Hey guys,
Needing help here. Sister has one of these on TIM (she lives in Italy). When she was over in UK I was tinkering about and using mobile internet (non-wifi). The problem is though that when she has pt her own sim back in it has stayed on and now she has ran up a €400 phone bill due to her being constantly online. As I don't have the phone in front and my own phone runs windows mobile I haven't got a clue how to get her to permanently disconnect it.
Can anyone tell me how so I can phone her with the instructions?
Many thanks in advance

You can use an app such as APNDroid to enable/disable the APN she has configured. Or, she can use Wisync (or Wisync plus) to do the same.
Or she can go to Settings/WirelessControls/MobileNetworks and append "xxx" to the name of the APN that is active.
Thanks...Will call her just now
Has anyone had problems with this. No matter what rom, rooted or stock, my phone says "limited service" "emergency calls only". Both Tmo and Htc said send it in. Thought I would ask around first.
I had it rooted running Iced Glacier and all of the sudden, my phone says "limited service" and i dont have anything. No data or voice. My SIM card works fine in any of my old phones, just not this one. I have tried to unroot and root again, using all different roms, and yet still nothing.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? or what it could be? I want to send it in under warranty, except it was rooted and Im nervous they will be able to tell. (i have another post on how to unroot completely with no trace; here)
Yeah, I get that limited service when the phone switches from 4g to 3g and back. Frustrating to say the least.

it seems as if your phone is now SIM locked, but not to TMO. Try booting into hboot and choose sim unlock function there - this is how I unlocked my phone.
Thanks for the reply, but did you need an unlock code or file to unlock your phone? It is looking on my sd card for two files that I don't have...

Maybe your SIM died. Mine did last year with the same symptoms and a new SIM fixed the problem.

do you have s-off using gfree? (sticky in the dev forum). If you did, in hboot you should see an option to sim unlock the device. If you didn't do gfree yet, do it now and try.
Thanks...
And does that unlock for good? Or until you revert and unroot?

It is unlocked for good unless you re-flash the part7* backup file gfree creates.
i get signal issues but only when coming in from the everglades which i chalk up to the phone looking for a strong tower in the area
Happened to me last week sim card was dead. Go to tmobile and they will replace it.

i am having the same issue. i am using simple mobile so i dont really need to unlock the phone to use it, the first day i got the phone i read the sim card without any problems, it was working fine for like 5 mins and then i got the limited service message. i unlocked the phone with a tmobile code. no luck. i went into the apn settings try changing the settings and it worked once but it doesnt work anymore, one thing i noticed i was able to switch from gsm/wcdma auto to gsm only but it doesnt do it anymore. i just wanted to know if u guys fixed this problem or if i should just send it to htc, i havent rooted my phone. would i have to pay any fee? am still under the warranty program.
hi i have a rooted mytouch 4G..for some odd reason it wont read my sim card or even identify if their is one.i cant even get a 3g or 4g symbol. I have flashed rom after rom and im using a new radio 26.03.00.04..and i flashed another radio prior to that...could it be sim locked? or has the antenna died or idk..please any help will do thanks
Does it say Emergency Calls Only or No Service in the notification bar? Or does it show T-Mobile, and you have no bars?

You are combining numerous issues into one. The SD, radio, and ROM are all separate issues.
I would check the SD card and see if its still good. Second, I would check your APN settings. Some ROMs do not come with them installed and you have to manually input them.
If all else fails, flash a new ROM and try that.

Dear experts,
I just bought the Mytouch 4G off Ebay for my wife's birthday (unlocked so no contract). I have rooted an LG Optimus T before so I thought I could do the same to this phone. My only problem is that I did not have a sim card in hand so I rooted and upgraded the Royal Ginger Rom without the sim card. Now my phone is working perfectly but there is an error of "no sim card, emergency calls only," even after I insert a sim card that works with another phone. I am running out of ideas, the only thing to try is to somehow load the factory default which I did not back up. At the moment with gfree, s=off, please help :-(...
Two questions... Are you inserting the sim card as the symbol where u insert it shows? Second, is the sim card activated with a carrier?

Hi UK Note users with T-mobile,
I don't know whether you also have the same problem: the note can receive SMS but cannot send SMS when it is in T-mobile orange signal, I wil have to manually change it back to t-mobile before SMS can be sent. Could please somebody offer a solution for this isssue/bug? Thanks in advance.
Mine has been fine on several stock roms. My phone came sim free. Is yours locked and are you using stock radio etc?

I have a similar problem. SMS says its sent but there is a spinning circle next to the message. The recipient gets some messages but others turn up later. Having read the T-Mobile help pages, I think you have to turn on data roaming. This is what I am going to turn today. But remember to turn it off if you go abroad.

Thanks for your reply. The phone is originally from O2 monthly tariff (unlocked). I simply use my t-mobile SIM card. The current Android version is 2.3.6, firmware version is 2.6.35.7-N7000xxkka, it is rooted. I am using handcent SMS app but the stock SMS app has the same problem. The data roaming is ON already.
Thanks for your reply, it is with official rom, rooted. Problem still exist.
Still doing the same thing, says sent but icon spinning when connected to T-Mobile Orange. It re sends later once its back on the T-Mobile only signal. so the person gets 2 sms messages :-(
Don't want to step too far out of my knowledge here but not had a problem at all on the sim free version, but worth installing the Carphone Warehouse rom from development?

No problems here.
This will sound stupid but try outting in another network sim. Booting up and installing the seyting from that network. Then outting your tmob sim back in and reinstalling the settings.
Works to solve quite a few probs on samsung ohones

I'm on T-Mobile here and not noticed any issues as it switches between it and Orange. I use Go SMS, everything works fine for me, but round here the T-Mobile signal is generally pretty good.

Me too I'm on T-Mobile and mostly use T-Mobile-Orange Signal as we have orange transmitters in place at work.
Never had an issue at all..
I too use Go SMS though...
Try that maybe.
Have you tried to re-set your SMSC? (SMS Message Center)
Couldn't find anymore the thread on XDA explaining it, but found this link : http://blog.empirion.co.uk/android/setting-the-smsc-sms-message-centre-in-android-ics/
Give it a try
Have you tried t-mobile page for sending settings to your phone?
http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/help-and-support/index?page=home&cat=SOFTWAREDOWNLOADS
Worked for me on another phone where i needed internet settings.
On the note i have used many ICS roms recently and never had issue with sending sms.
I think mine is fixed, following the advice above, I swapped out my sim for a Vodafone one, then after it booted, switched off and put my T-Mobile sim back in, now sending once only.
Solved!

Its Smspopup causing the problem for me. Disabled and all is well.
Mine is an O2 contract Note that came unlocked and unbranded. I'm almost constantly on T-Mobile-Orange (much to my annoyance) but I never have any issues sending SMS. I currently use Chomp SMS but I've also used stock and GoSMS with the same success. Is your SIM card particularly old? That's the only thing I can think might be the problem unless there's some weird fault with your phone but it seems unlikely. The only other thing is that perhaps there's a fact with the Orange transmitter in your area. Does the problem occur elsewhere?

It is possible that the problem is caused by the 'old sim card'. The sim card is originally a 3 UK PAYG one and I just port the number. I shall discuss this issue with T-mobile and to see if they can issue me a new SIM card.
So I bought this phone like 2 years ago and at first it worked perfectly fine.. as I went along with my life one day it suddenly says I'm not registered in the network.. so I search the internet and everyone says the same thing settings register in network bladibla etc so everything you can try by searching on google I have tried and for the life of me this phone doesn't want to work.. as long as I'm living in France, when I go out of France it works flawlessly.. so far Spain and Austria no problem whatsoever. But upon getting back to France good old not registered and when I register it doesn't matter cause I'm still not really registered as when I try to make a call it reminds me.. the data works.. so that's beyond confusing why do I have internet but I can't use a phone for what it was meant to be in the first place... making a phone call.. So on with the ramble, the IMEI is fine its the same as on the box and it shows me that in the phone also, the SIM is properly inserted.. the 5th or so I've tried to see if the phone feels like "fixing" randomly but nope. So internet.. what's up with my phone.. why does it work in Spain and Austria and probably any other country just not the one I live in... unfortunately.
Hello sheck your imei in deferent website! i think your note 4 is black listed in France but it's working outside!!!
Do you remember from were you bought it???

Hey, I didn't check the IMEI on any website but in the phone it shows me the same one that's on the box and under the battery so I assume that's fine.. and I bought it from a store. How do I check if its blacklisted in France? because when I got it it was working fine for a while and as I said I've changed sim card like 3 times and sometimes it works at the start for a while but then it dies off.. its so random I have no idea why
I got exactly the same issue 3 years ago!!!wen I call the call centre of my career they ask the imei number and they sheck it and mi smartphone was declared stolen.

So I checked my IMEI on this site.. imeipro. info and it says it's blacklisted.. but that might be only in France? as it works in Spain and Austria.. so is there anything I can do as far fetched as it may be to change my IMEI or whatever I must do to be able to call with this phone in France?
Ok after some calls to Samsung and my service provider I have indeed bought a stolen phone like a moron now it's rooted but I need help changing the IMEI.. I tried installing Xposed framework to use the IMEI changer but I cant find one for marshmallow ARMv7 there's one on these forums somewhere but when I hit the links it says it has been moved or deleted... anyone know where I could find it?
Changing the IMEI in most countries is illegal, and as such is not to be discussed on XDA.
