Recently I have been having this problem where my phone will have connection to the network for about 3 hours max then it will loose service completly. Then if i try and switch to 2g only it doesnt do anything but stay without connection then i will restart the phone and it will give me the no SIM card notification and even if i try and select the network manually it will say SIM card not registered on network anyone having these same issues.
I am running JF1.5ADP with lucids apps to sd
PS I have switched sim cards 5 times and a number change and even a ban number change any suggestions before i junk this thing and get an iphone.

After that, nope. Go.
I had this happen to me once. I rebooted a few times, and Reseated the SIM card and that seemed to fix it( Although, i don't think that is what actually remedied the problem). That happened about a week ago, and i haven't had any problems since.
Running JF1.5ADP Also.
Oh, And c_low: Don't come into an Android Forum and start talking about getting an *phone. I don't think it'll get you any non flame replies.

Last night, before I went to bed, I noticed my phone lost reception. I didn't think anything of it and went to bed. Today at work, I still have no reception. Of course I checked to make sure the actual phone on comm manager was on, but it just keeps searching. I did have my phone overclocked to 273, but I dropped it to stock speed with the same results. I even did a hard reset and it does the same thing. I tried to go in an manually select a network, but it just says searching. I'm running Open Touch 3.0 Biggy. Any ideas or suggestions? I've heard that sim cards can go bad and cause this, but mine seems to be working. I can still access all my sim contacts.
Thanks,
Nevermind....
Okay, so I found someone who had a tmobile sim card, and swapped with their phone, and their sim card works in my phone, but mine won't in theirs....therefore, bad sim card. It's weird though, because I can still access my contacts though. ....off to buy a new sim card. Man, I'm glad its the card and not the phone. Waaaaaay cheaper to fix.
Hi everybody!
First of all sorry if there's already a thread for this kind of freezing but i havent found answers.
My HERMES freezes completely, won't let me access screen, power button or any other function. It just gets stuck in what i was doing (mainly today screen).
Only way to make it work is to soft reset it. Is this a common problem?
Now as i write i realized the phone ain't working, now i recall i saw a blinking NOGSM when reseting!
I got this unit from a guy in the UK, it's weird because i remember it worked when i first tested it. Then i sold it to a guy and this guy claimed problems, could it be something to do with the sim card perhaps? Can it be a hardware problem?
Haven't got a clue. I appreciate your help!
I've seen people reporting similar problems when an old SIM card is used - so the owner might want to replace his old SIM with a new one, if that's the case.
Also, check if the SIM fits securely into its socket. I was having a problem with the radio suddenly turning off just yesterday, and it seems to be gone after I cleaned the SIM's contact pads and re-inserted it firmly.
Regardless, I suggest the "standard" troubleshooting be performed - that is, disabling automatic ActiveSync via the fake server trick, making sure today plugins are installed to the main storage (and not to the SD card), checking the registry for invalid entries etc.
Overall, most freezes are because of software, not hardware. Today plugins are known to cause freezes, as well as poorly cooked ROMs. If anything else fails and the freezes are not clearly related to GSM/SIM, try reflashing the phone with an official ROM image and run it for a week or so without installing any additional software. If the freezing persists, then it might really indicate a hardware issue
thanks a lot for your reply DmytroL, that was really helpful ill let you know if replacing sim works when i actually have another sim to test it!
Keeping my fingers crossed, as in my case, SODs (standby of death) disappeared exactly when I replaced my old SIM that dates back to 2001 with a way newer one. I've had only a single radio crash since then, which I'd attribute to the Phone Today plugin. At least, no radio crashes since I've disabled that plugin. The battery drain has also decreased significantly.
I really hope the old SIM was the root cause of all this nightmare. Time will tell...
Yes you are right I had the Standby of Death SOD this is when the phone fails to come out of standby with a power button press. This issue only affects some people on some networks. I'm not sure if its a network problem or a software problem but as only a minority of people have it, I suspect its mainly a network problem there is a software solution.
The solution is to change the phone settings band option from auto 3G/2G to either 3G Only (WCDMA + UTMS 2100 in Europe) or 2G Only (GSM) depending on your requirements.
Also read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540943&highlight=standby&page=2 where the resolution was also to get a new SIM.
Obviously this only solves the problem when the crash is because of the sim and/or settings which impact the sim. To rule out a software cause its best to start with a hard reset.
The solution I found was removing the SIM card for it to work properly. I kept on reading and apparently the radio chip is sometimes badly designed (probably from a bad batch) and heats up more than it should causing it to fail. That is why it worked at the beginning and then froze after a couple of minutes. Solution to that was either paying twice of what the phone cost me to get a replacement board or actually earning money by selling the phone for spares!! For my shame in this forum i did the latter Anways hope the experience helps!

Maybe you could of just replaced the SIM itself with a new one, as sometimes that solves the SOD problem when adjusting the settings which impact the SIM ie setting 2G or 3G only from AUTO doesn't.
i´d tried it with 3 different sims and no change in the results!

I guess you didn't have the chance to set it to either 3G or 2G only from AUTO 3G/2G, on my network I have to do this to avoid SOD regardless of SIM. The default phone options result in SOD on a regular basis, now with 3G only (WCDMA + UMTS 2100) = Zero SOD and a totally stable phone.
Hey guys i have had some issues with my cell phone lately (hd2 tmous).
3-4 times a day i lose my signal completely and the only way to get it back is to restart the device. Sometimes my device even displays
I have tried using different radios as well no luck
that the simcard has been removed, i have tried everything
also it happens whether im at home, school or work, i live in an area that gets great reception so that should not be the problem.
messing with the band to keep it at gsm only
reverted back to auto
removed and replaced sim card
hard reset, new rom, stock rom, i always task29 before new rom as well
does this happen to anyone else, any ideas on what the problem may be?
A factory reset with formatting the memory is on the cards I think

i just received a new sd card and it used to happen with my old formatted one, im not sure that would work? although it wouldnt hurt to see if it happens without the sd card in it.
It happens to me. Maybe a few times a week, though it will regain signal after a minute or few minutes. Sometimes I toggle the phone option off/on. Maybe that helps or maybe not. Rarely do I have to power down the phone, though I have done it a couple of time when I'm in a hurry.
It used to happen more often with the stock ROM from April of this year. Since I've upgraded a couple of times, it's gotten better. Hopefully the latest 3.14 ROM has fixed it some more.
have you complained to tmobile??? Maybe you need a new phone.

Browsing between topics of the H2 this one came to my attention.
I have exact the same issue! I also had it with my htc diamond. I moth ago when I received my HD2 (non branded) I thought it would be over. But no. it keeps losing signal. Freakingly annoying. I called tmobile (Netherlands sins i am from the Netherlands) and they would send me kindly enough a new sim.
But still…. The same issue.
I also did a hard reset, new ROM (cant go back to 1.33) and tried another phone. I gather it is a htc issue and some bad luck.
I didn’t had the error sim removed.
ok so i went about half a day with the sd card out and when i woke up this morning no signal again.
I gave t-mobile a call and explained to them what was going on. I was transferred to a pda/smartphone specialist, although i would say that any xda community member was more knowoledgeable than this rep. Anyway she asked me a couple of questions said there were no known issues and that i will receive a replacement phone and sim in 7 days and to return the old one phone. Hopefully with the new phone and sim i wont have this issue, im guessing they think its a hardware related problem. It bugs me that cheap crappy phones have no problem holding a signal and my top of the line hd2 does but lets hope had a faulty connection or something.

Your problem (most likely) lies with a bad combination of Rom and Radio.
I know you have tried several radios, but you simply missed the compatible one.

see my posts in that thread.
apart from my provider having problems every now and then, I have not lost my connection again after flashing the right Radio.

i have tried both the 2.13 stock rom radio and then the stock 3.14 combo both did not work.
resolved
received the new phone 3 days ago, so far have not lost service. It must have been a hardware issue with my phone. im using the same radio rom as the old phone except no signal loss, for anyone who is having the issue it may be worth calling tmobile to exchange your phone for a new/refurbished one.
Hey xda techies and guru's, i need some major desperate help here...
This is going to be a long read, but its for the sake of understanding and what exactly is happening, I hope you read on and hopefully have an idea as to what's going on.
So i've been a Rogers customer for the past 7 years, i've been using the Galaxy S3 for 4 of those years using the same SIM card. Just recently, I decided to upgrade and purchased a Galaxy S5. I put my new sim card in the S5 and everything was working flawlessly for about 2 months and then one morning I was sending some texts out, and didn't receive any all day so i checked my texts and realized they did not send. I then tried to make a call and got a message stating "not registered on network". So being the troubleshooting/techy guy i think i am, i go to google and start trying every solution out there. I got so desperate at wanting to fix this issue i had eventually factory reset, and even stock rom flashed the phone...but nothing i tried or did seemed to fix this issue. I put my sim card back in my S3 and it seemed to work just fine, so I figured nothing was wrong with the sim card, it had to be the S5...so here i am out of solutions to try, i randomly grab my brothers sim card from his phone and put it in my S5, and to my surprise it worked! so i thought that maybe the sim card was actually at fault. so i go to my nearest rogers store and get a new sim card, low and behold it's fixed!!!
...a week later, my phone decides to repeat the same ordeal. "not registered on network", so i go back to rogers and get a new sim card again, seems like it fixed the issue once again. and then a week later, same thing happens yet again. at this point...my phone has a temporary fix, but is way to unreliable as i have no idea when this starts happening and can miss very important phone calls or texts. So now this happens again the other night, and i put the sim into my S3 for a couple hours, make some calls and then for the heck of it decide to try it in my S5 again, and it worked! but it worked for maybe 16 hours until repeating the same thing. so i pop it back into my S3 make some test calls, and put it back into my S5 and now it's working again...for how long, i have no idea...fact is it's unreliable and i hate always having to check my phone in paranoia that this may happen again.
what do you guys think is the problem here? Rogers is willing to help me get it serviced for free. but i feel like they won't find the issue with the time they are given with it...
desperate need of help/advice. thanks!
Just picked up one of these phones. Really like it so far! One issue I've noticed though, after a few days of ownership, it's randomly dropping/not detecting the sim card? It's happened at least twice where I've left it to charge over night and woke up to the no sim icon, and yesterday at some point while I was watching YouTube videos in full screen (in my hands, off charger, no notice of the drop either whenever it actually occurred). Quickly popping the sim tray out and in resolves the issue. At first I thought it was because I was using a manually cut sim card, so I've since replaced the sim but the problem persists.
Anyone else have this issue? Should I have the device exchanged?
Thanks
First the phone froze and after restart dropped sim
I just had the same issue occur just now. The phone had frozen for over an hour before I did a forced reset and now when it started back it shows no SIMCARD and no connectivity. I am like you, I really like this phone but hopefully this isn't a permanent issue.
Watched it happen just now. Goes from bars to no sim icon without error or notice. Resetting the network settings, resetting the phone, and powering it off/on won't fix it. Literally have to pop the sim in and out and its recognized right away.
I lost sim recognition after I flashed to LOS 11/30 and no matter what I tried, phone would not recognize the sim. Once I flashed back to stock, it came back. Hopefully this was due to the rom and the problem won't come back.
I am not sure if I lose the SIM, but I will say that when I am driving around with Android Auto, I constantly see the cell signal go from LTE to no signal every couple minutes...

Had same issues when I flashed back to stock I actually have better signal than when I got it out of the box.... Almost as if the software wasn't installed correctly or something
Same here I'm on the stock room. I'm wondering if it is an app I downloaded. Any idea how to wipe cashe not the apps but system.
This is happening at least twice a day now. It seems to be software related. Power off and on without taking out sim fixes it.
