Sim Vs Usim on Kaiser

Hi Guys,
My Kaiser arriving tomoz to replace aging m3100 (Orange TTyN), but as I share a business contract and need the Kaiser, we have needed to switch Sims on our phones, hence I only have a none-3g sim for my kaiser.
Question is thus;
Do I need it to be a 3G sim to use HSPDA? I understand HSPDA is 3g 1.5 or something, but wanted to clarify the issue.
If no good, how can I get a 3g sim into the phone but retain the number? Orange don't want to play ball, as I have suggested they can 'upgrade' the Sim with new code etc.? ( yes, a little knowledge is a very dangerous thing.. )
Any help and advice would be much appreciated..
Cheers

I phoned orange they sent new 3G sim two days ago though mine was on PAYG.
My old sim only got GPRS.
The new sim has a number to phone to register it. Follow the prompts...The rep will ask you for the new sim card number and apply it to your phone.
After you put the new sim card in you'll get a text telling you to switch the phone off then on... then presto HSDPA
Make sure you specify that you want a 3G sim card else they'll try and send you a normal one

Yeah I dont follow at all...
Orange are anal about sim's with devices. You should register the new sim you get with your device and they will change it to your old number within a few hours.

I'm running a Kaiser on T-Mobile and I get HSPDA whenever its available. I don't have 3G service so I think you should get the max Data connection available when its available.

Thanks for tips Guys !
As I have found on other parts of these forums, plenty of great advice given quickly ! Cheers
Just to get this straight, as its a business phone and I cant screw it or lose my number...
Problem is, as I swapped phones with my Bro who I work with, there is already a phone using the number provided on the new sim... So I cant register the new sim.
Orange are ANAL about their sims, and ANAL about removing TouchFlo (Grrr) bunch of ANAL freaks if you ask me..
Anyhoo,
Could I register the sim, and give MY number, and they will register to that number? Orange Bod says there is NOTHING that can be done, NO WY to solve the situation, but you guys are so much smarter than them...
Keep it coming ! Is it poss. to re-code the sim to 3g using a simcard reader? should I find out where Head orange guy lives and shake him warmly by the throat?

Please help, put in Sim card, shows 'no service'

Hi
I just got on at&T 8925, I put in sim card and it did not ask for unlock code, so I guess it is unlocked, I put in my sim card (Fido Canada,works in other phone) and it show "no service" can not find phone network signal.
I tried
ATT ROM 1.57.502.2 and
RUU_Kaiser_ROGERS_WWE_1.83.631.4_radio_sign_22.51.88.13_1.27.15.32R_Test.exe
radio 1.27.12.11 and 1.27.15.32
all same problem.
Can anyone help me, are these rom combinations not good? or something wrong with the device?
or anything I need to do?
thank you for your help !

Try another known-good SIM card. If you still cannot get service, then you probably have a hardware issue with the phone.

Sounds stupid, but did you make sure you put the SIM in the right way around.
You wouldn't believe how many people have not done this right.

Sounds like it's not unlocked... when I got mine it wasn't unlocked but it only asked for a code once.... just run the unlocker to be sure...

maybe to hard reset?

Hi thanks for everyone's help.
I think I put the sim card the right way , otherwise it will show 'no sim card'
I am keep trying other rom/radio; still no luck, it either keep searching or say 'no service'
I really hope it is not hardware problem.
hope if anyone has the experience and could help me
it really confuse me.
Thanks

welll this might be a little solution i read in another thread...sum times the phone will not read the sim becuz its not making enough contact to the phone...so maybe a little piece of paper on top of the sim then put it in the phone MIGHT help..if it doesnt then ur phone is jacked up =P
or
when i put my tmobile sim in my unlocked 8925 it worked and then a couple our couldnt get n e service... and i checked my brothers phone and dad and they didnt have service too... so maybe sumtimes the network will nto work for a while. or sumthing

If you go in the phone options and do a manual network search, does it find anything?

Thanks brian_v3ntura:
but I tried paper, same thing, maybe not be contact problem.
Thanks kilrah:
I tried that, it shows " cannot read setting from network, try viewing setting later or disconnect data connection and try again."
I did saw something online that maybe because the Fido sim card maybe old (about 3 years), but it did work with sth. like Samsung blackjack II. maybe Kaiser is more complicated.
just wonding if anyone have experience that old sim card may have problem with new phones.
I will keeping trying...

My SIM card is about 4 years old.
I'd bet your Kaiser has a hardware problem.

Hi, guys
I tried a friend's Fido sim card, it works, I don't what's the difference, but it is just like that, maybe I should go get a new card.
Thanks everyone.

good
as one of the boys ur sim might be damaged/old (power failure issues most likely)

yeah, just what confused me is that the sim card still work with my other phones.

Hey guys,
Long time lurker here... and I'm having the same problem.
I have a foreign (Cyprus CytaMobile Vodaphone) SIM in my Kaiser. A couple times over the last few days I was getting the "no service" but if I reset (turn on/off) the device it was fine. Today I cannot get service on it at all. I tried it in an unlocked 1G iPhone and it didn't seem to work either.
I thought maybe the SIM is dead, however when the device it's in starts up, it asks me for the PIN set on the SIM card. I enter the PIN, and it unlocks the SIM. How could the SIM be dead if the PIN authenticates? However, when I put my regular Canadian Rogers SIM in, it works fine.
Where it usually says "Searching.." on the home screen, I once got "Denied, searching.." but I haven't been able to reproduce it.
Any ideas? The provider doesn't have a local roaming agreement, however for the past year it has always registered on the network and allowed me to check balance and send text messages.
Is it most likely a dead SIM or blocked by Rogers? I'm doubting the blocked part, but the successful PIN entry is what has me baffled...
Thanks!
Chris

Ok different SIM card also from Cyprus Cytamobile in a SE w810 does the same thing. Is Rogers seriously all of a sudden blocking these? There is no local roaming agreement, however I would always get the Rogers welcome text's and even be able to check balances. I've been doing this off and on for 4 years...
Anyone ever heard of something like this?
Thanks,
Chris
P.S. Sorry, getting a bit off topic but I thought the initial problem was related!
EDIT: Ok, I can also see all the SIM contacts and SMS messages stored on the SIM.

I also have the same problem with my tytn, I have a bad feeling it is hardware If you manage to find the problem please let me know. I have tried the paper thing and also all new firmware and OS nothing helps

Try setting it to GSM only (disable 3G) and see what happens.
To do that go to Settings->Personal->Phone->Band->Network Type=GSM.
If it works then, you might want to read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=419803

Have you tried checking to see if flight mode is on?
Its happened to me a few times

[Q] Reception problem for Samsung Galaxy S

Going to send a donation to the site if this works as it'll save me money I would spend in a shop getting it fixed. I read the rules and did a search for a similar topic, but each one seemed to be slightly different from my situation, I hope this is the right area of the forum as I'm new to it.
The phone was brought from T-Mobile but I also have an O2 account that I use for work so would like to be able to switch between sims with ease. I'm a total newbie with Samsung, especially the way it works so treat my question as if you were answering a child
I'm on a mac and used the method posted on this site to unlock it and that worked (as far as I know), it said unlock successful etc but now the sim isn't recognized apart from it being on O2, and there is a symbol of a sim card with red around it and a blue circle with a line through it at the top where reception would be. What's even more worrying is that the original T-Mobile sim card is getting the same response as well.
Thanks a lot.

Try to hold it correctly as said Steve

Are you sure you fitted the sim card properly? Last month I had a blonde moment when I inserted the sim card the wrong way and wondered why I had no reception.
Also you might want to clean the contacts.

You could also check you have network settings for O2 .
Suggest it may have failed to unlock if its not the settings .
Just borrow another network sim and try that same error on sim = not unlocked .

I've tried that, but no luck. It says my sim isn't able to connect to that provider, despite it being an O2 sim that works perfectly on another phone. Or do you mean network settings that needs to be manually put into the phone?

Hah, I actually read about a few people doing this as I was searching the net for a solution but I have put it in right. I even put it in upside down just to be sure I wasn't being an idiot.

Have you checked your APN settings in your phone?
To get to the settings section, follow this path.
Settings>Wireless and Network>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names
I was going to post a link to a site that has all the U.K carrier settings, but I need a few more posts to be able to do that.
Just do a google search for each mobile carriers APN settings and manually enter the information.
I'm not sure if this will solve your problem, but it's a good place to start.

Question Help me fix it

Hello guys. I bought a s21 ultra 9980 512gb.
However, i cant use it with sim card as its not detecting the network. I dont get it what could be the problem. I cant even untick the automatic network search as i get error.
Will post you guys here some photos maybe you can help me out. I dont think is locked because i dont get any message when i insert sim to enter the unlock code. What could be the problem?
Please help. Thx

Are you sure its an active sim card?

Yes. I have the card in an iphone as its my current sim..

Is the Samsung running official FW?

Yes… original .

do you still have the imei number present in the settings and if you type *#06# ?

Might be sim locked by the carrier, you could theoretically still use the esim I believe if it isn't giving you an option to enter an unlock code.

Yes.. both imei show up.
How can i check for sure its sim locked?
Also, when i insert any sim, for one second the “no signal sign” near the battery goes away then comes back instant.. and it doesnt ask for any pin…
Thanks for your inputs

I have read about this issue before as well. Is this a "dual sim" model? Try the other slot if it is, and also try leaving the sim in and rebooting. You could also try "reset network settings" under settings. I'll have a look to see if I can find the thread where people said they had a fix.

is it yours from brand new? and have you checked to see if it black listed? also, there seems to be an issue with some Samsung where they are forced into airplane mode the only way you see this is the notification panel the airplane model toggle is half-lit blue I could be something to do with that. Failing that it could also be if you have dropped the device the ribbon may have come loose as this is a common issue with Samsung a range and that's all I'm seeming to fix lately

Hello. No, didnt buy new. I got it used.Yes its dual sim model. It doesnt appear as blacklisted.
Its not in airplane mode for sure. Also i did factory reset and also wrote all stock firmware ap cm bl csc from samfirmware..but its the same as before.
Also, esim doesnt show up under the sim card manager.

try *#2263#* to change bands, or *#0011#

Maybe also try to put the sim in the other slot, and see what happens. If all the same, try someone elses SIM card for a minute to see. Maybe your sim has become slightly damaged but your iphone still manages to read it, while for some reason the s21 is not managing.

Just tried the sim in my sisters s20 and works. Also tried her sim into this new phone and same . Even if i put in sim1 or sim2.

Found this online:
"In Settings go to network mode and set this to 3G only. Then restart your phone. This works in my case."

Thanks for your sugestion. But its the same…

I had the same issue on single sim korean unit...but factory reset resolved the issue. Actually i used to disable carrier apps which was causing this issue.
