Hi. Been using sense and and nonsense roms for a long time. But my phone keeps disconecting from my cellservice. Thats when i need to input my pincode to unlock my simcard. Could this be a software related issue? I cant recreate it , it just happens. Sometimes 10 minutes apart and some times a couple of hours apart. Please help. If it is hardware related i could send my phone to my carrier but i dont want to lose my phone for 3+ weeks.
Kind regards, vent

So in the same area where your signals drop or Disconnect you did swap your sim in another cell and it was working fine? make sure to use it for a day in another cell to confirm.

Hello Problem solvers
I am going to buy an HTC Amaze , but there seems to be a little problem with the network of the phone , below i have stated down the exact lines what the seller has told me. Please suggest should i buy this or not.
The seller says :
"I bought it from someone and everything was unused. I put my sim card in and it worked for a few hours then it was unable to read my sim card. My sim still works on my other smartphone, but I do not have the time to find out what is wrong with the phone. I've tried other sim cards from other phones and also did NOT work. Seems like it won't connect to the network no matter what. Maybe the phone is locked or is not able to be used for whatever reason. Everything on the phone works perfectly as new. WIFI, apps, camera camcorder, games, etc. Everything.. Just doesn't seem like it will get any signal from the service provider. Possibly someone will know what to do and can fix or modify it. Can use it like it is or take it for parts, I don't know. Comes with all original equipment: USB cable/charger, manuals, and will have 8GB micro SD card. AGAIN, THE PHONE IS NOT CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK (SERVICE PROVIDER) AT ALL."

He later adds on to his saying :
UPDATE: Actually, the phone recognizes when a sim card is in, but will not connect to the network to make a call or connect for data. I am almost sure nothing is wrong with the phone and possibly could be a problem with the network or service provider.

Has anyone experienced this before? Please let me know what should i do, The price in which he is giving it to me is very good. If there are any solutions for this problem , please mention.
Thank you forum!
Regards,
Hmmm....the phone is like a month old. It is still under warranty. Why isn't the seller getting it fixed rather than take a loss? I'd be very suspicious. It could have been reported stolen and locked down. My spidey sense is tingling.
My replacement did this, I went into network settings and chose network, search automatically and wala problem solved. But still don't hand over the green until your sure.

Could the IMEI be blacklisted?
You have to call Tmo and have them register your sim. I had same prob when I first got amaze.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA App
it might also be the sim card ... i know when i bought the amaze from the tmo store they said it will not take the sim from my old phone and that it only works with the sim card that came with the phone...
Hi. Once every few hours, my phone will suddenly lose connection for a few seconds and say "Invalid sim card", then it will connect again. It gets really annoying, especially when I'm in the middle of a conversation. Is there a fix for this?
I have this too as well as saying sim card not installed

If you used a sim cutter to cut your sim to microsim ... it may of not been done properly
If not... try cleaning the sim contact points on both sim card and simcard tray
Hope that helps

I heard abt sim card issue on some russian forum.
Its somethig you cant know exacly till you try. I mean one sim card works well, another - not. Even of same carrier.
Its about specifications of sim.
For now is only one solution is to contact your gsm operator and ask for an available sim cards and try one by one.
Had that when I bought the Razr from the Verizon store. I reset to factory and reentered my Gmail and fine ever since.
Something had not setup right the first time.

For GSM users upgrading radio will solve the issue, just take a look at developer section & find a thread : upgrading radio, radio 85P is recommended

Many thanks. it works after upgrade the radio
I have this problem now, **** this **** ****ing whore I need my phone tommorow and now the sim will not be recognized. I am on stock 2.3.6 wtf should I do?
Does this work on Rogers Razr? Mine is randomly doing this and sometimes i turn the Airplane mode and it gets fixed or restarts. So the most viable solution would be to restart the phone... After that, it's all good again. Wondering if upgrading the radio will fix this entirely.

Hello all,
I have had the no SIM issue on AT&T lately. Does anybody know how to fix this? Is it as simple as flashing a ROM or replacing SIM card or replacing the phone? I'm rooted on Hasoons Senseless QX 2.0.0. Since its basically modified stock it doesn't count as ROM change hence no fix.
Thanks,
Irish

I wish I had something else to say other than a me too, but I've been seeing it a lot myself recently. Everything I've read says that I should reseat my sim card. So I'm going to try that tonight. My local AT&T store told me that I should also reset the phone to factory defaults to solve it. Implying that some app I installed caused it.
Since I haven't rooted the phone yet, I'd be surprised if any app I installed caused it.

resetting the SIM card isn't a permanent fix, only permanent fix is put a little peice of paper between the SIM Card and the SIM tray to remove the slack and sim issue.

interesting. I'll give that a try. That brings up an interesting question though. If it's because the SIM card is physically loose, why does toggling Airplane mode fix it for me ?
The only thing that makes sense is that the SIM card comes loose, the system detects it and then puts up the message, but never checks to see if it came back.
Still, very interesting.
wow i hope that doesnt happen to me, sounds a bit worrying

yes your right that is what happening it doesn't reset itself. HTC is going to need to make some new sim card trays for everyone

I don't know what to do anymore. I started getting LoS about a month ago and no matter what ROM, Kernel I use I get it about 2-3 times a day. I have to reboot the phone to get it back. I am on stock RUU now and I am still getting it.
I don't know if it could be Verizon because I live in a big city and I get it randomly plus it only started about a month ago.
I am S-ON.
I am thinking about taking it to Verizon, but haven't decided yet. It they give me another phone, won't that come with the new OTA that is un-rootable? Or is it?
Does anyone know what might cause this LoS?
Chances are if you do take it to verizon to get a replacement the new phone will most likely have the new ota.

Yep... I got that crap for the first time... today! Had to reboot my phone to get rid of it. I'm running Viper 1.2 with stock kernel, S-Off...
I wonder if running the stock kernel in this new version of Viper Rom is the reason for my getting the LOS... I've had my phone for the last 4 months... hacked from day one.... unlocked, rooted, s-off... zero problems... now I've been on Viper Rom 1.2 since release... and now this, but NO problems with previous Viper Roms and Cubed Kernel

Possible you messed up your radio by being s-off. Have you flashed complete stock? Perhaps reflash the radio? You may just need a new sim card.

I've had no problem with my sim card at all... As far as I know... no problem with the radio either, but have only been on this new Viper Rom 1.2 for just over a week. If it does it again... I'll report, then reinstall the Rom, Kernel, & Image... and report results
Any way to test the radio or is it possibly just a fluke los? Ironically enough... it happened at the exact moment I received one of those telemarketer calls, which was blocked by call blocker... Hmmmmmm...

It's not the Rom, or the kernel, or the radio. It happens on stock unrooted too. It's a known hardware issue with the DNA. If the SIM card is inserted perfectly you'll never see the error, bit if it's not then it can cause issues. Most of which can be alleviated by reseating the SIM, but the most extreme cases require a new SIM.

What do you mean by loss of service? The phone won't recognize the SIM card?
Edit: just saw all the replies advocating SIM card fixes. I was going to say that it is a known issue that Verizon is just ignoring, but that's already been covered. Other fixes, besides replacing or reseating the SIM card, are rebooting and toggling airplane mode on and off. For PUK code locked errors, reboot the phone.

With the tool that came in your phone box, or a small paperclip, or similar item. You just insert it in the hole next to the SIM card slot.

I think my problem is even worse because I'm having tons of signal loss during a day and the message preparing SIM card appears all time. I've tried everything, roms, kernel, radios and no luck. What do you mean with resetting SIM? Taking it off back on?
Finally if i switch to 2g mode I've no signal loss at all, so I wouldn't say it is just a sim issue.

By "reseating" the SIM, I mean taking it out and *carefully* putting it back in. I have not tried this personally, but it seems to work for some people.
The most frustrating part about this problem is that it isn't manually reproducible to check if its fixed, so you can't just take the phone into a vzw retailer and show it to them, since theyll just reboot it and think that they've fixed the problem. I would recommend toggling airplane mode on and off though.

Ok so I finally fixed my charging issues with a new charger port, exact same piece as the last one, but now I'm not receiving texts or calls.
I have never rooted this phone, I have only updated it to 4.1.2, and I did a clear cache and factory reset just to make sure it wasn't a buggy app or anything. But still I get no texts or calls, and that's a major issue. I'm not sure what's wrong with it, I made sure every connection on the inside was connected. Someone please help, I can't deal with a phone giving me more issues.

I'd rather not have to deal with AT&T, their customer service has always been a pain for me to use. The network works just fine using my older phone, which is only using 3G, and it works fine on my parents' phones and they also use the Note but they've never had issues with the charge port or the network like I have. Is it just something with the new pcb that has the charge port?
Modem
Try finding the stock modem for your device and flashing it from twrp, I had a bit of a signal issue on mine earlier and that fixed it
If you are using a sim card from another phone, you will need to get a 4G sim card from at&t. Or you can deal with customer service and ask them to reprovision your sim card.

And I'm using my 4G sim in my old phone, the note came with the 4G sim.
It is the usb charge port that you replaced causing the problems. Went through 3 different ones to get one that worked. Double check that you got the grey wire connected properly also. Look for version 3 parts.
