Hi!
I got an Atrix a week ago and i just unlocked it (I'm dutch and using the phone in the Netherlands). Everything worked exept for the 3G/HSDPA connection. I tried multiple APNs, but nothing helped.
I opened the info menu with *#*#4636#*#* and saw there was an unknown data error. Then I looked at the menu items and selected 'select radio band'. This only showed USA band and I accidentally tapped it. Now my phone can't find any network provider anymore.
I already did a factory reset, but did didn't solve the problem. How can I solve this?
Thanks!
hi
i've also made similir thing. no i am not able use phone. have you found any solution?
and also there is another thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992635
just go into the network selection screen on settings (under wireless...). i keep hitting "usa bands" every time to actually get a 3g connection when my phone refuses to get it by itself since the signal is weaker than 2g.
there's also a "turn radio off" on the info screen that may help you.
Same problem ... any solution ?
------------
update: flshing back solve the problem
This is a super old forum, but I thought I'd explain how to fix this just in case someone needs it. Go to dialer and type in *#*#INFO#*#* then go to phone information and hit the menu button. Then go to select radio band and choose the right one.
EDIT. I guess I didn't read the first post correctly. Didn't realize USA was the only option for him.

Hi there, I am wondering if it is possible for the XDA to work in Australia. I have the upgraded rom from Xda devellopers and have removed the sim lock, but it dosen't seem to pick up the Aus networks.
Any help would be great
What for device are you using? PW10A or PW10B?
Maybe it's a problem with the GSM-networks. PW10A is for 900/1800MHz and PW10B for 900/1900
Have you tried to search manual for any available services?
Stefan
How do I find out the PW10a or b info.... The other version info is as follows
ROM Version; 3.17.03 ENG
Radio Version; 4.21.00
Protocol Version ; 32s54
Sorry, found it....PW10A1
I am guessing no one has any help or info about this. what a wasted purchase.
The XDA/XDA II/XDA III (IIs) do work in Australia.
Where is your XDA from, country? What network are you trying to connect too down here?
I have been told it is from the UK. I purchased it 3rd hand so I can only go by what the previous owner has told me.
In the auto config screen, I get the options for 02 network from UK, Ireland, De and a few others.
I am wanting to connect it to an Optus network preferrably, but any would do.
I have tried Optus (plan and prepaid) and telstra plan, but no signal shows up.
Just clarifying, you have tried Optus and Telstra phone services or data services?
You verified the SIM's worked in another phone?
The sims are able to be swapped into various phones, I have a panasonic gd50, a nokia 7250 and a motorola v600, and an ericson (can't remember what model) and they all work in each other.
The sims are set up as phone service, ie: normal mobile usage, I have even tried an optus prepaid in it.
I am only wanting to use it for the phone service, gprs and net usage is not of interest as yet.
Howdy, I have the same model and it works fine on Telstra. I originally had problems with SIM lock and GID lock, but after upgrading to 2003 from lumpistefans kitchen I've had no problems with it! Good reception and minimal drop out. It's not a waste of money. The ROM i used was the O2 one and did not use the auto config, it finds it for itself and aknowledges the telstra network fine. If you go to an Optus shop they should be able to help, they also have pretty good phone help and should be able to talk you through the settings,
Good luck!
Peace,
Robert
Thanks Ryap. I am thinking that it should automatically find the network tho......is this not the case
I know on XDA II and PDA2K you can select the network or set it to Automatic. Might want to check this setting.
SETTINGS > PERSONAL TAB > PHONE > NETWORK TAB

I think you are confusing the autoconfig of the device with the network setup for the phone.
You can cancel the autoconfig that appears at the end of a hard reset. This just gives you some quick settings for the GPRS and MMS networks - you can add these later after talking to Optus.
Once the SIM is in, you need to make sure the phone is on by switching OFF flight mode. This kicks the phone in. Then if Optus is not picked up as your default network you just go into Settings>Phone>Network and then use the Find Network button and then the Set Networks button. After that you can check the Automatic Network selection button to make the settings stay.

Hi all, thanks for the support so far,
As of now, I can't get any network at all....still.
when i insert the sim and enable the phone it says serching, but thats about it.
I have no idea where to find the flight mode, and when I click on the phone in the settings screen, nothing happens.
I don't get any carrier name or logo come up and appear.
Cheers
Michael
On XDA II (don't have XDA) when the phone senses a service it puts four vetical bars next to the speaker/volume icon at the top of the screen. If you tap the bars it should bring up a pop-up, this is where there should be a line (link) to click on that says "Turn off flight mode". I am not sure if this is part of the original XDA though.
When you clicked on the PHONE icon under SETTINGS it didn't do anything?
At the top bar, next to the speeker, I have a tree type logo and when i tap it it says searching. When i open the phone and then click options, it freezes for about 5 maybe 7 mins and then the settings screen opens, from there it freezes and i can't select anything
Hi all.
I am greatful for you help and support up till now.
I have managed to fixmy problem.
When putting the xda devellopers rom on the pda, ther eis an option calledGSM Band in the programs list.
Well turns out it was set to 900, so i changed it to 900/1800 and rebooted the xda.
WELL HEY PRESTO, IT FOUND THE OPTUS NETWORK
So all is good and all works.
As I mentioned before I am greatful for all the support and thankyou to all who racked their brains over this.
Hi, i've just sim unlocked my phone on monday and put the sim of the company of my choice.
The phone came with 2.1 update pre-installed on the phone and i used it for about 3 hours and the "H" for HDSPA was appearing with no problems, even the "E" for edge appears in some places, but when i made the update to the official 2.3.3 firmware my network went down only to EDGE and no H at all, i went to my cell phone company to do a clean up of my number and still only on E, tried a different SIM of the same company and still E, can anyone help me restoring the HDSPA network please? i've read lots of similar issues in other forums and no answers that can help me, i even have tried a downgrade to 2.1 and the E still appearing as the main network, No H, can anyone help me please? thanks.
you might have to add the internet settings manually go to settings wifi mobile network and apn find online the settings for network and when ya on open apn on phone press menu button and go to new apn and put in the settings and save them it will work

Thanks but i've already put them into the phone and still only on Edge, haven't tried with SEUS or PC companion, hope that can bring "H" back, and also it's not a hardware issue because i'm sure my phone it's an x10a not a x10i, thanks for the help.
Hey guy,
I have a little R above my signal bars in the top right corner of the notification bar. I recently factory reset my phone and now it is there.
I have turned off the User Data packs and mobile network and it is still there.
I have wiped all caches and done hours of research but I am still coming up with nothing.
Also on my lock screen instead of just having the time, date, etc...It has one section that says
Roaming............Home
Time.................Time
Date.................Date
It has two side by side instead of just one big one.
How can I get rid of the R and the roaming time and date on my lock screen?
All help is appreciated.
I am running Cf-Root-SGS3-v6.4
That R, and the description on your homescreen, mean that you are in Roaming mode; you are not in your own carrier's network.
Try connecting to your provider's network, maybe your phone somehow chose the wrong one. (Altough I have no clue how that could happen)
Do you live in an area with poor signal coverage or near a country border?
No I dont live near any borders. I am in the middle of a big city with great coverage. I selected T-mobile as my carrier. When it scanned there was only two options, T-mobile or At&t...I chose T-mobile since that is my carrier.
After selecting, it told me that I was registered on network but my problem didn't change.
Any more ideas?
Any thing else I could try? I called T-mobile and they said they would refresh the connection but I am still having the same issues.
Can you try this ?
Go to Settings / Security / Lock Screen Options.
Disable dual clock on lockscreen while roaming.
Enable it again, it will then ask your current city.
Choose your home town or pick the one with same time change.
I posted a thread about this too.
I did NOT have this issue untill i got the latest update from Kies (friday the 6th).
Now i'm forever in roaming mode as well... cannot seem to turn it off.. I'm on tmobile the phone says it, i've scanned it three times and always selected tmobile..
Really aggrivating..
seems to be something with tmobile and the newest firmware
Build number IMM76D.i9300XXBLFB here.

Just untick roaming in settings, more settings, mobile networks, roaming.
BTW YOU`RE IN THE WRONG THREAD, THIS IS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL S3.
YOU COULD FLASH ANOTHER MODEM IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTS.

If you saw the firmware he posted it says i9300. This is the i9300 forum.
OP, are your APN settings correct?

I have all the correct apn settings and I even went into t mobile to confirm. They didn't have any idea. Their answer was I had a bad phone and should exchange it. My response in my head was, "thanks but...I am sure that Global Mobile doesn't want my broken rooted s3 back haha.."
Helpful, Thank you!
My samsung galaxy s3 is still roaming and I have all the steps I saw in here
go to settings>more>mobile networks>network operators>automatically choose preferred network(Choose automatically)........then you wait for network signal to appear on its normal state.
Woke up this morning with everything working. Got out of bed and place my phone on my desk and turned on my computer. I then looked back at my phone to see i had not service. Confused, i restarted my phone to see if that worked and it didnt. I tried another sim and it didnt work either. i then put both of the sims in a iphone and it worked there. I restored the phone to stock and 2 other roms and it still isnt working. The weird part is when on stock i get signal bars even when their is no sim. When i try to dial out i get "Not Registered on Network"
Any help is great help
Wrong section, ask in the general or Q&A.

Have you checked your Settings? Still got IMEI? ([Settings] [About Phone] [Status]) Phone connected to correct Network Operator? Access Point Names has correct data in it? [Settings] [More Settings] [Mobile Neworks]
Thanks for the responses. I had a rom running on it for a little bit over a week and didnt make any changes since. I also do have an Imei and an apn

It doesnt even show my network operator, thats the weird part it only shows rogers and when i put a sim in for fido (Rogers>Fido) i got service but no h+ even with the correct apn i only got edge
My Network operator doesn't show as a normal either - I do a Search and get (after a wait) Telstra, Optus and Voda - choose Telstra and it pops up a 'Registered on Network' msg.

yeah when i search i only get rogers???? This is the single most awkward thing ive ever seen
EDITTZ Found the problem. The phone switched itself to only look for one band not all. +_+ dont know how it got their and how it pertained through all the wipes but got it working DDDDDDDD
i had the same very exact problem..and yes when its in auto mode it only detects gsm signal so the data is slow signal is E.
i usually use the wcdma only option so that the phone on searches for 3g h and h+ but now when i select that option it only gives me
not registered on network..and no data signal at all.. and also the weird thing is that there is a signal bar on it plus when i scan for
network it searches the other two carrier brand on our country not the sims own carrier. help anyone

Hey xTristinx, glad you got your phone working.
I have the same problem on my Galaxy S, my SIM wouldn't register a network on it but it worked on a different phone. My Galaxy S still gets a signal but always says "out of service". I think this might be a problem because my friend used his SIM card in my phone and it f***** up the bands. Could you give me any suggestions on how you fixed your problem?
Thank you.
Phone specs out of the way first: GT-i9300, Android 4.3 (via OTA), sim unlocked, not rooted, Baseband i9300UBUGNF1, Kernel 3.0.31-2320216, and the IMEI matches the frame.
So I've got a problem that's very similar to a lot of other people with one or two exceptions. I get the "Mobile Network Not Available" error message and I've tried the suggested fixes except for the Ariza patch and I haven't tried changing my modem. I don't want to jump into either of them yet because I'm not sure my problem is the same as all the others. Here's why:
When I go to set the network manually via Settings > More Networks > Mobile Networks > Network Operators > Wait till your device is searching for operators. Once the search is done it will show a list of Network Operators ... Nope, not mine. Mine shows nothing and goes right back to the menu showing Search Networks and Select Automatically. Tapping Search Networks brings the same result. If I set the Network Mode on the previous menu to GSM only, it takes less time to search, but still returns nothing.
Also, I don't have any bars. Not as in having bad signal, but as in there is no signal strength indicator in the status bar. Instead, I have a circle with a line through it next to the battery level indicator. I can not even make emergency calls with the phone.
I haven't found anyone with this particular problem yet, even though I've been searching all day. Perhaps I'm not searching for the right thing?
I've tried an old ATT sim and an active GivMobile sim, both with the same results. Both sims will register networks on other phones. I started out on 4.1.2 and did the OTA updates to get to 4.3 with no change in symptoms. I did a factory reset before doing the updates. I've never had a custom ROM on the phone. The IMEI doesn't show up as blacklisted on any site I used to check it. I even went as far as replacing the SIM card reader.
Could my antenna be bad? Could I have the wrong modem for the networks I'm trying to get onto? Any opinions or direction would be greatly appreciated.

"(via OTA)" means you have samsung's original ROM?
Reflashing a Samsung-based ROM fixed my IMEI problem some months ago. I don't know if you are on a custom or original ROM, if it is a custom ROM I believe that you already know the process...
Revolution HD 53 is a great custom samsung-based ROM and fixed my issues. Be careful on what you flash, if you're going to do this
Im having the same problem as you had. Just wondering if you found out how to fix your phone. Ive a samsung j3(2016) SM-J320FN. Got a new sim the other day and have been trying everything to get service, restored to factory setting but nothing seems to be working. Like you nothing came up in network operators. Sim works fine in other phones. If anyone can shead some light on the suituation please feel free to reply
