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.

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.
Tester app
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!
Do you have Exchange 2010 sync?
Hi have the same porblem with LG Optimus 2x.

Hey, so I changed the password on my phone about 3 weeks ago, no issues since then...till about 3 hours ago. My phone seems to have changed the password on me. I've tried entering my new password multiple times, old password, last 4 digits of my phone number, 0000, 1234, etc and nothing has worked. I know how to bypass a password on Windows computers, so is there a way to do that with WM6.5? I really hate to hard reset my phone again because I have a bunch of new numbers I haven't backed up, and since its locked itself out I've gotten about 20 texts and I don't know how many emails that I would like to read. Emails not a problem, texts...yeah. Anyways, HELP PLEASE!
Password issue (too)
The exact same thing happened to me!! I'm so p!ss3d!! I did nothing to my Tilt2 to cause this. It just suddenly changed and now I cannot even reload the ROM because WMDC won't connect without it being unlocked. Just last week I loaded the latest Energy ROM dated 24 July. Could this be a ROM related issue? Looks like a Hard Reset is next!
I also had this problem. Had a look around and people seem to suggest it happens when the battery goes on low power (for me, I turned my device off - long press on off button), and after turning on I couldn't get back into my phone. The only solution I have seen is to hard-reset (a real problem as I had encrypted the SD card!). So now I am really wary using the password, but I really dislike my data being unprotected.
Hi All,
I have bought an unlocked HTC about 3 years ago, and basically, this works with any SIM. I have used it all over Europe, with no problems. However I am having trouble using it here in the UK.
Any ideas as to why this is happening?
How about some more information, eg what sim, what troubles, etc.

The SIM is Vodafone, and I cannot connect to the network, ie no calls or sms. I tried the SIM in another phone and it works. So it is the HTC that is giving problems. And I am sure that the HTC is unlocked, since I have tried other SIM cards when in Europe and all of them worked.
I have another SIM from Vodafone from another country in Europe, and it does not work either inside the HTC.
Possible cure?
If you don't have a SIM PIN, try setting one. If you already have one, skip that step. Then, try changing your screen security, for example from Slider to a PIN and then back to Slider.
I put a known good SIM in my phone in the UK and had no wireless connectivity until I forced the phone to ask me for my SIM pin while it was running (i.e., not on boot - rebooting didn't help). For some reason, changing the screen security triggered a request to enter the SIM pin, and then suddenly wireless was back.
I can't repeat the cause of the lost connectivity, but I have repeated this cure on subesquent occasions when I've lost wireless.
Take your HTC to Vodafone. There might be some settings missing.

I tried doing what you said but it never asked me for a SIM PIN. I tried to change the SIM PIN but there is already one and I do not remember it

Hope you've got your PUK code handy. You're going to need it next time you have to turn your phone on!

Actually I did not need it!
And an update, I took the phone to the store and they fixed the problem. They guy at the counter entered something on the phone and it started working. Guess I had some missing setting.

Good news. But you're still gonna need that PUK code one day if there's a SIM pin and you don't know it!

I will only worry when that happens
Hi all,
I have been experiencing this issue for a couple of months now and and it seems to be getting worse.
Every few minutes, my phone will not be able to send / receive calls or use data, and then a message "Preparing SIM card" will pop up. Some times it will take 2 - 3 rounds of the "Preparing SIM card" message before all connectivity starts working again. The signal bars are always full before, during, and after the message.
Quite often I will be trying to place a call, and the number will look like its dialing for a couple of seconds and then go back to the dial pad. After re-trying to dial the number 4 - 5 times, the "Preparing SIM card" message will pop up, and then the call will be able to go through.
I feel this is a software issue rather than hardware, because there is no physical intervention required to make it work. I am also using a replacement SIM card just in case it was the card itself, but no difference.
Thje phone is a HTC One X International running ARHD 33.1. I have done a full wipe of all partitions and re-installed from scratch as well, but still same problem.
Any ideas or help appreciated.

Tried this option today. Did not work unfortunately.
Is there any result for this Problem cause i have still the problem and no solution for it...
Me also suffering from this problem. Am using ARHD 33.1. @denkem helped me very much to resolve this issue but no luck If somebody comes up with the solution, plz share.
Ok, i have some strange problem here.
I bought my Xperia Play few years ago on auction without simlock.
I used it with my t-mobile card for some time.
Recently, i fixed it by replacing flex cable and install stock rom/kernel, then Hyper Gamer rom/kernel.
I get Play sim card with free internet lying around, so i put it in.
Phone wanted some "network unlock PIN" so i type some random numbers and it worked.
Now, my phone have sim lock to Play network.
I don't have any unlock codes, since this phone never had sim lock.
In addition, i can't type *#*#7378423#*#*, because after typing last "*" everything disappears.
I tried reinstalling rom, but with no effect.
I will be thankful for any help.
Nvm, now everything is working for no reason
