Like the title said,
Is there a way to change the simcard without turning off kaiser.
Is it wisely to do it while kaiser is on etc.
Thnx in advance for answers
Every time I pull my SIM card with out powering down the Kaiser just shuts down anyway.
I don't think so, I have accidentaly pull out the sim card with the kaiser on and it automatically shuts off, and worse when turn on with the new sim the radio doesn´t turn on.
I have to turn it off, insert the previuos sim, turn it on, then turn it off and only then replace the sim card.
wise to do so with phone on, don´t think so.
Impossible. Change the SIM card with power on may cause damage of the SIM card, hence HTC added a device on the sim card door. Once the door is open, power will be shut down. It is controled by hardware.
not a suggestion
i am not saying that you should try this, because it is likely that what wg5566 said was correct, but overriding the sim lock mechanism, so that it doesn't see the sim door as open would allow you to pull the card out. however, changing circuitry on powered boards is a bad idea. As we say in my line of work, "don't let the blue smoke out"
Now i'am wondering why there are phones which you can insert and remove the sim as an memory card. Aren't these Iphones and i thought Motorola???

Hi,
Does anyone know of an application which can be used to toggle power (i.e. activate & deactivate) to the phone without 'tapping' on the phone Icon ?
Alternatively, does anyone know how to do it ? - extended Tapi commands ?
Thanks.
I dont know of any application - but you can turn the phone on and off by holding down the "hang up" hardware button to the right of the d-pad at the bottom of the screen for a few seconds.
Actually, this doesn't seem to completely turn off the *whole* radio I don't believe. It may turn off the RF portion, but it doesn't do everthing.
In the early versions of the T-Mobile PPCPE on the USA network, my device (and others) would frequently give up making and receiving calls etc. Turning the radio off/on or doing a soft reset sometimes helped, but interestingly opening the SIM door would always do the business. It appears that opening the SIM door powers down even more of the radio side of the phone, and (obviously) makes it do more afterward like re-reading the SIM etc.
Anyway...just thought I'd throw that observation out there ...
cheers,

Hi, I have had numerous problems with my AT&T Tilt that I have always been able to have fixed here. This time I must say it is the strangest. Whenever I turn my phone on it goes through the normal boot up. The ATT page comes up and then the 3G bars up come on. Next, the green windows 6.1 screen comes on. Then the phone flashes my personal information with the top portion saying that there is no service to be found. The battery meter reads full before the phone automatically shuts off. When I try to turn the phone back on after that it turns on in the boot loader mode with the multi color screen.
The screen reads:
KAIS1*0
SPL-3.56.0000
CPLD-8
with serial at the bottom of the screen, or USB if plugged into my computer.
Update!
When I turned my phone on without the sim card in it, the phone fully booted up and stayed on!
Have been unable to get it to boot up now with the sim card in since it turns on with the multi color boot loader screen about half of the time. Will post what happens when I get the phone to turn on!
What if you use another sim?
For troubleshooting purposes, I woudl reccomend trying to boot it up with a diffrent SIM in there... Sims CAN "go"... I had one go on me once and my phone would jsut lock up during booting (on my old Motorola MPX200 WM2003se)... Went to my carrier, and seeing as my sim was a few years old they upgraded me to a newer sim for free... Hope that is all your problem is

I am having the same problem, but I think I caused it. I had an older mobile pohone with a Cingular SIM card still in it. I swapped the SIM cards because I wanted to use the old phone, but did not want to lose the old card (I really don't know why...). Anyhow, now my Tilt will not recognize the new card when I stick it back in?!
I did search Google, and found this: http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=cingular&message.id=106311
Tilt SIM problem
if it will recognize one SIM but not the other then it is most likely the Sim that is bad. try cleaning the gold contacts on the sim with a pencil eraser to take off any stains or dirt stuck to it.
I really don't how how this problem has cropped up. Have had my TyTN II for the past 6 months and suddenly today afternoon it was off when I tried to use it. While turning on, it went upto the Green Windows Mobile 6.1 screen and then it simply turns off. What is the problem? Have tried a hard reset and still have the same problem.
Have you tried re-flashing your phone, with the original manufacturers rom.
enter bootloader by holding the camera button and pressing soft-reset.
then try connecting via USB and running your manufacturers rom update.
this will wipe all your data, but chances are, if you have already hard-reset then you will have lost all data.
I had made no changes to the ROM. It had the stock HTC Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM included.
try taking out the sim and sd card, then hard reset.
OK, it boots up without the SIM Card but not with the SIM card. Tried another SIM card but same problem. What could be the problem? My SIM card is working fine on other phones!

Is the sim card door locked and closed properly? There's a little microswitch that shuts down the device if it senses the door isn't locked it's possible for this to not be correctly aligned with the lock pin (ie not in the groove). Turn it off and take a good look at the mechanism and you'll see what I mean.
Additionally, you mention you'd tried a hard reset - did you try this with the sim and memory card out from within WM? Did the process complete properly?
I tried booting with 2 other sim cards and with them it says that there is no sim inserted. With my original SIM, it simply shuts off at the green windows mobile screen.
@Flying Kiwi, Yes, the SIM door is closed properly with that little notch extended to the right. The hard reset was done not from with WM but by the method given in the manual i.e keeping the 2 soft keys pressed and hitting the reset pin. This was done at the Smart Mobility screen with SIM and Memory Card inserted. The process did complete properly but while booting it shut off. So I removed the SIM and this time it went all the way to the screen alignment page and customizing stage. Now, it does not work with any SIM card but boots up fine without SIM.
I'm completely at a loss.
It could be a bad sim holder (surely there is a better word) or something like that. I would suggest playing around with it by opening the keyboard and then applying pressure on the door while it boots.

It was a long shot because with my TyTN II if I try that (with the WM 6.0 ROM) it gets all the way into WM and pops up a message about the sim door saying it'll shut down in 10 s - making it very clear - I've never tried it under WM 6.1 though.
Now, it does not work with any SIM card but boots up fine without SIM.

Could still be some sort of ROM corruption so what I'd like you to try is to remove BOTH the sim and memory card and boot into WM then perform a hard reset from within WM (settings -> System tab -> Clear Storage) and see if that runs right through to the end - then power off normally by holding down the power button and tapping yes. Then put in just the sim (that used to work fine with this phone) and start up again. Let us know how that goes Also have a look for any dirt/contamination in the sim slot as best as you can see, and on the sim itself.
Hello.
Yesterday I put an iphone sim card slider into my Xperia Z by mistake. The slider stuck into my Xperia Z's sim card slot. I pulled it hard to remove from my sim card slot and it came out with a few pieces of yellow(golden) chords.
So, my phone didn't recognize my simcard, that's what it supposed to be, I was ok to have it replaced.
Last night, as a result of my foolishness, i tried to fix the slot by forcing the xperia z's simcard slider into the simcard slot.. supposedly, phone restarted itself each time i insert and removed the simcard.
After the last attempt, phone turned itself off, and i went to outside for a walking.. i came back to home and i had seen my phone was not working, just like:
-HARD RESET NOT WORKING (VOLUME UP+POWER)
-30 MINUTES OF CHARGING HAD NO EFFECT. (I DIDN'T WANT TO OVERCHARGE.)
and:
-WHILE CHARGING, THE RED LED LIGHT BLINKS IN EVERY 5 SECONDS, which is the only sign of life of my Z.
R.I.P Xperia Z
Problem Solved
Alright, a friend of mine disassembled the phone completly, removed the mainboard and removed the sim slot from it; inserted the mainboard back, re-assembled the phone and it works like a swiss watch now i don't know how he could have my phone working again i was watching all the progress but didn't get anything.. he said it's a short circuit..
Now I'm using my phone without a simcard cos the simcard slot have been removed but we ordered a new xperia z simcart slot.
thanks for your non-attention
those yellowish cords were touching together and were making a short-circuit. you can easily test what short-circuit is
with a battery and 2 cables and put them together. you were lucky nothing got fried and phone isnt damaged
I recently switched out the front panel of the phone after my screen cracked.

When I put everything back together, it would not detect the sim card. Also the eject button didn't work for the sim.
I took the back cover off again and reinserted the sim card and it worked.
I put the back cover back on and it won't detect the sim again. I pull it out and reinsert it and it still won't detect it. I notice when I pull out the card, a message pops up saying Sim card not detected. When I plug the card back in, the message goes away. So it seems like it is detecting a sim card, but it's just not recognizing it.
I notice there is metal pin with a contact point to the back cover. When I removed the back cover, I noticed that was bent. I tried to rebend it back into place. Would that possibly have an effect on the sim?
Nevermind, it looks like it was due to a loose connector that came looser after the back cover was placed on.
