[Q] My cellphone losts the connection to the SIM-card sometimes? - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. I'm just using GoLauncher as 'theme', and sometimes just my simcard 'restarts'
Anyway, don't think it's the phone that dies. Can somebody help me? Say something that can work. I've read something about a little piece of paper but, it was to large, and couldn't insert my simcard.
And when I speak to people, it could happend, just dies. WHY? Are my phone corrupted? ;p
And, is there somebody, maybe swedish, don't give a rats-ass, but, need some help with root, and get another 'theme' etc, that would be helpfull.

Have you tried cleaning the SIM card connections? And custom cut the paper to be slightly smaller than sim card and insert it at the some time as you do the sim card.
I don't get your point about the Swedish...

Umm.. Maybe you could try re-flashing your ROM after initiating a full wipe

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

How to remove PIN on my Kaiser

Hi all,
I've just Recieved a second hand Kaiser. I can use it w/o any issue but the PIN and PIN2 are not default ones, I have no idea what they are. (thank god the "Require PIN when phone is used" option is not selected)
now there is only one attempt remaining and I feel that if I got it wrong, sth horrible will happen(permanent lock or sth else?). I know that if I dont touch the PIN settings, nothing will happen, but I can't make sure that my friends won't, accidently. Simply flash a new ROM or hardrest doesn't help removing the PIN~
Could someone tell me how to remove the old PIN plz? help!!!! Thanks a lot.
Try a reflash of the ROM; i've heard of this on the ATT forums and if i recall correctly, a reflash fixed things.

PIN relates to a SIM card NOT the phone or ROM. If you enter wrong PIN code 3 times in a row, the SIM card will be burned out.
Only the service provider (aka carrier) can give you the PIN. In case you don't know the old PIN, they will give you PIN2 to reset.
Another easy method: ask your carrier replace the SIM card then they will give you the PIN and of course, you can change it to your desired number.
@Kareem
Thanks for your kind suggestion but I've tried reflash ROMs and I think that doesn't help.
@Nghiem
Ok, that explains everything. I'm just too worried that my phone may get locked. I think now I can stop worrying, can't I?

I'm currently using the O2 PaynGo with free text bolt ons. Do I still get the free texts after replacing with a 3G sim?

If you log into your AT&T account, they offer support tutorials for your particular devices, one of which refers to sim/puk unlock. check it out.

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.

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?

you can just try to flash another modem if that didn't fix it , i think its problem with your tab or the simcard , did you try another simcard to check whether the problem with it or with the tab ?

how in earth you removed Call app ?
did you put it back or no ? ?
if not tell me which rom you are in and i'll upload the app for you ( gingerbread ) or froyo ?
and you can check my above answer to see if that help you guys or no
no sim card or does´nt read sim card
should anyone find that they have a problem with sim card (not reading) i would strongly advise that you seriously consider that it may well be the conexion in the tab.
it was driving me crazy, but i was determined, and eventually chose to desmantel the device. where i was able to see the false conexion in the sim card holder. i tried to straighten it and it broke off, the next step would be to change the sim card hold which requires soldering (in a fairly delicate place) and i havent got a clue.at the moment i have put a bit of tin foil on the sim card (bridging) so that it connects and it is doing just fine. this post is especially for those who are certain that they have unlocked the carrier network so that they are able to rule out that cause. (sorry about the grammar).
The following post from another forum may be of interest to you in how to reinstall the call app you speak of. The poster is talking about loss of gmail application but it may apply to your situation:
Okay so after I posted this, I talked to one of my software developer friends who is also and Android freak. He told me that any application that linked to google is probably causing the problem. The only application that fit that description was Talk and talk Provider. I extracted the Talk and Talk Provider files from my .zip file, and put them in the "download" folder on the Vibrant's internal memory (NOT THE MICRO SD CARD!). Then I used the Vibrant to access this website: http://www.lysesoft.com/products/andexplorer/index.html and downloaded the "AndExplorer" file manager from the website, NOT the Android Market (remember, my android market was not working). I used AndExplorer File Manager to open and install Talk.apk and TalkProvider.apk. I also reinstalled Swype.apk. Rebooted the phone and VIOLA! Problem fixed.
