Hi all.
ive been floating around the forums for some time as an unregistered user but i now have to resort to posting for help.
fist of all heres my details
Android version 4.0.3
Baseband 19100XXLPQ
Kernel 19100XXLPQ
Build IML74k.XXLPQ
ok so first of all id like to know if it matters that the serial on the phone does not match that on the sticker behind the battery although the IMEI number does,from what ive read on the forums this may be because i flashed a non official ROM?
when i originally flashed to ICS the signal was poor but i still used the phone and now i have no signal at all at home,
if i try and dial a number i either get `mobile network not available or not registered with network.
ive flashed the phone with so many roms,kernels and modems now that im in a complete mess with what ive actually done.
i checked with my provider `3 UK` if the phone was/is blacklisted but its not,ive had the sim replaced with a new one and also tried another 3 payg sim.
im not normally one to give up but i admit im getting close to it.
in hind sight i wish id taken a full back up whilst on gingerbread or even never upgraded to ICS in the first place ..ah well
so my thanks in advance if someone can help me and apologies in advance also if ive missed any information out.
cheers
theredi
just to add to this,
i just stood outside and scanned for networks,the 3 network appeared but when i select it it says:
your sim card does not allow a connection to this network
i spoke to 3 just incase its their end but they insist its nothing to do with their sim and is my phone thats the problem.
this is a sim only contract by the way the phone did not come from 3.
so u hav no signal??
imei may got reseted..
flash stock rom an c....
jus my sugettion wen in xda don float get registered
i have no signal or at best its extremely poor,just enough to scan for a network.
what do you mean imei may have been reset? the imei is the same as it was originally.
and ive flashed lots of stock roms and had no luck as of yet.
just tried android 2.3.5
Baseband 19100XXKI4
Kernel 19100XXKI4
Build gingernuts XXKI$
and its exactly the same :S
think ill just take the dog for a walk to the pub and see if theres an answer at the bottom of any pint glasses

3 uk modem ???
Should be on xda I9100_radio_NELP2_CWM
network have you entered the network settings ???

Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery

Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .

ok i installed I9100_radio_NELP2_CWM
i tried to post the link of where i got the file but im not allowed as im still noobed.
phone has 1 signal bar just about but keeps dropping to nothing,if i scan for networks operators it finds o2 but not 3
thanks for the replys by the way.

I meant have you entered the networks settings as supplied by 3 or are you hoping its auto set up after multiple flashing you may have wrong CSC .
jje
so is ur prblm solved did u enter settings as jje said,,,,if ur phone is working fine now,then post
no my problem is not solved however i have some updates after driving around the area (going to the pub)
ive not changed any network setting as i see nothing there to change.
i managed to get a few signal bars and searched for available networks,3 was ther,when i selected it i got this message:
unable to change networks while data service is in use.stop using current data service and select another available network?
i said ` ok`
...registering on 3...
...registered on 3 network.
after this i was able to make a call.
i noted some info at this point incase it has any relevance :
Signal bars: 2
signal strength -109 dbm 2 asu
Mobile network type:9
service state: in service
network:3
phone number : unknown
this happened in one spot on a 1 mile journey.
and now im back at home the signal is back to nothing.
the 3 signal in this area is normally pretty good so something isnt right
the info now is:
Signal bars 0 - 1
signal strength -111 1 asu
Mobile network type: unknown:0
network: unknown
service state: out of service
mobile number:unknown
ive always had a good signal at home and for all of the journey i just made but now it seems to only pick up in a very limited spot.
ive not entered any network settings at all,like i said theres not much i can see that needs changing?
thanks for your input guys its really appreciated.
I don't know if its your issue,but I had several phones on 3 which all had awful signal strength- I just changed to a different network.

3 isnt the problem here,everything was fine until i started fixing things that arent broke, and im old enough to know better :S
ive been with 3 for as long as i can remember with lots of different phones and never had any signal problems where i live up until now.
still unsolved
Weird. I have exactly the same problem. except Im on irish network meteor. same symptoms. ben on ics for ages, flashed a cm9 rom. nothing unusual,bam. no signal or very little.
try flashing NEKF2 or NELP3 modem
I have issues with 3 UK too, mainly because I like having the option to switch back to 2G to 3G to H, but 3 doesn't like the idea of GPRS so that's out the equation Plus, the network is pretty piss poor. I'm looking for a better modem, in all hope.

You need to ask the network if they are having problems .
Have you checked /remade your network settings ??
Could be a rom problem a modem problem a sim card problem or even a CSC problem with wrong settings .
Check settings clean sim card that does not help put your phone back to a warranty state flash stock rom and clear rom counter . Test if faulty take to a service centre .

Im on 3 also i have had a few times the same problem mate, lets say maybe 4 or 5 times, it usually happens if i lose my internet connection it still shows me having signal but cant make a call or sms. i got no answer from 3 either
Check the status screen. I get this and when it happens where it should say T-Mobile it says Emergency Calls Only. I figured my SIM card was at fault so wedged some paper behind it to hold it in place and the problem has almost completely stopped.

Are you guys running an I-9100T from 3? All modems from any rom you install won't work with the T. You'll need your stock KF4 modem.
Get it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15885779&postcount=329
I had a similar problem. Read more about it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1225849
tried going back to kf4 still no luck its only in certain places in me house where it does it everywhere else i have 1 or 2 or none at all bars of signal
3 customer service rang me up told them i wanted cancel the contract bcus of it. they knocked the contract price down from £30 to £25.75 for the text 500 plan with them. bit annoyed that i can only get signal in certain places of me house but cant argue on the price as well as gettin the phone for free
because 3 dont have a 2g network in the UK so if you dont have 3g coverage it will show a network signal but you cant make calls or sms
I'm having the same problem but with o2. I lose signal regularly at home as I live on the perimeter, but when I get signal bars back againwhen i go into town, it tells me that the network is unavailable. I have to switch off and on again to re register and then it works fine again until the next time the signal is dropped... It's annoying in the morning because i can wake up and see full signal on the phone all morning, but people are trying to contact me and not getting through because in reality, the network is not connected! I'm sure o2 have a 2g network, so I would presume it's a phone issue...
Hi all,
I live in France using SFR network and I get the same issue here using KI3 but I had the same problem with KH3.
the behavior on the phone is network seems to be good everytime/everywhere but sometimes people who try to reach me go directly to my voicemail and I receive sms with some delays.
When network works again, I mean I don't see it but I know it because I receive a couple of sms at the same time and a call from my voicemail
it means that my phone seems to be connected to the gsm network but is not, It loose the gsm network...
If you can give me your experience.
thx
I've got the same issue. (tacticman), I'm also on SFR network, i had this since KH3, never before. Now i'm on KI3, it's still here.
I always use CF-Root kernel, i tried to wipe, restore old backups, it does not change anything. I also tried GS II repair tools, nothing too...
The only thing I found to solve (temporarly) the problem, switch to offline mode (mode Hors ligne in FR) and then disable it.
But the problem occurs very often, it's very disturbing.
My IMEI number is still here.
So. I've had my S3 for quite awhile now currently on 3 network. Something really odd happened though.
I was able to use it normally in the morning, once I got to the afternoon it I lost all network.
The only thing that I can use to connect to anything is Wifi
Usually there would be a little "H" symbol next to my signal bar when it's full. Now there is nothing but the full signal bar.
When I pull the notification bar down I see a Emergency calls only though I have full signal
I've gone into Settings>More settings>Mobile networks>Network operators to see if I can find a way to connect. I can choose from the networks on screen. Yet it tells me Unable to connect. Try later. I select "Select automatically" which doesn't help either, as it tells me "Registered on network" WHAT NETWORK?!
The Network mode is on Auto
My Mobile Data is on.
My Apn is on "3 WAP"
I've tried rebooting the phone.
Restoring to factory settings.
Turning phone to Flight mode then off again.
Re-inserting Sim.
I've even rooted the phone to see if it would work!!
Can anyone help me solve this ridiculous puzzle? :crying:
Thank you for your time.
Mine is the same. On 3UK in Leicester

Last time I hd this issue, it was caused by a faulty SIM.
I think you have some really bad news. I looks like your efs folder is messed up.
you need send it back if in warranty.
otherwise you can get it repaired from some service centre. They will use SPT or some other repair tool to fix this issue.
You see full bars because you phone uses any available signals for SOS call.
Otherwise it will not lock to network.

Hi! since you are new here, have you read the Forum Rules? not that you've done something wrong but just to get you informed
Here are some suggestions i can give you
okay. if ONE fails, do TWO. if TWO fails, do THREE. if THREE fails, do FOUR.
ONE: reboot
TWO: try doing factory reset (don't forget to backup) / wiping caches
THREE: root your phone and flash another modem
FOUR: contact your network service provider about this matter
i hope this helps Cheers!
samsung galaxy s3 i9300 sim registers but only emergency calls
In my case (sgs3) the problem was caused by the fact that I also formatted the efs partition (something used by Samsung to store hardware identifiaction like IMEI, ...).
If efs is empty/gone/changed(?), the phone will be unable to make regular calls: only emergency calls will be available!
Peace!

why exactly did you resurrect a 4 months old thread?
Cos people run into the same problem all the time and that no permanent/clear solution is available. Any info is good, even if it's just to say that there is no solution yet

But this efs issue has been answered many, many times in the forum - usually people wrecking their £500 phone because they didn't read or understand what they were doing.
This forum is messy enough without needlessly bumping long dead threads that didn't have anything of use in. If people want really helpful information they should read the all-in-one sticky in the general forum.

Ok you're right, everyone should read sticky notes and try keep the forum tidy. Look, I don't want to go too off-track here but this problem is not just limited to Samsung handsets. I'm seeing similar reports about Sony's, which is what i've got. And there is no efs partition that can be saved on a sony because they don't come with one. I'm beginning to suspect that the problem might be with ICS/JB and this is why it's poping up on different phones/threads, with different roms etc.

why are you spamming this all over? this thread is 4 months old
Hey guys... I just picked up a
SGH-i717
v 4.0.4
Black Star V LF6
LTE Sim, LTE phone, downtown Toronto
I just picked the phone up on the weekend.... It's my first unlocked phone and my first rooted phone. I can't seem to get a network connection (I'm with Fido).... initially I tried a number of APN settings as I browsed through various threads on APN settings for Fido, Android and Galaxy Notes. Over the weekend I had connection of approx 1 to 2 bars, and was at least pulling light bandwidth off the edge network. I called Fido last night to have my network settings reset, and since them I haven't been able to get on my network. It seems to jog between no connection, 1 bar and 2 bar signal strength. Where before it said it was on the edge network it now does not connect to a network.
Calls to Fido show that everything is set up ok from their end; they can't support a non-Fido phone, and they say that they can't guarantee I'll get more than 2 bars connection on any non-fido phone. I was making calls & texts from the phone on the weekend whereas now, following the network reset from Fido, I have no connection. Yet when I Reset to Default the APN settings it populates the fido LTE apn without issue.
I'm lost... could someone please help me out here? I have no experience with either rooted phones or unlocked ones... and my furious googling and thread browsing just seems to be hitting the same recycled threads.
'
Where I'm left is now it's saying 'Not Registered On Network' regardless of the APN setting I use.
You need to check your baseband, or modem. And verify you have the correct one for the fido network.
I Dont know which radio image is going to work for you, but it sounds like the rest of the device is fine.
Check in the general section, and open the "super everything" thread.. There you will find many solution threads, and possibly the correct radio image to get your device running properly.
Radio images are almost always a .zip file that is flashed in recovery. and they are very easy to use. You simply download the image you want to try, and place it on your SD card. then boot into recovery and flash the file....reboot, and test.
You should read up on the flashing method too, and ensure that you understand exactly what you are doing "before" making internal changes to your device.
Additionally, you should make a nandroid backup of your current rom, just in case something goes wrong. then you have the ability to restore the old build and get the phone running again.
read, read, read....it's the only way to grasp this information...
good luck.....g
Thanks gregsarg, that's a great start for me. I will throw myself into that direction. Thanks again for your help.

Well, a slow evening with little progress. After reading much, I ran a backup and tried installing a radio...no error message, just says installation aborted... not sure what tdsp is but I tried downloading and installing goo manager as I read where CWM (which is what I.assume I have now) doesn't work that might, but the installer which was supposed to have rebooted my phone and installed, it did not. This was a good 3 hrs and I was spent for the night. Guess I'll keep plowing away tomorrow.
I created a TWRP backup and have begun flashing different radios/modems... When I try to access mobile networks with the different radios installed none seem to work... .... so far I've tried:
Blaze_4g_LB7_radio_ATTNOTE
icsblaze
ROGERS_MODEM-CWMXLA2
UVLG3modemfori717
VK1_Test
KID_TEST
I've always wiped the dalvik/cache before flashing a new radio. My baseband was i717UCLF6, but after I restored it's now T879UVLG3, which is wierd because UVLG3 was the last radio I installed before I restored. I assume the radio didn't restore and I'm now using a T879 radio as opposed to an i717 radio, but it does not prompt me for a sim card after the restore. I can select a preferred band using the *#2263# command, but none seem to drive a better signal - I'm still idling somewhere between a no-signal and unknown network (most of the time) and 1 to 2 bars. Some of the above recognized my sim and suggested either HSPA, GSM, etc on the *#2263# command, others showed nothing when I did that.
Am I correct in assuming I just need to keep doing this until I find a compatible radio and upon flashing and rebooting it will simply connect with a solid signal? Is there any more specific versions of radios I should be targeting?
Re: SGH-i717 No network connectivity
The modem isn't changed or restored when you restore a nandroid or flash a rom.
If your goal is t-mobile or wind or simplemobile. You have the correct modem installed.
Just go to settings and input your APN and save it. Not every rom has the apn's , and not every carrier automatically sends the apn settings.
Thanks Ranger... my goal is to get it working with Fido... but I'm not sure if that's synonymous with T-mobile or Wind yet
and ngretud
Anyone else have any input on Fido radios? I can seem to find one that works for Ontario....
consistent tomsisu
I've now tried the following radios:
ICS Kid
ICS Telus
ICS.zip
ICSblaze
Kid_Test
UVLG3modem
VK1_Test
Every single one upon reboot leaves me with no connection.,, I don't get what I'm doing wrong here... frustrating. Only way I can get any kind of connection after flashing radios for hours is to flash my restore, which brings me back to the edge2 network. I've tried the Good Blaze ICS newamss and the UVLG3modelfori717...n7005amss too, and while I do get a connection it's virtually the same as the existing crappy 0 to 1 bar, or none with a no-connection symbol.
Any help guys?
Anyone at all? I get weak to no.reception in most places and when I leave the city I have no.connection at all. If it was the radios then why wouldn't trying all those radios show improvement? At this rate I am considering just scrapping the whole thing and getting a phone tats locked to Fido if this is the best there is.
Is this the right forum for this?
Re: SGH-i717D Radio/Modem for Fido - help!
There is no such thing as a Fido radio. You flash a T-Mobile compatible radio (recognizes and uses the two bands/frequencies AWS), verify the baseband in phone settings is the radio you flashed, input the correct APN settings for Fido.
Things to check: your sim works with data in another phone, data is enabled in phone settings.

Thx... SIM works fine, data is enabled. Phone always says unknown under the baseband on phone settings. Pretty confident APN settings are fine, I had them confirmed with Fido. Is it just I haven't found the right modem/radio?
I tried the ones I've found most common in threads: iceblaze, KID, VK1 and even an UVDLE from an S2 thread.... still getting the same low, low signal, 0 to 2 bars with intermittent EDGE:2 signal.
Re: SGH-i717D Radio/Modem for Fido - help!
Ok, so you are sending/receiving data. But is that only using EDGE network or have you connected to 3G data network?
And if you don't have a baseband, the usual remedy is to return to stock at&t ICS rom and reflash your preferred modem.
Have you had better data strength with another device? Maybe two bars is all your location gets.

I know we are conversing privately but I'll continue the responses here in case it benefits someone else. I haven't been able to connect to a 3g data network yet.... Because my unit is an i717D (Telus), do I need to flash to the stock Telus ICS rom or do I need to use the AT&T rom?
I was using an HTC One S, same network but locked to Fido, default OS, same SIM card, and was getting perfect signal and data speeds. I can't see how a place like downtown Toronto would yield any signal issues... like you said it seems like it's a radio/modem issue.
Re: SGH-i717D Radio/Modem for Fido - help!
I hate to suggest it, but one old dependable T-Mobile compatible modem:
http://bayfiles.com/file/6FwV/WrxD5a/Blaze_4G_LB7_radio_ATTNOTE.zip
Its been modified and many have had success with it.
So I have flashed a stock Telus ICS ROM, and along with a stock Rogers radio am getting a baseband I717RUXLF4, Edge:2 signal, and even Fido under network. Getting 1-3 bars signal strength, but still no data.
I tried flashing like 5-7 ICS radios and all of them produced a 'no sim' on reboot. I had to re-flash the stock Telus ICS rom and the rogers radio to get it to read a SIM again...
Super frustrating as I feel like I'm going around in circles never solving the issue here...
Does anyone have experience with Fido modems in Toronto or Ontario? Everything I seen to find.is either for.Telus, Rogers, Wind or Bell...
Sent from my SGH-I717D using xda app-developers app
Another update for no one to read....
Tried flashing the Perfection ICS ROM... got same signal issues, installed the Rogers radio that seemed to work incrementally better with the stock Telus Rom... still floating around the issue of low signal...
There is a shockingly little amount of documentation on Fido setups here... most everything is either Bell, Rogers or Telus, with some Wind and Mobilicity.
Can ANYONE please provide me with some direction here? I think I've done my due diligence and respected the process for new people that these forums demand in terms of reading, research and such... I haven't spammed my issues anywhere else, and clearly seem to be stuck on this issue....
Ok, you need a modem that is 850/1900. at&t is 900/1900. So thats why you get 2G because in some areas you connect with a weak signal.
The Canadian stock rom and the Canadian stock modem for Rogers should work.
In network settings you may be able to select network frequencies. If so, select WCDMA only so your phone stays on 1900.
If that doesn't work, dial *#2263# and find the band selector, and select 850.
Hi All,
I've been a visitor to XDA for couple years now and greatly appreciate the people who post here who have helped me to custom my Galaxy SI, SII & SIII with generally no issues. I've had my SIII for about a year and a half now running CWM & CF root with either Darky's ROM or a Nightly build of Cyanogen Mod.
Since moving to a new house (few weeks ago) the signal on my handset drops as I make/receive calls. I assumed initially it was just the signal in the area and as I had been running a non-stable build I flashed a full release to be certain. I chose Delta ROM initially but have since flashed Darky's, Delta (again), Cyanogenmod (Nightly, stable, unofficial 11), multiple different Modems when running CM (area specific, model specific & the emergency one for EFSv2) and followed the guide to reset to stock (unroot, official recovery, reset counter & stock ROM) none of which has helped.
To be specific, I can use the Wi-Fi, 3G, send texts and use apps which use 3G to send texts (MightText); which to me (Novice at this stuff) seems to indicate that the 2G & 3G functions of the phone work. Yet still as I make a call, or receive one, I do not hear ringing, person speaking or any form of buzzing; this applies if I use the phone as normal, the speaker phone or a handsfree set.
Roughly 30 seconds into the call the network drops (signal bars go empty), the phone call displays 'Out of Network Area' or some such, the call ends and the phone returns to the home screen where roughly a minute later the network reconnects and I can use 3G again, send texts etc. as above, except still cannot make calls.
I don't know if it has any bearings but on Cyanogenmod the time before the network drops is around the 45-60 seconds mark, all other ROMs disconnect at around the 30 second mark and my GF has an S4, on O2 as well, and the signal on her phone has been temperamental lately, but has not shown the same problem, she is running Stock firmware without root etc.
If I had to replace a component instead of sending off to service centre, how difficult would that be?
Thank you in advanced,
Martin
If it still has the same issue with full stock rom then it's hardware, motherboard/antenna etc. Unless you often dismantle and successfully reassemble mobile phones it isn't recommended to try yourself.
Samsung give two year limited warranty, worth trying with service centre after resetting counter.

Yeee I had a look around alot of forums for similar issues but could only find posts where there was no signal at all or playing up due to modem etc.
In desperation I opened dialogue with an O2 Guru who said hardware, but just seemed very coincidental to have happened when we moved =/
Thank you for confirming though worth a shot!
Martin
You moved so you may not have the same signal strength .
You need to work out if it is the network or the phone .
Try another phone in your location with your sim .
Test your phone next to an O2 mast .
Wipe phone flash stock rom for your network and test .

The O2 Guru I spoke with said the signal at my home address should be OK, my GF has an S4 on O2 and although a bit crackly, her phone functions works and I have my SIM in a temp phone, a Galaxy Ace, which has also been working fine in the area.
It's a good idea to test closer to a mast, I don't know where the nearest one is to be honest, is there anywhere I can find this out?
My phone is currently flashed back to stock, that's recovery, ROM, counter, modem (I believe) etc. followed this guide to do so:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2323847
What boggles me is that the phone is able to send texts, use 3g and search for different networks to 'register' etc. but the phone call disconnects. I would have thought that the same component which connects to network to send texts would connect to make calls? Is it possible that where I am in a weak signal area, the phone has damaged the component by increasing the gain by too much/for too long? If so is that because there was custom software or would the settings for this component be the same as stock?
Bit concerned about sending it off and the possible questions/costs associated with this sort of thing. This is the first time I've had a phone which has a hardware fault, all the other times a phone has played up its usually due to the software which can be flashed using any number of methods found on this site.
What a frustration, sorry to ask so many questions, just at a bit of a loss as to what to do with it now!
Thanks,
Martin
In a weak signal area your phone has to output 10x the signal strength to maintain voice call, which it probably didn't have to before. Data and text use much less power, hence why they still work. To test just find somewhere with full bars strength, maximum ASU value in settings, about, status.
It sounds like a high resistance gap somewhere, it gets hotter during use until it breaks the connection - then cools to join again.
Just make sure you describe the fault correctly and it should be repaired.

Modem
ReFlash modem pls
Hello all,
I do have the following problem which is not new and mentioned in other threads but there is no solution and the threads are quiet old - so I hope it is OK to start a new one:
My LeMax2 is constantly dropping the network signal and the signal is in general very weak (I can only get calls outside, Internet is working irregular "sometimes", outside only. After arrival signal was fine. No difference. Flashed a couple of different custom roms, still fine. Ended up using SmallEUI. After a while (maybe two weeks) signal dropping began. What I tried so far:
- Flashed alternate modem file from SmallEUI, no difference.
- Switched rom back to india20s. Problem stayed the same. -
- Switched to LOS13 (which is still running).
- Entered *#*#4636#*#* switched and set GSM/UMTS band to automatic. Problem got worse.
- flashed various modem files, no difference
- renewed APN settings. No difference.
- Found about 4 threats regarding this problem, can not find a solution. This is exactly my problem: https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/help/mobile-network-problems-le-max-2-6gb-t3507500
Help? Please? What can I do now?

Nothing? None? Any idea? A little desperate here tbh...

Have you looked into your carrier? Maybe it's not a device problem..... Try a signal app to see if your connecting to the right bands, getting a good enough signal ....
Have you tried a factory reset?
When I was with T-Mobile they cut service in my area without letting customers know, I ended up buying a signal amplifier for my house to finish out my contract.

Hey,
thank you for your reply. I put the SIM card into another phone and it worked like a charm. So I think it is not the carrier. Rechecked the APN settings also. Regarding the LTE band I am not sure. Most of the time I only get a H+ connection so no LTE band at all. Thing is: The connection was really good with this phone in the beginning.
Factory reset: Yes, and even more (flashed 6 different roms I think and various modems)
Best,
TOM
x829 no signal
i lived in ireland i have x829 from banggood i don't have networking signal strange when i when battery is 0% turn off phone after Charge the battery signal come back for few minutes after again disappear
I have the same problem. I am living in India, and the signal drop is very frequent.
Earlier i only used to get H+, but from few days i get the LTE band but the signal fluctuates almost every second and very unstable - especially the data. The whole mobile network keeps dropping also frequently. Been a pain in the but*
Using RR v5.8 official
This thing solved the LTE stability problem for me:
Type *#*#4636#*#* on the dialer
select phone info
Click the menu on top right on action bar
Select radio band and select band 43
I get decent speeds with some sudden boosts from time to time. PS I am using Airtel in India.
I have the same problem. I am living in sri lanka, and the signal drop is very frequency The whole mobile network keeps dropping also frequently. Been a pain in the but*
i wish to get updates on this problem, cause this is a pain. tried every method mentioned. tried different new roms (rr, LOS, Eui, stock 26s and 21s roms)
Maybe someone has solutions?

Hey, did you have success in resolving the issue?
I had problems too with my le s3 x626, it didn't recognize the sim card anymore, froze, and had to force reboot. Luckily, it was a battery issue. For some reason when the phone goes under 10%, it does that. Easily solved upon charging (happened more than once).
Same issue in the philippines
Heyyo, I'd recommend looking into AEX as @shivatejapeddi recently made a bunch of changes for VoLTE and carrier settings that might help.
Otherwise? It could be your carrier might need further apn and carrier configuration changes in order to work at least on custom ROMs.
Another thing to try? Replacing your /system/etc/apns-conf.xml with this one from the Pixel 2 XL. Download it > reboot to TWRP > mount system > make a copy of that /system/etc/apns-conf.xml somewhere as a backup > replace the /system/etc/apns-conf.xml with the one downloaded > reboot to system > reset apn configuration to defaults to force ROM to reload apns-conf.xml

magandang umaga! I'm mestizo and my wife is a Filipina, thus my son is second generation mestizo hehe. What carrier you with? I can try and look into it but no guarantees I can fix it.
Please try the above apns-conf.xml to see if that works
Has anyone found a solution for this problem? I think I have tried every rom and every medem file but no luck...The one thath works best for me is EUI 30s from Crisbal, but still i some times lose the networksignal from time to time
I hae let phone here I CANADA. same prob. Phone ..drops service every 5-10 mins. Carrier is not the problem. As.ive tried many
same problem
leeco le 2 x526 : signal if is starting , after i enter inside building ...it drops instant .... try different stock roms . version .and custom roms (now i am on RR 6.0 - good for camera ) .....baseband of my carrier are recognise , 5 diff. modem firmware .... nothing .... any sugestion is worth trying ..... lets find the solution together .
Ok this is super weird but the Leeco Le Max pro I used had the same issue. BUT. When I'd switch on the hotspot, and let someone connect to my Leeco, they get unrestricted LTE speeds. I cannot use my phone data plan but others can using my wifi So. I don't know exactly what's the issue. All those with this issue do check their hotspot capabilities. Thank you.

same problem
tried everything, the last one to do for me is REWRITE IMEI on the phone, i noted a strange IMEI=0 or some difficult in reading it (x526 from myefox.it)
Dialing *#*#4636#*#*
Hi devrookie,
I did it as you mentioned in your comment above...didnt worked
Selected radio band...there is no option of 43 infact there is nothing to select...
anyone got this resolved guys? i just bought two leeco x520 phones and both have the same issue. wifi keeps dropping over and again every 10 seconds or so. It's like a loop........ drop .. reconnect .. drop .. reconnect .. and so on. tried two roms so far, currently on lineage os 16.0 and have the same issue on this rom too. on top of the connectivity problem, a new problem has came up .. the phone shuts down while playing games which is super annoying. and the phone heats up a lot while recharging the battery. i'm so fed up
