Hello all,
I have a SM-A715F/DS and since it is an international version there isn't any USA CSC firmwares. I wanted to see which CSC has worked best for those in the USA, and better yet if you use T-mobile.
I've been using XXV (Vietnam) since I got the phone since that is what came with it but have had one issue that has driven me nuts.
At least 3-5 times a day, usually in the evening my data will randomly stop working. I've noticed that the network traffic icon in the status bar will show the upload error stuck on and I'll have zero data. The only way I've found to fix it without having to reboot is to switch the Mobile network type from LTE/Automatic to WCDMA/CDMA then back. Does anyone else have a similar issue they've been able to fix permanently?
I've tried manually adding various APN settings but that doesn't seem to make a difference.
Thanks

Does somone know how to solve this issue?
When I trigger an email update on the phone I continually get a warning asking me if I am okay with using data while roaming?!?!?!
Does the phone automatically think I am roaming because it is Australian? Is there a Windows Mobile Setting somewhere where I can define that my home market is Canada?
Some help here would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks in Advance...
you might try going into the account setup on the automatic send/receive page under advanced settings there is an option to use automatic send/receive schedule when roaming
Thanks for this response...I was hoping for a setting that would change the phone to make Canada as my home market...I am also getting SMS messages showing time 3hrs behind me (i.e. USA West Coast Time...)
Thanks Again, help anyone?!?!?!
Settings -> Regional Settings
Try changing that to your own country?
I wouldn't know otherwise.
Not particularly familiar with Telstra issuses, my phone was from UK running a standard rom with no carrier customisations/carrier lock and running on Optus HSDPA.
Never have these problems - I know i still roam onto the Telstra network eg is train tunnels etc.
Try using the in the Settings/Control Panel -> Connenctions-> Connection Setup. Country = Au, Operator = Telstra.
But I'm not sure if you have that icon since you are carrier locked (i'm guessing) to tel$cum.
If no one else is replying because its a region/carrier/rom specific issue try asking the question @ http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/
Hi All,
Disclaimer: Newbie.
During December I updated my N920I via OTA. Since this update my phone constantly has network drop outs, no 3G or 4G. If I force 2G it will sometimes work albeit very slowly.
Steps taken:
Simcard Replacement
Factory Reset
Manual Flash (N920IDVU3BPL2) via Odin
Prior to this update the phone was working fine with build N920IDVU3BPJ3.
I downloaded the N920IDVU3BPJ3 Optus specific image from Sammobile and tried deploying it using Odin however I received the "SYSTEM REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 1 BINARY 0" error. From what I have read it means that I have a locked bootloader?
I have been advised by Samsung that I am unable to downgrade? (I assume you can if you trip Knox)
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I haven't had a properly working phone since Boxing day
Thanks heaps
4g/LTE not working on N920I
Same here:
LTE was working fine on my N920I out of the box, but suddenly I observed that its only connecting 3G or 2G but not 4G. I thought that it may be custom rom issue.
I have installed Australia fimware through Samsung Kies. But it did not work.
Now I have manually installed Singapore firmware through ODIN
I have cleared internal storage and factory reset the phone
Upon forcing 4G only mode, the phone does not get signals and gets hot
I have tried inserting my sim to S7 and it quickly got connected to 4G, but 3G does not get connected to my phone
I have also contacted my carrier and they say everything is working fine
I have checked APN settings with carrier as well
I dont know what to do. Does this mean that my phone has some modem hardware issue which has broken modem due to overheat or bad code or something.

Not possible since the S7 worked! Sounds like you need a new SIM card that's all.. Or you can try changing the settings again by going to Settings>Mobile Network>Network Mode and see what it's on..

I have changed Network Mode to 2G only, 3G only, 3g/2G (auto connect), LTE/3G/2G (auto connect) modes one by one after your suggestion but phone is only working on 2G and 3G not LTE.
Earlier I was having N920IDVU2BPG3_N920IXSA2BPG3_N920IDVU2BPG3_HOME.tar firmware but now since I have installed the latest N920IDVU3BPL2_N920IXSA3BPL2_N920IDVU3BPL2_HOME.tar so now I cannot go back to N920IDVU2BPG3 anymore and I get error:
sw rev check fail device 3 binary 2 in odin.
Does this has anything to do with firmware or my Modem chip is faulty due to overheat or anything?

Hello,
same thing happened with my 9208 duos...
it happened some 3 weeks ago and only happened after my phone downloaded some updates..
carrier, sim all is good... issue is with phone software... and forcing it on lte only ends up having no signals..
Biggest prob is that it aint allowing to downgrade to another firmware with odin even...
ps. i dont think overheating of modem would restrict us to H & H+... if it was fried i guess there wont be any data at all...
if you are able to find a solution dont forget to let me know...
thanks

Hello, I''''ve a Galaxy Note5 N920I which wasn''''t bought from Saudi Arabia. My phone doesn''''t connect to 4G at all and at best even if it connects to 3G the connection is pretty much slow, even the Dial-Up calls are not stable and _quotlaggy_quot. I''''ve noticed that whenever I change the data connection to 4G network the device gets considerably hot at the power button side. All of this happened suddenly without any prompt about 3 days ago... I''''ve already tried changing the SIM card and testing it on other mobiles and the SIM worked just fine, also tried to change the APN and network settings but nothing worked. I am really concerned about the idea that the device might explode at any moment.
I have the same problem, my device N920I which I didn't buy from Saudi Arabia but I live there. Samsung S.A didn't help me out but rather than that they told me to contact with Samsung's branch in the country I bought the device from.
At the current situation, I have no choice other than waiting the device to explode maybe.
I regret that I didn't choose Apple's iPhone actually, as they would help me out without such irresponsibility.
Anyway, I am waiting for your assistance.
Any updates on this issue its getting worse day by day! Its summer here and i cant even touch my phone its becoming so hot.
My S6 Edge SM-G925V worked perfectly back in India on Vodafone Band 3 LTE until marshmallow update. In the Nougat update verizon/samsung has some issue with their cellular firmware - after that i am never able to camp to any LTE network.
It was running smooth until the G925VVZW4CPD2 (6.0.1) update, all settings are ok. I tried the other popular network sim of JIO ( Band 40) that also is same. Bigger problem is that the modem crashes far too many times on the 2g/3G also. I can see the networks bar go and come in a loop again and again, making phone useless.
Verizon surely has messed something up with the latest 7.0 update, which they deny (have contacted them). There are couple of forums in Sammobile on the same. No luck with solution.
Just yesterday got one more update of 2GB which brings it to one update over 7.0. No luck. Still no LTE camping.
Do not suggest to check the APN settings i have checked they good. Anythings else or you also facing same issue ?
Can anyone show how to get the blocked service menu (via codes) working ?
Got the same problem. I immediately updated my phone from Marshmallow to Nougat via system settings.
I got the S6 Edge Verizon. Made several readings and found out that the device is unlocked, so I bought a local LTE SIM card (SMART) here in the Philippines and inserted it to the device. I applied the appropriate APN settings for the LTE and tested the connection. No luck. I wasn't able to test the LTE connectivity when I was in Marshmallow though.
I was able to connect to the internet via 3G connection and IT WAS WAAAY TO SLOW (0.5 mbps)
I tested the same settings with the Galaxy S5 (Verizon), still with a local LTE SIM card (SMART). LTE connection was immediately established (15+ mbps... not bad). This proves that my area is covered by LTE and the problem is on the S6 Edge. Is there a way to fix this?

I have the same problem, since the update I can't connect to LTE, I've tried forcing the 4g/lte network but it simply wont connect.
so no answer to this yet huh? issue with wifes phone so i cant call her during the day but text are still getting through thank god!
I installed the new update via the smartswitch. Sw ver: NRD90M.G925VVRU4DQF3
This also did not solve the LTE camping issue on international roaming as stated in original thread, infact the modem crashes so often on 2G/3G also (GSM/UMTS)
Anyone here from verizon/samsung who can pass on the message to relevant folks that there is a major issue which they have not addressed. I am surprised such a common bug was not tested before releasing offical binary for update !! #shame.
Any updates?

Any updates on a solution for this? I finally got around to updating my G925V OTA with Verizon, and I've run into the same issue. I hope I don't have to roll back the update manually but I guess I might have to because I have searched for a solution everywhere and have tried everything but nothing works.
Exact same issue, modem crashes constantly (I'll have signal on H/H+ only, and then it drops. Signal comes back. Then drops), and I never get LTE.
Tried all the obvious solutions (e.g. reboot, factory reset, network reset, clear cache partition, boot into safe mode, reprovisioning from carrier, confiming IMEI with carrier etc.) but nothing works.
What did you guys figure out?

waiting for the solution as well. But i rolled back to 5.1.1
Hi.
My phone's model is SM-G780F. CSC was set to MID when I bought the device, but since it was taking so much to get OTA updates, I downloaded a Firmware and flashed it. My CSC changed to TUR and I can't see the 4g+ Icon (the one for 4.5g network) ever since. I don't know any other method to check If I'm connected to 4.5g network but I'm sure my carrier offers it where I live. Also, I noticed that there's a new opption to use 4.5g network in mobile network settings for me; so I tried to activate it and I saw no change in the situation.
I was thinking of changing CSC again (my phone is rooted), but I saw that after most of the available cscs, there's the word "single". Now, I'm not sure if it means that those countries have single-sim phones or it's safe to change. (E.G. BTU has the word single after it, but TUR doesn't).
I appreciate any help or suggestion. Thanks In advance
changing CSC just to get faster updates is not worth it. the countries who receive it first change all the time.
you will have to wait no more than 3 weeks longer than the first recipients unless there's an issue Samsung wants to address.
you can also see the downside in having the wrong frequency bands for where you are now.
switch back to your original CSC if you can, I've heard Sammy will be making it more difficult from now on (Android 11) to change, is it really worth the hassle ?
Hi guys,
I have the P30 Pro since it was released and so far never had issues when traveling (from Germany) to other countries (mostly within Europe).
Last time it (voice and data) worked fine was this year in January when I went to Switzerland.
In April however I did not even get a signal (only emergency calls).
My provider confirmed there are no restrictions and nothing has changed.
The only thing that changed was the pushed EMUI 12 Update end of March...
I checked all roaming and apn settings, switched the sim card to another slot, rebooted, etc. Nothing helped.
Once I leave the German border only emergency calls are available. Coming back to Germany everything works fine again.
I was wondering if I'm the only one here with that problem and, in any case, how it can be fixed?
Will bring another phone on my next trip for further testing.
Thanks for you help!
Is 'Network provider' in network settings set to automatic?
Yes it`s set to automatic, I did not try changing it when I was abroad. Trying it right now it lists other providers but I can't connect to those.
Tried the same thing on the company phone (Samsung) with the same result.
Should be automatic, so looks correct. I would try another SIM (new number), if behaves the same way.
