[SOLVED] Keep losing mobile service - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

I'm gonna lose my mind.
Last week I did a factory reset. Everything was great for a few days. Then as of Monday, my phone no longer connected to mobile network. (I'm on Visible, which is a Verizon MVNO.)
I tried the same SIM card in another phone, and it worked — but a different SIM card did not work in my phone. So it must be the phone, right?
I looked at About phone > SIM card status:
Network: Visible
Mobile network state: Disconnected
Service state: In service
IMS reg status: Registered
Signal strength: -113 dbm
Network Cell Info Lite app showed the nearest tower and:
SIM state: Ready
Service state: In-Service
I tried resetting network settings and restarting in safe mode, but that didn't help. Visible said to take the phone in to Samsung repair center.
So I did that. They ran a diagnostic, and said everything was fine. They said try factory reset again.
So I factory reset the phone, again, from recovery mode, wiping with cache several times.
After, service was working. Yay!
But then a few hours later, the battery died, and ipon powering back up, I AGAIN no longer have cell service!
Could it be related to adding a work profile? Enabling dev mode?
Any bloody idea what is happening??
I'm loathe to do another factory reset, as it takes me half a day to set up everything again (Work profile authentication, etc.)
Please help save my sanity.
Thanks!

Try playing about with this app, it allows you to force the phone to connect to specific network bands, possible you could force it to reconnect when it drops out
Samsung Band Selection - Apps on Google Play
This app will help you access hidden network settings for forcing band selection
play.google.com

SOLVED!
I popped in a SIM from a different carrier, causing phone to restart, then put back the Visible SIM, forcing phone to re-retrieve settings.
Whew!

Couldve been a CSC issue?

@*Detection* i have tried this app many times but didn't worked for me... maybe i have lost my IMEI & device is just showing dummy IMEI though IMEI is same after & before flashing the ROM but when i flashed the IMEI went to NULL in settings then after applying essential fix IMEI came back it also detect the sim but not picking the cellular network only showing the name of network...

My phone cannot connect to any cellular network

My phone cannot connect to any cellular network after I put it in airplane mode yesterday? Any solution. Also, the phone is rooted.
The sim card shows no service.
I can't modify cellular network settings. IMEI number is not null. Anything that can be done?

I get service for a few seconds after a reboot, but then again it goes back to no service.
Update: I had to do a recovery of theme from substratum to get it to work.
Got the same problen on a XT1710-06, I reinstalled Oreo firmware via Fastboot with no errors, but Im still with "No service" its not blacklisted.
Which rom u using ?

No signal, No network, YES Imei

Hi everyone, good morning
I pose this problem ...
I updated my GT-N7100 from the stock version 4.4.2 to 7.1 RR, which is why the phone was no longer lit. The Samsung word appeared looping at its ignition and no reset options worked.
All after the battery suddenly abandoned me!
After the upgrade, unfortunately the mobile network is no longer detected, or rather, the phone does not hook up the signal even if mobile networks are detected (select networks, Vodafone, Tim, Wind, Tre).
If I try to hook my network manually (Tim), the error is the inability to record.
I checked IMEI and is present, and, as mentioned above, networks if you look manually are seen.
I've downgraded to version 4.2.2 to figure out if the problem was about rom, but even with this version the network is not hooked up.
I also tried with other sim, but nothing in fact.
Unfortunately the backup I made did not go well and did not save the files in the EFS folder .... the badge sees us well !!!!!
Do you have any suggestions?
I also tried to reflect the rom Viper, but no change in the network ...
What other tests could I do? Thank you all!

[Solved] IMEI showing as Unknown - No service

Hi everyone.
Recently I have had some issues where sim cards are not working on my phone. At first I thought it was an issue with the sim cards but when I tried the sim in a different phone, it worked fine. I tried numerous restarts, taking the sim out and placing it back in (in case there was an issue with the contacts/sim tray) but this has not solved the issue. By chance I was looking at the phone identity menu and noticed that the IMEI and the IMEI SV fields both say unknown but the device serial number is fine.
I restarted the phone into download mode and checked the System info menu and IMEI number is displayed there but for some reason it is missing in the actual android OS hence I cant connect to the mobile network to make calls etc.
This all started recent after I had come back from abroad (had been using a foreign sim) and tried to use my UK sim. Up until that point, the phone worked fine with the UK and foreign sim. After inserting my UK sim, there was no signal. I got home and tried the sim in my other phone and it worked fine.
I have not modified the phone in anyway (other than flashing an official RUU to fix a boot loop issue - see here ) and it is boot locked and not rooted. After fixing the bootloop issue, I have applied all available OTAs that my phone detected automatically which upgraded the android version to 7.0 (OS 4.28.401.3).
I have tried factory resetting using the menu (not recovery mode) and this has not solved the issue. Any ideas as to how I can fix this IMEI issue?
Many thanks
Rob
Have you checked the apn settings are correct?. Have you checked other UK sim cards in your device that are known to be working?. Do you use a simcard adapter?.

Yep.. tried other simcards thats work in other phones but they wernt working on my phone.. most likely due to the missing IMEI. I also noticed that the colour of the icons on the pulldown tray were red instead of blue and the phone was sluggish when toggling wifi on and off or entering/leaving Airplane mode.
I managed to fix the issue in the end by downloading an RRU and flashing it from SD card. Everything works ok now.
Thanks for your contribution :good:

8.0 update made mobile data not work

I have the Honor 7x, and recently update to the 8.0 Oreo android update. Immediately after the installed the update in the morning, I noticed that my mobile data was no longer working correctly.
Wifi can connect, I can make phone calls, send text, literally everything else about the phone works perfectly.
A day later I got another update 8.0.0.332, however I am still unable to access my mobile data.
I use At t for my phone service, and do not have any damage to the phone (havent dropped the phone, water damage, etc).
My friend has the exact same phone, with the exact same phone service, and got his update the same day without having any issues.
Thing I have tried in attempt to fix the problem already based on google searches:
I have tried turning my phone into airplane mode, waiting, turning off airplane mode (also with trying a hard reset on the phone).
I have switched my simcard to slot 2.
I have put my simcard in another phone, and verified that the sim card is still working properly (the other phone was able to access data just perfectly).
I have tried turning off 4G data, and putting it back on.
I have tried resetting the APN back to default.
I have tried manually typing in my APN.
I have also tried network setting reset.
And finally, I have tried a factory data reset.
Running out of ideas of what else to try, hoping you guys have some ideas to help me out with this problem
Much thanks.
Flash a ROM and see if that does anything, if you want. Another thing to do is to do what the post below mind says, thanks.
Or join the Telegram Honor 7x group chat lol

Unlock Redmi 7 bootloader without SIM card

Hi
So before anyone tells me to just insert a SIM and be done with it, please read this first. I'm trying to unlock the bootloader so I can try flashing different ROMs and radios. I had a perfectly working global version of the Redmi 7. After a phone call, the network went off and wouldn't return.
What I've tried so far:
•Trying multiple Sims known to work
•Manual network selection (fails because it can't find any)
•Changing preferred network modes and bands with the *#*#4636#*#* menu. Nothing happens.
•Toggling airplane mode, several times.
•Factory reset, both from within the OS and from the recovery (Vol Up + Power button)
•Attempting to flash a Fastboot version of the latest global MIUI 11 ROM. This actually fails, saying that critical partitions can't be flashed or something.
•All sorts of bootloader unlock tricks, such as the older versions of MiFlash Unlock, using multiple accounts, etc.
I'm honestly stuck here. Any help in fixing my problem would be appreciated. It could be either getting the network to work, or unlocking the bootloader. I can't bind the MiAccount to the phone under developer options ->MiUnlock status or such, because it detects that there is a SIM in the phone alright, but it just can't connect to any network.
The same here %
Was the SIM card's network working before? Maybe you're just in a dead spot?

It was working fine for a few months. It just stopped being able to connect to a network all of a sudden. I swapped SIMs, moved to places with strong network connections (I verified with a different phone) and still nothing.

Then you probably should head to a service center to get it fixed.

Same, i did ask in service they said that they have to replace the whole PCB which will cost somewhere around 6k, so i just bought a new phone by replacing it on amazon for 5k
Same issue im having here but with a new POCO F2 pro. Since inception i was not able to get signal on it
I need to root my redmi 6a but bootloader makes a big trouble for me .for unlocking bootloader there must be sim in that device.but I doesn't have a sim card and even if I insert it, my sim board is damaged. So is there a way to unlock bootloader without inserting sim.
