Not Registered on Network - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Woke up this morning with everything working. Got out of bed and place my phone on my desk and turned on my computer. I then looked back at my phone to see i had not service. Confused, i restarted my phone to see if that worked and it didnt. I tried another sim and it didnt work either. i then put both of the sims in a iphone and it worked there. I restored the phone to stock and 2 other roms and it still isnt working. The weird part is when on stock i get signal bars even when their is no sim. When i try to dial out i get "Not Registered on Network"
Any help is great help

Wrong section, ask in the general or Q&A.

Have you checked your Settings? Still got IMEI? ([Settings] [About Phone] [Status]) Phone connected to correct Network Operator? Access Point Names has correct data in it? [Settings] [More Settings] [Mobile Neworks]

Thanks for the responses. I had a rom running on it for a little bit over a week and didnt make any changes since. I also do have an Imei and an apn

It doesnt even show my network operator, thats the weird part it only shows rogers and when i put a sim in for fido (Rogers>Fido) i got service but no h+ even with the correct apn i only got edge

My Network operator doesn't show as a normal either - I do a Search and get (after a wait) Telstra, Optus and Voda - choose Telstra and it pops up a 'Registered on Network' msg.

yeah when i search i only get rogers???? This is the single most awkward thing ive ever seen
EDITTZ Found the problem. The phone switched itself to only look for one band not all. +_+ dont know how it got their and how it pertained through all the wipes but got it working DDDDDDDD

i had the same very exact problem..and yes when its in auto mode it only detects gsm signal so the data is slow signal is E.
i usually use the wcdma only option so that the phone on searches for 3g h and h+ but now when i select that option it only gives me
not registered on network..and no data signal at all.. and also the weird thing is that there is a signal bar on it plus when i scan for
network it searches the other two carrier brand on our country not the sims own carrier. help anyone

Hey xTristinx, glad you got your phone working.
I have the same problem on my Galaxy S, my SIM wouldn't register a network on it but it worked on a different phone. My Galaxy S still gets a signal but always says "out of service". I think this might be a problem because my friend used his SIM card in my phone and it f***** up the bands. Could you give me any suggestions on how you fixed your problem?
Thank you.

[Q] Strange Vibrant Issue

High all. I just purchased a Vibrant today that was brand new in the box and had never been turned on. The first thing I did was unlock it to work with AT&T. Everything works including 3G, however whenever I try to select any option in wireless settings I get this message "Unable to change networks during data service activation. Do you want to disconnect the data service and change available network?"
Does anyone know what caused this and how to fix it?
Did it ever connect to a tmobile network or did you put in the att sim right away?

I put the att sim in right away as I dont know anyone with tmobile. There must be a way around it. Like in one of those hiden menus.
Its just a notification that its stopping data to find a new source. Mine does that when I switch it to "2g only". Its ok, idata will turn back on after a few moments
^^ yep, i get the same message when i toggle between 2g/3g. not a problem at all.
Ok thanks for the reply guys.

Vibrant Radio tower problem?

Aite Ive got two samsung vibrants. Bought them both new. Did the exact same thing on both to unlock them and make em work on AT&T.
One works perfect. The other one just says No service no matter what i do. I tried selecting the network manually but it says sim card doesnt support the network.
Next I tried the odin method to put the stock firmware back on. Rooted. Since my unlock codes werent present on my phone, i used the repair_nv_data fix to try and manually set the unlock code(what i did for the other vibrant), but still no luck. Still says no service when i put the sim in. Weird thing is data kinda works. It says no service but the 3G/EDGE icon keeps popping up and disappearing.
Any suggestions?
Search xda for "enabling the 850 band", id look but search is crap on the xda app. Its my understanding that it works better off of at&t towers with that enabled. Hope this helps.

I'm having the exact same problem, except I've had my phone for almost a year and just now got this problem. I can use data to browse, twitter, whatever; but can't make any calls. I tried my SIM card on another Vibrant and it works fine; tried another SIM on mine and still get "No Service". Any help will be greatly appreciated.

How do I get rid of the little R above my signal bars?

Hey guy,
I have a little R above my signal bars in the top right corner of the notification bar. I recently factory reset my phone and now it is there.
I have turned off the User Data packs and mobile network and it is still there.
I have wiped all caches and done hours of research but I am still coming up with nothing.
Also on my lock screen instead of just having the time, date, etc...It has one section that says
Roaming............Home
Time.................Time
Date.................Date
It has two side by side instead of just one big one.
How can I get rid of the R and the roaming time and date on my lock screen?
All help is appreciated.
I am running Cf-Root-SGS3-v6.4
That R, and the description on your homescreen, mean that you are in Roaming mode; you are not in your own carrier's network.
Try connecting to your provider's network, maybe your phone somehow chose the wrong one. (Altough I have no clue how that could happen)
Do you live in an area with poor signal coverage or near a country border?
No I dont live near any borders. I am in the middle of a big city with great coverage. I selected T-mobile as my carrier. When it scanned there was only two options, T-mobile or At&t...I chose T-mobile since that is my carrier.
After selecting, it told me that I was registered on network but my problem didn't change.
Any more ideas?
Any thing else I could try? I called T-mobile and they said they would refresh the connection but I am still having the same issues.
Can you try this ?
Go to Settings / Security / Lock Screen Options.
Disable dual clock on lockscreen while roaming.
Enable it again, it will then ask your current city.
Choose your home town or pick the one with same time change.
I posted a thread about this too.
I did NOT have this issue untill i got the latest update from Kies (friday the 6th).
Now i'm forever in roaming mode as well... cannot seem to turn it off.. I'm on tmobile the phone says it, i've scanned it three times and always selected tmobile..
Really aggrivating..
seems to be something with tmobile and the newest firmware
Build number IMM76D.i9300XXBLFB here.

Just untick roaming in settings, more settings, mobile networks, roaming.
BTW YOU`RE IN THE WRONG THREAD, THIS IS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL S3.
YOU COULD FLASH ANOTHER MODEM IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTS.

This didn't fix it. Got rid of the two clocks but that's it.

If you saw the firmware he posted it says i9300. This is the i9300 forum.
OP, are your APN settings correct?

I have all the correct apn settings and I even went into t mobile to confirm. They didn't have any idea. Their answer was I had a bad phone and should exchange it. My response in my head was, "thanks but...I am sure that Global Mobile doesn't want my broken rooted s3 back haha.."
Helpful, Thank you!
My samsung galaxy s3 is still roaming and I have all the steps I saw in here
go to settings>more>mobile networks>network operators>automatically choose preferred network(Choose automatically)........then you wait for network signal to appear on its normal state.

[Q] Dual sim chinese S3 clone roaming problem

Hi
My phone is Star OneM92 dual sim Chinese S3 clone running 4.1
I'm experiencing a problem with my Virgin (UK) sim. The phone is automatically throwing it in to roaming mode. The "r" sign comes up at the signal bar.
I've checked with Virgin and they confirm no roaming charges apply as its a domestic sim. Of course when I told them the phone is copy they immediatly threw a fit and I got a lecture how I should never of you one in the first place.
Its dam annoying when I make a call. I have to confirm I want to use a roaming sim.
I've tried different positions and other sim cards from O2 and Vodafone and they work fine.
Can anyone shed any light on to this and advise how I can get around this.
By the way, I know I shouldn't of got a clone and yes I'm a noob and all that. Apologies for my inexperience in advance
