Hi XDA,
I recently re-encountered a problem with my N1, not sure if any body else has, is where the phone doesn't detect your SIM suddenly, giving a "No SIM Card" error, when it was working fine moments agos, after sleeping and waking the phone when i wanted to use it later. Then further reboots only result directly in a no sim error.
Before it happened before reflashing the radio fixed it, but it has suddenly come back today and i've tried everything from 03 -> 06 radios, and CM5.0.6 -> .8 Test5 and still the issue is present, where it no longer detects my SIM.
My SIM works in other phones around the house, and all the other SIMs ive borrowed to test all come up as not detected.
I am in Australia so it would be a PAIN to RMA with HTC, tho i would be in the states for 2 weeks soon so maybe if it is eligible for warranty im not sure.
Has anyone encountered these problems and what were your solutions?

Okey so ive had my diamond for 3 weeks and have had this issue. The device worked fine for 2 weeks except for this problem that it keeps dropping the connection and just says "no service" but when i disable and re-enable the phone radio i get full signal. However one time the device froze and i had to soft reset. After which it said the "sim card is missing, you can make emergency calls if your service provider supports it" when the sim card was in the phone. I tried resets and cleaning the sim all to no avail. So after not being able to find anyone else with this problem i figured it must be my old 2g sim that had been causing the problems so i went and purchased a new 3g sim from my service provider (mobilezone [switzerland]) and inserted it into the device. Everything starts working again and i figure the problem is fixed. However the phone continues to drop the signal again and again over the next few days and finally kills the sim card again, and displays the same "sim missing..." error. So i have now taken it back to the retailer and they say there seems to be no issue with the device as the technichen inserts a new sim and everything works fine. The thing is that the sim cards are completely broken. They no longer work in any device!!! But it took 2 weeks the first time and 3 days the second, so the technicians agreed to test the device for a couple days, im just sure its gna work fine for that amount of time but screw up again after when i use it again. Can anyone provide any insight into this? I speculate that its perhaps an issue with my service provider since they do not have their own network but use orange (switzerland) with their custom network settings, and when configuring the device the WM6 connection wizard only has 3 options and my provider is not listed, so i use the orange config settings, which i thought may be slightly different and cause problems. Ideas?!?!?
Thanks in advance.

If it helps, I had to have a new sim to use it in my new phone (not the diamond, a nokia) because it didn't work properly, as it was a relatively old sim.
Hi did you ever get your sim problem sorted, have been experiencing same,
except my sim still work on other phones?
Hi everyone... I bought a week ago a brand new Sony Xperia.
It was Vodafone braned but supposingly unlocked.
As I inserted my 3 UK sim-card for the first time the phone could not detect any simcard. After a few soft resets I decided to try with a Voafone card and it worked no problem, so I decided to try again my 3 sim-card and with joy this time everything worked to perfection.
After just a couple of days, all of a sudden the phone started losing the network and giving me a "sim card missing error"... this would happen every time I would activate the flight mode, or simply when the phone would lose signal for some reason... or even just randomly, for no reason. I've tried to flash different radios and different ROMs but the problem stays the same.
I know the sim card is ok as I was using it on an orange HTC touch diamond which I had unlocked and everything was working fine.
I have run the ATCommander and it says SIMLOCK=00 0 which I suppose it means the phone is unlocked...
It's as if the phone was randomly locking itself several times a day for no reason... and the only way to make it work is to soft-reset it about 10-15 times in a row... until it recognizes the sim card and then randomly stops working again a few hours later...
What can I do? Shall I just change operator? Has anyone experienced anything like this? Could 3UK and sony Xperia be incompatible?
Please help, I am desperate!!
sim card missing/no service
bro, i've had EXACTlY the same problem!!!
its due to simcard scratching by xperia housing design!
replaced my card and it worx a charm now, haven't had to double softreset yet, and before - it took 10-15 times before it got recognized- TRUST me - its the card, replace it - its free and should solve them pesky no service messages for u
I got a new SIM card 4 days ago because my old sim card was giving me problems. It was working better, but would still occasionally disconnect from the network.
Ever since yesterday, I've had "no service". I've tried connecting to AT&T through "network operators", but it just takes forever and says "your sim does not allow a connection to this network". It does pick up AT&T though. My APN settings are fine.
I've wiped and reflashed superd 1.9.3. I've wiped and now I'm on fasttest 3.0. Rebooted a million times, still can't connect to AT&T.
I've put my sim card in another phone, and it works. So its definitely my G1.
Could this be a hardware issue? Did my internal antenna come loose? Please help me out here, you people with G1's on AT&T.
same thing happened to me.. i tried EVERYTHING and nothing would make it connect... i finally called htc and thank god i hadnt put any roms on yet b/c it was still under warranty... they said they replaced my mainboard and antenna wire was broken... should have it back in a day or two i can let u know how it goes... im also using mine on at and t.
I am working on a friend's HD7 locked to US TMO running stock US TMO Phone 7 ROM. A few days ago it suddenly started getting "Invalid SIM message". It is out of warranty coverage.
Swapping out for a known good TMO SIM it still gets the Invalid SIM message and his SIM works fine in another device so it doesn't appear to be SIM related.
I performed a hard reset on the device but it still gets Invalid SIM so it doesn't appear to be software related.
Suspecting hardware, I did a lot of searching of xda-developers and google for possible solutions.
I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127798 so per that thread I took the device apart and cleaned then reseated the SIM slot connection to the main board. It still gives Invalid SIM error.
I found references elsewhere that it might be due to the SIM being somewhat loose in the SIM slot so I shimmed it with a piece of paper, yet I still get Invalid SIM.
I'm not sure what direction to go from here. Has anyone ran into this and been able to fix it successfully?
A couple hours after posting the above, I noticed that the error message was gone and the device was connected successfully to the TMO network. I have no clue why. Hopefully the issue doesn't happen again.
This exact same issue happened with my T-Mo HD7 too.
I'm in Australia, and bought the phone off eBay brand new with an unlock code. I used to be with three (a dodgy network provider), and got a couple of new sims, with no avail. With a reboot though, the message would be gone.
Since then, I have changed network providers and reset the phone a couple of times, to find that I no longer have the issue at all (knock on wood).
Hope your problem is solved.

It seems to be. My friend hasn't had the error message since. Still, I wish I had a better grip on what caused it and what fixed it - makes me worry that it will happen again.
Hi chaps, I have tried searching across the internet with no luck, here's the deal.
I bought this p1000 galaxy tab some days ago from a guy on a forum. tried it thoroughly before paying, inserted my phone SIM, got a phone call, sms, 3G internet, wifi, all working flawless. I used it for some days wi-fi only waiting for my new tablet SIM to be ready.
Monday, I receive the SIM but it still had to be activated. I just kept it in the tablet waiting for it to be OK. Zero problems, just the usual "no service" message like you would expect from a sim that's yet to activate
This morning I finally get the SIM activated, but as soon as I try sending a text or something, the tablet just shuts down. After that, no way trying to boot it up again: it reaches the Samsung logo, then bye bye. If you remove the SIM from the tray it magically comes back to life.
I already tried the usual stuff, like hard resetting and like, cleaning the SIM or something. I also tried with another carrier sim and I get the same behavior. I'm starting to believe that there is some hardware fault with the SIM reader, but I thought I'd try to get some hints from here before calling Sammy's assistance. Also the weirdest part is that it worked some days ago!
If anyone has any idea/experience to share, I'd love to hear from you mates. thanks in advance!
(oh and btw I know how to hit a thanks button)
I'll update the post with further intel, maybe it will help someone down the road.
The tablet does not like freshly activated SIMs. I know it sounds crazy but that's where we are at. We have tried like 4 different SIM cards from different operators, all work flawlessly; The SIM card of the above NOW works flawlessly as well, it just needed a couple days to settle down. I have no idea if this is a software bug, a hardware fault or some strange network settings from my carrier, but the problem seems to be solved for now. Luckily i didn't send it in for repairs!
