i notice that my phone have problem of losing connections (phone signal) quite often which causes the phone cant make or receive call. i usually go outstations and everytime when i travel i have this problem. i thought it was the problem from the android 1.6 but after updating to android 2.1 through the SE website the problem is still there. recently i end up with the conclusion that my phone have problem with GSM signal, whenever i go to outstation where there is no 3g/WCDMA in the area but suppose to have the GSM signal i got this problem. please bear in mind that i have change and tried the setting for WCDMA ONLY,GSM ONLY & WCDMA/GSM PREFERED but the problem still persist, and please bear in mind i have tested with my other phone and it works fine at those places. please advise if this is the problem of the phone itself or just the setting of my phone.

Exactly same case here,losing signal without no reason.Only one time I saw all 4 bars.Other phones works just fine.OS updated to 2.1,problem remains same,and that also affects to battery duration.
Dear all,
I have a Legend with S-ON (1.01), and I used fake-flash to change ROMs. The mobile phone has been fine with a custom ROM for more than 3 months now.
Suddenly, 3 days ago, the phone rebooted while browsing settings and when it came back on, the device could not recognize the SIM card or connect to the network and get a signal.
The problem is weird because the device (a) can find networks if I search for them, (b) can make emergency calls, (c) connects normally to both wi-fi and the SIM 3G internet but does not:
- get signal (always zero lines)
- recognize the sim card (always asks me to rescan for new contacts, and the process fails)
I tried wiping everything, I tried reflashing, I tried flashing another ROM. The problem persists.
Would flashing a new RADIO potentially help? It is the only thing I have not tried.
I am really at a loss here. The device did not fall down, or had a knock or any other user damage. The problem started suddenly and i can'f find a way out of it.
Anyone who manages to find me a solution gets a paypal beer
PS: Something important is that the phone DOES know that SIM card is there, and DOES partially recognize it: I am asked to put my SIM card PIN, which is accepted correctly.
Hey
What I'd do:
1.)Try the SIM in another device - could be a SIM problem...
2.) As you are 1.01, there is no risk in Warranty repair, so unroot and send back to shop if the sim proves OK in another device..
Probably a stupid suggestion but i had at one point no service when my battery cover was not on...
When i was rooting mine, i kept the battery cover off because i was stuck so many times in the middle of running step 1... so never bothered putting the battery cover on...
after i succeeded in rooting, i still saw no service... but as soon as i put the battery cover on , i was able to pick up the network
@QkSi1ver: The Legend's antenna is located in the battery cover, which is why you would have had no reception with it removed.

Which could be the reason for the SIM problems : if it is not set correctly it can't communicate proper with the mobile , that's why it asks for searching for contacts ( I had a similar problem a few months ago )
no network signal!

i don´t believe it! first of all, thank u kindly for ending my nightmarish odyssey through expert forums across the globe!
that just did the trick, uber cool! and yet it sucks, because i wasted most of my sunday and half of today to solve this, wondering why nobody even mentioned connection probs.
maan, i´m tired, i´m going to bed!
Hey guys,
I have a problem with my phone. It does not produce speed, which it should. For example, my provider says I should get about 6 mbits with my phone, but I hardly get 2 mbits. Also my latency suffers greatly. I contacted my provider and they told me that the issue is with my phone, LG p760. I tried to insert my sim in another phone it and internet performed flawlessly there, so it's definitely my phone's fault.
So is there some tweak or fix for this issue out there?
Thanks.
Hey XDA,
some month ago I damaged my phone after 3 great years with it.
I bought a new one via ebay and here is the problem. He said for sure its all fine with it. There should be no problem for sure.
First I had somehow reception issues. Sometimes the connection to my provider was off and sometimes it had 3 of 4 Bars. People told me its not a flashable modem issue, but a issue where i have to change some hardware.
so did I, changed the antenna and the receiver and still nothing changed.
I always want to find and fix the problem by myself, but now i'm at some point where i really dont know what else i could do instead giving it to a repair service.
what i did? changed all modems and stockroms which I could get from the internet and install them one after another and checked my connection via "Network Signal"
the biggest issue there was, at home the connection to my provider was good and at my girlfriends home it was totally broken.
maybe anyone could help me out there?
i just read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667326 maybe i should change the back plate where most of the stuff have connectors? like the GPS does? because if i dont have it on i wont be able to connect anywhere.
My Provider? Vodafone D2 and in other Cellphones the SIM-Card doenst have any problems with the connection/reception
Hello! I want to start by telling my english is not the best so i will do my best.
I have an s6 edge 925f that is around 1.5 years old. The battery is really bad so i watched a change battery movie on Youtube, ordered new battery. Got the battery and started to open up my phone.
Everything whent well some things was hard to figure out but nothing was broken and new battery is in. I started the phone and tested functions to confirm everything was ok. So i thought everything was ok until i was going away from home and my wifi was away. Now i noticed i got none signal from gsm.
Checked my sim card and controlled all settings and nothing helped. Opened the phone again and could not find anything wrong. So how can i continue my troubleshooting? Where is the antenna and what could got broken?
Another wierd thing is when i was drivning into another village my LTE signal found network so i thought everything was fine so i drove home. When i got outside LTE area the gsm was totally off again.
Any ideas whats happening with my phone?
Best regards Christian.
Anyone?
I have the same issue. I checked everyhting and all is well connected. Sometimes it will take LTE/4G signal but the phone gets very hot. If I leave it to GSM only I do not have any problem. Temperature is normal etc.
I have same issue with my phone and i think it is GSM unlock or faulty GSM IC because i purchased it second hand from somebody
Somebody told me i can fix this issue for you just by software modifying but i didnt trust him, have you checked your IMEI is real by checking in imei.info
The IMEI is real. The location of the antenna is in the midframe? Maybe a bad connection of some kind.
