[Q] Nexus S cant get telco line - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys,
I have some trouble here, which needs kinda urgent attention. My Nexus S suddenly cant get any lines for telco, which make me unable to make any phone call. It's weird as this suddenly happened and i have no idea what's going on. Previously my phone was working perfectly! I have checked that airplane mode is always turned off. I also tried to re-flash my rom to another rom but same thing happened. Is there any problem with my phone? or is it broken already
someone?
Thanks.

Texting and data works? Have you tried calling your provider?

[Q] Need help!! Data randomly stopped working....

Hey guys,
I was running Eaglesblood 2.4 with faux's kernel and all of a sudden my data connection just stopped working. I tried everything, rebooting, hard rebooting, fixing permissions etc.. and nothing worked. All the while I was searching online to see if T-mobile was experiencing a data outage in my area, but nothing. I flashed Eaglesblood again thinking that maybe that would re-set everything but still no data. I then thought maybe it was an issue with Eaglesblood so I flashed the cm7 stable rom doing everything correctly. Still no data. Nothing's working. Anybody have any idea what might be wrong and how I should fix this?
Thanks for the help!
Have you tried a wifi connection? If that doesn't work either then maybe something hardware related went. Hope not though.

yea wifi works but wifi calling doesn't. its just says "connection error" when i try to get it going. Also, when i go to call settings>additional settings, i get this message: call settings error (network or sim card error). Not sure whats goin on, it just happened suddenly which is the most weird part.
Sim card might have crapped out. Have someone else's or a different tmobile phone you can test it in?

ya im gonna try my sim in another phone. good call. seems like thats the only thing it could be at this point
well i tried my sim card in my old unlocked blackberry bold 9000 and after the phone says "searching for a signal" i just get the "sim card rejected" message. so yea I'm thinking it must be an issue with my sim card...
That sucks. Give T-Mobile a call and have them check your account first to make sure it isn't a problem on their end.

i got a new sim card this morning and everything is fine now! Thanks for the advice

Verizon GS3 stuck on 3g

Second day owning this device and love it so far, but day two has been rough. I am stuck on 3g. All of a sudden today my lte switched and will not go back. Iv'e rebooted, toggled airplane mode and data. Even pulled the sim. I live in a strong 4g area so that is not the problem. My buddy has a nexus and his is fine. I also have had great reception in areas I have always had problems, so not a reception issue. I called verizon and was told it is a know issue that is normally solved with a reboot. She said an update was scheduled for early September to fix the issue. The point of this thread is to find out if anyone else has had this problem, or found a solution.
Edit: After countless toggling I got it back to 4g, but it won't connect to the network. So my thought is that the sim card is trashed. Going to get a new sim card first thing in the morning.

I don't have the exact problem i did notice mine switches from lte to 3g all the time and it stays 3g until i change it back and reboot.

Unfortunately I am also finding myself stuck in 3g. I have pulled the battery, installed a new ROM. Still working on it, not thrilled. Prior to 4g disappearing, it showed 4g, however I was unable to connect over it. I hope this isn't a hardware issue.

Did this work?
Just FYI, I have the SCH-i535 and am noticing similar behavior. I had a Samsung Droid Charge before the SGS3, and it stayed locked to 4G LTE in the same exact areas of my home. If my Charge did happen to drop 4G, it would always come back. But not with my SCH-i535. Once 4G drops it stays on 3G until I reboot the phone. So far, this is my only complaint about this phone.
It is very random for me. Im certain its a **** sim card. Right now its fine, but at any time it may get stuck on 3g. Also while at work the first couple of days it would hold a decent 3g signal, now its primarily on 1x. Once i replace the sim card I am hopeful for it to be fine.

I thought Verizon said that this was a known issue? I'm just curious as to why you would disagree. But if a new SIM does happen to fix the problem, please let us know.
Just a heads up! I have the same issue, but I can't get 4g back at all, which I thought stemmed from flashing CM9, but this thread is making me wonder now! I spent an hour on the phone with Verizon technical support and they said you will get a popup if the sim is the issue. They told me its the phone and they are sending me a new one. FYI you can try this code. *2767*3855# in the dialer to factory reset the phone ( can do the same in recovery ofcourse), but you HAVE to be running STOCK UNROOTED! Some people have had luck with this "resetting" the radio I guess. If this doesnt work, might as well call them and get a new phone coming. TRUST ME, I believe I did everything I could think of before calling them, except taking the phone apart and pulling a new radio out of my ass!! Lol
I'd just return the phone and get a new one if possible.
They did tell me it was known issue. Its just weird how random it is. I am hopeful it is either the sim card of a software issue. I hope it is not a hardware issue. I would rather not have my phone replaced as I just put a new screen protector on. Also to those getting a replacement, is it brand new or a certified like new device?

I did read in another forum that the replacement phones are coming out with a baseband update. I'm guessing that we will probably need to exchange our phones...or be patient for the OTA. Hopefully it won't be too much longer. Incidentally, I just did a factory reset and 4G now appears to be working. Time will tell...

I also flashed CM9, and I am fairly certain this was the cause of my problems. Nothing I did would make 4G work again.
Other 4G VZW devices seemed to work fine at the same time(I have an ipad3 for work, POS).
I didn't mess with it for a couple of hours while running errands, then all of the sudden it was working again. Been fine ever since as far as I can tell. It would be nice to know what exactly is causing this, but for now I'd caution against messing with cm9 .

Maybe att is down/working on tours in your area??? I'm really kinda clueless my self since you said you went back to stock and still had the same problem...
Go to settings, about phone, status and check and make sure your imei still looks normal
Could also maybe be a hardware failure?

i was scared that my imei was going to be blank but it looks normal im on the phone with them now and they said my phone number was suspended temp. apparently the phone i bought on CL was stolen but they dont even have the IMEI for my infuse .... they said im still using my atrix 2 .... what the **** .. Man im really pissed
EDIT - ugh what the hell the phone was reported stolen so my number is black listed for 24 hours and ATT is investigating it to see if i can use the phone . Today is one bad day ... shouldve just bought a nexus from google .
Get Google Voice and set it up on you PC. Select a new number and then get an app like Talkatone and continue on without AT&T.

[Q] Need help with Fujitsu F-02e

I have the F-02E. I set up the APN for T-mobile UK and things were fine until i switched wifi on and the signal disappeared. i restarted the phone disabling wifi before hand. it was working fine.....is there a way to sort this out.
Another problem is when i open whatsapp to verify my number, it failed the first time with sms due to signal disappearing, second time it asked to call, the second i click the call button signal disappears and i can't receive or make calls, i have tested this several times, waited an hour pressed the button waited 10 mins pressed the button, same thing happens.....Any ideas as to why?
Hey man,
Did you manage to sort this. I am sort off ordered this phone. Does this support 3g mobile data? I am in the UK. How is this phone for general use?

I know it's too late now to advise you. Are you enjoying the phone?
I bought mine mainly because of the camera and screen. I am not disappointed with the screen but cannot say the same about the camera. The camera software is a joke with very loud shutter sound that cannot be turned off.
One other thing that bothers me is the heat. When I am using Internet on 3g,it gets so hot and the phone keeps shutting down or else I shut data off or turn on wifi instead. And the battery life is very unimpressive.
I was using galaxy a3 4g, so I was able to see the difference. I respect Samsung more now.
The Fujitsu is a nice phone anyway except for these niggles.

[Q] Nexus S suddenly lost connection to mobile network (can't call, text, use 3G)

My phone suddenly stopped being able to send/receive texts or calls and can't connect to the 3G network -- doesn't seem to be a SIM card issue because when I popped the SIM into an old flip phone, I could call/text. At first the phone looked as if it had full signal and was connected to 3G, but it wouldn't connect when dialing out and couldn't load any websites. I've since reset it (first a factory reset -- still had the same problem, so I did a hard reset) and now I don't even see any signal on the phone. It would work for a few minutes if I turn it off and turn it back on, but then it would suddenly stop working after a few minutes. Has this ever happened to anyone? Does anyone have a solution? Thanks!

network loss in nexus 4
hi , have u resolved your issue because I'm facing the same problem !
check that your phone is showing that you have a baseband and imei number
Yeah, either flash a new radio, or your IMEI number got screwed up somehow and it isn't registering on the network. Let me know if you need links to the Radio forum.
I've got the same problem now, unknown baseband & imei. anyone know how to fix this ?
