Simple Mobile & Samsung Galaxy S3

Hello Guys,
Strange problem here, I am a simple mobile customer, using a Samsung Galaxy S3 ( Unlocked , rooted and have custom rom ). The phone was working perfect until 8 am yesterday! I didnt do any changes , all of a sudden the phone will not register to the Simple network.
However, the sim works fine with an S2! AT&T sim works fine with my S3 also! So i can't figure out what the problem is !!!
Thanks,
Joe.

Simple mobile user here. Works fine for me. maybe restart phone? check the network setting, maybe it routed to different carrier.

Might be blacklisted? Try to do a complete wipe and reinstall the system.

Sounds like it was blacklisted.
I was wondering if blacklists apply to MVNOs. Like the case in point, will a phone blocked on T-Mobile work on Simple Mobile even though Simple uses Tmobile network.

As of 31 October 2012, the U.S. Cellular Providers are sharing IMEI/ESN data to ensure that phones blacklisted on one carrier CANNOT be activated on another carrier. T-Mobile and AT&T are also tied into the international GSM IMEI Blacklist Database to ensure that phones blacklisted overseas cannot be activated in the U.S. and vice-versa.

Is there anyway to protect yourself while buying a used phone off of ebay/craigslist to make sure the phone is not reported stolen later?
Thanks

Meet them at a service store if using craigslist for a rep to check the status.

Sounds like the imei is blacklisted likely stolen phone. I always buy phones online and ask that they have the original box so I can avoid this.

The phone was bought new though! I have the box and everything and it did work on simple mobile for about month and a half! the phone is rooted and flashed multiple roms but no luck!

Go into settings and see if the imei still shows up? Sometimes the IMEI is lost while flashing roms. This would not allow the phone to get service. Was this after you flashed a rom?

I'm having the same problem! Except it stopped working around Friday which was December 14th. I've tried to troubleshoot this myself and the only thing I can come up with is that it's because I unlocked my phone. I got this phone brand new mid october and I've been using simple mobile with it since. Then last week I used that free unlock for Galaxy S3's and Note 2's via dialing the code in and going to the the network lock and switching it off. Last Tuesday, I tested it with an AT&T sim to confirm it was unlocked as I needed it for use in Japan and it worked fine. Then it suddenly stopped working last Friday.
Here are the things I've done:
1) Attempted to use a T-Mobile/AT&T SIM in my phone to confirm that my phone works and isn't "blacklisted" I've called and texted with those sims.
2) I put my simple mobile SIM into another T999 Galaxy S3 and it worked fine without setting up APN settings. I received my texts and voicemails as soon as the SIM was in. The only difference between my phone and that phone is that I unlocked mine and my friend left his locked It was the same model phone, the T999 T-Mobile version of the S3.
3) I've called up CS for Simple Mobile and they've went through all their "troubleshooting tools" and even called up their tech support with T-Mobile to confirm that my phone is getting coverage. The interesting thing that they kept telling me that is on their system and T-Mobile's systems, they see my phone as connected and idling which means I should be getting service.
4 and 5) I've factory reset my phone and bought a new sim card and did a sim swap and still no go.
And yes, if I type *#06#, I get my IMEI so I don't think my IMEI is "lost" unless there is another way to check. I've looked elsewhere for the solution and this is the only post where I found someone having the same exact problem as me.
The method I used for the unlock is this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34661189&postcount=1
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

i got it same problem has no one fixed this or even no WY it happened . no help on the net anywhere

Phone probably blacklisted. Go to check esn free website. On the dropdown box look for the blacklisted imei and enter yours to see if it is in their system. You can also try calling T-Mobile.

[Q] Unlocked TMobile Samsung Note II no data on ATT Wireless

Hello All,
I am having an issue where I am unable to get any data on my Unlocked TMobile Samsung Note II. I am currently using a ATT One X+ and get full bars of LTE service in my area, while I understand I will not be able to get LTE service on the device, I cannot get any data. The default APN on the phone was Cingular 410, I've also attempted to create a new APN mirroring the exact settings on my HTC One X+. I've reflashed the stock OS and bootloader and issue persists.
I've done some searching and found one similar issue, I am currently using a NANO LTE slim from my ATT iPhone 5 with a nano to micro converter. The post I found said the user had some issue doing this as well and went to ATT for a LTE Micro SIM and his issue was solved. I'm not sure how this would make a difference since the Nano to Micro works just fine in my ATT One X+.
I was under the impression from what I read online I would just need to pop in my ATT LTE sim into the Unlocked TMobile Note II and be on my way with any data lower than LTE. I have also verified I am successfully able to make calls with the ATT sim inserted into the Unlocked TMobile Note II
Any insight would be beneficial? Thanks!

Did you change the apn?

Turns out I thing I got scammed, thanks craigslist. I think the modem is blown out on this phone, My phone will not even register a SIM is inserted in it anymore, even when using a TMobile SIM.
Is there anything I can do, go to TMobile or reach out to Samsung for support?

Would you mind sharing what happened and what's wrong with the modem? When you bought the phone, didn't you put your sim in and test it?

You need to do some work, but im pretty sure everything can be back up and running, another user was able to restore the blown efs/nv/modem on a messed up GNII, once he had that working, even injected a Behold imei onto the phone and get full service...
Search the forum for the thread, ill try to find it and post it here for ya
Edit: here is what the guy did... the links he refers you to should show you all the steps you need to do... hopefully this helps....
"Here is what i had... i lost my note and got a replacement.. then i found my note in my girls car.. no service i insert my sim no service my imei was blacklisted. so i googled ways to change my imei. no dice the terminal emulator way didnt work. i said i got a paper weight and i can **** with it so i did.. got in the service mode *#197328640# and toyed with everything in there.. lost all the network setting and signal and in the
umts /debugmode /common/ rebuild nv it said it will delete my efs part. so i did haha lost my imei bootloader serial number and everything that makes my note a phone. a few days later i was at it again but this time i was going to fix it hoorah! so read and read bout efs part and googled some more and more.. and found this..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801997
what i did was backed up my new notes efs/ nv files and used them in my other note.. now i have 2 notes with same serial number and imei i gave one to my wife and both are working like new.. but having 2 phones on same family plan with same ime/sderial numberi just wont cut it. so i decided to change the imei and foud this....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804123
the old imei is bad and wont work so i need a different one.. lucky i had a old samsung behold2 laying around the house .. turned it *#06# a new imei!! yay now i dont have a clone phone but more of Frankenstein monster.. cool huh when i log in to my tmo account it says samsung behold on the other line,,

Bought T-Mo S2 today for use for my mom. Will not connect to network.

Hey all. Mom dropped her phone in the toilet and needed a replacement. Bought a used T-Mo S2 off Craigslist today. SIM card in, all contacts are found off the SIM but when I try to connect to a network or make a call it tells me "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network".
I restored to stock using ODIN and a post here , and still having the same problem. I believe my mother called and reported the phone damaged, is it possible they have deactivated the SIM? Or is it that the phone itself is somehow broken? I will try another sim that I know is working and report back shortly.
Note : carrier is T-Mobile, phone is T-Mobile.
I will be updating using Kies as soon as the battery is charged enough to allow it.
Just checked the IMEI and it was reported stolen.
****ing assholes I swear to ****, people are so ****ing horrible. ****ing ****heads.

Sounds like the sim card is defective. To be sure though go into settings under mobile networks and see if once you select carrier that is gives you the option to pick on. It should give you tmobile and at&t at least. Once it does select tmobile once it does it should then say connected to network.

Okay, well.
I tried the old SIM. Same thing. Tried a known working SIM (My sisters SIM. Also T-Mobile. In her phone it works absolutely fine.) When I put known-working SIM in the S2 it says the same. If I hit "Availible Networks" it shows T-Mobile and AT&T. If I hit T-Mobile it gives me the "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network" message. EVEN WITH KNOWN WORKING SIM.

Looks like they jipped you dude, they sold u a Black listed phone.... u cant do nothing about it they ripped u off. phones garbage. If u want to make sure just call T-mobile

I could be misreading this, but it sounds like a stolen phone. I'd contact the seller and ask for a refund, say next call is to the police... then follow through.

Metro's galaxy s4 is supposed to be their first gsm phone since T-mobile took over. The phone is supposed to be just like our version. Not sure about unlocking, why would you need to anyway?

MetroPCS's policy is that you can unlock the phone after using it with MetroPCS for three months -- they'll actually do it for you.
However, you can unlock it before that if you find the correct instructions. And, yes, it will work with any GSM network.
My question is this: Are there any differences between the M919 and M919N that would prevent the procedure for unlocking a T-Mobile M919 from working with the M919N?

I have tried the procedures and get to persosha256 area of the debugging menu and it just brings me back to the main menu so that does not work. the weird thing is is that when I put a t-mobile sim in the phone, or any SIM for that matter, it does not read that there is a SIM card at all. I think metro programs the phone with the SIM number and service mode when they activate service. It's not that it is locked, but rather that it won't even register a SIM card other than metropcs.

Unbelievable!
I've been on the phone with MetroPCS ever since I read your response. So far, I'm getting two conflicting stories. Salespeople at stores are saying that you get an unlocking code after three months of owning the S4. The official customer service line rep has said that the issue of not being able to use the phones with other carriers is pissing off customers and the issue will be resolved very soon. I have yet to speak with a few other CS people onsite and possibly a supervisor to get a less sketchy response.
At this point, it sounds as though either salespeople are lying or official customer service doesn't know what it's talking about.
I've spoken to three salespeople at different locations -- two in different stores in NYC, one in White Plains -- and all repeat the same unlocking in three months speech that got me to buy the phone in the first place.
It sounds as though the issue will likely be resolved, but what I'd like to know is why this particular phone is posing problems in the first place when no other GSM carrier has had this issue.
Thanks for making me aware of this, sgtmedeiros.
MetroPCS seems profoundly disorganized. Half the people in customer service look at the wrong (non-GSM) map when you ask about S4 coverage and deny you can get reception in places where I've already gotten it.
---------- Post added at 04:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------
Finally got through to a supervisor in corporate and she said your SIM should be recognized; that she has been getting reports the phone's tested and works with other GSM carriers. She wants me to call her back early next week and claims she'll have a definitive answer to my questions and a response to your situation.
However, you're the one who's having the issue. Have you tried contacting them as well?

I have talked to a couple of representatives here and the issue seems to be with imei pairing. when activated, the device is programmed to only pick up a certain sim card. If the sim card inserted into the device is not that card, then the phone will not even recognize that there is a sim card at all. ridiculous!

Yes the metro pcs s4 can be unlocked i have mine unlocked!!!!!!!

I read the listing of the "fastgsm" guy very carefully. He specifically says that he does not unlock the m919n for USA!.. Be careful.
...
I was able to buy a the unlock from eBay: search for "M919N Unlock"
Some really helpful guy send me 2 codes in the email - 12 hours after payment.
I initially got 2 codes from him:
1ST CODE: SERVICE PROVIDER unlock PIN: XXXXXXXX (8 numeric digits); and
2ND CODE: SIM network unlock PIN: XXXXXXXX (8 numeric digits).
He said that the phone will first prompt for the 1st code and then prompt for the 2nd code.
Here's what happened:
Inserted a non Metro PCS micro SIM.
I plugged in the 1st code... and the same screen came back. tried the 1st code again on the same screen... the same screen came back again... tried the 2nd code on the same input box ... phone read "Wrong Code Entered 3 times, you must reboot"
F***ED... I thought... The phone was still working on Metro PCS.
Wrote back to the guy and asked him what's up -- sent him my other phone number. Received a call back, almost instantly.
He said (Korean accent) that he did not realize that the phone needed 3 codes (WTF?). He gave me another code that I wrote down on a piece of paper. Asked him to hang with me while I do this....
Inserted non Metro PCS micro SIM again.. and booted.
Phone prompted for Service Provider PIN: <<entered the new 8 digit PIN>> <enter>
Phone prompted for SIM network unlock PIN: <<entered the 2nd CODE from email>>
clicked <enter>
Voila... Phone unlocked! :laugh:

my listing isnt for fast gsm its for UnlockClient.co an its only 15 bucks an its no code it unlocks the phone directly u dont need to wait for codes to be sent to u it unlocks there an then at ur computer an customer support is very fast

I was thinking...since the metropcs variant uses the tmobile network I wonder if an unlock code from an M919 will work to unlock it.
Has anyone tried this method. I have confirmed that the SIM card in the metropcs is infact a tmobile SIM.
I am just thinking out loud. I guess I could try it but I dont know of a reputable unlock site I could try it with who will refund me if it doesnt work.

Yes it works
Yes it works because my metro pcs s4 is unlocked n that's how i unlocked mine

My story is unique. For another reason I flashed my MetroPCS SGH-M919N with T-Mobile firmware as a result I got a SGH-M919 with UVUAMDL firmware, took a chance and went to fastgsm, paid unlock as T-Mobile SGH-M919, download app and unlocked my phone. A week later flash metro pcs firmware back to SGH-M919M UVUAMF2 and my phone still unlocked, I can put any SIM from anywhere on it working flawlessly

NO SIM CARD / Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network

Got a used N7.
Works fine with the AT&T SIM from my phone.
Does not work at all with any T-Mobile SIM that I tried (even went to the store to where they gave me a new SIM to try).
With T-Mobile, I always get the error message:
"Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network"
... and on the lock screen it says NO SIM CARD
Can this be fixed?
T-Mobile customer support gave me no issues activating the tablet data plan on the device (i.e. IMEI is good?)
PS: Also - when I check the IMEI on swappa it shows as activation ready/clear for Verizon. But the N7 should be unlocked? And it DOES work with AT&T ....

Got a used N7.
Works fine with the AT&T SIM from my phone.
Does not work at all with any T-Mobile SIM that I tried (even went to the store to where they gave me a new SIM to try).
With T-Mobile, I always get the error message:
"Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network"
... and on the lock screen it says NO SIM CARD

Check imei status for tmo. Here http://www.t-mobile.com/verifyIMEI.aspx
Only time I've seen that error is when device has been blocked on two's network. Even if the website shows clear go to a Tmo store and ask them to run imei and let you know.

IMEI is supposedly not blocked by T-Mobile.
Since it is a "non T-Mobile" device they blame the device and refuse any help.
The Asus Nexus 7 obviously is sold unlocked by Google, so that leaves me in a pretty ****ty situation.
