I bought a new to me tilt. I am using the same sim card as my last tilt, but every few minute/hours I loose all signal and the phone says that there is no sim. I have checked my sim and its clean. I have checked the phone using my wifes sim and i get the same problem. I have stuck a piece of paper behind the sim as it was inserted into the phone and nothing works. After a soft reset it will normally read the sim but doing this every few hours is crazy. I have ordered all required tools and am prepared to do surgery on the phone by switching sim sockets. I would like to avoid this can someone please help.

Okey, here is a stange problem!
I purchased a used Tytn II today, and everything seems to work fine! BUT there is a BIG BUT, every time I restart my device it says that the sim card is missing even tough it is in fact in the device, then I have to take the card out reset the device shut it off again and insert the sim card!
Sometime it works and sometimes I have to repeat that procedure several times before it realises that there is a sim card!
Is someone else having this problem, and if yes how do you go around fixing this?
Or is my device simply broke?
Thanks in advance!
I posted this a couple of months ago - works for me
"Happened to me when I got a T-Mobile PAYG SIM last week to trial for data coverage.
Popped SIM in and worked well.
I then tried a Vodafone Sim and that was ok.
When I put the T-Mobile SIM back in - I got the message "no SIM found"
Tried Orange and Vodafone and they both gave the same message !
I was not convinced the SIM'S were making good contact - there seemed too much movement under the flimsy metal crossbar.
The solution to get the T-Mobile and other SIM's working was to insert a small piece of paper on top the SIM as you slide it under the metal crossbar.
This puts a little bit of extra padding on top of the SIM to help make decent contact.
I suppose the paper could be put on top of the crossbar instead to achieve the same effect but have not tried this.

Also make sure the sim is clean - use a pencil eraser is one suggestion.
So far so good!

Okey, I tried to put some paper between and so far it works!
The strange thing is that I did not even try to replace the card, I just rebooted the device and the sim card was missing!
Cant figure that out!
Hi there,
I just wanted to stop in and say thank you! I have been beating my head against the wall for the past two weeks over why my Tilt kept losing its network connections in perfect conditions and constantly telling me the SIM card was missing. Reseating it only worked once in a great while, but slipping a piece of paper in there seems to have done the trick nicely. I did notice that the contacts on the Tilt dig grooves into the SIM card contacts - do you think perhaps this is the problem or is this common among cell phones?
Thanks Bigdish, worked for me too.
thanks a lot for the information, putting a paper on the SIM resolved the issue in my tytn II, I was so nervous when I saw sim not found in my phone and tried to do reset several times and also repeated the ROM upgrade several times and finally a piece of paper served the purpose thanks....
Tilt was previously working. Now shows "No SIM" on screen when any SIM is inserted.
Any idea what the issue might be?
I am not the current owner of the tilt, nor do I have access to it to test anything, so that is basically everything I know about it.
What is your best guess?
Thanks
is it your phone or is it a phone you got of e-bay.
If of e-bay it may be that yur IMEI is barred.

Ebay.
Well if that is that case great, because my carrier does not ban IMEIs, so it will work perfectly for me.
Is that really the message you would get if your IMEI was dissabled though? That doesn't really make sense, as it would see the SIM and you would see it say: Searching for network... Registering... and then it might say no SIM, but it says no SIM right away, so that can't really be it.
Any other ideas?
this is usualy a bad sim card..
usualy either a worn card.. or possibly an issue on the att side with your sim number
if you frequent any core att stores you might could get a free one..
I stopped bidding for it on eBay, cuz I don't feel like taking the risk.
It sold for $127.50
Sounds silly, i know, but i had the same a while ago, found the sim goes in and locks shut back to front the contact part going in last, just maybe this simple
I had a similar problem with my new Tytn II. Only 3 days old and after I took out and reinserted SIM, I got the "No SIM" message, same problem with another SIM card as well.
Just as I was ready to return the device, after a final test with my SIM card, it decided to work. I have not taken out the SIM since and this problem hasn't shown up.
There have been a couple of threads on this problem.
It would seem that the design of the SIM connector is not all that it should be.
My main SIM sometimes wouldn't connect and another couple of SIMs would not connect at all.
A piece of paper, folded if necessary, inserted between the SIM card and the metal clip to increase the contact pressure has completely fixed the problem on mine, but apparently it has not worked for everyone.
Help,
No matter what radio or rom i flash it wont read the sim card. I've tried a few different sims by different providers and none of them work. This problem started when.. It would only work on 1 network (T-Mobile) even though i had hard SPL unlocked it and flashed a custom rom and radio. I then tried the CID unlocker and when i read the CID it said TMOB001 so i changed it to 00000000 reset the phone and now it doesn't pickup any sim. If i changed the CID back to TMOB001 would it then start to only pickup the t mobile sim as id rather have a phone on t mobile than no phone.
I recently experienced the same problem. I corrected it by placing a small piece of folded paper between the sim and the cage that surrounds it. The thicker the paper the more pressure on the sim. My situation was odd because my wifes sim would work in it but neither mine nor sons would work. All are on Tmo. My problem occured after i had the sim out for a flash so my mind was convinced it was a bug in the rom but it wasnt.
hope it helps
You should check all 8 pins, that they are up waiting to be pushed down by the sim.
I had one that had dropped down, So I had to take the phone apart and remove the sim holder to solder it back in place.
The sim holder is a removable plug in item so you could order a new one if needed.
Worked, sneaky piece of paper behind the sim lid and it worked! Thankyou for the posts!!!
RECAP
If your Kaiser no longer recognizes the sim card try a piece of paper under the closing lid or the sim holder
I'm having a really weird problem with my XDA Stellar, worked fine for over a year and then suddenly it said No SIM inserted.
Took the SIM out, tried it in another phone - it worked ok.
Used a different SIM in my Stellar - it worked.
Put the original SIM back in - no sim card inserted!
Contacted o2 for a replacement SIM
Inserted and it worked - hurray, for about 24 hours!
Now its back to saying no SIM inserted and as before the SIM works in other phones and other SIMs work in the Stellar.
Anyone any ideas what's going on!
Try cleaning the sim card contacts with a rubber & also try putting a bit of paper/thin cardboard behind the sim so it is pushed onto the contacts in the sim holder better.
Have some threads on this, bit of a known issue.
Do a search if you want more details.
Ahh, many thanks Mister B, the piece of paper did the trick!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have searched and could not find an answer to my issue. I purchased a T-mobile variant Galaxy S6 it was stuck on the Samsung logo but I only paid $100 so I figured worst case scenario sell it for parts. I managed to get it to boot everything works except cellular service. If I remove the Sim it says "Sim Card Removed" Restart. After restart it goes immediately to No Sim Card . I insert the Sim and it says "Sim card Detected" Restart. After Restart No Sim Card???? Checked IMEI its clean, flashed stock via Odin, pulled what little hair I had left out. Any words of wisdom? Thank you in advance for your time. forgot to add no mobile networks option at all in settings?
Does the SIM card work in another phone?
yes sim card works in other phones
Could be why you paid $100 for it. If your SIM works in another phone then there is a issue with the S6 being able to read your SIM. Have a friend with T-MOBILE? Try their SIM card. You might have a picky SIM.
of coarse it's why I paid a $100 for it, no matter what I can get my money back out of it but I was hoping to be able to fix it. Tried several sim cards same thing it recognizes the card restarts no sim card. I was thinking it might be the sim card reader itself but the fact that there's no Mobile networks in settings makes me think it's software related? Oh well I guess parts on ebay here I come. Anyone need a new display LoL
Same issue
Hi there. I have exactly the same issue with an O2 unlocked S6. I used my Ee sim on it till two weeks ago when suddenly i lost all network capacity (same as you). Previously i flashed an unbranded stock firmware in order to get rid of the o2 logo (may seem stupid but that was what i did). After 2 weeks of normal use with the new rom suddenaly i couldn't give/receive calls /texts. Since, i tried wiping, flashing, advanced wiping etc but same issue. Any advice is more than appreciated.
