[q] no service issue

[emv1031]

Anyone ever get no service or dead signal of their Sensation. I tried searching and googling solutions but nothing yet. The phone was fine as of today... sent an sms, lay the phone down, after while I pick it up to see if I had any reply and BOOM! there's no signal. Whenever that had happened (the signal dropping) I've just turned on airplaine mode, and turn it back off. This time nothing happened. Tried pulling off the battery and reseting...nothing. I have an old back cover so I put it on thinking maybe it was the antenna connectors in the cover... nothing. Tried my SIM in a different phone, works just fine, so no, it's not the SIM or the carrier. Tried another SIM in my phone and still NO SERVICE... so it is looking to be something wrong on the phone. I also did a restore from a back up I had from about a month ago,.. problem still persists. I'm on a CM 10.1 ROM.... could it be a hardware issue all of the sudden? suggestions???

Have you had this phone for a long time or recently bought it? If it's recently bought from another person it could be blacklisted? If not then could it be your housing antenna is not touching the contacts?

Check your imei in your About Phone in the case that it isn't wiped or a weird number. If it shows up unknown, it could be a wiped imei.

Maybe your sim reader is dead?

thanks...

Had it for a couple of months but bought it brand new... so no, not blacklisted. I did try a different housing as well and same problem so that's not it either. The SIM card reader option sounds more like it. Any ideas how bad of a repair that might be?

Before going in that direction, have you tried a stock RUU? Have you checked your imei or whatever it is shown I'm the baseband and system information?

Someone may need to correct me but I don't think its a hard fix if its the sim card tray. It seems its a flex cable you need to connect rather than a soldered connection. Its 20 bucks.

Well the phone did come on stock GB 2.3 (sense).... From there it offered an update to ICS... I took it.... Didn't like it much so went to Android Revolution HD... Way too laggy so I moved to CM 10.1 and that one did the trick for me. But through all those changes never had signal problems until last night... And the CM 10.1 had been running for a couple of months now.

Thx

Wow that's strange. It doesn't hurt to RuU though. Might be annoying but I'd take the easiest route just to make sure. Then go to the bug fix. Have you taken a look at the sim card trays on eBay or anything or a fix on YouTube?

OK update. Seems the problem might've corrected itself.... Don't ask me how cuz I don't have a clue. But since nothing seemed to work I decided to pull the battery and just leave it out overnight. Next morning put it back in, powered on and boom: signal. Not sure why it required such a long battery pull but as long as it worked I'm not inclined to find out.

Thx for your help.
