[Q] htc desire won't connect to a network

Hi,
Two days back my htc desire suddenly lost connection to the mobile network. I now get a small cross on top of the signal bars and "no service" written on the notification bar. Sometimes this changes to "sos".
The wifi is working fine. t
The only problem is voice and data over the mobile network.
I tried a lot of things:
reboot
flashed a new radio
complete wipe/ factory reset
flashed a new rom
But to no avail.
A strange thing did occur though, at a mall, my phone suddenly started working for a few minutes and then went back to the same state as before. This same thing happened last night too.
I am unable to understand this and request all of you to help.
current status:
Phone: htc desire amoled
s-on
bb: 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23
miui 17.15

Ring your provider.

So I assume the problem would be the ROM
Any solution to this? Patches or something?
I would love to continue on using MIUI
Thanks all
Regarding the above problem.. had the same thing... what i did is this..
on dial pad use *#*#4636#*#*
then goto phone information (first one)
scroll down you'll see "set preferred network type"
mine was selected "WCDMA" I changed that to "GSM Only"
Since then no problem of S.O.S has come to me
I am sending it here because I am unable to post in the forum... something to do with minimum of 10 Post.. Hope this helps

Guys thanks for your replies.
I have already done the *#*#4636#*#* bit and it hasn't helped.
Regarding the rom, I was originally on cyanogenmod 7 when this problem started. I re-flashed CM7. Didn't help. Then i flashed miui. the problem remains.
Although I would like to add that over the past two days, at two different locations, I have been able to make one call and recieve one. How this happens, I don't know.
Still trying to figure it out but I just read elsewhere on this forum an exactly similar problem being faced by a few people during the last few days.... so keeping my fingers crossed.
Ah! and one more thing, I have tried sim cards of almost all operators and none work in this phone.

Same problem here aswell,
me too tried every thing,
but non of them helpfull..
Still searching for help

This may seem like a dumb question, but the people experiencing this problem, are you in the same country/region?

A little update in my situation:
I visited another city for an hour yesterday and the phone latched onto vodafone in seconds and worked like a charm but as soon as i got back to base, it was back to its dead state.
This is a really confusing situation because, one moment it seems like its a hardware problem (since none of the operator's sims tend to work in it while in delhi) and then sometimes it seems to be a network problem (as it seems to work just fine in some areas)
Guys, please.... please help. This is so frustrating.

guys i'm still waiting for a reply.... doesn't anyone here have a solution to my problem?

Install cm7, then full wipe and then install freshly your new rom.
I did that way and after that was network connection back.
Sry my bad english!

Hey this worked but only partially. Now the phone does latch on to network at most places except two: my workplace and home.
And in some places it shows full signal strength but calling is not possible.

[Q] No data and no calls

Randomly I have not been able to text, make calls or get a data connection with my phone. I was running CM 7.0.3 when this all of a sudden started. Restarting my phone would allow me to make calls and get a data connection for a few minutes and then I would not be able to do either. I flashed the newest CM7 nightly build and a new radio, Vision_Radio_12.57.60.25_26.10.04.12. The same problem continued so I flashed Virtuous 2.0.0 but that made no difference.
Anyone have any idea of what I can do to fix this?
Thanks.

I'd say try flashing a different ROM. But since you've fresh flashed the same ROM I'd say that pretty much counts.
Next I'd call the carrier and confirm that you SIM/account is in good standing, and that the towers are working properly in your area. I've had the freakout about "omg my phone is jacked up" and after flashing all kinds of ROMs, radios, etc. I just called T-mobile and they confirm that there was just a network problem in my area.

ur doing a full wipe right?

I actually did flash a different ROM and the issue continued. I'll be contacting Bell to see if maybe it's a service issue.

How? Do like I did and google the right build number for your device because they will ask, and you don't want to get caught saying 'GRJ***'

This.

i tell my carrier straight up that im rooted...they dont say anything...but im not calling tech support either

If the OP is just calling to see if their have been any reported service outages or interruptions in his area, whether he is rooted or not shouldn't matter.
A couple times in the past few years, I've had instances where I lost both data and voice service for up to a couple hours at a time, over the course of several days. Then the problem just goes away. This seems to fairly typical, if they are upgrading or repairing your local tower.
If the OP has tried flashing various ROMs, and tried a new radio, I'd be inclined to say the ROM is not the problem. If the problem persists, you may ask your carrier to send a new SIM (or go to their store and ask for one).

hi,
you are not alone!
i have this problem with OE HTC 2.3.3 stock rom! (unrooted original device from Nov. 2010)
so i had very bad mobile connection and after ~1day (without reboot) i can't phone with it.. mobile network only "x" but data connection is fixed to gprs.
very strange!
so i send my phone back and orderd new one.
i think this is was hardware problem.
short:
- reboot bringt full funktion but the mobile connection is not so good as 4month ago (same point).. 4month ago it was "H" and now only gprs
after many hours >8h. calls didn't work, the phone said "no provider"... (x)..
- the strange thing is that data connection is degrade to gprs
this problem exist from the last 2 HTC OTA updates. but onyl the last 2.3.3 makes it really unusable
i hope this problem don't come back with the new desire z now rootet with cm 7.10 rc1 (what a feeling)

[Q] Baseband switching nightmare

Hi folks... I'm give up for searching. Let me open this thread.
I've been using CM7 and I never got this problem. My phone aways worked without touch baseband switcher option. In last Saturday my Defy started to lose carrier connection. Sometimes it show "only emergency calls", sometimes it show my carrier signal but I can't receive or make any calls. I need to reboot my device, then it works for a while. And yes, because of that my battery is draining very fast.
I've tried everything but nothing is working. I tried to change baseband, wipe cache/data/factory reset, delete bp_nvm_default folder contents and run baseband switch again with every available band option, re-flash everything again from stock Froyo, set up 3G only, 2G only, 3G preferred, flash older CM7 versions, flash last 4 Miui releases too... but it still losing connection. Believe me, I've tried every thing that I can find on google.
My carrier is "Oi", and my phone suppose to be working in 850/2100MHz mode. Could you guys help me? Is there others things that I should do? This could be a hardware problem? I don't think so, with stock Froyo rom it works flawlessly but I don't want go back to it. I don't have another SIM card to try.
I'll try a last shot: flash Froyo again and save bp_nvm_default for CM7. Maybe this could work, I don't know, I'm completely lost. But for now I need sleep, I'll try tomorrow.
Thank you! And sorry for my grammar mistakes. I need more English lessons.
UPDATE: With my friend's chip (TIM carrier) I've got no signal troubles, it's working like a charm. Now I put my Oi chip again and guess what? Yes, my phone loses signal after 15 min. God dammit, it's something with my carrier. I need to call them for support, but my carrier's call center people are a bunch of stupid morons. I can't figure how they could understand that I'm using an alternate firmware, i bet they will say that I need use only official firmware.
UPDATE 2: Ok, there's no way to make this work at Oi's network, I don't know why. So I moved to TIM. Using stock firmware isn't a option, since Motorola can't make a decent work, Motoblur sucks a lot. CM7 or MIUI running Gingerbread are much better than stock Froyo, even without Motoblur crap. Thanks guys for the answers!

Thanks! But yes, I tried it too.
Right now my system is running a Miui 1.10.28, using a RT brazilian Froyo as base (SBF file name: JORLA_U3_3.4.2_107-9_SIGNED_USAJORDMR1B15RETBRL). By the way, I've been using a Nordic 3.4.2_177-005 base system with Quarx's CM7 nightly builds for 4 months without problems, until last Saturday. I could test 3.4.2-179-2 CEE DEBLUR later, but I'm afraid that can't resolve.
Serious, I'm tired of this. Unfortunately I'll go back to brazilian RT froyo, with Motoblur s*** and slow down my system. I'm losing important calls this way. :'(
EDIT: My friend here in my work gives me his TIM chip, so now I'm testing it.

I've seen, I read many issues like mine. Let me ask you: are the SIM cards from the same carrier?
My phone used to work too. It was running CM7 for 4 months and now started to lose signal suddenly! So that's why I flashed it with RSD Lite 8 times and tried many CM7 versions and Miui last weekend. Maybe I have luck, but I always did it with 100% charged battery.
I'll call TIM, maybe they could give me some advantages or a equivalent plan. So I'll change my carrier.

i changed my carrier...i am not sure whether the same carrier SIM will work...i couldnt find anybody with the same carrier's SIM...so played it safe and got a sim from my mom's carrier..

going back to stock should really solve your problem...i wonder if it is a hardware issue covered under warranty...why dont you try getting it replaced??

Well, my phone is 7 months old. Warranty is still valid, but it works with stock firmware. So, I can't ask Motorola's support for replacement or fix it.
There's something wrong with my carrier's network. Here in my state, it was known as Brasil Telecom, but the company was brought by Oi, and they are joining their networks. When I had my old phone, it recognized BrT network, and a roaming signal appeared. The same happens when I use my Defy with stock firmware. But while I'm using a CM7 firmware, the phone show OI as a network available, no BrT and no roaming indicator. It's a bit weird, isn't? Oi's support can't explain why this happen, they just say that it's normal and that they won't charge me by roaming. I just can't realize how it was worked all this time.
Maybe I should change my carrier. Sometimes it delay my txt messages (send and receive). I took my sister's SIM card and I let it all day in my phone. TIM, again. And I have no signal losing, no battery drain, phone get on sleep mode normally. I need test it with SIM cards from Vivo and Claro, just in case.

i have the same issue... fixed with correct band !

Yeah, my case is just like a incorrect baseband. But there's something more, it's just impossible to be only a baseband issue!
I tried with the newer baseband switcher. First time I tried RT Brasil, them TIM, Vivo, Claro... so I started to try every single option. I don't know what I should do anymore. The solution seems to be change my carrier.

Hey bro! I had the same issue as you are experiencing a few days ago. Here's what I did:
In Baseband Switcher, choose the middle tab (i think it's europe or something), then select International RT (it's the first one).
Worked like a charm. (w/ TIM and VIVO)
Hopefully it'll work for you too! Good luck!

I said it already, I tried it. With every single option. The RT international was the 1st option after the brazilian's options.
I'm moving to Tim. Now my phone isn't loosing signal. Oi's network sucks.

[Q] No 3g after installing an AOKP/CM9 theme

I was checking out some of the themes that i had downloaded to see which one i liked the most and after a few installs i noticed that my phone was no longer getting 3g/hspa+ ? I had done nothing except install and reboot like instructed in the discription. I was installing them via "Themes" settings. Im currently on AOKP build 39 with the latest nightly from Franco (R191), I have never seen this before which is why i thought id post this thread. I have tried the following and got no fix:
tried *#*#4636#*#* and selected radio band/automatic but got nothing.
tried a refresh on the APN and got nothing
tried Mobile networks/Network operators/both "Select Automatically" and choosing T-mobile and no 3g still =(. Im stuck on EDGE:2
The radio that i have been on for a while now is xxkk6 which has worked pretty good for me coming from Phoenix,AZ
Dont know what else to do, someone help please

Why make two threads for the same problem?

Before creating a "theme broke 3g" thread. Did you happen to call your carrier and see if there has been an outage reported in your area? Have you tried to reflash rom, gapps and kernel and does the problem persist?

I'm having the same problem. Was working fine on HSPA last night and woke up to Edge only all day. It's not a network outage and it's not my account as my SIM works on HSPA on my backup HTC Amaze. I was recently on CM9 Nightly 6/20 but I'll try going back to the stock rom and see what that does.
Edit: Tried reverting to complete stock everything and I'm still stuck on Edge only. I'll try a friend's SIM out and make sure it's not my account/IMEI issue, otherwise something has to be wrong with the phone, but I don't know what

There is no outage in my area because everyone that i know has T-mobile and there phone works fine. Re flash rom, gapps, kernel and problem still remains

Either me bringing it back to stock/oem lock then unlock or my phone fixed itself. At first when i was done bringing it back to stock, it was still saying i was on edge, then after about an hour when i tried to root my phone i noticed that 3g/h back up. I still dont know what exactly the root cause but whatever its fixed

Need more info....download samsung phone info and post a screenshot of the firmware tab. If your bootlader and baseband dont match, theres your problem. If they do, try reflashing stock (twice) then doing a tactory reset from the stock recovery right after. If after that the issue is still present....probably something else.....mabey hardware related. Good luckl

Do you use bluetooth? I had a very similar problem and figured out that the only time I had call audio was when I was using a bluetooth headset or the bluetooth in my car. I don't know what sets it off but I've done some searching on this problem and it appears to be common among GSM GS4 owners, and even doing stuff like a complete reset doesn't fix it.
The one fix that I did find, that helped some people, was to go into Google Now and disable "Okay Google" detection from any screen. Several people found that that worked. But I didn't have that feature enabled anyway so it didn't apply.
I don't know if the same problem occurs with CDMA GS4s; my wife has a Sprint GS4 and doesn't have the problem but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I think it was just AT&T and T-Mobile GS4 owners who reported this.

Edit:
Nevermind. It worked twice then I tried calling a different phone and it broke again. I will keep searching and update.
Original:
I have had this issue intermittently for the past year. It was fixed for about 6 months then two weeks ago started occurring again. Today I flashed a new Rom (PacMan) and the M919UVUFOK3_M919TMBFOK3_TMB firmware. That did not fix it. I was connecting to a 5Ghz WiFi so on a whim I forgot that network and made a call without WiFi enabled. Call worked!
So I connected to my 2.4Ghz WiFi and it is working again. I would try turning off WiFi and see if your calls go through if so it could be 5Ghz or the router...maybe a forget network / reconnect to network will fix it consistently.
Hope this helps you and if anything new comes up I will let you know.

So an update. I finally just gave up on it. My wife had an old phone I remembered (from 2 - 3 years ago) that was ran over and the digitizer broke. I just took her guts and put it in my phone and now it magically works. Hopefully it stays that way.
Should have done this years ago as my phone would no longer charge with the USB Cable nor was my SD Card accessible. Now it is all functioning right again.

So after flashing stock NB4 twice.....and factory resetting after from stock recovery, your still not getting call audio?.....doesnt make sense....try again and make sure the bootloader and baseband match.....and dont reboot into download from the OS.

For anyone having issues with no call audio through cell service but for some reason it works through data calls through whats app or facebook messenger, etc ,i have been having the same problem for awhile now. I believe i have traced it to be a hardware issue with the middle frame, when looking at the phone with the battery cover open on the top right over by where there are two markings R1 and L1. There is a module there labeled J-AT TMGA 7-3. When i was having issues i noticed that if i put slight pressure on that module my audio would fade back in on the call but if i put too much pressure it goes away again. If it is a hardware connectivity issue it would explain why slunked was able to get his phone working again by changing the guts in the unit. Im currently waiting for a middle frame and a blue cable for the antenna to confirm if this is indeed the issue.
