2nd rate TURD!

Geeessss I've just had a 8 week argument with vodafone with b1tch slapping letters about my HTC Desire dropping calls... the recipients phone rings and cuts off.. then the Desire bleeps.. thats it... sent it back with a snotty letter saying the hardware was faulty which they wouldn’t replace..
Bought my own Desire SIM free.... put my own sim (different SIM) in it.. same problem...
The Desire is a FLAWED phone... sorry! its a piece of junk!
EBAY... this phone is a turd compared to my HD! Gess I have had enough of HTC!
This cant just be me!!!

Bye bye then

was the other sim the same network?

Not had this problem myself. But I used to be with vodafone when I had a Diamond and I had the same problem. Not had it with o2 or orange though.

Vodafone and TalkMobile... guess its the same network,,, Geess this phone is driving me mad!
Just tied it agian! same thing...... even my mates that I call are asking why I keep hanging up!

In just over 3 months with my Desire on T-Mobile, not once have I had a dropped call. Even though I have a pretty consistant 2 bar signal in my house, I'd say that is pretty good.

Cant you just ask your operator to send you a new sim card?? Maybe your simcard is faulty or you havnt inserted it properly!

Have been using my desire for 2 month and no problem at all with call drops.
Maybe just something wrong with u dude
P.S BYE!

Appreciate the construtive reply... but tried this.. moved from Vodafone to Talkmobile in the UK... sorta the same company...ish, same thing try and call phone just bleeps... we have a thing here with mates ringing your phone and hanging up.. wanting a call back.. sorta like being a tight ass.... I'm fast getting that reputation! by no means of my own!
Different hardware.. same problem.

Actually had mine drop a call 20 minutes into it tonight, noticed that facebook had sync'd at roughly the same time so guess that for some reason the phone prioritised the data connection over the call?

You know there is something called warranty right??

I have a lot of problems calling out. I'll dial and my Desire will wait a few seconds before bleeping and aborting.
I also have a lot of problems with sending text messages.
I live near the top of a hill and always have 4 bars!
I'm with Vodafone.

Thank you! this is exactly what I have! I have a heap of signal! I can walk out into the field next to my house and its exactly the same!.... I put the SIM out of interest in a 9 year old Sharp GX30 which hardly holds a charge... not ONE bleep of a dropped call! same sim!
I was with Vodafone but now talkmobile (technically same people) but its strange that my 9 year old GX that I only charged up a few nights back has no problem makin the same call...

Sounds like a Vodafone problem to me.

I never had a problem with my old Nokia before upgrading to the Desire.
I was hoping the last OTA update would fix the problem - as it fixed the re-connecting to the network problem, but nope.
I was wondering if was caused by a busy network? It's like trying to call someone at midnight on New Year's Eve! I'm not sure how to test this theory.

Na, can't be i'm on Virgin UK, and i get exactly the same.
But not that often thankfully,
Sometimes when i call out, i get "beep" dead, Re-call.....
And i constantly have the sms not sent problem, somethimes even with 2 bars.
I have a feeling it more to do with the radio, I know for a fact i have one of those original HTC Desire's, Also have the dust under the screen problem....
But with all its faults, Geeba cannot say its second rate turd, its still an excellent phone, hes just had a bad personal experiance with it.
The phone fills all my needs and more and Yea with most devices their are a few niliging problems but their to be expected, as well all know HTC like to release without FULLY testing as they know the user will call and complain if its not working
But i did see a thread the other day where some guy siad he flashed the latest radio which seemed to elevate all these exact problems (apart from the dust under the screen
Anyway Geeba chin up, just try flashing a radio and see how you get on, I'm personally waiting for official Froyo as its bound to have a radio in it

dropped calls/no signal

Hi all, i know this is a well talked about subject as i have done numerous google/ask searches, i find an awful lot but don't really seem to get any answers, over the last week i must have read hundreds of pages so please anyone who is going to tell me to google this problem, please don't as i have until i could scream lol......anyway, this is the problem i am having......
Hubby bought the HTC desire on ORANGE but then decided he wanted an iphone4 so he gave his desire to me, i am a vodafone user, as we have teenage children and the freedom/family packs are such good value, i wanted to stay on vodafone so i got the phone unlocked with an unlock code at my local mobile fone shop...hubby had never used it as a phone, just as a gadget to mess about on so we weren't aware there was any problems.... the problems i am having are these...i can't get the phone to hold a call, if i use wmcda only mode, its slightly better and i can usually get a call out but it will drop out if i stay on the line to long, if i use gsm only then i can't get a call out at all, the phone stays silent for a few seconds and then just drops out......on both settings the signal is fluctuating like mad and often gives me a x where my signal should be, i love the phone as a gadget but at the moment im not getting much luck with it as a phone.....a few things i thought may be to blame are
could it be the way the fone shop unlocked it??
i have used the same sim card (voda) for around 4+ years, could i need a better sim???
could it be because all the settings on the phone belong to orange and arn't set up to use on voda??
i have read on a few sites where people have returned these phones only to be given another one that has the same issues where others have recieved another hand set and the problem is solved but some people say they have no call dropping/signal issues at all and love the phone....im confused, i have been looking around the site and seen peopl are using custom roms and/or debranding the phone, could that help with my issues??
if anyone can help me i would really appreciate it ...
thanks in advance
emma......ps sorry for such a long post

Try with another SIM card. If it works, then your current SIM is broken, if it doesn't work, it's most likely the phone causing problems.

How did you get the phone unlocked, if it was with code, which is the most common method you shouldn't have any problems?

yes it was with a code, apparantly they get those codes from HTC themselves, i did try an orange sim card in it, it wasn't much better, my sim card can't be broken as i have it in my old iphone 2g, which i have had to go back to at the moment, HTC will get my phone very soon to have a look at as ups have just picked it up, i'll post back when i have my new/repaired device....thanks

HTC One X SIM Card Failure Video

Hi Guys,
Just wanted to share a video of my HTC One X with its SIM Card Disconnection fault.
(XDA Won't let me submit a link as I haven't created 8 posts yet...)
www .youtube.com/watch?v=b9iBTRH7UXQ&feature=youtu.be

It looks like a mechanical or contact problem. Have you tried another SIM card? Did you cut it to microSIM yourself?

Yes - I've tried multiple SIM cards and other SIM card holders from my friends One X.

Then I would say it is a mechanical issue with the contacts inside SIM slot. You should try to get it replaced.

Yes that's what I think too.
I'm trying my best. The company I bought it from online were 'unable to replicate the fault' and sent it back..
This is why I created this to prove the fault to them. If they still won't replace I'll contact HTC.

I have the same problem with a brand new HTC one XL.
The SIM card is not detected by the phone after couple of hours of use and I have to take the SIM out from the phone and plug it back in.

same problem here with cuted SIM card but my brother one x is working fine with cuted sim also.

i have the same problem. time since i bought one x it has lost connection with sim three times. last time it was yesterday morning when i reached my hand to get one x and wanted to see what time it is, i saw "enter pin code".
i havent tried any sim card, cutted or not, since it only supports microsim, and i have only standard size sim cards.
could it be phone fault or perhaps sim fault?

according to baadnwz (from the insertcoin roms) it's a software issue, he made some fixes to the framework and it greatly improves the issue for me but not for 100% .

Had exactly the same problem, sent it back and got a replacement that doesn't have this problem. (before that I tried a lot of things, such as adding some tape to the simcard, but none worked).
BTW, this is not a software issue, it's a hardware glitch that occurs when flexing the phone slightly, like it will do in most pockets.

I had it happen even when it was just lying on a table and baadnwz did fix something, so it must be software....

Wait. So who are the people using carrier-provided microSIMs and who are the ones using cut SIM cards?

My car didn't start last week as I had a flat battery, my neighbours car didn't start yesterday morning so I told him it's your car battery as I had exactly the same problem. Turns out it wasn't he'd run out of petrol
Point is it is very likely that different faults (software and hardware) are causing similar symptoms.
Regards
Phil

I have the Intermittent loss of sim that comes back after a few seconds and I'm using a cut sim.

in the thread on tweakers.net (a dutch site) many people are. complaining about this issue whereas on xda it's just a few people. a while ago in holland many HTC phones on the vodaphone network kept rebooting spontaniously, others had their clock run weird if connected to network time and others had no problems whatsoever. anyway it turned out to be a race network/sim/firmware issue, my guess is this issue is something similar.

I have purchased a brand new HTC One X online, and is the same issue. It refuses to detect any sim I insert and although wish it was a software issue seems more like a hardware fault.

what were baadnwz tips for fixing this problem? searched the forums and couldn't find a thing.

I had this issue with my sim card seeming to lose contact. I'd randomly see 'no coverage' then it would come back.
I had a look through some of the forums, and tried the sticky tape fix, and that seems to have solved it. Fingers crossed
Mine was a cut SIM, and since the tape is on and making it a bit thicker it's ok
I still get what I see now is the usual problem with mobile data not working sometimes, but the sim contact seems fine

My sim is also cut. might try tape but i heard it would be difficult to remove the sim in the future.

Xperia S SIM card issue

Hello. I'm new to this forum and I hope s.o. can help me. I bought xperia S but it seems that it has an issue with the sim card. The phone is not locked to any operator, it works fine most of the time but the problem is that sometimes the phone says SIM card is removed or no sim card, so I have to restart it. Sometimes I have to reboot ~10 times to get it work. When it says sim card is discarded, and I really discard it, it says SIM card removed, restarting.. and vs when sim is plugged while phone is turned on. It seems that the phone itself knows when there's a sim card inside. The sim card is working fine, tried it in another phone, everything went fine. Usually this problem happens when the phone gets hot (while playing games or capturing video, etc..). I don't think it's because of the sim slot but who knows.. Tried phone repairing and updated with latest firmware, but no success. The phone is not rooted. It seems to be a hardware problem, any suggestions?

Sending it for repair may be your final option.
Sent from my XperiaS via transwarp conduit.

Yes, I know that but it will take about a month to fix it and I am not sure if they can fix it either.. It's a second hand phone, maybe the first owner tried to root it or did something wrong while updating or sth? Because it's not logical to work excellent and undetect the SIM when I start more applications and the phone gets hot. How can I reflash it to stock ROM so if there's anything wrong in the file system to be fixed? Someone here had exactly the same issue but my sim card is brand new, 2 weeks old and working fine in other phones. EEK!

Take it back to the shop you bought it from and ask for a replacement?

I have the same problem. For me it helps, I use only the back button and than it`s ok for me.

Oh! Me too.
I think there have a problem in SIM card. But now i know that all of the people cause this problem. So this may be because of Handset. How can i Repair ??

How did it go?
I have the exact same problem, and seems a lot of people are getting it on new sony phones. I have an xperia S too. Did you found a solution? Thanks,

If you have even flashed a RUU, then it may be a hardware problem. Try with another sim card. Same thing happening?

I don't think this old Desire could be repaired, especially in my country.
But you could give it a try, just make sure to ask for the price. Sometimes it's better to buy a new one :laugh:
