My wife's phone has a very weird problem. If the phone is rebooted while it's connected to the charger, the phone will have no signal after boot up. The signal bar shows a cross and the IMEI is blank. The phone is okay if you reboot again without it being charged. I have tried alot of ways to fix this problem including changing ROM (currently on criskelo v38), changing kernel (currently on NEAK v1.3.3), changing modem (currently on XXLPH), wiping dalvik, and fixing permissions. But none worked.
My own GSII doesn't have this problem. Anyone can shed any light on this?
Correct IMEI for phone ~??

Yes, imei is correct during those times the phone has signal.
My problem is when reboot while chargign the phone does not recognise sim network and didnt even ask to input the simlock like normally when I reboot without charging.Maybe this is a bug?

Yah, same problem. As my wife doesn't have a sim lock, so it will show a triangle and that network is not responding or something. But it is perfectly fine on my phone. Is this problem affecting some batches?
Same problem here, I'm becoming mad. Flashing a new rom with no restored apps eases the problem for a little while, but it will do happen again. Restoring efs or changing kernel does nothing... Seems hw problem.
Ps: I also noticed a higher system cpu usage which results in higher battery drain. Phone is still usable but I don't get the same duration off charger as before.
I have this problem too, how do we fix it?

Hardware problem, I had to RMA it! It was amazingly difficult to explain the issue to the poor fella in the assistance point
I also have this problem, I just never reboot my phone when it's charging. It would be nice to fix though.
What's RMA?
Thank you

Over the last couple of days, the strength of the vibration on my phone has went really poor, used to be no issues with that for 2 months and now its very very poor.
To my knowledge, I have not bumped or banged the phone that may have dislodged anything etc
Anyone got any ideas on what problem maybe or how to fix ?
If I were you I would download some vibration testing app and determinate if its software or hardware issue first.

Thanks for the tip ...... you dont happen to know the name of one of these ?
Update - phone motorola support and only advice they could give me is try a factory reset and if that doesnt work, then send it back to them for repair, but means I would be without my phone for 2 weeks, plus its rooted.
If I do a factory reset when rooted, does this do anything untoward the phone ? Do I lose root ? unsure about this
Reminds me an episode from the IT crowd...
Hi!
I've got this problem long time ago, but have just ignored it. Currently I'm using Cyanogenmod 9 on my I9100 (newest nightly versions, Modem: XXLPR). The problem is when I'm starting the device with charger connected, my SIM-card not always get recognized (no PIN code notification) resulting in network problem. Sometimes it just helps to re-lock the screen and the PIN notification pops up, sometimes it's not. This issue only exist when I try to start my phone with charger connected. Without the charger, it starts without any issues.
So, I don't think that it's related to Cyanogen's nighty. I had it on MIUI GB based ROM's (2.3.7) too. I don't remember if it works on stock though, haven't been on stock ROM for a while now. Anyone having the same issue? Is my device faulty?
My IMEI number is correct so I suppose that efs folder is not corrupted (have a backup in case of failure). Thanks for you help!
Can you disable sim card pin?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5
It works to turn off the PIN protection, but I really want to have it on. It suppose to be working without issues?
Sorry for bumping this, but I really want to know if there is someone with the same issue or if there is a fix for this, thanks!

Well I had this phone for a month now, and it was fine all along until a couple days back, what happens is during a call randomly (once a day or so) the phone loses the network and the call gets disconnected, then it comes back after a few seconds. The 1st time this happened, it didn't come back and even switching to airplane mode didn't work, I had to reboot. Now I bought this phone used and I don't recall making any changes. I was on LPX modem initially then changed to kh3 so reverted back to lpx but the problem still persists. Even tried cleaning the sim card and contacts. Is this a hardware issue or a software issue or most likely a network issue? Considering it worked fine for almost a month.
Does this happen to some of y'all?

Hmmm, what you trying to say here? The network is at fault? This didn't happen on my earlier i9003. And this does happen once almost on a daily basis.
Had similar problem few times... disappeared after random rom changes. Also could be something with usb port (this broken bastard even changed my phone state to driving mode while conversating, in result my phone turned speaker on and was screaming to my ear in public places...) If it connects to network properly everytime after reboot I would say its hardware or software problem - that means, something that you could handle directly or indirectly.

Well now it just drops the network altogether only when there is an active call. It doesn't/hasn't happened to me while using data or anything like that, just that it drops the call along with mobile network and reconnects after like 5 seconds. Quite annoying this. What you have mentioned is some contact in your usb port (dirt etc) causing the phone to jump to driving mode. Were you having similar network issues?

Well this happened again today, lost network & came back in around 8-10 secs, very annoying and only when a phone call is being made or during. Funnily it only happens once a day.

Well happened again, this time not during a call but when it was using mobile data (3G), a vodafone guy called me & told me to change my sim to see if it solves the problem, for now I set my phone to GSM mode only and not WCDMA, will observe & see it it makes a difference.

Funny how it came up all of a sudden, I pray it's not a hardware fault though, let me know how the reflash works for you. Meanwhile I'll try CM9 but I read in the thread that many people are having this issue on it, so it just might make it worse!

Don't think it's hardware related... sunt started after flashing 4.0.4 .... did a full wipe and reinstalled lpw => speed mod => slim ics => siyah 3.3.3d hope everything is good. flashed this morning. will wait a few days
I've had the exact same problem, and can't ever recall it happenning on gingerbread, Only noticed it on CM9. Looks like an ICS sandwich bug, it talks to the hardware differently so this would explain why gingerbread doesn't seem to have this problem, If you still have these issues maybe try a gingerbread modem, and see how that goes. They are backwards compatiable with ICS.
Well I went a day without this happening to me on CM9, I'll try it out for another day or so to check.

Has your problem also disappeared?
I tried to search for the same problem through XDA but found nothing.
The phone is GT-I9300, Android 4.0.4, firmware I9300XXLH1. After some time after reboot the phone stops make and receive calls. The signal in statusbar is full and in notification menu I can see the name of my mobile operator. First I thought that something is wrong with my SIM-card. But after every reboot, as I already mentioned, for some time there're no problems.
Besides even after calls become unavailable, 3G and Edge are working fine.
May be someone can suggest any solution?

Weird. Doesn't sound like it's actually losing signal, just loss of functionality heh. As you even noticed you have signal and the radio is still functioning, at least for data, just not for voice.
I know it's a pain but I would start by either factory defaulting the stock ROM and see if it persists or if you want try a custom ROM and make sure to do a full wipe first.
The ****ty part is loss of data. If you have CWM installed then maybe make a nandroid first so you can revert back if it's no different

Flashed the same rom again and made full wipe, nothing changed. Downloading now 4.1.1 rom, may be something will going better
Have you cut your sim card or is it an original micro sim? Of you have cut it that's your culprit.

Hmm, that is messed up.
Maybe try a different modem?
It sounds like a software bug but to carry across a fresh install.... That's not right....
What ROM are you trying? Did it happen on any other one? Or just happens with this new ROM?

So i have 2 sims of one mobile op. The factory one and cut one. I began to think that the problem is with the sim card. So I tried both and nothing changed.
So may be there is any problem with micro-sim slot in the phone? May be the hardware problem. But if there is any hardware problem, why does the phone after airplane mode or reboot register in the network successfuly.
Besides when I call someone (while the network is still available) no matter how long the conversation is - the phone is available all the time.

Hey, just wondering did you manage to fix this problem?
My S3 is doing the same thing, only 2 weeks of having the phone and it started doing it today. I got full signal but it says I can only make emergency phone calls. Done the whole battery in & out, reset factory settings, and still nothing. I thought it may be the software update as I am yet to update but I'm unable to since I can't have data connectivity, I was going to use a friends' Wi-Fi to download the new firmware but it sounds like that doesn't help either?
Random reboots
Sometimes it reboots randomly.
Do more people have this problem?
I did a Factory reset by the way
None until now. About a month in with the device.
Same here. Reboots and random app crashes.

Hi,
After installing new update "G925IDVU1BOE3" from Samsung, am not getting any issues and battery backup is also good compared to earlier times when I was on OD2.
Hope this helps.

no i was on stock when i bought it and moved to a custom rom a few weeks ago and on my Verizon Edge i can not recall ever having a reboot on either of them. not saying it never happened but i dont recall it happening.
i also read about people having rotation issues and have not had that issue either so maybe i am lucky.
if Cell Standby would use less battery and reception improve a little it would almost be perfect.
I am on the 3 UK branded firmware and I get occasional reboots and also occasional freezes.
It is very annoying.
I am going to flash the unbranded UK firmware for my edge and see if it makes a difference.
Please Let me know how it goes. .those sudden reboots drive me crazy
Ps i cant remember that i had those reboots before the update.

You haven't even mentioned which firmware you are on, or which you were on previously. Are you using a G925F/T/I/W8/D/P/D4/0? With only saying "I have random reboots" you say as much as "I have a problem". And that isn't much, at least not enough to provide any constructive help..
Did you root? Did you change anything? Any information please Otherwise it will be hard/impossible to really help with it

There is no any unbranded uk.. Only international
There is or at least was. I flashed it onto my edge and it was fine, but I have gone back to 3 UK firmware to take advantage of their new 'volte' (I think it's called) service.

What that "volte" does?
It uses a different frequency to make signals go further.
Supposed to help fill in the areas where the signal is poor or no signal.
