Hi everyone,
I'm running into what seems to be a common issue with this phone - getting a no service error. This started happening after I turned my phone on this morning, and I don't recall changing anything that could have caused this.
When I look at the testing menu, the network status flickers between no service and emergency calls only. The network mode defaults to "Unknown", and when I try to change it to anything else it will return back after a second. The radio status is set to off, and if I click the button to turn it on, it does not appear to do anything. I've tried rebooting my phone several times, pulling the battery, reseating the SIM card, clearing the cache, but nothing I've tried so far seems to work.
Is there anything I can do that minimizes destruction (clearing all data or doing a reflash) to get this working?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I'm not sure what I just changed, although my phone decided to connect to the network... Huh!

I'm really hoping this isn't a hardware issue as I would dread having to go get my EVO replaced and restore everything to how i have it, but I'm having an odd problem.
WiFi randomly stops working after a reboot sometimes. I turn it on, it scans for about 4-5 seconds, says "Unable to scan for networks" and then WiFi turns off. The only way I can solve it is by flashing back to flipz' stock rooted ROM. Reboots won't solve it, battery pulls won't solve it, turning on and off different networks won't solve it, nothing. Has anybody else had this issue or know how to fix it? Thanks guys.
did you update your firmware/software? the sprint rep had be update EVERYTHING before activating my phone.
yep. problem still occurs
After 2 days of testing I've narrowed it down to being either a setting or a corrupted system file from a backup. Hopefully it won't show up anymore.
Hey guys, its been like 3 days since I lost completely the signal on my nexus device, the airplane mode keeps turning on and off on its own, looking at my status everything is "unkonwn" I mean, the baseband, IMEI, radio its off etc..
Ive tried rebooting the phone, pulling out the battery and sim card, doing factory reset, flashing new rom/kernel/radio, and nothing has worked.
Ive almost accepted that is hardware related and that I have to send it to the carrier service to get repaired.
I was just wondering if luckily someone out there had the same problem and figured out how to solve it
Cheers
i have a samsung galaxy note 2. i got a popup msg from att alerting me that i was exceeding my plans data limit. shortly thereafter, i noticed wifi wasnt on. i tried to toggle it on, but the button was greyed out and would not allow me to slide it to the on position. it seems to be permanently off. i have powered off the phone, taken out the battery and sim and sd card, powered it back on, still not able to select the on switch on wifi. i reset my router, still nothing. i downloaded wifi fixer, still nothing. i have been reading up on this and it seems no one knows what gives. my phone is not rooted. i have turned off wifi power saver. i have not performed a hard reset as most posts i have read said that didnt work. i'm at a loss.
bluetooth is working

I had something similar in that I would turn on wifi and it would not turn on. Tried everything you did, even the hard reset w/ no love.In my case once I turned off Bluetooth and tried to turn it back on it began exhibiting the same behavior. I was able to "fix it" by booting up in safe mode, turning on the wifi (and BT in my case), and then rebooting. It has been working since then without issues.
Hello! So this issue started about 2 weeks ago for me. Whenever I turn my wifi off, the phone will turn the wifi back on for 0.5-1.0 seconds then it will turn it back off. This happens nonstop. The issue persisted even when the phone was in safe mode and still continues even after 3 full factory data resets and wiping the cache partition 3 times as well. I did this through recovery mode. Nothing changed. When this is happening, it seems to drain my battery significantly. The only fix I have found for it has been to leave my wifi on all the time, even when I am not connected to or near a wifi hotspot. The issue also does not happen when the phone is in airplane mode. Also, I did not receive any software updates around the time this issue started happening. I have tried Googling and contacting Samsung and could not come up with a fix.
Is anyone else having or had this issue? If so, did you find any fix? Thanks!
If this thread needs to be moved to the help/troubleshooting section, please tell me how to do that, or do that yourself if you would like mods. This is my first time starting a thread so I am sorry if I put it in the wrong place.
Possible Fix
My Note 7 and S7 Edge were doing the same. I fixed it by disabling "Wifi scanning even while Wifi is turned off" in location settings.
I have an XZ2 Compact, running latest build available from Sony (Android 10).
My symptoms are pretty much same as [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comments/a1tym6/cellular_radio_power_will_not_turn_on_x_compact/).
Background
I am changing my phone carrier. In the morning I wake up and noticed that a notification that says, "SIM card not provisioned". So I put in my new SIM card, and then the problem appeared.
The problem
On the phone it says "No Service".
If I try to trigger manual carrier selection, it will return an empty list with error immediately, saying that no carrier is available.
If I try to open testing mode (*#*#4636#*#*) it will report that cellular radio power is off. I can click the button to turn it on but it wouldn't actually do anything. Same with the network selection -- it says "Unknown", I tried to force it to "WCDMA Only", but it wouldn't stick -- it would just revert back to "Unknown" if I open testing mode again.
Hi,
did you manage to fix the problem? I'm facing similar issue (radio mobile power turns off and on, sometimes it stays on but not very often). The problem appeared suddenly about two weeks ago (no prior software update, I'm running Android 10).
It seemed to work momentarily if I drain off the battery completely (remember, there probably are still some residual juice even when power drops to 0%). I just let it sit for weeks before trying to turn it on again. And then it would work. At least for a short while. But as long as I reboot it again, it will have the same problem -- i.e. shows no service, but not prompting that e.g. a SIM card is missing.

Hello, im facing the same issue. I just got xz2 (single-sim model) phone for a few days, working without any issue. But after some time, my phone show ‘no service’ even though i have inserted my simcard in it. I even tried flashing many different firmware but cant find a solution. Anyone got the same problem?
