Hide your imei please. You don't wanna go around exposing that unique number to strangers.. might wanna turn your phone off, take sim cards out, wait a few minutes and try putting it back. That's what Vodafone told me when I had connection issues and it worked. Otherwise, calling your network operator will be your best bet

My guess would be hardware damage. You'll have to get it replaced

I747m telus network problem

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.

Use other carrier on lost unlocked att phone

Hey,
I bought a phone which was reported lost to att. Fortunately, it was unlocked by att before it got lost. Now I am trying to use that phone with other carrier such as Tmobile. But the problem I am facing is as soon as I turn off the aeroplane mode i get att's signals even there is no sim card inserted. And this is letting att to track my device (maybe?). So how should i gey rid off those signal that works with sim card... And i also want to use some other carrier on it.
Thanks for the replies. I have currently rooted the phone and installed Ariel ROM.

Find T-Mobile's APN settings and replace any existing AT&T ones with them.

I went in to phone information and selected gsm only.. But still as soon as i turn off aeroplane mode there are sihnal bars even without any simcard... I don't need that signals.. Help guys!
For changing APN settings, i gotta turn off aeroplane mode and insert some simcard which i would get later to try..

By aeroplane mode do you mean Airplane mode? For APN you should just be able to go to Settings>More...> Mobile Network> Access Point Names, however might be a little different since I'm running stock and you're probably still on touchwiz.

Can't find network, no data, WiFi works fine though.

Got this phone with the problem already, I installed a custom ROM hoping that would fix it but still doesn't work.
Cannot find network, though it is showing 3 bars?
Can't make calls, can't use data.
WiFi works just fine.
EDIT: Should probablly give some more info:
T-Mobile model
ROM: CleanROM A.C.E.
SIM card works fine in my other phone.
EDIT2: Ok so after more fiddling I got it to pick up a signal from AT&T with the "Find Network" search. I'm thinking this has been locked to AT&T and I just need to flash back to a stock ROM and unlock it, thoughts?
I know I get T-Mobile signal at my house my other phone picks it up just fine and I'm using the same exact SIM in both.

Maybe someone has flashed a wrong modem/rom on the phone so it ruined everything..
You said it's T-Mobile phone.. I guess it's gotta be locked to t-mobile..
I would suggest to post this on T-Mobile Note 2 forum.. They would know a way to solve your problem.. This forum is for international note 2..

*#06 etc to get your imei display on the phone. Check imei matches with imei number underneath the battery. If they match and apeears to be valid you may have a locked or blacklisted phone. Blacklisted means its imei blocked nationally due to fraud such as lost stolen and insurance replacement provided etc.
Good luck

[Q] emergency calls only, not registered on network

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.

T999 to Metro

I have an S3 rooted with 4.3.
I have a Metro PCS sim which I am trying to use with this phone.
The phone seems able to read the sim OK.
Under status I can see my phone number.
Everything else is unknown. Network is unknown, Mobile network type is unknown, service state is out of service.
I get full signal too, but when I go to mobile networks, I receive a message "Insert SIM card to access network services"
So I can see my phone number, and I dont have a message telling me to insert sim when I start the phone.
I have checked with Tmobile and I know the phone is not black listed, but when I make a call I get not registered on the network.
I do see also my IMEI number and seems to be correct under about
I really dont know where else to look for answers. I would love some help with this.
Any ideas?
Anyone?
Do you have the 4.3 modem? And also did you add the device to your line? Otherwise it won't work no matter what you do

The Baseband version is T999UVUEMJC.
I tried to add this phone by contacting Metro, and they told me that they couldn't because the phone is locked. I contacted T-mobile, and the person sent a request to get it unlocked, and said that I should wait 72 hours to hear from someone. I waited more then 72 hours, and I called T-mobile again, and then I was told that I needed to have service before they could unlock the phone. I was not sure if that was the issue since the phone did not give me the invalid sim card error.
I went to Metros site to see if I can check the IMEI. Their system said the phone was lost or stolen. I called T-mobile to check on the IMEI, and they told me its fine and there are no blocks, and ready to activate.
I also confirmed the status using both Swappa, and checkesnfree. They both say the phone is ok. I would think just using the Sim should work, but I am not sure what to believe.
Ok there are 2 things you need to do.
1) update your modem to a 4.3 modem
2) add the device to your line.. Just swapping sim cards will not work. It also doesn't need to be unlocked.. Any T-Mobile phone will work with metro as long as its in a gsm market, so you might want to try doing it again.. I worked at metro so that's how I know all this
Edit: never mind you do have a 4.3 modem my mistake for reading too quickly.. But it looks like you're set to go, you just need to add the device to your line, so try adding it again
