Please help, put in Sim card, shows 'no service'

Hi
I just got on at&T 8925, I put in sim card and it did not ask for unlock code, so I guess it is unlocked, I put in my sim card (Fido Canada,works in other phone) and it show "no service" can not find phone network signal.
I tried
ATT ROM 1.57.502.2 and
RUU_Kaiser_ROGERS_WWE_1.83.631.4_radio_sign_22.51.88.13_1.27.15.32R_Test.exe
radio 1.27.12.11 and 1.27.15.32
all same problem.
Can anyone help me, are these rom combinations not good? or something wrong with the device?
or anything I need to do?
thank you for your help !

Try another known-good SIM card. If you still cannot get service, then you probably have a hardware issue with the phone.

Sounds stupid, but did you make sure you put the SIM in the right way around.
You wouldn't believe how many people have not done this right.

Sounds like it's not unlocked... when I got mine it wasn't unlocked but it only asked for a code once.... just run the unlocker to be sure...

maybe to hard reset?

Hi thanks for everyone's help.
I think I put the sim card the right way , otherwise it will show 'no sim card'
I am keep trying other rom/radio; still no luck, it either keep searching or say 'no service'
I really hope it is not hardware problem.
hope if anyone has the experience and could help me
it really confuse me.
Thanks

welll this might be a little solution i read in another thread...sum times the phone will not read the sim becuz its not making enough contact to the phone...so maybe a little piece of paper on top of the sim then put it in the phone MIGHT help..if it doesnt then ur phone is jacked up =P
or
when i put my tmobile sim in my unlocked 8925 it worked and then a couple our couldnt get n e service... and i checked my brothers phone and dad and they didnt have service too... so maybe sumtimes the network will nto work for a while. or sumthing

If you go in the phone options and do a manual network search, does it find anything?

Thanks brian_v3ntura:
but I tried paper, same thing, maybe not be contact problem.
Thanks kilrah:
I tried that, it shows " cannot read setting from network, try viewing setting later or disconnect data connection and try again."
I did saw something online that maybe because the Fido sim card maybe old (about 3 years), but it did work with sth. like Samsung blackjack II. maybe Kaiser is more complicated.
just wonding if anyone have experience that old sim card may have problem with new phones.
I will keeping trying...

My SIM card is about 4 years old.
I'd bet your Kaiser has a hardware problem.

Hi, guys
I tried a friend's Fido sim card, it works, I don't what's the difference, but it is just like that, maybe I should go get a new card.
Thanks everyone.

good
as one of the boys ur sim might be damaged/old (power failure issues most likely)

yeah, just what confused me is that the sim card still work with my other phones.

Hey guys,
Long time lurker here... and I'm having the same problem.
I have a foreign (Cyprus CytaMobile Vodaphone) SIM in my Kaiser. A couple times over the last few days I was getting the "no service" but if I reset (turn on/off) the device it was fine. Today I cannot get service on it at all. I tried it in an unlocked 1G iPhone and it didn't seem to work either.
I thought maybe the SIM is dead, however when the device it's in starts up, it asks me for the PIN set on the SIM card. I enter the PIN, and it unlocks the SIM. How could the SIM be dead if the PIN authenticates? However, when I put my regular Canadian Rogers SIM in, it works fine.
Where it usually says "Searching.." on the home screen, I once got "Denied, searching.." but I haven't been able to reproduce it.
Any ideas? The provider doesn't have a local roaming agreement, however for the past year it has always registered on the network and allowed me to check balance and send text messages.
Is it most likely a dead SIM or blocked by Rogers? I'm doubting the blocked part, but the successful PIN entry is what has me baffled...
Thanks!
Chris

Ok different SIM card also from Cyprus Cytamobile in a SE w810 does the same thing. Is Rogers seriously all of a sudden blocking these? There is no local roaming agreement, however I would always get the Rogers welcome text's and even be able to check balances. I've been doing this off and on for 4 years...
Anyone ever heard of something like this?
Thanks,
Chris
P.S. Sorry, getting a bit off topic but I thought the initial problem was related!
EDIT: Ok, I can also see all the SIM contacts and SMS messages stored on the SIM.

I also have the same problem with my tytn, I have a bad feeling it is hardware If you manage to find the problem please let me know. I have tried the paper thing and also all new firmware and OS nothing helps

Try setting it to GSM only (disable 3G) and see what happens.
To do that go to Settings->Personal->Phone->Band->Network Type=GSM.
If it works then, you might want to read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=419803

No Service- HELP!!!

I bought new TyTN II, and when I insert my sim card, he doesn't recognize it, in the top of the screen is text NO SERVICE. In the start/settings/connesctions/connection setup, there is no my country to select, or my operater. Does the new cooked ROM may solve my problem? Please help...

Does it say no sim card, or just no service. If it doesn't recognize the sim card. then it is probably sim locked. If it recognizes the sim card, but just offers no service, it could just be your connection settings.

Hello,
I didn't want to start a new thread, because this one is somehow connected with my problem
So here it is:
I've been using my phone for about a month, it used to show full network ect. My friend gave me an anthenna for gsm mobiles (well, sometimes it didnt work properly when I was in the basement i.e.) so i tried it. Worked perfectly, except it was sticking out. So i thought that I don't want to use it and disconected it. Since then it shows no service, sometimes "1 dot" in network display. Tried hard reset - didn't work. When i put the anthenna back, it shows full network again.
Please, tell me, what should I try.
Thank you in advance

I seem to recall reading somewhere here that once you put in an external antenna, something gets tripped and the phone will only work with an external antenna from that point on.
Sorry -- don't recall any details. Try searching.

xperia x1 not detecting some sim card

hi friends. i have a very strange problem with my x1. it works well with my sim but when i insert my brother's sim card in it, it simply says "the sim card is missing". i know his sim card is good because is works on his phone. since then i have tried a couple of sim cards in it and it detects some and rejects others. i don't know why i won't detect all sim cards. i live in mauritius and i bought this x1 from uk and i think the seller unlocked it before shipping. i don't know on which network it was before. i have tried many custom roms, the problem remains. has anyone encountered a problem like this before? thanks for your help.
i'm sorry this should have been in the general section.

MOD EDIT - Moved to General discussion

i have same crap . my sim card is missing.
So, i called se service center and they told that the phone will be exchanged.
and i can choose u1 satio or x2 sense they did not have x1 in stock.
Whot should i choose?

X2 sense? sense ui is from htc. i think you mean xperia x2. well it depends on how you use your phone. if you like winmo then better get the x2. but if you want a fast interface and excellent camera then go for the satio. both are great phones. its a hard decision to make. it's up to you to decide.

i have a problem like this
sometimes my X1 signal becomes very weak and after 5 second it became strong again
i try lasets official ROM and thi same problem
now i instal old Radio-s but thi same reason
tomorrow i will try to change SIM card hope it will fix this problem.
and also anyone know what ind of simphtoms have phone when someone is listening to your Call-s?
`Sorry for my bad engish

had that issue with all HTC phones I had some older sim cards are simply not compatible with HTC's sure fix was to get a new sim from the phone company

well , i tryed 3 sim cards that work in other phones, but not in my x1.
its phones fault.

i send my phone to a repair shop, they told me that maybe my phone was not fully unlocked because it was locked on a network before i bought it. i left my phone there. hope they solved the problem.

i have this problem when i activate the 3G. if i disable the 3G network the signal strength is pretty stable. but this depends on your location. in my location 3G network is not very strong.
and for your 2nd question, its impossible to know if someone is listening to your phone calls. is also very difficult for someone tapping your phone calls unless the cia, fbi,..

About ready to give up, lol. Hopefully someone can help!!

I know I have other threads on this but decided to give all my symptoms and what I have done up till now in one thread.
Ok, so to begin........ I had the power button problem on my Captivate as well as other problems, phone would get hot and smell and do weird things. So I decided to buy a broken phone off ebay and change out the motherboard.
I swapped boards and the new board had a lock on it so I couldnt get into the phone so I restored it to factory defaults. After that I was able to get into the phone and it works great except for the fact it will not connect to the network! So I have a camera and a wifi device.
Here is a list of problems I see.....
When phone boots up without sim card it doesnt ask for a sim card to be inserted
when sim card is inserted it doesnt read it (card and card holder work fine on other motherboard)
No network but wifi works fine
Baseband version - unkown
phone number - unknown
mobile network type - unknown
service state - out of service
mobile network state - disconnected
imei - unknown
imei sv - unknown
I have tried pretty much everything I have read on the forum....
Rooted phone and installed a custom rom and corn kernel - no luck
Mobiletechvideo method - no luck
moved efs folder from old motherboard to new motherboard - no luck
did a CWM backup on old motherboard and copied it to new motherboard and ran CWM recovery - no luck
tried Galaxy S unlock and no matter what I do only get the FFFFFF code
Flashed other modems - no luck
in hex editor my nv_data.bin files look fine.......
00188008|2e|34|00|00|00|00|ff|41|.4....A
00188010|54|54|00|00|00|00|53|47|TT....SG
00188018|48|2d|49|38|39|37|5a|4b|H-I897ZK
00188020|41|41|54|54|00|00|00|00|AATT....
So anyway, Im at the end of my rope so hopefully I can get some insight before I just give up (which I keep saying I'm going to do but havent yet, lol)
Thanks!

It may not matter, but have you tested someone else's SIM card in the phone that's not detecting yours? If it won't read two different cards, but all the software parts are looking like they're functioning correctly, it's possible you have a lemon SIM card reader.
I don't know if that's something that could be replaced, but if you test it and it won't read the second card, it might be worth getting in contact with Josh (connexion2005) at mobiletechvideos to see if replacing the SIM card reader is something they can do.

Yes I have tested other sim cards and they dont work either. I had thought of this too but I put the sim card reader/holder on the other motherboard and it reads fine.

Here's an interesting twist......
started looking around in root explorer and looked at dev/block, only folder in there is dev/block/void and it is empty. Maybe this could be the cause? If so anyone know how to fix it, lol

This very well may be a modem defect. Do you have the background story for how it became this way?

It was a phone with a broken screen I bought off ebay, took the motherboard out and put it in my phone which has a bad motherboard. Hasnt worked since I switched it out so that as far back as I can go. If it was a modem defect would the wifi still work?

[Q] No network issue LG Optimus 4x HD

Hi guys,
I have a LG Optimus 4x HD with stock rom (Jelly bean). About three weeks ago, I suddenly lost my network connection and it looked like my phone didn't recognize my SIM card. I put my battery and my Sim out and in my phone, but that didn't help. I tried many SIM cards and they work excellent on my other phone. When I turn my device on It just boots up and doesn't ask for my pin code at all. I see no difference when my SIM card is in or out my device. However, it does recognize my SD card, so I think there is a problem with the software? On the lock screen I just see the message ''no service'' and at the top I see this (first pic). When I try to dial someone it says ''reorganization of internal processes. Try it later.''. I read on a forum that I had to go to ''mobile networks'' in settings, but that isn't possible (pic 2).I also tried to put some paper between my sim card and my sim card slot but that didn't work either. Does someone have this problem too or is there somebody who can help me to solve this problem? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

I discovered that my phone doesn't have an IMEI and IMEI SV code anymore. It also doesn't have an baseband version. Do you guys know this caused the lost of my network connection and does anyone know how I can recover my IMEI number? Finally I managed to enter the mobile networks in settings by do a long tap on the data icon in the notification center. I hope someone can help me.

I have the same problem as you. With every restart the phone is unable to read the sim card. Also the baseband is shown as unknown, and I don't have imei no. The solution for me is to remove the battery, and put the phone in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.(yes in the refrigerator The phone is getting very hot when is searching for network and to have it really cool helps apparently. Try it yourself to see if it does the job for you and let us know.

Thanks for your reply! This morning, my phone finally asked for the first time for the sim password and I finally got a signal. I got my IMEI and my baseband number back. Unfortunately, after an hour or so I tried to send a sms and I wasn't able to send it. I got the error no USIM or so. The IMEI and Baseband number disappeared agian. I turned flightmode on and of and I didn't get a signal again... New today was that I am now unable to connect to multiple wifi networks too. Now my WI-FI MAC-adress is 00:00:00:00:00:00. I already lost the phone and I now also lost the smart part of my smartphone... I also tried to put my phone in the refrigerator but sadly it didn't help. I think I have to buy a new phone....

Sorry to say that "It's time to say goodbye"
I got same problem with you and try all kind of possibility. Here is final verdicts:
- Some phone repairers I know said It's the encrypted baseband partition is damaged, unless you have backup of that, it's a no-go
- I've tried to reflash the phone and it will stuck at 10%, you have to push really hard at some point at the back to make is flashable. After that, the signal back on with baseband and IMEI.... but only for a few restarts it will be gone

Hi blbterminator,
I already said goodbye to my p880 (has been replaced for the G3), but thanks for your reply. Now it's clear for me that's it's a hardware issue.
Maybe do you know if this problem only affects the lg p880 or other brands or models too?
Many thanks!
