Heya so it all started about a month ago when my phone would suddenly loose connection to cell tower, the only way to fix it was to reboot the phone, but now since a week or so, i cannot get anymore signal no matter what i do (signal icon next to battery percentage stays at 0 bar and a little x on top left of it), rebooting does not help and even doing a factory reset did nothing, i went to local bell store, one of the seller tried my sim card into his personal phone and it worked. They suggested that i go to a repair store. I did not drop my phone since forever, although it did heat up quite a lot about 3 months ago (charging under a pillow while running a video, it was hot to touch in the morning).
I was wondering if its a common issue or if anyone got an idea whats going on, im thinking itt might be a hardware issue with the transreceiver or whatever its called.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Ok what the hell, it just came back after over a week, rebooted a dozen time but this time it fixed it, for now.
Although with the new work contract i work in an area with very high magnetic field at specific spot (400000 or 600000 amp of power going tru the building), like some hand tool would would hold straight up in the palm of my hand and even my versaflo respirator would go crazy, passed a dozen time in such field with my phone in pocket, maybe that helped?

Hi there; Could do with some help please I seem to have a series issue with my Samsung Galaxy S2 today. It started this morning; I noticed the screen was randomly turning on; for no reason what so ever. It only does it when the phone isn't charging, if the data cable or the charger is plugged in; it doesn't do it.
Its on version KE7. I have tried a factory reset, and that hasn't sorted the issue. Therefore I seemed to think it was a hardware fault, however with it not being an issue when plugged in I wondered why it might be doing it.
Tap to speak also kept coming up for no apparent reason, I say kept coming up, doesn't happen all the time, but did come up about 6 times today, when I hadn't pressed anything, which would suggest the bottom centre button could be stuck or sticky, however that seems fine; and its not been near any moisture and has been a hot day.
The phone has not ever been rooted; so no issues there.
The phone battery dies very quickly within about 4 hours with the screen turning on all the time; and the phone will randomly freeze up completely, and I have to remove the battery to reset the phone.
Anybody got any ideas? Really could do with some help
Thanks

Update: It is plugged in charging now; and the MTP Application has come up; like the data cable is plugged in. That seems very odd to me...
Don't be afraid to send it back. These things aren't cheap even if you're paying through your contact, you're entitled to get what you paid for.
Your specific issues may be down to more than one thing. My screen lights up when I've read my gmail on a different device and it needs to clear the notification. Nothing too worrying about that. The other stuff does sound like some sort of shorting though and people have been given replacements for less serious issues.
I'm tempted to get mine swapped because the wifi often won't pick up an IP address and the gps won't get a fix if the phone gets too hot. Relatively minor compared to your issues.

Yeah I think its going to have to, I've tried playing about with settings, giving it time to cool down; pretty much everything I can think of, I really can't think what it could be, it seems to be many issues rather than just one, with it only being a month old, I expected slightly more.
Love the phone, did brilliantly yesterday; used it for lots of things; then today it just suddenly went, took it of charge, and it played up the whole way through.
Given up with it now, will take it back and see if I can get it fixed, I have 24 month warrenty with my contract.
Thanks
Put your original firmware back on if you can before attempting a warranty claim .

I got a radar for free from work, had it for a month or 2 and something funny started happening. Whenever it takes a little tap in the wrong place or i put it in my pocket it turns off. I opened the phone up and completely took it apart and put it back together again making sure that every clip and screw was in place, and the same thing still happen. I'm just curious as to why something like this would happen. And what i mean by a tap i mean a TAP ...like putting my phone down on my desk when i get home causes the phone to shut off. Any help appreciated thank you very much
Just exchange it
^^Agree^^
I agree with MJCS best course would be to get it replaced. My best guess as to the actual problem would be the sim cover malfunctioning. The soim cover has several contacts that when interrupted will shutdown the phone.
me too
Hi hitman21888,
I'm experiencing the same on my HTC Radar, bought about 3 months ago. It's in waves though. When I just got it, it switched off randomly for a week or so, sometimes even 5 times per day, after which the problem disappeared by itself. 3 months past, and last week it started again. Since yesterday the problem disappeared again, yesterday and today the phone kept on during the whole day, so I think it got better again.
When it has this sickness, a hard tap on the screen or putting it FIRMLY on the table makes it switch off, and it switches off by itself aswell. When it's healthy again, tapping or putting it on tables doesn't make it switch off.
I've called HTC on this and they basically didn't recognise the problem, just advise me to do a hard reset. Did it - didn't help.
Have you found out anything?
Has anyone started or has had issues with the V10 becoming progressively non-responsive?
My wife and I both have the V10, mine being recently replaced due to what looked like memory corruption as icons started showing as grey blocks randomly even after a restore from my pc. Hers is starting to exhibit multiple of the same issues plus more even after a restore from pc:
Not powering on requiring battery pull
No longer accepting double tap to wake/sleep
Icons starting to become grey blocks
slowness to responses
Phone calls are not coming through at times
Verizon has replaced my phone but the fact that hers is starting to show the exact same issues has me wondering if there is a bigger issue to these phones. My new phone has started to show the issues of double tap not responding, there is not an app that is causing wakelock or draining battery. I don't have unusual apps loaded on either phones and have tried going a few days fully stock and it is still exhibiting the issues.
If there is, is there anyway to get Verizon to move us out of these phones if it continues as I'm not going to have a phone that is going to constantly have issues.
after they replace it 3 times you can generally negotiate a different model.
My family's two V10s are starting to show their age. Okay, my wife's crapped out last week so it is definitely aged. The phone got really hot, drained the battery, and kept rebooting. Then it got locked into an eternal bootloop. The only way I got it to boot was to put it in the freezer. I had connected a cable to it and was able to get most of the data off running the cable out of the freezer to a laptop. I still have some other stuff to recover. Hopefully the freezer trick works again.
But now my V10 is having radio issues. It switches between 4G, 3G, and 1x constantly. I'll be in a location that I know has a 4G signal and pull out my phone only to see 1x. The other day it wouldn't find the GPS signal if it was plugged in. Time to backup my data and see if Vz will replace it.
Sad thing is that I declined the insurance coverage. So once my 1 year warranty is up I'll have to buy a new phone. Easy come, easy go.
You can still add insurance to the lines it's never to late. When one customer service rep says no hang up and call again and it doesn't hurt to play stupid and nice. For some reason they do what you ask if they feel smarter then you and I.

My v10 started running hotter than normal and my battery drain was more. I replaced the old battery with a new one and the problem seems to have gone away. In my case I think the battery was getting too hot and was making the phone run hot and unresponsive.
Kickin' it on my VS990
Hey
This is my first post and I don't know if this is the right thread or not so I'll just cut to the chase
So I have Sony XPERIA C5 Ultra E5553 for half a year now.
On July 6th 2017, My phone just shutdowns and really hard to boot. I noticed that maybe my battery is getting disconnected in some sort of ways. (Because while charging the LED light is RED while it's even fullcharged)
So on the 7th of July I send it to the warranty Service Repair SONY Philippines.
For almost 3 months of waiting I got my device back last September 28 2017 (talk about really slow repair progress)
I noticed that my phone is Updated to the latest Android Version Marshmallow.
Upon inserting my sim card I noticed that it kept on showing the sim card logo on top even though I already restarted my device. I leave it that, arriving back at home I noticed that my signal bar is empty. Before giving my phone to Service Center my phone can generate 3 signal bars in GSM mode which I always use for battery purposes. So I restarted my device with same result the SimCard logo is back on top.
Pissed, I restarted my phone for 4 times noticing that sometimes the Sim Card logo is replaced with empty signal bars (which I said Supposedly have 3 bars).
Upon my curiosity, i tried to type the *#06# and upon my discovery my IMEI number is missing and replaced with NULL.
I tried to contact SONY for why did that happened but sadly no response.
After a few hours I noticed that my phone will pick up signal full bars on GSM, 3G and LTE and checking my *#06# my IMEI is now back. (On some location which have REALLY high signal)
Even right now, I tried to restart my phone again always the same having no IMEI for almost 1 hour then after and hour the Signal will appear strong. Moving in different places where signals are a bit low it goes blank and will never receive anymore signals even I moved back to high signal areas.
I'm having 3 theories,
A. Sony sabotage the repairs because I kept messaging them to speed up the process (because it took them 3 months to replace a battery where I can do in few hours). PS. They even broke our sony sound system when we send it for repairs last 4 years ago.
B. The Marshmallow update because sometimes the screen stutters occasionally. And because, I have an old phone that I updated to different ROMs that sometime FIRMWARE affects Hardware functions
C. My phone is broken and I need a new one which I can't afford because I'm not even done paying the credit on my Xperia.
For anyone will kidnly help please help.
Because if not, a few days from now SONY will soon receive a tons of message coming from me using my hundreds of Accounts just to spam them to replace my device.
Good day and I really hope I posted this on the right thread.Sorry for the Long story really need to remove this from my chest
Ok I've got a pretty specific issue that just happened yesterday. I left my mi 8 lite on top of my car by accident, when i came out a few hours later I picked it up and saw an overheating message(which is actually strange because the car was well in the shade and it was a high of 70 yesterday). Anyway, after 15 minutes or so I realized i had no lte, so I powered it off for about an hour thinking that maybe letting it "cool down" even though it was even really hot to the touch. No dice, so I pulled the sim out for a few minutes then put it back in. Tried doing some google searches with specific terms and nothing came up. Anyone ever had anything like this happen? I figure I might get a new sim but I'll ask on forums before going to the store. Phone works 100% the way it did before the incident besides the loss of mobile data(calls text ect work)
