I have same problem with CM10 and CM11 on E980 ... phone calls coming in and phone calls going out.
When I restore ATT standard rooted install 4.1.2 ... it all works again so not a hardware issue.

Yes, some people (all?) have problems using the LGOG with T-Mobile. I thought I bought a used lemon until I did some poking around here. A hybrid radio solved the problem for me. No link handy, the file name of the one I used is LTEhybrid33-54.zip. Some folks also report success with LTEhybrid33-84.zip, so look for one of those. They are simply flashed through recovery, TWRP in my case. Search for those files, or radio threads and you'll find what you need.
Or switch to a AT&T or another AT&T-based provider, like Straight Talk. I am SIM unlocked, using SImpleMobile (T-Mobile's network), and a hybrid radio. Probably switching to Straight Talk soon, due to AT&T having better coverage at work where I do more streaming and whatnot.

Which straight talk sim card can I use for the rezound?
can anyone help with this problem can't find answer on the internet anywhere?
Rezound sim card
I am assuming that you want to use it on ATT or T-mobile GSM network? Regardless, it will take either full size or micro. Verizon is the subsiding carrier, and they typically seem to sell it with the micro sim card (and it is what I have in mine) so I'm sure it will work. It should work with either though.
your rezound has the micro sim card?
never seen one that did...
not trying to bust your chops but my sim is easily 3 times the size of my sd card... the micro sim card thats in the razr is roughly the same size as my sd
Is it a Verizon 4g sim or gsm? No offense taken. Just trying to help out as I have been helped on here.
But the resound is able to use either size. I'll post a pic shortly.
Edit: posted pics. I had the same question when I got the phone, but they said it would work with either size. Surprisingly, I haven't had any issue with the micro. No unseating or anything.
any idea if one is better than the other?
i've never heard that rezounds could use the micros...
very interesting, sorry to have been incorrect above
i've seen about 7 or 8 rezounds, and they all have the bigger card, and we all suffer a weak 4g compared to other phones around here...
i wonder if i should try the micro sim, isnt it like a v2, or the next generation of 4g sims??
i think i'll start another thread to see if theres an advantage, but i'm gonna google around looking for more info on its ability to use both, i'm still in awe lol
Well, I have only had the micro, but I can tell you that this thing picks up 4g in usually 1-3 seconds after I turn on mobile network and it doesn't drop unless I tell it to (or if I am in the basement of a large 3 story concrete building at work). It maybe the ics firmware though. I know others have had problems with it, but it has improved my rezound in every way. The only reason I would even think about going back is to be able to use a GB kernel that could undervolt, but the hit I'd take on the web browsing speed just wouldn't be livable not that I have gotten used to the ice cream...

Why is it our responsibility if you ****ed up? The Rezound will work on GSM bands, but as of right now, it does not work fully. You should be able to make and receive calls, may or may not have data, and SMS does not work.

If you did some reading on these forums you'd know that there's a problem with GSM networks. Because a SIM fits into a slot doesn't mean it'll work...
As for flashing to Straight Talk, you shouldn't need to if you have a SIM. What the hell is Straight Talk anyway?

Did you ever get this figured out. I know the t-mobile prepaid card works for me. I'm using Rezrom. I can't remember if it worked for stock or not. I'm thinking about getting a straight talk sim card just to play around with.
Around here straight talk uses Verizon towers. Anyone know how to flash this phone to straight talk? Or would it be ad simple as putting one of their sim cards in?

That's not how straight talk works. If you have Att in your area, straight talk will work. T-mobile and Att are the only networks that will work with the bring your own device plans. You have to get a specific phone to use the Verizon towers.
Straight talk does not have software for any phone other than the optimus they have on android. The tower type is based on the phone's letter. The 900g is att and the t is Verizon?
Edit: Cannot use a non-straight talk phone on straight talk. Even on gsm bands.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
You can use non straight talk phones on straight talk just not for Verizon. The rezound will probably work with the att straight talk sim. You might get data but not positive. T-Mobile straight talk sim will work as well but only for voice.

Where are the radio choices for this phone? are there any? i havent seen one!
My friend has had the photon for a while and he has always complained about dropping calls, or sms's not going through, I just got done rooting and unlocking it, flashed CM7 and he said it is worst. Anyone out there got some suggestions?
What version build is on the phone?
Google talk me for help or question. @ [email protected]
well, im not exactly sure what was origionaly on it but I know it was 2.3.4,
but now it has "[KANG][ROM] CM7.2 by Photon Dev team 4-23-2012" on it.
Hmm, is he using it with sprint or another carrier like cricket?
I would just flash him back to stock have sprint update his profile and prl.
And if everything is fine flash custom roms.

Be careful letting sprint update your phone. Once you update to 2.3.5 you will be stuck with a locked bootloader till someone figures out how to unlock it. The basebands (radio) currently used by most roms is the one from 198_7 which is 2.3.4. As far as I know there are only 3 basebands for the photon and none of them make that much of a difference in reception if any at all. Currently 198_7 is your golden ticket for any kind of xda support.

Been using KANG CM7.2 since the beginning on a non sprint network in India. Never had a problem. The rom is almost stable. 99%... And i neither had an issue with the network data nor call drops.
There's a network selection option in
Settings -> Wireless and networks -> Mobile networks -> Network Preference right ??
I have a photon on Verizon and I get 1-3 bars in my basement and once in a while I drop a call but when I leave the basement I get 3+ bars ALL the time. Are you sure you or your friend has strong signal at all ( if possible try another sprint phone).

The photon has one of the best, if not the best radio of all sprint phones. Unless he is in a bad area for sprint then I don't know what to tell ya.

Updating the PRL and Profile is totally different from updating (upgrade) to 2.3.5.
I see the point of the suggestion to update profile/prl, it can make a difference in call/reception quality.
For those who are concerned about going back to stock for profile/prl updates there is another way. When on rooted stock use an app such as TiBu and freeze the upgrader/updater apk's. Then create a nandroid backup. If you need to go back to 198_6 or 7 for whatever reason you are safe.
My MoPho's in the kitchen sink!!
Well looks like hes SOL, when he first got it I did update the prl and profile and it didnt do much. Figured a custom rom would help. But his photon is on sprint, and his girl has the same exact phone and she has all the same exact problems he has. Like droped calles, and also the phone became very sluggesh over time, one of the worst phones i've ever used, and i've used at least 15 or 20 different android phones on all 4 major carriers foor a substantial amount of time. Sorry to say it, but its just my opinion. So... I think its just a bad area concidering the evidence. But anyway, hes been away for a few days and I cant get to the phone so I can't check anything. Thanks for the reply's though.
Just sold my phone to a user on swappa and he's having problems with placing phone calls or I should say hearing audio over the handset. I used it with AT&T before the unlock so I didn't have this issue and have flashed numerous roms to the phone successfully.
I am careful to wipe the phone data etc + dalvik cache before each rom install or refresh.
I read on an andadtech forum through Google that this could be the radio and see that there are several to choose from, including the Nexus 4 ones based on an xda forum post. Any recommendation from a power user with a good reliable radio or possible combo I can test for him? He prefers to run 4.3 as the Android version and bought the phone knowing its no longer stock.
The phone has no abuse or harm in any way as its mint and was handled that way. Any help would be appreciated.

Im having the same issue, tried slimbean and cm10.2 both with no audio on either end during calls unless you put it on speaker phone. Sim unlocked running T-Mobile. They haven't refarmed my area so the best I can get is 2g unless I go into town I can get some low signal 4g. Stock phone works just fine...
I am living same problems.
I was having audio issue with my OG for the last few days. I just recently switched from att to tmobile and also from stock jb to CM10.2 nightlies...no call audio, speakerphone was quiet. Today I flashed the hybrid .33/.84 radio and all seems to be working well again.
Hello all.
I have had a friend give me a phone from China. This was already running CM10 when I got it and was the international version of the SIII . I have a work iPhone and took the ATT SIM out and placed it in it. I understand I cannot get LTE connection with this device... but the SIM did not appear to be recognized. I looked and there does not appear to be any unlock process for this phone with this software and I did not believe it was SIM locked as the owner told me he slapped regional SIMs in it when he traveled.
Does this imply hardware failure or am I missing something stupid here?

Hey THanks for the reply. Any suggestions as to how I can try alternate SIMS. Shoudl I walk into ATT and ask they replace the SIM for my IPhone as it is not working in other phones or should I buy a smart talk prepaid SIM or something. Any suggestions. Sorry for the seemingly stupid questions.

I tried two att sims with no lucka nd one tmo. I took it to a shop where theyb replaced the reade and still no dice. Technician claimed bad radio flash, but the networks are seen... seems like sim reader. The other thing I noticed is that the device says wcdma on in. I know the chia carrier is gsm and the phone is supposed to be. Any thoughts?

not to resurrect but....
So I have had some updates. I took it to a local shop who attempted to replace the reader and said that a new one had the same issue. I then spoke with my friend who gave it to me and he mentioned some CM issue with SIMs being recognized. I updated the ROM and it worked well for a couple of days. THen I started having intermittant instances of the same issue..... until it completely recurred again.
I have taken it appart and resat the connection (thinking the repair guy didnt do it well and maybe that was my issue) but had no differnt results. I have tried a new ROM (SlimKat) and a couple of Kernels. I have not gotten into modem flashing yet as I am still trying to parse and understand the data there.
The Repair guy thought the modem was misflashed and that the installer who flashed CM11 messed it up. He suggested getting a Stock carrier ROM on there. I thought he was full of it and did not know what he was talking about... esp considering there is no domestic (US) carrier image for the 9300.
Thoughts or options? I have an i747 that I have been using but it does not have an unlocked SIM yet and I have been struggling to make that happen (EVEN WITH A CARRIER PROVIDED CODE??!!!).
Thanks in advanced for any assistance/insight you can provide.

Flashing CM doesn't touch the modem, most asop roms don't.
Try flashing stock which should reset everything.
I have been recently having an issue where no matter what rom i go to i get no data connection above shotty 3g. I can facebook and it will error no connection same in browser and snapchat. when i send mms it flashes 3g and fails to send mms unless im usuing liquid build 11/10 on wi fi. Pac everytime i install fc at startup. Slim i can barely get 3g. Validus is about the same as slim. And of course all the 5.0 builds (minus pa, because i havent tried it yet) i get no solid data. I tried flashing the 11c modem and changing apns. Any suggestions?

The only way I'm aware of to test the sim would be to flash back to 100% stock and see off the radios work properly there.
You could call them for a new sim. They will likely have you do a bunch of useless stuff like FDR. Just lie about anything that would reveal root or modifications. When nothing they try fixes the issue, they should mail you a new sim, when you say its not convenient to stop by the store, that's why you called. Worked for me before anyways.

Thanks! Good to know
Getting a new SIM isn't too hard. I usually flash my phone back to stock though before I take in. Yeah, it's a pain, but easier than arguing with them in the store.
The last issue I had was my SIM wasn't reporting my device ID correctly. On my Verizon account page, it said that I was using a non-VZW device! This was on my Droid RAZR HD. Apparently, the SIM card got corrupted somehow. Not sure if flashing CM12 on my RAZR HD was the culprit, but the tech support guy on the phone said that the SIM card was sending back a garbled device ID and that's why it happened. He said just go into a store and get a new SIM card if I wanted or he could mail me a new one.
I just went and got a new one. Then, I upgraded to the LG G3 and got an entirely new SIM card. Too funny.
