So I gave this phone to my mother a while back. It was working fine for a while, but when she said it was slowing down a little I decided to update her rom to something a little newer.

She was previously on a 4.1 version of AOKP, about a month or so ago, I updated to the newest 4.2 version of AOKP.

When I did this, she started having problems with her mobile data going out. She works in an area with bad service, and she would leave work and go to make a call, and she would get a mobile network unavailable error message and the phone would be unusable until she rebooted. This would happen about once every 1 or 2 days. It was especially annoying because if people tried to reach her - they wouldnt even get a ring on their end.

Another thing I noticed is that her phone memory is completely full even though there is barely anything installed. I put just the essentials on there, and she doesn't install anything. Heres what her phone looks like:



No idea what happened or why its doing this. (the storage issue)

As for the mobile network going out - I have had this problem in the past, and im not sure how I solved it other than just keep flashing roms. Could it possibly be a wrong radio flashed? We're located in CT, US if any specific radio is recommended.

I should also point out - After flashing to 4.2 AOKP and seeing these issues - i flashed to slim beans newest rom - and the same exact issues kept happening.

Please let me know anything I can do to try and fix this. Id like to do it as quickly as possible since I dont live with my mother - so i dont have a lot of time to mess around with her phone - she just needs something that works.

about the space issue, there are 2 solutions. you can simply flash another rom ( i took this one since i feel like stock is too clunky). or you have o be rooted, and then you have to go into terminal and do some things, keep looking around it's some thread with a link.

as for the signal issue, modem uck666 (or something like that, it has 'k's and '6's) worked for me.
