Hi all
few days i ago i swaped my sim card with my brothers (same phone/carrier) to check if it was the sim card causing errors in his phone
When i put it back into mine i lost service and got reboots every few minutes
tried various things, reverting to stock, reseating the sim card and flashing a new sbf.
finally, I reverted to my nandroid and it says it got service but calls/texts/3g dont work
if anyone could help that would be much appeciated
P.S. My brothers phone has no service but doesnt have random reboots like mine. Im thinking new sim cards
You can try flashing the baseband for your country again through AOR, maybe when you switched SIM cards, you got some but not all of the APN's needed for 3G, SMS, etc.
reflashed basebands(no luck), checked sim cards mine has my number. heres my apn
Name - Telus Sp
APN - sp.telus.com
proxy/port/username/password/server/Authentication type - not set
MMSC - H(wont let me post urls)ttp://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mmsc
MMS - Proxy - 74.49.0.18
MMS - Port 80
MCC - 302
MNC - 220
APN type - default, dun ,mms
Could someone pls help!!
I just checked my APN settings and my APN type was set to "not set".
Other than that, it seems like your SIM card might be broken.
Ya i think it is my sim its just weird that it worked before, then once i but it back in my phone after switching with my brother's it broke
Its definitely the sim card took it out and i've gone an hour without reboots. Gonna be such a hassle to get a new one

My i9000m on the Bell mobility network is not picking up data after an overnight charge with the phone turned on. Today - nothing. I do have phone use and I can access data on WiFi.
I am running stock ROM. I unlocked the phone using a Rogers SIM card, about a week ago, but went back to the Bell network immediately after with no problem. After unlocking I got the Kies to work and updated to UGJH2. Since then, the network access has been spotty but I've switching to WiFi then switching back and it's coming back. I purchased this phone with a different Bell SIM2 then put my old Bell SIM1 (from an Omnia2) in this device.
*#7465625# shows Personalizatiob Status
network lock [OFF]; Network sublock[OFF]; SP lock [OFF]; CP lock [OFF]
What I've tried
1) Switching to WiFi and back - no data
2) Putting SIM1 back into the Omnia 2 - O2 booted up and accessed the Bell network including data. CONCLUSION - The problem is not the SIM card.
3) Putting the SIM2 into the i9000m - no network access at all; not even phone. This SIM2 is working in the O2 and originally worked in the i9000m. Much to my surprise when I put SIM1 back in the SGS it still picks up the Bell network.
4) Squeezed the SIM holder blew out with compressed air in case it's just a physical problem with the SIM being held tight enough - SIM1 still not picking up data.
So it would seem that there is a problem with my SGS reading SIMs other than the one in use when whatever happened happened. Any suggestions on how to get other SIMs, even from the same network, to work? If I have to submit my phone to Bell I need to re-lock it. How do I do that?
Thanks for the help.
--- update---
relocked the phone using *7465625*638*# then 302610 and my unlock code. Power off / on still no data access. Now *#7465625# shows Personalizatiob Status - network lock [ON]; Network sublock[OFF]; SP lock [OFF]; CP lock [OFF]
first try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=789039&highlight=*#0011#
does it show which band it is using for data?
you can also try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8124344&postcount=45
install the APN on off
then flip it on / off and back to on
see if that helps
Thanks for the response.
I did the #*0011* It's flipping between the 850 on 5 and 1900 on 2 The DL and UL numbers are slightly different. I did have to reconnect to the APN.
How would this affect installing *other* Bell SIMS? That's what worries me the most - that it wouldn't read another Bell SIM that works in another phone.
the only time i see this happen is if you swap the SIM card when the phone is ON
if you turn off the phone, change between SIM1 and SIM2, then turn it back on, you should not see that problem
I know because i was playing around with multiple SIMs when we were researching the Unlock methods for this phone
I take out the battery before I change the SIM. I have to for the Omnia 2 so I just got in the habit. This is sounding worse and worse
although I was rushing off to work so maybe I didn't - hope springs eternal.

sometimes you just have to call Bell, wade thru the 1st level support and get to someone who knows what's up. Apparently my phone plan changed today (I didn't know it was post dated) and the data feature was not provisioned even though it's a plan that includes data. The guy invoked the feature and poof - data. yay. AllGamer, thanks for your help.
you'r welcome
I did have the same problem, using 2 numbers from 2 telcos, both sims work fine on my iphone but I9000 fail to recognize 1 of these 2, no matter how I tried, I actually did all crazy things like insert couple paper layers between the sim and the sim slot to create additional pressure on the sim contact circuit.
Suck thing about this is non-recognizable sim has data plan with it, which I want to use on I900, finally I asked the carrier to issue a new sim and all thing work fine. It's a new sim type anyway. You may want to try this if all other means doesn't work.
The fix is easy I use to have a moto milestone and when this happened a simple reboot fixed the data connection.

Hi,
Was wondering if anyone have the same problem as me in that the APN settings are getting lost when say you change MNC settings? That is APN is not getting saved (well it doesn't appear on apn list anyway)
Seems like no one is having this problem and I'm the only one?
Had posted in a few threads but no one ever respond so don't know if it's just me or is it an issue with the firmware.
Cheers
Yes, I did notice it once, when I entered an incorrect MNC accidentally. But for correct MCC/MNC it doesn't happen. I see that you are with Virgin Mobile AU, Me too. Correct Mobile Country Code (MCC) for Australia is 505 and you should put Mobile Network Code (MNC) as 02 for Optus.
Nah I got it working, just that my import from previous apn settings doesn't work, manually entering it in works. Although for teh MNC if you delete the 02 and add it back in as 02 it'll fail as well. I think it's a bug...
I'm just surprise it seems not alot of people is noticing this.....
Hi, I have a problem with APN settings in my RAZR i. There is no APN list and every APN profile which I'm trying to save disappears. I assume problem causing old sim from VIRGIN Mobile Poland cause it has something wrong with MNC and MCC and Jelly Bean can't set APN if it can't read MCC and MNC from SIM. It should has MCC 206 and MNC 06 but phone can't read it. Strange thing is that when I used SIM from different operator but the same MNC and MCC list of APN's shown. The same thing was with Market Enabler, when I set 26006 APN's shows on my Virgin Mobile SIM but even after setting right APN phone couldn't connect to internet.
OFC it's SIM card problem cause T-Mobile and Orange working well so I asked Virgin to change sim card for some working with Jelly Bean but they say they don't have any other sim cards and not directly but something like F*** You, it's Your problem, not ours. I can change operator but Virgin has best offer for me at this moment but in the end I think it's the only way.
Maybe someone have some clue to trick system to read MCC and MNC right?? I used this card on Atrix stock 2.3.4 and CM10.1 and it' working fine and problem is only on RAZR i, tried 2 different roms and nothing - RTEN and RTEU.
Nvm anymore, I'm going to change my carrier in few days.
Maybe, are you in flightmode? Because in flightmode all apn's are disabled and invisible
No, I'm not. APN's not showing up cause android shows only APN's which match MCC+MNC from SIM card and when there is something wrong with my MCC+MNC it wont show any APN.
So, I bought the Z3C D5803 online (amazon) a while ago in the US. Unlocked, international version.
I don't get any LTE signal, although I have all bands necessary for T-Mobile LTE, except band 12. But this is no reason for it not to work. I only get 3G/H/H+. The APN settings are all OK, according to the T-Mobile tech support.
Since it's a corporate SIM, I can't handle things directly. The service (and SIM) HAS a LTE data plan, since it was being used in a different phone, provided by T-Mobile, and I had 4G. An IT employee called them and they told him that my phone is compatible, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it will wotk with T-Mobile (wtf does that even mean?). Like, my phone has all the bands necessary, but they could be closed (is that even possible?).
What I think is happening is that the SIM was registered with the previous phone's IMEI, and since my new phone has a different IMEI, T-Mobile is blocking LTE connection. Or my xperia IMEI is not registered as a LTE phone.
This is definitely not a hardware problem.
One thing worth mentioning. Before using this phone in the US, I traveled to Brazil and used my SIM card from there. LTE worked flawlessly, athough it uses different bands. The APN settings updated automatically.
So, what gives?
I have same model number and I'm on t-mobile.lte works for me what is your apn settings

First, my preferred network type is: LTE(preferred), WCDMA/GSM
Then, my APN settings are (downloaded automatically after I inserted the SIM):
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
Proxy: not set
Port: not set
Username: not set
Password: not set
Server: not set
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS proxy: not set
MMS port: not set
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Autentication type: none
APN type: default,supl,a-gps,mms
APN protocol: IPv6
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
APN enable/disable: checked (grayed out)
Bearer: unspecified
MVNO type: none
MVNO value: not set (grayed out)
I don't have the phone in front of me, so I can't confirm the APN settings, but my wife's D5803 gets LTE on T-Mobile USA.
Same settings as me I'm not to sure the issue

Well, that is unfortunate. I don't belive that is possible for your D5803 to work while mine doesn't, which was what the employee from T-Mobile tried to say. I believe it's a carrier issue with the SIM card/ IMEI.

The SIM card is tied to the IMEI? Are you sure? I move my T-Mobile SIM from phone to phone (Z3C, Nexus 5, HTC One M8) with no problem getting LTE.

I don't think so. I think that the problem is with the SIM card or something to do about it being registered to the phone previously being used.
So it happens that I have another T-Mobile SIM card (a pre paid one, which is my personal number)and I tried it on my phone. To my amusement and frustration, I got LTE signal. So, what could T-Mobile be doing with my work line that I'm not getting LTE?
I believe it's a carrier issue with the SIM card
I had the same problem when I first got my Nexus 5 a while back. It turns out all I needed was a new SIM card, so that is most likely the culprit. It sucks that you'll have to jump through hoops to get a new SIM though.
Try setting your APN protocol: to IPv4

No dice.
I think it's a problem with the SIM card. Now, what I don't know is:
If the problem is with the SIM card only
If the problem is with the SIM card and IMEI (4G registered to work only with the previous T-Mobile phone)

T-mobile US doesn't register the IMEI to the SIM, so I doubt it's that. Could be a defective SIM I suppose, or maybe LTE isn't enabled on the phone for some reason. First thing I'd do is go to a store and have them switch out the SIM for a new one.

LTE is enabled, and when I switch the current SIM for the other pre-paid I have from T-Mobile, I get LTE signal. So, maybe that indicates without a doubt that the problem is the SIM card?
It's really likely then that it's the SIM since the other one works. Go to a T-mobile store and they'll probably give you another one for free since that one isn't working. LTE isn't something T-mobile charges more for, so you should get it if the network is available.
Hey guys,
I bought a Nexus 6 two months ago while I was on T-Mobile. I got fed up with T-Mobile service (constantly dropping calls, not receiving all text messages, etc) and decided to switch to Verizon. I took my phone to Verizon last night, they scanned it and gave me a nano SIM. I was surprised how easy it was, given the headaches others have seemed to endure trying to get a Verizon SIM. Everything seemed to work on Verizon's end, according to the person who helped me.
The problem is, I can't get LTE to work with voice/text. If I go to Settings -> More -> Cellular Networks -> Preferred Network Type, I have 3 options to choose from: Global, LTE/CDMA, LTE/GSM/UMTS. If I select LTE/GSM/UMTS, I get LTE data, but I can't send/receive calls or texts. If I select Global or LTE/CDMA, I can send/receive calls and texts but I only get 3g data. If I go to Phone Info (*#*#4636#*#*) and set network type to LTE Only, the same thing happens...LTE data only, but no calls/texts.
This is about the limit of my ability to troubleshoot problems. What am I missing?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
Did you properly configure the APN settings for Verizon? Your problem may be with that. Do a Google search for Verizon APN settings for Nexus 6...your answer may lie there.
most people have to factory reset their phones when going from another carrier to verizon, to get lte to work properly.

There were about 50 APNs when I checked. I deleted all of them and created a new one based on the following:
Name: Verizon
APN: vzwinternet
MMSC: mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms (with http, but won't let me post when typed out)
MMS port: 80
APN type: default,supl,mms
Everything else was left default. Restarted my phone. I am still only getting 3g on Global and LTE/CDMA, still can't make calls with LTE/GSM/UMTS.

I did a factory data reset this morning.
There are at least 5 - and as much as 10 - APN setting setups for Verizon. You may have to try them all. I put a Verizon Sim in my N6 and they all showed up in the list of APNs. When you deleted them you may have deleted the one most compatible with the N6. You may have to reset, put back in the Verizon Sim, and hope they all repopulate the APN section. If not, you'll have to search for them all and try each setup.
I can reset the default APNs and they will all show up again...without having to factory reset.
Do I need to reset the phone without the Verizon SIM inserted? I left the SIM inside when I reset this morning. I only ask because you mentioned resetting the phone and then re-inserting the Verizon SIM.
Thanks for your help.
I generally remove Sims and SD cards (not applicable here) when doing a reset as my line of precaution. Since you are able to restore the default APNs, do so, and try each one till you get the proper one.
Tmobile has their own software version/radio pushed out to Nexus 6's. You can try loading the Verizon software version/radio and see if it works.
Try this one: http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/nexus-6/shamu/vzw/

I found the problem. When the Verizon rep installed the sim, she immediately dialed *228. After googling LTE problems, I've found out that *228 on a LTE phone is a very bad thing. I got a new SIM and everything is now working.
Thanks again!
