hi guys,
i have the following problem with magicsim 28th (no cut) on my xperia arc (originally with android 2.3.3, now i have just updated the phone with the latest SE updates but on the phone info still remain the android version 2.3.3...but the software on the phone has changed!!)
I switch between the two sim card with the STK menu, but when i use the sim 2 there isn't 3G connection! i have to switch off the phone to obtain 3G connection.
I've tried a workaround with flight mode but it doesn't work.
Before the update the 3G connection works fine .
Anyone with my problem?
Thanks
Sherman

Hey guys, since vodafone UK OTA Desire HD from 2.1 to 2.2.1, users cannot switch to GSM only anymore (this option is disappeared from the network mode). I noticed that not only Desire HD, but sumsong's 2.2.1 has the same situation as well.
Voda UK says that this issue would be fixed in the next release (2.3). Its been a loooooong wait and finally we got the leak 2.3 RUU. However, after tried all the custom ROM downloaded from xda, this problem still exist. I found that sumsong fixed the issue in their 2.3 rom already (says voda UK blog).
So.... does any one know which file should I modified to fix the "missing gsm only" problem?
Thank you.

I'm not too sure if there's a fix for this problem (seems to be another case of Network operators being too restrictive over phone functions). As a temporary measure, you could always type *#*#4636#*#* into your dialer (Special Testing Menu).
From there, if you go to Phone Information and scroll down to Set preferred network type, you can change the option from there. I believe by default this is WCDMA preferred, so its just a case of changing this to GSM only
Hope this helps
Thanks Ashley.
I know I can use *#*#4636#*#* to switch the network mode but its very annoying to do so every time. The funny thing is, the gsm mode appears if I put a SIM card from other country's carrier and roam the network via voda AU.
I suppose its a bug because voda claimed that the new galaxy S 2.3.3 rom fixed the issue though

That does seem a very strange bug. Did the SIM card in question that you have problems with come with the phone?
As it seems a compatibility issue between that specific SIM and the phone and I was wondering if its being detected as a 3G SIM? Are you able to achieve 3G connections?
Also, is the Network Type option greyed out in your phone settings, or completely missing?
It's a brand new SIM card and it works fine under old ROM (2.1). When I used the RUU_WWE_1.35, I can switch between the three options and I can still make a phone call when I switched to GSM only mode. 3G network works fine to me as well if I switch my phone to WCDMA only.
After updated to 2.2.1 or 2.2.3, the GSM only option disappeared from the Network mode.Specifically, when I open the Network mode, it only shows WCDMA only and GSM/WCDMA auto. GSM only is not grayed out, its just not shown in the Network mode anymore.
I borrowed my friend's SIM card (which is Vodafone AU as well) and it shows the same problem in my DHD.
Fixed!!
Ok. I know what caused the issue here. The APN setting for Vodafone AU includes MCC:505, MNC:3, which makes my phone cannot chose GSM only mode. I decompile the Phone.apk and modified the arrays.xml file in the values-mcc505-mnc3 folder to add the GSM only mode back.
After I flash my modified Phone.apk back to DHD, I get the GSM only mode back again!!

Hey linus, I was just searching for the same thing...
I'm using Leedroid's GB ROM (2.2.3) and missing the same option. Was fine on FroYo.
Are you able to share or link your phone.apk? I'm so hanging to get this option back as it's saved me a few times when I can't get good 3G coverage. Also reduces battery consumption...
Probably silly question, but is it possible to change the APN settings or something esle to acheive this without changing the apk? I'm just thinking of future ROM releases.
Hey Linus,
As above any chance I could get a copy of the phone.apk. I'm having the same problem too and it's a bit annoying... Cheers
cannot switch to GSM only
Hi there,
Got a SGS2, that I am pretty happy about, BUT
I miss the option saying "GSM only". According to every manual I see, it should be there.
GT-I9100
4.1.2
I9100NELS1
Would your phone.apk work for me as well..?? If, please mail it to me [email protected]
Cheers
Hello everybody,
I have a carrier unlocked Xperia Arc. I had flashed .58 firmware, which I had rooted with Zegrush method (bootloader is locked). It was working fine for a few days, then suddenly the 3G stopped working. I am still getting the EDGE (2G) data transfer.
Since my SIM when inserted into my friends Samsung i9003 was giving a good 3G connection and also my friends SIM when inserted into my Xperia Arc was unable to connect through 3G, I thought that the fault was in my Xperia Arc only.
I have
1) Checked APN settings, they are fine. Downloaded and installed them again to be doubly sure.
2) Did a soft reset
3) Did a hard reset
4) Used repair through PC companion
5) flashed .62 firmware with accompanying baseband
6) flashed .42 firmware with accompanying baseband
7) checked network mode. Its WCDMA(preferred)/GSM. On switching to WCDMA, the 3G connection works for a few minutes and then the whole connection drops.
8) I read in some discussion boards that a similar problem arises if the SIM card lock is used but I am not using it.
Is it a hardware defect? Should I unlock the bootloader and flash one of the custom ROMS?
Any other suggestions?
Please help.
Thanking in advance.
call your network provider and say your problem, if they cant solve your problem or says everything is ok then contact sony ericsson repair center.

Hi everybody, I have troubles with slot 2 SIM on a brand new A2 lite.
No mater what I do (swapped SIMs, use only slot 2, with or without SD card) SIM in slot 2 doesn't register on network. Both SIMS work fine in slot 1
Under slot 2 network settings "automatically select network" in ON, turning it OFF causes "Error while searching for networks" message appear
Please help
I use automatic translator to excuse my English. I write from Italy. I have your same problem with global rom. xiaomi italia told me to be a problem of build v9.6.4.0 (check if it matches) and all that remains is a downgrade or wait for update.
SIM 2 not working after upgrade to 9.6.4.0 ?

Hi,
me too!
SIM 2 recognized (asks PIN) but not registering on networks .
I bought phone on a retail store (in Italy) a few days ago, so I was able to get it fast replaced with a new one, now working on both SIMs
Today I've discovered that this is probably due to a bug in V9.6.4.0.ODLMIFF upgrade
Former phone was upgraded to V9.6.4.0 via OTA.
The second one has yet stock retail ROM V9.6.2.0.ODLMIFF, and until this nasty bug will be fixed I beware to upgrade system, maintaining out-of-the-box version.
BTW: to date, I wasn't able to find a a 9.6.2.0 image to archive for safety , and eventually recovering.
Does anyone has a link to download it ?
Best regards
So, no way to get a V9.6.2.0 somewhere?
thanks
Still no fix?
I am in Portugal and both I've tested both slots with a sim card and both register my network (meo) in both 9.6.4.0 and now 9.6.6.0 maybe its the Italy network only?

Yes, only in Italy ...
I have the same problem.
I've made the update to 9.6.8.0 (september) without any changes, send an email at the italian support (i'm italian) and they answer me that there isn't solution, for the moment.
I'm so angry for this problem and think that xiaomi not intend to solve it.
I made some other test without the Sim on the Slot 2: the phone has problems to connect on 4G (Tim) where generally connect, if i use 3G it doesn't connect on internet and the sub menù APN desappears.
I've also another problem, I can't connect to a mac or pc with usb cable.

Hello.
To everybody suffered the SIM 2 not registered / not working (slot) on MI A2 Lite (specially in Italy) it seems that new "November 2018" system update solved it. So, please try to download/apply for update. Sometimes, after update, a "remove/re-insert SIM" is needed.
Good luck.
FINALLY !!!
Problem on sim 2 is solved with November patch !!!
You have to completely switch off the phone and then switch it on again after installing the patch.
bye
My phone miA2 Lite is unable to register sim 1 on the network. ..what could be the problem
Hey guys,
yesterday my phone got updated to the 3.23 Version. Since then my phone is getting no signal to my provider nor mobile network.
I tried WIPE USER DATA which also doesnt work. The sim works fine in my iphone xs...
I also tried to manually apply APN settings.
After i plug in the SIM card it asks for my pin. I enter the pin and it unlocks the SIM but no signal.
I only get a Question Mark at the Status Bar.
Do you guys have any similar problems?

then maybe EU problem... any EU users here?
I updated yesterday & have signal (in Poland).
I suggest that you try to manually switch the network type in settings, to 4G/3G/2G.
