i have had my e650 for about 4 months, 2 months waiting for a screen.
I come to my phone the other day. BTW: i havent had credit for about 12 months. So opens internet explorer and types in news and it searches bing. Hold on? i havent got any credit. so i tryed google, loaded ok. facebook same.
With no credit!
No i wasnt using wifi because i was in school.
So i have been using the free internet for 1 1/2 days.
Why the free internet?

Now they have disconnected my number.
This is related yo tour SIM card and has nothing to do with your device. Simply the different systems that check if your SIM is still alive and control your balance seem not well aligned, you were just lucky - that's all.
Iam not lucky that they disconnected my number!
Do you expect to have free surfing forever? The operator needs to make money to have the technology maintained - so pay your share or use WIFI. WIFI in the device is a main reason for the S710.
Im not thick
I discovered it wont read sim cards now for some strange reason.
So i might take it apart and fix it if i can.
Accessing the SIM requires to completely disassemble the device. There is nothing which could break either in that area, so I doubt that it will help.
Cross check if the same SIM runs in other devices - and if so then try to clean the SIM slot with medical alcohol and some cardboard that fits the thickness. If you are careful you will not break or bend any contact.
What is the message that device tells you when you try to use the SIM card?
Well brief history:
I got given 3 voxes
man said fix 1, you can keep the other two.
Made a good one out the two
Kept it and it works.
So i know how to take it apart. And i have had probs with muck getting in the top part of phone before so its probly muck. As you say i will clean it will alcohol wipes and get back to you!
thanks
flyboy
btw: i just get the message when you dont have the sim card in.
and have tried in 02 XDA II and works fine.
I tryed cleaning the contacts but it still wont read sim cards.
Could it be something in the rom?
flyboy
If you have some spare parts from other devices, just swap the upper PBA to see if it is a HW fault. I doubt it is a ROM problem, but you can swap ROMs as well to check.
What is the error message?
Can it just not find a network?
Is the SIM tollkit available (an additional menu item that links to the SIM card)?
Did you mess around with SIM unlocking tools (they may ruin your encrypted area on the device that holds IMEI, CID, Serial SIMLock end so on)? The encrypted area is not touched by any ROM update.
The phone acts like there is no sim in. I have tryed cleaning the contacts but no luck. I might try and flash a new rom to it. But as spare parts go i will have to wait till my Uncle gets back from work because i give them to him for his e650.
flyboy
So ive swapped sim slot and mainboard and the phone still says "no sim or sim invalid. But it works on my xdaII. I just dont get it!
can anyone help?
flyboy
Well i have changed almost everything and the sim still wont work on a vox.
new sim should come soon.

I have an At&t tilt a friend purchased that I have SIM unlocked and updated to the default shipped HTC rom with Radio v. 1.27.12.11, after several hours the phone can no longer read the SIM card and comes up saying the sim is missing.
If I reinstall the At&t rom and replace the bootloader to stock versions the phone is again able to "see" the SIM and works normally.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? My intuition tells me it's the radio but I have done this to 8+ Tilt's and have not had any issue with any of them. (all of them are using radio 1.27.12.11 also)
Hi
this looks like a damaged SIM, try and contact your service provider to replace the it
Thanks, I've tried that.
I've tried putting a known good SIM into the phone with no luck. And if I put the SIM in question into another phone it works perfectly.
i flashed my Tilt with dutty's v3 rom with the 1.27.12.1 radio and had no problems whatsoever for six days.
I flashed my friend's Tilt with the same rom and radio and put my working sim in his phone to test voice quality, etc and got "Sim is missing error." I put a second working sim in the device and got the same error.
I now get the same error when I put both sims back into my Tilt.
I've done a hard reset and flashed 1.27.11.31 and issue persists.
any help is appreciated.
edit: I reflashed the radio. Now one of them is working.
I'll keep at it.
OK, Now after flashing both the HTC and AT&t roms several times as well as all of the radio varients I have determined that something is wrong hardware wise with the phone.
No matter what ROM I flash the sim card cannot be read and furthermore if I then flash the stock bootloader and "lock" the phone the SIM can be read for a period of about 10 minutes.
This is very strange and I can find no good explination for this behavior.
I am flashing the origional At&t rom and bootloader back on the device and sending it back to At&t.

hi so u mean u simunlocked your kaiser130 but how,, im unable to unlock my kaiser 130 locked on uk orange ---regards--cpukiller
I had this EXACT problem. My sim would work in my old 8525 and in an ETEN x500 but kept coming up NO SIM FOUND in my Tilt...It was a brand new TILT and I could not figure it out.
I put a little piece of tape on the lid of the sim card holder on the inside. It puts a little more pressure on the bar that holds the Sim in place and Voila! It recognized the SIM and I have not had a problem the last two weeks.
Give it a try...
I had the same issue with my kaiser. I was able to resolve the issue by applying pressure to the bar while shifting the SIM laterally. Sounds like there's a minor manufacturing issue with the SIM holder.

Just wondering, at times my phone drops signal completely. But only for like 30 seconds to a minute. Do you think it's possible that it "loses" the SIM card?
Or is it more likely that the Kaiser just has poor signal quality? Mine will drop signal even when in a 4 bar area, and when next to other phones on the same carrier which remain at 4 bars.
I would try it...I get very good reception with my TILT. I did try the putting a little pressure on the sim card initially and it would boot up and show the SIM but I would lose it quickly. I tried the little piece of tape as the next step. You don't need much, I used scotch tape and just a single layer so it doesn't add much pressure, just a little bit.
So I wake up 1 morning and find my htc desire is all messed up, after 5 months of use. Rebooting on its own constantly, and weirdly, not being able to find any network (im on orange UK). The phone couldnt even detect there was a simcard in it.
Did the usual - panic - forum search - lots of stories about htc desires rebooting on their own. Lots of stories about desires not being able to detect the simcard due to a lose simcard holder.
Turns out it was none of those things for me - as i put in a vodafone simcard from my work phone - and it was absolutely fine. No rebooting, no problems connecting to a network.
conclusion - the orange simcard had somehow corrupted itself during my sleep, and was attacking my phone.
can anyone explain this?
The Sim gods hate you ? You may have to go to sim city and give offerings........
Seriously,
A Likely candidate for the sim problem would be a mechanical problem. In other words, the cards' gold micro coating is worn causing some resistance and then after enough time either heat or some other data transfer problem manifests and you get a reboot. Try replacing the Sim card. Other options is Vodaphone had a bad batch of cards and you got one..... lucky you. And, of course the company would never willingly disclose they had a bad batch of cards.
There is some guesses you can start with.......... I would just replace the card they are 8.00usd here so it is a cheap fix.
Hi !
My Htc one S sometimes show the advice that indicate that there is no SIM inserted, even if the sim is there and even if the phone is already power on, it shows the message after some times it's on. Any suggest?
Have you tried a different SIM card? Could be something wrong with the card. Also make sure all the contacts on the SIM and phone are clean.
If it still doesn't work then looks like you'll have to go back to HTC.
My SIM didnt work in my S when I got it.
After some googling it seemed quite common on the X.
The general answer was "get a new SIM". I got a new SIM and it solved my problem at least.
If a new SIM doesnt work, it might be a hardware issue with your device and you should probably return it.
actually I just have one micro SIM and I cannot try a switch. Also in order to try I would need to take the other sim for long time because this happen with a low frequency..
Get it exchanged from your carrier. Shouldnt cost much, if anything at all (Telia here in sweden didnt charge anything at least).
Hi guys
my brother bought a brand new galaxy note 10.1 couple a days ago and it worked fine, the day before yesterday he accidently insert a micro sim in the slot..it took his wife quite a while and a hairpin to remove it successfully and then he inserted a normal sim and it worked fine. but yesterday he removed it without turning the device off (tried different one to copy the contacts) and now the device cant read the sim...i tried to factory reset it, code reset and tried new sim but didnt work
can someone please help me
Well some connector must have damaged since its a new note take it to a service center tell them it is not working since day one it will be declared DOA and would be replaced
im done like waht your wife done and i destroy all pin when removing micro sim when i went to service center thay tell me we cant fix it and i go to another small shop i told him this problem and he fix my note ne and working well now he change sim house with him self in 2 hours
first of all thank you all for your quick reply
secondly...i dont think it is a hardware problem since the sim was working perfectly till he removed it accidentally
there is however another point i noticed minutes ago, although there is no sim card the tablet show signal bars beside the "emergency calls only"
thought i mentioned it
Well there is a hardware failiure with the sim module may if you have seen how the sim connect to the connectors in a cell phone u will know that the connectors come out a little while removing the micro sim you must have done some damage what it is we do not either the two connectors have inter connected none the less there is some failiure

but the sim worked after the removal of the micro sim for two whole days (calls and data)....it wasnt till the accidental removal that this happened
It appears the problem is that you are not getting the answer you want, however it is the answer.
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda app-developers app
Only three choices .
One try a new sim
Two factory reset .
Three a service centre .
As number three may be damage not warranty i would try one and two first .
jje
Have you tried another sim card?
If it didn't work your solution is as already told a service center.
Am having the same problem and i didnt hamper the hardware.
it happened after i updated
Hello! I've had the ONO (A0001) for about 3 years and it has been more than adequate for my needs. It has had a few drops along the way, but nothing terrible. Was always kept in a Diztronic case with screen protector. Been running the Resurrection
Remix ROM (Android 7.1.1) very stable since the start of the year.
However, after its latest fall (it actually landed screen first!), I've noticed that my ONO has stopped recognizing the SIM altogether. I've tried reinserting the SIM card, network reset, rebooting, cleared the 'Phone' and 'SIM Toolkit' app caches, wiped cache in TWRP, but to no success. Interestingly, WiFi still works. Attempting to access 'Cellular Networks' from 'Wireless & Networks' to change 2G-3G-LTE returns "com.android.phone has stopped" at every attempt.
Has anyone every experienced this before and knows how to fix it? I have a sick feeling that this may be a hardware problem.

Hi @xFalcon1986 I had a similar issue for about one year. This may or may not help but for what it's worth, here is my experience:
Only my home network sim card would reliably work. Recently, I was traveling and once again my roaming worked for a few minutes before the phone gave me the notification: sim not found. I decided that enough was enough - I needed to figure this out or get a new phone. When I removed the problematic sim and compared i to my old home network sim, I noticed that there was tiny bit of curvature on the card. Excited about the potential, I bent the sim that would go unrecognized within a few minutes. Turns out, the first time I bent it, the side I made concave was the wrong one. After the first failed attempt, I pulled the card out again and then bent it the other way. It didn't work either and hope was fading. Just to be sure, I bent the sim one more time - this time further than I thought healthy for the sim. Turns out those cards are quite flexible! Once I inserted the sim, the network connection returned and remained for at least 20 minutes. It then went unrecognized and so I bent it once again and everything continued working.
It turns out that I need to bend the sim card once per week but besides that, my phone once again recognizes the sim.
I have no idea if you went to another phone by now but give this bendy trick a shot. The metal contacts might just have been bent a bit too much one way or the other while the phone impacted the ground. Give it a try and let us know how it worked for you. Cheers!

I have a similar problem. I wanted to activate the SIM. I didn't have access to the SIM card number for activation. So I removed it to read the number. When I put it back in I started getting "not found messages". Turns out something happened to the SIM card tray, and the card slid off the tray and was stuck inside the phone! I finally got it out by bumping the phone against my hand.
I went through e-Bay and located a replacement as the original appears damaged.
Is your Macgivered solution still working? Have you gone to another phone?

I just tried it & surprisingly it worked for me. Thanx
It worked for me

Hi! Sorry for the late reply but yes the solution is working great. Because of it, I'm still making use of my OnePlus One! I found that after the second week of bending, the sim card held the shape for about three months before I needed to bend it again.
Funny thing is that I initially also had my sim stuck inside the phone for some reason and getting it out was a real pain. However, with the bendy trick the sim had been working and I've had no trouble removing it when necessary. Hope you were able to figure something out. ?
