SIM fail or phone fail? - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Lately my phone is randomly saying : SIM card removed please restart! Then I have to take out the sim and clean it and then it works again for a while! Is my SIM card messed up or does my phone have a HW failure?

most of the time is it a simcard problem. So by contacting your operator and asking for a new one you will be able to fix this

@mrjraider I always have 1 signal bar too :/ still think its the sim?

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.

Network signal blinking after changing sim card.. help!!

Hi. My brother's note is not rooted and he didn't do anything in it. Today he changed his sim card and when he started up his phone, he cant make any calls or sms. Network signal changes every second from having network to blocked icon. Both sim cards belong to the same network company. He changed back to his old sim card and showed the same. Warranty is out and im ready to fix it if it needs any firmware changes or rooting but he doesnt want to do any of that. I will do it if there is no other solutions.
Thanks

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.

It's battery problem. I had same issue.

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

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

[HELP] [E6533] Problem With SIM Slot 1

I've recently inserted the Reliance Jio 4G sim of my brother in the sim slot 1, and removed it after sometime, it was working well and I was getting reception and everything. After I removed it I inserted my BSNL sim in it and it simply showed 'No sim card' but the same sim is working in the sim slot 2. Any suggestions on how to make it work?
Sent from my E6533 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Try Any other sim card ( like airtel,idea,aircel etc.. )
I've tried Aircel, Idea and another reliance sim and i've also flashed it but nothing happened. I think it's a hard ware problem.

The sim reader pins are very very sensitive. I posted about this earlier and the tray / sim reader itself gets broken.
