I live in south Florida too and the only problem that I have with network is under about phone, my phone number is displayed as unknown. It only becomes a pain when I try to use apparently like push-to-talk.
I think you should talk to a tmo representative or bring your phone back to the store.

I'd reccomend trying your sim in another phone, if possible. See if it still has signal problems or works perfectly. Also, if you're using an older sim, update your sim to the one that came with it. For some reason the vibrants seem really grumpy with older sims a lot of the time, but not in all cases. I'd say it's helped about 75% of the customers (and myself) that have had issues with signal/reception on it.

my firware is R26 Root. My friend told me many times my phone signal is not available. but i checked the phone , still with signal strength.
I doubt the main reason is I installed task manager to control memory usage. It might close some important program or service to cause phone function abnormal.
I ever swith to flight mode then back. this still can't solve it , until i power off , then power again. Any one know which service or program must be exist to prevent my phone working perperly ? Thanks.
I also have the same problem, sometimes my friends try to call and it goes straight to the voicemail service, even when my signal is at full strength...

My phone has been doing the same thing recently. By any chance are you both on Orange UK? There have been alot of data and network issues recently. Try phoning tech support and they have an automated message saying that there are problems. It's been going on for nearly two weeks on and off. Its getting really annoying now.
O2 uk here, have had this issue since I got the phone on and off.
Flashing, updating, rooting, nothing has corrected it.
It is also a problem for some of my friends on different networks, and this leads me to believe it is the phone, software or hardware not sure, as opposed to the network.

Same
I find that when i enter my pin code en register my sim. After it went to flightmode. I won't go into flightmode again after that. Unless i use the taskkiller again.
Also not everytime i kill all apps, this happends.
Same with you guys ? Running Rooted R2BA026 here x10i

I also noticed a strange error when i activate and deactivate plane mode, 3g stop working... and i need to reboot the phone to get it to work again.. same thing happen when I deactivate and activate again MMS&DATA Connection... then i have to reboot the phone to make it work again...
Anyone has the same prob???

Task killer gave a strange fault for me. Make a call, talk as you do, screen goes black, loud click in ear piece, screen comes back on. I had task killer set to work on screen going blank. Removed it, fault gone.

Remove the dialer and the android.serviceprovider.apk (something like that) from the task killer auto kill list. Put it on ignore list. It should work fine after that I guess.
Please don't even start about orange uk. I switched from o2 to orange so I could get a white x10. Worst mistake I've ever made. Where I work I get constant signal drop out even though the phone says I have full signal and it 3g signal is always inconsistance, and I work in a major town in essex. Had these problems ever since I've owned the phone and had many an argument with customer services who dont listen to you and just say there are a couple of masts in the area that are broken. Basically orange are full of s**t about there wonderful coverage in the uk!
Sorry you have had to read all that, just my 2 cents.

Ok, so i'm new to this whole android thing and came up on a TB. Sorry for the noobness of this...i did a search, but couldn't find anything relating to my problem. hoping someone could give some advice.
I tried to activate it the other day and it took some time to activate(i guess Verizon's network was down), but the 4g LTE was fully functioning. Phone was recognized on my account at verizon and everything checked out.
however, when i tried to make a phone call, i got the message 'welcome to verizon wireless. your phone number is not active or invalid'. one thing i did notice was the roaming triangle above the signal bars. btw, i did try contacting verizon and they didn't know what was going on..they kept blaming the downed network.
i couldn't get it to work so i had to switch back to my whackberry.
Anyone know what the problem is and how to activate it? any advice would be awesome!
thanks for the help in advance!

hey guys my galaxy s2 is currently on shostock2
and the imei is there and everything i get like 2 bars as service but it says emergency call only and i tryed GS11_repair and hc-ktool
i just cant figure out why i get no service and its unlocked i have a tmobile sim card in it but i cant make calls or nothing everything else works fine except it wont connect to tmobiles mobile network i think in network operators tmobile doesnt even show up only at&t
if some one can help me resolve this issue it would be greatly appreciated thanks you
Go under mobile networks and do a carrier search and see if T-Mobile pops up. Are you in a good coverage area? If it says emergency only then you're probably connected to AT&T towers (which shows your radio works, so that's not the issue)
settings -> more (under wireless and network) -> mobile networks -> Network operators -> scan for networks
I did man only at&t shows up

Yeah, that just sounds like you're having crappy T-mo coverage. You could try flashing a different modem.
I just did I get bars but its still in emergency call only
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Even though you have bars, doesn't guarantee that you are on the T-Mobile network. You can also get bars on other networks if T-Mobile isn't available. This has happened to me before when I drove off in the mountains, and only AT&T was available (I'm on T-Mobile), and I got 4 bars, but it still said "Emergency Calls Only" because I was on the wrong operator.
the problem with my device I never get more than 3 bars

Hey. Yani. Did you solve your problem?
Because I have same issue as you have.
I heard from one of my friend that upgrading gingerbread to ICS might work, so I did that as well. but still the same.
And just to let people know, I am not in the crappy tmboile coverage area. In my other phone, I get five full bar reception with same tmobile sim card.
Any ideas?????
Different phones have different radios, get different amounts of service.
Unless your 'other' phone is another i777, theres nothing to compare.
does it really matter how good of service you get when you only get edge?
APN settings
Did you input the APN settings for T-Mobile? I unlocked mine and run it on Straight-Talk and I had to manually input the APN setting to get it to make and receive calls. Just speaking from my personal experience I would choose Straight-Talk over T-Mobile. You still get the same service as AT&T but its only $45 a month for unlimited everything including data. Just check your APN settings man. Make sure your T-Mobile one is selected if you've already input everything.

Yeah. I tried that and getting a little bit better service. I will try it on Monday because at work see if it is better.
If it doesn't, I guess I have to sell this phone, since I tried almost everything I could.
Thanks for letting me know about Straight-Talk, but I have to stay on T-Mobile. I had a deal with T-Mobile for $100 unlimited txt and data for 4 lines. So I can't switch over for 2 yrs....
anyway, thnx for the advice and will update on Monday night.
Any Resolution?

Hey shpchunjae, did you ever get this figured out? I'm fighting the same problem now (trying to get my i777 to connect to the T-Mobile network) and I'm not getting anything - voice, text, or data. The SIM card works in another T-Mobile phone, so that's not the issue.
Thanks!
I've been using my Verizon Samsung Galaxy SIII for the past few days and three times I've been using the data connection and all of a sudden, it would lose data...
In the notification bar, it would flash "No SIM Card" and then would begin searching for service. It would take about 30 seconds to a minute to regain full service.
Is anyone else getting this issue?

I have been getting that also. My phone is constantly freezing and rebooting. I am getting ready to flash back to stock to make sure my phone isn't dorked.

Hi guys, i'm having the exact same issue! While I'm at my house (3G area, not 4G) when I go to hit talk it immediately drops from 3 signals to the no signal symbol, then I get the No SIM card message too. After a few seconds it'll bounce back and show full signal again. I troubleshooted over the phone with techsupport last night and they recommended to swap out the SIM card or the phone. Went to the local store this morning for a SIM swap and it was better but not 100% fixed while I was at work (10miles from home). Stopped at the store again after work and after some arguing convinced them to replacement (phone would not act up at the store in the 4G area at all, was rock solid). Just got home and again with the new phone and a 3rd SIM card its doing it. I'm not sure what to think now. There were 2 other people in the store complaining of the same issue when I was there, all galaxy s3s. Wondering if its a tower issue in the area (Poughkeepsie, NY area) or software problem. Seems hard to believe its a network issue if the phone itself thinks there's no SIM card in it (and previous phones in the same area worked fine). Maybe some kind of software / firmware issue?
I'm really bummed out. My mom and sister just got the same phone and no problems in Chicago and Detroit areas. What areas are you having issues in? Hopefully we can get more info going, not many postings about this on the web yet....

if you still have IMEI go change your sim card.
Hey,
I was playing around with a few Custom ROMS today, and my mobile data stopped working. The APN settings are correct. I have flashed multiple ROMS but no luck. Even stock ICS ROM. I think I have the wrong modem/baseband combination.
My phone show H+ or 3G icon, but as soon as I try to use the internet, it vanishes. Wifi works fine.
Any ideas?
Seems like incorrect apn.. but you already say it's correct..
Try to Flash the stock modem..

Yes the APN is correct.
Could someone possibly tell me which firmware I should flash? I purchased my phone from Pakistan, but I'm not sure which region it is for. Will that make a difference?
Something happening with this phone. I had the same issue a few weeks later.
I tryed almost every modem available unsuccessful. Just my local carier can solve. I didn't known what they did, but solved until now.
Although your apn settings may be correct, they may need updating.
This sometimes happes in the uk.
Maybe if you tried deleting the apn settings out and then ringing your carrier network up, and asking them to sent your correct apn settings to your phone, maybe this could help.
Its not a dead cerainty but always got to be worth a shot mate

Had the same issue with my GS3 (I9300) after switching from those Straight Talk Bastards to AT&T:
Whereas Straight Talk simply f*cked up b/c of a collapse of their data network, so I assume (with nobody at ST saying a word for 2 days, of course.. ), it turned out that AT&T actually had deleted my new account - by mistake - after just one week of 'happy browsing'.
A trip to the local AT&T store solved the mystery and got me up & running again.
Unfortunately, though, it took the AT&T folks a while to figure it out, as they are not used to unbranded/international/ unlocked phones wanting to join their US network. (Don't even try to solve this over the phone, if you have a choice).
Kudos to the AT&T staff, though, as they got the problem resolved eventually. It definitely helped a great deal that my phone had been working just fine on their network just a week ago, so I was able to stand my ground and insist that the problem was at their end.
One of the reps - apparently without a clue - tried to tell me all sorts of BS, e.g. that the I9300 would not work on AT&T; that some Samsung phones supposedly don't work with their network... bla bla blub blub...
Fortunately, I knew better and told him so. Otherwise, he may have successfully gotten rid of me; making me search for the problem someplace else (a.k.a. giving me the run-around or making me chase my tail, etc. :banghead: )
Thanks to xda (and the Internet), however, I had all the knowledge necessary to make sure they get it back to work. Now I'm browsing the web again with 7Mbps Down/3Mbps Up speeds, using AT&T's really fast HSPA+ network here in the Chicago Northern Suburbs (close to O'Hare)... Yay!
Good Luck with finding the problem with your data loss issue!! :thumbup:
P.S.: Let me know if you need my APN settings; just for comparison (.. in case you are in the US, too).
Cheers,
AA
