I am having a peculiar problem since last 20-25 days. In home network, after some time of inactivity, my phone network stops working. I can see full network range on screen and H+ access but neither can I make calls nor use Data. I have to restart the phone to get it going again. When I go to roaming, this problem disappears.
I restored the phone to factory settings to negate a possibility of my OS going corrupt. But now the problem has started again.

Yes. Called up Vodafone yesterday. First guy sent me the 3g settings since he didn't understand what my problem was. Then i had to talk to his supervisor. He asked me to visit nearest gallery. When I asked him to log a service request he suggested that I keep settings for network search on manual. When I protested he finally locked call. But don't know what he had typed in the call lock. Anyway. Will changing the sim card help
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I really doubt changing the sim will help. If you can, go to the store in person & keep insisting that it's nothing to do with your APN. If you can, show him the problem, not just tell him what happens. Ie, take the phone when it won't connect at all. Then restart the phone & show him it works.

I tried something tonight. In network mode, i selected GSM only and the network didnt go off. even edge service is running properly
The problem happens when the phone is in GSM/WCDMA(Auto mode)
I confirmed this again twice, thrice. If I keep the phone in GSM only mode, no network issues. All steady. If I move to GSM/WCDMA (Auto) mode, after a period of inactivity(cannot quantify) the phone shows full bars and 3G symbol, but no data can be interchanged or calls received/made. I have to restart the phone to access network again in that mode.
This happens only at my home(so i assume only on one tower)
Go talk to the network provider
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Already done that. They have not taken action. I Don't expect this problem to be solved by the technologically challenged customer care team of Vodafone in India.
upon further investigation I found on the Internet that this problem happens when network provider is upgrading from a lower to higher technology which uses different spectrum. The solution is to access *#*#4636#*#* and change default mode to gsm auto (prl) mode which will ensure that it will prefer gsm over wcdma but jump to wcdma when a minimum signal threshold is achieved. Sadly I am unable to access that menu since Samsung must have disabled it.
Any solution to that?

Turn off Wifi on your phone and turn off the Router for a few minutes. Turn it back on and turn Wifi back on your phone. If that doesn't work go to advanced wifi options on your phone by going to the wifi settings and press the menu button(left of Home Button) and pick Advanced, set the Regulatory domain to a low channel and Wifi policy to Never and see if that helps.
If it still doesn't work set a static IP to 192.168.0.9 and Gateway to your Routers gateway that can be found out clicking on start,run,typing cmd to pull up the command prompt and than typing ipconfig. Set Subnetmask to 255.255.255.0
If it still doesn't work maybe you may need to Replace the Router ?

So your phone can't even see your Router at all? or can it see it but it doesn't connect? if it can't see it at all than it is most definitely broken. Try setting the router to a low channel.

Not sure what you mean by erasing IMEI since you need that for your phone to function?
can you post up what your phone tells you when you dial *#1234# and *#06#
Ah right I see. I couldn't tell from my phone.
I think the best thing would be to flash a stock ROM, use USB jig to reset flash counter and the send it to a repair centre even though you don't have a receipt they should be able to get warranty info from the IMEI.

I have the same problem with my newly bought Samsung Galaxy S2.
After running nicely for one month, the wifi has suddenly stopped working. I will explain the symptoms here so that someone can please help me. Its really urgent.
The wifi refuses to detect any networks. In my computer and other mobile phone, there are atleast three wifi networks which are being scanned. The wifi on the Galaxy S2 turns on, scans for a while and then turns off again.
On repeatedly trying to turn on the wifi, or using the home screen wifi toggle button, the phone hangs and the wifi icon turns light green.
If I try to switch off the phone, the keyboard lights at the bottom stay on - until I remove the battery manually.
Have tried a factory reset and flashing the phone with different firmwares downloaded from the net. Still no luck. Can someone please tell me whether this is a software problem or is my hardware bust?
Thanks in advance.

I'm having this issue since 3-4 days. The phone was working perfectly, and I remember I switched it off for a couple of hours. When I came back and turned it on, the wifi started acting up.
I don't recall exposing it to water. I have a problem with sweat though, sticking on the screen. I had showed it to a Samsung rep, he said it is due to moisture. Don't trust him though. Have again given it to another rep. Let's see tomorrow.
Hello.
I finally upgraded to ICS and Resurrection Remix ROM.
I have some issues in my area with 3g not "working", i.e. data will transfer with Edge (slowly) and with H(+) (quickly, but totally freeze up while the status bar shows "3G" connection, and only start again when it changes to E or H(+). It switches a lot between 3g and H, so my workaround was to use the hidden code *#301279# and disable both HSDPA and HSUPA. Which wasn't a problem as for some reason speed tests would give me 6,6mbps download with just 3G (makes no sense to me as I thought pure UMTS peaked at 384kbps?).
So anyway, when I flashed Resurrection I was pleased to see that it offers that very choice in its menus, choosing UMTS, HSDPA or both and HSUPA. Unfortunately it just won't "take" for me, with only UMTS chosen I still have H+, and hence 3G doesn't work. To make matters worse I can't get any hidden codes to work/activate in the dialer either (except for some reason *#*#4636#*#*).
So, my question is, is this due to 3rd party dialer instead of stock (and is stock dialer something I could get with RR ROM if so)?
Or is it this solution from galaxy S thread:

I've always had custom ROMs and no problem though Lite'ning, Criskelo and CheckROM probs were based from Samsung stock ROMs.
So, anyways, any way around this, so I can deactivate HSDPA/HSUPA?
No,Because you are special.

sorry ma8 REMIX is based on AOKP hence ALL samsung codes do not wrk on it with exception of a few
it has nothing 2 do with the dialer but the next ver of remix might address the issue
Oh bloody ..., now I have to find another ICS ROM again then... I need that workaround.
*sigh* any recommendations? I liked CheckROM pre ICS, but they're a bit slow with theirs.

Did you try if also the *#0011# works? I any case, what you need to know, is that (generally speaking) the following is true:
1) (RF related) "secret codes" are Application short cuts to the Radio firmware.
2) Thus the actual code running is in the radio (baseband processor), but there is usually a Java (Application) wrapper doing some of the menu graphics and what not, which then runs this code.
3) So, what codes are working, depends on the radio firmware and whether or not the wrapper applications have been installed with your ROM.
4) Try to copy your old "ServiceMenu" (or whatever it was called on your device) Application onto your new system.
5) Many ROMs are using minimized Kernels that disables a whole range of debugging and other (internal) service configurations, that may be needed to use the "secret codes".
Thanks for your response, even though some of it was lost on me.
Your code doesn't work either. Only one I've had work is *#*#4636#*#*.
What I find really strange is that my ROM (Resurrection Remix 1.8.1) has a gui choice for RF band as well. But even though I select UMTS only (see screenshot), I still get H coverage and my 3g acts up. Even with reboot. So if anyone has specific knowledge of this ROM, please share. I still lack posts to post in the ROM's thread in dev.

Your point 4 is beyond me I'm afraid, at least without a step-by-step recipe.
Cheers for the response though.
Toggling UMTS only has never worked for me in any AOKP rom. Turning it using *# 301279# works well. Its nice to see websites load a trickle faster because it's not waiting for the phone to switch from 3g to H/H+. Try WanamLite rom.

Alright, fella!
1. Code as mentioned doesn't work.
2. Do you have the problem where data wont transfer/load when on 3g as well? Only on Edge or H/H+? Is this an Android thing or a SGS2 thing!? I'm guessing you're not on the Telenor carrier.
3. Is WanamLite non-AOKP based then, so it'll work? Didn't fall in love with WanamLite's look, so want to be sure.

Nah I'm with 3 UK but my speeds don't get any better to be honest on h/h+. The biggest difference I've seen was me getting 400KB/s on 3g and 460KB/s on h/h+, minus the 4-5 second delay when going from 3g to h and it doesn't really matter lol.
If data didn't load on 3g I'm sure there would be millions of unhappy customers lol, it definitely should work on either. 3 UK doesn't even have a 2g network so its 3g/h or nothing.
WanamLite is a Samsung based rom so all the dialer codes work and battery life in general is better than a AOKP based rom. I think it looks ok. I'm more fussed about using good looking apps and having nice homescreens rather than themed settings menus and notification themed toggles lol
Alright, might give it a go then. ust a shame with Resurrection which is quite nice. But battery friendly is top of the priority list.
I disabled (pre upgrade to ICS) with the *#301279# code, and still got 6,6 mpbs speed on data. Which is actually about 150kbps more than I got with H/H+. ;p
Oh, and thanks to everyone!
^^ I can't give a step-by-step since I'm not running neither your ROM, nor ICS...
While in the 4636 menu, hit the button and start advanced task manager, or just hit the button again. You will then see the name of the (wrapper) application that you was accessing using that code. When you find the correct app that was running, go to ADB root shell and search for the app with something like (using that name, of course):
Code:
find / -iname "*ServiceMenu*"
Next use your, Titanium Backup, or whatever to find and copy that app to your new system... (Oh, yeah, obviously you would need to reflash your old ROM or find someone who has the old one...) Then cross your fingers and hope it works!
Thanks fella, but I ended up flashing WanamLite and just doing the code.
Now I just need to either find an sms app for ICS, or where I can select phone numbers only to show so I don't keep sending mms to email in stead of phones.
I was wondering the same thing. When my phone is on 3G, websites never load for me, they just sit there, half loaded. But as soon as it switches over to H, not H+ (never got it), they load automatically. I'm on Tesco Mobile but they use the O2 network. Is it a phone issue or a carrier issue?
Chris.
Well I'm on a Norwegian carrier, and in forums here I see loads having same issue. But a few with HTC phones as well, so perhaps an Android issue?
Anyway, what works for me is disabling H/H+ with the code *#301279#. As I get good speeds on data anyway as 3g then works like a charm. Or I did on my previous ROM Resurrection, on WanamLite I'm not so sure. Very slow ping.

I've noticed that my speeds suffer when I set 3g only. Feels more like 3 are doing it though. For example, I can get 600KB/s using 3g and roughly the same on H/H+. After a few hours though my 3g connection sits at around 45-70KB/s. As soon as I switch to H/H+ it bumps back to 600KB/s+ again. What's odd is that if I then go BACK to 3g only it maintains fast data for a few hours.........then back to under 80KB/s. Really weird
I just tested and I gave the wrong info.
If I disable both HSDPA and HSUPA in the *#301279# code I get 3g with about 360 KBPS download according to a "speedometer", but if I activate HSDPA, but _NOT_ HSUPA, I still get 3g showing in my status bar, but the speed test gave me 7,33 MBPS download! So might want to test that. It still gives me stable data!
Hello all,
As you can see, I'm new here (okay, I lurked for like a year lol.)
Basically, my stock 2.3.6, unrooted AT&T Note is not forcing mobile data to turn off when I switch to Wi-Fi. Both the W-Fi and "4G" icons appear, and the "4G" icon shows that it is transferring data all the time, even though I have full Wi-Fi bars. I did a factory reset and that did nothing. Do I just need to disable data every time?
Thanks!

Apps Using Data
I have noticed that the AT&T Messages App is always running (Settings>Apps>Running). It seems to me that this app must always be using data since that's the only way it can notify me that I have an SMS message - there may be other apps always running that keep data alive so that they can check for SMS, MMS or voicemail.
IDK but it makes sense to me that data must always be running on a phone since we can't get messages via WiFi.

He wanted data off. He didn't mention anything about calls and SMS.

Actually he wants WiFi to "force data off" - that's different than turning it off via airplane mode. I do not think you can actually force data off with WiFi - it must be turned off either manually or via airplane mode.

I want to be able to receive calls. I just don't want to be eating my 2GB's away while I'm supposedly on Wi-Fi.

I have noticed that the AT&T Messages App is always running (Settings>Apps>Running). It seems to me that this app must always be using data since that's the only way it can notify me that I have an SMS message - there may be other apps always running that keep data alive so that they can check for SMS, MMS or voicemail.

This makes sense. When I originally got my Note, I wasn't using the AT&T Messaging, I was using stock Android messaging. Then I updated the AT&T app because not having all the apps up-to-date in Play bothers me. All the sudden it became the default messaging app. I uninstalled the update before the factory reset, and it automatically updated post-reset. I tried uninstalling it but it still does it.
Also, I was using Data Watchdog, uninstalled that and it still does it.
So I guess the question remains, how do I disable AT&T Messaging without rooting?
The last app has secured it connection via data and will continue using that data and keeping the connection open until you shut it off.

Okay?
Hold home key swipe apps to close them then it should switch signal automatically
If it doesnr work wipe cache and dalvik cache and try again. If you don't know what this is private message me

I'm on the 2 gig plan too. I didn't give it a thought until now.
Can you use the task manager to see what app is holding onto the data connection after you switch to wifi? Sorry I can't give any help.
Woot! I got it. There is an app in the market called APN-Switch. Its a widget that kills data but still lets you get calls and SMS. I tested it and it works great. I think it forces your phone into GSM mode.

I'm lost..
I have a very odd issue, if I connect to wifi, I can search the internet just fine but I cannot make phone calls or get text messages. Sometimes the texts will go through and other times it gives an error. I went through all of the network settings but cannot find the culprit, does any one know what I am missing???
Thanks

I'm having issues with calls being dropped and messages not being sent when on Wi-Fi. Changing wifi calling preference does nothing. Turning wifi calling off does nothing. I turn wifi off and calls and messages are fine. Doesn't happen all of the time though. So not sure what's going on.

Did you disable Mobile Data Always Active under Developer Options?
Though I'm not sure that would be the culprit as I have it disabled, but don't suffer the problems you're experiencing. So I guess this wasn't really helpful. I apologize.
Or maybe you should? And perhaps that will fix it? If it doesn't then I apologize again.

That is pretty odd.
Been having connection issues since day 1. Changing different settings has worked for periods of time but nothing seems permanent. I have to cycle airplane mode to fix it every time to fix.
Was reading up on other sites and this is wide spread enough to find posts about it all over. Haven't seen anything to pinpoint why it happens or who is effected. Best I've found is that it may have something to do with when the phone switches to 5gUC and then off. But mine switches on and off of that relatively often and it doesn't do it every time. Though it does seem to do it if I'm on Wi-Fi and it's flipping to a good 5G signal to a not good one. So maybe it's when both radios are active.
Oh and I'm on TMobile, Swapped from Sprint sim.
Oh one more theory... I keep seeing messages from Sprint / T-Mobile about switching to the T-Mobile network. But I am currently using a T-Mobile SIN. These aren't generic messages. Messages they're geared directly to specific lines on my account, including . Now I don't know if somehow I could be on a T-Mobile SIM and still on the Sprint network, because that goes against a lot of stuff. Stuff I know regarding how the networks are being operated but I am a little out of the loop so I guess it could just be roaming back and forth or something And they had set something up at the tower so that you don't even see it do such. But anyway, if this weird theory were true, maybe that's the only people that it's affecting.
I'm sure that you set the default APN to Tmobile, right? My coworker was using a sprint sim and after getting another sim from Tmobile, her phone works fine. Of course, she doesn't have a pixel 6 so it could be something with the device. I love my P6 but there are some quirks. About to try this ArmorSuit skin screen protector later today as the hard ones do not register fingerprints.
Yep, unfortunately all apns are set correctly (or as far as I know). I have both the TMobile and TMobile mms apns that auto generated with the activation.
T-Mobile 5Guc Is actually crazy fast I get really good download speeds and actually mine upload too it's way different from 4G to me just look at my results

Sounds then like its using VOLTE and the inactive data is not properly selective.
Actually the issue came back so I just turn off wifi.
Even though the December patch kind of ruined everything, there is another method for SIM unlocking a Carrier Locked Pixel so follow on!
(THIS WILL WORK ANY PIXEL, I HAPPENED TO TEST THIS ON A PIXEL 4A 5G BUT THIS WILL WORK ON ANY RECENT PIXEL)
You first have to go to settings...
Apps and then show system apps
What we are doing here is disabling a system app that has SIM lock.
Search up "device setup"

Ok ok, so now go to Mobile Data and Wifi and Disable background data
Now go to App battery usage and put it as restricted
Insert your SIM Card and it will be sim unlocked
Will that work on T-mobile pixel 6?

This will work on the Pixel 6 (T-Mobile).
still no option to allow oem unlocking on T-Mobile sad how it used to be so easy to unlock a bootloader unless you have Verizon of course this is the first phone I've had from at&t or T-Mobile that isn't rooted or unlocked.

You have to contact AT&T or T-Mobile for a bootloader unlock. The SIM lock is local, but the bootloader unlock is controlled by the carrier.
I just tried this to use a Visible SIM in a T mobile locked 4a 5g which I had done before using a different method. While it did work for the physical SIM at first, I have it set up with a T mobile eSIM and it won't work with both like it did before. Now if take the visible SIM out, T mobile works, but Visible won't work at all in it. I was using a 4a that I bought as a temporary/spare phone until my replacement battery for my 4a5g came in (it took about a month). I decided to do a factory reset because I figured it would be easier to just let it copy everything from the 4a, but it relocked the SIM which I should have realized before I did it, but I didn't think about it.
I'm going to do another factory reset and try again... I'll update soon.
Update: You may have to install Netguard to get Wifi. Block Device setup in NetGuard.

OK... Now I can't get the Visible SIM to work at all. I'll have to switch back to the 4a. Hopefully if I erase the esim I can get Visible to work again so my wife can use it because her phone isn't compatible with Visible's new network that we need to switch to soon.

Do not connect it to wifi. That may be your issue. Reset the device then try the process again. Also if you connect to Wifi, always set the connection as metered.

It works for a little bit, but I guess it figures it out when it gets Internet access and it's pointless to have a smartphone that can't go online. I'm going to try T mobile customer support again, hopefully I can get somebody who I can understand and they can understand me.
