I've noticed from time to time that a small popup saying it is refreshing sim data and have dismissed it as normal, however tonight I was at a friends with hit and miss service. There I noticed my phone would turn on without reason however as I was working on it I noticed the popup show up very frequently. I believe it is every time it picks up service it will refresh.
My question is, is there a way to prevent it from waking up or even better to not refresh as the sim is sure not to change.
Thanks in advance

I should also ask if anyone else gets this. I have been searching around and it does not seem to come up much. When it does people mention that they never get this.
I now wonder if its a bad sim or outdated.
Most likely a faulty/old sim card, try seeing if your sim is inserted correctly. If it's still doing it, i suggest you replace your sim. I only saw one user reporting the same problem on this forum.
I've seen this a couple times this week, having never had it happen before. I haven't flashed any new ROMs or installed any apps, so I'd guess it's either a SIM card or signal strength issue.

if you found any answer about this problem say to me also.
Thanks
Alright I went ahead and just requested a new SIM. Im going to head up to a place where I was last night where this happened the most and will report back if that solved it.
Fingers crossed
same problem here
I have the same problem,but what's intresting is that i recently switched carriers and when i was using the previous carrier i did not have this pop up.
And the sim card i was using was brand new,my current operator gave me this new sim,so maybe sim card is not the problem
Btw i am seeing a slight decrease in battery life since the screen wakes up on every pop up
Hmm That's odd, I can say that getting a new sim has solved the problem completely for me and I no longer have this problem.
refreshing sim data
I am also getting this message and waking up the screen frequently... mine is a new sim of vodafone (india) taken around 10 months ago.. i need to try replacing with a new sim
I too face same issue with Vodafone in Hyderabad, India.
I tried to replace SIM 3 times, but still facing same issue..
I got my sim replaced yesterday but the problem never got solved.
The SIM DATA REFRESHING is only when I am on 3g. When I force the phone to work on 2g it is fine.
Also, when in 3G it shows roaming as well (sometimes)
Anyone got any solution.
Are you a Vodafone subscriber

Set network mode to GSM only - its Auto by default (Settings -> More Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode). Will get rid of "Refreshing SIM data" message.
Same is happening to me
I am using a Vodafone sim Since 4 years and never faced this issue. Now when i have taken a GNote2 I am not able to use the Data services continuously the phone chucks the 3G data H+ connection and immediatly i see a message stating "Refreshing Sim Data" This happens almost twice in a minute.
Some one please help me. What do you think will help me really?
This has become a major problem when carrying such a smart device in hand but without internet.
I have an i535 and have had this issue since the jelly bean update. It kicks me off while browsing net, YouTube, playing apps or phone calls. Not sure what the cause is and Verizon tech couldn't help fix it. Anyone please help.

I have had the same issue as y'all since the jelly bean update. I took a look at my network settings and found that my galaxy s3 was set to global by default. Since I have Verizon I changed mine to "LTE / CDMA". We'll see if this resolves my issue.

High all. I just purchased a Vibrant today that was brand new in the box and had never been turned on. The first thing I did was unlock it to work with AT&T. Everything works including 3G, however whenever I try to select any option in wireless settings I get this message "Unable to change networks during data service activation. Do you want to disconnect the data service and change available network?"
Does anyone know what caused this and how to fix it?
Did it ever connect to a tmobile network or did you put in the att sim right away?

I put the att sim in right away as I dont know anyone with tmobile. There must be a way around it. Like in one of those hiden menus.
Its just a notification that its stopping data to find a new source. Mine does that when I switch it to "2g only". Its ok, idata will turn back on after a few moments
^^ yep, i get the same message when i toggle between 2g/3g. not a problem at all.
Ok thanks for the reply guys.

Aite Ive got two samsung vibrants. Bought them both new. Did the exact same thing on both to unlock them and make em work on AT&T.
One works perfect. The other one just says No service no matter what i do. I tried selecting the network manually but it says sim card doesnt support the network.
Next I tried the odin method to put the stock firmware back on. Rooted. Since my unlock codes werent present on my phone, i used the repair_nv_data fix to try and manually set the unlock code(what i did for the other vibrant), but still no luck. Still says no service when i put the sim in. Weird thing is data kinda works. It says no service but the 3G/EDGE icon keeps popping up and disappearing.
Any suggestions?
Search xda for "enabling the 850 band", id look but search is crap on the xda app. Its my understanding that it works better off of at&t towers with that enabled. Hope this helps.

I'm having the exact same problem, except I've had my phone for almost a year and just now got this problem. I can use data to browse, twitter, whatever; but can't make any calls. I tried my SIM card on another Vibrant and it works fine; tried another SIM on mine and still get "No Service". Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi there!
I've found several threads with this issue, but still not that serious like mine.
I've been using my GS II for 3 month without any problem, untill yesterday. During surfing on the net the network suddenly gone away and since I don't have mobile network connection. I've got IMEI, CSC, signal from provider (unlocked phone), my SIM card works in other devices, I also updated the firmware, I made several hard resets, checked other SIM cards, checked the problem with flight mode, but I haven't found any solutions. The signal sign is there in the upper corner, but I'm not able to connect to any providers for 48 hours.
Please help me. I don't know what to do
Maybe a country specific CSC change? I don't know how to do that. I have one .tar file for that but Odin can't install it. I'm a beginner here...
Thanks in advance...
Have you tried checking the access point settings?
Sent from my GT-I9100
Yes. They are fine. I've just changed them and put them to default again because there was no change.
When the phone went offline I was just surfing on the net so I did not change any options.
Any other ideas maybe?
Thanks...
try talking to your provider. Your account may have a problem which could be fixed by a simple reset on their end.
Thanks for the comment. Well, I've tried to use other sims for the same and also from other providers, even a sim from another country, and none of them worked. I also tried to put my sim into another phone and the sim works fine there. The only logical solution is that the problem is with the phone.
I guess it's worth a try, maybe they blocked the IMEI of the phone because of something? It's not a stolen mobile though.
Now I've got a flashed brand new mp4 player from samsung. Nice, it drives me crayz...
Another idea. While I was surfing on the net I installed "advanced task killer" (before the "crash" happened) and I killed some ordinary apps (not sure about this) then I just deleted the program. This connection rejecting thing happened after this. That's why I thought I should make a firmware update, maybe the problem was caused by this task killer. Well, don't know if the is a connection or not...
I have exactly the same proble with my Galaxy SII - I went on a long trip - when I got back it stopped working. Has anyone found a solution to this?
To reiterate - the phone sees all the networks, but when I select Vodafone UK I get the message "unable to select vodafone UK automatically". The sim card works fine in other phones - there is clearly an issue with the phone. The only thing that has changed is I have updated some of my apps on returning home.
Any ideas?

My CSC is XEU (correct for UK as far as I can see - and has worked for the past 3 months)
Sim card works fine in another phone
Network is fine (my wife is also on Vodafone and has no issues - my sim works on the network on her phone)
My Imei is correct
-Everyone else who has had this problem had no joy with a factory reset so I'm loathe to try it until I''ve tried everything else.
Any other ideas?
Just to recap:
The phone is stuck in emergency calls only mode
I can see all my local networks (Vodaphone, Orange etc...)
When I try to connect (in any of the modes 2g/3g) I get the error message
The sim card works fine in other phones
Other people's sim cards have the same issue in my phone
There are plenty of 'Emergency calls only' threads around, but the ones that have my exact symptoms never seem to get solved. Does anyone have any other ideas, or better, has anyone come across a thread where the issue was resolved? Getting pretty desperate.
tried rooting and flashing different modems maybe its a hardware problem with the modem.

i have the same problem in greece galaxy s2 i9100....in ics i havent network in 2.3.5 i have...i dont know why...in cm9 ics i have network...
Last update - I have flashed the phone to Ice Cream Sandwich, (LPQ version), which means I have:
Carried out a factory reset
Flashed a new ROM and Modem
When I rebooted it asked me for my carrier (Vodafone UK) and filled in the APN settings itself. I still have the same issue. I can't work out what is left that I haven't reset/reloaded that could still be causing issue. There can't be many settings left that aren't new?

Success?!?! It looks like we have tracked down the problem (extremely helpful input from another forum). Quick call to Vodafone and it turns out that my IMEI has been blacklisted (stolen!) Imagine my surprise - currently having a very interesting with Carphonewarehouse as to how hey managed to give me a stolen phone - should hopefully have everything resolved shortly

Very odd - when you first boot after a flash does it not ask you to select your contract type (that is the bit that automatically fills in the APN for me?)

Had the EXACT same issue on my Galaxy Note II for two days. My last hope was trying to restore my EFS with the EFS pro app.
Now when enabled my wifi at home and connected to my home network my sim prompted for the pin code.
Strange but I guess it was waiting for a connection (from my home wifi (not any other wifi) from a "half downloaded" app from the play store.
Anyways I'm happy this issue is resolved.
Does your phone prompt for a pincode when you start it? (mine said unable to complete download everytime it booted)
Hope this will help you guys...
Samsung Galaxy "Unable to connect. Try later" issue still remain
Hi guys,
I have the same issue with the following device:
Samsung Galaxy S3
I live in continental western Europe. Operators tried: BASE, MOBISTAR, PROXIMUS, POST.
The IMEI is correct, does not start with 00. The phone was bought from a shop, new, I have the invoice, so is legal, not stolen.
For some unknown reason, suddenly it does not want to connect to the mobile operators, any of them. I see "Emergency calls only". When I try to connect any one automatically or manually, I always get the message "Unable to connect. Try later".
The SIM card work well in another device, a Nokia C3-00. Another SIM does not work in my defective Samung S3. I sent back the device to the shop to be repaired and they gave it back to me saying it work very well, they just upgraded to the latest firmware, etc.
I am very annoyed because the device is unreliable. I have it in my pocket and do not realize it is not connected to the mobile network, I cannot be called or receive messages. Also I am unable to call.
The WIFI work well.
I tried everything, removing the SIM, inserting another, shutting down, enabling and disabling flight mode, nothing works.
But the later for some unkown reason and logic, it just work again for some time.
You guys wrote about some solution by looking in a folder, but I don't see that folder. Also you mention rooting. Does this mean cracking the phone? I do not wish to meddle with this, because I could destroy my device and I paid a lot for it. It will remove the warranty. So if you have a solution, please give a legal one.
Anyone have a hint or explanation for this strange behaviour?
Thanks a lot.
had a similar problem with galaxy core prime.
bought without a sim card and no knowledge of what network it was on.
every sim i tried was getting unable to connect error as i was trying to register on network
dont know if this will work for everyone as mine is a dual sim phone but here goes.
inserted two different sims from different providers, ee and vodafone.
reset phone to factory settings and when it booted back up, it recognised the ee sim card, went to mobile networks and network operators in settings and selected the ee network and presto, it registered ! used sim manager to select voda card and repeated selecting vodafone as carrier and it also registered straightaway
as i said none of the cards would register before on their own, but somehow this method worked for me.
hope this helps
had to set one sim to gsm only and other to autoconnect
Hi,
I purchased a Chinese Android mobile which has the MTK6573 chipset. It is called a Star A3.
Love the phone however I regularly see the alert/error "Restricted access changed" in the status bar and the signal drops off both SIMS. If I pull down the status bar and check details it says "Voice call service blocked".
What is interesting is that it is always the Vodafone NZ SIM card even if I swap cards between SIM slots. Other SIM is 2Degrees.
I've searched the internet but there seems very little info on this subject other than to say that some HD9 users have had the same issue and have Spice Mi 350n users.
Some suggest it could be a IMEI issue but I'm not so sure.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Can provide more info on request.
Thanks in advance.
*** Additional info... I've turned off my SIM data connection which was linked to my 2Degrees SIM and now both SIMS manifest the same error. If I re-enable data on the 2Degrees SIM only the Vodafone SIM gives the error ***
I have the same issue on an IHTC HD2 bought on fastcards with the same chinese android. I don t know what the problem is. Everytime I turn the phone on there is available network, but after 5sec it gets blocked for good. I only have one SIM card and data connection doesn't work. This is freaking annoying ...
Thanks for the attention
Sounds like a slightly different issue than the one I have as my phone will reconnect and I can use it but it frequently drops off.
Perhaps turn your phone on without the SIM card in it and get your IMEI numbers.
You can google websites to check your IMEI numbers are valid. Perhaps they are not valid and your carrier blocks the phone?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Have found one other thing...
If you go into mobile network settings and change the network mode from say Auto to WCDMA only or GSM only you receive the "Restricted access changed" error notification immediately so I'm guessing it is related somehow?
It would appear the "Restricted access changed" notification appears whenever the network mode is changed from 2G to 3G either automatically or manually.
Images attached.
Occam's Razor strikes again
I had this same problem with an unlocked phone on AT&T network. Seemed to happen totally at random. It was driving me nuts, and nobody from AT&T could figure it out.
It occurred to me that the problem might be physical when the phone failed to recognize the SIM at all one time. Seems to be that the SIM card wasn't making good contact with the socket. I put a few pieces of scotch tape on the SIM card so that it fit a lot tighter and made really good contact, and I haven't had a single problem since.
(I don't know enough about it to explain why this worked for me, but I theorize that a loose or weak connection somehow fails out and introduces some kind of garbage data that the phone and/or network doesn't like, and it gets blocked as a result.)
Thanks for the post.
The problem is that between me and my friends there are about 5 of the exact same model all doing the exact same thing.
And ALWAYS when you go into network settings and change from say AUTO (WDSA/GSM) TO GSM ONLY.
Cheers
I'm curious to know if taping the SIM card so it makes better contact solves the problem for you. Does this problem happen with different SIM cards of different brands and networks or do you and all your friends have the same?
Hi again, tapping the SIM card does not appear to make any difference. I've also tried thickening the SIM card by sticking a layer of tape to it.
Seems to happen in low reception areas where the phone may lose signal and then reconnect to the network... I guess similar to how it is replicated by changing network mode.
Can you repliacate it on your phone by change the network mode? e.g. auto wcdma/gsm to gsm only
Hi i had the same version Star A3 iam frome Egypt and had the same problem i tried to put different sims from different agents but the same problem any person can tell me how to connect my android mobile with pc or from where can i get its driver
Thank you

I just changed my htc desire to a one S. Same Sim. It keeps popping up 'preparing sim' and 'restricted access changed'. Never did this in the desire. Only the handset has changed. It's not a poorly fitting sim. You can shake, bash, etc. no effect. It'll happen quite often. Could certainly be as others state when switching from 3g to gsm etc.
It seems I spoke too soon. My phone (Blu Studio 5.3) started doing it again. I can produce the "restricted access changed" message by switching from WCDMA/GSM Auto to GSM or WCDMA only and from WCDMA to GSM or vice versa. It's something with the switchover.
I have noticed that I get Restriction Access Changed message only when 3G is turned on. I turn 3G off and the phone does not lose the network any more. Yet to figure out why it happens...
This started happening to me today and like the post above mine only after switching 3G off does the restriction go away. This is annoying but I'm about to reinstall my rom and see if that helps.
Just had the same problem on my SGS3. Only thing that fixed it was a powerdown and a battery pull. Hope it doesn't happen again.
Same problem
I have tried putting in 2 different sims. i bought a fake iphone 5 from china. it is saying no service: restricted access changed. Please help!!!
I'm getting this today with a Nexus 4 running on O2 UK. I've never seen it before on any phone and have been on O2 for years.
I sometimes can't dial out and calls in are going to answer phone. Also, texts are not getting through.
Airplane mode off/on seems to work.
The weather is appalling here today (Snow) I wonder if it is to blame.
I have contacted O2 and spoke to a guy (who knew a lot less that I did about the device/network). Anyway, a new SIM is being sent out. We'll see.
---------- Post added at 03:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 PM ----------
Update. My wife's phone also not working (O2) although she is not getting the "Restricted access changed..." error in her notification tray.
I can confirm this is happened on my Nexus 4 also. cell reception disappears for a moment then comes back. after that all seems to be working as normal and hasn't caused any problems with me, except for the mystery and intrigue. does anyone know what causes it? I receive the notification "restricted access changed" and then when i pull down the notification bar to look at the notification, the notification is GONE ! it does not stay in there.
I'm definitely putting my Nexus 4 issue with this down to the heavy snow that day. It hasn't happened since.
New Nexus 4 here with t-mobile prepaid. Had it happen last night when I got home for the first time. It was showing 2 notifications, one for voice and one for data. When you click them, they go away. Saw them appear a couple more time through the night and this morning they were also showing.
No snow here though...
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

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.
