Sorry if this has been reported or posted about, I tried searching without much luck.
Anyways, ever since the ICS update my RAZR randomly decides to stop recognizing the SIM card even if I insert and reinsert it. Usually happens after the phone has been on. A reboot solves the problem, so it's not a huge inconvenience, but still an issue nonetheless. Has anyone else had this problem and if so is there a fix for it? Not sure if it's a phone hardware problem, software or a SIM problem. Any suggestions?
This is occuring on the ICS OTA update (.211).

I also have this problem. I had been running the .211 OTA update for a week or 2 and it just started yesterday. Like the OP I tried reinserting the SIM and nothing happened. The only thing that fixes it is rebooting. I never had this problem on stock GB non-rooted and I had just rooted my phone the day before so I wonder if rooting causes this?

Noone has any suggestions or ran into the same problem?

Same here. Tried three times now, including one reboot. All stock - no root.
Any ideas?

Same problem with mine. I unrooted prior to this update. Tried 3 times on 4g, 3g and Wi-Fi. Any thoughts on this?

Intrepid, in your case, have you disabled any system apps? Re-enable them and try again.

No apps have been disabled. Its pretty much stock.

Try a factory reset first....That will make sure you're bone stock.
Thanks. Ill give that a shot in a few minutes.

same issue here, trying hard reboot!
will keep you posted
Just curious. If you are having this problem, did you perform your download over 4G or WiFi? I have no clue about what is causing this problem, but if you were on 4G perhaps you can try downloading again using WiFi (or visa-versa)? Yes, I know this shouldn't matter. But it is something to try.
I was downloading through wifi.

I just did a factory reset including internal media and the SD card, downloaded the update and tried to install but got the triangle and android on the screen about halfway through. Any thoughts?
Did a hard reset, wiped user data and that seemed to do it
If you are rooted, uninstall bootstrap or safestrap if you have those. For me safestrap was breaking the update. Thxkbai!
Just did another hard reset with no luck getting through the update. Willing to entertain any suggestions...
How far do you get?

This may seem like an odd suggestion, but if you keep failing to install the OTA pushed to your phone, try flashing the file from the root of your SD card.
About a quarter of the way through. It showed a triangle with the android on the screen when it stopped.
I started getting the no sim a lot since I flashed cubed kernel
This morning I got this new error
Only a full reset will bring it back to working order
I'm on 1.21 ukb
Cubed kernel
I think I need to go back to stock kernel
Anyone else getting this?

Before you do that, turn the phone off and resit the SIM card. I was getting that error and doing so fixed it.

I am getting this too. I get it like twice a week. A quick fix is rebooting phone. I have tried reinserting the SIM while off but it still came on. My guess is its from an old or faulty SIM card. My DNA came with a SIM card but i just kept my old one from my Dinc2.

Yesterday my sim went dead and had to go to Verizon to get a new one. Totally random. My phone is stock.
My phone is rooted, nothing more, I just got the puk is locked...
I seem to can't win with the SIM cards. This is the second one I've gotten.

I've had it once on cubed. Reboot didn't fix but popping the SIM card did.

I got the same problem, GPGS could not be established.
Get a new sim. They're free. I got it replaced yesterday, and since have not gotten the lock message.

Just happened to me this morning... I've only had my DNA a week, what causes this? ? ? Never had a phone do this...
Customer service attempted to assist, however, they ended up directing me to local corporate store to have SIM replaced...

This happened to my phone. I rebooted the phone and it was fine. It happened a second time today and I rebooted and it was fine. Called VZW and they said it's not the sim card it's a software glitch and HTC is aware of it and is working on a fix for it now. They said not to try to swap for another DNA because all DNA phones probably will have the software glitch.
I got this error too, luckily rebooting fixed it

I got the no SIM 4 times today
I accidentally tossed the SIM removal tool with my box
I ended up using a small flat head screw driver and lightly pushed down on the SIM card slot and powered back on
I did try the rebooting and airplane mode but those didn't work
Pushing the SIM back down a little seems to have helped
Well see if the no SIM comes back
Thank you all for your replies

Hey guys, this sounds like the same issue use one x plus guys are experiencing try taping the top part of the SIM card to the sides of the tray it's possible that it's getting loose and a reboot is required everytime it looses connection and the software doesn't refresh to check for connection.
Sent from my HTC One X+ using Tapatalk 2
Just got my DNA yesterday and have had this same problem on & off throughout today. Just completely looses the connection or I get the puk error. I popped out the SIM and put it back into place a few hours ago and so far so good...
I have had my DNA since the first day it was released. Just started do this crap today. Reboot fixed it.
It randomly happens. It kinda makes me mad. I'll be good for a few days, then it does it ...

I am wondering if this is a hardware defect on my device or an actual problem.
My Phone:
S-OFF
Viper 1.1.3
Cubed 3.1.3
No Verizon OTA update
OTA update radio flashed via fastboot
Eng HBoot
Occasionally I will lose data/3G/4G connection and it will say a SIM is not detected (even though it is in there). I found that by rebooting it will fix it but I haven't found a fix besides that. I will regain connection after the reboot and it will work fine but this is happening at least once a day.
(Clearing Cache/Dalvik, Fixed permissions does nothing)
Thanks!
It is a common hardware problem on dna's. Reseating the SIM card is the best fox for it.

Had the same issue. My phone obviously was defected as my new one had no issue. Trade off is it came with the ota. So I have to wait for root now.

I used to have this problem on my phone. I re seated the sim card once and took the ota update and since then it hasn't given me any error involving the sim card.

Probably has everything to do with reseating and nothing to do with the ota.
Same issue for me. I cleaned the SIM card with an eraser and it's been good so far.

I've always had problems with the DNAs sim card not being found but I've noticed this happening much much more than usual. Its annoying having to constantly restart my phone so it will recognize the sim. On the additional information about the OTA it says it fixes sim card problems, will it still accomplish this goal with a rooted ROM based off the ota?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
I updated to the ota and it still happened to me. Just once. Went on my Verizon wireless account and changed device to the same phone, rebooted and all is well. Hopefully it doesn't happen again. Good luck!

Some people report that it actually does, some of then even says that the have better signal reception...
on my droid, i installed the update and the signal strengt is like the same, but i havent had no sim card issue anymore
Just an update... Happened to me again just now....lol
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
It is supposed to fix the issue but I assume it only fixes a specific issue, so its possible you can still have the issue if your sim is dirty or broken. The update is just a radio so just get it and flash it.
Just a radio...exactly what I wanted to hear. Why download a whole new ROM if I can change up my radio. Thanks guys, if only there was a way to flash radios without fast boot:/
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
I flashed the new radio and have noticed that my sim card fails significantly less than previously. It still happens every once in awhile but not nearly as much. Just for anyone belse having issues

I'm not rooted yet and earlier today my device stopped recognising my sim card. A simple reboot fixed the issue, but I was wondering if anyone else experienced this issue. A search showed some people using the HTC one x had this issue at one time.
