Tried my orange sim on another optimus 2x and it worked on that one, anyone have any ideas at all why this one wont pick up orange

Dude how long have you had the phone? Try a complete factory reset, if that fails maybe exchange it.

Got it yesterday. I have done a factory reset from setting and tried power + vol -, still no joy. No one i have spoken too have seen anything like this before. LGblaming orange, orange blaming lg. Sim working in another optimus 2x proves its phone fault though
Hacked right off cause this phone is awesome

If you have been on a subsription plan for like 2x 2 years you might have a outdated sim card and you need to contact your provider that you still have a outdated v5 card(or older) and you need a upgraded version for current smartphones

Good point, have you tried any other orange sim cards in your phone?

Unlocked phone

Anyone know if this phone works with any sim card that fits in the slot or do I need something specific. Like cclould I just stick a boost card into it and have it activated or do I need to do anything else to it?
Originally on at&t I just called and asked for and received the unlock code from them and used it, success.

[Q] i9305N LTE not working

Hi there! I'm sorry if there already is such a thread but I couldn't find anything quite like this.
I bought this i9305N second hand and it had the famous IMEI problem 00/02. I went to a service center and there they were able to restore the IMEI of the device. And the phone was able to connect to the 3G as normal but not the 4G network. I've never seen the 4G working on this phone and have no idea what to try. What I tried was:
different modem firmwares.
flashed CM 10.1 and again tried those modems.
tried to set the phone to lte only via the *#197328640# code.
I think that in Sweden this phone is supposed to work on only the tele2 and telenor 4g network. I've tried sim cards from both operators.
Has anyone experienced something like this? Does anyone have an idea what is happening and what I can try?
Thanks in advance.
Does yr provider support 4G?yr sim card support 4G? If all above Yes then yr area doesn't support 4G or the coverage of 4G very poor till none.

my operator supports 4G. There is 4G coverage and I've tried cards from every carrier here on contract and prepaid.
Try a phone wipe and install the stock firmware for your network .

Just out of curiosity, have you tried cards confirmed to be on 4G-enabled contracts? I had to call Tele2 and ask them to change my contract over to a 4G one before I would receive 4G speeds. Another silly thing you could check is if the phone is actually connecting to the 4G APN, for Tele2 this would be 4g.tele2.se.
Hi! This is the thing! I havent found a card with confirmed 4G on it. I was told that sim cards on contract have 4G enabled on them. I was wondering if there is some sort of a tool to scan networks around and see information about them like what freq and speed etc... I am using my comviq card now in the phone with the apn that you mentioned and that was set automatically as the phone is with the tele2 firmware. The most brutal thing was when I went to the tele2 office and asked for a 4g activated sim to try on my phone and they said that they don't have any!!!! I went to the telenor shop and when I asked for a demo sim card with 4G so that I can test my phone and he gave me a 3G prepaid card. After 10 minutes of changing settings and stuff on my phone I asked him if that card has 4G on it at all he said - no, its just a 3G. I am going a bit of topic but my point is that it is extremely hard for me to find out where the problem is.

My point is how are you planning to use 4G on the phone if you do not have a 4G contract? I mean, why all the fuss if you cannot use it anyway?

I want to be sure that the phone works on 4G after the reparation before getting a 4G contract.
Find someone with a 4G contract and ask to test his SIM in your phone.
I had a friend enable lte on his contract and then tried the sim on my phone. LTE didn't kick in. I don't know what it could be. Any suggestions please?

Hi.
I live in the "kära grannlandet" Finland and i had to call my operator to put my i9305 as my active phone.
(They change the ownership of the phone on their computer)
I bought my phone 2hand but it was factory sealed new. operator locked to the same operator that i use.
The phone was "active" to somebody else without 4G so thats why it didnt work for me.
Hope this helped at all..
Lycka till!
My friend had similar issues with his S2, I went into the phone options menu using the #xx# number and the phone itself was not set to lte mode. I am sure you can find the menu codes somewhere on the forums as I don't have them memorized. It is worth checking if you have not done so.

[Q] No 4G LTE after SIM error

Hey guys,
I work at Sprint and my technicians and myself cannot figure this out. So I thought I would reach out to you guys!
I had 4G flawlessly on my phone for the first few weeks I had it. One day I got a SIM error that read something like this, "No SIM Card: 4G LTE will not work as SIM/UICC is reinserted". I popped out the little SIM card, wiped it off, and the phone read it and the error went away. Since then I have not had a single connection to 4G LTE.
All of our demo phones are on 4G lte as well as my girlfriends phone at home. I am constantly in 3G or 1X. Any advice would be great
Things I have already tried....
1. Updated profile/prl
2. Reprovisioned phone using ##72786#
3. Toggled settings using *#*#4636#*#*
4. Wiped and installed a new ROM
5. Played around with SIM card slot and rebooting phone
I am going to try a new UICC sim if we have one around the store...if that doesn't work im out of ideas!
I have no suggestions, but I have had the same exact problem the past couple of weeks. I got the error, but I didn't even pop the SIM card out. I just put the phone in airplane mode like I usually did when I got the error. When I took it out of airplane mode, my 4g was gone and it has not come back. I have checked all settings and I can't come up with anything. I also RUU'd back to stock just to make sure. Still no sign of 4g.
Let me know if replacing your sim does the trick, because this has been driving me crazy.
By the way, I know it is the phone and not just sprint messing with the towers or something, because my wife's evo 4g lte is on 4g all the time.

I read somewhere that your SIM ID and your UICC ID have to match, don't know if it's true, but go to settings - about - phone identity to check it out

The phone is rooted. I don't think there are any other radios out for this device yet though. Thanks for your reply though
I'm a Sprint Tech and do not have an answer currently for you guys as I have been receiving this error as well and only just found this thread. Will try to research tomorrow and see if I can find an answer. I only received this message once as of yesterday and it went away seconds later. Tonight it reappeared and is sticking. Under app info it shows this is the Phone app that is sending out this notification. There is a possibility if you force close the app and then disable notifications for it that this error may go away; however, I'm not sure what other notifications we would consequently loose. Current corporate PRL is 55015 and I am running Viper 1.0.3 with stock kernel. I am wondering if this has to do with refreshing your PRL because I did not notice it until I requested it from Updates two days ago even though the actual PRL version number did not change.

yea that sh!t didnt work at all. this seems really stupid to me that our phone is having this issue what could be causing this why would the sim card mess it up?
Ok so the consensus is, this seems really stupid too but its the only thing I can figure, the SIM is loose. If you eject your HTC One Micro Sim and place a small piece of scotch tape on the reverse side of the connector, this gives the card just enough volume, when reinserted to consistently maintain contact with the reader as the SIM tray is simply too big and is allowing the phone to believe there is actually no SIM card inserted when the connection is detected as broken. Suppose this also explains the inconsistencies in various user experiences since we all have different handling habits. Any one else want to wager to guess why this problem is so intermittent?

my friend who works at bb hooked me up with another sim. im taking it to sprint tomorrow and see if they can do anything. my friend said he could swap for a new htc one as well. i would have to pay 30 bones though.

[Q] HTC one no sim card detected.. HELP

I have an HTC ONE m7 that is about a year old and is rooted and running omni rom. It has been rooted for about 6 months and I had been running cyanogonmod and everything was running fine until last week when I got the dreaded sim card error. a restart of the phone did the trick. 2 days later it happened again and this time a restart did not work and my phone was out of commission for about 4 hours as I tried everything to fix it (including a full wipe of cyanogen and a fresh install with omni rom) with no success. Then one random time I restarted it popped back up and everything was fine. Now over the last few days it keeps giving me the sim error and only goes away after random amounts of time and restarts. If the error does go away and I have service. I get 4g LTE for about 10 minutes before I lose the ability to make any calls/texts or have any data connectivity. I have tried the scotch tape trick with no success as well as changing my APN. I'm sadly starting to think this may be a hardware issue.
Any thoughts??

If the phone is defective, send it for repair
