Hi there,
I'm on vaca for one month in Africa and I am trying to use my sim card but I have this message :" Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network "
I tried two different sim cards but I still have the same issue.
Note that the phone was working perfectly yesterday with my Tmobile Sim Card.
It's an international One X so I don't think that I need to unlock it.
Do you guys have any solutions?
Thank you
it sounds like something tmobile end has changed on your account, if possible i'd call them to see if they can help get it working again
other thing to check is the roaming settings, check its enabled etc
Thanks for the reply.
I'm not using that Tmobile sim card anymore. But an Orange one.
Should I factory reset it and see if it'll work?
Thanks
i had this happen on mine, ive got tmobile sim, it went to tmobile orange signal, i tried to manually switch it back to tmobile (better signal coverage) and it said the same thing.
A reboot didnt fix it so i went into settings, storage, make more storage and then cleared all temporary data for all apps.
this seems to temp fix the issue and allows me to reconnect to my peferred network it still happens every now and then so it could be a software gitch with the hox
Just tried it. Didn't work
I will restore it and see how it goes
Even with the New Rom, Superwipe I still have the same issue ?
I bought my n7100 on taobao here in China, and it's a Korean version. I put my China Mobile sim card in, and it makes and receives calls, and text messages and can use wifi with no problem.
The only thing is the mobile data doesn't work. I rooted and tried tweakker, and HiNet, to reset my APN and MMS settings, but that didn't work. My phone still thinks I'm roaming.. it displays
this message "Data Roaming, You have lost data connectivity because you let your home network with data roaming turned off".
I've also tried updating the APN and MMS settings manualy with information i've found on the web.
I've googled and searched this forum and I can't find much. I thought it would be an easy APN settings fix but it seems not to be...
I took my phone in to the local China Mobile store they couldn't fix it. I took it to a local android expert here and they didn't know what to do.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
If you bought a Korean Note 2, you don't (shouldn't) have an N7100. I also purchased one through Taobao.
You should have an SHV-E250S, E250L, or E250K. Which one do you have? Check the baseband version under Settings > About device page.
No matter what, you're going to be limited to 2G only with China Mobile.
You're right, It's SHV-E250S, and I'm fine using the 2g in China on China mobile, but I'd just like to know how..any help?
Baseband Version is E-250SKSVLJK
Try removing all modifications to your APN settings.
Next, go into Settings > More settings > Mobile networks > Network mode and change it to GSM only. Also make sure that Data roaming is not selected. Run a new scan for network operators while you're in there to refresh your APN settings to the right ones.
In data network mode I only have 2 options "3g only" or "LTE Preferred" I have it on 3g only. I have now unchecked data roaming, but I don't see any place to scan for network operators. I have included a few screenshots here, sorry i don't know how to insert them.. http://tinypic.com/r/2198djn/6 http://tinypic.com/r/24dhfmx/6 http://tinypic.com/r/2zof98w/6
Now it's obvious why you don't have data. Is this the stock Korean ROM? Are you rooted?
I can point you to a decent ROM that will fix all of this, provided you have the patience to fix it. It's relatively easy.
Yes it seems to be the stock Korean ROM. I am rooted using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31801060&postcount=2 I'm more than willing to flash another rom. I've put about 20 hours into this so far, I imagine I can muster enough patience to finish it
Once they give us a damn Korean Note II section, this kind of information will be a lot easier to find.
Try this ROM for now, it's the one I've been using for a few weeks and I love it.

Thanks a lot the rom (715mb) is downloading now, I have tried to flash ROM's on my old galaxy nexus, and on this note II, but I never succeeded, can you please link me to a good guide, on how to flash this rom? thanks.
Odin is included in the download. If you're using Windows 7 you may or may not have the drivers for the phone, and can grab them out of the All-in-one Toolkit. Just installing the toolkit should install the drivers necessary.

The ROM you're downloading has two files and two pictures, as well. Open the pictures and follow along. All you have to do is click two buttons, select two files, then hit start. It WILL wipe your phone.
I installed that rom you suggested, I went into settings and did GSM only, and had it automatically find my network (china mobile) selected it, rebooted, and still it says i'm roaming so there is no connectivity... any more ideas?
Can you try somebody else's SIM?
There's no reason you should not be getting service unless something is not right with your SIM or phone.
I installed the rom you suggested, i went into settings and made it GSM only, also had it automatically correctly locate my network (china mobile) and it said "registered on network".. but it still isn't working, same problem, it says no connectivity cus i'm roaming.. any ideas now?
my gf will be home from work in a couple hours, I can try her sim card then.. my sim card was cut by me for my old iPhone.. is it possible or likely that the phone can still make and receive calls, but that somehow data connectivity was affected by me cutting the card? also one guy at the phone fixing store tried his sim card (from another company) and internet worked fine he said..

China mobile have various sim plans, from local to province to national. Are you using the sim in the same city in which you bought it? If not and you don't have a national plan, it could be why the phone is showing roaming. In China going from one province to another is already considered roaming unless you have a national plan. This is from my experience back 2 years ago. Also, you best check at a China mobile shop if you have data activated, gprs/edge is not activated by default, you need to ask them to do it.
I would advise you to switch to China unicom as they have 3g/hspa which is much faster than china mobile.

For clarfication, I am in Hainan, and the card is from hainan. I use the same sim card in my galaxy nexus without any problem. I tried my gf's card just now, it didn't say any problem with connectivity, and did not display roaming.. And it shows the G symbol (for 2 or 3 G I assume), and has up and down arrows next to it.. but it doesn't actually work for browsing the web or using apps over the data network.. I even reset all the APN settings and let it automatically find the China Mobile network, but it didn't help.. what if I try to set the APN settings manualy? and any other ideas??
Showing the G symbol is GPRS, which is 2G. You will not get 3G on the N7100, N7105, or Korean model Note 2 on China Mobile.
Sounds like you need a new SIM card. You can try to set the APN manually to make the data work with hers. I've never had to set an APN manually and I've used many phones here with all 3 carriers, so it's a bit odd to me. No clue why your card doesn't work, but since hers is working fine, it's definitely not your phone.
For the record, her card displayed G, but even after messing with settings, I couldn't get it to have working data network..
Today I bought a new card, and had it officially cut to size, put it in the note II and it's still telling me no data connectivity due to i'm roaming.. i'm so frustrated
edit: after restarting a few times and trying to automatically make it register on china mobile .. it worked on the 4th attempt.. it still displays data roaming, and I had to enable data roaming... but now it works, even though it says i'm roaming?? wtf
Ive the same problem with my Korean galaxy note 2 all voice service work perfect but when I tried to turn on data it says insert Usim Card to access network please help
hi. i just got this phone in the states before coming down to panama. it is verizon, but i called them and they gave me the code and now the phone is unlocked....but i can't get coverage here in panama. i've tried sim cards from a few of the local operators and none of them seem to work. i sure hope someone can help....here's what i've done so far: (oh, pls b patient, i'm a bit of a technophobe)
-unlocked sim. phone gives me sim lock is disabled message....that means i'm good to go, right/
-set phone to gsm only mode.
-software is androaid version 2.3.4
verizon global services told me that everything was as it should be and that the phone should work w/ a local sim card so i'm not really sure where to turn to......hopefully someone here can help. verizon also told me that the phone should work on the frequencies here. i have a claro sim card, but have also tried movistar, digicel, and masmovil. i was told that they use either 850 or 1900.
so, i'm totally stumped. hopefully i'm missing something stupid....btw, tried the sim in other phones (from europe and panama) and it worked w/ them. don't think it's a hadrware problem, but am i missing something? is there a setting change? do i need some kind of software update?
thanks!
update- get cell phone reception w/ gps on
don't know if this will help anyone get to the bottom of this issue, but i realized that when i have the gps on, i get full bar coverage. unfortunately, i can't leave the app on in the background. this makes me think it could be a hardware issue....bad antenna? anyone have any ideas
Same problem
I have the same issue as OP. Got my phone sim unlocked, and it runs on SenseMOD-2012-05-18-225643 Android 4.0.4.
For once I did a factory reset, skipped verizon activation (can´t do and won´t work because I´m not in the USA and do not have a verizon SIM or service), set my network preference to GSM/WCDMA, and the network wasn´t working.
Rebooted, my network is identified as soon as it starts, but then it goes to "No Service". Try to search for network but my carrier does not appear.
Any help?
EDIT:
Playing around with the phone, setting GSM as your network and restarting the phone let me make phone calls. No internet though and the APN was configured correctly. The "E" symbol for the internet blinked once in a while, but never got service.
Also, playing around some more, got my phone to not recognize the network again by removing the SIM another time. This sucks.
IPosting this more as a FYI from my recent experience with my Verizon LG G4 phone using over seas (Vietnam vs. originally in the U.S.). The phone is currently rooted with firmware VS98610BB (10B) with Android 5.1. The phone is no longer on Verizon Wireless (paid off device and service cancelled). Earlier in the day, my LG G4 experienced an abrupt "SIM Disabled" followed by "No SIM - No Service". I was in the middle of surfing the internet via Viettel's 3G (Vietnam cell phone carrier) when I lost the ability to use the cell phone service. At first, I thought my phone was suffering stability from the drops and banging that happened to the phone recently, however I believe the accidents were negligible due to a soft transparent TPU cover I have on the phone. I then thought that my SIM was probably banned, blacklisted, or blocked from the carrier. I tried restarting the phone. Doesn't work. I removed the battery and reinserted the battery and powered on the phone. Still doesn't work. Finally went to a local Viettel retail store and the representative checked the SIM. It was working in her phone (phone call made to the retail store and phone call made to the phone having my SIM).
I made further searches online to see what other things to try or the possible issues. Saw some may have hardware defects, but in order to eliminate the SIM reader was broken, I decided to whip out the Verizon's SIM to try. The Verizon SIM verified that my phone didn't malfunction. So I was going to try the next solution is to mask the IMEI to verify my SIM was blocked on Viettel's network. I took out the Verizon SIM and stuck in Viettel SIM. To my amazement, Viettel network was picked up again.
I did notice that while I was at the Viettel store, my APN entries were wiped out or erased somehow. I reentered all the APN information but it didn't help while at the the retail store.
Well, the conclusion is: swap SIM into the G4 to see if it resets the network and SIM information, then stick in the SIM you're using.
I hope this is helpful to those who experienced the same issue.
Ran into a similar problem as indicated in the above post (no carrier signal found) with another LG G4 under my care and this time, trying the above workaround did not work for the second LG G4 phone. It appears that something must have corrupted the system files or other files. What I additionally did was cleared out all of the credentials (Settings/Security/Certificate management/Clear credentials). Also, I wiped out the cache by performing Power+Volume down keys on boot up to access boot options of wiping cache (rooted phone). After rebooting the phone one more time, everything went back to normal. What bugged me was that the phone was charged up to 80%. After another reboot, it is now at 100%. Strange. Another thing that was strange was when enabling airplane mode, to disable it from the settings menu was grayed out, i.e., cannot switch off and on. However, the quick settings still worked. But everything is in working order now. This leads me to believe file corruption has happened to both LG G4 phones. Even the APN list was wiped out.

what rom are you using? stock or custom?
Hi so after I fixed a customer's note 10 plus that had a completely borked and shattered display I decide to put my SIM card in it and restart the device to make a test phone call to make sure everything works before calling the customer telling him his phone is ready. Everything checks out however after I started to notice that the T-Mobile boot screen gets replaced with the Verizon boot screen some junk apps download automatically. Also an error message pops up saying "This is not a Verizon SIM card in this device" whenever a non Verizon sim card is in the note 10 plus which I couldn't get rid of doing everything in the software troubleshooting book (reset network settings, change some cellular settings, factory reset, called cricket and Verizon, etc.) and nothing worked. Didn't really bother the customer but after a week the customer's phone loses all ability to make and receive phone calls/texts, every time you try it just says "this phone is not registered with this network." I tried factory resetting the device and even flashing T-Mobile firmware into it using Odin and still, same bull**** results as before. My question is, has this happened to anyone else here and if so has anyone ever fixed this problem? Uuugghhh.
