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.

My phone suddenly lost its cellular connection. When I am looking for networks in manual mode the only network that the phone shows is 42503 and when I try to connect to it I just get "no service". I live in Israel and my network is Cellcom with Orange and Mirs GSM networks present. Other SIM card that I tried on this phone (Orange's) gives the same result. My SIM card works on other phone. Other wireless connections (WiFi and Bluetooth) work fine. Any ideas?
Same issue
I contacted both my carrier and HTC, they both agree it's the mainboard that has gone bad.
Have you tried taking the battery out for 10 minutes?
Have you tried a HARD reset?

on boot up, does the phone display the NO GSM or G NONE error? sounds like a corrupt radio. Check the forums for that... you will find a whole bunch-o-solutions. If it is hardware and you have warranty left, send it.
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.
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...
hello
I have had my note 3 or about a week now.
I cannot successfully make calls. I can receive calls and do pretty much everything else. Browse internet, sending texts etc.
As soon as i dial a number it takes a while to connect and then it ends the calls.
I am on Three. uk
I have tried with wifes Sim and the phone also fails with her sim but my sim works fine in her phone. so can rule out problem with the sim.
I have tried changing caller id to network mode as read that fixed Galaxy s II devices but that has not worked.
I have tried messing about with the different types of network mode. Only GSM mode works.
I am getting a full 4 bar signal.
I am on stock firmware SM-n9005
baseband n9005xxudmj7
build number jss15j.n9005xxudmk2
Anyone got any idea why this is happening or how i can fix it without sending phone off for repair ?? I have read elsewhere that the December update might have caused an issue like this ?
Many thanks

Try factory reset with your wife’s sim inside, if still same problem I think service centre is only option.
by any chance, have you set your network mode to 4G only? cause afaik, the phone wont receive call if youre on LTE 4G only mode in network. once i too cant make a call when i set my network mode to LTE only, then i choose LTE/GSM/WCDMA auto, i can receive and make call again
Thanks.
I have tried reset and this does not work.
its definitely not on 4g . I have tried all the network modes and the only one that works is GSM... I dont want to leave it on GSM though as i want to be able to connect to internet whilst out and about.
Seems a bit ridiculous though that i cannot make a call on a phone. Will be off the the three shop tommorow.
I am facing an uncommon issue from past few days on my nexus 6p.
One day all of a sudden phone stopped recognizing my Vodafone sim card, when I tried searching for network manually it gave me only 3 options Reliance, Jio 4G, Airtel.
I tried multiple Vodafone sims, none works. (All of them works in other mobile phones!!)
Strangely Jio sim actually gets detected and lte data works!! (can't confirm calling as nexus 6p does not support VoLte)
Airtel sim also gets detected but can't place calls.
Gave it for repair but after 10 days they suggested there is no issue in sim tray, we have to change mother board!!
Which is very costly. They were not able to detect actual problem.
Can anyone help me if having any idea on what could be issue.
PS: Device Running latest 7.1.2, tried factory reset, flashing couple of ROM (lineage and Pure nexus) without any success in sim detection.
Dude..I'm also having the exact same problem. ..
In my case the signal comes and goes in every 10-15 minutes or so automatically. But after the signal loss it sometimes shows "No Service|Jio4G" and sometimes "emergency calls only" in the Network Tile in Quick settings.. But reboot/ toggling airplane mode temporarily fixes it. Did you also had the same problem or was it a permanent signal loss in your case ( I mean even no reboot/airplane mode fixed it) ??? And also while there is signal I'm not able to make/get any calls or messages from my telenor and jio sim but in airtel I get signal for more long time than the others(max 1hr) and also I can make/get calls most of the times.
God knows what's happening. ..I'm really frustrated. ... Did you find any fix yet? Ive heard some got fixed by repairing their ic by technician in local mobile repair shop.
Thanks!

Almost same thing,For me in case of Vodafone signal comes every 15-20 min and goes, can't make any calls even when it comes. For me jio is working perfectly from last one month. no signal loss.
I am not able to find any fix for it. given to a local shop as well no luck. Will update if I find something.

Hmm.. ... In my case I've tried Airtel jio telenor and none of them are stable... Sad to hear you didn't get it fix even in the repair shop... Maybe that technician was not professional/experienced.
