I have an HTC ONE m7 that is about a year old and is rooted and running omni rom. It has been rooted for about 6 months and I had been running cyanogonmod and everything was running fine until last week when I got the dreaded sim card error. a restart of the phone did the trick. 2 days later it happened again and this time a restart did not work and my phone was out of commission for about 4 hours as I tried everything to fix it (including a full wipe of cyanogen and a fresh install with omni rom) with no success. Then one random time I restarted it popped back up and everything was fine. Now over the last few days it keeps giving me the sim error and only goes away after random amounts of time and restarts. If the error does go away and I have service. I get 4g LTE for about 10 minutes before I lose the ability to make any calls/texts or have any data connectivity. I have tried the scotch tape trick with no success as well as changing my APN. I'm sadly starting to think this may be a hardware issue.
Any thoughts??
Sounds like it. If it's still under warranty I'd be returning it to stock and sending it for repair

It's out of warranty so I'm open to any and all suggestions before biting the bullet and buying a new device..

Hey guys. Four days ago I bought a brand new LG Optimus Optimus 2X. Everything seemed to be good, but after a couple of hours the phone asked for pin code. I entered it and I didn't think much about it until I noticed that I didn't receive any calls or text messages. Tried to call out/send text messages but it didn't work.
I rebooted phone and things worked as usual again. This occurs about 6 times a day, and reboot is the only way to fix it. I went back to the store and told them about the problem. They gave me a new LGP990, but the same problem happen with the new phone I got. I didn't install any applications, and I even did a factory restore with the same result.
I thought it could be the batch the store got, but they had sold several other phones of the same batch and no problems was reported by the customers. Could it be my google account/a contact or something corrupting the OS?

Don't think so. contact your service provider and suggest that you would like to replace the SIM card. It might help if new device didnt...
They should be able to send you a new SIM and activate your services on it for free.

It's a reasonable explenation, but I find it a little strange, since the SIM card is about 2 weeks old, and it works completely fine in a different phone, but hey. I'll try out with another SIM card.
Your problema is another variant of random reboots. Welcome to the club ;-)
I've it too more or less.
Regards!
Me too

Does that mean your phone is cured, or just almost? Anyways. Do you have a good walkthrough/tutorial about how to upgrade baseband to 502?
I used the guide at madaco. Well it havent had it asking for pin-code with the madaco 18b2 and cm7 is also stable, or so they say

Hm. I think I might wait for an update. I'm a little afraid that I'm gonna **** it up. Don't want my phone bricked, and I'm a newbie to android-flashing.
I flashed to cyanogenmod 7 and the pin prompt have still not appeared. I will get back to you in a couple of days when I've tested it more.
Edit: I was wrong. Problem still occurs on c7.
Edit2: I think it might have gotten a little better. It happens maybe 2-3 times per day now. So it might have helped.
Edit3: Flashed baseband to 1035.21_20110502. Exited to see how this works.
Edit4: Got a pin prompt 5 hours after flashing baseband. Waiting for an update from LG or clever answer then.
I made a new discovery. This seems to appear when I have bad reception. When I have no reception this happens ALL the time. Like several times per minute. So I really don't know what to do now.
I just picked up my vivid on tuesday. I have been having issues ever since I got it with being able to successfully send texts. They just hang forever in the thread with a "pending" status.
Originally, i was worried this was a rom issue. I've tried every ROM.... Same issue with every single one. I relocked bootloader and went back to stock, and had some luck, but only about 18 hours before I started experiencing issues again.
Has anyone else experienced this with their vivid? Rooted, or otherwise. I'm about to take this thing back and go back to my Inspire. This is getting real old, real quick.
Any replies would be greatly appreciated.

I have not experienced it, it sounds like it may be an APN issue though, did you experience the same issue with your stock rom?
Yes I see this every time I flash a new Rom , just when I restore the apn setting it starts to work again.

yep. i've tried every possible apn setting. even older ones that are only for hspda+. nothing works. i can't say i was on the stock rom long enough to text, but i did relock the bootloader, and reapply the ship rom for att, and experienced the same issue.
i'm going today to get a replacement device. hopefully it's just a shoddy one.
goodbye vivid.
well, after less than a week, and two vivids....i'm done with this device. both of them refuse to send texts after approximately 10-12 hours. as much as i hate to leave the htc brand [and despise the blue tone of samsung devices], i have to go to the skyrocket due to it's comparable hardware.
i'm pissed....i was super excited about the vivid, but it has been a severely disappointing, aggravating experience overall.
I had an issue twice before, one was a problem with the sim and the other was the mistake of putting my sim in an iPhone where it would only send as an imessage

Ive been having the same issue since I got the phone in November.
The only way I can get messages to send (sometimes) is to restart the phone, then they send in bulk.
I have done the following:
-factory reset
-tried stock/custom rom (HoliRaider, RumRaider)
-had the phone replaced (2x because Rogers is rather stupid)
-tried the SIM in another phone (X10) and it works 100%
-tried SIM in a 'floor model' Raider at the Rogers store, worked (only had the SIM in for 10 mins)
-factory reset (again)
-tried on all the variants of network (Auto, WCDMA, GSM) no change
I have asked a few times if trying a new SIM would be worth it, tech keeps saying no...
Needless to say I have my Raider on Kijiji trying to sell/trade for a SGSII.
Love HTC but i need to be able to send SMS.
So it sounds like the sim is the issue if you used a floor model sim and it was fine , so demand a new one?

Guys by any chance you have phonelocator pro install on your phone? If so that's the problem there. As soon as send a text to locate the phone my wife's messages stops sending until you restart the phone I contacted the dev with no help from him.
Edit - BTW The problem could be cause by any apps that intercept sms like any Messaging replacement app ect but I'm not %100 sure is anyone of those apps but Phonelocator pro from the market.

this started happeningto me because i had WMD (whers my droid) on my phone, as soon i removed it and delete the pending texts and rebooted, text started to work again.
I tested it again a few days after by re-installing WMD and same results.
So if you happen to have any text based GPS locators it might be the issue.
A different sim worked for me too because the number changed and the text failed to send. it was WMD and i asked the dev and he was no help and said uninstall my program i can't do anything for you.
905 stock rooted and I was having data drops like crazy last week. I have had a bionic since launch and have never had any data problems. Last week was terrible, couldn't hold a 4g connection (blue to white constantly). They sent me a new Sim card, it seemed to make it worse the first 2 days, so I asked for a replacement phone. Well after the first 2 days on the new sim, my bionic starting working flawlessly again. Now I have a replacement phone sitting here that I don't think I need. Should I send back the replacement? Or take the certified "like new"? Am I better off keeping my original? Help me decide, thanks!
I feel like it was a network error on Verizon's part, not an issue with my sim card but guess I'll never know.

if it was me i would give it about a day or 2 and if the problem happens then switch phones you got 5 days to send it back (i did not send back my replacement phone for 2 weeks and never got billed or anything at all)
Mine replacement is on the way.

I too am having the same connectivity issues. Blue/White strobe. They're sending me another Bionic. I fully expect the new one to have the same issues. Two of my friends have the same phone; both are having the same issue ever since the .905 upgrade.
Try this...
Power off pull the SD card. Power on fully. Power off. Reinsert the SD card and power on.
Don't ask! I read this somewhere and was willing to try anything and....oddly enough, it worked.
Thanks to the forgotten tipster.

I add the step of take out sim card,when removing the sd card, which i read at droidhive.com when it existed.

I apologize if there is already a thread on this, but I have not found an actual solution to it yet.
My Captivate's screen is on sleep mode, and maybe 20 ish minutes later, when I press the unlock button, I find that the phone is off and I have to turn it on again. This happens every 20 minutes, and the only way for me to keep it on is to frequently unlock the phone to verify that it is still on.
This is not a very practical method of doing things though, because the phone turns off in while I'm sleeping and I'm not always able to check my phone every 20 minutes.
My firmware version is 2.3.3 and I'm running Gingerbread OS. It's a refurbished phone I received from Rogers a week ago, and I really don't want to factory reset or anything like that as I have very important information/app data on my phone I don't want to have wiped.
I've heard of flashing a custom rom to fix the problem but the thread i read was from 2011. Can anyone help me with this issue? Thanks.
If you received it as a refurbished from Rogers then I would go back to them and get them to send you a new one. There was a batch of Captivates that had this issue and a new motherboard was the only true fix.

Is that really the only way to fix the problem? Aren't there any custom roms that might fix the problem?
They might help the issue but they will not fix it. It is a hardware defect. I had to send one back to At&t for the same issue.

Dude send the phone back to Rogers. Call them or go to the Rogers Plus store and explain them the problem. Tell them that you did factory reset and you're still getting the problem.

I have a stock (no root, no ROM) Verizon JB Bionic. Little over a week ago my phone suddenly lost service. No phone, no internet. I was able to get a wifi connection though. A day or so later it started bootlooping every 3 minutes or so. Wiped the cache, then did a factory reset. After that, it booted to the set up screen, but can't get through it without rebooting. Tried to reflash stock ROM, but screwed up and flashed GB and not JB, so then it got stuck in fastboot. Tried to flash JB, and battery died. Borrowed a charger today and was able to flash JB (removing the oem fastboot lines). So now the phone will boot back the setup screen, but still bootloops and still no signal.
Obvious answers:
No, it's not under warranty
No, I don't have insurance
No, my contract is not up.
I have not tried swapping SIM cards, but not sure that would be it anyway. I'd expect an error if the sim was bad.
Any other options? Am I likely looking at a hardware failure?
Same thing happen to me. Phone keep boot looping and baseband is unknown.I wonder if Verizon sent a over the air kill switch for the phone

I guess I don't know. It's SJUG6100AD 40/11 if that helps.
I thought I may have been onto something when I was able to bypass the startup, but it still looped.
That's really a strange issue...
Tried almost everything but no luck...
Tried full fxz to ics.. to jb... but
It's lying around as paper weight...
