Hey guys, today I installed a new game and started it and came to the screen where you download game files and got "No Wi-Fi Connection"
Then I pressed the home button but my phone froze so after waiting some minutes I took out the battery and booted it.
Since then its in the Airplane Mode and nothing will turn it off..
I wiped dalvik, data, even flashed a new ROM but NOTHING.
Then I took the SIM from a different phone and the airplane mode was turned off and everything worked.
So what you guys think the problem is ?
I mean a game cant mess up my SIM Card right ?
It's possible that the game messed up a setting on the phone that lead to a SIM card defect.
Tried the SIM card in another phone?
a) If it's working, try reinserting into your phone and booting again. Sometimes it's just the swapping fixing your SIM again (registering to a new phone with the carrier)
b) If it's not working, I'd exchange the SIM.
a2) In case a) didn't fix it: factory reset, battery pull for 30mins, in case those two fail as well --> b).
Nothing worked :/
I guess I got to change it

A couple of times now, when I'm out and about I lose my cellular data connection. It just stops working. In the past on other devices when this has happened a reboot will usually fix it. But on my Atrix 2, when I reboot the phone comes one with Airplane Mode enabled (please note that I did not turn on Airplane mode). If I try to turn Airplane Mode off, it will just sit and say "Enabling wireless connections" but never actually turn them on. I have to actually do a battery pull to fix this problem. The first time it happened I went and got a new SIM card (as mine was pretty old), and it just happened to me again this afternoon. I'm past my 30 day return policy (bought the phone at Best Buy) so I can't return it.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this?
Just to reiterate, I did not turn on Airplane Mode, the phone powers on with it enabled and then won't actually turn off Airplane Mode when I tell it to.
i have the same problem too. After it happens couple times, i find out it might be the problem from the at&t address book issue which cause the phone cant read the sim for some reason (as it result, airplane mode keep enable). I also believe it is because the phone has been unlocked so the at&t address book crash. Is your phone unlocked?
Well, i am not quite sure it work on ur phone, but here is how i do it usually.
Way 1- plugin another sim card(sometimes i dun even need to do it), load the at&t address book, it will force the phone to load sim card cause of the contact from sim (then it should work right after that or after reboot)
Way 2- pull the battery for 1 day, it will work after that(but this is kinda dumb)
Hope this can help you XD.

My phone is not unlocked. I could see the AT&T Address book thing contributing, I've NEVER had that thing work right, and thus I don't even have it set up on my phone (it's on there in my Accounts, but it's not configured that I know of because i do my contact syncing through Google).
Battery pull definitely solves the problem, at least temporarily. The only other SIM I have is the old one they took out when they replaced the SIM after this happened the first time. I also don't store any contacts on my sim (again use google for that), so I don't know if doing a SIM swap would solve the problem in a more permanent way since I've basically already done that.
I tried battery pull, but it doesn't work sometimes. The reason i run at&t address book because it would force the phone to detect the sim again(cause of the contact). Lucky it doesn't always happen. hoping Motorola can fix this issue on next update.
**I just think about it, it might be some stupid mistake from motorola that overwrite the memory about the phone status section.
have you guys tried factory resetting it?
I tried to reset but it doesn't help at all
Sent from my MB865 using XDA App
how about freezing or removing the apps from att?

Hmm, I did this just yesterday, I'll give it a week or so and see if the issue happens again after setting my contact storage to my Google account.

ok just inform us what happens.
I have and identical problem.
My phone would turn with the Airplane mode ON and I can't deactivate it, or even if it shows I can, it's not in the menu and I won't get any signal.
I can't recall If it happened because of a change but I doubt so.
I tried factory reset / cache / dalvik, also flashing numerous rom from neutrino to cm7 to cm9 and even MIUI (which worked the first time I flashed it for a day and then same error).
And It will also occasionnaly reboot If I try too hard checking for networks and such.
Any help ?
While navigating the hboot menus on my HTC Desire S, 2.3.5 Stock, Sense 3.0, I accidentaly pressed "simlock|"
It reported:
FAT32 init OK
Open MCCMNC file fail
Open CID file fail
It has definitely messed something up: my phone boots, accepts my SIM pin, unlocks my SIM, displays my Mobile Provider as one of the network options to connect to, but fails to register with the network every time.
So it doesn't mention that the phone is locked, or ask me to enter an unlock code or anything... but the sim that was previously working is now not working at all...
Any ideas? Will an RUU or anything get my phone back to a working unlocked state?
First of all I would try this: remove SIM card, SD card and battery (everything actually), put them back and reboot the phone to see what happen.
As the last resort, If you don't mind reinstall all your apps and data (it will erase everything), you could simply execute and hard reset:

Thanks - did that - but no luck - the phone totally reverted to factory settings, but the SIM is still not registering on the network... it seems a change has taken place at an even lower level...
The error that you wrote gives you "fail". Doesn't look like it has been done something to the phone.
Do you have any other option in hboot?
How about turn off the radio a couple of times (airplane mode) then reboot?
I found this by the way:
http://www.simonjstuart.com/2011/05...not-allow-a-connection-to-this-network-error/
I remember I solve it by playing with airplane mode and turn off the phone few times, with my friend Desire S.
It definitely did something - for 4 hours, no ability to get onto mobile network. Seems it mayt have actually modified the SIM card. I managed to get it working again - I put the SIM in another phone, booted, and then put it back in my phone and it's working again - do you think that's possibly what fixed it?
Could it be.. you never know..
That's interesting thus, looks like the SIM card got somehow "resetted" by the other phone.
I'll keep this in mind for the future.
So out of nowhere today, i awaken my phone and I see an error "SIM card removed, reboot phone" I reboot the phone and now I have no signal and a SIM card symbol in the notification bar. I didnt remove the SIM so I dont know what happened or how to fix it. Anyone know how to fix this?
EDIT*** Nevermind. I removed the sim, then put it back and that solved the problem. Probably should have tried that before posting lol
happened to me a week ago. I was puzzled. I removed the sim and battery at the same time like 10 times. So I flashed back to stock and took it in. The guy plugs the phone in (probably checking for root) and then unplugs pulls the sim and battery and turns it back on. All working like nothing happened.
I can't get a signal on my phone. It keeps showing the "emergency calls only" message. When I try to call someone, it shows an error message: "network not registered".
Weird thing is, it was working flawlessly a few hours ago. I didn't mod it, nothing is different. I just charged it and rebooted.
I tried toggling airplane mode on/off, factory reseting, and it didn't fix my problem. My IMEI shows up correctly on settings, and the phone is being used in the same region I bought it.
OBS: If I put the sim card on another phone, it works. When i put it back on the s6, it keeps working until i reboot it, and after that it doesnt register on the carrier network anymore.
Anyone can help me with this?
No one?
I've exhausted all my known options! I can't keep a phone that can't even be turned off. If the phone freezes, that means I'll not have a signal until i can find another phone to put my sim on, and then back again on mine...
I'd really appreciate some help, since support where I live is crappy and chances are that i'll have to take the loss on the defective phone if I can't fix it.
Went to the carrier, tried other sims, even other carriers sims. Still nothing.
You can't get warranty from who you bought it from or else samsung? it sounds like a defect somewhere, if you are lucky it could just be the simcard tray but else it is something inside the phone
I have a new sim card, it works great with my other phone,
but my oneplus One does make an issue out of it.
I just did a factory reset and it finally worked after trying every other trick (airplane mode on/off, taking out the sim card...)
I tried other sims and they do work 2/4, the sim out of my other phone didn't.
I have no idea whats wrong with my phone.
I am trying to factory reset it one last time, as I suppose it's taking my old apn setting from my google account.
I will try to go without play store for awhile if that works.
EDIT: ok, this didn't work. I didn't even connect to wifi this time, maybe the sim's dead?
But why is it still recognized by my other phone?
EDIT2: Just called the carrier, the issue is with my phone, as they do not block any models and oneplus one usually works with them.

I spent 48h to fix it...^^
