I will as soon as I can
15145. Though I believe doing the *228 can botch your SIM card. Your SIM should update by itself randomly.
15130

Do not *228. The SIM card does not like that. It will auto update the PRL as iit needs. I hear you can force it by powering off. Removing SIM. Then powering back on. Phone will request a SIM card. Power off, insert SIM, power on and supposedly it updates PRL. I know people were doing that on the Bionic. Many claimed it worked. But i never tried.

I reset. I go 4g only. 2g only. It will work for a while and then just nothing.
Turning on wifi even when there is no wifi seems to help.
Anyone know a better method?

I have this problem too, I read yesterday about the newer UICC sim cards will help with this problem.
I have one coming, we will see what happens when it gets here.

Your really gonna hate this. My simcard was sent to me may 7th .
It is suppose to be the newest type.
Yes when I do get signal the speed increase is noticeable.
But it did not help the drops. Even when it shows a signal. It won't keep it.
I hate having to go in and do airplane mode all the time so I can get a signal and post to xda.

Use Set DNS from the market and wait for the official fix from LG/TMO.
Omg. I have this problem too. I told tmobile and they're replacing the phone. Does replacing the aim work though? Because i've tried that and I still can't get a steady signal.

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.

same happened to me with a faulty sim but went into the shop and replaced the sim straightaway problem solved
Ok so I got the Infuse today. Go ME! The screen is sooo much better than my captivate's, if that's possible.
So I take the SIM card out of my old Captivate that I got this time last year. I have the 2GB plan for it. But only now, my Infuse 4g has no data connection even after letting sit for a few minutes.
I did some looking around here at different APN settings and they didn't seem to do anything except cut off my Phone service. Some other people suggested my data plan might not be up to par. But I have a data plan for the Captivate that I activated when I got that phone. Are the phone's data plans really that different that I have to call AT&T to resolve it?
The phone is totally stock, no flashes done to it, hasn't had root attempted on it yet. Brand New out of the box.
You have to call att to have it switched from 3g to 4g I had the same problem they had me give them some numbers and put some numbers in my phone then everything worked.

Ah. Thanks then, that should be easy enough then. Too bad its today though, even the non US tech support is closed till tomorrow.
If u used the sim out of ur captivate u need a new sim because infuse is 4g and captivate is 3g(it makes a difference some over the phone tech doesn't know better). I had this problem

Im pretty sure that dont make a difference. I still use my sim from when the razr was still in att. But anything is possible
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
Call them and have them switch the data plan. I had the same issue. You don't need a new sim or even add anything to the settings. Its also no price change.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App
Yup, happened to me. Switched from a BB Bold, att had to switch my plan at no charge.
You don't have to call and switch...I came from a 3g phone to this one with no issues...you have to put your sim card in you may have to reboot a couple times for it to recognize it....it worked for me
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
press and hold power button ..make sure data mode is on ..(or is this only if youre rooted)?
did you get it through att with a new contract.. they would have sent you a new sim??
i used my new sim when i first got mine when upgrading from captivate.. dont know if old sim worked or not i just switched it when i got the phone.
what firmware came on your phone?? must know!!
Go to settings>mobile networks >apn settings and see if you have an apn ....it may have been deleted by accident...happened on my daughters captivate....easy fix...just add the apn ....

So my Inspire only recognizes one sim card. I tried giving this phone to my wife, but her sim card wouldn't work on the phone. Says no sim. Went to ATT and tried 3 different sims and still only mine works in the phone. I restored the phone to out of the box condition, and still, her sim doesnt work in it, only mine. Any suggestions?

Umm...check that u are Sim unlock with this: (Point 5) http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
If you are then, is known that not all sim cards are to be used in sim unlocked devices, so if you have the chance try using other than your wife´s to see if it works.
If you are not Sim unlock, you can revert to S-ON and then re run the Hack Kit if you didn´t use it to root yours....:good:
Yeah the Inspire was s off and all that jazz. Running ARHD and tried MIUI and still only accepts my sim card. That's why I returned it to stock to start over. Still only accepts my sim. Wifes ATT sim card doesn't work in it. Super annoying.

Brand new sims.
I tried remembering if I hit Sim Lock while in Hboot by accident before, but not even sure what that does either.

Try a different SIM and see if it works. If it does, then it might an issue with the SIM.

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
