[Q] HELP, Phone stuck on Emergency Calls Only - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am actually on holiday, and for the first few days my nexus s (running masters deodexed 2.3.3 with voodoo kernel) was working fine. However for the last day and half, it has been stuck on Emergency Calls only. I have tried everything to fix it, switching to airplane mode, full reboot, going into settings, wireless and networks and manually selecting a network but it still only remains in Emergency mode only.
I pressed *#*#4636#*#* and under phone information, GSM service says Emergency Calls Only
I have tried switching off and on the radio and fiddling with the preferred network type but nothing seems to work. I dont know if this is a roaming issue (i dont think it is because it was working fine initially abroad) but any help will be most appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi, I am having this same problem too. I have the Nexus S from Koodo and it seems like it doesn't "like" my simcard. I also have a fido simcard on me and the Nexus S works fine on my Fido simcard. Today i went to a Koodo store and tried another one of the simcards and it didn't work either. So far I think my Nexus S is defective. You can PM me your email if you like if you want to see if i fix it.

[Q] Problem : No call, no SMS, but 3G ok

Hello, I have a big problem with my Nexus S Eur (I9023 SLCD)
I bought it used but almost new, and no bill…
The phone, not modified, worked fine for 3 months. (2.3.4 GRJ22)
But one day I could no longer use the calls and SMS, while the Internet connection (3G) worked fine.
The majority of other sim cards are not properly recognized, but mine yes, it recognize the PIN code, the network (Numericable, a French MVNO), and correctly read the APNs. I can go on the net with data connection, but no call, no sms… (No MMS in the subscription I chose)
I tried to restore it with ODIN like I read here, it worked fine, but same problem.
I tried Custom ROM, custom Kernels, I tried ALL the radios of the I9023, no change…
When I call, no error it just hangs up the phone.
SMS, it says sms was not sent
The only one error I can read is, when I want to consult the call forwarding settings : “Network or SIM card error”
Any idea?
If the phone is a stolen one, and if the IMEI is blacklisted (3 months after?!?), is it normal that I still use the 3G connection?
The simcard work fine in my old phone
Thanks !
PS : sorry for my english, I do the best I can
No idea?
Maybe Hardware problem?
is the phone rooted?
try the *#*#3646#*#* to select your correct baseband settings.
When the problem started, the phone was rooted
After, I tried rooted and unrooted
With the 4636 I can access to the list of the baseband settings (now GSM/CDMA Auto (PRL) ), but if I change it (GSM only for exemple), it is not saved.... It doen't say anything, but if i quit the 4636 screen and return to it, it is GSM/CDMA Auto again....

Please help! No 3G or GSM, can't call, but LTE works fine.

I really need help with my device, I searched all over XDA and no-one seems to have the same issue as me.
Here is some information:
1) Nexus 6P (H1511)
2) 6.0.1 Absolute stock, no rom, no root, no custom recovery. Build number MMB29P.
Recently got a new Nexus 6P and imported to Russia. All of the major bands here are supported. And the phone worked excellent for a few weeks, but then it lost all 3G or GSM connectivity. Just randomly,didn't do anything with it, the only thing I did is move to another city but than I got back, the issue didn't resolve. LTE works perfectly but can't call or receive calls, can receive sms though. Reseting network settings and factory reset changed nothing. Tried manualy set network to WCDMA or GSM with *#*#4636#*#* command, the moment I switch to anything besides LTE the connection is lost. Contacted the provider, no problem on their side, my SIM works good in other phones, my phone with other SIMs - no.
I don't think it is a hardware issue because a few times I managed to get everything working after an hour of switching networks and bands with no particular order in the *#*#4636#*#* testing mode.
After a while I figured that if I set phone to "GSM only" on USA bands in testing mode, but at the same time set it to "LTE prefered" in the normal network settings menu. I am able to set phone to Band mode 7 and set the network back to 2G in network settings keeping it on " GSM only" the whole time and only after this compicated algorithm and after a reboot 2G and 3G starts working. But any reboot after that revertes everything back to only LTE stage. Also if I get everything working but than reset network settings everything stops working again.
I have no idea what caused such an issue, I really hope someone can help.
Sorry couldn't post screenshots because of the "10 posts rule".

Connection Issues with MetroPCS

Hello everybody,
I have a Verizon HTC One M8 that I'm using with MetroPCS. I'm trying to figure out why I'm having connection issues. The first ROM I tried was Skydragon. It worked very well and I could get voice, MMS, and data to work. The issue was the phone randomly loosing it's connection. Sometimes it would be after a few minutes, sometimes hours, or close to a day. Rebooting the shell would usually be enough to get it to start working, but not always. I tried loading it for T-Mobile, International, and Verizon. The only difference between the three would be the unknown SIM error in the Verizon version. Yesterday I loaded the ViperONE ROM. It seems to reliably keep my voice and MMS functioning, but data has been difficult. I can set APN settings and it will have LTE service for a bit, and then it seems to forget everything and ask me to select my provider again. I get an Install SIM message at random times, and at other times I get a new SIM installed message and it ass me to choose a provider again. I'm going to try Android Revolution next, but I wonder if there is another issue, or if anyone knows what the best ROM is to get this thing working on MetroPCS.

Can't make or receive calls suddenly.

Hey guys,
This morning, my Mate 9 stopped making or receiving calls. 4G data works just fine. I am on AT&T using the chinese version MHA-AL00, been using the phone for few months now without any issues.
When I go to Settings-> More->Mobile Network->Card1 Network->Preferred Network Type and set it to 3G/2G auto or 2G only, my phone doesn't have a signal anymore. Switching to 4G/3G/2G auto brings signal back right away but only data works.
I came across a thread with similar issue on mate 7 but tried what they suggested with no luck
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/help/make-receive-calls-t3245378
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I love this phone, don't want lose it over this issue.
Thank you!
try change the sim card to the other sim slot and see what happens, i have two sims with tmobile and at the beginning my old sim was disconnecting for no reason I went and replaced it and problem was gone.
try airplane mode on, then off

No netwok/Emergency Call only

I was traveling to and from US and India. 2 Days back when I entered London airport for US, my mobile did not show any signal what so ever. It was no service. It was working fine when i boarded the flight in US.
Now following things I have tried according to my knowledge
1. I tried disabling the sim card, changing from 2g-3g- 4g. No improvements.
2. I went to menu by *#*#4636#*#*, and trying radio on and radio off. Nothing
3. I suspected that antenna is damanged and it hardware problem.
4. But then this wired thing happend, while playing around when both the sim are active, I turn of the sim one, the mobile data is switched back to second sim. Then when i again switch back the sim 1, it is automatically configured for 2g. It gets signal, I can make calls and it works good. Moment I switch the mobile data to that sim the network vanishes and back to no service/emergency calls.
5. I figured that there is some problem with the sim, so I inserted that sim into old samsung grand mobile which 3G phone. It works flawlessly.
6. Tried other sims in the moto G, 4g dosent work for some sim cards.
7. By reading on I found that lot of people have this problem and have solved it by flashing firmware. I tried that too. Tried stock rom, new osprey 7.* Nothing seems to be working.
Any thoughts and comments are welcome. I am kind of frustrated by this small bug. Might be lapse on motolora part. If someone is still active in this community please help, reply.
