When first time booting, take of your SIM card, disable 3G at the settings, and push back your SIM card.

Searching Network Problem.

I recently upgraded to Kavana_Rickys_v23 the other night Loving the new rom and the other apps. Woke up from a quick nap and my phone is searching for a net work, i figure no biggy. Couple of hours later still searching. Did a reboot, nothing. Upgrade and down grade from different roms and still nothing. When I manually select a network I get service, but cannot hold the service. Any ideas anyone? Could it be that I need a new sim card? Help and thanks in advance.

Yeah, I would stop off at a local T-Mobile Retail and let them test with a different SIM.

[Q] battery life

Is there any way to make the battery last longer without rooting the phone? And also is there any way to turn on the mobile hotspot without dropping $30 a month for the extra service from sprint?

Many, many, many ways. Number one, obviously don't use the phone as much. Use wifi when possible. Turn off wifi and/or 3g when not needed. Turn down display brightness. Turn down display time-out. Don't use the camera. Don't use the gps. Don't use Navigation. Turn off or turn down accounts you don't need syncing often.

You would need to root. And don't even think about asking how to do it.

Well geez, you could've put that a LITTLE nicer To answer ur ? Superman rooting is a wonderful thing if you have the sense to think about what you do before you do it. Rooting isn't difficult but I'm not even sure if they've figured out root for the recent OTA update sprint pushed out or not. I've been rooted since day 3 of ownership and never looked back. A simple 3 minute scan of the forums will essentially give you that answer, right now I'm busy messing with Synergy, sorry. There's plenty of things you can do to conserve battery but rooting on top of what my man above said is clutch bro, you'll be a happy lad
Well thanks guys. I appreciate the help. And yes I am a noob but I'm aware that I can't root yet so I wasn't asking. But since I can't root I need to do other tricks to save on battery life. That's why I was asking. But anyways, thanks again for your help.

I have the same issue, and this is one of the only posts about it. Have you found a way to fix it? I'm at a point where I'm about to just sell this. I can't get anything done. Do you by chance have T-Mobile?
Same issue. T-Mobile here. Doesn't disturb me enough to sell the phone, haven't had the issue since going to a custom ROM. I'm sure it'll be fixed with OTA's or whatever.
Hello
i have the same problem
i am on VIPNET Croatia
is some fix coming soon
it is very annoying
Really nice to know I'm not the only one. But my god, it's getting worse as time goes on. I'm at the point where I can't even get data unless I reboot the phone 5-6 times, and only for a few seconds. I am completely out of ideas.

please can you tell me witch coustom rom did you put in htc M8
and solve the data issue
i am going crazy with this phone
and i want to put same coustom rom like you
to get problem fix
please help
I have been using my m8 since the day I got it back in early April and have never experienced that issue. I am also on tmo but have the dev edition with stock rom but I live in the city so I always get a strong and good signal.
Possible solution
My M8 worked great for a month when about a week ago I've started having serious issues with the HSPA data.
After working great for a few minutes the data stopped working.
The H icon showed that traffic was sent from the phone but no traffic received by the phone.
Sometimes the data connection was restored by itself and sometimes I has to toggle the data connection off/on to have it restored.
It both cases the data connection failed again after several minutes.
All the diagnostics app showen that there was hspa connection.
After trying almost anything I could think of I found out what causes my problem:
It's the F**** NFC!!!
I've forgot that a week ago I've disabled the NFC thinking this will save battery life (though the battery life is great).
Turning the NFC on (followed by a power-down/power up cycle) solved all the data connection problem.
I've verified several times that NFC disable is indeed the cause of my problem.
Hope this helps others on this thread.

[Q] Disable reboot after SIM disconnect

Currently even if disconnected at all - it will force a reboot if it the SIM isn't detected? I have xposed framework installed but I can't find a module which would do what I am describing.
Is there a way to disable the phone from restarting after it recognizes that the sim card had been disconnected?
Like a way for it to ignore that the SIM was disconnected or anything to do with that warning/force reboot message.
BTW what is up with the captchas? seriously? Has someone spammed the forum a whole bunch cause I swear every time I needed to enter one it took me like twenty times before it would verify! Indeed the hardest captchas I've ever tried to read!
Thanks for any help!
That's not normal behavior at all. First I would try to disable xposed, could be a module doing this. If not, then reflash stock firmware or clean flash your current rom
My phone also randomly loses detection of the simcard which obviously has not been removed because I doubt you can get it out with the battery and cover in the way, but when I was trying different roms, (sorry I don't remember which one off the top of my head, I think it may have been a rom by The Sickness or possibly Jamison904) one of them didn't care that my phone didn't detect my simcard, it obviously didn't make/receive calls, texts, or data while in this state till I reset the phone and the simcard was detected but I just wanted to let you know it is indeed possible.

Normal behaviour will not reboot it, I've seen that problem with a friend's phone and it never forced a reboot. That's why I suggested to disable xposed, reflash stock firmware, reflash rom, or flash another like you said
I assumed it was stock firmware that forced reboot when the sim was no longer detected, NOT an xposed module. I was wondering if there was an xposed module which could modify that behavior. Jesus can I donate money to get rid of the recaptcha?

Nope it doesn't do that, so it's unlikely that such a module exists. This is the first time I am reading about this behavior to be honest. I just use tapatalk so no captcha
Thats a stock problem im having that same issue. Its annoying.... if theres a way I wanna know too.

I totally figured it was... it did NOT seem like the kinda message xposed would force on you....
Unless you meant that it could xposed causing a hiccup in the loop, but that's still ambiguous.
I doubt it's xposed as my phone was resetting constantly, got a new SIM and I've seen it only do it once since I put it in a week+ ago. Might try that first?
Edit:
Man this ****ing captcha is stupid. For a coder forum why should I have to enter it again after I hit preview post?!?!! I'm trying to write better, seriously anyone know any robots who spam and preview their posts first? Now I'm just gonna submit and edit the stuff which doesn't require a captcha to be entered..... which is REALLY dumb that I can do that cause spammers could just spam a bunch of regular posts then edit them en masse.
I still don't think it's stock problem, but try this, guys
I just came across a thread I remember reading about a while back and thought I'd share what their solution was.
Solution is below:
"I discovered there was an issue with the setting in the OS (Settings, More Networks, Mobile Networks, Network Mode) and the Service Mode settings (Phone dialer, *#2263#). *Service mode was initially set to Automatic and under the band preferences I had some other non standard settings. *I went thru and verified all the band settings were set to "all" and selected option 6 (LTE/WCDMA Mode) versus option 1 (Automatic). *I have not seen an error in over a week."

Thanks for the help, however that post is really unclear can you clarify the steps this dude took or what's happening here? Or link to the thread?
Basically just going into service menu and change the network preferences to wcdma/LTE only

Hmph, that's crazy that is what caused the problem. I'll try it if it happens again and see if that works but changing the sim card seeems to have worked.
It was confusing because they mentioned all the button presses when you can get to the menu from what they said.

Yeah replacing sim should always be one of the first things to try in this situation. My friend has the same problem and turned out it was the sim card they were using was a cut one. This phone is not friendly with those

Unfortunately it did it again today walking around shopping more, but I wonder if the above fix does the trick. I'll report back.
Edit: just realized the next setting is WCDMA/GSM only, no WCDMA/LTE only or do yo need to be in the service menu via the key presses?

It appears that you do need to be in service mode

Losing data after wifi disconnect

Been having this problem for awhile now, but it's getting more frequent.
If I'm connected to a wifi network, be it home or work, and I then step away from it, my data connection will be stuck at 1X (ie no data), even if my signal is at max bars, and I'm in an area where I know I've had data before.
Sometimes toggling data or airplane mode will bring it back, but that fix is working less often now. Rebooting the phone seems to fix it, and I'll immediately get 4G LTE data. But this is happening every other day now, and I can't keep resetting the damn thing every time I get into the car in order to make sure that my email and messaging apps still work.
Is there some way within the settings to force the phone to reestablish data with the tower without resetting?
EDIT: Took it to Verizon, who gave me a new sim card. Will test for the next few days and see if that fixes it.
Update : the problem resurfaced. As usual, reseting fixed it, but this is getting obnoxious. I'll take it back to Verizon and see what they say.
i have this issue too, any updates?

Verizon requested a warranty replacement through HTC, so...yeah. There's your answer, I guess.

Well, I received a new phone overnight via FedEx, and the new one hasn't lost its data connection yet.
So yes, I supposed it's "fixed"... But I wouldn't really consider having a new phone sent to me a "fix", since this option is probably not available to all users.
