[Q] Phone doesn't connect to internet. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
I've got problem with APN internet connection on my S3. When I turn on packet transfer, it doesn't connect to internet at all, even "connection icon" (that with 2 arrows blinking) doesn't show up. I downloaded APN configuration file from T-Mobile, so those are fine for almost sure.
What to do now?
Some basic info (according to Guide/Info thread):
- What Rom/Kernel/Modem you are using?
AP: I9300XXELLA
CP: I9300NELK2
CSC: I9300H3GELL1
- Are you rooted/unrooted?
Not sure, I bought phone in GB, but live in Poland. Simlock was removed too. It's fresh android instalation after Hard Reset. Never tried to personal root.
- Have you flashed any mods/scripts/themes?
No.
- Have you changed DPI? If yes, to what?
I dont know what DPI is.
- Have you done anything to try to solve your issue prior to posting the same?
I've done hard reset, but it didn't change anything. Also downloaded APN configuration file from TMobile (which is my provider ofc) as stated ealier.
Thanks in advance.

Does the phone make calls and texts okay?
Did you flash the latest stock ROM for Poland via Odin on your PC?
Did you flash the right modem and RIL for Poland?

Calls and texts work as intented. Personally didn't flash anything on my phone.
It's important to mention, that internet connection did work for longer period ealier and one day for some reason it stopped.

First question do you have Mobile Data turned on .
Second Question is your network supplying you with mobile data or have they turned it off .Third what does your network / the phone vendor say about the problem .

Yes i have Mobile Data turned on. Yes, my network supplies me with mobile data.
I didn't ask T-Mobile about it yet, since I think it's phone-side problem. Can't really ask the phone vendor, since the phone was a gift so I didnt buy it personally.

But presume you are paying for a network somehow.
Try with a known internet working sim card .

Maybe I missunderstood the "phone vendor" part, but if you meant the place where I bought the phone, then it's probably no chance to ask him. If you meant the my actual Polish "GSM(?) Provider" (T-mobile), I didn't ask them about anything yet, but Yes, i pay them for "internet plan".
Low chances to check other sim card (atleast for today and very near future). Any other tips?

Morning!
I was randomly tweaking with settings today morning and turned on and off "plane mode". After that, my phone immediately caught Internet connection! Technology magic.
So it's working now. Thanks for caring about my problem.
@offtopic (you don't have to reply at all)
I'm just curious, what could cause such thing?
Have a nice day.

It's a computer, turning things off then on again fixes 80% of all problems. You also might try clearing cache and dalvic in recovery, as sometimes cached copies of system files can corrupt.
If it starts to happen more often then reflash the rom.

[Q] Emergency Calls only

Hello,
I have the Samsung Galaxy S II
Flashed with Dark litening rom.
Just today, this problem started. When I start up the phone I have signal for maye 5 minutes. Then I see coverage bars, but it says emergency calls only in the notification menu, and I cannot connect any calls.
I bought two of these off the same guy online about a month ago, the other one works fine so i think (hope) its not imei blocked.
I have googled it to no avail.
I have tried removing battery sim card and resetting.
I have tried a different sim card.
I have tried factory reset.
None of the above worked.
Please help.
Thanks in advance, any and all suggestions are appreciated
I checked the imei here:
http: //www . amta . org.au/?Page=405
And it says unblocked.
So it must be an error with the phone? Please help.
Thanks

Check your IMEI is the correct one that came with the phone and matches up under the battery ..
Probable you damaged EFS folder when flashing a rom .
Restore your backed up EFS folder .

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately I have checked that already and they are matching. Any other suggestions?
same Issue on my side
I try all what i can.
even another modems. No help...

Do a factory reset, wipe data and cache from CWM recovery if you have it, or flash a new rom. (Backup anything you dont want to lose).

i did restore my IMEI after it ... and i found a temporary method for using my phone
i am having same problem posted on other threads as well and it seems many ppl are facing it but no perm solution. I hope someone will do the favour soon and we shall be able to use it as a phone rather than a PDA
Hi! i experienced this issue with my Samsung Galaxy S2 after flashing ICS rom. It's weird as well that when I transfer the sim to different phone and place it back again to my phone then it works but the moment I reboot my phone then I will get the same issue...
Same problem
Same problem right here about a month in to using CM7
Going round in circles...
I've now tried all sorts.
Wipe caches, factory reset, different kernels, different modems, new SIM card, battery & SIM out, reboot, chec ed if phone is barred, checked if IMEI has changed, all sorts....
Still no luck.
Can anyone help?
I found out what the problem is.
The same thing happened to me.
Emergency calls only, couldn't connect to a network, out of service state, IMEI was fine.
I went to the network operator that sold me the phone, and they scanned my phones barcode and told me the phone is blacklisted.
Go to your network operator and check if this is the case. I'm 99% sure that it will be. You ought to be able to unblacklist the phone

Sadly 99% of those with a problem have not a blacklisted IMEI they just broke the EFS and never bothered to read the fAQS and GUIDES .

I have the same problem.
IMEI is fine.
How to fix?????
And have you both asked your carrier if the phone is IMEI blocked & absolutely positively 100% ruled out a carrier side problem ? (Given a lot of these problems tend to be carrier side one way or another).

[Q] not registered on network. Galaxy 2

Hi.
I have a big problem with my G2, and have tried many things.
It all started 2 weeks ago. I lost connection to my network.
I tried many things, and ended up giving it to a repair shop, in China, as I was there shortly. They put a new firmware into the phone, and a chinese SIM card worked.
I found an english version of the firmware, and asked them to update with that version, No problem. Everything worked well...but when I arrived back to Denmark, same problem. Not registered on the network.
Now I have tried many things, as Kies could not recognize the firmware version. I burned a 2.35 version into the phone with Odin, and Kies regocnized the version, and now updated to 4.03. Great, but ... I have the same problem. APN settings acc to my network provider. Oister 3 in Denmark.
I really have no idea what to do anymore. And I cant send it in for repair, as the flash counter says 10 times.
Is ther someone here, with a very deep knowledge in Logs etc, as I can send Logs if I am explained what to do.
The short time the phone worked, did I really love it.
And also the chinese SIM can not connect from Denmark.
I would prefer all Logs etc in private email, but if we solve it, I will poste solutions and results here.
Best of regrads
Morten
As for the counter, install and run triangleaway - it can be found in the SGSII section of XDA.
Check that the sim card works (try it on another phone) and borrow another sim card (on the same network). It is amazing how many problems like this are due to a damaged sim card or just not connecting correctly. I had a friend who took the sim card out to flash their Samsung Galaxy 3 and put in the sim card wrongly and couldn't make a call.
Can you copy your contacts to or create one in the sim card?
I doubt that it is a problem with the EFS folder, ie no IMEI number because it was fixed with a china sim, but it may be. Is the IMEI number you get from dialing *#06# 004999010640000 or different from the label under the battery? If so then you have a EFS folder problem. There is an app that may fix it - it requires root - * HERE *
Mobile network
Hi
Thanks for the reply.
A:
I can make, copy, edit etc contact directly at the simcard in the phone, and also copy, edit etc from Kies to the Sim card. And yes. It is the simcard I can do those things at. Double checked that it was somcard and not the phone memory
B:
Double checked the IMEI number again.
Label phone same as *#06#
Further information:
In the first day, I tried many many things to get the phone working.
I searched the internet a lot, and I found some kind of help. Like with IMEI check, I should type a code like *#xxxx# or *xxxx* Stupid as I was, I did not write down the code, and also did not safe the page on the internet, so I have no idea what code I wrote. I am sure it was something regarding Mobile network or CSC.
Reg Triangle away.
My phone is no longer rooted, as I try to have it in original mode, so its ready to send to repair, if needed. Triangleaway needs the phone to be routed, right ?
And will that not require an unsafe kernel ?
After resetting, then I suppose I need to install an original kernel again, and will that not make the counter go to 1 ?
Any other ideas ?
Regards
Morten
can you be little clear....
no network or no data (internet) on your current network
1: do you have a locked phone or unlocked. [carrier locked when new]
2: no network will be no signals at all, no phone call....
3: no data will be you cant browse, send receve emails
4: counter can be fixed easy as now your on ics
Hi,
I got the same problem but different scenario

1. my phone is unlocked(international).
2. signal show full, but no phone call
3. I don't use data, but wifi, and no problem with wifi.
Well, this : not registered on network only happen if phone idle for more than 3hrs, meaning phone just work normally if I don't let it idle for long time. This very frustrating as every morning after wake up I have to switch between airplane mode for phone working again.
Greatly appreciated for your help
Thanks in advance
P/s: currently on Slim rom(cm9). But have tried almost all custom rom found in xda, problem still exist. Even try to change CSC to my current country( Thailand) on stock DL7( included Thailand region), no luck. APN setting also change to default network provider.
Mobile network problem
Hi.
Please see my answers below
1: do you have a locked phone or unlocked. [carrier locked when new]
The phone worked before, and was not locked, but as I send a command to the phone, could I have locked it ? How can I check that ? And it does not give me any warning when I start the phone up.
When I try to make a call, it right away says: Dialling ...Call ended.
2: no network will be no signals at all, no phone call....
No mobile network. It is ONLY a problem with phone calls and reciving calls.
I have plenty of signal
3: no data will be you cant browse, send receve emails
Data is right now not working, WiFi works.
I cant get correct APN settings, as my provider sends this as system configuration to the phone, but cant recive it.
3A: My provided is named 3 Oister, and normally this provider is listed under Network operators. On this phone it is NOT listed. 3 Oister is using network of 3, and only network of 3 is listed.
If I pull down the menu from the topbar on the phone, it actually says 3 Oister, but 3 Oister is not listed under Network Operators.
On my other SG2, 3 Oister is listed in Topbar and under Network Operators.
I bought a new SG2 as well, and we are 2 persons using SG2 here.
4: counter can be fixed easy as now your on ics
How ? Can I do that without rooting and install different firmware ?
I do run ICS ver 4.03, updated by Kies.
In worst case, I will send the phone in for repair, but for sure, needs the counter reset.
Regards
Morten
Put a new firmware in the phone then probably wrong modem and CSC for your location .
Chinese sim unlikely to work 4000 miles away but that is easy to swap sim .
Rom counter for ICS use the search tool for the relevant post .

Mobile network problem
Hi
Please find answers below:
Put a new firmware in the phone then probably wrong modem and CSC for your location .
As my counter says 10, you can see, I have tried this several times, and its also written in my first post.
Please send the code for check of CSC and changing CSC. As I remember it is set to be NEE.
Chinese sim unlikely to work 4000 miles away but that is easy to swap sim .
Chinese SIM works all over the world, as long as Roaming is allowed. And it works in the other phone. Now I have the Denmark SIM in, and same problem. Yes, I did close down the phone, changed SIM and started the phone again. Exactly SAME problem.
Rom counter for ICS use the search tool for the relevant post .
Would be nice to have the info written here instead.

Then your answer is hardware fault if above are ruled out as not a problem.

Sorry i refuse point blank to search for someone else .
Neither do i have the relevant post bookmarked otherwise it would have been posted .

1: forget all your idea's do exact as i say
2: remove your sdcard
3: using cwm format system, cache, data, sdcard [system is a must]
4: remove battery / insert back goto download mode
5: flash the ROM you downloded using odin, after restart dont do any restores
6: wait for few minutes now dial this *2767*3855# [important]

Mobile network problem
Hi again
Followed the guide very detailed
3: using cwm format system, cache, data, sdcard [system is a must]
Wiped all data in System and also Wiped Cache, using:
Root the Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 running XXLPQ firmware and install ClockworkMod Recovery: CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5.tar
Done with Super User Granted.
4: remove battery / insert back goto download mode
Done
5: flash the ROM you downloded using odin, after restart dont do any restores
Flashed with Odin 1.85 in PDA: I9100XXLPQ_I9100HTDLP3_I9100NELP2_HOME.tar.md5
6: wait for few minutes now dial this *2767*3855# [important]
Done. Phone shows Factory Reset in big letters
dont restore any backups including titanium stuff.
Nothing restored.
Booted up, and automatic installed APK's
Same problem.
Only difference is that now the counter says 11 counts
But thanks for a detailed and well told possibility.
As I see it, the problem is connected to the standard the phone connects to the Mobile grid. As I told earlier, I made a stupid thing. I send a command with *#xxxx* in the phone, and I cant remember what code, and I did not save the page on the internet. I really think the problem is about a standard. That the phone is setup to a standard that the 3G net is not using in Denmark.
I can dump logs etc, if anyone can help. But I need to know how.
Regards
Morten
buddy your problem was.... network right? is it working now?
forget counter it will be fixed....later using triangle away with ics bootloader
---------- Post added at 12:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 AM ----------
if your phone now works fine with calls send and recieve, manually add the apn to get 3G.
Mobile network problem
Hi
Nope. Did not solve the problem.
Just ran Triangle away, and moved the Firmware: I9100XXLPQ_I9100HTDLP3_I9100NELP2_HOME.tar.md5 to the SD card.
Will try now to install it by CWM
And then I give up. Will try to send it for repair ..... really a shame, as I really would have liked to solve it here
Cheers
Morten
Mobile network problem
Hi Buddy
It finds a lot of Networks, but cant connect to any of them
3 networks with 3G and 4 with 2 G
But not the Mobile network I need to connect to> Oister 3
My other SG2 finds that network without any problem
Cheers
Morten
I had the same problem too. At first I tought it was a rom issue, but it wasn't actually. I turned my phone off and removed and placed back my sim card and it worked.
Mobile network problem
Finished programming original firmware using CMW as source for Odin, after counter was reset to 0, and the pnone status is the same as before, but counter is 0.
So will try to send it in for repair.
Thanks to u all.
And SIM card has been removed several times, even tried with a different.
No luck at all
Cheers, and thanks again
Morten
Did you ever get to the bottom of this?
I've been using my phone in Brazil and now i'm in the UK, it's doing exactly as you describe.

How would you go about checking these?

Compare the IMEI that displays when you type *#06# to the IMEI printed on the label under your battery. They should be the same.
For your own sake, do NOT post what the IMEI under the battery actually is, whether it's the same as what's displayed when you dial *#06# or not.
As for checking IMEI blocking by the carrier, that should be obvious. Call your carrier.

Not registered on network, again

This thread is outdated and not related to the new problem with EFS coruption. Solutions proposed here wont help you if you lost your network after downgrading a ROM from MF6 to earlier.
Ok it's not the first thread about this but no one seems to have an answer. I'm trying again.
I flashed a custom ROM on a friend's phone i9300. After the flash the phone keep saying "Not registered on network". I tried everything I know.
I changed modem
I changed ROM (3X) (with full wipe)
I returned to stock
I installed GetRil (changed the baseband)
I installed Galaxsim (phone already unlock)
when I try to set the APN I get a message "registered on network" but when I do a phone call I got "Not registered on network"
Is there anyone who knows any way to solve this problem?
New sim? What all works?

Get a new sim from your carrier. Either your sim tray is broken or your sim card is. Sim card is cheap/free to replace so try that first.

sounds like (both of you) your EFS folder is corrupt - the only way i've read of repairing it is to have a back up. service center for repair is the only option AFAIK.
The IMEISV means nothing, don't even worry about it. Know what you're talking about before you blurt out crap.

Get a new sim from your carrier. Either your sim tray is broken or your sim card is. Sim card is cheap/free to replace so try that first.

Like I said I've use my friend SIM and my SIM both makes no difference on the phone. Maybe it's the tray

Usual suspects .
Sim you tried another .
Sim carrier unusual to be damaged .
IMEI wrong .
No phone number details standard with many roms .
Network details not entered or incorrect or wrong CSC .
Wrong modem unlikely .
Best to restore phone to original firmware .

First I restored the phone with the nandroid backup I made just before flashing. (still not register on network)
Then I restored the phone to stock Samsung with Odin (still not register on network)
The IMEI is still there(most thread I read with this problem people lost their IMEI)
The phone can connect to the network because it can retreive the time from the network.
If I make a network operator search it finds China Unicom(This is my sim card) and when I choose it it says "register on the network" but as soon as I try to call, I get the "not register on network" again.
I thought the IMEI might be block as it might be a stolen phone but I made a search on two IMEI database and it says CLEAR.
I flashed 3 Asian modems( I used to have a S3 I know the XXELJ2 was working with my sim card) and same result.
Have you tried flashing a different modem to your device and reporting the problem to your provider.
May sound obvious but the provider's logs may clearly show what is wrong and they can report it back to you.

anyway, tried this metod too now, and still the same ~
Hey guys, had a very similar problem to kremata (everything in EFS folder seemingly ok (IMEI and S/N were fine)), and for me it got fixed by applying Azira's Patch ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918601 ).
However this solution only works by rooting and if you try to return it to stock it will reverse to being a 500$ PDA sadly.
In any case, the phone is now fully functional (calling/SMS/mobile data).
hey
i can fix ur problem

[Q] "Not registered on network"

Hello there,
A few weeks ago I was trying out different custom roms on my galaxy s3, and I somehow managed to **** something up and my IMEI number got changed to something like 00400001234. I kept getting "Not Regitsrred on Network" error if I tried to make calls. So I took it to a repair shop and paid £25 to get it fixed
It got fixed and the imei number went back to normal - I could make calls again!
I then did efs, nandroid and titanium backups and then flashed foxhound rom, but again I get the "not registered on network" error. So I restored the backup, but it still says the error. I tried a different backup and still it cant connect to network :crying:
What I tried to fix this:
- turning it off for a while then back on
- manually trying to connect to my network
- manually enterring APN details
- ate a bagel
- factory reset / data wipe
- I followed all the guides I could find on this site and used the search function extensively! the last thread i read was this one but the guy couldn't find a solution other than taking it to a shop
I think I have only these options:
1) try to fix it myself maybe flashing a different radio, CSC, or something (?)
2) take it back to repair shop and pay another £25
I read somewhere that the method the shop uses to 'fix' the phone means that you cant install custom roms. is this true?
As you can probably tell, I am a novice at this kinda thing and so it's very frustrating cos I cant understand how to fix this =/
Thankyou
A guess is that you flashed custom rom and either have no CSC wrong CSC or wrong modem for your network . Or EFS folder is damaged .
Possible solution restore original rom via .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1978840
Then test .

so is the imei there?
yes the IMEI on the phone matches the one printed under the battery
thanks for the link. i'm trying to use kies now to fix it, but it's saying my device firmware version is not supported to update via kies. not sure what this means cos i flashed the stock rom already =/
Trying flashing the stock modem if it's not already, I too got same problem and then flashed the stock modem for my rom/country and it worked
Just my experience being a noob to flashing

i would like to try flashing a new modem/csc but i dunno where to find those seperate files. do you have a link to where i can download the unbranded UK one?
ive just flashed another rom with odin (UK unbranded BTU 4.0.4), and now i'm getting a different error. the phone now says 'mobile network not available' and there are no mobile networks showing when i try to search for them. i am no longer seeing the 'not registered to network' error
i'm still getting the error message in kies saying my firmware is not compatible too =/
dunno if this helps, but when i dial *#1234# it shows this information:
AP: I9300XXBLG8
CP: I9300XXLG8
CSC: I9300XABLG8
what does it all mean =S
edit: okay, i've just been down to the store where i originally bought the phone from. i had one of their sales guy snap a picture of the firmware version info screen. for comparison i've included a screenshot of my s3's info:
i.imgur.com/SQ19c17.png
my plan is to try and locate this specific firmware and flash it onto my device in hopes it will fix it =<
does anyone know where i could find this specific firmware?

Reboot into recovery (Vol Up + Home + Power).
What is the CSC shown?

the console text says it has applied CSC-code "CYO"
ive managed to find the correct firmware now, so that it matches the stock s3, but yet my problem still remains =/ once again it is giving me the 'not registered on network' error
dont know what else to try now =/
maybe the CSC code is incorrect, and changing it would fix my issue?
CSC has nothing to do, since your phone is unlocked. It depends on the network, whether GSM or UMTS.
Try this firmware for the CSC CYO:
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/190153878/49a62fc/I9300XXELLA_I9300OXXELL1_CYO.zip.html
1- Make sure to flash using Odin 3.07. Find it in the forums. To flash, you must enter the download mode. Switch off the phone, then Vol Down + Home + Power.
2- After flashing and rebooting the device, when the logo is shown, remove the battery and reinsert it.
3- Enter the recovery mode using (Vol Up + Home + Power).
4- Choose "Wipe factory settings".
5- Reboot the device.
6- Enjoy.
Being in an area with weak network coverage can cause continuous error like "Not registered on network". Therefore, after flashing, try forcing the network into GSM via "Setting -> More Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode -> GSM Only".
This shall work fine with you
well thanks for trying, but that didn't work either. i followed the steps exactly and i still get 'not registered on network' error =/
this is so frustrating

yes the phone was bought from carphone warehouse (UK) and was already unlocked out of the box
also, no i have not tried another sim
i've just uses kies to find the exact firmware i need (entered the model + serial number) and flashed it... but, still i get 'not registered on network' error, despite having full 5 bars signal
i dont know what else could cause this. the firmware is correct, imei number is correct, everything is back to stock.. so why am i still seeing this error? :crying: ive run out of ideas now! well, unless the 'custom binary counter' stops the phone working if you flash it too many times (???) i really dont know what else to try

Can you try another working SIM?
BTW, to reset flash counter, root your phone, use TriangleAway, reset flash, then flash the stock firmware again.
thanks for the help man, but ive given up on the phone now.
i've just had a terrible accident. and the phone dropped out of my pocket while i was riding my bicycle on the road. it got run over by a 4 cars, 2 trucks and a bus.
it's very sad.
good job the phone is insured.

Data OK - but no voice connection

Hi,
My unlocked S3 will no longer make/receive phone calls. Searching for (and then trying to register on) mobile networks results in "unable to connect try later"
IMEI code is OK (not starting with 00)
Different sim card- same results
Flashing rom to latest stock xxemg4 rom etc - same results
Now the weird thing is if i add an APN to my service provider - i get data connection (email/twitter) work - but cannot register on voice network
Is this a hardware radio issue? Have any of you guys seen this before? Any advice?

>>>Is it matching your IMEI ???

Reads as you have wrong CSC or wrong APN settings .
Suggest read the Faqs and Guides first .

Could also be your network operator having issues. Can you test your sim card in another phone? (Or another sim card in your phone). You could also try different network modes in the mobile networks screen.
Thank you for your replies.
My IMEI number does indeed match the one under the battery. All APNs have been deleted and then only the APN from my network provider added.
Network says sim/imei is NOT blocked.
Sim works (with calls) in another phone
So - my phone is now a PDA - data connection OK but no voice calls. I guess it must be a phone hardware issue - Odd but there you go.
Again - thanks for looking.

do you recall exactly when did this happened?
any chance you might have installed wrong modem when flashing rom?
It was working fine - hadn't flashed anything for months. Then voice dropped out - never come back on.
Usually if something stops working and you haven't made any changes then it might be a cache or system file is corrupt.
First clear the cache and dalvik, then factory reset and reflash the rom. If it still the same on a clean stock rom then likely to be hardware.
