Check your IMEI by pressing *#06# and see if it matches to one printed in back after u remove battery.

Oh I did that.. they are worse than the fools at the store.. lol
Sim card was switched so must go thru the switch to have lte data enabled and enabled to your account. Also, unfreeze your visual voicemail.

I did a million times.. take battery out.. etc.. rebooted via cvm as well..
I might dump this and get a Galaxy s2 and have fun..
Still no data.. its been over 12 hours without any data...
Should I have purchased the Galaxy s2 instead?
Same thing happens to me today, I flashed back to stock and nothing, also changed sim card and re-register the IMEI, AT&T tech support on phone find there are a problem with APN "pta" because he create a "phone" APN and bring back 4g data but no LTE, it looks like we have some type of problem on the "pta" signal.

Wow.. I'm glad I'm not crazy.. this sucks... I hope this Lte is not a smoke and mirror show... I have replaced the sim card, talked with every tech on the phone, reflashed to stock..nothing as well.
I am going back tomorrow to Att&t store to either get a refund or get a S2.
please, create an APN just to verified we are on the same boat.
Name: ATT
APN: phone
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication: none
APN type: Internet
leave in blank any thing else
report back
Thanks
Hey i'm one of those "fools" in the store haha
Make sure your imei is correct i'm the system as that dictates what data features you have. Also make sure they gave you a 4g lte compatible Sim.

Anyone know a solution for this?

I can't seem to get any service from my carrier. The phone can get reception/signal, it's just the phone displays No Service from the pull down notifications. And when I go into mobile settings and try to search for a network or anything, It says "Error while searching for networks." Is this the antenna problem? Would I have to open up the phone and adjust something? btw does anyone know where the antenna is located at?

Sounds like a hardware defect or Sim card issue.

I unlocked the sidekick, tried a ATT simcard got good reception like Tmobile, but still no service. Do you know where the antenna is in the sidekick?
Its probally an antena prob because surprisingly I droped my old samsung gravity smart in water by accident and my first thought was to take the battery out and let it dry,that succeeded on letting me turn it on fully but I had no reception what so ever which is odd but this sounds off topic a lil but I ended up bricking it o.o normaly t-mobile themselfs sometimes making horrible phones don't get me wrong their good but most of them are 2.2 froyo ._.

Phone cannot use sim

I am on Vodafone and the signal strength is full but the bar is grey (used to be blue). When I attempt to make a call it says something like "Cannot connect to mobile network". I have tried factory reset twice, taking the battery out for over 10 minutes and rebooting, toggling airplane mode on and off many times but they all didn't work. Can anyone help? Thanks.
I'm on O2 and had the same problem I went to 02 and thay got me a new phone but I'm on contract so thay had to. Maybe you will be able to get a new phone if that's the problem
Good luck

Just found out that it is something to do with the IMEI number. I will have to somehow change it or do something else to fix it.

No call or txt. Imei in tact

So I have a major problem. I am on beans 4 And have data but no call or text. The signal shows fill. And all the settings have my imei in tact and cell service state says in service. Any ideas?

You could download the phone info app from the play store and go into phone in for and make sure the drop down is set to LTE/CDMA/EvDO, or LTE/CDMA.
If that doesn't work, it may need to be reprovisioned.

My replacement S3 had the same problem. Spent over 4 hours on the phone with multiple reps and tried 2 different sim cards. We came to the conclusion that its a radio defect and I got another replacement overnighted to me, you should too.
Great. Thus will be fifth s3 from Verizon. .. I am not allowed to use insurance for another year. .. I had a couple stolen sans some doa. Thanks guys

If you go to settings-about phone-status... What does it say on your ERI?

Reprovision your phone. It may help. There's a dialer code that I can't remember at the moment, but you can Google it.

Eri version 5... I can receive texts. And cannot send them. I am a little afraid to reprovision. Kids there a chance I will lose my data and everything of I reprohision... also will I needed to be on stock recovery for this?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
thats what it should be. so everything sounds in tack. i say reprovision. even after i lost my imei and eri, i had to restore them both, still nothing. then reprovisioned and was fine.
I had the same problem. No calls or text. Verizon put in a ticket for me. But I decided to restore my IMEI even though it wasn't missing. It fixed the problem. Phone works fine now.
I fixed this problem

I had this exact problem. Did a re-provision and it fixed.
To re-provision type: *2767*3855# in dialer. When you press the # it immediately goes to reformat with no popup, so be aware before you go in. That's the only other suggestion I would have as far as possible data issues, I know mine is normal (and I'm in a slightly fringe 4G area - they are still testing the towers here, they aren't official yet)

I had this problem on my previous phone, just enter a sim's number and put the sim in some random phone, wait for the text message with the activation code and boom, you can WhatsApp when you have wi-fi!

Cheers, but ive tried that and there is no option to enter the code, as now it tried to do it automatically, or get you to request a phone call and listen for the number.
was thinking of maybe trying to install a really old version of whatsapp, any idea where i could find an apk?

No, that doesn't work, just wait out the 5 mins and then it will offer you to either call you or enter the code.
