A strange network / SIM card issue: Switching to a German SIM card I've used without problem just 2-3 months ago, the phone shows no service. If I attempt to manually search for a network, I get the error:

"Couldn't find networks. Try again."

The German SIM works in another Android device just fine. I've verified the APN is correct. Switching back to the previous (Spanish) SIM I had in the device, it also works fine. So it's just this particular SIM card that is suddenly not able to connect or find any networks.

I tried enabling the IMS Features which switched to a Germany-specific modem (and rebooted), but this didn't help.

Anyone know why this might be happening? Do I need to try other modems?

Update: Appears to be working after first switching to 2G preferred.

Hello,

I have problems with BOTH latest versions of 17.1 and 18.1 (both latest: 20220929)
With 18.1 (installed with TWRP 3.5) I get it started and installed all my apps but when I start "Telegram" for instance, the app exits immediately. Also it tells me that "Google App" was killed many times in a row by a message.
So I tried oout 17.1 (installed with TWRP 3.3.1) but this is a total mess. After installation it doesn't even boot up and only restarts after the Sony logo and goes back to the recovery. First it showd that the checksum verification failed, so I installed it without the md5sum file but with the same result Also pretty weird is that the TWRP version doesn't remember the checkboxes I set. It wants to install its TWRP app and also always shows the warning message on the start screen.

Anyone of you have a hint, what to do in this case?

Hello
New release is planned soon?

Facing similiar connectivity issues, albeit with the LineageOS 20 release.

Has this been a one time fix for you and still works? I assume afterwards it could be set back to either 3/4/5G or LTE without crapping itself again, as 2G does not sound particularly reasonable for every day use.

if you do anymore apn updates to the rom. here is a new H2O wireless apn settings

Where do they come from? In the November builds I'm including many new APNs from LOS upstream but there they are different.

November updates are out: Again on GDrive as AFH doesn't work for uploading

And yes the network stuff is still sometimes an issue and might not be fixable. Hence the workaround to switch to 2G/3G and back to LTE.

Thanks for the update! The november security patch is actually really important, as it fixes a critical vulnerability to bypass the lockscreen on Android 10+ (read more here: https://techcrunch.com/2022/11/14/android-lock-screen-bypass-google-pixel/)

it was a brand new H2O sim card from best buy that i only used to show people the phone worked.

I'm running 18 for about a year now, and just updated to november update without issues. I have never had any connectivity issues. I do notice it connects slower after a reboot, like 15 seconds or so, but when it's there it just works fine. When I make a call while driving, it just roams along all cells without loosing connectivity. I have a Dutch 4G simcard (5G but XZ1c doesn't have that).

I have more issues with WiFi though, when I walk through the house and roam between different access points, it regularly refuses to reconnect. After a minute or two or so it will, but disabling wifi and re-enabling it reconnects immediately. My stock unmodded xz1c (or any other devices) don't have that issue.

I'm still so grateful for this rom, I simply wouldn't know which modern phone could replace the xz1c. I refuse a large phone...

Is the November update ready? I see the thread subject has changed, but I don't see a git tag yet.

I'm asking about the source repo, which is not always ready as soon as the binary build.

In latest build 18.1 when i try to explore "Android Data" folder on sd card i don't found classic apps folders,but strange files. It's normal?

Installed the November build (did a clean re-install starting from stock) and it works a charm. Thanks as ever for your work Flamefire

Good news: Working on a 19.1 build (as announced earlier because derf elot discontinued it) and keeping the goodies I added to my builds: UltraDim QS tile, Enhanced security, SafetyNet passing

Thats great news! I wonder how did you decide to add 19.1?

Morning @Flamefire

I've been trying to make a build based on your `lineage-18.1` branch. Building from the `v18.1-20221013` tag works fine. Building with the latest in the branch or with the `v18.1-202211115` tag fails with the following error: Any ideas how I can go about fixing my build?

Thanks

You didn't apply this patch: https://github.com/Flamefire/androi...eage-18.1/patches/fix-custom-apn-script.patch

In short: the script to merge APNs from LOS is broken leading to your error. I fixed it but it hasn't been approved upstream yet
