[Q] Fed up with Galaxy Ace - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Nexus one not reconnecting to mobile network

My N1 will not reconnect to a mobile network if it has been sitting for a few hours in a no-coverage area, such as a building. I cannot get it to reconnect, even after refreshing the network search. This action only leaves me with no result or a message saying that there was an error in searching or connecting to mobile networks. The only solution is to restart the phone. Every time I try to turn the phone off after this error has occurred, the shutdown sequence hangs until either I become frustrated and do a battery pull, or it automatically restarts and do a battery pull, or it automatically restarts itself. Furthermore, the phone used to give me an error notification saying that the phone does not have carrier service. Now, it does not. Furthermore, the phone used to give me an error notification saying that the phone does not.
I tried uninstalling all my programs and nothing has worked for me. I've also tried toggling the airplane mode to no avail.
I'm considering putting on the cyanogen ROM to see if it would fix this error, but I am hesitant to void my warranty. It's a pretty serious problem as I'm very frequently in a building where I don't get service. It's quite frustrating to have to wait to reconnect to a mobile network once I leave the building and hope that the error didn't occur or have to do a battery pull every time I realize that the phone simply won't reconnect.
Can anyone suggest any solutions?
Mod it. What have you got to lose? Your overall performance will increase. The radio signal may even improve. Your call.

thanks for the tip. i've been thinking about it. it's the warranty i don't want to lose. eh i'll keep thinking about it.
this phone sucks. it's glitchy, can be sluggish. iphone got dumbed down but at least its functions work.
meh
Hey!
You dont want to lose your warranty, then use it!
Your phone seems to be faulty...
My phone is experiencing the same problem as of yesterday. Won't connect. Wonder if it's a T-Mobile issue.

Its only glitchy coz you have stock rom
Cyanogen is really stable and adds alot of features / functionality.
Fair enough you dont want to lose warranty but i remember in the general thread that lots of hardware failures and others can still fix your n1 under warranty even though they unlocked the bootloader.
I too have this problem, hopefully the 2.2 update will fix the problems.
Can you guys confirm if its android or your service provider thats causing this...

I have the same problem and it's starting to bother me a lot because my car is parked in a garage with no coverage. My in-car BT then becomes useless as my phone won't reconnect to the network once I exit the garage
I just called Google support 10 mins ago about this and they went through normal protocol to reset to factory settings. They then called Tmo and let them know what the issue was while I was still on the phone. Tmo unregistered my phone from the network while my battery was taken out of my phone and then reregistered my phone to the network. Tmo asked me to monitor this for a few days and call them directly (not Google) if the issue persists. They will then elevate this to a higher level because they feel this would be a network problem, and not a hardware issue.
Hope this helps! Please post what you have tried to solve the problem!

^ it worked! my phone reconnects to the cellular network after what Google/Tmo did for me on the phone!
I haven't tried calling tmobile, but it is NOT something that will be fixed by hopping on cyanogen's rom. I've been rooted on cyanogen's rom for quite some time and this problem still exists on my n1 which is SUPER annoying. I will try calling tmobile to see if they can fix it on their side, but rooting is not the fix here.
I had the same issue. I used anycut and phone info shortcut and changed the wireless default setting to us and it totally fixed the problem. Have not had that issue again.

I resolved this by going to the T-Mobile store where they replaced my SIM card. They made a copy to a new SIM card, installed it and everything works fine.
For the record symptoms included:
* "Error while searching for network" message
* Found networks but said "your SIM card is not authorized for this network" when connecting
* Network listed as "No service" or "Emergency calls only | T-Mobile"
I get this too with an at&t phone.
Have asked for a replacement device from HTC (since the reception is crappy to begin with).
I also have audio quality problems when reception is only 1-2 bars.
Will see if the new phone is better.
I had this problem regularly. It hasn't happened once since I upgraded to Froyo, so I think it has been fixed in that release.
sometimes have this too, i fix it by going to the settings > wireless > mobile networks > APN. at first i deleted and retyped my password in the selected APN, now i just click my network in the APN settings, don't change anything and leave. It immediately reconnects after that.
edit: and i have stock froyo & live in belgium.
I got a new, replacement phone from HTC today.
This new phone has a BIG PROBLEM with this issue.
Even if I am only without reception for a couple of seconds (go through the garage, etc.) it will not connect to any network until I reboot.
My old phone would only experience this problem maybe 25-35% of the time.
Very, very annoying!!!

I had similar issues and called tmobile support. I was first linked to Google support. They went through the similar process as described by in the first page. (#*#*4636*#*# select USA band etc). While I was on hold, they called t mobile tech support and had them reset network connection and tried to get me onto a different tower etc.
Tmobile support stated that my sim card (had for about 2 years) was the cause of the issue as they can't handle smartphones as well as their new sim cards. They also said the new sim should improve reception and connection stability (Don't see how a new sim could do this but what do I know?). Moreover, they noted my account and told me to go into the nearest store for a new sim card. Went into the nearest tmobile store told them the issue, they pulled up my account and gave me a new sim. Took less then 5 minutes and I have not had the issue with staying connected to the tmobile network.
I will update this after a few days to see if I still have the issue.
I have the same problems that i cannot connect to network here in germany. first i think it was my sim card, but befor i had another provider (E-Plus) where i had the same problems with reconnecting to network. and one day my eplus sim card is broken so i had to buy a new one by t-mobile. i have tried a lot of roms from here (cyanogen/ 5.0.7 /5.0.8T5 Kangorama rodriquezstyle and leofroyo) everyone seems to have the same problems with reconnecting to network. i hope im not alone with my problems and someone can help.
hmm...
Count me as another. I just upgraded to froyo and it went beserk. Had no service for a while. It would only come on after constantly tapping "select network automatically" until it kicked me out of the menu. It started getting better but kept kicking me out of 3g. I set it to stay always on 3g and it seems to be better... still I'm going to call tmobile and see if I can get a new sim as well.
Thanks for the info guys!

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)

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...
edit: tried my sim on another phone and another sim on my phone.... it works....wtf?

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] loosing Network Signal and it don't come back!

Hi Folks,
how in the topic, im loosing my signal at point where my signal is weak. if i lost it, i can run around to get it back to write messages or call someone. it doesnt work, because my phone say's "only Emergency calls". i wait one hour but the phone can't connect to my provider. The radio is at the moment 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.12_7, i've already tried newer and older version of the radio img but always the same issue. From the beginning when i had the phone, it sometimes doesn't regognize my sim card, i have tried everything to get it to work (new rom or radio img) but always it fails. on the next day without any changes the phone works again with the same sim card. So now here is my question....... what the HELL can i do to bring it back to work, so it dont lose the signal in weak areas, and if the phone loses it, what shall i do to automaticly reconnect the phone automaticly to the provider. and airplane mode is no soloution for me. thanks for answer.
Have you tried another SIM card in there to see if the problem still occurs?
Sometimes the card itself needs replacing. Just a thought..!
this i havn't tried out yet, but i tried my actual sim card at the phone of my wife and it works a whole day without connection lose. I'm just thinking its a software problem maybe its the wrong radio version.
No "wrong radio version" will lose connection and fail to reconnect.
It's either your ROM or (most probably) HW problem.
You can try to wipe and install a clean ROM and see if the problem persists. If it does - use the warranty.
which rom would u suggest ? I tried CM6 / CM7 / MIUI nearly all modded roms here. The problem is to try out if the rom works i have to go out to a point where the signal ist weak, and hope for a signal lost. Sometimes it works and i get a reconnect to network and sometimes it doesn't work. in zones where the signal is strong i haven't any trouble. Did i get any problems by HTC if my phone is unlocked? I already had it gave to a repair 3 month ago with a broken usb connector and there was no trouble with warranty at unlocked phone but what is now? can they change their opinion ?
I got it. The Problem was the the Phone has to set the Network search to manual and not to automatic search. it works now for over 1 day and it seem that is now no problem with lost signal. Thanks for Help. But i just wondering why i have to chose manual network search an not automatic.

[Q] No GSM signal after doing Factory Reset!!!

Hello everyone, I've a member of this great forum for long time sing HTC HD2.
Recently, I have upgraded my phone from Sensation to Galaxy Note yesterday. I did check everything from store and it work fine. However, After I get home. I have tied to do "Factory Reset" then the phone got no GSM signal.. when I do check with *#*#4636#*#* it say "Unknown" in Radio mode (the icon on top of screen it look like "Not parking" road sign with out "P").
The only I can get the GSM signal back is taking the battery out for 5 mins then put it back.
Also it will getting worst if I do try to enable "Airplane Mode". because it will make phone unable to get out from "Airplane Mode". Only way is take battery out.
Please... Anyone give me feedback on this, I'm not sure it Hardware or software problem. If it hardware... I have to exchange it with it a week.
Thank you very much in advence
PS: I from Thailand user. I thinked the software on phone is Asia version
Try select network operator manually, n also check network mode (select Auto).
from setting - wireless-mobile networks
Thank you for your replied. I have tried everything and no luck. So today I went to service centre and asked them to check it. They said it's hardware problem and arange exchange for a new one. Sadly it's current out of stock @ the shop I bourght so I have to wait for a few day to get a new one.

Try to keep your phone in 2g only mode. When i keep 3g only only mode i sometimes can't receive call from other party. But 2g only mode solved my problem....
Sent from my C6602 using xda app-developers app
How do I shift it to 2g mode?
menu->settings->more..->cellular network->network mode-> Only GSM
PS. type: *#*#4636#*#* and check in "phone info"
signal strength
GSM service(if enabled)
In old galaxy spica I had similar problem and I had disabled GSM(dunno why) and after second full flash of fresh stock ROM It was working again.
its not helping
I tried everything possible.
So maybe we start from beginning...
Few quick question before we can help you:
1. When those problem started?
2. After what? did you flash custom rom or Kernel ?
3. You had any app/script that could modify your phone?
4. You had ANY hardware problem before?
5. Your phone fall to the ground?
6. Did it have any contact with water?
7. What system do you have now.
8. did you check sim slot?
9. do you have signal strength in this menu that i post earlier?
1. This problem started a month back
2. It all started suddenly, I am on the stock rom without root
3. No I dont have any app that can modify my phone
4. Yes I had a faulty battery problem which was fixed
5. NYes once it had but it was a long time back before the problem started.
6. No it did not have contact with water
7 I use the stock android 4.4.4 kitkat
8 Yes I have checked my sim card slot, I have also replaced my sim a couple of times
9. Yes I have signal strength -79dbm and 25 asu
My sim works well with my other phones. Is it a hardware issue?
I think Im getting a clear view of the problem, my phone isnt able to shift from 3g to 2g I guess. I came to this place where only 2g works, I had my network mode setting as Wcdma(preffered)/gsm, its reluctant to shift. Is it a hardware problem?
Hmm.... If you have signal and phone see network its not hardware problem. To be honest its more like system or more specific kernel problem in 4.4.4 I say this because you ares sixth person who i know that have network problem in 4.4.4
For examle after flashing kk on my phone i have looooooots of reboots if i have 3g network on, and my phone swith to 2g if its in sleep mode.
My friend also have problem similar to yours but it cant use phone function if its have LTE enabled.
Best part is that when he flashed 4.3 problem is still there, but he didnt had it before when he had 4.3
I cant flash any other system now(i use phone too often )so i dont know if i also would had this problem...
So if you can, you could flash even 4.2/4.3 full clean rom and check, just to be sure. Its a bit "extream" downgrade but flashing it and checking its max 1h...
Probably like always its small weird bug or specific system setting problem, maybe different region rom...
So for now you could check other rom, even branded and downgrade to your old 4.3 to see if you still have such problem.
Seriously its a relif that its not a hardware problem yet.
I also flashed the lower version of the kernel. I am facing the same problem . I use the local region ROM only,
I think Im gonna give up on sony now
Hi there
You are not alone, I am also facing this issue and do not know how to resolve it too.
Sometimes when I try to call (full bars on) it makes a bipbip then Call not possible...
Same issue while switching from GSM to H... Most of the time I have to reboot and let it settle for a while.
I am suspecting my network provider
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Free mobile app
I called up the service provider, it seem to get fixed for a day but again the same problem continues
I'm tired of this, the phone guys can't do anything and neither can the service providers
Such an irritating bug by sony
Did anyone get a solution to this problem?
This is very annoying
Same problem,posible solution temporary.
