Ok folks..Unlocked/unbranded u20i...upgraded to UK generic and now I cant get any 3G or H...any ideas??
most of us that upgraded with wrong FW had this issue, me too. Reflashed with right FW and problems disappered.
Who is your carrier and what did FW did you flash?
update your apn info?
yup everything is there.
Build.prop states states my SEMC is 1238-0199 I updated with World Generic 2.0.A.0.504 for u20i. On the back of phone my SI is 1238-9106.
This happened to me when I first updated to 2.1
Then I found Settings > Sony Ericsson > Settings Download
After that finished H started popping up.
I have the same problem, going from the Orange branded Rom to the UK generic Rom found using flashtool and now not having 3g, and not finding any WCDMA signal at all. I tried the settings download help but it didn't yield anthing. After clicking on "update settings" then the Network porvider, is there supposed to be any type of message stating whether or not getting the settings was successful?
I have that problem, too. On my house which is surrounded by lots of buildings, I have to manually set "GSM Only" in my network preferences. Otherwise, sometimes it gets 3G but most of the time it doesn't get signal at all (not even for calls/SMS).
When I'm on the go, I can safely choose "Prefer WCDMA" instead.

I'm in South Korea, using a sony x10. I wasn't sure if the latest gingerbread update would be released in my region, so I decided to flash the firmware myself to the latest stock gingerbread (2.3.3).
Afterwords I lost 3g access and my carrier says it's my fault or nothing they can do.
Afterwards, I rooted the phone and installed a custom kernel and still it's not available(I figured it was worth a shot).
I can see and select my mobile service provider(Sk telecom) in the list of data service providers, but my phone is not downloading any APN info from my carrier.
Any advice?
Hi,
search for APN information from your provider in the internet and enter them manually.
Somehow my APN got two additional letters and I had no 3G. I corrected the information manually and all is fine now.

You need to set up your wireless apn go to:
menu/settings/wireless & networks/mobile networks/network mode/gsm/wcdma preferred (click it)
Then Back button/Back button/sony ericsson/settings download then wait a few you will see it (3g/H) flash on (you do not have to click it it's just saying that is your network) then go to:
Back button/wireless & networks/mobile networks/access point name. there should be two apns
one wireless/one mmsc. if for some reason you have three make sure that the top one (the house icon 3g) is checked or you will be roaming
And always remember to backup your Settings and APNs,and anything else you need to keep. There are free apps on the market to do that but the pro/key versions have more settings and help the developers and no adware. Hope this helps if not all be here tomorrow or i'm sure someone else will help too i do have some apns just tell us what network your on an we can help you set them up. Good luck
No APN info shows up at all. If I go to Sk telecom service center, can they give me the info to manually input it?
My network is for SK telecom in South Korea. Any other info you need about the network?
You can try an all see if i can find it. So give me a day and all post it
Sorry no luck that an Three other Country's i can't get for some reason. It's a bummer
Maybe someone else here can help.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 and I flashed a Stock 2.3.5 Rom to my phone because I screwed up flashing a previous Rom. The Rom I flashed appears to be defaulted to Poland, I managed to change the language, but for some reason I can't get any Cell reception, I am unable to send texts or make phone calls. I checked the CSC and it is: XEO - Poland (Plus, Era, Heyah, Orange, Play). I don't know much about phones but this appears to be an issue since I don't live anywhere near Poland.
I have a Telus Sim card but it appears as if my phone can't connect to their network. Additionally, before flashing this Rom I was pretty sure that my only option in Network Operators was Telus, but now I have Telus and CAN Rogers Mobile INC. When I attempt to select Telus from this list it says "Registering on TELUS..." for around 2-3 minutes then says "Unable to connect to network, try again"
I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
When I go to About Phone>Status it says..
Network: Unknown
Mobile Network Type: UMTS
Service State: Out of Service
Roaming: Not roaming(although this appears to switch on and off, despite me being well within Telus coverage.)
Mobile Network State: Disconnected
Android Version: 2.3.5
Baseband version: S5830XWKS2
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-perf-CL654989
[email protected] #1
Build number: Gingerbread.XWKS9
Do I have to install a Telus Canadian version of the stock firmware for 2.3.5 or could I possibly install stock firmware for 2.3.4 and update it through kies to get the appropriate CSC?(My phone is able to connect to Samsung kies)
I don't care if my phone has 2.3.4 or 2.3.5, either one would be fine with me.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated, ask me any and all questions.
MAJOR EDIT
I put *#7465625# into my phone to check the Network Lock and Sim Lock's and it turns out
Network Lock [ON]
Network Subset Lock [OFF]
SP Lock [ON]
CP Lock [ON]
Does this mean that I can't connect to to the network because there is a lock on it? If this is right I assume I need to go to Telus and have them unlock it, right?
Edit: I phoned *#2263# to get into a frequency selection screen and I selected: WCDMA Band Preference>WCDMA 850
Telus runs on 850/1900, I have the option to choose 1900, and the option to choose all(850/900/1800/1900/2100), there's also an option to choose "Automatic", should I stick with running 850, or risk running automatic and have it randomly jump around for unknown reasons? I know 850 will work in most areas I go, so it wouldn't be a serious drawback.
I think it's best to use the Telus firmware.....
Herpderp Defy.
I'm not entirely certain, but I don't think Telus has any official Firmware that the public has access to. If you have found any that would be appreciated, but as far as I'm aware, companies don't put that kind of thing out into the general public.
On Telusmobilitys site if you go to the section to update software I can see Samsung Galaxy Ace on the list but it says 2.3.4 and there are no available updates, which means I can't update it through that method.
Is the CSC being different an issue or just a small annoyance?

I don't think I clarified this in the op, there is only one option in the CSC list, which is XEO, Poland, I presume I need a Telus CSC, however, using the list found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787163
I can't find one that would work for a Telus phone.
Edit: My phones Network is now connected to "TELUS" and Service State is "In Service" but I still have to send messages 3-4 times before they finally say sent, sometimes taking up to 3 minutes to send a simple message.
If anyone knows any way to fix this I'd greatly appreciate it.

Hi,
I am on t-mobile network, my problem is that i don't seem to get EE network on my S3, it will change the between t-mobile n orange not ee. When I insert sim into iPhone then I will get EE network. I have tried unrooted n rooted but no EE.
Now when am on t-mobile network my Internet is really good but as soon it's moves to orange network then Internet is really really slow, I mean 34kbps.
I have contacted t-mobile n tried everything but no luck.
Is this something to do with S3?? Anything I can do? Any advice appreciated
ta
I'm on t mobile/Orange through t mobile, Orange signal is rubbish, never gets h or h+, but as I'm on t mob, it reverts to them by preference I think, only switching to Orange when it looses signal.
I used to be on Orange, and then I always had to go into settings and select network (choice of EE or EE!) So it's a bit hit and miss.
I also sometimes get it showing as t mob in notification draw, and sometimes EE, all very confusing.
EE sucks!!! Nothing wrong with your phone.... I've got Orange and 3UK. With the second one I'm more than happy. Download up to 26Mbps!
I never get EE on my S3....do you ever get EE?
Also is there an easier way to swap networks?

Are y you with orange or t mobile?
I'm with Orange and I've never had a problem in having H+ my carrier signal mostly shows EE.But isn't that all it is? a re branded carrier signal from orange and T-Mobile?
It's weird cos I get EE network when I put sim into iPhone
T mobile
Why is it that I don't get EE anywhere? Also I do get H+ but Internet is awful... Am thinking it's something to do with my S3 or firmware, radio etc

Are you on latest mb5? Are you locked and branded?
Also don't about it displaying ee or not, the other thing you could try is go to tmob website and get the apn settings sent to your phone, they may need updating
Sorry don't know about mb5? How do I find out? Plz
Unlocked n unbranded
I have done t-mobile website but apn setting does NOT come over to my phone for some strange reason... I have entered ee apn setting manually but still no EE network. I am not fussed what network it is on as long as I can get Internet!
Currently limited Internet on orange n full on t-mobile.
Download mb5 here. http://live.samsung-updates.com/details/7693/Galaxy_S_3_International/GT-I9300/BTU/I9300XXEMB5.html
Flash with Odin, this is the latest UK unbranded
Once you've flashed the MB5 modem & matching RIL, go to settings, more settings, mobile networks, network operators and make sure 'select automatically' is chosen.
Then go back to mobile networks, access point names and delete all the APNs listed. Then create a new APN but only complete these fields; name: Everywhere APN: Everywhere
Reboot the phone and you should have a better experience.
You can also find a CWM flashable MB5 modem & RIL in kamalmawa's thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2076857
I already have that installed..xx mb5
Am also rooted on vanilla rootbox... Is that a problem?

Have you contacted to your operator it could be helpfull also
Yes.... As far as they concerned everything is fine.
Also bear in mind that the network is undergoing a lot of engineering at the moment due to the marrying of the two networks and the LTE network introduction, but for me Orange has always been rubbish so I just select t mob and live with the pain of selecting the network occasionally if it gets hung on Orange

Just flash the zip in recovery, the RIL is included and it will even backup your existing modem. No need to play with root or the ROM, as long as your current ROM is rooted.
Thanks, will try
Here's my story, about 3 weeks ago i bought my new xperia SP, and first i get the sim card provide by some operator that include the package. And for some reason i have to change the sim card for another operator, but after i change the sim card the signal seems low then the first operator. And i try to get some information about this android phone. And i get this some information that give some advice about setting the signal. And the good thing about it is it can make the battery can last a little longer because the setting set just choose the wcdma only or just gsm only it depends what the best in my area, and can reduce the heating that cause from device always search what the best network if we choose the wcdma/gsm option. And here the thing start. I follow the instruction: first you dial *#*#4636#*#* and the setting window come out. And the choose phone setting, set the network to wcdma only or gsm only. And i choose the wcdma only. After that start to refresh the smsc and update it. After that the instruction said to choose to select the radio band. After i select the radio band my device loose the signal and it just show x in signal bar. After that i try to restart the phone but it come out the same no signal appear. I try to remove and replace the sim card but it steel same, i try to change with another sim card from another operator and it steel same. After that my last choice is to reset my phone to factory setting. And seems it work my signal is back. But after that my phone signal become so weak and recently i got my signal got lost for a view time it just show x but it's not for long the bar seems back again. I start confused is that the advice i choose is wrong ? And there a some info that i got from some search in internet that says upgrade the baseband can make a risk that wifi, LTE signal, and the other connections setting loose they capabilities. I'm so frustated now need help immediately, anybody have some advice or solution? thank you first.

I've been facing the excat same problem with my Xperia SP (C5303)....
Please, can ayone help us?
Thanks.
I have the same problem too. I go to the service menu then select the USA band, and I lost the signal. And there is no networks found/available!
The solution is, you need to flash the baseband. First you need to download the newest stock rom (the stock must for your country, you can try asking Google). After that, you download and install the flashtool ( ask to Google too ).
After that, install the drivers (not compatible on Windows 8.1 ), goto C:/FlashTool/Drivers, and run the installer, then select Flashmode Driver.
After you install the driver, move the downloaded rom to C:/FlashTool/Firmwares, then run the flashtool via start menu.
Click thunder icon, select Flashmode, then select the firmware you downloaded.
Make sure that you only flash baseband, not kernel or wipe data, or anything (I forgot where the checkboxes located)
Then, click flash. Turn of your phone. Then hold Volume Down Button, and plug the USB cable that connected to PC, until the illumination bar turns green.
Then wait the process, and it's done.
I hope this helps you

that solution is for you accidently choosen the wrong band, and you lost the signal forever. If they are having low signals, try switching from WCDMA to 3G

Ok, sorry for not giving details earlier. I've been using my XSP for 6 months on a 2G connexn, and all was good. Then I tried to shift to a 3G and my problem, on WCDMA only or WCDMA Preferred, I get absolutely no connection, no voice, no data, no bars! GSM only for 2G is still fine. Wifi is working fine.
Greetings,
after I lost on my xperia m4 aqua signal and couldn't connect to any network I went to *#*#4696#*#* and checked if radio is on and modified networks to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL), I got it back for some time, but after that it stopped receiving any signal again. While searching around in menus I selected USA Band (the only one in menu, thought it is OK to click it, as there wasn't even back button -.- ), it still didn't work. I read on forum some users lost reception after changing band. After which I proceeded by flashing original firmware (I relocked bootloader and used Sony PC Companion), which didn't solve my problem. The next step I choose was to flash modem.sin using flashtool from firmware downloaded through xperifirm (for my country, my mobile and same operator), but I still cant connect to any networks and when I try to find any, even tho my IMEI is correct, but I receive message: "Error while searching for networks". I am now completely lost as to what to do next, so I created this thread in hopes of getting assistance solving this problem.
EDIT:
My sim card is working in other phones, but in this phone doesn't work any sim. 1st I lost LTE signal only and could use 3G, 2 days ago only EDGE was working, but now I can't get any signal. I wasn't doing any modifications to system in-between. Does it mean my antenna is probably dead?
