Hello,
I have been using the HTC One E8 for about 8 months now. Four months ago, I discovered that the top of the screen (about the top 1cm) stopped responding to touch. It wont slide down except I put the phone in landscape. I returned it to the seller/HTC dealer who decided that the screen was the problem and replaced it. That particular problem stopped but since then, the SIM 2 has become inactive. The devices shows when the 2nd SIM slot is occupied/empty as the case may be but when there is a SIM in the slot, the SIM has not network and cannot be accessed.
What can cause this and what are the possible solutions?
Thank you.

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.
Ok, I'm going to give you guys the whole background story just to cover all the bases.
I've had a Nexus S for about 6 months, never had a hitch. Rooted it, etc etc all fine and dandy.
About two weeks ago, I updated it to CM 7.1 RC1. So far so good.
I've always had the same Vodafone SIM card, which has accompanied me through a couple of phones. Last week, I went to London and bought a UK pay as you go card, to use data without roaming. Perfect. No problems whatsoever.
So, to make it clear, I never had problems with my original (portuguese) SIM card, nor with the british one I had just bought.
However, it was upon my return that I realized I had forgotten my SIM card at my friend's house. I quickly stopped by the Vodafone store at the airport, where they promptly gave me a new SIM, ready to use within a couple of hours.
Since then, my phone after a short period of being on, spontaneously fails to detect the SIM card/no longer recognizes it. I've tried scanning for networks in the settings, but it won't let me register again. It takes a reboot to get it working. Thing is after a couple of minutes or hours, it happens again.
I have since exchanged the new SIM card with a newer one , also from Vodafone, albeit a different store. Yet, the problem persists.
I didn't alter any settings between Portugal-UK-Portugal, so everything should be exactly the same. Does anyone know how to solve this or why this happens?
Faulty phone?
Faulty radio?
Faulty SIM cards?
ROM bug?
Any help is appreciated.
Hey,
I have a TYTN II wich was working fine for the past few months.
Suddenly it became to had wierd problems with touchsreen.
So i have two sim cards (each for different network).
The phone was working on card #1 fine for the past few months. Card #2 was used in different phone.
Now on one day, touchscreen stopped working (but the keys were working). I restated phone, did hard reset etc. Same
So i swapped sim cards - guess what, touch screen was working. Then again i swapped the main card back, touchscreen WAS working but just for a couple of hours.
So i started using card #2 on Kaiser. Touch was working for a week or so, then similiar problem. It stopped working.
_______________________________________________________________
Now the question is, can it be somehow connected to the newest battery problems? Just after the touch probs my battery started to act wierd. Im having problems with charging the phone, the phone restarts itself randomly etc.
I guess the battery probably died, right? But while dying, could it be somehow the issue for my sim cards problems?
Cheers

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
Hey there, everyone.
I've had my Z5 for over a year now, it's been running completely fine and have been happy with the phone. However last Wednesday my SIM card doesn't seem to work anymore. Let me rephrase that, the Z5 no longer reads the sim card. I have tested the SIM on two other phones ( one Locked to O2 and one Unlocked) and the SIM does work on both.
I've tried many things such as :
Searching Google + XDA, however the threads seem to be 2-3 years old.
Hard resetting the phone
Taking the SIM card out and gently cleaning it
Upgraded phone to 32.2.A.5.11
Downgraded the phone to 32.1.A.1.163
Tried to turn the Radio ON in the *#*#4636#*#* , didn't do anything, won't turn ON.
doing a factory reset did not work.
I am beginning to think the SIM card slot inside the phone is somehow damaged or moved position.
Any ideas? I'm stuck.
Guess it's an hardware problem, if so, you're screwed but if you have a warranty (seller or Sony) try to use it, I can't help you further sorry mate
