I have tried everything, updated prl, updated profile, restored backups. nothing. It sits there and tries to send for a good ten seconds, then says message not sent. every ten or so texts one leaks through but that is unacceptable. It is a stock rooted rom with cwm. I dont think its a network problem because my brother has a nexus s and says its working fine.
Have you contacted Sprint to have them run through hands-free activation again? Something might have gotten borked in your data nvram settings.
yes, they sent me to customer service and told me to take it into a store. I bought it used though, so i dont even know if they would replace it.

Call sprint again, have them reset ur "network profile" on they're end. After they do that, leave ur phone off for 10 minutes. Once its completely back on, do nothing for 1min 30 secs. Then send urself a text 3x

Its very very important to turn ur phone off for about 10 mins every night. It allows an automatic reset to occur in the switch systen.

Sprint did this for me once and they had me make a phone call and stay on for at least a minute to make all the network connections then it was all good. You need to call Sprint again and do exactly what Lord said. It is also possible that some data settings were messed with since it is used. It might have even been flashed to an alternate carrier. So you need Sprint to reset everything and they can do this over the phone.
Well thanks for all the help, but as soon as I left the house it slowly started sending them again. thanks again.

Do you have an Airave at the house? If so reset it.
Hey guys, this afternoon my phone turned off itself becouse of the lack of battery life and then it completely lost its capacity to connect to the network ( in order to make calls ).
Its kinda rare becouse when I press and hold the power button to get access to the power menu it says "airplane on" when its off really, even after disable it keeping saying the same.
Ive already restored it, wipe everything in the device but Ive got still the issue going on.
Any ideas? Please I really need help
Thanks

It might be a problem with your carrier. So, I suggest maybe trying to go into places where there is really strong signal and try there. Maybe reboot a couple times. If the problem still persists, then contact your carrier and ask if they have anything to do with it. Because, I almost guarantee that's the problem.

I've already tried it without success, and even called my carrier and they turned to me the network was fine.
I reckon is a problem with the fact that airplane mode is turning on and off automatically
I'm so annoyed with this don't know what to do really

can you try your sim in another phone? or another sim in your phone
I have already tried both options, neither of them worked.
So the problem is with my phone but I'm really in trouble since I haven't got the guaranty of this phone because I traded it for my old device.

Flash stock rom, delete superuser or supersu, and take it to your carrier to complain. If the problem persist on stock then it's really nothing you can fix. You should be able to get a new device.

The problem is that I havent got the guaranty since I trade this phone for another old one that I had. Hope there is way to repair it even if it cost money
Surprising this is... I just cane across this exact problem today. I just removed my SIM Card, put it back in, then rebooted. After a little while I got my signal back.

Lucky you guys I havent found the solution to my problem yet :/
okay so I just performed the OTA update for my note 2 to version 4.1.2 and now I have absolutely NO cell phone reception whatsoever and gives me a "no network" label and says emergency calls only. I have downloaded the stock rogers 4.1.1 rom as well as the stock 4.1.2 rom and reflashed my note 2 with odin multiple times to no avail. during the update to 4.1.2 via OTA was flawless, no errors or anything, but after the update, my phone became completely useless!! Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can resolve this? I am in desperate need of help as I currently do not have a phone to use

It's funny because my phone, AT&T, has recently been doing the same thing. It jumps from 4G to G then 3G then completely no signal. I'll wake my phone and there are no bars but if I keep it awake and use it for a bit then the signal comes back but very very faint.
Check your apn settings. If they're non existent then jet Google them. Should take 30 seconds to find
sent from my 1920 overclocked note 2 running jedi xp11
What is showing under settings about device? Is your baseband showing unknown or check if you still have your imei by typing *#06# try flashing Rogers modem.
same thing was happening to me (although not after the update, as I was flashing cleanROM & skynote) Keep in mind though that I was using those ROMs for quite a while before this started happening to me.
I was never able to fix it, so I flashed it back to stock,and took it to an AT&T store. The guy there switched out my sim and the signal came back immediately. However, I walked out of the store, and within 5 minutes, I was getting absolutely no service. I turned around and went back to the store, and they are doing a warranty exchange on the phone for me.
replacement phone should be here tomorrow. I also got a $100 credit on my next bill because it has been like this for a few weeks.
To the op, if your phone is stock I would take it to your carrier and get it sorted out.

sounds like a missing apn to me. You could do a simple search on google or xda to get the correct apn for your phone & carrier. Input the info in and that should do it. Otherwise, bring it to the store and have them do it for you, but make sure you didn't mod your phone.

Same exact thing happened to me. Got a nexus 4 while my note 2 was in repair. Got it back and was having the same problem. I went to the ATT store and they gave me a new sim card..worked in the store...walked out and 5 minutes later no signal. I really don't know what to do at this point. I had flashed with Cleanrom and Paranoid but when this phone came back they replaced the mainboard so everything is stock again. Really weird. I think I might say see you later to ATT.
Any other ideas please comment.
Note II randomly has emergency call only ... i have signal bars but cant use phone text data anything
- i reset to stock rom via odin (only flashed a pda) - didn't fix
-tried another sim in it - same result
- my sim works
- phone is not stolen
- factory reset
- checked APN
- Airplane mode, reboot etc. all done
anybody have any ideas how i got to this? just switched from an iphone kinda dissapointed right now .thanks for help!
What did you do prior to having this problem?? Did you flash a Rom? And it started a lil while after that? Kinda need lil more info.
Is the phone used? Could b many things.
I'll say this if you just got the phone, and it's from a retail store return it and get another one.

Did you check your modem ??
Did not see that on your list of repairs....and if it's wrong....no data.
Was your Odin rom complete with the baseband ????
I am having the exact same problem.
I literally didn't do anything for this to start happening. I use the I317 model of the Note 2 (obviously)
In the past couple of weeks, I am constantly losing reception for long periods of time and getting the same emergency calls only message.
I have bars as well, but don't see HSPA+ or LTE arrows... indicating data.... I don't receive texts / texts won't send.... etc. Can't use data reliant programs.
I'm beginning to get severely annoyed. Reception will eventually lock back on after about 2 hours.. .and I'll get all my alerts at once etc...
Very very annoying, why is this happening. I never did anything
This has happened to me twice.
The first time I had to restart the phone.
The second time I just tried again and it worked.
It was about two weeks between occurrences.
Never rooted.
Running stock UCAMA4.
No idea how to help you I just know what happened to me.
Network changes and downtime are not uncommon either as they upgrade and change often.
Not sure really, just thinking out loud. ...g

I'm having the same problem as the original user. Here's the background:
I bought an AT&T unlocked phone to use with my T-Mobile account. Worked fine.
Decided to root it & remove bloatware.
Immediately upon rooting, I noticed several problems, including no network access. Decided to restore to original condition.
Flashed the complete factory default, from SamMobile, using Odin. Upon completion did a factory reset.
Most of the bugs caused by original rooting seemed to be solved. But still cannot make calls.
Upon turning it on, I get the "no network access" symbol, then I get bars, but only a couple. Any calls yield "emergency calls only" message.
I unlocked the phone again to make sure that hadn't been undone, but no change.
If I go to settings, more settings, mobile networks, network operators, default settings, manual; then it finds AT&T and 3116600.
If I do the same to my spouse's phone (same phone, same network, just never rooted) it also finds T-Mobile.
How do I get my phone to find the T-Mobile network again?
Please keep in mind that I am very green at this. All I know is what I have learned from reading online material for the last two weeks, so please try to offer any instructions as clearly and simply as possible. Thank you very much!
If the phone says "no sim inserted", your sim tray might be defective (happened to me)
if it says no network access (emergency calls only) then theres some other problem
It doesn't say anything about the sim. And actually it doesn't say anything about the network. When I first turn it on, the "no" icon (zero slash) displays in the tray. Then it gets some bars, but if I dial a call, it displays "emergency calls only".
lol guys....

Emergency calls only
I have same situation. I downloaded firmware from switzerland, then at first it looks working,then I saw the problem which is,
phone cannot connect to operator.
instead when I search for mobile networks it can find it,but cant connect.Then I realised the firmware I used did simlock on my phone
After that I tried all firmwares which is related with my region Turkey. it did not work.
I went to phone tecnical shop to repair it. They fixed it,BUT I could not upgrade sammsung software,because its modified firmware. Even if I want to change firmware again I am having same connection problem. I asked the guy who fixed the phone,how did he repaired, he said only way that to fix it,we have to have sammsungbox, sambox,or I have to change motherboard he said.

If the phone is unlocked it should find T mobile just fine but, you will not have 3g unless you flash the aws mod to use tmobile 3g. My note is unlocked and when I put a tmobile sim in it takes a few minutes for it to connect to the tmobile network.
Once you unlock a phone rooting and flashing roms won't affect the sim unlock.

Try this...
Just a thought but you can try shutting down phone, pulling out SIM card and gently use a pencil eraser to clean the gold contacts on it. Make sure that you blow/brush off any eraser particles. Put SIM back in and make sure it is in there correctly. Power on and hope for the best. Unless your service is shut down seems most "Emergency Calls Only" errors are from SIM card issues. May have to replace the SIM. No guarantees but worth a shot

Hey guys. I noticed a lot of people, including myself, have been getting the dreaded process com.android.phone force close message upon booting up new ROMs.
This only happens when trying to connect to data. Turn it off, and the force closes stop. Well, I believe I've found a workaround using an APN file I've found floating around on the Carbon ROM thread!
Upon booting, just keep clicking the OK message to skip past the FC errors and the ROM setup process, and then disable your data as soon as you can. Connect to wifi, go to the Play store and install your favorite root browser. Download the linked APN file at the bottom of this post to your phone, and open up your root browser. Copy the APN file you downloaded, then go to system/etc, delete the stock APN file and replace it with the new one. Set permissions to rw-r-r, reboot into recovery, and do a factory data reset. Boot back into ROM and voila, you should be good!
Note that this may or may not fix your data problems, as every phone is different and some of you are on different carriers. This method has been working for me ever since I started doing it a couple of days ago, and almost every new ROM I've installed recently have given me the FC error. That is no more with this new APN, and I even get a better data connection than before. Hope this helps you all!

This method has also fixed my data problems on the new KitKat ROMs as well. Before, I wouldn't even get data on the new KK ROMs, and if I did, 3G would go away and never come back when switching between wifi and data. Replaced the APN, and my data came back stable, even when switching to wifi.

Okay, I've been seeing this complaint around the forums recently, so I'll say this.
For as long as I've ever owned a smartphone, 3G/4G ALWAYS turned off for me whenever I was in a phone call, but I could still browse the internet and stuff. Maybe now things are different with this phone/these ROMs, and data is actually blocked when in a call, I don't know. It's not an issue to me, though, because I really don't use data while in a call. So hopefully this issue can get cracked down further for you guys who do.

I can confirm that no matter what ROM I've been on, when I made or received a call, my 4G/3G symbol would disappear, but if I was on 4G I could still access the internet. Not with 3G of course. I'll need to get to a 4G area and test this.

For CM10.2 it works fine. For stock it is fine it just seems to be this KitKat that is a GSM build that is being worked over a bit for CDMA. That is where the problem lies.

I wonder if this has to do with our builds coming from the nexus 5, since it is a tri-band LTE device. It does not have the capability to be connected to LTE and CDMA at the same time. Are there any radio files we are grabbing from the nexus 5 that might be causing this behavior to occur?
Check out this article, it talks about the inability of the tri band devices to be connected to LTE while using voice/text:

This method has also fixed my data problems on the new KitKat ROMs as well. Before, I wouldn't even get data on the new KK ROMs, and if I did, 3G would go away and never come back when switching between wifi and data. Replaced the APN, and my data came back stable, even when switching to wifi.

Sorry for belated update, worked like a charm for me.!
Confirmed to work. I did NO factory data reset or even rebooting. FCs just immediately stopped after replacing file. Proof enough for me.
What's the cause of this?

This did not work for me on the AOSP 4.4 ROM either. I have tried several times and still get force closes. I am running fine on CM10.2 though.
Does this fix the issue with switching between 4G to 3G? While on the Omni rom, if I'm connected to 4G and it loses signal, it doesn't connect to 3G. Or, if I want to turn of 4G and only use 3G, it never connects.
For some reason, when I put it, the system just disregards it. It says successfully deleted and pasted too. When I delete the old one and paste the new one it says "Do you want to overwrite?" even though the old one is gone. Anybody got anything?
