Hi guys
This is the first time ever I am trying an android phone out coming from an iPhone 4.
So basically I got my nexus s yesterday it said it was on vodafone but I understand the nexus s is fully unlocked. Anyway yesterday I put in my o2 sim and it worked out the box making calls etc. I rooted it and everything was fine. This morning I used the gps for a trip to work it worked perfectly. I could connect to the 3G network etc.
When I came home in the evening I tried to make a call and it said emergency calls only but it doesn't let me make any calls! I have hard reset it. Tried different roms. Erased cache etc etc. Still nothing. I called o2 support and they said from their end my sim is fine and no problem with it there is no lock etc.
If I go into the diagnostic tool thing *#*#4636#*#* it says the following
Signal strength -107 dbm 7asu
Gsm service: emergency calls only
Gsm disconnects: state:dcinactivestate disconnected with last try at 12:59am fail because no error
I have no clue what's wrong please help!
nevermind, missed that you had done that
try another SIM card
i had a similar issue, and the problem was the SIM card

Some one please solve this damn issue......it is more spread in India.......tried all baseband updates but still......driving me crazy
Same problem here.
Hope may fix!..under testing..Emergency calls only!!
I was so much annoyed with this so called network drop issue 'emergency calls only' which is appearing on my moblie every now and then and while on important calls..suddenly cutdown due to network loss.
im not a techy geek to go into kernels and rewrite some of the scripts ..etc..
so i may sound silly..but pls try it out..its working for me for last 2 days without drop..may be bcoz of wat i did or may be simply dont knw still testing..so i thought to share this across and see wat others experience..
the actual thing wat i did find is that there is some .005 mm gap over the sim in sim slot so i felt it may be a cause of some not contact of sim with the slot..in some micro levels..
so i introduced a paper above the sim while inserting sim in slot then it becom tight enough to stay its in contact all times..
its simple.. but u people hv to say weather its bcoz of this it works ..
Thanks Ram..

sorry guys : ( its not the fact causing network error.. i got a drop in signal after 2 1/2 days..
Same issue!
hey guys,
I am facing a similar issue.
I picked up my Nexus S (unlocked) running on 4.03 from UK, but using it now in India.
Baseband version - I9023XXKI1
Kernel version - 3.0.8-ga178ab4
Build number - soju-userdebug 4.0.3 IML69C 235871 test-keys
When I use any SIM here (Airtel/Vodafone), it is getting into Emergency mode. But strangely the GPRS service works. I am able to browse, stream, email etc. I dont understand how GPRS services are working when GSM isnt?
I am unable to use my new phone! Can anyone please shed some light here...
My nexus does this also, I've only found trying different radios to help but not eliminate the problem. Also when searching for networks, manually selecting your carrier instead of having it on automatic also helped.
I had this problem the other day. I was on emergency calls only, and AT&T said it was due to an antenna outage. Then I told them my wifes phone was working.. ended up at AT&T store, no luck, etc, etc.. To put an abbreviated story of my night of pain.
I tried a ton of different radios, all would not connect to 3g or make phone calls. Until I installed UCKF1 (New Version) from the [RADIO/GUIDE/TWEAK]Radio JK1,JK8,KB1,KB2,KB3,KD1,KF1 & UCKD1,KE1,KF1 with HSPDA Tweak thread. I don't know what that radio file did, but it fixed it. And after that when I flashed other radios which were previously not working, they were working again.
I'm not sure what happened, but while this was going on radios I had used before like KB3 didn't work. Once I had UCKF1 (New Version) installed, I was then able to successfully go to any radio I tried.

Have you tried a different Sim in your phone? Or tried your existing Sim in another phone?
This doesn't sound like an option setting

england? anyone got an idea what causes it? I never had this problem with this sim in my htc hd2
I have been having the same issue, not receiving calls and then getting a text message about 10 minutes later from my provider notifying me that I have missed said call lol.
Try changing your network settings to 2G only, I've been looking into this issue recently, and I came across a thread somewhere that it can be caused by the phone getting stuck in HSDPA or HSUPA mode, and not changing back to 2G to receive calls and text messages, or something to that extent.
TL/DR
Try 2G only, report back.

There are, for some people at least, problems with s/w 1.47.xxx.x (Settings->About phone->Software information) - see

and
http://androidforums.com/htc-desire-s/396171-signal-drops-completely-htc-desire-s.html
If you read through these posts you'll see incoming calls failing/going straight to voicemail is one of the issues noted. Some posts suggest HTC have admitted there is a problem.
Hello people! I am a newbie on Android, so don't expect me to know deep stuff about Android.
So, I've been using HTC Sensation for about a month now. I've been using it without problem, but suddenly on one night, hard rain strike Bangkok. Suddenly, my phone goes no signal and limited service. I thought it was some some problem, so I wait for a while in order to get the signal back. About 20 mins later, my signal bar is back, but still no Mobile Connection icon (e.g. H or 3G). The worse thing is even though my signal bar is back, I still can't make/receive any calls or sms to/from anyone. I thought it might be some problems with the towers, however, when I switch my SIM to my mom's iPhone, the signal appear to work and the connection worked without problem.
That's when I thought its the problem with the phone. But... when I went out of my area (house), signal appear to work with 3G and I can perfectly make calls or texts without problem. When I got home, No Signal once again. So now I don't really know if its the problem with the network or the phone...
This really annoys me as heck. If someone can give me advices, I will be much appreciate. Thank you very much
My phone goes from having full bars on 4g to nothing randomly me having to pop out the battery to get service again.
Tired of the same

i decided to make the jump and my issues went away, i would have preferred to remain stock however i don't like to be branded, stuck with bloatware etc..
thank you and all of you reply this thread. I am very new to Android, so I'm not really sure about 'rooting'. So Lostcat, you have this issue? and your issue went away after you've rooted your phone? Also, if I am going to root my phone, will all my data, contact, apps, and setting gone? If yes, anyway to do easy back up?
Thanks
I was having similar issues so I sent mine off for repair (through carphone - they say they send htc phones off to the manufacturer but considering its only been a week and they have reapired it i doubt that it has been sent off) still im sort of glad it didn't go off http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/watchdog/2011/10/htc_phones.html - im going to get it this afternoon. will report back with findings

You have answered your question yourself here.
It's clearly a problem with your local cell since that night with the hard rain, since when you go to a different area your phone works fine. Contact your network and report theres a problem with your local cell.
cheers
Are you sure? Why does he have a signal in his mum's iCrap?

Yeah, at first I thought its the signal problem too. But when I switched SIM and put it in my mom's iPhone, it work. And I use her SIM on my phone, and it worked too! Pretty confusing eh?
Alright.... I've decided to give my phone to the HTC support to fix it after I've asked a lot of people and they said its the antennas problem. Anyway, since I phone is rooted, in order to give to support, I need to unroot it.
I know people posted a lot of steps on unrooting HTC Sensation, but I want ONE SPECIFIC SAFE and SURE steps for unrooting... Thank you
Hello all, i am a new owner of the sidekick4G, rooted w\clockwork. Well, my friend got a g2 and got family mobile from walmart. He has 4g and everything. Well, when i activated my phone i was told that internet was not available for this phone. After it was all hooked up i popped in my new sim and i have the 4g symbol but its like im capped at 100kb/s. Is there some way to get this phone working on 4g? I would hate to have to resell this phone just because of that. Thanks for any help. Sorry for the long story.
If you are rooted:
Change modem and test out signal and internet speeds or move to a different location and try doing so again with the same and/or different modem.
If not rooted:
Do the same thing without changing the modem.
This should be of some help.
Also was the phone used or brand new?
If you are rooted what rom?

It is rooted and i just did the oneclick root + recovery but i have no sd card so i cant flash clockwork or any roms yet. Ill try messing with the settings in a min.

I flashed my NS4G to Boost... it was a long and agonizing road, but I think i finally got it working correctly.
my phone is currently 100% stock with gingerbread 2.3.7
since this was such a stressful flash, i'm kind of worried about "not fixing what's not broken"...
however, i'd love to re-root it and flash a custom ROM. Will doing this mess up any of the modifications i had to do to get calls, text, and data to work?
(they were all done in QPST)
I'm not going to do it until i have confirmation... so let me know and ease my mind!
thanks

i also have a nexus 4g on boost. i've just about had every kernal and rom on this board for it (both gingerbread and ICS)
i hope that helps.

so a standard rom flash will retain all boost settings?
yes.
keep in mind mms fix only works on gingerbread as far as i know.
the APN can't be changed on ICS roms.

If you use voice dialer and say "open APNs", it will let you edit the apn. Does this not work to get mms working?

what you are talking about can not be talked about as it is illegal to change the esn and meid all all other device identifiers that are registered to the fcc. Each phone has a unique id to it that is represented to the fcc. I have also been talking with Boost employess and area managers and boost is getting ready to kick off the users who have "flashed" phones on Boost that do not belong on boost. This is going to be done as Boost can still tell what type of phone you have other then the esn / meid as the device still sends out certain other device ids to the network when you use certain programs. Also by trying to send updates to your phone sprint can request the system information from your phone that can tell them the actual make and model and firmware and all that you are running. And you thought carrier iq was bad...
if you wait a few months or so the evo 3d will be on sprints virgin mobile with ics included and sense 3.6...
Boost mobile will be getting the HTC Evo design 4g soon as well...
i myself dont understand why boost is going 4g when sprint is going lte... but another stupid move by sprint.
does anyone have a link to a how to flash my nexus s 4g to boost? I'd really like to do this. cant afford sprint anymore...
