Hello! My girlfriend currently has this phone and she's been experience network drop problems. On the T-Mobile support site, it said that upgrading to Gingerbread would fix it, and it did for a few weeks, and then the problem occurred again. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem and fixed it. Thanks!
Have you tried a different sim card? Sometimes the sim is the problem

She took it to T-Mobile and they said it was the phone's sim card reader that was in the fault. :/
Sucks its still under warranty though right?

Guys would appreciate any suggestions you have (I have searched this forum and Google without success).
My Desire S is constantly losing it's network connection, I get an x above the signal meter and if I reboot sometimes I get a SIM error (it thinks there is no SIM installed) but sometimes rebooting or toggling Airplane mode cures the problem.
I have had the SIM out, cleaned the contacts and reseated it, had the battery out for a couple of hours and factory reset the phone (which I assumed would reset the radio) all without success.
I have an S-OFF desire running a stock ROM.
I have tried another SIM in my phone which works fine, my SIM in another phone which works fine but my SIM in my phone not.
Cheers.
Replace the sim or use ur sim after few hours...had the same issue....got it fixed by not using the sim for few hours....

Thanks, tried leaving the sim out but no joy, have ordered new sim but that means no phone for four days. At least I know it's not the phone.

Hello xda community. I recently won a bid for a galaxy s 2 skyrocket on ebay. When I got the phone I was not able to connect to any mobile net works, I have at&t. I don't know where to start to trouble shoot the problem. I don't know if it is a hardware or firmware issue, though I've flashed many roms kernels and radios trying to fix the issue. I can connect to the microcell in my house but i can't get signal anywhere else I go. Any ideas? sugguestions? tips? The guy I bought the phone from said he'd refund my money if I return the phone, but I don't want to have to return it if there is nothing wrong with it.
Thanks in advance.
You have an active sim card, right? If so it sounds like a hardware issue.

Does it have a custom ROM? If it is a 4.2.2 variant, you may want to install the UCMC 1 radio.

thanks friend, i will try to change the sim card an test if the problem still continue, good idea, thanks.
Is that the 2.3.3 baseband? Maybe is a baseband issue, try flashing the baseband fix. Also download the app GetRIL from the app market. It's free. Make sure your RIL and Baseband are matching.
First of all, I'm stock and running faux kernel. I started experiencing this problem yesterday when I had no data and I was outside (Where I usually get 4g speeds). Now I either get 1x data speeds or none. Is there any solution for this problem like hard reseting or something

That sounds like either a Verizon problem, or sometimes your phone wants to revert to an evdo state if it can't get a 3g or 4g signal.
Download the phone info app, and open it and click device information, make sure it says lte/cdma/evdo and not evdo only.
Sometimes the setting won't stick, so in that case I would either flash a new rom or go back to stock with Odin, ota update, and reroot again.
If it says lte/cdma/evdo, then I think it has something to do with verizons end.

Actually I tried something else... I took my sim card out of my s3 and put it into a friends verizon s3 and the data didn't work on his phone but once I put his sim card onto my s3, I had 4g and many speeds I thought never existed. So what does that mean?

Pulling your SIM helped your phone to relock onto Verizon towers. It just essentially resetted the prl, glad you got it working fairly easily.

Not exactly, because my s3 for some reason got 4g and 3g when I inserted my friends SIM card onto mine but on his s3, his data was acting like mine because he had my SIM in his s3... so that draws me in one conclusion, my SIM is damaged

Hi I've been having this issue ever since I rooted my phone in mid December I've only been receiving 3g not LTE yesterday I updated my nightly and I had 4g but then I updated my roaming using *228 and my LTE stopped working. Can anyone help with this issue or has seen this issue before?
I have gotten a new 4g sim all the options on the settings look correct

People reported that if you do *228 you kill your 4G and you need a new SIM card.
Yep you need a new SIM
