Motorola Dext - No Imei/APN/Signal

Hi, I don't know what the hell has happened to this phone but after looking at it I can see there is no IMEI, no APN settings and no signal.
The phone has recently been unlocked from Orange to allow the use of an O2 Sim card. Using one of those internet unlock sites. It has been working fine for the past 2 weeks since unlock.
I don't really know what information to give;
Signal: red circle bar
APN: empty, I tried to add an APN to the list but it would not save. It just goes back to an empty screen.
Network: unknown
signal strength: 0dBm 0asu
mobile netowrk type: unknown
service state: out of service
mobile network state: disconnected
IMEI: Unknown
IMEI SV: Unknown
Any help would be awesome

im having the same problems but i managed mine to detect and display my network name but still no signal
i am seeing my imei and imeisv (20)
dial this on the dialer *#*#4636#*#* and in that settings go to phone info scroll all the way down make sure radio is on
and select gsm only but thats as much as i can come up with im stuck still with signal strength 0 dbm 0 asu

ok i was doing some reading. and i found it to be possible that the phone doesnt have the apn settings for all networks in built, so putting in your current carriers apn settings manually should work, im going to try this to see if it works, i just saw the part where you said you tried this but it wouldnt save, still going to give it a shot, mine was also unlocked from orange to use on digicel jamaica networks and it worked for about 2 weeks, then BAM! red anti circle for signal or circle with slash through it or cancel icon. and nooooo signal none whatsoever. but with the *#*#4636#*#* settings i managed to get it to display my carriers name when i drag the notifications menu down. i dont know if flashing the radio will fix this but i was told this moto cliq has the latest radio already. still searching for solutions
this problem is all over with 0 solutions lol

I managed to solve the problem a couple of weeks after making the thread by simply rooting it and installing a custom ROM, I think it came with a radio flash as well but can't remember. It's my sisters phone and it seems as though she hasn't had any problems with it since then so all is good.

post the radio and rom you used mate, share the wealth.

Really need your help quickly. Orange Message Centre Number?

Basically, earlier today for some reason my Nexus S was refusing to send a text to a particular person, it just kept saying message not sent. In a stupid attempt to fix it, I googled for assistance and ended up changing the SMSC number or whatever it is and now I can't send a text to anyone.
I've been searching around and got a converter site where I convert the SMSC number. I was told you enter your phone carrier's SMSC (which is Orange for me) so I found that out to be: +447973100973 and there was an alternative +447973100974, neither work though.
So, I put that in and converted and got this: AT+CMGW=24
079144973701904711000A9210299232900000AA0CC8F71D14969741F977FD07. Googling told me that it's the first sixteen numbers in the second line you enter in the SMSC bit on your phone, so I did that, pressed update and still none of my messages are sending.
Have I got the carrier's SMSC number wrong? There's also a 'Receiver' box on that converting website but that already had the numbers 0192292309 in it. Tried everything I can but I'm at a loose end now and very frustrated. PLEASE can anyone shed some light and help me fix my phone? Thank you.

Anyone please? I really need to sort this.

Seems like you had the right idea but you put in too many digits. The highlighted part has 18 digits, not the 16 you're supposed to have. Not sure if that was just an error or not. Anyway, assuming those carrier SMSCs are correct, you should be entering either 0791449737019037 or 0791449737019047 in the SMSC field.

That was an error on my part asharptm but thanks.
Does anyone think setting it back to factory settings will help? What will that do exactly, wipe out my Apps, Messages, Contacts and basically put the phone to what it was when I got it?
Also, heard putting your sim in someone else's phone, entering the SMSC in their phone and then back into your own might help?
Tried that there daleski and still not sending unfortunately. Thanks for your help though.

Description
This command is used to report signal strength.. Notice the command is used only in platform
6290 and 6246.
Defined values
3G network(registered to 3G network)
+ZRSSI: rssi,ecio,rscp
The unit of Rscp is 0.5dbm ( in 0.5 dBm step with no sign).
The unit of Ecio is 0.5db ( in 0.5 dB step with no sign).
The relation is: 2*rssi=rscp-ecio
e.g.
+ZRSSI: 49,8,106
Rssidbm = -rssi = -49dbm
Eciodb = -ecio/2= -4db
Rscpdbm = - rscp /2= -53dbm
2G network(there is no ecio and rscp value when registered in 2G network ,so set
value of 1000)
e.g.
+ZRSSI: rssi,1000,1000
No network e.g.
+ZRSSI :OK

HTC One S not getting reception

I've just followed most of the guides for unlocking, installing recovery, rooting, superCID'ing and updating my phone. I'm currently back to 1.78 stock.
I've unlocked the phone and am using it with GiffGaff, but I get no reception and "Emergency Calls Only". If I *#*#4636#*#* to get phone info I can see the following:
Code:
Singal strength: -75dBm -18asu
Location: LAC = unknown CID = unknown
Neighboring CID [[email protected]]
Roaming: Not roaming
GSM service: Emergency Calls Only
GPRS service: Disconnected
Network type: GPRS
Message waiting: False
Call redirect: false
Call status: false
PPP sent 0/0
PPP received 0/0
Number of ppp reset since boot: 0
Pref. network type: GSM
Anyone got any ideas why I cant use the phone/txt? The One S is (so far) being a lot less co-operative than my HD2!

*bump*
No suggestions anyone? I currently have a very shiny, very fast, but very useless "phone".

have you tried to set the APN first?
my phone doesn't register to network if no APN is set, emergency call only on display.

Have you tried manually selecting network operation in mobile network settings? Search for networks a see if your phone is finding any networks at all.

Yes it can find networks. It shows a star next to the recommended network. If I choose one it will register successfully, but I still have an X for reception.
Oddly I can sometimes use the data but never call or txt. I have tried with both orange and giffgaff

I believe I've set the apn, or it was set automatically. When I go to the options there are some stock looking values for the network.

Try wiping cache and dalvik cache without having simcard on, reboot to rom and reboot again, then put the simcard back when the rom has fully booted at the second time. Twice after flashing custom rom my phone could not register to the network at all and doing that was only thing to fix it. :sly:

Nexus 5 Network Type Tests

I for one dont feel the need for LTE myself yet. Perhaps if im dling a large file or something i would want to use it, but my ever day activities that i use my phone for, 4G(HSPA) does just fine. So i decided to do some tests. The main reason i would turn off LTE and just use HSPA is id assume it saves battery. Ive come to this conclusion knowing LTE requires more phone power to hold the signal, and also the conclusion that when im on LTE, my phone signal is always significantly lower then when on HSPA. 1/2 bar vs 4/5bar normally.
How id normally turn off lte was using a shortcut to the Phone Info menu. Where you could change network modes. By default it is LTE/GSM Auto(Prl). I would normally set it to WCDMA Preferred to have it only use 4G(HSPA). However every reboot would reset that.
Until recently i found the Network Mode option within the settings menu. Wondering what the differences are side affects are, or if one mode affects the settings of another. So far ive found that the Network Mode and Phone Info modes are some what linked.
Network mode is under Mobile Network within the More Wireless Settings.

Tried but in vain
when i am setting the Set Phone Info Mode to anything other than LTE/GSM Auto(PRL), it resets back to the default setting which is LTE/GSM Auto(PRL) as soon as i exit the phone information screen.
