My experience: first time install Lokout --> first crash!
I didn't got whats wrong, phone reset, everything I needed installed again, Lookout installed---> two time crashes!!!
Lookout uninstalled two weeks ago, no more crashes (instant reboot because system fault)
I don't say it is something wrong with Lookout, in my case went wrong!!

Yes, I have had a couple of random reboots while using the phone, don't know why.

Same issue. Reboots ~twice a day.
Checked logs - nothing interesting. Only once i saw there kernel panic backtrace, but unfortunately i've lost the trace.
It was somewhere in the wireless code, with pretty message "EAGAIN!"
Checked kernel sources, found the message in the wl_iw_iscan_get_scan function.

After i have provided that information to HTC support, the support told me to change my SIM card to newer one (i have SIM that made in 2004), and to set the field Network mode at Settings->Wireless and networks -> Mobile networks to the GSM only.
Changed settings. Waiting for reboots )

This is interesting.... does that mean we bought a 3G phone to run on 2G network?

if you have a decent provider, you can always ask them to send you a new one. Usually they will give u a new sim-card for free. Also add the message from HTC it will be more convincing

About time, someone highlight this auto-rebooting problem, im from singapore and i can tell u guys its a major problem amongst incredible s users here, 2 out 3 experience this on their incredible S. I can confirm its not apps that is causing it cause mine auto-rebooted fresh out of the box, and some users did a hard reset and still experience the problem. Apparently the first Htc incredible also face this random reboot issues. Im thinking possible hardware..

Looks like so, i have no reboots the whole day after switching 3G off.

hmmm... I got the phone for almost 2 weeks... and the reboots took place at an interval of about 3-4 days
however, IIRC, 1 reboot took place before I went to bed, and it was in 2G...
so.....

Hi,
I'm an IS owner, the first one I had rebooted 3 times in 1 week.
I also had other problems with this phone and I decided to turn it back to get another one.
I tought it was just with the 1st but I encountered reboots with this one too.
I think it's a major problem with the IS, and I hope it's just software problem and then will be fixed with the GingerBread update, I hope so.

May be it's different problems. I have at least 2 reboots a day, and after moving to 2g - no any. Still testing.

Going on 3 weeks and my phone rebooted for the first time. Hopefully this doesn't become an ongoing problem. I came across another thread where people were talking about their phone rebooting a lot.

I will be visiting local HTC service centre later today.... and I would like to see what they have to say about this issue.
After all, I have done quite a fair bit of troubleshooting myself:
1. Change SD card (original 8G class 4 -> 8G class 6 -> 16G class 4 -> 4G class 4)
2. Factory resets (soft and hard)
3. Change of SIM (I have 2 lines )
If I can get anything today, I will update

Two days without reboots. Changed SIM and switch 3G on. Testing...

My sister has an inc S and she had now in about 4 weeks 5 reboots. 3 in the first week. I'm keeping an eye on it now to because she asked me for help, but I couldn't find out the problem. I think it could be firmware related. So I just hope GB will leak soon for the Inc S and maybe it will be fixed then.

Sim not recognized

I have an LG Revolution, 12 days old, rooted.
LAst night i plugged in my phone and it would not charge, after trying several chargers, i decided to do a hard reset. I do the hard reset and now the Sim card is not being recognized. When i turn the phone on, it is waiting for activation, I can't get any further than that. I took my phone to the verizon store and they tested out my sim card in another phone and it worked fine. I can't unroot my phone because superoneclick can't recognize my phone, I think I need to turn on usb debugging and change it to "internet connection" but I can't access those options because the sim card activation screen is the only thing it lets me do.
Any thoughts?
Thanks for any help

had this issue once before and just had verizon replace the sim card. According to them its a known issue with teh 4g phones after doing a factory restore. Just don't let them mess around with your phone after they do the swap and they won't notice/care if its rooted.

The guy at the store i went to put my sim card into his phone and it worked fine, would it still be the sim card?

I got a brand new sim card and it still is not being recognized, any suggestions?

keep trying to activate it and make sure your in a 4g area.

The closest 4g area is like 40 minutes away from me, I wasn't near a 4g area when I first had it activated either?

I had the same problem with my wifes, I has to call and they did some sort if data reset from their end, and it worked.

This worked for me. Take out SIM, power up and let it try to activate, put SIM back in and try it again.

I'm on my second Revo because of this issue. I did a factory restore and it wouldn't recognize the SIM. The Verizon store tried another card and ended up giving me a new phone. I've been very leery of doing another reset...

Patrick, thanks for the suggestion. Pulling the sim out and starting it and letting it try to activate, then shutting it off and putting the sim in. work for me, it got me to the "please wait while sim card is activate"
but my phone would just stay there forever and eventually tell me the sim was not supported on this device.
I called customer support, they told me they had to register that sim card number to my account. 2 minutes later i'm up and running!!!!
Thanks for everyones input.

Yes there's something really wrong with these phones. I'm on my third revo still having the boot up and sim issues. I might keep exchanging untill they give me a bionic.

I experienced this issue as will on my 1st Revo. They replaced the phone and declared it a 'bad' sim slot...no card would work.

My first factory reset ended up in several Sim cards being toast up at the VZW store. Turns out I had my phone on 3G only (to conserve battery). For this reason, I leave my phone on 4G Auto all the time, just in case.

Just had this happen to me. Followed these instructions and it worked like a charm! This is a great phone but there are so many little bugs that need correcting...

I have read about 5 threads where others had the same issues! I wanted to post a warning in the Dev threads but I'm afraid of being band.

Just want to confirm that pulling the battery and SIM; placing the battery back in with out the SIM; trying to activate; pulling battery; putting both back in fixed my activation issue as well. Thank you very much.

The main thing is that if you have clockwork mod installed DO NOT wipe in the about phone area! Only wipe data IN clockwork. Also just for safety I keep the exitrecovery.zip in my sdcard if it does get stuck looping into cwm.

Suddenly lost SIM visibility...?

I'm running the latest Cyanogen 9 Nightly. While texting I set my phone down and it suddenly lost signal.
So far I've tried re-flashing, wiping data, restoring older backup, other SIM cards and always with the same result. "NO SIM CARD"
I've never used any micro-SIM adapter or anything like that, so I doubt the pins are damaged...
Could there have suddenly been an EFS-related issue?
First time I've encountered this, so...any thoughts...?

I had this issue a few times when changing SIM cards,
I eventually solved it by having to "Wedge" one of my SIM cards in for it to be picked up, the other however works without issue so I suspect I have a faulty card due to the time it's spent in my wallet..

I'll try to re-flash to stock GB.
I have absolutely nothing showing up in my APN menu.
I'll try configuring it manually from someone else using the same provider...
Bad timing....really bad...

You should be able to check your EFS folder, But I think it's unlikely if it just "Happened" a while after the flash..

It happened right after sending a couple of texts...it just DIED...
With stock GB still doesn't recognise any SIM card...

Try inserting sim other way around.
Or check if lockscreen is working at all. You might have to, in ics do some special stuff.
Go to settings, security and check if you can lock the sim and change pin. Just try that to check if lockscreen functionality is down. If it is, check my threads, in statistics section in profile, I might have experienced something similar.

SIM security doesn't work. It's as if the SIM card isn't even there...

Well, its easy to dammage connectors, check if they are bent.
If not and simcard inserted right way try the fix in the thread I posted anyway. You do need to be rooted for that.
Also check if efs is still there and emei is correct. Dial *#06#* for that.
If after reboot it still doesnt work, and you have tried other roms. I'd suggest going back to stock condition unrooted and call upon warrentee. Seems to be special hardware issue.

I think its efs related problem
Do you still have the imei number

I wanted to add a me too here, under the same circumstances. I have not yet flashed to a stock ROM yet, but will try. I doubt I have the warranty option. Hope to find a positive solution.
Using CM9 based paranoid Android.

I had the same problem when I got my note thought it was a faulty phone but took it to my local Vodafone store and it was the sim card itself the chip had worn away and was not making a connection...the sim card was only two years old so if its an old sim that good be ur problem and not the phone itself...

I forgot to add that I can rule out my SIM card as I have several phones to test on. In my mind, this leaves software and hardware.
Out of curiosity, are the radios (basebands?) flashed for each new ROM, or is it just for a major upgrade?

I think I've discovered my issue at least. I am nearly certain that it is related to heat. Web browsing while charging, playing resource heavy games, using gps in a hot car will cause the radio to fail. If I restart, radio is still gone as long as the phone is still hot. Allow it to cool naturally, or put it in the refrigerator for a short while, and radio is back.
I think my goal now must be to find the coolest kernel / ROM combo while I am using this as a phone. Perhaps motivation for the Note 2?

I was hasty...the issue WAS my SIM card. My Skyrocket was probably much less sensitive to the corruption than the Note.

No calls or sms

Don't know if anyone else has experienced this problem, but my phone seems like it's suddenly stopped receiving gsm signal. I still have an internet service but can't send or receive text messages or voice calls! It was fine one minute, then the next I had no gsm signal? I hadn't rebooted or anything, it just disappeared! Is there anyone out there that can please help me?
Thanks in advance.

Yeah it's fine and my apn's are fine too. I've also tried different SIM cards. Also when I try and register onto a network it won't allow me, it'll only allow automatic network selection.

Your phone is defective. Return it. I have had phones do what you are talking about well phone anyway but it's not software it's hardware not all chips are equal.

I had previously exactly the same problem with my One X and Cyanogenmod 10.1 ...
I had to rewipe completely the phone (system, data, sdcard, dalvik,...) and reinstall the entire features (recovery, kernel, rom, gapps,...) every time I was installing an update. It did like this since the RC3 and each time then with RC4, RC5 and stable.
If I reinstalled something seperately (rom, recovery or kernel) and rebooted after each installation, it wasn't working.
Just try to wipe everything and reinstall.
Hope you'll get it working again soon...

Keeping Droid 3 on GSM

I have a droid xt862 flashed with the chinese gsm radio. when i turn it off and turn it back on,it says "sim detected" and goes to global.
Any way to keep it on GSM/UMST all the time?
Thanks.

Did you put the proper modified build.prop into the system folder in the phone? The first time I did the process I got so impatient with it that I apperantly forgot to follow the last step and do this and it didn't seem to want to work right. I've never seen that happen when doing the radio swap correctly so I would assume that something was done incorrectly. Btw, I didn't use the build.prop found in the first post in that thread but used one further down in the thread. If you pm me your email I can try to send it to you as I think its saved on my sd card somewhere.

yes i used the edited one and i also modified a few things that other users said would help.
i will pm you my email. thanks for the help.

I also had the same problem, there is a ro.rill you can add, the thing is that the phone would be on global but it won't look into the cdma settings.
(verify the sintax, just in case)
ro.ril.lteOnCdmaDevice=0
ro.ril.lteOnGSMDevice=1
persist.radio.ap.phonetype=2
persist.ril.modem.mode=2
The last two (after reading) apparently force the phone to stay into the gsm band instead of going to cdma. I am still looking for additional ones since the 3G coverage in my area is pretty bad and when it falls back to edge I can't do a thing, just voice calls, no data.
