a few days ago I switched from cm to AEX 7.1.2 on my moto g. Whether that has anything to do with it I don't know.
Anyway last night the phone was working fine then this morning I see that the cell network is disconnected and the phone doesn't see the simcard. However when I put in another simcard from a different network it works normally. I switch back to my sim and it works for about 20 seconds where I can make a call or text then it shuts down again and dowsn't recognize the sim then does again once I have switched the sims but only for 20 seconds. I don't understand what is happening to the phone and why it is doing this. I need help. I have tried picking different network modes from the list after inserting this code #*#*4636#*#* nothing has worked so far. I haven't systematically gone through each one at a time yet and the list is quite long. I haven't seen a list of modes that long before there are over 10 of them from auto prl to scdma etc... Some of them I have never heard of like the scdma one. wif and bluetooth are working ok if that means anything. Thanks for any help
Also when I go into settings the network section is greyed out and under prefered network type it says Invalid Network Mode (-1) Ignore. I only tried changing the modes when this problem arose my changing these modes was not the cause
i've had similar issues, when i skipped using mobile data for a long time, my non-data SIM would dropout intermittently. i changed SIM slots didn't solve it either. other SIM was fine in either slot. just before replacing what i thought was a faulty SIM, without turning mobile data on, i just set the problematic SIM for data. that solved mys issue. however, running mobile data on back on the original setting didnt cause any more issues either.

Hello,
I have a Nexus 5 phone that came with Kitkat a few months back. The phone worked without issues until I decided to update to Lollipop 5.0 (OTA update) at the end of November. Initially the phone started to have troubles to detect the network at certain times - typically "playing" with the settings "Preferred network type" by changing from 4G to 2G, restarting, letting the phone detect the network on 2G mode and change back to 3G or 4G would fix the problem. The issue became more and more frequent until a point where i can not change the "Preferred network type" from 4G to any other type (as if it is "glued" on that setting). At this point my phone does not recognize at all the cellular network but It does seem to recognize the SIM card since i need to enter the 4 digit code to unlock SIM and it displays the network name, just no service.
I've researched the internet and I've tried several things but nothing seems to fix it such as restart mobile, change to airplane mode and back, take out and re-insert SIM card, request new SIM card from operator. The APN settings seem to be OK.
I've noticed that a new 5.1 version just came out and although I was not fully familiar with the process i decided to give it a try (after reading several instructions) and update manually (using factory images posted) and see if that would fix it. The phone is now with version 5.1 and still can't recognize the cellular network - no service. Everything else works fine, including Wi-Fi.
Has anyone experienced such issue after OTA update? The only odd thing I can think of is that I did the initial OTA update to 5.0 in US while i was on travel from Europe, but I can't say if this would in some way contribute to the issue. The mobile is D821 model.
Since I was stuck and mobile is within warranty period, I have sent it to service repair. I would be interested to know ideas of what could be the issue cause.
Sorry for long message, any help would be very much appreciated.

Hey guys,
This morning, my Mate 9 stopped making or receiving calls. 4G data works just fine. I am on AT&T using the chinese version MHA-AL00, been using the phone for few months now without any issues.
When I go to Settings-> More->Mobile Network->Card1 Network->Preferred Network Type and set it to 3G/2G auto or 2G only, my phone doesn't have a signal anymore. Switching to 4G/3G/2G auto brings signal back right away but only data works.
I came across a thread with similar issue on mate 7 but tried what they suggested with no luck
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/help/make-receive-calls-t3245378
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I love this phone, don't want lose it over this issue.
Thank you!
try change the sim card to the other sim slot and see what happens, i have two sims with tmobile and at the beginning my old sim was disconnecting for no reason I went and replaced it and problem was gone.
try airplane mode on, then off
Hey all, thanks in advance for any advice offered.
For some reason my GS8+ has a greyed out GSM signal bar with an 'x' next to it. As far as I remember the only thing I did was put it to charge overnight. I've tried removing the SIM, still grey, inserting another carrier's SIM (known to be working), still grey, my original SIM also works fine in another phone. Everything else not related to cell service works fine (wifi, bluetooth etc.). I can see the IMEI number in settings as usual.
I've tried resetting the network settings, factory resetting the phone, I've even reloaded the ROM via Odin. No joy.
The phone is pretty much stock, except for the fact that I changed the carrier software from AT&T to Verizon in order to use a particular LTE band. Since I did that, the phone worked fine for several months.
I've only noticed two things odd thus far. After reloading the ROM and downloading a few updates, a game (Empire) appeared from nowhere installed in my app drawer. Also, the Airplane mode icon in the notification shade is light blue, similar to when it's transitioning from off to on. Airplane mode seems to work though, because I can toggle it, and the wifi reacts as such.
I can't search network operators manually (says: Error while searching for networks), changing the network mode does nothing, and none of the secret dialing codes work either. They all say "Mobile network not available". With a SIM inserted, my SIM status menu says, Network: unknown, Signal strength: -113dBm 0 asu, Service state: Radio off.
Sorry if I'm long-winded, but I'd appreciate any assistance at all. Thanks again for taking the time to read.
Hey, I'm having the same problem. Did you find a fix?
Nope.
I had a same issue after I update girlfriend's s7 . The ROM (custom one) was based on newer version but the firmware and BL were old.
I know and I understand that you just put it to charge overnight but you can give a try to flash latest firmware CRED one.
Allso is mandatory to chose the correct country and carrier. Chose the country where you are and Verzion carrier
I have same issue tried flashing other roms. All didn't work
I was traveling to and from US and India. 2 Days back when I entered London airport for US, my mobile did not show any signal what so ever. It was no service. It was working fine when i boarded the flight in US.
Now following things I have tried according to my knowledge
1. I tried disabling the sim card, changing from 2g-3g- 4g. No improvements.
2. I went to menu by *#*#4636#*#*, and trying radio on and radio off. Nothing
3. I suspected that antenna is damanged and it hardware problem.
4. But then this wired thing happend, while playing around when both the sim are active, I turn of the sim one, the mobile data is switched back to second sim. Then when i again switch back the sim 1, it is automatically configured for 2g. It gets signal, I can make calls and it works good. Moment I switch the mobile data to that sim the network vanishes and back to no service/emergency calls.
5. I figured that there is some problem with the sim, so I inserted that sim into old samsung grand mobile which 3G phone. It works flawlessly.
6. Tried other sims in the moto G, 4g dosent work for some sim cards.
7. By reading on I found that lot of people have this problem and have solved it by flashing firmware. I tried that too. Tried stock rom, new osprey 7.* Nothing seems to be working.
Any thoughts and comments are welcome. I am kind of frustrated by this small bug. Might be lapse on motolora part. If someone is still active in this community please help, reply.
I am from the Philippines and I just recently get my v50 after it get fixed for a broken charging port. Apparently, Upon inserting my SIM (Globe) the sim toolkit can detect it but the signal is like jammed and there is an STOP/Disabled logo in it.
Any tips how can I fix it? I can't use my mobile data.
Same issue here looking forward on this
I had a similar issue. What I did was, I went into settings then mobile networks. (Forgive me if I don't explain properly I don't have the phone on me now) and then I think I went into apn, turn apn on Off.. or I think it was toggle with paygo/contract apn and the test.
That got it working for me.
