Hello,
I hope I'm in the right section about this. I installed the liquid jb rc7 and the gapps 4.2 and I love it. However, I have a problem with loosing my 4G when I make a phone call. My icon says from 4G to 3G and to H. At one point I saw my signal icon turn to blue in color to grey. After couple of minutes, the 4G icon will come back and everything is good unless of course I make another phone call.
I heard something about flashing modems should help but I don't know where to get those
Thank you guys in advance.
Do you in fact actually lose your 4g though, or is it just a minor flatulence. I'd try a speedtest when this takes place to gather better insight.

Hello,
Thank you for.your response and I apologize for my late reply. Yes the 4G disappears and my speed test is very slow or doesn't work anymore. Basically I would be sitting in a same place, I will browse the internet, Facebook, speed test etc and its great. I would do this sitting in my couch for about 30 minutes. And as soon as I dial a phone number from my Dialer my 4G icon from my notification bar will turn to H, then switches to 3G, E, etc. At This Time internet connection is Slow to almost unusable. Eventually it will go back to 4G but at 1 point it took so long that I just flashed back to padawan ICS.
Hope this helps. Thank you..

I have this problem also I did all the things to unlock my bootloader, root, and then did S-Off. Then flashed a rom everything works except when I try to make a call 4g drops off and I get text that says unfortunately stopped working with OK which I click later 4g turns back on and every time I try to call same thing happens. I re-locked bootloader and flashed RUU but after everything is done I still have same problem. Does anyone here have any idea how I can correct this problem?

And you own a galaxy note ??
It sounds more like you have an HTC Device.....with RUU's and bootloaders, are you in the right section ??
I have tried almost every non-Sense 4.3 and 4.4 ROM I can find for the DNA. Every one I've tried suffers from (seemingly) random cell signal drops.
How I've been flashing these roms: CWM (6.0.4.5) -> Factory reset -> Wipe cache -> Wipe Dalvik cache -> Install ROM from SD Card -> Install GApps from SD Card -> Install SuperSU from SD Card (if necessary)
I'm aware of the difference in how the signal bars are displayed in Sense and CM. I'm not talking about a difference in displayed signal strength. The signal completely dies and shows zero bars. I can't text, browse, ping anything, etc.
I'm currently running the latest version of ViperDNA and have not had the signal die once. My baseband is 1.01.04.0308.
Is this a known issue? If not, any suggestions on how to fix this?

Sorry if this is a dumb response... but thought I'd offer my suggestions. Have you tried a 4.1 or 4.2 and/or Sense based ROM recently to see if the same issue is present? If not, I would check that first. It may not be the ROM and may be the device. I ran into this problem before rooting and still on stock. I believe there are known SIM issues with the DNA. I've had to replace the SIM card several times.
Going to give a 4.3 based ROM a try for the first time this weekend. I'll let you know if I run into similar issues.
Test a stock ROM. And see if issues r the same.

I had the same problem with cell signal off and on including on stock and 4.3 roms. It seems to fix it temporarily if you re-seat the sim card. This works for me but the problem is very on and off its hard to pin it down.
When I was running into the dropped signal problem while trying different 4.3 / 4.4 AOSP ROMs, I removed the SIM card and cleaned it with an alcohol wipe. I also cleaned out the SIM slot with compressed air. That did not seem to make any difference.
I haven't had any signal or SIM problems on ViperDNA or stock. I haven't tried any other Sense ROMs, since ViperDNA works well.
I noticed that on some 4.3 AOSP ROMs, my APN list would be completely blank after flashing. Don't know if that is relevant.
+1, I experience the same issue including dropping WiFi.

I had troubles previously with WiFi on AOSP ROMs but I thought it was a router issue. I made some changes to my home router but I also went back to ViperDNA at the same time.
After trying multiple AOSP 4.3/4.4 ROMs at home, I can confirm that my WiFi drops frequently. No WiFi drops with a stock DNA in the house and no issues with my DNA running ViperDNA.
I remember reading somewhere that some people were having issues with routers using WEP. My router is using WPA2 Personal w/ AES.
There has go be an answer for this. I love the AOSP roms but the one thing that keeps me from using them as a daily driver is this issue.

Seems like the problem was my SIM card not making a firm connection. I found a couple of posts about putting tape on the back on the SIM card so it will make a tighter connection. I used a piece of electrical tape on the back of the SIM card and trimmed it down to the edges with a blade cutter.
So far, so good. I've tried a few different 4.3/4.4 AOSP roms and haven't had a single cell signal drop.
Anyone know why Sense vs. AOSP would make a difference, if the root problem was a loose SIM card connection?
Hi,
I've a Droid Razr Maxx (XT912)
I'm using Gummy ROM v2.1-12-16-13-NIGHTLY.
Even though everything seems stable, there is one thing that is most notable which not working or should I say not displaying.
THE NETWORK BARS !!!!
Though I'm I'm not in U.S or using Verizon network, the signal still works and catches Airtel India'. But it won't show the bars!!
Can anyone help??

You mean there is no icon in the statusbar displaying signal strength? I'm using latest CM11 nightly (18.12) and don't have the problem, haven't had it ever btw. I'm on the xt910 though.

Moto X Camera
Also,

Ok. Funny thing happened here.. Before I was thinking about doing a dirty flash, I don't know, out of the blue, a network bar appeared. Just one bar, in an area where I usually get full service.
I moved around, still, same one bar. In the event of something good to happen, still I went ahead and flashed my phone.
Now, again I've no bars even though, I am sitting at the same spot where it was displaying the bars. :what:
Now, a new problem has arose, the sms is not working. Don't know whether it was working below, but it's not working now. Can receive sms but can't send one.

I had CodeFire on my DNA for about a month. All was running well. I just installed whatever was current around 2/23 and never installed a nightly update. Last week, I started having problems texting. I thought the ROM was going belly up on me. So I flashed SlimKat. I still cannot text without cycling Airplane Mode in between each. Alternatively, I can wait about an hour to sent a subsequent test message after a successful one.
I just re-flashed the latest radio hoping that would fix it. I'm at a loss. Do I need to call VZW and have them do something on their end?

Nothing? Just flashed another ROM. Phone is dead. Am I beating a dead horse with this question? Someone point me in the right direction then, please. Everything I've read states that the SMS issues are related to showing double texts. I can't find this exact problem.

The kit kat roms are ported. There are several issues with them that cannot be "fixed" until the source code is released. If the phone does not respond to any commands including trying to boot.... leave it on a factory charger for 24 hours. Then try to work with it

What do you mean by "phone is dead"? Completely non responsive or no signal. I've been on cfx since I ported it over with no issues besides the random signal drop here and there. But that's maybe a few times per week and happens to me on all ROMs. What do you wipe when flashing a new ROM? Have you tried a RUU?

Dead as in Roaming again. My apologies for the exaggeration. I'm a bit frustrated here. I cannot seem to win with this thing. I hated my Thunderbolt at the end, but at least it worked. RUU brings back mobile data and texting. I've tried CM 10.2 several times. Each time, it gets stuck in roaming. I cannot change the NV setting. Changing it, then checking it again and it's right back. I've tried flashing with the SIM in. With it out. I've cycled Airplane mode a few times. Rebooted. Installed GApps. Rebooted. Cycled Airplane mode. I'm missing something. Apparently.
I just want a phone without Sense or the Verizon crap. CFX was awesome until this texting issue.

Have you considered hardware issues? If it was a ROM issue it wouldn't be a one person issue. Or provide a log of what's happening when you send SMS. You're just not giving us much to go by, except what's not working. Are you doing full wipes between flashing roms, or just cache or factory resets?

Full Wipes between flashes.
I've had this phone for about two months. I initially had issues flashing CM and being stuck in roaming. No CM ROM I attempt to flash will work. They always end up stuck in roaming. I think the problem is that I can't switch from NV. When I change it, it always goes right back. Not sure what's up there.
I just flashed ★ ☆ [ROM/RADIO][4.2.2] Stock 3.06.605.4 | Rooted | Odex-Deodex | Sense5 And now SMS works, but I'm stuck in 3G.
I hadn't considered hardware only because with each ROM, the previously broken feature works, but then something new pops up.
With one, I can text, but am in 3G. With another, I've got 4G but can't text without cycling Airplane mode.
I sincerely apologies for coming off as a d!ck. I've nothing to contribute to the community but my bug reports and money. It's frustrating to see how quickly some phones are abandoned, though.
I've always been thankful for everyone's help and tried to offer bug reports and donations where applicable.
I just want my phone to work, with a plain vanilla OS and tethering. I don't need Sense. I don't need fancy mods. Just a phone that works.
Please accept my apology, and thanks again for the help.

Have you considered the fact that the recovery itself is causing your issues? I would give TWRP a try to see if there are differences. TWRP is a must to flash KitKat roms and the version used is critical.

Nope. I didn't consider that. Because most of my problems were with CM 10.2.1. Which is JB, correct?
That being said, I've tried both CW and TWRP to no avail. After being stuck in 3G for two days across multiple ROMs, I'm convinced the hardware went belly-up.

Santod has a process to recover the unit from the conditions you describe. It is fairly simple and doesn't appear to require much time.
I don't have time to search for it at the moment.

I did lots of searching before asking. I try to do my due diligence before bothering you all.
The replacement phone did not resolve the problem. The replacement SIM did.

Since my last update, I've received a new DNA, and a new SIM card.
Check out the last few posts here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51465109
This is bizarre. Either I'm doing something wrong, or... I don't know. SMS works on a stock ROM but not on a custom ROM, with a new phone, with a new SIM.
I think you are doing something wrong.
RUU the latest firmware, factory reset, wipe data, cache, and system, install a ROM and DO NOT restore anything.
I think youre not completely wiping and/or are restoring things.

Samsung has the proprietary drivers for cell signal. The RIL for CM Roms cannot obtain the same level of signal. I've compared this countless times with CM vs TW, and TW will always have the better signal/data strength. This is especially pronounced in areas of weaker signal. You'll notice that you'll drop LTE, and it will take a while to get it back. It has been much improved, but if signal is a must for you, TW cannot be beaten. Sometimes you can compare the dbm side by side and it will show the same, but real world use will have AOSP roms suffering more with their signal. Sucks, but it is what it is. I used to always flash aosp for speed and then signal issues would annoy me (work in buildings with poor service to start) and would end up on TW again. Ymmv

Understandable and thanks for replying back but I am still a little bit confused. This almost means that everybody who is on CM roms have only a 3G signal at best. And from what I have been researching TW roms pretty much do not exist anymore (or at least are not updated) I am just having a difficult time finding a rom that has everything I want as well as my LTE/4G data speeds. I have tried over 10 different nightly PacRom builds and its the same thing. If I mess around with the different "preferred network types I can get it to trigger LTE but then I am unable to make or receive calls. I would post this in the PacRom thread but I do not have enough posts to do so.
Thanks again for replying back.

Do you get full 4G when you're on a TW rom? I run nephilim right now after trying all the roms and I think it works quite well. Theres no perfect rom out there, so you'll have to decide what you're willing to sacrifice
What I noticed on AOSP/CM/AOKP roms:
Battery life is dismal - even on airplane mode I drained my battery to 20 in 6 hours.
GPS performance is lowered - even though I get locked on, it doesnt seem to track me as well. (this could be coincidental or biased.. lol)
Signal - definitely lowered, but barely not very noticeable. (You might want to check on a TW rom like I mentioned earlier)
Camera - some roms are super buggy, crashing every other shot then unable to initialize my camera afterwards
Text reflow is gone
Random bugs all around, usually not bad if I'm working in the office, but for weekend excursions, I'd rather have the stability of TW overall.
Let me know what you think, and definitely try switching back to a TW rom to see if your signal woes are resolved. Could be a hardware issue as well.

I need to locate a TW rom and go back to check. I am not seeing any that have been updated to 4.4 yet so I guess I will just have to settle with 4.3 because the signal and now that you mention it the battery life is very dismal. Thanks again for your assistance!

Do you get full 4G when you're on a TW rom? I run nephilim right now after trying all the roms and I think it works quite well. Theres no perfect rom out there, so you'll have to decide what you're willing to sacrifice
What I noticed on AOSP/CM/AOKP roms:
Battery life is dismal - even on airplane mode I drained my battery to 20 in 6 hours.
GPS performance is lowered - even though I get locked on, it doesnt seem to track me as well. (this could be coincidental or biased.. lol)
Signal - definitely lowered, but barely not very noticeable. (You might want to check on a TW rom like I mentioned earlier)
Camera - some roms are super buggy, crashing every other shot then unable to initialize my camera afterwards
Text reflow is gone
Random bugs all around, usually not bad if I'm working in the office, but for weekend excursions, I'd rather have the stability of TW overall.
Let me know what you think, and definitely try switching back to a TW rom to see if your signal woes are resolved. Could be a hardware issue as well.

I tried Trent's and nephillim ROMs and I still have only 3g on both. This has just started happening recently too but it stays on 3g no matter how many times I wipe data and factory reset. Im starting to think that I may need a new sim card. Also I didn't realize the WiFi issue with the other two 4.3 ROMs until I already flashed them and then reverted back to 4.4
Thanks again for the assistance. I'm gonna get a new late sim card and see if that helps.

Sounds like you also are on the old firmware..you will see WiFi issues on 4.3tw if your not on the latest
Just curious if anybody noticed better signal on aosp 4.4 after flashing a leak tw4.4 then back to aosp-like the texting fix floating around
