Help First my fm radio stopped working, now I can't use 3g data

carminec · May 14, 2012

I've had the LG optimus one for 18 months and this is my first problem.

Last week my FM radio app stopped working. The app would open but it couldn't find any radio channels. Now my phone won't let me use 3g data.

I can connect to the cell tower and I have full bars on my phone. I can send SMS and make phone calls. I've tried rebooting the phone and I've turned the data connection on/off a bunch.

I've just done a factory reset and my radio works again, but the 3g is still not working. I've tried using another sim card and I still cannot connect to 3g.

My phone is unlocked and rooted.

What should I do?

My sd card had been un-mounting itself randomly throughout the day too.

Are you non-rooted? Stock ROM?

carminec · May 16, 2012

I'm rooted with z4root and stock rom.

Which apps have you deleted so far?

carminec · May 16, 2012

I rooted it over a year ago and haven't had problems until now. But I deleted facebook, twitter, some apps from my carrier.

What CPU speed have you been running?
Are you sure you SD card is OK? A bad SD card can cause all sorts of problems similar to this.

carminec · May 16, 2012

The phones running at 600 mhz.

The problems with the sd card unmounting randomly have stopped since I reset the phone. Even if I run the phone with the sd card unmounted I still can't connect to 3g.

Under network settings it says:

Type:mobile[unknown]
state:connecting
extra:sp.telus.com
roaming:false
failover:false
isAvail:true

Telus is the original carrier. I have a different carrier now...could this be the issue? What is the 'extra' category?

it also says

reason: simloaded

Memory card gets unmounted sometimes. Which is your mem card? The stock one? Usually Class 4 cards of 8GB and above get unmounted sometimes, but the stock card never seems to unmount. You can try removing the memory card, cleaning the connectors with a clean card, placing it back.

My carrier does not allow me to use 3G unless I ask for it. In other words, they have to send me 3G settings for it to work. Maybe its something like that with your carrier? Try contacting them.

You need to contact this "different carrier".

I was just trying to affirm you response and let the OP see that you where not the only one that came to that conclusion.
