[Q] help! mt3g says sim cant connect to network - myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok im having problems on this stock mt3g slide.
i put my sim in and the phone recognizes it, but i cant connect
to the network. the sim seems to work fine in another mt3g slide. hopefully somebody has seen this before and knows of a
fix, even if it involves rooting and a custom rom,radio i'd really like to see an answer.
thanks for your time

If your stock I would call or go to a store and get a new sim card first before you do anything. And if you got the phone from T-Mo and there is an issue it may be replaced by them.

Lost Network Please HELP!!!

Hi Guys,
I'm running 2.2 froyo DJ Droid,
Everything was great till today morning when i go off the train and my phone lost the network, Limited service only!! I tried factory rest, apn settings again, switching between hsdpa and gsm only, nothing!!!
It's a sim free phone, running three UK
have you tried re-seating your sim?
Call three.
There may be issues in your area.
You should do this before you start troubleshooting yourself. Its much more likely that they broke something than you.
When this happened to me, it turned out to be a faulty sim card.
Try your sim in another phone?

I747m telus network problem

I have a problem with my telus i747m, I have unlocked it and am trying to use it on rogers but cant. I have tried different sims.
My problem is I dont have a network connection all the time. When I do have a connection as soon as i get a text or try to make a call the phone looses the network connection, when making a call the call gets through but the phone looses connection and the call then gets cut.
no data connection at all. I have rooted the phone and tried flashing the modem posted in development section but it did not help.
do you guys think its a hardware problem, or software?
also when no network is connected and I try searching for a provider it ask me to insert a sim. I have tried different sims and both work fine in another s3 i have.
The phone has a strong signal when it connects to the network and then as soon as the 4g pops up or after a couple of seconds the signal just drops and loses the connection. Then it will keep on getting a signal and instantly drop the network connection over and over again. i have another s3 i can try swapping parts but i dont know what to swap.
hellpppp meeeee!!!
Ok i used rf nv manager andbthe imei is fine.

There is a specific Rogers modem that you can try flashing, other than that, I'm stumped.

lol yeah its a odd problem. ill try flashing that, the modem listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898 says rogers, telus, bell is this what you are talking about?
thanks
update so i was about to try flashing the modem again, i poped in the sim turned on the phone and noticed the signal wasnt dropping when wifi was connected. I then shut of wifi and as soon as the 4g symbol poped up the network connection dropped, I then shut off data and got the signal back i havnt lost it sinse and i made a 40 minute call to rogers with no issue; I have full bars.
so it seems when data is turned on the network gets disconnected. hope this helps in finding the problem.
i played with the settings a bit and this is what happen:
GSM only + data enabled = phone works fine
HSPA only + data enabled = as soon as 4g pops up network drops
GSM/HSPA (auto) + data enable = as soon as 4g pops up network drops
GSM/HSPA/LTE(auto) + data enable = as soon as 4g pops up network drops
all of the settings work if data is disabled.
I have just flashed the latest bell jelly bean leak and still the same problem with data turned on phone loses connection.
I have the same setup (Telus SGS3 with Rogers sim) as you but don't encounter that problem. You might want to try to use your warranty for the problem as it shouldn't do that on stock in the first place.

yeah i tried manually setting the apn too. didnt make a differance, also tried the rogers mvlle8 modem no differance basically the phone works with data off, or only gsm with data on.
I have another s3 i thought it could be the sim holder or something tried swapping that, it didnt change anything. do you guys think i should try swapping the antenna

its getting tricky to play with that unless you have a good knowledge about wat you doiong and that you may have no offense here
wat about the warranty ?
I bought it used and have already opened it up to try swapping parts wwith my other s3, also have flashed it with custom rom and im guessing the previous owner did aswell because the flash counter was at 5 I think ive voided the warranty. Im pretty good at taking things apart and not afraid lol. I was a mechanic so yeah.

Check your APN settings. On stock, when I switched sim cards, the secondary provider didn't have any and they needed to be added manually.

im going to smash this thing with a hammer.
ok no im not but i feel like doing it.

Can't find network, no data, WiFi works fine though.

Got this phone with the problem already, I installed a custom ROM hoping that would fix it but still doesn't work.
Cannot find network, though it is showing 3 bars?
Can't make calls, can't use data.
WiFi works just fine.
EDIT: Should probablly give some more info:
T-Mobile model
ROM: CleanROM A.C.E.
SIM card works fine in my other phone.
EDIT2: Ok so after more fiddling I got it to pick up a signal from AT&T with the "Find Network" search. I'm thinking this has been locked to AT&T and I just need to flash back to a stock ROM and unlock it, thoughts?
I know I get T-Mobile signal at my house my other phone picks it up just fine and I'm using the same exact SIM in both.

Maybe someone has flashed a wrong modem/rom on the phone so it ruined everything..
You said it's T-Mobile phone.. I guess it's gotta be locked to t-mobile..
I would suggest to post this on T-Mobile Note 2 forum.. They would know a way to solve your problem.. This forum is for international note 2..

*#06 etc to get your imei display on the phone. Check imei matches with imei number underneath the battery. If they match and apeears to be valid you may have a locked or blacklisted phone. Blacklisted means its imei blocked nationally due to fraud such as lost stolen and insurance replacement provided etc.
Good luck

[Q] Flash Phone No Data!

Hi, last night i flashed my sprint lg g2 stock/rooted phone to cricket using DFS, called up cricket and had them switch to the new flashed phone, and since i have not been able to get data 3g or even 1x on the phone.
I have flashed several phones and never encountered this problem, but this is my first LG phone, Rest were samsung and HTC
Texting and Calls work Great
It constantly lets me know "Mip 67" "Mip 111" and "Unable to Establish a wireless data connection" .
I have searched everywhere and although i can similar people with the problem, all are on sprint.
I have gone through DFS settings many times, reflashing, and nothing is seeming to work or stick
Any help or guidance would be much appreciated, an andorid phone without any internet might as well be a flip phone
Have you tried updating your profile while on WiFi?
A lot of ROMs for the g2 require this
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
update the data profile? i do click update when the mip error pops up, but it always fails..
ive done *228 multiple times, but doesnt get the 3g going
Are you connected to WiFi. I'm on sprint so I'm guessing. What band does cricket use?
Sent from my LG-LS980 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
yes, whether im connected to wifi or nothing it gives error.. this is normal with sprint optimized apps when on a flashed cricket phone though.. sprint connection optimizer wont work for all the right reasons... ok i made progress, got 3g, reflashed with simple ip only, no mobile ip. and i get 3g, but not consistant.. but its about progress not perfection! still open to help and advice to solidify this rocky connection
edit: anyone know how to edit the apn settings?? I go to settings and all, i can see yhe apn settings but cannot edit them... first time ever for me on that one

i wish it was that simple. He has a cricket sim card and somehow able to edit his apn settings.
on mine, its a sprint ls980, still has a sprint sim card in it..
update on whats ive notice over the day.. Itll randomly connect to '3g', but when you go to settings and status, its only really 1x.. mobile state is usually saying its 'connecting', once it does connect data drops out..
from what i believe, its still trying to connect to spring network for 3g, but will use cricket for 1x. might have something to do with the sim card, but i have popped it out to see what happens and it still as sketchy as before.

Ok, got all fixed,.
if you have cricket and are trying to use a ls980, forget using it on crickets cdma network.. go get a sim card from cricket for gsm, pop it in, some build.prop edits, and youre good to go.. pm me if anyone needs any help

Sprint M8 wont connect to 4G

I flashed an aosp rom and ended up toggling my network from LTE to 2G and to 3G. Now I cant connect to LTE at all I even RUUed back to stock unrooted and thats didnt fix anything. Is there anything left I can do or any apn settings i can try im lost?
Any suggestions. Sprint wont fix it since its been rooted. I think the LTE sim card is a problem and wont accept a signal from the tower.

Have you tried another sim or that sim in another phone? How about reseating the sim in your phone after a fresh boot. Have you checked in the forum for the rom you installed?
