After updating my Nothing Phone (2a) to Nothing OS 4.1 (Pacman-B4.1-260813-0941-JPN), my LINEMO (SoftBank Japan) SIM suddenly showed “Emergency calls only”.
😭😭😭
Before the update, the SIM had been working normally.
I tried rebooting the phone, turning airplane mode on and off, reinserting the SIM, trying both SIM slots, manually selecting the SoftBank network, and resetting the mobile network settings, but none of these fixed the issue.
I also tested the same LINEMO SIM in another phone, and it connected to the SoftBank network normally, so the SIM itself was working.
Finally, I manually created a new APN using LINEMO’s current APN settings and selected it. After doing that, the mobile network started working normally again.
The APN that had previously been working on my Phone (2a) was:
plus.acs.jp
The current LINEMO APN I created is:
plus.acs.jp.v6
I can’t confirm whether the Nothing OS update itself caused the issue, but the timing was immediately after the update.
If anyone else using LINEMO / SoftBank Japan gets “Emergency calls only” after this update, I recommend checking or recreating the APN before trying a factory reset.
I’ve also submitted feedback through Settings > System > Feedback.
