Question GSM/2G network - unavailable for retrieving calls - Sony Xperia 1 III

Hi,
Since I got my Xperia 1 III people can't reach me when I switch my mobile network to GSM only mode.
I can call and retrieve calls for a short period of time when I switch to GSM only mode, and then after couple of hours people can't reach me at all.
This problem is not present on other network modes.
I tried to switch network scanning to manual as well as to automatic, but for no avail.
Can someone help me with this problem?

[Q] Roaming and hanged connections

Hi
One week ago I moved my personal phone number to a roaming phone operator, called simyo (belongs to KPN). Several times per day when I try to access internet (I use push mail, always on gtalk, etc) cant do it. It seems is connected the internet. The coverage shows 3G and the uplink arrow shows activity. Of course I ve marked the options "Use on roaming network". I need to reset the device or turn on/off airplane mode. I had a similar problem with windows mobile time ago in other samsung device. Never had this problem with other phone operator or using the roaming operator (simyo) with other android device. Any idea?

1. Disable Mobile data, then wait for 3-5 minutes
2. Enter Service mode, then change network to WCDMA only, repeat it like 2 times.
Done.
Correctly good luck...

my problem is described here -Can others be so kind as to verify if they are also having an issue with receiving voice calls or SMS while their phones are using the 2G network for data access. (3G and wifi either unavailable or turned off.)
We have this issue with Orange and I have tested it on one Sunrise iphone4 and we had the same issue. Which is not surprising since Orange and Sunrise are operated by the same staff. It does work correctly over Swisscom.
I raised this case with Orange over one month ago and they still have given me no concrete feedback as to why their network behaves like this.
(FYI this is a network issue and not related to any phone configuration).
Feel free to harass Orange about this. It might get them to pull their fingers out a bit. When I raised the case it took me about 10 calls to their support plus 2 visits to Orange shops to finally get a technician who was capable of understanding this simple but critical issue.
EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM:
1. Force phone to use GSM (2G) mode only or be in an area with no 3G coverage, or if your phone chooses to use the 2G network
2. Disable switching to wifi:
3. Connect to 2G packet data, download email or download webpages: Status Bar-> spinning wheel
4. While packet data is connecting, using another phone place a call to your phone
5. After packet data has connected, using another phone place a call to your Phone
EXPECTED OUTCOME:
You expect the packet data connection to either DROP or be SUSPENDED (depending
on network capabilities) and for the phone to ring indicating an incoming call or SMS.
ACTUAL OUTCOME:
The packet data connection persists and remains active; the phone does not ring
and the call is handled by the network as if the phone was unreachable (for most
users this means forwarding to voicemail).
REPRODUCIBILITY:
always; no exceptions.
This has been tested extensively on the Orange network by me and many other users.
Tested devices which all show the same issue, iPhone4, iPhone3GS, Iphone 3G, several Android models.

[PROBLEM] GSM network switching - how to disable

HI, I am a lucky (for now) owner of OPX.
I have problem with network switching. Iam living in small village and i have to use network roaming (yes, i can use others providers network as well for free - in my country).
I'am in P4 network(base/mother network), but in my village there is no good signal for this network - so, i just using another one - usually PTC 3G because this network has best signal in my area.
I have few android phones in the same network (P4) and when i select network, phones do not switch to any other network - even if there is no signal of this network (Nexus4, Nexus5, Sony Xperia Z and CAT S40).
With OPX its different, and very problematic. When i switch to PTC network, it works and not switch to any other network until i left the phone and let it for sleep... (5-10 min) then network switch to the base network P4 and ussually there is no signal in this network, and i have to wait until i can make a call or send SMS message. I dont have the problem with any other phone. I see, that the problem intensifies in specifed room, where is Wifi(dualband) router - but not only. I suppose, its software problem.
EDIT: Switching to P4 network happens when phone screen is off and phone is in idle, after turn on the screen and waiting few seconds, phone ussualy connecting to PTC netwok with good signal.
Screen with bad signal: 1drv.ms/1JmvSU1
EDIT2: I found another freaky thing, after while of phone IDLE, iam turning on screen, and there is full P4 signal, after 1-3sec freeze (yes, freeze, laag) signal agin is 0 and i can enter phone PIN code to unlock.
And there is my question, how to make this works well ? Is there any way to force select only one network ? (i dont need switchning). Maybe can i do this with root privilieges ? I hope, you can help me guys.

Not connecting to Network Operators?

Alright, so here's the problem:
I've had my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge for around 4months now, having no problems with it what-so-ever.
The other day (Tuesday) having waking up, my mobile wasn't able to send or receive phone calls or SMS messages, but it was still connected to my providers internet.
I can still browse the web using my provider, giffgaff, under 4G internet but when I try to send a text or phone anyone it says: "Not registered on Network".
I've contacted my network provider and they are adamant it's nothing to do with my network, also tried my sim in another phone and it works.
Now, I checked my IMEI and it was unblocked.
Tried rooting, factory resetting my phone and putting different roms on, nothing seems to be working. My internet still works on my phone, just my network is unable to connect.
When I manually search for network I find: Vodaphone, O2, EE, 3 Network. Having tried to load it up on O2 (Giffgaff uses O2 and my network provider asked me to do so) it says it's unable to connect.
I'm just wondering, is there anyway to resolve this?
Also, my signal bar is full, and the local reception for my Network is "excellent".
Hello, i've been having the same problem and couldn't resolve this with my network provider aswell i can get connected to the network but soon as it registers to 3g it kicks me of my network operator the only temp fix i could find was go to settings, mobile networks, network mode, gsm only, then register to network to receive and send calls and texts, i've tryed everything and it's the only thing i can suggest as a temp fix .:good:

Constant disconnect and reconnects when using mobile data on 4G LTE network

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S9+ for a couple of weeks now and noticed a strange issue.
Whenever I'm connected to my service providers 4G LTE network and use mobile data, I can see mobile data along with the mobile network get disconnected and reconnect quite frequently. As in, I can see the mobile signal indicator turn to no signal and then back on again.
It seems to occur when there is a burst of data communicating through the connection. i.e. start of a Youtube video playback, doing a speed test etc. It's quite frequent and annoying.
So far I've tried the following to no avail:
- Network reset
- Using a different SIM card
- Booting the phone in safe mode
Pretty sure it's not a network provider issue because my wife uses the exact same phone with exact same firmware and hers does not have this symptom.
Any help is appreciated.
P.S. - I have not seen the issue when connected to WiFi on the HSPA+ network of the provider. Seems to occur only on 4G LTE.
I tried the following additional scenario:
I put two sims;
SIM 1 for calls and text on 3G/2G auto connect
SIM2 for data on LTE/3G/2G auto connect mode.
SIM2 connects to 4G. Whenever there is a sudden burst of data on it, mobile networks on both SIMS disconnect and reconnect.
