It is less likely a poor cut job and more likely a faulty sim card to begin with. I do notice that the harder the radio has to work, the hotter the back glass gets. You may have not noticed your sim card was not up to snuff with your previous phone because it didn't have a back glass that heats up like the N4.
[Nexus 4 General] drawkcaB:
Even my SIM cut with a SIM cutting tool gave me some problems which were extremely unusual and i thought my phone had a bad radio. Swapped SIMs and life seems good again.

Worth mentioning maybe that the gold circuit on my sim was much much larger than on newer SIMs. It was almost the entire micro SIM size. My current micro can be chipped down to a nano without losing any circuitry.
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
I noticed no difference when moving from my hand cut (without a template) micro SIM and a factory produced micro SIM.
[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
You know the sales person at the T-Mobile store I go to said they don't sell micro SIMs, so he has to cut a normal one if I want a replacement. I wanna compare a micro to a cut sim but it looks like the store isn't helpful. And do you guys know if current customers have to pay for micro sims?
[Nexus 4 General] deathw15h:
Simple trick

Bad sim cutters generally leave slivers on the edges of the newly cut sim. A simple trick is to take a nail file and file the edges smooth. Make sure ur sim now sits flush into the card tray of the phone.

Slip it in.. Problem solved.

Hit thanks if this helped! :) :cowboy:
[Nexus 4 General] Teo032:
The thing is that there are actually different types of SIM. I had an old one... about 5 years old.. that didn't allow my lte to work, swapped for one of the new ones and lte worked.... this is with doing the lte hack of course... but I don't think it affected the heat from my phone. But every phone is different and there are "older" SIMs that could be a factor. Not like this is going to go anywhere since nobody is going to experiment this theory anyways lol
[Nexus 4 General] theexister:
I bought a Nexus 4 on the 22nd June. The store guy used a cutter to cut my sim into a micro sim.

From the very beginning I noticed that the battery was draining very quickly even when I would not use the phone at all (for example one night it was 75% when I went to bed and morning it was below 50%). I had no apps installed and all data connections (WiFi/3G) were turned OFF.

The max life I got out of the battery was not more than 18 hours! (1 hr screen time)

I installed Battery Stats Plus and found that the Sim Toolkit was the top of the list in the wake usage. I was surprised and then came across threads like this and figured it might be an issue with the micro sim.

I got a new micro sim from my carrier (Vodafone India) on the 29th June. On comparing the two SIMs, I found that older cut SIM had one of the edges at a slight angle instead of being perfectly straight. This allowed some play of the sim in the phones sim slot. The new sim has no play what so ever.

With the new sim, the battery life has improved significantly. Average time is close to 1day 6hrs (with WiFi ON most of the time and a few calls).

I'm now strongly inclined to believe the micro sim should be either cut to perfection or better to just use a new one provided by your carrier.

I'll attach a few screen shots later (I'm at work).

Dude I'm in he same boat as you are and I've given up hope after hundreds of attempts and hours of research. MMS wouldn't work on any custom ROMs I installed... Not even with GO SMS PRO. I could get MMS on GO SMS PRO when I was stock 4.0.4 FH13 but hat stock build was buggy. And I don't want to have to use GO SMS PRO for MMS anyway... If u ever catch on to anything PLEASE let me know.. But no one on this forum has been able to help me with this issue guess not many Ppl have our phone flashed to VZW with MMS working?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] juniorAG:
I found a solution on YouTube but it involves using Go sms pro:/

But it worked for me

First go to the dialer and dial ##3282#

Then go to mmsc and type : http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms

Third go into multimedia and type this as follows there should be 4 thing's to change

0.0.0.0

0

0.0.0.0

8080

Then open up go sms and go to settings and advanced ..mms settings and enable apns configuration

Under mmsc type the same as the one at the top

And then go to mms port and type 8080

Reboot

Should work

That's it .. it worked for me hope it works for you hope you understand

Im on an epic 4g touch by the way
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vcs714:
Hi,

After applying the firmware update to i9500 I find that the performance has reduced drastically. Prior to the update I faced issues of phone getting overheated (when browsing especially) and this has been resolved , but the strange item that I observed was Antutu performance benchmark which reported a score of 27000+ before upgrade has now reduced to 17000 +. Billion counter takes 40 + secs to count to a billion before upgrade it used to take 17+ secs.

The lag problem that was visble before has now improved.

I feel that my S4 is now working like a S3 that I used to own earlier

Have any of you observed similar issues?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vcs714:
performance issues after applying Samsung firmware update 19500XXUBMEA

I already reset my phone to factory defaults , the issue is not about the phone not working/hanging but the phone performance . I feel that lower powered cores (i.e. the A7 cores) are the only one's being used after the firmware update . The phone has been stabilized at the cost of performance (i.e the A15 cores are not used at all).

If you have referenced the S4 Antutu scores they report a performance of 24000+ for Snapdragon core and 27000+ for Octa-Core variants. My previous S3 used to report scores of 16000_ on Antutu. I disable power saving mode while running Antutu benchmark.

I suspect that there is drastic performace capping done on the phone via the firmware update which is not correct.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
You should do a factory reset after an update if you're facing issues :)

Just out of curiosity I tried the billion counter on my i9505. It took 8.8 seconds to count to 1 billion.

So even 17 seconds seems slow to me dude.

performance issues after applying Samsung firmware update 19500XXUBMEA

I did the factory reset after updating my phone to 19500XXUBMEA :)

I tried a couple of custom ROMS earlier Omega and Wanamlite as well but was not very satisfied , it is not the issue with the ROMS but from the start s4 variant used (i9500) had heating issues, lag issues .

I am specifically trying to find out if i9500 models updated to build number JDQ39.19500XXUBMEA have reported this issue.

I have the exact same problem as OP. The difference is I am on i9505.

I had a score of about 2400 on antutu, and now I get only 1700. The CPU's score is almost half it was before update, and RAM is about 1/3 slower too.

The GPU stayed the same. Also the brightness is a bit lower since the update too. If anyone knows a solution it would be greatly appreciated.

Got my new XDAIIi this week and really disapointed to find this isn't fixed

my settings are:-

Please can someone help me?

Its really frustrating

My contacts List look like this

COLUMN ONE COLUMN TWO LETTER

NAME 1 07796****87 M

etc....

Is this how they should look?

If you click on tools there is another menu

LIST VIEW SETTINGS

> show ABC tabs

> Show contact names Only

COUNTRY REGION SETTINGS

>area code ________ (blank)

>country/region - united kingdom

Does this look right?

My mobile contacts are not prefixed, and the number stored is the number as you would dial it from any UK phone.

There is no Area Code in the other menu as shown above, if thats where the problem is?

Its annoying as I thought O2 would ship the phone working, I had this iwth my original XDA and never dreamed this would still be an issue.

Thanks for any advice!

Doesn't matter. As long as you unroot and relock the bootloader, bring it back and tell them it stopped working. You should be under warranty.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] _MetalHead_:
I exchanged my 64gb for warranty, bootloader unlocked with a modified stock ROM on it and had no issues. In fact, I have exchanged NUMEROUS bootloader unlocked devices for warranty and have never had a single issue. I think I sent 5 One Xs back, all unlocked.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Skizzy034:
I agree with MetalHead. This is the first I've ever heard of a device ever being denied warranty service. Are you sure it wasn't because it might have gotten wet? I thought I read that it doesn't matter whether the software is custom if there is a hardware problem. If it was denied because of the bootloader being unlocked then it was probably because you told them. Next time just send it in. I've done it MANY times.

P.S. There actually is a way to go back to complete stock.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Nick281051:
That's also because you sent it to htc and not at&t obviously.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] dborgo:
There's a big difference in exchanging the phone with AT&T and getting a warranty repair through HTC. An AT&T store will not care and likely will not even know how to check the boot loader. HTC sent me pictures of the screen showing that I had unlocked the device to prove I was out of warranty. If there is a way to get it totally back to stock, with boot loader locked, and HTC not to be able to tell, I have not heard of it.

My question is why did you send it to HTC? ATT offers a 1 year warranty on it. If you raise hell they might even replace it on the spot, since it was only a week out. Just ask for a manager. Always go to the ATT corporate stores. Doesnt matter if you purchased it online, as long as it is an ATT branded phone.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] crabnebula:
Just want to confirm that I've had the same experience with a One X in the past.

Was denied warranty because the phone had an unlocked bootloader, even though it was clearly a hardware issue and HTC themselves admitted this.

If you read the disclaimer carefully on HTCDev, it does not say the warranty is systematically voided, but that if the phone is rendered unusable by the user, it may not be covered under warranty.

Ironically their warranty statement also says that only the hardware is warrantied, and not the software.

IMHO if someone had the time and energy to challenge them legally, I doubt HTC would win.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] dborgo:
Wow, I really did things wrong. I've been lucky over the years and never had a phone that needed to be returned or serviced. I obviously didn't understand the process. I contacted the manufacturer instead of AT&T and got screwed. Never understood AT&T's warranty, never needed to use it. Doesn't help that my nearest AT&T corporate store is 2 hours away. So really there's no use of the manufactures warranty when you buy the phone through AT&T. I guess only those who purchase a phone directly from HTC (dev edition etc) need the manufacturer's warranty. Good to know I can confidently go back to what I know best, flashing roms and enjoying all that XDA has to offer.

Thank you all for your humbling advice. After all these years, my noob status is staunchly in place :o

Pretty sure if you unlock the phone and need a repair after unlocking, HTC cannot legally deny the repair under warranty as the problem has to be directly as a result of the unlock. It's the same ruling that applies to the automotive industry.
