[Q]Phone randomly lost signal? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, since last night at around 11, I lost all signal from my phone. I've tried rebooting, battery pulls, #*#*4636#*#* and nothing.
I'm currently running royal ginger 1.4.1 with faux's kernel.
any ideas?

nevermind guys! fixed the issue. Turns out, my sim is 6 years old so it finally died on me.

Lol it died? I've had the same similar for 4 years now and it hasn't died. Did you just take it in to the tmo store and they said its a dead sim?

They test it I had one die last month. Free replacements though and they have new ones out that are supposed to run faster and work better on 3g/4g

Is there anyway to check the life of one's sim card?

When you buy any 3g/4g phone they should have change your sim card out, if they didn't you should go back to tmobile and they should change your sim card without any problem. Just letting everybody know

[please help] low network signal _ tmob /europe

Hello everyone, I've currently bought a T-mobile HD2 from america, and I'm now in Belgium (Europe). I've upgraded to android as soon as I got my phone. But now I've noticed that I'm getting low mobile antena. I'm always getting 2-3 bars and sometimes no signal. can this be related to the baseband version? Mine is: 15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14 and in imilka's incredible sense v1.1
please help.
Do you get no service with this?

yes, sometime... but most of the time, I have only 2 bars of signal. I think it is a problem with baseband things. isn't it so?

Battery life?

Hey guys a friend of mine got this phone about 3 weeks ago and is having some serious battery drain. Like from fully charged to the red in about 3 hours with minimal use. I told her to take it back and get another one. What I would like to know is if this is normal for this phone or just luck of the draw and got a defect. Thanks and apologize if this was already posted or is in the wrong place.

You can go under settings>about phone>battery>what's using battery and see what the highest percentage of use is. That may narrow it down to an app or android process causing the drain. Is the phone rooted or unrooted?
Unrooted completely stock and the screen eats about 97%of the battery. I dropped the brightness to its lowest level disabled wifi and everything else I could think of but the battery life really had no improvement

Reboots

I just want to let everyone know that I was plagued by the evil reboot problem a lot of us Atrix owners was/are experiencing. 15-20 a day for the last year or so. I tried every solution possible to no avail until I finally decided to replace the SIM card. Guess what..........not a single reboot in a few days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone who has this problem should replace their SIM card. AT&T store replaced mine for free!
Mine was resolved by exchanging the phone...

Is the wife's MyTouch 4G Toasted?

So last night my wife's MyTouch 4G was operating perfectly. My 3 year old knocked it off the entertainment center, and now it will not turn on. The fall wasn't even hard enough to cause any scratches or damage to the outside of the phone.
When trying to turn on the phone, I get three vibrations and a flashing orange light.
When I try to boot into hboot, I get 5 vibrations and a solid green light.
I've pulled the battery, let it set for 15 minutes, tried again, but I cannot access anything, I even let it set and charge for four hours, still no luck.
I cannot see the phone from the computer using adb, Droid Explorer, or anything else.
Is this phone completely done? If so, would I be able to sell it for parts? Thanks for any advice.

Your volume up button might be stuck but if its not your emmc chip is done and your phones done hopefully since it fell the volume up button will just be stuck and your phone won't be broken

Just disassemble the phone, all the way down to the motherboard and screen, cleaned it, ensured nothing was sticking, and it still doesn't boot. Guess it's goin' up for parts. Thanks.
Plug it into your computer and type in 'adb reboot', sorry, I skimmed through the op, let me know if that works or not

Oh, I just saw it at the bottom of the op, sorry. If adb doesn't recognize it, the chances are pretty high that it is fried. I really do hope you can fix it though. Jackr1 should know the issue

MT4G to Simple Mobile

hey everyone, my brother just bought a mt4g and it was rooted (running miui). he wants to use it on simple mobile but just sticking a sim in there wouldnt work.
I have an epic 4g and know that its best to have the phone on stock (or at least stock rom) when trying to activate it, but i had problmes getting it back to stock.
is there anything fancy i gotta do first to get it to work? he hasnt actually bought the simple mobile sim card yet but he tried a friends and it didnt work. do i have to unlock it or something?
This phone takes a particular SIM card. We get posts on here all the time saying SIMs don't work. When they compare the contact surfaces of one that works to the one that doesn't the difference is obvious. Tell simple what phone you have and ask if it takes a special SIM.
