Hi,
I just got SGS2 on ebay, I put a at&t sim in it and it worked good for a day, suddenly the internet stopped, even though I see the 3g or H+ icons.
I thought that maybe I changes a setting, did factory reset, but still can't get the ineternet to work, I put the sim in another sgs2 and it works, apn settings looks the same as on the other phone.
Is there any utility that i can use to check where is the problem, I see the little arrows near the 3g/h+ icons flashing up (green) down (orange), so I am guessing it is some kind of proxy issue, can anyone help?

It could be a problem with the network rather than your phone try calling them.
problem is not with network
I am pretty sure in that, I put the sim in another sgs2 and it works like a magic
PLEASE HELP
Guys you are my last hope, before I declare this thing as a brick

Hey guys,
First post here, so not 100% sure if its in the right spot. Gotta bit of a weird problem with my new S710. Got it on Monday with everything working fine. Then one night I was surfing the net testing out the EDGE and WiFi and the phone froze. I rebooted but when it came back on it couldnt pick up my network
I've gone over settings over and over again, called my SP, the place I bought as well as HTC and they cant give me a proper answer that I can pin point the issue and fix it. Also tried flashing ROM's to WM 6.1, back to 6.0 standard but nothing happening. Now the weird thing is, my SIM works in other phones, and other SIM's work in my phone. Its just my SIM that isnt working
The furthest I can get to is trying to turn the phone functionality on, which just stays on off.....
Any suggestions? Help is much appreciated. Thanks guys
I have also faced similar problems from my previous prepaid Connection in AirTel. I roam a lot in a particular place, my AirTel prepaid will display no signal while the post paid one will show signal, not full though. And yes I have seen the same thing after swapping the SIMs. At another place, my prepaid SIM will show SIM ERROR . So try changing your SIM from your service provider.
Well, so are I can tell you that the Vox is a little bit picky about SIM-Cards. Fireburned's SIM doesn't work with my Rose ROM for instance! Maybe you just got a "Monday"-SIM/V ox

Its a damn weird problem....
For interests sake what kinda SIM are you using? 32k or 64? Is it 3G enabled?
I know the S710 doesnt support 3G, but maybe thats whats causing the problem. Im gonna try go to my SP tomorrow or Monday to get my SIM swapped out. Maybe I should try another ROM, see if that makes a difference....
Thanks for the reply

Seems so. I've Googled myself to death and found a few similar problems to what Im having. Its just really strange it worked, and then did
The other day it happened for the first time, 2nd day I had the phone. I freaked, with it being my first smart phone and whatever. LOL
I did some ##022# trick, which apparently re-connects me to my SP, that worked. Hasnt worked this time....
I'll flash another ROM onto my phone, will let you guys know if it changes anything
Its a 32K SIM. In India There is no 3G . And hence most of the SIMs are not 3G ready. Mine was not 3G ready either.
If you want to try another ROM, I would suggest to go for fb's Clean ROM or fh's Lite ROM, you will not find fh's ROM in a thread, but you will find it's hyperlink in his signature .

OK cool stuff. I'll try see if I can get a 32k SIM, just to be safe and I'll ask em to not enable 3G. Dont use it really anyway
Thanks again for the help mate
Im hoping someone can shed some light on a problem that is driving me insane! I've looked/searched the forums but cant find an answer so am hoping someone will answer this thread.
I am on an orange contract so have an orange sim. Ive just been given a new 02 xda serra by my brother. (he bought it for his girlfriend but then she dumped him - her loss; my gain bless him ).
Here's the problem:
Anyway, I unpacked it, switched it on and it ran through the whole set up process and loaded 02 customisation on it. Then i put my orange sim in and is says NO SERVICE. I just get the signal icon with an x. The orange sim works in other unlocked phones. Both PAYG and contract. Other network sims also register in this XDA Serra. Ive tried Virgin, O2, Tesco and T-Mobile - all fine, connect and work fine for calls/texts. It seems that the only sim that doesnt work is Orange!!!!
Here's what Ive done to try and resolve it:
Ive been through phone settings and manually selected the orange network. I get a message saying that it is 'REGISTERING ON THE NETWORK' then after a few minutes get another message that says 'UNABLE TO REGISTER ON THE NETWORK, TRY ANOTHER PROVIDER OR SWITCH OF DATA CONNECTION AND TRY AGAIN'. Ive checked in comms and data connection is off. A message tells me that
THERE ARE NO DATA SESSIONS ACTIVE.
Ive hard reset with my orange sim in - I still got 02 setup and no service with orange. I also noticed that after hard reset it prompts for a network as part of the reconfig/setup process but all the options are O2 and appear to be PAYG. I dont know if that makes any difference. It also has an option to remove all settings, I tried this too but still get no service.
Can you help?
I want to know, if this is a setting problem that can be easily fixed? Have I got something turned on/off somewhere that if I adjust, will fix this problem? Do I need to unlock the handset? [Im a complete novice]. Or is it broken?
Failing that, is there someone around the Portsmouth/Havant/Waterlooville/Hampshire area that has experience of 'cooking' these phones and is willing to help me make it work/set it up with whatever it needs?
If it helps, when I switch it on I can see that:
R: 1.02.25.19
G: 52.33.25.17H
D: 1.90.00.00
If you need any more info please ask.
Here's hoping someone smarter than me can figure this out before I pull all my hair out and end up looking like my dad
Absolutely nothing springs to mind but to stop the O2 customisation happening after a hard reset, perform a soft reset in the three second window when it says "custom configuration" or some similar message. I used to do this on my Alpine and it left me with a working Alpine without the O2 garbage.
It's just possible that stopping the O2 stuff installing, and i am guessing that will also include network settings, may enable your orange SIM to get it's feet in the door and let it all work.
Another suggestion would be to flash it with a network neutral ROM from here. It looks as though the Serra is actually Raphael, aka Touch Pro, so go and search in there.
Good luck and persevere, you will get there.
thank you for replying to my question. I tried the hard + soft reset you suggested and it did get rid of the O2 customIsation but unfortunately I still cant get connection using my orange sim. Network still not registering. Screen shows device unlocked.
Since my original post Ive tried an orange PAYG sim rather than my contract one but still no different. So my problem remains.
Im nervous about flashing a new ROM on my own in case I screw my phone up which is why Im asking if theres anyone experienced nearby who can guide me.
Thank you for your encouragement, I will keep trying.
So the CDMA TP2 has a sim card slot in them so they would work as gsm devices if unlocked. I bought one for a month and now im having some issues with it lol. Everything runs fine but this one problem. When i go somewhere and lose signal for over 1min or so i get a 1x. once i regain signal and receive some bars the 1x is still there instead of E or G. The 1x is a problem for me because i cant receive or send messages and phone calls with it. Only way i know that fixes it is to reset the phone but does anyone know how to fix it, fix it? Like a change of settings or installing a .cab file that would fix the problem? or would this be a radio issue?
sorry lol i feel stupid. Its my first time having a cdma/gsm phone so i started exploring the phone settings. turns out i didnt change the baseband to GSM.
change your network settings to gsm and not global
Hello, I just got the my touch 4g slide from a friend. It worked great tell I went to a friends house. I had little or no reception there then, when I went home, I continued to have no signal. I have tied factory reset, pulled sims card out, and got a new one. So I think it is the phone. Have u guys heard of this problem or know how to fix it, it would really help out. Another when I go under network I try to connect to tmoble but it says this sims card can not connect to network, also under network details it says. UnknowN network. Sorry this keeyboard kinda sucks..

Have you tried setting up another APN like in this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2003318
Hello,
I am from India. I had purchased a Google Nexus 5 phone (Black/ 32GB) last year (December 20th, 2013)
I have started facing a serious issue since yesterday. My entire mobile network went down all of a sudden. Tried using other SIM but of no use. The same SIM works fine in other phone. Other functions including WiFi in Phone works perfectly fine.
A couple of things that I noticed are:
1) When I try to search for the Network manually, I get the message "Error while searching for Network".
2) I noticed that the PREFERRED NETWORK TYPE is defaulted to LTE. I cannot select any other option 2G or 3G.
3) When used Choose Automatically option - it starts with Automatic Registration and then flashes an error "Can't connect to this network right now try again later"
I tried doing a Factory reset hoping that it would work. But, no success. Have contacted LG Direct Service Center (since I bought it from retailer and not from GooglePlay store) and they suggested it's a PCB problem and it needs to replaced which would cost me around 12K INR. Which I am not ready for.
Please let me know what needs to be done. Any help is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Vijay

He's clearly not in airplane mode.
I have tried with all basic troubleshooting options, kindly check the attached screenshots. Please please help needed urgently.
I was going to make a new thread, but his problem matches mine almost exactly.
Hi guys, i have this problem for over a week now.. A very frustrating week i must say. I got this n5 about a month ago, my uncle got himself a G3 and gave his nexus to me.
Everything was smooth, amazed by the phone, everything working fine, happy as hell. It all crumbled when I went to spend the holidays at my brothers, where he lives my carrier doesn't work (everyone uses another one). When i got back to my house where the mobile network works fine it just stopped. All other sims would work on my phone and my sim work on other phones.
I gave it a time, thought it would be cause i spent too much time on my brothers and it would be ok after a while. It didn't. Then i started to worry and try to fix it somehow. First i got a new simcard (same carrier), no bueno. They told me to restore my phone and stuff, it didn't work. The phone has always that empty triangle, doesn't matter if it's 3G, 4G or 2G.
So I came to the internet look for help. I saw that some people had bring this to the LG, their response was to do a recovery with fastboot and then put 2G on the mobile network. For a moment i thought it was over, my phone finally had some bars !! But to my disgrace I can't make nor receive calls, i can only send/receive SMS and access internet thru 4G, not 2G as the support said. Oh, if i put 3G or 2G dem bars go missing and the empty triangle ****er appears again. Still, my simcard works on every other phone but now only one carrier works on my phone (not mine unfortunately).
Then I started looking on forums like this one and a whole bunch of others and tried many things, all of them unsuccessful.
I tried many things, maybe forgot some but will list those that i remember.
I tried to flash the factory rom. Then tried to flash only the radio of previous androids (tried too many of them to count). Dialed that *#*#4636*#*# or smth, put LTE/GSM, only LTE, activated/deactivated radio. Airplane mode on/off. Tried to recovery on fastboot again. Tried to make new APN. To finish my story, put a Cyanogemod rom and it also didn't work.
So now i decided to post here as my last shot before i go to that carrier that still works. Also, what guarantees that this carrier won't stop working like the others? I'm afraid that may happen. Further informations, i saw many people complaining about T-Mobile and other carries, but I'm brazilian, so it's not one of these. My carrier is Oi and the one that still works is TIM.
The two threads i got most tips were these and some sites in portuguese:
