I have a sensation xe which was locked on O2 so I rooted and flashed the phone so I could use it on T-mobile and everything was good till I noticed I can't send / receive texts or phone calls. But I can use my mobile Internet which is strange. I Don't know if it's something to do with the fact it was locked to O2 before I rooted and flashed it.
Any help would be grateful
can you choose the TMobils signal when you do a manual network selection?
After that your phone still has the O2 service centre number for sms, change it to the T Mobile number to restore that service (only after logged on to T Mobile of course)

Hi people,
Sorry to bother you with this, but I bet most people don't post until they have a problem!!!
I've just taken the plunge and updated the ROM on my O2 XDA IQ, and now it won't send or receive SMS! It gives me a "SIM is not valid" error message.
Does anyone know how I can fix this? Or explain why it is giving me this error message? Is it because of the CID being different? Or the region of the ROM I put on?
Thanks for reading!
G
are you using a different sim network? i guess your phone is still sim/cid locked.
I switched to Orange, and was able to send SMS fine for a week before I changed the ROM, so it's not a problem with the SIM. Is there a way to change the phones CID back to it's original value (I made sure I noted it down before changing it to the Super-CID)?
im not sure about that. your device should be working properly. try to go over the procedures again.
Did anyone manage to sort this out? I have the same problem, with an orange sim. Cant send or receive text messages, calls are fine. The sim works fine in other phones, and other network sims work fine in the IQ. Tried both the SP5 rom and the 8310 with no luck. In call options it doesnt have the service centre numbers, but if I try and change it, it doesnt save just goes blank every time.
I would revert to the O2 rom but cant find that anywhere! I have all original CDs with the IQ I find it disgusting they dont provide the ROM. That would be like buying a PC from the shop with a windows CD!
Try to call/ask Orange Customer Service then ask for their Text Messages Center Number..write it down. Then on your phone, navigate to Start - Settings - Phone - Call Options - Text Messages Service Center, then enter the number that the Orange Rep gave to you.
That's the problem of sim being not compatible with the rom.
U need the latest rom from orange 2.0.14.0 for spv c600, on this rom this problem is solved by orange, but I don't think you would be happy with it.
Hi all,
I have an odd problem. It started when having lost my phone I asked my sim card provided to suspend my mobil number in case of theft. Thankfully I found it and asked my provider to remove the suspension. Now I apparently have no signal and I'm unable to make or recieve calls or messages, but I can surf the net? My phone was directly from htc via handtech and can use any sim from any supplier. I've tried my sim in an old phone and it works fine and I also have a pay as you go sim which I use to benefit from free calls between mobils an land lines on the same network. I've looked at all the setting and can't see anything obviously wrong.? Can anybody help please
Hi guys, I',m brazilian and I brought a AT&T Incite from the US, unlocked. Slipped in my "Oi" brazilian SIM and it worked. Made calls, got messages but my own messages wouldn't go through, as well as the Wi-Fi connection, which would connect but wouldn't effectively work.
It is definetly unlocked, considering my SIM card is up and running, making and receiving calls (receiving SMS too), but it appears that the AT&T software is preventing me from using some of the key functions of my phone such as texting and using Wi-Fi connections.
Anyone knows what can I do to solve it, please??? Thanks a lot.
Help, plz!!!
Hey everyone,
I just picked up a new Z3 Unlocked with Dual sim mode and was having a very weird issue. I can make calls when the wifi is on, however, I do not receive incoming calls. It will ring twice and go to VM. Has anyone experienced this or know of way to fix it??
I've set the APN setting and everything works fine. I get LTE with AT&T and I have no issues except the issue with incoming calls on wifi.
Thanks guys.

I don't think you actually have wifi calling, as far as I know only tmo has a Z3 capable of wifi calling and its enabled by them and not Sony. I'm not sure if AT&T has even rolled out wifi calling on any phones yet, they've only stated their iPhones would get it sometime in 2015. Not sure how to solve your issue, but it can't be wifi calling.

Im not sure what it is exactly. It seems as if it wont switch between wifi and the network to receive calls. I cant turn on my wifi at home because ill miss calls.
Anyone have any other suggestions?

The more detail you can provide about what you are attempting to do, what works and what does not, and the settings/state of your phone, the better.
Dumb question first: Are you sure you are on AT&T, not T-Mobile?
Also, is your Z3 T-Mobile branded by any chance? (You might then want to flash debranded Sony firmware... see the Android Development forum).
Do you have cellular coverage in your area? If you turn WiFi off (and be sure Airplane mode is off also!), are you able to send/receive any calls at all? Can you call voicemail? (Note that calling and receiving call is not dependent on data settings, such as APN).
Do you have another SIM nearby that you can try? (e.g. your SO's...)
Are you sure you have not configured your phone for SIP (VoIP)? Go to Settings -> Call Settings -> Internet Call Settings -> Use Internet calling -- make sure that it says Only to SIP address. (Internet calling is great -- I forward calls to my VOIPo number when unavailable/unanswered, where I can also "spoof" my outgoing number to match my cell phone number, receive my voice mails as email attachments, make calls from my computer, etc... but that's probably a couple of steps ahead).

VOIPo.
I also use PhonePower for my "landline". We have a couple of SIP phones at home, and when going on vacations etc. we simply pick up our "home" calls on our cell phones (using the built-in SIP clients in Android and (gasp) Symbian).
PhonePower is better for international calls (VOIPo has a couple of restrictions, and also does not correctly interpret the "+" prefix in telephone numbers, the way I store them in my phonebook), whereas VOIPo is better as a "transparent" replacement for your cell phone number (if your cell phone is out of coverage, or in airplane mode), in that it can "spoof" the outgoing caller ID to match your cell phone number. (You'll have to verify it first of course).
Hi
I just bought an XZs dual SIM version. I'm having a very strange issue with it.
I have two SIMs installed: one on O2 UK and the other on Three UK.
The three chip works perfectly. Can do everything, voice, data, SMS etc... all good.
The O2 chip however has a strange issue. Every phone call I make it says "Invalid number".
Even if I call using the international +XX XXXXXX type or if I call using the UK style 07XXXXX both say "Invalid number" and do not complete the call.
What is odd is that I can receive incoming calls to the number. SMS and data also works, just making outgoing calls fails.
I checked that the phone supports the bands that O2 uses and it does. It does connect to the network (as I said I can receive calls, use data, send and receive SMS but just cannot make any outgoing calls)
The phone came from Hong Kong, and both O2 and Sony have flat out refused to help because I didn't buy the phone in the UK.
But well, it's a mobile phone, it should work in my country even if it's from HK.
I cannot really understand why I can receive calls but not make them. The SIM card works in my UK Samsung S6 so I do not think it's a network issue.
I have tried setting it to GSM only as it is my work phone and I really only need it for making calls. I've tried WCDMA / 4G / 3G but nothing fixes it.
I have reset the phone. Checked carrier settings etc.
Lastly I have tried swapping the chips around, and tried it with just one SIM but still the problem occurs.
Please can anyone give any suggestions on resolving this issue before I have to send it back ?
Thanks!
never mind. i solved it.
it was a provisioning error by the network, contacted O2 today and they resolved it by doing some kind of reset their end, which they didn't want to elaborate on.
fixed now.
