Hero loosing signal

[Guest MrPadie]

Hello everyone.

Recently, my hero has been randomly loosing signal to my network provider. It seems that if I use the phone, it never looses any signal, but when I unlock the phone after a while, I see that it has no service. If from there I put the phone in airplane mode for a few seconds, and then turn airplane mode off, it generally catches the signal again. Also, if I scan for networks manually, I can see all the networks in my area, but I receive a message saying that my SIM card does not allow this connection if I try to connect to any of them, including my home network.

Also, this has happened throughout a number of ROM's and Radio's, so it cannot be ROM specific. If it helps, I am on Virgin Mobile in South Africa.

Has anybody else got any tips or ideas as to why my signal is dropping? I can also post my logcat later today if it will help.

Thanks!

I would suggest trying to turn off, 3G services, either via phone if it's possible, or via the service provider. Since I had a similar problem with my Touch Pro 2, after I changed my provider, and the solution was just to ask the provider to drop me off the 3G services.

Not sure, how, and why that could cause a problem, but eh, since it solved mine, it might solve yours =)
