Hello guys finally got my hands on the att Gs2
First problem is When i check my mobile phone number in settings it shows it as unknown, I bought the phone with no commitiment so i just put my sim card if that has to do with anYthing, everything else works great.
Also my phone gets pretty hot after some web broWsing or moderate use, is that normal? Mostly around the Back area around the camera
i have a friend with that same "unknown" issue on his tmobile phone and he was told it was a carrier issue. He had to go to them to fix it. Not sure if yours is the same problem. I dont know what they did to fix his problem but you might simply need a new sim card.
as for the phone getting hot, I know all phones get warm when they're in use but around the camera is pretty odd. Maybe bring it in for the first issue and ask them about the 2nd one, too.
Thanks for the reply, yeah ill have to take it to att and see if they can fix

Hello all
Right im a bit confused. Went to bed phone was fine, woke up this morning and it keeps saying no network coverage then finds it works for 5 mins then says no network coverage again and thats it, never finds a network again.
using modaco 2.2 and have been since it was released with no problems up till now. on orange as well
any ideas will be welcome
Sounds daft this, but have you checked the sim is still fully 'clicked in'? My sim card holder seems a little weak, occasionally it slips free and presents exactly the same problems you're having.
yes first thing i tried
have also tried swearing at it and treating it with care and love
neither work
Damn, you covered all my bases there!
Hey, I posted this over at AVForums and didnt get a response and thought that you guys over here are probablt better informed. Below is a quote of the thread I started:
Well to start off, i'll tell you I am on the one plan with 3 and have a brand new sim free htc evo 3d.
Ive had the phone for about 2 weeks and it has worked perfectly ever since I got it. About 4 days ago, I noticed that texts were taking hours to come through. I then noticed that calls were never coming through and going straight to voicemail. Called 3, they blamed the phone but made sure call diverts were off anyway.
Calls were still going straight to voicemail but occasionally when phoning my number, I would get the dial tone but my phone wasnt ringing. I then put my misus t-mobile sim into my phone but I was getting the exact same problem, no calls were coming through. Couldnt put my sim into my misus phone as its sim locked.
I called 3 again, they said it must be the phone. I phone Amazon, they say phone HTC. HTC couldnt help so Amazon agreed to replace the phone. I now have old and new phone in possession. Using my old phone earlier today, I could no longer send text messages but I could receive them ok. The occasional call was coming through but most werent.
Ive now just set up the replacement phone. Everything was working fine for the first 5 minutes but now I cant send texts and calls arent coming through again.
Logically thinking, it surely cant be the phone and must be the sim card, but then again, my misus t-mobile sim showed the same problems in my phone which suggests it is the phone!
Im obviously going to phone 3 tomorrow but I want to be prepared for my argument. If it does end up being the sim, how can I explain to Amazon that I have opened the replacement phone but now need to send it back because there was nothing wrong with my phone in the first place. Surely they would be entitled to charge me or something for doing that?
Hope it all makes sense and I look forward to your responses!
EDIT: Forgot to mention that data is working fine. my 3g connection did drop at work the other day for no apparent reason, but calls and texts were working fine during this period, I guess its more when connected to 3g. There is no gsm only mode to test the phone either!
EDIT 2: Sometimes when calling my phone, I get the dial tone but my phone doesnt ring. However when the screen is on and the phone is out of standby, my phone receives calls fine! It does sometimes goes straight to voicemail but its just so confusing! I just did a test there, phone in standby, called it from my landline. I get the dial tone, but the phone doesnt ring. Whilst im still calling it, I wake my phone and it starts ringing! What the hell is going on!!!
Just a quick update and really hoping someone can offer some input!
I am at work just now, about 5 miles from my home address. So far today, my phone has been working fine at work. I visted the 3 store just round the corner from here, told him my story and he sadi it must be the handset due to the same issue with a t-mobile sim. I did mention the 3/t-mobile network sharing agreement and how they could be connecting to the same masts but he was adamant that no such thing exists. He also argued that the auction for the old analogue spectrum was for additional 3g capacity and not 4g. I did argue with him but he was clueless!
Anyways.... My phone worked fine in the shop so he said test with another sim card and if the problem persists, they would change the sim card. Ive came back to work and again, everything works well. I tried a vodafone sim card and again, all is ok!
When I think about it, my phone has pretty much worked fine when at work apart from not being able to connect to 3g the other day. This leads we to believe that there was be something wrong with my local mast at home, but if this was the case, why has it not been widely reported? Then again, the T-Mobile sim didnt work in my phone when at home, but worked fine in my misus htc desire. I have noticed that she is connected to 't-mobile orange' for 3g when its usually just 't-mobile'. Is it that her phone recognises a problem so switches to an orange mast?
This is doing my head in!
Thanks
EDIT: Sorry for posting in the wrong thread, I did wonder if I goty it right but clearly I didnt!

Moving to Q&A
I'm having problems with my Galaxy SII, on Orange in the UK. There are huge problems with the signal. Bear in mind I have recently bricked the phone, but resurrected it with a short stay in the airing cupboard.
With the SIM in, I can get a decent signal at first, but this then drops away to nothing, pretty quickly. Sometimes, I don't even get the signal.
However. with the SIM out, I get a full signal for emergency calls. At this point, it looks like a network issue, with patchy signal.
However, I then swap the SIM over to my HTC Desire, and get a reasonable signal sitting at 2 bars now. Same is true outside where I had 4 bars on the HTC, and nothing on the Galaxy.
Any thoughts on this one? I am a bit frightened of calling Orange as I no longer have my insurance with them, and their repair department is a bit unprofessional - last time I called them, they started making an insurance claim on what was a warranty issue without even telling me, until they told me about the excess I would pay.
I'm running Gingerbread.BVKI3, version 2.3.4.
Thanks.

flash another modem , i recomand xxki4 , via CWM . use search button and type : modem , click on first link and you will find a lot of modems.
OK, got to the next stage of things - I can't flash a new modem using Odin, as my phone isn't recognising. Not even without Odin. I am getting the MTP connection come up on my phone, and it is charging perfectly well, but I can't get any access to it on the computer, not even as an external drive. Is this potentially a phone problem, or is this a software/drivers/hardware problem? I don't recall any permanent problems before it got bogwashed (occasional connection issues, but easily solved by disconnecting and reconnecting). If it is a phone problem, are there any fixes? I just want to flash the modem, not do a whole system reflash. The external and internal SD cards are still working fine.
And I will need step by step instructions to achieve this. Whilst I am good with computers, I tend to leave my phones alone to avoid invalidating warranties and the like.
Hello! I want to start by telling my english is not the best so i will do my best.
I have an s6 edge 925f that is around 1.5 years old. The battery is really bad so i watched a change battery movie on Youtube, ordered new battery. Got the battery and started to open up my phone.
Everything whent well some things was hard to figure out but nothing was broken and new battery is in. I started the phone and tested functions to confirm everything was ok. So i thought everything was ok until i was going away from home and my wifi was away. Now i noticed i got none signal from gsm.
Checked my sim card and controlled all settings and nothing helped. Opened the phone again and could not find anything wrong. So how can i continue my troubleshooting? Where is the antenna and what could got broken?
Another wierd thing is when i was drivning into another village my LTE signal found network so i thought everything was fine so i drove home. When i got outside LTE area the gsm was totally off again.
Any ideas whats happening with my phone?
Best regards Christian.
Anyone?
I have the same issue. I checked everyhting and all is well connected. Sometimes it will take LTE/4G signal but the phone gets very hot. If I leave it to GSM only I do not have any problem. Temperature is normal etc.
I have same issue with my phone and i think it is GSM unlock or faulty GSM IC because i purchased it second hand from somebody
Somebody told me i can fix this issue for you just by software modifying but i didnt trust him, have you checked your IMEI is real by checking in imei.info
The IMEI is real. The location of the antenna is in the midframe? Maybe a bad connection of some kind.
Hello XDA Community,
Last Saturday my P20 Lite updated overnight. Sunday morning, when I checked the phone, the sim card picture with the (!) inside was on the top of the screen along with the message "No Service".
It had to be something related with the update (I guessed). Restarted the phone and all good. But only for a while. 30 minutes later the issue came back again. And then again, and then again. The phone works fine for a few minutes (good signal, 4G comms perfect, calling and texting too) and then it's just like someone has removed the sim card. If I'm connected to Wi-Fi, everything works except for the calling/texting.
Cleaned the slot, cleaned the sim card, network settings restored and still the same.
The solution to have network again is to turn the flight mode on and off all the time.
It seems to me that this is a software glitch rather than hardware.
Anyone having the same problem?
Thank you guys.
Same issue
Hi,
I've got the same issue here. Update just before I went on holiday and now I get a signal for a little while then it goes to no service. When it's ok you can check signal quality no problems. Once it stops it just keeps going back to main options screen, looks like a software bug to me.
Any one have any suggestions?
Update
Hi,
I've been in touch with my provider and they gave advised the usual:
Check coverage is ok - yes
Check some works in another phone - yes
Factory reset - not tried yet.
Anyone else have the same issue or an idea?
Exactly the same issue with mine since the update. Are Huawei actually going to fix this or are they just staying quiet?
What a piece of ****. After 3 days trying everything and resetting to factory still the same. No patch available. Terrible Huawei service say they're working on it.
I just went out and bought another phone. Mine is just 3 months old. Any ideas? Or is it scrap?
Support
I messaged Huawei in Twitter and they asked me to DM them but I can't for some reason. They wanted IMEI number so I'm no further on.
I have found that if you put the phone in aeroplane mode and then re-enable WiFi it is usable (except for calls).
Can anyone else message Huawei in Twitter to see what response they come back with.
Having the same problem here. Emailed and tweeted Huawei but no reply. Also experiencing slow charging, fast battery run-down, and general performance issues since the update. Phone is just 3 weeks old, bought in GB but now being used in Australia. SIM worked fine in my old British bought phone. Can't afford a new phone has anyone heard anything?
Location services
Hi,
I found that I was able to use all services if I disabled location services.
Got a popup about network time but the phone is at least usable - as a phone too!
I'm on holiday at the moment so will chase up Huawei when I get back and let you all know how I get on.
Did anyone ever get a solution to this having the same problem abroad currently
Mine resolved itself, but then come the NEXT update exactly the same thing has happened. It's been about 2 weeks now and the phone is practically unusable with fast battery run-down and slow charging too. Huawei customer service is terrible and don't give me any solution beyond a factory reset which I've tried to no avail. I'm also overseas too having purchased the phone in the UK and am now using it in Australia.
Did you guys get the phones working again?
