Phone losing Network connection randomly during call - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well I had this phone for a month now, and it was fine all along until a couple days back, what happens is during a call randomly (once a day or so) the phone loses the network and the call gets disconnected, then it comes back after a few seconds. The 1st time this happened, it didn't come back and even switching to airplane mode didn't work, I had to reboot. Now I bought this phone used and I don't recall making any changes. I was on LPX modem initially then changed to kh3 so reverted back to lpx but the problem still persists. Even tried cleaning the sim card and contacts. Is this a hardware issue or a software issue or most likely a network issue? Considering it worked fine for almost a month.
Does this happen to some of y'all?

Hmmm, what you trying to say here? The network is at fault? This didn't happen on my earlier i9003. And this does happen once almost on a daily basis.

Had similar problem few times... disappeared after random rom changes. Also could be something with usb port (this broken bastard even changed my phone state to driving mode while conversating, in result my phone turned speaker on and was screaming to my ear in public places...) If it connects to network properly everytime after reboot I would say its hardware or software problem - that means, something that you could handle directly or indirectly.

Well now it just drops the network altogether only when there is an active call. It doesn't/hasn't happened to me while using data or anything like that, just that it drops the call along with mobile network and reconnects after like 5 seconds. Quite annoying this. What you have mentioned is some contact in your usb port (dirt etc) causing the phone to jump to driving mode. Were you having similar network issues?

Any other users having this similar issue?

Well this happened again today, lost network & came back in around 8-10 secs, very annoying and only when a phone call is being made or during. Funnily it only happens once a day.

Well happened again, this time not during a call but when it was using mobile data (3G), a vodafone guy called me & told me to change my sim to see if it solves the problem, for now I set my phone to GSM mode only and not WCDMA, will observe & see it it makes a difference.

Funny how it came up all of a sudden, I pray it's not a hardware fault though, let me know how the reflash works for you. Meanwhile I'll try CM9 but I read in the thread that many people are having this issue on it, so it just might make it worse!

Don't think it's hardware related... sunt started after flashing 4.0.4 .... did a full wipe and reinstalled lpw => speed mod => slim ics => siyah 3.3.3d hope everything is good. flashed this morning. will wait a few days

I've had the exact same problem, and can't ever recall it happenning on gingerbread, Only noticed it on CM9. Looks like an ICS sandwich bug, it talks to the hardware differently so this would explain why gingerbread doesn't seem to have this problem, If you still have these issues maybe try a gingerbread modem, and see how that goes. They are backwards compatiable with ICS.

Well I went a day without this happening to me on CM9, I'll try it out for another day or so to check.

[Q] Strange Restarts

Hey,
My SGSII is on the KE7 stock and rooted by CF-Root 3.7. My device sometimes restarts completely on itself and sometimes android restarts only. This is so annoying and I've searched a lot in the forums but I couldn't find what is the problem exactly and how can I solve that.
Thanks in advance.
Check and clean the battery contacts, there is another thread about this problem. It seems to only effect a few devices.

I think it's related to software problem, because sometimes android only restarts.

Anybody have this issue with KE8 ?
I have these restarts too, and i can reproduce them. If i put on some music with the build in player it reboots, sometimes at the 1st song sometimes at the 4th its a bit random.
I also have this reboot issue if i want to upload a picture of 4MB or more with twitter.

It sucks big time considering that I'm merely 3 weeks away from mine! :-(
Hope someone could come up with a fix soon!
I wonder if all the handsets are affected...
How weird is this. As i posted my reply i had a callout to a job. As i was on the phone to the BT Tech Guy my phone went blank and would not wake up. After the call it would not boot. i had to reinsert the battery. This is not good imo.
Im now thinking of returning this phone as its more trouble than its worth
Here's another thread I just found:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062065
They seem to suggest that a downgrade fixed their problem.
What im going to do is install the stock firmware without data ect.
See how its goes then maybe if that dosent work send its away to phone heaven. Or install cm7 when its available .

Galaxy S III Wifi Issue

Hey guys!
I'm not sure if this is my router problem, or my phone, but most likely my phone.
The wi-fi keeps continue to connect, and disconnect.
Here is the thing. When I bought the phone brand new, my phone behaved normal regarding the wifi, but when I flashed to a XXLF2, and using Checkrom with Siyah kernel, the wifi kept continue connect/disconnect all the time, so I gave another shot just reflashed everything to stock of XXLF2, still same problem.
Now, yesterday, I was flashing a new rom XXLF6, and then Omega rom, the wifi problem was still the same, so I gave it another try and just flashing the stock XXLF6, but the problem didn't either went away. I tried Ninphetamine kernel didn't help much either.
Anyone know what's going on??? You think it's hardware issue here, or something with the rom?
Hope someone could please help me out!
Thanks a lot!
Hi,
I not have the exact answer to you, but I think it is a hardware issue!! I have 2 router in my house (with the same ssid) with my SGS2 there is never problems when I cross the zones, it connects straight away to the other router. BUT with SGS3 it is a pain in the a..... I often need to turn on and off wi-fi several times before it can connect!!!! I think the 2 identical router confuse the SGS3....but not the SGS2 or my Tab. If there is only 1 router it connects straight away......
Yeah! That is actually what I was thinking too. It might be the hardware fault! I'm going to contact Samsung tomorrow, and see what's going on!
I have the exact same prob really annoying,but wifi driver is in kernel.I sometimes get "error bad connection " message.
Doesn't matter what kernel I use though.

Do you guys Have ram booster or any other app the like? Ram optimización turns wifi off...
No, but I do hit Clean Memory in the task manager quite often (because presto library is a piece of junk!) maybe that turns it off. I'll test tonight...
I'm also having the same issue, disconnecting, but appears connected in the Wifi settings. I have to go in and turn of power saving mode, but it comes back on after reboot.
Logicalstep
I had this wifi disconnect reconnect issue at work, but never happens at home. I initially thought it was some app I installed, I removed them and still happens at work, but not at home. All the phone settings mentioned here didn't make a difference.
I don't change anything on my phone, so I chuck it to incompatibility, and not an issue with my phone or it's settings.
Home Netgear WNDR3300 pretty much default settings.

What radio/modem version did you end up with, my UBLF2 (TTT) stayed the same after the update applied.
I had issues at work. But not at home.
Today I told it to forget my B/G radio and to connect to the N radio. No disconnects, none..
No changes made to the phone at all..
2 phones - only 1 with wifi issues
Hi, noob here. I have been following this issue on androidforums.com (same user name) but since the "fix" came from this site I thought I'd share my relevant info here as well.
My husband and I received 2 Verizon SIII's (32GB) this weekend. Mine works great. His, however, has the wifi disconnect issue. The *#0011# is only a temporary fix for him.
So, for what it's worth, it's not likely to be a router problem, since 1 phone has no wifi issues and the other does.
We talked to Verizon at lunch today and they were interested in the problem and will be calling us at home this evening, with a Samsung rep. I'll post more once we've heard from them. For now though, Samsung does not have it listed as a "known" issue since there haven't been enough reports on this bug.

The phone stops make and receive calls

I tried to search for the same problem through XDA but found nothing.
The phone is GT-I9300, Android 4.0.4, firmware I9300XXLH1. After some time after reboot the phone stops make and receive calls. The signal in statusbar is full and in notification menu I can see the name of my mobile operator. First I thought that something is wrong with my SIM-card. But after every reboot, as I already mentioned, for some time there're no problems.
Besides even after calls become unavailable, 3G and Edge are working fine.
May be someone can suggest any solution?

Weird. Doesn't sound like it's actually losing signal, just loss of functionality heh. As you even noticed you have signal and the radio is still functioning, at least for data, just not for voice.
I know it's a pain but I would start by either factory defaulting the stock ROM and see if it persists or if you want try a custom ROM and make sure to do a full wipe first.
The ****ty part is loss of data. If you have CWM installed then maybe make a nandroid first so you can revert back if it's no different

It sounds like a software bug but to carry across a fresh install.... That's not right....

So i have 2 sims of one mobile op. The factory one and cut one. I began to think that the problem is with the sim card. So I tried both and nothing changed.
So may be there is any problem with micro-sim slot in the phone? May be the hardware problem. But if there is any hardware problem, why does the phone after airplane mode or reboot register in the network successfuly.
Besides when I call someone (while the network is still available) no matter how long the conversation is - the phone is available all the time.

Hey, just wondering did you manage to fix this problem?
My S3 is doing the same thing, only 2 weeks of having the phone and it started doing it today. I got full signal but it says I can only make emergency phone calls. Done the whole battery in & out, reset factory settings, and still nothing. I thought it may be the software update as I am yet to update but I'm unable to since I can't have data connectivity, I was going to use a friends' Wi-Fi to download the new firmware but it sounds like that doesn't help either?

Phone loses signal and cannot reconnect to network

Hi guys,
I wanted to post this in the development thread but since I'm new in here this wouldn't happen
So, here's the problem - my Samsung I9100 phone loses signal and cannot reconnect to the network unless rebooted. You can see the kernel and ROM state from the screenshot.
Every now and then the phone loses signal and unsuccessfully tries to reconnect to the network. I cannot make outgoing calls but am able to receive incoming (but only sometimes, in some cases it wouldn't receive incoming neither). Only a reboot solves the issue but this loss of signal happens at least several times a day and this is quite irritating.
Other problem is when the phone is at a state of no signal, it writes some logs in the system partition in \data\logs which quickly take up all the free memory.
I've been using this ROM since v 3.7. I've updated it twice to get to v 3.91. Through all the releases the issue persisted. I haven't had these problems with other ROMs.
I read somewhere in here that this might be a problem with misplaced or worn-out SIM card. So I put the same SIM in my old Nokia phone and tested for several days - no loss of signal observed in that period.
So any help or advise would be appreciated.
Could this be a ROM issue or a hardware problem? Maybe a kernel problem?
Would be glad if more advanced users give some ideas.
That's it for now, if you got any questions regarding the problem or I missed some information let me know.
Cheers!

OK, seems like the easiest solution is to just change the modem...

Hi have you solved the problem, as I'm having the same problem ?
hi :cyclops:
when I changed the modem to XXKI4 I experienced the same issue almost immediately after reboot....
then I flashed XXLPX (on random), rebooted again. Since then no problems observed, signal strength is high and 3G speeds are OK....

Hey, having the same issue... Anything new with this modem?
I've got signal lost almost every day, sometimes few times a day, every few days the signal drops and not back (when I'm clicking on 'mobile networks' I've got the message: "insert sim card - insert sim card to access network services") and only reboot fix this problem (airplane does nothing).
Tried to clean the SIM card, the sim housing, Its not happening in specific place...
I know people who have this issue and uses a different ROMs/Kernels/Modems ROOT/NO ROOT...heres a little list:
Im using right now STOCK 4.0.3 LPG, modem: LQ6 with Siyah kernel 3.4.1
Others using other stock 4.0.3 / 4.0.4 with modems: JHLP9, LPS, ...
Someone mention [not here] about lpx modem that fix it...
If someone else tried it would be great if you share.

Signal lost - log screenshot
Ok, I took a screenshot from alogcat at the same time I've lost the signal... (I export the whole log but seems this app is not that smart and its export only after the signal lost so its irrelevant)
At screenshot - only the 'error messages'
Can anyone analyze this error messages? why is it happens?
Suddenly the signal lost sometimes while call sometimes not, at this time I had to reset the device to get the signal back (its happens once per few days), sometimes its lost and back after ~1 minute...
Don't know if this device has a problem (all the problems that i've heard are from this device, no matter what modem each one use) or its something else....
Would like for some help with this log, and the guy who tried the LPX modem - if its works fine now....
Thanks!
no, it doesn't work.
was OK for a few days then the problem started again.
1-2 times a day I have to reboot due to signal loss.
and the irritating part is that while with no signal the battery drains a lot and the don't-know-what-are-these-for logs keep on generating, filling the whole internal memory......
will continue to dig for a solution....

no, roaming is not enabled and I have tried using the SIM on another phone with no problems
one strange thing is that the disconnection happens absolutely random... at first it happened several times a day.. at recent times it is more rarely - every few days.. disconnections are not related to any location or certain conditions of phone usage... simply no idea
soon I will change the ROM (respectively the kernel as well) and see if this continues

posting an update on the situation...
I changed the ROM with full wipe of data as well as internal memory format. Installed the latest 10.1.3 stable ROM from cyanogen - this means different kernel, different radio and a stable ROM.
And it goes on.... if I had money right now I'd just change the phone cos I'm getting sick of this ****

As per experience this is also due to battery getting weak. Monitor the % you get this problem the most. If it arises around tje same % level then its battery. Also check your battery by rotating it on table and note if it rotats easily and there is any bump in the battery

This is fault of efs in most cases.
Try jelly snap rom which i have most stable and see if it resolves the issue
Otherwise search how to repair efs if pissible

[Q] Task650 (4-14) - No Carrier Signal For Several Minutes After Boot

Been having a problem with Task's latest ROM (4-14) and the previous version (4-1). Both take several minutes to obtain carrier signal (AT&T) after booting. I've tried flashing with full wipe several times, different modems, and adjusting APN settings, but nothing fixed it. My phone usually picks up service after about 5 minutes, but sometimes I've waited 10+ minutes and had to reboot again, because it still hadn't connected. Also, maybe this is just how it's supposed to work, but I've noticed that while my phone has no service, if I go to System Settings->More->Mobile networks->Access Point Names there's nothing there at all. Just a blank window until it finally connects. Is anyone else having this problem or know of any possible solutions? Thanks!

Have you tries rebooting with airplane mode enabled and then disabling it when fully booted? This has worked for me in the past, although I've never had to wait as long as you've stated you have for a signal.

I tried this method and it didn't work for me , I even did a complete wipe and re-flashed the rom and gapps, I also re-flashed two separate modems amd was never able to connect to the mobile network. when I first flashed the ROM everything worked great, but when my device went to deep sleep it never came back

Thanks for the advice, but it's a no go. I reboot with airplane mode enabled, but when I disable it my phone still takes forever to get a signal.

I have the same problem despite wiping everything many times. mine take approx two minutes to get back the signals and meanwhile emei and baseband remains unknown.

Mine does exactly the same. Baseband is unknown and there's no IMEI info until it finally connects. I also noticed that under service state it said "radio off" until it connects and then changes to "in service".
That's very odd. It's not just this rom it does this on is it?

I went to the Jedi ROM with no issues....I've used tasks ROM since its infancy and never had one issue until this latest update. Kind of bummed. But in the same hand I'm liking the Jedi ROM also...:thumbup:

Yeah dude, I've been using Task's ROM for a while now and this has only started happening since the 4-1 version. I even flashed back to the 3-13 build just to make sure and this problem doesn't happen with that build. I was hoping the 4-14 build would fix it, but it didn't. I did see on Task's developer thread someone made a post about having this issue, but it looks like they never posted a logcat or anything to help Task resolve it. I would gladly post one if I could, but I'm new to XDA and they won't let me post on a developer thread.
i have same issues. along with my time going screwy from time to time.

I no longer have any issues with the time zone changing in the newest build (4-14). I don't know if you're on that build, but the workaround for that problem was to set your own time zone manually.

i am still on 4.1. i am not prepared for a full wipe yet.
Apparently, what's happening is the radio doesn't turn on during boot (Radio baseband not recognized error or something). I fixed this problem by turning on the wifi temporarily then turning it off. Apparently this will turn on the radio and should stay that way. I hope this works for you.

That worked dude, thanks! It took me a couple tries, I probably didn't give my phone enough time to boot, but I got it. Definitely a lot faster than waiting for it to connect on it's own.
I wonder why this only seems to affect some of our phones, but not the majority? If I didn't know any better, I'd say it almost seems like they have slightly different hardware. I bought mine directly from AT&T the first week it was released. Don't know if they possibly made any hardware revisions since?

Did you try turning off the "Automatic Time Zone" option in the Date & Time settings? My phone always sets the time to GMT+0 when I have that turned on.

I have been having this problem as well.
Yesterday I did another wipe and reinstall. I did a full wipe (and in mounts formatted everything except my external SD which was temporarily removed.) after flashing the rom, I rebooted recovery and did another wipe data/factory reset and wiped dalvik, then I installed gapps. I then formatted the cache and data again and rebooted the phone. It seems to have fixed the issue for me.

Thanks for the suggestion, but this didn't work for me. Tried it exactly as you said, but still have the problem.

Same issues here, Ive just resorted to manually entering the time zone, but no solution for the delayed connection.

Known issue for months now about the time zone. And apparently some others have experienced a longer than normal connection delay too. Weird.

I have the same problem. I have been using Task's ROM for a few months now and I never had any problems.
updated to version 4-14 and was enjoying it until today. Lost my phone service, for some reason the IMEI got corrupted...I don't even have the access point names choice in mobile networks...no amount of rebooting fixed it...had to flash the phone with a backup file and so far its doing fine..
