[Q] Disconnects from mobile network several times per day topic

Hi guys, i know this is a common problem, but i have yet to find a solution to it. My S4 (Bell Canada, KOT49H.I337MVLUFNI2, completely stock unrooted) will drop the mobile network (both voice & data), and the only way to get reconnected to Bell is by rebooting my device. After a reboot I might be good for a few hours or for a few days but it always happens again. At first the mobile signal will grey out, then eventually turn to a circle with a line through it. In the network mode setting becomes blank and non-selectable.

Suggestions around the web include selecting WCDMA only, clearing the cache, factory resets, and reflash the full firmware package with Kies3. Ive tried them all and the problem always inevitably returns.

Here are a few links to people with similar problems, but nobody seems to have a solution in any of these threads either:

Other than returning it for a replacement under warranty, does anybody have any other suggestions to fix this? Thanks.

[Q] Just bought a used G3, several questions? topic

I need some info about a used Verizon g3 I purchased. Everything works fine, but I can't see where to check if the latest software is updated?
When I go to the phone info area, there's no tab to touch to check.

Does that mean this phone has been rooted? Excuse me.... I'm a newbie.... don't really know how to distinguish between rooted and non rooted.

How would I ever update the phone? Does Verizon do it automatically?

I'm grandfathered in with unlimited data and can tether freely with this phone, a surprise to me.
Would I compromise this with any Verizon updates?

Thx

[Q] Several questions topic

Hello fellow android users,

this is my first post on the xda forums as i am a new member with little experience on Android systems. The previous 5 years i was an iPhone owner and power user up until this Christmas that i decided to change the platform and switch to Android. Up until now i am much more satisfied with the openness of the android system comparing with iOS (even if jailbreaked).

I have purchased an LG G2 D802 and i have Rooted it already and installed TWRP custom recovery, i have created a nandroid backup, installed a couple of mods from this forums. I would like to personally thank all the developers for their hard work and support to new users like me!

However, like every new user, i have a couple of questions that i will like some help with but before i begin let me give you some more info about my device as it will help you give more specific answers:

Device: LG G2 D802 (International)
ROM: Stock LG ROM (i think it's called Cloudy)
Custom recovery installed: TWRP
Exrta MODS installed: SplitWindowMOD

Questions:
1) It seems that connecting my device to my windows 7 computer and copying music to "Music" folder, requires a phone reboot in order that the mp3s will show up on the device. I didn't notice if this was happening even before i root my device. Could you please let me know if there is a way to force the phone to refresh the music library (without reboot)?

2) I have the 16GB version of G2 and a Nandroid backup wastes about 2.5 GB of the 10 free that the device has. For that reason, i do a backup and then i copy it to my computer and of course delete it from my device. My question here is if in the worst case scenario that android does not boot and therefore not recognized by the computer, how is it possible to insert the backup back to the phone?

3)Is there any repository with all these MODs from XDA? Something like the jailbreak app Cydia on iOS?

That's it for the moment! Thank you very much for your answers in advance!
