Hi there,
i have problems with my X10i, since the first day i got it i've had problems with my simcard wich are :
- couldnt read 'my number' in phonebook
- every now and then my phone says no sim-card thus not giving me 3g/network
back in the day (1.6) i could just put it on airplane-mode and back off to get the signal back (not realy a solution) after i installed 2.1 (via XDA) i hoped the problem would be gone. but no sadly it's still here. i went to T-mobile shop wich told me i had to give the phone to them (thus beeing phoneless for 3 weeks or so). so i started trying to fix this problem myself.
- new install
- no task managers
- clean the simcard+holder
- eventualy i read that the problem with 'my number' in phonebook could be solved using a 2nd phone. so i did that and loaded the number in a samsung phone. put the sim back in my X10i and i had a number in phonebook .. YAY but no .. that was not the solution to the second problem.
- i installed bluesparks v5.. but still the problem is still there.
anybody have a solution besides bringing it back to the store ? (no the simcard is new as is the phone and according to the ppl from t-mobile its not the simcard)
Ty for ur reply's
1. For the phone number agenda detection solution. You need to use a phone that allows you to especify your phone number into the sim. A phone like SE w580 use agenda options to declare the phone number after that the sim uses that number in your X10, just that simply.
2. For the network solution i think you need the APN settings. Check this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876878&highlight=apn+settings
okey ty for the reply mate will try it right now using the 2 APN xml files in ur link. and i already managed to fix the phone number problem using a samsung phone P so its just the problem with the phone saying no sim card every now and then
will get back with you i'l see if the phone keeps dooing its job as intended
hey mate, today i had it again : No sim-card in phone .. so .. nope its not the APN settings. any other suggestions any1 ?
Hi Guys,
Someone please help. I am not able to connect to the network to make calls. Funnily 3g is working but not able to select Airtel as my network. Dont know what to do.
Running the standard firmware but it is not registering on the network.
Regards,
Vijay.
Maybe it's sim locked.
I did reply before but my post disappeared.
It is not sim locked. Bought it on Lets buy and tried to install a custom rom. that didnt work so i reinstalled the standard firmware. and not able to connect to mobile network since then. Tried multiple versions of firmware, still on stock firmware. can check my mails and connect to the market but mobile networks are not available. Pls help.
No CSC wrong CSC set all mobile's network
settings manually .
Or flash back Orginal branded rom .
Phone firmware Country Specific Codes does not cover your network is the usual answer to the problem .

Restore your backed up efs folder as per the instructions .
failing that search for IMEI fix or flash stock firmware see if you get IMEI back .
no IMEI means unrecognised phone network will not accept it .

HI JJEgan,
Unfortunately i dont have a backup. carelessly started assuming nothing would go wrong.
I have flashed the stock firmware for india. i didnt get the imei back. trying to find something to fix the imei without any success. could you please help me with any resources you might know? Thank you for the efforts taken.
Regards,
Vijay.

Hi,
I'm new to both this forum and android, just switched from iphone and already running into the same dead end that I was trying to avoid. Hope to get some suggestions on solutions before trying sell it off again...
I bought a second hand SGSII which is from the UK (T-mobile), and with the help of my brother who has a SGSII and have been on android for a while, I debranded/rooted changed ROM, Kernel and Modem firmware. Before doing this I noted that it did not work with the network I am on but it did with another (both Swedish). After rooting etc I tried again, still does not work (I've tried several sims from my provider, none of them work, still only the other provider). I tried using the Sim Unlock app on Market but it is of no use: It DOES NOT ASK for a sim unlock code on start up. In fact, the unlock app worked and gave me such a code but I cannot use it. Also, I tried plugging in the code using a few of the call codes but it was of no use. And when I put *#SIMLOCK# into the phone dialer everything says 'off'.
Does anyone have any idea of what to do? I cannot go back to Samsung as I do not have a receipt. I hate to think that I have to end my use of Android before it ever started but I have searched my problem for days on end and neither me nor my brother can think of anything.
Any help most appreciated!
Cheers Matt
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband: I9100NEKF2
Kernel: 2.6.35.11-ninphetamine-2.0.5+ ninpo at titan #20
Build no: GINGERBREAD.XXKH3
Network not working: Telia (Sweden)
Network working: Comviq (Sweden)
I am confused did you buy an unlocked phone . If not did you get it unlocked .

JJEgan - sorry if I was unclear. I do not actually know for sure, but as I have never seen the screen on startup where it asks for the unlock code I suspect that it must have been. It now - same as it has been for as long as I have had it - works only with one network which has nothing to do with T-mobile (on which is was originally).
I only know of one way of unlocking, i.e. the unlock app on Market. If there are others I would be very interested!
Phone may require you to enter the networks APN settings manually .
You may not have the correct CSC file for your network for automatic connection ,

Hi - been busy the last few days and unable to try getting the phone to work. I cannot enter the APN settings (which should only have to do with internet?) as I cannot connect to any network in the list - I get "unable to select network". I've tried multiple official firmwares with both only NEE (Nordic) CSC and multi-CSC (where I chose NEE) and none work. Any other ideas?
Cheers
Hey guys,
This is my first post here so please be nice I will try be as informative as I can!
Last week my aunt got a Samsung Galaxy S2 as an upgrade after my recommendation. She loved the look of things and liked how she could access Youtube and Facebook but then she got locked out of her phone completely and couldn't get back in because she didn't know her Gmail account.
After a bit of research I found out that I should do 'Hard Reset' and all should be back to normal afterwards, I did so and everything looked okay.
After giving the phone back to her my aunt said she no longer wanted it and gave it to me because it was too 'complicated'. Obviously I was overjoyed as my current phone does not even compare to this beast!
I put in my Orange sim, (hers was Orange too) turned on the Wi-Fi to update all the apps not even noticing that the 3g icon wasn't on. I could see the phone had some signal so I thought everything was okay. It was only when I tried to call my dad of the phone that I realised something was wrong. It said 'Mobile Network not Available'.
I have found many threads about 'rooting' or IMEI but I don't understand what they mean as I am a newbie in all of this.
I would send the phone for repair but it does not have insurance so that's a no go. The phone came unlocked too so I don't understand why it's doing this. The sim I put in works on my old phone so I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with it.
What should I do?
Looking forward to your replies
See * HERE *
Remove your battery and your sum card.
Wait 10 seconds put them back in and reboot.
If problem still exists go to
settings > wireless and networks > mobile networks. Select your carrier network.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Thank you for your replies samgalaxys2 and dred_up, I appreciate it!
I tried doing what you said samgalaxys2 but nothing's changed, I tried doing it myself before but no luck
In reply to your questions on the other thread I can confirm that my sim works as it works on my old phone. I can also create contacts on the sim too.
I don't know what the EFS folder is but when I dial that number you said (*#06# ) I can also confirm that the IMEI is the same number shown in my settings and underneath the battery.
What should I do?
Wiska.
The fault = put your sim in the phone then not working .
First step has to be to get a new sim .
That would be followed by either a return to a service centre or via XDA a flash of new stock firmware .

Have you tried the Access Point Names in the network settings, mine changed it's self after flashing a new rom.
Hello JJEgan, I have tried various working sim cards and it doesn't make a difference, I even tried a brand new T-Mobile sim. In the 'About Phone' section I can clearly see the Sim's name but it always says Out Of Service underneath.
I have tried that too s.d.oconnor, at times it doesn't work and when it does it says something like 'Network Updated' but nothing changes.
What do you guys mean by 'Flash of new Stock Firmware' & 'Flashing new Rom'
Sorry for the amount of questions guys, I have never experienced something like this before

Hmm okay,
I followed the thread and had to do it at-least 3 times before I could do it 'correctly'
I managed to get Ice Cream Sandwich OS on the phone and although I could now use the sims internet I can't use it to call or access my voicemail.
What can I do to fix this?
If I have to download a new rom could you copy the link because I think that maybe that's where I went wrong?
I am sorry but I tried my best as it is my first time doing all of this.
I think the Rom should be an XX as the phone and myself are in England plus my network is Orange
Wiska.
You can use the Dutch firmware XEN without problems...
Also is your fone a i9100P (NFC) or standard i9100?
Or take fone into Orange or a Samsung repair centre to have it checked out.
Hmm do you recommend I Flash it again and get XEN?
Do you think they'll repair it even though it has been flashed? I've got ICSandwich on it and I don't think Orange has released it yet lol
I tried to change the APN but nothing is happening

If it was a Orange (UK) branded phone, then first download, install and run Triange_away app. This will reset the custom rom flashing counter and take away any triangle at boot up (if present).
Next you need to download and flash the BVKJ4 rom from * HERE * - it is the latest official Orange UK ROM. It will wipe the phone to factory setting and you will loose root. It may solve your problem, but if it doesn't it will put your phone back to valid warranty for the service centre.
Sorry for the late reply, the amount of work college gave us yesterday was just too much!
Thank you for the link fred_up but the links are dead
Thank you for trying to help though, I really appreciate it mate!
Anyone know what I should do?
Search for the stock rom you're after on Samfirmware.com.
Edit to add - Make a note of the rom details from Intra's thread (the one you were linked to where the links don't work), that will make searching Samfirmware easier.
Thank you MistahBungle!
I am downloading what looks to be the firmware I need right now so fingers crossed it works!
Many thanks for the help mate! I will keep you updated if it works or not
I tried the latest Orange one but that didn't do anything, I then tried using the Carphone Warehouse one and although the 3G internet stuff works I can't call or text!
This is so annoying lol, any advice?
The phone isn't locked or anything as my aunt gave it to me, what can be the problem?

toot the damn phone
had same problem , just wipe data/factory reset, and cache then make a clean install of ur rom , and request the APNs again from your carrier
at first u can just delete the APN settings of ur carrier and try to get them again from it
