Hi people,
My first post and unfortunately for a big problem...
I entered into a subway this morning and lost the sign (normal, of course) but now more than 10 hours later I still have no service, it shows the antenna and a ! next to it only.
I have tried the following:
- On commanager, The flight mode is NOT ON and the phone mode IS ON.
- Soft reset
- Hard Reset
- Tested the SIM card in a different cellphone, works OK.
- Tested a different SIM card into my P3600, no service.
It can't even find the a network when I set it to manual.
Please, any help can be useful...
thanks!

try coming out of the subway
but seriously it sounds like it's knackered. Could try re-flashing the firmware.
another thought. Have you tried a sim card of a different mobile operator in the 3600 ?
Yes yes, lol, I forgot to tell that I came out of the subway...
Anyway, I think all I can do now is try reflashing. I have the original ROM 1.15.405.5...
I have just finished the reflashing and after all I still having the same problem... no phone service... My SIM card is working fine when I test it in my old motorola phone...
Anyone else have an idea??
thanks...

It really sounds like you've been methodical and covered all the possibilities. I hate to say it, but it may be time for the service center or retailer if they would take it back. The good thing is that you got your original ROM back on the thing so they can't complain about that. Good luck.
have you tried a different network operators sim card in the phone?
the phone's imei could have been barred from your current operator.
Yes, I have tried a SIM card from a different carrier, didn't work.
I'm sending it tomorrow to Teleservice in Germany (is it a good repair company?) to fix it up, let's see what happens.
Thanks guys!
good luck.
Hi guys, I'm back. I sent my P3600 for fixing and they replaced the mainboard and works fine.
But, when I lose the sign the phone just take forever to restablish it. Today I came out of the subway again and the phone din't get service and I had to soft reset it...
And thats what happened the day before I sent it to repair... I fell like it's going to happen again!
Try to take another road.

If i were you i'd start taking the bus!!!
Yes yes, your suggestion is valid... lol, but I'm serious, I don't know why I need to soft reset the device every time I lose service... that is annoying!
How many second a HTCP3600 need to find service when you turn it on or do a soft reset? I mean, what can be considered a normal behavior?
When I turn it on, it stays with the "!" for about 5 minutes and only after that time I get service... but sometimes I get no service at all....
I got in touch with Teleservice in germany, which replaced my mainboard, to see if they can give me some advice before I need to send it overseas, again, for repair... or replacement if possible!
If someone have an advice I would apreciate...
Thanks!

I always get a service within 5 seconds or something.. So there is definately something wrong with your device/simcard/provider.

Well you know what they say ,he laughs best who laughs last,anyway ,what you described happened to me as well ,yesterday i too was using the subway here in Athens and when i got home about five hours later i noticed that i had no phone service just an exclamation mark,i siftreset the device and the signal came back.
I have a tmobile wing and I had it for awhile but just started using it again recently but when i put my sim card in the phone and turn it on it just keeps saying Searching...
I get service for like 2 minutes then it would just go away. This would happen when I leave the sim in the phone, it would get service once in awhile, like for 2mins every 2-3 hours, but never consistently.
My sim card works perfectly on other phones and when i insert a friends sim card into the wing it still has the same problem, it keeps saying Searching... I don't think its a problem with the sim card since it works fine with other phones.
I tried soft reseting it and hard reseting it but it still seemed to have the same problem. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be or what I can do to try and fix it?
what radio rom does your phone have and what rom are you using?
you can check your radio rom by going to settings>system>about ( i believe). If not that, then settings>system> device info.
also, if you don't know what rom you're using, it's probably the stock rom.
It might also be that the particular spot you are in is just unlucky for reception and that other phones have better reception by design.

It says Radio version: 02.83.90
And i believe it is the stock rom since i never changed it or anything. and I doubt it is the area because I tried using it in several other towns.
anyone have any idea what could be wrong?
p4350
well on my p4350 over the past 2 weeks i have been receiving little signal like every 5 - 7 hours i mite get it for a bit but only for a sort time. i was wondering if it needs its radio updating?
any help?
Hi, I just want to share my story. maybe it could help you out.I had a wing for more than a year now. recently it had the same problem. it just don't have any signal at all, just keep searching. I tried what you did before. hardreset, softreset, and update the firmware. Nothing helps. since my phone is out of warranty, i can't send it to t-mobile. So i went to a local repair shop. They told me it could be hardware problem. I paid $50 to get it repair and no problem since. I don't know what they did, maybe replacing something inside. So don't just look at the software side, it could be hardware problem.
I have the exact same problem, and it's really pissing me off.

what kind of repair shop was it?
Hi!
I was sitting down and cleaning my display with a fiberclouth that was in the case with the screenprotector. I was not using any hard preassure or anything.
When I was finish cleaning the touch function don`t work anymore! It does not respond to any touch, but hardware keys work perfect.
I have tryed hard reset also.
The mobile works great when I am using it trough MyMobiler with my computer.
Anybody who has experience somthing simular?
Hope the I can return it. It is under 2 months old!
Well contact HTC directly, just say your Touch screen doesn't response anymore and they should help you! I hope all goes well GL.
I had the same problem. I contacted HTC and they gave me the address of the local service center. The techician replaced the screen and the repair cost was covered by the warranty.

Ok!
I have sent my device to my local service center now!
Hope they will fix it fast! How long time did you wait, and do you know what exactly they fixed?
I waited 3 days. They replaced 3 parts: SUB-ASSY, LCM, LEO.
I asked them what those parts are and they said it's complete LCD with touch panel.
Hey, yesterday i got the same problem.
Seems to be that there is an hardware-error?
I send my phone back today to get a new one, or, to get the repaired one. (last would be nice because i forgot to backup my contacts )

Sorry to tell you this, but even if it is the same phone, they're 99% sure to do a factory reset before sending it back.
Finally I got my phone back!
They have replaced the LCD, touchpanel and some small parts.
It took a while, but I bought the Nexus one after I sent my HD2 in. Funny to test it, but when I recived my HD2 yesterday, I remembered why this is my primary phone! =)
I just love the LEO!!!!
Let`s hope that this problem I and a couple of others have had is not a common hardwear problem!
NONONONONO!!
When I tryed to take a picture now, the blitz don`t work.
It is the first time since I recived it from the repair I tryed the cam, so it must have happend there!

Hey there, i have a problem with my HTC Magic. I have had it in about 2 months, where it worked fine. Suddenly it couldn't get a signal to a network. When i try to connect to my network it says "Your sim-card dosen't allow a connection to this network" can anyone help me out with this? I've got HTC Sense on my mobile.
Same issue with stock Donut
I too experienced the same problem when traveling through Atlanta airport. This was a stock MyTouch Donut. After arriving at my next destination my phone worked once again.
I have initially rooted my phone today with Cyanogen latest. I am looking for the fastest ROM I can find without all the bells and whistles. After finding said such, I will be updating my radio.
I have had other strange issues with the radio on this phone. T-MO support suggested replacing the phone. However, I don't think the phone is the problem it's their lack of bug fixes.
I've got the same problem, 2 different sim cards on 2 different networks and both are showing no service and not finding any networks, but both are working in my old Nokia E65. Strangest thing, I checked my email over 3G earlier today, an hour later no service and has not changed since. Tried everything I can think of; nandroid restore, hard reset, safe mode, checked the testing menu. Only thing I haven't done is unroot and return to stock. It's funny, I always knew something would go wrong with this phone... Womans intuition maybe?
Willing to try anything that anyone has to suggest so I don't have to send it back to vodafone!
yea, i've tried everything too, at can't get it to work! - hope someone got a solution to this!

Well I called HTC and got the name of their authorised repairer in Australia (currently on an extended holiday visiting family here), so I unrooted and returned to stock but the issues haven't changed, so I guess we can nail down that it has nothing to do with the rom itself. The repairer did hint at a motherboard issue, but as I was playing the dumb blonde at the time I didn't push it too far until I send it off. It's just painful, I've searched and searched for a fix but most people seem to be able to find a network after a reboot or by simply waiting it out. 24 hours without my Magic being able to function in it's primary use, as a phone. This is very very poor.
I have had the exact same problem, so I unrooted and all. send it in for repairs. and all Vodacom(South Africa) told me was that they replaced the main board.luckly its covered by the warrenty. hope it helps..

Thank awesome to hear its a simple fix, but not so great that it's not a totally rare incident. I'm waiting til all the fuss of Easter is over to send my poor baby off to be fixed, but in the mean time I've bought a Hero so I'll never have to go back to my Nokia E65 again. I'm wondering, as there are other Magic owners with the same problem, is this an issue with just the Magic, or all HTC devices?
hey i still have the same prob with my 32b
i will do a radio update,
will see if it's fixed then,
if not i try to unroot
This has to be almost a year old lol.
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
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.
