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?

How would i test that?
Are you flashing these Roms with your Sim removed? Also what is the signal strength in your area??
There are radio diag tests that can be done to assess your problem as well I believe in the Service menu

Not sure you can. Carriers usually don't charge for a new one. I would just get a new one from them and asses things after that.

I flash with my sim in. And if you could point me in the right direction i would appreciate it. I dont mind trying to test. But im a little lost. Currently im running pa 4.4.4 beta and i can get mms to work and what not. I still just get 3g. And it will blink. Ik its more cosmetic but i dont understand the numbers instead

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.

ok this is what i did....i started from stock rom and upgraded my radio and rom to the newest available from dcd ( dcd 3.2.5 and Radio ROM 3.42.50).......i ran the verizon carrier CAB and for some reason when i dial #228 or any other kind of numbers for verizon it rings and goes to the recorded sprint guy giving me an error....any body know why???
you *MIGHT* have to soft-reboot first, I'm not sure.
Actually wait - did you say Sprint guy?

you let the customizations run... thats why.
Your phone is 'stuck' on Sprint's network until you relock, flash back on the Verizon stock ROM, and get a DMU/data reset.
The first part is easy, but getting them to do a DMU reset for your data (if you even need it, which isn't clear at this point) is kind of a pain in the ass from what I've heard.

Once you let Sprint's customizations run, they stick until you undo them by reflashing to a Verizon ROM (Stock with all the settings and stuff)
Does it say Sprint instead of Verizon Wireless wherever your phone indicator is? If so, you are on Sprint's Network...

You may still be stuck with a Sprint PRL/PRI or whatever.
Um, if I can find a way to export mine, I can upload it for you to import...
P.S. customizations on custom roms like DCD should be allowed to run, as they don't contain carrier-specific information, unless noted to have so.

i cant do *22899......it says the feature code i have entered is not valid
I laugh a little every time I see someone post about *22899. *22899 does NOTHING different than dialing *228 option 1. It simply overrides the prompt and is used by Verizon during activation or troubleshooting so they can dial it and put the phone down to work on other stuff.
For some reason, people think it's like this secret magic fix and it absolutely is not.
So to make a long story short, for the past few weeks I have not been able to send sms. It happened all of a sudden and with no changes to cause it. I can send mms, receive and make calls, but no sms. Took it to Verizon yesterday with the thought in mind that I had a faulty simple card, they tried another one and nothing. Factory reset, nothing. Spent two hours watching them try tthe same things I did. Then they gave up and said to refer to samsung. My question is, is this a software issue? And will rooting and throwing a rom on do the trick? Also is there a root method for after the 4.3 update at the moment?

Check to see if you are on Global or CDMA/LTE/EVDO
settings/more networks/mobile networks/network mode
I was having issues receiving MMS messages and set this from global back CDMA/LTE/EVDo and that fixed it.

Did you try a factory reset???
Hey bud... had the same issue. Over and over for quite some time (since before owning the S4).
Only real fix was to reset the phone (stock, rooted, or custom rom)... only to have it crop up later, again and again.
Last call to VZW and the girl had me swap my SIM and get a new phone, this was while I was on vacation and when I got home, the phone hard bricked on the MJ7 update. So I am not sure what is what and not even sure if it will crop up again. I haven't seen the issue for a few weeks though.
I do have a little, non scientific, theory on this.
Everytime I have had this occur that I can recall, I was traveling from my home. Maybe 100 miles or more. VZW messaging (web) never got any of the messages and the VZW rep can see the messages come into their system and the system believes it is delivering the messages. This also occured with the GNex.
I am assuming that one of two things are going on here.... something is messed up with my provisioning (and your's maybe) or there is an issue with handoffs.
A friend of mine went through the same thing until I did this:
Turn off the radios one by one including: bluetooth, mobile network, and then do airplane mode. Make sure you're on the CDMA/EvDO/LTE settings instead of global. Reboot the phone. Turn off airplane mode, and then turn on your mobile network and give it about a minute. Then try sending SMS.

Damn ... I was hoping that was the ticket. Your phone might need to be provisioned. *228 to make sure it has updated PRLs. Failing that, you may need to call up VZW.

It is a known Verizon network issue. There is people way above the front line staff working on it. They don't tell the front line staff this because since it's just limited to aosp and they only support stock, unrooted phones they tell people there is no issue. They could send you ten replacements phones and they all will do the same thing. It's not the phone, it's not the AOSP rom, and it's not your sim card. It's a bizzare issue that makes all aosp roms ever made not work in certain areas, mostly central pa but others as well. There is another xda user working directly with the engineers providing me updates. I will let you know when we find out a resolution.
Here is my thread which is for the Note 2 with the same issue. There is also links that others have posted in my thread with the exact same symptoms since 2/20/14.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2662658
I currently have my rezound unlocked and s-off with a straight talk att sim card, running liquid rom (most current). I have used CDMA workshop to edit nv values that would supposedly get 3g working (no-go). At no point since I have had the rezound on straight talk (even before nv edits) have I been able to send or receive sms, or receive phone calls. I can make outgoing calls and have edge data. I've tried fifty different ROMs and as many or more different "3g fix" hacks, to no avail. I have used probably over 100 different APN settings as well. I am (slowly) downloading all the files I need for a complete downgrade and update (my rez is my only source of internet right now), in hopes that doing that may have some influence in getting things working properly.
Edit: Forgot the most important part, if anyone has any thing that they think may work, please share. I'm willing to try anything at least once.

If on "stock ROM" it should work without if on other ROM flash this if it doesnt connect automaticly let it sit for a while if it still doesn't reflash
Are you on AT&T or T-Mobile StraightTalk? Have you tried the SIM in another device? The reason I ask is because if you can make an outbound call and get Edge data, that is all you really you need to receive a call and send/receive SMS. MMS is a little more complicated but until you can get the voice and SMS working, I wouldn't even worry about MMS. But I am going to be honest, this sounds more like a SIM or Straight Talk setup issue than a phone issue.

Luck?
I am not sure I understand why all this is necessary... there are two simple prop.build tweaks that need to be done to get GSM to work reliably with most JB/KK ROMs, if you look in the first or second post of ROMs like Vanir and Evervolv you will see a GSM.zip that you can flash to make these changes for you, some newer ROMs make these changes for you on the fly (or so it appears, I do not have a Rezound any longer). This is typically all that is required to make it work, although some NV edits might be needed to tune the radios for better reception, it should have basic functionality with minimal changes.
Make sure you on the latest Hboot and radios, wipe thoroughly, and flash per dev's instructions and look through your ROM thread for any GSM specific settings or changes that need to be made (if you can't find any, ask in the ROM thread to be sure).
I have to go back to wondering if you tested this in a AT&T phone to make sure it works, because this sure sounds like a SIM or activation issue with Straight Talk to me.
It may very well be an issue with straight talk. I used the att sim from their byop kit and don't have an att phone to test it on. I'm still trying to get all of the files downloaded to do a full factory restore to make sure it's not something in my device that's the issue.

I have downloaded the file, but still haven't gotten a chance to flash. I'll update here as son as I get a chance.
So I tried about three different gsm fix zips, including the one Aly3n posted. None of them worked. I have only two options left. Full factory downgrade and restore, and calling straight talk to see what they have to say.

Did you dirty flash your ROM between each GSM patch flash? If not you didn't have a good starting point for each attempt because your system partition had been modified with each flash...
Clean flash every time.

I would try to find an AT&T phone to test your SIM... I am betting this is a ST issue

Have let it sit for a while
So a few days back I decided to install cloudy and messed with the build.prop a little bit. I was having 3g and roaming issues so I decided to try jasmine v2. Same issues there as well. Then I went back to v1.1 and now I'm back on fully rooted stock. My problem is if I fully pull the battery, wait a few seconds, and then boot back up I am able to get 4g for about 10 seconds or so, after which time the phone always mysteriously jumps back to 3g and never leaves from there. Seriously weird. While I was having the issues with Cloudy I dialed *228 because I read something about updating the preferred roaming list (and looking back I realize I shouldn't have done this!), but I always get 4g for a few seconds after booting up still...it just always goes away. Anyone have any useful suggestions?
I'd stop by a verizon store or give them a call and get a new sim card.

I might be stuck doing this, as since Cloudy I've tried Jasmine 2.0, 1.1, the stock root deodex rom by Beans, all with normal wipes and advanced wipes prior to flashing. Lol I even used my Verizon to temporarily switch my phone line to an old crappy non-smartphone I have laying around and then back to the G3 thinking maybe possible that could somehow "restore" proper programming or something, all with no dice! Needless to say, it was a late night at that point.
Then I got to thinking, that maybe the full restore guide here on XDA (that I've used before) might do a more "full" restore than simply flashing a new rom. So I did that, and so far my issue appears to be fixed! More testing is still needed at this point, but if there's anyone who comes across similar issues, you might try that. I'll report back once I know for sure if this was the solution. Thanks!
You don't *228 a 4G phone, they update their PRLs, on their own, on boot. You may have fried your SIM card.

Yep...as the OP clearly says, looking back I realize I shouldn't have done that It didn't hurt my SIM card.....I'm not an expert by any means, but I feel like something must have somehow gotten seriously borked with the radio or something, I really don't know - all I know is using the "full restore to stock" instructions with the .tot and LG flash tool, everything is back up and running great again. Figured I'd share my experiences on the off chance anyone else has any similar issues!
So, have you re-done all the work to reinstall Cloudy ? If so, did the 4g to 3g drop problem return ? I am not sure from following thus threading the problem was with Cloudy.

I'm not sure exactly where the problem came in, whether from Cloudy or not, but I'm not refreshing it to find out lol, as I was still having definite drop to 3g and never return problems, along with it saying I was roaming during those times. I'm just gonna stick with the stability of the rooted stock US rom for now
I rooted my Verizon Galaxy S4 and then changed APN settings for it to work on T-mobile. Everything works fine except the MMS, but that's not an issue at hands( i can always use whatsapp or similar apps). The question is will i be able to get OTA for the Lollipop once it comes out for GS4 (rumors say it should be out really soon). Please let me know what I should do to be able to get the Lollipop. Please assume I know nothing about these processes (which is true, i just can follow precise directions) and if possible provide step-by-step instructions.
Thanks.

Why did you change your APN settings to T-Mobile??? That doesn't make any sense! You will probably get lollipop a year from now if at all! Don't expect lollipop on your Verizon phone any time soon...

I switched service provider from Verizon to Tmobile and wanted to keep the GS4. I still have the old verizon sim, but verizon service has been disconnected. Is there no way for me to the get lollipop?

No, not officially from Google! Your phone is still a Verizon phone, and you'll get the update when Verizon decides to push it out. But how does that phone work on T-Mobile at all?! It shouldn't be working at all with T-Mobile Sim...

I have done some research and came across people who said the phone should not work, people who said that some additional modules need to be installed in order for it to work, and other people who said all i have to do is change APN. I chose the third option as it required the least effort and was easily reversible ( i think). After changing the APN settings this Sunday ( 3 days ago), the phone makes call on Tmobile network, has 4G LTE and lower speed internet, sends/accept SMS (not MMS).

Honestly, I'm surprised that it works! As for the MMS problem- verify the settings: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc and it should work, since everything else works....
that is exactly what i have and MMS is not working. I'm not really concerned about the MMS, just trying to figure out how to get lollipop.
thanks

To get Lollipop when it comes out for our Phone. Whenever it does, just use your computer and flash the lollipop TAR using ODIN. Or you could just download the OTA.zip and sideboard it from the stock recovery. Just come back to this site after Lollipop comes out and there will be a guide.
Edit: wait... if all you changed was APNs then you can still take the update through settings.

To let you know, a while back someone posted a guide in the general on how to enable TMobile AWS on our phone.
