View Full Version : "No GSM" on boot screen?

How about this weird phenomenon on my Qtek 9000...

Sometimes when I have absolutely no radio signal (i.e. in an elevator, basement, etc.) and I perform a soft-reset, my Qtek 9000's splash screen and diagnostics say "No GSM" instead of the radio and protocol versions. And by the time I'm booted into the device properly and have a proper signal, I go to the Device Information page and those fields for Radio and Protocol are empty, and my IMEI is also blank...

Just seems to be a "cosmetic" issue, but it does concern me...

Please tell me I'm not the only one...

actually I get the 'no GSM' notification when I do a soft-reset on my xda Exec too; but in my case I know for sure that it didn't correlate with circumstances where there was no reception,
when I did the soft-reset.
It seems as if it happens intermitedly and randomally with no obvious reason.

Regarding the IMEI disappearing: I only saw it happening once, by chance - as I had no reason to check this phenomena before - so I cannot say for sure if it is related (at least in my device).


will keep you posted if I come across this again.
By the way I saw you had another posting regarding this phenomena: about the disappearance of WiFi (WEP) definitions, etc...
Do you theorise that the effect of this phenomena extend even beyond that?

i also did encounter this problem b4, can't open my contacts, no radio, couldn't key-in my pin code...

the solution that i tried is flash my radio rom with the shipped XDA Exec rom....solves everything..

Perhaps I have a bad SIM then? I don't know...
