Phone has no signal, but still getting data - Verizon Droid Charge

I recently flashed the Eclipse ROM, and have been using it a couple weeks without any problems. Today, I looked at my phone and saw it was searching for service, though I still have 4G. I still can receive and send texts but get no notifications, and i can't make or receive calls. I've tried restarting the phone, taking out the battery, taking out the SIM card, putting it in Airplane mode, and turning on and off mobile data, but nothing has worked so far. I was going to try to return to stock using Odin, but Odin isn't recognizing the phone when i plug it in. Any ideas?

I had a similar issue, though reseating the SIM card worked for me. After it happened 3 times in a week, I complained to VZW and they issued me a new SIM card. I haven't had it happen again. *knock on wood*

SIM/phone does not turn on every other reboot

Ever since upgrading to AT&T 2.2, I have a had an issue that on every other reboot, the phone radio does not turn on. I am not getting a SIM error, or any other error indication, nor does the phone go to airplane mode (bluetooth and wifi work). If I check phone settings, I get phone # unknown and no phone signal. Once I shut the phone down and turn it back on again, phone service is back.
I'd suspect a SIM issue, but this did not happen on 2.1. Could this be a bad flash (I could not get Kies Mini to push the firmware, I had to install via Odin)? Has anyone else seen this kind of flakiness?
Bump
Is anyone else seeing intermittent issues of the phone thinking it doesn't have a SIM installed? The good news is that I have not had two reboots in a row with this problem, the bad news is that I do see this on nearly 50% of boots.
I dont have the problem, if it does happens it only happens like once a week for me, it usually fixes it by going into airplane and back to regular

I tried that. On my phone, that does not remedy the situation. The SIM itself has not moved since the update (I can't remember if I pulled it when I ran the upgrade), so I don't think it's a loose contact.
att can fix
Bring the SIM and phone into ATT, they will fix it for you there, hopefully for free, that could work, just unroot before and unflash if you did, then say you have SIM problems and then tell them that you had it in during the update, sometimes that causes problems
I have this same issue. Yesterday after about 5 reboots the phone would not pick up any signal... at times and after several minutes, some signal would show up and then disappear again... After about the fifth time, I turned off WiFi, because it had been on the whole time and that fixed the problem. Signal came back after a while and was stable. Turning WiFi back on did not bring back the problem. I guess Froyo just does not like the WiFi being on when booting the phone. Hopefully this can help others fix this same issue when encountered.

No service, not even calls...

Ok I was at work today took my phone out of my pocket an suddenly had no service, which is weird because I usually have 3-4 bars inside the building, and it was working fine 5 min before that. So I went outside and still nothing.
Did the whole power cycle, remove the battery, airplane mode on and off, then even resorted to factory reset. Still Nothing. At home plugged it into usb, tried a bunch of stuff nothing... WiFi works fine, but no 3G, roaming, no cell connection at all...cant test 4G
So anyone have a fix for this... otherwise its a trip to the Verizon store tomorrow.
Ps. I have not rooted this phone yet, and have had it less than 2 weeks.
I have a similar issue too. 3G would fail after sending a text message and sometime while tethering and missing a call, ALL signal was gone. In either case I would just reboot the phone and it would start working again.
THEN.... my 3G totally disappeared and VZN is now sending me a new phone.

you may need a new SIM card

[Q] Problems registering with network [SOLVED]

I have been having problems with my phone recently. I was previously running stock 2.1 rooted on Wind mobile. It had been working fine since I bought it in Dec 2010.
I seem to recall leaving my phone unplugged for a short amount of time (like a couple hours) and then when I picked it up the battery had been completely drained (while idle). I plugged it in and started it up after a bit and the battery was suddenly running super hot, and it would reboot quickly after starting. The only time it stayed on long enough to check the temperature I saw 57c. I left it to charge and came back and the battery temperature seemed to be normal again.
However now since then I have been having a lot of trouble registering to the Wind network. Half the time it is showing as roaming, or cannot connect at all. Sometimes, like as I am typing this, it will show that I am connected to the home zone. I can make calls now, but I cannot receive any. I have flashed the phone to CM7.2, and initially the phone worked but the next day it started having the registration problem again.
I tried the SIM card on another phone and it worked. Anyone have any suggestions?
Or you got fryed your phone module.. or fryed sim card.
First of all i'll recommend to replace or try another sim.
Just a little update...
It seems to have been working better in the past week, I could connect properly 90% of the time, but couldn't sent any text messages.
I went to replace my SIM card at the store, they gave me a new one and now it seems to be working 100% fine. So I guess the sim card was the problem.
Something to note is that the sim card was the original one I got when I signed up, and my permanent normal number wasn't on the card, only the temporary one assigned to me for the first day. So that may have been causing the problems I started having.

[Q] HTC ONE m7 will not read sim

I have an HTC ONE m7 that is about a year old and is rooted and running omni rom. It has been rooted for about 6 months and I had been running cyanogonmod and everything was running fine until last week when I got the dreaded sim card error. a restart of the phone did the trick. 2 days later it happened again and this time a restart did not work and my phone was out of commission for about 4 hours as I tried everything to fix it (including a full wipe of cyanogen and a fresh install with omni rom) with no success. Then one random time I restarted it popped back up and everything was fine. Now over the last few days it keeps giving me the sim error and only goes away after random amounts of time and restarts. If the error does go away and I have service. I get 4g LTE for about 10 minutes before I lose the ability to make any calls/texts or have any data connectivity. I have tried the scotch tape trick with no success as well as changing my APN. I'm sadly starting to think this may be a hardware issue.
As of yesterday I have found that my phone will now read the sim if it is cooled down. Meaning whenever it is even the slightest bit warm the phone will not read the sim at all but once I cool it down (laying it on top of an AC vent) the phone works as normal.
Any thoughts??

Help with 7Pro connection issues

Hello guys. I'm at my wits end and looking for some help.
I bought a new still sealed in the box Oneplus 7 pro off ebay back in April. Bad idea I know. Everything has been fine up until earlier this month when I started to notice that often times when I looked at my phone it would have no signal. After a few minutes it would reconnect automatically. I thought it was Straight Talk at first but it started to happen more and more frequently, and eventually it no longer would reconnect on its own. Since I was frustrated with the service I was getting with Straight Talk I switched to Verizon and the problem persisted. The phone will work fine for 10min, an hour, or half the day. Suddenly it will completely lose all signal. I've tried turning data on and off in the quick settings, or removing the sim card and reinserting and neither will not work. The only sure way to get the data back on is I either have to restart the phone, or turn the data on and off in the dialer diagnostic menu. Those are the only 2 ways to always get the data back on. After it comes back on it will work for several minutes to half the day before losing connection again.
Im currently running 10.3.3, but before this I was on 10.3.1 and had the same issue. I have reset the phone countless times, reinstalled the OS multiple times, tried different network types in the diagnostic menu and nothing works. I don't believe its a hardware issue because switching the data on and off in the diagnostic menu always works.
Does anyone have any clue whats wrong and what I should do? Thanks in advance.

at this point, you could try the opened beta https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/beta-15-rolling-t4114211. you could also try a different kernel to see if that helps.
I finally got off the stable and updated to the beta and the problem persist. Is there like a baseband firmware that I can flash that will upgrade the radio in the phone? Maybe that would work.

I had that happen to me with an old device when I would select LTE only on my device. Have you tried changing the band from 2/3/4 G to only 2/3 G. This is not a solution to correct your problem, only a test to determine if your signal will remain constant.
Also, since your got the phone BNIB may need to contact 1+ support directly, as I believe you should be within the 1 year manufacturer warranty.
