When I have data turned off on the phone, at the top of the notification area it says "Emergency calls only". I don't have any problem making calls so I don't understand why it says this.

I don't know what to do. I tried to make a call this morning and it kept disconnecting, even though it was showing signal. So I decided to turn it off. This took over 15mins. Finally it went off. I switched it back on to find it will only make Emergency calls and I don't know why.
I've turned it off multiple times now, even taken the battery out etc and nothing works. Its been very slow the last couple of days, and frozen a couple of times. I've only had the phone 3 weeks from new (T-Mobile!)
Let's start from first: I bought a t-mobile desire from someone. when I got it, it was rooted and an official htc middle east rom flashed on it (...and unrooted).Both seller and me have a local sim card (Not t-mobile) but it worked for him and not for me.It displays a "Limited Service", "Emergency Calls Only" message. when I search for operators it list my operator but when I choose that android can't register on it.
1. I rooted it again and flashed LeeDroid rom on it but no success
2. Seller did a hard reset before giving it to me (I guess it generated the problem)
3. Sim card is correct
4. Seller is not scam!
I update my samsung galaxy s3 from 4.0.4 ICS to 4.3 JB using Odin3 and it is successful. after it restarted i saw emergency calls only, btw im from philippines. my sim card works fine i inserted it on my other phone. My samsung galaxy s3 have same imei as i check on the back of my phone,as i dial *#06# and as i check to about device.

Therefore you can press end call quickly on the screen.Reason I ask is that I had a Touch Diamond with a power on off button at the top and having to press that and then press end call on the screen was a real pain.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been having signal troubles with my Hero since I had it 3 months ago. Ive been reading on here and just put it down to the antenna being in the 'chin' and the radio version Orange UK have supplied with their firmware being buggy. Over the past two days I have noticed that upon picking the phone up, it displays 'Emergency calls only' and will not pick up signal until rebooted. It has now done this twice. I have checked the sim card and all seems fine but i have noticed there are more gold 'prongs' on the phone that there are on the sim card. If I look carefully, the last prong on each row sits on a plastic bit of the sim card. Is this right?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am posting this in hope that the Android developers take notice of an extremely frustrating problem I experienced today and that the problem is fixed with the next operating system update.Earlier today, I was in a car accident. I picked up my phone to call the police and decided to use the Emergency Mode because entering my password was just too much, given the mental state I was in. Well, I placed the call to the police, hung up, and then wanted to phone a friend of mine to come meet me because I was so distraught. I attempted to make the phone call using contact info stored on my phone. The phone wouldnt let me place the call, alerting me to the fact that the phone was in "Emergency Mode". So, I proceeded to push the button on the top of my phone, which shuts the screen off. Then, I pushed it again to turn the screen back on. I was given the option to either enter my password or, again, use Emergency Mode. This time, I entered my password, unlocking the phone. But, much to my dismay, I was still not able to place the call to my friend. The phone continued to indicate that it was in "Emergency Mode". I repeated this several times, each time re-entering my password, to no avail. The only way I was able to place the call was to pull the battery on the HTC EVO. This was quite frustrating, considering the state I was in just after the accident.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI hope you can help me out by chiming in on this. I've been using my phone a bit, and it looks like my battery goes down by about 10-12% for every 15 minutes I'm on a call. Is this normal? It seems like my battery isn't lasting anywhere near as long as it should. Extrapolating those figures out, you'd be looking at 150 minutes (2h 30m) of call time per charge - way below the quoted time (7h on 3G). Additionally, I seem to be able to lose about 10% of my battery just browsing the web for 10 minutes over 3G. I have GPS off, but WiFi and sync on.Are you all getting significantly better than this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedThis just started.. I have NO idea what it is. Whenever I'm on a call these days, about every 5-8 seconds, I have a 2 tone sound being played over and over "beep beep" every 5-8 seconds.
I dont have any pending voicemail that I know of.. I use YouMail for voicemail. I dont remember turning anything on that should be causing this.. anyone got ANY idea what could be causing this?
I rooted my phone successfully last night and installed MoDaCo.
Everything worked OK. Today I tried Cyanogen and it seemed to work OK. I've tried to install a couple of themes. One worked and one didn't.
I don't know when, but my phone will now not send or receive texts or calls. I still have a 3G data connection (back to MoDaCo) and the internet and Market work fine.
I really don't know what to do. The recovery image "recovery-ra-nexus..." seems to have disappeared from the bootloader. The phone isn't bricked so I guess that there is a way out of this?
SO I've restored my first Nand Backup which is the recovery image ra-nexus-v1.7.0.
It quoted restore complete. I backed up and rebooted. Weird thing is it boots up into Cyanogen ROM!!! And now I have no service, NOTHING!
Does anyone else have this problem? I get an incoming call, slide to answer say "hello", no response. After about 5 seconds, I finally hear the person on the other end. It is like the call is not connected immediately.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have no clue what just happened but my phone is acting like it did before the Froyo update. Dropping calls halfway through while still showing full bars. Ive dropped out 5 times today and 3 times yesterday.
The phone has been working flawlessly for the past few months and now its become horrible. I cant see how downloding a couple apps have done anything to warrant this. If anything, the apps are games and a few other apps being updated.
Now Im on AT&T and I dont want this to turn into an "its your network" thing, because it isnt. My buddy on verizon with his incredible said hes also been experiencing dropped calls in the last two days (the known too well "beep") and he said hes been fine before this.
When my phone is on the dock and I receive an incoming call there is no sound, either through the stereo speakers or from the phone. The only notification there's an incoming call is the trackball lighting up. Obviously this could lead to missed calls. Is there a setting i'm missing so that I can actually get an audio notification of incoming calls when on the dock?

Inbound calls are fine and when I initiate calls to phone #'s through Google Voice on my computer it comes through on my N1 where I can pick up fine and I can hear it. Complete opposite though when making outbound calls - no sound/hangup at 22 seconds.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo the phone was working fine for a few days. All calls were clear, however today when I got home and made a call the call was not clear and had a background noise that sounds like a shower or white nose. All subsequent calls I make have this background noise and I tried rebooting the phone, putting my sim card in another phone (call was clear on other phone), and tried factory resetting the nexus. The noise still persists.
I was wondering if anyone else experienced this problem and what you would suggest I do.

Is there anything that would inhibit a regular day to day usage and what are the differences to the regular retail version of the Phone?

View 7 Replies View RelatedMy wife brought up a good point the other day. In case of emergency, my phone couldn't be used to identify myself, or be used to contact her. This seems to be a major oversight on Googles part. When locked, all you can do is dial a number from the emergency screen. There is no option to call someone listed as an emergency contact. Leaving my phone unlocked is not an option.

Im wondering if I'm the only one or am is it just my phone? I've noticed that this phone can be a bit buggy at times! Note: I have not had the update done on this phone. The only big recent app that I've installed is handcent.
