Hello XDA World,
I have had my i717(AT&T) for few years and over those years used roms with no issues at all, anyone else having issues with candycatt besides the known issues of flicker and or camera? I installed this rom to instructions standards, and to my own haha (even uber version).
Qlease anyone have an issue or fix for no data (can place/receive calls and text) no internet unless wifi?
Other roms (old/new) even with no MD5 i still get data.
My Candycatt:
Pros:
Great Rom
Smooth and Fast
Not a battery destroyer
Cons:
No Data (for me)
Flicker (trying a fix/patch found in thread)
Random Reboots
Update 4/14 241pm: I was At&t contract then switch to go phone, i called them first because was not getting 4g LTE they fixed it on there end, guess the go phone card (new) stated i had basic phone....at that time i reverted back to blackstar x1 everything worked except minor issues guessing do to md5.
Sincerely,
a not so noob, but still a noob

Thank you for the quick reply, I am ATT and went from contract to go phone 4g LTE prepaid. I called them and fixed issue few days ago because was not getting 4g LTE service or Data...it was an issue on there end guess there updated info said i had a basic bell phone.
When i reverted back to Blackstar X1 data worked fine, but rom had issues not sure if MD5 error or due to new version of JB/KITKAT.

Yes it is, fallowed step by step as usual and directed on thread. Since having issues and 3+ installs and no fixes I checked and cleaned all xboxes through latest twrp. After instruction step by step I tried so many ways haha. Wipe after zip flash, wipe after ROM boot the whole 9 yards.
My phone says 4g LTE and standard os settings reads ATT network, with out WiFi browser and Google play state no connection. When I get time I will send photos of important settings and issues with this ROM and old black star to prove DATA works on other ROMs.

So last night I updated my s3 to the latest UK firmware, XXBLG8, And I can't tell if my problems stem from the latest update!
After the update many apps wouldn't open and I'd have to do a battery pull to sort out each individual app that refused to load, everything's fine now, however, my data connectivity seems to have worsened considerably, even with full signal strength and HSPDA nothing will load, the browser shows errors that I'm not connected to the internet and apps such as the Play Store and Speedtest won't connect.
Anyone else experiencing this problem? Would I be able to flash back to an earlier firmware using ODIN? (I'm new to the s3 scene, just jumped ship from a Desire HD and haven't yet fully got my bearings.)
Thanks guys!

only problem i have noticed is that speedtest does no longer work but everything else perfect. Infact my hsdpa connection is much better on this rom. you can easily downgrade your rom back if you wish just follow this excellent guide to flash via odin.

Hmm, I suppose it could be the area I'm in, but it's usually fine where I am. I'll give it another couple of days and test it in other areas to see if the problem persists.
I've upgraded via ODIN before, just wasn't sure if there were restrictions on downgrading etc, I'll give the thread you linked to a good read now, thanks!
Try changing Modem BULF1 for starters .
I find the last two updates modems are very poor .

I am also on the 8 firmware and so far it's good.
looks like speedtest.net have changed there site slightly if you goto site with mobile agent set on browser it redirects to the play store to the speedtest app, change browser to desktop as long as you have flash installed all is fine. I believe this has been done site to the up and coming removal of mobile flash

Thanks, I'll give it a go!
So I decided to bust out my Desire HD, I remembered I still have a month left on my old contract before it gets terminated, checked the data connectivity on there and I seem to be having the same issues. Looks like it's a problem with 3 in general rather than it being my s3. Which is good news for my s3!
Must have been pure coincidence that I started having these issues right after upgrading, however, I tried a few new modems and have been getting better signal (no change with the data issues) so at least I've taken something away from the experience
Isn't there an issue with 3 UK branded ROMs experiencing network issues when you flash the unbranded ROM? I think you may need to flash a separate modem, Google it, I may be wrong.
I'm on 3uk running blg8 not had any problems making, receiving calls and texts and my network is fine on both wireless and 3g

It seems to be working pretty well this morning on both my s3 and DHD, and Frostfree I'll have to check that out, I've already flashed a few new modems and I'm getting better performance so that might very well be the case!
I'm in Folkestone (south east coast)
I am on BLG6 with Cyanogen Mod 10 latest rom and so far I have great speeds (4-5Mb) on speed test app.
Will try flashing BLG8 when i can find a download link. I just want the modem to flash not a whole rom cos i am loving JB on the SGS3.
Hi guys... I'm trying to solve a problem with my Vibrant, CM10 works except it doesn't give me data connection. But first I have to tell you a bit of a backstory
So, a couple of months ago I was a Vibrant CM9 user, never been able to solve the data problem with CM10 so I stick w/ 9. Then I decided to sell my phone and I put up an annuncment saying the phone has this and that and that and it comes with ICS.
Then CM9 for Vibrant disappeared from CM site (never understood why) and I couldn't sell my device with a ROM that was not supported anymore. I found a buyer and told him that actually I wasn't able to give him the phone w/ ICS and he was fine with it, so I sold the phone.
Now he just called me and said that the CM7 was draining is battery in 4h (never happened to me) and so he had someone installing another ICS custom ROM (he doesn't know which one) but it is buggy and bla bla bla and he asked for my help.
I don't want to ignore him, I was the one who kinda dropped the ball in the first place not giving him what I promised, and the easiest, quickest and better way to help him would be to having him install CM10 and solve the data connection thing. Another easy way would be to get a CM9 zip, but there must have been a reason for them to remove it... right?
Why all the story? To tell you that now I have to fix a problem on a device that I don't have with me
Now I explained everything to him and instructed him to install CM10, and I'm waiting to hear back from him.
I live in Italy and I have a minor carrier, he has one of the big ones... I was hoping that that alone could solve the problem, but most likely it doesn't matter at all.
Any suggestions?
Thank you a lot in advance.
Flashing any Jelly Bean ROM on one of the Vibrants I have with no SIM card installed will yield no cell data when the card is put back in.
Flash the same ROM with the SIM card in and cell data comes up perfect.
If you're flashing with the SIM card out it might be worth trying with it back in...
The other Vibrant I have doesn't care at all if the card is in or out.
Thank you for your help, I don't believe this applies to the Vibrant that I had, but I'll remember it and I'll try to put the sim in and out or something. The guy didn't reply to me yet... we'll see.
In the mean time any other thoughts are welcome
CM7 should NOT be used. Ideally you should run CM10 or CM10.1 to make sure you have the best E911 experience.
Has he tried flashing CM10 maybe it'll work with his SIM card or however he does it.

Did you mean CM9? Because of the EU Bug? Or what is wrong with CM7?
Anyway E911 is not important because in Europe the universal emergency number is that uses the E911 system is 112, but here in Italy we are retarded and we didn't implemented it yet. Seems like it's a work-in-progress thing, but it's complicated because in Italy 112 has always been another emergency number (carabinieri answer to it)... and also because we are retarded.

I used for a while the CM9 on sensation xe and had no issues with data connection. After moving to the CM10 (CM version= 10-20130119-EXPERIMENTAL-pyramid) I'm now having that problem. The WIFI works great but no data connection on the mobile network. I tried rebooting, wiping cach/dalvik cach, reset network to default settings...nothing worked for me.
any help!
I had been using an epinter 10.1 ROM from May 2013 with Simple as carrier.
Tried several epinter ROMs since but were not reliable until 12/11/13. Works great (though BT with car no longer functional).
PROBLEM - at the beginning of this month switched to TMobile from Simple because Simple too slow (even though they use TMobiles network. Now get No Service often. Rebooting phone generally fixes problem. Don't know if its because of new ROM or problem with TMobile.
Using a highly experimental ROM is definitely not a good way to debug possible network/operator problems.

Probably, in my case, this could be due to the roms or the carrier... slow speeds, random data drops, imposibility to reconnect sometimes... you should try with a different phone, presumably a feature phone (not smartphone) to see how well it works. My point of comparison is an old motorola rokr E2, since it has linux, I can test opera, wget and pings to check network state
I had CodeFire on my DNA for about a month. All was running well. I just installed whatever was current around 2/23 and never installed a nightly update. Last week, I started having problems texting. I thought the ROM was going belly up on me. So I flashed SlimKat. I still cannot text without cycling Airplane Mode in between each. Alternatively, I can wait about an hour to sent a subsequent test message after a successful one.
I just re-flashed the latest radio hoping that would fix it. I'm at a loss. Do I need to call VZW and have them do something on their end?

The kit kat roms are ported. There are several issues with them that cannot be "fixed" until the source code is released. If the phone does not respond to any commands including trying to boot.... leave it on a factory charger for 24 hours. Then try to work with it

What do you mean by "phone is dead"? Completely non responsive or no signal. I've been on cfx since I ported it over with no issues besides the random signal drop here and there. But that's maybe a few times per week and happens to me on all ROMs. What do you wipe when flashing a new ROM? Have you tried a RUU?

Dead as in Roaming again. My apologies for the exaggeration. I'm a bit frustrated here. I cannot seem to win with this thing. I hated my Thunderbolt at the end, but at least it worked. RUU brings back mobile data and texting. I've tried CM 10.2 several times. Each time, it gets stuck in roaming. I cannot change the NV setting. Changing it, then checking it again and it's right back. I've tried flashing with the SIM in. With it out. I've cycled Airplane mode a few times. Rebooted. Installed GApps. Rebooted. Cycled Airplane mode. I'm missing something. Apparently.
I just want a phone without Sense or the Verizon crap. CFX was awesome until this texting issue.

Have you considered hardware issues? If it was a ROM issue it wouldn't be a one person issue. Or provide a log of what's happening when you send SMS. You're just not giving us much to go by, except what's not working. Are you doing full wipes between flashing roms, or just cache or factory resets?

Full Wipes between flashes.
I've had this phone for about two months. I initially had issues flashing CM and being stuck in roaming. No CM ROM I attempt to flash will work. They always end up stuck in roaming. I think the problem is that I can't switch from NV. When I change it, it always goes right back. Not sure what's up there.
I just flashed ★ ☆ [ROM/RADIO][4.2.2] Stock 3.06.605.4 | Rooted | Odex-Deodex | Sense5 And now SMS works, but I'm stuck in 3G.
I hadn't considered hardware only because with each ROM, the previously broken feature works, but then something new pops up.
With one, I can text, but am in 3G. With another, I've got 4G but can't text without cycling Airplane mode.
I sincerely apologies for coming off as a d!ck. I've nothing to contribute to the community but my bug reports and money. It's frustrating to see how quickly some phones are abandoned, though.
I've always been thankful for everyone's help and tried to offer bug reports and donations where applicable.
I just want my phone to work, with a plain vanilla OS and tethering. I don't need Sense. I don't need fancy mods. Just a phone that works.
Please accept my apology, and thanks again for the help.

Have you considered the fact that the recovery itself is causing your issues? I would give TWRP a try to see if there are differences. TWRP is a must to flash KitKat roms and the version used is critical.

Nope. I didn't consider that. Because most of my problems were with CM 10.2.1. Which is JB, correct?
That being said, I've tried both CW and TWRP to no avail. After being stuck in 3G for two days across multiple ROMs, I'm convinced the hardware went belly-up.

Since my last update, I've received a new DNA, and a new SIM card.
Check out the last few posts here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51465109
This is bizarre. Either I'm doing something wrong, or... I don't know. SMS works on a stock ROM but not on a custom ROM, with a new phone, with a new SIM.
I think you are doing something wrong.
RUU the latest firmware, factory reset, wipe data, cache, and system, install a ROM and DO NOT restore anything.
I think youre not completely wiping and/or are restoring things.
So I have been trying various MM roms but have finally admitted defeat and gone back to stock.
For what ever reason mobile signals for Virgin (EE) by us is not great, but the OPx has proved the worst phone I have owned yet with regard to making best use of what reception we do get, (Still have OP1 and S7 owners in the house, so have comparison).
However, all of the many MM roms I tried only made things worse with either weaker signal (or that's how it appeared) or they were unable to handle the swap between Wifi and Mobile, always requiring reboot, once I left the homes Wifi in order to get mobile data working!
It's so bad that I am even considering replacing the phone, but it's hard to find anything else in budget and size with same spec.
Thanks to everyone here who builds these custom roms and all the accompanying support, but for now I will continue with stock until I miss MM facilities too much.

It's just face value which shows yellow line in battery graph as far as I can tell. I do not see any difference now. Transition from wifi to mobile data is fine here. I am using turbo at the moment. Give it a try. If you wanna switch to a new phone, moto g4 plus should be good choice.

Hi, sorry not sure I understand the first part of your reply.
Anyway, the truth is that apart from this recent damned data issue, this is close to the perfect phone for me (seriously couldn't go for anything as large as the g4).
I have owned the OPx since release and though mobile data was never the best, it wasn't as bad as it has appeared this last couple of weeks. I am hoping that I have had a 'perfect storm' of events that led to 2 weeks of poor data connections/transfers. Bad roms, poorly implemented, weak mobile data areas etc etc.
Therefore, I am going to continue with testing different roms and set ups and hope that I can fix the issue, because there is no other phone on the market that comes as close to my perfect phone as the X.
I second Turbo ROM but also try Validius. Using it right now I think they feed it steroids.
For me this solution worked when facing troubles with mobile data on custom roms:
(Re)install the stock rom, backup EFS in Twrp, do a complete wipe, flash custom rom, restore EFS in TWRP, reboot to rom, restore standard settings in APN / mobile data settings, reboot.
It solved my frustrating issues, hopefully it does the same for you!

Many thanks for replying, I had indeed seen your thread and tried the solution, though initially I didn't think it had solved my issue. However, due to there being no other phone I care for, I tried another rom and then reflashed the EFS backup.
And you know what, I think it may just have worked this time.
Thanks for your help and others.
Go try Sultans ROM. He recently switched to Oxygens RIL

That's the one I'm trying and so far so good
It would be great if someone could create a flashable zip with oxygen RIL to use on any custom ROM. Don't even know if it's possible? Perhaps @RJDTWO can enlighten us, do you have the expertise? ?
Sultan's rom is the most stable regarding cell signal quality and speed. I have tried lots of roms, his rom is the only rom that comes near oxygen, every other custom rom has considerably worse lte speed and signal quality
@cokesucker it needs integration with the rom as far as i know, i think Sultan made the modifications needed for the rom to work with oxygen RIL
Folks, Ive dirty flashed the latest Rom, which I assume writes over the stoc EFS restore I had applied previous version of this Rom
Regardless, the difference in signal (as well as other areas) is noticeable.
I love this phone again, thanks everyone.

This is unfortunately not possible. The RIL itself is built with the ROM.
been on o2os, cm12, cm13 now - never had issues you describe, you can try development settings keep phone data always active could easily solve your issue since data wont never disconnect

I tried most things and thought that occasionally I had solved it by 'forcing wifi' or whatever.
However, because much I what I did was reactionary rather than trying scientifically to identify the main issues, the causes probably got lost in location, reboots, resets, etc etc.
What I can say is that for 2 days, I have been using Sultanas latest Rom and it has worked flawlessly.
Nice, good to hear Bob!
I'm using that rom too, it's a real gem!
(Oxygen EFS restoring was still necessary despite the oxygen ril though)

That's interesting, I'm using "as is", and so far so good. I'm off on travels tomorrow will keep an eye on performance. Any issues and I'll restore stock EFS.
