Android Phone 3G Data Problems, please help! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I have an MT6589 phone from China called the Vowney V5, its a lovely phone but I am having some issues relating to 3G....
I am using it on the UK on the EE network
My problem is that sometimes the phone gets stuck on 'G' or 'E' when I know 3G/H is available. Sometimes the signal also completely dissapears for a few moments and the most annoying of all issues is that sometimes 3G/H is showing as available but apps or browser etc cannot load any content and just say 'Loading'.
Similar problems have been documented on this Nexus 4 thread.....
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40514
My phone runs a stock android 4.2.1 build.
Can anyone advise me on how I might be able to fix this? Any help hugely appreciated
Thanks

That happens to me,too.
And it lasts for about 2 months,seems no solutions yet.:crying:
One possible reason I got is like: every time the phone encountered a signal problem,such as Airplane Mode,weak strength,etc.The phone react much faster than the SIM card,and then the sim card is not really initialized,the phone itself resumes up,and got a wrong MCC/MNC,both are 000.
No solutions on photons yet,because there seems no one works on Photons' framework.That could be changed by correcting the framework I think,because same problem happens on so many types of phones,such as ST18i.And both are resolved.:crying:
You can fine more information on CM's official website,there are many discussions on resolving other types of phones.

Hello there, I´m using the phone in Perú in a GSM network, with stock 2.3.4 and rooted. So far my MoPho has never lost the APN configuration. Are you only losing your 3g connection and your APN? Because I do lose my GSM signal sometimes in a day, but for some seconds only.
Hi, I am in Sweden and I am using miui 2.6.1 ics rom and I have no problems also I use a app called apn global its a quick way to set up apn's it reads your sim card.
GSM apns disappearing
Hi
I am on Cm9 aokp build 38 and i also had this issue of apns disappearing ( I am in India using GSM) The solution is to flash forceroaming.zip files from cm9 fixes files in this forum and flash it and restart it. If you dont see any apns manually you enter the apn value of your provider and save the settings and voila the problem is gone:highfive:. Sure this fixes the problem but I dont know how:fingers-crossed:. experienced guys may help but i am experiencing uniterrupted data after this
Used to have the disappearing apn problem for cm9... but since recently flashing to cm10, the disappearing has stopped... In the "Manage Apps", i noticed that the apndormancy service was stopped by default for cm10...probably thats what stops the apns from disapearing when phone "sleeps".. If theres an app that can freeze services and you can get it to freeze the apndormancy service, i think this would stop the disappearing.
Cm10 all data problems have been eliminated apns don't disappear. For cm9 you can flash forceroaming.zip

[Q] Weird Modem Issue on Cyanogenmod 10.1

Hello community, I'm having a bit of an annoying issue with my Cyanogenmod connection to mobile data.
I'm running version 20130624 nighlty of the CM rom and, after trying fixing my problem with different modems, I realised I needed someone else's help.
I'm from argentina, my baseband version is I9300UBLG5 and, even being somewhat of an android newbie, it was relatively easy to find out that I had to download the UBLG5 modem to get data reception after installing CM 10.1.
I did and everything was fine. But later on I realised that whenever I'm on mobile data and I get 3G reception, nothing will load. Whenever I'm on Edge or H I'm able to load everything perfectly, but what's even weirder is that even though I can't browse the internet, use facebook or twitter etc, I do recieve whatsapp messages when on 3G.
I have tried using two other different modems: I9300XXLH1 and UBELL1. Not to mention several APNs that I found browsing through google results from my country, and I still can't seem to find a solution for this problem.
I would really appreciate if you could help me out here as it's a really annoying problem to have, even more so when I spend most of my week on mobile data.
Thank you!
P.S.: Im rooted on (obviously) 4.2.2.

GPS not searching for satellite when mobile data is on

Hey everybody
I hope I can get some help from you guys.. I got this issue that I started to get into the running and started to need more of my gps to track my training and Ive noticed this weird behaviour of my gps.. It just wont even search for satellites whenever the 3g is on (you know the alert that says searching for gps).. installed the GPS checker to see if there was no satellites or something but it wont even search for them whenever I have the 3g on.. I found that the GPS works only if I disable the Mobile Data and restart my phone.. So I cant have both at the same time.. the minute I enable the 3g data it stops working and I have all the GPS options checked at the configuration and the wifi 3g assist.. What could be causing this?
Please let me know if some of you guys have some issue like this.. I have JellyBam 9.0.0 cyanogen mod based 10.1 and baseband XXXKI4

If you don't have this issue with a stock ROM, its probably a bug in the Jellybam ROM. Have you done a clean install? Since Jellybam has been banned from XDA, you probably won't get support for that ROM here. Maybe you should try contacting the dev of the ROM on their forum.

I tried the Omega stock V24 and had the exact same issue..
There's a number of GPS 'fixes' on here, I suggest you search for the threads containing those fixes & try some of them.
Hi!
I just want to share my workaround having same problem as this. After configuring my gps.conf as i've posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239713&page=77, all went smoothly and fast GPS lock for just about 5 - 15 sec, even on a cloudy or rainy day. Then last Tuesday morning, as soon as the mobile data got connected it cuts the GPS. In short, GPS & mobile data won't run simultaneously. I ran a series of reboot, shutdown, clean up... then as much as i don't want to, i ended up reflashing/reinstalling everything but to no avail! Now, since everything is fresh w/ my S2, but still had same problem. I now zeroed in the problem to how my mobile data connects. I didn't think of this before because everything works perfectly fine. Anyway, this time i changed the Network mode from "WCDMA only" to "GSM only". Finally! it works! problem solved.
So far as of this writing, both the GPS & mobile data connection are working simulteously. Only drawback are: (1) I can't browse the net using the "GSM only" mode because of the bandwidth limitation, but works ok w/ Waze app. (2) If i switched & connected to mobile data using "WCDMA only" mode, i need to switch again to "GSM only" mode & restart the phone in order for the GPS to works again.
I don't know, but i'm thinking if our telco here has something to do why I had this problem. Maybe they change some configuration... I dunno.

XWMS3 NeatROM v6.3
Hi,
I have exactly the same problem. Searching forum and the internet without results.
Last week I spent a lot of time with my SGS2. The problem occurs when gps and mobile internet data are used at the same time, but only when the phone use 3G or H+ standard.
When mobile data are transmitted on E/2G there is no problem at all. The issue with gps is that when I drive car and I'm in one location at the city (every day at the same place) the gps icon disappeared and no navigation at all. This is quite big square around 2x2 km. After I leave the area I have to turn off and on the phone and everything works ok, even when mobile data 3G/H+ are transmitted.
So described problem occurs only at the specific area. I don't know what cause the issue. After next researching I discovered, that gps disapeared ONLY WHEN THE PHONE USES UMTS 2100 MHz. In the service menu I mark only UMTS 900 MHz and the gps works very good. This time mobile data 3G/H+ are used simultaneusly with gps and everything is ok.
So the problem is olny when we are connected to BTS at 2100 MHz and only at the specific area. It seems that some kind of 2100 MHz signal intereferences wiht gps circuit maybe. I'm not a proffesionalist, I only suppose that.
Maybe somebody will find the complete solution with that.
My problem is at the cetral of Poland. I tried a lot of firmwares, modem drivers, gps.conf modifications. Nothing. Zero results.

Hmmm... it seems our telco here has something to do w/ my concern. Today, simultaneously my S2's GPS & 3G/H+ are working perfectly fine. I didn't do any reconfiguration w/ my S2, i just tried to switch how my mobile data connects, from "GSM only" to "WCDMA only".

I9300 Network Issues

Hi all!
For about a week my International Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9300) have been experiencing network issues. At first I have full connection and after a while the network cuts off and my sim card disables (in the status bar the mobile data icon shows "no data sim") and then it switches back on and everything works.
This process happens constantly.
I have tried numerous solutions like flashing new ROM and trying to view logs.
It still shows the IMEI and I don't want to unnecessarily modify my EFS I've read that it can cause serious problems.
What is the problem and how can it be solved? Any help is most welcome and I will send logs and info if needed.
If the problem is already solved please show a link because I couldn't find anything that helps.
Thanks in advance!
I'm having a similar problem with my I9300 as well, the difference is that the network only gets cut off when I try to make a call, and then it comes back after a few seconds, and it doesn't show 'no data sim' it just stays with no connection (no bars). Messaging and 3G Data connection works fine.
I already tried to solve with several methods, the only one that I didn't try is to Odin flash back to stock, wich I don't really want to. I'm running cm-11-2016 at the moment.

Mobile Network Issues, apps Not Connecting

Hello guys, I'm having a huge issue with my mobile network.
For the past two weeks I've not been able to make use of my mobile network correctly, it sometimes works, but most of the time doesn't. The icon in my status bar shows there is activity, it's fully connected to 3G or LTE, even with full bars. But all my apps like Telegram, Pokémon go, Messenger and the likes are stuck "reconnecting" to the network, as if my phone doesn't have any reception at all. At some points even SMS messages refuse to send, even though I've got full reception.
I've already gotten my SIM card switched out, attempted multiple clean flashes and the issue still persists.
Phone: Oneplus One
My current firmware: 0.1.c1.11-00006-M8974AAAAANAZM-1
Current ROM: idprophecy's unofficial optimized lineage-14.1-20180413-UNOFFICIAL-bacon
Current Recovery: Kutep0v TWRP 3.2.1-K2
Is there anything I can do? I'm getting really desperate.
This is my last plead on this forum, as I haven't had any response from anyone since april 25th, I've got nothing else to do but wait. Can't find anything on the internet about this issue, you're my last hope.
Have you tried flashing to stock version?
