slightee 5 Report post Posted March 23, 2014 Anyone using a Droid Mini over here? Got a Droid Mini. It`s running Android 4.4 It does not read my Vodafone Nano SIM. It reads the SIM initially. But, later it shifts to No Service, even though there are full signal bars. Able to get Data, but no calls or SMS. Anyone had similar problems? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vakharia 23 Report post Posted March 23, 2014 Same problem here with Idea and Vodafone. Verizon global support says the phone is SIM locked. I have to activate on Verizon network first. Then when they get the IMEI in their system, then they can enable it for global use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Manoj Patel 18 Report post Posted March 24, 2014 This is some new information... I thought Motorola and Verizon means fully unlocked for both gsm and cdma.. I have Droid mini using with reliance cdma, all are working except data... Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vakharia 23 Report post Posted March 24, 2014 So, one source tells me that the IMEI has to be cleared by Verizon. The Indian carriers detect the IMEI and disable the service since it has not been cleared by Verizon for international use. Now, I am not sure how true this is, but it does sound logical. XDA member Harsha was able to use Droid Mini with Reliance GSM for a few minutes - made and received calls and data worked as well, and then suddenly -> invalid SIM. How did that happen?

vakharia 23 Report post Posted March 24, 2014 ^^^^^ Ditto for me... But my DroidMAXX is working great... I don't know why??? If you have the means to change the IMEI of the non-working phone to be the same as the working phone (and then switch off the working phone), then you may try that. You might be surprised to see the local carrier allowing you to come on the network. Do you want to try that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vakharia 23 Report post Posted March 24, 2014 I am taking this up with Verizon and Motorola. I have already opened a case with Motorola. They keep saying that there is nothing to unlock and that the IMEI's are not on any negative list, so things should work fine. I would request all those who are facing issues to send me the IMEI over PM so that I can build a case around this. So far I know Harsha's phone is not working and KanagaDeepan's phone is also not working. This happens only in case of brand new device. If you are buying a used phone, then perhaps you will not run into this issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vakharia 23 Report post Posted March 25, 2014 I put in a cut Reliance OMH SIM into my Droid Maxx. I tried to dial out to *228 since the SIM is new and not activated. The phone throws out an error after that: sorry this sim card not recognized registered The signal is there and it shows both 1x and 3g. It also shows the signal belongs to Reliance. It does not matter if I change from global to LTE/CDMA mode. I still get the same network and the same message. Is this something wrong with the SIM (this time the SIM was not cut perfectly)?

::: VA ::: 531 Report post Posted March 26, 2014 As long as you get the error that SIM is from an unknown source it's not an issue. But if you get SIM not recognised kinds then make sure you have the latest gen omh, they are of series recruc 06 series. It being sold directly cut in micro from Reliance. Go to any decent shop to get it cut into nano. Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Today I went to the same store and asked them to put the SIM in their handset and tried. *228 did not work from there as well. So, they called someone to fix that. It seems something is stuck in the system and can take upto 48 hours to resolve. Also, these activation related issues are common it seems. There was also the point that since this SIM was not properly cut, it could be a SIM issue as well, but I have doubts about that. So, right now, I have left the SIM with the store and asked them to complete the process on my behalf. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another member with a similar problem on his Droid Ultra has confirmed that CDMA is working on this unit. Would be getting a CDMA OMH MicroSIM by this weekend. Will test and update.

vakharia 23 Report post Posted March 27, 2014 A member on another forum indicated that there was a similar problem with Razr M, which was unlocked by a person in Gaffar Market, in Delhi. If there is someone in Delhi facing this problem, then I can put you in touch with this member. You can then directly deal with them. Of course, this service will surely cost something. My device is in Pune, so it does not make sense to send it to Delhi for this, when we are not sure if the method will work for this latest Droid series.

This problem is quite different from the one that we are currently trying to fix. Don't you have another device where GSM itself does not work, or perhaps data works and voice does not?
