Mobile internet suddenly stopped working - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

I have Kate device (originally kate). Everything was OK with cellular reception, in my room I always got LTE+ full on. But with moving to a new ROM it started being a bit worse, although I always flashed firmware. I decided to try another firmware today and now cellular almost doesn't work at all. If I flash Kenzo firmware -- phone doesn't see SIM at all. If I flash Kate firmware (doesn't matter if it's from Global ROM or not) -- after boot I see LTE signal (not LTE+ as previously) for 10 seconds or so (and not only see, If I try to set up device after wipe it actually works) -- but then it shows "no signal" for a minute. After that I either get LTE for 10 seconds again or sometimes HSDPA+ or even Edge, also very unstable.
Did I do something wrong or is it my mobile operator messingup something?

No network signal

Hi to all.
I put Cofface's cyano into my Redmi 3 a week ago and it worked fine except for the network signal that seemed to me to be weaker than on stable or dev miui rom. Yesterday I don't know what i did, i just switched the network type from the services menu (*#*#4636#*#*) to see the signal strenght of 2g/3g/4g and after doing that, the phone stopped to take signal with my SIM in any network type. So i switched back through MiFlash (and selected flash all option), to the Dev and also to the stable rom, but now I just have 4G working.
I tried to put again CM and i get no signal in every network type, even trying to restore a nandroid backup that i made when the phone worked. I also tried to flash through fastboot the NON-HSLO.bin took from developer rom, but nothing changed. What could it be? Where I live the 4G is not everywhere so most of the time I'll be without signal and it would be really frustrating.
I tried my sim in a Samsung phone and it takes both 2g/3g (the phone doesn't have 4g) , but trying another sim in my phone (of the same carrier) gives me the same result of above : only 4g . While on CM that sim could connect (only 4g) but mine not.
Please help me! :crying:
sorry if i didn't explain myself well, but I'm not english
EDIT: with the 4G i can only surf on the net but i can't make or receive phone calls. I'm giving up on this phone
EDIT2: following some guides I erased modemst1 and modemst2 but now I'm unable to get IMEI and I have unknown baseband
I have the same problem as you (almost)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-3/help/cellular-network-redmi-3-t3370459
I also have poor reception and can't make any call or receive them on any band 2g/3g/4g and i have this problem since I received the phone.
Did you fix your problem??
I have the same problem of very bad cellular signals.
with the same carrier, when other phones 2 samsung, 1 chinese (cheap unbranded), one very old nokia all have good reception, xiaomi redmi 3 pro is inaccessible from other phones.
today I'll try to install some signal booster apps from thestreet.com/story/11733410/1/7-apps-that-improve-smartphone-reception.html hopping for the best.
if anyone find any solution please update

Emergency Calls Only / No Data SIM - Three UK

Hello all,
I am having an intermittent but a strange signal problem with my wife's OnePlus X and I suspect that this is some sort of software issue with the modem firmware and not a hardware fault.
Basically if you reboot the phone, 9 times out of 10 there will be absolutely no signal whatsoever on the 3 UK network, the phone will just state emergency calls only. This happens on both 3G and 4G, but we usually have 4G turned off as there are not many areas within our region that support 4G yet. If you search Available Networks 3 doesn't show up.
Usually leaving the phone for hours the signal will come back, but sometimes it can be fixed by going into the Test Menu by putting *#*#4636#*#* into the dialer and going to Phone Information -> Toggling the Radio off and On a few times, but this doesn’t work every time. My phone is also on the Three network, so I have tried putting both SIMS's in the OnePlus X at the same time and the same issue occurs in both SIM Slots. If I put a Vodafone SIM in as well as the Three SIM, the Vodafone SIM works absolutely fine, regardless of the SIM slot it goes in, but it maintains a signal each time. The problem isn’t signal in the area as we have full signal in our house. If I put my wife's SIM into my LG G4 it works absolutely fine 100% of the time.
Three will not help us as the phone isn’t supplied by them, this is getting to the point now where this phone is becoming unreliable to use because if you have to reboot, chances are you won't have any signal for hours on end.
This happens on OOS and CM13 and has done for months.
Has anyone come across this issue before?
Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this?
All these views and no replies
I have the same problem and solution is nowhere to be found...
Did you find any solution to this? I've got this problem with my OPX.

My wife ended up getting rid of the phone a few months ago, she couldnt put up with it any longer as it was just the same. I don't think it was a hardware fault with the phone as it worked fine on any other network but Three. The phone supported all the frequencies that Three offers, so I have no idea why it didnt work right but certainly something wasn't right.

When I had recently visited the UK, I had trouble connecting to the Three as well(through my home SIM as International Roaming). It didn't work so I ended up buying an O2 SIM that worked just fine.
I fixed it by putting some scotch tape over the back of the sim card, My OPX is almost 2 years old and the sim card is not in good contact with the phone inside I think.

Mobile Network problems with Le Max 2 - 6GB / 128 GB

Hello, I have got a Le Max 2 with 6 GB / 128 GB (used, no warranty). Got it with ROM EUI 5.8.019S.
I have severe mobile network problems. I live in Dusseldorf, Germany, where LTE/4G (vodafone) never was a problem. The Le Max 2 shows 4G, often H or E or no service. Very rarely I get up to 15.000 kbit/s, but more often I get nothing. I tried with new APN, both SIM slots, vodafone and O2-SIM cards, reset to factory and finally i changed to Madsurfer ROM which works fine but does not change the network problem.
I don't know much about mobile network management but it seems like something is going wrong there. When my phone can not work with 4G it does not fallback to 3G or 2G but is completely offline.
Is it possible to flash a different modem?

There is description here how to check bands. Maybe you have US bands? There is also newest version of ROM 5.9 21s
If I help you please express it.
Do you mean the post about activating LTE / 3G bands? I tried this and it improved a little but only for a while (maybe random coincidence) and now it seems to be even worse. I flashed several roms with twrp but there was no improvement.
I found out that the modem settings are stored in special small partitions like modemst1 / -2 and you can erase them with fastboot. There exist some post about other phones where it helped to erase them and after a reboot they are created new (from other backup partitions) but I hesitate before I have further information - though I think I can not destroy more.

The modem files are changed by original roms.
Cooked roms do not change modem files.
so, try to install a original rom, like indian o chinese...
Try with the Indian ROM.
I flashed indian and chinese stock (with full wipe each time), did not help. Tried also madsurfer, TeamSpain Revolution and now Rom V6-X820 of Bshuy2003.
I still get network, internet works, after a while I can't download anything and often lose network completely or get E(DGE) though LTE signal should be good even inside building (in Düsseldorf) where I am testing. My Note 4 gets 4G all the time with no problem. I do not only have that problem in buildings though. Net is unreliable even outside. Works and then stops working after a while.
I installed LTE Discovery and found out: The Phone connects to LTE band 20 station, RSRP from -70 to -90 dBm (which is good), I can download at reasonable speeds (not very good though), after a while it connects to LTE band 3 or 7 stations with bad RSRP (above -100 dBm, often -115 dBm) and I can't download anything (My Note 4 can even with about same RSRP). Often it then moves to (E)DGE. If I restrict the Phone to 3G sometimes I get H or H+ (HSPA) but no good connection. Often carrier is lost completely. Sometimes LTE Discovery app states "Potential eCSFB issue detected", maybe there is a problem with the Fallback management.
It would work if the Phone did not change vom LTE band 20 to 3 or 7 stations.
I found this in CatLog, could it be related to the problem?
12-03 08:47:15.618 I/NetworkController.MobileSignalController(slotId:0 subId:1)( 2434): onServiceStateChanged voiceState=0 dataState=1 dataNetType = 0 servicestate:0 1 voice home data home Vodafone.de Vodafone 26202 Vodafone.de Vodafone 26202 GSM Unknown CSS supported -1 -1 RoamInd=-1 DefRoamInd=-1 EmergOnly=false IsDataRoamingFromRegistration=false

There were also entries with "LTE or EDGE Unknown CSS supported -1 ...."
I also faced the same problem with brand new Indian X821. Mobile signal very weak or not signal at all. No amount of flashing stock or custom ROM fixed the problem. Flashing new or old NOH-HLOS.bin doesn't help. Other than this, there is no problem at all with the phone.
Any help is appreciated.
any update on this?

I didn't face such issue. Probably hardware problem?
Guys, check out this page for all x820 modem, hope it's help!

Flash it with twrp and reboot.
I have a 4GB X820 and use USA AT&T. After recovering my phone from a hard brick using FlashOne, my cell data (voice would still work) would never come back up after switching out of airplane mode, and I'd have to reboot to get it to work again. Also at times, I would be in my house and would watch my signal go from full bars to one or none, every several seconds. I just flashed the 16s v.00024 modem in the USA folder from the link sky104hk posted and all is well so far.
For reference, my old modem was MPSS.TH.2.0.c1-00229-M8996FAAAANAZM-1 1
Thanks for the list of modems!
My phone no longer connects to the Tmobile network. It will connect to some towers and not others. Did tmobile push some sort of update? Many places I just get no service. I tried flashing the 26s radio, but still no dice. Or is the cell modem in my phone broke?

dix you checking your APN settings?
Also *#*#4636*#*# and inside phone sim1 check to see select network LTE/GSM..
Give it a shot

My old APN had connection but it was not good so I updated and it was better.. but it's just my provider.
I suggest you to flash another modem to see if that helps

Hello and thank you for your work. I have an X829 and I want to use it with European frequencies including the B20. What version of modem should I flash. Because I don't read Russian. Thanks
None of them. X829 does not support B20 so you will get LTE only in areas with B3 coverage. X820 supports both of them.

Final solution
Dear siijii, I have the same problem.have you find a solution? Thanks
Hi,
Thanks for sharing Modem files.
I just got X820 but for some reason it is not connecting to LTE Band 20.
The ROM it came with is 5.8.019S
The questions are:
1) Is there any hardware difference between International version and Chinese version?
2) can i flash Chinese ROM on my x820 (my mobile has CE0560 written on back cover, so i assume it is international version)
3) When selecting *#*#4636*#*# >> select radio band >> "set GSM/UMTS band" list is empty, so do you think i need to flash modem to get European band profile here?
4) Which modem file should i flash for band 20, the Modem directory i downloaded from your link, has Russian language directory name.s If i use Google translate i can see the directory name with modem files are "For developers" , India, China, Russia & USA. No modem file for Europe which has Band 20 enabled?
Thanks in advance.
Take a look at the backside of your X2. If there is a branding in the downside of it, it isnt a X820. Got the same problem, bought a X820 and became a X829. Luckily, I got B3 here working.

Problem: Network signal unstable/weak

Hello all,
I do have the following problem which is not new and mentioned in other threads but there is no solution and the threads are quiet old - so I hope it is OK to start a new one:
My LeMax2 is constantly dropping the network signal and the signal is in general very weak (I can only get calls outside, Internet is working irregular "sometimes", outside only. After arrival signal was fine. No difference. Flashed a couple of different custom roms, still fine. Ended up using SmallEUI. After a while (maybe two weeks) signal dropping began. What I tried so far:
- Flashed alternate modem file from SmallEUI, no difference.
- Switched rom back to india20s. Problem stayed the same. -
- Switched to LOS13 (which is still running).
- Entered *#*#4636#*#* switched and set GSM/UMTS band to automatic. Problem got worse.
- flashed various modem files, no difference
- renewed APN settings. No difference.
- Found about 4 threats regarding this problem, can not find a solution. This is exactly my problem: https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/help/mobile-network-problems-le-max-2-6gb-t3507500
Help? Please? What can I do now?

Have you looked into your carrier? Maybe it's not a device problem..... Try a signal app to see if your connecting to the right bands, getting a good enough signal ....
Have you tried a factory reset?
When I was with T-Mobile they cut service in my area without letting customers know, I ended up buying a signal amplifier for my house to finish out my contract.

Hey,
thank you for your reply. I put the SIM card into another phone and it worked like a charm. So I think it is not the carrier. Rechecked the APN settings also. Regarding the LTE band I am not sure. Most of the time I only get a H+ connection so no LTE band at all. Thing is: The connection was really good with this phone in the beginning.
Factory reset: Yes, and even more (flashed 6 different roms I think and various modems)
Best,
TOM
x829 no signal
i lived in ireland i have x829 from banggood i don't have networking signal strange when i when battery is 0% turn off phone after Charge the battery signal come back for few minutes after again disappear
I have the same problem. I am living in India, and the signal drop is very frequent.
Earlier i only used to get H+, but from few days i get the LTE band but the signal fluctuates almost every second and very unstable - especially the data. The whole mobile network keeps dropping also frequently. Been a pain in the but*
Using RR v5.8 official
This thing solved the LTE stability problem for me:
Type *#*#4636#*#* on the dialer
select phone info
Click the menu on top right on action bar
Select radio band and select band 43
I get decent speeds with some sudden boosts from time to time. PS I am using Airtel in India.
I have the same problem. I am living in sri lanka, and the signal drop is very frequency The whole mobile network keeps dropping also frequently. Been a pain in the but*
i wish to get updates on this problem, cause this is a pain. tried every method mentioned. tried different new roms (rr, LOS, Eui, stock 26s and 21s roms)
Maybe someone has solutions?

Hey, did you have success in resolving the issue?
I had problems too with my le s3 x626, it didn't recognize the sim card anymore, froze, and had to force reboot. Luckily, it was a battery issue. For some reason when the phone goes under 10%, it does that. Easily solved upon charging (happened more than once).
Same issue in the philippines
Heyyo, I'd recommend looking into AEX as @shivatejapeddi recently made a bunch of changes for VoLTE and carrier settings that might help.
Otherwise? It could be your carrier might need further apn and carrier configuration changes in order to work at least on custom ROMs.
Another thing to try? Replacing your /system/etc/apns-conf.xml with this one from the Pixel 2 XL. Download it > reboot to TWRP > mount system > make a copy of that /system/etc/apns-conf.xml somewhere as a backup > replace the /system/etc/apns-conf.xml with the one downloaded > reboot to system > reset apn configuration to defaults to force ROM to reload apns-conf.xml

Ok this is super weird but the Leeco Le Max pro I used had the same issue. BUT. When I'd switch on the hotspot, and let someone connect to my Leeco, they get unrestricted LTE speeds. I cannot use my phone data plan but others can using my wifi So. I don't know exactly what's the issue. All those with this issue do check their hotspot capabilities. Thank you.

tried everything, the last one to do for me is REWRITE IMEI on the phone, i noted a strange IMEI=0 or some difficult in reading it (x526 from myefox.it)
Dialing *#*#4636#*#*
Hi devrookie,
I did it as you mentioned in your comment above...didnt worked
Selected radio band...there is no option of 43 infact there is nothing to select...
anyone got this resolved guys? i just bought two leeco x520 phones and both have the same issue. wifi keeps dropping over and again every 10 seconds or so. It's like a loop........ drop .. reconnect .. drop .. reconnect .. and so on. tried two roms so far, currently on lineage os 16.0 and have the same issue on this rom too. on top of the connectivity problem, a new problem has came up .. the phone shuts down while playing games which is super annoying. and the phone heats up a lot while recharging the battery. i'm so fed up

My Mido is not receiving 3G/4G/LTE signal

Recently I'm having an issue with my Mido, it isn't receiving any 3G/4G/LTE signal. Sometimes it is, but I can't connect to mobile data, and the signal will just disappear again. A few things that I need to point out:
1. IMEI, WiFi MAC address, and Baseband are all intact.
2. Tried flashing firmware from latest Global Dev (8.12.20) and latest Global Stable (10.1.1.0), no luck.
3. Tried flashing full Global Dev Fastboot ROM (8.12.20), no luck. I even tried flashing persist.img from said ROM, no luck.
4. Setting the network type in network settings to GSM Only, it's only receiving 2G signal, and I can connect to EDGE only. Set it to LTE Only, the signal is lost.
5. SIM slots are both good, both can read my SIM cards normally, though I only use one SIM at a time.
So, I have a few assumption:
1. Cable signal might be damaged. But I can still receive 2G signal, so I guess this is invalid.
2. Firmware might be corrupted. But like I said in point no. 2 above, tried flashing two different firmware versions, didn't work. So I guess this is invalid.
3. Motherboard might have a little water damage. But I don't see any suspicious water stain or anything on the surface, but I do see some pink on the water damage indicator above the SIM slots, but it's only a little. But I still think this is valid, since my phone would get warm/hot randomly when not in use. It even gets warm when I leave it off while sleeping. And the battery drains faster when it's hot. I suspect this is because the phone is struggling to find signal, but it also happens when the phone is turned off.
I really need to find a solution before I'll have to bring my phone to a service center. I'll update when I can and when I remember any other details.
Have the same problem tried flashing all types of custom and official roms but no help.
