Hi guys,
I've been having this problem with my N5.
Its a d820 model, unlocked and rooted.
I have no signal, cant register to the network either.
I can use wifi with no problem too.
I changed the micro sim card with other carriers, same issue. I asked for a new micro sim to my carrier too (not cut), but still getting the same problem.
It's worth mentioning that the micro sim works flawlessly. Im using it everyday on an HTC One S and signal and data works perfectly.
When I first get the simcard on the N5, it asks for a reboot, after it comes back up, it shows strong signal, but I can't make any call or receive, no messages either.
After a few minutes, the signal goes down and it shows only emergency calls.
Going into mobile networks and searching for my carrier takes quite some time, but no matter how many times I try to select my carrier,it always comes back with not able to register in the network.
I did a factory reset, and went back to stock, and then performed the system updates to 4.4.4.
I flashed a couple of radios as well, but no luck.
The IMEI shows well, and its the same that shows on the box, so I guess no problems there with a corrupt IMEI.
Has anyone else had any problem like this? Any suggestions?
I've been reading some threads here, and I still have to try a different kernel/ROM, but if anyone else knows of a similar situation, I would appreciate any suggestions.
May be it has something to do wid preferred network...
If u use 3g go to dialpad
Type
*#*#4636#*#* phone info
Select modem as wcdma only...
If u use lte select lte only... See if this works
I think I already tried that, but cant remember for sure
Will give it a shot, thanks
Is the phone second hand?
Have you checked if the IMEI is blocked by the network?
sounds like you bought a used phone that has been blacklisted. if blacklisted, your phone wont work on any US carrier, and many Canadian carriers.
Yes its a second hand phone, and I don't know if it is blacklisted on USA, but Im in South America, so that shouldnt be a problem
And there are no carriers here working with N5 so they cant blacklist the IMEI either
(This doesnt mean that the phone doesnt work here, actually, my wife has another N5 that works like a charm here)

the carriers dont have to work with the n5 to blacklist it. in other words, they can blacklist any phone that connects to their network. as soon as you connect to the network, they know your imei and other info about your phone. anyways, they blacklist your imei, so when your phone tries to connect, it cant. the agreement that carriers have in the US and Canada, could possibly be for all of the americas, or, in south america, they could have their own blacklist.

googling, i found that carriers worldwide are sharing blacklists.
The GSMA, an international association of wireless carriers, also keeps a database that wireless carriers worldwide could check to prevent stolen phones from being reactivated on their networks.

I will check on that, I think I can just call my carrier and ask if that IMEI is blacklisted or not

yup, thats the best thing to do. the people that first answer the phone, customer service, probably wont be able to help, maybe someone in tech. or, use this website to check(there art other sites as well).. http://swappa.com/esn
Well I just checked. IMEI not blacklisted on my carrier, also checked with swappa, not blacklisted either.
I used the *#*#4636#*#* to select wcdma as well as other options there, but still no go.
Also, under Mobile network settings, changed the preferred network type to LTE, 3G and 2G, but no luck
Tried Choose automatically the network, but still getting the message that its unable to register to the network right now and that I should try again later
I guess Im left with flashing some other ROM/kernel to see if it helps, unless someone has any other suggestions

also, what kind of nexus 5 is it, a d820 or d821? it would make a difference signal-wise. ones for north america, ones for europe. honestly, i have no idea which you would need http://www.phonearena.com/news/Differences-between-the-two-Nexus-5-models-D820-and-D821_id48985
I don't know if the problem is with the carrier, since I'm using the very same simcard with another phone and I have data and network with no problem.
The phone is d820, but I know it works here (my wife has the same one), network 2g and 3g work well here, LTE is the only thing that won't work here with this phone but I don't care about that
I'll keep looking just in case, and I guess tomorrow I'll flash different ROM

If the problem is wid radio flashing a different rom won't matter ..
Have u tried flashing a factory image ?
I know flashing a new ROM wont help with radio, but I've seen that using *#*#4636#*#*, going into phone information and then Select Radio Band, gives me an error and force closes.
I've seen some threads about that, and someone saying that it was working on a CM ROM, so I was thinking of trying that in order to be able to select the radio band and see if that helps.
About the factory image, yes, I used the google images to go back to stock, and then performed the system updates.
Well I flashed Slim Rom, and was able to get into *#*#4636#*#* to change radio band. Tried them all, no change.
Played around with the preferred networks and no luck either.
I'm officially out of ideas, but I'll keep digging around to see what I can find.
Any suggestions welcome.
Also, I know that there is a known issue with the GPS signal on some Nexus 5, and there are a few videos on Youtube showing how to fix it (basically opening the back of the phone, and sticking a piece of paper under the connector).
Does anyone know if there is something similar happening with the radio? Does anyone have a photo of the phone showing which part would be the antenna?
One additional thing I noticed.
If I switch, or just take out and reinsert the micro sim, the phone asks for a reboot. After doing that, when the phone boots up, I see I have network (full bars), going into mobile operators, I can see my carrier, and I can register too. But I cant make or receive any calls or messages.
During this 10 minutes that I have this sort of fake signal, if I go into *#*#4636#*#* and phone info, I can see my carrier, but it doesn't show my phone number. Weird.
Lg nexus 5 network issue
i am facing the same issue with exus 5 .In my hometown in India,the phone simply shows "Emergency calls only" and shifts to normal working mode with full network coverage once i travel to other parts of my state (parts which probably has a better signal strength ,i dont know ).i have tried out changing the sim card and a factory data reset ..Both didnt help ..

Has anyone been able to track down the issue and get it resolved? I'm facing the same situation, and almost taking it to an authorized LG support so that they can change the motherboard.

I have read a few threads about this issue, but none of them seem to be the same exact problem..
Right now I am running ParanoidAndroid 2.15 with InstigatorX 6.3.6 kernel.
When I first noticed the problem I was on PA 2.13/IX 6.3.6 I believe and I was using the UCLF6 modem.
My network connection was fine until one day I noticed that I had 0 connectivity and when I tried to make a phone call it said I wasn't registered on the network.
Sooo the issue..
My network connection constantly shows that I am not connected to the ATT network, sometimes the network is out for a good 5 minutes or so before it connects to it again. When it does connect to the network it usually shows up as connected to the Edge network..once in a while it will show 3g; I used to have full bars of 4g/hspa.
After a few minutes go by, the network connection cuts off and I am again once disconnected from the network.
From the time I had no problem with my connection to when it started disconnecting from the network I have no idea what happened.
Yes, I do flash ROMs a lot, but this seemed to happen over night. (I had not messed with my ROM for a good while and then BAM my network blows 'all of a sudden')
Things I have tried..
I have tried different roms, different modems, I have tried the whole airplane mode deal, tried pulling the batter, I have reverted back to stock using Odin and the stock ROM file. My IMEI number shows up correctly, my settings are default as far as allowing data connections ect.
I am not sure if there is anything I can do besides call up the warranty department and try and get a new phone, but I wanted to ask here before I did that.. I've already returned my phone like 2 or 3 times since February lol.
Try getting a new SIM card from AT&T. There is a $10 fee for it, but I had a similar problem and this fixed it for me. My phone would lose service and say "No SIM card inserted" then I would hit restart and everything would work except phone calls. I had to remove the SIM for a few minutes and put it back in in order to make or receive calls.

Not sure if this will help or not, but in the past I have had AT&T "re-initialize" my phone on their end and it has fixed some connectivity issues.
Good luck!
Well dang, I was wishing and a praying I'd come back to some good news lol. Oh well

Backup and odin back to stock I727UCLF6 and see if the problem goes away. If yes then its possible you need to look for the AT&T LTE APN settings.

I've tried using Odin to stock ICS and also GB, but the problem still occurs =\
Did you unlock it?
Hey,
Did you unlock the phone? I have a similar issue, having had tried many different modems kernels and ROMs including the stock ones. It turns out that if the phone is unlocked then it will lose connectivity to lte and 3g. I get edge sometimes and one bar max but I cannot make a call out ever.
Unlocked it as I was travelling in the states and now Roger's says I voided my warranty by unlocking it. Tried a different sim card but I am only able to text right now, no calls. The only silver lining is the big three are starting to lower their prices a bit to compete with new competitors.Then again they make budget brands like koodo and public mobile to directly compete with the new entrants so unless the crtc steps in looks like we'll always get gouged.

I'm not 100%, but I don't have any warnings about my SIM card or anything
Same boat
I'm having the same issue with my Galaxy Note 717r on Canadian carriers Rogers and Telus
I keep getting the Error 'Not registered on Network'
On Rogers, if I select GSM only, it will register on the Network and connect with EDGE speeds
It has been Carrier unlocked at some point but it was working that way for a while. You can check by using this service code: *#7465625#
Tried multiple SIM cards that work with other phones.
Verified that the IMEI number matches what is on the sticker *#06# Rogers told me if I can make calls on the GSM network than the IMEI isn't blocked. Don't know if that's true but it makes sense.
Went back to stock everything (Modem, CSC, ROM) then I upgraded to ICS OTA.
Enable SIM lock, Disabled SIM lock.
How do you know that carrier unlocking blocks you on the 3G/LTE networks? Can the carrier be relocked?
I've got another 717r coming to me. I think I'll try backing up the EFS folder and restoring it on this phone just to verify it's not corrupt or a blocked IMEI.

I'm not sure about that one.
But what ROM do you use? It seems like this only happens with people who have JB ROMs..it looks like..
I just called ATT , they did some kind of wireless number reset, nothing happened.
They are going to send me a new SIM card which I can test and see if that fixes the problem, but I'm not going to hold my breath though.

Hi, I've got a Z3 dual D6633 which I want to use with an EE SIM in the UK. I've tried a cut down microsim and been into the EE shop and tried one of their nano SIMs but both don't work correctly in the phone.
The cut down SIM makes a service phone.android.com or something like that continually crash and doesn't connect to the network.
The one I tried in the shop just doesn't connect to the network.
This is on 23.0.F.1.74 and .82 I noticed in the release notes for .82a fix for Yoga SIMs in Russia but don't know what the problem there was, but wonder if it is linked. All other UK Sims work including 3, Lyca, giffgaff, Vodafone, virgin just not EE. has anyone got an EE one working or had similar problems?
I did notice that an app/widget I use called phono to show network info and signal strength usually shows the IMEI when no SIM inserted or the MSISDN, however with the non-working EE SIM it just shows 00000 - not sure which field it is getting wrong. Oh and yes the SIMs work fine in all other phones I've tried.
I do need to try more tests on factory reset and removing phono etc but so far it looks to be a firmware incompatibility with EE Sims.
OK, so I did a few more tests and got hold of another nano SIM on EE.
So it looks like the 23.0.F.1.74 firmware does not like EE SIMs and the phone application constantly crashes. On the later .82 firmware it works fine. I was mislead a bit by going into an EE store and trying a SIM - they must have given me an un-provisioned SIM to try. I stupidly assumed they would have actually given me a SIM that worked, doh!
I'm experiencing something similar here. I have the D6633, bought in UK, now I am in Brazil and the phone works great except that it won't connect to the 4G/3G/2G/LTE network. I can make calls, send sms normal. But internet only over wi-fi.
I called my operator, they say the phone is configured correctly, I tried my brother's sim card from another operator and the same happens.
So, the phone is clearly unlocked, if not it wouldn't recognize the sim cards at all. But no connection to the internet...
Any suggestions? I already did four factory resets, I recovered the Rom using sony software...

I purchased my D6633 from Saudi Arabia and the 23.0.F.1.82 update came as an OTA notification about a week ago.
If you look in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/d6633-z3-dual-updated-to-23-0-f-1-82-t2929352/ it mentions that someone thinks the update has only been released for Saudi and Brazil - I assume it is for Europe as well as one of the release notes says a problem with Russian Yota SIMs has been fixed. I think there are also links to the firmware in there although I've not looked that hard as I got the OTA. I guess it might still in my memory - anyone know where Sony stick their OTAs?
Seems to work fine so far - no noticeable difference - well other than EE SIMs now work!

Hmmm, sounds like another issue as with mine the EE SIM caused the phone.apk to constantly crash/restart.
Did the data work OK in the UK?
As you can make calls/SMS I assume you are at least on a 2G network which should still give you (very slooow) data - It does sound more like an APN issue - or something else. I know you said you checked with your operator what their APN settings should be (just my experience with operator customer support lines) - but I would try and have a look yourself - and maybe list your APN settings and operator and someone may spot something.
I have seen a couple of phones / operators where the "APN type" in the APN settings needs specific settings - its down the bottom and often isn't mentioned when people get the settings. For example in my current settings I have "default,hipri,dun,supl" for Virgin mobile in the UK.

For mine, on my networks here in Australia, I can assign 4G LTE to any sim, however, that makes the other sim 2G only (GSM).
The other option is to have both at 3G (WCDMA/HSPA).
If you assign 4g to sim one that work only for 4g or like other phones "LTE(preference)/WCDMA/GSM"
4g not available automatically search 3G if 3G not available automatically search 2G?
Assume second sim is on 2g

Does anyone know if i need to update any settings or firmware from factory to make it compatible. I can see iinet and truphone lte networks (which i assume is the optus 4g network) when searching manually but the phone wont connect. Sims work in a mates iphone6 without a problem.
Don't suppose anyone knows how to get rid of the #sim card icon on the statusbar?

Have you managed to root it? I rooted the 23.0.1.f.0.96 firmware for my Z3 D6633, but after a while (half a day) it starts to reboot frequently, and Google Play stops working (can browse apps, but not download them, as the download bar never progresses).
Also, my EE sim seems to work, but the phone still shows it as 'Sim 1 0000000' whereas other sims simply appear as sim 1 and sim 2.
I am wondering if I should just downgrade back to 23.0.F.1.74 and move from EE to Vodafone or 3...
Ah, work forced a BlackBerry (yuck!) on me and I've since sold the D6633.
I picked up an unlocked T-mobile G5 and I'm using it for AT&T... The rep at the store applied the APN setting for ATT but I noticed after I got a new SIM installed and went home the reception and data connection started dropping in and out.
Basically, when the phone is sleeping and then I wake it starts searching for network then gets reception then get a signal for a couple mins then drops again and searches. Since it's a T-Mobile phone on an ATT network is there certain settings that I need to turn off like VoIP, WIFI calling etc? Any ideas?
Wipe out all existing APNs and start from scratch? Use the NXTGENPHONE APN. I'm using an unlocked T-Mobile H830 LG G5 on AT&T and I have no problems. My sister's Nexus 6 uses the same APN no problems either.

So I followed your steps.. I wiped all existing APNs and entered the APN setting in the link you provided and used the NXTGENPHONE APN but I couldn't get data but just had reception to make calls. So I changed the name to AT&T and the APN name to phone and I get data and reception but it still drops in and out.
I went to ATT to see what they could suggest but the only thing they offered was maybe a faulty SIM card and switched it out but it's still doing the same thing... Has anyone experienced this? Should I do a factory reset maybe? If I do that, I won't lose SIM unlock right?

I was going to suggest a factory reset as a last resort. You won't lose the sim unlock; it's permanent unlock.
Troubleshooting is the name of the game and you'll have to keep having to try potential solutions until it's fixed.
Hopefully it's not a hardware issue with the radio or you'll have to swap it out and reunlock it all over again.
are you on 10A or 10D?
10D seems to improve the radio... but if you wan root/twrp make sure you do all that on 10A first before upgrading to 10D.
also, have you tested the phone in different areas? or just at your house and immediate area? perhaps it's just an issue in specific locations? what if you drive across town or something?

Performed a factory reset and issue is still there but slightly improved but I need to test it more... Basically, when I wake the phone it searches for network (not all the time but here and there) then locks a signal..

In on 10D.. Yeah I tried it in different areas and driving when I'm art a stoplight I can see it searching for network.. I switched the SIM card and did a factory reset any other suggestions?
Is your Network mode set to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto? If it's not area specific it might be hardware related.
How did you get the 10D update on AT&T btw?

Yes, my network mode is set to that setting. The person I purchase this phone from had T-Mobile and updated before they sold it to me.

Last thing to try is Mobile networks>Network operators>Search networks. Maybe manually choosing one might help? Enable Data Roaming?
Could be a hardware issue if not software.

Yeah, I tried that too.. Got back from Tmobile and they said that another person experienced the same issue couple weeks ago and they said that some G5s that are unlocked and used on different networks are still trying to jumping back on the tmobiles phone network hence my phone searching signals off and on...
Just wanted to give another confirmation that the LG-H830 works perfectly on AT&T (H83010D [BL,modem,system], rooted, unlocked). I gave up on Verizon and my fiancé now uses it on AT&T. She loves it!
Geez.. I got scammed. The person looks like they file a insurance claim on the phone so my ESN is blacklisted! Great! Lesson learned the hard way. Any suggestions what I can do? I saw that people are buying bad ESN phone on ebay as long as I post that it's a bad ESN.
OP, I had the exact same problem on T-Mobile after doing a temporary unlock. I took it to a T-mobile store and they tried swapping the SIM but that didn't help so they did a warranty replacement. Two days later I had a new phone and everything works again. I didn't (and won't) try to SIM unlock it again.

I have heard of people getting past blacklist. Think you can pay to fix it.

I did some research online on blacklist repairs but do you or can anyone give me some recommendations on it? Sucks cause even if I get it repaired I wondering if I still will have issues with the reception..
Anyone tried this site? http://www.imeifix.com/
I just tried the sim unlock as well. I'm a tmobile customer so I really didn't have a reason to do it. Just wanted to see if it would unlock.
Well it said it could not be unlocked and I, out of dumb curiosity tried the temporary unlock. It worked and said it is unlocked until August. I think roughly 30 days after I did it.
Well, later that day or the next my phone started doing the same exact thing. Signal dropping and searching. Furthermore though, I woke up to a warm phone today. Same as it gets when doing lots of app updates. I unplugged it from the charger and watched the battery drop 4% in only 15 minutes of standby (screen off, not using the phone).
I just flashed it back to stock and relocked the boot loader and will see if it fixed it. Was running rooted 10d when this happened.
I'm starting to think that sim unlock app is evil or something. I haven't put my sim card back in as of yet but will update if it starts acting up when I do.
Possible explanation?:
I noticed a T-Mobile diagnostic app try to gain root access during the weirdness which I had never seen before. Maybe the sim unlock gains a sudo root to do the unlock but on a rooted phone with a non stock root manager causes the unlock app to endlessly loop trying to gain access and thus cause a warm phone and signal dropouts? Just a hunch but would be interested to see what others think.
*** Ok so quick update, I put my tmobile sim back in and the signal is dropping in and out again. The phone worked fine before I tried the unlock. This is so uncool.

I think I may have isolated the cause. I disabled the device unlock app in app settings and rebooted. Since then I haven't noticed the signal drop out.
EDIT: Yeah, that's a big nope. I'm still experiencing the problem after a total wipe and reflashing using LGUP refurbish mode. It's still dropping in and out, sometimes three times per minute. +1 to never use device unlock app.
I'm on stock unrooted 10d btw.
Oh, and the same SIM card works just fine in my older phones.

For what its worth, Att doesn't use the exact same bands as t Mobile....you might want to research some threads on the Att LG G5.
Can't find a fix to this anywhere
I can't make any calls or connect to 4G. So far I've tried resetting network settings, triple checking my APN settings, I've even got a new sim card but still nothing.
When I make a call it says 'not registered on network'
It won't even let me automatically connect in network operators.
I've even done a full factory reset but that didn't work either
Last week the phone worked fine but now the only thing that works on it is WiFi
Anyone know how to fix?
Where is the phone from?
Not sure too be honest. I bought it on eBay about 6 months ago. It's worked perfectly fine up until now.
Don't understand how it just stopped working. I've even updated it to the latest official firmware.
go to settings --> apps---> show the system apps and go to phone app and clear data of it
go to sim toolkit then and clear the data too if there are more then 1 then do it for all and try to reboot
if that doesnt work
type *#06# and check if u see ur imei
if u dont see it ur ****d up ur efs
Thanks for your reply
It didn't work though. I cleared the data on 3 of the phone apps data & 2 of the sim toolkit.
My imei does show when doing *#06#
When I restart the phone I just get a ? symbol top right. It eventually disappears and I have 2 bars signal but I still can't make any calls, texts or have 4G though
Just to confirm it IS my phone causing the problem as my sim card works fine in my wife's s8 plus. It's not the sim tray either causing the problem as I've tried hers with the same result
Anyone?
I'm desperate for a fix
Many many thanks for all your amazing help ?????????????????

No was it ****e! I was being sarcastic ?
Check if your IMEI is not blacklisted.
Found out it is blacklisted!
Anyone recommend going here

On what network was this phone previously used. The best thing to do is to contact the carrier and try to fix it with them
My understanding is IMEI blacklisted is usually when phone has been reported stolen, it's intended to render the phone unusable on any phone network.
Same
I have the same problem, is there anybody here can help me? Wipe data: done, reintall stock firmware: done, device info app installed and shows sim infomation with signal strength-141 Type lte, but, cell identity 0, lac 0, psc 0.
Wifi It's all right.
Hi all,
Phone was working fine but after upgrading to Android 7 I'm unable to place calls. it says "Emergency calls only" and when I try to place a call I get " Not registered on network".
- Phone was working fine prior to upgrade
- Tried different ROMs and got same result
- Tried another SIM card. Same problem.
- Used my SIM on another phone. Works fine
I read somewhere that this has something to do with the modem certificate and that the only way to fix the problem is by getting a Z3X or Octoplus box to connect to the phone.
Can anyone shed some light on this? I've been messing around with it for the last couple of days but still no luck...
Thanks in advance!
IMEI blocked, phone reported stolen, lost or contract not paid

I don't think it's like that. It may be, but it's not sure.
If OP said that phone was working properly before the update, I think that his EFS partition's got messed up.
If you have a total TWRP backup or an EFS backup, try to restore it.
If you still have no luck, your only option is Octoplus Box or such things.
Second hand phone right?
Mine is second hand phone, as well. 930S. Have had the same issue when I've flashed to 8+ ROM, and moving from no cell coverage area and then back into cell service area. I'm able to to a service search and it will find the towers and upon selection will connect back up.
If I flash to a different ROM, about same issue. As long as I remain in service area does fine. Skip out of the area and I may have to re-search.
I'v flashed different CSC's, no change really, except when I flash an AT&T CSC, then it seems to stay locked on a bit better, though with AT&T CSC I am unable to enter phone codes, so I went back to 'stock' (Korean phone Chinese regions). Stock has no CSC directory present in the root/system directory, which is interesting. I leave the Chinese regions unchecked and the phone finds local towers, US west coast, AT&T networks, T-Mobile, etc, just fine, overall. It's just on very weak signal or no signal that I may occasionally have to do a re-search when I'm back in a coverage area.
Your's sound much more a PITA.
