I have a problem with my phone. It keeps turning iteslf of all the time. I cant even start it now without turning off. It is working when I have my charger in the phone. But without it it last no more then seconds.
I took the SIM-card out this morning and now the phone is normal, no shutting down? Whats wrong with it? I have tryed installning new ROMS, from endymon to cynagoen 9. But the problem is still there.
The SIM-card is working fine in another old SE-Xperia-phone, so it seems to be working fine there. Please help!
reformat your sdcard and see if it helps...

have tryed without SD-card but still the same problem, but you think a reformat can do it? Just copy all files to computer and back again on the card?
no, you said before that without the sdcard your phone was ok, but now you're saying contrary. if the problem persist even without sdcard in your phone, than reformating your card won't help.

Sorry, I have tryed both without the SD-card and the SIM-card. When the SIM-card is not connected to the phone its way more stabile. It has turned off 1 time during this whole day, and with the SIM-card inside, its turning off all the time.
When I had the SIM-card inside and took the SD-card out, the phone turned off as fast as with the SD-card connected.
Is it clearer now? =)
sorry, i mixed sim & sdcard...
NP...hope someone else may have a solution, clearly the phone seems to be working, but shuts itself off because of the SIM-card, that is working fine in another phone...

say that your sim has broken down and ask from your provider a new sim. Iphones also have this kind of problem....let me quess,it works like a charm with others sim cards?
edit: and of course with transferring your number so you don't have to change
Try to get a new sim card from ur provider, sounds like the sim card could be faulty, every sim card may look the same and work, but like my situation with my phone. I had to replace my sim card so i got it replaced and now it works.

Have tryed a new SIM-card and same problem! Without SIM-card it never dies and with SIM-card it dies directly!
Some other options? Have tryed to change ROM again, no luck with that either! :/
Battery contact problem and it is around sim card area.

Try to provide logcat!
Maybe that could be helpful?!
adb logcat >logcat.txd
While the phone booting!
A lot of helpful information could be found!
I have the same error! It happened after I opened it and replaced the Display. I thought that I damaged it somehow and I bought a Desire S on eBay with a broken Display. At first I changed the SIM/SD-Card reader, to see if it was damaged, but it had no effect, it still shut down. So I replaced the whole Mainboard, and it worked! But I had to reopen it several times, because I forget the speaker, the cameras (front and back) seamed to be broken, the vibration unit didn't work properly.... it was awful! This mobile was a pain in the ass!
Finally, when I thought everything should worke, I started it and it had the same problem again!! With the new Mainboard! I almost exploded :silly:
I can't imagine, that I somehow damaged it twice the same way. Maybe the camera is damaged, but how could that effect the SIM Card....
Has anyone an idea? I can't be the only one with that error...
Best,
therox

AHH! ****, you were right! It seems like ist really was just the battery! After I replaced everything I must have switched the batterys, and the phone keeped rebooting. Now it workes... oh dear...
Thanks you guys!
Mine also has problem with this; Previously Airtel, Aircel Sim card are working fine but now it suddenly shutdown as soon as it is in the desktop. Only vodafone SIM card is working flawlessly. I also suspect it could be the Radio Version.

This is my serious problem.
At the risk of sounding insulting, I think we might need some more information.
What changed on your phone so that it stopped working?
Have you tried your sim card in another phone to see if it works there and isn't actually damaged?

How does that sort a potentially duff sim?
I've tried many kind of simcards and uped so many roms, but nothing gona change
it's also happened to me once, i did hard reset and installed a new rom
I also had same problem once and I had to take it into the service centre who changed the complete board due to faulty SIM card reader pins. The phone was still under warranty and got this replaced for free.

Hello everyone,
im new here,
I just bought Nexus S from some1,
it had a problem which later showed up.
The touchscreen works all by itself suddenly,
the left part of the screen is misbehaving, it starts touching on screen when its not.
it was on GB when i bought, then i updated it to ICS to see if the problem gets fixed but it gets more crazy, now updated to Jelly Bean, worked fine for a while, but now again its starting.
Any help will be appreciated
I think it is a problem with your touch screen hardware and not the android software. That being said, unless someone else has had the problem, no one can really help you.. Personally, since I've never heard of this problem, I'd recommend you get it repaired, even if it costs some $$. Hopefully someone else who has had the problem can help you out, but until then, best of luck!

Already tried all flashing. nothing helped.
but recently i did some wierd things with phone,
i burned my nexus s screen side, not actually burned it, but kept it to a distance from fire, just to heat it up,
i thought if there was any moisture that was causing the trouble might end up from burning,
after the phone cooled down, i placed battery and started phone..
wow amazing... it worked fine!!
but in the next step i inserted SIM card, i was going happy and was thinking "oh yes... saved the day!!!"
but boom, touchscreen started misbehaving again!!!!
i removed SIM card, but problem persists!!!
sad...
but i tried again,
removed battery and sim card,
burned phone again with more temperature as i was angry, wanted it to burn completely, but i guess i saved it.
now currently, without the SIM card, phone is working perfect as it was.
I dont know wat it has to do with the SIM card or burning
any1 knows wats its problem?? how can i use my SIM card with phone now???

now i don know which kernel was it, lost it,
can any body help me on this issue?
miracle happened
yo guyz i cant believe it... everything is fine now.. phone works with sim too... i guess burning did help... and gues wat.. that left part of screen which was not responding.. its fixed by netarchy kernel.. i m currently using GB 2.3.6 with netarchy kernel.. can any1 give me Jelly Bean ROm? i tried some JB ROM but status 7 error occurs.. need help

Problem is back... and i think i found wat is troubling, its the SIM card, when i insert SIM card it does troubles, but when i use airplane mode, everything gets better.
tried different SIM cards, but no change.
so guyz tell me possible fix of the SIM card?
noticed another problem,
phone takes a very long time to recharge
and when i plug the recharger, sometimes battery indicates 10% or more Additional battery suddenly
i don understand wat is the problem?
Battery? Recharger? or SIM Slot??
im getting crazy now!!
Finally Its Fixed without spending any money
it seems baseband was troubling... as it was something like this i9020A this A is meant for AT&T thus its preferred network was WCDMA (my network is only on GSM).. i saw a code to see my phone info.. *#*#4636#*#*
This code showed up a window where i saw a button called radio... i switched it off.. i thought it was meant for FM Radio lol.. but it actually turned off my Cellular network.. i turned it back on and then i saw that the problem was gone... i went to see baseband and now its I9020XXX .. that A is gone..
Issue is fixed but there is one thing i don't understand at all.. how did fixing radio band fixed the touch issue? I think this conflict was causing Operating System to go crazy, hardware was never at fault..it was all software confliction.. I'm very happy its fixed..
If some1 have the same issue go here
*#*#4636#*#* turn radio off then turn on again.. hope it helps..and if it doesn't then at least it helped me

I have a Nexus S and I have the exact same problem since last few days. I enabled "show touche" from the developer options to track the screen touch. Now I can clearly see that one column on the left side of the phone gets a random series of touches (in that one column only) from top to bottom. The issue I think is a HW issue, nothing to do with sim card, or ROM or anything related to SW. I have tried GB, ICS, JB and even "touch" version of the clockwork. It happens even in clockwork. It seems to me that I need to buy a Galaxy nexus unless someone knows of an easy way to fix this.
Same Problem
Hey man,
I got the same problem.
I tried so much things but it's absolutely a hardware problem, I found on the internet that there is some netarchy kernel modified by someone, but that's not up to date anymore. The kernel only works with a old version of android.
I update my android almost every month, it helps a bit but not much.
I am trying to learn all about building and modifying roms and kernels, but that is not that easy as I thought so that will take some time before I can publish a kernel for you.
Maybe if you can building kernels, try it by yourself?
Or google Nexus s unresponsive touchscreen, i found there some helpful answers. But they all not really up to date.):
I hope you'll find a way!
Sorry for my bad English
Hi everyone,
my HTC was working just fine until one day I've lost reception and no matter what I did I can't get calls back. Phone can't be barred cos mobile data is working, I can download and browse mobile internet just calls and text don't work. Phone originally was on tmobile uk I've tried to put original RUU but sadly I couldn't find it and attempt to put Euro RUU failed cos of cid. I've tried different kernels/roms and nothing. I've called tmobile and they said that phone isn't barred so... I'm looking for help...
anyone...
cheers
If it just suddenly stopped working, not after changing rom or radio, then there is little point in trying different roms or radios. Might be a problem with your sim card. Try reseating it. If that doesn't help I'd go to a tmo shop and have them check it or try a different sim.

it could also be a problem with the sim reader itself. try cleaning the connections if you can't fix the problem via software

I'll try it later on, how to get there though. It will be difficult without removing screws, I'll try and let you know.

electronics cleaner and a toothbrush should work fine, even without removing any screws. just don't spray the cleaner on the phone itself, just the brush

Hey guys
My screen is uncontrollably on/off flickering when the sim card is in. As soon as I push the sim card out, phone is usable as usually. Has anyone ever heard of that? Cant find anything in Google.
Thanks :good:
Edit: Factory reset fixed it - no idea how that happened. Phone was stock, not rooted, nothing special been done yet. Weird.

Hey,
In this case I would try to flash the stock rom again.
with this tool http://api.en.miui.com/url/MiFlashTool
here is an instruction https://www.technobuzz.net/flash-miui-fastboot-rom/
I had to do it for another issue afterwards. I chose the fastboot ROM, worked fine
Hi, for some reason my wife's U11 just decided to stop working - but only the sim and wifi. The no sim message shows and wifi won't turn on. I've reset network settings and have gone as far as a complete factory reset to no avail. It seems to me to be a hardware issue, so I'd like to know if there is anything else I might be able to try? I'm out of ideas, and if it truly is a hardware fault, then that kinda sucks, but oh well. It was a nice phone while it lasted...
I should add that bluetooth still works.

I've managed to downgrade it now to Android 8.0. Same issue.
I don't want to believe that this is a hardware fault. But it really seems to be...
Maybe its the antenna? I don't know. MAybe I'm going to root it and flash a custom rom and Wifi repair app.
But It really think there's an hardware defect for now..

That's super interesting to me. Do you know when it happened to you? It really feels quite coincidental to have this happen to a few people.
It happened just 2-3 month ago. First I wasn't able to turn the phone on cause of the WLAN issue. Cause my phone space was locked I wasn't able to authorize myself cause of the disabled connection. After a few tries I put my Sim card inside the phone, and it connected and I could authorize and disable this memory lock. But afterwards it never worked again with my sim card. It seems like it wouldn't even recognize my Sim Card. No Pin question or symbol at the upper front of the display. Nothing. It's really werid and annoying, that something like this happens. I can't believe that it's hardware related.. How would it be possilbe that it's hardawrare related and whe have suddenly the same problems nearly the same time...
I should note that my wife has had her screen replaced before (she dropped the phone and it basically cracked all over). Have you replaced yours?
Yes I replaced mine too. But nevermind I had that issues before. My phone ran all well with cracked screen and one day I had that issues... So I changed my screen in the hope it would fix it.

I'm wondering if it will be a more widespread problem. I'm going to try and get in touch with HTC and see what they have to say. Will update if I hear back from them.
Okay, that would be great. But I don't have high expectations that they'll answer. Due to the fact that they have stopped there smartphone section for now and no more official updates and stuff like that.
But let's hope die at least...
I have exactly the same issue. It happened yesterday. It was just there, sitting on my desk, one minute it was working and I was checking my e-mail, the next one it was not. The phone now detects no SIM card and if I try to enable wi-fi it just hangs in "enabling" status for some time until it gives up and disables it again. I am not 100% sure, but I think I also had a short time in which wifi was no longer working and the SIM connection still was, I remember seeing the 4G logo and maybe I even browsed the internet for a short while. By the way, I have not replaced my screen. Now I know that I can probably spare myself the hassle of doing a hard reset.
It is really suspicious that this weird problem is happening to several people within a short time frame. It would be cool to hear if HTC has anything to say, but I am also not expecting anything from them now, especially for a phone which is out of warranty.
In case it can help, as the author reported, bluetooth still works and it is possible to connect the phone to the internet using bluetooth tethering on another phone (the good old M8 helped here ). This doesn't solve the issue, but is much better than nothing, most apps will work and it is easier to make a controlled migration to another phone.
Any news here?

I have the same issue with a U11+ bought in Germany (I know, other model but hey). I have tried using the other sim slot and using another (definitely working) sim. WiFi doesn't work either. My phone has no visible damage (not even scratches) and no parts were replaced. I can't remember it ever getting wet either. For me it stopped working on 2. of September.
Sorry guys. HTC were really slack at getting back to me, and unfortunately they want me to send the phone in to get it inspected. I know it's out of warranty and since my wife is well and truly into her Huawei P30, this phone is unfortunately going to just have to remain this way. Sorry for not having any better info.
The same issue I am facing now. No SIM CARD Detected and WiFi isn't connecting.
What things I have tried doing so far?
1.) Factory Reset - 3 times.
2.) TWRP Based RUU Restores ( 2 possible versions tried )
3.) Tried Restoring zip based restore
4.) Did a Full Internal + External SD Card Wipe and then flashed RUU.
5.) Restored stock ROM.
Nothing is working at all.
Now, Trying to do S-OFF but as the phone itself is not booting into a normal OS, I cannot install Sunshine app and proceed. Help needed, at least in getting the OS to work.
Thank You.

It seems there's no way without replacing hardware to fix it. But if we don't know what causes this error we cannot proceed.
I tried the same things as you did. Also unlocked bootloader. My device is starting but I cannot proceed to the main menue cause of no internet connection. I'd love to try a custom rom. That's the only thing missing.
Also if the phone is rooted there are WIFI Error fixing apps and check.
I have bought myself a OnePlus 7T pro MClaren edition and I'm really happy with it. But also I don't want to accept that the htc just died from nothing.
Same issue here, happend a few months ago and after a week the phone started working. Now again no SIM detected and wifi won't connect.
