[Q] Signal bars not showing :( Help Please - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

i have installed MiniCM7-2.0.7 in my X-10 MINI about 1 month ago. Till last night it was working fine.
But last night i got a problem which still persists. I am not able to get the Network signal bars in my phone and due to which i am not able to connect the call or do the internet. But the phone is showing the carrier name in notification bar while pulling down it.
However, i Have tried installing the rom again before complete wipe-up but the problem persists.
please have a solution!

Try this way.. Go to settings->wireless settings->mobile network->network operator ..and then select the operator manually.. I guess it should work..!!
Gintonic.SE + zombie-pack kernel by slade ..

tried dial *#*#4636#*#*
select "phone information", you can view every information regarding your radio quality, the signal strength, network band, etc.
press menu button and "select radio band", test it one by one, if you unsure select "automatic"
if everything failed, the problem might be your simcard or your network operator setting, you should contact your network operator customer service.
(i doubt it's your phone hardware/software problem, unless you just force unlocked bootloader that your phone didn't meet the criteria to be unlock)

not solved the problem!
anyone..........

issues reconnecting to mobilicity network -canada, please help!

Hello there I currently have an unlocked vibrant currently on the mobilicity network in Toronto, Canada.
The phone works well, no issues except for establishing and securing a connection with the network provider. Every time I go to an area where it loses service, like parking garages or subways it loses the connection- obviously- but when you get back to an area where there should be service I only connect to the roaming service. This is leading to extra costs since my plan has charges for that.
What I do now is when i go somewhere with no service i switch to flight mode. When i get back where there is service i have to usually turn the phone off and restart it and search for a network manually.
Are there any apps, hacks, or fixes that can stop me from seeing or detecting roaming services, and force the phone to lock on to my network provider's service?
I want to use it only in the current home zones, and if out of one, i accept the fact that the phone does not work at all. I am always in the coverage zone and never want to use it while roaming.
can anyone help?
At the setting, there is an option there Data Roaming, you need to check or uncheck it. Select the option that will prevent you from doing data roaming and that should fix your problem.
On the otherhand, I have a question for you. I have the same phone and same provider, mobilicity. Our problem is the 3g connection. It is spotty sometimes the 3g icon appears and then disappears. Does this happen to you? I noticed the problem occurs when I go under like basement when there is no signal. After resurfacing, I gell signal reception sometimes full but the 3g or data connection won't work. To solve this, we would usually shut down the phone and restart it. Do you experience the same problem? If yes, what was your fix. Thanks.
David
Same problem here. Any guidance will be appreciated.
I've done the suggestions for Wind but to no avail.
same mobile , same provider , same issue
hai guys i have the same issue , but my thing is more worser than you.....when ever i go to an underground parking my 3g gets turned off and wen i come out from that place i cant able to make or receive any calls .....i need to restart the phone to turn on the signal again...its really weird any one have the solution ?????
Hey all, I have a Vibrant on Wind, this is what I do.
Go to settings.
Wireless and Network -> Mobile Network -> Network Mode ->WCDMA only
This enables that you stick to Mobilicity's 3G network and not roam on the Rogers 2G network.
If you lose signal, you will not roam, but simply not be connected until you move out and pick up Mobilicity's signal again.
Hope that helps.

I found this on Howard forumns:.... I know this post is old but the solution could help someone who recently bought a old for to get used to customization /flashing.>>> Hope its useful
From Post:
--------
It works!!! It totally works!!!! I love it! Thank you so much guys!!!! Now I don't have to restart my phone EVERY morning as soon as I pull out of the underground garage in my car!!!
Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!!!!!!
Dial: *#*#197328640#*#*
Click [1] debug screen
Click [8] phone control
Click [7] network control
Click [2] band selection
This is where you make a change, default setting is [1] automatic, which means it chooses automatically between gsm/cdma (Edge vs 3g). So we are going to change this and set it to wcdma band which is 3g.
Click [2] wcdma band
Click [1] wcdma all []
Now it should display “select wcdma all bands[*]"
Now on the bottom of your phone, click the menu key, it’s the one next to the home key, now click back, menu again one more time, back one more time, this is just to confirm it set to number 2 wcdma band.
Now click menu key one last time, click end.. and you are done. Now to double verify that the phone is locked into 3g, dial in: *#*#4636#*#*
Then click phone information Then scroll down to “set preferred network type” It should now have listed “wcdma only.” PS, if you tried to do a shortcut, and just set wcdma this way first without doing the lock above, it would just go back to gsm/cdma auto once you exit the screen.
Your phone should now be locked into 3g.

Again found on Howard forumns and copied and pasted to word doc. to keep for my mum as she gets the phone.... I got her the the 27.50 holiday plan so she can call anywhere to anyone in North america with unlimited data....coverage is good so far...
P.S. i dont allow roaming as to not incure more charges.
I know this is an oldish thread but.
Trying to fix connection issues and the Dial code does not work for me. It just does nothing when I enter that. The only code that works is *#*#4636#*#* and that does not help me.
Anyone else having this issue and know why it's not working. I have an Amaze 4G. Only posting here about this phone because this is the only thread I could find related to my issue.
Searched all over now. Those codes are to be the only solution and they don't do anything on my phone.
Anyone have answers?
I have a mytouch 4g (it's actually the htc panache) that just suddenly wouldn't connect to the network after I restarted it. When I try to add a network manually, the only option I have is to connect to Canadian roaming...

No Network Operator List and No Connection

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

[PROBLEM] GSM network switching - how to disable

HI, I am a lucky (for now) owner of OPX.
I have problem with network switching. Iam living in small village and i have to use network roaming (yes, i can use others providers network as well for free - in my country).
I'am in P4 network(base/mother network), but in my village there is no good signal for this network - so, i just using another one - usually PTC 3G because this network has best signal in my area.
I have few android phones in the same network (P4) and when i select network, phones do not switch to any other network - even if there is no signal of this network (Nexus4, Nexus5, Sony Xperia Z and CAT S40).
With OPX its different, and very problematic. When i switch to PTC network, it works and not switch to any other network until i left the phone and let it for sleep... (5-10 min) then network switch to the base network P4 and ussually there is no signal in this network, and i have to wait until i can make a call or send SMS message. I dont have the problem with any other phone. I see, that the problem intensifies in specifed room, where is Wifi(dualband) router - but not only. I suppose, its software problem.
EDIT: Switching to P4 network happens when phone screen is off and phone is in idle, after turn on the screen and waiting few seconds, phone ussualy connecting to PTC netwok with good signal.
Screen with bad signal: 1drv.ms/1JmvSU1
EDIT2: I found another freaky thing, after while of phone IDLE, iam turning on screen, and there is full P4 signal, after 1-3sec freeze (yes, freeze, laag) signal agin is 0 and i can enter phone PIN code to unlock.
And there is my question, how to make this works well ? Is there any way to force select only one network ? (i dont need switchning). Maybe can i do this with root privilieges ? I hope, you can help me guys.

No service in Europe with Japanese SO-03F

Hi guys,
I own a Japanese Z2, originally by docomo (SO-03F) and flashed the English firmware I found in this forum (not sure for which area tho), except obviously the modem which I needed to use the docomo SIM.
I came back to Europe, unlocked the phone through an online service which worked fine but none of my SIMs can get a signal or behaves very weirdly.
I tried flashing the modem from the ROM I used before but then I couldn't get any reception and looking for networks through settings didn't show anything. With the Japanese ROM modem, I can find networks if I look manually but I can't connect to them. It shows "Selected network unavailable" and or "Can't connect to network at this time." after selecting the correct one.
I tried fiddling with the settings, different network types etc in the normal menu and in the one accessible through entering *#*#INFO#*#* but nothing helped. The phone number in the menu is shown correctly. As preferred network type, LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) is selected.
I have an older sim card in the right format which can't connect (works fine in other phones) but SOMETIMES I get like 2 bars for a few minutes. It's for phonecalls and SMS only. The internet only card I have is smaller so I need an adapter and won't connect at all. Is there something I can do about this?
Thanks a lot!
