I got my 4G a week ago and was working fine. Until yesterday my friend called me and requested me to use the *#*#4636#*#* code to check the Radio Bank in the Phone Info. It shown USA and I just pressed once and then returned. Also clicked the "enable data connection" and the 4G lost connection with the network. I am using China Mobile which works perfectly fine. I did a factory reset hoping this wuld resolve the problem.
However after numerous trials including flash the ROM and still could not resume to normal. I went into the Phone Info and saw that there are exceptions in the Phone Info screen. (per attached).
I chatted online with Motorola service desk and the lady asked me to send back the phone for repair. If I have a solution, I don't want to do that.
Can anyone advise me what's happening to my 4G and how can I resolve this problem? Would it be a "soft brick"?
Thank you...Peter Chan

Hi Peter,
I got exact the same problem :-(
Spoke to a Level 2 specialist of Motorola, but even they couldn't do anything. The only option is sending in the phone, but then you need a US return address.
If you do find a solution could you please post it here?

This might solve the problem...
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!
Might need a new sim card...
Sent from my ThunderBolt using XDA Premium App
i tired two sim cards already...no luck.
hello Guys,
This may be a simple question I just don't have the simple answer too
I sell my HTC hd2 and wondering to get something new, so I get Motorola photon 4g w/o plan, yesterday it arrives directly from motorola.store for $549
I`m leaving far away from USA, our country is Azerbaijan, Baku. it is 3000m. away from Turkey.
anyway, photon 4g came with his sprint Sim card (with ICC ID code on it)
I took it out and installed our network card, i tried 3 different sim card from different networks, but i can not receive or make any calls, on screen network is in range, but it can not register in network completely,
keep showing:
"contacting Network"
then:
Hands Free Activation
"Your activation could not be completed"
well we do not have here Sprint or AT&T and etc. so i can not call anybody to ask anything
is the tel is block or ? how can i use it with my network sim-cards?
thanks to all in advance, i`m new to motorola.
Call Sprint, there should be a sticker giving you the number on the phone when you buy it. If I answered what you were asking...

I called them, they keep asking sprint cell. phone number. do i have it ?
Interested in this as well as I may be on the same boat pretty soon.
If you bought it off-contract, I don't see why you'd need a Sprint account...

sorry did not had internet...
anyway i did not get any reply from sprint only massage:
Dear Sprint Customer,
Thank you for your inquiry. I am thinking that if you bought a new Motorola Photon you would have needed to activate the phone in the US before you left on your trip. Phones will not activate internationally. I do apologize.
Thank you,
Patty (rd756540)
after that i get in "mobile networks" then "Network Mode" in phone
"Sprint only"
"Any CDMA"
"Any GSM/UMTS"
"Automatic"
well i put on automatic, then network came
after that i gone to "Select Network"
"GSM only - Saves Battery"
"UMTS Only - Better performance"
"Automatic - Default'
(What is i this???
Anyway I Choose automatic - as i said network came and phone is working, but you need to do it after each restart of phone.
Also it also working like in roaming mode, i mean phone showing everything like in roaming.
USSD codes are not working at all
so it is still problem.. i do not know really what to do , any suggestions?
is it any way to install new rom with completely "sprint" things off the phone?
Sometimes after I reset the my phone I get the notification "restricted access change".
At first i thought it might be sim card since it is a new phone. So I switched it with my wifes and she put mine in hers. Her phone worked perfectly but when I turned mine on, It worked for a bit (sometimes does this also) then eventually stops working.
* no Texts can be sent or received and no calls can be received. If I try to call someone it stays on dialing and I can't cancel the call. (stays as if I am calling and have to reset phone)
Sometimes It doesn't show error, Just stops all of the above anyway.
Any suggestions or comments? anything would help.
Did you ever get to solve this issue? I am getting it on my T-mobile S3.
Tmobile could not solve the issue. Now sending the device to Samsung support to see any hardware issues...

I am getting this error too on my T-Mobile S3. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT:The reason I was getting this error was due to the guy I got my S3 from closed his t-mobile account without paying the ETF. Therefore my S3 now has been blocked on Tmobile network. The guy gave me a refund on the phone tho.
Hello its been awhile since i have posted on here. Anyway i have a photon 4g thats unlocked and rooted and all that running pageplus. Now the other day i think one of my kids got ahold of my phone. When the phone starts now i get a nag screen from Sprint wanting me to activate my phone on their network. I can cancel out of it and my phone works fine. The other thing my phone is doing is its constantly stuck in roaming mode and the symbol no matter if im local or not stays on. Im not running any other operating systems on this phone only the stock one. Can anyone help me get rid of the roaming symbol and the sprint activate your phone screen please.
I'm interested to hear how this goes because I have my wife's line on Pageplus, and I'm thinking about moving my Photon to them once my Sprint contract expires. You might have to do a factory reset. When you activated your phone, did you have to send it in by mail or is there a store that did it for you?
i can do the work for you remotely. only problem is i charge for my services and i dont think xda likes tha so im not going to say anymore
