SM-T211 Carrier issue - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello everyone, its been long since i am facing this issues (i have a workaround to tackle this issue but cant do it everytime)
as soon as i rooted tab 3 7.0 (SM T211) it started showing that there is no sim card to turn on the mobile network but calling worked pretty fine
i thought i might try different rom but not luck and on the top of that it now shows my vodafone carrier as hutch :/
can any one help me with this..?
the workaround i found is
i have to set my mobile data connection to only gsm then restart the tab if lucky it will show the vodafone in in the carrier space and then i have to change from just gsm to auto mode (gsm and wdcma)
but the problem with this is, if i restart...i have to do everything again and while in the middle of a call or surfing net on 3g, the connection drops and goes back to hutch :/
please help

Nexus loses Vodafone UK connection...

All
I took delivery of my new SIM free Galaxy Nexus today. Everything appeared to be going well until I tried to make a couple of calls. The call would either connect for three seconds and then drop or drop immediately. After dropping the call the handset indicates that it has no connection to a network.It will also drop any incoming calls and then I lose the connection to Vodafone.
To reconnect to Vodafone I either have to turn airplane mode on then off again or reboot the phone.
When it has the VF connection in the connection status page I see this;
Network - Vodafone Uk
Signal Strength - -95 dBm 9 asu
Mobile Network Type - HSDPA:9
Mobile Network State -Connected
After attempting to make or receive a call;
Network - Unknown
Signal Strength - -113 dBM 0 asu
Mobile Network Type - Unknown:0
Mobile Network State - Disconnected
I called Vodafone and they are sending me a new SIM (I've had this one for many years now). The current old SIM works fine in my old Desire.
Anyone else have these issues or have any advice? Is this a handset issue, SIM or could it be a problem with the VF network?
Ah someone else with this issue! I thought it was just me. I find that the vodafone connection drops and won't reconnect - particularly when I'm driving along. Sometimes it's fine for hours and others it just never returns.
I'd be very be very interested to here if a new SIM fixes the issue, as I too have had this sim for a very long time.
I love the device, but if it doesn't function as a phone I'm seriously considering either changing networks or returning the phone (which I got from phones4u).
My old sim works fine in my nexus S (which my wife has taken over and probably won't give back!)
I am still waiting for the volume bug fix which appears to have a new GSM binary, that may help the issue (or not) - otherwise its a call to phones4u to get me moved networks!
I got the volume fix when I powered up the phone today but that hasn't sorted it. Im off to a mates house now to try his SIM otherwise I may have to send the phone back.
I've posted this up on the Vodafone forum too -> http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/t5/Goog...-Signal-3-seconds-into-call/m-p/943023#M12291
Just to update - tried with a mates Vodafone UK sim and it worked fine so its looking like my old school SIM needs to be updated...
Just been to a vodafone shop and got a new sim. Made three consecutive calls. A record. New sim seems to fix it!

I'm on T-Mobile in the US and seem to have this same problem. I had my G2 and G1 with this SIM and never had an issue, but brought it to the Galaxy Nexus and randomly I lose connection and it won't reconnect until I reboot.
Anyone else see this issue?
I had a similar issue with an O2 sim on an SGS2. Replacing the SIM worked for me, though it was only 2 years old. I suppose its inevitable SIMs will fail.
Unfortunately, I got a new SIM card last night and put it in. But it just happened again today. Anyone have any ideas?
Currently I'm using Android Revolution 1.3.1 and Kernel 3.0.1-ga052f63.

[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.

One more information: the phone now is working ok with GSM network, but when I change for WCDMA I only got one or none point of signal. What it can be? :/

[Q] tab 3 sm-t211 stuck on cellular roaming

Hi, my dad is having a problem with his galaxy sm-t211 that I can't seem to find a fix for, I haven't even been able to find mention of it. His tab is unlocked. He is using his fido SIM chip with it. He gets data fine, but it is constantly in roaming mode. Even when I turn roaming off, it says that he has lost network connectivity because he is out of his home cellular network. Does anyone know if this issue is fixable. Maybe by flashing a modem for this region or something? Any and all help appreciated, thanks

S4 Mini 19190 stuck on EDGE network

Hello everyone , I'm from Morocco and I need help with my device's Mobile Data.
To begin with, I've got an S4 mini 19190 3G variant, I installed a cyanogenmod ROM, it's a cm13 version, android 6.0.1. I'm using a TWRP recovery.
I've had a cm12.1 before and had the same exact problem: I'm always stuck on EDGE network .
I've gone to the settings, and made sure to choose 3G in the preffered network type.
My APN setting are correctly configured.
I've tried forcing the device to choose WCDMA by going to Phone Info. Choosing the WCDMA option disables Mobile Data and calls, with emergency calls enabled only.
Choosing the "WCDMA preffered" option doesn't change anything, it's still on EDGE.
I've looked for a solution, and noticed that some people had a problem with IMEI number, I've checked it, it's the same as the one on the back of the phone.
Anyone got any idea on how to fix this? Thank you .
Are you sure that your area has any WCDMA connection? Can you check with another phone?
Yes, I've already had H+ connection on the same phone but with a different version of the ROM, and my father has H+ working perfectly on his SGS5. I didn't try with another phone, I'll try and see if the problem comes from the SIM.
Omg Thank you! Why didn't I think of that! (How stupid of me) I tried my SIM card on a different phone (that had H+ working on it) and it went on EDGE network, and I chose WCDMA only and the connection was lost. There is a problem with my SIM card, I'm going to contact my service provider to fix this
Thanks Again!!

Problem 4G+ Galaxy note 10+ (SM-N975F)

Hello everyone, first of all I would like to apologize because I am French and I don't speak English very well, but I think you are my last hope for the trouble I am currently experiencing.
I own a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ (SM-N975F) with a Rom Surcouche Operator Bouygues Telecom :
- N975FXXU4CTE9/N975FBOG4CTE9/N975FXXU4CTE9
I wanted to remove my Bouygues Telecom Rom Operator to install a Samsung Rom Stock without any overlayer operator. The operation is well finished so I am now on the Samsung Rom Stock:
- N975FXXS6DTI5/N975FOXM6DDTH7/N975FXXS6DTI5
Except that since this change of Rom I have almost no more 4G+ where I live knowing that before I was always in 4G+ So I would like to know why just by having changed the Rom I lost my 4G+. ( Worries which lasts since September 21st, 2020 ) I wanted to go back but I passed from a bootloader 4 to a bootloader 6
Knowing that I'm with the Free operator, I tested my Free SIM card in my wife's Samsung, I'm getting 4G+ so the problem is not my SIM card, I also sent my phone to Samsung, the phone has no hardware anomaly so it's from the change of Rom, I tried to reinstall the same problem, I also made the wipe I tried everything ...
I also have at home a 4G+ router with a 4G+ plan with the operator Free and I am in 4G+ at full speed ...
I hope to get some help from you because on the French forums I don't have a single answer ... Thanks in advance for your help and sorry again for my english
Test the internet speed on both phones using your sim's data plan with speedtest. If the speed is the same in both then the problem of the 4G indicator is only aesthetic.
Hello bigcalvin, unfortunately I have tested but the speed is not the same at all in 4G+ I go up to 235Mb/s while in H+ I go up to 3Mb/s so there is no problem with the 4G indicator

Have you tried in different areas? What it seems like, is that the stock Samsung ROM is not compatible with your carrier. With system on a chip (SoC), carriers can turn off bands that they don't need, or as a means of locking you into their network.

Honestly I'm not going to lie to you I've tried everything I've tried a Bouygues télécom rom (bog) a SFR rom (sfr) a France télécom rom (ftm) and a Samsung stock France rom (xef) with my old Bouygues télécom rom (bog) bootloader 4 I always get the 4G+ since I changed my rom and I switched to bootloader 6 I never get the 4G/4G+ again and I sometimes get the 4G+ logos but there are 10 seconds left and then switch to the H+. ..
Hello, sorry for the double post but I don't know where to find help you wouldn't have a solution to my problem? Thanks in advance
I don't understand anything anymore on this phone knowing that my wife and at free and I can receive the 4g very well. I have a 4g router, I can receive the 4g free and my phone since the update doesn't receive anything anymore, I have to go out of my house and walk a good 100 meters to hope to receive the 4g whereas I didn't have this problem before I made the really strange update...
No one would have a solution to give me or manipulation to do I take all the information.
Try a "reset network settings" if you haven't already.
Clear the system cache on the boot menu; it never hurts to do so.
Hi, thank you for your answer unfortunately I have already reset the network settings I have also done the factory settings system cache also reinstallation of a new rom I had to do it about twenty times but still nothing :/

Yeah pretty basic stuff... that's all I got
Most likely a settings issue but you probably know more than myself at this point to troubleshoot this problem.
Try doing Google searches and view the results for other Samsung phone models and years.
Most times I can find a solution like this or trip over it as an indirect result while searching.
Some of the Samsung software issues have been around for years...
I've already searched everything on google I'm French I've searched on English forums and everything but I can't find anything at all.
I am in France with the mobile operator "Free" which uses the frequencies 700mhz/1800mhz/2600mhz I would like to know if there is a possibility on this phone to choose the frequency that I want one by one I have the impression that it is my 700mhz frequency that has a problem on my phone :/
By using the free App 'Shortcut Master (Lite) from Google Play, you can get access to the Network Settings. In there you can make Band Selection, allowing you to test network connections and performance per band (=frequency) or combinations of bands.
See following thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...guide-hidden-network-settings-exynos-t3995501
Hope this helps!
Hello OnnoJ, unfortunately I have already tested with this application so it doesn't work. However I compared everything with my wife's phone a Samsung so I have exactly the same settings as on her phone ...
I have to go out of my house and walk a good 200 meters to hope to get 4G, however I specify that before I made this famous update I was always in 4G at home inside and outside of the house and this is not a concern of the mobile operator because otherwise my wife would have exactly the same problem as I have now and I would also have exactly the same problem on my 4G router ...
I think I've done everything and above all I've tested everything and unfortunately I had Samsung on the phone and they put the blame on the operator whereas as explained above my 4G router and my wife's phone have exactly the same mobile operator so they would have the same problem as me ... ...
I would try to revert to the newest firmware that your carrier uses, just to see if the issue is about the bands, search for the latest firm for your carrier, provided that it is of an equal or higher bootloader version to the one you currently have installed, that is what I would do
@thominekevin76000.
Not saying it may help you, but the application works fine for me to access network settings. I use it all the time, as it helps me at home and at work to make the optimum band selection for that specific location to prevent hopping between different cell towers and to have a stable and fastest possible 4G+ connection. CellMapper app allows me to see connection possibilities with the various cell towers and their power.
Hello winol, I can't go back to my old Rom because I had a bootloader of 4 and now I switched to a bootloader of 6 so I can't go back :/)
