Rogers HTC one x. Strange thing happened last night. Signals related - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I got a new one x 2 days ago and its been working fine. However, my battery died last night and the phone turned off.
After plugging in the phone, the phone restarted but it would not connect to the network. I went in the settings and it said the network was disconnected. I tried changing bands from lte to gsm... nothing worked.
I restarted the phone a few times, still No signals.
I then did a factory reset and the signals came back.
I am not sure what happened. is this a software issue?
PS: I should add that this is a Rogers One X that I unlocked. I disabled all of the rogers apps

anyone?

Yes a lot of mobile network issues as well as dropped calls and freaky wi if. Im sure they are looking in to it. I exchanged mine for same reason. Hopefully the promised soon update will fix it. Normally restarts fix it. Sometimes it takes multiple restarts. More than one thread concerning these mobile data issues in general. I'm on the new Asian 1.88 just for those issues. Fingers crossed its fixed. Let u now in a few days at most.

So its software issue and not hardware right?
Thanks

So frustrated, about to return One X but seeking advice

All,
I have had the One X for just over a week now. Three times, I have had to hard reset the phone because it stops receiving / making calls, and data stops.
I tried searching the forums but it seems like issues are all over the board and couldn't really find something that was exactly my issue. If there is one, I apologize for the duplicate post.
Regardless, when the phone is in this state, it appears like everything is working. It shows I have great signal, the little 4G icon is there, indicating that everything is working.
Anyone else have this problem or could I possibly just have a bad unit? AT&T already swapped out the SIM card thinking that might fix it, but no luck.

I think you should swap out the phone as bad before returning it if that's the only issue you're having. mine seems flawless in that regard. I haven't missed or dropped a single call.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give that a go.
Definitely return it for new one...that problem is one I have not heard of and will probably go away once you have the new one. Good luck...badass phone for sure.

I don't recall ever having that problem. Mine was pretty random too, in fact it got so bad yesterday that I missed several important calls.
If I would restart the phone, I would get all my missed text messages and the voicemail (google voice) would tell me I have messages waiting..
Very frustrating.

I thought that might be my problem too, but where I could stand in one place and have the problem, restart the phone, and then not have the problem -- that leads me to believe there was something wrong with the phone.

My X started out ok, but these last couple of days I have NO signal anywhere. Also SMS/MMS is barely working. (and when it does, people are getting multiples) And its dropping pretty much every single call.
I just called my corp store, they have plenty in stock. I'm going to go exchange it. Should I ask for a new SIM also?
And my screen is perfect, here's hoping I get another good one...

However, AT&T's LTE phones are notorious for connection problems on non-LTE market. These LTE phones use a new APN called pta. I just had the same problem while traveling through PA yesterday. Lost data connections many times and had to reboot the phone at the end of the day to regain data connection of any kind.
So, it is AT&T's service and also the phone firmware that can't properly handle the fact that it can't receive any LTE signal in certain areas.

return it and get another phone, besides the One X, it's all hype anyway. The HTC vivid is a much more solid phone.
I had almost the same issue. My device was on wifi and would at random times just stop pulling data. Or at time just not make calls. I tried trouble shooting it but I was basically told since I didn't have it long I should get it replaced. I replaced it and the new device is perfect. I have not once had that issue again.

Who said I'm going to reture it. OneX, regardless all its problems is still way better than any alternatives AT&T have. There is no such thing as problem free Android phones. I've being many of them. They all have problems one way or another. Vivid with its ancient S3 CPU and SD screen just plain sucked. My SGS2 can kick its butt.
For me the form factor of One X, LTE speed, S4 processor and HD screen are the main things I pick One X over any other phones available on AT&T. These software bugs will be corrected overtime.
I just came back from my store. They had plenty in stock but said when that runs out, they have no idea when they will see anymore.
I have a brand new 1X, and a new SIM card. Hopefully this one works.
I stopped by a vzw store to look at the gnex and my hox side by side. I've decided to keep the HOX. Screen on the gnex was way too bright and I ran quadrant side by side on both phones. The hox blew the gnex out of the water.

Bought mine yesterday and this same issue happened to me today. Had full reception on 4G but could not send a text or place a call. Happened twice today, and I dont know if I want to return it ASAP or if its software related and may be fixed.
I had that problem 3 days after buying the phone. Data, calls, texts..tons of problems. Phone was unusable half the time. I went and exchanged it for another one. I am now at 6 days with the new phone. No problems. I hope it lasts.

SIM problem on my One XL (LTE)

Hi since I can't find a forum for the One XL I assume it's shared within this one.
I just got my One XL yesterday and it's been having what seems to be a SIM card problem. The phone will be normal sometimes but will lose all mobile connectivity suddenly. Is this a known problem? The connectivity comes back on its on but it could be after a few minutes or few hours. Apart from returning the phone, is there anything I can do? Note that WiFi works perfectly.
Yes sir that would be a common issue among the hox .

When you say "XL," so you mean an imported XL from Asia? Rogers? AT&T? The AT&T's the one having some radio issues. I don't think the Rogers' is. And if you imported yours there could be a number of reasons you're having connectivity issues.
@barryH_GEG: I live in Hong Kong and the One XL has the right bands for 4G and HSPA+.
@tyshemi: is there a software fix to this or is returning it the only option?

Gentlemen,
What the h.. is with this phone? I got it as well last Friday and I have exactly the same problem - it loses all mobile connectivity and only emergency calls can be done .. for which a SIM card won't be needed. It doesn't look like a software pronlem to me, it looks more like a hardware problem! I've seen this behavior immediately after I received the phone and I immediately went with the phone in a Vodafone shop. The guy did not look surprise at all. He took out the micro SIM for couple of times and after wards it worked OK. I went home and after couple oh hours it happened again!!!
@ HTC developers:
Gentlemen, are you joking with this device? What's going on in the testing team?
Indeed it is a LTE phone - and it is known already that there are lots of problems with the 4G software, but the SIM card not to be seen by the mobile? How could this be possible???
Please do something about this!
I will send back this device immediately!
Cheers
I myself have exchanged my HOX for this issue twice now. AT&T knows about this issue and refers to it as a manufacturing defect with the SIM card reader while not in a LTE area.

In Australia, we have this issue on our 32GB One XL. Apparently it's a particular version of micro SIM. One specific version has this issue, the other doest.
I've seen it happen a couple of times on mine since I got it. If it happens again, I'm going to put some very thing pieces of paper under the sim card to make it marginally thicker and press firmer against the contacts when it's inserted.

Hi guys,
Just to give you an update about my HTC ONE XL. Unfortunately, I have only bad news about it !
I went yesterday to Vodafone shop and they changed the micro SIM card. They gave me a different one - also a brand new one, and I have the same problem, the phone loses the connection with the SIM card. Since yesterday it happened already twice! I've seen some discussions here about the WiFi. Just to mention that in my case the Wifi can be used, only the network is gone and stays gone until I restart the phone.
HTC ONE X also loses the connection with the SIM?
My micro SIM card does not have a 4G subscription anyway..
Cheers
Try putting tape on the plastic side of the microSIM to see if maybe you can get a more solid connection?
My One XL would keep loosing reception and saying "no sim" even though it was clearly working. I deactivated my SIM pin and it seems to have stopped dropping out and saying "no sim" Give it a try.
I have One XL and I have no sim issues, it could be the piece that you use. As for the signal drop, it does happen to me sometime, and I think it tries to connect at LTE then goes back 3G. Try to force 3G only then try.
Setting on network menu could help too. Try *#*#4636#*#*

Been having the same issue and found it in the logs. Not sure if other people are seeing the same thing though. Post with info.
Hi guys,
I sent back the phone last week and yesterday I got a new one with a "newer" IMEI. Since yesterday, the phone did not lose the connection with the SIM card.
I was told that, indeed, some of the first HTC ONE XL modeles released on the market had the problem described by us on this forum/topic. The nature of the problem, hardware or software is not known to me so far but I believe it's a bit of both..
Cheers
This happened to me and updating radios to 1.88 or higher fixed it. did not work well with 1.85 radio. Radios dont come with custom roms. They have to be installed separately or with a ruu. There is a radio thread in development. You must be rooted. Ive only had 1 person tell me they still had problems after updating.. if it doesnt fix it, get another phone. Its a legit reason. Main reason for a phone is to make calls. kinda hard to do that with no mobile connection. :crying:
Edit: here is the radio thread. 1.88 or higher. 1.88 is my favorite. The telus seems to be great also. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694012

I recall the comments above. The connection with the SIM card was also lost for the new HTC ONE XL phone, but this time after about 40 hours !
Software running on this phone: 1.82.162.6
Android Version: 4.0.3
I have no other option but to send it back again, and go for a Samsung ..

i have question though.. the guys who have sim problem does your network drop from 3-4 bars to 0?.. in mine i have noticed that it actually drops to 1 and then only goes to 0 bars for 2 sec.. then catches up... but if i keep it to gsm only mode.. i get full bars all the time... what do you guys think is the problem.. network or the phone has bad way to switch between the network types?
and jsut in general the network fluctuates a lot on this phone.

Some calls not coming in and late texts

Had this in the wrong section so moved it.
Not sure what this issue could be. A lot of people say every so often that they call me back to back at times. I get no missed calls notifications. Same with text sometimes. Not sure if its ATT or what. Happens at home and when I'm out. Anyone else experience this?
I'm rooted, Rohans B5 kernel, clean flash to King Kang. This has been happening for awhile before this ROM. I'm on WiFi and the signal bar is full

I had a similar situation recently where I was receiving texts, but no one was receiving mine. Found out AT&T was in the process to switching LGE on for a number of towers in my area, so I think service was semi-disrupted during that time. Fyi, I was running CleanRom 5.0 with BeastMode 3.4 Kernel.

I just called today and they had to put a ticket in. They reset my connection to their towers so hopefully that's the fix

I think I responded to you in the other thread thought I would follow up. So ATT did the reset on their end issue came back in about a week they said they wanted to replace the SIM card, and if that doesn't do the trick they will replace the phone. Fortunately it is my wife's phone which I had already returned to stock over the issue.
I had the same thing at my house a while back. It happened off and on for a couple weeks, then never happened again. Think this was due to network repairs or upgrades, like the previous response suggested. If nothing has changed on your phone, and it was working fine before, than its a network issue.

Nexus 5 - Dropping network

My S3 died last week so I purchased a Nexus 5 and I've had nothing but issues with it since.
In 6 days it has dropped network about 10 times and just displays 'Emergency calls only' until I reboot it. It seems to be completely random.
Twice it has done it whilst streaming over 4g from YouTube, but it has also just done it whilst dormant overnight. I woke up the other day to find 'Emergency Calls Only' despite it being fine when I went to sleep.
After searching google I can now see that this seems to be a common issue with Nexus 5.
I'm seriously considering taking it back and getting something else, although I'd love to keep it if it works properly. Does anyone know the cause of the issue or have any workarounds? As I use the phone for out of hours calls for work, I can't afford to have it drop network whilst in my pocket and me not know about it...

You have to unlock the bootloader to try different radio's. There is a thread about it in the general section. Try to reinsert the sim first. It fixed it for me when I had the issue

OK so I tried re-inserting the sim but still dropping network. The weird thing is that it has done 3 times in the exact same location on my way to work whilst I've been streaming. It's as if it loses 4g signal in that location but then fails to switch to 3g and instead I get left with no network connection / no bars (empty triangle). It then fails to pick up the network again until I reboot (tried re-registering on network and airplane mode on/off).

I think I'll take the phone back before unlocking bootloader and trying a new radio, but any other suggestions before I do that ? Factory reset ?

I never had it with my S3 in 2 years, using the same route into work every day. I can't remember my S3 ever dropping network once....or if it did it picked up the network again automatically. Only difference was I wasn't on LTE with that.
It's not just that location though, it's happened 8 other times in other place nowhere near. I only made note of the same location because it's where I get off the tram coming into work. This morning I wasn't streaming or anything, it was just in my pocket, but I'd installed light flow to audibly alert me when it lost connection.

Yeah I've seen suggestions about changing to 3g, but that defeats the object of me having an LTE phone and paying for 4g service. Thanks, I think I'll take the phone back. My mate has an N5 and although he said he'd experienced it in the past, he hasn't since being on 4.4.3 / 4.4.4

OK so I've been and swapped my N5 for a new one...they also gave me a new sim. Fingers crossed !!
I guess I am too late to add anything but anyway here is what I did and may be of help. After pulling out the sim, use a pencil eraser and rub it across the contacts on the sim card. If the contacts somehow get too much oil residue from finger tips or other "impurities" on the contact, you will get incomplete contacting sometimes and it works other times. The eraser will clean those contacts up for a better dirt free connection. When I was a electronics tech in the hi tech field, I fixed many issues that were just contact problems and the eraser did the trick. I have had this same problem on my other phones (blackberries and androids) and it seemed to work.

Thanks. Either the new phone or the new sim seem to have fixed the issue. I've not had a network disconnect since (been 5 days now).

It does it regardless of:
Smart network switch being on or off
Aggressive WiFi/cell hand over is on or off
Keep mobile data turned on is on or off
I cleared cache both through recovery and phone maintenance, and I also reset network settings to no avail.
I've never dropped the phone and this started randomly while plugged in. It was at 19% and I plugged it in and noticed it out of the blue.
I'm on a US unlocked (non-carrier) S8+, and SIM works fine with no issues in my Moto X Pure, so it's not the SIM.
Please help guys!
Okay, I popped the SIM into my Galaxy S4 for ****s and giggles, and it's also doing it there, but not on my Moto X. So I'm gonna have to have a chat with T-Mobile tomorrow. Don't get it, the SIM is fairly new, is it a Samsung thing?

Hey guys. This popped up out of nowhere
My data disconnects, quickly reconnects, then disconnects again and again unless I turn on my wifi, then data seems to stick until I turn off wifi again.

But to affect my other Galaxy device and not my Motorola?
My S4 and Moto X are rooted, but not my S8 is not, yet it affects the S4 exactly the same when swapping the SIM in and out?

It was happening to me as well like 1hr ago. But it was just outage from T-Mobile.
It's fixed!

I was saying it affects my rooted S4, but not my rooted Moto X when I swapped my SIM into each phone.
But member Britchel says it was affecting them as well, and it was just T-Mobile, nothing to do with the phones themselves, so it's all solved now.
I know it's solved but, here http://bgr.com/2017/07/06/t-mobile-down-lte-not-working/

Awesome, thanks! ?
Going back and reading my posts, it sounds like English is my 5th language. Sorry guys, I noticed the issue right before I was going to go to sleep, so I was half awake at 3am trying to figure out WTF was going on.
