[Q] Sim card or Phone problem ??

Hi everybody,
I have a big problem with my phone (or with my sim card).
Since 2 days, and without touching anything, my phone has a lot of difficulty to connect the Network that I'm registered to (Orange).
I'd got some connection problems like these ones :
- "Your sim card doesn't allow you to connect this network"
- When activating the 3G it stays on "activating" (even if I reboot the system and pull out the battery for few seconds)
- Non-send messages
So I decided to wipe all data and reinstall. It worked…but…the next day it restarts..!!
Do you think it's caused by an app or by rooting the phone with xtc-clip ?
My specs :
- S-OFF
- Rooted
- RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.2_Radio_47.23a.35.3035H_7.53.39.03M_release_225747_signed.exe
PS : the RUU has been installed with the sim card inside the phone of course.

Installing ruu with sim in shouldn't be a problem.
Easiest thing would be try another sim before deciding what to do next mate.

Thanks for replying.
In fact my phone network works again since I've created the topic but I don't know at all how ..
I've tried my girlfriend's SIM yesterday but it is a blackberry one and I don't why my phone doesn't accept it to register .. I will try again or use a friend SIM this week end.
BTW does your 3g connection make about 5sec to be activated ? Before the problem appears in 1/2 sec I've got the 3g. Now it's more, but it works.
This is not an APN problem 'cause they're all OK and for messages it's not a problem from message center since it's OK.
So I am always wondering how the phone could have this behavior without any changes.
If it makes the same again, I will call my operator to know more about it and will make a feedback here.

It could well be network/operator related maybe they have a problem.
Anyway main thing is your back up and working again.

The problem isn't resolved unhopefully... It doesn't work at home .. Sometimes yes, and the rest of the time no network (even if I got all the bars of the network and the Edge Logo) and I can't do anything.
I called the operator yesterday, they say my SIM card was defective so I went to the operator's shop and they changed the SIM card.
But back at home, it doesn't work again .. And now I'm at my job's office and it works again ..
So I conclude that there is a network problem in my block of flats ?
I will call back them tonight to see what they tell to me and will make a feedback here.

Also I tried to swap phone, the same problem with my old Sony Ericsson.
I put my SIM in my girlfriend's Blackberry (network used to work for her), and it does'nt work. Then when she puts back her SIM card, she had no network as me...
So could it be a hack of SIM card to prevent you having network at home ? (it could seem a lil bit paranoiac I know ^^)

I don't think so mate.
More probable is that the mast that provides data that is closest to your home is at fault.
I would just make sure to report it and I'm sure others will have issues, so your provider should investigate and provide a solution.

I called the network provider, they say they will call me tomorrow for me to talk with a technician.
BTW my girlfriend called them earlier and they say this is a problem due to the residence.
I tried to ask them if there is a problem with the mast, they said it seems to be normal and network works well in my area...
But the network is fine out.. In the appartment it works about 10/15mins per hour ...
For the "SIM Hack" suggestion I told you, do you think this is possible ? (I doubt because no problem out ..)
Let's wait and see ! If you have any suggestions, don't hesitate !
Thanks for the support though !
Edit : always all the bars of network and E logo just sending, not receiving when it doesn't work.

Maybe your building is a blackspot meaning signal is not passing through happens to me indoors with wifi.
And where I live in a small village I can't get a good data signal indoors.
I have to turn off 3g altogether and opt for 2g only as it gives me better call signal.
But if I walk for 10 mins towards town I can switch to 3g and its perfect.
I would just wait to speak to the tech guys and see what they say.
Oh and forgot to mention my operator reduced my monthly bill due to my poor signal, haha.
Good luck hope they sort it for you.
If not try a different network sim just as a test.

The strange fact is that it used to work perfect in the building.
There are problems for about 4 days now.
When I forced 3G using "WCDMA only", it seems the signal was better and not blocked on E/G.
And now I turned it back to Auto and it works .. I don't understand what the **** is happening... !! It comes back to 3G/H.. but sometimes it fails again ..
I will wait for the tech guys, and if it's not solvable I guess I would ask for a commercial act such as yours !
Moreover this week, friends will come so we will see if they've got network (I believe they're at the same network provider, no luck ^^) .. !
Thanks for your support again mate, really appreciated !

My phone just started doing the same thing. Its a stock phone.

Finally nobody called me back but the network came back so no more problem now.. How ?? I simply don't know .. Good job "Orange".. !
Thanks for support though

" Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network "

Hi there,
I'm on vaca for one month in Africa and I am trying to use my sim card but I have this message :" Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network "
I tried two different sim cards but I still have the same issue.
Note that the phone was working perfectly yesterday with my Tmobile Sim Card.
It's an international One X so I don't think that I need to unlock it.
Do you guys have any solutions?
Thank you

it sounds like something tmobile end has changed on your account, if possible i'd call them to see if they can help get it working again
other thing to check is the roaming settings, check its enabled etc

Thanks for the reply.
I'm not using that Tmobile sim card anymore. But an Orange one.
Should I factory reset it and see if it'll work?
Thanks

i had this happen on mine, ive got tmobile sim, it went to tmobile orange signal, i tried to manually switch it back to tmobile (better signal coverage) and it said the same thing.
A reboot didnt fix it so i went into settings, storage, make more storage and then cleared all temporary data for all apps.
this seems to temp fix the issue and allows me to reconnect to my peferred network it still happens every now and then so it could be a software gitch with the hox

Just tried it. Didn't work
I will restore it and see how it goes

Even with the New Rom, Superwipe I still have the same issue ?

Sim card keeps asking me to set it up

So I have a sprint model HTC One M8 HK edition with straight talk service and sim card running Viper One OS, recently s-offed and sim unlocked my phone with the sunshine service. It worked well for the first day and then after that it kept asking me to set up my sim card. I thought it was just a read issue so i took it out, cleaned it off, and it worked for about 12-14 hours until I went to work today. Now it seems it is doing it nearly every hour or even less, I have to keep rebooting the phone to get it to read the card but every time it asks me to set it up again. After I select the set up prompt I go into my apn settings and the ones I had set before are all back and my data connection is back. After it happened again three times in an hour I downloaded a sim info app and here's where it starts to get weird...
I boot up my phone, the prompt is there to set up the sim card, so I press that and find my apn settings are back. I go into the sim app and it has my phone number and gsm phone type and all the regular stuff it should. I wait till it loses connection again and go back into the sim app, and now it has the previous user's phone number, listing the phone as CDMA, but still with my sim card number. So I rebooted the phone again, and out of curiosity, I did not press the sim set up prompt and went straight into the sim app only to see that my phone number and type and sim card are all still there, texting is working, but my phone says no data connection. I made sure the wifi was off (it was) and sent another text and went to a random web page, everything works fine but it still is asking me to set up sim card. So i go back into the sim reader app and when i open it it all of a sudden refreshes and the previous user's number and info are back. What the hell is going on? I thought it was a faulty sim card at first but it still shows my sim card number when I start to get no service. I have a new sim card on the way, just in case that's the problem. Anyone else had anything similar to this happen to them?

Not Registered to Network?

Today I lost my ability to make phone calls or do anything with my phone away from WIFI.
If I tried to make a phone call, I'd get a "Not Registered to Network" error message.
I can still do WIFI calling but nothing else away from WIFI connection.
I then went into network settings and chose "manual" for network operators. I was able to restore texting and calling. But I have no data. The options that I see from the scan after choosing "choose network operators manually" are 3-5 choices and they all read "Home". Some of these options give me error messages and others gives "Registered to network" - which then lets me call and text message.
So far I have tried rebooting. Taking out the sim tray and placing the sim card back in. I have tried resetting network settings. I have tried resetting APN to default.
Anyone know of a fix for this Samsung message occurring on the A70?
I am trying to do what I can to avoid resetting to factory defaults.
Thanks.

Others things I have tried:
Placing sim card in the other tray.
Making sure my sim card works in another phone. (It does.)

I fixed the issue.
Restoring APN to defaults or resetting APN, does NOT work, apparently.
I had to manually create and save an APN and enter the appropriate data, as instructed by my carrier's website.
The key data entry was probably adding a website (fake example: "t-mobile.com") to the "APN" entry, which was blank in the default APN that my Samsung was using. I wonder what happened there.

Last week an earthquake has occured at Istanbul (5.8) and all the gsm carriers stopped working for hours at whole country. That was interesting. And when you tried to call someone, phone were showing a dialog which was shown to you. And also as you said, peole had to use wifi to call someone via WhatsApp etc.
So, I think the problem you lived may be your gsm carrier's issue and probably they fixed it while you were trying to fix it yourself.

No. The notion of an outage of service occurred to me but ultimately the fact was my sim card worked just fine in my other phone.
The problem and fix had everything to do with the APN file. I'm just wondering why that APN would change all of sudden.
What I've read about Samsung phones is that this "Not registered to network" is a common problem.
I hope this thread will be useful to someone in the future.

Phone stopped receiving and making calls

hi everyone, i have a lg G7 EMW for almost two years now. as said my phone its an EMW, although I use the EM variant ROM for more than a year because of the lack of updates. never had any issues before.
some weeks ago i had to make a call and noticed it was not working, at first i though it was a cover area issue with my carrier, since it was a place a little far away.
but in the following weeks i started noticing a lot of messages saying 'a number called you and did not left a message' and them i realised that the phone actually never ringed, so i started making some tests and realised it was not making or receiving calls.
i cannot acess all the settings in 'call settings menu' it return me an error saying "network or sim card error" but my 4G internet connection and SMS in the other way, works fine.
I already tried my SIM card in another phone, It worked normal. then i tried another SIM in my G7 and it has not worked also.
i have also tried to go back to my country open rom in a fresh install, but nothing changed.
yesterday after receive a cell broadcast notification, it worked for a short period an them stopped again, so i suspect may be some problem with the network, seems intermittent somehow
have any of you faced similar issue or know any solution? is there something i can do in service menu to see if its a hardware problem?

There were networking changes, so you need a sim card that is compatible with these changes.
If your SIM was purchased two years ago, it may not be compatible.
Just contact your phone provider, whoever it is, and ask them to sell you a compatible LTE Sim card. I had to buy one from Net10/Safelink for 99 cents, because the one I bought two years ago from Best Buy for "Net10" was not compatible with the new changes. All phone service providers should have a "buy your own sim" program, so just contact them for it.

check all necessary information in phone's settings about section.
Is any information missing there or blank?

i can give that a try but i'm not sure, my LTE and SMS seems to work normal, it is only the calls the problem.
the other SIM card i tested on my G7 was from a different carrier and the problem persisted
also my sim worked normal on other phone (Moto G5 Plus)

Call your carrier and ask them if they are using VOWIFI and VOLTE for their calls now.
The phone falls back to 3G mode on calls.
If the SIM or the tower you connect to is not provisioned for VOWIFI/VOLTE, the calls will use 3G.
if the tower is provisioned for VOWIFI but your SIM is not, then the calls will fail. SMS will not fail since that's LTE already.

This problem arises when particular phone has lost phone identification numbers such as S/N, IMEI SV and mainly IMEI. if it's the case then you must try flashing latest stock firmware for you model.
