sim card missing

Hey guys,
I just bought a Tilt and have this 'sim card missing' problem. At times I've been able to get the sim card working but after a reset the problem is there again and no way to fix it.
I've tried putting a piece of paper there and everything but it just doesn't work. Any suggestions?
Using 1.65.24.36 radio and HD_III_Omnia_WWE with a 3.29 SPL....
It's driving me nuts fellas. Please help...
Also a picture of how to place the piece of paper would be appreciated as I have no other solution. Cheers guys

You should have posted this in the older thread.

I'm pretty desperate here mate. All the other threads have a solution which involved putting a piece of paper in there.
I'd like to know where to put the piece of paper(maybe I'm going wrong?) and also whether there are some other possible solutions.

Well then maybe post your question in the thread that has discussed it.

So, some updates.
I've gotten my network to work(which confirms it isn't a hardware issue)...but as soon as I soft-reset it it will say "sim card missing" again....it might be on the 1st reset or on the 3rd etc.
Using L26v12 FULL rom and I've tried 3 radios so far and all have the same problem.
Is it the L26 ROM causing the problem or...?

I don't know if this might help, it's more of a marginal remark to your problem:
When i got my kaiser, stock rom didn't read my sim at all - reason for it was the sim card was older then 2004 (or so).
I got a new one from my provider and it worked perfectly (fairly simple/fast/cheap procedure, at least concerning my provider)
Dunno, but maybe the SIM architecture has issues with different roms, similar to this issue of mine.

Okay, this has been resolved. Today I bought a new SIM card from my provider for $4 and that solved the problem.
You were right brokenlute, it's a compatibility issue between the device and the SIM card. What amazes me though, is why it worked periodically at all?!?!?!
This has been resolved!
I feel much better now

This is why AT&T will make everyone replace their SIM card if they try to do an equipment upgrade with a SIM older then 24 months.

Probably, no AT&T in Australia though

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.

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 ?

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.

Samsung Galaxy S Captivate not recognizing sim card.

Get a new sim card?

Does your sim card work in a different phone?

That happened to me once. I had to return the phone. I was unable to get it to recognize the sim card.
Different rom didn't help either. Even when I flashed back to stock... no sim. It was a refurb so a new one was easy to get.
Hope you get it worked out.

This happened to me earlier this week. Flash to stock and then back to the rom worked for me

Clean contacts on sim card. Factory reset. If that doesn't work call Rogers for replacement.
No warranty you can replace the simcard slot its a daughter card I think you can order from globalpartsdirect

I have the exact same problem. Again it happened with a warranty phone I just received today. It occurred while trying to root the phone. The SIM card from my wife's iPhone does not work in my phone either. However, my SIM works in her phone. I've tried just about everything I can think of at this point other than running Kies (my next try).
BTW,
Unlike my original Captivate, this one came to me with Froyo already installed.

Under Menu /Settings / About phone /Status /Network what does it say ??
If it says "Unknown" you could try just flashing ur modem again.

I am having the exact same issue with a refurbished phone from AT&T and insurance gone im out of luck unless there is a easy solution.

Hello Everyone, So this is my situation so far:
I have a Samsung Captivate with unbrickable mod added. I flashed with Heindall to 2.2 froyo on linux. The SIM card is not recognized. I have triend 2.1 and 2.2 and 2.3 one clicks in windwons with no luck. I tried to mess with IMEI and elfs file. Results were that the lines i was suppose to change on nv.bin did not exist (no lines in file i was attempting to correct). So at this point and time can i conclude this is absolutely not a software issue? Problem two is if this is a hardware issue and not a software issue. Where do i begin? how much is the price for replacement? How hard is it to do? I have tried flashing with everything off the phone (sim and sd) Im a bit lost at this point. Any help would be great.

Update: Spoke with Adam and he says its not a software issue. I also spoke with the guys who did the soldering and said the issue is not coming from the soldering. I am thinking maybe when the phone was taken apart something got loose? Any thoughts anyone?

[Q] New Xperia Z1 No Signal Whit any sim.

Hey just got new z1 for my wife.

put my wifes sim card into my z1 then i got signal
Some thing wrong whit the z1?
Have googled hole day cant find a solution plesae help me?
anybody have the same problem?
Cheers Stian

Go via Warranty.

Well same happened to me at first I though was the sim reader but it was the rom that suddenly stop reading the sim and I don't know why. The solution was to flash a different rom and now I am with kitslim. To check the sim reader I used the app "sim card by gsmdev" such app allows to read the sim information like contacts imei etc so if that app reads that info means that the sim reader is OK and you need to flash a different rom or the same. Hope this help

Check if your imei is intact, perhaps you could flash an FTF file which will replace the OS so back everything up first.
Make sure you are inserting the sim correctly (i know you probably are but it's worth checking) ones the sims in the phone it should reboot, could be that the contacts which hold the sim aren't raised enough, don't bother fixing them just take it back if that's the case, if the sim has been inserted incorrectly then theres a chance that the contacts may be bent and if that's the case then your warranty will be void, but in all fairness it sounds like a dodgy phone rather than any of the above.
I'd still do the FTF flash anyway, it's probably the best shot you've got, oh and i've noticed that some peoples phones will read sims and others won't so the fact that it works in yours and not hers although weird, isn't conclusive. Try another sim too.
