Sim Issues - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well I recently updated my radio to 5.11.05.04 and it was working well for a few hours till all of a sudden it wouldn't receive a signal and I can't connect to my Provider, So I flashed 5.08.00.04 and still nothing.
I tried the SIM in my Old G1 and it works perfectly fine
Has anyone else come to this issue?
Oh also if it's of any relevance it's a locked phone
Would it be a good idea to go back to stock and seeing it the problem persists?
Thanks

missed calls & sms ... suddenly!!!

hi,
from time to time I experience the folowing:
Suddenly, soemone call me to other phone becuase he's trying to contact me. I see my artemis and it's OK, switched on and signal bars at 90%. I dont know why when someone try to call me appears like the phone is switched off.
I make a soft reset and strat to receive missed calls + sms's.
I have Vanilla 4.02 ROM and I use very often the wifi connection....
br.
im with you there, this is the reason why i went back to my aging nokia 6280. ive tried about 10 different roms and it would never pick up the signal unless rebooted. what happens with mine and a few of my friends was on london underground you would lose the signal obviously underground, when you came out the phone would pick up the signal but never recieve a call or sms. also the gprs wouldnt connect unless it was rebooted. ive had a few htcs in the past but because of this poor show i wont ever purchase another one.
my phone done this from day one of ownership, tmobile told me that firmware upgrades would fix this annoying problem, but it never did.
maybe you should try updating your radio ROMs
flashing different ROMs wont help
done half a dozen of them as well on my phone.

Even, I had the same problem, but since I moved to Radio version 3.21.XX, everything is just fine, no problems since then. Even 3.24.XX is out now, you should definitely give it a try. Hope it works for you!!
Cheers!
Same problem
Thanks for posting. I have the same problem with the same ROM. I'll change radio rom.
Radio Rom changed
Radio Rom changed 3.34.90 . No problems and good quality

For all those with WiFi data issues with 2.3.3

I have just spent an absolute age with HTC tech support, and the answer to the few that have been suffering with no data via wifi is................send your handset in for repair.
I honestly have completely lost the will to live, no matter what i say to try and convince them the issue is software related as i can use 2.2.1 absolutely fine, it seems to completely be over everyones head, i even spoke to a manager, who after listening to everything i said, who then spent 3 minutes in silence came back with "broken wifi module"
Arghh, they now want to book my handset in for repair, which i am reluctant to do as they quote a turn around of 20 days currently, i dont want to be without a handset that long.
all i want is gingerbread on my handset and be able to use WiFi, 3G works perfectly
Has anyone had any luck in solving this? its not a router issue, i have tried 4 different routers, its not a signal issue (i have a full signal, and its not dropping the signal), i have tried every 2.3.3 custom rom and stock rom out there and still no data Via WiFi, tried different radio's, and different kernels,
If i go back to using the Android revolution 2.3.2 beta, it works fine, so its defo since the 2.3.3 update.
any help from anyone would be so gratefully recieved i will buy you a pint!
Hi there,
Have you flashed the matching RIL's for your radios? A similar issue affected me but it was only with CM7 and ARHD. I flashed the radio in my signature (good WiFi performance for signal and battery life) and the corresponding RIL and all was working after a couple of reboots.
Hope this helps.
i have indeed pal, really really struggling with this.
A work colleague has just completed his OTA update at work, same issue,
at least i know its not just mine
im wondering if its something to do with the wifi driver in the ota,
Actually its not just the ota, tried the RUU just now, same issue
any Dev's got any clues?
Mate,
I´ve downgraded the ROM as per this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003), and now it is working perfectly. No need of gingerbread, I noticed that I do not need it anyway. Instead of that, my baby is alive and kicking againg.
Cheers.

im back on LeeDroid 2.2.1 custom rom and everything works like a charm, there isnt anything on gingerbread i need, but i want the option, i prefare the menu, but i can not be without WiFi. I have just sent HTC a humerous letter/email, i have spent hours on the phone with them today.
Sent LeeDroid a pm, see if he has any idea why this is, or if there is anyway to sort it
hopefully someone soon can come up with something, there are only a few of us with the problems, but even so HTC should release a patch or something to rectify it. A guy who has a T-Mobile branded device at work has updated fine, but myself and another colleague (both unlocked sim free devices from the carphonewarehouse) have the no data issue via wifi
i am losing the will to live

[Q] Emergency Calls Only

Yesterday my defy using CM7.1 suddenly stopped receiving any signal and says emergency calls only. For the past month it's been running great on CM7.1. Before it stopped working I did patch a program. Something pointless like flashlight or something. It was also charging on a car charger.
I checked the basebands and swapped them around and still nothing. I cleared my caches and still nothing. I've even reset all user data and still nothing.
I don't have a backup of stock motoblur so I can't test that.
I put my sim in a dumb phone or an older smart phone and it works fine.
Anyone know of what else I could try?
I had the same problem two days ago, but I'm lucky to check DEFY Baseband and then signal is normal.
i already changed the basebands around and still nothing.
I had something similar happen on the nightly from the 20th, even reboot stopped fixing the problem. Happy to report problem is gone on latest nightly from 23rd.

i never changed from the stable. the radio just died randomly one day. I flashed a whole new sbf and reinstalled cm7. still nothing.
Have you tested going back to a stock froyo to check the signal status and then again installing CM7?
Found out that it was the sim that was responsible for the emergency calls issue. It was quite strange because the same sim would work in an old touch diamond I had and the sim would also work in a dumb phone.
With a new sim calls worked again.
Although in my quest to fix the emergency call issue I've created some other issues but that will be in a new thread.
Thank you for the replies.
Please help i cant solve that problem.
try a factory reset \ wipe data
disable your code pin
Unable to change sim card pin
it gives that error.

Signal turning on and off rapidly

My friend got a Galaxy nexus he brought from amazon and asked me to root, unlock and install jelly bean on it because he cant wait. He is though, just a fan of stock and has no idea of rooting or any development, so i flashed on his phone the ota (bigxie_maguro_JRN84D_v2-signed.zip) then a radio (CWM-RADIO-i9250-JB.zip)... it went okay for a few weeks then he noticed a problem where his signal turned on and off very rapidly... especially in 3g, but when shifted into 2g, his signal seems to be fine.. i asked him what he did but he said he did nothing in particular that could have affected the signal.. he doesnt use his root access though so i believe him. i tried flashing different radio, and it didnt work. so can any of you guys can help us? thanks a bunch
send it back if you can. I'm still trying to get a perfectly working Nexus
When I was having issues with my signal (my RIL and baseband did not match) I found this app mentioned in the modem thread https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sibbor.getril and it seems to have helped resolve the issue for me. Hopefully it'll be of some use for your friend if he is experiencing the same issue.

GPS turns off when 3G connection enabled

Hello.
this problem has been going on for a few months but I never really tried to fix it until a couple of days ago.
This is exactly what happens: I start my phone and try to get a GPS fix with any apps, as long as I don't have a 3G connection, it works flawlessly.
the moment I enable the 3G connection, the GPS fix is lost and never works again until I reboot. wifi, 2g, airplane mode, they all give me a perfect GPS fix. as soon as the little "H+" shows on the screen, the GPS dies until the next reboot.
the weirdest thing about it is that it happens with every single room I try. so far I've tried CM 12, 11 and 10. exact same problem
Tried PA4.5 and 4.6, again, the exact same thing.
I even tried going back to stock, first to 4.3, nothing.
right now I'm on stock 4.0.4 which is the oldest image I could find, flashed everything back to stock (except boot-loader and recovery)
I've wiped everything between each room flash, of course.
I'm running out of ideas here. any help would be very appreciated
quick update.
I decided to try a different sim card from another carrier, and guess what? GPS working perfectly
but sadly, I need to use my own sim card. after 3 days of flashing roms, I feel stupid for not trying this at first. anyway, I didn't know your sim card could enable or disable your GPS?
does anybody know anything about it?
