Micro switch on the side of sim card - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

I noticed there is a micro switch next to where you put the sim card. Any idea what it does? I can't look into it cuz my lcd is broken at the moment . Just brought a week and a half ago.

It automatically switches off the device when opening the SIM slot ;-)

oh cool thanx a bunch.

sorry to hijack the thread but, is there a problem if i were to break the switch to enable sim hotswapping? I used to do so with my dash, i just shut off the phone radio and swapped sim with the phone still on, saved me quite some time as I do it quite often and have had no problems whatsoever yet.

switch off when simcard inserted

hi guys,
i got TYTN II brand new whenever simcard inserted, phone start up then switch off itself.
without simcard start up ok, go all the way to the main screen.
is this to do with the Radio rom?? i flash with the original rom still no luck.
have anyone here experience this
thanks
Sounds like the SIM card isn't inserted well or the contacts are dirty (or could be the SIM card). Try cleaning the contacts on the SIM and device first and make sure the door is securely shut.
I think you have this confused. When you switch it up it turns off the phone so you can turn it on and the phone recognized the sim, if it would stay on when you put the sim, it wouldn't recognize the sim, so put it in then keep it in and turn it on and it should have recognized the sim. If you know that already, then do what Jwy said, I recommend rubbing alcohol and 100% cotton.
my device is working ok, but everytime i just unlock the sim card slot (without touching the card itself, my device shuts down, no matter which rom or radio rom.
It's no problem for me because i've just got one single sim card, but if i would have two different sim's....
Is this the standard behaviour ? I think it's strange, just curious about that...
that is normal , there is a little switch behind it that turns your device off .
some kind of protection.
Right, most phones have the sim under the battery so you must pull the battery to insert the sim. The Kaiser cuts the power with a switch on the sim door to protect the sim from a "hot" insertion and possible damage when changing sims.

well simcard is 100% working, nothing to do with the simcard dirty or damage.
Another TYTN II i have is working fine with this simcard.

No man, no confusion here, i know how its works
you didn't read my msg propely,
" switch off when simcard in the phone" if i take to simcard out, the phone boot up fine, ok
i switch it off then put simcard in (clip the simcard's door) then turn the phone on, just say HTC logo then switch itself off
ADD:
i mention that i got 2 TYTNII ok.
i swap the motherboard between eachother, still the same.
so i think either RADIO ROM or HARDWARE !!
so i want opinion here, whether its the HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE???
thanks
Ah, ok. You don't have to get mad . It could be software. I have seen this happen to people. Try a different rom & radio.

Sim missing ? Any ideas

Hi
ive got a problem whereby my phone stops recognising my simcard and i can't
get it to recognise it unlless i hard reset
the hard reset works for about 3-4 hours and then it stops recognising it.
( during the 3-4 hours i don't move the phone just so it HOPEFULLY proves it isn't hardware.
Any Ideas
thanks ben
( it is on 02 and i have tryed other 02 cards and an orrange card )
I know this has been covered a few times and can be found easily using the search...
Most liklely it is hardware, as the ROM does not really ever affect that. One thing to try is when you open the sim card door, there is a metal bar that goes over the card and holds it in place. Remove the card and press down on the tab untill it touches the golden tabs below it. Then put the card in. This should put pressure on the card and keep it connected. If that does not work, you may need to replaced the sim card reader
Hardware definitely. Had the same problem and luuckily had extra parts. Swapped it out and works like a charm now.

Swapped what out ?
The SIM card reader ?
Where would I get one ?
Who would install it ?
I have this issue and I want to go back to my TyTN II.
Thanks.
I wouldn't count too much on the hardware. When i got my Kaiser yesterday (slightly used) it recognised every simcard i had in store, except my own, which i wanted to use. Simcard in different phone (a soaked Herald, but somehow sometimes working) told me the sim was fine. So i transferred my contract to a out-of-the-box simcard from KPN-NL, and that one somehow worked. I didn't really bother to have another thought about it, but is it a known hardware issue then?

[NEED HELP] kaiser lossing signal and can't read simcard

i've try to find similiar problem and i can't find the answer...
guys my kaiser can't read my sim card
i lose it when i use android, so i use wm 6.0 again...
the signal got well for one night, but since this morning it never read my simcard...
i've use mtty, change radio, use wm 6.1, wm 6.5 and it still can't read my simcard...
can anybody help me with this problem??
about my english please forgive me, i'm still learning...
thanks guys for your help...
Hey, I can't really help you. But the same has happened to me a few times: every time, it eventually started to work again after some time. Could be a few hours, could be a week - so be patient. I have no idea what the problem is, but at some point it started working again after I put someone else's SIM in my phone then switched back (both SIMs were of the same provider). Good luck!
you are not alone
I have exactly same problem with you.. since 2 days ago my kaiser won't read any sim card.
Actually it had happened a few weeks ago, my kaiser fell from my hands and hit the floor. After that, my kaiser stop reading sim card, but after one night it started to works again just like Cerberus_tm said.
2 days ago it happened again I really careless.. but this time until today, my kaiser still won't recognize any sim card.
I have done some reading in a few old thread about this case. I'm not sure myself but based on those thread, I can conclude that the problem could be because of the sim card doesn't make contact with card holder, or there is a problem with the flex cabble that connecting our sim card holder.
FYI, if you are interested in fixing the flex cabble, the price is about 700.000 IDR here in bandung.

Fixed my sim card no work issue
It was intermittently working so I knew I was close and yes the poor Tytn II 8925 has been dropped about 1/mth thanks to the stupid sprint magnet case that always seems to let go after I get up from a chair. I tried raising the gold contacts that touch my sim card, that did NOT work. I tired putting one layer of masking tape on my sim card, that did NOT work either. I even got a new sim card from my carrier $10, that did NOT work. Finally I tired pushing down on the steel house that holds the sim card, that worked!
Just put a piece of paper on the back of sim card while inserting it into the sim holder, my kaiser suddenly started acting like this, I slid a piece of paper at sim's back and now its working pitch perfect
Sorry Sim card error back (not fixed)
Seems to work after battery removal and 3 restarts, getting ready to dump the phone.... It works for a couple of hours, then all of sudden sim card can't be read....can't live like this.

perhaps by way of radio uprgade you can handle !! You can get more information at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393182
perhaps try reinsert the sim module if you are ok to open the device up? or replace the simcard module flex cable

No sim card, comes and goes..

My devices sometimes cannot read the sim card, and some times it can. No matter what sim I use, what ROM I use, and I've even tried another sim card reader, but the problem seem to be something else.
Anyone experienced this?
I've been looking for a way to emulate a sim card, like a soft sim solution, but it seem this is not easy..
Maybe it's time to let the old m7 retire...
Anyway, thanks to all contributors in this community, it's been awesome. Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Maybe the sim card isn't making a good contact when inserted in the tray, A few ppl got a similar issue and used paper to shim the sim card (not recommended since your sim tray can get stuck). I would try another sim first...

Yes, that's a common issue. The first steps was to use a little tape on the sim, second step was to try another sim, third step was to open the device and take out the sim reader, clean it with ethanol, check every pin and so on, then I tried another sim reader, but the problem still remains.
I too have the same problem, of signal on and off. I think the device detected the SIM card as it asked for PIN to unlock. I tried the *#*#4636#*#* to choose WCDMA only / preferred, but still same problem. So, did you retire the beautiful phone of yours?

Since not even replacing the sim reader solved the problem, it can no longer be used as a phone.
And anyway, the battery is getting seriously old, so when my dogs destroyed my remote control, the good old HTC one m7 now have a new life, filled with joy and happiness.
Anymote app is nice, and m7 are now a media control hub in my living room.
Since April 29 2013 this device have improved my life quality, with the good help from this great community on XDA.
