in my opinion it is the same as in the case of samsung galaxy s3
a colleague was playing with softami or the modem driver trying to improve the coverage in the phone.
You can't go back too much of the software version, especially the modem driver, because later the new "Not registered in the network" problem occurs.
In my case, in sgs3 it was enough to install a warped modem.
(why did I get the message "Not registered in the network"? For the fact that I had a newer modem and I wanted to improve the range at the expense of the battery - I read the stupidity from the net that the DLID1 modem is great that it does not tear the net and hsdpa has so many dashes that no one is there He did not write that you should have an older modem in the phone than DLID1 and I had a newer one and I uploaded an older one and the problem that the phone became like a tablet without GSM. After uploading the stored modem, the problem disappeared as the hand went away ... sure to go on sites only move your head ...
If someone found this post with the same problem with the galaxy S3 phone, he gives a link
http://forum.android.com.pl/f28/problemy-podc...4-1-2-i-4-2-2-nie-zarearzenia-w-sieci-333406/ if you have andka 4.1.2 then install only from point 2.
In galaxy Y I would be looking for a similar solution.
