Ive got my nexus 4 2 weeks ago and everything wast just fine.... one day like everyday i plugged my phone to the wall charger before I went to sleep, when I woke up the next day the phone had no signal at all no 3g, no EDGE, no nothing... I read that the problem was caused by a bug on the 4.3 android (the one that I was running)... I decided to flash the paranoid android 3.99 with the radio that appears at the official PA post and it didnt worked... then I flashed the Cyanogenmod 10.1 that its supposed to be based on android 4.2.2 (and has the working radio version) and it doesnt work either...

Do you have a different micro sim around? Try putting it in the phone. If ot works, then change your current sim.

If I may chime in. Do you have an empty triangle, where the reception bars would be? If so you may have a hardware problem. Long story short my first Galaxy Nexus broke on me in the way I just described.

The only thing you could do is flash the factory images. If those don't work, then it may be hardware related (sim or phone).

Data drops.....

Is anyone else having major data drops? Mine is happening like 3x a day now! Very annoying. It has nothing to do with airplane mode. All of a sudden I will see my 3G signal leave, then there's a small x near my status bars then the x will go away but the 3G signal will not come back unless I reboot. When I reboot, my battery level drops all the way to where I need to connect my charger to keep it on.
This started happening about 5 days ago. Never an issue before that. Started happening after I flashed Trigger v1.5 rom. Went back to Bionix V and it's still happening. Wiped, Wiped, reflashed, wiped, wiped reflashed...still an issue.
Any help is appreciated!
You might try flashing a different modem.

That just may be the problem. Its happening now like every hour. Forgot about that. It happened to me once before. years ago. Forgot, but can I just go into T-mo and get a new sim?
yes..you can tell them whats happening..minus the ROM flashin part..and they will get you a new SIM

[Q] Nexus One reboot when using 3g

hello guys I have a nexus with one gingerbread 2.3.4 and when I use the 3G network after 2-3 minutes the phone restarts. with this bug I can not use Internet
any ideas? Thanks!
Yes. Me to.
What ROM and/or kernel combo you guys using?
I have the stock rom ota gingerbread 2.3.4, nothing changed, full stock. I recently tried miui 1.5.20 the problem is the same. may be a hardware problem?
Does the phone get hot to the touch on the back? Does the phone still reboot if you turn off 3g data and you go exclusivly Wifi?
Had the same issue with my old Nexus 1. Called HTC support and they immediately said it was a defective board. RMA'd and got refurb, but at least it does not reboot when I use 3g.
Good luck.
thanks jhsiao36, think if I update the radio version 5.12.00.08 can change something or brought it in for service?

I didn't help for me. I tried the 5.12.00.08 radio and it suffered from the same 3g reboots. But when I disabled 3g and used Wifi, never suffered from reboots.
If the phone is still under warranty, definitely encourage you to call them. HTC's customer and tech support is the best I've ever seen. They replaced it no questions asked, even though my phone is rooted and bootloader unlocked.

+1 They are awesome to deal with. It really makes me sad that they are starting to lock down their phones, because I won't buy a phone if I can't run custom ROMs on it.
But with the radio, I highly doubt flashing to 5.12 would help. Google released the 5.08 radio with the OTA update to Gingerbread. If 5.12 was any better, I'm sure they would've included it. There had to have been a reason they stuck with 5.08.
If you aren't afraid of losing anything, or already made backups, you could try the passimg method of giving you a completely stock install. See if the problem occurs with that as well. This would rule out software vs hardware.
No one can really solve it?

I really don't think it can be resolve without sending it back to HTC for a replace/repair. As I said in my previous posts, I've tried 3 different ROMs - stock, cyanogenmod 6 and 7 - all exhibit the same issue - reboot when on 3g, but perfect if on Wifi. And yes, it will reboot even on a freshly install ROM (no apps installed).
HTC knows of this issue and they will replace/repair. I got a refurb and it works perfectly - stock, cyanogenmod 6 or 7.
Sorry, probably not the answer you wanted to hear, but search on <insert your favorite search engine> and you will find that this is a fairly widespread problem.
Thank you for your answer! It does not work, had sent a factory repair.
After several tests, on Monday I sent the phone in for service. I think it's a hardware problem, maybe a bad batch of motherboards.
my S / N: HT05... and your?
I will tell you just back from assistance.
Did you ever overheat it? I believe that the N1 has a problem if you really push it that it can overheat. Once it happens once it will happen again and every time it takes less and less to cause the reboot. Eventually it reboots just with 3G.
I was running mine in the car-mount with GPS, Google Maps (3G), screen on brightest, on a hot summer day while charging ... and it rebooted. Didn't think much of it but then it started rebooting every time I used GPS and charging.
In the end it was pretty near useless ... rebooting all the time. I sent it in twice (the first time they couldn't reproduce the problem) and the second time they replaced the board. Problem solved.
Now I am very careful not to overheat it.

Weirdest issue ever

If someone can find a solution to this, seriously, you're a master.
I was running CM build from the 6 January (stock kernel). And suddenly, during the afternoon, my data started to be slow.
Here I have a contract for 7.2mbps. I'm usually arround 6.5-7.2mpbs. Never really goes down 5mbps. So I ran a speed test. I was at 0.1mbps. I thought "this should be a little problem, nothing to worry about". I was wrong, so wrong. After that I flashed the CM build from today.
Hours later, after many speedtest, I was still at 0.1mbps and I started to think that this is really weird. So I phoned to my network and they told me there's no network problem at all where I live (should be true, no friends asked me about this).
So, obviously, I flashed another ROM, AOKP. Still ultra slow data. I flashed Paranoid Android, still super slow data.
I took off my SIM carte and I put it on my old HTC Sensation. Guess what, data was working perfectly. At this point I started to get crazy lol.
Maybe some corrupted data ? Let's flash the factory.img
I flashed via fastboot the factory.img, ran a speed test.... STILL SUPER SLOW DATA.
I should add that we don't have any data-cap here (and the Sensation proved it).
I thought, maybe the 3G is hardware broken ? No. I'm still seeing H+ and 3G on my status bar. More weird stuff ? alright ! Ping is excellent (about 40ms) and upload speed... is like it always been, arround 1mbps (that's the number in my contract too).
So now, i'm completely lost (and tired, it's 2am).
If someone, whatever the idea is, could help me, it would be awesome.
Fix permissions? And make sure your APN looks good

Check your APN.
This happened to me for about a week soon after I got my N4. The problem went away on its own. I chalked it up to the network.

Have you tried a different speed testing app? You might have noticed that the app isn't really that good.

Good idea too, but already tried 3 and they all gave me the same result.
Do you guys think it's hardware ?
Try re-registering onto your mobile network. Or try registering manually instead.
I had a weird issue where my phone would switch to cdma on its own. try *#*#4636#*#* and playing around with settings there.
Try flashing back stock and factory reset.
Make sure your sim card tray is fully inserted.
Pray to the HSDPA Gods to give you your speed back.
Remove your tin foil case from your phone.
You're holding it wrong. Hold it in a different way.
Have you tried installing iOS on it?
wooooooooo!!!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
If you've flashed other roms, then it's obviously not a software issue, maybe there's work on your local mast. Is the speed difference only in the speedtest app, or do you notice it in normal usage?
So later yesterday I called the customer service. They confirmed that they have no network issue at all.
It started at 16:00 pm and yesterday night, at 3:00 am (when I was about to sleep, finally ) still ultra slow data speed.
I woke up this morning at 7:00 am, tried again a test, still slow data speed.
So I went to my office, I was in at 8:00 am and I ran a test again and... BOOM ! 6.8mbps ! And it works now without any problem.
Morality : Don't miss work. lol
But to be honnest, I really don't understand what happened. I have no clue what this can be. Anyway, it works now and I hope it won't happen again.
Btw, big thanks to everyone who answered, we have some great people here

[Q] My i9505 did shutdown by himself should I worry?

Hello my four days old Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 did a shutdown al by himself overnight while charging. Because of this my alarm didn't go off. All I needed to do is a normal boot and the phone worked fine, but I don't think its normal!
Should I worry? Is there maybe a log that I can look at to see what happened during the night? I suppose this isn't normal behavior? Someone else had this issue?
It's my first android phone, I always had an iPhone (3G, 3GS, 4, 4s and 5) never had this kind of issue. My wife also has a galaxy S4 and that one is working fine. At this moment it only happened ones so maybe it could be a coincedence?
Some android phones do that from time to time... Wait for an update... Maybe it will disappear.. If not then try another firmware

I did flash the official firmware for dutch i9505 throught ODIN. But that's what I also did to my wifes i9505. I will monitor the phone and see if its going to be more often.
Thanks for you're reply.

i surely hope it is a one off... but i had same issue.. (i dont care about warranty) but i flashed cwm and wiped ALL (including system) and then flashed a stock rom with ODIN... no problems anymore but lets see what the updates and such will bring for you
Up until now no automatic shutdown. I'm really waiting for a good ROM like cm10.1. When that happens I will flash CWM.
Omega looks really good maybe I will try that tomorrow.
I'm having the exact same problem. Got my S4 May 1st and had these overnight charging shutdowns about 3-4 times since then. Quite annoying, specially when you' re using the alarm (which fortunately I don't).
Hope a future update will solve this soon....

Softbricked T-Mobile SM-G935T

I was updating some apps from the playstore and decided to check my voice mail by holding the 1 key in the dialer, but then my phone rebooted. Now, it won't boot past the TMO screen no matter what I do. I've tried wiping cache in recovery, and everything but a factory reset because I have a pin/fingerprint set up. I've heard that it will lock you out of your phone for 3 days if you factory reset from MM for security reasons, hence why I haven't done it. I can't find the firmware to sideload for the T-Mobile variant, can someone shed some light on this issue? It's rather annoying to have it softbrick for no reason, and not have the firmware to fix it. If someone has the firmware that would be great, or if they know how to fix it.
you can bypass FRP(the lock after reset). ive done this with about 5 s6 edges. I just bypassed one last night. i would assume it prolly works with the s7 edge also.

This happened to a lot of s6edge+ users in the beginning.
Still no idea what was causing it. Updates seen to have cleared it, however, every s6edge+ reboots/freezes at launch one in a while.

That sucks is it the gen 1 or 2? Moto support went downhill after I bought my Nexus 6 from back in 2014. I haven't bought a Moto product since then for that reason. Can you boot into this bootloader at all? I've flashed my Huawei watch before without an issue.

It is Gen1. It is fixable via ADB, with a proper connection rig but my improvised rig resulted in a fried USB port on one of my computers after a successful connection, so I just gave up. I may one day buy a Chinese connection rig (there are some nice ones for sale) but the investment is just not worth it, I will probably get a Gear S2 and be done with Motorola, forever.

I know this is a little off topic:
Motorola didn't make it easy due to their lack of pogo pins (even though most people don't like them). I'm not sure how it would fry a USB port, but anything can happen. I plugged my 6P into my Surface Pro 4's dock via an A-C cable and it windows said it was trying to pull to much current and shut off the port until I rebooted. Things happen for better or worse, but I prefer AW over Tizen due to the long term support, despite liking Samsung's rotating bezel.
