smthn went wrong with my SGW and since then when i turn my network mode into "GSM only" it doesnt connect to my service provider (instead of writing the name of my band it writes 'emergency calls only) inspite of the fact that the network icon in the status bar is showing a present network

whats meant by telco ?? (im from egypt so idk the meaning of sm words )
my provider supports GSM and i used to work on it alot since the 3G consumes more battery but my phone crashed once and since then i cant get the GSM working even after getting a whole new stock rom
You set up APN for your Service Provider??
Settings/Wireless & Networks/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names
Here you need settings from your provider, to allow you use Mobile Internet, MMS
Usually, these are there, in Stock ROM.....but, not necessarily with new Custom Roms.
Perhaps these are missing, if so, you need to contact provider, or check on-line with provider. Settings can be sent via SMS from provider.. ..otherwise need to be entered manually!!

i already did it before and its working very well on the 3G but the problem is wn i get on 2G i cant access network or even make ordinary phone calls 'only stuck with the emergency calls only'
btw the pic i sent is wn im working on GSM (2G) while wn i work on 3G it tells me me band name instead of 'emergency calls only' and on 3G i can access network and make phone calls while on 2G i cant do these stuff
ive also changed the SIM card to another provider and its still exactly the same issue

my phone can not connect to 3G networks in most of our city, while it used to work just fine in these same places. at first i thought there must be something wrong with the carrier's base stations. but today i tested my SIM card on another LU6200(Korean version of Nitro HD) and it works perfectly both on 3G and 2g networks on that phone. but when i put it back into my phone, it can only get 2G signal. if i set the Preferred Network Type to WCDMA ONLY, it got no signal with just a cross on the signal bar. i have to put it back into GSM ONLY mode to receive signal.if i go out, i can get partial 3G connectivity here and there, but not consistently. sometimes even if i have full 3G bar signals on the status bar, i can not make calls or connect to the internet.i've got this problem probably after i tried to forcibly go into the Phone Info menu.i got repetitive " the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly" promps , and i just ignored it and tried again. now ,2 options are missing from the menu, LTE/WCDMA/GSM and LTE Global.in place of them, it's UNKNOWN. i already tried flashing KDZ package of no avail. Does this mean a hardware malfucntion or software glitch?Please help!Thank you in advance

Well you do HAVE GSM only selected. THATS 2G(EDGE)
for 3G you would need to select WCDMA

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.

did u make sure your APN is set properly ?
GOTO settings(tab view) ~ Networks ~ More ~ Mobile networks ~ Sim card 1 ~ Access point names~ and make sure its there configured properly and selected as default data APN
your screenshot shows you enabled the data but doesn't show a data logo at the bar weather it was 2-3-4g or lte
i found out as well that if your provider doesn't allow 4g-LTE on certain data packages then it wont connect to it unless its 2-3g
try the APN first , if its not that then do get in touch with your provider and make sure ur phone number/data plan is eligible for 4g-lte service
my APN configured well and my sim was subscribed to 4g data, actually the 1st lg g4 i bought the 4g icon appear because i had a problem on camera on that phone i returned it and they give me this phone but the problem now is the 4g icon.

Did you already try menu options? There's some things in there where you can choose network operators, etc. You usually shouldn't have to, but if you're having trouble it might be worth a try. Only other thing I can think is sim card not sitting right or not activated properly.

Check that the sim is seated properly in the holder.
Do a factory reset on the phone.
In the set up process it will ask you to choose a provider. This puts the correct APN settings in the phone.
If you don't want to reset the phone, then google the APN settings for your provider and enter them manually.
Connect to wifi first. Then download the cell provider settings - it's under network area, called "Internet Settings" and says "Download settings for Internet and MMS."
If that doesn't help, go under Mobile Networks and tap "Service providers". It will scan for cell service in your area and let you manually register on the network. ( I have done this a few times lately, as my phone doesn't seem to want to stay connected to T-Mobile.)
I just bought mate 20x Global version EVR-L29
my problem is I am unable to connect to my 4g network
I tried to install apps like settings database editor to force 4G/LTE only for Huawei
but every time I pick LTE only or GSM/WCDMA/LTE or any type of settings my connection to my mobile network stop working
I lose mobile network connection and I am unable to do basic phone calls
The only way for me to make phone calls is when I pick up GSM ONLY
Any suggestions on what is wrong with my phone or what I should do?
I live now in Egypt using Vodafone network . The phone was bought from the USA.
thank you in advance for your help
Have you gone into your network settings and manually changed your apn settings to work with Vodafone? Google search Vodafone Egypt 4G apn settings or call Vodafone to get them. See if what you already have on your phone is the same.

I did the following so far and with no sucess
1-factory reset
2-tried 3 different sim cards with 3 different networks each one with the right APN settings sent to me from network operator.So i have no problem with sim cards for sure.
3-installed an app called settong database editor and changed hardware network preference to "11" an advice given on youtube to enable me to force phone to operate on LTE only
NONE OF THE ABOVE RESOLVED MY PROBLEM
I Still lose connection with network and unable to do phone calls once i pick any settings but "GSM only " for data connection.
I do not know what to do.
What version Android do you have? If it's 10 then you need to install the APN manually.
