Hi to all, I'm writing here because I had my first problems with my v970 (with etotalk rom). This evening I checked my mobile and I found that none of the sim was active (I was not in airplane mode) and I could not activate them, as if they were not in their slots. Meanwhile the upper part of the device began to heat up, so I tought it could be an antenna/receiver problem. I almost forgot to say that I installed Truecaller (deleting Contapps) and updated facebook and few others apps less than one hour before the event, but I already uninstalled them to exclude some of the possible causes. I'll gladly listen to any advice. Thank's in advance. GL
Restart, and see if it continues.
Already tried a lot of times, with or without sim cards. I also noticed an abnormal use of battery.
When did the problem start? What did you do before it started? Does your cellphone always have no signal, or does it come & go (sometimes SIM works, sometimes it doesn't)? Have you checked your APN settings?

The problem started yesterday and I never experimented It till now. As I Said, before I encountered It, I updated some apps from the market and I changed the default caller manager (should I call It in this way?) with Truecaller. I also deleted my sim contacts
. I can't check apn because there are no apns to check (Android shows me the voice "mobile networks" but I can't select it
Update: I tried to restore the original rom, but the problem persists. I also made a check with the recovery, and it shows me that the device cannot detect sim cards. I begin to think that it's an hardware problem (ouch). Am I right?
What did you do in recovery that checks SIM cards? Are you talking about CWM recovery?

Nope, it's the faulty recovery that etotalk sent me with the phone. I would like to install the cwm and flash another rom, but I'll leave that as the last option
If the recovery they sent you is faulty, then what good is it? If there's a custom recovery available for your phone, you might as well go with it, not that it'll solve anything by itself.
You might try inserting some kind of shim along with the SIM card to see if the extra pressure help make contact with the leads. Careful, of course, that whatever you stick in there doesn't stay behind.

I know about the recovery, but I was trying to don't invalidate the warranty (as if I'll ever use it...). Now I'm charging the phone, it's already the third time today...
Aw, heck. If you've got warranty, just send it in.

Yep, I've got warranty, but sending it in China will cost me almost as much as buying a new one
Ok, I flashed a recovery and a custom rom, but nothing happened.The signal is still absent and the antenna heats up the same way as before. I tried to enter engineer mode and it shows me messages as "com.android.internal.telephony.CommandExcepti on: RADIO_NOT_AVAILABLE", "3G off. Cannot set", ecc... It also shows me "invalid IMEI" if I try to look at it and I cannot change it back with the AT +EGMR command (it says "Radio on" and "SIM State: ABSENT", altough the SIM card is in its slot).
I think you have to crack the case.

Hmmm... if your phone is reporting invalid IMEI numbers then I would try first to get that working as it should. Read this tutorial and re-write your IMEI numbers.
Then I would try the latest stock ROM, which is available on ZTE support website. Here is the direct link to the ROM.
If your phone still doesn't work after that, then I'm afraid you have a hardware problem.
I have had the telephone for more than one month with no problem. Trying every ROM made by Bruno with no problem at all with signal, but...
About 4 days ago, I started suffering exactly the same problems stated by ArcheoGian. I have tried everything (installing older Roms, rebooting, changing SIMs from 1 to 2, etc.) but unfortunately with no success. I just have to try to install the original ROM, but I supose it will be the same.
Afer a few reboots, I can make the telephone to search for a network, it founds it, it connects, it transfers data, I can make calls, but ramdomly (can be after 30 seconds, 30 minutes or maximum one hour) it disconnects and the red X of death (Xbox 360 times ) appears on top of the screen.
I can try to go and return from airplane mode, or search for networks that it won't re-connect.
I fear it can become a typical problem for this phone.
I am "delighted" to send it back to China and wait for two months to get it back (after explaining it to the seller and so on). Fingers crossed
@prinxo: did you buy it from eto...k? (I don't know if I can write the entire name of the seller)
Update: I tried everything it was told me (except to crack the case, at least not yet...), my last hope is to manually insert the IMEIs inside the data folder. There's just one problem: none of the methods suggested in the link posted by bcgngm works on my phone, so I need to generate the IMEIs whit my pc (I couldn't open the exe with windows 7, I'll try with win xp in a while, otherwise I have to ask someone to create it for me).

No, I bought it from another seller at Aliexpress.
As I thought: I tried to re-install an original ROM, and everything remains the same. I thought I was successfull but after one hour the phone disconnected itself from the network. After that moment, I need about 3 re-boots to get signal again and it lasts for just a few minutes.
At this point, I would disregard a software problem.
Happy happy to have to send it back to China.

Why do you say it is not working? My preferred method is to use the adb commands (and for that you have to install Android SDK). Don't forget that when you type the commands there is no output message on the screen. The phone has to be restarted so that changes take effect.

The third and the fourth ones are the only methods to restore IMEI I didn't try, just because I never used sdk and adb (and I'm not sure to be able to use them). I followed the others options (I also created the IMEI file with the russian program), but it continues to show me the "invalid IMEI" message. Can you help me, maybe showing me a good walkthrough?
This ADB Tutorial looks easy to follow. Check it out!
I received an OTA Update in early to mid May. I am now forgetting which version I received at that time. ( I forget as I have done so many downgrades/upgrades/factory resets in my troubleshooting the last month!) Up until these issues, I've never rooted or flashed a ROM, or unlocked boot loader or anything. My N5 had always been completely stock.
First Issue
It all started with just the sim card. I get "no sim card" message, even though it was in there. This was my original SIM card and I had never ejected it since I bought it new. I found I could turn it off, pop it out and back in, and boot it again. Sometimes it will see the sim card again. It may take 20 times, but finally work.
I naturally got a new sim card, as well as confirmed said sim cards worked in other phones. My wifi and bluetooth were working fine at first. Working with google support, they recommended a factory reset to fix the sim card issue. Immediately after the factory reset, my bluetooth would no longer turn on nor show a MAC address. At this point, my wifi was fine.
Second Issue
In addition to the sim card slot issue, now my Bluetooth no longer works! Around this time, I received another OTA update, this time it was 5.1.1 LMY48B. I had hoped it would fix the issues, but no dice! I start reading up on the XDA forums as I am determined to start rolling back to see if this will fix anything. I unlocked the boot loaded, rooted, etc following the threads on XDA
Third Issue
I do all sorts of flashing to hammerhead-krt16m_4.4 to hammerhead-ktu84p_4.4.4 to hammerhead-lrx21o_5.0 to hammerhead-lmy48b_5.1.1 . On the final flash back to 5.1.1 my wifi now no longer works!!!!!!!!!!! It is stuck at wifi turning on and no MAC address shows. It also seems my cell data is very very slow now!
After many calls to google, I think I finally succeeded in getting a “ticket routed up”. My phone is from the play store around 10/31/2013. They keep pushing I am out of warranty. I attempt to ask for a refurb N5 without luck so far. I am not very confident anything will come from google. This being my only handset now, it is just not an option to send this to LG. My current state is my voice/txt and cell data are working. Data seems a little slow but usable. Wifi and bluetooth won't turn on. I also still have the sim car slot issue upon rebooting. After a bunch of reboots it will eventually see sim card.
What else can I try? Is there a better way to attempt to repair/reload my radio drivers? Perhaps there is corruption of sorts? I have not tried a custom ROM or radio or kernel…… I did take to a local tech. They looked at everything literally under a microscope and did not see any issues that way. I am in the USA and have a lgd820. Although we are quick to assume a hardware issue, I am wondering if there is some sort of incompatibility with the first run of N5 and lollipop….. who knows!
I’ve read all sorts of threads on the internet. It seems I am not the only one. We are very quick to assume it must be a bad motherboard, it just seems too coincidental to me!

Hi,
This link was actually what i was going to suggest. It seems you've tried pretty much everything in the book except that.
I think its worth a try. Same as any other learning process, take your time and read the whole thing once or twice until you feel comfortable with the process. Then go for it.
Darn it, I should have downloaded those programs BEFORE rooting my phone again. Now I a struggloing to get my SIM card detected again to get data to DL them! whooops!
How would I go about attempting to read my files first to see if they are accessible and potentially write down my old MACs first?
EDIT: I found this but not sure how to get that working? I have Windows 7 and CMD prompt at this point. what program is that using?

OK, I went through those steps. everything appeared to go through correctly. Still no wifi nor bluetooth
EDIT: I rebooted a second time. WHen it first boot up, wifi was on and connected to my works AP. I quickly went in and snagged a screen shot of MAC address. Oddly enough, it did not match what I had input via hex editor. Within a few moments the wifi stopped working. It is back to the turning wifi on issue..... bluetooth still not working as well.
Very interesting.....
EDIT2: I get access denied when attempting to read either files within their corresponding folders under persist.
I was able to copy my stock files into my sdcard download folder and read them there without issue. Thus seeing my default addresses for both!
Perhaps it is normal, but I am never able to edit the old or new files under persist. I basically renamed original folders to bluetoothold and wifiold. I could delete them perhaps.
Note that I put my phone into airplane mode before doing anything noted in the steps.
Any other ideas? Given that it is showing my original MAC address the one time it worked, this makes me think that it is not reading the files .macaddr at all
I have the same problem. Funny thing is, the phone is just over 2 years old and the motherboard was replaced just 9 months ago (so, brand new one).
In my case, I received and Android update 2 days before I found the phone burning hot and restarting on it's own. Then the same chain of events you describe started to unleash. Now I can't be sure if this is software related, hardware related or both.
Can't seem to find a solution to the issue either.

I'm facing the same issues and I tried all the possible steps I could find on internet trying to repair the problem.
Actually, since the latest updates I was encountering some issues with the WiFi only: not turning on either off and not showing properly the MAC addres. So I decided to factory reset, even SDcard and since yesterday I have tried all the possibile guide I found to internet to fix the MAC address not showing and the WiFi not turning on/off but nothing worked. I tried even to flash again the old factory images, such as KitKat, Lollipop, etc., to lock the bootloader again and to dismantle the phone in order to clean the motherboard, but nothing worked. Phone still gives me MAC address 02:00:00:00:00:00 alternatively with the correct one, I can't figure out on what it depends because sometime it seems to work: it shows the correct MAC, it connects to wifi network; suddenly it doesn't!
I'm really going crazy to understand what's wrong.
You'll have to dig up my final posts on this , but in a nutshell, send into LG for repair, select cheapest option they offer. Receive mint phone. My cost was $45 and about one month... I picked up a cheap $20 phone to get me by.
In other news.... I now have a 6p!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've got some very strange issues happening since the latest T-Mobile update to baseband G930TUVU2APC8.
The phone is a T-Mobile Galaxy S7 with a Sandisk 200GB micro SD card installed
Whenever I'm on a phone call through a my Jawbone Era (and charging; I haven't tried it unplugged) the phone will behave as if it did a reboot, without actually rebooting, every few minutes. The phone will stop responding for about 20 seconds, then show just the wallpaper for about 5 seconds, then go back to the lock screen. At this lock screen it requires me to enter my password instead of using fingerprint as if it had just powered up. The phone call does not drop through all of this.
The next issue is that some pictures taken from the quick launch are sometimes not saved. I'm not 100% sure that this only happens after the reboot issue above, but I think it does. I have secure startup disabled .
I tried a factory reset which did not fix the issue, contacted t-mobile and was sent a replacement device that still has the problem. None of this was happening prior to the latest update.
Has anyone else experienced these issues? Also, is it possible to downgrade the firmware version?
Thank you,
Matthew

The problem started in PB8 firmware, PC8 firmware has constant wifi dropout issues, you might find even that at 3G connection performing better than fiber optic wifi internet.
Easiest is to update facebook to latest version and see how many "can not connect right now" errors.
Random reboots is normal never mind how many times your factory reset or do a full firmware PB8 flash.
T Mo is not the brightest tools in the shed, it takes 5 visits to their T Mo offices to get the accounts and products purchased + refunds for items payed in cash or freebies refunded etc etc etc.....
Hi, since 2 months i have been experiencing random crash on my U11+ i tried to reset my phone today and by completing my phone setup i added the option to restore some of my apps, everything was working perfectly until the phone got to homescreen and the app start to downloads, it crashed 3 times in 10 minutes.
Anyone experiencing the same problem?

It started happening to me as well.
However in my case I've managed to (partially/temporary) solve it by going to Boost+ and change from "Optimize" to "Don't optimize" for following apps: Google Play Store, Google Services Framework, Phone, People.
That did it for me for most crashes but Play Store still behaves weird and the only way to prevent Play Store and it's ridiculous crashes is to do in these steps exactly: as soon as you open Play Store > swipe from left > click on Play Protect > and just go back > Play Store won't crash at all.
I haven't tried resetting so I can't tell if that would solve but there are few posts regarding insane crashes related to Play Store and Boost+.
Might be different for you but you might give it a try

No worries mate
Sorry to hear that it gotten worse
Most of my issues were caused by Boost+'s aggressive power saving option(optimization?) and going though every app that I think does not need any power saving options I just set it to "Don't optimize". Strangely enough - this did help but it is far from solution.
Yeah, phone does have some serious issues such as what I've recently discovered on my unit is if you have 2 SIM cards inserted* and someone calls you or you call** someone sometimes(very often) it freezes right away. By that I mean screen stops responding completely, ignoring any touch input or vol up/dn, power button or anything at all you just have to wait until it crashes on it's own and pulls it self back together.
On first try or after 2nd or 3rd call, it doesn't even have to be answered it will freeze and will 100% soft-reboot. Before it crashes during the call you can perfectly communicate with person on the other end without any problem but sadly it is timed as it is going to soft-reboot.
(dual sim phone and has issues with it's very own purpose of having 2 SIM cards)
*Inserted and active: it doesn't matter if you switched one SIM card off or another one it still happens (Dual SIM manager settings) Maybe my phone doesn't like that there is 1 UK and 1 HR (Croatian) sim cards together? Maybe has to be both UK or both HR? Can't verify that, sorry. Never had dual sim phone before.
**It does not matter is it SIM1 or SIM2 as it happens on both.
Not sure if it's just my unit or I am doing something wrong that is causing this, couldn't find anything online with this problem.
I can reproduce that issue at any given time but have no idea how to debug this problem sadly.
However in my case I no longer need the 2nd SIM card (HR) and now have microSD card inserted.
To summarize
Phone itself is great, I really love the camera (and DNG pictures) and video recording (60 fps all the time), battery lasts incredibly long way better than anything I had before!
I've completely purged play store as it has no purpose to me and I can live without that, coming from previous incredibly bad phones I am not worried about that.
But because of this serious Dual SIM problem, sadly, I can not and will not recommend this phone to anyone.
Only way is to have patience if HTC is going to release patch for this, but looking though U11+ posts, this might take a while.
Personally I'm not worried, I've rooted and flashed TWRP/CWM on all previous devices I had and in any time I'll just reflash original boot.img and restore stock recovery.img (which took a lot of time to find online) so OTA can work and update when it arrives.
Hey! you could bring it to warranty, and maybe they will replace your unit with a new one, yes i did say that the software on the u11+ is not perfect :/, its been a long long time since the european u11+ got any update the .401 version im still on december 1 security patch thats way too slow for a high end phone, i just read that the u11 life is getting android 9.0 pie in certain part of europe :'( thats not fair.
Well as for my problem i got it solved by bringing my device to an htc shop they took 3 days to analyse and all, at the end they just gave me a new unit. well not as if the old one could be repared.
I did say that the U11+ is an awesome device, excepts for sme little flaws in the system everything is just perfect. i choose this one because the the bigger battery i less powerful cpu compared to the U12+. well i can't wait to have my hands on Htc's new flagship next year
So, every since I have updated my pixel 4a to the August security patch, it starts giving me an issue with my SIM, it seems to not detect my SIM at random points of the day and I sometimes have to restart it multiple times to get it to detect again. After it gets detected, it will work fine for about 12 - 15 hours before the issue comes back again. When the issue occurs, my mobile network option in the settings will get greyed out. (see attachment below)
Went to my carrier and get a new SIM. Still, the issue persists. Even tried an E-SIM and it still doesn't work
I have contacted Google support and they told me to send my device down for repair and inspection however, even after repairing my device, the issue still persists. Factory reset does not fix it as well. Dig thru Reddit and Google forum as well, tons of others are facing the same exact issue after the August update leading me to deduce that this is not a hardware but a software issue with the update.
I saw that there was the September security update patch yesterday and I went to update it, however, the issue is still there
I then proceeded to contact Google support again and they kept telling me to send it for repair even though I already have?
Does anyone have a clue what to do?

If others are experiencing the same issue after the update, then that highly suggests the problem was caused by the update.
So, unfortunately, ONLY google can fix it with another patch and you will have to wait until google gets around to fixing it.
I have similar problem though I thought it's caused by android 12 beta so I outped out it and everything was fine for few days. I restated my phone after day or two and the problem of no serivce came back. This time even factory reset didn't help.
I can't manually change preffered network type to 2g/3g and everytime I try to make a phonecall it says i need to turn off aeroplane mode off.

Wow, unfortunate for sure. Isn't it possible to roll back to just before the update? Of course google makes the entire firmware available and I believe I've read if you remove the '-w' at the end of the script it doesn't wipe data?
At least if this was possible it would certainly indicate if it was the update or not?
cheers
So my Pixel 4a updated to the October Security Patch this night, and from there on it says "SIM not detected".
But when I go in settings it shows the network name.
I tried switching the SIMs with my Pixel 2 and everything works there, but any SIM I put in my 4a shows "SIM not detected" even though it can detect the network.
Which it probably wouldn't do if the SIM slot were defective, right?
And the timing with the update is too much of a coincidence...
I have similar issue - Pixel 3A, after update with November Security Patch, "No simcard" error appears with mandatory reboot. Tried with different SIM, there was prompt for PIN, verified and then it seems no access to simcard data. Even "emergency call" is no allowed from now. Looks like additional privilidges needed for access SIM card. No clue, how to proceed...
