Hi guys. Lately my mom's Galaxy S2 was losing service all the time and we had to reboot to make it work again. One day it stopped completely and it did not want to go back.
I searched for this problem on XDA and I found a pretty interesting fix that happens to work on ALL Android devices. That's why I'm posting it here, since P500 is my phone.
Since I flashed CM 7.2.0 A4 I've been losing service for a few seconds and getting it back with 2G data only. It was becoming quite annoying so I decided to use the fix I used on Galaxy S2 and IT WORKED!
No more service lost, 3G all the time and much better signal. So here is how to do it:
1- Go to Dialer app on Application settings.
2- Delete Data then Force Close.
3- You will lose service for a few seconds.
4- It will come back with full force.
I know, it's a strange fix, but it works on ALL Android devices (Gingerbread only I think, I haven't tested on earlier builds).
If you guys are having problems with signal, 3G or anything related, try it. This fix also worked on my friend's Milestone 1.

It works. Just clear the cache, force close and then signal is back.
Hopefully this stays permanent.

Hi mate,
I also got random no signal problem from on my Galaxy S 2, and I found your tutorial...
However I couldn't find the "Dialler" app on application settings, do you mean the Dialer Storage? on my phone that Dialer storage has about 4.5 MB data
Thanks in advance

It is working , thank you xP
I bought my Evo4G LTE about two weeks ago and immediately rooted it. I have S-off with lazy panda and am running CM10 JB rom. Throughout the first week everything was running just fine. I could send and receive picture messages and MMS using both 3G and wifi. However over the past few days this has all changed. Whenever a picture comes in, either on 3G or wifi, the word "downloading" appears greyed out but the message never comes in. I have turned off and back on then back off automatic downloads. I have rebooted the phone, reloaded an earlier nandroid and nothing works. This happened all the time on my OG Evo 4G and I just wrote it off to "being the way it is". But honestly that isn't good enough with a brand new phone. I tried researching this and came up with someone saying to connect to Sprint Zone, which I cannot do because it is a stock app only and let the program troubleshoot for me. I downloaded an apk of this but it will not work.
If anyone has any help with this it would be much appreciated.

Which sense rom do you suggest? So I need to keep one for backup on my phone and switch back over to CM10 after I update? I've only been getting one bar of cell service lately. Is this all pointing to the same issue? Would the prl still be the problem even when on wifi?
Any sense Rom, since its just for updates grab on of the basic stock roms from android development section. All the custom roms are a lot larger due to the various mods and extra stuff

Went ahead and downloaded the stock rom with goodies. Went through settings and updated the prl and profile. Can anyone tell me what the correct prl should be or does it depend on your location? Btw thank you for helping me with this.
Mine is at 25006
I'm on the same prl then. I still don't know what's up. I always have 1 bar of signal and am very frequently on 1x instead of 3g. At the same time my wife will be on 3g with full bars on her iPhone. The part that gets me about not sending and receiving pictures is that I was on WiFi. Should it matter what profile and prl I'm on if I'm trying to receive data via WiFi?

Well most ASOP roms have the issue of intermittent mms not downloading but with that said some sense roms don't allow mms over WIFI and some do. If you aren't connected to WIFI and you still can't download mms after profile and prl updates you can get your msl number and do a data reset and go through the process of reregistering your phone with sprints network and that should solve your issue.

Hello friends,
I am actually a Sense convert, thanks to the combo of CM10 and AOKP, found in ROMs like JellyBam and PAC Man...
The ONLY thing that's making me unable to use those ROMs as my Daily Driver, is the following issue:
1. Turn on 3G and GPS togther
2. Launch map and choose a place to Navigate to (Navigation is launched)
3. EVERYTHING LOCKS PERFECT! My turn by turn is now ready
4. Give it a minute or two on the road and BOOM! The phone loses signal, 3G is cut off, GPS loses its lock, and I am stranded in the middle of my destination
Give it a minute or two... sometimes minutes on end, and the GPS locks again (after signal is restored and 3G returns), but shortly soon after, the issue repeats itself.
Now, can someone please confirm for me that that is indeed a CM10/AOKP bug and all of you have this issue? Trust me, I have tested it in MANY areas, it's not a weak signal issue. If I only have my 3G on, the connection is RARELY lost (probably with bad signal), but when GPS is used WITH 3G, it's almost UNUSEABLE and dangerous to navigate with, due to the loss of attention from the road and losing your turns ALL THE TIME!
I would appreciate any help on people confirming that I am not alone on this one, and that if you guys know any fixes or workarounds for this? I would love to offer a Logcat even, but personally, I have given up on Devs never willing to do that for the issues I have reported in the past. Not complaining, just saying they are busy or just don't want to help me with Logcats.
Thank you and I hope everyone is well. Appreciate you guys reading the message.
I've been on cm10 for over a month and have never had that problem. I've used navigation for 2 hours straight without a hitch.
Are you on the cm nightlys? I use the irc builds.

I am suffering from the same issue, it persists for me on all CM10 builds and JellyBAM. I think I did what you said, but the bug did occur again (while using nav, gps and 3g signal goes out for a few minutes). I just wanted to double check what you were suggesting. When you say menu, reset, do you just mean reseting the phone after installing the GPS status and toolbox, or is there a menu option in GPS status and toolbox I'm not seeing?
Thanks,

He means download the app. Open the app. Then hit menu from within the app. Choose reset. Then close the app. Then reboot your phone and try your GPS.

Thanks for the quick response. Maybe I'm being stupid (I hope I am), but I do not see the reset option when I hit menu from within the app. I see Tools, Share, Radar, and Settings. Is it the Tools-> Manage A-GPS state -> Reset?
Thanks again.

Yea I'm thinking that's it. I'm not a 100% sure as I've not had this issue or a need to use the app. However that would seem to be it. If that fails look threw the settings for anything that has the reset option. Also being cautious is never stupid. Hope this helps.

Hoping to find some help here. I have searched the web and no definitive answer. I was running CM 10.1.3 on my Razr Maxx for a long while. Just flashed to CM 10.2 with Android 4.3. Since flashing, I no longer get a 4g icon for my signal, I get LTE. In addiiton, the LTE signal fades in and out and most times the bars are white which I have found out means I'm not synced with Google servers. I have played with the APN options to no avail. Is anyone familiar with this problem? Is there a fix? Thanks for any help you can provide.

The LTE icon replaced the 4G icon in development, that's normal. Are you sure you're losing sync status? Where did you read that is the reason? Do your emails, etc push through notification? If so, there's really no problem other than an icon that isn't 100% representative of its status.
Also, did you do a complete wipe before upgrading to 10.2? Major updates usually recommend full wipes before upgrading for many reasons.
I did a fresh root and install of safestrap 3.65 and CM10.2 stable on my xt912 for verizon. I also have the same issue. Coming from the stock rom I now get terrible service and if I change the network to anything with LTE (global or cdma/evdo +LTE) I cannot send or receive picture messages. I tried to change the APN and it makes no difference. Lastly if I try to edit the APN it will disappear from the list.
I stopped editting the apn because when I limit the service to cdma/evdo I can send and recieve picture messages, but I get no LTE/4g service.
I am starting to wonder if the rom slot 1 conflicts somehow with the original stock rom.
After installing safestrap I did a factory wipe (not advanced) and installed the rom and gapps.
If there is something I am missing please do inform me. Perhaps the op's issue is the same.

It is fine to get mms to send on CDMA. If the phone is on a 4G or LTE antenna it doesn't work for me. Also, this does not solve the issue of the APN's disappearing. This is a fix for some cases not a solution.
In my case I created Rom slot #2 and installed CM11 M4 snapshot and all is working there. LTE works fine, MMS sends... I didn't find any immediate other issues in the 2 hrs I played with it last night. Looks like this may be the daily driver for a while until CM11 stable comes out.
I still have 10.2 available in Rom slot #1 so I can test if anyone cares to find the real "solution"

I would not have thought this would be an issue on a stable build either.
With kitkat in development, CM10.2 will be abandoned.
Probably will try CM11 nightly myself in about a month unless there is another snapshot or even stable build by then.

The stock lollipop Rom has an issue with syncing hangouts and gmail. In order to force sync,IPv6 is manually disabled every 1 minute. When that happens, your data connection resets, and you see your phone go up through the speed technologies.

This is probably what you seek, but a word of warning; I haven't tried any of this myself. I don't know whether this will work or break your phone. If I were trying to do this, I would probably just comment out that second line (put a '#' in front), but if you start getting sync problems, this will probably be why.

Theoretically you won't still have this problem if you go back to KK. I haven't gone back to KK since I took the plunge into LP, so don't quote me on that. In fact, if you just install the stock LP ROM, you won't have this problem any more as well.
OR, you could install Jasmine 5.0, and then upgrade it to something like 5.0.7 or 5.0.8, which ever one was before the IPv6 fix started getting baked into the Rom. That's probably what I would do, but I haven't tried SkyDragon yet, so I don't know what I'm missing.

You'll have to follow the steps from the 5.0 post. Extract the files to /sdcard/ and then do some shell commands in TWRP. Takes you out of your comfort zone a little, but it worked for me.
