Help No Signal

[StevenChap]

My Desire doesnt seem to be getting any signal what so ever, this is not a low signal problem this is a "I dont have any sort of signal anywhere in liverpool I go"

It wont even ring 999 :/ It said before when I went to settings and then mobile networks something about the radio being off :/

I went to the hidden settings and it said radio was on, I did a factory reset and still nothing :/

Its an unrooted Orange Desire with the stock 2.2

If you do a network search can you see any networks at all? Just want to check whether it's a reception problem or a problem connecting.

Sometimes these things are network problems, such as an HLR outage (which will affect certain number ranges, so can cut off some subscribers but not others), but a quick net search isn't showing any reports of such a thing at the moment.

I have put a pay as you go sim in the phone and still no signal, it has a little X on the corner, I dont even know what to do now. My contract sim card now wont work in another phone, is it possible that some app has messed up my phone and simcard ?

I wouldn't have thought that an app could do that on an unrooted phone, and you've already done a factory reset. And the contract SIM not working in another phone??

But does it find any networks if you do a network search? I know it can't register on them, but are they visible? If not that would suggest that there's really a problem with reception rather than connecting (but in that case why would the SIM not work in a different handset?).

Did you test the PAYG worked in a different handset before putting it in the Desire? And does it work in the other phone afterwards?

What were you doing shortly before it started?

Really just trying to work out what is going on.
