Hi,
I've recently unlocked an O2 XDA ii and its successfully working bar the fact that it won't call out or receive calls. Its sending and receiving text's etc.
I'm on the Vodafone network with PAYG. Is there something obvious i'm missing?
Its also keeps saying the phone is in Germany (and has a little G) in the signal bar at the top in the O2 active part of the software on the in "My XDA" keeps changing it back to Germany. I'm guessing this is where the call is messing up?
I keep changing it to UK and the phone keeps changing it back... any ideas how I can sort this little problem?
Sorted it - O2 had 'accidently' put it on a black list of stolen Xda's (never has been). Fone bar now removed and now working Vodafone. Great site this - new rom (1.72), completely unlocked and sorted for divx software as well to watch films - great stuff
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...
I have some strange problems with my Omnia 7 (which is unlocked) and my Telia SE subscription.
The phone it self was locked to 3 SE and when i use that sim card it works like a charm, when i use a Tele 2 sim card everything works but the mms, but when i use my Telia sim card the sound gets really strange, sometime its gets quite after someone answer or when i answer, some times its like the phone puts on a robot sound filter so both me and the one i talk to sounds like "robots" and when i call some ppl its 2 beep signals, one loud and one quite.
I tried 2 different Samsung Omnia 7 phones and its the same problem with both of them, and it cant be the sim card cause when i have it in my iphone it works perfectly. Anyone have any idea what todo or what can be wrong?
Oh btw when i use Samsung Network app it say this application cant be launched with your mobile operator and it says active profile 3 SE.
Ok I think we have an Omnia problem too. I thought this was the network, but I get those sounds too, on 35% of all calls.
that cant be good.
I tried 2 phones now and some problem on both, but the strange part is that it worked with the other cards for me.
Does different operators use different encoding or something? Cause i cant get the telia settings in network profile app, it still says 3
what s new from this ,?
Hi,
I have the same problem on another operator that the original one.
I am having similar issues right now with my Omnia 7. Although it relates more to connections and different SIM cards.
Put the issue onto the MS social answers site and if you are lucky someone knowledgeable might reply.
What I have found to be the easiest thing to do is to get on the UK windowsphone7 page on facebook. They definitely have a team that passes on issues in a more reliable fashion.
Do we have any solution for this issue? I started to have problems like mentioned before on my Omnia 7 - NoDo, locked.
I bought an unlocked Blue Dash JR K phone and tried it out with my Telus sim card today. For some reason, it doesn't seem to get any service.
In the first screenshot, the magnifying glass appears whenever I stick my sim card into the phone. I don't know what this means. The phone can still see the phone number and other details, but when I go to the sim management in settings, the call and text messaging are greyed out while data isn't. The data doesn't work whether it's off or on.
I've been searching on google and this forum and I still can't find anything on it. Some help would be appreciated, thanks.
Hey guys, I'm having an issue that I can't seem to resolve on my own. I recently broke the screen on my Note 5 so I decided to use my old Note 4 until the Note 8 comes out. Today I took out the phone, placed my simcard into it and started it up. I thought everything was fine until I tried making a call where it just gives me a pop up notification that I'm not registered on the network.
The phone isn't locked, bought it new unlocked. No custom roms (ever), IMEI is correct (naturally). So far I've reset the phone to factory settings to see if that would help to no avail.
If manually choose a carrier manually (both searching and choosing one takes longer than usual) I get a new message "No Service Selected Network (Telia N) not available".
The phone worked prior to me putting it away, my sim card works in other phones. Any suggestions or am I up sh**s creek without a paddle?
take out the simcard and try an emergency call (in my country it's a crime to playing with it. But without the card nobody can catch you.)
if the message appears again = it seems HW related problem
if the emergency call is working = it seems your phone restricted by the carrier and you need to ask the customer service why. Maybe a mistake
Thanks, it appears to work without sim card dialling 112. I'll email and call my service provider tomorrow.
