Hi folks.
I just got myself a brand new Lumia 800 (from o2, but sim unlocked)
At the beginning everything went well and the phone was running great.
Then yesterday evening the problems started. First there was a synching problem with my office365 account. I figured out it was a problem with one of the contacts (apparently the same bug that already existed for GMAIL accoutns in WP7).
After that the phone started rebooting itself on several occassions. Sometimes even without me doing anything, even doing another reboot right after it already rebooted once.
It's pretty hard to track down what is responsible for it. It happens a lot of time when I read emails, although not only (for example it just rebooted during Nokia Navigation, I was not even touching the phone, just driving with the navigation on...)
Has anybody had similiar problems? It's seriously annoying.
I even did a hard reset - made no difference. Set up everything new etc.
update
Update: It might be an issue with my sim card, phone seems to run fine without it. Luckily I'll get a new one activated on Tuesday, so I'll wait and retry then again
Curious, did you get a new microSIM when you got the phone or hand cut to fit?

Hand cut. Interestingly it worked for 3 days straight without any problems and then suddenly it started, that's why I didn't think the problem might be the SIM card.
Interesting to know that dodgy contacts (which I think might be the issue) cause immediate reboots
Interesting conclusion, I hand cut mine and so far, so good. Will bear this in mind though, you never know.
BUT
Just removing the SIM doesn't discount it, as it disables the cell radio, it could be related to that rather than the SIM itself.
I'll see on Tuesday when my new SIM gets activated. I'll report back how it works out

Update
Update: The problem really was the loose SIM card. Zero problems with the new Micro-SIM. Phone runs perfectly. I love it.
So if you ever encounter reboot loops you might wanna check your SIM
Great stuff, lets hope my home brew microSIM holds out then.
Obvious fault of the old SIM card. With me on the forum were also such cases.

i have lumia 800 and i have the same problem.i have send my phone back to nokia 3 times to fix it but nothing. i have pay 30,00 euros for ram-changes but still nothing.now i ll buy new sim card and see if the problem stays

I just bought a HTC Radar 4g from someone and its brand new with receipt and everything but some reason it doesn't have any service. When i start it up it says t-mobile for 2 seconds then switches to emergency calls only. I have tried my mom and dads sim but it doesn't seem to work either. Can anyone help me with my problem. I have t-mobile and my sim works on my e71x but not Radar.
Is it inserted the correct way?

yeah i made sure it was I saw the t-mobile for like 2 seconds pop up once but that was about it then it went to emergency calls only again. I tried to look for solution but few people have had this problem and im not sure what the problem is.
Try cleaning the sim card with a q-tip. Otherwise it sounds like you got a bad phone or the phone was deactivated by T-Mobile (ie it was stollen)

If the phone was deactivated is there any way I can reactivate it? Ill try the q-tip thing.
You can call up t-mobile and tell them what happend.
cpu BAD or phone library bad? the same to my blacyberry 9000
I also had similar problem (though in my case the phone was an unlocked phone). It would not recognize any Sim (would give Invalid Sim or Sim error), this was for a brand new phone right out of the box. Took it to HTC Service Center. They said motherboard was faulty and needs to be replaced! Finally they relented to replace the unit (HTC Service in India is pathetic.) But the replacement unit they gave is not new one!!! Felt cheated. Have decided not to buy HTC here in India again!! This when I am a loyal HTC customer for years now (am using HTC Sensation as my primary phone and ex-phone was HTC Touch Diamond).
At least the phone itself (ie. Radar) is quite good. Looks good, feels great in the hand (better than Sensation) and battery life is outstanding (I am charging it only every 4th day!) OS also is quite good for what it offers (though there are some frustrating things like Zune dependency etc). Its quite stable also compared to the Sensation (no force closes so far (3+ weeks) while Android just crashes the phone at least every other day (or even multiple times in a single day).
Just like the title says. Im on att and used the twrp recovery The all in one kit. Everything on my phone is working fine . I'm posting on it right now(through WiFi) but after I did everything yesterday my phone keeps giving me the no SIM card error. It's happened about 5 times now and I have to restart the phone 2-3 times for it to work fine again . Any idea?
Silly request, but have you popped out the sim card from the top of the phone and checked for dust/bad connection?

Yes I have..not as silly as it sounds because it's usually those easy things that fix it..but it didn't..still does it every day at least twice since it's been rooted. I just restart the phone when it does it till I figure put what it is .
I think I would try a triple wipe with a clean install

Yeah I've had the same issue a couple times. Popping it in and out seemed to get rid of the error for me, but this morning I woke up and it looked like my phone had lost signal at some point in the middle of the night and not regained it (so basically the same thing as a no sim error) but I never got a no-sim error.
On one occasion, before I popped it in/out, I got the error 3 times w/in a ten minute span while I was on the phone with someone.
Strange juju.

Ya sounds like the same issue..just flashed the custom Rom that hansoon posted in the development page and I haven't had it happen yet. So we shall see.
So this still keeps happening about 5-10 times a day...cleaned out the SIM card tray and nothing works. Tried stock Rom and the 2 roms available for att and nothing..
I'll take it in Saturday when I'm off work and just ask for a new phone . Anyone else having this issue or did I just get Bad one. Seems like everyone is having issues with the Bluetooth and WiFi while I'm having this and not those issues.
It just happened again as soon as I did my last post. Check out the screen shot
I have also had this happen to me a few times. The first couple times I would just reboot. This last time I popped the sim out and re seated it and I haven't had the issue since.
Seeing that this looks to be only an AT&T issue, could it be due to poor quality SIM cards?
Any correlation with LTE vs. non LTE SIMs?
I'm on AT&T and rooted on thanksgiving. Last Tuesday it happened and reboot worked then Friday night it happened again. Reboot didn't work at first and I wasn't at home so I didn't have the tool and couldn't find anything to do it. After 3 reboots and some serious shaking of the phone (which probably didn't do anything) it finally worked.
It just happened again to me. Phone was lying on the table for a while was fine when I set it down and about 30-45 minutes later when I checked the time it said no SIM. When I get home I'm going to take it out and clean it and see if I can figure it out.
Never Die!
I've had this issue a few times myself. I took my SIM card out and cleaned everything and have yet to have it happen again

i'm not rooted yet but it seems I've had it for a while now even got a new sim card. it got worse popped it out. turns out it wasnt on the sim tray securely. it's easy to do as the sim card doesn't sit flush. you just got to cram it on the trey without breaking it. and carfully slide it in your phone. havent had it since it happened about 6 times yesterday. oh and you dont have to restart the phone. you can simply put it in airplane mode and it wil come back
Hapens to me on my telus device running maximus. Gonna try a reseat first turn rom change if reseat is useless.

I took my SIM put this morning and blew it out and repositioned it and put it back in. The issue hasn't happened again since Saturday morning so we shall see what happens
Never Die!
One X+ vodafone romania - untouched
after ~ 6 days, it started yesterday. several times in like 3 hours, and again this morning and this afternoon
really love the phone, and i don`t wanna send it back yet. still have few days till i can return if the problem persists
I think this probably has to do with the sim card being properly seated in the tray securely and then carefully placed into the phone as noted above.
The reason I say this is because I ordered my HOX+ from Walmart Wireless and when I received it the 'paper' around the phone was ripped at the top by the sim card tray and they had already removed the tray and inserted the new sim card for me.
At the time I thought it was kind of odd that they bothered to do that. Mainly because most people are more than capable of putting a sim card into a little tray and placing it in their phone. Also, there is a little key inside the box meant specifically for opening the sim tray.
However, reading about the various issues some of you have had, I feel I have a pretty good understanding of why they do that with HTC phones. At least the HOX+ anyway.
The thoery is that they've probably had a number of them returned for this exact issue, so they found that by carefully placing the Sim in themselves they can avoid unnecessary returns.
Of course this is just my theory, but, it makes a lot of 'sense' to me, lol. One thing to note is that you might want to try and file off the little bumps that form on the edges of the sim card. They are left over from the area where it is attached to the bigger 'business card' thing that surround a new sim card. No idea if that will help, but, it is very unlikely to cause any problems if you try.
Anyways, kinda long, but, hopefully helps some of your to get yours seated just right. Had my phone about two weeks and I've not yet seen the issue.
well no matter what i did it kept happening. I called att and they transfered me over to warranty. They sent me a new phone and i received it this last tuesday. I rooted it That night and im on the Blackout rom for att. No issues as of yet. we will see.....

Long time follower here.
I think my lumia 920 is bricked, while i was flashing this version of firmware RM821_059R1W5_1232.2110.1244.3011, suddenly it stopped with a failed error, without any error number or description.
Now i can't turn on my lumia anymore, also it doesn't get noticed by the computer as a hardware, and also doesn't respond to volume down + power.
is there anyway to fix it?
Thx alot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032888 Mine wouldn't boot after a hard reset. I think this may be your only hope to fix on your own. Nokia Care suite and the refurb option.

is there anyway to know the IM number of the phone without having the box? it's not on the body of the phone, and the phone doesn't start up.
I argued that with Nokia, beacuase they swore up in down it was on the SIM tray... seems stupid to put it there, what if for some reason you lose it? Whomever you were using it on should have it. In fact, I think when I log into AT&T I believe it is there.
have the same issue right now. I'm thinking about sending it in

it's behind the metal frame of SIM holder (not the plastic where you put SIM card) so it's hard to lose it..if you lose the metal frame with label, your sim card even with SIM holder will be loose.
Also if you know your provided (Network carrier) and based on color - you can get your product code from below link:

Similar Problem
I have the same problem with my Lumia 920 - RM 821.
Already tried all the tools of Nokia, but without results, no vibrate and no image.
My Lumia has stopped completely and I can not fix it.
Ok guys i know there are a few threads already created for this error, however; I haven't seen a solution yet, So i'm creating this thread in hopes that we can compile all the information about this, and maybe find a solution,
Here's the story, I bought an Unlocked Galaxy note SGH-i717D on ebay about a year ago, the phone was working like a charm and it loved it , then a few months later i started getting a "NO SIM Inserted" error message.
The SIM card was pretty old so I went to my carrier and changed it. That seemed to do the trick and it worked fine until a few weeks ago, when the damn error showed up again. I'm literally getting this error message every day, making the phone impossible to use.
I've tried EVERYTHING:
1- I ruled out the SIM card being faulty since it's new and it works on other phones
2- Made sure the SIM was making contact with the pins
3- Put Scotch tape on the SIM to make it fit better on the SIM slot
3- Deleted cache
4- Rooted my phone and installed titanium backup to delete all user and system app cache
5- flashed the original rom back into my phone
Nothing seems to work (the titanium backup method works for a few hours/days) so please if any of you know the solution to this issue please let me know.
I highly appreciate any help!
Sim card slots go bad some times. A samsung repair shop can replace it in minutes.
mine went out. i havent paid any attention to it. ive noticed alot of notes have this.

yup i've read a lot about it, it doesn't seem to be a problem with the hardware, cuz it works fine when I delete the cache, i've read it has to do with the 3g/4g band the phone is working with, that may cause the issue, but then again nobody's been able to confirm this.
Having the same problem.
No SIM
Baseband: Unknown
IMEI: Unknown
Can't restore with KIES.
Mine was under warranty so I just returned it for an exchange. Got a new SIM, no changes. A factory reset fixed it for a short period.

So I rooted my phone and installed titanium backup like i mentioned on my first post, there's an option on Titanium backup called CLEAR cache for all user and system apps, that seems to do the trick at least for a few hours and some time days.
Sounds like what you guys may need is the sim card port replacement. whatever you do do not send your phone to samsung if you arent under warranty, you will be broke when your done with them. the part is 7$ including shipping on ebay, you can type in sim card port to find it. it is very easy to install, if you dont feel comfortable you can bring it to a shop.

My phone have the same problem. But is the t-mobile note (sgh-t879). Can I use this parts for fix my phone?
You can easily find the parts for the tmobile version too. Ebay is where I start looking for parts.
Hi i am having the same issue on my Galaxy Note i717R (Canadian Version - originally from Rogers Network) , would appreciate if you could share a solution with me too .
This happened on my i717 just after warranty ran out (of course). It first started off with losing the use of 4g so I couldnt make calls and only could use lte data. Then the radio would stop working and nothing worked. I then restarted my phone and no sim card inserted error. Eventually it would work again but last night I was using the phone and data with no problem but nothing can fix the error today. I'm stuck using the desire HD unless I can figure this out.

I've had this same problem. Reset system and use caches with Titanium Backup but this didn't last. Reset to the original ROMs (Samsung update to Android 4.1 ) did not help. Finally I bought and replace the sim and microsdcard reader (which was remarkably easy to do), This didnt help either. Anyone have a solution?

WTF? it seems like its a software issue then, this is so weird! I read somewhere that it may be the band the phone works with, I'm in Costa Rica so the 3g, 4g bands that we use here may be a bit different and could be causing the problem, then again i know NOTHING about cell phone band frequencies....
This is what's been working for me, I delete cache using titanium back up and then leave the phone off through the night, this method seems to work for a a few weeks maybe a month and when i get the error message again i repeat the process. Also make sure the pins on the sim tray are touching the sim card I noticed on my phone they were a little low so i took a needle and lift them up a bit.
Anyways I really got sick of the error, so I'm changing the sim card tray, if that doesn't work I'm getting rid of this phone.
replaced sim tray and problem is still there...wtf

I was having the same problem. The error would hapoen 10+ times a day sometimes.
I replaced the sim card reader, stil happened. Flashed new rom and modem, didn't fix thr problem.
Started rooting around, thought that maybe the piece of case that sits under the leading edge of the sim card lifts it up, occasionally breaking sim contact when it flexed.
Took a screwdriver and bent the three contacts out some more, now it only happens occasionally.
I think I may be onto something here.

Are you using a full-size sim or a small sim inserted in an adaptor? I have had issues with the small sim.
Don't quote, reply. If you quote, edit.
was using a micro then switched to a full size sim...it actually fried the first full size sim then had to go back to tmobile to get another one..it seems the bottom of the sim tray seems to lift up on the bottom...

Hello.
The problem is as written in title.
A while ago my GF found this phone in woods in snow. It was barely visible so it must've been there for some time.
Of course it had passcode which we couldn't get past. Also was pretty strange because it didn't have a SIM card, which couldn't have fallen out because it had the silicone case around it.
We put up posts on her local facebook and on our public profiles, a month has passed no one has decided it's theirs so she gave it to me to reset.
Neither power or volume UP buttons were working but a little digging here and there and I found the microsoft tools to completely reinstall the phone. Now we have a nice spare phone in case any of ours breaks down, BUT we can't make calls from it. Tried both mine and her SIM cards, nothing. Signal is full, it easily finds 4G and I'm absolutely not familiar with windows phones(the last one I had was HTC Touch dual), but getting online - when WiFi is off - is possible. So it must mean the IMEI isn't blocked, right?
What could be our options or has she just found a fancy music player? (32GB is hell of a lot more than 8GB on my phone or even 16 on hers)
Thanks,
Tom.
