Can hot swapping SIM cards break my phone? - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

After hot swapping sim cards my phone went crazy. Get disconnected from either 4g or wifi and need to restart the phone (sometimes more than once) to get wifi back or to get it to detect thw som card or get a signal. Tried changing the rom and it only got worst. Started restarting all the time. After that i flashed (by flashall.bat) an original miui in case it was a persist issue.... Now it's not restarting as much but still having signal or wifi issues all the time. Did i **** up a piece of hardware or is this a software issue?

Losing Connection to Network

My phone sometimes loses connection to my network (3 Australia) which I usually notice after school finishes and I take my phone out of my pocket. It can't find the signal but once I reboot / aeroplane mode on and off it can get the signal again.
This is annoying because I don't want to be constantly resetting the phone to get latest phone data. I really hope someone can help me with this problem.

LG Optimus 2X P990 - Service Problem

Hello,
Since a couple of weeks I've been having some issues with my beloved phone: the LG Optimus 2X Speed (P990) running the latest and greatest Cyanogenmod 7. And I was hoping that you could help me with that.
The Problem
My phone, and my previous phones have always had great service reception. I would never find my phone with two bars or less, unless it was brain-dead out of juice. I've always had the same provider (T-Mobile NL) and I've never experienced any problems with them.
However, in the last couple of weeks my phone can't find my network more often and often. I'd check my phone to see why I haven't gotten text-ed in the last minute or so, and it would be offline. Zero bars and status "No Service". At the beginning, I could put Airplane mode on, and then off again and it would reconnect. But since a couple of days that won't work either. I can put the telephone into airplane modus, but it gets stuck in it.
The button remains gray saying "Disabling Connections". If you go back, and into the Connection settings again the button can be pressed but indefinitely keeps the phone in airplane mode. The only way to enable connections again is to completely restart the phone. And as of lately I find myself having to reboot the device about 1-4 times a day.
Could you help me with this?

Obviously CM7 went a little crazy! I don`t think it`s hardvare problem and the most safe and secure thing u can do is to go back to stock rom and root and reflash CM7 again!!! Android is weird system and many weird things happen to many people. If u have few hours to spare u should begin there and see what happens. If that doesn`t solve your problem than u can start thinking about hardware failure (maybe SIM card, maybe phone antena). But i`m allmost positive it`s software isue. :good:
Disable the automatic date and time (network-provided one). See if that helps.
That was preventing my P990 from getting network at all after a cold boot.
Hi,
I have exactly the same problem. Disabling network-provided time helped (i.e. the phone connects to the network and data connection is up), but I was wondering if this is a bug and if there's a thread or a resource discussing this issue? Btw, the phone has been having some minor connectivity issues in CM 7.1 as well, but otherwise CM7 is useable.
Phone: LG-P990 (Optimus 2X), "Made in Korea" under the battery, does that mean for sure it's the SU660 flavour?
Carrier: Fido (Rogers Wireless), Canada
ROM: CM 10.1-20130722-UNOFFICIAL-p990 (tonyp build version 5) (Wiped and flashed on 2013.08.27)
Kernel: 2.6.39.4-kowalski-exp
Basebands tried: (none get me data connectivity)
LGP990hNAT-00-V25h-FID-CA-FEB-22-2012+0 (Original)
725 V10d (shows as Unknown in About Phone)
450 V20m SU660 (EDGE only)
OK, Correction...
Only the Wi-Fi connection was up. The cellular connection indicator was blue, which has led me to believe that cellular data connection was up as well. When Wi-Fi is disabled, the cellular connection indicator goes white and there's no data connectivity.
Furthermore, even though basic cellular connectivity was available for approx. 8 hours during the night, as soon as I left home and started moving it started dropping out. For example, I was only connected ~30% of the time for the past hour (and the reception along my usual route is normally great).
Toggling network-provided time doesn't seem to have an effect now, but the old tricks (toggling cellular connection, going into Airplane Mode, rebooting phone) seem to restore cellular connection for a brief period.
I also noticed that often when I would launch a data-using application (Internet browser, gmail app) cellular connectivity would be lost in a minute or so (saying No Service).
I've tried looking into "logcat -b radio" for ideas, but I don't quite understand what's happening here (willing to learn though).
Help...
I have installed CM7.2 (official CM) and CM10.1 (tonyp 5, oldbl) with dual boot and can now switch between the two ROMs. I have good cellular and data connectivity in CM7.2, but no data connectivity even after a fresh install of CM10.1.
I assume the baseband has nothing to do with this since both ROMs are using the same.
So, armed with a dual boot device, the n00b is ready to do troubleshooting! It only needs guidance now... Help?

Data connection turning off itself

Since yesterday my cellular data keep turning off by themselves.
I updated my ROM (CM 12.1) to its latest nightly and put back Helium 3.4 kernel, but the problem is still here.
I never had this problem before and it's really problematic as they stay on during ~1 minute only, then the data connection turn off by itself.
Tried to remove SIM card, turn the phone on withtout the SIM card, then rebooting the phone with the SIM card, no effect also.
Any idea on how to fix this?

Mi8 Constantly turning off wifi and turning off mobile data

Hi,
My phone keeps on giving out no service and it also turns off the wifi. Sometimes it can't even find a wifi. Every time it says theres no signal my sim card name changes from 3 (My network) to SIM 1 I hope that has something to do with it. This all started happening when I updated my phone to the latest update (MIUI 10.3.5.0) and since then I can bearly use my phone as its constantly changing internet connections and not working.
Hope you guys know a fix.

modem keeps resetting connection

Something strange is happening here on my Pixel 5. It looks like the modem keeps resetting. What happens is this: the bars for cellular drops and I get a small x (like it is disconnected), then wifi shuts down. A second or two later, the mobile network comes back, and says 4G besides the bar. A couple of seconds more and wifi reconnects as well.
To me, it looks like the modem is restarting. This happens after a couple of minutes using the phone, and keeps repeating every 5 minutes or so. I have tried to replace the sim card, resetting network settings, restore to factory settings, reflash stock firmware, tried boh April and March updates. Nothing helps.
If I remove the sim card completely, the wifi connection drops and no networks are visible, so I can not connect to anything.
This is the strangest thing...! I am going to try to flash a custom rom, probably proton to see if anything changes.
I suspect that this is a hardware failure, but has anyone seen anything like this? Any more suggestions on things I can try?
I have this exact same issue, did you find a solution?
