'no service' on any sim card with xda 2s. - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

I have just thismorning installed the 3500 update and got my XDA 2s to connect to my Nokia car kit without loss of connection. (Got off the forum this morning).
However now i cant get any GSM connection to my SP. There is just a '!' next to my signal bar, soft and hard resets dont seem to have any effect.
On a hard reset (original O2 rom) when the pin code screen first appears if im quick enough and type my PIN in the connecting dots go next to the signal bar for about 10seconds while O2 stuff is installing then the symbol just go back to the '!'. Any other time the status symbol just does not change, it does not even try to connect but just representions 'no service'.
My SIM card works fine in other phones and there is nothing physical as far as I can see wrong with my XDA. I simply lost connection upon the installation and soft reset of my XDA after the i-mate bluetooth patch.
If anyone else has had this problem or has a suggestion for me then please let me know.
my msn addy is [email protected] if can/want to use that.
Thanks, Ben.

Also when i try to manually choose my GSM network, i.e. press on either of the 3 buttons, Find Network, Set Networks and Select Manual I get the messages "Unable to register on selected network. Choose another network, or disconnect your data connection and try again" for the first buttons and "Unable to read setting from network. Try viewing settings later, or dissconnect data connection and try again." for the second.

I have also had problem with my xdaiis displaying Invalid or missing sim card. Happened this afternoon for no particular reason, not had a chance to test my sim card with another phone yet but hopefully will be able to tomorrow.
Will let you know the results

I was advised to hard reset my phone multiple times, which i had done, and no change.
So i resorted to re-flashing the ROM,... using the available ROM on SourceO2. What i was not counting for however was that there was a mistake and the file which states for XDA 2s actually should be for XDA 2. As this proggy has erased my ROM, and then kindly informed me that I am usin the wrong version so does jack all.
Therefore I am now stuck with a dead XDA and no means of putting a ROM on there (seached for hours), cant find an XDA 2s ROM anywhere.
Hope you get yours sorted. Let me know if have any suggestions.
Ben.

No GSM

I wonder whether someone could help me. My XDA exec is not detecting phone signals for a week or so. Phone menue and settings wont work and I am not able to search for network manually. Also the PDA working has become increasingly sluggish. On starting the screen it shows NO GSM at corner of the initial blue screen with bubbles. Soft and Hard reset didnt do anything. I have checked my sim in other phone, the sim is fine. Another thing is that device does not show the EMI number
Can you help my
Try upgrading or reinstalling the phone's ROM and radio versions. There may be a problem with either of those important elements.

Help! No more GSM network/reception :(

Hi
I replaced my P3300's screen a while ago because it was cracked. Everything seemed to go OK and the phone worked fine for a few days.
I don't know if this is related or not (maybe I messed the antenna up during the process, but since it worked for a while afterward I'd guess not...?)
Anyway, for the last couple of days I've had no network reception whatsoever.
The last time I remember it working was in the evening a few days ago. I fell asleep with the WIFI on and woke up with the phone dead. I turned it on and it didn't ask me for my PIN like it usually does, and it couldn't find my GSM network. It's been like that since.
When I press the green "dial" button nothing happens. When I go into settings > telephone, it asks me for my PIN and I can then access the options but it doesn't find any networks when I search.
Now every time I turn it off and back on, it never asks for my PIN.
I've tried removing the battery and the sim card but that hasn't helped.
Any ideas??
Thanks in advance
Meh. On a possibly maybe related note, I've just realised my PocketCM Contacts hangs when I try to launch it. Could it be a loose sim card connection causing both these problems? Although I'm pretty sure all my contacts are on the phone and not the sim card, and the sim looks fine and is placed properly...
edit - just been into programmes > sim manager (not sure that's what it is in english, my phone is french) and I get a "sim busy" error message (again, not sure if that's exactly what it is in english...). Hmmmmm
Well it gets even weirder... It seems I can receive and send text messages!
I've been getting texts from my operator saying I have new voice messages (which I obviously can't listen to) and I've also had texts from a friend and been able to reply to them and they've been received. Even though the icon at the top still has an exclamation mark so supposedly no network.
My iGo GPS also doesn't seem to work anymore (it hangs during initialisation process) although Tomtom works fine.
Someone please tell me they have an idea what could be going on! This is doing my head in
Dam, you have all my solidarity man!
Are you using radio 3.39.90 by chance? Even if not I would still flash another radio.I also suggest to check that your device was correctly reassembled if you have any doubt about it.

GPRS problem unsolved

Hi,
Im using unlocked T-mobile MDA pro 64mb phone with WM 6.1 (build 19960.1.1.8 TML)
The problem is that when I connect to GPRS, Internet explorer, outlook and most of the internet softwares (opera browser, google maps etc...) don't work. Internet explorer stops at loading. outlook says synchronization error. But, a few softwares like IM messenger, some trading software work fine. The problem occurs only when on GPRS. Everything works fine on wifi.
I have been facing this problem since I have unlocked the phone and flashed it for the first time. I have flashed for several times with various roms. initially it works but soon problem reappears. hmm.. Problem did not appear in WM 6.5 (but phone is hell slow. So, im forced to remove it). Further the problem is not network specific as I tried on various networks.
Guys please help me.. I searched a lot on internet and it seems like no one is facing this type of problem in the whole world except me

Hi!
thnx for ur reply... I'm desperately waiting for it...
Any how I tried this... as usually it worked fine at the beginning and problem repeated again. The new development is that the application which I said to be working previously (IM messenger etc...) are also now working now...
Very much frustrated about this issue as I'm unable to find the background reason for it . Even the XDA forums cant help it....And the worst part is that warranty is not going to apply as I unlocked it..
Yet no solution...
info?
Which network?
Prepaid/postpaid?
Did you add a new connection manually yet it won't work?
You are doing something wrong because this is weird.
Go to start>settings>connection>connections>tasks>add new connection>
name...anything, access point.....airtelgprs.com / internet (for idea ) / aircelgprs etc.
Done.
Launch browser , it should connect if you have data plan / enough credit.

Hi
Thanks for your suggestions.
Im using airtel network. and all those settings are already set on my phone.
Yes. I accept that my problem is weird. Thats the reason why I'm unable to find a solution for it.
Yet... I'm testing by changing various roms and still no success.
every time the problem repeats on 2-3 usages of gprs.
When I use opera browser it says that "I have some problem in settings". What to do I've checked those settings for hundreds of times and further if there is a problem in connection settings then why the heck it worked for the first few times?
Some stupid suggestions
Try same sim in another handset,
Try another sim or another network in THE Uni,
Try another cell tower area,
Because I have tried every single ROM ...shipped or cooked and this has nothing to do with GPRS getting disconnected.
As you said "I am the only one in the world with this problem" , means it cannot be a real problem , have faith , keep trying.
And for the warranty...Just flash the Original ROM and you are good again!

Hi
I did every experiment I can think of.... Including testing this sim on other phone or testing the other sim on this phone.
I even tried flashing the original T-mobile rom.
I also tried to find if the programs I install has something to do with the problem...but found none of it affects.
As you said it may not be a rom problem.
If it fails to work completely then I can guss some thing about the origin of the problem like rom or hardware or whatever...
As it is working well initially, I don't understand where exactly the problem lies...
have you done a doc-format? sometimes that can get rid of very peculiar problems.

Hi
Is the process of using mtty and task 28 55aa command what you call doc-format (sorry for ignorance)?
Then I've already did it...
anyway thanks for your suggestion...
I think the real culprit is activesync. anyway I have to do some tests and confirm.
To clear my doubt I decided to conduct a small test. I factory reset my system for three times to check the gprs connectivity...
First reset:
1. GPRS worked flawlessly.
2. On connecting to pc + pairing up + synchronizing problem reappeared.
second reset:
1. GPRS worked flawlessly.
2. On connecting to pc by pairing up problem reappeared.
First reset:
1. GPRS worked flawlessly.
2. On connecting to pc without pairing up problem reappeared.
So, this strengthened my assumption that the problem is with active sync.
I cannot confirm so easily...
Further I would use my phone with out connecting to PC for 3-4 days and check if problem reappears.
Then I would check it by connecting to a different PC. Then I can confirm whether the problem is with active sync of my system or the phone...
By the way, today is the second day of my testing without connecting to pc and no issues detected till now
folks,
Today on the fourth day of my test, I conclude that connecting to my pc creates the gprs problem. No Idea how and why...
suggestions any one?
anyhow I would connect my phone to a different pc and check out if the problem is with my pc or with the phone...
no suggestions?
How much space have you got on the phone after sync? The computer may be trying to sync to uni even though you are not aware of it.
How confident are you with dealing with your computer registry, I mean, if you are using a Windows PC that is. You should try to clear any traces of old pairings from the PC before connecting the Uni to it again and allowing it to do a fresh start. It may be loading all sorts of corrupted or duplicated data that are messing up with your system. Backup your registry first, just in case you mess it up by mistake, to be on the safe side. Then, get stuck in and search for the word activesync (or words to that effect in your language) on the registry and where it shows the pairing settings delete only the keys related to pairing with the Uni, then try connecting again. Hope this helps.

Desire WiFi conection problems.

Hi Everybody,
Firstly I wish to apologise if there is a thread for this somewhere, I did a search but found nothing to help. So to the problem, I am unable to connect to my home network, I get as far as the phone trying to connect then it just says dissconected. I imported this phone from the UK.
Things I have done so far, changed the channel on my modem router to 6
Reset the phone to factory settings.
Followed the setup screens and switched on WiFi, selected my network (excellent signal) I am using WPAPSK. and typed in my key then tapped connect. The phone goes through the process of trying to connect but then advises disconnect above the green dots at the bottom of the screen. the screen then reverts back to select network. I did all this setup straight out of the box the first time but it did not connect then so I moved on in the setup process and thought I would do it again after completing set up. Tried again to no avail, that`s when I did the factory reset. I have only had tis phone for three days and it is a steep learning curve for me,so any instuction/advice you guy`s can give me would be gratefully received.
THANK YOU.
Try changing the security to WEP1. I know it's lousy, but iirc Desires have problems with WEP2. Someone correct me if I'm wrong

[Problem] No network/signal

Hi
Just got my new Samsung Galaxy Nexus today, but it cant find a network and have no signal.
I have tried to search for network in settings, but it comes up empty.
In the "about phone" page under signal it says -113db and 0 asu (varies a little bit, but not much)
I'm in Norway using OneCall, on the Telenor network, but the phone cant find any network.
The simcard works fine in other android devices.
The phone was sold as unlocked/simfree.
It says "onecall" on the bottom of the notification bar when I pull it down.
There are also apn settings for my simcard (looks like they are read from the simcard)
Wifi works great, and I can't see any other problems than that it cant find a network, but that is kind of a big problem since it is a phone!
I have rebooted multiple times, three factory resets, and tried with another simcard, but no luck.
Anyone have a idea what to try? should I try a custom rom? or do you think its a hardware problem?
I just saw "Telenor" when I searched for networks, but when I tried to connect it said it couldn't connect, and now I cant find it again.
Seems like I just have the worst possible antenna! (or radio?)
What type of phone did you have previously? Maybe you need an updated SIM card?
A new SIM card has solved this type of issue for quite a few people so give it a shot!

But it works in other phones like the HTC Desire and the old Hero.
I just drove into town, and I got a few bars, could make phone calls and so on.
But back home it still cant find a network.
Which leaves me to believe that the antenna (or the radio) is bad.
Do I have to root it and install a custom recovery to install the stock rom again?
Or is there a "rescue" solution? like on HTC devices.
Works fine here. Test a custom rom or another radio or something.. If it not works go back to stock and return it. I bought a HTC once with a bad antenna.
same problem
what did you end up doing kjetil84? I have the same problem. at home I have like no signal, but other places I have a litle. I use Talkmore witch also uses telenor.
an update would be great
That happened to me once before, try doing a factory reset.
still a problem
Just tried a factory reset, and it did not help
I love the phone, but at this time its not usable for me
