I don't know what the hell is wrong. It was working fine the other minute. I got a new text message, and tried to open to see what it was. It wouldn't open! Then the phone automatically shut up. I turned it back on, but it said the sim door was unlocked and the phone auto-shutdown because of it. But I can't do anything about it because it's stuck!

Just yesterday i set my phone down (in my car) and went in to a restaurant to get food. After i was done eating i came out and now when i power it on it says:
"SIM door is unlocked, please lock it. The device will automatically turn off in 10 seconds".
The sim door IS locked, and i have tried flipping a little black switch right under the sim door locking mechanism in hopes that that was the problem. But now about 20 hours later with the battery out and the sim door wide open in a bag of rice it gave me the same result.
Is my phone ruined? could it possibly be that quirky? And is there ANYTHING I can do?
I recall reading about someone else with that problem on here. Vaguely.
Is there at least any way that i can make this phone able to be sent in to HTC?
Bump to beg for help! Please anyone have any idea how to bypass this? or if i can get a new switch? any help at all would be hugely appreciated!
If this happened to me I would of flashed back to the original rom just in case something would of happened thereafter.
When you remove the battery in your kaiser is there a small round sticker? This is an indicator whether the device has water damage or not. I believe if it is white then there is no evident water damage if it is red then there is.
I may have found a solution for you
Open sim door then let the device turn off again. Power on the device. Once the device gets to the splash screen go into bootloader mode by holding down the camera button while soft resetting. You can flash the original rom from there.
edit: when your in bootloader mode your sim door can be open....
Thanks! that was very helpful, I never thought to try flashing it because if it turned off in 10 seconds it would ruin the device! The sticker on my device is actually rectangular, and its white (no suprise to me)
I suppose my best bet is just flashing it back to a regular ATT ROM and sending it in for repair.
Hey,
I had gotten to sample the HTC Touch Diamond...and thats all. I got it as a gift from overseas (so its a GSM -simcard- phone). Long story short, I didn't want to buy the phone from the local wireless provider because I'd be stuck with them. I open up the HTC box, turn on the phone, calibrate, take a few pics, and then I decided to put in a simcard. The phone was on at the time and I wanted to make a few phone calls to test out the new phone. I have no idea what happend, but the phone just turned off. I turn it on, and there is no lights, no screen, however the phone did turn on (i felt the vibration, and heard the startup sound). I took out the battery, and put it back in a couple of times and I finally got to turn on the screen and lights, however i recieved a werid message, and it didnt seem that my buttons at the front were working right (they worked fine before when i took pics and listend to the demo music), so I unplugged the battery and put it back in..Since then I have not been able to turn on my screen.
Here is how I know the phone is on, but there are no lights and no screen:
1. the boot up vibration
2. the bootup music
3. the volume up and down
4. I am able to touch the screen to turn up and down the volume.
5. When I put in a simcard, the phone does a ring every min or so (I have no idea as to the cause as i cant see error messages)
Now this is what I did to try to fix it:
1. I tried soft reset , however pressing the reset button does not seem to make the phone restart as i can turn up and turn down the volume no matter how long i press the reset button
2. I tried a hard reset, that doesnt seem to work either. (btw im guessing the confirmation message screen and pressing the volume up key) I think that the reason why steps 1 and 2 are not working, is because the phone does not seem to want to restart!
3. I tried taking out the battery and putting it back in..but i never did it for longer than a minute
4. I tried to update the rom, however the rom update application gives me a "Connection error" even though i have my phone plugged in. If i am supposed to set the connnection up from the inside then nm i cant do it cuz i cant see a thing.
5. I tried charging the phone (through USB and the power outlet)
Does anyone have any idea what happend? how can HTC Touch Diamond go from new to blank screen in about 5 minutes of usage?
plz give me all suggestions u can come up with...plz try to help me. Ive been waitign 2 years for a good phone, and now that I have one, I cant use it. Help me!
remove the sim card and see if it acts normal.
is it already unlocked?
the sim card has been removed, reinserted , and removed again.. yes the phone is already unlocked as the simcard apparently worked ( i made a phone call and the phone rang)
has no one ever come across my problem?
bumping...
Okay i was out in the rain the other day and my Diamond was in my pocket.
Ever since my power button has stopped working. I guess my phone got wet somehow...
Now i always get the " Power will be turned off and you may lose data if you have not saved them. Do you want to continue?"
It just keeps popping up every minute or so it and wont bloody go away.
My power button wont turn the phone off/on or even lock my phone. So I'm guessing it's dead.
I'm guessing there is a part in the phone I can replace to fix this. Can one of you gurus point me in the right direction on which part I would need to buy?
I'm from the UK..
Thank you in advance.
Little bit of an update. My battery died last night. So I put it on charge when I woke up.
I obviously had to use the power button to turn it on. And for some strange reason it worked!
But It wont allow me to lock my phone when it's turned on. And i also get the same issue with the message popping up as I posted above. Could anyone help
anybody know what part i would need to fix this?
ok Im sorry if this has been posted i have searched for over an hour looking for my problem.
I have a tilt and today it has just started to do this, when ever i go to shut it down it asks if i do and i hit yes but 2 SEC after it turns back on. It also does the same when i remove the battery and put it back it will turn on without touching anything. also when i have it on and open the sim door it will turn of but then turn on with the sim door open.
please help.
thanks
just did a hard reset, it did not help still doing it.
plaese anyone. i cant stand having to keep the batt out when i need the phone off.
has any one had this happen
My sister's Captivate is unrooted, and completely stock. This morning, all of a sudden it won't work. When you turn it on, it boots until the screen with the "S" on it, then you can't get past that. Eventually the screen turns off, but if you touch the capacitive buttons, they light up. Nothing else works. The only way to turn it off is to take the battery out and then you turn it on and the process starts all over again. Does anyone know what the problem might be or how to fix it?

Can you get into download mode, and is it under warranty?
what's download mode? and how long is the warranty? If it's a year, then yes. She got it in January.
If you have a local warranty center, take it in. If you cant get into the phone, they cant tell if its rooted.
