[4.6.0.13] Xperia XA2 Dual sim, network denied after update

General
#1

Not sure what to make of this, have my usual sim card in the phone, updated to 4.6, the sim is not connecting at all. if I manually search for the networks I see them and I can select them, however it fails.

Sim works fine in another phone.
Carrier is Docomo.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve had this issue on my XA2 Plus - both before 4.6 and after it. Dual SIM support can be flakey on SFOS but there is usually a way of getting it working. I get mine working through trial and error, usually by doing one or more of the following:

  • Re-booting the phone
  • Swapping the SIMs over in their slots (and then rebooting the phone)
  • Disabling and re-enabling the SIMs (one, or the other, or both) in the settings app
  • Disabling and re-enabling mobile data in the settings (on one SIM, or the other SIM, or both) - although why mobile data settings should affect the ability for a SIM to connect to make non VoLTE phone calls I don’t know

I don’t know why this failure sometimes occurs - for me it just happens randomly and very occasionally. Luckily, and so, far, doing one or more of the above has always fixed things for me. I am in the UK, my two SIMs being ‘3’ and ‘EE’.

Thanks, I tried all of the above and nothing. Tried multiple times and rebooted more times than i can count lol. Just in case, even if the phone is dual sim I am in a single sim configuration. Before the update I always used slot 1 with slot 2 disabled.

So I dug a bit more via ssh.

This is what I found so far.
