Roaming Constantly

Hey all! I have a very odd issue with my SGS II i can't figure out.
I bought a SGS II from Telstra outright and rooted it, installed CWM, installed CM9 and had been happy for about a month. Last night i flashed a few different roms to try them out (being a massive MIUI fan). Anyway, after flashing a few roms and playing around a bit i realised my phone was no longer connecting to the Telstra network and the signal icon was grey and no apps could use data and only rarely would it check for messages, often getting 3 or 4 sms's at once.
So i flashed back to CM9 today and still have more or less a mp3 player since it refuses to connect to telstra.
I have tried many many modems including all of the telstra shipping ones and wiped before and after each to make sure they stuck. (An idea from whirlpool in my readings).
Also i have tried many different roms.
Can anyone shed any light on what is wrong? I should get full reception from telstra in my room, it being the dominant network in Australia.
Also, when i choose search for networks it just keeps saying it is looking for networks until you quit it, and i have full bars on the roaming network, presumably optus or vodaphone.
Thanks!
Okay, turns out i just needed to re-seat my sim card (remove and put back).
So yay! Fixed!

Random No Service Error ?

I've had this Galaxy S II since launch and everything was fine upto the first ICS beta firmwares, after that I just keep getting random no service which is starting to get annoying.
I've tried reinstalling older firmwares which didn't produce this problem in the past but it still happens and I've tried different modem files.
It's not signal strength as it's usually very strong.
Any suggestions guys? I could really use some help.
ive had similar issues on three uk.
My problem was my phone was picking up 2 cell towers and automatically connecting to the one that was furthest away, thus a crap signal all the time and sometimes nothing.
I solved it by going to the mobile settings, doing a manual carrier search where indeed three appeared twice, i tried them both to see which was the better one, then i manually registered to that one.
Since then ive had no problems at all.
I'm with giffgaff and I selected O2 manually, still getting no service.
Thx for the suggestion though.
Bump
Would like to sell this phone soon, so need it working normally.

Call Drop Outs on S3

ive got an s3 which constantly drops out.
im currently using the Telstra network in Australia which is a pretty good network.
my old phone was a htc sensation xe and i never had any issues with it on the same network.
Since a purchased this phone i constantly get call drop outs at random times even though i have full reception.
I have the latest firmware and im still getting the same issue.
My wife also has an s3 and having the same issue.
Im wondering if anyone may have a solution for this as i really like this phone but its really annoying not being able to use it.

[Q] galaxy s2 keeps losing wifi connection

Hi,
We have 2 galaxy s2's in the house one works fine but the other (luckily for me its my wifes) keeps disconnecting from the home wifi, it even requires the password to be re-entered each time. I have cross referenced settings on the 2 handsets but can find no differences.
Model GT-I9100
Android version 4.1.2
Neither phone has ever been rooted
Any ideas you may have will be highly appreciated
Cheers

[Q] Data Connection Problem With The CM10.2 in The XT910

Hey Guys...
I've faced a problem these few days with data connection of my Razr XT910...
The Signal is very good.. and the APNs are correct :good:.... But there's not internet... no 2G and no 3G...
I'v tried so many basebands and radios... but no data.....
I'm On the cm-10.2-20130819-NIGHTLY-umts_spyder...
Note: It used to work on the cm-10.1.2-umts_spyder... And I'm using Meditel in Morrocco... And I got this problem only with the new CM10.2...
I hope u help Me guys... and Thanx...
I have exactly the same problem on cm 10.2 20130817. I have data but worse. This is what I do : go to apn and delete the proxy and the port of there is any. Remember your proxy and port coz this may not work on any carrier. We use the gsm razr so it might work.
Ndietya
Still no data...
I did that... and I deleted the proxy... but no data... :/... is there any hope that this might be fixed in the 20/8 Nightly??? or I should give up on this... and go back to 4.2.2??
I mean I liked this 4.3... :/...

I had same problem with the first nightly, and almost same problem on every reboot, it takes a long time to connect and sometimes no data. I fix it rebooting the phone until I get data back.
Same Problem
I'have similar problem!
My CM is cm-10.2-20131102-SNAPSHOT
Phone network is died. No data and no network!
Same issue on i535...
I had the same problem on my galaxy s3 i535. Flashed cm.10.2 nightly and everything's was perfect. The rom preformed as expected but after two OTA updates I noticed degrading network connection. At first is was almost unnoticeable. Web pages would take a little longer to load, when I wasn't connected to wifi, then the following day I had only 3g connectivity. The next morning nothing. No 3g, no 4g. I couldn't send or receive calls or text messages. My phone kept telling me I was roaming when I was sitting in my home. I tried wipes and factory data resets, stock and custom Roms, numerous radios and still nothing worked. Thankfully my device was a replacement device and was still under warranty. I wiped my old gs3, flashed back to stock and reset my flash count. Now this is the interesting part. Apon activating my new device I decided todo I little test. I swapped out my old Sim and the Sim I got with my replacement into my old s3. Full 4g connectivity. Not sure how but I think it fried my Sim... One thing is certain, I won't be flashing any release of cm until devs confirms they've found a solution...
