Hi i have a Hermes phone i bought off ebay approximatley 3/4 weeks ago.I have put my sim card in from my contract phone and been using it. I upgraded it to the Schaps newest rom and it has worked brilliantly untill now. Recently i have been unable to accept or make calls/texts or recieve them. When i try to ring it just does that annoying beep thing from the phone speaker. When i try to call it it said Calls are not currently beeing connected to this phone. I have looked and the only thing that google says it could be is that the phone is barred. Is this true? What can i do next? Help please..
Thanks in advance

This happens to me after switching the telefon mode from off to on. the phone itself needs some time until its "ready for use".
Another possible issue is one using a 3G sim card in a 2G phone. has happened to me with a prophet. Changed to an old sim card and it worked perfectly. Try changing the sim card to a known 2G and see what happens.
Just switched off the phone in the comm manager (it is an option available to facilitate the PDA usage during the flight journey).
Now my phone is fine and working.
Thanks,

Phone not ready
Hi all......
Im a first time poster.....
I have an Imate Jasjam.....
I recently upgraded the ROM and ever since, i keep getting the phone not ready and no matter what i have read in these posts i cant get it to work.....
I have even gone as far as starting over from the original ROM and now the original ROM shows the same problem.
Its really annoying not beingn able to reply to msgs im getting and even worse, not being able to modify the setting in my phone to disable call forwarding to my voicemail.
I have the FCW Home HD ROM installed and have tried upgrading the radio, but fail everytime.... im guessin im using th ewrong one so if anyone knows an up to date radio i can install it would be good....
Please help !
I think you are posting in the ROM forum. Are you sure you have a Charmer cause I don't know the ROM you tell us.
Dear friends I have this wizard I"ve bought fro some friend in israel.
It works well with one company (Cellcom) and this is after i"ve made Lockwiz.
BUT wit orange it doesn't make any calls... as I try to make any phone call it says "call ended" and I can't make any calls.
I think it has to be someyhing with the IMEI number?
Please help me - this is a great forum an this is the first time I can't find a answer in it.
Thanks to all helpers
it happened to me before
i had a wizard that did the same thing, wont make calls, and when i received any, i wouldnt hear anybody on the other side.
i easily solved it reinstalling a new radio rom.
and i worked ever since.
try it

It's true. Try to change radio rom.
it's not about the IMEI... i'm in Orange and i have a friend in cellcom who has a wizard.. he had this problem and just switched roms till it worked.. i dunno which rom it was... but you should try switching..

Your phone is blocked by the operator. Whoever sold you had it on contract and has either stopped paying the bill or has reported the phone lost or stolen. Orange sims will work for a very short time when they are first put into the hermes until the network picks up it is blocked. If you want proof just put the orange sim in a phone that works fine and make a couple of calls and then take it out and put it in the hermes and power it up and you will get a signal and it will work for a while then it will switch off again.
I would contact ebay and report him and if you paid by paypal i would contact them too. Well unless he stated that the phone was blocked already, in which case you havent got a leg to stand on.
If you are in the uk you can check if the imei is blocked by dialing this number, just follow the prompts and enter the imei when it asks, the number is 07956125820. Its a tmobile number for checking imei's out
When i bought this phone was difrent rom i change it for oragne now. i will make a movie whats problems i got with phone and i will put links on youtube in here i think u know what you doing. so if u got time help me.
Don't change anything.... Reread scousemartin's post, he already told you whats wrong. If you play around with it you aren't gonna get anywhere and its just gonna be a headache if you bought it off ebay. As its been modified by you, the seller will say YOU caused the problem so its NOT HIS/HER fault and you will be out of pocket with a useless phone.....
Hey i tryied to call this number but i got signal but no boady anwser. I will go to oragne or carphonewarehouse.
that number works, try calling it on a phone that isnt the one thats blocked
going to orange or the car phone warehouse wont be of any use as they are going to say exactly what i have told you, you have been ripped off by somebody on ebay. Why dont you just contact ebay and tell them they have sold you a phone thats been blocked in fact if it was me, i would post there ebay username all over the net
I bought a used phone from internet website, its worked great and it was locked on T-mobile UK. I got it unlocked from fastgsm and used my tesco sim with the phone.
The phone worked great for couple of days and on the third day it worked upto 11am (that is when i made the last call on the phone) and after that i am getting 00:00 Ended every time i press call even to voice mail.
it does not call anyone no texts either and when someone calls me it says the phone is switched off.
Steps i have taken to fix the issue:
I have swapped different sim cards.
i reset my phone through settings and diagnosis code.
I have updated the firmware to the 7740
I have installed a new unbranded UK retail firmware. its still running this firmware.
I have checked if the imei is blocked or stolen or something on a few websites nothing came up.
I have searched XDA to see if someone else has this problem and there are quite a few people here with the same problem but no solution.
I need help i have no idea what to do next
everything else on the phone works great no problems wlan connection keeps it connected and all the other features are fine its just the phone calls and text msgs which i cannot send or receive.
i have tested my sim on other phone it seems to be fine.
Please help i am not sure what to do next.
thank you and regards
Call Samsung support.
I've got a very similar problem - I can access the internet with my SIM but I can't make a call or send a text.
Omnia 7 - originally on orange but unlocked.
Any help appreciated.
ok then xda cant help me with this problem lets see if samsung support can do something about it. i have called them and i am taking the phone to their service center.
wish me luck i will report back if there is any news for other people with similar problem.
I have the same problem. Ive done almost all the steps as you have. Im beginning to think that its a hardware related problem. Maybe the sim-reader.. Well, i bought another phone but I hope to fix it anyway. I'll be back to check your progress in the matter.. gl
I can also contribute that I did the unlock via fastgsm.. (without any errors) And that may be the cause. But 1 thing is different though, I could never make any calls at all. You said that u were making calls.. I had a very long email conversation with fastgsm that ended with him not responding to me at all. But that was some time ago and I deleted the emails.. Not that I think it would help. Now I use the phone as a surfing pad (wifi/data ok) its sad really... lol
That's a terrible problem, I feel for you guys.
Definitely get it contact with your provider or SAMSUNG to get a replacement.
I can't think of any settings which you could change other than the obvious ones.
hi,
I have a intermittent problem with incoming calls.
I takes my son a least 3 times to get though.
Its either engaged
rings twice and goes to answer phone
rings once then enaged
or says 'this number is unavailable'
I'm with virgin,
phoned them numerous times and they have altered the voice mail ring times and things, then decided it was the sim card.
New sim card came but was exactly the same, so more codes entered for virgin, then decide it was the phone.
Phone came back after 2 weeks saying its fix and updated but was exactly the same.
Phoned virgin again they said its not the phone or the network? so I dont know what to do.
While my phone was away being "repaired" I bought a cheap £15 phone from tesco and put my sim in it and it worked fine. Maybe its because its a simpler technology.
Any help would be appreciated
