[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icejagans:
I had a similar problem where if I was in an area with bad reception it would default to emergency calls only. But the funny thing is when I go into the menu settings I can see my carrier and when I try to select it, it says network unreachable. Eventually I would get signal but the tab still says emergency calls only. Tried making calls but it wouldn't allow.

Initially to rectify the problem I rebooted the phone and that worked but got annoying. So I realised that if I left it for a couple of mins whenn it had reception it would fix itself. As of recently (last 2 months) I haven't any problems.

Btw i'm on jpm and my carrier is 3 australia. It's rubbish service

Hello,

Same thing happening to me... It must have something related to signal strength, i went downtown and phone was perfectly fine.

But at home it keeps loosing signal, i dialed *#*#0011#*#* and it shows changing BAND... as if it was searching for service on different bands...

But the thing is, i tried inserting the SIM on other 2 phones and i get a FULL signal, so i guess signal is coming pretty intense here... why is the SGS loosing it? i have no idea...

By the way, i am from Brazil, and that started happening after i flashed my rom to FROYO VJJPA..

Same is happening to me. Serive state says out of service so could registering the sim card to phone be the actual isuue?

Well..

The phone works when i am in other areas of the city.. it just looses signal at home..

So i guess it registers...

Same here

Having the same problem. After updating to Froyo (official) my phone gets stuck in "emergency calls only" when I loose connection to my network. As for all the others it registers again after reboot. I'm on 3 denmark.

Just refalshed to JPU via Odin but the problem persists. Are going to try and downgrade to 2.1 again to see if there is something different between Eclaire and Froyo
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sotat:
Problem solved?

I played around with putting my phone to "only GSM" and it directly went in to "emergency calls only" and I had to reboot. I'm on 3 network in Sweden and when googling it shows that they don't provide any GSM network anymore. (They've never built one but bought the service from another provider until last year) I noticed that many of the posts has been from 3 customers in different countires so maybe it's the same in your countries.

Solution: Select "only WCDMA" under networks settings instead of default "automatic"

I belive this option wasn't available in 2.1 and that's why it apears after upgrading to 2.2
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icejagans:
I have noticed that when it goes into emergency mode, the phone loses its imei and phone number is unkwown. I was checking the settings and it went into that mode and was about to screen capture but it cycled out and found reception again.

Sounds like a bug in 3's Froyo update.

I have exactly the same problem and I am on 3 in Sydney with their Froyo update.

While my phone fixes itself after a reboot, since you don't know when this problem occurs, it's very annoying as I keep getting people telling me my phone's off.

Anyone know if it's possible to downgrade back to 2.1?

Otherwise, is there a fix for this?

Try flight mode

I have this issue too, on the 3 network in Australia. It seems to happen when I am in areas of poor coverage - like a high rise where I work some times.

Rather than rebooting, try going into into Flight Mode for a minute then back to normal mode. This seems to work at times and saves the full reboot.

same problem Emergency calls only oftenly happens

Hi there . I lives in Indonesia. My carrier is Telkomsel

My phone SGS GT-I9000 International.

I had same problem that you guys here had.

For a phone like SGS that is high end device comes with a lot of feature, it sucks dude. it suppose to have some function to search, change, register network automatically right??!!. like every single phone usually do. but why this is happens on SGS. is this kind of bug or something? are there any permanent solution to fix this?

my phone oftenly go to emergency calls only mode. i dunno why it is happens. is it carrier? i dont think so. cuz my friend with same carrier and different phone doesnt have this problem. on one single night on my phone it can happens 3 until 5 times. and it is only solved when iam restarting my phone. so i had to restart my phone again and again when this is happens.

anybody have a solution here? help me please.

Thanks. and sorry for my bad english.

Changed SIM card solved the problem to me!

Hi,

I'm getting the same problem here with Vivo network (cell phone provider in Brazil) and tried my SGS with a SIM card from other operator (TIM Brasil) and to my surprise my SGS stops to losing connection and dropping to "emergency calls only" mode during the test (about seven days). Since my wife is client of the same operator, we frequently checked signal strenght and network status during this test period and there's no noticeable difference between my SGS and hers Galaxy 5.

The original SIM card used on SGS was 3 years old and I'm using it since I bought a Samsung Omnia. Since the behaviour of the SGS when connection is lost resembles a phone turned on without a SIM card, I decided to give a try and bought a new SIM card from Vivo and transfer my settings to new SIM. The results? I'm using the SGS on Vivo network without a glitch. No more connection lost or "emergency call only" messages.

Hope it helps someone out there.

Best regards!

Hey Andre,

Thanks for the info, i'm using TIM chip and works fine... Claro is an old chip and doesn't work... I'll replace it later and test it...

Only problem that persists is 3G, i have no 3G at all, tried changing APN, CDMA only or GSM only but the icon on top only shows E or G for edge and gprs connections...

I'm having this 'emergency calls only' issue too on O2-UK, however, I tried calling 999 (emergency) but it wouldn't dial.

I have tried WCDMA only but that totally kills my signal. On auto mode I get a signal but can't connect.

In settings > about phone > I can see I am connected to the network but it is out of service.

I went to the o2 store and they tested the sim and it works. However the o2-guru said he can't send my phone in with a custom rom so i need to flash back to stock - only i can't!

Odin gets stuck at SetupConnection.

I was on insanity 8.1 (gingerbread) and I'm now on darky 10 rc5 as I was able to flash through cwm3...

So, I can't connect to my network and I can't flash back to stock with odin so I can't get my handset sent in to o2

Any ideas pleasE?

Flash stock rom Eclair via Odin with Pit 512 and repartition checked . Then upgrade to Froyo .

Phone cannot access network if it has wrong settings usually due to flashing firmware for another country .

Custom roms break warranty .

Have you checked to make sure KIES is closed > even in the icon tray.

and if so try another USB port, one that goes direct into the motherboard.

hey guys , ive got a similar problem that just started occuring last night 2 weeks after ive arrived back in the Uk.

I brought a SGS from ebay 5months ago, unlocked it with the paid app sgs unlock version 1.0 , 2 weeks ago ive came back to the uk for a holiday ( normally im in asia ) and popped in a o2 sim card which worked fine.

Last night i took it out cas it said emergency calls only and i tried it in my nexus which found o2 network fine, then i tried a Orange sim card inside my SGS and same thing emergency calls only.

Its been rooted since i had it and running tweaky rom 3.1 fine till now, it also displays full signal and has a good IMEI number, but always emergency calls only , on 2 sim cards ive tried in the uk

can anyone give any suggestions to what i could try? Run the sgs unlock app again?

Thanks:confused:

EDIT : lol seems that the orange sim card was canceled because i didnt register it, the o2 sim is working in both phones now again, maybe they had tech issues last night :-)

I've had my Captivate about six weeks now. This morning the door on the USB port wouldn't slide open, so I looked at the bezel, and a small piece had chipped out right behind the port. I carefully removed the chipped out piece, and the USB door opens fine now.

I called both AT&T and Samsung, AT&T wants $465.00 for a new phone, and Samsung wants me to send the phone in.

I know I've seen a thread that has a fix for this somewhere, but I don't know where it is. Yes, I'm aware of the search function. (Could someone link me to the thread?) But anyway, what exactly is it? It was using up 30% of my memory, causing my phone to lag horribly. So, I deleted it to see if it was *too* much of an important file or not. My phone works fine now, no lags, nothing. But when using the Froyo version YouTube app, my phone no longer rotates like before I removed it. It rotated in the app even when screen rotation was off.
