Default Red SOS

Three times today I've gotten the red SOS on my phone. Is this happening to anyone else today? Is there some kind of outage? I have had the hybrid OS on this phone for a week and so I dont think that's the cause since this is the first time it's happened. A reboot fixes the issue, but anyone have ideas?

you have this drop issue only on today or also on other days?
it could be a network issue, or it could be hybrid bug issue too.
try to wait out a little longer and see if this problem is still there.

Generally this means that you are unable to get reception on any cell towers from your provider/carrier, however, you are able to get reception from another carriers tower. This lets you use emergency calls, but pretty much nothing else that requires reception.

Hello,
Red SOS usually means the sim card isn't installed. Try taking it out and putting it back in.

that looks like a problem with your sim card
take it to the shop and they will give you a new sim
would also be a good idea to ask them if there is any issue ( coverage ) in your area maybe they are working on a tower or any of their cells are having problems but not many people have complained about

Raps
