Hello all!
I've made some searches, but I could not find a resolution to my problem (and very few people seem to have this problem!).
Sometimes, in Android only, my phone will drop signal to zero. This most often happens when coming out of sleep, but it happens sometimes when I'm just holding it, too.
I'm thinking that it most often happens when it switches from HSDPA to EDGE or from EDGE to HSDPA or when it gets a particularly strong cell signal (rarely, though; I'm on T-Mobile USA).
I've read about PPP drops, but I don't think this is the same--in my case, the signal just goes to nothing. It's like I'm in a basement. No voice calls, no SMSes.
Once, I was able to get to the choose-a-network-screen; there, I chose T-Mobile, and it told me that the SIM was not the correct one for the network. Other times, I've gotten to that screen and T-Mobile could be chosen. Another time, it'll give me an "error when searching for networks."
Does anyone have any suggestions for this?
Thanks!
Edit: I thought I'd clarify; this happens across every Android build. I've tried 15 and 14 radios. The Europeans seem to have this too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=796713 ... Is there a solution for this? Thanks!
Have you tried using secret setting to get onto phone options and change cdma preferred to gsm auto prl. I used to have this problem too. Dial *#*# 4636#*#* to get to those settings or download free app "secret phone setting" from market. Hope this helps.

Hi,
Thanks for your input! Unfortunately, I think this disables 3G in general as well... do you know of a workaround that still lets me keep 3G?
Thanks!
Edit: My apologies; other solutions that have mentioned GSM seem to think that it keeps it at 2G. Looks like this might work, even for 3G! I'll keep y'all updated. Thanks again!
How does this work for you?
I have ths same problem, and I can't get the 3G to work regardless of all the setting.
Also tried the secret setting.
Still limited service
Using tmobile usa, t-zones, rafdroid 3.0
Was okay and slightly on and off intermittently until yesterday, totally lost connection.
Please help
Hi,
Did anyone here able to resolve the problem? I have exactly the same problem. I am on T-Mobile US (HTC sensation 4G), my phone has stopped picking up any signal. It always shows "limited service/no signal". T-Mobile customer center is saying that there is no issue of signal strength in my area. In the phone, under wireless and netwoks setting, I am unable to check "mobile network" option too. I did factory reset too but thats also not working. I have also contacted T-Mobile and tried using the settings they provided for APNs but that did not work too?
I tried searching at various places but no one seems to have faced this issue. Any help on this issue would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Limited Service, Emergency Calls Only - No Signal
Our HTC HD2 is showing Limited Service, Emergency calls only.
We are running Android From NAND by aMAGLDR V1. 11 build DEC 31 2010 Cotulla 2010. The Limited Service, Emergency calls only began today
at 9am and the issue hasn't been resolved.
Is there any step by step suggestions?
Changed secret settings WCDMA to
GSM auto (PRL) with no resolution.
Would a hard reboot resolve this issue? How is a step by step hard reboot performed on the HTC HD2?
Thanks in advance.....
First step tho I'm sure you tried this already would be to reseat the sim card, followed by testing the sim in another phone, then another sim in the hd2.

i you can put another t-mob sim in phone,or if unlocked,any sim in and look in android settings,phone info,that the phone number is changing when sim changed,have had problem with 3uk sims and some other sims that the phone does not appear to notice that the sim/ number has changed ,some services will work,others wont..
ang get same prob hunting for providers failing.
perhaps android has a bug.
could be faulty antenna connector on phone.
could be worn/damaged sim or sim holder in phone.
could be t-mobs problem their end.
sorry not more help,good luck.

When T-Mobile opens we will install new SIM.
The HTC HD2 is new so have no idea if the issue is
any of the above you listed. T-Mobile has the best service plans
but the worst customer service.
We require a true unlimited plan because 90% of our calls are
to landlines.
Thanks for your response.
HTC HD2 running Android.
Required sim card upgrade!
7 NOV 2011 UPDATE ON LIMITED SERVICE, EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY!
Visited a T-MOBILE store and the SIM card was 2G and they upgraded
the SIM card. It resolved the issue.
We thank everyone who contributed to this issue.
T-MOBILE representative stated the HTC HD2 could never achieve
4G. Attempted to upgrade us to a Galaxy 4GS II. We will never
pay retail for a phone.

Network Mode
I had this issue as well on my HTC Sensation. What worked for me was to set Network Mode to "GSM Only" (Settings/Wireless & Networks/Mobile Networks/Network Mode).
It was weird, when I had 4 bars I could make/receive calls, but when reception was 2-3 bars it wouldn't. It has been less than 24 hrs so not completely sure the problem has gone away but worth a shot.
Bonne chance.
My solution
Hey Guys!
I had the same problem after upgrading my Moto Milestone 2 to 2.3.6 Vivo ROM. When I went to class at university I had "Emergency calls only" - not "limited service" or "no service". So I had receiption... Also I could select any other provider but not my own (T-Mobile Hungary). The same thing happened when I was at home, in the house. The strange thing was that I didn't have any problem at any other place. Also, when I locked my screen and didn't use the phone, I had bars and could receive calls&sms, but after waking up the phone, the bars went down to 0 and got the "Emergency calls only" message.
I Googled a bit and found an answer which was worth a try before asking for a new SIM card from my provider ('cause that was the only solution I found in every other forum).
So the things to do are:
dial *#*#4636#*#*
go to Phone information
Scroll down to "Set preferred network type"
Select "GSM auto (PRL)"
My default was "GSM only" and after setting to auto I had full bars.
One thing to note: I don't use 2G or 3G or 4G or any other G. I just use WiFi for browsing and other than that, GSM to receive calls and send SMS. If you need 3G I think you need to change to some other settings. But you should give it a try.
Cheers!
Emergency calls only; When Android pie sleeps
I notice several times since I loaded Android Pie on my Oneplus One that the system, to save battery, is shutting down apps, even system apps. One of these is the phone service causing my phone to read Emergency calls only. After picking it up, about 30 sec, it registers 3 bars as normal. I am concerned that I am missing calls and text messages because after it turns on I get text messages. So, what is going on here? Any Ideas?
I've been having this problem for a few days now. Whenever I try to make a call, it gives me the message, "Mobile Network Not Available." I am able to connect to Wi-Fi without a problem but I cannot make or receive phone calls or text messages - only "EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY" I thought it was because I had weak signal at home so I traveled somewhere else but still, with little success.
I've tried everything I can think of. I have:
- Factory reset it (many many times)
- Removed the SIM card and put-it-back-in trick
- Put my SIM card onto another phone and worked just fine
- Airplane Mode On>Turn off phone> Turn back on phone> Turn off Airplane mode
- Create a new APN under T-mobile settings
- Turned the Radio off and back on again
- Went to Settings>More>Mobile networks>Network operators>T-Mobile and it gives me "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network." and sometimes, "Cannot connect to this network, please try again later"
- Turned on "Use only 2G Networks"
- Turned on "Data Enabled"
- Turned on and off "Data Roaming"
- In the Setting>About Phone>Status, it says,
"Network: Unknown"
"Mobile Network Type: UNKNOWN:0"
"Mobile Network State: Disconnected"
I have tried all of this and I am still unable to make or receive calls and text messages. Anyone, please help me !!
Sounds like you need a new Sim card. If you tried putting the Sim card in another phone and it doesn't work, then most likely it's a Sim card issue. Order one online or head over to a T-Mobile store and they should give you one for free.

No, when I put my SIM card on another phone, it worked just fine. I did not have any problems with signal reception. Sorry for the confusion.

Go to Settings and check your baseband. If it says not available or something like that then you'll need to flash a new radio
There is also software based bug for network mode. I have personally experienced this i.e. network mode doesn’t change in reality even if I select 3g mode. So, to force your particular sim card to switch to 3g only mode, first deactivate/disable other sim card on Yureka from setting> sim cards menu. Then dial *#*#4636#*#* > phone information. Tap on Turn off radio button and wait until the button reads turn on radio. Select WCDMA only from dropdown menu above the button. Wait a few seconds. Now tap on Turn on Radio button. Your desired sim card will successfully connect to 3G network. Now go to settings and sim card option and activate the disabled sim card as well. You may need to manually search for network signal if no network is shown. Also you may need to restart the device. If in 3g mode, your phone doesn’t connect to internet, Go to apn setting to ensure correct apn is selected. Sometimes APN menu might not show any installed network settings, in such case, just restart the handset. All these network related issues will be hopefully solved in the next Yureka ota software/firmware update.
after you did this you need to reboot your device......

In my yureka mobile, Sim 1 is suddenly getting disconnected and not detected. I tried to swap the sims then again the problem persist with same sim but not the sim1 slot. I am using the mobile with same sim cards from more than 20 months. But this peculiar issue started occurring from last week. Again the sim is getting detected only after restarting the mobile. I am facing this issue more than 10 times a day. Can you please provide me the resolution.

after flashing cm12.1 my phone stopped getting network..... i have tried every possible way to fix it( APN, network selection, powering off, deactivating- activating, *#*#4636#*#*, etc....)
Please Help its urgent:crying::crying::crying::crying:
My phone is doing very strange things and not working right. I have LTE data, but it will not connect to 3g and I can't do SMS or calls. I'm on Sprint.
I was in Japan for a bit trying to use the Sprint roaming plan. My phone stopped connecting after two days and I spent a lot of time trying to resolve that connection issue, including a factory reset and doing the Update device config and Update PRL many times with no success.
Now that I'm back in the US, my GSM/CDMA still hasn't been working. I have again done the SprintDM updates as well as doing *#*#72786#*#* SCRTN reset and letting that finish, but it still doesn't work. Has anyone seen this issue and know any way to fix it? I'm on stock software too
I'm having this same issue, after a Sprint MVNO did a service update that required all their users to SCRTN. I was originally without LTE, too, but going through *#*#4636#*#* > Phone Info > Dots > Select Radio Band > US at least got that to work - but only that. Voice Service is still "Emergency Calls Only", Voice Network Type "Unknown". I have reset and reflashed this thing countless times, with no luck, even got a new SIM card, and the account has been reprovisioned on their end.
Ok... I screwed up! There is a new Verizon tower near my house and I wanted to update my roaming, so I did the *228. Alas, by accident I chose option 1 (Program phone) instead of option 2 (Update roaming). Immediately after that I lost LTE. 3G is the best I now get.
I am running 7.1 latest update. Not rooted.
Suggestions on how to get LTE back up?
Thanks!

Try this:
*#*#4636#*#*
Phone Information
Change Preferred network type to LTE/WCDMA
If after cycling your connectivity it doesn't pop onto the Verizon 4G network, reboot your phone, you should be good then.
I dont know what it is about that setting that is different, because Verizon doesnt support WCDMA, however this seems to select the correct type of LTE connectivity and you'll be in that. Be aware though, this will likely prevent 3G from working if you enter an area without good 4G coverage.
I have tried all recommendations. LTE works for a while then it is back to 3G. On a further note, when this happens I cannot send a text message but a reboot will solve the text message issue.
I am at a loss. It seems there is no way to make the settings accessed by *#*#4636#*#* STICK.

It not just you. I have been frustrated for weeks. I thought it was only because I upgraded to 8.1 but your situation just answered that. I just ordered a new SIM from Verizon and wont run any programming once I install it. I contacted Essential on it as well as others. I hope the two can work this out.
Best option is a new some. *228 is usually no suggested on LTE unless you really know what you are doing. The PRL should be automatic on LTE.
get a new sim, your is borked now most likely
Will try new SIM tomorrow and let you know...
A VZW rep had me do *228 when I was having some issues with texting when I first got the phone. Fixed the texting issues but then I couldn't get LTE either. A new SIM fixed both issues I was having. *228 is apparently known to bork VZW LTE.
Had the same issues after using the *228 method I advise not using that at all been stuck on 3g since. Getting a new sim thursday hoping that helps (using straight talk Verizon Sim)
Here is a bit of information I have discovered. The phone is stable as long as I NEVER turn on WiFi! IF I have WiFi turned on (no connection to a network required) AND I enter a poor or non-existent service area, I loose service until I go back in with the *#*#4636#*#* and change settings back yet again!
anyone with a new sim got it working? Verizon shipped me one today and put it in. Avoided calling 228 but cannot get the sim to activate itself.
Got a SIM not provisioned error. I turned it off, took the SIM out and checked it, put it back, rebooted and still nothing. Not connecting to Verizon Network. Im afraid to call support because they will insist to call 228 to program it.
BTW the final version of 8.1 fixed all the Verizon weirdness I had going on. I popped it back in 'Global' in the Mobile Network settings (which is equivalent to 'LTE/CDMA/UMTS (PRL)' in the Phone Information section) and it hopped immediately on to Verizon, no kinda looking like sprint, no blank, no need to dial *228 for a new PRL it just worked. In fact on reboot it doesn't sit there with No Service scrolling across the screen for 15-20 seconds after boot, it shows up Verizon Wireless immediately.

In fact on reboot it doesn't sit there with No Service scrolling across the screen for 15-20 seconds after boot, it shows up Verizon Wireless immediately.

Very frustrating for me. This is my only concern with this phone . Im still stuck in 3G after doing the upgrade, hard reset, and popping in a new SIM without dailing 228. I will change my Mobile Netwok settings to yours above.

May you should try reinserting your sim my phone self corrected once my update was done.
Here are my results:
Installed new SIM - same issue
Did a network data settings reset
Verizon did a flush and reinitialize of my account.
Still same result.
Don't know exactly how or why but about 10 mins later I noticed my phone was OFF.
I powered back up and MOST issues we're gone.
The final fix was to go into developer options and turn on "cellular data always active"
Working great on LTE+

Try putting it in "4G/LTE", wait for it to connect, then back to Global.
After I posted my above message, I did go mucking around in the settings and got it stuck in 3G (even after reboots, etc), then corrected it by doing this.
And quick clarification for the post above this one, it is "Mobile Data Always Active", mine was already on and I never modified it, so that must be the default.
