Experiencing the same issues others are having having with HTC 8x with phone shutting off, text message sending errors and sim card error. What is the solution ?

[JPM8]

The phone was working quiet well until the last 3-4 months at which point these issues happen regularly.  After the latest sofware update (this week) the phone now turns the speaker on with phone calls even tho the speaker is turned off.

Getting very discouraged and need some help please.

We definitely want to get your phone up and running at 100%! Let's try a few things together. First, which software version are you running on your 8X? http://vz.to/1oQA5Xx What happens when you try to send a text message? Any error code or message? Does the SIM error have a message or code as well?

The SIMM error doesn’t provide an error code. I have taken the SIMM card out and reseated but still get the error.

The text error doesn’t provide an error code but just states “Can’t send message. Please try again”. Usually the only work around is to delete the thread and reboot the phone.

The software version:

OS version 8.0.10501.127

Firmware: 3030.0.42201.605

Radio software version: 2.000.50.0528_3

Thank you.

I am have been having the exact same issues for months. The phone has been rebooting, my calls have been getting cut off, and the phone keeps saying that there is a SIM card error or that the SIM card is missing and I have no service. This is becoming an all day everyday problem. I am also having issues with not being able to send text messages. I keep getting the “Can’t send message.  Please try again” message. Then I find out sometimes that the person I am texting is getting the same text message each time I try again. This is very annoying and I am ready to either switch phones or go to another carrier.

I was having the same issues with my 8X phone for months, After a lot of googling and trying numerous fix's, I had the SIM Card changed out and did a soft reset and all was good for about a month. I have since changed the SIM card 3 times. There is a suggestion on the net to place 3 pieces of scotch tape on the back of the SIM card, trim it up and reinsert it back into the SIM slot.  I'm going for a new SIM card tomorrow and will use the tape.
