I have T-Mobile version of this phone but I use it with Mobilicity.
Any time I go into a place that has no reception I obviously lose signal and both the bars and the 3G icon disappear.
However, when I leave that area and come back to the area where I had reception, the 3G icon never comes back. When I attempt to make a call I a get a message saying "not registered on network". If i go to wireless settings and try to manually search for a provider, the phone will only find Roaming.
The only thing that solves the problem is rebooting the phone.
I have Bionix 1.9 rom but this issue happened on stock as well. It also happens to another guy that has Vibrant9 rom.
On the other hand, other phones like the old samsung galaxy doesn't have that issue.
Any ideas. Am I missing some settings option?
Thanks...
I can only tell you I have exactly the same problem. Using it with Mobilicity.
Let's hope someone will come up with a fix.
A guess is that it has to do with the order in which it is searching to network operators after it loses signal. I am not sure how the phone is hard coded, but it is possible that upon reboot, it checks the SIM for which network to lock on to, but without a reboot it is looking for T-Mobile, because that is hard coded into the phone.
This is all a guess, but perhaps setting it to Manual network selection instead of automatic would help lock it on your network.
^yes, I think if you take it off the auto setting in your mobile network, that may solve the problem. Even though I'm with TMO we had a 3g outage and while it was on auto the same message came up for me, even after the outage was over. Set it to wcdma only, and I was able to make calls and get back on the network.
Setting it to Manual will just force us to do it manually every time it gets disconnected.
Not a solution, unfortunately.
Thanks guys,
Is there an application perhaps that will search for available networks and register on the network of your choosing once found?

Where you able to find a solution to this problem? I'm having the same problem. Let me know. Thanks.
+1111111.... i meant plus 1... but yeah ...i'm having the same problem... Vibrant on Mobilicity w/ Froyo Rom from Axurus <-- i think thats how u spell it
Anyways, this happends while im at home, sitting on the same chair as i was when i had the 3G...and then boom..............3g just disappears and doesn't come back til' i restart....
Have you tried setting the mobile network to "WCDMA Only" ?
Mobilicity doesnt have a GSM network.
Hello,
I bought my Atrix in AT&T, unlocked the sim and then rooted it. 3 days ago I finally bought a data plan, but for some reason, even when I'm using the same settings I got from Cellcom (my cellular supplier), the only thing I'm getting is "page is not available". I have found out that no matter if I have APN point or not, the H sign still appears in grey. Also, quick settings doesn't allow me to switch the data to "on" - it remains on "off" and under it, written "unknown". I really want to fix this problem, but I'm running out of ideas. please help me =)
Rooted AT&T Atrix: GingerBlur 4.5 ( already came from AT&T with 4.1.83)
thanks!
delete the settings that are in. reset to default and try to input again. after you save them make sure you select the actual apn for use. you should see the icons start to light up if its in right
I've done it like milions of time.
Off course,when I put my sim in cellcom's phone I can surf.I don't understand why the data is always off...
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
Woke up this morning with everything working. Got out of bed and place my phone on my desk and turned on my computer. I then looked back at my phone to see i had not service. Confused, i restarted my phone to see if that worked and it didnt. I tried another sim and it didnt work either. i then put both of the sims in a iphone and it worked there. I restored the phone to stock and 2 other roms and it still isnt working. The weird part is when on stock i get signal bars even when their is no sim. When i try to dial out i get "Not Registered on Network"
Any help is great help

Have you checked your Settings? Still got IMEI? ([Settings] [About Phone] [Status]) Phone connected to correct Network Operator? Access Point Names has correct data in it? [Settings] [More Settings] [Mobile Neworks]
Thanks for the responses. I had a rom running on it for a little bit over a week and didnt make any changes since. I also do have an Imei and an apn

It doesnt even show my network operator, thats the weird part it only shows rogers and when i put a sim in for fido (Rogers>Fido) i got service but no h+ even with the correct apn i only got edge
My Network operator doesn't show as a normal either - I do a Search and get (after a wait) Telstra, Optus and Voda - choose Telstra and it pops up a 'Registered on Network' msg.

yeah when i search i only get rogers???? This is the single most awkward thing ive ever seen
EDITTZ Found the problem. The phone switched itself to only look for one band not all. +_+ dont know how it got their and how it pertained through all the wipes but got it working DDDDDDDD
i had the same very exact problem..and yes when its in auto mode it only detects gsm signal so the data is slow signal is E.
i usually use the wcdma only option so that the phone on searches for 3g h and h+ but now when i select that option it only gives me
not registered on network..and no data signal at all.. and also the weird thing is that there is a signal bar on it plus when i scan for
network it searches the other two carrier brand on our country not the sims own carrier. help anyone

Hey xTristinx, glad you got your phone working.
I have the same problem on my Galaxy S, my SIM wouldn't register a network on it but it worked on a different phone. My Galaxy S still gets a signal but always says "out of service". I think this might be a problem because my friend used his SIM card in my phone and it f***** up the bands. Could you give me any suggestions on how you fixed your problem?
Thank you.

No change at all. I've even flashed in the latest UK firmware (of the BC52 family, as I remember) which some claim also has VoWifi enabled for. I haven't had any joy at all. I'll change it back to the original HK firmware this weekend.
I must mention, though, that the first time I flashed the SEA ROM and went into the part of the menu where WoWifi would configured, it froze with a blank screen for several seconds before taking me back to the home screen. When I went ito the menu again, it was just like I was using the original software, with no menu for VoWifi; and has been like that with subsequent firmware versions I have flash3d since. I don't know if that means anything, I am just making it known.
I must admit, though, that I have not flashed the SEA ROM by clearing the phone completely (I have been preserving userdata). Reason for this is I have media and games taking the lion's share of the 512 gigs of this thing's memory; and having to reinstate all that is not quite my idea of fun. But do you suppose that it would make a difference?

I've a SIM card issue too. This one is tied specifically to the SIM issues by Vodafone Irl.
Android 12 pre January Google Security update it works fine. Factory reset / Full Wipe / Sony Software repair / Newsflash with different regions, all result in the same issue. Immediately after factory reset it works, but a security update is pending install, requiring reboot. After reboot phone is unable to maintain SIM card, SIM menu in settings keeps disappearing, phone UI, Settings UI crashes. Only way to fix is to remove the SiM card.
2 SIMs from Vodafone Irl tried and one brand new from the Vodafone store. All fail. They all work perfectly fine in my previous OnePlus 8/6 phone.
Using a Three Irl SIM works perfectly, using a Vodafone UK SIM , roaming on the Vodafone Irl network also works.
I am at a complete loss as to what to try next.
I'm dealing with Customer Service with the past 2 weeks and as of now, no service engineer has responded.

This is "similar" to the isse i've had on my old Iphone 4S with Wind IT SIM. There was something incompatible with wind sim cards with that iphone model. Appll swapped 3 times the phone but never solved the issue. Wind also done nothing. The issue was solved some years after but i already sold the phone at that time
Yeah, I can't see the issue being fixed.
Funny that the issue happed after the security update.
I don't want to have to switch networks but it looks like I might have no choice. I'll hold out I'll either Sony get back to me or a new security update lands on new FW.
I've not seen anyone else with the same issue, but there's no provider here selling the Xperia 1.3
Either way, it's a pain in the ass...
I tried changing the enabled radio modes in an Engineering menu and saw exactly this. If it's not a mode in the GUI everything crashes. I fixed it with a network reset. In your case, experimenting with the Engineering menu might be the only way to fix it. If you reset it and the SIM requests an unsupported mode you'll be back to crashing.

Sounds like your device has a problem. I haven't had any issues (besides the absence of VoLTE/VoWifi) with all firmware versions I have tried out so far. What happens when you do a clean install with the original firmware?

Same issue. Everything works perfectly until the first reboot when the new security patch gets installed.
That's the problem.
If it's hardware surely the fault would occur before the security patch is applied not after.

Go into the Dialler and type the following to go to the menu you want.
Service Menu *#*#73788423#*#*
FCM Diagnostics *#*#426#*#*
IMEI Info *#06#
Testing *#*#4636#*#*
The One in the image is the Testing menu, Phone info, 3 Dot Menu top right (scroll down then up to make it appear), Select Radio Band
PROCEED WITH CAUTION! I'm guessing you could possibly FUBAR here.
I had the problem after touching this menu:
*#*#4636#*#
-> Phone information
--> Set Preferred Network Type:
---> NR/LTE/GSM/WCDMA
Everything SIM related crashed with a different value. I have a XQ-BC62 so I'm not sure my setting is the same as other phones.
A network reset will fix any damage done here, assuming your SIM card doesn't break it again. It will cost you all BT pairing, WiFi passwords, and APNs.

I had performed a Network Settings reset, same issue. I had and currently have the same settings as above.
What it reminds me of, is having an old SIM Card and putting it in a new phone, similar to when they changed the voltage capabilities of the SIM cards years ago. Back when we were trimming SIM cards with scissors to fit
So I received a Play store System update today, again still showing February 1St 2022.
Still having the same issue...
Google Video
I had a response from Sony UK, but nothing other than try switching off 4G and 5G ! I can't even get to that menu!
Just received FW update 61.1.A.4.78 this morning. Unfortunately no change to my Vodafone issue.
As of today, still no response from Sony.
I've determined that the SIM profile must be stored on the Phone. Factory resetting the phone whilst roaming and changing a setting in the *#*#4636#*#* menu appears to cause it. The roaming was the thing that killed it. However it still doesn't explain why no Vodafone IRL SIM card worked.
I have managed to repeat a similar issue where the SIM menu crashes each time it is accessed , again after messing with the *#*#4636#*#* menu. and /or hot swapping SIM cards causes the problem. Use a different SIM card in the device and it works , use the original SIM card in a different device and it works. I believe there is a SIM profile stored on the device that is getting corrupted. The only resolve is a factory reset. Or a new SIM card (waiting to confirm this, new card on the way...can't face another factory reset!)
