New screen, now cant make calls
#1
Hi all;

I dropped my phone a while back, I got a replacement screen and installed it myself. First time on any phone...
I put it back together and the modem doesn't appear to be working, have reinstalled mobian, I have signal strength, but not registered on the network. Everything else seems to work WiFi is good.
Have tried different sim card, no change, sim works on other phone.
Is there anything I can do to narrow the fault down to software or hardware ?

I guess I must have stuffed the main board somehow when I pulled it apart, but it would be good if I could confirm it.

Thanks

If you are showing signal bars double check your carrier and APN settings. They may have changed and you lost voLTE because of the change.

Im starting to think your right, maybe it was just a coincidence wit hme changing the screen, and its software related.

The previous sim i tried was from the same network provider, so it probably wasnt a good test of the sim. I got a new sim today for a different network, it still doesnt see a network, but it has given me a new list of APNs to choose from, so something is going on, will treat it as software problem, and use command line to find an error message...

Thanks for your reply.
