[HTC One X] Slaytanic:
Hi,

I have a problem with my HTC one x.. I have a pin set on the SIM card which I enter as soon as I power on the phone... The problem is that sometimes I unblock the phone to use it and I find it one the PIN screen, as if the SIM was reset... Does it happen to any of you? May it be a software bug or a hardware bug related to the SIM tray? I've written to the support to notify the problem and make them consider it for future fw releases and they answered me telling me how to remove the PIN from the phone O_o

It is quite annoying since if you do not unblock the phone you risk to miss some calls and sms if the SIM gets blocked... I hope I won't need to send it to HTC...

I've just published my first android application, SIM Locked Notifier, which enables you to activate a ringtone or vibration (or both) when PIN/PUK is required. In this way you avoid missing calls or messages when your phone is out of the network, waiting for a PIN.

Get SIM Locked Notifier on Google Play!

I hope you find it useful, yesterday it warned me two times about this PIN issue (I'm happy because my app works, but I'm worried about this issue... hope they solve it soon).

The app is not heavy, it does nothing until the SIM State changed broadcast event is fired and the state is PIN/PUK required.

REMEMBER: run the app at least once after installation to enable the SIM Locked Notifier monitor. You must do this only once after installation, then it works even after a reboot.
[HTC One X] H-Cim:
Just a question to be sure: you aren't putting the device in "Flyplane Mode" right ? Because that makes the device lose all signal and requires to re-enter the pin code on activating.

Nevertheless this could be some kind of signal issue or an issue with the sim. Did you perhaps cut the micro-sim by yourself ? If so you could try to get a new one or try the sim card of a friend to see if that one works.

If none of the above is possible just try a hard reset (not a factory reset) and remove the sim card, check for any kind of dust or damage and plug it back in.

If problem continues I'd go back to your store and ask them if they know what to do.
[HTC One X] Slaytanic:
No, it was not in airplane mode.. I've cut the sim at the beginning and after I noticed this problem I've bought a new micro SIM.. sure the bad signal is a problem where I work, which is the place where I've experienced the problem more times.. how is a hard reset done? Do I loose my data? Thanks

The same happens to my phone. 5 minutes ago, while having no signal, but using wi fi, my phone asked pin code. i have a 3 micro sim, not a cut one
[HTC One X] jeyml:
Beware this is a great problem.My wife had a Nokia E63 if i remember good and she had the same problem with it.Several times a day the phone asked her to enter the PIN.When she got the phone to Nokia they gave her a new one because the motherboard was faulty and it kinda makes sense because the sim reader is attached to the motherboard and the only way you can fix it is to get a new motherboard.Get your phone to repair immediately.
[HTC One X] peopleschamp:
i don't think is an hardware issue. it does not happen every day and only staying for a long time without signal. i think i is the radio software. in fact it happens after installing ota update
[HTC One X] mucek4:
Hello,

don't blame me for my first post. Exactly the same problem happens to me also. HTC ONE x updated 2 days ago and if phone gets to an area of no signal it askes for PIN again.

Simobil (Vodafone) in Slovenia
[HTC One X] Slaytanic:
I've updated this morning to 1.29, let's see if it solves the problem.. btw today I've noticed that if it looses signal because there is bad signal in the area, sometimes when you exit that area it keeps saying that there is no signal.. swimching to 2g+3g from 2g only or vice versa it makes it reconnect to the cellular network.. these seem some sort of radio bugs...

[HTC One X] Slaytanic:
It happened again, where signal was bad, even on fw 1.29

[HTC One X] dmitry.petrov:
Same here

Have the same problem, only without PIN (I have not enabled it). So the phone loses signal (it's pretty weak), and then just hangs in 'no network' mode.

Also when starting up, I often see 'preparing SIM' message, and SIM application (SIM Tools or something like that) is 'unavailable' when I try to run it.

I'll try to find out if it depends on provider, but my Desire with the same provider works just fine right here side-to-side with OneX.

Hope it's a software bug, not hardware - I've bought my OneX on Clove with shipping to Russia, it'll take time to ship it back for repair or replace, and official service centers here will not take my phone, I think :(

I have the same problem on my Three 1.28 firmware here in the UK.....

Noticed it after it got updated from 1.26.....
[HTC One X] Slaytanic:
Just updated to the new firnware, which has new radio fw.. maybe the issue is solved now.. I think my app will have very very few downloads, btw it has been a good test project to learn a bit about android :-)

[HTC One X] godutch:
For a while it seemed to me it was a software problem but today I decided to look around in the XL forum if I could find people having the same problem, since they have basically the same hardware but a very different radio and it looks like they too have the problem. I think it most be a mechanical problem but since I unlocked I am out of warranty. Maybe we can think of a solution. I tried sticky tape on the back but that doesn't work, maybe the sim shorts, like it did for iphone users: http://www.iphoneradar.co.uk/news/iphone-4-signal-fix/

anyway maybe we can think of a fix, a way to scrape the sim/add stick/ bend sim tray so it won't happen
[HTC One X] Pietje_1985:
Is this topic still open? I have the same situation here, What would be the best thing to do now?
[HTC One X] Slaytanic:
I've just installed the OTA update and I'm waiting to see if it happens again in the next day.. I still don't know if it is a radio firmware bug or an hardware bug of our HOX... In the meanwhile you can use my app, SIM Locked Notifier, to notify yourself if the phone is asking for the SIM pin code (it saves you from loosing important calls..).

REMEMBER: launch the app once at least after installation in order to make it working.. then it automatically works even after a reboot.

[HTC One X] godutch:
Well I finally found out the cause of the problem, it an improper fit of the tray in the tray holder, a slight bend of the cause or the tray can cause a disconnect. If you still have warranty claim it, else you could try buying a new tray (cheap around 5 euros on ebay) or if you are adventurous you could tray opening your hox, be sure to tape the buttons before opening it!!!! and watch the videos before you do it
[HTC One X] Slaytanic:
It happens to me only when there is very bad signal, if it was the tray it should happen even on good signal, right?

Inviato dal mio HTC One X con Tapatalk 2
[HTC One X] godutch:
If the sim disconnects, first the signal will drop, I believe there is some time out, if it disconnects for a certain time it will ask for the pin again, else it will just reconnect. At first I was convinced it was a software issue because that's what baadnwz (the maker of the insertcoin roms) said, and he has made some changes to the framework which improve the issue but after having opened my hox I am convinced it's a mechanical problem. If you don't believe me try to open your hox with the sim tray inserted and see that you will get sim disconnect errors when you start applying force
[HTC One X] mayurh:
so you believe its a hardware issue?

im sending my hox in , im so fed up of this issue.

it cant be the thickness of the sim card cause without even touching the phone the signal comes back after like 20 mins and it prompts again
[HTC One X] w00dstock:
SIM asks for PIN multiple times during day

I had this problem on my Vodafone_De HTC One X with firmware 2.17.161.4 and 2.1204.167D1.21 radio. The problem occurred randomly through the day despite the signal strength.

After trying almost every possible workaround (hard reset, GSM Only, disabling "fast boot" in Power Menu), here is what finally helped me with this problem:

1) Dial *#*#4636#*#*

2) Open Phone Info Menu

3) Turn off!!! IMS Registration required

Hope this helps somebody with similar issue.
[HTC One X] mayurh:
let us know how it goes

would be good if this worked permanently
[HTC One X] w00dstock:
3 days without sim loss. Before this "fix" it occurred 2-3 times a day.

And I don't think that my problem was mechanical because it happened even when the phone was lying on the desk at night.

Also I'm not the only one whom it helped. There is number of people at the russian forum who says it solved this issue - random sim loss even with 5-bar signal.

Gonna test it till the end of the week and report back.
[HTC One X] stayirie:
I have the same problem also with Vodafone Germany. I had so much hope, but your solution doesn´t work. But I noticed that the problem only occures with AOSP Roms. So I think I have to go on searching for a solution.

Same problem but with desire X

Hi

Like title said, i had the same problem with my desire X, so i'll try your solution and i'll tell you the result

Thanx a lot

SIM card shorting? Had same problem- Cleaning SIM fixed.

Over the first month I had the HTC One X I kept getting SIM Not Loaded errors. Switching airplane mode on then off fixed. Then I got the PUK code locked error. Nothing I did would fix that. Got the PUK from AT&T (I'm not under contract), but when I went to the dialer, it did not prompt for the unlock code. There was nothing I could do to enter the unlock code.

I pulled the SIM and noticed it had finger prints on the contacts. I wiped the contacts with a tissue (you might try a pencil eraser as well, the old standby for gold fingers), reinserted the SIM, booted the phone and the error was gone!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SB1965:
I Just received my HTC incredible 2 phone from Ebay, it was supposed to be unlocked and with a 16G Micro SD. Well I didn't get the SD and the phone seems to be locked. I bought a unlock code but the phone does not even give me a chance to put the numbers in. I like the phone and like the HTC sense, if I rooted it I would want the same set up but without the Verison crap!

This is what happens.

1st on start up it asks for my pin code to the sim

2nd The Pop up "sim card is not vailid please insert a Verison sim cad"

3rd Then the pop up "Change Mode No network found select global" I enter (yes)

When I go into Wirless networks/ mobile networks/prefferd network

I select GSM/UMTS mode, then select GSM only. It Pops up "Sim Lock can not use phone unless for emergency only.

During the time it wants to defaul to CDMA and does come up with the pop up asking to change to Global Mode.

I live in Costa Rica and there are three carriers.

My questions are:

1.) Do i need to root?

2.) Can I install the HTC sense apps and software with out the Verison.

3.) Is there a work around for this with out rooting?

Again it seems like a great phone and I want to use this to the fullest functions.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
This is the original Incredible. The Incredible 2 forums are further down in the list.

I don't think rooting will help with network related issues though but for device specific help you should check out the incredible 2 forums.

i try to connect to my wifi at home, but all it does is reset after trying to connect. Is there anything i can do that isn't a hard reset?
[Acer Iconia A500] Balistyx:
I had the same issue. Searched for an answer, then succumbed and did a factory reset. Before doing the reset I turned wifi off for long enough to back up most of my files (gamesaves, etc) to pc via USB. All is good after the reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] CreekDirt:
I am really trying to like this Player 5, but it just seems super buggy. It lags, badly in everything I want to do on it so enable to determine if I am going to keep it I would like to root and try a different rom.

With my SGSII and my Note I use Odin ver1.85. Can I use that version on the USA Player 5?

I would like to slightly OC so can someone suggest an Odin flashable kernel that OCs and delivers CWM?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Skeledr0id:

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] CreekDirt:
That is the rom I wanted to try as well. Much thanks for the link to the kernel!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] CreekDirt:
So i guess I would flash the oldest tar file with Odin and then reboot into recovery and get updated with the latest zip? Entropy's kernel that is.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] CreekDirt:
I flashed Entropy's kernel that is listed as a tar file first. Then rebooted into recovery and flashed the latest zip kernel posted in his thread which brought me up to speed.

I then tried to install SuperUser from Google market and it did not deliver root. I had to download the zip from this androidsu.com link http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip and then flash it through CWM in recovery.

It is now rooted and my backups have been made.

Now I need to find that thread that lets you swap internal sdcard space with an external sdcard. If it runs fast enough I will have a 64gb Player 5 :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abstractbeats:
I only want to overclock for particular things, like being able to run certain N64oid and FPSE (with OpenGL plugin) games with minimal frameskip, and am a stock min/max 1GHz/249MHz the rest of the time. I really, really like this phone and never feel comfortable when I do it.

If high voltage, current and heat are potentially damaging to a CPU, but each of these are stable for me without heating the phone up too much when gaming, which of these max frequencies / voltages would you think of as being safe - at least for the duration of the game?

(a) 1.2GHz, 1200mV (stock 1GHz voltage).

(b) 1.4GHz, 1200mV (stock 1GHz voltage, -50mV down on the default for this frequency in Doomkernel v13 3013)

(c) 1.6GHz, 1250mV (+50mV above what the phone uses out of the box, -50mV down on the default for this frequency in the kernel)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TehTimeb0mb:
Whatever is stable. Every phone if different. I personally use 1.4ghz, 1.5ghz causing the phone to restart. there are many people who cant go over 1.21ghz.

Just trial and error. but probably B, C sounds like it would be a toaster
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abstractbeats:
Yeah, C makes me worry about turning my phone into a pop tart.

As long as there's no problem for other parts of the phone that need the juice like the cell radio etc it seems my phone can do 1.4GHz (possibly 1.5GHz, although I've not monitored temp. for long) at the stock 1GHz voltage. 1.6GHz and my phone freezes and reboots. Seems funny to get such a big overclock for "free" though. I guess I can't complain.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bman55:
My phone is having some problems and is now factory stock. If I have root files on my internal storage will they void my warranty if a technician see the files ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sunsparc:
We generally don't even check.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ascertion:
I came from the Epic Touch 4G and I loved that I could get 4 hours of screen time all the time on nearly any rom. On the galaxy nexus, I've gotten Max 2 hours and I've tried all kernels and roms so far. Am I doing something wrong or is this phone not optimized as well as the epic touch is at battery? I love the phone but I noticed to get speed out of it (gpu) it uses a lot more battery than the previous phone. Should I take this back and hold out for the evo lte? I got another week to decide. I do want to get lte though. Its not in my area yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
The screen (and a few other factors) is just gonna drain a bit more on this device then the SGSII. Make sure you have LTE turned off (should be "CDMA only" by default).

Some of the drain is probably "new phone syndrome" where you're using your phone differently than your previous one because its new. Most people here are getting about 3 hours of screen on w/ 15 hours usage total, with normal usage. YMMV though of course.

When LTE comes on the drain will get worse. And it won't be solved by the Evo 4G LTE. It has (basically) the same sized screen and similar specs, but only a slightly larger battery (2000mAh vs 1850mAh)... don't expect it to do any better than the GNex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ascertion:
It's literally the 720 lines of pixels that's making it drain faster? Craap. I have brightness on nearly all the way lowest, with GPS, Bluetooth and 4g off. I even have sound on silent. No haptic feedback aside from the soft captivate buttons. I like 720p but if it's going to drain faster then I may just hold off on it for now until a better high end lte phone comes out.

I used my epic touch to death consecutively and it never drained this quick, even on stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeCareth:
You must have installed something that is keeping the CPU alive. I have a GNex with stock battery running AOKP and Lean Kernel. I actually tested it with 4G off and screen brightness at Auto running slacker with the screen on continuously. I got about 3:45 min of screen time with about 20% battery left.

I would use CPUSpy to find out what is killing your battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I'm not necessarily saying that it's just the screen that's going to hurt the battery, but its the whole package. With a 100% stock phone I wouldn't at all expect more than 3hrs of screen on w/ normal usage.

As the above poster said, you may have something keeping your phone awake. Could look at an app like Better Battery Stats and monitor it for a couple days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swbf2lord:
I love the Galaxy Nexus. Traded my Rezound for it. I get about 5 hours total battery life with the screen on using AOKP and the stable LeanKernel overclocked to 1350 MHz.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Febby:
I just want to throw in my two cents.... I love the nexus because I can finally enjoy a perfect AOSP ROM without effort... It stops me from flashing ROM's many times a week lol!

Oh yeah, compared to the E4GT, the pictures taken in portrait mode are actually saved in portrait for when uploaded to sites directly from phone or send over MMS to friends. No more being forced to take pictures in landscape mode.

LTE, I live in Los Angeles Country so I can't wait to enjoy LTE =)

Buyers remorse? No, I might thought sale the phone in 1 month though just to profit and buy the Evo LTE and resale on another contract and resale.
