Moto x randomly stops reading sim - Moto X Q&A

Sim will work then just randomly stop. Ejecting it and putting back in solves it temporarily but it keeps occurring. I am using straight talk with a micro sim i cut down. It fits in fine and works at first then just stops. Any ideas? I just got the phone off eBay. Thanks any help is appreciated.

I cut my AT&T sim and this was happening as well. I went to get an official nano sim, no problems.

Can you even get official straight talk nano Sims?

Sim card randomly removed

Everyday at one random point of the day it shows a message saying
"Sim card removed. Reboot the phone" I don't know why this is happening... I don't think it's a rom issue cause I had this in cognition and assonance(currently used)..

Most likely you just need a new sim card. Sometimes if they mishandled when taking them in or out it could damage the contacts.
I've seen a few cases where phones belonged to people who literally smoked and held the phone with the same hand at the same time had similar issues. There could be a great deal of tar on the card.
Other than that I would just check the internals and see if anything could be blocking a good.connection.

Can I buy a new similar card wihtout having to change my number? And I'm running the assonance rom and on the status bar it has h instead of 3g is that also caused by the sim card?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
The sim card just let's you connect.to the network. Your phone number would be the same as your previous one.
If you ate still under warranty, flash back to stock before you take it uptown to the store and have them put a new sim in as they may notice you have a custom rom and may make note.of it.

I don't have a warranty.. so is this gonna cost a lot of money??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Just go to the AT&T store, tell them you lost your phone and need a new sim card to use on a spare phone. Most of the time it's free.
Ok thanks I'll try it out as quick as possible cause my phone is like not working now..

Did you flash a new rom on your phone with the SIM card installed in the phone?
Just tell them that you need your SIM replaced because this one is acting up. They shouldn't have a problem with that. I had mine replaced recently - there was no charge for it as well as there shouldn't be since they're a dime a dozen.

[Q] No 4G LTE after SIM error

Hey guys,
I work at Sprint and my technicians and myself cannot figure this out. So I thought I would reach out to you guys!
I had 4G flawlessly on my phone for the first few weeks I had it. One day I got a SIM error that read something like this, "No SIM Card: 4G LTE will not work as SIM/UICC is reinserted". I popped out the little SIM card, wiped it off, and the phone read it and the error went away. Since then I have not had a single connection to 4G LTE.
All of our demo phones are on 4G lte as well as my girlfriends phone at home. I am constantly in 3G or 1X. Any advice would be great
Things I have already tried....
1. Updated profile/prl
2. Reprovisioned phone using ##72786#
3. Toggled settings using *#*#4636#*#*
4. Wiped and installed a new ROM
5. Played around with SIM card slot and rebooting phone
I am going to try a new UICC sim if we have one around the store...if that doesn't work im out of ideas!
I have no suggestions, but I have had the same exact problem the past couple of weeks. I got the error, but I didn't even pop the SIM card out. I just put the phone in airplane mode like I usually did when I got the error. When I took it out of airplane mode, my 4g was gone and it has not come back. I have checked all settings and I can't come up with anything. I also RUU'd back to stock just to make sure. Still no sign of 4g.
Let me know if replacing your sim does the trick, because this has been driving me crazy.
By the way, I know it is the phone and not just sprint messing with the towers or something, because my wife's evo 4g lte is on 4g all the time.

I read somewhere that your SIM ID and your UICC ID have to match, don't know if it's true, but go to settings - about - phone identity to check it out

yes I already tried that as well
I'm assuming the phone's not rooted, but any chance you might be able to flash new radio software?

Im not getting the "no sim" error anymore. I never got it again after the first time I popped it in and out. Im just getting no 4G after fixing it.

The phone is rooted. I don't think there are any other radios out for this device yet though. Thanks for your reply though
I'm a Sprint Tech and do not have an answer currently for you guys as I have been receiving this error as well and only just found this thread. Will try to research tomorrow and see if I can find an answer. I only received this message once as of yesterday and it went away seconds later. Tonight it reappeared and is sticking. Under app info it shows this is the Phone app that is sending out this notification. There is a possibility if you force close the app and then disable notifications for it that this error may go away; however, I'm not sure what other notifications we would consequently loose. Current corporate PRL is 55015 and I am running Viper 1.0.3 with stock kernel. I am wondering if this has to do with refreshing your PRL because I did not notice it until I requested it from Updates two days ago even though the actual PRL version number did not change.

What about running a RUU

ITS NOT .10 but u could just update after. See if it works.
If ur rooted use this

Its .10

Already ran RUU. No dice. Took it to a Sprint store and they replaced the SIM card. Still no dice. I'm starting to think it's the radio itself.

Damn. We seriously dont have radio img's yet? I thought the RUU flashes the radio.

I doubt it will work but let us know if it works for you. A brand new SIM didn't work for me so I'm not too hopeful about it.

yea that sh!t didnt work at all. this seems really stupid to me that our phone is having this issue what could be causing this why would the sim card mess it up?
Ok so the consensus is, this seems really stupid too but its the only thing I can figure, the SIM is loose. If you eject your HTC One Micro Sim and place a small piece of scotch tape on the reverse side of the connector, this gives the card just enough volume, when reinserted to consistently maintain contact with the reader as the SIM tray is simply too big and is allowing the phone to believe there is actually no SIM card inserted when the connection is detected as broken. Suppose this also explains the inconsistencies in various user experiences since we all have different handling habits. Any one else want to wager to guess why this problem is so intermittent?

my friend who works at bb hooked me up with another sim. im taking it to sprint tomorrow and see if they can do anything. my friend said he could swap for a new htc one as well. i would have to pay 30 bones though.

Why do you want to switch the UICC?
It will not work in another line's phone for more than 5 minutes. It will give an error when it realizes that the UICC number does not match what is listed on Sprint's end for your account, and disable data until reboot.

sim card reboots my T

Hi there i have this issue please help. My T is rooted and unlocked and i use the PureXT 4.3 rom. When the sim is out the phone works but when i insert the sim reboots.
And I guess it just keeps rebooting all the time with the SIM inserted?
Otherwise it's normal, when you remove or insert a SIM it reboots automatically.
Have you tried a different SIM?
Sent from my LT30p using XDA Free mobile app
It reboots randomly when the sim is in. Yes I tried a different sim I had the same problem when I bought it but know I don't have warranty. Also i notice that when i charge it the phone is ok.

But if it happens with every SIM it can't be a SIM problem either.
Sent from my LT30p using XDA Free mobile app
It will start to reboot when battery percentage drops to some level. In my case it was everything ok until battery drops to 50-60%. If I plug the charger, reboots stops.
Thanks for the tip I will replace battery but I have one question how the phone works without sim
Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk
I think that GSM signal could be trigger.
Check this video I recorded
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=309fHOxomHE
my lt30p is currently in for repair for the 3rd time due to this problem. random rebooting unless the sim is removed or its on charge

Can someone test something for me? (or maybe already have the answer?)

I'm having issues getting my phone activated with Verizon, even with what I'm told is an already active nano sim. My phone tells me that it has no sim card on the lockscreen, and the sim info app shows nothing for the sim serial. I'm starting to wonder if my sim slot is just bad. I have done a factory reset to no avail
TLR Can someone that has a spare inactive nano sim pop it into their Nexus 6 and tell me it still shows that no sim is installed on the lockscreen?
Have to ask this question......is you sim in right??? Gold side up.

I bought a tmobile nexus 6 for my GF who is on verizon. She put her sim from her moto X into the nexus and it worked. Do not remember if it said no sim detected but i do remember her using it with the signal bar being greyed out most of the time.
