Samsung phone has no signal: how to fix it

If your Samsung phone cannot find a network, shows “No service” or keeps losing signal, the cause may be the area, the line, the settings or the phone’s hardware. The steps below follow Samsung’s recommended order; check the signal after each one.

Cep Market Repair TeamIn Kadıköy since 2006
Key points
  • First check whether other phones nearby have signal and whether your line is active.
  • Turn airplane mode on and off, restart the phone and reinsert the SIM card.
  • In Settings › Connections › Mobile networks › Network operators, turn on automatic selection.
  • General management › Reset › Reset mobile network settings; you may need to re-enter Wi-Fi passwords.
  • If dialling *#06# does not show your IMEI, the problem is most likely hardware.

01Is it the phone or the area?

First check whether another phone nearby, ideally on the same carrier, has signal. If everyone has weak signal, the problem is the carrier’s coverage or a temporary outage. Also make sure your line is active. An unpaid bill or a closed line also causes “No service”; your carrier can confirm this.

02Steps to fix no signal on a Samsung

  1. Turn airplane mode on and off. Switch it on from Quick settings, wait a few seconds and switch it off.
  2. Restart the phone. The network connection is set up again.
  3. Check the SIM card. Remove it, wipe it with a clean cloth and reinsert it so it sits fully. If possible, try it in another phone.
  4. Select the operator automatically. In Settings › Connections › Mobile networks › Network operators, turn on “Select automatically”.
  5. Update the software. Settings › Software update › Download and install.
  6. Reset mobile network settings. Settings › General management › Reset › Reset mobile network settings. This does not delete your data; on some models Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections are reset too.
  7. Reset the APN settings. If only mobile data fails, try Mobile networks › Access Point Names › Reset to default.

Menu names may differ slightly between One UI versions. Typing “network” into the settings search finds the right section.

03Signs of a hardware fault

If the steps above do not help, the problem may be inside the phone. Dial *#06#: if the IMEI does not appear, there is a fault in the part that handles the network (the baseband chip) or on the board.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

Is there a code for Samsung signal problems?

There is no official code that boosts signal. *#06# only shows the IMEI; if it does not appear, the problem is hardware.

02

Does resetting mobile network settings delete my data?

No. It does not touch your photos, apps or contacts; saved Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth pairings may be reset.

03

The SIM card works in another phone but not in my Samsung. Why?

The problem may be the phone’s SIM tray, antenna or baseband chip. Diagnosis finds the cause and is free.

04

The signal got weaker after I dropped the phone. What should I do?

The antenna cable or connection may have come loose. Bring the phone in without trying to open it.

Phone works but the screen is black: what to do

If your phone rings or vibrates but the screen is black, the phone is on; the problem is the screen or its connection. Force restart and charge it first. Shine a torch close to the screen in the dark: a faint picture means a backlight fault. If it started after a drop or liquid, the screen is usually replaced.
