Wetted vibrant with only one odd problem? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a vibrant that got wet now I have 1 odd issue. When is sim card is in it acts as if you can get no signal (cellular), but pull the sim out and it maintains a steady signal. I wife and I have twin vibrants her sim card works in my mind is not working hers (hers got wet and is one with the issue) . Now that said everything else in the phone works fine even wifi. I've even have been able to root add in a custom rom. now my question is, is there anything I can do to bring this vibrant back to life or am I stuck with a vibrant ipod touch?

In terms of getting the phone back to "like new"

Any other ideas? Some way to do a full reset or something? The wetting happened over 2 months ago and everything else works perfect. But it just can't be used as a phone.

Switch the SIM cards around to see if it is SIM card related. It might have just messed up your SIM card and not the phone itself.

Did that. The sim from the one that got wet works in other vibrant and other phones, but neather sim works in the one that got wet.

Did you try Factory Resetting and wiping data? You can also try ODINing back to stock but I think you've already done that. I think if you delete all your data, it might work fine. Make sure you back it up though.

So it sounds like your sim slot is toast.

I don't know for sure but with sim in you can do wifi calling but no cell signal.

Go to a repair place and get a new SIM slot or something

I don't think I did a factory reset. Just rooted and installed project V. And am pretty sure I did not Odin to 2.1
So that maybe my next option.

*cough* The post about bleaching the indicators wasn't saying you should commit warranty fraud, but... I'll leave the rest open to interpretation
Lets just say the ethical thing to do is buy a new vibrant at full unsubsidized price.
And on the flip side imagine if your phone just suddenly stopped working one day without getting wet. In that situation you walk into t-mobile and say wtf man.
If both of those are too extreme, replace it with a used phone?
No "full reset" can fix physically fried hardware.

I think my ATT Note is fried from trying to make it work with t mobil

Pro's please help!
Well, really do not know what to do now.
I started off by unlocking phone, then I installing CWM with Odin, I then installed saurom v7 and then Modem t989, Did everything the instructions said about wiping data before installs. Now phone just freezes after booting up. changes pages, but real real slow and keeps restarting. I then tried installing ICS, the phone works much faster and does not freeze, but now it does not find the t mobil sim card.
So, I tried to restore phone using Odin with a att restore file I downloaded at: http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...brick-att-galaxy-note-sgh-i717-android-2-3-6/
Phone is real slow and keeps locking up, nothing works.
So what do I do now. Phone was brand new in the box as of this morning.
Please help, real frustrated.
Swap it out or call warranty
Install CWM and then factory reset. Wipe data 2 times. Clear cache 2 times. Clear dalvik cache.
Install the stock att tar file from this address with Odin:
http://m-s-j.net/dagnarf/pda-odin-att-stock-kernel.tar
Make sure the only thing checked is auto reboot. And make sure you're using PDA.

Well call warranty and tell them its not functioning properly. Tell them you've had it over 30 days and they'll send a replacement.
The phone worked perfect out of the box in the morning. I tried the fix of using Odin to put on the ATT kernal, but the phone never started after 10 minuts.
Is there a fix to get ICS to read the sim card?
Right now it says no card is loaded.

Lmao, I didn't suggest he commit fraud and please don't tell me about these blood sucking cellphone companies. They charge you $35 to put a phone back in the stockroom even if its defective. I returned my original Note and got charged $35 even though the phone was clearly defective. I didn't sweat it because I just called at&t and they refunded the fee.
Or purchase from Best Buy since there is no restock fee.

+1 because the guy is doing all these risky things to the phone, and doesn't even know how to factory reset. Do yourself a favor homesite and just learn how to swim before just jumping into the deep end buddy.
Go back to stock by flashing with Odin like the above post mentions and start over and take baby steps. Maybe root and flash the modem just to get it working on your carrier...

Please help, Vibrant does not recognize sim.....[SOLVED, FOR NOW]

I have a Vibrant that i use as a back up phone since i am using the Galaxy Tab 7.7 as my everyday phone. I am using Straight Talk sim on the tab. I wanted to use the Vibrant this weekend and now i get a message when trying to set up the Straight Talk APN "Insert SIM card to access network services".

[Q] SMS Problem

I usually don't ask questions. I solve them myself. Now I have a problem I don't know what to do. I can send SMS, use Mobile Data, make and receive calls, but I cannot receive messages. They don't show up. I am on the AT&T network. Everything worked until one night, it just stopped working. Couldn't get texts. Being a teenager, that is problematic for me XD. I have been to two AT&T stores (local and corporate). They wouldn't help me since it wasn't a branded AT&T phone. Wow. They take the money no questions asked. The part that confuses me is. I didn't do anything to my phone the night it stopped working. Anyone have any thoughts.
-Done so far= Flashed to stock, factory reset multiple times, checked message center #

I think as default the spam settings is on, at least mines on. Might be worth a try.
Also did you restore your old messages when you went back to stock, if so maybe try deleting all messages, clear data in app manager. Back up your messages before deleting though
Yeah i deleted everything. Flashed stock and tried. Nothing. It makes me mad that i cant use my phone.

just to clarify - the new sim card worked for a week or so on your S3 and stopped working. while the same sim card(with an adapter) works on your captivate ?
i want to figure out what's the source of your problem.
other thing - if i understand you correctly you went to AT&T to fix your phone. i suggest go to AT&T center or call their support cause every company has a number for checking sms transportation and see in what stage it failed. it's just sending a code to a certain number and you should get the desired info.
i really don't think it's a software problem
Here are the details. One night i noticed i wasnt getting text from a specific someone and it was weird. Within the next couple of days i went to AT&T store. Got a new micro sim for my S3, didnt work... Got a regular sim and put it into a old phone they had lying around and it worked. I then had them cut it down to micro sim and put it into my S3. Worked for about a week and stopped again. Got a new regular sim and put it into my Captivate and it worked. So im on that until i have it fixed.
Spam off
Sms center number right.

If I were you, I would try with another operator's sim card to figure out if the problem is on att network or the phone. Maybe get one of those pay-as-you-go/prepaid plans and try to receive an sms- if it works, then the problem is on att's network
Thanks i will see if one of my friends will let me.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
When you put your sim in your Captivate did all the missed messages come through on the Captivate. If they did then I would say it's an issue on the S3, if not then it's probably an at&t issue
All of them came through yes. But why would it not work on the S3. And randomly? There was another guy on the forums that had the same problem.

Help fix 4G :(

Im going to explain this problem in a depth as i can.
I am s-off'd via jtagged, rooted and have twp recovery. I am on newest radio running NOS M7 v2.0.3
I can only connect to 3G for some reason with it reading eHRPD.
i do not know if it was reading this before i started the process of rooting since i never turn the phone completely on once i got it back.
So after some reading and advice i downloaded LTE on off to force 4G
It worked but at the cost of losing my mobile network causing me to not be able to make calls or send out text but i have 4G i can get on the internet.
Atm i am plagued with having 3G and service or using 4G w/o service... and this is a problem.
Also while on 4G it reads RSRP if that helps.
Idk if this is a hardware problem from me getting my device jtagged (which would suck since that means im stuck with it) or if it can be fixed.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated since im getting annoyed

I had the same problem when I got my phone back. Took it back to Verizon and got a new phone. I tried everything and nothing worked. It is like something happened to the radio. Tried to flash a new one nothing. Still haven't heard back from mtv on trying to get a refund.

Sigh thats something i wanna avoid so Ill just have to stay stuck until moonshine comes out. I really like sense 5 and I don't wanna go back to 4+... Then I'll get a replacement I guess.
As far as RUU to stock and seeing if I was on LTE I already did all that. I was almost looking into build.props but I assumed that wouldnt work either. So guess I'm just stuck on 3G unless it randomly wanna come back which I doubt unless somebody comes up with a solution besides just getting a replacement.

Correct they are free, but the guy I tend to see at the Verizon store always seems to launch that hboot screen everytime I go in there. He did when I had the SIM card swapped earlier in the year as it would disconnect from my network several times a day. So I just want to be on the safe side.
I had my SIM card replaced twice on my resound and both times went to the store without relocking the bootloader or anything. Didn't have any issues. They programmed the new card and I was on my merry way. Maybe call em first and without giving any of ur account information ask if u can get a new SIM card if uv rooted ur phone. It would suck to go thru that process if it's not necessary but I can certainly understand the better safe than sorry approach. The phone call would definitely be worth the time though imo.

I think it was resolved after I flashed my radio and then I went back to stock just in case I have any more issues in the next week. As if I do I will go back to the Verizon store and swap out my phone. But I'd rather be S-ON in case that happens and be that way for a bit. Plus I wanted to test the S-ON for future purposes of in case I needed to get back there I knew how to.

[Q] No 4G LTE after flashing Cyanogenmod 10.1

After flashing Cyanogenmod 10.1 I have only been able to connect to 3G and cannot connect to 4G LTE. Does anyone know how to get LTE to work on Cm10.1?
Try doing a full wipe. Data/cache/dalvik, reflash CM.

Also be sure you have LTE enabled in your network settings.
Were you ever able to regain LTE? This has happened to me as well. I've tried flashing back to stock, changing settings using *#*#4636#*#*, and a couple of others. Still nothing. Hate the idea of relying on 3G.

This happened to me. I ended up getting a new sim card and that fixed the problem.
Try putting your Sim card in someone else's phone that has LTE. If they only get 3G, it's your card. Of they still get 4G, it's something else with your phone causing the problem.

Something similar is happening to me. I'm on Carbonrom 1.8. 4g just stopped working. Have been reading around trying to get fixes. Got a new SIM card from Verizon and it still didn't fix it.
In my phone status it says I'm on CDMA - eHRPD:14, I believe this indicates I truly am on 3g. If it were 13 it'd be 4g. I think I have that right. I haven't come across much that's helpful although it seems this isn't that rare of an issue. Trying to fix as much of it as I can on my own. I've yet to revert back to stock. Have tried going to Beanstown, that did more harm than good (broke sms and didn't go to 4g).

Beans ROM is basically stock if you went to that and still didn't have 4G then there is something wrong with your phone. Try the dialer fix (Dialing the number posted above) and if that doesn't work I would start thinking about a warranty replacement.

Most likely would have happened anyways. Rooting and ROMing don't touch the modems that control your cell signal.

Lesson learned. Did it on my galaxy nexus all the time without issue.

This happened to me. I ended up getting a new sim card and that fixed the problem.
Try putting your Sim card in someone else's phone that has LTE. If they only get 3G, it's your card. Of they still get 4G, it's something else with your phone causing the problem.

Same thing happened to me. Verizon changed it for free.

Odin back to stock. It usually will solve strange issues like this.

This alone did not work...however, I got a new sim card after doing this and I'm back on 4g. Got fixed a bit ago but was unable to post. Thanks for the help. No 4g was bugging me, but unfortunately it means I'm stock for the time being
