Salam Everyone,
I have Samsung galaxy s4 (i9505) firmware installed 4.4.2. I am having issues regarding 3G Connectivity/network.
Only GSM Network mode is working fine. when I change the Network mode from 'GSM/WCDMA' to 'WCDMA only' signals are gone. and message comes up

"No Service
Selected Network (Telenor PK) not available."

when is click the message, it goes to Available Networks option and start Searching after few minutes nothing happens. it searched nothing.. I tried automatically searching, nothing happened.
In my Area 3G is provided by Telenor.
I have also tried my sim to different mobile, 3G signals are coming in that mobile. Tried different networks sim same result.

Tried flashing same firmware version of different country but result is same, 3G signals not coming. tried flashing Modem file but no advantage gained. :(

any Solution for this issue? will grateful for the responses!! :)

P.S. set is rooted.

Cellphone should go into 3G mode when you change the band to WCDMA. Network Selection is not required. Maybe there is some Hardware flaw in your handset. You should ask on XDA for better support IMO.

Listen, if your phone is rooted PM me.
If not, then lets try Service Mode.
Service Mode codes don't usually work for some reason. But give it a try.
*#2263# is the Service Code to use. Dial it and the Service Mode menu should open. Select the WCDMA Band Selection thing.
Press WCDMA 2100
Press OK
Reboot (if you want).

IF not, then I know what the problem is.
I too have an I9505 right now and I also use Telenor 3G. The thing is, you've flashed a Lollipop FW but modem is still the old one.

What you need to do is find the I9500/I9505 modem thread on XDA, navigate to the I9505 section and flash I9505XXUHOB8 modem and bootloader.
I'm using it right now, there is a difference in signal strength.
Try it out and let me know how it goes. :)

I have rooted the lollipop firmware too.. and tried the code u given but code didn't work for me.
I also have flashed the latest modem and bootloader as u said, from [REF] GALAXY S4 (I9500/I9505) GSM / NON-HLOS - MODEM'S Collection (Odin/CWM/TWRP) - Post #0 - XDA Forums
but issue remains there.
u said "flash i9505XXUHOB8 modem" but I have I9505XXUHOB7 firmware installed right now so I flashed the modem and bootloader file acc. to my installed firmware. no positive result yet came by doing these. :( any other solution?

In about phone do you have a baseband?? Check it or try *1234# and check if its shows modem/baseband.

"Baseband Version" is written there, in ABOUT PHONE ... I thnk *1234# is no code for android cz it is not working for me. *#1234# is showing "AP , CP and CSC"

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.

    did you try setting up Google Payments? For UBL you may have to get it enabled for internet transactions, Naya should work without it!

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!
