I'm new here. Ive been searching forums but i haven't been able to find what i'm looking for. My G1 got wet and I dried it out. After about a week of it not turning on, It finally came on today. I inserted my Sim card but the phone would not recognize it. I saw some corrosion on the Sim card contacts and cleaned it. But it still wont recognize it. Any possible solutions ? I really want to get into G1 modification software wise but i cant access the phone to try any of the guides. And if i cant get it to recognize the Sim card. Is there a way to remove the Sim card message on the phone ?
Thanks in advance for the advice.

I have also experienced the same problem. Tried different sim cards, hard resetting and even flashing new rom. It just happened all of a sudden so maybe is hardware related unless someone else can provide a remedy or two to try out.
Take a pencil and try cleaning the sim card with the eraser. If that doesn't work, try sliding in a thin piece of paper on the back of the sim card once you've put it in the phone. Sometimes the holder gets loose and the contacts wont mate well. If that doesn't work, try putting in a different sim. If that doesn't work, then I think it'd be safe to say that it's a hardware issue.
I experienced the same thing a few months ago and swapping the sim card worked for me.
I've had the same problem. Just push/bend the metal sim card holder/bracket in a bit, then insert the sim card.
bent it down and stuff, works until I move the phone around a lot... trying a piece of paper now.... gonna flash the factory rom if I can, and take it in.
new sim card isnt working either. looks like I am gonna go get the piece tightened down, cause I have pressed it down a few times.... I'm in Springfield, MO for school (smaller town compared to St.Louis) and they'd never even seen a tilt. great
I've got the same problem. My SIM card works on my wife's Motorola V220, but her's doesn't work in mine.
Tried the piece of paper trick.
I'll try the bending trick too.
i have a problem with my diamond. It only reads my sim card, wont read any other sim card that is inserted. It was originally using XOR morna rom, done a new flash and still same problem. Re-flashed with a original HTC rom, but still same problem. I some how think its not a software problem as it has been flashed/hard-reset numerous times.
Any one know what problem can be or if anyone has same problem, with solution
thanks

Mmmm...
When you say it only reads 'your' SIM card, do you mean it's SIM locked. If you're on vodafone for instance, and you put another vodafone SIM in, does it recognise that? Or do you mean it won't allow any other SIM at all... even if the network's the same?
If it's the first option, your device is obviously SIM locked, if it's the second option, have you installed any security software like Ultimate Theft Alert, or similar, which will also block any other SIMs??
its not sim locked, it was an unbranded phone when i first got it. I am on three and have tried 3 different other three sim cards and also a vodaphone simcard, non of them work.
Its like there is no sim card at all. Im starting to thinbk its a hardware problem not software as i have flashed it few times now with different roms
any ideas, i need to get this working urgently
Mmmm...
Definitely sounds like a hardware issue to me. It's probably time to send it away
Hey Kerm when you put the sim cards does it ask you for for the pin??? or what you could do is see if you can try to clean the sim contact in your phone or run a eraser over the sim card contact and see if there is a difference
had a problem with an unreadable sim-card a few months ago as well; A new sim-card solved my problem... But since you are having trouble with 3 different cards, it might be a hardware problem in your case indeed.
doesnt ask for any pins, as soon as the phone starts up with another sim card inserted, it says no sim card. When it starts up with mu simcard inserted, phone function runs as normal, i can see reception bars etc
I had the same problem when i received my diamond. Tried several sim cards but none was recognized.
I received a new phone because it was a hardware failure.
Sounds like mu has a way of making a new kinda sim lock that only works with there phones ,I would digg a lil deeper and make sure its not a sim lock on your phone
what do you mean by MU, couldnt make it out. How can i find out about if its been sim locked

Is the sim card for Orange as well? Could be a case where the phone requires unlocking.
hi thanks for that yes the sim card is for orange as I have an orange phone already which it works ok in
Is the phone brand new, or second hand. Try blowing into the sim tray incase there is any dust on the contacts. Also give the sim a wipe.
go to your orange shop and ask for a new simcard.
have had the same problem here with my phone: after a few weeks, my simcard wasn't recognised any more. Got a new card, and all works fine again...
this morning i woke up and started up my phone and it said "insert sim card." the previous night i was texting and making phone calls like normal, so when i saw this tonight i was caught off guard. the sim card is in the phone and everything! i swapped the sim card into my old phone and it works fine.
any idea why my tilt wont recognize my sim card?!
thanks for your help guys!
Check ur sim on some other set, than anyone can comment on ur problem
i put it in my old nokia and the sim card worked fine. maybe its just the tilt thats messed up?
yah a hard reset didnt help either
try the sim card from a friend of relativs phone to verify if the phone is broken
ohh yeah i did that! so i suppose my phone is broken then i loved my tilt! this really sucks. but my birthday is coming up next week so ill reward myself with a tilt2
I have this same issue... My sim card is not being read by the Tilt.. I'm at work now, which SUCKS...
I'm going to have to wait until I get home to swap the simcard into another phone and put another simcard into the Tilt to troubleshoot.
anyone have solved this problem... It happened to me today!!! :-(
If I had a nickle for every post like this, I would have a hand full of candy.. YAY! CANDY CANDY CANDY
have you tried wedging some paper in there like everyone else?
I messed up my xperia. I was trying a micro-sim card on to transfer some contacts and it got stuck. I kind of pulled the sim hard and i guess some of the pins that read the sim card bend. I know big mistake but i needed to transfer contacts that moment and i was away from a computer.
Now when i put a sim card it doesnt detected. It says no sim.
I called Sony Ericsson and they want to charge me 187 plus shipping both ways for any repair needed. I think thats too expensive and i was wondering if anybody here knows a reputable place where i could send it to get it fix.
Thanks for any help in advance.
