[Q] Internet Troubleshooting

I just bought this new phone 14days ago. I got my number transferred from a prepaid to a new simcard. Everything was good until they actually ported my number to the new simcard. After that i have NO internet at all.
I have a 3G icon and can call/sms but as i try open the browser it says. The page cannot be find. Also when i turn my phone off and on it says after i dialed my pincode: Error cant apply settings to modem.
My provider is T-mobile here from the netherlands, they had some interference at the beginning at the week, but i spoke with them today and they can see everything should work. I tried to make a new APN with the guidance from T-mobile but it dosent help. Also rebooted it 4 times from fabric settings, still nothing.
Can say that i havent done anything with the phone, its not hacked/rooted or whatever. Basically in same shape as when i bought it.
I read another tread that also descripes the problem i have but these phones are rooted, and didnt really get any solution out of it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-995363.html
Dont know if its any help, but i can connect to the internet with my WIFI connection at home.
Does anyone have ANY idea to what i can do?
Thanks in advance!

Maybe also nessasary to mention i DID put my SIM in another device. Still same outcome. NO internet still

Well if you haven't got data on the other phone either then I am pretty sure its a sim/provider issue and has got nothing to do with your phone at all

Yea you would think that, they told me in the store today that was not the case. Funny thing is i tryed to switch it again into another devince, and still nothing. However, as I went into the store i got a new simcard that didnt fix the prob. Suspecting some internal flaw?
Anyway, gonna call LG and use my vip change possibility so we'll see if its the device itself or not.
T-mobile offcourse claims that its a software prob, as this often happens on first batch phones

your sim card does not allow connection to this network

My HTC Incredible S signal bar got cross and mobile say out service area.
When I manually try to select network it says 'sim card does not allow connection to this network'
I have installed 3,4 ROMs but same issue, tried different radios but same issue.
Also tried *#*#4636#*#* thing, turned off then on radio many times but no use.
Any help will be highly appreciated!
One thing to note is that I can connect GPRS/ EDGE and browse normally without any issue still it shows no signal, but when try to make a call it says out of service area.
Also when phone restarts it locks on to network showing signals. but as soon as i make call signals are lost.
Awaiting help..

have u put the back part (the part which u seperate the phone to remove the battery) together firmly? that happened to me and as soon as i clicked the case together it worked!

Are you sure you have a SIM unlocked IncS? Sounds like it may be SIM locked.

Sim card might have issues. Have you tried another one or sim in another phone?

I agree with this. I had this problem when i had to swap SIMs due to a plan change. Got a DOA SIM resulting in this guy's same symptoms.

Thank you all for the replies, BUT I have tried all 5 carriers available in my country. The behavior is same for all SIMs. I bought unlocked Inc S. There is no doubt that it is locked because this strange behavior occurred suddenly when i was using my phone as usual. No new application / ROM or anything else was installed. It just suddenly started this behavior.

I think I have to send my device to HTC. At first I was trying to resolve the issue with help of you guys because it has no warranty. I have to pay for all the repair costs.
Anyway please keep me updated if any solution is available.
I'll too inform when my phone gets repaired that what was the issue, which might help some one suffering from same problem.
Thanks!

hmm probably u shuld restore to stock b4 sending to HTC! better chance of fixing it?
Follow this guide!

thank you all for the support
problem was that TELECOM REGULATORY AUTHORITY of our country blocked the set due to some misunderstanding, which was unlocked by them.

[Q][HELP] No Service after S-OFF & ROM installation
Hi,
I have a similar problem. My sister just bought a gently used Canadian Incredible S. It was unlocked and working fine on her carrier, Fido, but was running Gingerbread. Since the carrier doesn't offer this model, I decided to root it and install a custom ROM. I tried following THIS guide, but I rapidly ran into problems. I have to say it was my first time. First, the dev unlock failed with a simple "[ERR] Command error!!!" in fastboot. I did a search and finally realised my HBOOT was already at 1.13.0000 and that it was impossible to dev unlock. I also read that S-OFF was equivalent so I skipped the unlock and tried to flash the recovery, but that failed too. Then, I decided to skip Nonverbose's script and the RUU and use Revolutionary to S-OFF and install the recovery software. That worked so I installed Superuser, the ViperVIVO 1.3.0 ROM and did all the wipes. The phone works fine but it doesn't pick any signal. I flashed a new radio, the 11M, redid the APN settings and changed to WCDMA only with the secret code, but nothing works. I finally restored to the Gingerbread backup, but there still is no service. Any help would be greatly appreciated to understand and fix the problem.
Thank you!

[HELP] Sim Locked!!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!

This morning I updated my note to 4.0.4
After updating it suddenly I wasn't able to make any calls or messages. I did some research and I have discovered that my phone had suddenly re-locked itself and is unable to allow my sim to work with it.
After doing more research I have rooted my phone and tried the Galaxy S unlock (which supposedly worked with the Note), and ended up with something like the attached picture. I see random icons but no specific code.
Here's a little background info that may be useful.
I bought this phone over in HK while I was there for vacation. The network lock occured when I first bought the phone but then the store that I bought it from found a way to fix it (without rooting the phone). Even when I upgraded to the OTA ICS there was no problem at all. I don't know why suddenly with this minor update it reset the network settings.
When I look into the mobile networks on my phone's settings a window pops up saying "Insert SIM card: Insert SIM card to access network services".
Which to me was kind of weird since I have inserted my sim into another phone and is able to make phone calls just fine.
Please help me! I have no way of contacting that store that I bought the phone from and I'm in need of getting my phone to work asap.
I am not lazy or anything, I have spent the last few hours trying to figure out how to solve this problem.
I have no experience in flashing a new rom and I really don't intend to do so unless i have no other choice.

You can - I believe - Downgrade to GB and run the unlock tool mentioned in that thread then upgrade again to your ICS..

Will this help?

[Q] i9000T No signal help

I have a Samsung i9000T that I recently bought from a lady who said she forgot her password to it so she couldn't unlock it. So I bought it and tried factory resetting it so I could sell it to a friend of mine who wants to upgrade from an iPhone 3G. Well factory resetting did nothing, I did some digging and found out that it's a common problem for i9000's to have a csc file corruption. So I decided to flash, via odin, a stock firmware to the device. The firmware I decided on was a UK firmware because I couldn't find an american firmware for it. The flash was successful and I was able to boot the phone no problem. A weird thing was that all of the lady's data was still on the phone, so I contacted her and told her I could backup all of her pics and give them to her, which she happily said yes to. After that, I rooted the phone and installed cwm and then flashed Slim rom android 4.2.1 to the device. I then put a backup sim of mine in the phone and tested the phone. The problem I am having is I don't get any signal on the phone what so ever. I have all the ATT apn's on the phone and they look to be correct.
My question is, having flashed a UK firmware before anything somehow messed up the ability to connect to ATT here in the USA? And what course of action should I take to correct the issue with no signal? My friend is in the military and is being mobilized on the 1st of march so I would like to have a working phone for him before then as I will not see him for some time after.
Any help will be gratefully appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Just a question, has she ever reported it stolen? Has the IMEI number been blocked?
Find out the IMEI number and contact the original Network Supplier that the phone was used on and as them to check this. They'd be able to tell you if there are any issues.
Not trying to worry you but it happened to me. I had to return the phone.

I know the imei, but I don't know the original carrier for the phone... I assume it was ATT because that is the dominant carrier in my area. I'll get in touch with the lady I bought it from and see for sure.
On another note, I've tried testing the internal antenna by inserting a wire into the external port, but still no signal.
I'm going to try completely starting over and see how it goes this time.

Ok, so this thread can be closed now. I've solved the problem.. and feel like such a noob for some reason I was kinda spot on with what i thought was wrong but I had such a hard time finding files to fix it... untill i found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494493
AMAZING guide. Fixed my problem right up. Running 3G here in Texas on ATT. My friend will be so happy that he gets to take an android back over-seas with him.
Thanks to all of those who helped, I greatly appreciate it.

help me please!!!!!! galaxy note 5 signal problems.

Hello. First of all, I searched the threads before posting to no avail. So if I'm being repetitive I apologize. But here's the problem. I have a t mobile galaxy note 5. Unlocked. It's rooted. Running an arter97 kernel, and Jovys Darkstalker kernel mod. Everything is running smoothly and has been for months. Recently the only problem is my signal. 90% of the time it is saying searching. When I make a call it says not registered on a network. This is strange because I have done nothing to cause this change. No new roms, mods, updates, nothing and it's been working fine all this time. I know it is not location related because it was working 100% fine from day one until now. I tried *#06# to see if my imei was null, it is not.
I let the phone search, and then choose an operator, that works temporarily giving me signal, but eventually goes back to, and stays searching. I tried to pull up the service menu using *#*#4636#*#* to reset the radio, but that number is not pulling up the menu. I was told I may have a bad efs, but I never created a backup because until now I never had this problem and didn't know efs existed . I don't know what my next step should be. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!
Sn: if there is already a solution to this problem on this forum send me a link please!

Try using the Shortcut Master (Lite) to pull up the service menu.

I've also got same issue.
My phone is n920c. I've spent all day trying fix this issue by new rom, but I didn't find solution yet.
Kind Regards,
Marcin

Where did you buy your phone? Why don't you check to see if it's blacklisted first (maybe it took a little while to get listed). Never ceases to amaze me the number of people selling stolen/balance owing phones, or the number of people buying them, for that matter:
http://www.t-mobile.com/VERIFYIMEI.ASPX

Very true. I think i may have solved the problem though. My phone was bought outright through tmobile. I try not to by second hand phones for that exact reason.

I think i have may have found my the solution. For me it was a sim card related issue. Apparently my sim card was exhausted, or had expired. This is why my phone kept dropping me from the network and i had to keep reconnecting. Accordind to t mobile your sim expires 90 days of no use. This dodnt apply to me but whatever. Got a new sim, transfered the number, problem solved. Also something else that greatly boosetd my service. Take the case off. This was why i got the searching status in low service areas and only 2 bars of service in good reception areas. Crazy that in 2015 cases still affect service but it did greatly. So yea my fix was a new sim and take the case off. Very elementary. But i can say it was not root, kernel related thank god :good:
