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...
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.

Same is happening to me. Serive state says out of service so could registering the sim card to phone be the actual isuue?
Hello, my dear talent xda delevelpers,
I bought a T-mobile HD7 online few days ago, and i am using it in China now, the operator is China Mobile. I face some troubles these days, and i am searching the whole world but i can't get the answers, please help out.
1. How to identify HD7 is unlock or not? Then i know if i need to unlock it.
2. I could not get any date service (Wifi is not available for me), i am sure i input the correct APN but no data service in HTC HUB/marketplace/Emails, ect. Data connection of the same SIM card works on my old phone O2 Xdalli perfectly, but not on HD7. Is it because of not unlock or how can i get advance settings?
3. I heard that there is "CONNECTION SETUP" on other HD7s, but i cann't find it in marketplace or HTC webside, can somebody send me this app? maybe i can solve the data connection problem with it. Also, i want an "ATTENTIVE PHONE" app, please send me as well if you have.
4. My last question is, i got a T-mobile SIM card in the box, is it come along with any balance or package? Can I use it in China by roaming?
Waiting anxiously and really appreciate your help. Thank you so much.
1.Try putting your local sim-card ,if there is no network then yours is locked.
2.For data connection , I got HTC Connection Setup.
You can download it from Marketplace.(its under HTC apps)
Since you dont have Wi-fi I recommand you do this setup at your friends,Or at some internet center.
3.Sorry I dont think its currently possible to send over apps.You have to get it from Marketplace yourself.
4.As for the last question , hy dont you try using the T-Mo card and see what happens

1. Yes i am using my local SIM and got good reception, calls and SMS works fine, is that mean i got HD7 unlock? How to identify lock or unlock?
2. Still i could not find connection setup from marketplace app. Under genres, there is "tools", and i rolled so many pages but i cant not find. I searched also, there is only an app named "student connection", do you have an address? or tell me how to find it?
3. I successfully make it prison break, haha
I will try my T mobile SIM later, and see what happens ：）
OK, I successfully flash ROM, the SingTel version:
RUU_Schubert_hTC_Asia_SEA_WWE_1.57.728.02_Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10_Signed
And there is "connection setup", hahaaaaaaaa, i got the GPRS data connection.

Sorry
Hi,
I am sorry but I am new to this can you tell me how to know the ROM. BTW its recently upgraded to Android4.0.3...
Yea this is mostly because of tata docomo's ****ty network. The only way is to restart.
Go to select network operator and select TATA DOCOMO. It works sometimes . Not always
Press power button.... Activate flight mode then deactivate.... No need to reboot...
Hi @chintamanijaipuri,
I already tried this thing ..but it wont work..
I took it to service center they said its a software issue but after service also the problem still persists..this phone becomes boring without Internet..
Please tell me if it is network problem or any other issue...
I have attached a scrshot if u want to see the error
Go to apps, find the dialer app and clear cache and data. This will reconfigure you're data connection.

Do u mean this??
Hi Spydertracks,
PFA ... did u mean this app ..but options for clearing data are disabled ...
Go to APN setting and reset to default it will let you pick your network provider after. Then, if this doesn't solve it, find the APN for your provider and manually insert them.

Not working
Hi Braxos,
tried this just now..not working...
So it was working and all of the sudden stopped? Ymmv did you try to remove the Sim card clean it abut and reapply it? And if you have another Sim try that too.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
usually works
Hi Braxos,
It usually works but as the network goes and comes back say while I'm driving after that it won't come back again.
all apps who need net will show "network not available" the 'E' sign disappears from the phone.
after I restart it, it starts working...
does the sim card has any effect on this...?
It shouldn't have! That indicates to a bad radio or network in your area. Suggest to try a different provider and see if the problem persists. And Sim can influence the reception if it doesn't have a good contact to the motherboards pins.

Hi Braxos,
Many thanks for ur quick replies...
that means i can assume its not my phone but its the network who is the culprit...
will surely try with a diff network service provider and let u know..!!

No problem mate I hope it isn't the phones antenna and it is your provider/Sim card as you said you took it to a service center, and of your picture I see 2 from max 4 of the signal strength and assuming this isn't hspa! You should have at least edge speeds on it. Did you upgrade the firmware of the phone? Via kies! There was some firmwares with crappy modem.open settings go to about phone and post a screenshot of it plz
Thanks

Chk this scrchot attached..
I didn't updated it. i gave it to service center people they have done the upgrade..
Now open dialer and give *#0228# don't press anything just take a screenshot to see the mode of the network you are and the strength of the signal provided. At least for me the ics modem sucks, the lc1 on last GB German version was awesome.

Hey check the scrshot
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.

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!!

I am having this same issue. I have spammed the connect button and gotten it to work, but that's all. I don't know if disabling the tethering guard would work or not, but that would require root. I just got the phone yesterday, so I haven't had a chance to root it yet.
ok just got off the phone, 70 min later, and she told me that they submited a case order that will "put their top scientists on it". (my words not theirs lol)
i will be contacted within 48 hours with an update, she said.

When you do the three finger swipe or click on the notification, it will take you to the media output menu, I have gotten it to connect by clicking clicking on the panel that says media link device. Normally, when it tries to connect, I get the message that says I need to contact AT&T to allow mobile hotspots, but sometimes after I click cancel and immediately try to reconnect, I am able to bypass the message and it connects. This is rare, so no, I would not say that it is working. I tried configuring the media link with my mobile data turned off, but for some reason, it appears like it is required.
