Im using a Motorola Defy 2.2 MB525 (rooted)
My location: Mumbai, India.
I have IDEA sim card. Most of the time my phone network gets screwed. I was using Vodafone sim for last 8-9years, but i was facing network problem since i bought DEFY. I thought its network problem due to new vodafone 3G activation.
So I switched to IDEA with 3G. But now same here. I get no network. And if i get network, 3G doesnt gt network.
I asked other IDEA users.. they get full network.. even in washrooms.
But its only me on DEFY with EMERGENCY MODE (RED + sign).
I think its because of the FROYO update. Any HELP ? FIX ?
I hv installed Defy Baseband Switcher, network is stable now.. Hope it works fine, will update soon.
Please if any1 has more fixes feel free to post

I've used my Defy in Korea and there was no problem.
Yesterday I enrolled T-mobile prepaid plan(Monthly 4G $50 and changed my SIM card.
Talking and Texting is working but 3g connection isn't working.
On the status bar, there is "G" sign which means GPRS connection (I found it in google)
When I used Defy in Korea, there was "3G" sign or "H" sign which means 3G/HSDPA(much faster than GPRS)
I think my Defy is only taking GSM(GPRS) frequency.....
I setup "*#*#4636#*#* -> Phone information -> WCDMA preferred or WCDMA only" but still not working.
Now I'm about to try to find a US ROM and flash it... Will it be helpful??
I don't want to lose all the apps & settings........ but if it fix my problem, I'll try it.
What do you think about my idea??
You don't need to flash a new ROM
Your problem is quite common because your ROM (Koren) uses a different baseband. The baseband for US 3G networks is different. Just download the Defy Baseband switcher app from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052745 and apply a Baseband for US. This should fix your problem. So, you won't have to loose your installed apps and settings.
hi there, i have a problem after i flashed custom ROM, the phone gets singal, but said emergency calls only, it's able to search network and i can choose network, but when i try to make call, it said not registered on network, i tried to flash different modem but still not working, any clues about it?? (it shows valid IMEI and serial number, and baseband ver: n7100dxdmf1 network: telkomsel(my current provider) service state: out of service))
I am with the same problem. I bought a Galaxy s4 i9505 from Amazon and the phone has full signal on GSM network, but when I try to make a call appears the same message always... Not registered on network.
I flashed another ROM but the problem can not be fixed. I have read everything about this problem on Google and in this Forum, but no one fixed this problem. I am in Brazil now. Sometimes the phone works. Sometimes not. I am afraid if this could not be a hardware problem. If someone can help some people are with the same problem.
What I already did:
- checked the sim card in other phone and it works ok;
- flashed the original ROM for a brazilian ROM.
I do not know what to do anymore.

Locked phone that your problem,you must hack rom or search code and unlock your phone.
But the phone works sometimes. I do not understand a lot about it, but I thing that if the phone is locked it should not work anytime, or not?
Today I am with full signal on GSM network (and I can register in the network. In others days it was not possible) and it is working in my home. But when I go to other place outside and walk with the phone in the car it not works properly. In this case I just have none or one point of signal and the message of emergency calls appears again. :/ On WCDMA it works SOMETIMES too, but with one or two points of SIGNAL only. Do you think that it is because the phone is locked? By the way, it's the i9505 model. It should be unlocked. I bought it as an unlocked phone to work in Brazil. It is the international version.

One more information: the phone now is working ok with GSM network, but when I change for WCDMA I only got one or none point of signal. What it can be? :/

Hey.. there may be a problem with your network provider.. happened to me too...
I was using vodafone india and i had activated 3g on my n7100.. then i couldn't change to gsm mode. Then i chose another operator (airtel india) and now i can switch to gsm/wcdma irrespective of ny current data pack (2g or 3g)

I also thought that it was a network problem .. .. I tried Vodafone sim and docomo sim(working in other phone) ... but on my phone It say either no service or emergency call on both 2g and 3g
I hope somebody can help me or can share if he / she is experiencing the same issues.
After searching the web, posting to sony forums, calling support .. w/o any result, maybe someone here has an idea what is going on.
Issue :
At home I have 2 Sonys C2005. One on Official release 4.2.2 and one currently on Cyanogenmod 11 (flashed with the latest firmware available on 7th. September) The first SIM is from Hutchinsons (3 or Drei) in Austria and the Second SIM is from O2 Slovakia. When I switch on the 3G Data trafick on Hutchinsons the phone starts restarting randomly (every 3 to 5 minutes) When I change to GPRS (Edge) , or when I deactivate the Second SIM (O2) then the Phone is working fine. I did NOT had this issues with other Providers. I was before at Vectone Mobile (the second SIM was always O2)
As I wrote before I had tried this 2 SIMs in the second phone with Android 4.2.2 and there is the same issue, the phone starts rebooting. I have called Hutchinson support, they replaced the SIM, checked the SIM profile all is OK. Sony support blames Hutchinsons.. so no FIX on this side either. I hoped custom Android distro could help, but It did not -> CM11 with 4.3 Baseband
I think it is a bug in baseband. (If I understood it correctly CM11 is build on 4.3 Base)
Thx
exact same issue
Servus,
Just bought the phone in austria have a drei and a hungarian sim, same issue with 3g. The phone just works fine when in hungary with 3g enabled on the hungarian sim. Have u maybe any followups on the issue?
I am in a fix here!!! Since long I have been facing this problem wherein, whenever I switch to 3G/4G mode, my phone looses network forever.. It seems to work perfectly fine in 2G mode.. I tried everything.. playing with radios, factory resetting and all the other help that I could get but in vain. I thought it is a hardware issue and since mine is an imported one, and I don't have warranty, I was avoiding to take it to a repair centre.. A week back, I went to Malaysia for a trip, and as I put a local SIM, my 3G starts working perfectly fine... I thought it could be a radio issue and as I came back to India, to my surprise my old local SIM was working fine in 3G mode yet again!!! I thought somehow my problem was sorted!!! It worked for 2 days and it is back to the old problem now.. no 3G whatsoever!!!! Please help me guys!!!
I was just browsing and I read an samsung user facing the same problem.. The carried switched his normal SIM to USIM.. and it started working.. could this be a valid issue?
try this.

If changing the settings in Phone Info did not help I have to agree that you need a different sim or different APN settings.
The same SIM works with the same APN in other phones... and even if it was an APN issue then the data would have been a problem.. But i don't even get network in 3G..

Post as much detail about your problem, if you want to get help.
What version M8?
Is it modded (custom ROM, root, s-off) or stock?
What region/carrier, and more importantly, what bands used for 3G and LTE?
What does it say for OS number in bootloader screen?
You've verified the SIM works for 3G and/or LTE on another device?

its modded with:

According to the following webpage, the 3G band used by Airtel is Tanzania is 2100 MHz (900 and 1800 listed are only for GSM/2G): http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html
As this webpage also lists " 4G LTE TTCL" I will have to assume you got the info from the same or similar website. And that doesn't tell us what band your carrier uses for LTE/4G.
The 3G band 2100 MHz is supported by your current firmware. Make sure you have properly input the APN info for your carrier in the phone's settings.
LTE is trickier. Even with the proper band support and APN, you might not get LTE using an M8 version not intended for your region/carrier. But 3G should be possible.
I did but the 4G symbols is showed on the network bar once in a while. And it does not last long when it shows up!
For the TTCL sim card i can not access the network at all since it does not allow 2G services!
The same here. I face the problem yesterday =)) LTE icon show for the first time and then after a reboot, 3G and LTE signal gone forever =)) Now Edge only. Trying to fix it.
Dear Fellows I'm in strange problem im using reliance network sim(doesnt matter what sim it is) in my phone and using 3G but it is working as 2G only i have checked everything in my phone and also frm service provider end everything is ok. When I'm using the same sim in the same location with the same settings in any other 3G capable phone 3G is working. Im not getting what is wrong if anybody knows how to deal with this prob kindly do the needfull!

I have the same problem! You could solve it?
1. This may be obvious but you do have the sim in sim one?
2. Go to settings / more / cellular networks ends make sure you don't have 2g only selected.

Just update to 2.19.40.22 fw update..it has 3G stability and 3G works fine after this update..if you have older version this problem will persist ..
Same problem in my ASUS ZenFone 2 laser 550kl model finally said that customer care service executors better to check in authorised asus customer service centres the problem may occured due software issue...
Still facing this issue on Airtel Network in India at many locations. The network switches between 3G, H and H+ and hardly pages open up. Also, there are call drops when network switches from 4G to 3G/2G and 3G to 2G.
