HTC One X+ often went "offline" - HTC One X+

Helo,
my sisters HTC One X+ often went offline and then online. It is like activating the Flyngmode and deactivate it by it self.
If it happens she need to insert her SIM Pin and it is so annoying.
It is just since the last little update 1-2 weeks ago. It is not rooted or something else.
Does anyone have an idea, what i could do?
Greetings.

I've had a similar problem twice. What seems to have helped is removing and reinserting the SIM card. Maybe she dropped her phone and the card got a bit loose.

It's likely a SIM card problem, just like me. I changed the SIM card and viola, it worked fine. Do try this option out. If that doesn't work, then please quote this and we'll help you out! :fingers-crossed:

Hello,
thank you for your answers. We cleaned her SIM Card and the slot. I hope that this was the problem.
Otherwise we should try to buy an new crad?
To root her HOX+ is not sense full. You never get back the original configuration and she cant flash ROMs by her self.

Hello,
after we cleaned the SIM Card and the slot, it gets a little bit better but the problem is still there. I think we will wait for the next update which maybe fix it.
Thank you all, for your answers.

It seems to be a problem with the SIM - try another SIM and see if the problem goes, or get the SIM replaced from Service Provider...
No point in unlocking and rooting the device for the heck of it

Good idea. We will try it.

Try putting some tape on the back of the SIM card. It will make it fit the slot a little more snugly giving better contact with the connections.

Seriously what is happening with Atrix and its ramdom reboots

My Atrix start rebooting itself every 10 to 20 min. It doesnt matter what i tried to resolved. I have returned to stock, used cm 7.2 stable and other rooms and the cellphone keeps rebooting itself no matter what.
I did a fast search and I found many threads about this in the last couple months, so not old threads seems like everyone is having this issue recently and no solution yet. Many people mentioned is a problem with the radio, others say it is the sim card, or hardware problems but it is really weird that so many people is having this problem recently, isnt it?
My cellphone is exactly one year older so no more warranty for me, either way I have it unlock so i guess I voided my warranty since then. has anyone trying to contact Motorola about it or A&T, for me it is a really big deal, specially looking all the people that is having the same problem.
I will really appreciate if any of our wonderful devs here in xda have an idea of what this problem can be and how to solve it, I mean really solve it.
I had to flash a uk radio on mine to fix the mess. Sucks cause battery life is worse on the radio I'm on but better to have bad batt life than reboots all the time
Some people had random reboots caused by a faulty SIM card; it's an easy and simple thing to try and see if it solves your issue. Usually if you just walk in a store and ask, your carrier will replace your SIM card for free.
New sim card fixed my reboot problem. The AT&T store was skeptical, but they replaced it anyway... and it worked! I had the same problem with an HTC Aria, and changing the sim card fixed it. Interestingly, the Aria still randomly reboots without a sim card, but once the new sim is installed - no problem. Go figure! Since my stock ATRIX 4G won't work without a sim card, I can't try that scenario.

For someone who tells everyone that wants to listen or not how much you hate the Atrix (lol at username), you sure spend a lot of time here. It's pretty sad.

mmm I really was skeptical to try a new sim card mainly because i tried my atrix without the sim and keeps rebooting so I though that sim card couldnt be the problem, but I will try hoping that helps.
Logic will tell us that if atrix keep rebooting without sim card this wouldnt be the problem, right? So how is possible that a new sim card would be able to fix this problem (well maybe) but you still have it without sim card?
Thanks a lot for your replies.
ok I tried with a new sim card and I am still having the reboots, so the sim card is not the problem and never was. So any other recomendation on how to solve this issue? I can't belive that some many are having this problem, according to what i read, and we dotn hear anything from Motorola.
Check if it reboots when you keep it cool, try leaving it in a fridge. It's a common symptom of bga solder balls coming apart when things get hot and expand.

Seriously, stop whining on every thread. If you have nothing constructive to say, stfu. Are you this whingy in real life? Keep it up and you will never get a chance to contribute to the gene pool.
You got a dud unit, sucks for you, get a grip!
PS. If you just need a hug and sympathy, here you go, /group: hug hug kissy kissy/. We all feel for you. Better now?
PPS. It sounds like you have a CPU that is heat damaged, probably from some unfortunate flash or just bad luck. If you can't afford a new phone, buy one with a broken screen for peanuts and swap the motherboard. The Atrix is probably the easiest phone to pull apart and service that there is. (iFixit has a step by step tear down) Actually, that's the great unsung feature of this phone, it's so damn easy to work on.

Weren't some applications causing this issue as well?
I think it was Facebook.
I had the random reboot issue while using the device without a sim card. Putting a sim card in solved it. Still puzzled as to why it does that with out a sim card.
If the SIM didn't fix it, I would start looking at apps. That's something that nobody seems to realize, that apps can cause wonky issues just as bad as hardware, kernel, OS, etc... If you want to track it down, I would start with a fresh ROM-of-your-choice install and slowly add your apps to see which one is causing the issue.
@Atrix-Owner - hijacking a legitimate thread to spit your poison is pointless and juvenile. Grow up and move on - at the very least STFU. That is all. +ignore

Sim didnt fix it for me, and I already looked for every application but nothing was running that could cause this. I really think I have the faulty part for heat because the reeboots seem to happen only when the cellphone gets hot. I leave the cell phone resting and it can stay without reboot days, but as soon as I start using any game(shadowgun, engry birds) or applications (surf the web, check videos) that demand the cellphone some kind of power then cellphone will start feeling hot and will reboot.

I really was hoping it will be somethig cause by software and not hardware where a hardware fix/replace will be need. I already have another phone, a Razr, but i really like my Atrix and I want it to pass it to my sister or my girlfriend.
in cause I would want to fix it, do you think will be cheaper to buy a broken screen atrix and do the repair as you mentioned or just send my atrix to motorola to be repair or maybe any other rapairshop.
Thanks everyone for your replies.
I was mostly aiming my reply at our resident wailing wall, if you can get moto to fix your phone for you then that seems like the preferred option.

Important help needed -> Don't know if shutdown or freeze! App breakdown?

Simply putting this, i buyed a SGSII about a month ago, and since then it shutdows or freezes. I don't know what is wrong. I TRADED THE PHONE 3 TIMES!!! And all 3 times the phone has the SAME problem. It random shutdown/freeze(I don't know the difference). Theres almost 0% chance that the Vodafone store has 3 devices with teh exact same problem, when the 3rd SGSII i got(this one) is from a different package then the others....
So I ask here really kindly, who can help me if some1 already had some problem with some application I have installed. I leave here the screenshots of Google Play apps I have installed. Apart that i only have BBS.

Please understand me, I really want a phone that doesn't shutdow or freeze :/ I really need alarm for example in the morning and I can't even trust that to my phone since I can wake up and phone is just shutdown >,<
Update: Went 2 day again at the store, and they said that some faulty 4G SIM cards where causing problems(didnt specified which ones) and he traded me a new charger - This said, he told me that if problem still occurs to come talk to the sotre manager on monday...
If this helps, maybe it is causing the problem, if someone has this version of Android and reports it giving problems i would apreciate

Well, it is off course possible it's software, but if it's brandnew you shouldn't be bothered with fixing problems like these yourself I think Personally I would send it back^^

Ill take it to the store then
So I went to Vodafone and first question they made was:
Have you changed your SIM card lately?
I todl them it had ~5years or something.
They said it may be the card.
I asked if this ever hapened.
They said never...
So i asked, if it never hapened why you say its because of SIM card?
---
And that was it. They told before anything I should change SIM and test if it still shuts down...
What you guys think? Anyways I'm gonna change SIM card to 4G one, since now Vodafone is obligating every1 to change, they gonna deactivate the old ones soon... Then i'm gonna see if phone goes down...
I just seems strange the phone goes down cause of SIM card with no signal or something... Anyone knows a answer to this?
Any1 knows osomething about this?

Dude, bumping your thread every couple of hours isnt going to achieve anything other then possibly it been closed or deleted.
Firstly people will reply when/if they have something to say. Second its New Years eve, most people are busy. Only reason why I'm not is because I'm not well at the moment so resting.
A sim card wouldnt make your phone shut down, hes talking crap. Also when you say "cant unlock" do you mean network unlock? If so then use the search button, we have plenty of topics on how to unlock network very easily, most/best are a simple app you install from market.
Don't take Vodafone's crap. Demand a replacement as the one they provided is faulty from day 1.
Try without a SIM too, this will prove that is not the problem.
Take Atheists advice and don't bump within a 24hr time frame, especially today/yesterday.

Are you sure on that? Seems they don't want to simply trade the phone, and wanna keep it for tests...
Though, 2 days passed and he doesn't shuts down...
Not entirely sure as I cannot test the phone myself but for a new phone to be playing up, it's not convenient and I would want a phone that works without crashing, especially from new.

Try to take off this cover with the magnet. I think that the magnet is interfering with the hardware which then causes the phone to shut down.

Look dude, you have been told OVER and OVER again that it couldn't be the sim card causing phone to reboot. Its either your hardware like your phone or battery or its your software, ie your rom or apps installed.
Have you even bothered trying other sim cards?
Tried factory reset?
Have you tried other rom?
Have you tried other kernel?
Have you got refund and gone elsewhere?
Have you read any of the replies here or in your duplicate threads?

With all due respect it seems you don't read the replies you say you bother to answer...
1- It doesn't reboots, it just shutdowns. Thats why I say my problem isn't found elsewhere therefore doesn't seems to be a ROM problem.
2- Since I have 14 days (and not the usual 30) to ready-exchange the device trying a SIM card won't be enough, since the phone can handle random time turned on without going down.
3/4 - I already changed the phone once, so same hardware flaw would be suspicioous since phones are tested and odds of getting a faulty hardware 2 times in a row with the exact swame faulty style is like 1/1000. Especially on recent SGSII.
5- Nope, i'm hoping i'll get a talk with Samsung(not vodafone) and talk to them if the third phone come with same problem.
6- Yes I did. But as I said on point 1) it seems you didn't read mines I asked for someone that has a sim card knowledge, since phones in the past DID shutdown due to low network/loss of signal causing phones to shutdown. But as I said to the Vodafone guy, i think its strange that a new phone such as most smartphones are to shutdown cause of SIM card beeing old/loosing signal with this 4G thing. But since i traded for this new SGSII and the SAME problem is hapening i tend to beleive is the SIM. Though I already asked Vodafone to send me a 4G card and if I get the third SGSII I will try to test the full 14 days I have to see if its the SIM card thats causing something or not.
Apart all of this, if any1 faced the same problem please tell me something(most likely will be from Portugal, who knows).

You haven't mentioned changing Roms or Kernels.
This to me sounds like a software issue.
This is not a Sim card issue!!!.
It might be wrong current or voltage issues, but this being a new phone would lead me straight back to it being a software issue.
I have a Galaxy S2 for over a year and had a load of random reboots or shutdowns. It always was a kernel issue, update to the latest or downgrade to the most stable always fixed it. So my advice try to fix the software before blaming the hardware. Try different kernels, Roms and if you are still having the problem then it is a hardware issue. Flash a stock Rom back on and your phone should still be under warranty. Goodluck
BTW this is hilarious: 1- It doesn't reboots, it just shutdowns. Thats why I say my problem isn't found elsewhere therefore doesn't seems to be a ROM problem.
That sounds like a Rom or Kernel problem. First thing I would check! Are you sure that it shut downs rather than just freezing?
Also I just noticed your on 4.0.4 there is problems with the version of android

He's been advised now multiple time in multiple topics to try new kernel or rom but he just keeps simple ignoring the advise or dismissing it and seems to be convinced its his sim card for some odd reason.
If he wants to create multiple topics asking for help (have them closed/deleted) and then ignore the advise and then wonder why he still has same issues then its his own fault and his own problem.

Confused..

i am facing a strange touchscreen issue for over 2 months, my screen keeps on auto touching itself, & the strange thing about it is that it only happens whenever mobile packet data connection is on, if it is off, every thing works fine,& one more thing which is more strange is that there is one sim card with which everything works fine, no problem at all, if i put any other sim besides that sim card, it comes back again,,,,,any ideas about it,,& what i am really confused about is that is it hardware or software issue, because if it was hardware issue, it was supposed to do the same thing all the time, why is that one SIM working fine while others are not????

you should consider claiming hardware warranty. No point in wasting time. Get it replaced, or in case warranty expired, get it repaired.

I was just thinking about it, still under warranty but this thing is rooted..
Well you could take a chance by locking your bootloader, running a RUU to back to stock and using this method to changed the "RELOCKED" status in the bootloader to "LOCKED"

This method you linked to is not permanent, just temporary... if you you reboot the device, it will be relocked again. At least that's what I understood...
That's too bad.
@RishiChhikkara Have you tried running an RUU? Perhaps your radio is faulty which an RUU could fix.

RUU's are for ICS only, Where I can Find One For JB?
Could it be Kernel related ?. Also I seemed to get it less on Certian Roms but alot more on ICS Roms

Hi,
I had the same problem. Started when I put a new sim in my phone. I tried all means to figure out the problem.
Finally gave up.
The connection b/w sim and display is still a mystery.

Unavailable Sim Card

I know people have been having this issue with their DNA's from the beginning. But these past few weeks, I am getting the undetected sim card warning over 5 times a day and im starting to get pretty annoyed by it. Does anyone know if this is a ROM, Kernel, or radio issue? I was on the new Viper Sense 5 and now have gone the the GPE to see if that changes anything and it doesn't look like it does.
tape
I had the same problem on my old DNA. I read somewhere that you get a peice of masking tape and put it on the back of your SIM. Cut the excess off and put it.back in your phone it should help. It worked on mine. Before I cracked it anyway
So its not a software issue? Interesting. I will give that a try
Sent from my DLX using Tapatalk
I can't say for sure. Back when they released the 2.06 update it was supposed to have fixed the SIM problem. I remember taking the update and lost the abilitky to s-off. But it still did not help. That's when I came across that little hint on the tape and I tried it. It never messed up again.
That worked for me anyway.
If you call HTC and ask for a new sim tray then they will send it out for free. I did it and I compared the new and old one and the new ones look thicker and since putting it in I have not had one error.

hi. first and foremost. im new to forums and i apologize if this is in the wrong place but any help would be appreciated.
i have a samsung galaxy note sgh-i717. it's at&t but ive been using it on t-mobile. everything was working fine up until earlier this week. i have not done ANY rooting or customizing at all but i keep getting no sim error. this error pops up randomly a couple times a day. i have a micro sim that i cut myself but i have that sim tray thing that holds it in place so im sure it isnt a matter of the sim card sliding out of place. but i just cant figure out why this is happening. can someone,.. anyone,, please help me!??
i had the same problem a few days ago. for my fix it was the radio software needed to be changed. might work for you too.
I had the same problem and reflashed the modem and it worked.

Some people have reported luck with just replacing the SIM card and memory card reader. That didn't work for me.
I ended up buying a used motherboard on eBay for about $80 and replaced the entire thing myself. Thankfully the modular construction of the Note makes it really easy - did it in under 1/2 an hour. Problem solved.
The only thing I stupidly forgot to do is pull is backup the internal hard drive... so I ended up having to put the old board back in and pull everything off of it and then switch the new board back again. *sigh*
