for the last 4 or 5 days I been having problems with my phone. If im in a edge network and travel into a 3g area the phone will not change unless I do a soft reset. I was running Run_Keys rom and VP3Gs rom. and even went back to stock rom and still the samething. AT&T said sounds like the phone. Im thinking it might be the sim card. This phone was just replaced under warranty less than two weeks ago. The old phone worked fine except the E key was not working. I was going to stop at the AT&T store and get a new
3G sim card.
Also where can I get the dial pad skin from Fun_Keys rom. I found his background. I can not find it. Im thinking of sticking with Wm5 for awhile until I know the phone is working.
Thanks
If you got a new phone 2 weeks ago and that's when the problems started, the problem is with the new phone.
I stopped at the AT&T store this morning. They replaced my old 3G sim card with a newer one. The new phone will be here tomorrow. I will let u know how it goes.
after 3 exchanges they can change u out for a kaiser.. its a no-lemon policy.

i tried my duo simcard, 1 new duo simcard (tmobile sendet me a new pair) even with a other provider, same problem
maybe its a pda not a mda and the phone buttons are for nice lighting???? and even storage compartment for a simcard so you cant lose it and can put it in a real phone for calling????
i think you all dont have these problems??? provider signal 80-100% (but frozen). now i sent it back to my shop for refund (i hope) its costed me more then 2 new phones... i quit, i dont know what to do next, maybe i nice tap with a hamer????
good luck to you all.... a ex htc customer
Dear Mrijnvis,
TyTn is a powerful neat little toy, just its phone application sucks.
My problems, identical with yours, went off when I stopped traveling (job change, christmas time) and switched to GSM only.
Probably they will pick up again some time soon, but I will be trying to keep the device, hoping that the problem will be eventually fixed. I originally planned to exchange the device, but after reading your post I decided not to (I need my toy every day!), and I am thinking it is rather a software than a hardware problem.
By the way, I am not a talker, so occassional lack of signal actually helps me. I am working on my colleagues to use email rather than calling.
In two days I am switching to a prepaid SIM card (no PIN) and will maybe observe some change in phone behaviour. Will be posting here with anything potentially interesting.
i use only gsm because in auto mode with umts its even worse.
sotware problem, i tried 4 different rom version, even south african version no diference
i have a t-mobile sim card but even with kpn sim card same problem.
i think it must be hardware problem.......
Well i called in and am having cingular send me a replacement 8525 because mine keeps freezing and acting stupid. So im wondering if anyone has done this and if they send you a quality product and not just some crap?
I just received mine and it was fine, worked great.

I have done it 2 times with my wizard. Have not had to yet with my 8525. They just send you the phone only. No back, no battery, no sim card, just the phone.make sure that you take out your sd card and sim card and you have to make sure you have wm 5 on it. If they see wm 6 and it is unlocked, they will charge you for the phone.Takes about 1 day. very fast. They give you 10 days to return it.
thanks for the replys.. cant wait to see if mine works good.. I had to return a razor to them like 3 times till they upgraded my phone to a brand new one.
Recently, on a fully functional ROM (no names so as not to scare people away from it), my mytouch stopped connecting to tmobile, ie, it always had no bars. Naturally, I thought there was something weird going on with my ROM, so I swapped it out for a previous version that I knew worked. After that one also couldnt connect, I moved to cyanogen's latest stable, and still no signal!!
After a while, I decided on a full reset and flashed sappimg.nbh, only to find that the stock ROM also can't connect!!!
My question to the community is whether or not my radio is having issues, and maybe some advice on what I can do if you think it isn't, as I'm stuck in setup on the stock ROM because I cant connect!!
EDIT:I'm just going to go talk with T-Mobile tomorrow, see what happens, maybe i'll get the new one with a 3.5 mm headphone jack!!
Mods, please delete this thread if you can
try taking out the SIM card, wipe clean the contacts and put it back in again.
I had the same issue and eventually I had to replace my SIM.
Agreed, you have a bad SIM, take to Tmo store and they will swap for free.
I had this happen on mine and my wife's died 1 week later. She is on stock and I use CM.
Thanks guys, I tried basically everything (including swapping my SIM for my mom's), no luck!! Taking it to the store today, getting a replacement or maybe an upgrade!
Hi.
Yesterday when I woke up my phone couldn't pick up signal. I thought it was because of the heavy rain but now its still not picking up a signal. I flashed the stock rom and it could get signal some times but the problem is that it wont stay connected. Like when the phone goes into standby and you turn it on it loses connection again. I am now running the newest tabtastic chuckyrom. It only picks up signal outside but it loses it like every couple of minutes, and then takes a minute or two to connect again. Does anyone have any suggestions?
flash a radio?? 2.12 maybe? works great for me
Ok. Im gonna try that and tell you how it goes.
Ok. i have tried it and it still doesnt work. Im goin to flash the stock rom back.
edit: The flash rom is on and off with the connection.
I don't know if you're using one since you're on AT&T but the SIM card can affect that if it is old or getting worn out. Replacing it will help if that's the issue. Happened to me a couple weeks ago.
Ok. I went and got a new sim and its working ok inside but could be better. I just listed it on ebay and I will use my touch pro 2 until this sells and i get another one. But thanks for the help. Oh I also call HTC and they told me it would take a month to fix or send a replacement and that if the atennae failed that it isnt covered by the "Limited Warranty" so i would have to pay.

I'm in the U.K. and have the sim error problem. Phone has never been rooted always on stock.
1st occurrence within 3 months ownership but it got to a point, after a week, where it always read no sim even after restart. Samsung warranty repair changed mother/main board.
Phone was dropping calls after the warranty repair so went back to Samsung. Warranty repair 2. Changed 2 wires, don't know which ones. But now phone was working fine.
3 Weeks after repair 2, the screen went black. I could still hear all tones etc but no screen so can't answer calls (most basic function of phone). Samsung put new screen and another new main/motherboard. So now this is the 3rd mainboard. Phone came back on 2/10/14 after the repair. After 2 days I have again got message about 5 times at a time but restart is solving it for now.
So I think the problem lies in the faulty mainboards Samsung are manufacturing. Why? Because my 1st board failed and eventually always had the message no sim inserted. The engineer report said main board was changed. If it was too do with a faulty sim tray then wouldn't they have fitted one of those instead. 2nd board worked fine even though calls were dropping. This board was in phone for 3 weeks until screen got changed so I'm presuming had to change board along with screen. The latest main board which is apparently new has lasted 2 days. Like I said above its only happened a few times so far but I rather it happen all the time so I can send it in again.
I have spoke to Samsung UK escalation and they said if I require another repair then they will take it higher up but even with an exchange what is there not to say new/refurbished S4 wont be faulty down the line.
What is Samsung doing about this, absolutely nothing. My worst ever experience with a phone and I got a s 1,2,3 which all still work not even a glitch. Will buy another phone but keep fighting for a resolution with this one. Still has 17 months warranty.
