After taking my phone off the charger this morning I have had this white blinking triangle above the signal bars. I have tried everything, airplane mode factory reset, new rom and going through roaming settings.
Can anyone please advise what's going on? Bad SIM card possibly?
I still get calls and text, nothing different, just annoying!
Thanks in advance!
Have you tried re seating the sim card.

First thing is pull the sim out for about two minutes, then put it back in and power the phone up. Give it a few minutes to boot and settle.
You need to go into the phone's hidden menu and see if preferred network is set to CDMA+LTE/Evdo auto, if its still there I would try CDMA (auto PRL)
Depending on the rom you're using there's different ways to get to the phones hidden menu, In venom tweaks it's on the advanced or misc
Easy way to do it is go to the play store and search for "LTE On Off" and you'll find the LTE on/off app for the thunderbolt, install it and open the app, say ok to the dialog and it will be in the settings window that you need, it's just a shortcut.
After that go to the phones settings/about/network and see what is says for network type, service state, and roaming.
I did all of that. It says not roaming.
So weird!
Thanks for the reply!
Downloaded that app, 5 mins later triangle went away!
Wow, so weird!
Thanks!
Never mind its back. Any ideas?
Was there a reboot between when you got rid of the triangle and when it came back?
Run it on cdma auto or cdma for a day or several hours. See what that does and let us know and then also try LTE, CDMA. We need specific feedback from you on what its doing in what mode.
A possible solution is to go to the Verizon store and have them give you a new sim card.
Those sim cards are like everything else, theirs lemons in the bunch sometimes.
That may or may not solve the issue, its kind of a personal decision about if you want to troubleshoot it yourself to confirm or deny that its software related. Or you can go to the Verizon store and the them replace the sim card, or order a new one from customer service and have them mail it to you.

I'm getting the same problem. Any more solutions CharliesTheMan?
RUU did nothing....
The sim card works in my Rezound so it can't be that right?
Changing it to LTE only I get 4G. CDMA, LTE I get nothing!

I'd try shimming the SIM card and cleaning the contacts. I've seen several users say that using a piece of scotch tape on the back of the sim card to snug up the fit solved this issue.
I'm having the com.phone.android force close and I've done everything but repartition this thing so I might PM you later on that topic. Pretty sure it will have to be a warranty return due to some hardware problem but I really don't want to give up this phone. It's so perfect, but I've donated it to a developer so if I can't fix it by tomorrow I'm sending it in.

So long story short, I opened a new line and swapped my hardware to the new line for the TB on my line. After I left BB, I called Verizon to do the swap. They said they couldn't because my SIM card was programmed for the original line and I had to go back to a VZW to get a new provisioned SIM, which I did. It worked when I left, but since late last night, I have no 4G or 3G. Any ideas what the issue could be?
Oh and when the phone goes into sleep mode and I awaken it, the 4G is lit up and then shortly after, no data.

when i first got my phone, the original 4g card wasnt working. turns out is was just bad... they swapped it for a new one and all is well. so i'm assuming u've already tried to reboot and see if that helps. maybe that card is bad as well? hmmm....u should go back to see if they can swap out to another one.
When I was in the store getting mine they were talking about how they'd been having allot of issues activating phone because of the large demand was causing a backup in the switch. There was a guy that walked in about 5 min before me and his would not activate, but then mine activated perfectly. So I guess it was intermittent. Makes me wonder if you got caught up in that backup when you activated the second sim.

Should I go back?
I would do a battery pull (pretty sure you've already done that) and remove and reseat the sim as well (if you haven't already) and if that doesn't work I'd reach out to Cust Service. May be something easily fixable in the system, save ya the time and gas of driving to the store.
maybe try a *228 and press 1 to program .... just a thought, I hate having to deal with customer service
I could be wrong but I thought *228 did not work with these phones because of the sim card.

My 4g would drop off randomly and I just assumed it was my area's LTE working out it's kinks. Then after doing the manual 3g only switch, the data was still randomly dropping off, so I was up to try anything out.
I pulled the battery and reseat the Sim like you said and so far so good...mind explaining that?, lol, doesnt make sense to me.
thanks in advance

Wow, exact same experience I had yesterday. I went in late, like 5:00 PM. I had to wait a while for someone to actually help me, but once I said what phone I wanted it wasn't more than 20 minutes to get the transaction done.
Do NOT do *228.
I had this same problem today when activating my phone. Just call Verizon and they will walk you through getting it activated correctly.
Ironically, on my way to VZW it suddenly started working. LOL. "clog" in the system? I don't know, but it's fast as hell!
I don't have 4G in my area yet but I got the TB anyway. I love it. But the 3G does the same thing, just keeps dropping out.
This keeps happening to me also. Its very Frustrating. What the number to VZW Customer Service?

Just so you know, *228 & *22899 do not work on the tbolt due to sim card. You cannot activate or update that way..

doesnt it still update the other radio? not everything uses lte.
No need for *228 because the sim card now is provisioned with auto PRL for when the phone does enter 3G service
DO NOT EVER ESN SWAP THE PHONE TO A NON 4G
Just like mentioned initially, the sim card and phone are designed for 4G lines only so swapping back to your old 3G device or onto another line is a bad idea.
If your trying to do an alternative upgrade and the store your at is full of morons, ask them if they could possibly do a Customer Provided Equipment Upgrade and then then ring out the phone in their point of sale system with the contract you have signed.
Until VZ Corporate figures out another way to do alternative upgrades, this is the only method I have found to get around this
Yes in many cases (including me) we have found it to take a while for 3G or 4G to stay on. Give it time. dial #832 to prove your phone can make calls and receive text messages. anywhere from 10 to some cases an hour before the phone is in full lock.
If your still having a problem go out for a walk or drive, heard switching between towers can help push the process.
I had the exact same problem as the OP, to fix it Verizon made me go back to best buy, you have to get the phone exchanged for a new one and then they have to call in to setup the new untouched TB on the line you want it on. Believe me it took 3 hours for them to finally fix it, and that's what did it.

It seems that everytime I plug my phone to the charger for few hours, it goes into Emergency calls only mode where I have no data and no calls incoming nor outgoing. Only way to solve it is to restart the phone or turn Airplane mode on and off to reset. Is this a common problem ? Could it have happened from unlocking my boot loader and rooting ?
I'm considering switching to the custom ROM "the base" in order to maybe solve this
Well I think this is new. Could just be a bad sim card. I don't have this problem and I haven't seen anyone else mention having it. I'd go to where ever I got it and have them swap the sim and if that didn't work the phone.
I would open the sd card/sim card cover and make sure sim is inserted fully. It should lock into place and need to be pushed in further to eject. I used a paperclip to push it in.

I actually had this happen to me like two days ago. I had just texted someone before walking to the lower level of a mall to go shopping. I took a look at my phone a little later and my phone was stuck on Emergency Calls with no data coming in. The carrier on the status bar wasn't even there anymore. Restarted my phone and all was fine. Not sure what caused it.
I've had this the last two days in areas I've always had great service. Wonder what's up with it.

Base rom has this enabled, or you need to be rooted and edit build prop.
I had this happen last week. I did the airplane mode toggle to clear it... but it freaked me out for a few minutes.
Running The Base, sk8r's kernel during install, no change to the LTE setting, no crazy mods applied.
I also sit in a nearly-dead-zone at work, and I have lost the data connection. Moving into the clear does not fix the issue. Reboot has been required.
This Android App Might Help
I had just the same problem with my Samsung Galaxy S2 with UK mobile provider Three.
I eventually wrote an app called which reconnects whenever it detects that the phone has got locked into Emergency Calls Only.
Maybe it will be of use to you. Search Google Play for "Cell Reconnect". Seems I'm not allowed to post links here yet...
Figured it out for my phone
I got a refurbished LG optimus G E970 from a seller online and had this issue the second day of using it. I checked to see if it was the SIM or SD card by putting them into my old phone, but that wasn't it because the old phone still functioned properly making calls/messages. I even did a factory reset on the phone. Still didn't work. I finally just decided to change the mobile networks to my provider's GSM network and it worked. Not sure why it didn't work in the first place since I never changed the network, but this did the trick.

Hello. Could you please elaborate on how you fix that issue? I'm currently on T-mobile and my unlocked AT&T LG E980 is losing signal like crazy, just briefly loses signal and goes into emergency mode only. It is so annoying though. Would really appreciate any insight on it. Thanks.

I get the same problem. I have also experienced "preparing sim card" messaged several times. I hope the OTA update helps, I have not had the chance to install it as I am currently studying abroad.

Have you tried in gsm only mode? I have same problem and preparing SIM card issue doesn't come up in 2g mode. I was reading this kind of issue is produced most likely by a faulty 3g antenna.

I experience this problem frequently too. Not sure if there really is a fix for it. Toggling between airplane mode works for some people, reseating the SIM card, gently erasing the back of the sim card, applying 2 layers of tape to the sim card tray to keep the card seated appropriately, exchanging for a new SIM, putting phone into airplane phone and removing sim than replacing sim card, remove sim card than boot into recovery and clear cache and dalvik, etc.. yes I've tried most of these but to no avail. The OTA update may have helped a little I am not sure. Most believe it is a hardware issue that really can't be permanently fixed. If anything else is found let us know. Such an annoying problem that totally ruins this amazing phone.
There's different issues being discussed here. It sounds like you're having the issue where you need to toggle airplane or network sometimes when switching between networks or from WiFi to mobile data.
It's not device specific, there's some decent articles on it and in the early days we thought it was a Verizon issue. But it's actually a Sprint problem too I learned on accident when I was trolling their forums.
When the network is activated, on a device with a SIM card on Verizons network, the preparing SIM notification is actually describing a process very similar to *228 back in the olden days before LTE that was done when first activating a device on the CDMA network. The LTE network is different in that everytime it connects to the network is does that SIM activation process.
I know on my networks here, there's a changeover in one place it happens about 50 percent of the time.
If that's what is happening to you and toggling airplane fixes it, I think it's an LTE/network symptom and not due to a faulty device.
However I have a device I'm about to warranty with a hardware failure I'm thinking. It gets data great but absolutely no voice ever, never had an incoming call or anything. Or made an outgoing call in the month I've had it. It doesn't bother me I didn't buy this thing to talk on, but I'm donating the device so I'm going to have it fixed.
Anyway, from all the OP has posted so far, I'm not feeling like it's a hardware or device issue, however as more info develops that opinion may evolve.

U r the man Charlie. I am having an identical issue as op. And based on occurrences relevant to location it seems that this is only an issue when under 4g service-atleast for me-. Toggling airplane mode reactivates SIM as u said and restores full functionality. However, I have noticed the time needed to pass for said issue to reoccur is significantly shorter unless a full restart is preformed. If fastboot is enabled the issue persists. My question is this; if this is a network issue -which I'm sure it is at least in part- what software wise -if anything- could be going on a full restart fixes?

I'm a gsm user and I'm having the issue in a non 4g lte network. I have preparing SIM card every couple of minutes. If I toggle to gsm only mode everything is perfect, not even a single issue. Looking to the logcat, when the error comes up, it shows a message about ICCID number doesn't match stored one and then invalid radio technology. Is this software or hardware? I'm really confused. I've already tried everything from software side, kernels, radios, roms, RUU to stock.

So to make a long story short, for the past few weeks I have not been able to send sms. It happened all of a sudden and with no changes to cause it. I can send mms, receive and make calls, but no sms. Took it to Verizon yesterday with the thought in mind that I had a faulty simple card, they tried another one and nothing. Factory reset, nothing. Spent two hours watching them try tthe same things I did. Then they gave up and said to refer to samsung. My question is, is this a software issue? And will rooting and throwing a rom on do the trick? Also is there a root method for after the 4.3 update at the moment?

Check to see if you are on Global or CDMA/LTE/EVDO

I was having issues receiving MMS messages and set this from global back CDMA/LTE/EVDo and that fixed it.

Did you try a factory reset???
Hey bud... had the same issue. Over and over for quite some time (since before owning the S4).
Only real fix was to reset the phone (stock, rooted, or custom rom)... only to have it crop up later, again and again.
Last call to VZW and the girl had me swap my SIM and get a new phone, this was while I was on vacation and when I got home, the phone hard bricked on the MJ7 update. So I am not sure what is what and not even sure if it will crop up again. I haven't seen the issue for a few weeks though.
I do have a little, non scientific, theory on this.
Everytime I have had this occur that I can recall, I was traveling from my home. Maybe 100 miles or more. VZW messaging (web) never got any of the messages and the VZW rep can see the messages come into their system and the system believes it is delivering the messages. This also occured with the GNex.
I am assuming that one of two things are going on here.... something is messed up with my provisioning (and your's maybe) or there is an issue with handoffs.
A friend of mine went through the same thing until I did this:
Turn off the radios one by one including: bluetooth, mobile network, and then do airplane mode. Make sure you're on the CDMA/EvDO/LTE settings instead of global. Reboot the phone. Turn off airplane mode, and then turn on your mobile network and give it about a minute. Then try sending SMS.

Damn ... I was hoping that was the ticket. Your phone might need to be provisioned. *228 to make sure it has updated PRLs. Failing that, you may need to call up VZW.

It is a known Verizon network issue. There is people way above the front line staff working on it. They don't tell the front line staff this because since it's just limited to aosp and they only support stock, unrooted phones they tell people there is no issue. They could send you ten replacements phones and they all will do the same thing. It's not the phone, it's not the AOSP rom, and it's not your sim card. It's a bizzare issue that makes all aosp roms ever made not work in certain areas, mostly central pa but others as well. There is another xda user working directly with the engineers providing me updates. I will let you know when we find out a resolution.
Here is my thread which is for the Note 2 with the same issue. There is also links that others have posted in my thread with the exact same symptoms since 2/20/14.

Does anyone experience random losses of data connectivity? Sometimes I just can't browse the internet. If I reboot the phone, then it works. Cycling the data off and then on doesn't do it. I have to reboot. I am running stock everything, but unlocked bootloader.

Stock browser quits working on me sometimes. It won't load a page, I just click recents, close it out and reload it and it is fine.
Yeah, I'm getting the same thing. I also get the random Sim error that also requires a reboot to fix. It seems to be happening more frequently now, so I may be making a trip to at&t tomorrow.

If you take a trip, let me know what they say. I haven't gotten the SIM errors, but definitely losing data. Closing and re-opening the browser has not solves it for me.
I was thinking of trying a different ROM, but still close to stock.

Did you by chance cut down your SIM card to nano size and use it in your M8?

I didn't, mine came pre-loaded in the phone, but I wasn't getting the SIM errors, it was the person above. I looked at ROM's but couldn't decide on one. I think I will try deleting the APN, and creating a new one, and see how that goes for a while.
I'm getting the same thing.
Yes, this happens to me too sometimes when I pass by some particular area, not always but sometimes. And when this happen, it sometimes get back to Norman but sometimes it don't. I have to reboot (as you said) this don't seems to be a problem in phone but with the service provider. I losses signals in that area
And I am from India and this happens in an almost village area

Turned off all of auto update.
As I expected they first tried to replace my SIM. I was still having the data drop issue and did once again get the SIM error, even though it doesn't happen every time. I was not losing signal like this with my Nexus 5. I finally got an AT&T phone rep to send me out a new device. I could tell the reps in the warranty center didn't believe me...

I get this too. I've checked all my data settings but for some reason it doesn't always sync on mobile data. As soon as I get home on Wi-Fi I get a bunch of messages at once. Checked all my data settings can't seem to figure it out. Stock ROM rooted and soff. Att phone unlocked using on telus in Canada.
