Default Losing signal on my HOX

This is weird. When I woke up I restarted my HOX and suddenly signal kept dropping. Keeps saying preparing sim card. What could be causing this? I don't want to keep factory resetting. Seems to be a really great phone but now I don't know if I should return it. Please if anyone can help.

Got exactly the same thing, was told by HTC it was faulty. Send it back for a replacement.

are you using a call blocker? I was getting weird issues when using root call blocker. I had to uninstall it, had read from the app devs they are working on the problem

Already happened to me three times where suddenly "preparing sim card" appears and I lose signal. Had to hard reset all the time. Unfortunately, htc shops here in the Philippines are crap. They say they have to send it to service center even if the phone is a week old. For what? So they open it up? I don't want to have a week old phone opened and fixed. I want a replacement.

Have the phone for 2 week now, and today i also faced this problem for the first time T_T (running stock 1.28)
Just great, first the yellow spots that didn't went away and now this problem on top of it ?

I hope it was a coincidence and hope i won't get worse.

I had my microSIM replaced and so far, crossing my fingers, signal has been full almost all the time. I just had the original SIM cut before, so I hope that was just the problem.
