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?

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.

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
Hi there!
Lately i got into this problem:my tytn intermittently recognizes my sim.In fact i tried several times to soft reset but got the same problem.The sim is not detected by my pda,tytn ii.
What should i go for?I looked up for some similar posts in this forum.I tried with the detailed solutions but nothing.I tried to put some layers of adesive tape but i can't get it working.I also cleaned the sim and the location where the sim is placed.No way.And yes i forgot to say that i used the same sim with other phones and work perfectly.What should i do?My pda is out of warranty so i'd rather find a more economic solution thanks.Ciao!
Anyone? Please need help!!!!
I tried reflashing another ROM but i still get the same problem.I remember that before it completely stopped working i could send an sms and then after a few seconds the connection automatically deactivated and when i tried to put it back on the commanager menu i got the message "no sim".
So i wondered if that was due to some software problems.That's why i tried to flash a new ROM.But nothing.Got the same error.What's that?How can i fix it?Pleaaaaseee
hello
If putting some layers on the sim card holder doesn't work, most likely there is a problem with flex cable that connecting sim card holder.
So, I guess the only (but not so economic) solution is you have to fix the flex cable.
I also had this issue few months ago, my kaiser was unable to read any sim card. After fixing the flex cable, my kaiser back in action
well, I spent 700.000 IDR to fix it, but I think its worth.
Hi.First of all thanks for your reply.Anyway i looked on google and i found that the 700.000 you spent to fix the pda are around 0.0777 US DOLLARS.is that possible?Isn't that really CHEAP?Is that around the real price you spent in Indonesia?thank you very much.Ciao!
oh, sorry,, in my country we use . to separate 1 and 0 in one thousand (1.000) its not a sign for decimals.
So it is 700000 IDR, around 77 USD hehe..
Hey! ahah yes it seemed really cheap.Incredibly.So yes here in italy maybe around 50-60 euros.I'll take my pda to some expert.See how much it will cost to repair it.Anyone who had the same problem andfixed it in another way?by hisself?Thank you.bye
Hey guys.I took it to the shop.In a few days they tell me what is about.Meanwhile is there anyone who fixed this problem in an alternative way?thanks dudes.Ciao!
I recently purchased Nexus 6 and since it uses nano-sim, I used a sim-card cutter to make my micro-sim a nano sim. Worked fine for a while but then all of a sudden I started getting messages about no sim card. Reboot always fixes the issue, but this happens like 30 times a day, so rebooting the phone that often doesn't seem like a good idea. The phone also freezes all the time, no matter what I do, and then at other times it works like a wonder. I've had a Nexus 6 phone before (this is my 2nd) and it had the same issue. Apparently nothing was wrong with it.
Is the SIM-card causing these freezes, or is this a part of the world-wide issue that has been reported recently in the media? No other phone has had issues with my SIM-card, even though I used the cutter to make it nano. So I doubt it's a faulty sim-card. I've tried LG G4, Xperia z3+ and others and they've not had any issues with the cut sim.
edit
I've noticed the freezing happens most when I've recently charged the phone. Last night I left the phone on charger and when I woke up, the phone had switched itself off.
edit2
I've tried resetting the phone, also hard reset. Didn't help.
A method to check if your cutted sim card is damaged or not is to remove the sim card and replace it with a working sim card of another phone.
