Emergency call only - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The phone was working pretty fine 30 min ago when i flashed Darky's 8.0 ROM , when I took it out to make a phone call and it says just "Emergency call only" instead of showing my phone operator (BSNL 3G). I tried rebooting, no luck! Still the same. I replaced the sim with operator (TATA DOCOMO) i got same thing Emergency call only".
Now the Strange thing is that it has signal (full) but I can't make/receive calls . If I go under Settings -> Wifi -> Mobile networks settings and I look for operators it searches and I can see all of them (mine included) but I cannot select it!! Neither mine nor another one ...it just says "Unable to connect. Try later".
Weirdest thing of all is that I AM RECEIVING PUSH EMAILS from gmail!!!
I can browse internet and market. Twitter application is working.
Anyone has a clue about this??? Has it ever happened to anyone?
I have reflashed again with Darky's Rom 8.0 and the Stock ROM but still Emergency call only".
Hope I don't have to reflash some other ROM...

what is your modem? Darky's one?

Sounds like your phone is IMEI locked!? Did you buy a used one? May be stolen.

I bought the new one. The problem started after installing voodoo lagfix my IMEI number was gone. I deleted some of the files in /efs folder , installed Darky's 8.0 ROM every thing worked for a while & again there was not data connection.
When i delete the files in /efs folder i can see the Operator Name for some time..

So you did messed up with your EFS? (Which is i think horrible thing to do when not have a backup of EFS)

try to install the modem file from your latest "official" rom (look into samsfirmware.com)

is your imei the same or changed
the only instances ive seen when you cant call or message but can get data is when the imei is blocked

Hmm, it is more to the network than calling and texting
yes it can if you has the network setting
you have to manually type the apn settings
I just can't text and call.
format your sd card or just delete the data.img
then download the may2 version from here http://www.xperia.0fees.net/index.php?p=1_2_Downloads
extract all the files to root of card
replace all
then hit the haret
it will surely work for you
I did it the same. but i wil try remove data.img for once more.

I need more help as possible. I did as sanjay said. but failed.
did you search for the network operators in linux?
if it doesnt txt then you must not be connected to any service operator,
cause usually when you start up it will connect to the operator and download its settings, if you use mms then you may need to add the number or address.
what about using 2g networks?, flight mode ?.
connecting to a service for txting and calling works under windows ?, what rom are you using ?
it should just work straight out of the box with a generic xperia.
i was fiddling with the operators under linux, it stalled wouldnt load again so i deleted the data.img and now back to normal, then i turned it off changed simcard to 2degres and both on the first boot
i dont know what else to tell you, you may need to ask the network provider i didnt find much information on Maxis Malaysia website.
Can you even see a signal strength in the notification bar at the top? or is it showing as disconnected?
Its not the APN settings, because they are only for data connections, and have nothing to do with calls & txt.
The problem may be that android cant read the network settings from the SIM you have? Maybe go to your carrier and ask for a new SIM? (one compatible with android)
Does your carrier sell any android phones?

Galaxy S not making or receiving calls or txt’s using XXJVT/XXJVS Rom HELP!

Hi all, I have been using the Stock Extra from the here for a number of weeks now with no issues. Until yesterday when my galaxy s stopped making or receiving calls or text messages, I get an error message saying text not sent & when I try to dial out it goes straight to call ended. I have tried a restore which didn’t help and I have even went back to XXJVS Rom 2.3.5 but still no calls or texts ! I rang Virgin mobile yesterday and they did all the usual checks and they said it must be a setting on the phone causing the problem as they cant see anything being blocked or barred. When I use my card in another phone it works fine ! My wife’s sim card wont work in my phone either so it has to be the phone ! Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this problem? I am Desperate now I have only had the phone 3 months!
These are my settings now on XXJVSModel No

Did you try a reflash with Odin? Never seen this problem before.
Hi Paulforde, Yeah tried re-flashing with Odin but no change
Cheers
Try a different modem firmware...
I had several issues with several different ROMs but in most cases anything to do with calls, data, wifi, GPS, or BT were solved by flashing a different modem... I didn't notice which country or carrier you're using but I'm in Canada using Rogers and the best modem I've found for signal strength, and keeping all of the other radio related functions working has been UGKC1 This is dependant on where you are and who your carrier is though.
You can find most of the Froyo and Gingerbread modems here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876391
Hope this helps,

I have this exact problem with a Galaxy S I just got back from a RMA - the antenna was dodgy or something and it would get poor signal everywhere. Now signal is fine but it won't make texts/calls, again not the SIM.
Does your mobile internet work? Mine does which is weird..
Have you also checked your APN settings??

HOW TO Enable Voice Call Functions in 4.3 ROMs for Tab10.1/P7500/P4

Hi all,
This post is for those who are interested in using their tab 10.1 P7500 or P4 with voice call functions using 4.3 ROMS as a back up device in case normal phone bricks....
I was able to test two 4.3 based ROMs namely PAC Infamous by kasper_h (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2411081) and CM 10.2 SGT7 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2098429) by twa_priv. Both worked and can be used with enabled voice functions. Other 4.3 ROMS found in the Android dev thread can also be used.
Here are some tips, perhaps useful to some, after installing your preferred 4.3 based rom above-mentioned.
1. Make sure that the right modem i9103XXLQ3 is flashed through CWM. You can get it herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875024.
2. Make sure that tab SIM card is enabled for phone calls by your provider. You can be sure that your phone SIM card is, when you transfer it to your tab. But if you only have an internet enabled SIM card by your provider, this guide won't work, no matter what.
3. After putting your SIM card in your device, open the settings, CLICK on "MORE", CLICK on MOBILE NETWORKS then CLICK on ACCESS POINT NAMES (APN).
4. CLICK on the PLUS (+) sign found on the upper right hand corner then manually put correctly the corresponding APN configuration of your SIM for both Internet and MMS (these APN settings vary depending on your provider and country so one must look that up, if the APN settings are not configured automatically. If you are using your phone SIM card, the APN settings can be found in the same settings area of your phone: see n. 2 above).
5. Once you set the APN configuration, CLICK on the THREE DOTS found on the upper right hand corner and then CLICK on SAVE. If you can't find the THREE DOTS sign, GO to SETTINGS, CLICK on BUTTONS and then in MENU BUTTONS, CHECK SHOW ACTION OVERFLOW which enables the display of the three dots..
6. It may also be necessary to reboot your device for the APN settings to be activated after configuration.
7. After that, click on NETWORK OPERATORS. When you choose your network in the settings, it may give an "error in searching networks message". Click then on the automatic search of network.Once it gives the message "Registered in your network", then the tab is ready for voice receive and call functions.
8. As mentioned by John Kester, the tab's SPEAKERS ARE OFF BY DEFAULT (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2452869) so you have to CLICK ON THE SPEAKER ICON everytime you receive or make a call.
Thanks to kasper_h, twa_priv and to john kester (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2445431) for the help.
Enjoy and all the best!

Hi haythmams. For phone calls on cm 10.1 roms (Android 4.2.2) which you have just flashed on your tab10.1, please see threadhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2231110
The post I have made applies to cm 10.2 roms based on Android 4.3. You might want to install them instead of the cm 10.1 based rom.
Either way, make sure that you have the correct APN configurations.
Hope this helps.
Already follow all your steps, but still can't call any number.
Just a beep and it says "call ended"
Maybe i missed something?
But, now i can call USSD number for my prepaid card info :victory:

I also experienced the "beep and call ended" phenomenon the first time I tried it but after RESTARTING the device and making sure that the APN configurations are SAVED, it worked for me (for both SGT7 and Infamous PAC 4.3 ROMS.
Make sure that in NETWORK OPERATORS configuration, the message "REGISTERED ON NETWORK" appeared.
Good luck.
Modem firmware i9103XXLQ3
I'm almost sure you need to flash the modem (Baseband version) i9103XXLQ3 to be able to make/receive voice calls with our P4...
BTW, why to configure the APN settings??? That's only to get data connection.
As far as I know, you just need that modem version and a voice-enabled SIM card.

Thanks Lucas. Most probably this is the solution which I overlooked and took for granted while writing the post. I remember installing this firmware after putting the APN configuration but I had no clue that this was the remedy...Noob inadvertence on my part
Anyway, will update my post. Thanks.

SMS and MMS don't send.

Hello, how are you? I rooted the Note 8 with the SamFailV2.5 files from [ROOT][SNAPDRAGON] SamFAIL for Galaxy Note8[V2]. The phone was a brand new out of the box unlocked SM-N950U1 and I inserted a Verizon network sim card to use the phone on my family plan. I'm able to make and receive phone calls, and receive text messages, but not send SMS or MMS.
I've tried to enter " *#5005*7672# " in the keypad, I've tried " *#*#4636#*#* " as well; one of them tells me "connection problem or invalid MMI code," and the other tries to call that number and I get an automated failed call message. I've been unable to successfully make a new APN. I can "create" a new one, but I'm unable to find it on the list after I "save" it. I tried to switch to 3g only and that made everything worse, I was unable to make or recieve calls or texts on 3g. When I switched back to 4g,3g,2g,auto I had the same problem and had to reset the network connections to be able to make and receive calls and receive text--but still not able to send texts.
I'm not sure what the issue really is, what are your thoughts? One thing that I want to try is to edit the message center number to 316540951000 for verizon, but I don't know how. Is there a console command I can enter to change it? Am I heading in the wrong direction? Please help!
I followed the root directions on post #3 it said:
" VZW Custom CSCFeatures thanks to @louforgiveno
ATT,SPR,TMO re-enabled callerID and spam protect.
DO NOT FLASH CSC IF YOU WANT CUSTOM FEATURES! "
So I didn't flash a Verizon csc. How do I determine which csc to use, or is that not what I need? When I ran Odin PrinceComsy.exe and tried to select the csc I saw the log say it failed and that it was the for wrong model. The other thing I'm confused about is if I need to re-root the phone with nand erase all, or if I can just flash the csc by itself. How do I access the custom features from the root directions: "VZW Custom CSCFeatures" and "DO NOT FLASH CSC IF YOU WANT CUSTOM FEATURES"? Would that have the solution to the problem?
I've gotten a new sim card and rerooted the phone since I posted the question. Calls work fine, 16Mbs download with 7Mbs upload for data, but texts are still a problem. I tried different apps. With the Verizon messaging app I'm able to send mms and sms, but the outgoing texts are delivered 5 to 6 minutes after the send button is pressed. Incoming texts are received in seconds. I can't understand why the Verizon messaging app actually gets messages to go out when default and top rated messenger apps can't, nor why it takes 5 minutes for outgoing texts to be delivered. I'm happy about this progress, but its not completely fixed.
Advanced Signal Status app will not display the advanced menu.
I would like to share that choosing option 2 after dialing *228 will make connection problems worse, it's the reason I had to get a new sim card. After the *228 changes it was impossible to connect to lte networks, calls and texts stopped working aswell. Tier 2 of Verizon tech support told me a new sim card was the only way to restore connectivity.
What information can I provide to help find a solution? Where should I ask for help about this?

Unknown Caller when using LTE

Hey!
I am using Havoc OS since I've bought this phone. But it does not matter what OS I am using, problem is still there.
When I am using LTE, every incomming call is shown as Unknown Caller. I've tried different SIM cards, I went to my service provider, they don't know anything, and never seen issue like this. Once I switch back to HSDPA or even EDGE, I can see incomming calls fine.
I've tried clean flash. I went back to stock and nothing has changed. I flashed stock with MiFlash, still same issue.
I am running out of ideas. Please help me, any advice will be usefull!
