OK, so for the second time in a week my X10 has no data connection at all. NONE! Last week I was on the phone with Rogers Tech and went through all the blah, blah, blah of trying; soft reset, hard reset, checking VPN settings etc etc... Nothing worked so I had to do a factory reset which as you know is a major PINA! Had to reinstall all my apps (thank god for MBUP) and of course set up everything else all over again.
Got up today with full charge, performed soft reset, as others have suggested to try and extend battery life and when I turned it back on....no data. Now tech is saying to try my sim in another device to ensure there is no problem there, and if there isnt they will send me another phone. Well thats all fine and dandy except I just put on my ZAGG sheild so of course ill have to buy another one which means im out $25.
Has anyone else had similair problems with dropping conections?
I feel that I have the worst luck with cell phones imaginable. This is my 8th phone inside a year. Believe it! So frustrated.
hmmm no one else experiencing any similiar problems?? I got a new sim card and Ive just done another factory reset, got data back, restored all my apps, soft reset = no data again.
Is it possible that one of the apps I have is messing with the network? Rogers is sending me a new phone either way. I cant believe my luck. Very frustrating.
tried another reset = data on. did not install advanced task killer, or ultimate defender and it still works fine. Power off and on again = no data???
Anyone have an idea of why this might be happening?
I'd try installing the apps slowly.. one thing at a time.. and also with any customisation you might make to settings.. see what point causes you the problem.. I've not heard of anyone else having this problem.. The other thing..could it be your micro SD card? have you tried reformatting that? Not seen anyone else say that they have these problems.
I would say your best bet is to return the phone since rogers is covering it. If your getting no data, then that's clearly a problem. And I'm pretty sure you can just peel off the zaag shield from your phone. Start with a corner an just keep pulling, it doesn't rip so your good there. And when your new phone comes.. just put the same shield on again (assuming you still have your spray solution for it).
Hello everyone i have real problems with my phone now, i cant call out or even text message.
I have tried different Sim-cards and try to update it, i think i tried everything now,
I have full signal bar and the network is found.
Some strange thing is if i try Wap "surf" it all goes smooth ,
my suspicions lead electrodes that there is something wrong in the boot loader. But now I botched gone warranty paper and desperately need help here!
Hi
Try this if issue is with loader it will get resolved. But if its hardware issue then u have to go to sony.

Hi guys,
Tried searching for my problem, but though I found some similar stuff, noone had quite my problem.
I was checking my Nexus S after a trip and it was with the 'emergency only' message. This sometimes happens to me, not sure if it's due to the roaming activation or caused by a bug where the radio subsystem crashes after a long period without network.
Anyway, I proceeded to my common solution: Turn off and reboot.
Except that after the phone was off, it would not turn on.
It doesn't even vibrate. It doesn't show anything when connected to the wall socket or to the computer. It's just completely dead.
Now, I'm not even sure if this is a hardware or software problem. Any idea on how I can debug this?
Here's what I've tried:
1. Take the battery out: no changes (even tried leaving it out overnight).
2. Charge the phone overnight: no change.
Next step: I'll go to a store and try a different battery... meanwhile I'm without my primary phone which sucks... Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!
Try booting your phone into the bootloader. Hold the power button and volume up button simultaneously.
If it is not the battery, i can see what else you can do, a "dont turn on" phone is a dead end...

Guess I'm screwed... I had some pics and other data there... anyway I can get it back? i.e. is there a way to remove the internal sd card?

Was this tried? Cause if that works there's hope for you yet.

Yup, it was one of the first things I tried. No sign of life... I can't get a single sign that the phone is even being powered. It's like the battery was taken out.

Sounds like something is wrong with the hardware then. Have you brought it the store? Might need to get a new one on warranty.
I have the same issue with my old Blackberry 9000. It worked fine up until I stopped using it. Left it in a drawer for a few months. Went to sell it to Sprint. Wouldn't turn on. No LED, no nothing. Worked fine months before when I was still using it. To this day I have no idea what's wrong with it and it doesn't turn on.
Why not get an external battery charger and charge the battery up and then test it?
All true, and after trying with a new battery I'll have a bit more information.
But what strikes me as odd is that I didn't leave it in a drawer - I didn't even let the battery run down... it was just a damn reboot! I shut it down, and then couldn't power it up again (try and imagine THAT happening to you). It would be odd for the battery to be sucked dry all of a sudden...
I have a feeling that there's something else... maybe while shutting down something burned out in the power circuitry....? =S
No one ever heard of anything like what I'm experiencing? It sucks to be the only one!
Thanks for all the help so far, guys!
If you can get to download mode nothing is lost. Just flash new image via Odin.

Never heard of that happening, but it's a possibility... Still, I would first attribute it to a bad battery and try that first

With a new battery (that works on another nexus S) still no luck. =(
I still can't find anyone with this problem. I feel like the unluckiest idiot on Earth.
I assume I can't get to download mode since I can't even get the phone to report it is charging (it used to do that even if off). Do you want me to try anything, though? I'm open to suggestions until Monday. Then I'm taking it to Samsung. Hope they can recover my pictures.
BTW, my receipt doesn't have the IMEI and a customer service rep told me I need it on the receipt or they won't give me free support. How can I get it with the phone off?
Regards and thanks to all who responded,
Nuno
nuno, if you cant power on even with a new charged battery, then it's a harware fault and nothing can me done... =o\
but thanks for the advice, i never thought about the data in sd card, i guess i should make some backups! =o)

Look under your battery. IMEI should be printed on the sticker beneath. Good luck!

I've got the same problem: dead nexus s after a reboot. It says "no service" emergency call does not work. I tried pretty much everything like switching the battery, recovery mode, plug it in, etc. I even updated its image to the latest I've got access to. No luck. I'm already contacting samsung to get it replaced.
odd things can happen ... it sucks

Did you try flashing a different rom? Or radio/
I haven't experienced this myself but I'm very interested on what happened. Did you guys flash any custom ROMS? or Radios for that matter?
This looks very similar to what i have. I just got my nexus s GT-i9023, it doesn't boot into fast boot, recovery, download mode or normal. The most activity i have got so fare is when i take the battery out, put it back it, and try turn the phone on it will sometimes flash then do nothing. I have looked every ware. When i use "./platform-tools/adb get-state" it returns "unknown". Any help would be great.
What i think i did was this:
- Unlocked bootloader, this worked
- restart
- installed clockwork mod with fast boot, this worked
- wiped data
- wiped cache (correct me if i spelt that wrong, or anything else)
- flashed cyanogenmod, this got an error but i didn't notice it the first time and i can't remember what it was.
- flashed gapps, this didn't work, when i restarted the phone it said that the installer for gaps had quit.
- restarted
- flashed cyanogenmod again, this is when i noticed the error
- restarted, didn't change anything
- wiped data
- wiped cache
- flashed i9020t recovery, this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061855 i think this is what stuffed it up because my phone is i9023
- wiped data after flashing, thats what it said to do, i thought it was strange but i went along with it.
- wiped cache
- reboot
- now doesnt work.
Take it to the store where you purchased and claim ignorance!
S4. Sim card issue. You know of it. If you don`t have it, you know someone who does (and you just don`t have it "yet").
I put the ear plug inside the case. I put tape under the back cover. I`ve reset and rebooted, yet it persists. In fact, it`s getting worse. I contacted Samsung about it and they basically said "yeah..umm....well....we have no idea what`s causing it. Sorry. You`re **** out of luck." Nice. A recognized, widespread issue that is definitely device related and they won`t recall it, nor make a warranty provision for it.
So have any of you done anything that genuinely helped? I`ve spent so much time investigating and I`m pretty sure we`ve all tried the same crap. Here`s to hoping for the best.
I am from Bangladesh. Last year, i suffered this problem exactly on September 16, 2016.
It was thursday morning. I was running Android Nougat. I found a small upgrade. After that, this issue arised. I have tried everything from software point of View.
I bought this phone from a local store. No other devices has faced this problem. But, nexus 6p did. There is no warranty from the local store. PLEASE HELP !!!

Stating exactly what you have done would be more helpful than saying you've already tried everything. Have you wiped both EFS partitions and allowed them to rebuild? Successfully fastboot formatted userdata, cache and system? Installed 7.1.2 using flash-all.bat? Do you get a no SIM detected error?
I detects sim, but shows no signal.

Yes, i have flashed using flash-all.bat.
I don't know how to wipe both EFS partitions and allow them to rebuild.
And i don't think that will solve the issue. Everyone has tried and failed to solve this issue as far as i know. What actually happened i don't know.

Hello,
Sometimes, some people got it fixed. With their EFS backup. If you know someone with an N6P, ask him to provide you with his EFS backup and try restoring it. Even though it's not yours, it could fix it.
Good luck...

So you had a backup before the issue? Or just backed up and restored after the issue appeared?

No, I didn't have a backup. I collected a efs backup from different source, copied it into twrp folder and restored the back up using twrp restore.

Lastly I took it to the repair shop. They opened up the device and changed something called ic. And then sealed the device after a thorough cleanup. The device started working just like before. It took almost one and a half hour to open, fix and seal the device. :good:

The problem is that Nexus isn't a famous brand in Brazil, then nobody wants to open it to fix. We haven't reposition pieces here like this IC which they changed there. I'm still wondering what am I gonna do to fix it since I have in my mind it's an antenna problem, because the device won't find any network when I make it search for it.

Yes it seems your phone is showing the same problems that I saw in mine. Searching for network was always bringing out error message. I initially thought and was convinced that it was software /radio problem. Trust me, I did everything that I found (flashing, rooting, installing custom rom, flashing radio band and even an efs flashing). But how wrong I was. It was just a hardware problem and the technician said it was an ic problem rather than antenna. But I am not sure. By the way, it's not that difficult to open this phone as I saw how they did it without leaving a single scratch. I could do it if I have the right tools. Search YouTube, there's plenty of vdos showing how to open a 6P. (posted using my Nexus 6P).

They changed this IC piece or repaired it? Also, is this piece related to the antenna?

The Technician said that he changed the IC but I am not sure. He was doing his work a bit far from where I was standing. And all techie guys here don't reveal their trade secrets due to huge competition. I am not sure if this IC is related to the antenna

I couldn't find anything about antenna fix or this IC at YouTube or even Google. It's strange that such a problem isn't reported and fixed by anyone in YouTube and Google.
I'm still wondering a way to fix it. I'm 95% sure it's hardware since it can't find network when I make the device search for it.
Also, I've made every software fix available, and this makes me feel even more it's a hardware trouble.

Yeah, for me it was a hardware problem. The techie opened the device, did some of their techie stuff and sealed it up back . It's been two weeks I am using the phone just as before. I wish you find someone who could do the same for you.

As I said, the techie clearly mentioned that it was the IC which was causing the problem and he changed the IC with a good one. Though I was not convinced as I believe the problem was related to antenna or something related to signal reception. I was just relieved and extremely happy to see my phone working so I didn't probe further. The techie charged me around 50 USD to fix the phone.

I understand your point but I don't think the techie guy will tell me exactly what he really fixed. When I asked him he simply said he replaced the IC with an original one of High quality. I don't think he would help me much. I am really sorry that it's not helping you. But I guess any good technician would be able to find out what is wrong your phone and will solve it. I live in Bangladesh. If a techie from Bangladesh can fix it, a techie in Brazil can fix it too. Since your device is showing the same problem as mine, I am sure it is repairable.
