hi guys first time post,
i have spent the last 5 days trawling through forums to find a solution for my problem,
i have 2 samsung s3 minis both work perfectly but only 1 will pick up a signal(unfortunately its the 1 thats blocked)
the one in question has its imei no there its not blocked its unlocked but will not receive signal,i have tried flashing different modems matching the firmware 18190nxxamj2 with no success,
every different firmware i have flashed on the other one the signal is allways there,
i have just checked the service menu settings of the phones and they are completely different,
when i first go into the settings on the duff one the signal triangle comes up for a few seconds then its back to circle with line, (leads me to think the problem is in the service settings),
is there any way to transfer service menu settings to the other phone,
i am pulling what little hair i have out,
cheers

Folks,
(I've searched around a bit and seen some reference to this problem but no definitive discussion. I apologize in advance if I missed anything and humbly request a pointer to the existing info if so.)
Just got a Tilt last weekend. On 3 occasions so far I looked at the screen and noticed that the phone had no signal (triangle with ! next to it). So for several hours each time, no one could call me. Going into comm mgr, the phone radio was still on.
This was in an area with no signal problems; soft reset or pulsing the phone radio in comm mgr would restore functionality with 3-4 bars. I finally nailed this down to having been in an area in the center of the building where I work, where signal gets lost. It appears that my Tilt never automatically recovers from a lost signal.
I saw this problem on the ROMs that came with the device and now it also continues with the new one that was just released by HTC a couple of days ago. In case it matters the phone is unlocked (using jump_spl and the other related tools and procedures found here, thanks).
Do I just have a defective Tilt? I mentioned this to others in my office and a few folks also claim to see this, and like I said I have seen *some* mention of this on the internet... I'd be astounded if this were really a problem endemic to all Tilts -- would people really put up with this?
Anyone have any additional insight?
It used to happen with me when I had the stock AT&T rom. I flashed the stock HTC rom and I don't recall ever having that problem, and now I've flashed SNE v2.5 and I don't have that problem.
My suggestion is to flash a new rom and see if that helps, and to make sure you're using a correct radio.
where do I get official htc radio and rom downloads?
hi folks,
where can i get official HTC radio and ROM downloads? I have an HTC TYTN II (acquired in Hong Kong) with ROM 1.56.721.3, Radio 1.27.12.11 & Protocol 22.45.88.07H just last month and already I'm encountering problems with the phone just losing the signal and staying lost and I'm considering upgrading however since my phone is brand new (practically), i want an "official" upgrade so as not to void the warranty. any help would be appreciated.
thanks and best regards...
I'll have to decide whether I have the cohones to flash an HTC ROM. Might at least be worth a try.
try this, go into comm manager, than settings for the phone (right soft key), than over to the Band tab, if I select the network type as GSM and leave the band on auto mine will contstantly serch for signal. i know this because my office is as close to a bomb shelter as they come and it never stops searching.
another good to this is battery life is improved
the BAD, if you want to use 3G you have to turn network back to auto and band to auto. not really a big deal cuz i dont have 3G here (yet).
a little workaround that works for me.
Thanks for that... I am running an AT&T ROM and even though I've supposedly turned on the Band tab in phone settings via KaiserTweak, I do not see a band tab. Should I?
I have almost this same exact problem! As of two weeks ago, my tilt started not allowing me to make calls
I then realized that it was also sending all my calls to voice mail. Thing is, the phone says that I have signal and has the Edge connection sign at the top. Whenever I try to make a call, the phone says "operation cannot be completed" or it will simply beep at me as if the call ended, right after it started.
A soft reset allows this to work. I've had this problem even happen right after hanging up with someone, and then trying to redial another number 5 seconds later. I doubt the phone really lost the signal.
Any ideas?

I had the same problem with my O2 XDA Stellar, it was fine for a couple of months, then I could hardly call out on it, email wouldn't send, could rarely go online etc etc. It seemed to be better on GSM/GPRS than 3G, HSDPA etc. I assumed it was a harware problem & as it was under warranty I got a replacement from O2 & it's been fine so far.
AT&T replaced the SIM card in my phone and I believe this has fixed the problem. I have lost signal many times (elevators, garages, etc) and it recovers each time.
Hi all,
This is my 1st Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S) its 5 days old and seems to have a problem.
When I surf the net through my wifi connection at home after 10>20 mins of use its freezes, vibrates then crashes back to my home screen. Once at home screen it then vibrates 3 more times.
Its not rooted or running any additional software.
I've reset it 3 times to see if this helps but it doesnt.
Today I phoned Samsung support (uk) and they said it sounds like a software issue and they asked me to takes it to car phone warehouse so they could check it over.
I dropped into cpw house and explained my problems and they said they would re flash the firmware. 1 hour later I picked the phone up and went back home.
When i got home I checked the phone over to discover they had down graded it from 2.2 to 2.1.
I surfed the net for abit over my wifi connection and didnt seem to have any issues but the gremlins got the better of me and I decided to upgrade the firmware through Kies to version 2.2.
The way I see it I purchased 2.2 Froyo not 2.1 Eclair.
Since updating to 2.2 I'm back to having issues with wifi where it freezes, vibrates then crashes to home screen and vibrates 3 more times.
Please can someone help because I'm not sure if this is a hardware issue or software.
Thx in advance !!
hi
you need to understand one thing
The Phone is on carers software, and by that it is meant to do whatever
carer decided it to do....
Without Rooting your phone ( what is breaching of your warranty)
De branding it ( in most of the cases)
And Un locking it.
there is not much you can do other than referring to the Carphone warehouse once again, for a WORKING software for your phone.
You can see witch Froyo Base/Breed you have in system informations
and then look for the answers for that specific Base/ Breed
But if you decide to Root your phone then tutorials for that are hire just google for it, its really easy, if you know what are you doing
best luck

Thx for your reply xiadz.
Please let me extend..
The phone does not and wasn't purchased from the car phone ware house.
I purchased it from a local add. It was an upgrade and the previous owner was happy with his Iphone so I decided to purchase it from him (unopened and in the box) It is unlocked to any carrier and I have tried 3 different simm cards in it so it doesnt require unlocking.
Ive looked into the rooting and lag fixes but this didnt fix my problem.
I appreciate your help thou
Hello. First of all, I searched the threads before posting to no avail. So if I'm being repetitive I apologize. But here's the problem. I have a t mobile galaxy note 5. Unlocked. It's rooted. Running an arter97 kernel, and Jovys Darkstalker kernel mod. Everything is running smoothly and has been for months. Recently the only problem is my signal. 90% of the time it is saying searching. When I make a call it says not registered on a network. This is strange because I have done nothing to cause this change. No new roms, mods, updates, nothing and it's been working fine all this time. I know it is not location related because it was working 100% fine from day one until now. I tried *#06# to see if my imei was null, it is not.
I let the phone search, and then choose an operator, that works temporarily giving me signal, but eventually goes back to, and stays searching. I tried to pull up the service menu using *#*#4636#*#* to reset the radio, but that number is not pulling up the menu. I was told I may have a bad efs, but I never created a backup because until now I never had this problem and didn't know efs existed . I don't know what my next step should be. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!
Sn: if there is already a solution to this problem on this forum send me a link please!
Try using the Shortcut Master (Lite) to pull up the service menu.
I've also got same issue.
My phone is n920c. I've spent all day trying fix this issue by new rom, but I didn't find solution yet.
Kind Regards,
Marcin

Where did you buy your phone? Why don't you check to see if it's blacklisted first (maybe it took a little while to get listed). Never ceases to amaze me the number of people selling stolen/balance owing phones, or the number of people buying them, for that matter:
http://www.t-mobile.com/VERIFYIMEI.ASPX
Very true. I think i may have solved the problem though. My phone was bought outright through tmobile. I try not to by second hand phones for that exact reason.
I think i have may have found my the solution. For me it was a sim card related issue. Apparently my sim card was exhausted, or had expired. This is why my phone kept dropping me from the network and i had to keep reconnecting. Accordind to t mobile your sim expires 90 days of no use. This dodnt apply to me but whatever. Got a new sim, transfered the number, problem solved. Also something else that greatly boosetd my service. Take the case off. This was why i got the searching status in low service areas and only 2 bars of service in good reception areas. Crazy that in 2015 cases still affect service but it did greatly. So yea my fix was a new sim and take the case off. Very elementary. But i can say it was not root, kernel related thank god :good:
My S5 Mini SM-G800F won't stay registered on a network, it registers initially but after a few seconds drops to 'Emergency calls only' with the notification that the selected network is unavailable. The signal strength is fine and the sim works in other phones. It's an unlocked phone, using a different network sim produces the same result. Bought it secondhand just over a month ago and it's been fine up to to a couple of days ago, done a hard factory reset but the issue remains.
Ideas for a fix?
This may or not be similar to an ongoing issue I have with my S5 Mini - See below :- Has your IMEI changed to the below at all - 350695200123951-01 ?
"Hi All,
Did any one actually get a fix for this issue as I have exactly the same problem, my SM-G800F IMEI now also shows as - IMEI 350695200123951-01 which is for a blacklisted NOKIA 6310. If anyone can supply an absolute beginners guide for me as to how I can get my original Imei back that would be fantastic.
I am just a user of an android phone and have zilch experience of tinkering with them.
I have seen reference to things like Odin and flashing firmware and am quite happy to give it a go myself and learn
I will post this on a few other threads that list the same issue as I am desperate to get this fixed now as is a waste of a perfectly good phone !! "

No change to my IMEI, consensus seems to be that it's probably a faulty SIM card reader.
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
