the APN are not needed for calls. just to surf the Internet
Correct me if I'm wrong.
what you say. I think the SIM is burned. try a new and tell us how it goes
Sometimes the server of my operator falls and I can not make calls or messages.for about 5 minutes. or up to 6 hours

I would try a total reset first GTG's Ultimate Unbrick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116251

Hi Pajezaum
I'm from Brazil São Paulo as well and bought my Infuse August last year.
Mine I bought it unlocked, to prevent this kind of problem, .
Anyway, I'm using Claro and it's working perfect, stock factory ROM.
I suggest you test another sim card, even try from another mobile provider.
Infuse is Quad-band, so maybe it's not a frequency problem.
Any problem, contact me.

Rally1969, when i installed ZEUS rom and saw the problem stayed, i use GTG's Ultimate Unbrick and still not working after stock rom installed
any possibility of the IMEI is blocked?
markbyck, i sent a message for you.

if you are blocked by imei then you should be able to get incomming calls, but when every you try making an outgoing call you signal will jump to no service, ( i bought a stolen phone before ) F**KING craiglist

guys, i installed DarkyRom and show 'Sim card PUK-Locked' any idea?

puk blocked means you need a new sim card

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.

[Q] Phone not reading ANY sim cards (Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket i727r)

Alright, so as usual i try and solve all my issues myself and avoid posting on forums unless im at a total loss.
Heres whats going on, I have a Samsung Galaxy S ii Skyrocket (Rodgers) i got from a friend. Im with Virgin mobile and the phone is with rodgers. The phone is unlocked and worked perfectly with Pacrom for 2-3 weeks. now it is not reading ANY sim cards ... Heres what ive tried
-Returning to stock rom (using odin)
-Had someone look at sim contactors (fine)
-Called both Virgin Mobile (said to call rodgers)
-Called rodgers (transfered me to virgin mobile)
-Restarting phone (removing and inserting sim)
-Factory reset (pacrom)
Nothing has worked and no one working at rodgers or virgin mobile will help or don't know anything. soo im asking you guys, any idea on how to fix this? Or atleast whats wrong with it?

Is imei also reading 0 or null? If so you might need to fix the efs partition.. Otherwise I'd say the sim reader is dead.

Phone wont register on network!! Need Help!!

Hello guys!
I love this phone, but i am having problems getting it to function properly here in Sweden. It was originally bought on a contract and simlocked to Tre (carrier). I bought the phone second hand from swedish ebay (much cheaper than brand new) with the intention of unlocking it and using with my carrier (Telenor).
Tre would not unlock the phone for me (have to see out 24 month contract) so i unlocked it myself using the services of unlockscope.com. The process was successful, and the phone no longer asks for a network unlock code when using previously locked sim.
The problems start now.. It just refuses to register on the network! If i switch the phone off, insert sim and start, then i get a brief flash of the carrier name in top left corner (2 seconds), and then it goes back to saying emergency calls only.
I cannot register manually, i have tried hundreds of times, even though the carrier appears in the list. The apn settings are also correct for my carrier.
I have also contacted my carrier and they dont understand the problem. I even had them run a check on the imei to see if it was blocked on their network (possible stolen phone) but it came back negative, no blocking whatsoever!
The weirdest thing is that it works when using my brothers Tele2 sim card! The phone registers in seconds and displays a nice 4g symbol next to the signal indicator! A thing to note is that this Tele2 nano sim fits very nicely in the tray and stays in place, whereas my telenor sim is extremely loose and falls out, though i have tried taping my sim in place with no success.
Can anybody relate to this problem or think of a possible cause? I dont know what to try anymore! I'm thinking that there must be something wrong with the phone, but then why does Tele2 work perfectly??!!
Sorry for the long post! I appreciate any help offered!

Hi
This is getting weird , did you try to do a factory reset from recovery also wipe cache and if that do not work you could also try to flash the firmware of the phone again ( odin)

Just in case is some odd firmware problem , back up everything important first...just in case

I have already tried flashing with stock swedish firmware using odin (G930FXXU1APEQ_G930FVDS1APF1_VDS) but same problem persists.. One weird thing to note though is that even though i do a clean flash with unbranded swedish rom, the phone installs some carrier specific apps from the original carrier the phone was simlocked to upon first boot. How can that be??
Maybe its worth trying an international version?
Thanks for the suggestions

That is odd , yes try a totally different rom just to see how it turns out , even from another country it should not make any difference for the phone and connect easily to a network.

I will try with an international firmware and see if there is any difference.. if not i will follow that guide on efs partition in case that is corrupt.. This is so frustrating!!!
Is it at all possible that a very loose fitting sim could be the problem? As the simcard of the carrier that works fits very snugly in the sim tray.

Oh no. Have the police found out the thieves? I think my phone may be stolen too because I have the exact same problem.

No service and mobile network. Really no fix? :(

Hii... Have been searching forum but seems like no one has the answear
Galaxy s7 european version. Phone worked perfectly for 4 month and then suddenly I lost mobile network and service Tried hard reset, network setting reset ect. nothing helps Put simcard in different phone - everything is ok. I red that this problem most likely can t be fixed by software... Is that true? Can I try something else to fix this? Whats the cause?

Hey there. I have the same issue with Vodafone Sim card AUSTRALIA. phone just stopped working all of a sudden. Why would they blacklist it? Other sim cards work on the phone.

have you been able to resolve your issue? what was the fix?

Has anyone got any solution of this? It's been quite a long with this issue, I've searched a lot of topics but no solution.

I have the same problem. Phone don't see simcard somehow. Flashed latest original firmware works for 1 min. Pull out trace with sim insert it again works for 2 min and stops working. When it works for small amount of time i think IMEI its not blocked and almost sure its software issue. Yesterday flashed different roms and CSC and modems no luck. SimCard changed for new one. Have someone some clue what to do ? I can provide logs if needed.
After instaling Samsung Phone Info app from market gsm wen't back online. Probably a coincident but when I go to Hardware screen ther was no modem model. I tap it few times. Close apk run it again modem went show itself after a while GSM signal is back.
After reboot no signal again. Then i make magic with phone info apk again and signal want back.
This apo make some sort of device discovery and reset modem device / driver or this is pure luck.
