bug in sgs or android - Galaxy S I9000 General

left the phone on the sim unlock screen for an hour and a half (but screen was black as it was asleep).. forgot to put code in.. 11 percent of battery was used up ... if you look at phone battery usage it shows cell standby (trying to get signal) as top user...
The phone shouldnt be trying to get the signal anyway till i put in my unlock code..

You need network for emergency calls
sounds normal to me

i second what freakyzoidberg said
even if you turn on the phone has SIM locked and you are using a SIM card from another company, you can still make 911 calls on most phones

except that it never gets network.. if that was the case it would have network signal.. if you look at the top bar it shows no network.. it either should acquire the network so you can make emergency call or stop trying to get it (using up battery) till you push the emergency button.. i dont think this functionality works anway.. i will test because without simm card how does it know which network to acquire?

i think the phone recieves all available networks before it asks for the SIM-pincode... after that it needs time for connecting to your SIM-provider network etc. .. If you have no SIM or a locked SIM then only emergency call is possible because it is the only number that is present in any network. The phone will then use the first available network to connect...

Wizard airplane mode on and off on its own with gophone sim

Sorry about this post but I looked everywhere. Im usualy an android guy but a friend gave me an cingular branded wizard the other day.
Now I know these phones are old.... first sign is the fact it still says singular lol.
My problem is, I have a couple old Att 3g go phone sim cards from my iphone that still have money on them and I would like to use it up. Now I know the Wizard is unlocked because My tmobile sim card works fine as soon as it boots, But I use that in my much upgraded G1.
When I put the Att gophone sims into the wizard, it shows as cingular, but every min or so, airplane mode switches on just long enought o cancel the network then it tries to find it again. over and over for both sims, neither of which are locked to any phone.
Now if it just didnt get a signal Id be fine.
But, I go into the network settings and see it switching airplane mode on and off loosing the 3-5 bar signal I get.
I guess what I want to know is do go phone sims work on wizards? did I do something wrong? is there anyway to permanently disable airplane mode as I will never use it?

Mobile network state: disconnected

Got an x10 today off ebay, unlocked after browsing this forum, by htc-code, network shows carrier on home screen, signal shows 4 bars, yet in status it says mobile network state: disconnected, this results in me not being able to get any calls at all, not even a simple balance check, the sim card is pay&go whilst I sort it out but as far as I'm concerned it isn't a data plan issue or anything like that.
Just wondered whether this is an issue anyone knows anything about or whether it's been imei blocked or whether I should just get in touch with tesco.
possibly important info:
Tesco mobile
phone was locked to orange, now unlocked
firmware 1.6
baseband 1.1.25
kernel 2.6.29-rel semc-android semc #2
signal strength -85dbm 14asu
mobile network type utms
service state in service
mobile network state disconnected
Being a pay as you go, the SIM might need activating? Ring your Telco and see what they say.
The sim came out of another phone I've been using for the past 3 years I'll give them a call later to set up a data plan anyway.
Got hold of Tesco, they couldn't solve it, imei isn't blocked or anything, tried and Orange simcard (the network it was originally on) and that works and makes calls, my other sim doesn't make or recieve calls, so it looks like it hasn't been unlocked fully. I need to get hold of htc-code and try to figure out a solution, that is, when they're online. I'll post back with an outcome.
both my x10a and my nexus1 say the same thing, mobile network state disconnected, and my phones work great. i am on wifi now, but when i turn off wifi my phone has no issues with cellular data.
your phone must not be unlocked yet or you might not have entered your apn correctly. make sure the apn is correct for your network and try again
i just turned off wifi and waited for the 3g symbol to reappear and now my mobile network state reads connected. so this indicates if you are attached to the network for data only.
i would still make sure that you manually configure your networks apn settings and then try to make a call. i think i had an issue when i had flashed to a different firmware and had not entered my carriers info.
Thanks for the reply mate, I'll try that seeing as ferraripassion/sudarshan is offline I'll let you know how it goes.
Sort of fixed, manually entering APN puts up 3g symbol and changes mobile network state to connected, even on wap internet, but I still can't make or receive calls on this sim card :/
Thought I'd check the phone on checkmend this morning, although the phone does still work on an orange sim card, checkmend says
Ever blocked UK: This item has been blocked during its lifetime by one or more UK network(s).
IMEI Currently blocked: This item is currently blocked on one or more networks. It may still work on some networks.

So, with that, does anyone have any advice on IMEI unblocking/people to contact and getting my cash back?
Write to matey boy on eBay and get money back. Because clearly, he's sold a non-working phone that's probably been nicked.

Rebel Simcard Stopped Working... :(

I just got my streak this morning. I inserted the rebel simcard along with my simcard.
Voice calls were working, text messages, voicemail, etc...
I noticed a few hours later that it now displays NO SERVICE...
I tried everything, rebooting, taking out battery, taking the rebel simcard out and putting it in again, still says no service.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance...

Have you done everything it says on the rebel Sim forum there is a video and a section on there with lots of answers and do a google for your problem chances are some one has come across your problem before
I checked out the FAQ and it said to keep ROAMING DATA ON.
It WAS on at first when it was working but I turned it off since I do not use it and have to pay 50 pence everytime I connect to it!
Keeping roaming on will charge me £14 per month!
Hopefully soon they will find a way to unlock it properly, but annoying that I MUST keep roaming ON otherwise phone will not work...
my rebel sim ii doesnt work that well either - I am on optus in australia. I need an unlock code. Hopefully it will come thru when it gets released in america and china.

It SHOULD work. However, you have to use it in a certain way.
The Rebel sim wasn't working for me either until I followed a guide.
After I followed these instructions, the rebel sim card now works...
What you have to do is:
1. You need to place your network sim in a 2G only phone and let your simcard get network.
2. If using a 3G Model phone turn off 3G and then get network on your sim in 2G mode but this does not work for all phones as some phones even when you turn off 3G in the software functions will initalise your network sim in 3G/UMTS Mode but we need to initialise the network sim in 2G mode so try another model phone to get network in 2G then use in Dell Streak if you cant get network at all that is the reason.
3. Place in Dell streak but first make sure Dell Streak Data roaming is turned on and 3G is off
4. From Time to time you may loose network when travelling through network black spots but when stationary its not a problem.
5. When you loose network the only way to regian this is to place your network sim in a 2g only phone or a phone is 2g mode as described above and then enter back in to the Streak.

Yes i do this.but the 5 point is no good.my provider work only in 3g mode.my provider is 3.if i put in 2g mode work but i dont have data connection.
Ah ok, it's a shame...
I do not use 3g so it's not a problem for me but it's a problem at the moment for those who do!
I just looked at my phone and it now says ''no service''
One day it will work, the next it won't...
It's really pissing me off.
The rebel simcard is really unreliable, what a waste of £10...
I really do need to find a proper way of unlocking it.
I now have a phone that does not work.
Anyone have any suggestions?
This is a temporary but annoying solution to get your rebel sim working again...
I've done this for the THIRD time in 2 days...
After a few hours or a day of using your streak with the rebel sim, you will suddenly notice emergency calls or no service...
Regardless of what you do, turn your phone off and on or even taking out your simcard and reinserting it will not solve the problem.
The only solution is to get a spare phone, put your simcard in it, manually specify your network, then put the simcard along with the rebel sim back into the dell streak...
It's really stupid that I have to do this to get reception, should I of known this I would not have bought the dell or this piece of $hit rebel sim card which doesn't work properly for most people...

This has been working now for me for the last 12 hrs
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Cool, glad you got it working!
Mine has been working all day so far, around 12 hours so far, I hope it stays that way!!
ok this morning I noticed I wasn't recieving SMS's or Calls - so I rebooted and it fixed it FYI
Nothing against the method that was devised - but this phone caught me out again whilst I was out and about and dropped connection to calls / sms and 3g all at once and totally screwed me. As a result, I'm putting it back in the cupboard and getting out my G1 until an unlock code is released.
I dont understand why dont exist unlock code for streak.its impossible find other method for code?
I'm unsure why it works for some people and others it doesn't...
However, yes, it's best to get an unlock code as it will permanently work & all features/functions will work...
My Streak may stop working soon as well, who knows...
But try to do it again as I have.
I have had my streak for only 3 days and 3 times it suddenly stopped working and I got no network and I had to get another spare unlocked phone and follow the previous instructions.
Try the instructions again and see what happens.
Hi
Looks like all are using older v1.1 firmware that has some issues with Dell Streak.
However the the newer V1.2 that was released fixes anu kind of issues with signal loss

[Q] Network issues help

So i have the galaxy s5 16gb model on atat with the latest update and i cant get a sim card to get any network connection at all. I get signal bars on the device sometimes and other times i get a circle with a line through it. I also cannot find a network operator when i go into the mobil network settings. The device wont even let me do emergency calls when i have a sim in but when i take the sim out emergency calls work. This device had both a cracked screen and replaced body because of damages but other then that the device is 100% stock. So anyone here have any ideas also i'll post some pics of the issues.

Note 3 - Not connecting to my network

I have a Galaxy Note 3 with a problem. When i put my sim card in, it asks for SIM PIN and I type it. Then I get "Emergency Calls Only" or "No service. It wont connect to my SIM CARD NETWORK.*
I have tried/Things I know
-Checking Network Operator and select network from there. Tried also "Select Automatically" still nothing happend. It pops out " Registred on network" but it is not.
- I have changed Network Mode from "LTE/WCDMA/GSM" to "WCDMA/GSM", then!! My network comes up in 5 seconds and go to normal again "Emergency Calls only"*
- My IMEI is not blacklisted! It comes up on screen when typing *#06#.
- MY PHONE connects to the 4G perfectly! I get internet to surf from my SIM CARD! It means the phone is actually connected to the phone. BUT why dont it connect to the operator so I can call?
- Also I have saved contacts on my sim card and then sync to the phone, that means that the SIM is connected to the phone.
This is not a hardware problem, I changed the antenna, but still the same problem happend. I believe this is a software problem.
Everything I change between Network Modes, my NetworkOperator came up in the top corner left in 5 seconds and then went to "No service/Emergency calls only"
I have also factory reseted and installed stock firmware from my country.

Is it possible that mobile network signal happen to be poor at the spot where you are?
Hope anyone others below will help you. Anyway, good luck to you.
The signal is full.
