I recently bought an XDAIIi from ebay knowing that it was defective. The only defect is that there is no service. Apart from that it is working as a PDA perfectly doing the job that i got it for (SAT NAV). Now i starting thinking of the possible reasons that my phone has no service. So in order to check if the hardware of the phone is ok i tried to do a manual network search. When i clicked on the manual search i got an error message saying " Unable to read setting from the network. Try viewing settings later, or disconnect data connection and try again". Are there any ideas of what this message means and is there any way to actually fix it?
Note: I am running pug rom with the 02 stuff stipped.
Your Radio hardware is busted to the best of my knowledge ...
you should hard reset.
I managed to kill the service on my 2i once, I cocked up the registry somehow and as soon as I put my pin in it pretty much straight away showed the no service icon (the one with the exclamation mark) regardless of whether I then tapped on it and tried to get service.
Had to hard reset in the end and bingo the problem disappeared (as I suspected it would), but your problem sounds terminal.
are you sure it has not been blocked / black listed with uk networks.
typical reason for no service would be if it had been blocked?
Didn't think of that...
My alpine crashed while driving with tomtom today and I have exactly the same problem.
Looks like it hard reset time.
Got my ignito the other day and realised yesterday that I haven't received any texts. The girlfriend also asked why I hadn't replied to her messages, and when I tried to send a message it comes up with:
Your text cannot be sent, check service center address in settings

Have looked through the settings and cannot find anywhere where to input the service centre number for O2. Also tried t O2 and O2 service settings programs in the program list, and they have problems connecting to retrieve any settings. Also on the O2 customer forum other people don't seem to have this problem.
Also have called customer services and even they are a bit unaware and wern't even in the know that this phone had been released. The data service guy over there hasn't even got any settings to push to the phone and has gone off to look for some.
Any ideas ?
Edit: The technical guy talked me through going into strat->settings and the phone area, then clicking on services and the 'voice mail and text messages' then retriving the settings to get to the message centre number. But when i do this the error thrown up says:
Cannot read settings from the network, try viewing settings later or disconnect data connection and try again.

Tried taking out battery and a hard eset and nothing has helped. The only thin I have done to the phone is update to HARD-SPL but have not flashed a custom ROM yet. Could this be the problem at all, as I didn't test the SMS before updating this ?

Might not help but have you tried removing sim and replacing?

Ye the customer service guy got me to do that, and reset, but still the same. Just tried it again and still nothing. Will try my friends SIM card in the ignito to make sure it isn't my old SIM card.
Just managed to send an MMS to someone on the desk next to me at work, so just seems like MMS. Fiddling with different settings in the MMS, like gateway number ports etc, and MMS still works with a number of possible settings but no SMS.
Really hope I didn't screw it up with the HARD SPL, but will try other versions of that tonight.
Cleaned the SIM and nothing, plus a big thing I CAN RECEIVE TEXTS, but still can't send them. But in the phone settings area I can connect to the network for all the other options like call barring, caller ID, call forwarding, and call waiting, just not the voicemail and SMS option.
Lol comedy of errors.
start>settings>connections>advanced network
SMS Tab
there will be 4 possible settings here.
I sugest you try each of them, with a powercycle between each attempt just for good measure.
I had this on T-Mobile - the Sim didn't input the settings on install.
Go to phone > menu > options > services > voice and text settings and click get settings, you can try to input the service centre if it isn't there or wrong.
Cheers for that boys but still no luck. Tried all the GSM GPRS settings in the SMS tab and still the same.
ericson68, tried that lots the day I realised i was having text problems, plus the guy on the phone from O2 got me to try that, but as soon as i click on the SMS/voicemail settings tab it rejects it and says unable to contact. All other tabs on there can be conected to, like call baring etc, just the texts one which is screwed.
O2 have offered to give me a new one when a courier comes to collect the old one. only problem is my billing address is my parents house where the box is, so have to send the phone back to them tomorrow through our royal fail post system. Special delivery time I think.
Could the hard SPL upgrade have affected this in anyway, Im still running the ROM that came with it though ?
Just out of interest if you do a hard reset and then insert the sim do you get a notification asking to set up o2, or is your phone o2 branded?

The phone is O2 branded and has O2 software on it as well.
I have just hard reset it without the SIM card in and it installs some O2 things going through the progress bar, and also brings up a page to do with O2 GPRS settings and automatically configuring it.
another try
Hi
(sorry, I missed that you alredy tried this)
I have a swedish phone so I am guessing the English meny names.
Maybe you can try this.
Go into settings, select phone, select services, tap "voicemail and sms", tap "get settings from network" and see what happens. You should receive the sms servicec enter number.
Kindest Regards

Hey stefan. Thanks but have tried that, and that is where the problem is. The SMS service settings are in there but when I click 'get settings' it says:
'Cannot read settings from network, try again later'....

Hi
Is it possible to type in the number and tap ok. That should initiate the phone/network with the message center number..
If there is a number there, what number is it?

Change the SIM card
Hi,
if you search the forum you will see that several people have the same problem, including myself...
Anyways, only solution (so far) is to change the SIM card. So just change your SIM card with your provider and it should work (this is probably free or really cheap anyways, you keep the same number etc.).
I have an unlocked Diamond and the same problem. Only my SIM card with Telenor provider does not work. Other Telenor cards work and also cards from different provider work.
So just change the SIM card and it should work (some people already tried it and it worked, I am too lazy to go to the store, but I will do it soon. until then I have another SIM card (different number) which works fine)
Cheers!
was this number ported to o2, or was it a new contract?
i had the same problem in the first 24 hours, worked fine after that.
Hey
Sorry didn't reply. Just after my last post I tried a friends SIM card at work and it worked fine, so must be my old sim card (5 yrs). My contract was an upgrade and have been with O2 for those 5 yrs.
New card on way to me now, thanks for all the help !
Custom ROM time this weekend
Have just got an xda off ebay - like everbody does from the sound of it.
appears unlocked, and can surf the internet via my wireless at home. only problem is put my vodafone sim in and says cannot connect to network. There's an exclamation next to the signal icon. Does this mean i cannot connect at all?
Have trawled the forums for answers but geting confused by all the jargon. Can anybody post the network settings or cab files for payg vodafone. all the current links i have clicked on just appear as a .gif, not a downloadable file
Getting fed up now as apart from the phone part i love my new toy
It's sounding as though it is not actually unlocked. The fact you can surf via WiFi has nothing to do with the SIM, my Alpine works just fine without a SIM in for that purpose.
Try the unlocking tool here on XDA-Dev to redo the removal of the carrier lock. I seem to recall having more success with the earlier version.
working or not?
the programme says it is unlocked, but exclamation still comes up - i guess i have to put in all the gprs and wap ect settings for it to connect properly?
samsung27
yes thats normaly how one get gprs to work unless the correct setting are preset
cab file correct?
have just downloaded the cab file for vodafone settings - but it just seems to contain one xml file?
looks like registry settings but no change to phone.
have tried to hard reset - power and reset at bottom but always get the o2 splash screen and radio settings never the personal or corporate file bit where you put in the serial no. am i doing the all wrong???
the unlock screen came and said that it was unlocked but still no joy as to using it as a proper phone
Here's a CAB for the Vodafone UK GPRS settings, i am on the monthly SIM onky contract so they may not work if you are PAYG.
finally got my alpine working - stuck in a new sim and topped up. installed spb phone suite and keboard as could not get wisbat to work with 2003 version of os. just need to get some latest themes and apps to get sorted. thanks for everybodies help
samsung27
changed providers again
yes it did work with vodafone for about 2 days then battery went flat. charged it up - no setings will not work.
stuck an new o2 sim in it and signal works registered etc. will wait to see if it does it again. other wise will just use it as an app and music pda
If you drained the battery completly , you will alweys lose all the settings.
You must charge it before it is completly drained.
Hi all,
I'm new to windows-base phone, there are two problems that I have with my TD2, and I don't seem to find the answers on the forum.
For some reasons, my TD2 has no problem of updating weather, but it cannot go online at all. I don't how to fix it. Recently, it pops up two windows constantly,
One says " Cannot Connect. Dialed: The answering modem has disconnected. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings."
Second one says: "There is a problem connecting to the GPRS service in your registered home network."
I bought my phone in Hong Kong, and I just installed Hard-SPL to change the language back to English. Ever since I installed it, the phone keeps popping up those two windows. I have tried to re-installed it, it worked until yesterday. I also tried factory reset, it is still not working. I really don't what the problems are and how to fix them.
HELP, PLZ!!!!!!!
Thanks,
Avril
Just a thought: borrow a SIM on a different network from a friend and replace your SIM with it, and the phone should offer to import the new network settings.
Then put your SIM back and the phone should re-import your network settings again. It's just a stab in the dark really...
The other thought (which affects users in the UK on t-mobile) the phone imports a "proxy server" setting from the SIM which is wrong. You have to delete this in Settings/Connections before you can go online with Opera.
I tried your thought #1, but it didn't work. I don't live in UK. I'm USA, and using AT&T. Are there any other ways that I can do it?
Thanks,
Avril
Hi all,
I am on B378 which I got OTA.
settings, more, mobile network does not open anymore.
it worked after the update, but after sometimes enable/disable data roaming, the screen closed by itself and now it is not possible to enter this submenu anymore. when i tap on "mobile network" it briefly shows "no service" in the top left corner but the menu does not open. if I tap mobile network again, the whole settings menu will close. This is a pain as I cannot enable / disable data roaming anymore.
any idea?
other wired things I notice with this version is:
-if I disable bluetooth in the settings, it gets gray and it can´t be turned back on. but it works when I activate BT from the dropdown menu
-when the phone rings, it most times shows the name of the previous caller for 3-4 rings and then switches to the actual callers name
I have the same problem. My mobile connection drops frequently since a few days. In the past I was usually a problem with the Access Points, but I can't access the Mobile Network settings anymore. If I try to use the search I can't find the subsettings like "Carrier" or "Access point names".
I'd like to avoid to do an hard reset, also because I suspect I might happen again.
I have the same problem

In the end, I had to do a hard reset. Now it's working fine.
This is fixed in the soon to be released B383. I experienced it twice but most recently refused to do a hard reset AGAIN unless i absolutely needed to get into Mobile network settings (so was still crashing)
Just updated to B383 without hard reset and it's fixed.
it just hapened again
after a hardreset which caused lots of configurations to be redone as the backup does not correctly store all the details, settings and rights... it worked for almost 2 month, then, the phone crashed while editing a photo, the photo was gone and so were many settings, 12vs24h clock, screen brightness, screen rotation, battery level in % etc
all this could be reconfigured but the "network settings does not open" problem reappeared. this is really a pain, the phone was working without trouble all the time with Android6 but with 7, this is a nighmare.
Btw the hardreset killed my SD card, which was encrypted. some time after the hardreset, it suddenly asked for the sdcard password and it did not accept my password anymore!? The only possible fix was to use an new SD...I will never encrypt it again.
Were did you get this B383 version from Esist? my phone does not find this update yet?
echo during call
I've P9 with single sim,
the other person hears himself back, (echo) during phone call. On my end its fine.
its not network issue, as I have checked with two different network SIM cards.
any help ? :crying:
I had this on b391. Factory reset resolved.
For the mobile network problem, you don't need to factory reset actually. just change the language of the device and you can access the mobile network menu again (in another language ofcourse).
Omg..this actually works for me..I had problems first with access to wf after to setting and I realize I can turn it on from the dropdown menu ,at the end I was not able to do it even that way.I restarted phone,I opened settings,changed language-and,it works!thanks..
Wow, this was really bugging me and the temporary language switch to French worked . Thanks guys!
I have the same problem with my Honor 8 unable to access mobile data to enable data roaming. Changed the language to French then Spanish and was able to connect without problem, changed back to English and unable to access. Honor helpline ( were brilliant excellent communication prompt response to my messages) after suggesting a couple of fixes has now suggested a hard reset and revert to factory settings. Having read various threads I'm not convinced this will work. Honor must be aware of this problem and I would have thought offered a fix. I think it's a software glitch. I'll try the hard reset and keep you posted.
God bless you guys, had this silly issue while I was trying to get data abroad, and doing another hard-reset was a no-go.
I am NEVER EVER buying anything from Huawei again. Got a Honor 6x one year ago that has only worked nicely for the first month... then tons of issues (slowdowns, crashes, etc.).
Hardware is good, while the software sucks.
Thank you! thank you! 100 times! I switched to Russian - and finally got this hell menu!!! when I change back to the English - I again can't get it. But anyway - at least now I know how I can turn on the roaming!
This language change solution worked in Honor 6x too. Somehow my volte settings were disabled for jio and i couldn't make or receive calls. But changed language to Hindi and then the mobile network opened and i could change the setting. But why is this happening.
