Why would you want to edit it? It gets your number from the SIM.

Oh.
That's weird.. is it reporting the IMEI?

After looking around it seems that the sim sometimes isn't programmed with its own number until you register it with your provider.. is this a new sim or one from a different network?

Hi mate neither it is the sim provided with the phone.
Yes the IMEI number is displaying
thanks for your efforts so far

Just contact your provider by phone. I had to do this with mine just a few weeks ago. They will tell you to shut off the phone then they will send a signal to the phone, etc. It only takes a minute or two.
Hope this helps.

Does it matter?
i.e., if the phone works, then nothing is accomplished by messing with this.

I saw something on here a while ago about inserting an application so that if your phone is stolen and a new SIM inserted, the phone will automatically send a text to a number you have designated.
If anyone has any knowledge of what it is and how it is set up I'd appreciate it.
as always thanks in advance.

Will it connect, to a different network with the appropriate SIM? sounds to me like a dodgy unlock to me

In that case, if it where me, I would use The Advanced Ace Hack Kit to root and Super CID your device that will SIM unlock the device permanently, the only proviso is it may erase all your data so make sure it's synced with the Google servers etc., etc

Sorry was offline last night, I would contact your provider and check that your handset isnt blacklisted, if AAHK worked and your sim-unlocked and not blacklisted try flashing a different radio?

I have the same problem as the OP.
Ive used the Ace Hack Kit and it still wont work with my SIM. I contacted my Network provider and they said my IMEI wasn't blacklisted or barred.
Any ideas?

Yes, Not all unlocked phones work with all sim cards. Some carriers lock their sims, so you have to ask for a new sim. The Hack Kit sim unlocks the devices but not the SIM restriction set by the carrier.

Yes, I was just thinking the same. I will with some more research on the subject.
It would be worth trying with a different sim. If one of your mates are on a different network try theirs otherwise pick up a free payg sim. At least you will know if it is the phone or the sim then.

Man, I has a low reputation here, but it isn't because I'm noob. It's because I don't post messages here and there ( I'm just trying to keep threads clean and read threads attentively). But I'm enough experienced in your problem. I'm in judicial process with my local shop now, due to exactly your problem. Forget about bad contacts, IMEI's, locks and other I've tried all means that I could find in the internet since 2011, every! And all of the threads connected with your problem begins with "bad metal contacts/ sim card changes/ locks/ unlocks/ roms/ radiomodules/ flashing etc". But It's just a faulty phone[!/B]. Belive me. All this threads ends with something like "any solutions? somebody? " There is no solution for this from at least 2010 year. Don't waste your time and bring your device back to your retailer if you can. I has evidences and prooflinks, and can give them later. Now, I just suddenly have found your post while serching new info in the internet for TODAYS judicial session. So don't reduce my "Thanks Meter" at least till you ask prooflinks. And I'm "beging" you: "just bring your phone back to retailer"
Added few minutes later:
1) I know that it is a bug in the OS-Hardware-controller_flash junction and we all won't find solution because it is very specific.
Here is the answer of t-mobile service. And the core phrase is "If you've messed around with apn settings or something that'll cause errors to, so try a factory reset just to make 100% sure there's a hardware issue." You do not need to fix so hard bug- they should make appropriate devices.

2) A guy whom t-mobile sent a new phone and admited it was manufacturer's bug

NOTE 3 not picking up 3G signal.

hi everyone,
It's my first time i post on this forum, i am a noob.
In brief i just brought an GALAXY NOTE 3 (SM-N9005) a week ago from a seller but just yesterday i realized that my phone work only on GSM and can t pick up 3G signal at all even if i am in a area where there is cover. i searched the net hours and hours but didn t find a clear answer.
Please can someone figure out what is the problem and how to fix it.
Here are my information:
I am from Morocco,my operator is MEDITEL(i tried others operators here "INWI" and "IAM" it doesn t work either no 3G signal ), my Note 3 is under KitKat 4.4.2,
For more information about the phone look at the screenshots in the attachement.
The phone is STOCK not ROOTED i didn t mess anything yet.
The phone is from Spain and the carrier is Orange because at boot the is the orange boot logo.
It will be soo nice if anybody can help me. I really like my phone but if it doesn t work like it should its a shame. Here in morocco high end smartphones are expensive and no warranty unless you buy it from from samsung store where is more expensive.

Yes it might be the problem with CSC, but:
- Did you try your SIM card with another smartphone and have success with the 3G connection?
- In the Phone INFO *Samsung* app, enter the Menu and select [Note 3] Fake Detector, tell me what does it say? What is the Diag Code?

1- This error related to my app. I will fix it soon. Sorry about that.
2- There is a big chance that your phone is a refurbished one. Because it has NONE manufacturing date, and the IMEI does not match with the one on the label.
Can you PM me full info from the Phone INFO app?
---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------
I have looked at your screenshots you sent me.
Your device doesnt have manufacturing date and hardware revision info, so the big chance is that your phone is a refurbished one.
If you can return it to the shop where you bought, I think it is the best choice for you now.
Sorry to say about that.

Hi mate,
I've just updated my app.
Could you please update the app from Play Store (v1.5.0), then enter the Menu and select '[Note 3] Fake Detector', and check for the Diag Code again?
Thank you.

I called the seller and he told me to bring back the phone so he can find what is the problem. For returning the phone i don t think he will accept, firstly ther is no warranty and secondly the phone was sealed with samsung,he didn t open the box then its not he's fault.
If he didn't fix it i will just live without 3G
Thanks a lot vndnguyen and sorry for wasting your time. Btw flashing another modem (CSC) wouldn't fix it?

can you please be more specific. You can use only 3/4G no 2G?or what?
My problem is when i switch to 3G only, i get "Selected network unavailable" even if i am in an area with 3G cover
Hi!
I have same problem.
I Live in Finland. 3 month I used DNA operator, was all perfect. Now I connect to Sonera and work only 2G connection.
I flashed 3 different ROM, flashed 2 different modem ROM, finally I flashed 4 files Poland ROM and use it like it is.
2G worked propertly, 3G don't connect.:crying:
Mobile broadband work correct at all settings.
Can't find way out...

Mobile Network not Available!

Hey Guys,
Just by chance, I found a cracked note 3 on the street today and brought it home. the screen all works but one problem is that I can't seem to connect to any mobile network. It is a Note 3 SM-N9005 which seems to have originally come from Vodafone australia.
The original sim was in it but it doesn't connect and I tried my Optus sim which also did not work. I tried to register on the network in the settings menu but it would just load and then not do anything. The settings show that it is disconnected from a network but still gets a signal.
When I try to call it also says mobile network unavailable! I have done a google search but to no avail. Most info is American but I am an Australian user.
I also get a circle icon with a dash through it in the status bar where there should be a network icon? I haven't owned many Samsungs before, so I would appreciate your help!!
I have attached some screenshots which show more info. CAN SOMEBODY HELP? I would really like to ressurect this awesome device! And if I succeed, then it will replace my current daily HTC One M7. THANKS in advance!
and no the phone is not stolen, i'm telling the truth. phone was reset and there is no evidence of any owner info. tried searching for google account, facebook account and that samsung apps account thing but nothing was there.

Why don`t you take it to the police, if you `found` it. I`am sure the original owner will appreciate that, as would you

Go to settings>>more netowrks>>mobile networks>>network operators..let it search then choose Telus, if it works you should see a message "registered on network" watch for it because it disappears after a few seconds.
The other thing you should check is that the network is actually up, not sure which part of the country you are in but you might want to check the Telus site to make sure they aren't just having network issues.... happened in Calgary a few months ago....
Also check network mode in settings should be set to lte/wcdma/gsm lol I set mine to GSM only and nothing worked....

Just a silly question but did the sim click into place or can it just slide ot? When it is properly in place, you should have to push it in to eject it.

So having further checked into the phone, the IMEI is blacklisted and reported lost or stolen.... That's why it worked at first and now does not!
Be careful buying used phones off Craigslist or anywhere I learned the hard way thank you for your time! :/
