i got the exact same prob with a i9505 gs4 on JB then i updated it to stock rom kitkat 4.4.2 and its still the same with a o2 sim i can see the data arrows and the signal bars but other sims just signal bars but never connects to any network, if it was blocked it would ask for an unblocking code? would it not? did u get anywhere with this problem? my imei is ok and so is the serial no, and i checked and its not black listed and the phone works ok with wifi

[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.

[Q] 'H' icon in notification bar

I just bought an unlocked Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900V) and I'm facing a problem. I have an 'H' icon beside the signal bars in the notification bar and there is a message in the notification menu saying, "SIM card from an unknown source". Can anyone help please? Sorry if this has been brought up before, i did my best to google my query first. Thank you.

Hey! Thank you for replying promptly. I got rid of the unknown SIM card error. I knew of that fix, i just thought there would be some other workaround to that. Any idea about the greyed out 'H' icon in notification bar?

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.

Note 3 - Not registred on network problem - HELP!

My Note 3 SM-N9005 is getting "Not registered on network - No service". 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. Whenever I change networkmode between "LTE/WCDMA/GSM" to ""WCDMA/GSM" my network operator come up in 5seconds and dissapear again back to "Emergency calls only - No service"
The strange thing is that my 3G works. Also my contacts on SIMCARD syncronize to my phone. That means that there is nothing wrong with the simcard/slot.
My IMEI is not blacklisted. I have checked.
I have factory resetted the phone and flashed tons of firmwares but no luck..
PLEASE HELP!
