Hello all,
I got my HTC-8525 from AT&t about two years back. Then I moved to India, I got 8525 unocked from AT&T, where I have used the phone regularly. I have even flashed some new ROMs, Radios etc.
Now, I came back to USA. I tried to use a SIM from AT&T in the phone. But when I insert the SIM in the phone and activate the phone mode from connection manager phones battery starts discharging very quickly, at the rate of 4% per minute approx. When I try to use phone without SIM in flight mode battery works OK.
Even I have replaced the battery with a new one, flashed original AT&T rom with radio and even tried couple of Radios also.
Can someone guide me, what can I do now? Is it a hardware problem?
Thanks,
Alex

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.

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.
I have 2 months old Galaxy s4. It was working fine until last night. Since last night, it automatically restarts and when it restarts it shows me 0% battery left. It started doing this when I was surfing facebook. I uninstalled facebook and it worked fine for a while. Then I tried going on whatsapp and it restarted again. Then i did the hard reset and It worked fine until I went on browser and it restarted again. Now its happening everytime I use anything on the phone.
I bought this phone from India and when I tried calling samsung support in Canada they refused to help me. Does anyone have any tips for me?
PS: When it shows me 0% battery, I removed the battery and restarted the phone and battery came back at 90%. So I dont think its battery problem.
Its even restarting now when I send text messages...driving me nuts...any sugestions??

Try removing your SIM card if you added one, and if that doesnt make anything better, then try to factory reset and flash stock firmware. If both those options fail to yield any results i think your phone might be defective.
I will try removing the sim. I have already tried factory resetting and it didnt help. What do u mean by flash stock rom?
Please pay attention to the device forum in which you seek help
There are many models of S4 and use of some software will turn your device into a $700 paperweight

I had an issue similar to this on my girlfriend's Galaxy S4 SGH-1337 AT&T 32GB. Purchased in America from Samsung.
Removing SIM card, removing SD card, removing both. Factory reset, blah blah blah - none of that worked.
What he was referring to, flashing stock ROM is using an application to force push the original software for your phone back onto your device like brand new. Sometimes this will fix defective issues in a device's software causing these malfunctions.
I did this and fixed her phone's problem completely. Try doing so by following the directions in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261573
*UPDATE: That link provides the AT&T file for flashing stock ROM. You may have to find your specific carrier and model "firmware" file. Just search the xDa forums for so. I quickly looked for a list of models/carriers firmware and didn't see them in a single list. They're available elsewhere but I support xDa and don't want to provide a link to another site.
If you don't have AT&T, make sure you find your model and carrier.
I bought it from India...brand new unlocked....which ROM should I use?
Hello
This seems to be a fairly common problem. I was wondering if anyone has a solution. My phone keeps dropping signal randomly and makes me restart to get it back. Usually it comes back in 1-2 restarts without anything changes to hardware (ie battery pull, sim pull, etc). Also, i have replaced both the sim card and the sim slot. And i have a piece of tape on my sim car to make it a little thicker.
I just upgraded my modem to mk2 and this seemed to help slow the drops but not stop them completely (have had 1 in 24 hrs). I already odined back to stock to no avail. Right now im on kitkat (gummy rom) with ktoonsez kernel and im about to change to kangakat.
Any help would be appreciated.

I had this happen with my SkyRocket, went to the AT&T Store and they replaced the SIM. Never happened again.

I had them replace my sim 2 times already. Watched them punch the card out in front of me.
Hi All,
I recently purchased this phone and I am experiencing a strange issue. I stay in India.
During long standby time like the whole night or not using for 2 hours or so. When someone calls me, it says my phone is "switched off" when I try to make calls, It never goes through. I have to restart my phone!
The signal bars are all there.
1. I tried to change band 2g/3g or just 2g, the issue still persists.
2. I factory reset the phone, still no help.
3. Change the sim card. No help at all.
CELL STANDBY takes up all my battery draining my battery by 25-30% the whole night, this is without using the phone. I am so frustrated and annoyed by this problem. I would appreciate if someone can put me out of this misery
Anyone who can help here please?

That I did not try.. I will do it today.
Any idea on why "cell standby" is eating away battery?
Sounds like your phone is trying to get network access in a loop.. are you sure this sim is provisioned? Does it work in other phones? If yes what model was it last in? What network do you use?

In that case was the bootloader and radio/modem updated when the upgrade was done?

Yes the sim works flawlessly on other phone, i was previously using a LG G4.
I went and changes the sim card yesterday, I am now observing even worse "cell standby" drain! I have not rooted the phone.
