HTC Magic signal problem - MONEY IN IT! - myTouch 3G, Magic General

Hey there, i have a problem with my HTC Magic. I have had it in about 2 months, where it worked fine. Suddenly it couldn't get a signal to a network. When i try to connect to my network it says "Your sim-card dosen't allow a connection to this network" can anyone help me out with this? I've got HTC Sense on my mobile.
If someone can solve this problem, im willing to give them some money.

have you tried to get a secound SIM card and try from your operator ?

Just try Master reset...
Thats how I fixed my HTC magic...

tried both things

Did you contact your provider ? Sounds like a bad sim or a mistaken imei lock from them. Call them up its gonna save you time and frustration.

I had this issue after owning my Magic for only a month. Hitting Search Networks would bring up the 'Searching' text and the little loading circle, which would freeze after about 5 seconds and eventually come up with 'Error while searching for networks', and the Select Automatically option would just end up with 'Your sim-card does not allow a connection to the network' with any of 3 sims I tried.
Basically I sent it in for repairs. Took a month as the pcb was faulty and they had to wait for parts but it was all fixed, they just gave me the added bonus of a perfect spl along with the bad attitude I got when I called to check up on it after 2 weeks.
You're gonna need to get it repaired.

Unable to make or receive calls

I wonder if anyone can help with a fault on my M3100. So far I've searched this website for answers with no luck. I have Hard Reset the phone, upgraded the Radio, all without any luck.
About 6 days ago my M3100 suddenly stopped being able to make or receive calls. Whenever I try to dial out the call drops out before being established, and if I try to call in to the phone the caller receives a series of beeps.
At first it seems to be a SIM problem, but the Vodaphone SIM is fine in any other phone. If I put my Orange SIM in the phone it just comes up as "No Service".
I'm at the end of the line in what to do and it doesn't seems to make any sense.
Any comments, suggestions, advice or help very much appreciated.
..... Further symptom details:
I can send and receive text message with my Vodaphone SIM installed and access WiFi and GPRS networks. Orange SIM won't connect at all! Both SIMS work fine in a standard phone ! Only clue I can think of here is that the Vodaphone SIM is UMPTS and GSM where the Orange is GSM only. The spare phone I tested them in was GSM only.
Could the GSM part of the M3100 be stuffed ?
I'm stumped for the time being!! It doesn't seem to make any logical sense. Maybe any of you who know the in's and out's of how the device communicates might find some clues in that...
Heeeeelp !
More details..
I've just added a few more details on the symtoms.. maybe the few extra clues might yeild some thoughts from someone !
Have you checked the band selection in Settings > Phone?
Is it possible that the phone could have become blacklisted? How long have you had it? How did you buy it? (This is probably NOT it, since the text still works.)
Have you tried a tweaker to enable HSPDA?
Had the phone for over 12 months so Blacklisted shouldn't be the issue. I've tried all the band selections including Auto but no luck.
Haven't tried the Tweaker... do you have any details on that...
Up until it suddenly stopped working it worked on all networks..
Another possible clue is that I was "Roaming" in France for a month and it was there that I made my last successful call. I have UK SIMS... I have an Australian SIM which I'll try now to see if that makes any difference..
Tried an Australian SIM roaming in the UK ! The service connects on two available networks,Vodaphone and TMobile but not on Orange and O2 (like with the Orange UK SIM). Same fault as the before with the networks it will connect to.
This seems to eliminate the SIM or Network being the fault and isolate the fault to the Device...
probably not the issues, but worth a try?
I live in a very strong 3G + HSPDA ares, but cant make or recieve anycalls tho texts work on T-mobile, i need to have my phone in 2G mode, and calls work fine???
If i leave my house and go a few miles 3G works as it should able to call and recieve etc!
Can't seem to work out how to force the phone onto 2G or 3G ... if anyone can advise I'll give that a try!
I have had very similar problems to this.
Please see my post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325149
I do think this is some sort of network problem as after I posted the issues in the thread above, I left home and travelled about 6 miles and the signal came back and the phone worked fine.
Today, I have been able to make and receice calls but all of a sudden I got cut off from a call then could not make or receive calls (incoming goes straight to voicemail).
I can however use my Orange SIM without problem and both Vodafone and Orange SIMs work fine in other phones.

You can also go into Settings > Phone > Band.
If the band tab does not appear (to the right of the network tab), then you may need to do a registry tweak.
From the very helpful wiki:
Enable/Disable GSM/UMTS Band Selection
Cingular kindly disables anything useful about the network on the 8525. To enable the Band Selection Tab on your Phone settings page, set the following:
[\HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\]
"ShowUMTSBandPage"=dword:00000001
To disable, simply clear the value to 0:
[\HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\]
"ShowUMTSBandPage"=dword:00000000

Have travelled outside England again this week and... well the phone works fine roaming on my UK Vodaphone SIM. Seems very ODD.. only thing I can put any logic to is a problem with the GSM part of the phone. It's working here in Stockholm on the 3G network no problem.
Anyone advise how I force the phone to be on GSM and 3G so I can test this theory. The BAND settings under SETTINGS>PHONE don't seem to give you this control over how it connects..
Hey i got the same problem anyone solved it yet!
Hi Sunnyb1
Since my last post I returned to England where the phone was useless. No SIM cards would work, some would not register at all but my Vodaphone SIM seemed to register but as before it would not receive calls, nor could I make calls out.
Now I'm in Australia with an Australian SIM card. NO PROBLEMS AT ALL !!
The phone works just fine !!
It's a mystery indeed...
Without any knowledge of the ins & Outs of how a SIM card / Network / and the phone work together it's impossible for me to arrive at any conclusive logic.
Hopefully someone might stand up to the plate and offer some explanation !
Anyone from HTC out there ??????

I got the phone and it was working perfectly on Orange then i tried unlocking it and ever since it has come up with "NO Service" like you everytime i put a Orange Sim in the phone it does not show up.. but when i put a Vodafone sim it works perfectly i tried reflashing the radio's many times
I unlocked this particular phone 6months before this problem showed up so I don't think the Unlock on it's own is the cause. What's particularly baffling is that a SIM may not work with the phone in one country.. but in another it works fine.
..... another country that is !
Hey Steve i have found out what the problem is after hours of research
I found this of another website
Orange & O2:
If you place an active orange or
O2 sim into a blacklisted handset you
phone will not show any signal strength
at all! If the handset is a Nokia then a
"SIM card registration failed" message
will also be displayed. If your handset is an
Ericsson then an "Invalid Mobile" message
will be displayed. For most other manufacturers
the handset will simply show no signal!
Vodafone & T-Mobile
If you place an active Vodafone or T-Mobile sim into a blacklisted handset, the phone will appear to function perfectly UNTIL you try to make an outgoing call. When you try to call out from the handset you will hear a sequence of beeps and then the call will be dropped!!
........
This means the handset you got is stolen or someone has blacklisted it ... i got mine of EBAY! and reading that i figured that it is stolen
It wont work in the UK but it will work everywhere else in the world
Mmmm... that's interesting Sunnyb1. If my phone is blacklisted then happened in JULY this year which was 8 months after I bought the phone. I bought the phone legit .
Can anyone advise what the "Blacklisting" process is.. I assume its done by using the IMEI number.
Who is the rightful owner of a handset and can any phone be blacklisted by anyone, and possibly by mistake ?
Would unlocking the phone from Orange cause a phone to be blacklisted ??
How can you "Un-blacklist" a phone.
Answered my own question here......
This website seems to have the answers
http://www.unlockme.co.uk/blacklist.html
OK... still on this thread. Can anyone advise how you find out which network in the UK has blocked your an IMEI number. I gather any of the UK networks can block any IMEI and it's not unknown for errors to be made. But only the network that blocks the IMEI can Unblock it.
Thought I'd post this before waiting forever for some call centre dimwit to give me the runaround.
Thanks...

Have i bought a stolen Trinity?

First of all, this is my first post and I would like to excuse my bad english ^^
Okey, so here's my situation. I bought a phone over the Internet from a private seller who claimed she did'nt know wether the phone was SIM-locked or not. She also claimed that she had used two sorts of SIM cards, with two different operators.
So, I tried with my card. It says (i have in Swedish, so i'll translate as good as I can) "No service". So I went in to Settings -> Network and at the top it says "Current Network: No Service" . I have tried everything in those menues, like choose network manually and such. Everything comes down to the same, No service at the little icon at the top screen.
So, I runned the Unlock-service that I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293957. I did it step by step and it worked perfectly, except one thing; my problem stands.
So what should I do? Have i missed something? If the phone shows to be stolen, I think it's weird that I even got into the phone. I can use Wi-Fi and such, that works properly. Activesync, no problem at all.
What should I do?! Please, please help me!
Call the police.
Find out from a phone company if the IMEI is blocked.
Not a lot you can do but Call the authorities and get them to deal with it.
If the phone is reported stolen it wont stop the phone working as a PDA, it will just block it's usage as a phone.
Ebay has a link to check stolen phon (before you buy) - http://www.checkmend.com/uk/ - You need the IEMI number use *#06# to get it. The service isnt free, but is recommended by the Met Office.
eventually this helps you:
i've had a trinity in "active service" for about one year,
and i've noticed the following:
everytime i used a sim card which i had never used before
in the trinity, it tooks minutes to get the "no service" away.
after the fist initialisation of the new sim, every further
turning on the device (till i get a service) was much
faster.
so let the phone at least 10min with your sim, if you
would still no service, then you should check your imei.
and: sometimes you have to click on the "services" tab
in the title bar to get to the pin verification. for some
reason sometimes that did'nt come automatically frontwards
for me...
good luck & regards,
markus
i would check via the ebay link, if that comes up ok just reflash the phone with an radio and see if that works. If the imei is ok and the flash with the radio doesn't fix it then you might have a hardware issue.
Problem solved! I tried with yet another operator, and it worked! So the problem is locked. I'm going to the store tomorrow to lock it up. Hopefully that will do the trick. Thank's guys!
why go to a shop to unlock it when you can get it done for free on here
http://pof.eslack.org/trinity-unlocker/
I can't get that thing to work. It says "No service" with my SIM! I have posted in the thread for it but noone answers. Could someone help me?

Please Help! Problem with signal!

So okay, I've posted this topic earlier but forgot it and stuff so here's the problem:
I have a HTC P4350, with provider KPN (Netherlands). I've never had any problems at all, but when I tried to 'pimp' my phone a bit, it went wrong. I had to do a Hard-Reset on it, but when I did this, my phone isn't having a good signal!
So usually you have the 3-4 bars at your connection logo, but even when I'm outside sometimes, it won't find a signal and there will be the 'No Connection' error. I cant make a call/ be called or send a message/receive messages.
Please help me.

Try another radio mate, you can find a lot in the Wiki depending on your device and actual ROM, I had similar problems and after testing 5 different radios finally found the more suitable to me
Hope this helps

WHICH RADIO DO I NEEDD!
I LIVE IN EUROPE, THE NETHERLANDS..
this is soo annoying.
Same problem
Hello
I have this same problem with my XDA Zinc. Yesterday something happened to my PDA and since then its not showing up any network service.
Though all the other "wireless" features are working, this one alone is screwed up.
It searches for network and then says No service or Unavailable.
I tried phone settings -> changing the Network from Automatic to Manual, but then says it cannot read the network settings. I also tried "Set network" , but same error.
I am staying in switzerland and i have a mobile connection called Lebara.
Four months back, when i bought this connection, i had the same problem, but i did something and fixed it. (As far as i remember i fiddled with the Set Network, and it showed me list of all networks from all the countries, and i checked my service provider, and it worked). after that i never had any problems, until yesterday afternoon.
I put my sim card in another mobile phone and it worked. i tried soft reset and even hard reset, but all in vain.
One doubt i have about the hard reset, : It displays a screen with DOS like fonts and when i give hard reset, it restarts. But i have all my data (softwares and contacts intact.) did it really do hard reset?? If not how do i do that?
Also can you give me links for latest ROM updates, I am just wondering if a ROM update would fix this up. i have windows mobile 6.0.. Any "official" updates after that for XDA Zinc??
Please help me as i get very important calls , and i am completely paralyzed since morning.
Ok.. I am not sure if this is the problem , or if doing something with, my problem would be solved..
I went to O2 Autoconfig, and there It says ,
Current Network: 3 Australia
Detected Network: Lebara
And in Preferred Network,
Country: Australia,
Operator: 3 Australia
The country does not have Switzerland..
Though my network is Lebara, and it shows detected network as same.. Does it mean that it "knows" its Lebara, but due to some reason its not connecting.. , or is it that it is the "history" of my last connection..??
I am not sure, but if i can add "Switzerland" inside country list, then i may be able to solve this problem. (am i correct? )
If so, how do i do that..??
ok..
Now that nothing is working , i am getting F****** frustrated.. I tried Schap's Setup operator. http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2008/01/29/schaps-setup-operator-v03.html
However it does not show my service provider for my country (Switzerland)..
I put an orange sim card (since it had orange in the list).. I tried this again with this new orange sim card.. but that also didnt work..
Can anyone help me out PLEASE????????????????????????????
i need help ASAP... PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEe

"Not registered on network" "No Service"

Ok got this phone but it wont ring or recive calls ! .
After putting in my SIM card, entering my PIN code it still says no service. When you try and make a call it says "Not registered on network".
It was on T Mobile which I have had it unlocked via eBay. I got past the Google registration page by entering APN settings for my SIM card (O2).
Now I can user the browser and market etc but no calls.
I have done everything in THIS thread and think I have flashed it with
JFv1.43 RC9. (When I say think it seemed to flash but I cant see any difference so not sure if it worked).
Does anyone know how I can get the phone to work?
Thanks for your time
i have been in this same situation for about 3 weeks and after spending countless hours on phone and at store with tmobile 3 replacement phone 5 sim cards and a new number they close my account and reopened it this was just tonight so i am testing it out so far i have lost servie twice within 3 hours restarted my phone both times and regained service so im not sure if it is completely fixd just yet
Its really annoying such a simple thing. When I try to manually select teh operator in settings it says "Your SIM dosnt allow connections to this network".
I tried an orange SIM card and for some reason it puts the phone in airoplane mode and wont come out :s
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Anyone got any ideas on what could be causing this ?
Thanks
same boat
man I'm telling you that's been happening to me. except I upgrade to ION and then reverted back to haykuro's 6.0r1. everythig that;s happened to this guy has been affecting me
No service
I also have a problem with my G1. Bought it from my local polish netwerk (Era) and the phone works OK however, from time to time it looses the connection to network and it needs a reset in order to login to network again. Don't remember if it happened before they released the software which supported polish language. So what do you recon is it a hardware problem or did those useless local IT guys screwed sth up while translating android??
hi i have he same problem stuck in airoplane mode and no service has anyone found a fix yet????
I´m yet another user with the same problem. For a few hours yesterday I suddenly had service, but it stopped working in the evening again.
Any solution?
A similar problem. Tell me what to do. Thank you.

[Network] loss of connection on Orange Network, need help

Hi there,
I am confronted with a big issue which affects my ability to place or even receive calls: I cannot connect my HTC HD on the Orange Network anymore.
Two weeks ago I was on the road using TomTom and suddenly Windows Mobile told me that the distant server was disconnected and that I was not connect to the network anymore. Each time I am trying to get a connection, I can see that the mobile detects a network, tries to register (I even can see the Edge icon and some network bars) but always fall back to the 'not connected' icon.
The weird thing is that the mobile detects all the networks it is intended to: Orange, Bouygues and SFR (the three main operators).
Since that day, I have tried everything to re connect the mobile on Orange network but nothing was successfull:
- many and many reboots of the mobile,
- I have suppressed the Orange network connection in the connection wizard and then re created it.
- I have switched the network connection to manual and tried to connect manually: as for auto mode, it displays the following message:
"cannot connect to the selected network. Choose another network or stop you data connection and try again"
- I have switched the band mode from auto to "GSM (900+1800)"
- I have done hard resets
- I have changed the ROM two times: the first one for an up to date Mia and the second time for a Rhodyum 1.1 (the one I am using now).
- I have called the hotline to check if the problem is coming from their devices ; apparently not the case
- I have put my SIM card on another mobile and its working. A different SIM on my HD is not working. I even have changed my SIM card !
I am really desperate now because I do not know where the problem could come from. Should I do something else ? How can I be sure that it comes from my mobile ?
Thank you for your help
Yesterday evening, I have tried to restore stock SPL1.14; It did not work either
Nobody can help me or just give me clues to solve the issue ?
What is your SN? Is a 84x? See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476139 could be an RMA candidate, read the thred
OK, here's the short answer:
your phone's a nicked device and it's on the IMEI blacklist.
the other possibility is that the contract didn't get paid off so the provider blocked it because of that.
I'm generally always right on this - go get a CheckMEND report from here: http://www.checkmend.com/uk/public/check_start
Your IMEI goes in the Identifier box.
I appear to be having the same problem, I checked via that site and it didnt flag anything up, it was all clean. The problem started yesterday afternoon.

the problem is if this "legitimate" ebay seller, sold it to you before the contract was paid to orange, legally the phone belongs to orange, therefore you've bought stolen goods. Hope you used Paypal, they might offer some protection.
