No mobile data SIM card issue - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I have seen this issue with other users, I have contacted Sprint support the only suggestion they have given me is to replace the phone. I was hoping someone has a better solution. When I start my phone I get LTE after a couple moments it goes through Sprint Self Service ( Like I was activating the phone ) after that I get an error along the lines of " The network took too long to respond we are locking the sim card" after which i still have mobile data. Then a little while after a couple moments I get another pop up error that says " No SIM card detected restart phone " Then i get no data at all and it shows up as SIM card unknown. (because they locked it)
I was curious if anyone knows of a service I can uninstall or freeze with titanium backup that will stop this from happening?

Anyone have any ideas?

"Not registered on network" "No Service"

Ok got this phone but it wont ring or recive calls ! .
After putting in my SIM card, entering my PIN code it still says no service. When you try and make a call it says "Not registered on network".
It was on T Mobile which I have had it unlocked via eBay. I got past the Google registration page by entering APN settings for my SIM card (O2).
Now I can user the browser and market etc but no calls.
I have done everything in THIS thread and think I have flashed it with
JFv1.43 RC9. (When I say think it seemed to flash but I cant see any difference so not sure if it worked).
Does anyone know how I can get the phone to work?
Thanks for your time

man I'm telling you that's been happening to me. except I upgrade to ION and then reverted back to haykuro's 6.0r1. everythig that;s happened to this guy has been affecting me
No service
I also have a problem with my G1. Bought it from my local polish netwerk (Era) and the phone works OK however, from time to time it looses the connection to network and it needs a reset in order to login to network again. Don't remember if it happened before they released the software which supported polish language. So what do you recon is it a hardware problem or did those useless local IT guys screwed sth up while translating android??
hi i have he same problem stuck in airoplane mode and no service has anyone found a fix yet????

I just bought a fido sim card and I get the msg: "cannot register on this network. choose another network, or disconnect your data connection and try again" when i try to manually connect to the network. I have using this phone with at least two sim cards back in my outcry and i bought it independently from my previous network from an eshop in Ireland..
Any thoughts? Could be the ROM and radio installed?

SIM Card Full Error

Hello All,
I am using HTC touch for a while and would use different ROM versions quite often. Recently i put in the some ROM which event i don’t remember which one i started getting this error below. I checked and made sure that there is nothing in the SIM card i also put in the SIM in different Cell phone to make sure its blank. I also reverted the device to the Factory Image but still the same issue. There is no pattern on when i get this error it would some time come twice in 1 hour and some time it would be couple of hours. Once i get this error and select Ok my network will go to searching and often end up enable Flight Mode and then disabling it.
"SIM card full. The SIM card is full. You must remove some messages from your SIM card to receive incoming SIM messages."
Any pointers are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jasjit
it will be necessary for you to call the carrier to locate a retail location near you that has a Cellebrite device... not all locations have one as they are quite expensive... using the Cellebrite it is possible to wipe/edit your SIM...
this happens sometime with my device also.
but in my case i just clean simcard and reinsert it.
may be u have faulty simcard or sim socket .

Insert valid Sim card error?

I've had my verizon gs4 for a month and no problems.
Now while traveling I keep getting errors saying I will "no longer have access to mobile data till i insert a valid sim card" ?
I've switched sim cards at the verizon store but it started again the very next day.
What gives?
Alan.. Sent with Galaxy S4
The error message that said I needed to insert a valid sim card happened again today while traveling home.
The good news is I think I figured it out!
I had so much hell with this error I wanted to share my findings.
I've talked to numerous verizon techs with suggestions to replace my sim card, reformat, maybe it was one of my apps, and even to replace my phone "but there's none in the warehouse".
Finally I discovered the Galaxy S4 requires a "nfc" enabled sim card!
You can't tell by looking at the tiny sim but the larger card the sim comes in has a notation of "nfc" if it's the right card.
I think as long as I was in my local area the network let me slide since I initialized he phone there... But when I ventured out it saw my non nfc sim as invalid!
After replacing I hung out in the Verizon store about 30 min because before it would error within 5-10 minutes. Then drove home "an hour drive" and absolutely no errors!
And I maintained a 4g signal throughout my whole trip which was through some back country where signal is usually marginal.
Update... As of 8 hours later still no errors!
This is a pretty serious problem for Verizon.
Why?
1. If I would have reformatted to factory settings... I would have gotten the same... All for nothing and days of configuration lost.
2. If I got another new phone, again the same.... All because I would be using my same sim card.!
I'm sure many replace the whole phone "and" sim together and when it works and it's assumed the problem was the phone or software.
What a terrible headache for the customer, tech support, and verizon customer service just because people don't know the proper sim card needed for the S4!
I'm mifted that this is not common knowledge among verizon personnel concerning such a popular phone!

Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910F) on 6.0.1 - "Not Registerd on Network"

Hey guys, I'm having an issue that I can't seem to resolve on my own. I recently broke the screen on my Note 5 so I decided to use my old Note 4 until the Note 8 comes out. Today I took out the phone, placed my simcard into it and started it up. I thought everything was fine until I tried making a call where it just gives me a pop up notification that I'm not registered on the network.
The phone isn't locked, bought it new unlocked. No custom roms (ever), IMEI is correct (naturally). So far I've reset the phone to factory settings to see if that would help to no avail.
If manually choose a carrier manually (both searching and choosing one takes longer than usual) I get a new message "No Service Selected Network (Telia N) not available".
The phone worked prior to me putting it away, my sim card works in other phones. Any suggestions or am I up sh**s creek without a paddle?
take out the simcard and try an emergency call (in my country it's a crime to playing with it. But without the card nobody can catch you.)
if the message appears again = it seems HW related problem
if the emergency call is working = it seems your phone restricted by the carrier and you need to ask the customer service why. Maybe a mistake
Thanks, it appears to work without sim card dialling 112. I'll email and call my service provider tomorrow.

Connection error or invalid mmi code

I have a Nokia 6 on the T-Mobile network, I am only using one SIM on this device. Recently whenever I use a short code to check my balance, data usage, etc. I get a "connection error or invalid MMI code" error. When I first got the Nokia 6 it worked fine then it starting giving this error.
I called TMo but they can't figure it out, I rebooted, manually and automatically re-selected the service provider, booted in safe mode. T-Mobile reconnected my device to the network themselves multiple times too, same error.
Yesterday, I found an old Alcatel Android phone which is a single SIM phone, I put my SIM in there and the short codes worked fine. I put the SIM back into the Nokia 6, I got the error all over again.
Does anyone know a fix for this, I am only using only SIM card so the articles and YouTube videos I found were not working as they concerned a phone with 2 SIMs.
Thanks all.
Fixed---sort of

Well, someone helped me resolve this (no not Tmo, but it wasn't a Tmo issue). Seems the Nokia 6 no longer switches to HSPA+ mode in order to process the short code (USSD), the workaround is to temporarily toggle the Nokia 6 to 3G, once this is done, the short codes work. I can then place it back onto 4G (LTE).
It used to work, so I am wondering if a recent Nokia update changed this. Not a big deal, I just have to toggle to 3G use the short code, then go back to 4G, a few seconds.
This person stated he had an issue with his LG, and found a setting to allow USSD over IMS in the hidden menu to resolve this so he doesn't have to toggle back and forth. I did not see this option in the hidden menu, so the 6 may not support it.
