Hey guys, out of nothing, my phone stop having signal, and start saying "No service" in the left top corner, where it used to be my mobile phone company, Claro. Then, I tested with other sim cards and the thing keep going the same, no signal in SIM 1. Then I put my sim card in slot 2, and it worked perfectly. Bad part is, I can't put a micro sd now, because I'm using that slot to put my sim card.
I reseted all "network" functions, I'm sorry, I don't know how is it in English phones, but I went to the option of reset all network settings, or something like that. That didn't work. I just lost all of my wifi passwords.
I've seen some carriers blacklist IMEI if device is not being paid on time. I once got scammed like that on a Note 9, and the sim 1 slot with imei 1 did not work, but the carrier did not block SIM2/IMEI2 so i could at least use the phone until the seller finally agreed the return process.
Try checking imei for blacklist status, and try reflashing the firmware with odin (all files including BL, AP, CP, and CSC)

My i9000m on the Bell mobility network is not picking up data after an overnight charge with the phone turned on. Today - nothing. I do have phone use and I can access data on WiFi.
I am running stock ROM. I unlocked the phone using a Rogers SIM card, about a week ago, but went back to the Bell network immediately after with no problem. After unlocking I got the Kies to work and updated to UGJH2. Since then, the network access has been spotty but I've switching to WiFi then switching back and it's coming back. I purchased this phone with a different Bell SIM2 then put my old Bell SIM1 (from an Omnia2) in this device.
*#7465625# shows Personalizatiob Status
network lock [OFF]; Network sublock[OFF]; SP lock [OFF]; CP lock [OFF]
What I've tried
1) Switching to WiFi and back - no data
2) Putting SIM1 back into the Omnia 2 - O2 booted up and accessed the Bell network including data. CONCLUSION - The problem is not the SIM card.
3) Putting the SIM2 into the i9000m - no network access at all; not even phone. This SIM2 is working in the O2 and originally worked in the i9000m. Much to my surprise when I put SIM1 back in the SGS it still picks up the Bell network.
4) Squeezed the SIM holder blew out with compressed air in case it's just a physical problem with the SIM being held tight enough - SIM1 still not picking up data.
So it would seem that there is a problem with my SGS reading SIMs other than the one in use when whatever happened happened. Any suggestions on how to get other SIMs, even from the same network, to work? If I have to submit my phone to Bell I need to re-lock it. How do I do that?
Thanks for the help.
--- update---
relocked the phone using *7465625*638*# then 302610 and my unlock code. Power off / on still no data access. Now *#7465625# shows Personalizatiob Status - network lock [ON]; Network sublock[OFF]; SP lock [OFF]; CP lock [OFF]
first try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=789039&highlight=*#0011#
does it show which band it is using for data?
you can also try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8124344&postcount=45
install the APN on off
then flip it on / off and back to on
see if that helps
Thanks for the response.
I did the #*0011* It's flipping between the 850 on 5 and 1900 on 2 The DL and UL numbers are slightly different. I did have to reconnect to the APN.
How would this affect installing *other* Bell SIMS? That's what worries me the most - that it wouldn't read another Bell SIM that works in another phone.
the only time i see this happen is if you swap the SIM card when the phone is ON
if you turn off the phone, change between SIM1 and SIM2, then turn it back on, you should not see that problem
I know because i was playing around with multiple SIMs when we were researching the Unlock methods for this phone
I take out the battery before I change the SIM. I have to for the Omnia 2 so I just got in the habit. This is sounding worse and worse
although I was rushing off to work so maybe I didn't - hope springs eternal.

sometimes you just have to call Bell, wade thru the 1st level support and get to someone who knows what's up. Apparently my phone plan changed today (I didn't know it was post dated) and the data feature was not provisioned even though it's a plan that includes data. The guy invoked the feature and poof - data. yay. AllGamer, thanks for your help.
you'r welcome
I did have the same problem, using 2 numbers from 2 telcos, both sims work fine on my iphone but I9000 fail to recognize 1 of these 2, no matter how I tried, I actually did all crazy things like insert couple paper layers between the sim and the sim slot to create additional pressure on the sim contact circuit.
Suck thing about this is non-recognizable sim has data plan with it, which I want to use on I900, finally I asked the carrier to issue a new sim and all thing work fine. It's a new sim type anyway. You may want to try this if all other means doesn't work.
The fix is easy I use to have a moto milestone and when this happened a simple reboot fixed the data connection.

Hi, I just got the 8.9 3g Tab (P7300).
when I insert the Sim card to the device, it still shows "Please insert sim card"
and when I go to Setting, Network service. It tells me "Insert sim card to access network service".
I tested my Sim card to my Phone, it is ok. and i don't think there is anything wrong in the position of sim card when I placed to my 8.9 tab (metal surface face down)
I also did some research on the possibility of lost/corrupt data in EFS folder.
However, I saw my IMEI and Serial no is showing correctly (Not "unknown" or the default one). and I tried to odin the stocks 3.2 rom, wipe eveything. And i also tried to recover the nv_data files and do the chmod radio radio to that files under EFS. it still doesn't work.
does anyone here have some advise for me?
Thanks so much.
sounds silly but did you insert it far enough?
you really have to push down hard until you hear a little "click" the card then should stay in position.
did you install a p5 (3g) rom and not a p5wifi only?
Yes. the rom i flash is P5 3g room and for P7300 not P7310...
and I do hear the sound and the Sim card totally locked inside.
and I need to Push it to eject it out.
So i have no idea why it doesn't work.
is your phone 4g? if you insert a 4g sim into a 3g device it wont work. this probably isnt the case, but who knows....maybe they messed up your data plan and gave you a 4g sim for your 3g device.
did you get your tab from a carrier? did you buy it used and the guy before you had it from a carrier? if so maybe its sim locked?!
just guessing here though :S
How can I know whether my device has sim lock or not?
And how can I get it unlocked if so?
As my device is given by my fd so I don't know whether it is locked or not.
But I am sure it is 3g device instead of lte and my similar card is also 3g
Has anyone had problems with LTE tab s 8.4" sim card ?
the signal bars all the time are full as if there is sim card in the device. i tried inserting two nano sim cards with micro adapter it immediately asks to restart as Sim card detected..
I place sim card, restart and NOTHING !
same full bar signal all the time with/without sim. Still says no sim card inserted.
Device from singapore.
Now i know 8.4 LTE tab S is 3g/4g sim card compatible and sim cards work perfectly otherwise. i reset factory settings with no results !
going to mobile networks trying to chose networks also gives error of no network available.
ANy ideas/ Help !
thank you
wrong section. moderator please delete.
Posted again in q&A section.
thank you
Check your imei number. If imei starts 00..... you have problem with logining to network.

I have the same thing as well when no simcard is inserted. Per understanding, the phone automatically logs on to any network so you could dial the emergency number (in your country)
I have a moto X 1st gen here in India. Its unlocked,not rooted. One fine day it thrower me an error "your sim card does not allow a connection to a network". And I am without network in my mobile.
My IMEI is same as in the battery
Device is not rooted
Sim card works fine in other mobiles
Tried different sim cards but still same problem
Didn't fiddled with any network settings.
After reading through XDA threads I did
Cleared data/cache
Restored the stock firmware again.
Did that network menu reset to switch radio on and off many times
Not able to get any network signal at all. Is there anything I am missing?
Attached screenshot from *#*#4636#*#* menu
Just as the title says, the phone was working fine then suddenly it lost all signal and went into some kind of restricted mode, it's a friend's phone and he is almost 84 years old.
I have flashed the latest firmware and factory reset to no avail, also changed sim cards and here comes the weird behavior:
I don't have a standard-sized sim card so I had to take it from my USB LTE Modem, it's from another carrier and the phone detected the sim card, went with a full -77db HSDPA signal but data doesn't work at all, it seems to be disabled on status, even configuring the proper APNs it refuses to work. Can't test voice and all my other working sim cards are nano.
Inserting any other sim from another carrier results in no signal/restricted access but the phone still downloads the Internet/MMS configuration.
Have tried setting it manually to WCDMA and GSM, nothing seems to work, only my data sim worked so far *without the data*.
Maybe the IMEI is banned for some reason?
Never heard of this issue until now
Have you tried to flash a firmware that aren't from any carrier?

Yes I did, flashed the USA unbranded kitkat rom.
Just got the chance to test with two sim cards from different carriers:
Carrier #1: Registered on network, no data traffic, voice call drops just after trying to call, signal ok
Carrier #2: Registered on network, data traffic seems ok but can't navigate, shows H+ and proper APN and traffic arrows activity but when you try a call it says "Mobile Network Not Available"
Can't send SMS, they stick with a "Sending" status and wont get past it.
This phone was purchased unlocked without a contract, can't see how the IMEI could be banned, plus we do not have regularization for IMEI ban in my country, it's currently a mess.
On a side note it does not detect the sim's phone number which it does on any other phone.
Maybe it's some hardware related issue?

Well that's interesting
My phone can't detect my Sim's phone number either (though i don't know If it is only for me)
Have you tried to flash a ROM? (from XDA)

The sim number information depends on the sim itself, most carriers register this information within the simcard so when you go to status you may retrieve your own phone number but I have seen sim cards without this info. The sim cards I tested do have this information and were available on a Galaxy S5 and Xperia Z1 but this E1 fails to read this information which kinda indicates a problem. I don't remember the codes for debugging the sim and network info or I'd give that a shoot.
I will try a custom rom, maybe a different kernel and see if the behavior changes any bit.
I am bidding on a Z1 Compact for this friend, should be a proper replacement and a hell of an upgrade, just concerned about E1's loudness which is certainly superior.
Interesting, I also get this if I don't reboot my phone after like 5 days.
