Hi,
Using the network Log app. I found this service named "Factory Mode" android.ui.system making network connections.
I would like to know what this is and if I need to be concerned or if I can stop the service?
I wonder it too. isn't there any answer?

Hello there I currently have an unlocked vibrant currently on the mobilicity network in Toronto, Canada.
The phone works well, no issues except for establishing and securing a connection with the network provider. Every time I go to an area where it loses service, like parking garages or subways it loses the connection- obviously- but when you get back to an area where there should be service I only connect to the roaming service. This is leading to extra costs since my plan has charges for that.
What I do now is when i go somewhere with no service i switch to flight mode. When i get back where there is service i have to usually turn the phone off and restart it and search for a network manually.
Are there any apps, hacks, or fixes that can stop me from seeing or detecting roaming services, and force the phone to lock on to my network provider's service?
I want to use it only in the current home zones, and if out of one, i accept the fact that the phone does not work at all. I am always in the coverage zone and never want to use it while roaming.
can anyone help?
At the setting, there is an option there Data Roaming, you need to check or uncheck it. Select the option that will prevent you from doing data roaming and that should fix your problem.
On the otherhand, I have a question for you. I have the same phone and same provider, mobilicity. Our problem is the 3g connection. It is spotty sometimes the 3g icon appears and then disappears. Does this happen to you? I noticed the problem occurs when I go under like basement when there is no signal. After resurfacing, I gell signal reception sometimes full but the 3g or data connection won't work. To solve this, we would usually shut down the phone and restart it. Do you experience the same problem? If yes, what was your fix. Thanks.

Same problem here. Any guidance will be appreciated.
I've done the suggestions for Wind but to no avail.
same mobile , same provider , same issue
hai guys i have the same issue , but my thing is more worser than you.....when ever i go to an underground parking my 3g gets turned off and wen i come out from that place i cant able to make or receive any calls .....i need to restart the phone to turn on the signal again...its really weird any one have the solution ?????
Hey all, I have a Vibrant on Wind, this is what I do.
Go to settings.
Wireless and Network -> Mobile Network -> Network Mode ->WCDMA only
This enables that you stick to Mobilicity's 3G network and not roam on the Rogers 2G network.
If you lose signal, you will not roam, but simply not be connected until you move out and pick up Mobilicity's signal again.
Hope that helps.

I found this on Howard forumns:.... I know this post is old but the solution could help someone who recently bought a old for to get used to customization /flashing.>>> Hope its useful

It works!!! It totally works!!!! I love it! Thank you so much guys!!!! Now I don't have to restart my phone EVERY morning as soon as I pull out of the underground garage in my car!!!
Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!!!!!!
Dial: *#*#197328640#*#*
Click [1] debug screen
Click [8] phone control
Click [7] network control
Click [2] band selection
This is where you make a change, default setting is [1] automatic, which means it chooses automatically between gsm/cdma (Edge vs 3g). So we are going to change this and set it to wcdma band which is 3g.
Click [2] wcdma band
Click [1] wcdma all []
Now it should display “select wcdma all bands[*]"
Now on the bottom of your phone, click the menu key, it’s the one next to the home key, now click back, menu again one more time, back one more time, this is just to confirm it set to number 2 wcdma band.
Now click menu key one last time, click end.. and you are done. Now to double verify that the phone is locked into 3g, dial in: *#*#4636#*#*
Then click phone information Then scroll down to “set preferred network type” It should now have listed “wcdma only.” PS, if you tried to do a shortcut, and just set wcdma this way first without doing the lock above, it would just go back to gsm/cdma auto once you exit the screen.
Your phone should now be locked into 3g.

Again found on Howard forumns and copied and pasted to word doc. to keep for my mum as she gets the phone.... I got her the the 27.50 holiday plan so she can call anywhere to anyone in North america with unlimited data....coverage is good so far...
P.S. i dont allow roaming as to not incure more charges.
I know this is an oldish thread but.
Trying to fix connection issues and the Dial code does not work for me. It just does nothing when I enter that. The only code that works is *#*#4636#*#* and that does not help me.
Anyone else having this issue and know why it's not working. I have an Amaze 4G. Only posting here about this phone because this is the only thread I could find related to my issue.
Searched all over now. Those codes are to be the only solution and they don't do anything on my phone.
Anyone have answers?
I have a mytouch 4g (it's actually the htc panache) that just suddenly wouldn't connect to the network after I restarted it. When I try to add a network manually, the only option I have is to connect to Canadian roaming...
So yesterday I followed these instructions to fix up my internet speed...
Everything was fine most of the day but then somehow I lost all data in the evening.
I'm 99% sure its due to some kind of phone setting issue, because if I try and access internet services it fails literally the nanosecond I try and access - suggesting its not even trying to talk to the network.
Could someone please help and advise of all the exact settings I should have set up in the "Wireless and Network" section , particularly for "Mobile Networks", "Use Packet data" and "APN"?
or if anyone knows why my net would be failing as it is, that would be a great help!
someone pls help!!
For some reason, I can't get 4G anymore, even when other people in my office (with VZW) are showing a strong signal. I have tried battery pulling, a simply power off/on, and even a restart. Doesn't fix it. My phone IS rooted. I can connect to wifi, but I can't get a data connection when it is off.
So right now, all I have is voice without Wifi. When I send or receive an MMS, the 4G icon will display in the notification area, then disappear when the download is complete.
Can anyone help me? I don't know what to do to get it back.
I have VZW with Unlimited Data
Thank you in advance!

Well, I ended up calling Verizon and after having them search on their internal forums, they figured out the issue. Apparently, I changed the "Access Point Name" to something else other than "VZWINTERNET" and I lost complete access to all data networks (EVDO, 3G, 4G).
So, because I hate it when I find a post that has a problem I'm having, and the original poster says "I'll call Verizon and write the solution here when I get it" and you never hear back from them, I'm going to post my solution for the next guy.
Basically, the Access Point Names option is under Settings > Connections Tab > More Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names. It should display only one option, and it should say "LTE - Verizon Internet", and under it, it should display "VZWINTERNET". If you change this value, by clicking on it, you go to another screen that says "Edit Access Point" at the top. You can change only one thing, and that is the APN name.
DO NOT CHANGE THIS VALUE. If it is anything other than "VZWINTERNET", you will lose all data access completely, that is, unless you're doing something Advanced that requires you to change it, and you know what you're doing. Also, if you factory reset the phone, it WILL NOT change this value back to the default. It will stay the same...so...something to think about.
In any case, I hope this helps the next guy with the same problem.
Hey guys. I have a slight problem on my phone. If I lose service on my phone it won't automatically reconnect to the network. I have to go into my mobile network settings and have the phone search for the network and than click on the network for it to connect. Its not a network issue its a phone issue and I was wondering if anyone knows of a good app, paid or free that will do this automatically for me because if I'm not paying attention and I lose service it just says no service until I do the steps above.
Thanks!
Just what the title says. My phone tells callers that I'm not accepting calls and when I attempt to make calls it simply refuses to do so or displayed a "call ended" message without ever dialing the other person. Everything else works fine and I can even make voice calls if I use duo mode instead of mobile. I can also receive calls if the caller uses duo mode.
Have been through everything except an actual reset. Unable to do that since the phone was a hand-me-down and I don't know the PIN. I've about reached the point where I do a hard reset manually but I hate to lose my data. Does anyone have anything I could try to either bypass or recover the PIN or something I could use to get mobile mode to work again?
Your sure you have service? If you do, do you have credit? Both of those would prevent you making calls. You can still use Duo if your on WiFi or you have a data only service. If you are showing that your connected to the network and you are certain you have minutes in your plan or credit available then you will need to call your network provider so they can see if there's any network issues preventing your calls. Check the network operators status page to see if there's issues in your area.

It appears that when using a Galaxy S9+ with ATT service the phone is unable to do VoLTE
The way that I was able to have internet on the phone and voice calling was to go into the APN and set the Network Mode to 3G/2G (auto connect)
That fixed it for me. Still pissed off that I can't use LTE but oh well it will work until I upgrade the phone.

Hello, I have an unlocked s9 that is going through a similar issue in not being able to make or receive calls. Can you let me know how you got the APN settings for 3G/2G? Going to APN settings I only see the nxgenphone setting open and active, which I heard was for LTE.
Also, can you let me know what setting it has to be in the 4636 mobile network settings in order to restore data? Thanks
