Hi,
I unlock the phone and everything was working fine I then put the original orange sim back in to check something and ever since I can not get 3G any more. I am using a three sim . I have tried different 3 sims from other phones that work fine but still it will not connect to three only orange but only 2G. Looking in the phone it is very scratched around the ariel at the bottem. Do you think it may be damaged?
i have tried different APN settings which work on my other san fransico but not on this one. Should I do a factory reset? Or root it -will that help with the problem?
Thank-you

Not tried it, but UK O2 Orbits are not network locked, you can put any SIM in - although with it not being a 3G device, there seems little point in putting a Three SIM in as it will just drop back to whichever GSM network Three piggybacks on (O2 I think). I'v just bought a three sim for £1.25 on ebay, so I'll load it up and see what the coverage is like near me - I only get intermittent t-mobile in my place...
it used to be possible but then 3 started to locking their sims so they only worked in 3g phones
aha!
im not so fussed about the 3g coverage its more being able to use that sim card in the phone, whethe rit roams off of o2 or etc. i got my phoen unlocked (originally t-mobile compact 3) and its the only simcard that doessnt work - thats why im suspicios of this shop[ who says they can doo it for £50
please keep me updated as to how your simcard goes, and if anyone knows a way of doing this im all ears!
Looking for help in getting 3G services running on my TyTnII (Kaiser).
I have a Vodafone version of this device, but running on Orange Network (currently testing the device for work). I have manually setup GPRS settings for Orange network and can connect fine, phone has E for Edge when in correct area, but can not get 3G at all.
Can I assume that this is down to the phone being some how locked down to Vodafone and not letting me use the 3G network on Orange. I have another one of these devices with a Vodafone sim card, and get full 3G straight away, even the G icon appears as 3G.
Any help however relevant would really be appericated.
Thanks
Pete
i dont believe they can be locked to edge at all
maybe the orange subscription is just not umts enabled
Coming to the problem from a different direction which may help.
I have an Orange SPV M5000 which I use on an orange PAYG sim card. This has never shown 3G on the display. A couple of days ago I unlocked the phone & put in my T-Mobile PAYG simcard which I have been using on an Orange SPV M1000 (only a max of £1 a day up to 30g of downloads)and straight away it showed the 3G sign on the display, so it's possable that your simcard does not alow 3G or it needs to be enabled.
My Orange PAYG simcard needed to be GPRS enabled when I wanted to start downloading data. Hope this helps. Regards John
Thanks for your help so far.
Hi Guys,
Just wanted to say thanks for your replays so far, certainly looking like problem with Orange, rather that phone.
I have contacted Orange after finding an article on their website about using 3G and it stating that you need a 3G device and 3G sim card.
Will let you know how I get on.
Thanks again.
Pete
orange does not allow 3G connections without first being enabled there end. Ive had the same problem some time ago.
I called Orange & they said I needed a new 3G sim card cost £1 which i bought. It came yesterday & i installed it & now I have the 3G symbol on the display.
Do I need to change any settings or numbers etc or are the old setings OK for 3G

As far as I know the settings that work with GPRS on Orange should just work for 3g in your case.

hi guys im new to htc,and have a strange problem,i have a 3 contract with a n95 8gb with unlimited internet the works,and my wife bought me this htc touch hd for xmas, its unlocked so i slapped my 3 sim in it only i cant get any signal .i can connect to the net via my sim but i cant make calls or send txts.when i put the sim in it automatically connected to h3g uk but theres no signal bars when i touch the icon it says no service,and when i go into settings and either automatically or manually select network a network error box appears saying cannot register on selected network.choosse another network,or disconnect your data and try again.ive tryed this to no avail and its thrashing my head.its possibly the best phone ive ever had and i cant use it.can somone please help
dont think you can use normal gsm functions on this phone with a three sim as three sims are different to normal USIMS.
i dont know the technicalities but i do know that three sims differ from other network's sims.
I have no signal and under the notifications bar It says "Selected network (T-mobile UK) is unavailable. So I thought let me change the sim, I did it still doesn't work. I checked and cleaned the sim card hole. Didn't work, I tried to set it manually under networks and select network, it didn't work also I checked my IMEI but my IMEI is still shown but my signal is -113dBm so what's the problem? I even flashed and factory reset to stock still the problem persists. Right now I'm using Kyrillos rom 10.5. Thanks in advanced.
Might sound stupid but try the Sim in another phone?

I've tried 2 sims and they both work in another phone. Seems like it could be a faulty sim card slot. Guess it's time to throw out my G3 had it now for over a year.
UPDATE - 25/10/16 - Gave phone to Samsung Service center and they have updated me today that they found the radio is corrupted possibly so they have asked Samsung to give them a confirmation to proceed with Radio firmware reloading which includes IMEI re-coding. There's a chance of even them getting the device bricked of course but lets see what happens.
Hello all,
I have SM-N910G with latest stock rom (N910GDTS1DPI1).
Was using this phone on Reliance Jio VOLTE since end July and had set network more to LTE only (sicne RJio only has 4g LTE coverage).
Last thursday morning I noticed the phone is not registered on network and on trying to troubleshoot further by switching to a different (Vodafone) SIM, realized that the phone is only able to register on GSM (2G) networks and Edge data works too.
Have tried factory reset (and reloading of stock ROM thru ODIN including NAND erase using PIT files too) to check if I can get the phone to work on 3g/4g but no use. Seems like this is hardware issue (radio gone faulty?).
The phone is 18 months old so out of standard warranty hence I'm not much hopeful that Samsung Service center will be of any help. Before I take this there, just wanted to check if anyone else faced such issue before and have managed to sort the same out.
Cheers and thanks in advance.

Thanks but it's not an apn issue. The phone doesn't simply register on any 3g or 4g networks. Hence the thought that it's hardware issue.

What do you mean by not getting Volte on any SIM? It's only for Reliance Jio. For other service providers, you need to get a 4G SIM before you can use 4G.
My phone is now dead bricked and beyond repairs as confirmed by Samsung service center. I'm not spending 15k for motherboard change.
4g
I have idea 4g sim but when I insert it
My note 4 doesn't shows it it says no sim card
Insert sim when I put Jio sim I get no service/ Jio 4g
Emergency calls only signal when I tried bsnl 3g
& Tata Docomo 3g sims both sims getting network
Signal & I can call also but when I tried to connect to internet by using these 3g sims my mobile connects and switchs off suddenly I have to pull out battery or connect to charger to start the mobile
This is my problem

That's weird indeed. Have you ever tried any custom Roms or rooting because of which your Knox status would have tripped? In any case it's worth taking the phone to nearest samsung service center. They charge just 200 bucks to inspect the issue and another 200 to reload the software if needed. But in my case it was hardware fault so they couldn't do anything.

I haven't tried rooting yet and by the help of
A local mechanic who is a good friend of mine
And has a free entrance in local care center
We both went there and the care center gay
Tried to flash the mobile but no success now he says
That we should officially send the mobile to
The care center in a bigger city or like Mumbai
Where there are experts to tackle such weird problem

All the best mate. Just remember that they will ask you to sign up for Dead Brick risk which means you're OK if device goes dead during software flashing. The only way to get device working again is to replace motherboard which costs around 15k.
