Hi all,
sometimes happens a foolish situation
i bring out my jolla from pocket, unlock the screen and PIN request is shown
so would mean that mobile net was go down or maybe my SIM was exit from support (sorry for the english)
but SIM is perfectly in his place...
so i think that system sometimes exit itself from mobile net...
it is frustrating i think
i can miss calls without know it!
bad bug

did not happen to me in 5 days now. the Jolla even has 2G availlable in the Cellar which is an impressive feat (no other Phone in the Household can do that).

@MichdeSkunk

Could you try removing the sim lock to see if the problem persists ?

Maybe also do some test calls to the phone after a while of being in your pocket to make sure it still rings ?

Are you using a hand cut micro sim or one that came as standard micro sim from your mobile network ?

I read about similar problem from finish Jolla forum...actually there were several people having problems with the SIM. They said that pressing the back cover (TOH) where the SIM is placed causes Jolla to lose SIM. I haven't dared to try mine yet :-)

yea it is a mechanical problem!!! i cant get it!!!

blitzschlag

had this happen too lately. Carrying the Phone in the Trouser-Pocket caused it to loose Contact to the SIM. It was not permanent though. Still the Phone/OS needed a reboot to connect with the Provider again.

Hopefully they can fix this with SW...by ignoring short SIM decontact. Although contact lost during call might still be fatal (?).

well, i had this happen a lot lately (white and poppy red toh) by just carrying the jolla in my trousers. Also i could force the sim-disconnect by pressing the area on the toh where the sim-socket is located and by directly applying light pressure to the sim-socket without a toh in place.
pretty annoying as its not a general Problem and seems to be Hardware related (at least there are ppl that clain that they got a Replacement Phone by Jolla when mentioning this Issue to Jolla helpdesk).

I did quite a bit of testing and researching and found a Solution for my Problem thats also mentioned on the maemo board. i ejected my sim and put a layer of scotch-tape on the left side of my sim. double on the diagonal.
What can i say. Two weeks of testing and even directly pressuring the sim-socket without toh applied does not force a disconnect since.

Hope that helps.

Howdy, Stranger!
