Emergency Calls Only - Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers

So, my sim cards get detected by the phone but I keep getting emergency calls only. I've tried resetting networking and factory reset. I even flashed a new rom but nothing seems to fix it.
Please help.

have you tried the card in another phone ?
I'd ring your network (somehow) and ask them to send out a new sim if they can't offer a better solution.

[Q] Emergency calls only

(SOLVED)
Hello,
recently, my O2 sgs will only stay on "emergency calls only" in all different areas where it used to have signal before. I've tried to manually select the network and even though O2 is available, it doesn't connect (register) with it and says "unable to connect, try again later"
tried many different roms, differend modems, but no luck. fed up.
can anyone help me please?

Check your apn settings
Insanity cm 016/glitchv10c
modem problems
i've told that i already tried many different roms (cm, ezbase, miui...) and modems
I had the same problem with CM7 before after installing if GApps (Google Apps = Market, GMail, Youtube,...). Then I booted into recovery, wiped cache and Dalvik Cache (didn't help) and finally I chose 'fix permissions'. Now everythings is okay again.

have tried, but still it stays on "emergency calls only". what's weird is that it even doesn't call any emergency numbers (says out of service area)...
desperately need help with this, or should i just give it back to the o2 shop... android is the biggest pain...
But the SIM is inserted correctly? Have you tried another SIM? Maybe your SIM-card is defect.
ok, i had another t-mobile sim in my phone and it is working ok. but the o2-sim will not connect, even though it works on other phones well.
what's wrong???

Call O2 and ask vor a new sim because this one probably is damaged.
They'll send u a new SIM for free. I had a similar problem with a dual sim of t-mobile.
Is your phone SIM- or netlocked?

Mine is GT-i9100 btw

[Q] what's wrong with my samsung galaxy s

I forgot the password on my e mail account on the phone, I thought I would factory reset it, when I do this the phone won't find the sim card, or any other network, I look in the settings for available networks, and it's got non and can't find any.so I thought maybe he needed unlocking butI had a look and it say's that the network lock off and so is everything else in that list. I even try putting different firmware on it like t mobile's firmware or vodafone I get the same reaction, no network availability on any sim card. is my phone bricked?
I can get everything else to work like the Internet, it's just that it will not recognised any sim card you put in there
Do you have still your IMEI number in settings->phone info?
And what helped me the other day, was to put the sim card out....clean it with a tissue or else and reinsert it again. Does the phone recognize an other sim card?

I had a similar problem, after first update in android 7.whatever my sim card worked but couldnt go online, just via wifi. I could make calls and recieve texts. I got a new simcard and that helped. Later Oreo came and my phone glitched out when i had the simcard installed. But when i took it out it worked. Sent it to nokia support center and got it back today, what happend? Yes the phone works, i can make and recieve calls/texts. But i cant go online without wifi. Asked my provider for a new sim card now, will return and write if that works.
and I have this problem. Have you found a solution?
Weird, my TA-1052 suddenly got this problem yesterday, SIM card state keep looping between detected and undetected, after several loops phone will reboot and reboot again and again.
But when I switch the card to the other slot and reboot, all things seem to be fine. Then at some random time of the day this problem shows up again and I have to switch the card back.
I can 100% reproduce this bug by insert 2 SIM cards together, phone will stuck in a loop and reboot, but logcat shows nothing suspicious.
Tried factory reset but nothing happened.
Since both SIM card slots actually work and I haven't updated system recently, I guess this shouldn't be hardware-related.

I need help reactivating my SIM which mysteriously stopped working

Hi I am in need of some help. I will try to give as much detail as possible.
I was talking on the phone 3 days ago and suddenly my call was cut short. The signal icon at the top was greyed out and it had a little x in the bottom. I tried to figure out what happened and at first I thought the cell tower went down because I was unable to connect to 2g, 3g, LTE/4g, nothing.
Next day with my father visiting my house, I tried his phone, put in my SIM, it works, there is signal (nothing greyed out) and I see the name of the phone service at the top left "Personal". His phone with his SIM works as well. Cell towers are working fine. I put my SIM back in my phone, no signal, not able to make phone calls or receive text messages.
At this time WIFI, Whatsapp, the phone itself works. I double checked APN settings from the carriers website, everything matched. I tried rebooting the phone, reseating the chip, selecting towers automatically, manually, and read many many discussions on the web none of which helped. I decided to do a factory reset. Backed up all photos to the computer and proceeded to reset it to factory new. Put in the SIM and same problem. Oh I also in the meantime have spoken with my service provider and they do not see anything wrong on their end.
So now I proceed to restore the phone from a backup on my MI account, all apps restored. Now I try to use Whatsapp and it wants to confirm my account with a text message, that is a problem because I can't receive text messages. I went to my service provider today, they put in a store SIM with a different number and it worked, they assumed I had a faulty SIM and gave me a new SIM with my number, same problem. Now I think it has something to do with XIaomi or MIUI or my MI account. I log into my MI account from my computer and try to add my email under security and it won't let me because it needs verify my account by sending a text message to my cell which of course is not working.
I am thinking of rooting the phone but I imagine I will somehow be blocked there too.
What happened to my phone?
Is my account being protected in some way MIUI, XIaomi or my MI account preventing me from activating my SIM?
Everything I try to do requires a confirmation text.
I want to root the phone but in order to do so I need to request that Xiaomi unlock the bootloader which will require a text message which of course is to be sent to my phone that wont connect to the cell tower.
Was I hacked or spoofed?
How do I go about fixing my situation?
Have you tried changing region and changing back to your country again? That may be possible reason.
For confirmation of code for bootloader unlocking, while applying put your sim card into other phone and that way you'll be able to get code and bootloader unlocked and can flash and try with different rom.
Similarly if your device is out of warranty then you may want to check with the antenna cable inside phone if that is got disconnected or got loosen. I don't if this would have happened or not but this could be issue. Process with precaution if you do so,I won't be responsible for anything.

"No Sim card - Emergency calls only" even when a sim inserted

hey there, as the title says. I'm having a problem suddenly with my phone. I tried everything, reinserting the sim, swapping the sim slots, shutting it down, restarting it many times, resetting the mobile settings and clearing settings cache but to no avail.
I don't want to send it for repair yet, hope you can help me.
Try another SIM card, if you can. You never know, it might be faulty.
Have you done a factory reset?
