was service or software related and I'm happy to say with updates/tmobile service improvements I couldn't be happier with this phone.

Thanks blisk, but the thing I don't understand is why Blackberry 9700 with T-Mobile bands, doesn't have problems at all ?
By the way, I rooted my phone , so the thing with the warranty it's complicated
I had it happen last night at work all night, but when i got home i checked my wife's tp2 and it also was doing the same thing so for levity wasn't the phone but tmobile. They started worming the same time also.... I think its tmobile.
Hello, I had the same problem with my imported n1. I'm using the tmobile version non rooted fully stock manually updated to frf83. I did a *#*#4636#*#* and selected wcdma only, rebooted and couldn't connect to my gsm network. Went in again and did a wcdma preferred, rebooted, and I works better, still changes fast to edge and G, but less often, I'm still trying it but I have high hopes its gonna be ok
Mmmm i did have problems with 3G too after pushing FRF83, but i found out that for some reason the APN settings weren't set correctly after the update. In my case the port setting after the proxy of the APN wasn't set, i changed to the correct value and it worked.
In conclusion, check your APN settings.
Just went from FRF72 to FRF83 and it's working fine.
I'm currently set to GSM auto (PRL) in the *#*#4636#*#* and I didn't change it to that after putting on FRF83.
The short:
I changed the "Select radio band" setting in the test menu (*#*#info#*#*) and it screwed things up.
I wiped and reflashed CM12.1 - but it didn't reset that setting (it's still borked).
Does anyone know where it stores that setting, or how to reset it somehow?
The long:
Initially in CM12.1 I was having problems staying on LTE - it always fell back to 3G and stayed there.
So tried this band change that someone who had the same problem suggested.
Now, every option I try is great for LTE but says "cellular network not available" and I can't make calls.
The exception is "Cellular" which I can make calls but only get 1X data.
These are the options in the menu:
"JAPAN Band (WCDMA-800/WCDMA-IMT-2000)"
"USA Band (GSM-850/PCS-1900/wCDMA-850/WCDMA-PCS-1900)"
"Cellular (800-MHz)"
"PCS (1900-MHz)"
I don't know what it was before and I can't see figure out how to tell what it currently is set to.
I just want to flash back to stock so things work again, but if this setting doesn't get reset then I don't know if that will work anyway.
Any chance settings like that are stored on the SIM card?

Unfortunately that's what I did initially. The setting in that link ("Cellular") made my calls work, but I could only get 1X data.
So somehow by just flashing and reflashing different things (including failing to reflash to stock), it's back to where it was when I started.... which sucks, but is at least useable. Calls work and data works, but the first time it has to drop back from LTE to 3G, it get stuck in 3G forever (until airplane mode). Super sucks since it's my primary home router tethered. I have to airplane mode like 5 times a day.
Just in case someone else ran into this problem, I ended up getting a new sim from Verizon and everything's working now finally. It still says "000000" when it's in 3G, but I don't care about that - it works and it goes back to LTE when it can, rather than staying on 3G forever.
Works for Moto X play - should work for others too..
I too did the same mistake. Changed my Band to "USA" and couldn't restore to previous despite Factory reset.
The SIM 1 went into 4G data only (No voice) , didn't recognize 2G & 3G network for any sim.
However Sim 2 worked fine for 2G,3G & 4G.
i came across a thread in XDA, and after breaking my head over how to execute it, I finally did it.
I have written a brief guide to it. Here's the link.

I'm still using stock 5.1.1 ROM, because I'm not clear whether I lose some functionality by rooting / unlocking the bootloader.
I like to use my phone in 2G data mode, that feels safer on my body than 3G and above - but this device considers 2G only mode to be calls and text only (i.e. data off!).... this seems crazy to me since data off is achieved more easily with the option just for that. Is there any way to have proper 2G data only mode?
So when I go into the data options I get the usual set of things, and 2G says "2G (voice and calls only)", then when I switch to this, data is actually turned off. When try to turn data on, I get a message saying I've got to switch data mode to be able to do this - data stays off until I choose "3G (preferred) / 2G". It seems like the software on my device is designed to turn data off when you choose 2G - very odd.
No updates are available when I check. I'd love to go to marshmallow, but I guess I've missed that until Sony release their tested version of it - that update might fix this issue.
Missing my rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 already! - recently bought second hand device.
Many thanks, Geoff
For me this used to work on kitkat (i can't remember on lollipop because i use concept 6.0.1):
in quick settings i'd turn off LTE and then in settings - mobile networks i'd set to 2G only. And afterwards by switching LTE on and off form quick settings phone would toggle from 2G and LTE. But since i didn't pay for 4G to my provider, my phone would toggle from 2G to 3G - just what i wanted.
I used to use 2G on my old Xperia P since it improved my battery life dramatically. I continued to use it on my Z3c while on kitkat, but it didn't affect my battery life so i stopped - hence I don't know if you can do this trick on lollipop.
Goog luck and I hope this helps.
I don't really understand you... I'm using 5.1.1 and if I switch to GSM only, ALL network stuff is using 2G - calls, texts, mobile data (little E letter right next to the signal icon). So... what's really a problem? Maybe I don't understand the context (I am not a fluent english speaker but I understand it pretty well) but please describe your problem more precisely
P.S.:
Rooting doesn't harm your device, your camera resolution won't change at all so don't worry
[Unlocking bootloader DOES harm your device (losing some DRM-related stuff) but there are plenty of other benefits from this AND you can revert the DRM changes.]
Wait, what ?
Are you seriously thinking that 3G(HSDPA) or 4G(LTE) is somehow more harmful to your body ?
That's ridiculous. The power levels used in 2G and 3G and 4G are all roughly the same and always below 250mW.
yes from discussion and reading research I feel there's a case for being cautious, that we've not had enough time to adjust to this technology - see for example http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=473209
Better start wearing tinfoil hats m8
(That's so esoteric I won't even bother responding. The power levels used are not even remotely high enough to cause cellular changes)
thanks for your message - I think you understand well, but your phone is giving different behaviour. I've added more description, in case that helps anyone
like I said, we each choose - and choose how much we look into it. Probably similar comments from people in the 60s to anyone questioning Aspestos. It's easy for either of us to generalise that it's OK or not, with examples from the past, but there's information out there that's looked into this and is thorough, including significant instances of phone engineers with brain tumors. We don't agree, let’s at least be respectful.
1) When 2G is working on 1800 MHz band (this happens especially if you live in a big city), the energy is more or less the same used by 3G technology.
Anyway this is not the point.
2) Are you sure your network operator has 2G data connection available? Is your firmware branded?
You don't lose DRM keys while you flash an unbranded firmware or you root the device with giefroot method.
Have a look at the general section
thanks for your reply - yes definitely there's a 2G connection, as I live in the countryside I end up on this quite a bit of the time, when in "3G/2G" mode.
I'm on a UK network called Tesco that uses the O2 network. Phone originally came from O2 (telefonica), but is now SIM unlocked. Behaviour was the same before and after unlock - no surprise as software the same. Build number is 23.4.A.1.264, kernel 3.4.0-perf-gbe52486 (September 17 2015)
Threads like the one you linked and statements like above just reek of not understanding how GSM and 2G/3G/4G actually works.
Stuff like
As 2G and 3G have different requirements, they also have different power consumption. It doesn't require much more than common logic to understand that since 3G needs to transfer more data during a short period of time, it would use more resources than 2G, which needs less during the same period.

Wondering if anyone can help me out. I've already spent hours on the phone with tmobile and they can't seem to solve it.
I've had this problem ongoing since getting this phone. Basically I get no data roaming. Places Ive tried: Canada (several cities in BC as well as Quebec and Ontario), UAE, Bahamas. I spend a lot of time in Canada so its a real issue. Things I have tried:
- Factory reset
- Upgrade to 5.1.1 using Odin.
- Try sim card in friend's phone (4G works no problem in Canada)
- A bunch of other stuff I don't remember
Symptoms:
- About 50% of the time the phone works for calls and text
- The rest of the time it says "emergancy calls only". Restarting the phone immediately restores ability to make calls/send text. This happens regardless of signal strength.
- Data connection never works. Only time I got 4G was the very first time I entered canada with this phone. . Restarting the phone would make it connect to 4G for about 1-2 minutes before it would lose data connection. Restarting the phone would bring it back. After about half a day the phone completely lost ability to make data connection and has never been able to get data connection internationally since then.
- Sometimes I get this message: "you have lost data connectivity because you left your home network with data roaming turned off". Data roaming is definitely turned on. I've enabled in settings and also via #RON# short code.

This sounds like a config issue to me. the random drops to emergency seems to be issues with roaming not being set up right. It sounds like your APNs are not setup correctly or something. have you gotten any info from t-mobile on Roaming APNs? i'm not sure if it needs to be adjusted for roaming or not.

Yeh thats what it seemed like to me as well but I went over the APN settings with them on several occasions. I also looked them up online. Everything seems correct. The only thing they had me change was APN roaming protocol from IPv6 to IPv4/IPv6.
Dial *#*#4636#*#* (on stock dialer), in Device Information try to change network settings to LTE/WCDMA.
What are your APN settings? Provide info about all fields.
Did u ever solve this issue ? I'm having the same problem...
On a couple threads I’ve been asked how I got my N5 to work on a Nougat romon a CDMA network. I’m posting this in the hope that more people try it, and we can figure out a reproducible way to make it work for anyone. I can’t figure out why it’s working for me, or what exactly did it (that’s why this post is so long).
Since N5 didn’t get the official update to Nougat, there are supposedly some blobs needed for CDMA networks that never got upgraded. My understanding is that this is the reason it doesn’t work automatically. GSM networks work fine.
I’ve been running LineageOS14.1caf and it’s been stable, always connected to Sprint (via RingPlus, an MVNO). Data and everything else stays connected through reboots and updates. Others have been able to connect N5/CDMA on Nougat, so that’s not a big deal, but they don't seem able to stay connected. It’s lost on reboots, and you have to do things to get it back. Or you can connect, but only have phone and texting, no data.
Most of the time if you flash a custom Nougat rom on N5 and you’re on a CDMA network (like Sprint), you’ll get a message at the startup screen that says ‘no sim card detected’. The data icon on the status bar will be a grayed out icon with a slash through it.
What I’ve tried to get a stable connection is like throwing spaghetti against a wall and hoping some of it sticks. I just kept trying different things until it worked. It’s not automatic. You have to try a lot of different things. On 14.1caf, something I did stuck. On other roms I’ve tried I’ve been able to connect to Sprint, sometimes get data, but it doesn’t stick for long.
At the bottom are links to some zips I’ve used that seem to make a difference.
The first step is to get a connection, but that’s just the beginning. There are a couple ways I’ve gotten this to work on different roms.
When you flash the rom, also flash the second and third zips below if you're on an MVNO. The first one is an aroma installer that lets you choose your MVNO provider and installs an apn that may work, the second supposedly does something to update the prl (I’m not sure if it makes a difference, but spaghetti).
This may get you a connection, either at the startup screen, or once you pop out and reinsert the sim card. The grayed out icon w/slash will become bars, assuming you’re in range of a tower. If this doesn't work, maybe try another rom, or try the other zip.
Alternately, you can flash the other zip (sprint.zip) from the post below, I’d try the other ones first, unless you’re on Sprint directly, not through an MVNO. You may come back to this one later.
When I flashed the sprint.zip first on one rom, I got a connection but it wouldn’t initialize until I flashed the other zip with the aroma installer. However, if you’re on Sprint and not an MVNO that uses Sprint, you may only need this one.
From there, once you have a connection, go through the google setup, and if you still have a connection check to see if it includes data. I have a couple ways to confirm this. 1) Turn off wifi, and you should see 3g or LTE appear next to the bars. 2) Use an app like Internet Connectivity Test to confirm connection. Or open a browser.
If you have data connection, reboot and see if it sticks. If yes, use as is for a while and see if it keeps sticking.
If a reboot loses data, or loses the connection, you can sometimes get it back by removing and reinserting the sim. When this happened to me, I then worked on finding an apn that would keep it stable. When I first was using 14.1caf, it wasn’t stable, I got it stable doing the following.
Flash the sprint.zip. Reboot and go to Settings/Wireless & networks/More/Cellular Networks/Access Point Names. You want to end up with only one apn on the list. If you flashed the sprint.zip, one in the list should just be named ‘Sprint’.
Open the other apn’s one by one, hit the three dot menu, and Delete APN, until only the Sprint one is left. Or, you could create a new apn with all the following settings, just be sure it’s the only apn when you’re finished.
Either create a new apn or open the Sprint apn and use the following settings. You may only to change the two protocol settings.
Name: Sprint
APN: Sprint
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
Username: Sprint
Password: *
Server: *
MMSC: http://mms.sprintpcs.com
MMS proxy: 68.28.31.7
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 120
Authentication type: PAP or CHAP
APN type: mms
APN protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN roaming protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN enable/disable: (grayed out, or APN enabled)
Bearer: Unspecified
MVNO value: Not set (grayed out)
Hit Save in the three dot menu.
Back out.
Is ‘Sprint’ the only apn in the list? If yes, hit + In APN settings, then back out. This seems strange, but more than once it was like turning on a switch, and I got data connection instantly after hitting + and backing out.
Other things that worked for me at different times early on to restore a lost data connection: Reset Network Settings. Reflash the zips below. Update prl, if it works. Repeat all the above. Spaghetti.
If you’re comfortable saving and restoring backups in TWRP, then you’ll be comfortable trying this out on a few roms to see if you can get Nougat on your CDMA network on N5. If it doesn’t work, you can restore your working rom. It’s been worth it for me, I think Nougat’s an improvement over MM.
14.1 Roms I’ve tried this on: LineageOScaf (success). DarkRom (success, but couldn’t get it to stick. Maybe could with more effort). LineageOS noncaf (success, couldn’t get it to stick). PureNexus (no success).
Yeah, this is a complicated workaround. If a developer would figure out a way to get the right CDMA blobs for N5 on Nougat then it would just work out of the box.

An update: I was also able to get this to work on 14.1DarkRom caf version and am now running it with a stable connection to RingPlus/Sprint, everything works fine.
There's one trick I forgot to mention that I learned from another thread: Flash the last stock 6.0 rom, get your network to connect, and save the EFS partition in TWRP. Supposedly some network info is on there. When you flash one of the 14.1 roms, restore that EFS partition at the end before booting.
Someone in a related thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/go...ix-sprint-data-to-custom-roms-t2541924/page11) used the procedure I posted above including the EFS partition trick and got their phone to connect with Freedompop/Sprint, so it's reproducible after all.

Thanks for working on this. There are probably only 5 people out there who have Sprint and want to use Nougat on the N5. I got data working on PureNexus7.1; however, I have to do the pull sim card trick and then it only shows a "4G" icon instead of LTE. I had similar problems with cyanogenmod on my Galaxy Nexus (N3) back in the day.
Does LineageOS and DarkRom show LTE or 4G? Thanks again!

I had similar problems with cyanogenmod on my Galaxy Nexus (N3) back in the day.
Does LineageOS and DarkRom show LTE or 4G? Thanks again!

Both Lineage and DarkRom (and the unofficial cm caf) show LTE on my phone, never saw 4G. It may be a carrier thing, not sure.
Yeah, it's surprising there aren't more people wanting to do this. I guess it's a combination of an older phone (Nexus what!!!?), few Sprint users, and honestly it can take some work to get it functioning. Nougat is such an upgrade for our phone, though, it's worth it. Feel free to add anything to this that helped you get it working.
Has anyone gotten this to work on Nexus 5 with a nougat rpm on Freedompop Sprint? I tried the two zips and service connects for a second then drops. The sprint zip won't download. Anyone have another mirror for it?
Most "fixes" don't work.
They either never worked, or addressed something that was broken again in a later build. I went through dozens of wipes, flashes, and system tests to get CDMA working 100% reliably for me... and then a patch was merged that changed something.
You could get CDMA working up to September (?) 2016, but builds after that (CM13, CM14, and LOS14) changed CDMA again, killing previous fixes.
I have FreedonPop, and the best thing to do with that service is trash the Sprint CDMA/LTE SIM and get their AT&T GSM/LTE SIM.
Yeah, you get less free data, but it fixes all SIM and connectivity issues, and even gets GPS fully working (another problem with using Sprint).
I can just flash CM/Lineage and have a working device on first boot. That's such a nice feeling.

Yeah, I think I may have to switch to their ATT or T-Mobile GSM/LTE SIM.... I'm not too surprised that CDMA isn't working properly, I've always hated CDMA service to begin with, haha. I only went with this originally because it was 500mb for free . Time to go order a GSM SIM card from FreedomPop. Any good deals on those right now? I'm not trying to spend $20 on one, if I can avoid it...
EDIT: I found this website (great info for FreedomPop! http://www.cranialborborygmus.com/FreedomPop-LTE-gsm-sim-review.htm Within that site is a link (http://www.cranialborborygmus.com/buy/FreedomPop-LTE-GSM-sim) to get the ATT LTE FreedomPop SIM for $1.99 w/free shipping +1 extra GB of data on top of the first month's 1GB. You just have to remember to switch your service to the free plan before the first month is up, else it will auto-renew at $27.99/month)
With Ringplus folding I'll be going to Mintsim, which uses T-Mobile, a GSM network. No more CDMA for me, for now.
I've been running this on Sprint without a hiccup for weeks now, never had to scramble to fix things even once. Everything comes to an end.
It doesn't work for mine, maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Sprint.zip
Hi, I am brand new to xda. I have been trying to download the sprint.zip file. Is there any way I can get it from an alternate location?
