[Q] No 4G and cellphone signal gets lost intermittenly - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Hello,
I have an AT&T galaxy Note.I was using my phone just an hour ago browsing online and all of a sudden I lost my 4G signal. There is no internet connection at all. I've tried restarting the phone couple of times. I took the SIM card out for about 10 mins and still nothing.
I also then notice that the cell signal would intermittently disappear as well hence I cannot make a phone call.
My phone is ICS, I cannot exactly remember which ROM this is and I cannot remember which thread it came from but the zip file is titled "SGH-I717-UCLF6BS.ZIP". From what I understand, this is a slightly modified samsung ICS ROM and the superuser root app is built-in to this ROM.
Here's the spec:
Android version: 4.0.4
Baseband version: I717UCLF6
Kernerl Version: 3.0.8
Build Number: IMM76D.UCLF6
Any ideas what happened to my phone and fix? Thank you guys, I appreciate your responses!!!

UGH!! I think I posted this in the wrong forum. I apologize!! =( Please move if needed.
Thanks!

Do you live in San Francisco?

I am. I just started getting this intermittent data and signal loss.
And I am in SF.. is there data outtage?

Yes I do.. Is this just an outtage?? My wife's iphone has 4G and she never lost the signal while I still don't have 4G on mine.
Just found this Padawan ICS ROM which is very tempting to install. If I still don't a 4G by tomorrow, I'll flash the ROM and hopefully that fixes it.
Thanks.

Roms don't correct this issue. I would give it a little time, verify APN settings, make a complete backup, and wait.

[Q] [optimus v] no 3G

i have been using my optimus v for close to a year now. i got it right when they had their huge data outage last year. i have had official 3g data on it for 2 weeks, then kaput...nothing. i have had service turned back on twice in this year and neither time have i had 3g.
im running a CM7 port (BOBZHOME CM7RC1) on my phone now, but the 3g didnt work in stock either. phone does though.
virgin has "restarted" my 3g from their end countless times and walked me through stuff on my phone. nothing has worked. the only weird thing i can find is that my MEID looks different from my wife's (she has an optimus v as well). her actual MEID is close, but hers is preceded by a large number in (##) parenthesis. could it be some problem with that?
and i have read and read through the forums for the development of my CM7 port, the official CM7 version that was ported and even other people having similar problems on other phones. there are no loss of 3g problems with my port according to the community or the developers. so, might not be the rom.
are there any little tricks i can try or any way i have to have my phone set up or any apps that might be interfering? its driving me nuts!! just paid for a month and cant use data!!
didnt work in stock or CM7 with android 2.3.4 or 2.3.5.

Which baseband version do you have? v20G or v10E? Oh and you might of switched to "Use only 2G networks" mode. You can check by going to settings-Wireless and networks-mobile networks-then you will see it at the bottom
baseband says "unknown"
And the option for "2g" only isn't there.

no such critter.
you can get it for the optimus s, but the pv4 and pv5 baseband cab files released by lg for the optimus v are each missing a dll file that lets the phone service tools fully unpack the cab to bin, prl, scr, etc.
if you use the optimus s firmware/radio, you will permanently lose that 3g connection you're trying to recover.
ok. i fixed it. i had to do what i was dreading doing from the beginning. i flashed back to the stock and ran the activation app. the activation failed but my 3g turned right on. and right after that i rebooted into recovery and flashed the latest bobzhome CM7.2 port. still works.
also, the clockwork recovery i have doesnt have a button command to boot into recovery. so, if you flash to the stock you will not be able to reboot into recovery from the OS and might not be able to use a button commands. what i had to do was plug in the usb and use an ADB command.
adb reboot recovery

and boom, i was on my way. glad i had my PC set up to send ADB commands.
your lucky, I live in North Eastern Pennsylvania and we have no 3g

[Q] Still stuck with 1X Data after 5 hours of work...

Hey guys,
I've been working all night to try and fix an issue I had with Cyanogen Mod. I couldn't get the GPS to work with the radio I had. So I tried flashing MR3 and I still had no GPS but had 3G / 4G / WiFi connectivity. Going back to MR2 restored GPS but I couldn't maintain data and only had 1X / WiFi.
I've messed with countless radio updates and ROMs trying to get this running again. Going to post my phone's stats:
ROM Current: BAMF Forever 1.0.5
Android Version: 2.3.4
HTC Sense Version: 3.0
Software Number: 2.11.605.0
Kernel: 2.6.35.10-ge8d3693 [email protected]
Baseband version: 1.39.00.0627r, 0.01.69.0625r
I need you guys to link me to a ROM, the more light weight the better, that has 3G / 4G, GPS, and WiFi (with tethering). That's all I require =)
If I need a specific radio, a link to that would be great. Thanks a lot.
It's not the ROM...
VZW's LTE is spotty in and out in some areas. I noticed mine first thing this morning...
There are other threads on other forums about it.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/21/psa-verizon-users-reporting-data-outages-across-the-us/
I laugh at how they state that 3G is working fine, while LTE isnt.
I can hardly even get 1x again.
Word is if you make a phone call you can get 3g back afterwards. Worked on the wife's bolt. Worth a shot at least

I have 3G just fine here. I don't get 4G service at this location so I force it to "CDMA Auto (PRL)" anyway.

I think you're right unfortunately. I wait 3 months to try and fix my GPS and the one night I try it, Verizon's entire data network is taking a crap.
I just assumed that the 1X was a radio issue. I now have 4G connectivity but it's definitely slower than it should be. About 1.4Mbps. My buddy right next to me clocked 10.4Mbps on his brand new Nexus...
I'd still love to get a recommendation on a ROM and Radio version to run. I hate this BAMF ROM.
Different ROMs and different radios will have minimal impact on 4g speeds, if that's your reason for wanting something different.

LTE came back up in SE Michigan about 2 hours or so ago.
Upon reading the OP's next post, I tested my speed via the SpeakEasy Website's speed test, as I always do.
I don't know whether to **** or go blind, but inside my office just now I hit 22MB down and 4.5 up with 2 bars (out of 4)...I've never gotten more than 12 inside the office down...
Could be that no one is on it...could be a fluke, etc.
BAMF makes quality ROMs. I would bet it's not the ROM or the radio.
I've been using the latest radio leak found here in the developer thread.
I'm sure you already know this...but it's flashed in Bootloader, not recovery.
I'm almost 100% certain it's not the ROM...unless you got a bad download or something.
That being said...you are a few releases behind on their ROM. They are up to 1.10 Final now.
Good thing is there are a ton out there, it's what's best for you...not necessarily what we think.

I agree. I always assumed it was the radio version I was running. I want a new ROM because I hate Sense and the stock look / feel.

You're right. My problem is there's too many and I'm tired of looking haha. I just wanted to flash a known good ROM and radio and get this over with. Tired of tampering with my phone.
New update:
I just flashed MIUI from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172235
and the MR3 radio from:
http://www.thunderboltforums.com/fo...151-rs-approved-guide-thunderbolt-radios.html
It's clear from the screenshot provided on the MIUI thread that the dev is using the MR3 radio which is why I chose to flash that.
But now my GPS doesn't work? Holy crap this is getting so annoying. Either my GPS works or my 4G works, I can't have both -_-
I'm trying to get my post count up without spamming the boards so I can post in the development section ;x
EDIT: Just found this link:

Anyone know if it's true?
Are you sure your data/gps is not a phone issue?
Believe it or not I know a few people that replaced their battery door and data/gps was fixed. Antennas are on the door...
In regards to your question about that link, it may work but remember some solutions work for some and not for others. Only real way to know is to try it...

[Q] 4g doesn't work AFTER installing Jelly Bean Build 21 ROM

I rooted my Verizon SCH-i605 and my internet works. After installing Jelly Bean ROM Build 21 my 4g doesn't work but if I load back to my stock my 4g will work. I have backed up my EFS files and restored them and my 4g still doesn't work on Jelly Bean ROM. I don't know if I'm restoring the EFS files the wrong way. Please help. Thanks.

what jellybean rom are you running. There should be no issues with them. Make sure you are running the current radio. try installing the vramc3 radio if you have not yet.
I'm on the latest build which is 21 and my radio is i605VRAMC3. I'm new to this field of rooting so bare with me please. Now I don't know if that is the latest baseband version.

Some cases can causes radio interference, and it may be the area you are in. I live literally 2 miles from a tower and never get more then 3bars of signal strength, and depending where i'm at in my house, my 4g goes from 3 up .4 dn when downstairs to 8 up 2 dn when upstairs.

Well you see if I go back to stock my 4g works perfectly. Idk if this rom could be corrupted download but I've seen people do reviews on this ROM with the same note as me and it's just working perfectly. Now another thing that is really weird is if I us Back Up Assistant (which is too back up contacts) my 4g will pop up and backup my contacts. I can use my 4g to back up but I can use it freely the way I want to. So I don't know why this ROM is blocking my 4g. And by the way I live in California and I get 4g 24/7 (in the area I live in) and I've just re-flashed the same ROM again and nothing. Really grinding my gears if you ever been in my shoes.
That's weird. I tend to run each rom for atleast 3 days just to trouble shoot. N had no issues with that rom. What's your apn settings n db levels reading?

Well I would like to conclude that I got the rom working. I was flashing from my external card. So I decided to put the file into my sdcard (on the phone itself) and my 4g popped up. I understand now why it failed. But thank you for taking your time in helping me I appreciate it. Thanks. Keep hacking.

[Q] Can I change modem im my AT&T Note?

HI everyone... I have a question:
I have an at&t sgh i717 with a virgin sim (Im outside of the us), and I need to choose a new modem (I think) because currently I have this t989 uvle1 for tmobile that I had to use to unlock my phone. I'm getting three bars in the signal so my question is or are: do I really need to change the modem? Does the signal have to show more bars so that one can be sure that the modem fits the phone? And, a modem has to be chosen depending on your phone and on your location (since I'm in southamerica)? does having a 2.6.3 kernel affect any of this, should I upgrade it?
I hope I'm not asking too much, sorry,
thanks
Wrong forum, belongs here. I've asked mods to move your post, sit tight.
Edit - You mean i777, right ? (I717 is the AT&T Note).

Since you have an i717, normally you would probably want to flash back to an AT&T based modem. However, since you're probably not on AT&T's network, your best bet is to try several modems and see which one works best with the provider in your area. My recommendation is to at least base your tests on signal strength and speed tests.

OK, I'm going to try several because just yesterday I found out that my gps didn't work and I think that's related to not having a suitable modem.
Additionally, I performed a speed test and whereas I get 12 mbps for download in my laptop I got 10 mbps in my phone, not much of a deal though.
Regarding signal, I get from three to four bars which isn't that bad and I've made a couple of calls and everything seems to be fine.
Since the gps thing is a real setback I'll flash another modem but I'm also thinking on upgrading to ics because right know I'm on gingerbread 2.3.6 with 2.6.3 kernel so I wanted to know if It's better to flash the modem before or after upgrading.
Thank you for your answers
You will probably have better luck if you upgrade to an ICS or jelly bean based rom.

The gps not working isn't always antenna issues. You can try to update the gps data file. Go to the market and get a gps fix app. You're looking for an app that will replace your gps configuration file with an updated file.

Thanks, good to know that.. it's just that when I received the phone it was working and based on that and some comments on internet I attributed this error to the switch in modem/baseband/radio...
Anyways, I'm installing a rooted ics rom and I'll come back to comment, hopefully positive things

[Q] CandyCatt

Hello XDA World,
I have had my i717(AT&T) for few years and over those years used roms with no issues at all, anyone else having issues with candycatt besides the known issues of flicker and or camera? I installed this rom to instructions standards, and to my own haha (even uber version).
Qlease anyone have an issue or fix for no data (can place/receive calls and text) no internet unless wifi?
Other roms (old/new) even with no MD5 i still get data.
My Candycatt:
Pros:
Great Rom
Smooth and Fast
Not a battery destroyer
Cons:
No Data (for me)
Flicker (trying a fix/patch found in thread)
Random Reboots
Update 4/14 241pm: I was At&t contract then switch to go phone, i called them first because was not getting 4g LTE they fixed it on there end, guess the go phone card (new) stated i had basic phone....at that time i reverted back to blackstar x1 everything worked except minor issues guessing do to md5.
Sincerely,
a not so noob, but still a noob

Thank you for the quick reply, I am ATT and went from contract to go phone 4g LTE prepaid. I called them and fixed issue few days ago because was not getting 4g LTE service or Data...it was an issue on there end guess there updated info said i had a basic bell phone.
When i reverted back to Blackstar X1 data worked fine, but rom had issues not sure if MD5 error or due to new version of JB/KITKAT.

Yes it is, fallowed step by step as usual and directed on thread. Since having issues and 3+ installs and no fixes I checked and cleaned all xboxes through latest twrp. After instruction step by step I tried so many ways haha. Wipe after zip flash, wipe after ROM boot the whole 9 yards.
My phone says 4g LTE and standard os settings reads ATT network, with out WiFi browser and Google play state no connection. When I get time I will send photos of important settings and issues with this ROM and old black star to prove DATA works on other ROMs.
