no signal - HTC Incredible S

Hi
Every time my incredible S is left for a while it the signal goes to zero. It then stays that way untill I try to make a call and then it goes back to normal ..... until the next time. This seems to happen sveral times each day.
Is there anything I can do to rectify this?

Did you tried to flash newer radio, this may fix your issue.

Take the latest from the list "20.2810.30.085AU_3805.06.03.16".
If this doesn't fix your issue then try to reflash.
In order to flash radio, you have to be S-OFF.
Hope I helped..

Couldn't get it to s-off. Kept saying failed to get root so guess I'm gonna have to re-flash.
Cheers m8

if it goes to normal when you are making a call than what is the issue? Are the phone calls bad qaulity? etc?? If it bugs you that much than call your service provider and ask them. Possibly get a new phone sent to you.

He might not be able to receive texts or calls when he leaves his phone as the signal is 0.

no m8 it is a wwe rom

Try taking the back off and cleaning the contacts on the phone and the back cover. They are the antenna.

1- does it give you a sim card error -> if so could be a loose simcard, you may need to use the "tape" thingy
2- are you SuperCID? some carrier's are blocking that
Could simply be a defective SIM card. I'd take my phone by the store to see what's up.
no it does not give the error about the sim.and yes i am superCID but most of time it works fine.

try setting back to your carriers CID and see if the problem goes away, I've definitely seen it being blocked for quite a few people; for some the case was similar to yours, for others the dialer wouldnt work at all.
try changing it and see how it goes, if it does work after changing CID, why not post back and let us know which carrier/country you're on to know it's being blocked.
i am on orange but i also tried o2 and still the same problem at least once a day i have to restart the phone.and then it works fine.
and it is not carrier branded phoe.

doesn't matter if it's branded or not, for some it started working again after changing CID to anything (like HTC__001) but not SuperCID. i would recommend trying it.
good luck mate
thanks will change CID tomorrow and report back.

[Q] phone wont charge unless turned off.

Evening,
Today my phone has developed a very annoying problem. It doesn't want to charge up from the mains or be detected by a computer, so the battery is running down. The only way to charge my phone is if I turn it off. I haven't dropped the phone and am UN aware of any damage I have caused. The phone did once warn me that it was in usb host mode and can't charge but this warning is now gone and the problem remains.
Currently s-off running the latest viper Rom. Tried reflashing and starting fresh but not made a difference. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Who ever sorts it I will even buy you a beer via PayPal
Try to go on stock firmware and look if you have same insuess, next step if the problem persists is going full restock(s-on locked) and call htc for pick up ur phone

I experienced the same thing when I took the OTA. Big ole wifi calling update killed my wifi! Sprint wanted me to bring it to the repair center....screw that. It just so happened that it was the same day RUUs started surfacing, thank god! If I were you I would check out O.M.J.s thread as he has posted RUUs for h/k and also non h/k sprint devices. Run the RUU and you'll be good, then go from there.

So you are suggesting that i should backup my stuff and re flash the 4.4.3 by clean install of the RUU? Not the ota but yes the complete RUU rom? What about the rooting and the S-OFF i will lose it ? I guess

Not sure, probably true though. My phone has better battery life running on lte than wifi. I was always under the impression being on wifi you were supposed to get better battery life.

I figured out the issue was that I disabled WiFi optimization which caused the wakelock, as soon as I enabled it, device would sleep on wifi
