[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iviarck:
Update: My SIM does not work in any handset. The Desire will not connect to any network using any SIM (but shows a decent signal level).

The behaviour is as if both SIM and handset are barred. When I call my mobile number from a landline, instead of voicemail or "This user is not available right now" I get a UK "number unobtainable" or "disconnected" continuous tone back, like the number no longer exists.

O2 are claiming that both the SIM and the handset are damaged and that I need to visit one of their stores. I am feeling that something has gone wrong with their routing system for both my handset and my SIM.

Does anyone reading here have any definitive knowledge in this field that can help when I eventually do get my backside to the O2 shop?

Or does anyone have any theories?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
The only thing I can think of, is that you reached a max number of transmissions.

But, I think that may be only from one of our moscow providers, and shouldnt apply to you. Basically, you do 100,000 transactions, and the sim card goes TU. But that was 3 yrs ago.

Sounds like your provider has things mucked up, especially if the sim doesnt work in any handset. I would suspect your IMEU is also blocked, but the local guy at the store doesn't know how to deal with it.

Flash it back to a stock ROM, and go raise cane at the providers store, and get a new handset.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iviarck:
The handset isn't from my ISP, so they are not going to replace it whatever happens. I would have to get out the HTC warranty (which should still be valid).

I can easily flash back a stock ROM - I have one all ready to roll on the SD. How about the root access - would I need to unroot it too?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
When you flash back to a stock RUU ROM, is usually nulls the root access.

O mate, I have the exactly same problem! !!!!!!!!!!

Let me know if u got it fixed

I bit think it might be a virus from market.

—-- check what I post in CM's forum -----------

I'm not sure if this is the phone problem or ROM problem or SIM problem. Just post here to see anyone can help. Thanks in advance.

I've installed CM7 for over two weeks, with everything working great! But this morning, my phone showed a notification with "No SIM Card. Emergency calls only".

Well, here are what I tried to solve the problem:

1. I tried to open my phone, remove the battery and SIM card and cleaned it and insert again (i'm 120% sure it's in the right direction, it has worked fine for months!) didn't work.

2. I re-installed ROM and still "No SIM Card". btw, I tried to install Leedroid and CM7 again.

3. I reset the phone to factory setting and erased/format the SD card, which i saw somewhere online.

4.I checked the "Location & security" - "Set up SIM card lock" and found the box of "Lock SIM card (require PIN to use phone)" is ticked, I don't remember i did this! and I tried to input some PIN like 0000 or 1234. didn't work. I thought it might be the SIM card problem then, and emailed my phone carrier about the PIN. but I removed the SIM and rebooted the phone and re-checked the SIM card status, the "Lock SIM card" box was still there. Ok, I got really confused in here now.

my phone carrier replied to my email, telling me to try SIM card in other phone, if it requires PUK, they will give me PUK. (I will do that tmr) I'm thinking of trying some friend's SIM in my phone to see if the problem is in the phone hardware.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iviarck:
Did you try another SIM in your phone? In my case both the SIM and the Phone seem to be blocked/barred by O2 (my service provider).

Unlike in your case, my SIM is not seen as "no SIM" but as one not allowed to connect to the network. It has the same effect in other handsets and no SIM will allow my phone to connect to any network. Also, my phone does not have the "SIM lock" option ticked.

Next step will be to RUU the phone.

I intend to go to an O2 shop on Tuesday to see what they say there.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fragargon:
if you mind me erupted in this post, i wouldn't flash a rru rom since my feeling is not hardware related... if so wifi won't work at all neither sometimes 3g data.

have already use thetering?? already read that some provider close the connection if so.

I would try some other provider sim, some of them gives sim for free as prepaid.

this is just my feeling about

hope this help
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iviarck:
Agreed - I wouldn't recommend RRU flashing unless about to claim on warranty / return the phone to the supplier. Since I have been advised by my service provider to take the phone to one of their shops I feel that it would be better to RRU first.

Yes, I have used tethering, but that is perfectly allowable in the UK and on my O2 unlimited data contract.

As I said earlier, I have tried other SIMs in my handset
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fragargon:
so what i have already expeienced about 3G data connectivity in my neighborought.

no data connection allowed, each time a went to wireless&network/mobil network uncheck and check to see if it was able to connect, it said fail... send mail to my provider... gives me answer they gonna see blabla...

it s only few days later that i learned that they were "fine tuning" their network for improvement... hope i did'nt flash radio rom or whtever things like this.

if i were in your shoes, i would wipe /data (place where the settings are store) and set the apn settings once more (i have read that you had made factory reset isn't it?) so anything would be lost.

hope this help
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iviarck:
My problem is a lack of connection for incoming / outgoing phone calls and SMS. Despite a decent signal level, I have the status "Emergency calls only" and when calling my number, I get a "Number Disconnected" or "Unobtainable" tone. This seems to indicate a phone with a barred IMEI. The SIM doesn't work in other handsets, indicating a barred SIM too.

I did do a reset / wipe. I made and Nandroid backup first, so when the test failed, I simply restored my settings from backup. The issues I have are not related to the APN settings, which I know inside out and can redefine (as I have done a few times) easily.

Thanks for the contribution to the thread
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fragargon:
hi, still me ;)

this really annoying, would suggest to cut the piece of cake or its phone related or it s provider related...

if from your mobile setting/about phone/phone identity... you should see 6 different information like :

model number + imei + iemei sv + de serial numb + phone number (not the one from provider) + imsi

you can also check your RIL through terminal with

su
getprop "gsm.version.ril-impl"

message => HTC-RIL 2.2.0028hmi (date)

THIS IS FOR MY CASE working with my radio (embedded i have not flash any RIL and would not advice to do)

only to check up if everything sound good with your phone... this smelt a provider related.

hope you can sort this ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iviarck:
Here is my ril implementation code:

# getprop "gsm.version.ril-impl"
HTC-RIL 1.6.1062G (Apr 23 2010,17:35:06)

In the about screen, I get the following information:

model number: HTC Desire

imei: (my IMEI number - matches the one printed inside, behind the battery)

imei sv: O2

de serial numb: (not present in UK information)

phone number: (not the one from provider) - only the one from my provider shown

imsi: don't see this listed nor do I know what it is.

How is the cake cutting looking so far?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fragargon:
hi, so far smelt a sim card/provider problem

’International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) is a unique identifier provided by the sim card - allow gsm or umts identify the mobile user... and it's given by the sim card

have a look on this

International Mobile Subscriber Identity ( IMSI):

Each registered user is uniquely identified by its international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI). It is stored in the subscriber identity module (SIM) A mobile station can only be operated if a SIM with a valid IMSI is inserted into equipment with a valid IMEI.

There are following parts of an IMSI:

Mobile Country Code (MCC): 3 decimal places, internationally standardized.

Mobile Network Code (MNC): 2 decimal places, for unique identification of mobile network within the country.

Mobile Subscriber Identification Number (MSIN): Maximum 10 decimal places, identification number of the subscriber in the home mobile network.

more info on http://www.tutorialspoint.com/gsm/gsm_addressing.htm

so it s definitively a problem of sim card/provider...

hope this help you mate ;)

edit: i got one and each mobile user with sim card should got one, it's a "secret" number associated with your "public" number which is known by everybody... your number call
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iviarck:
Just to close the issue here and to offer up pointers for anyone with a similar problem, I now have some answers.

It turns out that on April 20th, my IMEI was blacklisted in error. According to O2 the bar was placed on the central database indicating that the action was taken by Vodafone. O2 have tried to lift the bar but the attempt was rejected because of the Vodafone flag.

Vodafone have never heard of my handset nor did they request any such blacklisting. They cannot lift the bar because the phone was never under their control and the number doesn't exist on their system. Their system will not allow them to handle numbers and IMEIs they don't have authority over.

This means that O2 are mistaken and that someone at O2 must have placed that entry in the barring database and then flagged it as Vodafone's work.

Just to make this quite clear - my phone is my own. Nobody says it was or has ever been stolen. Nobody has any track of a request to bar it. This is a freak accident or error, like none they have ever seen before.

So I am currently caught between the two service providers, each claiming it's the other's fault and neither able to fix the problem.

Next step - UK Ofcom.

... unless anybody out there knows of a way to make someone own up and correct this error? (no - I don't want to re-program my IMEI number).

There is a place reserved in H...... for those that mess with Android.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iviarck:
Resolution - almost

3 weeks later and a final answer is in.

On April 19th, a careless individual working for Vodafone insurance, in an attempt to blacklist a handset reported as broken and being replaced under insurance, mistyped the IMEI and barred mine instead.

A week ago, this was discovered and Vodafone, faced with evidence from a police search and listings from databases that categorically showed they had instigated the blacklist entry, immediately lifted the bar and apologised in cash - not a lot, just a token, but a welcome gesture.

Today, I am awaiting delivery of a new SIM from Three UK. O2 were less than helpful and on occasion downright rude. As the "throwing in the towel" person put it yesterday, there is an attitude among a large percentage of customer services staff there that if you didn't get your phone from them, then any problems you have are your own. A week after the blacklist entry was removed by Vodfaone, my Desire remains barred from using the O2 network and despite hours - nay - days on the phone to various customer services operators, team leaders and managers, they have given up trying to work out how to stop their systems seeing the removed Vodafone bar as current. They have cheerfully waved goodbye to me (and I feel certain that there were under-the-breath "good riddance" mutterings and, in some cases, dancing on tables).

So - bottom line time:

IMEIs can be blacklisted in error

O2 cannot be trusted to give-a-damn if they didn't supply your handset
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fragargon:
Glad your are finally sorted this :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cowwoc:
iviarck,

How did you discover that your IMEI was blacklisted? I am based out of Canada and as far as I know there is no real way to check this short of asking the service provider (which is clueless).

Thanks,

Gili
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iviarck:
Sorry to take so long to reply. I am now 2 phones on from the trusty old Bravo and memory of the incident has faded to anecdote level.

When I was unable to get a network signal and any attempt to connect to my provider was rejected with a "Not allowed to connect to this network", I called my provider and I think it took me about 3 days of persistent calling and endless repetition of the details of the tale of woe to an equally endless stream of never-the-same-support-service persons and no system notes facility to carry details forward. As you quite rightly say, clueless. I was escalated to tier 3 network support before someone looked up the IMEI and found it to have been blocked by Vodafone.

Hi,

I'm using a Notion Ink ADAM and there is only a USB keyboard layout for QWERTY (USA), but I need a German layout.

I have tried to change the .kl file. It works for some keys, for example changing "Y" to "Z", but the special Germany character like Ö Ü Ä and so on I'm not able to add them.

Does any one knows how I can create a special USB keyboard layout for german characters ?

Can someone tell me of if i can install honeycom and where can i get it Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dmayrhofer:
Unfortunately honeycomb is an os which is made for tablets only, so it's hard to get it ported to an "normal" smartphone. But some of the developers have actually made it to get android 3.0 running on the HTC Desire.

I also wanted to have the honeycomb style on my phone so I downloaded a theme. ;)

There are two ways to get this working:

1. You can install a launcher like ADW launcher and then search for a honeycomb theme.

2. Or you flash a themed custom rom like simply honey which also looks like honeycomb.

But the seconed way is far more risky so read everything three times before doing this! Because if you make an mistake you can brick your phone.

If you want I can post the links to the threads. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] maniaco312:
Ok can u post da links thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dmayrhofer:
For the first solution just search for ADW launcher and the theme in the market ^^

Here is the link to a custom rom for the SGS: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1020720

But this is a rom which is especially made for the SGS so I don´t know if this would work with your phone!!

Please ask the dev if this would work!

Unfortunatelly I don´t know if there is a custom rom for your phone which is especially made for it...

I think that it would be better to download the ADW launcher witch the honeycomb theme :)

Hi,

Because I can't post under the development section (under 10 posts :) ) I'm trying to get an answer right here.

I'm currently running Ginger Villain 2.0 on the latest radio.

Problem I'm having is that everything runs very smooth, but only when the phone come's out of standby, I can't reconnect to my Data provider.

Wifi is no issue.

A quick fix is to disable 2G/3G en re-enable it. After that I can reconnect to Data.

A friend is running the same rom, and doesn't have the problem? He's using the same radio as I am btw.

Any1 an idea what can fix this?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stovemeister:
Hi all,

I've done a search on this (both XDA-wide, and Google) and no-one seems to have a valid answer for me yet.

I am running Gingerbread (PDA = XWJVB, Phone = XXJVK, CSC = XAJVK) via a Doc's beta RomKitchen build. I am aware that I am running a beta and things can get a bit hairy, but this problem is really annoying.

Basically after the rom flash, I went and got Titanium Backup working again, and started restoring my favourite apps and widgets. All worked fine, then I had to do a reboot for some reason. All the restored apps are still in the apps folder , but greyed out and with an SD-card image overlaid to tell me they are on the SDCard. They ALL no longer work but give the "application is not installed on your phone" error, which is annoying, because before the reboot, they all worked.

I have tried twice to restore them from Titanium backup, and each time they only work until the next reboot breaks them, meaning the only apps I get to keep are the system apps and the ones I cooked into the Rom.

Anyone have any ideas?:confused:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] podumal:
Hi, I had a similar problem, with one difference: it started after a while. I had Doc's JVK installed, I restored my apps with Titanium Backup and it worked flawlessly for a while. At some point I noticed that the apps installed recently would disappear after a reboot. The worst thing is that even the market disappeared at some point.

To solve the problem, I flashed several times a WIPE version of Doc's rom along with several wipes from recovery. It didn't work right away and it took me several reflashes.

No problems since then.

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stovemeister:

After much reading, I reckoned it was probably the Fugu kernel doing most of the damage, so I flashed a Chainfire XWJVB kernel, then a recooked Doc rom without the Fugu kernel. Lubberly Jubberly now :)
