Hi, help please. I been using these new builds and working very well, but now I just get 'The SIM card is missing', I have tried other SIM cards with the same message!.. please help
thanks
Help Help Help, please any ideas, my phone is still stuck on sim card missing!
have you tryed reflashing it with different rom?
Yes, flashed with 3 ROM's and also flashed with RADIO's ROM's, but still the same.
This phone is getting worse, with no phone working I still use it for TOMTOM, but now no sound or patchie sounds, music or phone sounds, I flash it back to WM5 still same and flash it back to WM6 but still no sound. Is there anyway to completey delete the phone so nothing on it then flash it.
Maybe it's because you've got an hardware problem ... so maybe you should see your "service after sale" !!
I would if it was still in contract, so I am thinking about taking the thing apart, and see if anything come loose?. any info would be nice, tried searching but nothing
This phone is very sick, if i put a SIM card in it I get a blank screen when it reboots, or if I take SIM out I may get the blank screen which I have to reset couple of times, took the back off but cannot see any connector off. So I have to pay alot of money to fix it or buy another PDA.

My only question is: What changed?
Is there something that you can think of that caused this to occur?
Have you dropped or bumped the phone? Liquid got to it? Charging when the power died or there was a lightning strike?
Without knowing this, there is very little that can be done.
As for pulling the device apart - I would recommend against this. Complex electronics like these have no user-serviceable parts, the most you can do is to look for physical damage (such as burnt components or broken legs on chips) or water damage. And then, even if you did find the damage, you would be able to do very little with it as the components can be hard to find (for any of the chips) and the soldering is extremely difficult (my father hand solders surface-mount components using special liquid-solder and a microscope).
If you want to repair it, find your nearest HTC (or I-Mate\Dopod\O2\etc) repair centre and give it to them. Keep in mind that you've already voided the warranty by installing a custom ROM (although you can just install the manufacturer's ROM and pretend you never used WM6...).
Hope this helps!
I use it every day with TOMTOM or I-go (lorry driver),so getting knock's vibration-yes. camera stop working and green went green-but after a couple of weeks it when back normal. never failed on flashing or stuck on bootmode. NO SIM started I just reset it then it was ok until next time. Then it went back normal for a couple of weeks, then NO SIM came on and couple more things happen(above posts). And that how it stands. So 12 months gone a passed (18 month contract). So its sent it to O2( big bill I think) or buy a PDA (cheap I hope). Or wait and see for upgrade brings
Update on my EXEC, It starts as followed, O2 screen comes up with it info at bottom right then the next screen is the windows mobile6 screen and then black screen, tryed mtty, also re flashed it....now its dead R.I.P...
I think I flashed it too many times so be warned!!!!
Been looking at other PDA phones, none of them comes near EXEC will apart from AMEO(thats nice but too much), so looks like another EXEC I think, and yes I will be flashing that one as well if I get O2 to part with one.
Hi, all tryed to get a new EXEC from O2, but sady they say they dont do it no more, so upgraded to the ORBIT( or should I say down graded). SO I like to say bye bye and watch that flashing because it will kill your phone.
last night my g3 fell on the floor and and got into 3 pieces(cover battery and the phone). After putting things back on and booting the phone, a weird problem occurred. My cell shows no network coverage all the time. I tried several other SIMs but no use. I changed rom but still no luck. Then today i put a sim and then I was able to call once or twice and then again nothing. ITS NOT A NETWORK PROBLEM I THINK BECAUSE THE NETWORK SHOWS FULL STRENGTH ON ANOTHER PHONE. When i again put the original sim, it says Emergency Call only and on the sim on which it worked today, it shows signal strength nice but is not able to make or receive calls. So did it happen because my cell fell down or what? more over its in warranty period, so if I take it to the service center with custom rom custom kernel custom bootanimation and custom (CWM) recovery, will it be a problem ???
this happened to me once.. i think 2 months ago.... i just pressed the area where "samsung" logo appears on the pannel and pressed it harder and harder.....
and the i saw that the signal is full
next when i released my fingers the signal went again.. after i sat on it like i was sitting on the chair, everything came back to normal
i didnt mean you to sit on it or brake it by pressing it hard, but i mean that its a problem related to the antenna or something... pressing it softly would do the job..
thumbs up for me cause it really works

i think this isnt a good idea, you better go to the service centre
Network Error
Facing the same error.
Installed a custom rom. Did everything. But no luck.
And actually even I faced this problem when my cell dropped on the floor.
Guess it's the end of it. :crying:
Hello Guys,
Tuesday night i kept my phone on charging, next morning the phone didnt repond on the wake button, tried several times no help, removed the battery and restarted the device but it took it around 30 minutes to boot up, but the touch screen didnt worked at all, i tried to format the phone via bootloader (after pulling the battery)on first try no result same issue..non working touch screen, after formatting again it started workign smoothy, but i am again facing the same issue today, phone wont start up, and same issue with non working touch scrren.... cant even pickup an calls.... Need you help on it.. I m on Stock rom 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0 overlay non rooted.. and help or i need to go to gallery to resolve the issue
Hi Zeus,
Firstly - Never, ever pull the battery!!!
There - over and done with. Pulling the battery runs a high risk of causing permanent damage to the eMMC chip. You should (I have never locked up my phone so badly that this doesn't work) hold down the Power, Vol+ and Vol- buttons until the phone shuts down on its own.
You say your phone is no-rooted? I guess that means that you have not run any kind of mod on it, obtained S-OFF or anything else and the phone is, basically, as you bought it? If so then I would recommend that you simply go via HTC or your service provider to obtain a replacement.
If you have not felt the need before now to unock/root your phone then now is not really the ideal time to start doing so if you have a warranty still.

If you are in Mumbai (as on ur profile) , You can visit the HTC Support Centre @ Borivali (Thakkar Mall, near Borivali Station) - http://www.htc.com/in/help/service-center/
Please Note : They will most probably repair the phone (I don't think they replace the phones here in India after the initial 15 days period in which u can claim the Dead on Arrival policy).
Thanks for all the Suggestions,
Have read all the issues regarding emmc chip being fried on Desire S, but being out of town for some day, didnt had any choice but to try, however i let the battery drain completely yest.. recharged the phone to full and then booted again.. and its working fine as of now (didnt worked earlier).. without any issues from last 5 hrs.. lets see how it holds, havent yet installed any of apps yet.. guess will wait for another day or two to see the software fails again to hold.
went borivali, but its not yet started (confirmed with customer care of HTC) still being completed..
but yes.. will visit the Dadar branch if any issue arrises afterwards
Glad to hear its working fine as of now.
Btw , regarding the Borivali Service Centre . . I have been there last month & it is well up & running !
Been there on Friday evening at around 6 but it was closed....then I inquired on customer care which told me its non functional as of now... Will check tomm....
The phones working f9 now...no issues in past 2 days...hope it holds

Guys, I have seen this kind of problem with one of my colleagues phone (Not Desire S but Wildfire S). The reason was (assumed) pretty weird though, it was because of some electrical problem. Whenever he would charge his phone at home - it would start having this kind of problem, but when he charged it at office or through his PC - the problem would vanish!
Although I am not sure if yours is the same case.... but then could be..
Another thing: I got my phone's mobo replace free of cost from HTC (Salora) when it was under warranty even though it was S-Off, Rooted - so I think HTC is a bit lenient in India
The issue it seems has vanished, no issues as of now..no hangups or freezes and yes....both the time the issue arised when the phone was in charging.

Hi everyone!
First of all I would like to thank everyone who took the time to read this.
So about a year ago, I bought an Asus Fonepad 7 Model:K00E. Of course that decision was heavily regretted due to the uncountable bugs and malfunctions due to low manufacturing cost and non existent support from Asus itself. Anyways, so I lived with it.
A month or so after buying it, it fell screen first on concrete floor. And as you expected, the touch screen broke. ONLY the touch screen though. So then I had it replaced.
From then on the real problems began, touch screen would suddenly freeze when connected to charger, keypad would type on its own occasionally, and SD card reader no longer worked. Basically they screwed it up even more. Oh and when I changed the screen and made a factory reset due to thinking they were software related, it booted and said android is upgrading (like when you wipe dalvik) but if literally upgraded to KitKat.
Anyways, so problems stopped after a while and and came back occasionally. It worked okay for months, then one day when I was restarting it..it didn't boot..literally. Nothing even showed on the screen, it never turned on. It would just vibrate then nothing would happen. When I took it for fix and repair, since there literally no support from Asus themselves, I took it to a third party shop. After a few days I realized that people who worked there didn't know **** and just said it needs a new software.. Then they said the mother board needs to be replaced (which is basically like buying a new one..even the prices are close)
So I want to ask if there is anyway of fixing it or if anyone experienced this and how they solved it.. Sorry for the long post, just wanted to give every detail so you'd see the full picture. Thanks in advance, any and all replies are appreciated!
my device also switched off yesterday and now won't boot up, did you found any solution???
I some problem, this no boot is a only startup on recovery mode

The service centre guys confirmed that the device's motherboard is dead, so I bought a new motherboard and my tab is now working good
Hello there!
Since yesterday I've had this problem with my Z3 D6653. Yesterday unexpectedly it completely lost cellular signal. It was like that like for the whole afternoon, I was expecting it to solve by itself, however I rebooted it ike at 7 o' clock and that was it. Nonetheless, today it happened again, before midday. I tried to do the same thing with no success. I tried to enter settings and search manually for a network operator, but it was searching like forever and no result. I couldn't turn on or off mobile data either, nor change the preferred network type. But there was something else. A band on the screen was completely unresponsive to touch. I'll post pictures too so you can see well.
I just tried a factory reset and it was the same. I was testing the touch entering to the *#*#7378425#*#* and then it became worse. On the middle of the previously unresponsive band, touches began to be triggered out of nowhere, and now it wont stop. It's actually very difficult to use the touchscreen. So, what do you think it might be? I was in a pool on sunday, today it's wednesday. I lasted on the water with my cellphone half an hour, exactly. (I know because I took photos just before entering and exiting the pool).
Hope you can help me out. I'm desperate and I don't want to lose my phone :crying:.
have you tried repairing it with sony pc companion? if not give it ago, most likely software issue if it just happened out of nowhere, not unless you dropped.

Yes, I did a factory reset, I changed it's firmware from Australia to Hong Kong, and the only change was that I lost my info uselessly. In fact, the screenshot of the lockscreen showing no signal is post reset.
I forgot to mention that the touchscreen went berserk when I pushed the area where it didn't detect any touch. After that, all those touches were breaking havoc and it was a real pain in the ass to do anything. To enable the option to show touches, to set the alarm... All these touches happen mostly over a straight line, which can be seen on the screenshots. The outer lines are the borders of the unsensitive region, and the line inside is where randomly the touches happen.

Okay, so you used flashtool, flash another regions ftf and see how that goes. If that doesn't show the issue then it is most likely a hardware issue. Either when you dropped the phone it broke it or when you took it under water and it has been exposed to water. Not blaming you or anything but phones these days are extremely fragile.
And FYI, factory reset and sony pc companion are two separate things.
Maybe there is a fine crack somewhere in the screen?

I just checked and the glass is literally pristine, in the wholse sense of the word, as it was covered by a tempered glass since the very fist day I took the phone out of the box. It became a disaster and I took it off a couple of days ago, on Monday I think, or tuesday.
Anyway, I'm giving up hope. I think it's water damage. It's a pity that there's no kind of Sony centre in my city, and if I can get any assistance directly from Sony it would be by sending my cellphone to the capital. I'll call tomorrow and make all the arrangements. Hope it doesn't stab deeply my wallet.
My friend's Z3 had the same problem. The screen was registering touches out of nowhere. Then the upper side of the screen stopped working. He asked Sony for repair but since he was out of warranty, they said it would cost around $377 including parts and services as they would be replacing the screen. He opted for a third party technician, he paid $88 but the phone now has light escaping the side of the panel and is not waterproof anymore.

Water damage. If it didn't get in through the sim or USB ports, Sony should replace it for you. One or two vertical strips appear when it gets in through the speakers. I hope you closed the flaps properly.
I called to assistance on friday, but the person in charge wasn't there, so I'll have to call on tuesday as monday is a holiday. However, today I noticed that the unensitive band was narrower, maybe the humidity is leaving, so I put it out on the sun for it to dry, or so I hope. The antenna isn't working anyway.
