So late on the 14th my phone switched over to emergency calls only. It refused to reconnect until the next morning when I got up. I asked my dad (also on Three) if this happened to him. It did.
That night, same times, disconnected again. Didn't reconnect in the morning, asked my dad, his was fine. Called three and the lady asked me to try my sim in a different phone, I did, and it worked fine. Once I put it back in mine, it worked again, she said likely because the phone 'reset its connection'. I had restarted it many times before this to no avail, but fortunately it worked this time. She also said emergency maintenance was carried out on night of 14th, to my local mast.
Now's last night, it happened again, and will not connect at all, no matter how long I leave the sim out. I've flashed the latest CM7 nightly, didn't help. I'm even in a differant area now so its not the same mast.
What's going on??
Three dont have a 2g network.
They used to let you roam on other networks for 2g but they dont do this anymore in places where their 3g coverage is good (but not good enough).
Switch to 2g only, if it goes to emergency calls only thats your problem.
Call 3 and complain, if you cant get a signal at home anymore because of this they may let you cancel your contract or give you some money off or something.

Thank you for your reply, but that didn't seam to be the problem. Since last night I've flashed cm7 again, and wiped cache and data. Now it connects to 3, but not Google. Market wont download and Google talk won't sign in. Also wifi/3g bars don't turn green.

My gf text me this morning saying that she can't get service unless she selects 2G only. She was having issues with her phone and thought maybe the SIM was the problem since it was several years old. She went in and got a new one last night and things seemed to be OK. When she woke up this morning, she again had no service at all ('only 2G' unselected). She switched back to 2G only and is getting service. Even with "only 2G" unchecked, it should still bounce to Edge if there's no 3G signal, right?
I flashed CM7 RC1 or 2 for her back in January and I believe she has the latest radio update.
Any advice? Is this a hardware/software/SIM or network issue?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
If you can, you could try making a backup and flashing another rom?
I'm thinking the very worst problem could be a busted antenna. D;
... But we'll try everything we can before we come to that.
So my t989 is rooted but with stock rom kernel and radio. Since yesterday my phone won't connect to 4g, 3g, or edge. I tried taking the sim card and battery out to no avail. I put my sim in my nexus s and i get 3g. So its not a problem with my account or the network.
check APN settings?
remember to freeze the Tmo crapware?
thanks..for some reason, data packet was unchecked...i never tampered with it though...its working now

i ran into this incident a couple of times, first time thought it was tmo's network, but after a night of sleep it all went well again. this happened just after i rooted my phone for the first time too.
2nd time was a couple weeks back, the data just stopped completely without a warning or notice. i call in tech support and they told me to check the data packet, once checked it was all good. i know i've never touched that option before, but just didn't know why it was unchecked.
My s3 randomly loses connection to the network. Today I picked up my phone to make a call and noticed it was not connected to the network and displayed Emergency call only message.
This happened a few times before too. Initially, I thought it could be a buggy sim so I got a brand new sim from telus. But its still does it. Randomly though. Any thoughts guys?
Anyone?
I haven't really noticed any issues, but I'm on AT&T. What ROM/firmware/modem?
I had similar problems till i disabled LTE. It was trying to connect to it all the time plus it was killing battery.
me and my brother have had the issue in dowtown ottawa on rogers. seems fine in my apt in the market but on a patio and at a restaurant it just wouldnt work!! couldnt send texts, or receive, couldnt call, sometimes it showed i had full bars and lte but couldnt do anything. my brother complained about this the day before. i will try disabling lte next time
Hi I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus and today I simply stopped receiving signal on it. I don't know how or why. I didn't flash anything or even use my phone at all. At one point it was working fine, then I noticed that where my signal bars should be, I have nothing but greyed out bars and an "X" on top of that. This was hours ago. I called T-Mobile(I use T-Mobile Prepay) and they had me do several things like remove battery and sim, and nothing helped. I have a custom ROM(Black Bean). I have used this ROM for weeks with no issue. Just to make sure I did a nandroid and I restored my old Stock-Rooted ROM. Still no signal. I then did a full wipe did a full wipe and installed Black Bean 3.1.2(older version which I know for a fact works fine) on a clean install. Still there is no signal. If I try to make a call, it tells me to turn off Airplane mode before making a call. But I am 100% that Airplane mode isn't on. I can go and turn it on, then back off even. Still I have no signal. I have no way of knowing if this is my phone or T-Mobile having tower problems. I called but they don't know anything since it was the pre-pay support line call center in India.
I have been generally disappointed with T-mobiles service. I would gladly give up the rest of my current month and re-subscribe to Straight Talk with ATTs Towers right now, but I'd have to get service going with them again and that would cost 45 bucks. And it's a waste if there is something wrong with my phone. So now I don't know what to do! =/
Edit: Quick update, I put in my Straight Talk SIM thinking that even if it were out of minutes, it would at least let me connect to the towers so that I can add more. Still nothing. If I hold down power(under stock) it brings up the power screen and that tells me that Airplane Mode is on even though I have it off in settings. If i click on that message, it says "Airplane Mode is OFF" but it isn't really, because if I go out and back in again, it's back to saying that it's on. However, I do have it turned off in my settings. I will also mention that WIFI does work.
Check if you activated the 2G option under Mobile settings. I had a similar issue a few weeks back. Almost drove me mad.

Sounds like your phone is the problem if there's discrepancies about whether airplane mode is on.
This has happened twice now. I've gone into a parking garage where I actually had service, and got the error that I had no service when trying to send a text. It happened again today at work, where I lose service in the elevator, gain service when I come out AND am connected to wifi, yet still get this error when trying to send a text when I clearly have service. Only fix is to reboot.
Any thoughts?
I'm Running Wicked ROM.
This phone is weird if your downloading something and data switched to 4g it won't go back to LTE if your still downloading something ...it has to finish the download or pause the download and a minute after LTE comes backup ...this is the only problem I have with this phone
Note 3 using cm_11
I wasn't downloading anything. I'm on wifi in my office and I just received a text, but when I try to make a call or send, it says no cellular network available. WHAT THE F!?
I have been having this issue lately too. Never had it before and had the phone for about 6 months. Im stocked rooted, KNOX not tripped. Its been pissing me off lately too. Was going to wipe and start from scratch if it keeps up. But really dont want to do that.
