Hi People,I can't find if this is in the forums anywhere,so here goes. My wife has the Galaxy GT-I9000T which has been working ok on the Telecom network for a while,but a few days ago we had the battery indicator first saying battery empty then full then empty etc when on charge so decided to charge it overnight,found out later it was switching back on after being turned off each time,so next day pulled the battery for at least 3 hours. I am aware about the 850/2100 frequencies and we have both nearby.

When it was powered up we had no service,regardless of which Telecom sim card was in it,so next day had it defaulted,still no good,used samsung kies to do firmware upgrade now says it has the latest firmware,JV4 for phone /pda and JV3 for csc.

Also the phone is telling me number:unknown,network:unknown,signal stays at -111dB,network type:umts. The clock is still right,and get the Telecom logo on startup. One thing is, the above is the same when the sim is out...,does this mean the phone cannot see the sim?,and is there any way of checking the sim to see if the holder is faulty.

I have the set of codes to get into the handset but not sure which way to go. Is there any way of downloading/flashing the phone to get this going again?Could it need the modem re-flashing? The phone was a gift so we cant really afford another,would hate to just have to bin it.
