[Q] i9505 only getting G/E in mobile data indicator - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys im a new android user. i bought my i9505 galaxy s4 3 weeks ago and everything is working perfectly except the mobile data. i can only connect to E/G signals with it (which doesnt really do anything because i cant even check emails). its on LTE/3G/WCDMA/GSM(automatically) setting and the APN is the correct settings with the carrier in my country(philippines). i tried my sim on a different i9505 phone and it was able to connect to 4g so i guess the carrier/sim being the problem is ruled out. i have restored to factory settings/rebooted multiple times and am still unsuccessful. the phone's IMEI is not blacklisted or banned and it is intact(dont really know what that means but it shows a long series of numbers and im not really sure its safe to post it here). My carrier also supports the frequencies listed on what the phone has. i have not installed any custom firmwares and have not re installed any official releases.
i would really appreciate it if someone can help me fix this problem. could it be a software problem or a hardware problem(praying it isn't)?
my phone specs are
GT-i9505 samsung galaxy s4

The phone came with loads of bloatware and i was trying to remove it with titanium backup to no avail. I am a noob so i dont have any backups nandroid or otherwise. was running creeds rom except the headphone jack was not working. I tried to switch to hyperion 7 but this bricked the phone so i had to use one of docky's rom to flash it. I wwas able to get the phone working once more however no more hspa. because i voided the warranty and i cant find my receipt because i didnt foresee this i am literally screwed. is there is a hspa fix ?

mae sure ur apn setting are correct;;
It is I don't know if I broke my phone
Sent from my GT-S5360L using xda app-developers app
You probably didn't break it.
Make sure you're in a 4G area first off.
Now follow these steps,
1. Go to the Dialer
2. Type *#*#4636#*#*
3. This will lead to a secret testing menu, click on the first option.
4. Scroll down and there will be a Network Type, and click on that and change it to WCDMA only
5. If you do have a 4G signal, you should be connecting.
Hope that helps!
If that doesn't help, then i suggest following a guide so you can flash the stock rom and unroot and relock the bootloader.
Then you can send it in to the company, and they will never know.

[Q] New N900 has bad signal and "your device has been modified" update error

[Q] New N900 has bad signal and "your device has been modified" update error
Hello forum,
I am in the UK using a Virgin sim and my girlfriend bought this phone new in china and flew it over to me. At the moment the signal is really bad wherever I go (the same SIM card in my old galaxy nexus had great signal in all these places) so I was wondering if there was any way to make the signal better?
Also I tried to do an update through the settings menu hoping this would sort out the signal problem and it is giving me the "your device has been modified. no updates available for this device." error even though the phone is new.
the information about the device is as follows:
when I type *#1234# I get:
AP: N900ZSUBMI5
CP:N900XXUBMI2
CSC:N900OZSBMI2
In my "about device" within settings, the following is given:
Model number: SM-N900
Android version: 4.3
Baseband version: N900XXUBMI2
Kernel version: 3.4.39-1625296

Build number: JSS15J.N900ZSUBMI5
SELinux status: Enforcing
If I reboot to recover it opens:
CWM-based Recovery v6.0.4.5
Compiled by Xiaolu(20131121)
When I try to check knox I cant see it (I go into odin mode and the top left just says the following):
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
(I now understand the N900 doesn't have knox)
Thanks for looking, any feedback at all would be much appreciated :good:

Well it looks great. At least I can be sure that your phone shouldn't be a fake. It is of Hong Kong or Taiwan origin, Exynos, running 4.3 on N900ZSUBMI5.
You have CWM Recovery, Xiaolu's port of it. Hence that device was probably rooted prior to getting it handed over to your girlfriend. KNOX is only present on the MJ and onward firmwares, and you happen to be on an MI firmware so you don't have it activated yet.
Check the section for Network/Bearer and Wireless Connectivity on this link: http://www.samsung.com/levant/consumer/mobile-phones/mobile-phones/galaxy-note/SM-N9000ZKEXSG-spec
Match it up with your country's network specifications. There's a reason why these phones don't get sold worldwide, as they aren't all compatible with every region. Also remember to set correct APN values for your country.

okay thanks for your reply, I believe the frequencies virgin use are 1800MHz and 2100MHz which can both be used with this phone. The APN settings were downloaded automatically when the phone was first booted and I also manually checked them and they are correct.

What is your network switch options in Settings?
Do you have it to HSPA/GSM (auto connect) set? [Sorry if it's not exactly the same, I don't have the N900 model]
My friend pointed this out to me just before I saw your message, the options available are only wcdma/gsm hspa isn't an option. Im guessing from my limited knowledge that this is the problem, what is it I would need to do to fix this? thanks again.

Actually, I asked my friend who has the N900, he's reporting the same as you. So no problem in that.
There must be something else that can be isolated to find what's going on. You can try to upgrade the phone to the latest modem by flashing the latest 4.4.2 ROM.
Okay, what would be the best way to flash the latest ROM? Would this be a custom ROM or is there a way to get the official one? Thanks again.
Edit: I have now tried putting Dr Ketans rom on it, telling it to use the ROMs modem, and that still didnt fix the problem. I have also tried flashing some other modems from the GSM modems collection thread but the problems persist. The symptoms are as follows:
Frequently looses signal
only ever shows the E or G symbol for mobile internet connection (whereas on my other phone with the same sim it instantly gets full signal and shows H+ or 3G)
the phone has also never been able to lock onto a GPS location it only ever shows searching for GPS in the notifications bar.

No data on Motorola Milestone 3 XT861

Hi everybody,
first of all, I looked all over this forum and also I googled a lot but I was not able to find a solution to my problem. I know that this is an older phone, but it is the one I want because of the keyboard and build. So please do not tell me to buy something newer. So here it is:
I bought a brand new Motorola Milestone 3 in United States (originaly Alltel) and I unlocked it for GMS network with unlock code.
I want to use it in Slovakia, Europe on O2 - SK network. I can make calls, receive calls, send texts, receive texts but I can not get the data service to work.
I tried configuration texts from service provider, I tried to manualy set the APN, none of it worked.
Under Settings - Battery and Data manager - Data Delivery I have both Background data and Data enabled checked.
I managed to root it with KINGOROOT. Before I start playing with custom ROMs to get the data to work, I would like to try to get it to work on stock ROM. I do not mind staying with Android 2.3.6
Details about the phone:
System version: 5.8.25.XT861.ACG.en.US
Model number: MILESTONE3
Android version: 2.3.6
Baseband version: N_03.18.37P
Kernel version: [email protected] #1
Build number: 5.5.1.1-84_D3G-25
Please if ALLTEL has some hidden settings for data access preventing me from getting my O2-SK data access, let me know if there is a trick how to change them or delete them or to do something with it. I really like this phone and I will be very glad if I will be able to use it with data as well. Not only calls and texts.
Things I think might work but need confirmation:
- installing ROM from Motorola DROID 3 XT862 from Verizon wireless
- installing ROM from Motorola DROID 3 XT860
- installing ROM from Motorola DROID 3 XT883 from Chinese operator.
So please if you know anything about solving this issue, let me know.
Have a nice day and thank you for your reply.

Rooted Galaxy Note 4 N9108v only connects to 2g network after root

EDIT: I am also experiencing Connection Problem or Invalid MMI Code
and cannot top up my phone account.
I have a Chinese version of Galaxy note 4 as I live in Beijing.
Model number: SM-N9108V
Android version 4.4.4
Processor: Snapdragon
I recently rooted my phone to get access to Gapps and the play store. After the root I noticed the phone is very slow when connecting over a data network.
The SIM card I am using with China Unicom is set for 4G.
Under Settings> more networks> Mobile networks > There is the option for network mode but it is grayed out and is selected as 2G only. I can not select it or change it. Has anyone had any problems with this or any solutions? Thanks in advance.
