Hi,
I am actually on holiday, and for the first few days my nexus s (running masters deodexed 2.3.3 with voodoo kernel) was working fine. However for the last day and half, it has been stuck on Emergency Calls only. I have tried everything to fix it, switching to airplane mode, full reboot, going into settings, wireless and networks and manually selecting a network but it still only remains in Emergency mode only.
I pressed *#*#4636#*#* and under phone information, GSM service says Emergency Calls Only
I have tried switching off and on the radio and fiddling with the preferred network type but nothing seems to work. I dont know if this is a roaming issue (i dont think it is because it was working fine initially abroad) but any help will be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Hi, I am having this same problem too. I have the Nexus S from Koodo and it seems like it doesn't "like" my simcard. I also have a fido simcard on me and the Nexus S works fine on my Fido simcard. Today i went to a Koodo store and tried another one of the simcards and it didn't work either. So far I think my Nexus S is defective. You can PM me your email if you like if you want to see if i fix it.
Ok so i was in my phone settings (*#*#4636#*#*) and i accidentally hit GSM only. Now i only have emergency calls. It's not the sim i already tried that. I tried goingto wcdma only (and all other options) re entering the smsc number in hex format but still nothing. Im getting scared here as i can't get back onto my phone carrier. I'm with mts (manitoba telephone service) here in canada and i believe im still picking up their towers becuase for the first second when the phone boots up it says mts but then goes to emergency calls only. i tried update i tried searching networks selecting automatically etc but still nothing. rebooted, did factory reset everything. Im rooted but now on stock rom. please i really need help if anyone can help me i'd be even willing to pay a bit. Really need my phone back thanks in advance.

When changing settings in the phone menu you have to get out with the home button not with the back button.
ok i tried that but it still won't work for me it says gsm: emergency calls only.
plz anyone? im desperate here
Hello Everyone,
I got my first android phone this weekend, a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 (not I1900G, or any other variant, just plain old I9100) which was locked to T-mobile UK.
After doing a bit of reading and trying out 3 different methods for rooting, CF-root, insecure kernel, and finally the method described here for rooting stock ICS firmware without flashing an insecure kernel by Rachmat3:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
After rooting method #2 (flash insecure kernel, run S2-root on phone) I ran chainfire's [root] Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock, this didn't work, so I ran Galaxy_S Unlock and it worked. At this stage I could use my phone for calls and sms though my SIM's network provider (virgin), and I later figured out how to get virgin to send me a configuration message to set up the APN settings, and I could then use 3G data to browse the web, etc...
However, I lost root when I flashed a secure kernel, and updated the firmware to XWLP7 from the intratech list of official kernels & firmwares:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Hence why I used Rachmat3's method #3 to regain root access, which worked like a charm.
However, I then lost the ability to make calls, send SMS and the phone refused to find the virgin network! Disaster! 3G still worked fine for data, and when I tried my sim card in my old phone I could still make calls and it found the virgin network immediately. I tried my gf's virgin sim in the SGS2 and it could find the virgin network but wouldn't connect any calls, it kept saying "unable to connect, try again later".
After reading around, I suspect that this may be a modem problem, can anyone confirm or deny this? I have the modem that came with intratech's XWLP7 firmware, which I believe is XXLPS. Can anyone recommend which modem I should try?
I have a real imei number, I tried flashing the CPW version of the XWLP7 rom instead of the XEU one, no luck, I tried a few other things that I can't remember now as it's first thing in the morning at work!
Any help, suggestions, or direction would be greatly appreciated, I was almost there on my own - fell at the last hurdle!
No-one else has this problem?
I've tried my sim card in it again this evening, I am unable to select virgin or Virgin from the network providers, but all other providers are there, o2, etc...
What's perculiar, is that when I use my gf's sim, both virgin and Virgin and all other providers are present, however, even with this sim, I still cannot make calls, even though it connects to the network, what the heck!?!
I've tried using different modems, no help.
Please anyone, any ideas?
I've contacted virgin this evening, they say the imei code isn't on their blacklist, I can't contact t-mobile until tomorrow, but I will ring them tomorrow and find out if they've blacklisted the imei for some reason.
Help!!
Any ideas, anyone else had similar problems?
Plz help!
I am looking forward to anyone's help about this question!
Hi all,
Just found out that the IMEI has been listed as lost or stolen by t-mobile. In contact with original owner to try and rectify the problem.
Anyone else having this issue, it's likely the same problem, contact the original carrier and ask to check their IMEI blacklist.
On a related note, does this mean that the previous owner of every second hand phone that is sold can just ring up their old provider and blacklist that IMEI whenever they want?
Seems like a bit of a massive oversight if you ask me... Surely there must be a way to transfer ownership of the IMEI number to a new owner?
Hello, just thought I would reach out for some help on an issue with my phone.
The Issue: I have a Samsung Galaxy SIII that was sent to me as a replacement for my older phone which had been running CM11 with no issues. I rooted and re-flashed a newer ROM to this device with minor issues (Just had to change the CDMA subscription to RUIM/ SIM). I was able to use the mobile data fine. However, when I went to make a call, I receive a recording saying that I am roaming. I have tried flashing back to the stock ROM, changing the radio to only use CDMA (Not 4G/ LTE), flashing older versions of CM11. None of this has yielded any results. I check the phone status and it says that the device is connected, shows the correct phone number, and also says that I am not roaming.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
N920VVRU3CQL4 Samsung Note 5
Hi i have Samsung note 5 N920VVRU3CQL4 verizon changed to straittalk they said my phone compatible. Since I changed I have very slow if any internet the wifi icon as 1 dot and a ! Next to it . If I send a text message it goes to "pending status " i figured out the only way to get text sent us to dial any phone number! Then text is sent. I cant be on the phone and the internet at the same time (i could at verizon) also sometimes when sending text ..i get a message that says "No mobile network" .. My APN is greyed out. I think trying your APN is a good idea what do you think ? I should not have to dial my phone to any random phone number for the messages to get sent. I also read where the upgrade for the nougat has all these errors and that's why this is happening. But when I was on Verizon I didn't have all this problem I just used a ton of data and I can't afford Verizon and the update was either in January or December so I think it might be straight talk who doesn't know how to set up my phone on there Network. Thank you in advance any help would be greatly appreciated ? P.S I am not a tech savvy person but I know something is mot right I don't know if this matters but I had an update on 1/7/18 N920VVRU3CQL4(was still at verizon)
and on 12/13/17 it says updated N920VVR53CQK1 is that right why are they two different numbers?
Turn your wifi/advanced calling off if it is on. Turn your wifi off. Restart your phone and try sending a text right away. If it works, that means your wifi calling was misconfigured. Reconnect to wifi. If you still get the exclamation point that means there's an issue with your wifi. One dot means you don't have good signal, so move closer to the access point. If it doesn't improve, there's something wrong with your access point or your phone's wifi antenna. You won't be able to use wifi/advanced calling since the settings are looking for Verizon and not Straight Talk. If you want to use wifi/advanced calling you'd need a carrier-agnostic phone with stock android that supports Verizon.
