I'm in Norway. When I ask my Android 4.2 mobile phone to search for mobile networks, I get a list of carriers "Network Norway," "NetCom", "N Telenor." The SIM operator is called "Tele 2 NO," and I can use the first two carriers, but not the third.
Now if I take the same SIM and place it into my Nexus 7, running Android 4.4.2, and ask it to search for networks, I get the list "Tele 2 NO," "Tele 2 NO," and "N Telenor."
It seems that the first Tele 2 NO will actually connect me to NetCom, and the other to Network Norway. But still, it's strange. Also various "Network Info" widgets will tell me that the SIM operator is "Tele 2 NO," which is correct, and the network operator also is "Tele 2 NO," which is rubbish.

Hello, I've got a brand new unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note II LTE yesterday and I have a bit of a problem. I have an Orange sim card but can't use it somehow, i have every other network selection (EE, o2, 3 etc) but no Orange selection in settings, and if I pick automatic selection and try to call or anything it says that there is no mobile connection. But on my previous android phone the orange sim card works fine. Any idea why?
Try apn settings.

nah,i mean when it's not the problem with APN, the ones which were set were on EE network (tried to change to Orange, still the same). When i try to call it says: "Mobile network not available". And when i try to search for networks it only finds 2 EE's, o2 - UK, 3 UK and vodafone UK. No orange or t-mobile or anything. And i can see my orange phone number in settings along with voicemail notification (which i can't listen to on this phone)
Didn't orange merge with t mobile to form EE anyway? Can you not use EE?
I know my mates t mobile pay as you go sim switched to EE automatically.

I don't think so, because on my other android phone i can pick orange or t-mobile network and on note II there's non of that and if i pick EE it says "Not registered on network"
Its a unlocked TMobile samsung galaxy S2 (SGH - T989) from US which I am trying to use in India. I had bought it from t-mobile as part of a 2 year contract. After completing my two years contract, I got the phone unlocked from t-mobile before coming to India. The phone worked fine for first 15 days here in India but stopped working since then. I have tried many different SIM cards from different Indian mobile service providers. These SIM cards work perfectly fine on other handsets . *#06# shows correct IMEI which matches with what is printed on the back side. Phone shows signal towers with varying signal strength. I could see the signal towers even after disabling Wifi and location services but when i try to make a call, it says "Not registered on network". Wifi, if enabled, works fine though. When I try to select a network operator from Mobile networks menu, it does say registered to network occasionally but mostly it fails to connect to any network (i have tried both manual and automatic selection) but even if it says registered to network, when i try to make call, it says not registered on network so I am not able to make any calls at all. I have tried factory reset and upgraded to JB 4.1.2 (radio: UVMC6) but problem still stays. Please help me.
Did you try entering the correct apn ? Similar thing happened to me but i took it to the sim card company and they entered the apn manually and it worked.

I did try APN but I believe that is for GPRS/EDGE and 3D and these will take effect once cell network is established.
Hi All,
I have a Canadian T989D from Koodo mobile which I unlocked using unlock code. I took it abroad to Pakistan and after using for 6 months, one day all of a sudden I got NO SERVICE.
Trying to manually select networks, I come across different networks available but clicking on any one of them results in NETWORK REGISTERED sign but still doesn't connect to any network. When I go into the APN settings, I can see different APN settings for the respective sim cards that I put in. E.g. If I put UFONE sim card in, I can see APN settings for UFONE SERVICE PROVIDER.
Here is the twist though. I came back to Canada yesterday and when I put any Canadian Sim in it (FIDO/VIRGIN), it connects to the network without any problems.
Next, I tried T-Mobile sim in the phone. At first few attempts I would receive NO SERVICE/EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY messages. However, just recently I was able to connect to the network by repeatedly changing sim cards and restarting the phone.
So the specific questions to all of you is that "Why can't I connect to ANY network in PAKISTAN when I can see the APN settings for each sim card I put in?" Is there something I can do to fix the issue? I have a running sim card from PAKISTAN with me which I had previously used to connect to the network. Please help/guide me.
Any response will be greatly appreciated.
Hello XDA-ers!
I have an old Verizon Note 4 that just got out of the contract payment, and now want to give it to a friend who is off in Canada! His current carrier is Wind Mobile (which based on frequencycheck.com and their site, uses UMTS AWS-1 (1700/2100) ).
I have unlocked my bootloader and rooted my Note 4, and even got Cyanogenmod (what I am running now) working on it. I went through the thread on the Samsung S5 XDA forum to unlock additional 3G and LTE bands, but had dubious results (the first LTE NV section didn't persist after reboot while the second one did.)
After all of that, I popped in my friend's T-Mobile SIM Card/my mother's Project Fi SIM, and LTE worked! LTE Discovery said it was on Band 4, so I thought all was well! Until I tried to make a phone call. One of two things would happen when I would make a call based on what settings I messed with (mentioned below in the *#*#4636#*#* menu): It would either say "Dialing..." forever, or start making short high-pitched beeps before hanging up while saying "Call Ended."
According to LTE Discovery, there was no GSM network it was attached to. And when I tried to change the cell network in the *#*#4636#*#* -> Phone settings -> Preferred network or the Settings -> Cellular Network -> Network Type (LTE, GSM, etc) to something relating to WCDMA/GSM, it would just go back to the previous one I had chose/a similar one that did not have either of the two (exceptions to this were some with LTE, then Global and the ones with a lot of networks).
If someone could please guide me through these last few steps, I'd be so happy!
Thanks in advance,
- Tony
I just bought mate 20x Global version EVR-L29
my problem is I am unable to connect to my 4g network
I tried to install apps like settings database editor to force 4G/LTE only for Huawei
but every time I pick LTE only or GSM/WCDMA/LTE or any type of settings my connection to my mobile network stop working
I lose mobile network connection and I am unable to do basic phone calls
The only way for me to make phone calls is when I pick up GSM ONLY
Any suggestions on what is wrong with my phone or what I should do?
I live now in Egypt using Vodafone network . The phone was bought from the USA.
thank you in advance for your help
Have you gone into your network settings and manually changed your apn settings to work with Vodafone? Google search Vodafone Egypt 4G apn settings or call Vodafone to get them. See if what you already have on your phone is the same.

I did the following so far and with no sucess
1-factory reset
2-tried 3 different sim cards with 3 different networks each one with the right APN settings sent to me from network operator.So i have no problem with sim cards for sure.
3-installed an app called settong database editor and changed hardware network preference to "11" an advice given on youtube to enable me to force phone to operate on LTE only
NONE OF THE ABOVE RESOLVED MY PROBLEM
I Still lose connection with network and unable to do phone calls once i pick any settings but "GSM only " for data connection.
I do not know what to do.
What version Android do you have? If it's 10 then you need to install the APN manually.
