[SOLVED] No phone network 16.04

@gnu-mobile said in No phone network 16.04:

Sorry, I was hoping the "gsm code" *#*#4636#*#* may open a network information app , as on other phones. As it seems to be widely reproducable, the best seems to be to write an issue report then.

Thanks for your help. I Will do that then.

@TheBird The same here, Pro 5, 16.04, RC channel. It displays "no network" for up to 10 seconds (sometimes only a few - that is why I didn't notice until today) and then I have network again.

So you mean what? Get used to a phone with a phone -app which is not relyable? Even not in the stable version ? Please be more specific with your answer. I hope I am misunderstanding.

@thebird @thebird No that is not what I am saying. These two items are related I think, and the second thread also explains the same issue. At the end if you read that far Flohack explains what is happening and why it could take sometime to fix and that great care is needed not to break the code.
If you want more info you could ask a question in tomorrows Q&A just use the link below

Very happy about that

I don't think (hope) so because my item is only in 16.04, the other item is in both.

Thanks for your answer. I'll have a look at that

@thebird Sometimes I had to switch on the Flight mode to get network back, so this is a bug I guess. It's happening right after I finish a call. Just no network and unable to receive or make a call at all. Now it's happening more often and takes longer to get back the network. Also on dual sim cards phones, the network manager can't make its mind which network to use, even when setting set to certain network as preferred. Never happened on 15.04. And if did, it was only for like a 1-2 seconds. Anyone filled the bug report on this??? Or, should I do it?

@stefano Please go ahead had a quick look #829 is closest but not the same. Double check I haven't missed it already being reported

rocky58 · 2 Sept 2018, 09:28

@thebird also me with my OPO have the same issue

Stefano · 2 Sept 2018, 16:59

@lakotaubp yeah, closest one, but not the same, probably unrelated.

Lakotaubp · 2 Sept 2018, 17:07

@stefano Ok then go ahead and report that bug.

Hi I am new to the forum and I have been having the same issue here on 16.04 stable with my nexus 5. It seems to always lose mobile cellular connection all the time. When I enter a car, go to the first floor of my house, etc.

It seems to only maintain connection in some areas like 2nd floor of my house. WiFi works perfectly.

-For info it doesn't lose connection on android and I have moved the sim to other phones and it works perfectly. Also I have personally restored this nexus 5 and cellular network is T mobile

Just wondering if anybody else has these issues.

Stefano · 29 Sept 2018, 06:41

@that_rin Yes, on mine N5 is the same, weak signal or loosing it.
It depends on carrier and/modem/radio firmware. I've had such an issue on 15.04 as well, so it's not because of rebase to 16.04.
I think N5 has some flaws in design from beginning. (battery life, power buttons, loosing mobile connection, wifi issues)
But on the other hand, it's not so terrible with the network, yes, it could be better, but it's manageble.

@that_rin This may help if you didn't have the latest Android firmware on the nexus when you moved to UBports https://forums.ubports.com/topic/815/howto-n5-update-baseband-firmware

Stefano · 29 Sept 2018, 08:36

@lakotaubp I had the latest Google firmware and also was on Lineage before, but still had the issues with wifi and modem

that_rin · 29 Sept 2018, 15:46

@lakotaubp I have also done that tutorial also got solid connection for about 10 minutes then same issue then proceeds to lose connection.

Dont really know what it could be.
