Hi, I have noticed that a few have already complained about this issue
I'll tell you what happened to me:
I went on holiday from Israel to Jordan for 2 days.
My Kaiser did not roam as my sim wasn't open for Intl. Roaming so it couldn't find a network.
Also I did not charge it so the Battery went dead.
Following that two days I got home gave my Kaiser a full charge and could not get the network back.
I have done many Soft resets, 2 hard resets & spoken to HTC Help Desk.
The only thing HTC could tell me was to send the Kaiser to the UK for repair as they have not heard of this issue before.
Obviously I do not want to send it as I am sure it's not hardware but something else only.
My Kaiser was perched in the US (made in GB)
Network is Cellcom , which by the way I have tried other Sims in me Kaiser since this happened but with no success.
This issue is very frustrating as I feel helpless regarding this issue & I don’t know what to do
If any one has an idea ………….Thanks

First, try just removing the SIM card, then re-inserting it to see if the phone reconfigures itself. You may have to do a power on without sim card, before you re-insert it.
If that fails, do a hard reset so it goes back to factory default settings, then the inserted SIM card should set up the phone settings properly.

Thank, but like I said before……
I have done 2 hard resets tried every way of rebooting with sim / without sim
Nothing works !

hello saper747:
mine switched to flight mode and swap back,it cant find network any more,too,no matter hard-reset or flashing rom,its still.........
looks like we got the same problem, is yours telling "no sevice"? just a "!" on the service icon,right?

I think this MIGHT be a bug/issue
I had this last week for almost 4 hours. I dont think the network was down but if it was then T-mobile did not state anything anywhere
I had reception all day and then suddenly around 5:30pm, I lost it and did not get it back until late evening

Hi , yes its the same problem
It shows the networks arround but it can't register to them only the !.. icon
This has nothing to do with the network carier as the sim works in all my other phones .
Hi i was wondering if anyone has a solution yet ?

I have THE SAME situation. I believe this is the bug which MUST be solved by HTC! Or at least by someone. I still haven't found the solution. Have anybody done??
Has anyone tried what happens when 3G is disabled (GSM mode)?
I'm having the same problem for the last couple of days in the UK with Orange, but when I switch to GSM (Settings->Personal->Phone->Band->Network Type = GSM) it works fine.

I tried to do that - no result. I have made hard reset - no result. I have dowloaded update WM6.1 from offical site HTC and installed it - no result.
Also, during two days, I calculated at least 20 persons who had this problem around the world. I can not believe that nobody researched this problem yet!
Me 2
I am also suffering from same issue.
My kaiser drop network at around 5PM till 1 hr approx, it hapeend for a week almost then I update radio then it was working ok, but still its not permanent solution.
Now a days my kaiser leaves network anytime and then it will not connect how hard u try, reset, hard boot, flash anything and after sometime suddenly it works.... magic.
I check sim with other phones its working gr8. but with this phone network gives trouble, I dont have 3G here in India, so its running on GSM.
Please somebody find solution, I'll post if I get any solution.
Thanks,
Dilip
Did you try with manual selection of mobile network (start->Settings->Personal->Phone->Band->Network)?
i did the network setting and put it as GSM and it works like a champ
BUT
i lost the 3G capabilities. One of the reason i purchase Kaiser is because the 3G capability.
using other Kaiser will give me a full 3G capabilities so i start wondering whether this is a hardware issue or software
My Nexus was on 5.0.41, all working sweet, then it stopped "finding" the network. No update, flashing or anything was done prior to the problem.
I tried a SIM from another provider, but still - the "No Service" is written on screen, and when I try to search for networks, it says "Error searching for networks".
I then tried the following ideas (nothing helped):
- Reflashed the Radio image.
- downgraded the Radio image.
- Upgraded it again.
- Flashed the Stock ROM (unrooted and rooted).
- Flashed CM5053.
All was done with wipes as needed.
Any suggestions will be more than welcomed!
Can the device just get bricked like that? with no reason?
It sometimes identifies the SIM's provider (Orange for example) but always with No Service.
It sounds like your SIM card slot isn't holding the card in tight enough to make full contact... try putting a business card, cut down to size, between the SIM and the phone's frame (note, not the contacts side, but the back side) to force the SIM down onto the reader tighter.
If that does nothing, not sure what to tell you?
it didn't help
I'm Italian and I have the same your problem .. I only work in 2G GSM'...ve tried to see if you do so?
I opened another tread here Forum
You need a new SIM.
I just had this problem on Friday. The SIM some how falls of the network and your provider network will not allow it to reconnect.
I can't remember, but if I am right Orange is owned/owns by T-Mobile. Hence they have the same network.
The puzzling part about this is why it happens. This is the second SIM I have gone through with my N1, I also had one go with my G1, my sister bought that G1 and the SIM went out again. My mom bought her G1 same day as me and hers has died once. My friend has a MT3G and his has died two times now. I find this extremely annoying.
I tried every suggestion on the internet for repairing or troubleshooting a SIM. It is a waste of time. Well, everything short of dropping it in isoproply alcohol to clean the contact.
I tried a 2G and a 3G SIM on mine, and had the same result, so my problem is different.
My device just doesn't register with the network, no matter what provider or SIM generation I choose.
Can I ask for a RMA if I unlocked the bootloader?
I do not know you definitely do not pass it under warranty
Ryan then you say you clean the contacts of the nexus or the sim with isopropyl
Mine is now doing that as well and so far everything that I tried isn't fixing it. I get it to connect briefly with edge and then nothing. I am going to try a new sim tonight after work and see if that helps, otherwise unsure of what to do after that...anybody got any answers or suggestions?
I've been suffering from this... have an RMA coming but I got mine to work. Make sure you also have CDMA preferred on there or whatever the default is. If it says unknown you have to reboot the radio somehow. I pulled my battery, waited 5-10 seconds. Then i went and checked airplane mode on and off. Then i checked the service menu again. I can't remember if i had to pull the battery another time but it came back from "unknown" to cdma preferred. You can also try turning the radio on and off via the service menu. Finally select your radio bands for your region by pressing the menu button under phone information again in the service menu and select radio bands. I'm not sure if automatic is a good or bad idea but it couldn't hurt testing it if you still have some issues even after selecting your region specific bands. After this you should be able to maybe search and register or you may need to turn the radio on and off again via airplane or the service menu. I played around with it alot to get it running again.
Also I'm tmobile usa using the one for t-mobile bands. I'm not sure if CDMA preferred is a world wide setting or if its gsm or something else.. but the bands are specific to your region definitely.
Yes, I have read every other thread I could find.
Anyways, I bought a Samsung Captivate on Kijijii. I did test it before I bought it, and it picked up 5 bars, and more importantly, held the 5 bars.
Took it home, and ordered the unlock code, which took a few days to get through. In the meantime I upgraded the phone from 2.2 to 2.3.3. Everything seemed to be fine. Got the unlock code, put in my SIM card, put in the unlock code....everything worked perfectly. It didn't pick up a signal though at first, which is a problem with my carrier(I think). They make you go in and manually search and then register. Which I did. Well, for the longest time it wouldn't find the carrier. I have pretty crappy service, so I went outside, still nothing.....went to work and stood under a cell repeater which gives 5 strong bars to any other phone, and my Captivate would show my carrier, I would register, and it would get 1 bar, and then within 10 seconds, it would lose signal again. All while I was standing right beside the cell repeater.
Not only that, but for some reason it would turn on flight mode, and then when I would try to disable it, it would sit there for about 20 min doing nothing.
I went back to 2.2.....still did the same thing. Went to 2.3.3 again, still the same problem. Tried 3 different modems for my specific model phone, 1 of them would find the network instantly, register within 10 seconds, and then drop signal again and go into enabling flight mode, and being a general pain in the ass to turn off. I would actually have to reboot the phone to be able to search for networks again.
The phone came from Rogers, so I put in my brothers Rogers SIM card, and it instantly found the network, registered and gave me 2 bars without me having to do anything. Except then it began dropping signal, getting signal back...dropping it, getting it back. It is winter here right now, and we do have spotty service, but I have Samsung Fascinate that holds at least 1 bar consistently. Not sure if the antenna strength is better. From what I understand they are more or less the same.
I swapped out my SIM card into a different unlocked phone and got service instantly, and then put another different SIM card into the Captivate, and it had the same problem.
I'm pretty much out of options. I'll try tomorrow to see if I can hold a Rogers signal better, which it hopefully can because I'm thinking of selling it.
But I'm inclined to believe that it might be a software problem. Problem is I have no idea what to do in order to fix it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Played around with it a bit more. On 2.3.3 with the KH3 modem installed, it will find the network, then try to connect for 10 min, where it will then say 'unable to connect, please try later.'
Then after clicking again, it will say 'unable to connect, select automatic registration' and then sit there for another 5 min. When it finally comes back, I will click on 'select automatically' and it will say after a couple min, 'registered on network', but won't get signal.
All of this I do with 5 bars service. Or in an area with 5 bars service.
Also, the flight mode constantly comes on, and disables 'mobile networks'....so I can't access it. And its a bit weird that it would do that, since any other android phone that I've had, when I lost service, it would constantly try to connect, not go into flight mode and refuse to come out.
Would it help to install a custom ROM on it? I'm going to try going back to 2.2 and test some more stuff. Problem is the small amount of time I spent with 2.2 last night, the phone would crash everytime I tried searching for networks.
After playing around with it even more, I'm convinced that it says 'error while searching for networks' because the phone constantly jumps back into flight mode.
Even when it does get a signal and registers, the phone jumps back into flight mode within a couple seconds, and bang the signal is gone.
Are you flashing with the sim card in the phone? Or if you are flashing through cwm are you leaving the usb cable plugged in?

I flashed with Odin, WITH the SIM card in the phone. I never bothered to take it out. Would it make a difference?
I actually just flashed back to 2.2 with the SIM card in the phone. It found the network, registered on the network, but then dropped signal and activated flight mode again.
Odin flash goes like this. Put phone into download mode, plug phone into USB, open Odin, put 2.2 file into 'phone' section, make sure re-partition isn't checked, click start, and it does everything it should do. Phone restarts running 2.2.
No open ODIN FIRST!!! And then plug in phone... know your stuff before you give false info.

After flashing back to 2.3.3 without the SIM card in the phone, I still get the same problem. But the phone doesn't seem to constantly be going back into flight mode.
Does the modem file change if you go back to 2.2 and back up to 2.3.3? I might have flashed the wrong modem or something.

I'm not quite sure what you mean. I've done it both ways, and each time the flash has been successful.
I should mention that baseband version on my status menu says 'I896UXKH2.'
And I'm running 2.3.3.
So I'm not sure if the modem changes when you go back to 2.2. I forgot to check that.
I thought you were suppose to put it in the pda slot not the phone??

I did actually put it into the PDA slot. Sorry.
Anyways, rooted and installed CM7, installed the KC1 radio, which SHOULD work in Canada on the 850mhz band, and when I search for networks, the only network it finds is Can Rogers Wireless Inc. Up till now it found MTS as well, which is the network I want to use.
I have an MTS(working SIM card) inside the phone. Just bizarre. Could the unlock code not have worked correctly?
Just completely bizarre. I couldn't get any modem to even recognize and find my network of choice, MTS.
So I went back to exactly how the found was when I bought it. Stock 2.2. Going to find out if even a Rogers SIM card will work in it.
There could be two possible things:
1. Unlock code would had messed up.
2. Corrupt IMEI number! Check IMEI number on the box of your phone or below battery and compare with that of the phone (*#06# or settings)...

The IMEI number on the status menu on the phone is identical to the phone under the battery.
So that leaves the unlock code. The guy who gave it to me, cellunlocker.net gave me instructions for locking it to a specific carrier. I tried that with MTS, and it doesn't work. Basically you punch in a code in the dialer, put in the MCC/MNC code, put in the network lock code, and lock it for that carrier. It said it worked successfully, so I have no idea what else went wrong.
The instructions I mentioned above he gave me after I told him the original method didn't work. That method being putting in non-accepted SIM card, and the box pops up asking for network unlock code. I punched the code in he gave me, and it said unlock successful.
Anything else I should do?
I have the similar problem on any 2.1~2.3 stock firmware which I have tried.
I'm using Tmobile now, and the IMEI is correct.
But I only receive 1 bar or no bar signals.

So you unlocked your phone as well? Perhaps the bands are wrong? I know T-mobile uses a different band than other US providers.
In my case, the Captivate uses the 850/1900 bands, which is what Rogers and MTS use.
MTS being the carrier I want to use it on.

I ordered my unlock code from cellunlock.net and it didn't take. I used the Galaxy S Unlock app and it worked fine. When you enter *#7465625# it does show the network lock as off right?

Didn't take as in it said it cannot unlock? Because when I put in the code from cellunlock it said unlock successful.
But I didn't know you could check with that code. I'll do that later. Thanks.
So apparently I had locked the phone to MTS. Put in a Fido SIM card to try something different, and it said enter network unlock code. Entered the unlock code I got, and it said unlock successful.
Now when I type in *#7465625# it says 'off' under all the headings, just like my Fascinate says.
It still holds signal, loses signal though with Fido. I have no idea if that is a problem or what is going on. It'll get 2 bars, or about -99dbm, 5asu, and then suddenly drop it. Get it back again....drop it after 10 seconds.
Apparently flight mode is going on, going off, going on, going off....which is apparently why it loses signal, and gets it back again.
Hi,
I'm using Xperia Z c6603. I face a different type of problem. My phone shows all the signal bars yet I'm not able to recieve any phone calls or dial them. I replaced my sim card, yet tit didnt help. Can you guys help me out. I have also flashed my phone.

Try to keep your phone in 2g only mode. When i keep 3g only only mode i sometimes can't receive call from other party. But 2g only mode solved my problem....
Sent from my C6602 using xda app-developers app
How do I shift it to 2g mode?
menu->settings->more..->cellular network->network mode-> Only GSM
PS. type: *#*#4636#*#* and check in "phone info"
signal strength
GSM service(if enabled)
In old galaxy spica I had similar problem and I had disabled GSM(dunno why) and after second full flash of fresh stock ROM It was working again.
its not helping
I tried everything possible.
So maybe we start from beginning...
Few quick question before we can help you:
1. When those problem started?
2. After what? did you flash custom rom or Kernel ?
3. You had any app/script that could modify your phone?
4. You had ANY hardware problem before?
5. Your phone fall to the ground?
6. Did it have any contact with water?
7. What system do you have now.
8. did you check sim slot?
9. do you have signal strength in this menu that i post earlier?
1. This problem started a month back
2. It all started suddenly, I am on the stock rom without root
3. No I dont have any app that can modify my phone
4. Yes I had a faulty battery problem which was fixed
5. NYes once it had but it was a long time back before the problem started.
6. No it did not have contact with water
7 I use the stock android 4.4.4 kitkat
8 Yes I have checked my sim card slot, I have also replaced my sim a couple of times
9. Yes I have signal strength -79dbm and 25 asu
My sim works well with my other phones. Is it a hardware issue?
I think Im getting a clear view of the problem, my phone isnt able to shift from 3g to 2g I guess. I came to this place where only 2g works, I had my network mode setting as Wcdma(preffered)/gsm, its reluctant to shift. Is it a hardware problem?
Hmm.... If you have signal and phone see network its not hardware problem. To be honest its more like system or more specific kernel problem in 4.4.4 I say this because you ares sixth person who i know that have network problem in 4.4.4
For examle after flashing kk on my phone i have looooooots of reboots if i have 3g network on, and my phone swith to 2g if its in sleep mode.
My friend also have problem similar to yours but it cant use phone function if its have LTE enabled.
Best part is that when he flashed 4.3 problem is still there, but he didnt had it before when he had 4.3
I cant flash any other system now(i use phone too often )so i dont know if i also would had this problem...
So if you can, you could flash even 4.2/4.3 full clean rom and check, just to be sure. Its a bit "extream" downgrade but flashing it and checking its max 1h...
Probably like always its small weird bug or specific system setting problem, maybe different region rom...
So for now you could check other rom, even branded and downgrade to your old 4.3 to see if you still have such problem.
Seriously its a relif that its not a hardware problem yet.
I also flashed the lower version of the kernel. I am facing the same problem . I use the local region ROM only,
I think Im gonna give up on sony now
Hi there
You are not alone, I am also facing this issue and do not know how to resolve it too.
Sometimes when I try to call (full bars on) it makes a bipbip then Call not possible...
Same issue while switching from GSM to H... Most of the time I have to reboot and let it settle for a while.
I am suspecting my network provider
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Free mobile app
I called up the service provider, it seem to get fixed for a day but again the same problem continues
I'm tired of this, the phone guys can't do anything and neither can the service providers
Such an irritating bug by sony
Did anyone get a solution to this problem?
This is very annoying
Same problem,posible solution temporary.
I'm in spain,having a virtual operator sim called ono,is using vodafone infrastructure.Is needed to have roamin allways activated for data and call to work properly.When stucks to connect,i put in flight mode 1min.With orange sim no problems.With ono sim in a windows phone i had no problem.Now i demanded a sim 4g,will see if are changes.

Hey everyone. I bought a Mi 11 Ultra from china but I don't know why isn't getting signal at all. It detects the SIM but it doesn't let me make or receive calls neither messages, and obviously it doesn't connect to mobile networks. Can somebody help please?
Where are you, what network are you trying to use and have you got some screenshots of your network and SIM settings?
Hey, thanks for answering! Im in Mexico and about the network, any of them. I thought of changing the ROM from the CN to the global one to see if that help, but I need the mobile data to unlock the bootloader, and since the phone isn't getting signal, I cant do that.
P. S. Sorry, what do you mean by SIM settings?
Attached are screenshot of my SIM settings. Yours will be similar. Make sure your apn is set correctly. Make sure your SIM is recognised. Just basic setting checks. May be try other sim slot and of course, make sure it's right way up for either slot.
Without any screenshot I cannot see what may be wrong, so start again with SIM. Shiny side outwards and make sure it is recognised.
Hi again. Yeah, I have tried with both slots for the Sim, each one the correct way, but is the same result for both of them. Thanks for the example of the SIM settings, now I attach mine. As you may see, the SIM is getting recognized, just don't know why isn't getting signal. I've also tried with other company's SIMs, but I get no different result.
Looks good. I think you need to try with another SIM on different network and same. Try this SIM in different phone as it looks all good on screenshot but may be provider has not enabled it properly. If different network SIM known to be working doesn't work in your it must be hardware, hopefully not .
Also look at settings, all specs. Check SIM status and press 5 times on memory for deep phone info.
Hello and thank you again! Yeah... I've tried different SIM from different companys, all of them known to be working, but none of them has worked on this phone. I'm starting to lose hope... But here are the other settings, just to make sure isn't about software
The screenshot show that your radio is off. This is saying that your phone SIM is not turned on for some reason.
There is not much anyone remotely can do, if you are unable to get it turned on.
Maybe someone else has an idea? If not, and it cannot be resolved by resetting the mobile network ( in settings somewhere) or phone reset, then it may be back to seller as a hardware fault. Sorry I can't help. Let's hope someone else can?
Thanks a lot for your effort. Since you told me that the problem could be the hardware, I asked the seller about this issue and he told me that this problem is covered by the warranty, so I'll send the phone back to them. Again thanks a lot for answering!!
Just for info have you seen this thread about att? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/not-a-recognized-device-by-att.4462649/#post-87088003
No, I hadn't heard about that, but still, I wouldn't hesitate on changing my provider if another one works, but since I tried changing to another provider SIM and nothing happened, I guess it was a hardware problem. Thanks a lot for the info!
Try doing manual search of network. If it shows nothing then try checking network frequencies of your network provider and comparing them with this phone supported frequencies. Sometimes its due to your network provider doesn't operate the frequency which this phone supports.

thats an easy fix, modem partition needs to be reflashed and configured via code
