Hi. ive recently unlocked my galaxy s2x (t989D) from telus so that i can switch to mobilicity and when i unlocked it i found that with my mobilicity sim in the phone it takes a while for the phone to acquire a signal from when its been restarted or turned off , opposed to the telus sim which gets a signal almost instantly. just wanna see if anyone else has the problem or if there is a resolution to the problem . thanks

It could be your ROM that your running UK know on some ROMs the data is switched off when the screen turns off

Could be on the right track but its not just the data. Its all services. For about five minutes every time i restart my phone. I also have all the APN settings set specifically for the provider . It could just be the ROM. Or that the phone is originally meant for telus

Hi there,
I have a rooted Galaxy Nexus, that for some crazy reason won't connect to Wind Mobile's network here in Canada (IIRC, Wind uses the same frequences/bands as T-Mobile). When I first got the phone it did, but now no luck. Originally the phone had Android 4.0.1 (yakju-itl41f) with the UKGL1 baseband. When I got the 4.0.4 OTA that is when things started to go wrong.
I don't think I have a bad SIM card, as when I put the SIM in my Nexus One it works just fine.
I've spoke with Wind Mobile's technical support, and they weren't to useful. The suggested I take the device to their "maintenance centre" here in Edmonton, Alberta. However, when I called this "maintenance centre" there was no answer and I could not leave voice mail. Here are somethings I've tried:
Flashed the following radios:
UGKL1
UGLA4
UGLC1
XXLA2
Other things I have tried:
Turn airplane mode off then on
A hard reset: while the phone is on, pull the battery, pull the SIM, let the phone sit for 5 minutes.
Flashed the 4.0.1 Stock Image from Google (ITL41F).
Flashed the 4.0.4 Stock Image (IMM76D and IMM76I).
Installed CyanogenMod 9 and then set the minimum clock speed to 700Mhz
Erased the cache according to this post.
Disabled the "adaptive voltage scaling" (described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24355203&postcount=28) by doing echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/smartreflex/sr_core/autocomp
Currently the device is back to 4.0.1 and UGKL1 as I think I have to return the phone. I'm starting to suspect that the radio is broken.
Any suggestions/tips/ideas a guy could otherwise try?
Thanks in Advance.
What about the apn settings?

The rep from Wind Mobile went over those with me, so the APN is okay.
The phone can see my carrier (302490), it just can't register on their network.

Call Wind and ask the to do a "resend to switch". It may work.

Well, it seems that the problem was hardware. Wind Mobile replaced the phone, now all is well.
Thanks for the suggestions all.

I just recently purchased my Galaxy Nexus from the play store and while on vacation I was trying to search for a store on Google maps and I couldn't get a lock. I've had this phone almost a month now and this was the first time I notice it so I tried Gps Status and no deal. After several reboots and resting the gps data I tried my straight talk sim and it locked within a min. I loaded Google maps and got a lock right away.
What would be causing my GPS to not lock while on a T-Mobile sim but to get a lock while on AT&T sim?
I know others have problems with GPS from the many post in this and other forums but I don't recall anyone mentioning the network as a factor.

Just tried out the GPS on my GSM Galaxy Nexus that is running a T-Mobile sim card and I got no problem at all. I got a GPS lock and signal within a few seconds. Restore? That would be my best bet.

If you're using T-Mobile's IPv6 APN - aGPS doesn't work on it.
I have a problem with my telus i747m, I have unlocked it and am trying to use it on rogers but cant. I have tried different sims.
My problem is I dont have a network connection all the time. When I do have a connection as soon as i get a text or try to make a call the phone looses the network connection, when making a call the call gets through but the phone looses connection and the call then gets cut.
no data connection at all. I have rooted the phone and tried flashing the modem posted in development section but it did not help.
do you guys think its a hardware problem, or software?
also when no network is connected and I try searching for a provider it ask me to insert a sim. I have tried different sims and both work fine in another s3 i have.
The phone has a strong signal when it connects to the network and then as soon as the 4g pops up or after a couple of seconds the signal just drops and loses the connection. Then it will keep on getting a signal and instantly drop the network connection over and over again. i have another s3 i can try swapping parts but i dont know what to swap.
hellpppp meeeee!!!
Ok i used rf nv manager andbthe imei is fine.

There is a specific Rogers modem that you can try flashing, other than that, I'm stumped.

lol yeah its a odd problem. ill try flashing that, the modem listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898 says rogers, telus, bell is this what you are talking about?
thanks
update so i was about to try flashing the modem again, i poped in the sim turned on the phone and noticed the signal wasnt dropping when wifi was connected. I then shut of wifi and as soon as the 4g symbol poped up the network connection dropped, I then shut off data and got the signal back i havnt lost it sinse and i made a 40 minute call to rogers with no issue; I have full bars.
so it seems when data is turned on the network gets disconnected. hope this helps in finding the problem.
i played with the settings a bit and this is what happen:
GSM only + data enabled = phone works fine
HSPA only + data enabled = as soon as 4g pops up network drops
GSM/HSPA (auto) + data enable = as soon as 4g pops up network drops
GSM/HSPA/LTE(auto) + data enable = as soon as 4g pops up network drops
all of the settings work if data is disabled.
I have just flashed the latest bell jelly bean leak and still the same problem with data turned on phone loses connection.
I have the same setup (Telus SGS3 with Rogers sim) as you but don't encounter that problem. You might want to try to use your warranty for the problem as it shouldn't do that on stock in the first place.

yeah i tried manually setting the apn too. didnt make a differance, also tried the rogers mvlle8 modem no differance basically the phone works with data off, or only gsm with data on.
I have another s3 i thought it could be the sim holder or something tried swapping that, it didnt change anything. do you guys think i should try swapping the antenna

its getting tricky to play with that unless you have a good knowledge about wat you doiong and that you may have no offense here
wat about the warranty ?
I bought it used and have already opened it up to try swapping parts wwith my other s3, also have flashed it with custom rom and im guessing the previous owner did aswell because the flash counter was at 5 I think ive voided the warranty. Im pretty good at taking things apart and not afraid lol. I was a mechanic so yeah.

Check your APN settings. On stock, when I switched sim cards, the secondary provider didn't have any and they needed to be added manually.

hi there, i have a problem after i flashed custom ROM, the phone gets singal, but said emergency calls only, it's able to search network and i can choose network, but when i try to make call, it said not registered on network, i tried to flash different modem but still not working, any clues about it?? (it shows valid IMEI and serial number, and baseband ver: n7100dxdmf1 network: telkomsel(my current provider) service state: out of service))
I am with the same problem. I bought a Galaxy s4 i9505 from Amazon and the phone has full signal on GSM network, but when I try to make a call appears the same message always... Not registered on network.
I flashed another ROM but the problem can not be fixed. I have read everything about this problem on Google and in this Forum, but no one fixed this problem. I am in Brazil now. Sometimes the phone works. Sometimes not. I am afraid if this could not be a hardware problem. If someone can help some people are with the same problem.
What I already did:
- checked the sim card in other phone and it works ok;
- flashed the original ROM for a brazilian ROM.
I do not know what to do anymore.

Locked phone that your problem,you must hack rom or search code and unlock your phone.
But the phone works sometimes. I do not understand a lot about it, but I thing that if the phone is locked it should not work anytime, or not?
Today I am with full signal on GSM network (and I can register in the network. In others days it was not possible) and it is working in my home. But when I go to other place outside and walk with the phone in the car it not works properly. In this case I just have none or one point of signal and the message of emergency calls appears again. :/ On WCDMA it works SOMETIMES too, but with one or two points of SIGNAL only. Do you think that it is because the phone is locked? By the way, it's the i9505 model. It should be unlocked. I bought it as an unlocked phone to work in Brazil. It is the international version.

One more information: the phone now is working ok with GSM network, but when I change for WCDMA I only got one or none point of signal. What it can be? :/

Hey.. there may be a problem with your network provider.. happened to me too...
I was using vodafone india and i had activated 3g on my n7100.. then i couldn't change to gsm mode. Then i chose another operator (airtel india) and now i can switch to gsm/wcdma irrespective of ny current data pack (2g or 3g)

I also thought that it was a network problem .. .. I tried Vodafone sim and docomo sim(working in other phone) ... but on my phone It say either no service or emergency call on both 2g and 3g
ok. i have a galaxy s2 from tmobile. i unlocked and rooted this phone.first i unlocked it with straight talk att sim. changed apn settins and data worked. bought the phone for 100$. when i tried to make calls i could not. i get a brief 1-2 second peak at signal meter then its replaced by a circle with line through it. i called tmobile and they said the imei was clean and clear. heres whats funny. the data works! i can surf and download big files yet cannot make phone calls. im rooted and no signal yet when i put sim in other phone it works flawlessly. i need this fixed quickly if possible.
Try different ROMs ( preferably stable ones ) or radios. I had working data and calls but no texts when I started using AIO after using the free unlock on the forums. Switching to AOKP milestone 2 fixed my issues. If that doesn't help, I don't know what would. :-\
