It was working 2 days ago but for some reason it's not getting reception anymore. It can read the sim card but no signal. I tried 3 sim cards ( tmo and 2 foreign sims) but the signal bar is 0. I don't know if I messed up something. Any idea how to fix it?

I purchased an unlocked I9305T a few days ago to use on Telstra and am having all sorts of reception problems even though we're fairly close to a tower. My S2 will usually get -80 dbm and above whereas the S3 was often sitting at -100 or less. Sometimes mobile data works and other times it drops out constantly or won't connect at all.
Anyway I was ready to return the phone today when I noticed that without a sim inserted, it's getting better 3G reception than the S2. That would rule out any antenna or modem problems wouldn't it? Does this mean the sim card slot might be faulty? I doubt it's the sim card itself as I've got it in the S2 currently and it's working fine.
EDIT: Please excuse the dumb stuff above. Don't know why I thought signal strength meant anything without a sim. I went and got a brand new sim and it's now working perfectly.
Hey guys!
Weirdest problem My uncle used to use my s3 mini with the same sim as mine, and it worked fine but then when i entered my sim I get signal bars although it says no sim card
I also tried another sim and it had the same issue, signal bars active although it says no sim card
Help would be really appreciated !
Kudos !:laugh:
I Exchanged 5 HTC ONE Dual Sim phones(802d) and finally got a flawless device without gaps/dead pixels/camera problems. Today however, when I inserted a second sim in SIM 2 slot, it showed no signal in my house. I put the same sim in sim1 slot and it was working fine. When I got out of my locality, the sim2 slot got a 4 bar signal and was working without any problems but as soon as I came home again the sim2 lost the signal. Basically, the sim1 slot is working fine in my house with both the sim cards but sim2 is not giving any signal.
My questions:
1) Both the sim cards are giving me a normal signal in my house in SIM 1. But as soon as I insert any of them in sim 2, they are giving no signal. Is the sim2 slot damaged by any way?
2) If it's damaged, how is it(the sim2 slot) giving me a normal signal as soon as I leave my locality?
I WOULD REQUEST AS MANY USERS TO GIVE THEIR INPUTS AS I JUST HAVE 3 DAYS LEFT FOR MY 14 DAY REPLACEMENT POLICY. IF IT'S NOT A ISSUE, THEN I NEED NOT GET IT REPLACED.
HOPING ALL OF YOU HELP ME OUT HERE
anyone? I really need help
I had a S5 and normally had 2 bars of signal in my house all the time around -108dbm signal wise. Sometimes it will drop and lose calls or texts take a while to go thru but generally the phone was reliable and worked good.
I bought my unlocked nexus 6 2 days ago at best buy, popped in my sim card and connected to the network just fine.
In the house my signal bar is all over the damn place. 2 bars then no signal then 1 bar then no signal, is chalk it up to bad signal if it didn't do this outside the house also.
I haven't done anything to the phone so I don't know if it is just something little and stupid i need to change in the settings or if I need to flash the Verizon firmware on it . any help would be appreciated
There is no specific Verizon firmware. LMY48I is the current build. You could try flashing different radios and see if one works better for your towers.
Hi Guys,
I'm using Airtel India network (karnataka)
I'm unable to get 3g connectivity from past 6 days and as we all know 4g is not supported in Nexus 6.
Only 2g is getting connected and surprisingly my sim card is working fine with 3g network with other handsets i checked.
I have tried contacting airtel several times and have not got any response apart from stating that everything is fine at their end.
I just wanna know if this a handset problem or the network issue ?? and how to fix it
Does anybody else facing same issue?
Just to clarify something, the Nexus 6 does have 4G. It displays "LTE" on the signal strength meter when 4G is connected.
What steps have you taken to diagnose the problem? We have no way of knowing whether the handset has gone bad or the network is having problems without some work from you. For instance, have you tried a new SIM? Have you checked your APN? Done a factory reset?
Well my Nexus 6 didnt pick up signal from my sim card. Sim card is working in other phone so visited the service centre and they inserted another sim and the signal was not picked either. Now the phone is in service centre.
Now for the surprise part!!!!
the other phone which i inserted my sim card is a new box piece of MI redmi Note 3 which worked fine until now. Now i'm getting 3G symbol in this phone as well and nothing is getting connected. lost LTE connection and not getting connected.
LTE never worked in my Nexus 6 and was not aware i could use 4g in Nexus 6 since i am using 4G enabled sim and never got LTE connectivity (PS i stay in India).
I'm lost now.
Your SIM could be damaged. It's not common, but SIM cards do fail. I had it happen on another device and lost voice and data until I could get a new SIM. Fortunately for me the SIM didn't damage the equipment, which again isn't common, but possible.
The fact your new device is exhibiting the same symptoms as your Nexus and only doing so after inserting the SIM leads to one inescapable fact: your SIM is damaged. When your Nexus is returned to you, get a new SIM.
Nexus 6 does support LTE in India through 1800 MHz Band, ie Idea and Vodafone.
Airtel is using 2300 MHz which is not supported by the Nexus 6, that's why you are not able to latch on to Airtel LTE.
