well this is awkward...um sure it is a stupid problem but in my x10 an icon came up on the left hand side of the network icon. it looks like a sim card icon with small red cross on it. and now i can't make any calls.. it says "Out of service area"
ermm what happen?
EDIT: I opened the battery, the sim, the sdcard and put them back in and its gone....i wonder why did it happened?
This is totally normal, has happened to me many times and also on other phones.
It's just that you lost network coverage and when you restarted the phone, it re-searched for coverage.
If this happens again, you can do this manually by going to Settings --> Wireless & Networks --> Mobile Networks --> Network operators.
Then choose your default service provider and make sure Search mode is set to Search Automatically.

HELP!!!!
My x10 mini will not find a network signal to allow me to make/ receive calls/ text messages, however it will allow me to browse the internet, use the facebook app and update timescape. for that reason i know it is not a network problem.
I have also tried my sim card in another phone and experiance no problems at all. i have spoke with my network and they inform me that there are no restrictions on my accound that would prevent me having a signal. i have gone through the network settings and tried both automatic and manual selection of the network, the phone tells me that it is registered on the network when i do either of these methods. i have done a factory reset and using the PC suite updated the software [and used the repair function also]. please HELP
When you go to the screen for choosing between manual and automatic registration, do you see your carrier's name?

Yeah,i go to network operators in the settings and it shows O2 - UK, when i click on it it says "registered on network"
but then i get a message in my notification area saying
no service
Selected Network (O2 - UK) unavailable
yet it will still let me onto the web and let me use the FB and timescape apps.
well....went back to the shop where i brought the phone, they scanned the barcode inside the phone and said "yeah, thats your problem...its been blocked" so a straight swap for another one later and i have a working phone again
I can't use mobile internet using Sun Cellular (I'm on plan 350), no 3g icon appears when I enable data traffic but I whenever I use a globe prepaid sim, 3g icon appears.
Tried calling SUN hotline, and they told me that I must go to the manufacturer of my phone.
I'm certain that the problem with my x10 since the same thing happened to me when using Globe prepaid sim but I replaced it and bought a new one and the 3G icon would appear.
Anybody experiencing the same problem?
do you have the correct apn settings? I'm not sure anymore what the supposed setting for sun is and if you really have to set it, i'm not in the Phil. anymore. but try putting in minternet or fbband.
Go here and download an Excel file of any phone setting and copy that to your APN... Or follow instruction on http://suncellular.com.ph/ecs_configure.php

Hi
I have my nice new SGS2 but there is no option for network roaming, only data roaming. In order for me to use orange network i need to re-scan and select tmobile/orange, but only get "G" data connection. When i rescan and select Tmobile i get full "H" data connection. Is this normal or am i missing a setting where it will automatically switch. I have set it to automatically but it does not switch between the two. (it's a PAYG O2 handset but unlocked)
Any ideas or will i just have to switch it all the time. Not a real problem as its onyl in my place of work that t-mobile signal is awful yet orange is fine.
Thanks
I think Everything Everywhere rolled out to everyone automatically but by the sounds of it you were missed out. As you're on T-Mobile you can sign up here:

For anyone on Orange, sign up here:
https://kareena.orange.co.uk/signal/
Also, if you haven't ticked the data roaming then tick it! You won't move to any other network than Orange in the UK. Just remember to turn it off when you leave the country.

Done that but still it does not switch to orange when i have no t-mobile signal. If i do it manually it shows great orange signal....just does not automatically switch...
It won't switch automatically if there is a T-Mo signal available no matter how weak or strong.
Or is there no signal available to you with T-Mobile?

I can't say for the SGS2 but I can tell you how it is on my Hero, and im guessing it should be same on the SGS2 as its an Android setting ...
If you're on T-Mobile, as I am, then scan your network and select "T-Mobile" only and tick the Data Roaming option. That's the only option you need and it's the only option available. This should then automatically switch over to Orange only when you can't access a T-Mobile signal. You'll know its done it as your network will be displayed as Orange as opposed to T-Mobile.
This is how it works on my phone and it works fine. It should be the same on the SGS2 as well.
Also apparently you'll only get "G" or "E" connections on the Orange signal. That's all they are allowing at the moment.
Hi, I have a Hero and that switches fine but the sgs2 will just show no network when i lose tmobile and not switch to orange. I see that if i get orange manually i will only get "G", its just the automatic switching does not seem to work. Checked tmobile web site and they dont have internet settings for the phone yet, but do have mms/sms settings...maybe in june when they release it they will update the settings and ill be able to down load.

They aim to do 3G roaming at some point in the future but for now it's EDGE only on data.
My network currently (ie when I drag down notification bar) is 'Orange T-mobile'
Sent from my Galaxy S2 using XDA App
Im on t-mobile and mine seems to auto switch without setting anything. A few days ago I remember it saying orange but most the time it says t-moble.
PS: the other day I found out my phone had been emergancy calls only for neely 24hrs the only way i could get signal again was to turn it off and on so dont know if that had anything to do with it messing up when it tryed to change
Is it normal behavior for the Amaze to take a two and a half minutes or so to find a signal for the mobile network? Also the "network mode" always defaults to "gsm/wcdma auto" even if I select GSM only.
In this time if I pull down the notification bar and go to quick settings, I am unable to check the "mobile network" the checkbox is kinda dimmed out/greyed out.
If I manually go in and search for network, it will generally connect faster.
Just wondering if this is normal or not... so I know if its a hardware issue and I should return the phone for another.
appreciate any comments.
The GSM/WCDMA selection is "normal" behavior for the amaze. (and it's extremely annoying). It seems to be a setting with the ROM and since I rooted and went with Beast, I no longer have the problem.
As for the searching for mobile network, that's sometimes normal. It generally happens when your in an area where T-Mobile is not the dominant signal and prevents you from latching on to a roaming tower rather than T-Mobile.
Hi!
I have Motorola Razr XT910K, and I am from the Philippines. I have been using the phone for almost a week now and it seems like it won't connect to mobile internet. I got the APN settings saved on the phone and the settings were pushed by the provider. I turned on the Mobile Data, also i checked data roaming as well. I already selected and enabled the APN that was pushed by my provider.
Here's what is going on: when I turn off the data, the "H" is seen beside the signal bars icon but there is a red circle with a slash which means data is turned off. But when i turn the mobile data on, the "H" disappears and only the signal bars icon is left, aside of course from the time and other icons on my notif bar.
Can anyone please help me on this?
My phone is not rooted, running official 4.0.4 ICS.
my mobile network state is either just connecting or disconnected.
I tried to use my sim with another phone and it can connect to the internet.
I don't if i just missed one setting on the phone.

I just got the same problem earlier today, and solve at the end, below is my procedure, just for your reference.
Try "Settings" > "More" > "Mobile networks" > "Access Point Names", and delete those APN(s) that your are not using.
You may also want to try to search APN auto set up in the play store.
my 2 cents
