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).

this phone is working without any problems and with every sim cards but yesterday phone shut down and now when i start the phone in display show sim failure only emergency calls but sim is inside and when i remove sim phone not start how can i solve this problem????
Hi there.... There are 2 possibilites here... The first is that your sim "went"... This is the least likely of the features, but it can happen (happened to me).. The more likely senerio is that your sim is just loose underneath. I used to have (Actually I still have it) a mpx200 as well.. It was a GREAT phone, except the sim housign was poorly designed and the sim cards dont; always hold a good contact. I suggest that you take out the sim card and reinster it.. The also fol a small piace of peper in 1/2 and place it over the sim card under the battery... that seemed to help a lot with my phone... Sometimes my card would do that in the middle of a call.. very irritating. Let me know if this helps!
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

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.

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.

So it finally got here. I spent four hours loading apps and setting configuration. I turned it off to clear it out and when it rebooted it said "no SIM card, emergency calls only." It was the card out of my G2 so I thought there was something wrong with the G2X. When I put the card back in the G2 I got the same thing - "no SIM card." I've been through a lot of SIM cards over the years and never had one crap out so I'm assuming the phone did something to it. I'm on the phone with T-Mobile now trying to get the new SIM card that came in the G2X box provisioned.
It also spontaneously reset my Bluetooth settings back to stock wiping out all the paired devices and the name I gave it.
There's other strangeness to report but I'm too tired. Tomorrow.
I would like to know how that'd be possible. .. frying a sim card?!? I mean could it short it out? LOL everyone is posting a lot of problems. Only thing I'm pissed about is this bleeding on black/dark screens.
Other than that this thing smokes any phone I've had!

Bluetooth issue happened to me once so far.
It happens. More than likely, it is just coincidence.
I have had a SIM last 7 years, and I've had one last only a couple months.
It's nothing to do with the phone, just get a new SIM and move on.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 (SCH-I535) that I was trying to resurrect as a WiFi hotspot and found that I have a couple of issues here that I never had before.
First off, I've tried putting in different SIM cards trying to activate it and the crazy phone will not read any of the SIM cards that I put in it. Before anyone asks, I did make sure that the card was installed properly. It doesn't matter if I put in a Verizon or Straight Talk SIM card. Neither one works. I always get the pop up box telling me that I need to insert a SIM card even though I have already put one in.
Second issue that I have been having recently is that anytime I take out the battery in the S3 (either to replace SIM card because it's easier to replace SIM card with the battery out of it) or to put in another battery, I lose the current date and time in the phone. Always goes back to noon on January 1st. This one is just pure irritating to me.
These issues just came up in the past few weeks and I'm tempted to just chuck the phone if I'm not able to get these issues rectified. Any help I can get on this would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you need to have the phone activated. Not sure about the SIM issue, but all phones get the time from the cellular network when they're powered up.

I've tried that but I still get the SIM Card message coming up even though I have inserted it. I thought that the phones get the time from somewhere and this week is the first time that I've had the issue with the phone losing the date and time once I change out the battery.

For your sim issue this setting maybe help you
Goto Setting>More settings(in wireless and network tab) >Mobile Networks>Network mode

Hello guys. I remake phone to work with 3G (solder sim slot in service just like in guide wrote) But now my phone sometimes (2-3 times in day) is missing SIM card. After reboot the SIM is working fine, but in few hours SIM is missing again and reboot needed. I know that the same problem was with another phone another man (i found out it on russian forums about Photon). Any suggestions? Can somebody help me?
I had the same problem. for me it was just the case. there was not enough space for the sim so it get pressed all the time down on the side
and the other side was coming up. that was making problem with the contacts of the sim reader.
Yea, I would think a loose wire/solder or some clearance issue with the SIM slot...
