Hello,
I bought a brand new sim free s2 from ebay a month ago, it seems for some reason to come up with today "Mobile Network not available" and will not make call or text even though I have a full signal. I cannot seem to get around this problem. Ive tried putting latest firmware on it (KI3), adding orange as CSC and nothing seems to work. Internet works through orange network. Sim card works in my iphone and also put in o2 sim and does the same thing.
I cannot seem to find a post on here that tells me a solution or anywhere else. So if you can shed some light this would help a lot.
Call *#*#4636#*#* and switch to correct band

Hi, thanks for your reply, but menu comes up as testing and has following menus to it phone information, battery information, usage stats, wifi info.
Also when you go to search network, says unable to search networks during data service activated, do you want to disable data service and search networks?. Press ok and searches networks, as im on orange I select orange and says same thing again and then press ok and says unable to connect.
God this is driving me mad.
I contacted orange to check if network barred and gave them the serial number and they checked national database and said it has been network blacklisted. Ive now got a ebay dispute with seller about this, so hoping I get my money back. Beware people with sellers selling phones, Ive had phone 2 weeks and on xmas day it went off and no network connection. Can easy be done. I guess either a lost claim with insurance company or stolen. But dont think it was as it came with original box and brand new accessories. So leaning to an insurance claim. I will post up seller, so no one else gets scammed as soon as I get this resolved with ebay.

Hi,
I have strange problem with Atrix, it's registering to network then it is showing "network with limited service found. do you want to initiate a network search".
Mobile network is connected, I have good reception, I can use Internet access over that network, however cant make/receive.
Stock firmware, no changes.
Any information much appreciated.
Rob
That's odd. I guess T-Mobile is compatible with the atrix in the UK?
If your phone is completely stock, maybe Moto or your carrier could help you with it if nobody on here can. I'm not an expert, but if you just got this phone, then if you wouldn't mind doing a factory reset, that may squash any problem. Another thing that it may be doing if it's a new phone is try to update itself to a newer build? When you go to wireless and networks and look at the list of APNs, what is listed and what is it currently connected to?
Hi
Thank you so much for your replay. Unfortunetely i've done all those.
I think I can do much more than give headaset back to the shop as not working.
Regards,
Rob
Ps. Funny enough I'm sending this from Atrix on 3G connection but still cant make thw call.

Mystery solved, I have bought a "blocked" phone.
I called Orange UK to ask about status of that IMEI (as that was Orange phone), and very nice lady told me that phone is blacklisted with "lost or stolen" description.
So next time when your toy cant login to GSM network but working fine on 3G/GPRS please first check is phone is not blacklisted.
Case closed.

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?
i've orange uk line. been to abroad for 4 weeks, lost my simcard there, got back to uk and called orange.they sent me a replacement but it's been 1 day still no signal.when i put my simcard to another phone it works fine.when i put someone else's working simcard to my phone, it doesn't have a signal.if i check about section on the phone, it says i'm connected to orange signal strength is high but no service.what do you think the problem is?
IMEI blocked or account at your carrier's end not setup properly (or at all ?) perhaps. Given you lost your sim/had to get a replacement, I'm betting they've still got a block on your account as a result of this.
Call your carrier to check this. Not much point troubleshooting this only to find this is the problem later. This is the most obvious thing it could be in the first instance so clarify this with them.
you're definitely right.i called the carrier and they said they'd blocked my phone either.thanks for help.
No probs. Hope you get it sorted out soon ;-)
Hello, First post here on Xda, Nice to meet you all.
I'm looking for some serious help with my new samsung galaxy S3GSMH International version.
Long story short, My girlfriend lives in germany, While on holiday there I purchased a samsung galaxy s3i9300 and was told it will work in any region any network due to being factory unlocked.
In germany I was using a sim card from VIVA mobile or something of the like and it worked fine.
After I returned home, I switched in my UK Vodafone sim card, A message then popped up saying, Please select sim service:vodafone UK/Vodafone UK prepaid.
So I chose Vodafone UK and clicked on OK, I thought everything was fine untill i tried to make a call and got, Not registered on network.
Now I have searched for days in all types of threads to get this fixed, I have tried flashing stock firmware with odin/emergency recovery Via Kies/Flashing modems/flashing patched modems/patched kernals/Ariza patch/Ariza patch Jb.
My Imei is fine and matches under the battery, The S/N also matches under the battery.
So I just don't understand it, If it asked me to choose which sim service surely that means it has some type of connection with the network? I have full signal bars too.
Is there anything else i need to do to get this working? Because I am at a loss, And I obviously can't take it back due to the shop being in germany
Any help or input is extremely appreciated!
Hey there,
Thanks in advance for taking a read and hopefully giving me a hand to figuring this out.
I live in Canada, and my service provider is Virgin Mobile.
I purchased a phone from eBay to use on my network. I double checked the network bands were compatible with my network, and fortunately they were. (I bought an unlocked HTC One Max from Verizon.) I received the phone yesterday, and as soon as I inserted my SIM to the phone, it told me "This SIM card is from an unknown source." My cell service will show as active for about three seconds, and then flip to no bars with "no service available" as the status.
After doing some research, the error message was from a Verizon Setup application. I haven't yet rooted the phone (I just got it yesterday) so I haven't bothered to install Titanium and uninstall the Verizon Setup app.
I also set my APN settings correctly as to Virgin Mobile's network (a branch of bell nonetheless), I've double and triple checked these. My service is nothing short of intermittent still, and I can hardly use the phone. Phone calls will literally cut out right in the middle like 5-10 seconds in. It's rendering my new phone useless.
Any ideas as to what could be making my service cut in and out? It's receiving service, so clearly the bands are compatible; However, my research showed this to be true also, so that's not a surprise.
If anyone could provide some possible solutions to solving my issue, that'd be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much,
SaturatedLemon.
