Hi all,
have had my Desire for a couple of months now, well pleased with it. I have not in any way modified it other than installed some apps from market. This afternoon after lunch while it was in my Brodit car holder I suddenly noticed it was asking for PIN code. Entered it, fine. But then a couple of minutes later, same thing again. And again.
Just now I was typing an SMS to somebody and just before finishing screen blanks out, then the screen asking for PIN comes up.
What the heck?
Anybody who has had similar problems and knows what causes/caused them?
I haven't had the battery or sim card out or anything, it just suddenly started doing this.
Cheers

*edit*
I have tested switching off the phone, removing battery for a couple of mins then reinserting and rebooting, but same problem persists.
Wonderful, we're going on holidays in 2 days.... :'(
Well I couldn't for the life of me figure out what the problem was, tested with another SIM but same. Completely random, sometimes it would last half an hour sometimes not even a minute.
Did a clear storage/hard reset and after that all seems fine. Except for that my conversations were still there, but somehow if I get an sms from somebody now it's added to the wrong conversation. Then if I reply to it, it goes to the person in the conversation, not the person who sent the msg
Deleted all msgs now so should be sorted. Think a problem with all contacts syncing to and from Microsoft Outlook, it messed up all phone numbers like this:
46 2342423423
so no + and a space between country code and phone number. ANnoying as heck but haven't figured out if there's a setting in outlook or htc sync to solve this.

What ROM/Radio is it running?? is it unbranded??
I have no idea. Bought from Komplett here in Sweden, i.e. unbranded and unlocked. It's running what it came with since there haven't been any updates and I haven't the balls to start experimenting about with it
Strange, I just picked up my Desire today. I rooted it this evening and only noticed it happening after rooting it. I didn't run it for very long unrooted though, so I don't know if it's related. I wonder what's causing it.
maybe this helps:

Thanks but it goes to SIM lock rather than phone lock... like when you first switch on your phone. The phone doesn't reboot though, it just asks for the SIM pin all of a sudden, even when you're doing something on it.

Click to collapse
i also had this problem (well more or less) for me it happened when my cellphone signal dropped to limited service (or no services at all) after the phone picks up a signal again its asks for a pin. you mind want to check this out aswell. i fixed this by going into the settings and fiddling around with network/mobile operator settings and such, soz i cant remember exactly, but this did the trick for me.
hope it helps.
I was going to take it back to the shop when I thought I'd try a different ROM first. I installed the OpenDesire 3.0.1 Froyo ROM last night and so far it hasn't done it yet. Maybe the official Froyo ROM won't have that problem either.

Hi
I've been having the same problem on my X10 Mini Pro for the last couple of days. To try and figure out what's causing this I've made a small app that checks the sim-status periodically. If it's not available or a pin-code is required for unlocking it the phone starts vibrating plus default notification-sound.
If you're fast you can check your device's LogCat with aLogCat (available from market). At least you'll get notified that you're unreachable
Since I have no Market-account yet you have to upload it to your phone manually with adb. Search google for a howto.
See attached file.
Hi!

Hi guys,
I've been using GV 2.7 on my Desire for about 6 months and decided to upgrade to 3.3 today but I've got a problem.
Both times after installing/upgrading my phone won't vibrate when I get texts and emails but it will when I receive calls and turn the volume down to zero. Last time it just started working again after a couple of months but this time I'd like to be more pro-active. Can anyone help?
I've tried installing Sound Manager and playing around with the setting but to no avail!
Cheers,
Mike
Having the same issue and is looking for a solution. Any updates on this matter?
Hi,
i am on villain_au that the guys at rom-au prepaired. It has some small upgrades in it and some extra settings for the australia network. The settings for the network are no problem (you remove or take the ones from your sim)
so far no problems ..got an occasional forced close of an app, but that could be the app as well. No boots.

You know how sometimes you get someone starting a thread about a problem before they actually try to do something about it, and then 60 seconds later they post that they restarted the phone and the problem is fixed? Yea, this isn't one of those times.
I tried using Sprint ID for the first time on my E4GT yesterday. I went to "Get a New ID," and when I press it, it says "An unexpected server error has occurred. Please try again." And it only gives me the options of "Retry" and "Cancel." So I try again and I keep getting the same message. And as the headline to the message, it says "Oops...", like I'm getting punkd by Rick Perry during a presidential debate or something.
When I do this, I have wifi OFF, and 3G ON, exclusively. So no, its not that. Also, I've tried different ways to get a new ID, through the "Switch IDs" way, the "Manage IDs" way, and I even went on Sprint.com and had 2 different new Sprint IDs texted to my E4GT for download and I still get the same message. Also, FYI, my phone is stock, non-rooted. And yes, I've restarted the phone, multiple times.
I briefly Googled the problem and have only found a similar issue reported for the Samsung Transform, not the E4GT. Has anyone here encountered this problem or a similar problem at all? If so, how did you fix it?
If anyone has any valuable input about this issue I'd appreciate the help. Thanks folks!
Hello
I have been a HTC Desire owner for two years. Since july I have had a problem with it. After several or over a dozen seconds conversation interlocuter says that my voice getting distorted (they doesn't understand me) and then the call is end. First I thought that is a network problem - but when I use this simcard in other phone I haven't this kind of problem. Also I exchanged the simcard for new and reinstall phone system (now is CM7). Please help me.
Dear All,
This is the first time I am participating on such a technical forum. Please forgive me if I am a little lengthy in details. I own a Galaxy Note 2 N7100 in India. Mine is not a carrier locked unit as there is no such practice in India. I recently installed CM 10.1.3. RC1 on my phone. The installation was perfect and after installation the phone seemed to be working perfectly. I installed a large number of apps that I regularly use and there was no problem. However, later on when I tried to connect my phone with my Fiat Linea Blue & Me system via Bluetooth then it got connected with great difficulty but the phone and contacts app crashed. Thereafter if I dialled a number from my phone I could neither hear the ring going through to the other number nor the voice of the person on the other side even after the phone was connected. However, the person on the other side was able to hear my voice perfectly. I disconnected the bluetooth but the problem was not solved. I did a factory reset and without installing any apps again connected my phone to Jabra BT & Fiat Blue & Me. this time everything worked flawlessly. However, after having installed all my apps, the problem resurfaced. Finally i was compelled to unroot my stock rom and everything is back to normal. All the apps are still installed and everything works fine.
Someone please guide as to what might be the problem. I have nearly 70 apps on my phone. Can anyone please help me?
I've got the same problem. I use the final version 10.1.3. When I want to turn on Bluetooth, it instantly turns off. I've got no idea what this is. Maybe the next release helps.
Sorry for bad English.
