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.

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!
I bought a used t-mobile galaxy s8. The website I used said clean imei and I put my sim in the phone and it worked fine. After taking it home it stopped working. I played around with the settings to get it work and came to find that it works briefly after turning phone off and then back on. After about 10 minutes I can't make call or even perform a speed test via speedtest app. The dialer screen will not even load and remains blank, then no calls incoming or internet. If i restart then it starts again. This made me suspicious and I eventually found the t-mobile imei site which says it has an outstanding balance and may not be able to be used. I just find it weird it works then stops. Is that what is causing it? Will it eventually stop working completely?
call tmobile and describe your issue. they can help or at least tell you what to do.
OP, where did you buy the phone from?
I purchased one from S**p*a and have similar concerns.
I recently had the same issue.
I found out somehow an option was enabled that made it seem like i was network blocked or had a bricked sim card.
Under settings/connections/more connection settings/wifi calling
Make sure the middle option is selected and not "never use cellular network"
For some reason every samsung phone i have owned has enabled this option atleast once during ownership.

Hello.
A friend of mine worked at a company that closed last week, and they had some demo-based Galaxy Note 8 phone that were unused. So I took one of them, and I'm now trying to make it work with my SIM Card.
I don't looks like it recognize it, phone network isn't available, IMEI is unknown, and Service Menu (that i tried to turn radio on) is blank (I accessed it trough *#0011#). I passed like 5 hours googling, but since it seems to be a very specific issue (the phone was probably locked for Demo puprposes.). I tried a custom ROM, I rooted the phone, but nothing changed.
I'm sorry if my question isn't that accurate and descriptive, got a real headache trying to find an issue tonight. Feel free to ask for precisions.
Thanks for helping, as always.
Demo units will not function as normal legally acquired devices do, no solution will work, get a really working device, xdemo units are exactly that, just for show
Changing motherboard won't do the trick ?
It will, but I would rather get a never opened device, besides, a motherboard will not be cheap
If anyone familiar with these phones could give an opinion about this it would be much appreciated.
Found "open box" G6 on eBay for a nice price from a highly rated seller.
Rear camera wouldn't work with stock cam app but did with 3rd party app, no big deal.
Couldn't connect to any Wi-Fi that had a hidden SSID, not the end of the world.
It self-rebooted a couple times when auto-configuring for Sprint, maybe that's normal?
(Saw someone doubted it would work with Sprint even though factory unlocked)
It became super glitchy and laggy at some points, which I called an incorrect charger
(I've seen that on other Moto phones before, certain chargers are too noisy or something
so until the phone gets put on a better charger it will stutter and freeze briefly a lot,
figured that was no big deal but now I wonder if that charger ruined my ZenFone too
because it reports SMS text sent, but people aren't receiving them... which seems almost
impossible, maybe the provider [Ting] is simply in error with that) but it got better after
avoiding that charger.
I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it and starting trying to use it normally
(via this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g6/how-to/guide-faster-updated-guide-to-root-t3914228)
but it started to auto-reboot, hard and soft resets, pretty randomly and pretty frequently.
Thought I'd just return it but the bootloader remains unlocked after following reset instructions from:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g6/how-to/stock-firmware-moto-g6-t3792292#post77581343
So I'm not sure what to do with it, I doubt the seller would appreciate it being used and unlocked.
Would like to return it, would love to use it if it's not broken but it seems fairly broken.
It says US retail, I think it's the latest Pie firmware, build PPS29.118.-11-1
Thanks in advance
(also I didn't try the Lineage ROM as I read it doesn't work with dual-sim versions like mine,
but did try the Descendant one which seemed to work well for the short time I looked at it
except that there was no mobile data just calls and text functions
and trying to go into the cellular settings to update it just kicked me back to the previous
menu which I'm guessing may have to do with the dual-sim part as well.)
Hello there
Long story short, I updated my Mi 8 (Global Version) to MIUI 11.0.1.0 before the update got suspended. A few weeks ago, my network provider had some technical difficulties, so I lost the signal a few times throughout the day.
A few days later it happened again, even though my provider fixed everything.
But this time I also lost my WiFi connection and I didn't get it back to work.
After rebooting, my SIM did not get recognized and my phone didn't want to connect to the WiFi network
After rebooting it over and over again for like 10mins, everything worked again.
But this issue occured every day since then.
A few days ago I updated my phone to MIUI 11.0.3.0 and the issue was gone for a day or two.
But now I am experiencing those things again, but this time it usually takes a few seconds and the sim activation service starts again and everything works fine for the next few hours until it happens again.
I will provide a full log later, hopefully someone can figure something out.
I really don't know whether it's a software or hardware issue, but losing signal and WiFi like every hour is driving me crazy and I'd like to avoid resetting my phone....
Oh and by the way, I don't have TWRP installed and it's not rooted or anything else.
Hi,
With me it happened exactly the same, I already paid to solve it and nobody has done it until now. I already lost hope of ever being able to repair
I've been having the same problem.
It's been incredibly frustrating.
[Update:] I went to a local repair shop, it's a hardware related issue.
For everyone else having this issue, try the USSD Code *#06#
If you receive an error, your Baseband Chip may be broken.
At least that's what I was told.
I have unknown baseband, did you replace the baseband chip?
if I put *#06# (no sim card in phone) it just shows up blank white pop-up with label IMEI, but no IMEI number or numbers or nothing else.
Mi8 no signal SIM/WIFI
Hello again
Same problem to my Mi8
When I tap *#06# show my MEID, IMEI1 and IMEI 2
Did you solve the problem ?!
Good morning. I have an MI8 MIUI 11, when I insert the SIM it recognizes it and disconnects itself constantly, the connection is not stable, when I turn on the wifi with the SIM on, the wifi is constantly disconnected and at times the wifi does not turn on, at some point too only the computer was restarted. When I take out the SIM the wifi works stable and well. Any idea of the problem ?? soft or hard? A technician told me that the problem is the display module, but they tested it without the SIM so I calculate that it is not the issue.
Yes, Hardware problem
Confirmed the problem is the baseband, but this cell phone model has the baseband integrated in the SoC (CPU, GPU, NPU and Ram) all one, it seems that it is a soldering problem
