Hi, I have unlocked my Nike and have put in a new 3G O2 SIM card. But it says No Service and has no signal at all... The card has been activated so it's not that, and I can get signal on the O2 SIM when I put it in a different phone in the same location...
Please help!
PS. Sorry if this is in the wrong section and should be in the Nike one.
this is an acceptable section for this post.
try running the network wizard for your phone.
By that, do you mean going to Settings - Phone - Network - Find Network?
Because if so, I've tried it and it just says "Current Network - Searching..." for ages and ages then eventually goes to No Service IIRC. I'm doing it again now...
Also, when I do find it (when I've turned 3G on in the Comm Manager) it goes to 3G O2-UK (which is what I want) but then has no signal, then it goes to just O2-UK and no signal.
network wizard is an actual application that will set the correct specifications for you. Try searching the forums for it.
I have searched for it, I downloaded it, I ran it and restarted my HTC Touch Dual like it said... And I get "No Service"...
Please help?
Now it says "Denied, Searching..." sometimes, then says "No Service". Or occasionally it says "O2-UK" but has no signal and when I try and ring it off my house phone it goes straight to voicemail.
I think I may have got it to work. I think the Network Wizard may have sorted it out, just took a while to work.
Unfortunately though, the signal is still weak. Any way I can improve my signal?
Now today I managed to get the signal to FOUR bars, but that was for only about a minute. Now, I am finding it hard to even find service, especially when I turn my phone on.
I've also noticed that if I push the Network to GSM it goes to "No Service" for quite a while!
Please help people, how can I get this to work wherever I go? It seems that sometimes it only works when it's plugged into the laptop via USB cable... I'm a noob.
well try flashing a new radio and see if that fixes it
You'll have to walk me through it man, I'm a complete noob. I don't even know what that means tbh.
With a load of help from ScouseMartin I've managed to get it working but with extremely bad signal/reception. I lose all service most of the time when I'm on the move but after being in the same place for a while the signal manages to get back to about 2 bars... Sometimes is goes full or 4 bars but still calls drop after about a minute or so. About half of the time people can only get through to me, the rest it goes straight to voicemail. Texting is generally okay although sometimes I do receive texts quite a while after they were sent...
Scouse Martin believes that it must be the antenna inside the phone because when I try an Orange SIM in the same phone I get the same situation.
So, I have purchased a T5 screwdriver but now I need a Philips #0, I cannot find any in any shop so can anyone point me towards one (in the UK please) for a couple of quid?
Thanks in advance.
Not the answer. Anyone else have any suggestions?
Well, seems I've stumped. I am selling this phone for £120 ONO with TomTom 6 on the 1GB MicroSD card. I put the teal Manilla2D UI on it.
Anyone interested in it, to fix or for spare parts can find it here: http://manchester.gumtree.com/manchester/39/28860039.html
I sold if, it anyone cares, for £91.02.
Hi,
First of all, I've been reading on these forums for MONTHS and have enjoyed ALOT of great information and software from the people in here. Unfortunatively I have not had much to contribute with, so I skipped the part of registering a user..
So, thanks you all the great stuff, keep it coming!
Now over to my big problem, that I really hope you guys (and girls?) may help out with..
First a bit of story (if you're not bothered, skip this part!).
I went to Miami, FL in February - and my phone back then, iPhone 3G worked flawlessly before and during the trip. Then, 3 days after I came back home it started pulling jokes on me, not connecting to the network etc.. So I get a replacement.. Then, the next time I went over, with a Nokia E63, I bought a T-mobile G1 that I unlocked and got working when I got back home to Norway. 3 days after I came back home the Nokia said no thanks and stopped functioning in the same way as the iPhone. Well, I had the G1, so I just used that one.
Well, I went to the states again, this time to California, Arizona and Nevada with my G1 as travel buddy! It has worked flawlessly all the time before and during the trip, but 3 days after I came home it stopped functioning. I get the "No Service" message with different SIM cards, it doesn't show me that hardware IDs of bluetooth and WiFi (Same as on the iPhone). But WiFi and bluetooth still works - its just the regular GSM/3G network part that doesnt work...
Well, to hell with it - I reflashed the thing with the newest radio and the newest custom ADP software (dont remember which custom one), and it is still not working quite well. No network at all!
I can post a bit more details about firmware and baseband/modem software later on when I get back home and can check out the phone - but it is really frustrating! Right now I got a Nokia E71 off work to use - but after a couple of days I really miss the Android!
I am pretty sure this is a SW issue, as the phone has been taken really good care of, never been dropped or in wet weather..
Any help, tips and hint will be GREATLY appreciated.

did u reconfigure your apns whenever u switched sim cards?
Same provider, different SIM cards and numbers, so shouldn't need to do that..
find out which ROM you're using. also double check which radio you have, cupcake builds tend to use the radio ending in .26I, there are some donut builds having a few issues with the radio, but these should be fixed soon. also even if you're using the same network, for example t-mobile, sim card regions can make a difference to the APN settings. such as a UK sim uses settings specific to the UK, while US sim would use US settings. normally this isn't much of a problem, but the developer of your rom may have missed out the APN list so you would have missing APNs. doesn't hurt to check
hope it helps in some way
Hi!
Sorry I used so long, I have been busy at work lately.
My version numbers are:
Model Number: Android Dev Phone 1
Baseband: 62.505.20.17H_2.22.19.26I
Kernel version: 2.6.27.00392-g8312baf ([email protected])
Build Number:
dream_devphone-userdebug 1.5 CRB21 147201 test-keys.
Under status I get the following (Which I also got with my old firmware/baseband - without any warning at all!):
Phone number: Unknown
Network: Unknown
Signal Strenght: 0 dBm 0 asu
Mobile Network type: unknown
Service state: Out of service
Roaming: Not roaming
Mobile network state: Disconnected
Wifi works, but there is no way of accessing the Telenor network, as it gives an error message saying an error occured.
any tips will be perfect!
no one?
i've had a similar issue
i lost signal all of a sudden without any reason......tried restarting , reflashing.... nothing helped. After about an hour, signal was back, i'm sure it wasnt the network because checked with a few people while my signal was out
Now to the interesting stuff, i've had exactly same issue with htc touch diamond, both diamond & g1 share the same hardware platform and i'm seriously begining to doubt qualcomm's chipsets
Do you know what chipset is in the iPhone 3G as it happened to me on that one aswell?
And, to me it sounds even more suspicious that this happened just a few days after I came back from the states both times.
And I've had a SIM card in the G1, turned on since my first post, and there is no sign of service at all any of that time - as it would have recieved a copy of SMS's sent to my Twin SIM in the E71.
Well, I better just bite the lemon and get myself something new and more useful.
About few weeks ago my Htc Tattoo signal become to be very bad or sometimes full gone. Tried to flash different ROMs, insert different SIM cards, but nothing changes, signal is bad too. When i bought the phone, signal was perfect, becouse I live in a center of the city. So, please, maybe anyone know what the hell is wrong with my phone?
I heard, that it is possibility to reinstall something radio rom. Said, that can fix the problem, but where should i find it?
I have the same problem here. At the time i use the original HTC ROM my phone was connected with 3G and/or HSDPA, but now with fyodor i have the problem that the best connection is 3G.
I don't know how to solve the problem - maybe it is only a display error...?
Is there a application with wich i can test (or see - that is better) how the phone is connecten (GPRS, 3G, HSDPA...)?
kind regards
srkonus
Please, I really need your help. If I took the phone to the guarantee service, they just reinstall roms or something, and nothing changes. I tried to download one radio rom from there http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html#s4 but when I am trying to flash it, the error appears and says, flashing aborted. I am using Amon RA racovery if that means something. So, maybe now you can help me?
Try to change your network only to GSM instead of GSM/WCDMA.
I tried that... I tried every option, which is associated with connection.
I have the same problem...
Here the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=646971
Htc Tattoo is a very very bad phone...
Yea, I've seen this. After a week about, when I return from the trip, I will took my phone to service. They wrote me that, if it is held more than a month, phone should be replaced with the new one.
I brought Tattoo as a birthday gift for my gf,now it bacome the excuse of being late when we date......because she said she can not call me on time. and I never help her solved the problem.(both of us major is telecommunication in the university,what a joke.)
anyway I read the above and other topics.
and try to
1 turn to 'only gsm',
2 manully select oprator, there appears two local oprators, but no radio button on the UI, I'm not sure if it means selected. (do this at where signal is strong)
3 I try to turn on/off 'fly mode' at somewhere no signal.
4 flash other later roms.
no use at all.
on my table signal none. at the window signal full.
but it just 2m between.
my new wildfire and O2 mda is OK on the table, 80% signal.
I like HTC,I just don't sell it as 2ed hand,(half price now......)
I heard flash the Radio can make it better or solved, any one know the details?
Hi
This past Saturday, the 3G signal strength in my area was pretty weak due to heavy rains and thunderstorm. So I connected the CRC9 3G antenna to my SGS 2 that I used with my 3G modem. Later on I disconnected the antenna and then I found out the phone was not receiving any signals. On further investigation found out that if I went outside the phone was receivng signals but juts a bar or two at max. Tried the same sim in my friends SGS2 and it was receiving full signals.
After this I tried flashing different roms, kernels, modems etc but to no avail, the situation did not improve. Now the only way I can receive signal in my phone is by connecting a thin copper wire to the hole of the CRC9 connector at the back of the phone.
The phone was purchasded in UK from CPW, hence does not carry local Indian warranty.
So whats the best thing to do? Please help me.
Tried factory reset?
Yep tried hard factory reset.
Tried all possible modems vers, things work a bit better with KF2.
so guys can anyone help me?
Would you be able to put a different networks sim in, to see it it is just the network being faulty, or a hardware problem. Maybe if you have a different phone you you can see how good the signal is in that and compare the two, to see if it is again hardware or networks.
If it is hardware, there is really only a couple of things to do, take it to a phone repair shop, or get in contact with Samsung and pay them to fix it. I know that a couple of weeks ago in the uk, I started getting only 2g connectivity and it kind of scared me a bit, thinking I had damaged my brand new phone. It turned out the networks 3g was down in my area for a couple of days.

I had the same problem, I put in a different sim and it worked fine, for some reason it hated the orange network in the uk, but seemed to work well on o2.
Hi,
I have a weird problem with my S4.
At work I have some areas with really bad coverage so sometimes the phone can stay for a few minutes (or even say 1h) out of service.
This is all normal. The coverage sucks, the building is weird, not problem here.
The problem is that when I go outside where the signal is normally full it does not register back to the network.
Even more it does not even go to "emergency only mode". On a few occasions I arrived back home (10Km + drive) until I realized people can't call me because the phone is out of service.
What is even weirder is the fact that on some occasions, even though the (no service) (/) sign is displayed mobile data works just fine.
My previous iPhone did something similar too - it took a while for it to recover signal after exiting the coverage black spots but never more than maximum 5 minutes.
To me it looks like a radio modem issue and maybe this is aggravated by the fact that my carrier uses the same 2100MHz frequency for both Data and Voice.
I would like to know if any of you have experience anything like this or if there is some app available that can monitor what's happening.
what network and firmware you on and wich s4 variant:thumbup:
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
I9505XXUBMEA I9505OXXBMF1
It's Europe standard i9505.
Network is Digi.Mobil Romania - but I doubt it's relevant since it can't get even emergency only (other networks).
so... any idea?
Android needs to work on it's notification. No Service and the reception bars only gauge voice coverage. You can test this out by using Service Mode to do a PS Only (data) attach instead of the standard PS + CS (voice) attach. It'll say no service, but data will be fine.
Emergency only, is when there is coverage from other operators but not yours. No service, means your way off the grid.
I've noticed the issue you describe and it's only on some firmwares. Try a newer one and see if you still have the same issue. But you might notice a drop in your battery life because your phone will be scanning all the time. If you're happy with no coverage at work, best to just turn it off and then turn it on when your outside.
Best option is to tell your operator about the lack of coverage. There's someone in charge of stats who get's beaten every time you drop a call. You'll get extra attention if you've got other businesses around you, so let them know that too.
Thanks for the reply.
I am already on the latest firmware and I noticed the same behavior on the firmware before this one.
Unfortunately I can't try out other modem versions (from other FW packages) as that would void my warranty.

but...what about reboot phone? i know isnt funny but until u find a problem u can just reboot ur phone while u are going out from ur office...or just try to enable and disable airplane mode
Of course reboot works but I am looking for a solution, not a partial workaround.
The most annoying problem is that if I forget to reboot it when I leave work it will not recover network connectivity even if I am in areas with very good coverage, areas where you would expect your phone to work.
It looks like when it decides to give up it does not try again. It is very weird that it also drops the signal from other networks (the "emergency only") even if it's well in their coverage areas. I guess I will have to switch phones... Even if this issue was present for the iPhone too it never took more than a few minutes for it to recover on its own. And I'm not an apple fan
Just to do some brain ecercise...do u keep in power save when u are out of signal ? Its possible that disable check after few tries
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
It's not in power save. I only use that function in case of battery emergency.
Same problem here
Hello, I have the EXACT same problem here. I am in Argentina.
Now, I've been in the USA for a few weeks, visiting, and while my phone was roaming, I didn't have a single problem with my phone.
Since I came back, 3 days ago, I haven't had any problems in Argentina, either.
Is it possible that something got activated when the phone was registered to another company? (it was AT&T i believe)
If that's the case... maybe you can try putting a sim card of another company and see if you still have the problem?
Please let me know if you still have the same problem or if you got it solved. I would love to know something more scientific about all this.
I don't know if this is relevant, but my compass is off by about 30 degrees. Maybe my phone is defective?
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME WITH THIS

Hi I have similar issue,
My phone says its out of service or no signal or no network also I checked my sim card in other phone in the same place and it is fine. The i9505 model in ireland meteor provider was running ok until deicided to give a try to another network operator, when I changed the sim card it didnt only catch up the signal from new network provider but also it refuses to catch the old network provider. Funny thing is that I am receiving 3G but no signal bars and no service sign is beeing displayed. I am running latest official BTU (UK) firmware, the phone was never rooted, altough I had to remove the simlock and instal unbranded firmware. The phone worked fine with the newest updates for a month and now I am facing this trouble.
No factory resets nor installing same radio (couple of times) have helped. Also I used odin to instal same firmware (as it has locked bootloader) so I cannot revert back to other stock firmwares, but still no joy.
hope that someone faced the same problems and describe how to solve this issue. thanks
