Hey Everyone,
I have an XT1540 they I am having trouble with, well the SIM in particular. The issue is that It will not recognize any SIM when it is inserted; the phone has to be restarted in order to be recognized. Not a major problem to be honest but more of an annoyance then anything else. I also have an unlocked XT1032 that recognizes any sim put into it no restarting required. Is there any way to get my G3 to recognize my SIM without having to reset my phone each time? Thanks in advance!
This is quite common with smartphones I guess. Sometimes switching on and off the airplane mode helps recognising the SIM card. If it doesn't work, reboot is the only thing :/

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).
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.

Two months ago my Nexus 5 would start randomly losing signal or say that there was no sim card inserted. After a few reboots it would recognize the sim and let me use it normally, but when the device gets turned off and turned back on again there would be no signal.
More recently my Nexus 5 just says no sim card inserted but when reinserted it gets detected with no signal. Is there anyway i can fix this issue as i got signal yesterday but sadly restarted my phone because of a graphical issue and i lost the signal again. I have also done a factor reset and re-flashed android. Any help would be useful!
(Yes i have tried other sims and same problems)
Current Network: iD
Other Networks Tried: O2,Orange,T-Mobile.
Since the phone behaves the same way with different SIM cards, it could be a hardware failure with the SIM card reader.

But sometimes it will detect the sim and give me a signal and if i restart the phone it will not detect it again. If it was something wrong with the sim reader wouldn't it just not work at all?
Not necessarily because it should always detect the presence of a SIM card, active or not.
Most likely, there's a bad solder joint somewhere, it would work after a few restarts because the metal would expand as the phone heated up and make contact again. You could try to bake the logic board, might fix it. But, realistically, it's a long shot.

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...
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
