[Q] Error Code 65 - Everywhere off network data

My phone works excellent when it is on Sprint Network. When I go off network (when I got to work) it will maintain a 3g connection for a while but when it loses the data connection, it is gone until I am back with in Sprint's network. I know this area has Verizon and US Cell towers all over.
It gets "Error Code 65: Unable to establish wireless data connection. If the problem persists, please contact your mobile phone company." So I contacted them and basically they say it is not their fault if the towers in that area won’t allow me to roam. Well...this is not true, my wife's I-Phone always has extended data, I could be sitting right next to her with my Error Code 65 message and she could be roaming and using the data connection.
I got my MSL from sprint and reset using the dial pad. I updated profile a gazillion times. I updated PRL a gazillion times. I have factory reset a few times. When I first got the phone it would get roaming data fine. In September/October it became unusable.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Actually, no... Do I just reset it?
Thanks

I reset it. Did a hands free activation. I don't know if this will fix it or not as the factory reset prompted this as well.
Any other ideas?
Thanks

I have this same problem since rooting and flashing Stock Goodies

I have not rooted or anything. What's did sprint tell you?

When you factory reset are you doing a hard reset from bootloader? If not, try that. If same problem persists I would say it's something Sprint has messed up on your account. If they still say everything is fine on their end then maybe try RUU.

Do you have to unlock the bootloader? I looked up how to access the menu but all it's doing is restarting. Sorry newb here.

Power phone off. Hold volume down while powering on and it will bring you into bootloader menu. From there you will see option to factory reset. This way of resetting is referred to as a "hard reset". If you already tried that then look up how to perform RUU depending on what HBOOT version have. You can see what version you have while in bootloader menu.

Thanks I will give it a shot

Sim card disconnected from network HELP!

I updated to marshmallow 6.0.1 a few days ago and the phone was perfectly fine. Just yesterday I factory reset the phone because I've read online the battery is better after that so I did it and restore my data with smart switch after. The sim card was working last night. I fully charged the phone and unplugged it and left it there until morning. When I woke up i noticed that the phone is stuck in emergency calls only. So i just waited the whole day for it to reconnect it self because this happens when i lose service (i rarely do at home but sometimes). Till now I still cannot connect to a network. I tried rebooting, resetting the network settings and selecting the available network providers from the phone search. after doing the search it did not include my own carrier (mobilicity). I am in Canada and the phone is the Canadian variant. The phone search showed telus, bell and wind and cdn roaming. I reinserted the sim card no luck. I can try to factory reset but I doubt it would work. Any one can help me out????
BTW the phone is UNROOTED no mods or anything done to it.

I did some research I think there's something wrong with my Sim card as I can't scan my network through the manual scan. So I'm gonna replace it tomorrow and see if that fixes it. If not then I may just switch to another phone.

Likelihood of Warranty Exchange

Hi all,
Have a question for you. Bought a used S8 off of a guy on the internet awhile back. Phone worked fine for a few weeks, but now has developed a problem where it claims no service and as such there is no data/calling/texting. Factory resets sometimes do or don't fix this issue. If it is fixed with a reset, it reoccurs within some hours. I have sent this in five times to Samsung. It has been out of my possession for weeks and weeks with the constant shipping back and forth. It is currently being shipped back to me. I assume in a not-fixed state. The service center people can't replicate the issue because it magically doesn't occur when they run their suite of tests on the device. As a result, they literally do nothing to the phone and also won't replace it. What is the chance I could go into a T-Mobile store and have it replaced? Thanks for your time.

Normally in order for T-Mobile to exchange the unit, they would need to access the original buyer's account and see the warranty status. I first thought your phone's IMEI could have been blocked by T-Mobile, but you mention that after factory reset it works sometimes. Use T-Mobile's IMEI checker website and see what it shows you. https://www.t-mobile.com/verifyIMEI.aspx If you phone is unlocked, try another sim card, from another provider such as AT&T.

I was just assuming it wasn't blocked since it works on and off, but yeah, that site is telling me it is blocked on their network. Thanks. Guess this was a complete waste of money.

I believe there is a chance that T-Mobile might unblock it depending on why it was blocked in the first place.

S10 Trade In Program - Samsung claims I did not reset the device. Advice? Help!

I was hoping for an easy trade-in with Samsung. I have no flaws on my Galaxy Note 8, I sent it in before the date that they asked.
My screen had no issues, no scratches, perfect condition.
The phone turns on and runs absolutely fine.
The last thing I did before I packed my Note8 up was to take out my SIM card and microSD card and then do a factory re-set.
The final screen I saw was when it rebooted after the reset and was ready to start the process from scratch - which I have done before.
So what happened? Why are they saying my device was NOT reset?? This is absurd, I have seen people get no credit before for other things but never the "not factory reset"!
Can someone help me or offer advice? I have a week to call them before they charge me and I can have them ship the device back, but **I had a perfect condition Note8 and I want my $550 trade in!!**

I guess you didn't remove your accounts before resetting your phone. So, most probably, the setup process will ask for previous account credentials.
Samsung should be able to bypass this protection if they want. Or you can see with them the possibility to send them your account credentials to help them unlock the phone. If they refuse then they have bad intentions...

I can only imagine it is the FRP as this would require the setup to ask for the security details you had on the device prior to reseting the device and then the Google email address attached to the account, however this would only happen after a master reset so not sure if this is the reason, however when I tried to sell a S9 to a recycle site in the UK and I made this mistake they sent it back as I was not able to remotely do this.

Did you do your factory reset through settings menu? I sent in my galaxy s8 back to them for the trade in program Monday and it was running One UI beta 3 so I flashed it through ODIN using the latest Sprint firmware and CSC file to wipe everything back to complete stock. When I did the initial factory reset before flashing in odin I went though Settings > General management > Reset > Factory data reset. It asked me for my google password before it would reset the device. I did the ODIN flash to make sure everything was gone and it was on the correct latest Sprint firmware. I was afraid being on the BETA they may reject it. Now you've got me worried because I didn't try and set the device up again to see if it asked for my google password. I'm 99% sure when doing a factory reset through settings and entering in my credentials FRP is no longer active. Does anyone know if a clean ODIN flash using the CSC (not Home CSC) will remove any and all settings such as FRP?

I am a little confused as I removed my SIM and SD Card and then did a factory reset and it went back to the first set up screen. So, you are saying if we did not remove our Google account or work email prior to factory reset they could refuse the trade in??

Yes. FRP (Factory Reset Protection) is designed to deter theft by requiring any Google account (not sure about Samsung account) that was active on the phone at the time of factory reset be logged into prior to using any other account after the factory reset. You can disable FRP by just going into Settings -> Accounts and removing your Google account prior to a factory reset.

Maybe so, but I've traded two phones with no problems and all I've ever done is a factory reset from the settings. Both times I did reboot to see if it went to the default setup screen, but that's all I've done.

Same here, did a factory reset only. It was approved even with unlocked bootloader and twrp...

Well, I appreciate everyone chiming in...I hope ultimately they approve the trade or get you phone back to you so you can sell it to recoup your money...
I checked to be sure and it seems my trade in was excepted as they only charged my Amex the discounted amount and they received my trade in on the 28th of March and i did not do anything but a Factory Reset... same thing when i traded in my S8 for the S9...
Maybe Sammy saw something questionable on the unit and used this as an excuse to deny the trade? It could be possible that this deleting of the prior accounts is in the fine print somewhere and they use when needed?
Best of luck...

I think you're at Samsung's mercy in these situations. You can complain to them until you're blue in the face, but in the end it's at their discretion.

Yeah, there was nothing wrong with my phone so I am going to complain pretty hard. I have hit up the Samsung Mobile USA and Samsung Support USA on Twitter before and retweet them enough that I hope to make a fuss that I can get taken care of.

Good luck. What's so bad is that Samsung isn't even the one's inspecting the phones. They should have some process that makes Samsung themselves look at a phone after Ingram Micro rejects it.

Data Connection Problem

Let me preface this with this issue began with the February security update. I cannot say for certain that they are related, however it’s difficult to believe that they are not. Tuesday after installing the February security update my phone and lost the ability to connect to Tmobile’s data network. It can still call, text, send MMS, and run speed tests. I’ve been working with one of the engineers at Tmobile corporate in Bellevue Washington. They have gone above and beyond looking at the switch, refreshing my account By suspending and reactivating it. They have had my Sim card swapped multiple times. When I put my Sim card into my old phone I have data connectivity like normal. Does anybody hear have any insight or anything to try on a pixel five to possibly undo whatever the February security update did.

Update. Best Buy replaced the phone outside of normal warranty. As soon as it got the February security update the problem is back.

Clear system cache.
Do a network reset.
Double check all related settings.
Now you know why I don't update...

Ouch. That sucks.
Try a factory reset if you haven't.
Most likely it was the update.
If a reload doesn't get it, reflash the firmware.
It may be a hardware failure if a reflash to the last known good rom doesn't get it.

Don't have time for any of that anymore sadly. Best buy does kick ass they swapped me into a S20 FE. Did get an email from google acknowledging that this is a known bug since January.

Go into settings and check your APN settings. I had to delete one and switch to another to get my data working again.
