WEIRD! Emergency call only! O_o

This one is pretty *beep* up! The phone was working pretty fine last time I looked at it (30 minutes ago), I put it in my pocket and had dinner (as always), then I took it out to make a phone call and it says just "Emergency call only" instead of showing my phone operator (3 ITA). I tried rebooting, no luck! Still the same.
Strange thing is that it has signal (full) but I can't make/receive calls or use data network. If I go under Settings -> Wifi -> Mobile networks settings and I look for operators it searches and I can see all of them (mine included) but I cannot select it!! Neither mine nor another one (TIM, which is the roaming default one for my operator when there's no signal)...it just says "Unable to connect. Try later".
Weirdest thing of all is that I AM RECEIVING PUSH EMAILS from gmail!!!
Anyone has a clue about this??? Has it ever happened to anyone?
Btw, I'm using zeroblaster rom, which is based on official italian froyo firmware...everything was working so good until ten minutes ago!
Hope I don't have to reflash...
Just got weirder: put my sim on another phone...it registers without problems on the network.
Then put the other's phone's sim on my sgs...it registers without problems.
Then switched again: Emergency calls only
WHAT THE ****??!? (what are we? children? sorry mod...lol)

Sounds like it may be ur sim card but its weird it would work in another phone. Perhaps its a mix of ur sim and ur rom. A flash may be ur only fix...

It is WAY weird imho! The weirdest thing being that I'm still receiving gmail's pushes after 5-6 reboots while it keeps saying "emergency calls only".
Also I saw that when the phone boots, while it's loading the launcher, widgets, etc. it gets the connection for like 2-3 seconds it shows my operator (in the lockscreen), then it switches to "emergency calls only"...
I'll wait another hour (maybe as the issue came out of nowhere it'll go away? ) then I'll try reflashing...since I had to change to k9 anyway to fix the /system corruption etc. -.- I'm already backing-up...
Hope the flash will fix this though...it's really a pain in the ***

No that's not it, because putting H3G sim on another phone WORKS!!
And anyway, when H3G's down it uses TIM as roaming...this time I cannot even select TIM as operator, it refuses! And normally you can always use tim in roaming if you want (even when H3G has signal...)!

Hmmmm... That is weird alright.
If you purchased your SGS through your carrier H3G I would still call them to report it as there are now 2 of you experiencing the same issue so it cant just be phone related and if it is then they will have to honor your warranty to replace or fix it (both of you)...
It's happening to me too.. i also use H3G Italy on my Galaxy S and i have this issue since around 19:00 this evening with my work SIM card
I have a Tayutama 1.0.0 ROM based on the JPM Froyo ROM.. it's the first time this is happening to me..

Well... That is 3 of you so it must be carrier related in some way. Again... Call your carrier and explain what is happening. Explain that when you put the sim into a different device it works ok but in the SGS all you can do is make emergency calls and they should be able to tell you what is going on.
Make sure to post back as I am now interested in seeing what your issue is / was...

JP5 (i tried another one, don't remember what version but it's the same, it is not firmware related)
in settings->about phone->status it says:
network: 3 ITA
mobile network type: UMTS
service state: out of service
mobile network state: connected (and it works... )
but ... int the status bar it shows "Only emergency calls"...
i haven't tried another phone yet... will do now...

You just answered your own question I think. "service state: out of service" says it all I believe even if the sim cards DO rgister on another phone for whatever reason.
The fact is the they dont register on your Galaxy S so call them and report the issue and they should be able to help you...
Yeah well, you see, that could be a problem because...H3G has a TERRIBLE customer care, lol! Basically the thing is you can't call them...you need to send an email, and an answer will arrive 2-3 days later. That's not good enough for me! If it doesn't get fixed tomorrow I'll go directly to a 3shop and they'll call someone higher to understand this. Hope they fix it soon though!
Anyway...now I have a strong curiosity: could it be JUST the SGS? If so...WHY???? I tried putting the simcard on a Nokia E71 and it works...does anyone have another android phone with H3G? Could it be somehow "system"-related? Because I can't figure out why a specific phone device shouldn't work point-blank with my operator! And that's even a phone they sell themselves!!
Rebooted and now it WORKS! THANK GOD (even if I'm atheist....)
Still would like to know why it did this!
I had a similar problem where if I was in an area with bad reception it would default to emergency calls only. But the funny thing is when I go into the menu settings I can see my carrier and when I try to select it, it says network unreachable. Eventually I would get signal but the tab still says emergency calls only. Tried making calls but it wouldn't allow.
Initially to rectify the problem I rebooted the phone and that worked but got annoying. So I realised that if I left it for a couple of mins whenn it had reception it would fix itself. As of recently (last 2 months) I haven't any problems.
Btw i'm on jpm and my carrier is 3 australia. It's rubbish service

Hello,
Same thing happening to me... It must have something related to signal strength, i went downtown and phone was perfectly fine.
But at home it keeps loosing signal, i dialed *#*#0011#*#* and it shows changing BAND... as if it was searching for service on different bands...
But the thing is, i tried inserting the SIM on other 2 phones and i get a FULL signal, so i guess signal is coming pretty intense here... why is the SGS loosing it? i have no idea...
By the way, i am from Brazil, and that started happening after i flashed my rom to FROYO VJJPA..
me too, has no signal at home but works for another phone.

[Q] CANNOT connect to any wifi networks!? HELP!

Hey guys, I am not able to connect to any wifi networks not even my own. The phone is able to locate the wifi networks near my house, but when i click on it, it prompts for the WPA password, but the "connect" button is greyed out. I am not able to click on it T_T. So all i am able to do is enter my password and thats about it...
EDIT : This occured as a result of me manually upgrading to 2.2 firmware, if that helps anyone.
EDIT 2 : Also, there is a slight scratch on my sim card now because i may have took it out inproperly. I dont know if thats the problem
EDIT 3 : It seems like i fixed the problem, but my 3g network is still not working >_>
Aww anyone ? D:
Have you tried through settings as apposed to the notification bar
Sent from me
Yep i did it through settings. And I also noticed that my 3g network isnt working either. It shows 2 full bars/ 5 bars, but i cant go to any website. It wont load.

Sounds like a modem problem

guys plz i need help with my network signal!

hi everybody. my network signal is weak i looked for many ways to solve this problem but all of them did not work " i changed my rom to many roms such as GB 2.3.3, 2.2, cm9, and now my celphone with MIUI.. also i changed the modem many times with miui. all i remember r "radio-cm7-galaxyS-JPM-signed.zip and JVU from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158783
note: my cellphone was locked to Claro unlocked it by samsung s unlocker app.. now i'm in the Meddle East Yemen...
my best regards
Go to this page--"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881"
Download the firmware for your region, the correct one, and flash through odin.
Hope you have flashing knowledge. and that will fix the modem issue.
thx my friend .. ya know how to flash with oden ... one more Q is my problem in the modem 100%?? can the problem be in the hardware?
i was in the Official GB 2.3.3.. is it the same thing or i have to try this one also?
Modem can be the main problem if you dont have signal at all.
But even after flashing the correct rom and modem for your location and you face the problem there could be chances of hardware, very rare though, or could be the area your living at, far away from the city or maybe some area that dosnt fall under a proper network coverage.
could be anything. Just flash the correct firmware rom modem whatever, check that your at an open good place, call and message your friends and check for network problems. Hope this helps.
thx friend.. there is a signal but weak and NOT about the aria i live in coz my brother has HTC with the same network nothing wrong also my sis has Nokia n8 with the same network company also nothing wrong at all clear sounds receiving and sending not as my cellphone many problems with sending and receiving sounds i hear them clearly but they barley hear me and sometimes the line goes off!
this problem is killing me.. plz help
up up up up up
you're wiping cache and dalvik cache in recovery before flashing these modems? also, don't plug your charger/usb in while doing it; it's known to cause zero signal when flashing UCKF1, even though it would work otherwise.
Also: you could try entering service mode and checking your settings there.

If you're on 2.3.3, you may need to use *#*#4636#*#*

Oh, I linked to you the wrong post in that thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9201884&postcount=2
First one, for signal -- choose menu items by the numbers like he said.
Also find out what bands your network uses (both for calls and data) and make sure you have the right settings -- they likely should be; they'll be in that services menu.
Sorry, figuring this out will take you a lot of searching, reading and playing around. Just note down what you do so you can go back to it if you have to.
man i did what he said and there r 1.8.3 but 6 not there in my menu there r just 1.2.3.4.5 ... 6 is not there????????
up up up up plz help
:'(
what should i do?? i'm going to throw it
Please try your SIM card in any other cell phone (eg. your sister's). If it has the same weak signal then it's possibly the card that is caussing all your trouble. I heard of similar problems when people received new SIM cards from providers because of network issues. I don't have any idea what a SIM card has to do with signal strenght but that's just what I was told.
If this also doesn't work then it might be your hardware.
nothing works :'(

Try flash a stock firmware let it boot and see if the problem persist, if all is OK then flash back to your preferred rom.
@intratech has a lot of roms,modem and guide, search his thread

[Q] Galaxy Ace some kind of network lock

I recently got hands on to my friends Galaxy Ace, who complained that the phone is locked.
When inserted SIM card and dialed, got error "network not available", but the phone shows signal bars.
When dialed *#7465625# to see network locks, it shows that all locks are off?
Any ideas? Should I root the phone?

Root aint gonna help u in anyways!
Check Your Friend IMEI ... *#06#
If Shown only 0000000 at your friends IMEI ... you got your self an expensive brick!
If not try with other sim card ... if all locks are off, phone is unlocked for sure! you could have a modem problem
It shows phone full IMEI code.
OK try this,
go to settings > wireless & networks > mobile networks > network operators
once you tap on that it will search and find all the available operators choose the one that is yours or try some others. My friend had same kinda problem but he is in another country and well this is the way he managed to solve his problem. so try it. and if I helped press the thanks button thank you.
Good luck ;-)

you have two more options either try a different network as said above or change your ROM. if those don't work then its a hardware error. which unfortunately we cant do anything about it.
good luck ;-) if that helps the thanks button is the way to help back.

____________________________________________
it depends on what you would expect from a ROM. performance or battery life or look or ...
here r my suggestions:
miracle edition v4 (performance is good so is the battery life and its ics themed so its at the top in my list) >>>I'm a link ;-)<<<
Jusada's ORIGINAL ICS Final (performance really good and battery life is good and its ics themed but you may run into stability issues if you over clock and use the phone continuously. but overall its cool also its got cool transition animations that most other roms don't) >>>I'm a link ;-)<<<
or you may use the official cyanogenmod ok? let me know if you need any help with flashing roms. ;-). In additions if I helped pressing the thanks button is the way to help back around here.

Hi RaidoRi, did you ever manage to find a solution to this problem? I am experiencing the the exact same issue - I am trying to get a Swiss Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i phone+ Mucho (Swiss) SIM to operate in Canada - I HAVE to get it to work for a personal reason... I also have "Network Lock is [OFF] after dialing *#7465625# and I have a full IMEI (not just 000's).... The network that the phone selects automatically does not work with the Swiss SIM ... (The phone only works with "Rogers", and the Mucho SIM will only work with "Bell Canada" - because that is the company that Mucho's parent, Swisscom, has an international relationship with). Do you have any idea how I can get the phone to work and make my Swiss SIM card work here? I have been trying everything for over a year now but cannot seem to find a solution (the latest attempt was asking a friend from Switzerland to mail me a brand new phone and this is what I am now trying to unlock)... Other phones in North America will not recognize the SIM card at all...
Sorry if this is confusing but if anyone can help I would greatly GREATLY appreciate it, and I am sure by now you are all aware that I am not a developer so sorry if my question is kind of all over the place.
Thanks in advance!!

[Q] Fed up with Galaxy Ace

Hi Team,
I have heard lot about this forum and hope to get some gud suggestions from you guys.
I bought my Samsung Galaxy ace GT-S5830 with android 2.3.6 Gingerbread OS 6 months back but slowly I started facing few problems when my friends noticed and told me that your phone sometimes says switch off.
I also realized that sometimes even if the airtel network is there still i get an error message that mobile network not available I had to switch off the phone to get it normal.
Again people text me but it goes on pending and gets delivered after hours. I showed this problem to the service center they flashed my mobile but the problem persist I also tried changing my sim card but still all in vain. Now i am literally fed up with this phone.
Please assist me I dont know wat to do :crying:
Note: The phone is not rooted.
Thank you
err, are you sure this is because of the phone..? not the network..? because i never face any of the problems you mention..
may be you should try flashing stock rom with newest baseband for your region, find it on sammobile..

He said the service centre guys reflashed the rom. but agree that the sms thing could be network problem.
Faulty battery/pins (Switch offs)
Faulty hardware (Antenna?)
That's all I can identify.
Hi Guys !!!
Thanks for sharing your views
@demiorkan
The mobile automatically does not gets switched off but i need to do it manually as it keeps on prompting the error message "Mobile network not available" though I can see full network on my mobile.
I would really appreciate if I get any suggestions from your side.
Let me know if any more information is required.
If you dont mind you could try flashing another stock rom and see if that works out. If it did not, then it's probably a hardware problem OR the network (as mentioned). Try your SIM card on another phone as well, that should prove if there is problem with the network or not.
Mostly it might be a firmware problem. Service center might not have flashed a new firmware but simply wiped and gave back. (can't be sure on that). So I recommend on using ODIN and flash new firmware. Google is your best friend on this.
Secondly about the network, Turn on flight mode once and turn it off, you'll get the signal. You can even do some debugging by going to the testing menu (*#*#4636#*#*) and toggle the radio and the preferred connection type and stuff. But if the place where you are is such that you get low signal, then don't try any things on phone as it's ultimately the network problem. Trust Me, the place where I stay, I rarely get proper reception and Even I'm on the same network. Flight Mode trick saves the unnecessary reboot.
