[Q] SGS3 neo i9301i not registered on network - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all.
I just came to a big problem. Yesterday my and my girlfriends SGS neo i9301i phones stopped to connect to carrier network and began to say only emergency calls/not connected to network. I found similar posts but found something what could help but still dont know what should I do as my problem is kinda different.
My IMEI havent changed, I bought phone unlocked straight from carrier. I rooted and installed custom roms on my i9301i but not on her.
So right now neither I or she can use our phones as both have the same problem.
I tried to reinstall stock firmware on mine ( as i have changed it before) still no changes.
ANY suggestions? looking for a fast response as I really need to get my phone running....

I might be stating the obvious, but i would contact the carrier. It sounds like an account problem if both phones went offline at the same time.

But would be account problem, if I put other carriers sim card in and it shows the same? Phone reads sim card, but wont connect to the network. Or can my carrier somehow lock my phone from connecting to any carrier network?

1. Has this situation been occuring since the beginning? I mean , have you ever connected to the network?
2. Is your phone simlocked? If not , I'd suggest you to check if another sim card (preferably another company) works properly. If works , try changing the sim card first.
No Network
Hi,
Im also struggling with the same problem, its most frustrating being without the fundamental function of a mobile phone. Im on O2. It all started when 2.1 updated on my X10, since then my phone doesnt connect to O2 network.
Ive tried removing the sim, cleaning etc. then putting back in.
Tried swapping my sim with a friend (same network), no problem with the sim.
Just tried re-booting my phone (re-updating), no joy.
The last resort i guess before sending it in to O2 is to throw out of the window?
Any ideas?
Thanks
p.s. new HD camera does nothing but 'force close'.
thx for replay
my phone unlocked n and am try another simcard with another company its woks n am check my sim card in another phone its not work
first am got update (change region nomber method) befor 4 days ago n its work with me after update without problem but yesterday am not there is no network
i feel like my sim card banned from virign network so i don't know where is the problem in my sime card or in virgin network but am not feel i have problem in my phone coz its work with another sim card n my sim not work in another phone.

I remember somebody had problems with new iPhone and old original ATT SIM-cards. ATT just gave a new SIM-card - it was a kind of incompability. Maybe you should go to Virgin tech guys and ask them to fix the problem.
I have strange thing with my phone when it was locked - I used old proxy-SIM and it worked fine with 1.6, but after I flashed it up to 2.1 it worked around 16 hours and eventually told me that there is no service - just like yours. Nobody had similar experience, but look like strange things are possible with those really smart phones. After unlocking - no problems for now.

me too i think i have problem with my sim card, am already contacted the service clients but not solution till now !!!!!
i think after update, x10 will made variation of m-voltage which supported to sim cards, so directly burned( if the variation of voltage related with used area of sim-cards ,that's depends on our operators)

I don't think, the X10 can damage SIM-card since SE always targets world market and takes in attention any regional differences. Virgin is not a real carrier, it is a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) and uses Orange network as an underlying carrier. The last resort is to claim that you lost you phone (with the SIM card, of course) and ask for replacement. They can charge you (I used to pay $25 for T-Mobile USA in the nearest dealer shop, but didn't do any research since I needed the phone badly).
There is another possibility - as I know, ATT automatically changes the plan for their subscribers to a data-plan that is obviously more expensive as they recognize the new phone as a smartphone. It is weird practice, but see - it is possible, so be sure what's going on with your carrier.
please help me with network problem

sarcasim is a good thing but maybe you aren't comprehending what i am saying duhh!!
i own NSPRO box and have unlocked the galaxy S phones quite frequently, the phone is sim unlocked for any sim card or gsm carrier, what i am saying has nothing to do with unlocking with the sim card in( which i tried for ****s and giggles). the problem is the vibrant is not recognized on the network , i have tried my sim and several other t-mobile sims the phone doedn't receive signal on t-mobile network or simple mobile( which is a NVO of t-mobile)so what i am asking is does t-mobile block imei's from their network and is their a solution other then changing imei of the phone which i do not wish to do although i can change imei i will not since it is illegal.
the problem
let me clarify it actually says on the screen
"not registered on network"
anyway to register it on system???
its unlocked and works on at&t, h2o and all other gsm carriers except t-mobile and simple mobile
clone another imei, that will solve this problem, There is an app that allows you to give you a new I D # to your phone
I am same problem here everytime try to make call it says "Not Registered on the Network", SIM card works fine on different phone, also other SIM when inserted on Vibrant gives same message.
Under Settings> Wireless> Mobile network settings does not allow access...
Can someone help resolve this situation.
Thanks,
I am also
having the same problem. I purchased a used Vibrant from my friend whom defaulted on his bill so he sold his phone to me. When I attempt to use the T Mobile prepaid SIM or a regular T Mobile SIM it will not allow me to connect to the network. It stays on (Searching) or (No Service) but the date and time updates so I know it is connecting, just not able to use the network. Is there anyway to get around this problem or do I need to root and unlock to go to another carrier?
Hi guys I am having similar issue, please help
I was using bionix 1.3.1 by team whiskey, whats your advice do I change to ICS, will that solve the problem or simple radio upgrade will solve the matter? I have gone through several sites and found that this problem is with many android mobiles since last 2-3 years. Is there no solution to this yet! I have tried Airplane mode, removing battery, downloading autocut and all those basic methods but to no help ...
I have the same problem, did anybody find a solution?
I tried everything, flashed to stock, GB, ICS, JB.
My phone is unlocked and it only works on AT&T, the sim card is good, as I'm using it on my backup phone.

Same here. This all happened when I let my friend borrow my phone to put his SIM on it. It was a prepaid Simple Mobile SIM. It didn't work but after I went to put my SIM card back into my Vibrant, the phone never got service.
Funny thing is, my SIM works on one of my older phones, so I know the SIM still works, but my Vibe gets messages like "out of service" and "not registered on network" even through it still has some bars.
I think the problems relates to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37703090#post37703090
Somehow the bands on your device is messed up so you never get a signal. Not sure how to fix it but any solutions would be great.

[Q] Atrix 4g WiFi not working

Hey guys,
i have the atrix 4g on which i used a simunlock code, so that i coudl put in my sim card from a european carrier, that works great, but the thing is the WiFi stopped working, it just went into a scanning/connecting loop and than it disconnects.
So i factory restored it and figuered out that s soon as i put in a working sim card (one that has cellular reception), the WiFi starts to behave like that and to get it to work i have to factory restore again without a sim card or with a nonworking sim card.
So i tried the motorola support and they said ye hardware issue, send in the phone, my problem however is im in europe right now and i cant really send or get the phone to motorola USA and they totally refuse to send it to an address outside of the US. However im 100% sure its a software issue (both things work for itself, and the thing that even removing the sim card doesnt restore the wifi funcionality makes me think there is some software issue).
So please guys if anyone has an idea how i could fix that i would be really greatful. Btw i tried some of the apps from the market to "fix" wifi (fxr, wififix etc). Fxr said it fixed the wifi bit it still wouldnt connect, the other apps just had the same issue as the stock wireless manager.
Thanks for your time
Did.you use software to unlock it or just a code?

I have the exact same problem.
My phone is unlocked and can make calls, but WiFi disconnects me almost immediately. The phone also thinks my prepaid sim has H+ connectivity.
When I go back to my AT&T SIM, I have to do a reboot or 2 to get it cleared up, and then WiFi works again.
oh, i see that, i guess its some sort of ATT measure to block nonATT SIM cards, eventho the phone gets simunlock code. But the funny thing is there are a lot of people for whom it all works (like the guys in the unlock thread, using it in canada without a hitch), so im really wondering if this is not just a software glitch (i hope it is and gets fixed witht he 2.3 update..), otherwise my only hope are the devs here to crack wide open the bootloader and put some custom roms on it =/ really a great phone, but all this ATT software crap makes it feel like its an Iphone ...
But uhm still, anyone has any ideas how to try to fix this problem before the updates? =/

i also have a friend in saudi arabia who got the unlock code and the wifi is working fine.
only 2 people reported this so far. i guess it could be a hardware problem ? because the other user beside you have this problem even without sim installed " or that what i understood from him "
you can check the other thread too. maybe someone could post something usefull.
hmm i see, where did you find that thread, i was sort of searching for ages and didnt find any issues like that =/
Ye i mean i have this problem without a sim aswell if i dont factory restore the phone, after i do that without a sim card however the WiFi works great...
so i am kind of reluctant to believe it being a hardware issue due to this, sort of software specific issue (at least i think if it would be hardware related, the wifi would start working as soon as i go to airplane mode/take out the sim and a factory reset wouldnt be necessary), or do you think that my theory is rather flawed in thinking that?
and ye the problem is im in europe now and as the reps at motorola support told me, i would have to send the phone to the US for warranty and they would only send it back to an address within the US =/ i will try my luck with the german and uk support site, to see if they could do something for me.
thanks for your time guys tho
hey guys what do you think if i would use this code:
* 2767 * 3855 #
Think before you give this code. This code is used for formatting the original manufacturer. This will delete all files and settings, including internal memory storage. This will also reinstall the phone’s firmware.
To restore it to manufacturer (will it request an unlock code again after that?) cuz i have 2 codes to unlock but the first one worked, so maybe if i woudl try it with the second one than?
I just unlock my atrix with the code from cellunlock, works great and wifi is fine as well. Would like to know where u get the code, and how it turns out if u try reset to default using the combo. Pls update. Ths

I'm having the same issue of not being able to connect to WiFi.
I bought the phone in Las Vegas with an AT&T - pay as you go (no contract).
I bought an unlock code from SwiftUnlocks, and used my Rogers SIM, which appeared to work. I then rooted the phone.
Using the Rogers network, I've been unable to use any sort of data. Phone calls and texts work fine. Then I noticed that my WiFi was not working properly. It would try to obtain an IP address, but couldn't connect. After several reboots, I got the phone to connect to WiFi for a few minutes.
I just did a factory reset, now I'm unable to connect to any network or WiFi to login with MotorBlur, so I can't really use the phone now.
I'm quite frustrated and not sure what else I can do.
Update - after putting the original AT&T SIM card in, and rebooting several times, the WIFI started working again.
I'm still unable to get Data working over the Rogers network in Canada.

i am getting my phone in few hours, then i am going to order from cellunlock a code and wait for 2 days to get the lock. unless someone has a spare code he can pm me i would be thankful.
the code is IMEI specific, cant give oyujust spare codes
secondly, to get wifi to work you have to remove your sim card, put in the att or a nonworking sim card and do factory reset, than wifi will work. and you can load all the stuff via wifi, and than just put in your working sim and use the phone as a phone +3g data (the 3g data works great for me to be honest)
oh i got my code from swiftunlock but i dont think that matters, they all get it from teh same provider im pretty sure.
and if anyone si wondering t he sbf update did NOT fix my wifi problem. i ahve tried several wifi fix programs and neither worked aswell, the fxr wifi did some stuff that the phone now sees the networks but still cant connect.
this is to update everyone that i got the phone. had an issue about the screen doing lots of flickering. contacted amazon and sent it back.
in the whole process so far i lost around 60$ between importing and exporting the phone. all in all. i will stick with my iphone 4 for now. its a good phone.
but i cant take this sadness all over again if i imported another phone with an issue with it as well. i am too OCD for my own good.
so true what you say, tho im coming form a nokia 6220 classic, a bit older than the iphone 4
Hey GUYS...

Mobile Network State : Disconnected. Cannot make calls.

Greetings
Today I upgraded my ATT Galaxy S2 to the ICS rom that appeared recently with Odin3 1.85.
Everything went pretty smoothly until I realized whenever I tried to make a call nothing would happen, the confusing thing is my internet kept working on Edge (since I'm T-mo on an unlocked phone). I tried to check via de *#simlock# command if it was unlocked and indeed it seems to be.
Furthermore I tried to send a text message to myself and it seems to have gone through added to the fact that the internet is there, the only problem is the calls.
I checked the IMEI and it seems to be fine, I did a factory reset and nothing happened.
During my exploration of the phone I found that it said, as the title implies, Mobile Network State: Disconnected which freaked me out.
I also tried resetting the mobile networks to default but nothing is working I'm kind of desperate (I usually avoid posting as opposed as researching) and have been searching online for near 2 hours I would appreciate any help.
Thanks
SO many things wrong.

ATT Galaxy S2 is the SGH-I777. You are in the GT-I9100 forums. If you really do have an I777, and flashed an I9100 firmware to your I777, then this is likely the source of your problems. The I777 and I9100 have SIMILAR hardware to where a flash wouldn't kill your phone, but things wouldn't work right. Sounds like what you are describing.

You say you have an ATT Galaxy S2, but here you say you're on T-Mobile. Are you in the US? If you're on the US, how did you get an ATT Galaxy S2 on T-Mobile? ATT phones are usually SIM locked. Also, T-Mobile has their own Galaxy S2 model, which is the SGH-T989. Totally different hardware. If you DO have an ATT model, and are on T-Mobile, then you are probably getting abysmal mobile data speeds. The ATT model will only get Edge speeds on T-Mobile's network, and vice versa, the T-Mobile model will only get Edge speeds on ATT's network.
EDIT: Oh, I re-read that. I see you recognize you will only get Edge on T-Mobile's network when using this device. But that doesn't answer my question. If you have an ATT model (SGH-I777) did you SIM-unlock it?

Again, if you actually have an ATT model (SGH-I777) and you flashed an I9100 firmware, you probably got modem files not meant for your phone.

Bottom line, check your phone model. Don't trust the boot screen or the About Phone details, as a firmware flash will change those. Look on the label under your battery. I'm guessing you have an SGH-I777, and you flashed a GT-I9100 firmware.
ATT's Galaxy S2 (SGH-I777) has its own forum.
T-Mobile's (SGH-T989) has its own forum too.
EDIT: Please let this be a lesson. Always be sure you are flashing a firmware meant for your specific model of phone.

[Q] Galaxy S2 Won't Register on Netowrk

Hi all,
I'll explain my situation. I had a work supplied HTC Sensation. The most god-awful handset known to mankind... except the iPhone. I digress. We are on Vodafone UK. When it came to renewing the work phones I was given an "upgrade" iPhone 5s. Long story short, I'm not using it. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 which was on T-Mobile. I was given it and I thought I'd give it a go as it has to be better than the HTC Sensation.
Firstly I put in my Vodafone SIM. As I expected it didn't work. I have checked the IMEI number and it hasn't been blacklisted. So I thought I'd unlock the phone and root it. I followed the advice in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365701
After the first go of installing Jellybean which is what was on there initially I got to the end, rooted it and it wouldn't unlock using the method given. The method goes on to say that it works with ICS. So, I went through it again and installed ICS. Rooted it. Ran the unlock. Still locked.
Question 1: Is SIM lock the same thing as Network Lock?
At the moment, I have the stock ROM from the above thread for ICS installed. 4.0.3 I think it is. If I put my Vodafone UK SIM in this phone, when I try to make a call it says "Not registered on network". Tried following lots of advice in different threads. None worked. I thought, maybe that it can't register on the network as I am boosting my signal through a Sure Signal. I tried going to a place where I know I would normally get signal and tried doing it there. Still no luck. I keep digging and I come across the DEBUG MENU on the device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882796&page=4
It suggests this:
dial "*#197328640#" to enter debug menu
click "6 [common]"
click "6 [nv rebuild]"
click "2 [erases three partition!]"
Except in the 3rd option there is no menu option 2. I have kept digging and then came across the "Personalizatiob Status" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740167) and it shows this:
Network Lock
[OFF]
Network Subnet Lock
[OFF]
SP Lock
[OFF]
CP Lock
[OFF]
Please note that during all this my Vodafone SIM is NOT in this phone. It is in the HTC Sensation and is working just fine.
Question 2: Do I have to have my SIM in the phone when I do all this?
Question 3: How can I get this phone to register on the network with my existing Vodafone UK SIM that is working just fine?
I've tried the Galaxy S2 Unlock apps on the market store. The unlock code and unfreeze code show gibberish.
What am I missing? I don't actually care for using the stock Samsung ROMs because the phone is way out of warranty anyway. I just want to avoid having to use the iPhone I've been given.
Any advice welcome.
Any advice from anyone?
Cheers.

Nope, haven't tried that one. I will give it a go later on this evening. I've tried a couple of unlockers that have been recommended in other threads and neither have worked. I'll keep you posted.
Any thoughts on the other questions I had on the original post?
With regards to the iPhone, I think I'd rather stick with the HTC Sensation despite its multiple daily crashes/restarts and almost constant need for recharging.
I tried the app and it said everything was unlocked except for CSC Lock. Now, I did some reading on that lock and that seems to be a geographic lock applied by Samsung. As this phone was bought in the UK and I'm putting a UK sim in it, then this won't affect me because both the original TMobile SIM and my Vodafone SIM are UK.
It said my unlock code was 00000000. I doubt it is that, but on the slim chance it is, where do I even put the unlock code in?
Attached is a screenshot of the lock status from GalaxSim by Spocky.
It now shows everything is unlocked. Any ideas?
I can see the sim operator is listed as Vodafone and the registered operator is O2 according to that. Weird as it had a working T-Mobile sim in it prior to my getting it.
Thanks.
Any further ideas? There has to be something I've missed.
Well, I have still not managed to find out why this phone won't connect to the network. Sadly my old HTC Sensation has pretty much now become unusable and I've had no choice but to start using the iPhone provided by my work as I've not been successful in getting the S2 up and running.
I cannot believe just how bad the iPhone is. I've always said they were rubbish from day one despite having never owned one. Now I have one, I can justifiably say that I was correct in that they are dreadful things, however, I didn't quite realise just how rubbish they really are. Now I know.
