oneplus locked on giffgaff sim - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i have two oneplus ones
one works fine with any sim but the other one seems to be locked on giffgaff and cant get any other sim to get signal.
I have tried 3, EE, but no signal. the only sim that works is the giffgaff sim.
The phone is used and had many roms installed. could there be anything that could of locked it to giffgaff network.
Any recommendations to try?

you will have to restore it back to default with colour os and then install a custom rom

[Q] SIM Not Detected - Google nexus S I9020A

I recently bought an unlocked Google Nexus S from amazon. The Device works fine on ATT network. When I got it to India and tried inserting an Airtel SIM in it. The phone shows complete Signal strength but says emergency calls only. On the lock screen it says insert SIM.
When I search for available mobile networks it shows my network but unable to connect to it. It does not even ask for unlock code when I insert a SIM from another carrier.
Is this because the phone is locked or is there some other problem?

What network frequencies does Airtel use? If non of them match that could be why, oh and Nexus phones are never network locked
Sent from my ice cream powered Nexus S
Yeah, frequencies should be the reason here.
But only for 3g, the us always being special, especially at&t. ^^ 2g should work worldwide. Set it to "2g only" and see... (if it works, slow data, but at least you can make calls)
I got a Samsung captivate from ATT and it worked also my Galaxy S 4G. All these are quad. band phones so, they work worldwide. Could be some other problem. Got a good deal, so dont want to return it, but I guess I have no option now.
Tried a new sim?
im gonna be going to india in a month or so and i wanted to know if the i9020a will atleast work with voice in india. airtell or vodafone it doesnt matter. I don't need 3g but i was hoping voice would work so i could just use this phone in india.
did you try to reset the phone?

LTE 4G not working on both sim

I'm on 5.1.9 but despite i activated the option only the Sim used for data traffic can actually connect to 4G. The other Sim seems forced and stuck in 3G at 900MHz (band 8)
There's no use for LTE on the phone sim unless you are lucky to live in China, India or Finland AND use a sim card of the view carriers supporting VoLTE in the OP6.
No sense reply. OP declares dual 4G on both Sim. My phone supports 4g only one sim and the worse the secondary sim is locked on 3G band 8
Are you using any custom rom? i faced similar issue on havoc rom

No. Pure stock 5.1.9
I had the same problem. But i went back to 5.1.8 and problem solved now dual 4g active.
Crazy but settings the phone on the English instead of my local language the problem seems gone.
I'm in America and I'm having the same problems after the 5.1.9 update, one SIM is always in regular GSM mode even with the dual-4G mode enabled.

That is completely false. Even T-Mobile in the US supports VoLTE. Even if it didn't though, it still allows for faster SIM switching since it was already on LTE.
Curious how you guys are checking it. Mine both say VoLTE and it seems to be fine for me.
I reset the network settings and it work for a few hours. The dual sim 4g instructions are broken .

dual sim issue... Verizon/tmobile

I've had duel sims running with no issue since I bought the phone. Now today all of a sudden the Verizon sim will not work in this phone. I've tryed switching positions.... And by itself... NOTHING... I put the Verizon sim in a Verizon phone and works fine...
Any settings or somthing I can check? This phone is begining to be more trouble than it's worth.
Are you sure a Verizon sim will work with this phone? Usually Verizon runs on the CDMA network. If the phone is GSM only, the Verizon sim reverts to voice over LTE. As far as i know, this phone does not support voice over LTE.
I'm just guessing.
An educated guess though
But check the data network settings.
Play with the dual sim settings.
Sometimes one of my sim slots just disconnects for no reason

It seems like the vivo nex snapdragon 845 version (the pop-up camera one) is missing a band 13 for 4G lte. Does that impact the connectivity in any way on Verizon?
Also is your model the chinese rom or the global rom?

Dual SIM / Google Fi

Does anyone have any clue as to whether or not I could run a Verizon SIM and a Google Fi SIM on this? I currently have the Google Pixel 4XL unlocked using a Verizon SIM and a Google Fi eSIM and was looking to get the 8T as a replacement. But I need both SIMs to work in the phone.
I travel the US and in many places I have spotty signal on one or the other and need to be able to switch between them.
I have been reading that the 8 and the 8 Pro have had (or still have?) issues with the dual SIM not being available.
TIA

If you have the esim for fi and have the unlocked dual sim you should be fine. I converted my 7t to the international dual sim and used a T-Mobile and a Verizon sim without issue. If they didn't have dual sim available in assuming they were carrier locked firmware

Question Sim Card Regional Lock Steps...?

Bought phone from India, live here in Canada.
Just to confirm for clarity sakes.
Use an Indian Sim card here in Canada, and make a call here to some number for 5 minutes.
Switch sims to Fido (Canadian Network) no issues?
Confirming since this is the first time I have ever read/heard about the above.
Ideally, that should have been done when in India. Try, hopefully it still works
