Hi guys,
My unrooted S3 recently, even after replacing the SIM card, is giving me an "Emergency Calls Only" status in the notification shade, and even after restarting the phone, reinserting the sim card, and locking and unlocking the sim card pin, this message still shows and it's really frustrating because I can't make calls or text messages
Can anyone help me? I desperately need help and I really don't want to replace the phone. What's even more frustrating is that my brother has the exact same phone bought at the exact same time and hasn't encountered any problems whatsoever.
Thanks

Actually I found a fix i just went to Settings > More settings > Mobile networks > Network operators and found the appropriate network and now it's working again

Hello,
i've just upgraded to the latest official OTA FW 3.08.405.3
Sense3.0 is great, but i cannot turn on mobile network anymore - i tried it both via Quick settings and Wireless settings menus - it cannot be enabled. And even worts is that it doesn't report any error msg and the 3G sign doesn't appear on status bar. There is noting in the log too...
Does anyone has the same problem?
I just wrote a mail to HTC support, but don't know if they track this as support channel...
This is terrible - i can't live without mobile network connection ...please help!

This might sound weird, but is there anything in APN setting?
Try to mess with the toggles. I have had similar problem. I constantly turned airplane mode on/off and switched from GSM to WCDMA. Finally it goes, if this isn't related to apn. Hope i helped.
10x a lot guys !
it didn't recover APN settings after upgrade
I previously checked them, and assumed that check-box is selected, but actually it was not. It should be colored in green, but actually it was in grey
Unable to re-enable Mobile Network for data-only SIM Japan -- possible bug?
Having a similar problem, some more details:
PHONE:
I am using an unlocked (but unrooted) Incredible S from Virgin Mobile Canada with a data-only BMobile SIM in Japan (runs on DoCoMo's network apparently). Android 2.3.3 (Virgin Canada circa August 2011).
PROBLEM:
Mobile Network intermittently gets disabled and cannot be re-enabled normally. APN is fine, SIM card (phone number) is still detected. Toggling Airplane Mode or Wireless Network does not work, Select Automatically returns "unable to connect, try again later", Search Networks and choosing DoCoMo returns "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network".
SOLUTION:
Only reproducible solution is to remove data-only SIM, insert voice&data SIM (from my SoftBank phone), now Mobile Network is available so re-enable it, power down and replace data-only SIM. Once restarted Mobile Network automatically enables. Obviously this is not a convenient fix.
Once was fixed by randomly hitting network settings in frustration, but I have not been able to reproduce this solution.
OBSERVATION:
When on wireless, Mobile Network is also greyed out. When Wireless Network is disabled, Mobile Network automatically enables properly (for the most part, at least once I suspect it did not).
Thus I feel like it's a bug, either in OS or DoCoMo's network, but BMobile and HTC both point the finger at each other and have no useful suggestions for me.
ASIDE:
I hear Android 2.3.5 is available for Incredible S, perhaps this fixes the problem. However, this update has not appeared in my updater -- is it possible that because I'm unlocked I've lost access to the update server?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
mobile network disconnected
Have also the same problem, tried all the above suggestions but none works. Phone only shows limited service but with x on the signal bar. BUt when i try to tap the sim tool kit, it displays "SIM toolkit not ready or unsupported".
Hope somebody here can help me. Thanks

Hi guys,
I'm having network connection problems I recently purchased my RAZR I, was informed it was unlocked,
however when I insert my 3 sim, I get the message " Cannot connect to network at this time, please try again later" !
The phone doesn't display any sim error messages, I've purchased a 16 digit unlock code, in case its locked,
but am unable to enter it into the phone as no error screens pop up, I've tried android codes which are
supposed to "call" the "enter code"scene, but without success.
I can't find a working code for the "engineer mode" either....
I've changed radio mode to "gsm only" (I'm in the UK)...
I've rebooted, factory reset....etc etc
Phone info screen states... Network unconnected
GPRS. off
I'm at a loss... How do I remove the "little red triangle", emergency calls only & connect to a network so I can use the phone.

Which software is installed?
Which provider do you try to use?
Is the sim card working in an other phone?
If you manually search for a network, do you get any choice?
Phone is running stock ROM ... Jelly bean.
I'm trying to use my Three Network sim which works fine in other phones.
I've manually searched networks... Results show 3, Vodophone, o2 & Orange... Selecting 3 brings up same "cannot connect at this time...." message.
I've checked APN settings, they're as they should be !
Thanks for quick response...

Which exact software is running? Please the full image string.
That would show for which country/continent the phone is setup. Maybe you also just need to call Three Network and ask if they see some error on their side.
Stats are as follows...
System version
91.2.29001.XT890.Retail.in.GB
Android
4.1.2
Kernel version
3.0.34-g261995f
[email protected]))
Build number
9.8.21-50_SMI-29.1359955748
As the phone won't register on the network, Three are unable to test the connection ! Plus my sim works in all my other phones.
The RAZR I is reading the sim as my contacts import to the phone, so I don't think the sim jacket is at fault either....
Hope this helps...

Oh ! I've also checked the IMEI number online & as far as I can tell its not blocked...
Come on guys any ideas.....

No idea now. It could be a broken phone or a broken sim. Maybe one metal contact on the SIM is broken, or something like that.
I've been in touch with Motorola, there answer is a factory reset.... I've tried a few sims and all are recognised ( the associated APN loads every time...) but still no network connection. I've also checked the antenna connections to ensure contact is being made....
Could this be a software issue? The phone is rooted, can I use ADB to alter IMEI ?
Thanks in advance...

Hello guys!
I'm asking on behalf of my friend regarding his HTC ONE M7.
The phone is running fine on WIFI but, there's an issue with the network service. It takes a while for the phone to pick up the network operator and when it is connected to the network, it shows full bar with 3g signal. The issue is that, my friend cannot make a call or browse the internet using data network. Even when he tried to check his credit balance, it would sometimes show the balance and sometimes it will display and error with "Invalid MMI code" or something. Same thing goes to making a call, sometimes he can call, sometimes he can't.
I tried to make a call from my phone to his phone and sometimes it's ringing and again, sometimes his phone can't be connected.
He flashed new ROM but the issue is still there.
Any of you guys have any idea on how to fix it?
Thanks!
change SIM
Hello all, I have got this message when trying to activate call waiting on my EU rom mi9. My network settings are all correct in the APN settings as per the telco's settings. My phone rings and sends sms/mms. My data works fine.
I am unable to activate call waiting, and when I try to do it from the menu I get a Network or SIM card error message.
When I put my sim in another phone it works fine with *43# or menu settings. The other sim in my phone still fails.
I have researched everywhere and can't find any possible solutions. Has anyone else had this problem? I have just wiped my phone to fix another problem, and this is now a new problem as it all worked previously. Thanks
Hello lads,
I am new to XZ2 modding and so on, and I've came here for any help.
I tried flashing (with newflasher) stock firmware a lot of times, to finally get LineageOS to work with Gapps.
Problem now is, that the phone says it detects no signal and that it is emergency calls only and doesn't allow regular calls.
I know it does detect a signal because, if I go into service settings, it does in fact show a signal frequency.
Is there any way to fix this issue software wise?
is it asking for the unlock code?
try to add the APN settings of your network in your Settings > Mobile network
