Received my SGS2 on 29th June and ever since it start having emergency call syndrome (out of blue not receiving any network signal).only after reset, it regain signal and same story goes on till date.
To overcome this prob,i tried these:
- factory reset 3 times
- manually choose telco/network carrier
- update/flash firmware (stock XWKF1 -> XWKF3)
so for these only reduce problem's rate to occur.PLease,help anyone?
Is your sim card active ?
Hi
I have the same problem as yours (i thought i am the only one having this)...out of the blue the phone changes to the emergency calls Only status....
it is very annoying specially when you are expecting an important phone call and you discover that the phone cannot receive calls
it became a habit of mine to keep checking my phone every once and a while, and when spotted i restart my phone and this brings the phone back to normal (Normal for a day or two of course).
Can anybody help with this?
SGS2 GT-I9100, Android: 2.3.3, Build: JHKG2
First of all I would download a newer firmware. If that doesn't fix it you should probably just return it to Samsung for replacement/repair.
Actually i have flashed this Israeli ROM (it is an Orange official but leaked ROM) about a month or so and it supports Arabic, English & Russian (exactly what i need) that i have no complains about so far except this emergency Calls issue and i am not so fund of rooting etc so i don't know where i can find another ROM (official not cooked ) that have the same languages supported.

What is your signal strength when it changes to emergency only? Mine does that during very weak signal, I found it's because it can only receive GPRS singal which is from another carrier when my own (HSPA) can't establish connection.

frankly i didn't check or notice such thing, but the moment i installed my latest ROM (GB/JHKG2) i have noticed that the signal strength is very week especially indoors.
thinking off and analyzing this situation i have a confident opinion that the problem i am facing is related to the ROM i am using (GB/JHKG2).
i am thinking of flashing a different Kernel to this ROM and see what will happen

When you installed a different rom did you flash back to your original telcos baseband? This makes an enormous difference to signal strength.

Hi,
I have a SE Xperia X10i that I purchased the other week which I had unlocked via the SE servers in a phone shop as I wanted to explore the full potential of this phone. Now it is second hand so bear this in mind....
It was originally locked to the Three network in the UK, I was on O2.
The original phone had 2.1 Android on it.
After having it unlocked I rooted the phone and also installed xRecovery version 3 and then installed CM7-ZMOD CYANOGENMOD 7 V3 from 19/08/2011 which is Android 2.3 and also Baseband .71.. I love this ROM thanks to zdzihu for producing this.
I have a problem with my network service.. It drops in and out all the time.. sometimes and can have a full signal at one location and return to that location 2 hours later and get the dreaded (No Service).. Also if I go into searching networks.. it also says no network providers can be found.. even when I have a signal!!!!
I jave tried the SIM in another phone LG and it works fine at that location. I have also tried another SIM, 02 in the phone and I get the same network drop out behaviour.. I go into Bristol every day.. quite a klarge city in the UK and I am sure that the coverage is there.. well actually I know it's there..
Now I have I got a Baseband problem or a phone hardware problem?
Anyone that could help I would be grateful of assistance.
Many Thanks.
Anyone??
Okay as I didn't get a reply to the original post I shall try a different tact....
As I am getting very intermittent phone signals (GPRS/3G) etc and the WiFi and GPS is okay would it be possible to downgrade the BaseBand version as I assume that this is what drives the functionality of 2G and 3G signals?
I am currently on the following:
Model X10i
Android Version: 2.3.5
Baseband Version: 2.1.71
Kernel Version: 2.6.29-zdzihu-19082011
Mod Ver: ZMOD
Build Number: CM7-ZDZIHU-MOD.
I know the Basebands are location dependent, well some of them. I live in the South West of the UK if it's important
Many Thanks
Paul
You could try switching to another rom, who knows, or maybe switching to another sim card

Yeah I have tried 2 other sims from different operators and also about 5 different ROMS.. (Wolf, Ultima, TEAM etc) No change... I just wondered what the process was to try a different BB.. (lower version).. If not I may have a HW problem..
Thanks for the response.

Try downgrading to 2.1 with baseband .67/.54 and see if that resolves your issue. If not, then it may indeed be a hardware fault.
My samsung galaxy s2 is not even a month old and it keeps dropping calls.
What I have observed is that the calls get dropped when I am in vodafone india edge network but the phone works fine when it is in 3g network(we need to enable 3g data through data packs for vodfone prepaid connection).Has anyone experienced the same problem?
Also another observation is that the signal strength becomes -51dbm when in edge network but it changes to -81 dbm when in 3g network.
I am running IceCream Sandwich.
Can you please help.

I'm having the same problem, my calls drops after 30 seconds or less... I'm running ICS, but also tried CM10 with JB, and same problem...
I have the same problem. Did you find a solution to it?

Hey, what kind of rom are you using? I had connection issues with my I9100 with cyanogenmod in Germany and solved it by trying all the modems on the cyanogenmod site for the I9100. The one that fixed it for me was XXKE7
All other modems crashed after a while and wrote allot of dump files in the /data/log/ folder
You can check your modem by going to "About Phone"-> "Baseband version".
Check your /data/log folder if you have allot of dumpstat_ril_RESET_BY ... files there, that have a creation date that coincides with your signal losses it is probably a modem issue and you might be able to solve it by trying out other modems.

Had severe problems with drops of network connectivity, the phone even going to "No network" at times or the data arrows would freeze until reboot. It was especially severe in 3G network mode.
Latest firmware available by just doing an over the air software update of the phone has a new baseband software (XXLJ4), which indeed seems to have solved this annoying problem. The update information said something like "increased phone stability" - sounds about right if they bugfixed the radio firmware..

Settings -> About Phone -> Software Update -> Update
and then choose to check for updates, and let the phone do its work.
That should do the trick unless your phone is already on XXLJ4 or is specifically/regionally branded or something.
You can see the version code directly under About phone, Baseband version. My phone read XXLF5 there before it was updated.
The latest baseband for this one, S5300XXME1, available since a month in the updates, makes it even better.
For me it got rid of a frequent WiFi problem and 3G disconnects which could happen when not stationary.
Also it seems to keep a 3G connection much more persistently before switching over to 2G/EDGE, the 3G signal now really needs to be terrible for it to do that.
Is anyone else experiencing network problems with Samsung Alpha 850F, my phone is dropping calls and network. It reconnects after few seconds but it is really annoying.
I got latest firmware: G850FXXU1BOA2, changing network setting only to GSM doesn't help much, I have tried with different sim card and I still get same result. Alpha is not bought from provider but in retail store and it was rooted, so I guess I cannot send it to warranty.
WiFi connection is stable and I don't have any problems with it.
Anyone has suggestion what can be done?

Hello,
As far as I'm concerned, the same thing is with everyones phone (signal strength is always at approximately ~-103 dBm) but I've never experienced such an issue with dropping calls nor network itself. Nothing you can do about it, everyone is experiencing this issue.
Best regards,
James
I also see the signal drops but never experienced problems with phone calls. I think it depends on the provider too, if you got a cheap poor signal provider you're more likely to face these call drops.

My friend had same problrm with S5 and he fixed it with factory restoring defaults and changing CSC to his region. I'm waiting for android 5.0 so I can that also.
