I've noticed from time to time that a small popup saying it is refreshing sim data and have dismissed it as normal, however tonight I was at a friends with hit and miss service. There I noticed my phone would turn on without reason however as I was working on it I noticed the popup show up very frequently. I believe it is every time it picks up service it will refresh.
My question is, is there a way to prevent it from waking up or even better to not refresh as the sim is sure not to change.
Thanks in advance

I should also ask if anyone else gets this. I have been searching around and it does not seem to come up much. When it does people mention that they never get this.
I now wonder if its a bad sim or outdated.
Most likely a faulty/old sim card, try seeing if your sim is inserted correctly. If it's still doing it, i suggest you replace your sim. I only saw one user reporting the same problem on this forum.
I've seen this a couple times this week, having never had it happen before. I haven't flashed any new ROMs or installed any apps, so I'd guess it's either a SIM card or signal strength issue.

if you found any answer about this problem say to me also.
Thanks
Alright I went ahead and just requested a new SIM. Im going to head up to a place where I was last night where this happened the most and will report back if that solved it.
Fingers crossed
same problem here
I have the same problem,but what's intresting is that i recently switched carriers and when i was using the previous carrier i did not have this pop up.
And the sim card i was using was brand new,my current operator gave me this new sim,so maybe sim card is not the problem
Btw i am seeing a slight decrease in battery life since the screen wakes up on every pop up
Hmm That's odd, I can say that getting a new sim has solved the problem completely for me and I no longer have this problem.
refreshing sim data
I am also getting this message and waking up the screen frequently... mine is a new sim of vodafone (india) taken around 10 months ago.. i need to try replacing with a new sim
I too face same issue with Vodafone in Hyderabad, India.
I tried to replace SIM 3 times, but still facing same issue..
I got my sim replaced yesterday but the problem never got solved.
The SIM DATA REFRESHING is only when I am on 3g. When I force the phone to work on 2g it is fine.
Also, when in 3G it shows roaming as well (sometimes)
Anyone got any solution.
Are you a Vodafone subscriber

Set network mode to GSM only - its Auto by default (Settings -> More Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode). Will get rid of "Refreshing SIM data" message.
Same is happening to me
I am using a Vodafone sim Since 4 years and never faced this issue. Now when i have taken a GNote2 I am not able to use the Data services continuously the phone chucks the 3G data H+ connection and immediatly i see a message stating "Refreshing Sim Data" This happens almost twice in a minute.
Some one please help me. What do you think will help me really?
This has become a major problem when carrying such a smart device in hand but without internet.
I have an i535 and have had this issue since the jelly bean update. It kicks me off while browsing net, YouTube, playing apps or phone calls. Not sure what the cause is and Verizon tech couldn't help fix it. Anyone please help.
Install executioner 3.0 and kor kernel 2.0 no more refreshing sim data

I have had the same issue as y'all since the jelly bean update. I took a look at my network settings and found that my galaxy s3 was set to global by default. Since I have Verizon I changed mine to "LTE / CDMA". We'll see if this resolves my issue.
Hi there!
I've found several threads with this issue, but still not that serious like mine.
I've been using my GS II for 3 month without any problem, untill yesterday. During surfing on the net the network suddenly gone away and since I don't have mobile network connection. I've got IMEI, CSC, signal from provider (unlocked phone), my SIM card works in other devices, I also updated the firmware, I made several hard resets, checked other SIM cards, checked the problem with flight mode, but I haven't found any solutions. The signal sign is there in the upper corner, but I'm not able to connect to any providers for 48 hours.
Please help me. I don't know what to do
Maybe a country specific CSC change? I don't know how to do that. I have one .tar file for that but Odin can't install it. I'm a beginner here...
Thanks in advance...
Have you tried checking the access point settings?
Sent from my GT-I9100
Yes. They are fine. I've just changed them and put them to default again because there was no change.
When the phone went offline I was just surfing on the net so I did not change any options.
Any other ideas maybe?
Thanks...
try talking to your provider. Your account may have a problem which could be fixed by a simple reset on their end.
Thanks for the comment. Well, I've tried to use other sims for the same and also from other providers, even a sim from another country, and none of them worked. I also tried to put my sim into another phone and the sim works fine there. The only logical solution is that the problem is with the phone.
I guess it's worth a try, maybe they blocked the IMEI of the phone because of something? It's not a stolen mobile though.
Now I've got a flashed brand new mp4 player from samsung. Nice, it drives me crayz...
Another idea. While I was surfing on the net I installed "advanced task killer" (before the "crash" happened) and I killed some ordinary apps (not sure about this) then I just deleted the program. This connection rejecting thing happened after this. That's why I thought I should make a firmware update, maybe the problem was caused by this task killer. Well, don't know if the is a connection or not...
I have exactly the same proble with my Galaxy SII - I went on a long trip - when I got back it stopped working. Has anyone found a solution to this?
To reiterate - the phone sees all the networks, but when I select Vodafone UK I get the message "unable to select vodafone UK automatically". The sim card works fine in other phones - there is clearly an issue with the phone. The only thing that has changed is I have updated some of my apps on returning home.
Any ideas?

My CSC is XEU (correct for UK as far as I can see - and has worked for the past 3 months)
Sim card works fine in another phone
Network is fine (my wife is also on Vodafone and has no issues - my sim works on the network on her phone)
My Imei is correct
-Everyone else who has had this problem had no joy with a factory reset so I'm loathe to try it until I''ve tried everything else.
Any other ideas?
Just to recap:
The phone is stuck in emergency calls only mode
I can see all my local networks (Vodaphone, Orange etc...)
When I try to connect (in any of the modes 2g/3g) I get the error message
The sim card works fine in other phones
Other people's sim cards have the same issue in my phone
There are plenty of 'Emergency calls only' threads around, but the ones that have my exact symptoms never seem to get solved. Does anyone have any other ideas, or better, has anyone come across a thread where the issue was resolved? Getting pretty desperate.
tried rooting and flashing different modems maybe its a hardware problem with the modem.

i have the same problem in greece galaxy s2 i9100....in ics i havent network in 2.3.5 i have...i dont know why...in cm9 ics i have network...
Last update - I have flashed the phone to Ice Cream Sandwich, (LPQ version), which means I have:
Carried out a factory reset
Flashed a new ROM and Modem
When I rebooted it asked me for my carrier (Vodafone UK) and filled in the APN settings itself. I still have the same issue. I can't work out what is left that I haven't reset/reloaded that could still be causing issue. There can't be many settings left that aren't new?

i try to put manual apns but i cant save this in phone...in network search found my carrier but not conected...only with cm9 ics found network...pff...
Success?!?! It looks like we have tracked down the problem (extremely helpful input from another forum). Quick call to Vodafone and it turns out that my IMEI has been blacklisted (stolen!) Imagine my surprise - currently having a very interesting with Carphonewarehouse as to how hey managed to give me a stolen phone - should hopefully have everything resolved shortly

Very odd - when you first boot after a flash does it not ask you to select your contract type (that is the bit that automatically fills in the APN for me?)

this helped to me
Had the EXACT same issue on my Galaxy Note II for two days. My last hope was trying to restore my EFS with the EFS pro app.
Now when enabled my wifi at home and connected to my home network my sim prompted for the pin code.
Strange but I guess it was waiting for a connection (from my home wifi (not any other wifi) from a "half downloaded" app from the play store.
Anyways I'm happy this issue is resolved.
Does your phone prompt for a pincode when you start it? (mine said unable to complete download everytime it booted)
Hope this will help you guys...
Samsung Galaxy "Unable to connect. Try later" issue still remain
Hi guys,
I have the same issue with the following device:
Samsung Galaxy S3
I live in continental western Europe. Operators tried: BASE, MOBISTAR, PROXIMUS, POST.
The IMEI is correct, does not start with 00. The phone was bought from a shop, new, I have the invoice, so is legal, not stolen.
For some unknown reason, suddenly it does not want to connect to the mobile operators, any of them. I see "Emergency calls only". When I try to connect any one automatically or manually, I always get the message "Unable to connect. Try later".
The SIM card work well in another device, a Nokia C3-00. Another SIM does not work in my defective Samung S3. I sent back the device to the shop to be repaired and they gave it back to me saying it work very well, they just upgraded to the latest firmware, etc.
I am very annoyed because the device is unreliable. I have it in my pocket and do not realize it is not connected to the mobile network, I cannot be called or receive messages. Also I am unable to call.
The WIFI work well.
I tried everything, removing the SIM, inserting another, shutting down, enabling and disabling flight mode, nothing works.
But the later for some unkown reason and logic, it just work again for some time.
You guys wrote about some solution by looking in a folder, but I don't see that folder. Also you mention rooting. Does this mean cracking the phone? I do not wish to meddle with this, because I could destroy my device and I paid a lot for it. It will remove the warranty. So if you have a solution, please give a legal one.
Anyone have a hint or explanation for this strange behaviour?
Thanks a lot.
had a similar problem with galaxy core prime.
bought without a sim card and no knowledge of what network it was on.
every sim i tried was getting unable to connect error as i was trying to register on network
dont know if this will work for everyone as mine is a dual sim phone but here goes.
inserted two different sims from different providers, ee and vodafone.
reset phone to factory settings and when it booted back up, it recognised the ee sim card, went to mobile networks and network operators in settings and selected the ee network and presto, it registered ! used sim manager to select voda card and repeated selecting vodafone as carrier and it also registered straightaway
as i said none of the cards would register before on their own, but somehow this method worked for me.
hope this helps
had to set one sim to gsm only and other to autoconnect
yesterday i brought AT&T's Samsung galaxy s2 SGH-i777(locked) and i unlocked that mobile through cellunlocker.com to pay 11$ for unlock code..they sent 8digit code..its works perfectly...after that i put my IDEA cellular INDIA SIM card on it..its showing some signal..but i am not able to make a calls..its saying network not registered.....after i restart the mobile it took "T-Mobile" network for a moment and lost..after that nomore connection.
when i go to wireless and network/ mobile networks/ network operators only thing which comes written is "DEFAULT SETUP" and that is greyed out. (when i tap on nothing happens).
also when i change back to my old AT&T sim, i am not able to access that greyed out area.
can someone please guide me through it..??
i am new to android phone..currently ia m roaming with T-mobile network in USA-Oklahoma.
my nokia e-5 working perfectly when i switch back SIM on it.
Please help me to how i got signal on my galaxy s2.
trouble shooting done
mobile not in flight mode...wifi working fine...2nd time i removed battery for a while and restart.it tooks network for 2minutes ..i make a blank call to other mobile...after that no signal...
below is my mobile information:
Model no - samsung-sgh-i777
android version 2.3.6
baseband verson- i777uckk6
kernel verson - 2.6.35.7
build number - gingerbread.uckk6
STATUS-
Signal strength- -101dBm 6asu
mobile network type- GPRS
service state- out of service
roaming- not roaming
mobile network state- disconnected
IMEI- 35805504356xxxx
IMEI SV- 03
First thing's first: never post your IMEI. You should take that down ASAP.
Secondly: I have no idea what's wrong with your phone, but our phone is free to unlock. As in, you didn't have to pay anything, all you had to do was root and use an app from the Play Store.
Thirdly: I believe you cannot select the network operator while on a stock ROM (either 2.3.4 or 2.3.6), no matter what you tried. You'd need to flash a custom ROM to do that (not entirely sure, someone correct me if I'm wrong).
Fourthly: Note that the I777 doesn't have the hardware to use T-Mobile's 3G/4G services. You'll only be able to run on Edge, period. There are no workarounds.
Lastly: To fix your problem, I would recommend starting over. That is, wiping all data/caches and flashing back to complete stock 2.3.4. Then root it, and use the app I mentioned before to unlock. Flash a custom ROM after that if you still want the ability to select the network operator.
Read all of the links in the sticky if you want to follow any of the suggestions I made. And I mean, read all of them before you do anything to your phone. You need to fully understand everything you are about to do before you do it.
P.S. Please hit my thanks button if I helped you. Good luck!

Read only posts and threads here. Other websites have outdated info. No ROM is best, try them all yourself. You need to better understand what a ROM is, so search for that. Keep reading, I told you it will take you several days. I won't spoon feed you forever.

I've had a search around the forums and haven't found a solution that works for me yet, so I am hoping someone can please help me here.
I keep getting the "not registered on network" error when I attempt to make a call on my SGS3, and can't recieve or make texts etc. Everything else works, I can still browse online etc. It is not a problem with the sim card as I have tried other sim cards in the phone and still have the same problem, and my sim is working fine in an old phone at the moment. I have also factory rest and installed different ROMs and still have the same problems.
The phone is Three (Ireland) branded but rooted and unlocked using the Galaxyunlock app and is now on Meteor (Ireland) network.
Someone suggested that my IMEI number may be blocked, but according to one of those sites that check if it is blocked or not - it isn't, but I don't know how reliable it is?
Anyone have any other ideas?

Hi I have the same problem with my galaxy s3 after the JB update .Can you give me the link for the J5 firmware please....
I'm with 3 Ireland and i used to get this but on ICS.
Basically what you need to do is go into mobile networks and manually search, it might take a while but 3 Irl or just 3 will appear just select that and it should be ok, i was fuming at 3 as i always used to have to do that but it seemed it was only when i was using ICS but when i upgraded to JB the problem stopped, i never use stock ROM either always AOSP.

Hey everyone,
i am new here, i have a question regrading android nougat.
i am a Moto Z Play user. problem i am facing is i cant enable VOLTE on my sim if i eject it once from phone.
to elaborate once i insert a sim on my phone it registers it and VOLTE and 4G internet works fine.
but if i eject it once from phone and insert it back only 4G internet work i cant make calls.
only solution to this problem is i have to change sim card.
after doing some tinkering i understood problem it seems once saved the volte setting are geting disabled
i need to know where does all this sim registration info is stored in nougat.
probably removing all this info and restarting my phone might help me from going to store to get a new sim.
have cleared cache from setting and tried alot of steps.
suggestions are welcomed.
any admin or moderator may move this post to any proper sub category as am not aware where to post.
thanks in advance
