I've been having this problem with my Samsung focus for like 4 days now. It refuses to connect to my network provider. I've tried everything; hard reset, reflashing stock At&t rom, different sim cards. My network indicator keeps saying there is no signal, but sometimes I get edge connection randomly but it leaves almost immediately. I've looked all over for a way to fix this problem but no one has ever been able to fix this problem. What can I do?

Hi!
My girlfriend (who is forever having problems with phones) just bought a Nexus 5 after her Galaxy S2 spontaneously gave up on life, but despite showing a full signal it seems to be unable to connect to a network (it's supposed to be on the UK's Orange network). When it first started up she said it had a screen saying something like 'activate data services', but that after 10 minutes or sitting on that screen and apparently stuck, she skipped it. The phone is showing a full strength signal, but no calls/texts or data works.
We've been unable to get back to that screen, even after doing a factory reset with/without the SIM inserted.
Anyway, I figured it was an APN issue, so I've tried setting it up for her, but whenever I create a new APN and try to save it, it just disappears and loses all of my settings. I've had a look around XDA and it seems a few others have been having the same issue, but nobody I've seen has posted a fix. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Tried it with my SIM in her phone and it works fine, so I guess it's a SIM issue. Sorry about that. She can call the phone company tomorrow.
Hi All,
I've been having an issue after upgrading from a Nexus 4 to Nexus 5 where the phone will not re-connect to the home network (or will only reconnect to GSM with no data) after losing connection. This happens for example when going into an elevator or parking garage; I'll lose signal and when I get back into a signal area it won't reconnect unless I go to the "Mobile networks" -> "Network operators" menu and select "HOME" or "Automatic Registration". I'm using Straight Talk wireless with an older T-Mobile SIM (before they switched to only AT&T). I've called Straight Talk a few times to try and debug this, but the only instruction they've given me is to reset the APN and set it up again, which I've done a couple times to no avail. They claim that the SIM card is good on their end. Any ideas what might be causing this?
Thanks!

It sounds like the Baseband/RIL problems I had with my old LG OP2X with non-stock roms. For me, it was fixed switching to aeroplane mode and back, it could also get stuck there, I remember it once took me half a day to get it out for I didn't want it to wipe it.
Any way, may be it's not the same but it could be fixed flashing a baseband, I think I saw a thread about it somewhere around... Also, flashing the full firmware should —if it's not a hardware issue— solve the problem without doing much research.
HI

Hi Were you able to get a solution for this, My nexus 5 does not connect automatically to the network, it works only for manual search.
Please help...
Same problem here. Any solution?
I'm stuck with out any connection for the las two days. Tried removing battery, airplane mode. manual search. nothing.
Tried my line in other phone and it worked, other line in my phone and it didn't.
S4 I9500. Paranoid 4 Beta 4.
I don't have a really good solution, i reflashed my phone to stock and it did not fix the issue. I ended up switching carriers to T-mobile and haven't seen the problem since. It seems it was a SIM or network problem like i suspected

I still couldn't make this work I'm this close to buying a new phone... any idea?
Randomly, earlier today my Galaxy S7 went from having signal fine to being unable to successfully connect to a network.
The problem is not the SIM, as I tried my SIM in another phone (fine) and a working SIM in mine (no luck). I even tried a different network but no luck.
The problem survives a reboot, and I tried resetting the network settings. I also tried clearing the cache partition. I haven't yet tried a full factory restore.
I'm on the latest S7 firmware - I'm a beta user for the Android 7 firmware.
Anyone had this issue and know a fix? It could be hardware but I'd find that a bit odd... I suspect something software is going on, as it detects the SIM fine, and shows a signal that fluctuates, it just seems unable to connect properly...
Thanks!
Resolved... turns out the phone I got 2 months ago (from CEX) had since been blacklisted - and it kicked in yesterday. I took it back to them, they're raging but I got a replacement!
Wrong forum, could someone move this, please.
Hello there,
What i did so far:
Factory reset 2x
Network resets 2x
Enables/disabled WiFi+
Used different apn
What i experience
When im not using my phone for several minutes, go back and use it, it wont connect to the internet. This means i cant load anything internet related. While the problem happens, the outbound traffic symbol lights up permanently. This occurs on both, mobile data an wifi. Tested several wifi access point, been through several locations to connect to different signal towers.
I have the feeling, that when i did a reset, it worka better for several hours, but goes back to the bad behaviour.
Any suggestions?
Problem seems to be gone after a third reset.
Hi All,
My gf has a G970U1 on AT&T and throughout the day it will randomly lose network connection. The network bar disappars and it just shows instead, but only for like 10 seconds then it works.
We've not had much luck consistently reproducing the issue, but one way we can get it to sometimes happen is by launching Google maps and starting navigation. we tried disabling location services but that did nothing
She's had her SIM replaced but it did not help.
We did try swapping sims for a bit (I'm on T-Mobile) and it seemed to have fixed it. We want to test that some more today. In fact my phone started loosing connection, it did not show the but my LTE+ would disappear for a few seconds and only the bars would show( I have a N975U1 note 10)
We also tried clearing the device cache from the bootloader but also nothing.
Has anyone else had this issue? I feel it's something stupid with the AT&T ota updates that's causing it. Her brother has the same phone as me N975U1 and he is having similar issues though not as often.
I'm just looking for any help or any leads I can follow. Anything at all would be appreciated.
Thanks!
