I have just one big gripe with the hox and that is that a few times per day the sim card is not recognised anymore and I have to reenter the PIN. In the known issues I saw it mentioned. Does anyone know if my device is at fault or if it is a sim fault or some software issue. (the problems occurs with both stock and custom roms)
Get a proper sim and try it.

the sim is a proper sim microsim, I just bought
I just got a new sim, had to get all upset and angry at the Vodafone store to get it without having to pay for it but the problem still persists
no one has any ideas on how to fix this? or even if my phone is defect or if it is a software bug?
No one with this problem? Today it just happened about 6 or 7 times in a row, I tried to reboot the device, even turning of fastboot but the problem persisted; The device felt warm (just warm, not hot) and the battery seems to have drained a lot with most of it drained by screen (42%) but also mobile standby (23%) with 21% left.
I have the opposite problem mine is all the disconnected and connects some times
I think it might be the same issue, which carrier are you on?
I'n On Maxix Malaysia
Is this the same problem?

no, I am losing sim and therefor connection but the problem is with the sim, not network per se.

Something strange happened to my Artemis, I was charging the phone with the original charger, whilst the phone was turned on.
I may have left it charging a few hours longer even after the charge light turned green.
I removed it from the charger, then it intermitently displayed no service, and then searching for network, and remained in service for a few minutes and then it repeated the whole process for about 5 - 6 times and then it displayed "No Sim"
The sim card works on other phones, but no matter whatever sim card i put into the artemis, it still cannot detect any of them.
I tried bending the contacts up a bit to help connection, and even tried slipping paper behind the sim card to push the sim card into the contacts more
nothing worked, I am not sure what else to do other than re-flash the rom,
has anyone experienced similar problems, please. I really want to get the phone function/sim detection working again.
Cheers
Change simcard i have the same problem with my XDA Orbit ( HTC Artemis)

how long have you had the phone? if no sim works i'd of thought the phone has had it
mine started going funny as i was switching between o2 and orange sims a lot, after a while it had difficulty finding the sim, but always worked after inserting/removing the sim a few times
i had my phone warranty repaired with o2, considering i'd already renewed my contract was surprised they still did it, but 2 years is 2 years warranty thats the only thing i can think of?
ive had this prob with my orbit,i ended up hard reseting the phone for it to recognise the sim
This is weird. When I woke up I restarted my HOX and suddenly signal kept dropping. Keeps saying preparing sim card. What could be causing this? I don't want to keep factory resetting. Seems to be a really great phone but now I don't know if I should return it. Please if anyone can help.

Got exactly the same thing, was told by HTC it was faulty. Send it back for a replacement.

are you using a call blocker? I was getting weird issues when using root call blocker. I had to uninstall it, had read from the app devs they are working on the problem

mine is still stock, but I only had problems after I updated 2-3 days ago
had really great signal before upgrade... havent tried restoring fabric settings, but am searching for custom rom, and will try that out
Already happened to me three times where suddenly "preparing sim card" appears and I lose signal. Had to hard reset all the time. Unfortunately, htc shops here in the Philippines are crap. They say they have to send it to service center even if the phone is a week old. For what? So they open it up? I don't want to have a week old phone opened and fixed. I want a replacement.
Have the phone for 2 week now, and today i also faced this problem for the first time T_T (running stock 1.28)
Just great, first the yellow spots that didn't went away and now this problem on top of it ?
I hope it was a coincidence and hope i won't get worse.
I had my microSIM replaced and so far, crossing my fingers, signal has been full almost all the time. I just had the original SIM cut before, so I hope that was just the problem.
I've read about sim cards been cut to micro sim been a possible cause.

Similar fault here with factory micro Sim

In Slovenia one carrier has this problem. Only SIM cards older than 2 years work so it is a SIM problem. When I asked them about when they will solve this they told me it's HTC's problem and that HTC is working on the problem. Maybe the next update will fix it. SIM cards of other carriers work ok. So if you can, try cards from other carriers. If anyone knows how to fix this I'd be grateful. I don't want to switch my carrier because other two's 3G network is [email protected]
just got my samsung galaxy nexus, but i have a really really annoying problem: when i turn my phone on and i have to type PIN it forces me to repeat this several times although i type correct PIN. had the same problem with my htc sensation xe on pure android!
this is really annoying because it takes me like 1minute to turn my phone on. luckily it happens not always.
can anyone help? it is stock, just got it delivered
As it happened with your last phone and now is happening with a new phone, I would say its a sim card issue.
Faulty SIM

Agreed.
Have you got another SIM that you can try to prove the problem is with it?
as well i have some issues with my signal recieving. im user of e-plus and i never get signals? tried another sim-card and had same problem with bad/no signals AND pin errors.
please help
My phone is constantly failing to detect the sim card, usually if I restart the phone or leave it for enough hours it will "find" it again.
Short of reflashing it I'm not sure if there's any way to determine if this is a software or hardware issue. The phone itself is a refurbished one (thanks to the phones insurance replacing it a few months ago), however it is now out of warranty. If it was a hardware fault, how much would it probably cost?
Thanks, Shaun.
The first thing I'd try is a different SIM card or a different SIM card insert (bit of plastic that the SIM sits in).
Has this always happened since you've had the phone?
or
Has it happened since you flashed the phone?
As for the price of repair I haven't a clue (i do all repairs myself), but my guess is in excess of £150
You may want to provide more information before other, more experienced people, come to your aid.
It's slowly gotten worse over the last few months (the first couple of times I just thought it was a once off bug or something, which is why it's very difficult for me to give you an exact when it happened).
The fact that its gotten worse in itself is leading me to guess its a hardware fault - I could have knocked or dropped it and not remember or something.
I don't have any other SIMs but I'll give flashing it to a different ROM or stock a shot first.

I feel as if that is your best best before you go throwing money at it.
Good luck!
Does the phone say no sim card (with icon) or do you lose service?

It has done both, the latter's slightly more common though. Probably more often than both it will momentarily drop out, then come up with a "Preparing SIM card..." message.
Still happening after flashing it with a different ROM. Looks like it's probably hardware :/
Might be coxicial cable that connects the pcb with antenea board they do come off from time to time

Hi there,
i have a similar problem with my device:
network disconnects sometimes (for some reasons ok, as example when i sit in the underground or other places without gsm network) - but then the services doesnt comes back - i'm complete offline. next behavior: i'm just talking with full gsm bandwidth, and for really no reason i get disconnected -> no network anymore, no service anymore.
can it be a hardware fault or should i try to flash the modem (when possible) ? I'm on the latest HTC firmware, device isnt rooted or flashed... it is as i got it from the market.
thanks for a hint what i can try
See above could be that, what network you on?

I'm on GSM (in Germany the O2 network)
maybe the network fault can be solved:
just have read in the vodafone forum in uk and found a hint from a user, who was taping the back side of the SIM card with 2 stripes of plastic.
Have tried this and report tomorrow here if it solves the issue
Tested with taped SIM card and i can say: it works like a charme
My phone shuts down randomly, along with frequent network fluctutations. But when i remove the simcard the phone works fine. I recently flashed the .283 (4.4.4) US version while i am from India. Can it be the reason for this weird behavior? Do different ftf files have different basebands even for same model (c6502) ?
Also can anyone give me the indian baseband flashable by flashtool?
BLUF: Turn of Stamina mode (or whatever super battery saver program your phone has) and uncheck or disable Android Device Manager under Device Administrators.
Try turning off your stamina mode or what ever super battery saving program your phone has. I had the same problem. There is some sort of conflict with US SIMs. While a SIM is sending data (IE not while connected to wifi) and while the phone is sleeping, the SIM (i believe SIM Tool Kit) get stupid confused and tries to wake the phone and then just reboots. This is just a theory. What I do know is that I had random reboot problems when I switched from my European SIM to an American SIM. Same phone, the only change was the SIM. After several days, I found out that it only occurred when idling, with STAMINA mode activated, not connected to Wifi. I was able to constantly recreate the problem to confirm the conflict. It worked for me, I hope it works for you.
similar problem here
I am also facing similar problem. But this is now related to SIM at all.
My symptoms are -
1) Network signal drops and disconnects
2) Phone is not able to send/receive data, especially 2G data
3) Phone reboots randomly. This happens right after there are data send/receive issues
4) Lately, phone is not able to reboot at all. Sometimes SONY appears and phone goes off. Sometimes this happens after XPERIA, sometimes after boot is complete phone goes off.
I am not sure why this is happening. This started happening after gsam battery monitor was installed. I uninstalled that, but problem is not solved. And frequency of this seems to be increasing day by day.
I am trying repair in PC companion now, but not sure if this is useful.
Phone details - Xperia ZL, C6502, 4.4.4 build 10.5.1.A.0.283, 13 months old, India
Anybody else having similar issue? Any solutions?
Never buy sony again
Finally, my phone died.
Symptoms were not exactly like battery issue mentioned by others. But at the end this seems like battery issue only.
Phone works ok when connected to charger. Once you remove, it dies within 5 minutes.
Went to sony service center, they almost refused to repair it. Asking me to either buy refurbished one or buy another SONY with discount.
This is insane and utterly irresponsible.
They should be able to repair any phone released in last 2 years at minimum. They are saying that they cannot repair this specific model! I dont know how true this is.
This is extremely disappointing, I would never buy SONY product again. And would also appeal fellow members to do the same.
This phone lasted only for 14months. Warranty is only for 12 months, so my bad luck.
This battery issue is clearly a design flaw. Whats more shocking is that they are not ready to do anything to it, even when I am ready to pay for it. I am feeling like going to consumer court.
Compare this to Nokia 5800, which I repaired(broken lcd screen) after 3 years without any fuss, just 4k rs and 1 day! and it was ready to go...
I hate sony now and would ask fellow Indian users at least to refrain from Sony(as we buy phones off contract with meager 1 year warranty). I am so disappointed that now paying more than 10k for 1 year warranty seems very illogical to me! I am now all for micromax, xiomi and all such cheap phones! They are much much more value for money than this sony crap.
