Guys I dropped my phone in water and after 5 days of rice sitting , everything is working except one thing
Phone not detecting SIM card anymore (NO Sim card ) although when i remove the tray it says Sim card remove , i tried 2 SIMs no luck , it was working fine before the water drop , any help ?
NB: Factory Reset + cache wipe , did not help
Water is still there, phone will start dying sooner or later. Should be disassembled and proper maintenance should be done.

Just out of curiosity, what is the best way to try a device?

Hi, after I installed a custom rom in my Incredible S , I was getting stucked at the boot screen. Then I followed this site instructions.
myhtcdesire.com/modding/how-to-install-a-custom-rom-on-your-htc-desire
But after applied the wipe data/factory reset, I think I just locked my 'factory unlocked' phone WTF?
'Cause now, I have (No service) at the bottom. I can't sms... nothing.
Does "wiping data/factory reset" locked my sim card?
Please help me, I'm freaking out right now
Problem resolved
forgot to put the back cover -_-'
LOL that's funny, but people do forget that the back is used for our antenna .

Yeah true. It has something to do with the gold connectors at the bottom and beside the camera.

it is funny, I was trying to cut the SIM card to Micro SIM card to play with iPhone using my SIM card. After I put back the cut SIM card to an adapter back to the SIM slot, put back battery (without putting back the back cover because I didn't want to close it too often to possibly damage the back up cover), it kept getting no service warnings... After half hour struggling to play with the SIM card out of frustration, I decided to go to a Bell store to get a new SIM card, so I closed the back cover, and immediately, the signal and service is back.
Just got a new phone, going to use Sgs as dev/ backup phone
on three network, sun card used to work but now I get no service, I can't add a Apn manually? Anyone got any ideas? Can sim card get tied to imei number?
Update.
Spoke to THREE (UK) they said that once a SIM card has been used in the SGS3, It can't be used in another phone! Guess the SGS1 will have to go :-(

Can you please help me by looking at your sim card tray - photo attached
Hi Folks, i think my Sim card tray is broken, can someone please have a look at their own and tell me if I am missing a pin (I have 'tried' to upload a photo, but it looks like a pin may be missing from behind the 3rd sim tray hole).
many thanks if you can help out...

Im still having issues with my galaxy note.
Still not detecting sim card.
Ive checked sim in another phone it works. Its in this one
Ive checked serial and imei they are ok so efs seems to be ok when ask phone to select a network manually they are detected but I cant join them
Phone is unlocked (verified) to any network
Ive reflashed cm10.1 latest Rom via cmupdates followed by clearing cache and dalvik then also tried with the factory wipe in recoverymode.
Everything else is working fine.
Im due to replace the sim holder on Saturday as this seems to be another common issue.
Can anyone think of any other causes?

took it to the shop turns out the seller used a microsim adapter which flattened all the pins in the slot as they are thicker. He also snapped one on removal.
That shop quoted a ton to fix as meant de soldering the slot which is tricky and risky. Basically said he wouldn't touch it.
The second shop said they couldn't fix it but could send it away for 30 quid but would be gone for 4 days max. Showed me fixed units with paperwork that were working as proof it wasn't dodgy
Just glad it's now sorted. Contacted seller on ebay with details, he put hands up to having opened the phone up and using an adapter but didn't realise he'd snapped the pin hes also offered to pay for the repairs, hes actually a nice bloke.
Thanks for help all.

My new phone stop reading the SimCard after 2 using days ("no simcard" reporting). I am sure It is not a software problem but on the other hand the SimCard socket hardware look like new. Unfortunately I don't have warranty... Any idea how to fix it? :crying:
Have you tried factory reset? We need more information about your phone too....

It worked perfect 2 days and suddenly no calling in/out no SimCard...I tried all, cleaning the socket by electric spry etc. I root it and wipe all including factory reset. No SimCard... (the sim itself is ok on other phone). This phone is new and all its hardware just new. I loss $350 since I bought it with no warranty .:crying:

Only other option I can think of is flashing the 4.3 ML2 release via Odin, see if that kicks it into gear....

In the worst case scenario the spare part is not expensive and replace procedure is not that hard.
Just replaced USB charging port on mine and cost around $10 on eBay.

First off you should flash another version of the firmware on your phone just to double-check.
Try 4.2.2 and other versions of 4.4.2. If it doesn't work then try some of the custom firmwares like CarbonROM and others.
If it still doesn't work then your sim card reader is defective and needs to be replaced.
You can buy it from eBay (search for "S4 active sim tray") and order ascending by price. It costs about $6.2 without shipping.
It is fairly easy to replace, just pop a few screws out the back and it is the first little board that you see, disconnect the flex cable, take it out and put in the new board.
Alternatively if you cannot buy from ebay from various reasons, go to your local GSM repair shop and ask them to replace just the tray, it is compatible with multiple phones and it is replaceable by Hot Air rework.
Good day!
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

When it booted again sim1 isn't working anymore.... Please help this time I can't check with the warranty because I'm travelling won't be back to my country anytime soon... 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.

Thank you for taking the time to reply! Well since the sim1 died the battery has been horrible and the heating extreme. Is the same happening for you? Did you contact Sony about it?

Help there just am update, I sent back my phone to Sony dealership they said sim 1 slot has been broken and it's not covered in the warranty since it's physically damaged. Well my only solution is to have a z3+dual with 1 sim lol anyway I think my first phone had the same issue but they replaced it anyway.

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?!
I am from aamman same your city
Thank you
