What is a demo card?

A sim card through which prepaid refill is done in india
Sent from my ST18i using XDA App

You need to get your SIM replaced, Get a 64K Sim. There is not much difference it's just have more memory to store contacts.

it seems that airtel demo services are only offered in 128k sim
to now i dont have any option
thats why asking for help
i cant change my sim to other than 128k sim!!

I won't recommend to take your phone with sim to Airtel showroom. Because it's not just Arc, I-phone and few other HTC devices is also suffering from the same problem. And it's not software so fix it, it's some hardware related setting.

so what do i do now????
there has to be some solution!!

I think you should rather ask your service provider (airtel) about this.

they are saing contact sony and sony says contact airtel
we guys only have to find a solution!!

Someone please help!!!!

[Q] LTE SIM inserted, but "Insert SIM Card to access Data Services" message shows

[Q] LTE SIM inserted, but "Insert SIM Card to access Data Services" message shows
Hi,
I'm in the Philippines. I bought a Note N7105 last week (not from my provider) and installed 4.1.2 with baseband N7105DXDLL1. All good until a few days ago I received my LTE card from GLOBE Telcom.
Now I have a problem. I can make calls and send SMS using the card but when I try to enable data services it tells me "Insert SIM Card to access Data Services", and will not enable data or let me see anything under "Mobile Networks".
I have tried a different Globe LTE SIM card (my son's) and the same thing happens.
If I put this LTE SIM into my Galaxy S II (Baseband = I9100XXLPX), it runs fine (but 3G of course). So it's not a faulty SIM card.
I was wondering if the problem might be the modem ? Any ideas ?
Globe runs LTE Band 1800
thanks
Could it be the modem ?

Have you try changing network mode under settings - wireless (more) - mobile network - network mode
If you set it to utms/wcdma doest it works?
(Sorry I just assuming and here in India we don't have lte and never seen menu of mobile network in lte version)

When the SIM is inserted, the whole mobile settings menu becomes unavailable, because the phone thinks no SIM is inserted (even though calls and SMS works).
UtkarshGupta suggests its the APN not the modem so I'll look into that too.
For now, I have a new problem - the SIM slot is broken, due to using one of those stupid Nano adapters, because my provider does not have micro SIMs. So until I get that replaced, I can't try anything !
Re: [Q] LTE SIM inserted, but "Insert SIM Card to access Data Services" message shows

Hi
I'm from the philippines just as you. I'm also using globe's LTE and recently have bought a note 2 (N7105). My note 2 works perfectly. But a few days ago, my friend who was interested in getting the same phone that I have, decided to buy one. We went to the same store hot gadgets to buy another phone exactly like mine N7105. We encountered the same problem as you. All other simcards would work except for my Globe LTE sim. It seems like its a new batch of note 2s from their supplier abroad. What i noticed about the new batch that arrived is that it was previously locked to a foreign network and just unlocked. the box also has a "cityzi" logo which is a carrier in france. the seller claims that all their units are locked and just unlocked.
but i believe that the batch i got was factory unlocked in the first place because there is no logo on the box and no logo when starting up and turning off the phone.
I have a feeling that it may be a firmware related problem. what i would like to ask if you have tried updating the phone to the current DMC3 firmware. you can read up about it.
there is a forum on tipid cp on n7105 sadly im just a new user on xda so i cant post the link. just search for it.
if you check sammobile.com there is an n7105 firmware for the philippines. im not sure if flashing it with this new firm ware would fix the problem. i flashed my phone with it and it worked fine but im not sure if a previously locked phone would create problems when updating firmware. maybe some people in the forum could help. thanks.

Hi, Yes I flashed the firmware N7105XXDMC3_N7105OLBDMD1_GLB and now my note 2 works fine with Globe LTE. I found details on this site http://wccftech.com/update-galaxy-note-2-lte-n7105-xxdmc3-android-412-jelly-bean-official-firmware/

This is an English only forum. Ask in English if you want an answer. Also, this section is for the Note 2. Ask again in the S3 section, in English.
Worked like a charm. Thanks!
big thanks to this thread! i had problems with my N7105 from HK as well but now it works fine on Globe LTE!
only problem i encountered was downloading the file which was 1GB, kept failing to download until this morning hehehe. :highfive:
Hi everyone. Might there be a torrent for the firmware file? Download keep terminating on my side. Thanks guys
Hi!
First I want to thank you for pointing out that only XXDMC3 will work with GLOBE LTE.
I think it is the SIM card itself because I have an AT&T i317 Galaxy note 2. First I wasn't able to get it to work. Same issues with you. Can call, text, but will not allow me to access mobile services.
I also tried flashing it with the modem from here (XXDMC3 (Philippines / Globe) N7105DXDMC1_modem_GLB) you can use this modem if you have the N7105
I misread the instructions and had a bootloop. But was able to reflash the stock AT&t firmware.
So instead of going that route, I downloaded this International ROM for ATT Galaxy note 2 As it is already XXDMC3 baseband.
It works very well. But I still have to wait for the activation of my LTE to see if that really works. But now I can access the menu's and H+ works on my phone.
This is using the Stock AT&T Modem.
I hope this helps folks with international phones and want it to work with GLOBE LTE.. =)
This firmware works fine with globe, but not so sure about Smart. A Smart prepaid SIM works fine, but a postpaid SIM does not work at all, not even for calling / texting. Smart are unable to explain why this would be the case. They made up some BS story about the phone being locked to Globe (a 7105 International edition !!) I was not able to test it fully because I sold the phone, so I can't say for sure it was a firmware issue. But we tried several Smart postpaid SIMS and all did not work. Just throwing it out there.

Indian firmware supports dual standby to some extent.
Cuz when I use data or when I do sms the other sim is active.
This was not so in E Dual and Tipo Dual.
That Y I recommended to flash Imdian firmware.

[Q] can anyone still receive calls if they disable the sim slot, using i9192

can anyone still receive calls if they disable the sim slot, using i9192.
The problem.
I have 2 sim card
A = NWmobile
B = China Unicom
whether i put sim A in slot 1 or 2, and having sim B in the other slot, if I disable sim A, somehow calls just comes through, if I do the same with sim B and disable it, the calls does not come through, is it possible this is related to the network, since this only happens with sim A, it does not seem to be the problem with the phone but the sim A.
Has anyone tried this and have the same problem.

Are you also from HK? I got similar SIM cards as yours: NWmobile and China Mobile. If I disable the SIM card, the call cannot go through and it is forwarded to the voicemail.

Ooops my China Mobile card has only 1 number and enabling SIM ALWAYS ON is meaningless since there is no service.
Perhaps you can call forward your NWM to CHU and vice versa when you cross the border as a quick fix. Just add the **21* and ##21# in the phonebook. Not nice but a temporary solution.

I have no idea. To test the NWM card you can put it onto another brand of DUAL SIM phone.
You can also replace the CHU card by another local calling card and see if the same behaviour persists.

I think i've sorted it out, it turns out that the "dual sim always on" function had a affect on my china unicom card, and keeps getting a read out fail if i tried to enable it, probably because it does not have a call forwarding function.
I put two different cards in the phone and cleared both cards of all call forwarding, then turn on the "dual sim always on", and it comes out normal, previous I always get fail, now I then turn the "dual sim always on" off, then use both nwmobile and china unicom, now it works normal, as long as I dont touch the always on function on with the china unicom.
thanks for all the help

[Q] "Emergency calls only"

My Zenfone 2 always shows "emergency calls only" on the lockscreen and in the notification pulldown even when there's a working SIM in.
I'm on Vodafone UK.
Is this the same for everyone?

Rowbaggie is correct, when you put a sim card into a phone, there are 2 processes during this time
1) handset check the network and perform LU ( location update)
2) if it succeed, then it will pull out all profile details. the SIM card by default would have the postpaid, prepaid 3G, 4G APN in it.
by default network will automate append this APN so user does not have to set it ( unlike wap services)
my guess is that your APN got screwed up, you can go to your service provider website and check for the correct APN to use.
Or call them up.
By the way, APN is also known as Access point in 802.xx. in 3GPP standard it is call APN.
Thanks guys...but my api settings are correct. 3G and 4G works fine.

are you able to try this sim on the 3G/4G slot?
lets test it out to eliminate sim slot failing.
perform single sim one 2G first
then perform single sim on 3G/4G
post the result,
next try to put Sim A to 3G/4G and sim B to 2G slot
flip the case and post result.
sound like sim card is not attached to network properly. could be sim loose from slot. i can be wrong.
Ok last night I took sim card out of my phone,its Asus zenfone. Now today the phone won't even read the card ,what do I do?
