My original thread has not been moved from the old forum, so I'm just going to link it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1757711&highlight=not+allowed+by+sim
Anyway, someone on HoFo posted that if you change your APN to non-LTE, the problem goes away. I did that yesterday and so far I haven't seen the error. However, my coworker did the same thing on his S3 and still got the error. This issue is specific to Rogers network, as other people used their unlocked Rogers S3 on other carriers and did not see the error, but once they put in Rogers SIM back in, it was back. I wish Rogers would get off their ass and fix it!
This happens also on Telus. Not sure if I've done this APN trick, but I have HSPA locked and the modem locked on 850mHz through the service menu *#2263#, and I still get this error sometimes.
a quick flight mode toggle always fixes it.

Yeah, same here. It's just annoying when you're in a hurry and need to make an urgent phone call.
Not sure if this helps but I sell cell phones and a memo was released by rogers stating its a error in the firmware and that when rogers reception drops or its out of range it will say this, instead of showing no signal. Its states rogers and samsung are working on a fix for it. Its probably more noticeable on the rogers network than others because they are currently working on expanding there network in most of Canada therefore its probably causing signal drops every now and then.

still having this issue after OTA update
TELUS
Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I purchased an unlocked S3 about 3 weeks ago and I just got this error today. I was not able to make any phone calls until I used the flight mode trick. I thought this problem had been fixed? I'm with fido so it's part of the Rogers family.
Does anyone else still experience this issue?
haven't had this error since the last time i posted which was September
although i find it more often that my phone would lose reception in places or situations where before i would have reception, but just SIM error.
so my guess is that the phone hasn't yet reconnected to the network after losing reception (from underground parking etc) and before it was "showing" reception when it had none and came back with SIM error. now it just flats out says what's going on, which is no reception.

I've been using the Galaxy Nexus for about a month or so and have recently started to notice that the 4G signal will drop whenever I turn on the screen after some time in deep sleep. The signal meter will be fine, until I actually try to use some data. It typically takes about a minute to reacquire a signal, but the phone is essentially useless during that time.
As you can see in the screenshot, there are several red spots where the signal dropped out. I am not in a poor coverage area, and others with the same device do not have these issues. I saw this with a rooted 4.0.2 OTA and am still seeing it with a rooted, deodexed 4.0.4 rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481613).
What do people think? Will exchanging the phone possible fix the issue? Is there anything Verizon can do to try and help me out? I'm basically just spitballing here, but this problem is making my phone very frustrating to use.
Are you rooted or stock? I don't have any issues with my 4G on stock or rooted with Gummy 0.7.6. I had an issue with an earlier root where my 4G would drop. I would disable / re-enable and it would start to work again. Maybe try rooting if you are not rooted????

Yes, I see this on rooted stock, as well as the ROM I referenced in the original post (supposedly deodexed 4.0.4 stock ROM)
EDIT: From several posts in the other thread, this issue is not isolated to me or my hardware so I probably won't bother exchanging the phone.

Can you please tell me where you get that HISTORY screen from. Ive checked all menus in settings and I can not find it anywhere.
EDIT... Please ignore my post... I found it...
So, I'm having the same exact problems but i did a log cat to see what might be culprit.
I have narrowed it down to this:
02-08 11:21:51.912 E/IMSFW (415): IIL: Disconnected from '7467' socket
still have no idea what can cause it yet.
also if you switch to 3g it seems it doesn't happen so maybe its a sim problem on verizons lte network end?
11:22:40.029 E/IMSFW (415): ImsSMSInterface: Registration failed, go for retrying if isim nounce present
that's what i found so if anyone can clarify and maybe see if it is really on Verizons end as this is the 4th phone that has had this problem.

Hey fellas, I'm posting in this thread because it relates to the issue I'm facing. Coming from the Thunderbolt, I had no problems holding onto a LTE signal in Atlanta, but with my GNex, the signal just drops a lot (every half hour or so maybe), at work, at the store, wherever. It shows an empty signal bar with a small x, and says 'Searching for Service'.
This seems to happen only when I have it in LTE mode. I switched to CDMA under the 'Mobile Networks' settings window, and it was able to hold on to the 3G signal all day. I am starting to think if it is a LTE sim card authentication issue.
I'm going to VZW to see what I can do (I'm still within the 14-day window).
I'm having the Same issue holding onto a 4g signal in Savannah and Atlanta, cdma only is fine. Let me know what Verizon tells u cause they basically told me to wait for an update

Just came back, basically they said they can't do anything unless they replicate the problem, which they couldn't. (it was a random problem.). They told me to call customer service when I got that issue, so I have to see that at work tomorrow.
I tried a suggestion online where I updated my prl from the 15xxx version to the 52642 version. I did this by creating a contact with the following number
*22899
and dialing that contact. It went through a 'activation' process, with some elevator music, and the signal seems to hold.

To this and post 10, I still have those data issues, but they are much less frequent on the 4.0.2 radio than the 4.0.4.
I got in touch with Verizon wireless online support, and they basically told me to wait till they release a software update. I asked for a new sim card (since I thought it might be LTE authentication issues), and they said it was a software problem, not a SIM problem.
I guess its a wait and see.
So I was enjoying a cigar with a buddy who is a field tech for a Canadian carrier (not mine rogers, but another one) when we got on the topic of a samsung tablet work issued him.
He said he uses it to troubleshoot LTE issues they've been having.
Basicly the device loses LTE and either goes into "no service" or get's stuck in HSPA+.
I freaked because i've noticed the same issue, but thought it was related to CM10 running on my phone.
Apparently they discovered it has to do with they're infrastructure. The phone loses LTE, tries to re-negotiate,gets rejected, and stops trying.
They're work around is to get firmware updates to get the devices (he didn't mention which ones) to re-negotiate a second (or third time) where it almost always goes through.
I just reboot or bounce air plane mode and it often works.
Just figured people might find that interesting.

When I bought my S3 at the Bell store here in Québec city a few weeks ago, the salesmen insisted on NOT giving me a LTE sim card.
What he told me conquers with what you are describing.
I accepted is suggestion and got a H+ micro sim.
Since then, I returned to the store to get a LTE sim card and I did encounter the issue once or twice.
I am now forcing my phone to remain on H+ at best via Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Network mode.
In the greater HRM (Halifax/Dartmouth/Bedford) we have a pretty good LTE footprint according to the Rogers website, but my S3 is constantly reconnecting. I can tell because every time it drops LTE, my visual voicemail app will notify that it has no service.
I turned LTE off because it was just hammering my battery. I could barely make it through a 10 hour work day with little to no usage if I leave LTE on, and I'm supposedly in the middle of the service area.

Off topic: CM10 has awesome battery life with LTE i find
I first read about LTE causing loss of service several months ago. I returned my first SIII because of it and the replacement phone would also loose service randomly. So now if I want to be assured that my phone is working when I really need it to, I have to disable LTE. Seems like more people need to know this since for some people it is important to know that your phone hasn't just decided to go into NO SERVICE mode without warning.
I'm told service providers were, until recently, strongly denying there is any such problem with LTE. It wasn't until the iphone5 came out with the same issue that this became a real problem for customer service.

Not sure if this is the same issue, but I sometimes receive a "not registered on network" or "sim not registered" when phone switches from LTE to 4G or comes back after being in a no service area.
A tech calls me once a week to track the issue and he told me last week they put out a fix for eastern canada and will soon do the same out west if it works. This is Telus by the way.
If you are running into what I mentioned all you have to do is switch to GSM/HSPA Auto mode under - settings/more settings/mobile network/network mode.
Of course you won't have LTE but its a reliable temp solution if you require consistent service.
MTS LTE
I've heard similar from MTS about their LTE!
My Galaxy S3 works fine on LTE, but my brother's S2 LTE never seems to display LTE on the screen, just says 4G all the time, yet speed test results indicate it really IS LTE! The first 2 weeks, his phone kept dropping to NO SERVICE randomly, but more often than not! We swapped out the LTE SIM on day 2 since the first seemed to be defective. After that, I updated the S2 to the latest release OS which seemed to have remove SOME of the issues.
From what I've heard, the LTE towers need the phone to be quiet on network activity for 20 seconds or so before it will attempt to jump back onto LTE. The S3, being much faster, doesn't seem to have issues flipping around as it needs. I'm told they are deciding which software/firmware to upgrade their towers too which will hopefully happen early 2013!
So I'm wondering if this might be the same issue with other carriers, where the problem is ACTUALLY with the towers and not devices?!

Not that stupid as I, like I said, did experience the issue since I got my LTE sim card.
But to answer your question, no I did not have to pay for the new sim card.
I've done the same. I find "4G" fast enough for the most part, so I just leave LTE off for the gain in battery life.
Also in Halifax I might add!

"You have lost data connectivity because you left your home network with data roaming turned off"
The problem:
I live in the Netherlands and im now on vacation in south Africa.
I have a kpn (telco) provider sim in my note 2 and no longer get (3g) data connection when I landed in cape town (getting the message above).
I also have a s3 with me, with a Vodafone sim and works fine.
When I swap sims both phones are ok.
No need to say roaming is switched on and so on.
I googled hours today and all I saw was silly remarks about switching on roaming and more like that.
If anybody has a clue I'd love to hear it!
btw, I'm on the latest 4.1.2 France edition xxelkc
Thanks

I've just caught the same message. Never saw it before. I'm in my home area in Florida so I really don't understand why I got this message. Have not travelled at all in December, domestically or otherwise. My SGS II Titanium was unlocked over a week ago. I also upgraded Android from Gingerbread 2.6.3 to ICS 4.0.4 in the same time frame. Have no idea if that could be in any way related, but I didn't see this message until the time of this post, and as I said, I did the upgrades over a week ago. In my Mobile Network Settings "Data roaming" in unchecked. I have never touched this setting since I owned the phone, so unless the ICS upgrade did so, the current settings should be the default. I've got an unlimited plan but I guess I should call T-Mobile and ask what's up with maybe having to tick the "Data roaming" box even though I'm at home and what that would mean? :cyclops: Would love to hear from anyone with some advice.
I'm thinking that this is related to the modern in combination with either the SIM or the provider.
Much has been said about this problem on the web but I have not come across a clear cause.
The number of replies here says enough!
Might be completely off in the wrong direction, but dont South Africa have CDMA?
That may cause an issue for you. Most of the world is on GSM.... Have a look ^__^

Nope normal GSM with 3G and also some LTE which launched in the past 2 months.
I'm however having the same issue since flashing with the same firmware. Going to try another firmware to see what happens.
luckily I have 2 phoned with me. I will flash a new Rom when I'm back home, no flashing now...
I hope that flash results are posted here!
Happy New Year!
Back with the same problem.
3 (stock) ROM's further I find myself in the UK with the exact same issue.
Is this a Note 2 problem?
Combination of ROM (4.1.2), SIM (KPN) and hardware?
Googeling again for hours got me nowhere.
Unless someone can point me in the right direction I'm seriously thinking to use a hammer to smash this crap piece of phone and get me the new HTC one!
Help!
I'm brilliant!
Just thought about creating a new APN from scratch. Bingo!
Hello, I am new to xda so please go easy on me. I have been in the wireless industry for over 10 years. I was mostly a Blackberry guy, but recently had to make the switch to Android. I would rate my knowledge of Android as just above average. Anyway, I bought a T-mobile Galaxy S3 from a guy and when we met up the phone worked just fine. When I got back to the house, the phone would not make phone calls, text, get on the internet or anything. When you try to make calls, it says "Not registered on the network". I started to do some troubleshooting and found out that the phone will work fine when on UMTS, but not when on GSM. Examining the phone, I noticed that there was a scratch on the back housing where the GSM antenna is, so I ordered a new back housing. Even after installing the new back housing, the same problem exists. I thought maybe that the phone was possibly stolen and for some reason only blocked on GSM signal. So I called T-mobile and they said that the phone is not listed as blacklisted. Not sure what else could be the problem. The person that had the phone before me unlocked it and used it on att. Of course he says there were no problems before and will not refund. Please let me know if there is anything further I can do to try to fix this phone as I do not want an expensive paperweight. Thank you in advance for your help.

Can u check and see if you have an IMEI number showing when you dial the code *#06#? You should see a 15 digit number. I had a similar problem where I could only get 2g signal. When I checked my imei it had disappeared. Luckily I had a backup available.
Sent from my SGH-T999
Might want to also check Settings>More>Mobile Networks>Network Mode and tick it to GSM/WCDMA Preferred.
And finally, since he was using it on AT&T, you might need to check the APNs and make sure they are on TMobile's and not AT&T. If not, then you can manually put them in there (don't forget to hit save when done).
The APN settings are correct, the network mode settings are set to gsm,wcdma,lte. If I go to network operators and search, ATT will be the only network that pops up when I am in GSM area. I have hard reset the phone several times. I don't know anyone with ATT or I would try their sim card in there. My sim card works in other phones. I have reset the APN settings as well. Is there a possibility that they messed something up when they unlocked the phone to be used on ATT? The IMEI does display when I do the *#06# thing. I do appreciate you guys helping me out.
Thank you,

I'm having the same issue with my tmobile phone. I bought an s3 a few weeks ago and it had been working fine up until a few days ago when the signal dropped entirely. The same error appears - "not registered on network." At first I thought it was a rom I had installd but after flashing several roms I know this isn't the problem. I've tried searching for network operators, etc but still get the same error.
Any suggestions?

I know the ZL (6506) is capable of working with T-Mobile's new LTE network, but my question concerns the IMEI number and your account with T-Mobile. On AT&T, your account has to have an IMEI number that is known and recognized by AT&T so as to enable LTE connectivity. Is this also the case with T-Mobile??

The info or where you got your info is incorrect. you DONT have to have a IMEI number that is known to AT&T to have LTE. I have changed phones prob 20 times since I got my first LTE phone and NEVER had to change it again.
You can be on the LTE data plan and everything work fine on a old dumb edge phone then put the sim card back in an LTE device and it still work fine...
LTE worked fine on a Canda Note 2 and One X
Same here. TMo does not care. I just started using my ZL teo days ago, before that was Nexus 4. Just took the SIM from the N4 and inserted in the ZL. All works!

Hey people, I'm seriously considering picking up a Sony Xperia ZL C6502 Black. I'm aware that it doesnt support LTE on either network, but the price is insanely lowwww! My question is, does anyone know what kind of speeds I can expect to see on TMO and ATT respectively? I'm currently using an ATT Gnote 2 on ST/ATT and I have a Nexus 4 as a backup which I use on the TMO $30/"unlimited" data plan. I only point this out to indicate that I don't get LTE speeds now, which sorta makes it a "You can't miss what you never had" type of deal. I roughly get about 14-17mbs down on either device. Is there any chance I'd enjoy the same with the 6502 on either of these plans??? Any help/insight or even opinions, would be greatly appreciated.
The speeds to expect will be the same as you have now.......

i just received my ZL C6502 today and noticed that the data connection does not work at all. i followed the APN settings on the t-mobile link you gave and still no dice (it does show full bars and H+ as you mentioned and when i switch the SIM to my old G2X its on full HSPA+ speed). i left the house and it was running ok suddenly and streamed netflix, etc. but when i went home it lost the connection again. I'm suspecting that this phone does not really work on t-mo's 1700 AWS even though the box says so and that i only got online outside the house because that area is on the 1900mhz refarm. is there any difference to t-mo's AWS 1700 and regular HSPA 1700mhz?! any insight or help is appreciated!!
I have a 6506 on TMo so I am limited in help. However, someone in my office has a 6502 on TMo and it is working fine. He had trouble until he manually set it. Same case as mine.
Perhaps you have a defective unit? Try removing and reinserting the SIM card. Perhaps a factory reset.
I had mine for almost a month and has been flawless in LTE when in DC and HSPA in Dallas.
Sendt fra min ZL 6506
The 6502 is the same as 6506 but without lte it should work I don't have 1900 coverage and I'm always on hspa and there's no lte were I'm at either. U need to make sure the apn is set exactly there should not be any values under proxy and port also under apn type have it blank that was the issue with mine those three things had values and was messing up internet. Also there's three different apn you have use. 1. Fast.tmobile.com (Lte), 2. Epc.tmobile.com, 3. Internet2.voicestream.com. Give it a try.

thanks for the help guys. ive gathered all that info earlier and did try the three APNs different combinations / proxy - no proxy, etc to no avail. i'm leaning on faulty hardware or messed up radio. i'll just sleep over it but so far its been disappointing :crying: great phone though...
As a quick update I did literally sleep over it and I'm happily up and running with hspa.. I literally left the phone alone overnight lol. Rooted the fone and all I need is to figure out how to get to recovery to put CWM since pressing vol up at boot is not working and flashboot isnt going either (that's for another post).

The info or where you got your info is incorrect. you DONT have to have a IMEI number that is known to AT&T to have LTE. I have changed phones prob 20 times since I got my first LTE phone and NEVER had to change it again.
You can be on the LTE data plan and everything work fine on a old dumb edge phone then put the sim card back in an LTE device and it still work fine...
LTE worked fine on a Canda Note 2 and One X

That's the thing you had an LTE phone AT&T had in their system when your account was provisioned for LTE so you never had a problem after that. For those people that have the ZL as their first LTE phone on AT&T they will have to first get the account setup for LTE using a phone AT&T recognizes on their network.
So basically put the SIM in an AT&T LTE phone, have AT&T provision it for LTE then once that's done you can put it in any other LTE phone and it will work fine
