Its really frustrating so please if anyone know how to fix this issue help me
Oh i did hard reset wipe everything and the issue still there do i have the faulty unit?
Thanks alot

I'd get it exchanged asap.
the problems is this is not my phone originally i bought it off someone it work fine till recently (about a week).
Ibring it to Bell, Bell refused to service it they need the original receipt. but it's clearly a Bell branded phone and it just release not long go??
Then i contacted Samsung Canada, they too told me that the need the receipt! the supervisor even told me if i have it a day and no receipt they will not honor the warranty.
Does this making any sense at all to you guys? anyhow, I canceled Bell service and also did email to Samsung Canada and will email Samsung in Korea as well when my friend free this coming up week, he is korean
anyhow, thanks for your help
im so excited before and now super pissed and sad!!

Hi, I saw someone is selling a galaxy s2 on ebay but he mentioned that the phone was unlocked but doesn't read sim card.
what do you guys think? easy fix? or hardware problem?
thanks
Try to perform a factory reset, if not bring it to the service center. My friend also has the same issue but it ended up as a repair , something went wrong with the contact points as per service center.
I'd be wary... Could it be because the phone has been reported as lost or stolen and blacklisted by the network? If that's the case and you buy it, there's no way you're going to get it to read your sim. Given that it's a recent phone, all the legit units are in warranty so I find it a bit strange that the seller wouldn't bother to have it fixed.

Could be, but he said he has receipt, I asked why did not bring to bell to get it fixed, he said he doesn't want to wait 3 months to get it fixed (3 months is what bell told him)...

Hi All,
Recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S2 from Gumtree online. It was only working on o2 network so got at unblocked from a guy at a market stall so that it works on all network sims. It was working fine for about a week but then randomly came up with a message saying "emergency calls only" and I coulnt make or recieve calls or texts even if i changed the sim to o2. The internet was still functioning correctly however.
Called network provider and have been told that there is a bar on it by an insurance company. Tried to get back to the seller but have not been able to contact him. Have reported him but I would just like to know is there any way to unblock this phone at all? Dont want to lose out on all the money spent on it. would it be worth downloading any unblocking applications if the phone has a bar on it?
Please any ideas, comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Apologies for the long message
Thanks

This forum is for the SGH-I777 (AT&T version, four capacitive buttons at the bottom.)
You're in the UK and bought from the UK equivalent of Craigslist, so you likely have an I9100. This isn't the forum for you.
Either way, nothing anyone here can do to help you - we are all AT&T customers.
Not to mention, sounds like you bought a hot (stolen) phone. Only the carrier it was first connected to can unblock the IMEI and unless you can prove you bought it legitimately they are unlikely to do so. If the insurer already paid out on a claim then they will never do so. Buying from unknown sources is a bad idea.
So in short, sounds like the guy got scammed.

Hi All,
I have samsung Galaxy S2 AT&T one (SGH i777). I have been using with proper care so far now. One day suddenly my power button stopped working. As it was out of warranty , I went to local phone repair shop in San Jose, CA, USA(Which has good ratings on yelp). They fixed the problem. But at the same time my simcard was not recognizing at that moment. So I thought may be i have to take new sim. So I visited AT&T store. They did software data reset and tried with new simcard. Still my phone always shows "Please insert simcard" and at range position it shows circle with one line it.
Has anybody experienced this problem ? Will the rooting of my phone help in this case ? Please advice me . Phone is in excellent condition and as it was my first android device I dont want to throw it .
I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Gaurav
Sounds like a hardware problem. Was this an issue prior to the repair of the power button?

Hi Guys,
Can anyone help me as I was just told that my Samsung Note II can not be repaired at all. Here is the whole story, it randomly concked off and showed nothing beyond the first screen " SAMSUNG Note II GT N7100". I was asked to do a hard reset and reboot, after using Odin and Kies nothing really worked. Post which I gave it for repairing to an experienced person, he tried everything possible concerning the software but later came back saying the mother board needs to be changed with bomb of an expense. I had not option but went ahead with his suggestion but later he got back to me saying " my IMEI Number can not be registered since its another country phone" i.e. UAE & I am in INDIA, so he suggested to try a known Note II pals IMEI number, after doing that it worked but the network did not accept and could not be used as a phone and therefore he gave up.
1) Is the 35K INR spent on it is gone in drain?
2) Can SAMSUNG help me with fix this?
3) What if i try with a friend who travels to UAE frequently to get it repaired from there with the new motherboard and imei registration?
I would really appreciate your honest, rational and a solution way forward to my above concern. Thanks friends!

So, I've been having an issue with sending SMS messages on my S3 for awhile, and Verizon determined that it was an MIN collision issue from an S3 I had stolen last fall. Basically, I can't send text messages at all, and it's been this way since February. I tried network reset, top tier tech tickets with VZW, phone reset, ROM wipe, new SIM card, etc. Nothing worked. So Sunday I call, and the guy told me the antennae on the S3 was buggy, and that maybe the new MIN on the network wasn't downloading to the phone right. SO, he tells me that he can send me a new (in the original manufacturer's packaging, not refurbished) S4 as a replacement since I'd tried everything else. Even though it had a locked bootloader, I agree, as I really want my texting back. I received it not an hour ago, and it's a refurbished model, not even in the original f**king box. So, my question is, does Verizon still have new S4 devices to send out? If they do, do I have a valid reason to call and complain since what I was told on the phone, on a recorded call, is different from what I actually received? Thanks in advance for all help

They probably do, but very few amounts. They probably needed more space for the S5. You could call them and complain that a Verizon Rep told you that you would get a new S4 from them. Unless the rep lied, or he didn't say that you would get a "new" S4, Verizon can't really deny your claim.
