Hi peeps I need some help over here. Currently my phone is unable to connect to the my network. It shows "No Service" yet I am able to detect networks. Just that I am unable to connect to them. The sim card that I used is working on other phone which shows full reception. To confirm that my HTC Hero has problem, I used another working sim card on it. Nothing has changed though. I am not sure if it is a hardware or firmware problem.
I am using a rooted phone flashed with Elinux Special Edition 2.2.1 Final, Baseband version 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.14
Sounds like the imei is blacklisted. Can't do much with that
Sent from my Motorola Startac running Android 3.0 Honeycomb.
How do I check if imei is black listed? I bought this phone first hand.
In fact I had sent to htc for servicing and they told me its the faulty hardware. My phone warranty expired 2 months ago Now they want to charge my an insane price to change the whole phone board Is there anyware to fix this phone because I actually intended to sell this off in 2 months time.
Is your phone locked to a different supplier? Did it used to work with this SIM?

It was working fine that day. The next morning there is no reception as shown in the phone.
Who's your network provider ?
I've had no end of grief with meteor IE, every other sim works fine but meteor only gets a service if you turn off 3g

SingTel from Southeast Asia, Singapore
So around 3 weeks ago I got a brand new unlocked Z2 D6503. As it says, it supports LTE and the bands it support are available and broadcasted here in KSA.
I'm on the operator Zain KSA and when I manually search for mobile networks, I do see the LTE network by the operator but whenever I select it, it doesn't register on it.
I've tried everything from calling/visiting the network operator from changing the SIM and getting a new one.
The FW I have is .314
Anyone has any experience or any idea? Do I need to reflash the FW?
May be enter the correct APN settings for your carrier?

Firstly, are you on an LTE plan? For Singapore, we need to sign up to an LTE plan and the operator has to do the necessary activation, before we can register on the LTE network.

That's the thing, I already had 4G activated, and I specially got it deactivated and activated again on this handset. 4G coverage is in my area, each and everything is in optimal condition. The network operator says everything is also fine at their end...

Yup everything is configured correctly
I can confirm that it is the handset that is not registering LTE.
I just popped in a working LTE SIM which has full coverage in my area and Z2 fails to register it...
Well I can't say much about LTE since I am on 3G data plan so can't use it. But the funny thing happened that I was on Edge connection, even tho I was in city centre and I could use 3G, it was full. So went into phone options and changed into 3G only and then Z2 has magically seen the better connection. Try to do that for LTE, maybe it will work. Otherwise I would flash other firmware or repair with PCC.

Okay so actually solved the issue.
I reinstalled/repaired the FW using Sony PC Companion and now LTE works perfectly. But the side effect? I heard that 4.4.2 causes many bugs and seems like I just got the phone sluggish one.
Phone feels sluggish in different parts as well as when I tap the recent icons button. Also the animation for WiFi turning on and off is not there anymore...
I don't know what's happening anymore....:/
I too have a bit of a lag when I hit recents menu button. I guess it's just the way Z2 is now and we have to wait for new firmwares, hopefully with less bugs, to come.
Happy for you that you fixed the problem with LTE

Yeah, seems like we'll just have to wait for 4.4.4 to hit...
Sad how the animations worked and there was no lag but sadly no LTE functionality. Such bad FW release.
And yeah atleast I fixed the LTE issue as I really can't stand slow internet and H+ seems pretty slow to me.
Same problem...install the new software through PC companion still the problem

Hi guys!
Hopefully someone here may be able to help.
Recently got a Honor 7 and has been working great, about two days ago I stopped being able to make calls and use data.
E.G. it recognises that I have an 02 sim, then switches to emergency calls only but wouldn't even let me call 999.
The 2G slot works absolutely fine. I cannot find anything on-line with regards to this issue (no fixes anyway).
Its not a major issue as I can at least still make calls and these days there is WiFi everywhere but wouldn't mind getting my 4G back or at least finding out what has caused this issue.
Would be so grateful if someone could point me in the right direction as I am completely stumped.
Tried a factory reset, no luck. Was thinking of completely re flashing the OS onto the phone and starting from scratch but not entirely sure if its worth it.
Thanks guys!

I have a same problem, but the device work in 3G only... I have tried a lot of things to solve the problem, but no way... For this reason I changed the Honor 7 with the last H7 Premium.

I would definitely be calling your service provider...sounds like tower issues or may even be a faulty or corrupted sim card.

No, unfortunately it is a device problem, Honor service answered me that it is an hardware problem, but I can wait for repair it, so I have got a new H7 Premium and the hold now is the new device of my wife, she doesn't need 4G, by the way if I choose 2/3/4 G the phone if is in 4G often don't have connection, so I put it only in 2/3 G and work fine...
So u got it repaired ?

Hi everyone
I am in the UK and bought the Note 4 Global version, as in the UK my provider uses Band 20
I am on Tesco, which piggy-backs the O2 network
However, on inserting the sim I receive the No Network error.
Tesco give me the usual "we don't sell those handsets so we can't provide technical support blah blah" "It must be locked blah blah"
The sim is fine as it was in his iPhone 5 (and still is because this won't connect to Tesco)
The Mobile Networks setting has been changed to what was on the previous phone, but with no joy.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks in advance
Edit for stupidity:
Android 7.0 NRD90M
MIUI ver 9.0.5.0
Have you tried any other sim card in the phone? You can get one of those cheapie PAYG sims (for example, EE) from Tesco or your corner shop and see whether it has the same problem (which might point to a hardware issue or something funny going on with your ROM). I am not sure why you would have had to change the mobile networks setting. That should not be necessary at all.

Forgot to mention this is my son's phone.
I have an EE pay monthly sim. Tried that. Same thing. No Network.
Irony in the fact that it says TESCO 4G in the top band by the clock when he puts his sim in the Note 4 and 2 bars on connection.
Cannot ring out and cannot accept a call

Silly question, are you sure it's global version? A lot of "global" word from Chinese phones.

Ok, it definitely should work with EE, and so this is clearly not a Tesco mobile problem. Either the hardware is faulty or the ROM (particularly the modem drivers) is faulty. You might want to return the phone.

It looks like the same issue (on a different Xiaomi phone). The solution is probably the same - flashing the appropriate modem (firmware) files, or flashing a new complete ROM. I wasn't sure you wanted to go down that route, as it would give the vendor an escape route if something goes awry, or if the process doesn't solve the problem.

His is a 6GB Tesco 4G and mine is a 40GB Virgin/EE 4G
His sim states Tesco 4G in top right, my EE states No Service.
LTE Discovery. What am I looking for in there?
In the Sim 1 section it says:
Band 20
GCI: 00144E78
PCI: 71
TAC: 16624
-110dBm
On Signals it says EARCFN (LTE Band 20)
Just been through my email confirmation and this is the one they sent me
https://www.geekbuying.com/item/Off...Note-4-4G-64GB-Smartphone---Black-379093.html
Now forgive me if I'm wrong but that says HK Stock Global
What's the difference between that and the Global Rom?
Darth, am I going down the flashing routine? Not bothered if I am as long as it works
Jesus H, it seems everything I buy I have to reflash these days.

If the phone sees the signal and it does detect 4g ,than the phone is ok.
The problem is that 110db . That's practically dead zone. I would say your location is the problem. I know you said that Samsung has 2 bars but this is crappy phone .
Just to be sure, can you check in a a place with strong 4g signal?

Believe it or not, Tesco has really strong 4G in my village. Never a problem on that carrier
EE however is ****. I have "H" on their network and -123 dBm
But I don't use my data at home
My main problem lies with the calls and texts not being able to be connected
It seems I have been sent a HK Global Rom? This has Band 20
Is this an issue? I am in the UK. Should I have been sent a Global Rom? But this doesn't have Band 20
Is it the modem driver issue as stated earlier?

It seems that you will have to go down that route, unless you return the phone. Whether it works or not will depend on whether it is a hardware problem or just a ROM/firmware problem.
By the way, there is a firmware repository here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73534612&postcount=89
This requires you to have TWRP recovery.

Fired an email of to Geekbuying
See if they want me to send it back or give permission to add the modem drivers with warranty intact
Just noticed that with WIFI on it says I have Tesco 4G. When I turn WIFI off I have no service.
Bizarrely, after reading, this has been going on since the Note 3
Strangely, the phone is giving 4 bars for connectivity for calls. Yet you just try and a make a call

These things are often a hit-and-miss affair, especially when buying from outside the EU. I bought mine (two) from eBay (UK and Ireland based sellers) - much easier to get refunds via PayPal (and more likely to get a proper Global ROM). But it is possible that your problem will be fixed by flashing the latest global stable ROM.
Update
Took it to the Tesco Phone Shop this morning and they couldn't get any of their settings to work. Consistently No Network. Wouldn't even connect to the Tesco guy's Vodafone sim.
Tried a Virgin sim and it wouldn't connect either
Guessing something wrong with the global rom now?
As with Note 3, MIUI 8 and the missing modem drivers?
Sparked an email back to Geekbuying to see what they can do
Thanks all

Possibly - but there is also a possibility that it is a hardware problem. That will only become clear after successfully flashing a complete ROM (global or otherwise). Whether the ROM is global or China should not have any effect on connecting to a phone network (especially EE).
Which version of MIUI are you on? Try updating of there is an update available and see if that helps.
Has anyone activated through ESim on Verizon? If you have how easy is it to get it done? I was reading on their site saying Android users should call in to activate the E Sim
First off, screaming with caps on isn't necessary. Secondly I have tmobile and can't get any esim to activate on any network. I've been on support from tmobile, google fi, and samsung and all they tell me is to do a factory reset and I really just don't want to do that. I even did a network reset that didn't help.

@antawnm26 I'm using a physical sim on tmobile which is far from having a paperweight. @cledee I ordered it from Samsung fully unlocked and activated service through tmobile and want to use googlefi as an esim but so far the only answer I get is to fully factory reset and I honestly don't care enough to do that because I finally got everything the way I want.

are you sure you ordered the unlocked version? they were selling the tmobile version directly on the Samsung page as well and it might have sim locked you once you activated.
try a different physical sim if you have one to see if it's locked.

Definitely unlocked. I've used my friends boost sim to verify that after I activated it on tmobile because I didn't want tmobile locking it.

When I moved from my Z Fold 3 (I am on T-Mobile) to my S23U, I moved the physical SIM. Once I set up my S23U, I went through the prompts on my phone to convert from SIM to eSIM, everything went smoothly.
My wife's S22U, I followed the same prompts and the swap was quick and easy.

Tried that multiple times with tmobile support and in store a couple times and every time resulted in no esim and a dead disabled physical sim that had to be replaced. And every time I would do a full network reset and no change. Its literally come down to me doing a factory reset and if that doesn't work samsung has said they'd have to replace my device.

Damn, rough. Well, good luck to you. I am not sure what a factory reset will accomplish as I don't think doing that does anything with the eSIM, but hey, if it does not work, at least they will replace it and try and make it right.
I have Google Fi and eSIM doesn't seem to work reliably. I followed one of the instructions out there for iPhone. At first I thought it all worked out well since you first need to be on WiFi to make that work. But once I went outside of the Wi-Fi zone, I lost the cellular data. Even the Google Fi app was complaining about no data. So that was that. I would also lose the signal all together. I have Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel 6 on Google Fi and the eSIM on Pixel phones work without any issues. As far as iPhone is concerned, Google have put steps laid out for that device but it'll only connect to one network and it'll not switch between other network as it does with Pixel ot Samsung's.

Everything else has been thoroughly tested (or at least everything I intend on using) and works perfectly so it's not a big deal to me. If other stuff wasn't working right I'd do it, but right now the inconvenience of not having esim doesn't overcome the inconvenience of reseting a device PLUS most likely having to do it again on a replacement....
I have a Verizon Test Drive eSIM that works, a T-Mobile Test Drive eSIM that works, a Tello (T-Mobile) eSIM that works, and an AT&T Prepaid eSIM that works as well as a physical Boost Infinite SIM (using AT&T).
