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!

Have you tried other modem firmwares?
OK, seems like the easiest solution is to just change the modem...
I changed it to XXKI4 from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277593
I'm starting to monitor whether the problem will reoccur.....
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....
will keep monitoring for several more days and update you on the issue (I'd be really glad if this simple fix solves it )

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.
thanks!
I had this issue and replaced my battery with another genuine original battery which fixed it totally.

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....

Do you have a roaming enable?
Here I suspect its the reason for losing the signal, maybe its the problem...
Did you tried your SIM with other device (not S2)?

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
Thats weird...a lot of people with other devices have this issue...at first I thought its only on S2 (modem/kernel/hardware) then I thought its a infrastructure issues in our area.... donno mate....

Need help with this also, same issue
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 ****
Please HELP

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

Hello everybody,
I own an Orange-FR branded Hero, and it get often disconnected, but doesn't seem to "know" that. The network bars stay stuck, and the "H" is displayed, as if there was a 3G connection.
I still can use Wifi (and enable/disable it), but cannot disable 3G/GSM network, not even going into "plane" mode. The only way to get out of there is to reboot the phone.
Looks like a radio bug for me...
Any ideas ?
Thanks
Yup. Which radio version are you running?
And, are you running the phone stock or with a custom ROM. If custom, try flashing the latest radio (read up on it before doing so though, as some people manage to brick their phones by not reading the instructions)- ie. don't pull the battery out, just let it do its thing.
Hello, thank you for your answer.
The phone is like new, I didn't try to update the OS neither the radio, because of the warranty...
My radio version is 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18.
I'm aware of the flash methods, as I often updated my P3300 with roms found right here
Hello there,
still have the problem, seems it's happening 24h after each reboot of the phone, but sometimes less.
By looking at the message log with the OSMonitor application, I get a lot of "rmnet fifo full, dropping packet", and the time shown in the messages is wrong (near 5h20 instead of 22h40)
Thanks for your help.
Got a new phone from Orange (with a crappy customized rom).
Same problem
what does orange say about the problem?
Hi,
each ppl I could talk to told me a different thing.
Sometimes they say it's because i'm moving to another cell (aren't they joking? it's the way GSM works...), someone told me it was because of a "localisation" problem. Another time my file was "stuck" or sent to a wrong service...
I don't think they have any return on experience about this phone.
probably it is just sales bull**** they are told to say to you...
it's guys from level2 support, that's worrying
They change my phone tomorrow... again...
i sometimes have a similar problem, phone gets stuck on 3g network and only shows as uploading data, i think it might have something to do with facebook sync. i haven't had this problem for a long time now but back in the day it used to happen alot
third phone, same problem
i don't use facebook sync
Same Problem
I was having the same problem, especially when it came to 3g / wireless usage - the phone would suddenly lose all connection to the masts but be unaware of it.
My solution so far is to downgrade the radio - the latest one is the worst for it, I'm using 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29 at the moment and a lot more stable than before...
(using Villains 5.2 rom)

yes I have been getting this issue too.
It uploads data on 3g but doesn't download. I found what appears to be a temporary fix for this issue but it comes back every now and again. I think it is an issue with Orange/Tmobile cell towers.
thanks for your replies,
i'm using the 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29 radio
is there other radio firmwares available ?
thanx

The one listed in my sig is the latest (and arguably the best) radio.
OMG they locked the recovery mode
im on orange and have no problems?To be honest when you talk to them they read from a script, noone there actually knows anything! just searching through a database kinda like windows help and support. If the problem is continuing with new phones id say its your cell area
I have the problem everywhere in the country, they changed the phone, they changed the sim (i'm trying another one right now), ...
That's what makes me think of a network problem.
Whenever you speak to them about issues like this always ask to speak to "high technical team"
They are the only ones that know anything and won't read of a script. They are usually very very helpful as well (or at least are in the UK)
Hi,
Sometime today I lost my phone signal on my SG2. I'm not sure exactly at what moment as I first noticed that I had a couple of bars but no 3G when I tried to browse the web. So I restarted the phone but to no avail. Since then I've lost all bars and can't make any calls either.
The only thing I have done today "out of the ordinary" was to connect to the phone using Wifi File Explorer to transfer a file, which I tried to connect to without being on a wifi network by first trying the "Wifi Direct settings" in Settings, which didn't work, and then by tethering by Wifi which worked. Maybe some setting got stuck in the process, but I'm not sure since never checked if it worked right before and after.
If anyone has any idea what could be wrong please let me know, as I am literally without a phone!
I recommend downloading http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/communication/no-signal-alert-pro_fyyo.html this will definitely be of benefit to you if your suffering from signal problems, it has been of good use to me.
Check your IMEI is the correct one for your phone .If not restore your backed up EFS folder .
Or try backup data and factory reset as a first step.
jje
Thanks for the quick replies!
The IMEI does not correspond to the one I have written down, though I'm not 100% I what have on my note is the latest IMEI; but how could that change though by itself, if my note is correct??
Also, I just saw something very strange: I turned on my phone and had full bars (no 3G though), and right in front of my eyes all bars dropped, one by one, during the course of 5-6 seconds. Something is VERY off...
Regarding factory reset: my phone is rooted (thanks to XDA!) and I have Tit.backup: can I will my phone still be rooted if I do a factory reset?
Something went probably wrong when rooting it (not neccesarily any errors) and effed up tge EFS folder.
Try to flash back to stock ROM, it might work to restore your.folder.

I should have been more clear on that, but I rooted the phone about a month ago and it has worked flawlessly since then, so it couldn't be that.
Anyway, I looked around a little and found this post:
http://androidforums.com/samsung-ga...connectivity-but-no-idea-why.html#post2722784
He seemed to have had the exact same problem that happened to me, so I decided to wait, and sure enough the connection reestablished itself about an hour ago and while I was watching for it, with the signal slowly creeping back up during a couple of minutes, and several hours after I lost it. Very odd.
This surely has to be an Android bug but that only shows up under certain and rare conditions.
To be sure I made a speed test and got 4.84 Mbps/up, 1.19 down, which I guess is fine; I never did one prior to this so I have nothing to compare to.
Again, appreciate the advice!
EDIT: For posterity, I should add that during these hours, even when I briefly apparently had a (non-3G) signal, I had a notification during all this time saying that I could only make emergency call.
I'm having the same issue. No Bars at all most of the time and when I have some, it never connects to 3G, G at most, and can't load any thing at all.
Very frustrating. I have been using Lite'ning rom 6.1 for a few months and had no problems at all until about a week ago.
I flashed back to a stock rom and still having the same issue.
I've also seen the bars drop down one by one in a 5 second window, bizarre!
Anyone find a fix for this? Or could the phone be faulty?

I was on Lite'ning about 3 weeks ago and actually completely lost signal several times. Reboots and hard resets solved the problem temporarily. I then flashed Batista FH 2.4 with ICS and things were great. I'm now on GingerMod. No issues.
I don't know how it could be kernel related though, especially if you are 100% stock again.
I got my phone back on Wednesday from the repair people that my insurers use after dropping it last month and shattering the screen inside (fortunately the phone itself still worked properly)
At the time the phone had been dropped, I was having problems with it in that the phone couldn't get a phone signal at all and I was going to fix the problem myself. The repair people knew that it had been jailbroken and I explained that I would fix the problem with the lack of signal myself.
Now, I have a new problem in that every time I get a WiFi signal, it keeps getting disconnected within seconds and I've noticed that the repair people seem to have reactivated the infamous "Flight Mode" problem which seems to have somehow affected the inbuilt WiFi system in that every time the phone manages to detect a signal, whether it's at home or elsewhere, such as university, it loses the signal.
In any case, does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix the problem (I installed the latest VillainROM yesterday which is 3.0) including what modem to use and how to install it?
I would try some different modems and see if you find one that solves your problem. In the first few posts of the VillainRom thread is a link to the thread attachments. Included in there should be a few modems in zip format which you can flash through CWM. Also some of the posters (I think one is geko95gek??) have them in their signatures.
Hope this helps

Hey there, not sure whether this is an ongoing issue, but the problem seems to be related to the embedded kernel from VR 3.0 (Nimphetamine 2.0.5) I was facing exactly the same problem. The only way to fix it was to flash a different kernel (siyah 2.2 in my case) .
I tried all available radios but nothing fixed it, maybe pulser has to take care of it in the next release, so flash another kernel and the problem will be solved, good luck!
Yep, as in above post. WiFi drivers are found in the kernel. Try Siyah, Speedmod etc.

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?

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.

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.

I have done these to see if it make any difference but no luck same thing happens.
1. I have pull out the battery for a while and put it back ( Noting Change )
2. I have restore back to stock roms ( Noting Change )
3. I have updated the radio and modem ( Noting Change )
4. I have called *228 and updated the PRL ( Noting Change )
If someone can please help me with this I really would amazing

has your phone been activated and used to make any calls?
when you say "restore back to stock roms" you're talking about version 2.3.5 with EH03 radio correct?
which custom ROM were/are you trying to run?
.
Thanks for the quick reply.
Yes my phone have been activated and was working fine till last week. I can still make calls anytime with no problems.
Yes I have restore back to and tried EH03, ED05 and EC09 and none of them fixes the 3G problem.
I was using geewiz-2.9.2 rom for the past year and had no problems but all of the sudden this happened

well at this point I don't know what else to say geewiz or stock should not have the issues you describe, could just be Verizon issue with signal in your area,,, I have seen mine struggle at different times of the year for no apparent reason at all...
EH03 should give the best reception but I remember running the others at different times too but not in the last year+
check this site and see if they report issues in your area

EH03 should give the best reception but I remember running the others at different times too but not in the last year+
check this site and see if they report issues in your area

Thank you for your help, but it is defiantly not because of the area I am in. My wife Verizon Samsung Fascinate that works with no problem. But mine one minute is connected and the next is trying to connect

maybe the antenna connection has wiggled loose or has some corrosion,
these are not that hard to pop apart to inspect it out...
here are two guides if you need some encouragement / reinforcement!
