flex_operator_code

sophistikat · February 11th, 2012, 03:22 PM

Hello Friends, I am new here and new to the Android family.

I got an android device, I unlocked it but I can't stay connect to my network; I get the dreaded com.android.phone error message.

Looking at the system log, the only thing I see is that when the system checks the FLEX_OPERATOR_CODE it is defined as TLS, which I can only assume it means Telus; the network this phone originally was intended for.

I had hope that by unlocking my phone, this would change to something like OPEN or at least, this string is ignored so that I can connect to my network (Bell).

Am I reading my log correctly? is this parameter as important as I think it is?

By the way, I can actually connect to BELL but I get disconnected as soon as that error message pops up, which happens every 10 seconds.

It may help if you posted this into the phones forum. I'm not sure what to tell you as I don't even know what phone we are talking about and I am assuming bell is your service. I never heard of them I have sprint.

I have the LG-C555, attached to the bottom is the system log from the phone; A friend of mine is android developer who sent some notes the log.

I did speak to my network provider and the phones IMEI is supported on their network so I shouldn't have any issues if the phone is unlocked. It is also my understanding that if the phone was locked to a different provider, I would get such message; ensuring that the phone is unlocked.

Wow, yeah your phone is having major network issues. First of all, it tries to get APN settings, and fails in a spectacular enough manner it kills the system that runs your phone:

Code:

E/AndroidRuntime( 3822): 	at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method)
W/ActivityManager( 1396): Process com.android.phone has crashed too many times: killing!

Then it looks like it tries to clear out the SIM contacts in its memory:

Code:

W/ActivityManager( 1396): Process com.android.phone has crashed too many times: killing!
I/ContactsProvider( 1598): deleteInTransaction match >> 17001 Uri >> content://com.android.contacts/_account_delete_?account_name=sim&account_type=com.android.contacts.sim

I/ContactsProvider( 1598): deleteInTransaction match >> 2002 Uri >> content://com.android.contacts/raw_contacts
I/ContactsProvider( 1598):  deleteRawContact

...it tries to reset ADN and reinitialize the SIM...

Code:

I/ADN_CACHING_SERVICE( 1787): [] [resetADNInDB]Reset ADN in DB
I/SIMContactService( 1787): Intent action >>>  com.lge.simcontacts.action.ADN_CACHING
I/ADN_CACHING_SERVICE( 1787): [] [onStart] Receive the action <ADN CACHING START>
E/[SIMRecords]( 3822): [pjman] SimInitCompleted = 1
E/[SIMRecords]( 3822): [pjman] IsAdnCachingInProgress = 0
D/[SmsReceiverService]( 1873): CELL_INFO_SPN_STRINGS_UPDATED_ACTION is Received!!

Then plays "you can't touch this" with the WiFi's SSID...

Code:

E/wifi    ( 1396): [android_net_wifi_getRssiHelper] rssi -59
E/wifi    ( 1396): [android_net_wifi_getRssiHelper] rssi -56
E/wifi    ( 1396): [android_net_wifi_getRssiHelper] rssi -58

E/WifiInfo( 1396): getSSID CantTouchThis
E/WifiInfo( 1534): setSSID CantTouchThis

More ADN failure...

Code:

W/IccProvider( 1787): Cannot load ADN records
I/ActivityManager( 1396): Process com.android.phone (pid 3822) has died.
I/ADN_CACHING_SERVICE( 1787): [] [insertADNToDB] <<<<<END>>>>>
I/ADN_CACHING_SERVICE( 1787): [] [onQueryComplete] inserting ADN is completed.

So it tries to restarts the phone functionality. From the below messages, I would say it tries to make all the telephony, SMS and MMS content providers available to use.

Code:

I/ActivityManager( 1396): process name to start: com.android.phone
I/ActivityManager( 1396): Start proc com.android.phone for restart com.android.phone: pid=3863 uid=1001 gids={3002, 3001, 3003, 4002, 1015}

D/[BaseCommands]( 3863): setOnNewSMS(): mSMSRegistrant
D/[BaseCommands]( 3863): setOnNewGsmBroadcastSms): mGsmBroadcastSmsRegistrant

A little later down it starts complaining about not having info about the APN to actually run the functionality.

Code:

D/MobileDataStateTracker( 1396): hipri skipped as new= DISCONNECTED, old= DISCONNECTED, reason= gprsDetached, apnTypeList= default
D/MobileDataStateTracker( 1396): dun skipped because is not unavailable to apnTypeList(default

D/NotificationMgr( 3863): call log query complete.
D/NotificationMgr( 3863): closing call log cursor.

Oh this is interesting... no radio available?!?

Code:
