hi, cableguychad.. 'mobile networks' in Wireless & Networks is greyed out. i cant access it to access apn. what do i do?

I would try reflashing rom with your sim card inserted. I sets apns on first boot of the phone.

Your APN isn't set to pick up T-Mobile signal so you will have to edit the APN

Try searching, I typed "T-mobile apn" into google and found answers in seconds, far easier than waiting for someone to reply with the answer here.

How did you root? Are you sure you're sim unlocked and carrier unlocked? APN should have nothing to do with making calls; APNs are for data connections.

hi, gene poole.. i used the HTC Inspire/DHD Hack Kit found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352
if APNs is for data, then why the hell did the other forum members on this thread give me idiotic advice on settings APNs knowing i cant make calls?
anyway gene ppoole, i cant make calls. sometimes the tmobile logo appears on the top left corner.. then it disappears. and i made a call that lasted only 15 secs. then i wasnt able to make another call. this is strange. what must i do?

Could we get some background on all this? Where did you get the phone (it's an AT&T phone and you're T-Mobile--why)? Was it damaged, or damaged and repaired? Was it used? Was it obtained from a friend? Craigslist?
I ask because it sounds like there's some problem with the phone's hardware to me. It may be something as simple as a loose connection (if the phone was disassembled for repaires, i.e.). It might be worse. Is it warrantied?

hi gene poole. i got the phone through craigslist. the guy who sold it to me said it was brand new. and it doesnt have any scratches on it whatsoever. everything looks perfect.
as far as warranty, i'm not sure. this is something i can check. but again, the phone looks brand new. i got it with the box and manuals and everything included.
i did flash it 3 times on 3 different roms. and it still gives me the same issue. do you think i should take it in for repairs? if so, where can i get the stock rom so it doesnt look like i broke the warranty?
or maybe i should re-root it and s-off again? maybe this will solve it?

How did you go about rooting it? It might not have gotten sim unlocked and/or carrier unlocked.

hi gene poole.. or, it might not have gotten the sim unlocked properly since the tmobile signal comes and goes sporadically. i made a call that lasted 10 secs before the call dropped. and when i try to call, the call drops immediately. most of the time i cant make calls. and the tmobiile logo appears then disappears from the upper left hand corner.
i rooted it using HTC Inspire/DHD Hack Kit V12.3. the link is below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352
i think i should unlock it with another tool. can you provide me with a tool that will unlock and re-root the phone? i really need to solve this issue.. thank you gene poole..

This has proven to be the preferred method of rooting/unlocking. I agree with gene poole that it sounds like either the unlocking step of the root process wasn't done completely or at all. I suggest returning to stock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208507) and trying again.

I'm still leaning toward a hardware issue. Do you have a friend with an AT&T SIM that could let you borrow it to see if it does wonky stuff with a native SIM?

Is it possible that he had a bad flash of a radio somewhere along the line that would cause it? OP - did you try flashing any radios after rooting?

Just got HTC Sensation but it's...IMEI blocked

Hi, yesterday I bought a phone from craiglist (it was stuck in a bootloop so I fixed it) once I got it fixed I rooted the phone again and flashed the custom rom.
When it started it said that it's network blocked so I unlocked the phone using PG58DIAG.nbh (could this be the issue?)
Now I can't make any calls or send any messages BUT I still have a signal. When I want to make a call all I can hear is a small beep and then it ends the call.
Do you think that I could call HTC and say that I can't turn the phone on? After putting it to stock rom and turning S-ON again.
Or is there any way to unblock the IMEI legally? Maybe going to the town centre to guys with the stall?

Hi,
IMEI blocked sounds like a stolen phone to me...

Yeah, it was listed as bricked and since I know something about Android phones I bought it for a good price. Well after I have unbricked it I got this surprise :\
Any ideas about how to get around it? I don't really want to return it to HTC or Provider since I have actually bought it.

Hi,
Nothing that we could legally talk about on XDA...

Yeah, I get what you mean. But do you think that if I put S-ON etc. Would HTC accept the return?

Getting Cell Service with NO SIM! And some other guys number ! Help

I just bought a phone the guy who made no mention of the fact that it was rooted when I bought it. What is worse is he mentioned that his GF worked for Verizon, which did not seem to mean much at the time. Knowing that here is what i'm dealing with.
I was in a rush when I checked out the phone as I had to meet another person to pick one up for my wife as well. It's the sch-i575 in white 16gb. After having a minute to look at the phone it turns out he had Paranoid Android flashed and the phone was rooted. CRAP! Not what I was looking for and he was not upfront about it. The incredibly strange thing was that with NO SIMCARD the phone was getting 3g signal! I spent all night trying to unroot \ undo what he did. I managed to use ODIN to get back to the stock rom although I think it's still a rooted one since I still have the super user app. I got a sim card from verizon but since it was rooted I did not bring the phone in and when I tried to activate later it would not activate. My wife's by the way is working flawless and when I put my sim in her phone it works fine as well. I had to put the sim in my wife's phone and it activated there. Here is the crazy thing, with or with out a simcard the phone makes calls and has 3g internet only but when I make a call it uses HIS NUMBER!! I'm not sure what the hell to do, what could have he done? Any ideas? Please all help is appreciated! I did not think this was even possible for the phone to function w/o a sim. I'm worried about taking it in to Verizon because of the funkiness. Ty again for any insight...

I thought the I575 was an old slide phone. So A. your in the wrong section of the forum since this is Verizon's S3 or B. you mentioned the wrong device number? I saw phones before working and running on networks without sim-cards but that was years ago. If it is an S3, you sure it's a Verizon device? Also since you see 3g....can you browse around in the browser or make a phone call?

Yes, it's a galaxy s3 16gb in white. It looks like currently I was using the tar66 using ODIN. I'm reverting back to the bone stock one now. As far as the models go isn't the SCH-I575 the Verizon version of the S3?
I'm waiting on the stock unrooted rom to take through ODIN and will report back. Thank you for taking the time to try and help.
Ohh, yes the internet works and when I make phone calls with or with out my sim in it makes calls successfully but the other guys number shows up. What the heck did this guy do to the phone!

Our model is the SCH-i535

You are obviously absolutley correct. I'm frantically trying to figure this out. I have flashed the stock rom and don't have super user anymore. The problem persists with the guys number.
Could he have flashed a custom kernel and modem or does reverting back using the stock rom cover all that ?

The one i linked covers all that and completely erases all data on the phone. Did you insert your sim after the stock flash?

I just double checked and I had the I535VRLAG1 version, yours is the I535VRALF2 in the link you posted trying this now. The crazy thing is that it even says that the sim is activated with MY number! but the calls are still comming from him. I even tried wiping the device and clearing the cache. I also tried to JUST flash the modem with VRLG1.modem.tar.md5 and nothing :\. Waiting on the file from your link to download and will try that.
Is it possible that this is being caused by something on Verizon's end? The phone ( with out the SIM ) is registered to him somehow? I know this is not normal but because his GF worked for Verizon could they have done something funky?

Yeah its definitely possible its from something she did to the phone but most likely nothing from Verizon's end. Does the IMEI number under status match the IMEI number under the battery?

Yes IMEI is the same in the OS as behind the battery.
The curious thing is that on the same screen in the OS where you find the IMEI there is also a field called Network and it says " Unknown"
It also has things like:
Eri v : 5
Mobile network type : EvDo-rev.a:8
The thing I keep coming back to is how is it possible for this phone to make calls\ have data with out a sim?
Starting to really think I got cheated

Cheated? Sounds like you have free Verizon service.
Roll with it. If you really want a bill you can have mine...

Just did and the same thing happened. I went to the Verizon store and the guy there had no idea and got me in touch with tech support from the store. They were dumbfounded and flat out said that what is happening is impossible. "It's impossible to make\receive phone calls with out a sim unless they are emergency" I harped on the fact that I am making phone calls as one of their other customers and that this is a big deal. In the end since I had the insurance and extended warranty they will ship me a new phone.

Call Waiting?

Not sure if this is a carrier thing or the device? I switched from AT&T to Verizon when this device came out. When on a call and a call comes in I place original call on hold and answer incoming call. If I then hang up on that call it hangs up on both people. Is there no call waiting?
Never had to tell someone they need to hang up so I can switch back to the other person on hold. Seems like either a bad carrier issue or bug? Never had CDMA carrier before so hopefully not an issue I'm stuck with?

This is a CDMA bug since it happens with Sprint as well. I was like you, I switched over from AT&T about 4 years ago. It absolutely drove me crazy for about a year until I just finally gave up and accepted it. I'm hoping that things will chnage when VoLTE becomes the standard:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

If you have Sprint dial *38 and/or *720 to restore your call waiting. And for other mobile companies ##21#. But you can read through and find the correct deactivation. The problem happens because somehow call forwarding was active. I think it happened for me when I used my sprint number as my Google Voice number.

Axon 7 mini b2017g verizon

10-23-17 Just an update this phone from best buy will work straight out of box with verizon no tricks as far as calls and texts other than you will have to set apn...
I could not get data to work at all with marshmallow but had no trouble calling and texting although it did show roaming with verizon but it's not an issue....
Upgraded to nougat and it would recognize verizon 4glte but verizon wouldn't let it connect to network so couldn't call or txt anymore...
Didn't root or anything fancy only had five days to play with it but now I'm willing to spend the extra for the regular 7 if i can still find one lol since how impressive the mini was....But if your not interested in updating to nougat and having call service everywhere pretty much it's a great phone indeed

No sir I think the nougat update has something in it to where it doesn't pick up Verizon's 1x maybe disabled it I believe it's something in the update to nougat cause calls and texts worked before just showed roaming so there's gotta be a magic trick somewhere to work again...as far as data without verizon accepting the device not so sure of a fix without maybe getting into something illegal such as changing imei maybe to a authorized one but even then I dunno if that would work nor pass prechecks ... but I returned phone to spend extra on the regular 7 soon as I have the money cause I really liked the mini so the regular 7 has to be even better ...

When I got my phone back in June, it was on MM. If I put my verizon sim and try to make a call, it would tell "unsupported device". Trying to activate online/at store yielded the same result. Moved to Tmobile cause of that and dont regret xD
