Guys I had the same problem with the k599 Sciphone and none of the solutions found on the internet helped me. New chinese models tend to restart after testing is over and this results in turning the wifi application on. So I spent many hours on thinking how to bypass this function and this morning I woke up with an idea that really worked!! The steps are quite similar with the ones followed to debug older models:

put 2 chips on cell
Disable WLAN.
1-enter in factory mode *#3646633#
2-go to RF Test Tool
3-choose GSM, confirm OK!
4-go to Power scan
5-Select Band DCS1800 click OK
6-the cell frozen
7-wait for 3 minutes testing
8-while testing connect to a pc using the USB cable (do NOT select ANY of the options appearing on the cell screen)
9-Click the CENTER button of the cell until you go back to principal menu
10-go to settings/network settings and choose GSM Preferred or any other option (except WLAN only!!)

In this way the cell does not reboot, and the wifi application stays off, so the option can now be changed...

Hope this helps!

Try to see if your F003 Settings > Network Setup > SIM1 network setup > Preferred mode

If it is in WLAN only try changing to GSM preferred, if appears a message "Unfinished" see if you SIM card is 64kb and try putting a 128kb SIM card and changing the Network Setup to GSM preferred, then turn off and on, and reset your configurations to factory mode.

Settings > Restore factory settings

The code is 1122.

Hope that this help you.

Perhaps you can try entering "Engineer Mode"

Dial: *#3646633#

Then modify some settings, see what happens.

i had same problem and entered under 'settings' right at end of menu list is 'restore factory settings' - enter password no. 1122 , worked for me. Can dial out now, and dont choose anything in future 'only' for modes on network.

i can't "enter in factory mode *#3646633#"
there is only touch screen and when i dial "*#3646633#"" i get "not allowed to dial".
Any ideas?

    • Try to use different service code: *#82043036#
      (*#3646633#" is NOT the right one for your mobile)

    • Dear Bob0009,



      I have checked by phone to our GSM operator to confirm about our SIM card. I am using 128 kb SIM card.

      You are right Bob, I can not re seting to another type of connection. Only for WLAN. It can not be set to GSM or GSM preferred. Message " Unfinished " appear if I try to change.

      Is this meant this equipment can not be used. Is reset by remove BIOS battery can help to solve this problem?

      I buy this phone 2 week ago, when I went to Zhuhai - China.

      Thank you all.



      Best Regards,

      Arif.





i have the same problem, mine is a titan gsm phone mb0014. i didn´t know i shouldn´t put wlan only and now i´m dealing with this situation. none of the codes i´ve found on internet until now have worked for me. please help!!

my china mobile is the t737b and had the same problem. restore factory settings and pulled out the battery before it finished and returned

Did anyone figure out the "not allowed to dial" or the stuck on "WLAN only" issue? Any one have a solution?

    • I am unable to change connection Network Setup > SIM1 network setup > Preferred mode

      I am stuck in "WLAN only". When I select "GSM" or "GSM preferred". The phone states "mode switching" and then "unfinished".

      I also have the "Not allowed to dial". My phone was working well until i selected "WLAN only".

      Anyone know how to fix?

    • I found a system developer that commented they "solved the problem of WLAN only" and no outgoing calls. I am trying to find out more. I tried going back to factory settings, going into engineering mode and no solution. I WOULD AVOID "WIFI ONLY" MODE if you have a new phone.
