Hi everyone... I bought a week ago a brand new Sony Xperia.
It was Vodafone braned but supposingly unlocked.
As I inserted my 3 UK sim-card for the first time the phone could not detect any simcard. After a few soft resets I decided to try with a Voafone card and it worked no problem, so I decided to try again my 3 sim-card and with joy this time everything worked to perfection.
After just a couple of days, all of a sudden the phone started losing the network and giving me a "sim card missing error"... this would happen every time I would activate the flight mode, or simply when the phone would lose signal for some reason... or even just randomly, for no reason. I've tried to flash different radios and different ROMs but the problem stays the same.
I know the sim card is ok as I was using it on an orange HTC touch diamond which I had unlocked and everything was working fine.
I have run the ATCommander and it says SIMLOCK=00 0 which I suppose it means the phone is unlocked...
It's as if the phone was randomly locking itself several times a day for no reason... and the only way to make it work is to soft-reset it about 10-15 times in a row... until it recognizes the sim card and then randomly stops working again a few hours later...
What can I do? Shall I just change operator? Has anyone experienced anything like this? Could 3UK and sony Xperia be incompatible?
Please help, I am desperate!!
sim card missing/no service
bro, i've had EXACTlY the same problem!!!
its due to simcard scratching by xperia housing design!
replaced my card and it worx a charm now, haven't had to double softreset yet, and before - it took 10-15 times before it got recognized- TRUST me - its the card, replace it - its free and should solve them pesky no service messages for u
Hello,
I recently (5days ago) updated my topaz to the latest energy rom (after a HardSPL) and everything went fine.
After 2 days I noticed I didn't have any signal anymore so I was unable to make/receive calls. The signal worked before and now suddenly it is gone.
GPS and Wifi work like a charm but I can't get on a phone network. When searching for networks it finds all the networks in the neighbourhood but when I try to register to it, it fails.
I tried like 5 different radio roms with no success. I even tried to go back to the stock rom and undo hardSPL with no success either.
What could be the problem and maybe someone has a solution for this.
Greetings,
Devillino
What happens when you select your carrier after initial flashing of the ROM?
It's solved now
Want to the a service center of the carrier and it seemed my simcard was outdated.
Guess I was lucky having this problem right after replacing the roms
They replaced the simcard and everything is working fine now.
Ok I did an upgrade on Euphoria rom (OTA) yesterday and managed to lose my data . I just get an ! mark. So I went right back to stock and I'm now on 5.01 with no rooting ,i even locked my bootloader . Still no data . After checking the APN settings were correct I thought it maybe my old sim given up as it was one I cut down form a micro , so off to Three I went and got a new shiny nano sim but its still the same. If I drop into the handset a 02 sim it works . I have no idea
Ive fully wiped formatted etc . It seems to be a three to nexus problem . I have read people on sprint having difficulty's but this did used to work. .Any help would be gratefully received

Use the google provided factory images and flash back to stock. If it works there you know its something with the custom rom, if it doesnt work its probably a phone problem.
I'm on three, no issues here at all
Your not the only one
I was begining to think i was the only one who had this problem!
Yesterday morning i woke up and to my suprise my signal bar had a (!) it it but it was still displaying my regual signal level.
I switched my wifi of and i couldnt get a data connection just the (!) sign. I got my girlfreind to give me a ring and see if a
call would go through which it didnt it just said that i was unavalible. I then desided that a reboot might sort the problem
but when i my phone booted back up i was presented with the holow triangle signal icon to say that i had to signal. I then
popped my simacard out thinking it could have just been a bit of dust on it. I gave it a little bit of a dust of and popped it back
into my phone and i was given the same no signal and emergency calls only yet it was picking up that there was a simcard inserted.
The day before i had flashed the alpha version of PA so my next thought was that this would be a ROM bug and went ahead and
flashed chroma which i was using prior to PA and i had had no issues with. Held my fingers crossed as it booted up but much to my
dismay i was greated with the same no signal problem but i went into the settings and searched for networks. Three was one of
the network it had picke dup so i tryed to reconnect to it but i got the toast to tell me i couldnt connectto the network and to
try again later. I checked the APN settings and it had automatically grabbed threes APN from the sim card so at this stage i was
completly baffled by them problem.
My next move was to try my sim in my girlfreinds phone and what do you know it worked a charm. As a last shot to check everything
was okay and i was upto date on my bills etc i gave three a ring and they told me there was nothing wrong with my sim and everything
was working as it should be and that it was a problem with my phone.
That brings me to the point i am at now completly baffled as to the problem and slightly angry at the 2 week old phone that had been working
perfectly up until now has suddnely desided to stop with no warning.
So you are not the only one and i expect their are more of us. I am going to flash the offical stock rom from google and see if that does the
trick but im not holding up much hope i feel like im going to have to contact google and find out where the problem lies.

Try waiting for a bit before inputting your pin number. This solved the "no network and !-mark" thing. If I input my pin too fast, it will unlock my sim, but won't give any network. I always have to wait few seconds before inputting my pin to get network :/
Sorry if this kind of problem has come up before, but I couldn't find anything similar to this so I decided to ask you guys if you have seen this before.
So, my problem started out of nowhere, my Nokia 8 (TA-1004) lost wifi and mobile data. I can't connect to wifi anymore and I have no service.
So here comes the weird part. My sim works in every other phone I've tested it, it just doesn't work in mine, AND every other sim card I've tested in my phone
works fine. My sim also blocks my wifi somehow, if it's inserted, it keeps turning off my phone's wifi, no matter how many times I keep turning it on. If I take
sim out, wifi works fine.
I forgot to mention that when this first occurred, I managed to get it work by turning on my phone with my brother's sim inserted, then switching his sim to mine without turning the phone off.
If I turned it off, the problem came back. Now, after Oreo 8.1 update and new sim-card, even this method doesn't work. Nothing has worked since.
Here's what I've done:
-Got new sim-card
-Factory reset through settings
-Wipe data/factory reset through recovery
-I called my operator, they didn't know what the problem is. They recommended to send my phone to manufacturer, but I hope it doesn't come to that. And maybe they
would try their sims in my phone and they would think there is no problem so no need to do anything.
Any help is highly appreciated, thanks
This is very strange problem. Only thing that comes to my mind as a solution is choosing the network by yourself
Sent from my TA-1012 using XDA Labs
I can't change any mobile network settings, because my sim card is detected only for a few seconds and then it's not, so it keeps turning it on and off.
Now I've tried my phone with two sim cards, my brother's (which worked fine on its own) and mine, and turns out that with my sim the other sim doesn't work either.
Same problem here...
every sim card works on the nokia 8 except the one that needs to work...
every other telephone works fine with said sim...
It is a complete new phone so we never tried it with an earlier version than android 8.1
Same problem here, I'm not sure if I downgrade the phone to 7.1 will it work again
Hello,
I have quite similar problem with my phone apart the fact that it was working perfectly with data until I receive Android Oreo 8.1 update (security update 1st Mai 2018). Since this upgrade data doesn't work with my SIM into Slot 1.
When I use the same SIM into slot 2 (hybrid slot that normally contains my memory card) then Data is back.
Do you have the same on your phone?
PS : I've contacted Nokia and their answer is : We have a lot of users reporting this, we are working on it.... I'm miss my old samsung S5....at least the updates were tested before release.
Nokia hotspot failed
I have the similar problem as I've changed the service provider. The new service has 50GB data volume. When turned the hotspot on for wifi sharing with my family, this function did not work but it was showing other devices had connected to the Nokia 8 but unable to use the wifi sharing. Therefore, I inserted the new 50GB sim to my daughter's iPhone 6 and it was running well when turned the iPhone 6 hotspot on. i.e. the sim card got nothing wrong. I did ask Nokia support and they did not find any issues on my Nokia 8. I reckon that must be the phone software / firmware problem as I could share the wifi for my family before I switched to the new service provider. Hope Nokia fix up this issue when they launch the new update. I feel depressed on this brand. I'd been using iPhones & Google Nexus 5 were running perfectly except Nokia.

Hi.
I am very sad
I have the same problem.
What was the solution?
Thank you.
Hey there,
I'm having the cellular connection dropping out 80% of the time and then coming back on randomly 20% of the time since the latest beta update (build 00WW_5_110_SP01).
I asked to revert back to the latest stable build OTA several days ago and still no notification.

Please any have solution for nokia 8 reboot into edl please help.
Its last solution boot into edl and flash full firmware
If problem not solved after flash. Thats mein its related to hardware
I am facing the same problem... any solution?
My mother have been plagued by this as well no 2g, 3g or 4G/LTE connection, my sim-card works great. Her own doesn't, although it does in my phone. Have any of you solved this?
Good day, everyone.
I decided to ask for help because I cannot find any solution here and I'm out of ideas myself.
Three days ago my signal strength began to fluctuate. From full 4G to No Service, several times per hour, and eventually it stopped there. Sim card is visible but all I've got is No Service. I opened the phone and checked for possible damage but found nothing.
Thinking that it may be something software related I have installed Beast OS (sweet ROM, btw). That didn't help with signal problem. Still No Service. I've made clean flash from recovery several times, and tried different firmware versions but still no luck. Today I flashed MIUI Global 11.0.2 via flashboot but that didn't help either. Oh, yeah. One more thing that may or may not give you a hint. When I used *#*#4636#*#* while on Beast OS I couldn't turn radio on. I can do that now on stock ROM but it doesn't help either.
Please, if anyone has an idea of what can I do, let me know before I give up on this otherwise really good phone.
Just to clarify, microSD card works just fine but SIM card put in the same slot still has that connectivity problem.
