I wonder if anyone can help with a fault on my M3100. So far I've searched this website for answers with no luck. I have Hard Reset the phone, upgraded the Radio, all without any luck.
About 6 days ago my M3100 suddenly stopped being able to make or receive calls. Whenever I try to dial out the call drops out before being established, and if I try to call in to the phone the caller receives a series of beeps.
At first it seems to be a SIM problem, but the Vodaphone SIM is fine in any other phone. If I put my Orange SIM in the phone it just comes up as "No Service".
I'm at the end of the line in what to do and it doesn't seems to make any sense.
Any comments, suggestions, advice or help very much appreciated.
..... Further symptom details:
I can send and receive text message with my Vodaphone SIM installed and access WiFi and GPRS networks. Orange SIM won't connect at all! Both SIMS work fine in a standard phone ! Only clue I can think of here is that the Vodaphone SIM is UMPTS and GSM where the Orange is GSM only. The spare phone I tested them in was GSM only.
Could the GSM part of the M3100 be stuffed ?
I'm stumped for the time being!! It doesn't seem to make any logical sense. Maybe any of you who know the in's and out's of how the device communicates might find some clues in that...
Heeeeelp !
More details..
I've just added a few more details on the symtoms.. maybe the few extra clues might yeild some thoughts from someone !
Have you checked the band selection in Settings > Phone?
Is it possible that the phone could have become blacklisted? How long have you had it? How did you buy it? (This is probably NOT it, since the text still works.)
Have you tried a tweaker to enable HSPDA?
Had the phone for over 12 months so Blacklisted shouldn't be the issue. I've tried all the band selections including Auto but no luck.
Haven't tried the Tweaker... do you have any details on that...
Up until it suddenly stopped working it worked on all networks..
Another possible clue is that I was "Roaming" in France for a month and it was there that I made my last successful call. I have UK SIMS... I have an Australian SIM which I'll try now to see if that makes any difference..
Tried an Australian SIM roaming in the UK ! The service connects on two available networks,Vodaphone and TMobile but not on Orange and O2 (like with the Orange UK SIM). Same fault as the before with the networks it will connect to.
This seems to eliminate the SIM or Network being the fault and isolate the fault to the Device...
probably not the issues, but worth a try?
I live in a very strong 3G + HSPDA ares, but cant make or recieve anycalls tho texts work on T-mobile, i need to have my phone in 2G mode, and calls work fine???
If i leave my house and go a few miles 3G works as it should able to call and recieve etc!
Can't seem to work out how to force the phone onto 2G or 3G ... if anyone can advise I'll give that a try!
I have had very similar problems to this.
Please see my post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325149
I do think this is some sort of network problem as after I posted the issues in the thread above, I left home and travelled about 6 miles and the signal came back and the phone worked fine.
Today, I have been able to make and receice calls but all of a sudden I got cut off from a call then could not make or receive calls (incoming goes straight to voicemail).
I can however use my Orange SIM without problem and both Vodafone and Orange SIMs work fine in other phones.

You can also go into Settings > Phone > Band.
If the band tab does not appear (to the right of the network tab), then you may need to do a registry tweak.
From the very helpful wiki:
Enable/Disable GSM/UMTS Band Selection
Cingular kindly disables anything useful about the network on the 8525. To enable the Band Selection Tab on your Phone settings page, set the following:
[\HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\]
"ShowUMTSBandPage"=dword:00000001
To disable, simply clear the value to 0:
[\HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\]
"ShowUMTSBandPage"=dword:00000000

Have travelled outside England again this week and... well the phone works fine roaming on my UK Vodaphone SIM. Seems very ODD.. only thing I can put any logic to is a problem with the GSM part of the phone. It's working here in Stockholm on the 3G network no problem.
Anyone advise how I force the phone to be on GSM and 3G so I can test this theory. The BAND settings under SETTINGS>PHONE don't seem to give you this control over how it connects..
Hey i got the same problem anyone solved it yet!
Hi Sunnyb1
Since my last post I returned to England where the phone was useless. No SIM cards would work, some would not register at all but my Vodaphone SIM seemed to register but as before it would not receive calls, nor could I make calls out.
Now I'm in Australia with an Australian SIM card. NO PROBLEMS AT ALL !!
The phone works just fine !!
It's a mystery indeed...
Without any knowledge of the ins & Outs of how a SIM card / Network / and the phone work together it's impossible for me to arrive at any conclusive logic.
Hopefully someone might stand up to the plate and offer some explanation !
Anyone from HTC out there ??????

I got the phone and it was working perfectly on Orange then i tried unlocking it and ever since it has come up with "NO Service" like you everytime i put a Orange Sim in the phone it does not show up.. but when i put a Vodafone sim it works perfectly i tried reflashing the radio's many times
I unlocked this particular phone 6months before this problem showed up so I don't think the Unlock on it's own is the cause. What's particularly baffling is that a SIM may not work with the phone in one country.. but in another it works fine.
..... another country that is !
Hey Steve i have found out what the problem is after hours of research
I found this of another website
Orange & O2:
If you place an active orange or
O2 sim into a blacklisted handset you
phone will not show any signal strength
at all! If the handset is a Nokia then a
"SIM card registration failed" message
will also be displayed. If your handset is an
Ericsson then an "Invalid Mobile" message
will be displayed. For most other manufacturers
the handset will simply show no signal!
Vodafone & T-Mobile
If you place an active Vodafone or T-Mobile sim into a blacklisted handset, the phone will appear to function perfectly UNTIL you try to make an outgoing call. When you try to call out from the handset you will hear a sequence of beeps and then the call will be dropped!!
........
This means the handset you got is stolen or someone has blacklisted it ... i got mine of EBAY! and reading that i figured that it is stolen
It wont work in the UK but it will work everywhere else in the world
Mmmm... that's interesting Sunnyb1. If my phone is blacklisted then happened in JULY this year which was 8 months after I bought the phone. I bought the phone legit .
Can anyone advise what the "Blacklisting" process is.. I assume its done by using the IMEI number.
Who is the rightful owner of a handset and can any phone be blacklisted by anyone, and possibly by mistake ?
Would unlocking the phone from Orange cause a phone to be blacklisted ??
How can you "Un-blacklist" a phone.
Answered my own question here......
This website seems to have the answers
http://www.unlockme.co.uk/blacklist.html
OK... still on this thread. Can anyone advise how you find out which network in the UK has blocked your an IMEI number. I gather any of the UK networks can block any IMEI and it's not unknown for errors to be made. But only the network that blocks the IMEI can Unblock it.
Thought I'd post this before waiting forever for some call centre dimwit to give me the runaround.
Thanks...
first of all i am sorry to start a thread with a problem
i looked the forum w/o similar problem to this (please correct me if im wrong)
i plead to you developers to help me ,im stuck, depressed, and angry from my cruise
here it is :
i have touch cruise that i bought 1 month ago ( ONE MONTH, DAMN!!)
FIRST IT WORKED fine for few days , then the bigbang:
when i have (H) OR (3G) IN RADIO : no calls at all, its like phone is off, everytime i try to call ,the call end and then bleebed twice (end call tone)
cannot receive call either?? ( yes, HSPDA OR 3G is enabeld,, and band settings are set to auto)
when i disable hspda or 3g ( or set band to (gsm only) ,it works fine with G, E, or standard gsm
but not 3G ( NOW FEELING MORE DEPRESSED).
i cannot connect to internet : even in G,E,OR standard gsm
it says : connected, ---> connecting---> opening ,,,,then it get STUCK in 1 kb or 2 kb for ever-----( shows 1st line or two in google page but no more) then an error message ( there seem to be aproblem with your connection,,BLAH,BLAH,BLAH).
- I TRIED AUTOCONFIGURATION AND MANUAL TOO, NO USE ( not a settings or configurations problem)
- note : i tried my chip on my nokia 6680 and it is working like a charm ( internit, 3g, everything) ( not a chip or service problem)
- my friends ( have o2 life and touch dual ) have exactly the same settings and connecting from exactly the same place and service with no problems
- tried to move from area to area (even city ??????<--- desperate huh?)
with no use.
- THEN: I GOT EVIL : flashed new rom (bebe .67) - thanks btw- and newest radio for touch( cant remember the name ( 61 something, but was the best reviwed one)---> guess what?--> no useeeee
tried murata radio --------> you know what. ( by the way the reception strenght is exellant, thats not the problem)
flashed mobiz room ----> suicidal feelings ( yes ,no use)
flaSHED udk ----> nothing, natta
still stuck
returned to original radio---> its like cruise is telling me : GIVE UP DUDE, WHAT ARE U ,NUTS? IM NOT DIONG IT ,OK.
-before that i did dozens of hardreset, softreset ( almost every day or two)
pleeeeeaaase guys u r my only hope ,before i crash my cruise ( i mean it)
- i am ready to pay ( or donate)if necessary ( just tell me how, paypal not supported in my place , just give me another way and ill do it ,
i got sick of this
my brother makes fun of me : pocket pc huh? with no 3g or internet CAVEMAN?
again , sorry for long thread, sorry if misplaced,
thank you in advance
3G H network problem
I upgraded to radio 1.64.08.21 a month ago. Everything works fine for a month, till friday. Saturday my phone was off and I used gps for 40 min. Sunday start problems: I can use phone only in gsm band, in this way I can connect in edge or gprs and make calls, otherwise not call are allowed (two bips and the call is terminated) and no data connection! I have a dualsim adapeter, but with another sim card same problem! I try murata rom but no luck. Same issue! One more thing: saturday my battery was drained to zero, if it means something!
Nobody help us? Do We need to give our TC to htc assistence!?!?!
(I made this post also in all polaris radio)

allanon? you r speaking my mind
this is exactly the same problem
i hope someone will help us soon
and yes, i dont want any help from those htc support , all they are good at is repeating your words like parrots
I suggest to put the original ROM and RADIO and after that the original SPL ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1962153&postcount=79 ) and go with it to warranty... if you changed so many roms it means it is not a software problem i think.
Did you took out the battery and put it back in?
downgrade..
downgrade your radio rom to Murata (1.58.21.23)..
don't forget to backup your data, because Murata Radio does hardreset after downgrade..
3G H network problem
I tried Murata and original 1.58.21.23 rom, no luck! I read something related to the sim holder: It could be the cause of our nightmares! In fact I have a dual sim switching two sim, both 3G. The first day I buy polaris it works well switching from first sim to second and viceversa. The second day it doesn't works anymore. I can switch sim only after a soft reset for one times and after first switch only second sim works. Thinking an incopatible dual sim holder I buy another one where the manufacturer say good for the cruise: same result!!!
Now, after the network problem the sim switch without problem!?!? I think is an hardware issue...
P.S. I have changed only radio, Rom is the original italian!
thanks all for replies

0
Warranty
My tc now is sended back to assistence. Mine worked well more than 2 months without problem, then it died! Mystery of technology i guess.... I'll notice you when it's back!
@al_assiri2000
Search the forums for the 3G bug.
The problem occurs (according to the many reports I see here and in other forums) also with other units (like the Kaiser/TyTN II).
I had the problem myself with a Kaiser and they final solution was a change of the mainboard (on which occasion I returned the unit for refund because the mainboards were out of stock and a delay of weeks was announced).
The symptoms you describe point exactly to this problem.
Hardware problem...

Hi! So did somebody solve the problem finaly? Who manage to get device back fexed and what was the exact problem? I got the same problem with my O2 - mostly same I can tell... Cause in my case just EDGE and GPRS does not work - and it conserns just one operator.... Other opererator's sim cards work properly.... Changing sim cards of my own operator one to another does'n help.
Can somebody confirm that changing simcard base will solve the problem?
forget to telll
Just want to add that problem with my O2 occured in several weeks of using and I didn't change any settings and flashing rom or radio befor - so I think this is hardware.....
I just sent my polaris to warranty ( cellecom)---> pronounced : silly - come!!
im waiting now
im calling daily , they even know my voice now
hope to get my polaris soon .
i will post the updates as soon as i get it
thanks again to all of you guys
from all the replies : this is clearly a hardware glitch
at least i know what to do now--- waiting

from other replies , i think the problem is more than just an sim base
it has something to do with mainboard ( very poor quality hardware )- i think some one said (belguim company)
your best choice is to use ur warranty ASAP. ---> dont forget to put back ur original rom and radio and lock device back
good luck
I finally gave up and sent mine back to htc
they said it was the main board. they said that they would send back to me 3 to 5 days after they receive it. it took over 2 weeks but when all said and done it works great now and they did say they had to replace the main board. i sent it in right after the murata was discovered. I really wish i could have tried it to see if it would have fixed the problem. but anyways I have a new board to break now hehehe
Hi, I have lost all network functions. E.g. cannot send/receieve calls/sms. Everything else is fine. I have wiped all data and done a factory reset and put firmware jh1 and also jd1. No difference. The phone isn't stolen. Multiple sims work in other phones but not this one. What has happened? What can I do? I've been trying to get my phone working all day. PLEASE HELP!! If I try and get my balance I get a network error. If I try calling it beeps and hangs up. All sms messages will not be delivered and I will get a message 10 seconds later saying not delivered. Searching for a network I get 'unable to search networks during data service activated' and it offers to turn off the data service. I'm not sure if this is related.
AGAIN! PLEASE PLEASE help if you can. It might sound stupid or simple but any advice or help is appreciated. Basically I have a phone that cannot be used as a phone!! I beg you!! If you know something to fix this, let me know!!
This may sound a bit foolish but hope u do not have airplane mode activated.
Also did you drop the fone or it got wet or something like that?
I think u lost ur IMEI nuumber!without this number u can't call or internet.
did u used debug only and other option ander debug only in Odine?
controal ur IMEI number if it is 000000
this meen u lost ur IMEI number.
in samdroid.net ther is a thred over hoe to repier ur IMEI.
her is the page "forum.samdroid.net/f28/complete-imei-restore-how-1817"
i think u can find help ther.
Similar problem with 3 (Three) branded handset...
I got a Spica (Galaxy Portal) from ebay which seems to have been mis-flashed (is that a word?!) and wouldn't boot. I installed a new 'official' Samsung firmware and all seemed fine except that I couldn't connect to the '3' network. It is a '3' branded handset, I have a '3' SIM and am in a good 3G signal area. If I set it to only use 2G networks then it will connect to Orange as it's fallback 2G network and I can connect to Internet through GPRS/EDGE. However, I have realised that I cannot make/receive calls/texts! I can purchase items from the Market too.
I have tried various 'official' ROMs but to no avail.
The SIM works fine in my HTC TD2.
I'm unable to check the IMEI number now as I'm not at home, but could this be the reason for the problems or have I done something by flashing it with a generic Sammy ROM and not a '3' specific one (I know how '3' can be a bit strange)?
All ideas/suggestions gratefully received!!
to check ur IMEI just tyep *#06# in dial pad
happened to me i solved it by installing cyanogen 6.1.1 alpha 8.2
Hello Guys and and moderators of this forum , in the next lines I will explain you one problem with my N9005 in Orange Romania network, and the reasons explained by the network provider:
A few weeks ago my i went outside of my city and the phone changed network to GSM mode everything was fine until i noted that the time outside the city and of course LTE/4G area my mobile data was started but did not received any call ... ok I sayd ... probably it is one problem in network ... when I camed back in city suddenly the network changed and i received like 23 sms and severeal missed calls .... my friends and my bussines partners sayd ... "come ooon dude , you keep your phone closed and we can't have a normal conversation "
I called the client relatiion at 411 and they told me that .... NO Problems with network in the area where I reported the problem , and my phone got the problem.
I went at service and I related that :
In GSM mode with Mobile data activated when Data Transfer is ON ,,,, the arrows shows white and I know is traffic ... I can't receive any voice calls or SMS ... until the traffic stops
After 15 days they send me back the phone saying ... THE N9005 is ok .. the missue related is unprooved
I tested again with the same SIM CARD in front of Service personell and they seen the problem persist .... we take the option to resend in service the terminal .... after another 15 days they sended me back the phone saying again " THE PHONE GOT NO PROBLEM ALSO WE STOPED THIS TREAD BECOUSE IS A BAD JOKE SENDING THIS TERMINAL WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND THE ISSUE IS NOT CONFIRMED "
After that when I received again the terminal .. I insterted a new SIM CARD same from ORANGE RO in the terminal and same thing happened... IN GSM ONLY MODE with EDGE activataed and Traffic on (downloading a game from G Play) I can't receive any Voice call or SMS .... But I camed with the ideea of insterting a SIM CArd from VODAFONE .. and surprise everything works great .... when the same things are ON ... and a voice call is received the data STOPS and the terminal ring ... also same thing with SMS .
I reported this to SAMSUNG ROMANIA they sayd ... only 2 terminals got this problem ... but ORANGE Ro sayd .... IS not our problem with the network ... only with Samsung devices .
AFter I removed the simcard from Orange I insterted the card in a NOKIA 515 ... suddenly the phone got very hot and the battery was very very hot .. and in 5 minutes I got no battery and the phone was closed .
I went in ORange Shop with my phone saying the problem they sayd ... come oon your nokia is a FAKE that's why got hot and the battery was drained suddenly is your phone problem ... I also tryied to explain them that is theyr network having prb .... NO way .. only becouse they don''t recognize this problem . ANY OF YOU ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM ? please write down ... to know about this ...
TO MENTION I HAVE NOW the 5th ORANGE RO simcard and the problems still persist even with a LG G2 and a SGS4 .... Problably this conduct to my S3 I9305 to explode a few months ago ?!?
I suggest you switch carriers

It contained many other options like network personalisation, network subset personalisation, service provider personalisation, corporate personalisation, SIM personalisation. I selected SIM personalisation option putting sim card and it asked unlock permanently , I selected yes then the option appeared grey , slowly the network range gone then again I selected all other options and unlocked permanently then all options appeared grey , then I was not able to make calls . I removed the sim & put it again & it didnt worked. I put the sim in other phone it worked but not in my phone. I then switched off my phone and wiped & reset factory settings many times , but phone looked new as that when I bought , only thing sim didnt worked, it showed network not available . now I am not able to make calls. After every reset option simme lock in engineer mode is still grey.

You can try replacing the SIM tray, but where you messed around with the service menu I don't think it will help. Take your phone to Samsung for service.
