So this last week I have tried every possible way to activate a LS990 on T-Mobile USA. I tried a dozen or more online guides I followed all gave me the same result invalid sim or constant searching for signal. I have even argued wether the phone was truly unlocked with sprint customer service who proceeded to tell me the phone cannot work on T-Mobile. So I was about to give up... I gave it a try this morning, which was going to be my last. I finally got it to work best of all I had to do nothing it activated itself. I used Primes GSM rom and tried every other cloudy, stock you name it I have flashed it... I have had no luck until this morning... If anyone is trying to do this and not getting anywhere or about to give up PM me and I will tell you how I did it and this may help others stuck as I have been. There is no files or anything special. Call text and Data working 100% on T-MOBILE!!!!

I have a Bell atrix phone unlocked and currently on Rogers system. Once a day i get the call ended 0:00 error when attempting to make a call, or I can't receive a call. A reboot fixes the problem. Not sure if its a setting that i have in my phone, I have done a factory reset, but i still happens. Any solutions. Called motorola and i get the famous "we never heard of this problem, send your phone in for repair" line. HELP please its driving me nuts.
Same problem here but I have an AT&T Atrix on Straight Talk
i also have had this problem, at&t phone
have changed radios, roms, still have the problem.
i'm going to ask for a sim replacement, see if that works.

Let me know how that works for you. Getting a replacement sim from straight talk is a pain in the A$$!!!
For some reason it just started hanging up whenever i try to make a call with google voice or without...
I uninstalled and reinstalled google voice with the same issue...
Phone is working fine randomly... Still says 0:00 when I hang up after a long call. lol
Did the same thing to me on one certain phone number with Att cyanogenmod.
I remember deleting the area code off and dialing again for the fix.

Just very strange when I originally made the switch to my verizon phone to AT&T it was because Verizon had no service at my work and AT&T had excellent service...
it worked beautifully for a months, always had HSPA+ with the Atrix or "3.5G" with the E71
Now i always have Edge or nothing and it's dropping calls like crazy and doing this 0:00 thing...
Going to swap over to a new sim as well and see what happens.
Just got my new sim and ported over.
Still stuck on edge with 1-3 bars where before i was always 3g-hspa+
I'll check back in the 0:00 issue after i have made some calls
Ok so I (foolishly) bought a galaxy s4 with verizon even though I was moving overseas to Israel in two months. I made sure that the phone was world capable (like it can do cdma and gsm) and the guy at the store said it would handle foreign sims no problem. Once I arrived here I got a new sim. I figured out that it needed to be in gsm. From then on it had the service bar and confirmed it was connected to Orange. Since then I have been able to receive calls and texts, but not make them, every time I try to make a call before one ring I get a prerecorded message saying that my number cant be completed as dialed. I have tried several things already to fix this: to a cell phone repair person, to the local sim carrier where a lady tried using the sim of her own phone, customer service at verizon and samsung (who both told me to go see the other). I also did a factory reset which didnt do anything.
my phone is not rooted and is schi545 ME7. I will root if I have to, but if I dont I would prefer not to for the time being
Anyway I suspect the problem has something to do with the fact that I got the phone from verizon. Every time I start the phone I get the Verizon logo and after a minute I get a notification from the verizon set up wizard saying that I have a non verizon sim and that the sims source is unknown. I also tried disabling the verizon security and was able to make the notification go away but the problem persists.
Can someone with experience with this kind of stuff help me please? Thank you so very much:good:
Are you sim unlocked? I don't think the phone is unlocked. Talk to verizon to see if they'll unlock it.
According to verizon I am. I spoke with multiple representives from verizon and they said the phone was unlocked

Has any one told you if you have to change any apn, access point name? That may be the problem too. They can be specific to the carrier.
No, how do you configure that

In system settings, network & wireless, more, mobile networks, access point name. It'll be specific to the carrier so i can't help you there.
all LTE Verizon phones after Galaxy Note 2 are factory unlocked it must be a APN issue. Try maybe to do a factory reset and as previous poster suggested do the steps he told you to change the APN or look into I think it's called HiApn in Play Store.
Also try to put it in global mode or GSM? play with the settings.
still having problems
Thanks for all the input everyone but my problem still persists
I downloaded HiApn and followed its instructions to which told me to set up 3 Apns. I noticed that only one of them can be active at the time. I tried with each one active and I still can not make phone calls. Does anyone have any other ideas?

Go to Setting, call setting, disable the prefix international. I have done the same for using Verizon S4 in Indonesia.
Mine was not unlocked either, although I knew this before buying. This is a guide I tried (without success) to unlock it on my own.
Like the last poster, I reside in Indonesia, but I was never with Verizon. I rooted mine and have had no problems since.
Ok so I went to call settings and the closest I found was assisted dialing for international calls and the option to turn it on or off. I played with that for a bit and it didnt work.
I also tried the code and it said connection problem or invalid code
during my fiddling I came upon an app that showed promise of fixing my problem if I had adb shell. Does anyone have a good place to get that? I tried a few that didnt work out for me. There was another that showed promise but it wouldnt send a package no matter what I try
Thanks
If you want ADB, you need to download Android SDK and have Java Runtime Environment also installed. Then, it is just a matter of typing in "adb" into the command prompt of Windows.
Is there a serious conflict for you not rooting the device? The true benefit of doing this is to get SIM cards from anywhere to work, and to allow certain apps to work. Rooting is simply a matter of bypassing security parameters. As long as you follow instructions strictly, you won't have an issue using the phone as it should be used.
yea I suppose I could try to root it. Im just not great at that stuff and am worried about messing up my phone permanately

You don't need to root. You need to sim unlock. Get a hold of att international chat and adj them for an unlock code.
Hey guys thanks for all the help but I figured out that it was just a bad sim all along and that the first school screwed me over
But everything works now
Hello my friends.
I got the lg g3 ls990, every time that i try to turning on Bluetooth and wifi it just stuck in turning on but never does. And when i look under hardware info it says mac unavailable both of them. I already tried installing a custom rom and flash stock rom with lg flash tool but nothing worked.
It weird that this happened becasue it was working fine.
Can u give me some ideas how can i fix this problem? or it could be a hardware issue, but both of them at the same time?
Thanks !
ive had a similar issue with an LG G3 wifi wont stay on goes on/off gets greyed out shows on but it not etc etc......bluetooth the entire time works fine. i have tried EVERYTHING from reboots to reloads.... various firmware versions various modems and multiple kernels...even full LG Flash tool restore to bone stock etc etc....finally called Squaretrade and got a replacement phone.
I've also encountered this issue just yesterday. I got so frustrated that I ended up factory-resetting to stock just to see if it would go away. However, even on an unrooted stock version, the problem persists. I was running on the BareeZVC rom for about 2 weeks too, and out of random, the wifi is no longer connecting. You have to leave it for like 2-3 mins for it to show up again and then it disappears back to it's off state. Does anyone have any clue as to what the heck is going on? Also, my G3 has been passed down to my brother as I already have an S7. Please help!
I am sorry as I can no longer be of help, but I have recycled the Sprint G3 and purchased the Canadian variant of it. Best of luck guys!
This is suddenly happening to me, too. The Sprint store employee said a factory reset is about a 50/50 chance of it working so I rejected that as a solution. I'm eligible for an upgrade anyway, so I think I'm moving phones, if not carriers, too.
Seriously considering the Nexus 6P.
Within the last week, I downloaded and installed the latest update for the Sprint S9+ (ARG7). Before getting the update, Calling Plus was working fine. The transition from wifi to data during a call worked great. After taking the update, CP is hit and miss. Sometimes it's enabled, sometimes it isn't. It usually only enables itself while on wifi. When on a call and leaving wifi, CP completely drops and the call drops. Is anyone else having this issue? If so, how did you fix it? I'm really hoping I won't have to reset my phone.
It all makes sense now.... I've been on the phone with Sprint and Samsung the least few days and nobody can figure out why. They wiped and reinstalled everything... Still nothing... Went today to Sprint and they gave me another sim card.... Still don't work.... So I just looked up online and see that Sprint is doing away with calling plus and finally getting voilp..... And the technician said that Sprint was discontinuing calling plus

I ended up resetting my phone and it fixed it at that time. I still randomly have Calling Plus crap out. No idea why it's happening still. Sprint is indeed doing away with Calling Plus in favor of VoLTE. People have been saying don't take the update for your phone for VoLTE of you're not in a soft launch market.
So the phone itself, as stated is a MetroPCS branded Alcatel One Touch Fierce XL, and according to metro it is in fact UNLOCKED. It is on the latest update of the stock rom from metro I believe (Android Lollipop 5.1.1 ). so that, as far as i can tell is not the complete issue however I'm wondering if it being from metro is contributing to the issue at hand. I am using Mint Sim/Mint Mobile, they have amazing coverage in my area that I myself experienced for a week, so I'm almost positive it is not a coverage issue. Now down to the bare bones of the problem:
I got this phone about two weeks ago now, bought it in "unlocked" "New, Other" Condition on eBay from the seller Cellfeee. Had to use the unlock app when I got it but it went through fine, with no issues. Fast forward I activate my new sim, put it in the phone and experience great coverage for about a week and a half. Phone was lovely. Fast forward more, around 8:30 pm on August 29 2018 I lost service completely. Start journey into google. I have done the following:
Taken out the sim
restarted the phone
tried the sim in other devices
factory reset the phone
rooted the phone, removed metro apps and apn
done *#4636# I don't know how many times
messed with every mobile and wifi setting possible
the only time I have gotten service back was last night around 10, the phone had no wifi connection and it seemed to pick up a very strong signal that faded while i watched.
I have determined that It is NOT the sim card, I have determined it is most likely not the hardware, the only thing left that I can think of is either the ROM or the modem firmware itself. My question is, do any of you think that flashing a custom rom onto the phone could cure this? is there a way to find the most recent stable firmware for the modem and update/downgrade it to that? I've already cut my losses and bought a new phone through alcatel on their amazon link so it's not like i'm completely screwed but honestly I'm so irritated with this phone and I just want concrete answers/results at this point. any suggestions welcome. thank you for your time.
Edit: The service provider in the top corner was mint while the phone was working. after it began to fail it switched to either no service OR metropcs, now it often says metropcs even when no service don't know if this makes a difference
