[Q] Strange SIM problem need of help - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

So i tryied reading the forum but i really did not see anything like it so I will ask my question.
My Tytn is in great shape(normaly) without SIM and jut to be shure i took the memory card out to. But soon as I insert the SIM the display just stucks. Can't use any buttons, can't use touch display, it just stays like that with dimed display.
And yes I did try my SIM card with two other phones and guess what- no problem there. It seems to appear only on my Tytn.
So please, if someone has any ideas please share, so i woud be able to use my freaky phone!
Thank you

I think you have problems SIM Issue door ...! you'd better release the SIM card first then try a soft reset your device ....
after the soft reset you can replace the SIM card and the device operates properly

I did soft restart I even reinstalled the rom but still...
Shud i go to my provider and ask for a new SIM or i some kind of mechanical problem with the door?

switch off when simcard inserted

hi guys,
i got TYTN II brand new whenever simcard inserted, phone start up then switch off itself.
without simcard start up ok, go all the way to the main screen.
is this to do with the Radio rom?? i flash with the original rom still no luck.
have anyone here experience this
thanks
Sounds like the SIM card isn't inserted well or the contacts are dirty (or could be the SIM card). Try cleaning the contacts on the SIM and device first and make sure the door is securely shut.
I think you have this confused. When you switch it up it turns off the phone so you can turn it on and the phone recognized the sim, if it would stay on when you put the sim, it wouldn't recognize the sim, so put it in then keep it in and turn it on and it should have recognized the sim. If you know that already, then do what Jwy said, I recommend rubbing alcohol and 100% cotton.
my device is working ok, but everytime i just unlock the sim card slot (without touching the card itself, my device shuts down, no matter which rom or radio rom.
It's no problem for me because i've just got one single sim card, but if i would have two different sim's....
Is this the standard behaviour ? I think it's strange, just curious about that...
that is normal , there is a little switch behind it that turns your device off .
some kind of protection.
Right, most phones have the sim under the battery so you must pull the battery to insert the sim. The Kaiser cuts the power with a switch on the sim door to protect the sim from a "hot" insertion and possible damage when changing sims.

Another TYTN II i have is working fine with this simcard.

No man, no confusion here, i know how its works
you didn't read my msg propely,
" switch off when simcard in the phone" if i take to simcard out, the phone boot up fine, ok
i switch it off then put simcard in (clip the simcard's door) then turn the phone on, just say HTC logo then switch itself off
ADD:
i mention that i got 2 TYTNII ok.
i swap the motherboard between eachother, still the same.
so i think either RADIO ROM or HARDWARE !!
so i want opinion here, whether its the HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE???
thanks
Ah, ok. You don't have to get mad . It could be software. I have seen this happen to people. Try a different rom & radio.

Please help, put in Sim card, shows 'no service'

Hi
I just got on at&T 8925, I put in sim card and it did not ask for unlock code, so I guess it is unlocked, I put in my sim card (Fido Canada,works in other phone) and it show "no service" can not find phone network signal.
I tried
ATT ROM 1.57.502.2 and
RUU_Kaiser_ROGERS_WWE_1.83.631.4_radio_sign_22.51.88.13_1.27.15.32R_Test.exe
radio 1.27.12.11 and 1.27.15.32
all same problem.
Can anyone help me, are these rom combinations not good? or something wrong with the device?
or anything I need to do?
thank you for your help !
Try another known-good SIM card. If you still cannot get service, then you probably have a hardware issue with the phone.
Sounds stupid, but did you make sure you put the SIM in the right way around.
You wouldn't believe how many people have not done this right.
Sounds like it's not unlocked... when I got mine it wasn't unlocked but it only asked for a code once.... just run the unlocker to be sure...
maybe to hard reset?
Hi thanks for everyone's help.
I think I put the sim card the right way , otherwise it will show 'no sim card'
I am keep trying other rom/radio; still no luck, it either keep searching or say 'no service'
I really hope it is not hardware problem.
hope if anyone has the experience and could help me
it really confuse me.
Thanks

welll this might be a little solution i read in another thread...sum times the phone will not read the sim becuz its not making enough contact to the phone...so maybe a little piece of paper on top of the sim then put it in the phone MIGHT help..if it doesnt then ur phone is jacked up =P
or
when i put my tmobile sim in my unlocked 8925 it worked and then a couple our couldnt get n e service... and i checked my brothers phone and dad and they didnt have service too... so maybe sumtimes the network will nto work for a while. or sumthing
If you go in the phone options and do a manual network search, does it find anything?
Thanks brian_v3ntura:
but I tried paper, same thing, maybe not be contact problem.
Thanks kilrah:
I tried that, it shows " cannot read setting from network, try viewing setting later or disconnect data connection and try again."
I did saw something online that maybe because the Fido sim card maybe old (about 3 years), but it did work with sth. like Samsung blackjack II. maybe Kaiser is more complicated.
just wonding if anyone have experience that old sim card may have problem with new phones.
I will keeping trying...
My SIM card is about 4 years old.
I'd bet your Kaiser has a hardware problem.
Hi, guys
I tried a friend's Fido sim card, it works, I don't what's the difference, but it is just like that, maybe I should go get a new card.
Thanks everyone.
good
as one of the boys ur sim might be damaged/old (power failure issues most likely)

yeah, just what confused me is that the sim card still work with my other phones.
Hey guys,
Long time lurker here... and I'm having the same problem.
I have a foreign (Cyprus CytaMobile Vodaphone) SIM in my Kaiser. A couple times over the last few days I was getting the "no service" but if I reset (turn on/off) the device it was fine. Today I cannot get service on it at all. I tried it in an unlocked 1G iPhone and it didn't seem to work either.
I thought maybe the SIM is dead, however when the device it's in starts up, it asks me for the PIN set on the SIM card. I enter the PIN, and it unlocks the SIM. How could the SIM be dead if the PIN authenticates? However, when I put my regular Canadian Rogers SIM in, it works fine.
Where it usually says "Searching.." on the home screen, I once got "Denied, searching.." but I haven't been able to reproduce it.
Any ideas? The provider doesn't have a local roaming agreement, however for the past year it has always registered on the network and allowed me to check balance and send text messages.
Is it most likely a dead SIM or blocked by Rogers? I'm doubting the blocked part, but the successful PIN entry is what has me baffled...
Thanks!
Chris
Ok different SIM card also from Cyprus Cytamobile in a SE w810 does the same thing. Is Rogers seriously all of a sudden blocking these? There is no local roaming agreement, however I would always get the Rogers welcome text's and even be able to check balances. I've been doing this off and on for 4 years...
Anyone ever heard of something like this?
Thanks,
Chris
P.S. Sorry, getting a bit off topic but I thought the initial problem was related!
EDIT: Ok, I can also see all the SIM contacts and SMS messages stored on the SIM.

I also have the same problem with my tytn, I have a bad feeling it is hardware If you manage to find the problem please let me know. I have tried the paper thing and also all new firmware and OS nothing helps
Try setting it to GSM only (disable 3G) and see what happens.
To do that go to Settings->Personal->Phone->Band->Network Type=GSM.
If it works then, you might want to read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=419803

No Service- HELP!!!

I bought new TyTN II, and when I insert my sim card, he doesn't recognize it, in the top of the screen is text NO SERVICE. In the start/settings/connesctions/connection setup, there is no my country to select, or my operater. Does the new cooked ROM may solve my problem? Please help...

Does it say no sim card, or just no service. If it doesn't recognize the sim card. then it is probably sim locked. If it recognizes the sim card, but just offers no service, it could just be your connection settings.

Hello,
I didn't want to start a new thread, because this one is somehow connected with my problem
So here it is:
I've been using my phone for about a month, it used to show full network ect. My friend gave me an anthenna for gsm mobiles (well, sometimes it didnt work properly when I was in the basement i.e.) so i tried it. Worked perfectly, except it was sticking out. So i thought that I don't want to use it and disconected it. Since then it shows no service, sometimes "1 dot" in network display. Tried hard reset - didn't work. When i put the anthenna back, it shows full network again.
Please, tell me, what should I try.
Thank you in advance
I seem to recall reading somewhere here that once you put in an external antenna, something gets tripped and the phone will only work with an external antenna from that point on.
Sorry -- don't recall any details. Try searching.

[Q] No network issue LG Optimus 4x HD

Hi guys,
I have a LG Optimus 4x HD with stock rom (Jelly bean). About three weeks ago, I suddenly lost my network connection and it looked like my phone didn't recognize my SIM card. I put my battery and my Sim out and in my phone, but that didn't help. I tried many SIM cards and they work excellent on my other phone. When I turn my device on It just boots up and doesn't ask for my pin code at all. I see no difference when my SIM card is in or out my device. However, it does recognize my SD card, so I think there is a problem with the software? On the lock screen I just see the message ''no service'' and at the top I see this (first pic). When I try to dial someone it says ''reorganization of internal processes. Try it later.''. I read on a forum that I had to go to ''mobile networks'' in settings, but that isn't possible (pic 2).I also tried to put some paper between my sim card and my sim card slot but that didn't work either. Does someone have this problem too or is there somebody who can help me to solve this problem? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

I discovered that my phone doesn't have an IMEI and IMEI SV code anymore. It also doesn't have an baseband version. Do you guys know this caused the lost of my network connection and does anyone know how I can recover my IMEI number? Finally I managed to enter the mobile networks in settings by do a long tap on the data icon in the notification center. I hope someone can help me.
I have the same problem as you. With every restart the phone is unable to read the sim card. Also the baseband is shown as unknown, and I don't have imei no. The solution for me is to remove the battery, and put the phone in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.(yes in the refrigerator The phone is getting very hot when is searching for network and to have it really cool helps apparently. Try it yourself to see if it does the job for you and let us know.

Thanks for your reply! This morning, my phone finally asked for the first time for the sim password and I finally got a signal. I got my IMEI and my baseband number back. Unfortunately, after an hour or so I tried to send a sms and I wasn't able to send it. I got the error no USIM or so. The IMEI and Baseband number disappeared agian. I turned flightmode on and of and I didn't get a signal again... New today was that I am now unable to connect to multiple wifi networks too. Now my WI-FI MAC-adress is 00:00:00:00:00:00. I already lost the phone and I now also lost the smart part of my smartphone... I also tried to put my phone in the refrigerator but sadly it didn't help. I think I have to buy a new phone....

Sorry to say that "It's time to say goodbye"
I got same problem with you and try all kind of possibility. Here is final verdicts:
- Some phone repairers I know said It's the encrypted baseband partition is damaged, unless you have backup of that, it's a no-go
- I've tried to reflash the phone and it will stuck at 10%, you have to push really hard at some point at the back to make is flashable. After that, the signal back on with baseband and IMEI.... but only for a few restarts it will be gone
Hi blbterminator,
I already said goodbye to my p880 (has been replaced for the G3), but thanks for your reply. Now it's clear for me that's it's a hardware issue.
Maybe do you know if this problem only affects the lg p880 or other brands or models too?
Many thanks!

No sim card, comes and goes..

My devices sometimes cannot read the sim card, and some times it can. No matter what sim I use, what ROM I use, and I've even tried another sim card reader, but the problem seem to be something else.
Anyone experienced this?
I've been looking for a way to emulate a sim card, like a soft sim solution, but it seem this is not easy..
Maybe it's time to let the old m7 retire...
Anyway, thanks to all contributors in this community, it's been awesome. Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Maybe the sim card isn't making a good contact when inserted in the tray, A few ppl got a similar issue and used paper to shim the sim card (not recommended since your sim tray can get stuck). I would try another sim first...

Yes, that's a common issue. The first steps was to use a little tape on the sim, second step was to try another sim, third step was to open the device and take out the sim reader, clean it with ethanol, check every pin and so on, then I tried another sim reader, but the problem still remains.
I too have the same problem, of signal on and off. I think the device detected the SIM card as it asked for PIN to unlock. I tried the *#*#4636#*#* to choose WCDMA only / preferred, but still same problem. So, did you retire the beautiful phone of yours?

Since not even replacing the sim reader solved the problem, it can no longer be used as a phone.
And anyway, the battery is getting seriously old, so when my dogs destroyed my remote control, the good old HTC one m7 now have a new life, filled with joy and happiness.
Anymote app is nice, and m7 are now a media control hub in my living room.
Since April 29 2013 this device have improved my life quality, with the good help from this great community on XDA.
