SIM card not working - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

Hey XDA Devs,
Well every time my dad gets a new phone I get his old one, he got the Xperia S so I got the Xperia T off him, my phone before this was the Arc S and it had one of the larger SIM card holders unlike the Xperia T which requires the smalled one. My dad cut down the SIM to size at about 3PM yesterday and worked fine all day, but I left it on charge over night woke up and the card apparently isn't in my phone... I've tried restarting and taking the sim out but I've had no luck and I need it for school at 8:25
Any help would be amazing as always and nice to have my first post on XDA

Speak to your carrier and get a free sim card that is the correct size.
PS, why would he go for a S after having the T? Why not the Z?

Probably he wanted his son to have the X T.
On topic, sim might have not seated properly or the sim might got damaged. Try seating it again or the last resort would be what Greg suggested.

Hey ty for both your suggestions, and I've got the T i used to have the arc S greg
I will probably ask my dad to get me a sim which is the right size, thank you

FIXED
Well i solved it, the 2nd suggestion saying make sure it's seated properly worked
Just moved it about a little now it's fine

OK, but i do suggest getting a proper card as well. You might as well, it is free and it will be more secure.
PS, I know you now have the T, but my question was why would your dad downgrade from a T to an S? If he wanted a new phone why didnt he go for the Z?

My dad didn't get the S, I got his old phone the T and he sold the S.. His new phone is that water proof sony one? i think it's the X i dont know;P

Help Please! My Sons Tilt is Failing....

Ok.... I have had my Tilt for a year & 1/2... My (then) 14 y/o son became very envious of my phone... We are not a "rich" family and my son saved up for months and finally could afford the phone last year... He bought it 100% on his own, as well as pays his own prepaid AT&T Go minuites for it....
About 6 months after he got it, we got the typical USB problems... We worked around them by syncing via Bluetooth, and buyign spare batteries as well as a stand alone battery charger.. Everything worked great until this week... Tuesday night, it said the Sim was not there... I tried the placing tape on the back of it, and that didn;t seem to help... tried a few other things I read, nothing seemed to help except when we first booted up the phone with it the keyboard slid out... As long as we didnt; close it, it would work (Atleast for TXTing)... But even that was sketchy at best... since then that stopped working completley, and as of lastnight the touchscreen died... Any suggestions at all? Please don't tell me to go search for answers on google... I have already looked.. If there is no hope, please send cash offers if you are intersted in buying it... Thanks in advance for your help....

You can try to tighten all the screws around the sim card slot and make sure that nothing is obstructing the door from locking tight.
Try a hard reset to reset all the software. I would say to try to re-install the rom, but you say the usb port is bad. Other than that, it is warrantied for a year, call the store or HTC and see if there is anything that they can do for you.
I will try that... but I am thinking maybe it is the ribbion that connects the screen to the motherboard seeing as everything on that part id the problem (touch screen, sim card, screen flickering now).. it is defintley out of warranty as well

Well it seems to be normal wear and tear. One thing i seem to notice is that the Zs dont have this problem at least not yet. One observation by a fellow Xda member, cant remember who, saying that the V seems to be just a prototype for the Z seems to be true.

Weird thing is. When I send mine to Bishan Sony, they repaired it in one day. They sent me a notification to collect the next day. However since I'm living in Pasir Ris, going there will take up time so I took it back after 2 weeks when I have my free time.

When a phone has/had 1 bug/malfunction people will do anything to bring that negative point up. You really shouldn't worry about it AT ALL.
Since 434 came out I haven't heard anyone about it. And even @ 350 I barely saw people that faced the problem. Imo it's exaggerated.
It's your choice if you are not sure go try it in a shop first or ask anything you would want to now forehand and we will try to answer it. I haven't heard anyone complaining about sod, only before .350 and some of them.
I think it's a great device. But take into consideration that the screen time is between 4-5h, if you want more you might want to look an Amoled screen. Also it's worth saying that standby battery is Great.

Screen cracked
After SOD now new dangrous problem occure. Internal screen crack. Now any one tell me how many hand sets affected with internal or back
screen problem. And how it occure. As in you tube videos its a hard phone either put in hot chocalate or put in hot 100C water. Or drop it on solid floor. I am going to buy the phone when i heard this problem. Now tell me should i wait to resolve this or this cracjed screen problem is on very limited sets. HELP me and suggest me. I am unbale to decide weather to buy this hand set or not. Because of internal
screen cracked problem. I am very affariad if this problem will occured, i have not much money to repair it. Very hardely to mange the money to buy this phone.
Since the 434 update and now even the 253 update the sod and reboots are fixed never had one Sony addressed the issue quickly and when u get a Xperia z make sure u update the software if it isn't already updated.

Never had a SOD or a freze or something like that. Everything is fine with my C6603. I am running Stock Rom and use to have root on the previous FW-version. never had any problems.
SOD issue is solved long ago, the happen also minimum for this device. Nothing to worried on this, it is not massive issue like happen in Samsung Galaxy S III.
SOD issue had occur in Samsung Galaxy S II, S III, NOTE II, ASUS PadFone 2 also.
As for screen crack, that is user behavior cause, any phone can happen this.

first, be sure to have a pocket large enough for the Z to fit in
second, make sure your movement is not compromised by the Z in the pocket
third, either get a bumper protector(whatever you call it) or leave it as it is(this is what I did)

Please help me and tell me what to do
I'm kinda freaking out right now!
P.S: I was in the pool when that happened and i honestly don't know how water have managed to enter the phone since i made sure all the flaps where closed!

First take out Sim and SD card, if they were in their ports
Second, don't use your phone for about one or two days, at all
Third, place your phone in warm places, like near windows to get sunlight or sth like this
Last, if they did not work, go to Sony Service Center in your city or country
If your ports were open while the water went in, I think you should pay more than the closed ports condition

Sim1 no sim card

Dears,
I have had this phone for over a week now both my sims have been working in it flawlessly, Today it said while I was browsing "sim card inserted refreshing" then it reboot my phone. When it did sim 1 no longer reads the sim inserted in it so I replaced the sim1 and sim2 thinking the sim itself might have gone bad, guess what? Both sim cards work fine in sim 2 tray. Anyone has a solution for this?
See attached screenshot from the settings of the dual sim
I repeat both sim cards are functional it's the sim1 tray that seems to have a problem I hope it's a software issue I'm resetting factory now then updating the forum.
Please help

Do i can't get it replaced again till I get back, I'd appreciate any help or suggestions and yes I did repair phone on pc companion and still sim 1 not working and the phone is over heating more than the usual even without any sim card inserted...

I have the same problem. The Simcard 1 just stopped working. Of course no one would reply because this is a hardware issue, since xda is more focused on development. As for me, I didn't do anything about it and lived with it. I am also sad that I didn't wait for Z5. Sony's refresh cycle is messed up.

I am but anything careful on my devices and still, like you, mine was broken and why only on sim 1 slot? I think is their fault, clearly it is a design flaw.
Did you insert the tray correctly? If not, yes the tray might have damaged and that isn't covered by the warranty.
i have same problem , please u can tell me what do with The warranty and what tell you about the problem?!
