I am also having this problem since the ICS update, I have tried every which way and a wiggle, nothing. Is it back to Motorola??????
Odd.. I'm having this problem before ics update.. After ics i no longer have this problem.

So, still there is no idea what may cause/remedy this ?? I would hate to send it back to Motorola although they do turn things around very quickly...

Hi. Once every few hours, my phone will suddenly lose connection for a few seconds and say "Invalid sim card", then it will connect again. It gets really annoying, especially when I'm in the middle of a conversation. Is there a fix for this?
I have this too as well as saying sim card not installed

If you used a sim cutter to cut your sim to microsim ... it may of not been done properly
If not... try cleaning the sim contact points on both sim card and simcard tray
Hope that helps

I heard abt sim card issue on some russian forum.
Its somethig you cant know exacly till you try. I mean one sim card works well, another - not. Even of same carrier.
Its about specifications of sim.
For now is only one solution is to contact your gsm operator and ask for an available sim cards and try one by one.
Had that when I bought the Razr from the Verizon store. I reset to factory and reentered my Gmail and fine ever since.
Something had not setup right the first time.

For GSM users upgrading radio will solve the issue, just take a look at developer section & find a thread : upgrading radio, radio 85P is recommended

Many thanks. it works after upgrade the radio
I have this problem now, **** this **** ****ing whore I need my phone tommorow and now the sim will not be recognized. I am on stock 2.3.6 wtf should I do?
Does this work on Rogers Razr? Mine is randomly doing this and sometimes i turn the Airplane mode and it gets fixed or restarts. So the most viable solution would be to restart the phone... After that, it's all good again. Wondering if upgrading the radio will fix this entirely.

no solution is currently available to use 3g once you ics
even if you have a verizon 4g sim
even beigephone can't come up with one without a 4g chip as of this writing
more of verizon locking down their phones
depending on the rom some will work with 4g but these is a trick to it, try searching the forums
I had no problem putting my razr maxx with ics on pageplus

Wardcst : Can you give more info on how you flashed?
Did you do a OTA to ICS and then flash using CDMAWS? Was it a paid version?
I have a Razr, flashed using Beigephone, on stock GB ROM. Havent upgraded to ICS yet but would like to if I can do it myself and get 3g and dont have to send it to Beigephone. Any info will be much appreciated. Thanks!

Yeah looks like there is a 49.95 service on Beigephone to flash ICS Razr and Razr Maxx. Let us know if it works out for you pltctytc.

they're reflashed for free in the past. although i don't expect it this time
its cheaper than the alternatives in the long run. could have gone to V ported to prepaid for one month then port back to ppc and see what happens. would cost me more than 50 for that
one no one seems to know what bp does different unless they have the uber expensive software that can do more than cdmaws. maybe just a bug in the phone from the update....who knows...

I used qpst and DFS I don't have cdma workshop
there is a thread on howard forums post 11 tells how
you do not have to use any cut now there is a *#*#4636#*#* for phone info to change the radio to lte cdma evdo
I did the over the air as a tester for motorola simm has to be in for data to work I have no mms
In menu settings about phone status it does not show phone number or prl but when I read phone in qpst or DFS all info comes up
Phone works great though I have not factory reset it not sure if that makes any difference or not
I went from stock rooted 181 to the OTA ICS used voodoo root keeper and restored root after the update and worked perfect

bionic and razr are 2 different phones 4636 doesnt work on razr there are apps for that or ##program
i have factory reset but it didn't do anything. i was rooted before and after with no problems rerooting
i'm thinking its all in the sim card and might need to be erased or replaced or a dealer needs to activate it somehow...just guessing

4636 does work on the razr?
devs would say to use it to toggle to gsm then back to lte to get data working. so i guess not on stock roms?

Yes for Data you do or it will not work
So pltctytc, were you able to install ICS and get data working on Pageplus with the 4g SIM card?
I have the 4g SIM Card that came from Verizon in the phone and if i remove it, data doesnt work on GB and goes on roaming mode. Putting back in, data starts working again.
I was thinking of safestrap and install an ICS leak on the safe-side but what I have read is that you have to have ICS on the non-safe side also. The other option is safestrap and then install the stock .181 on the safe side and then try and see if it will OTA update from it to ICS. If anything goes haywire, i can go back to the non-safe side.

as far as i know you always needed a sim (3g on gb) no matter what on at least the razr for internet (without wifi)
beigephone said i needed the 4g sim to get it working now with ics. $15. i have no idea what info is on the sim. maybe it just acts like a key and you'll be good
i don't mess with leaks and safestrap etc. i take the authentic ota's and keep rooted. on my dx i did sbf's but not with the maxx
its just verizon locking down 'their' phones
works w/ 4g card
got maxx back from bp today 3g works and has v sim card installed
in the settings 3g card is checked not 4g
preferred network mode lte/cdma
sms does not work but that is a current bug in a lot of ics updates...there is an app that gets it back.. android 4 ics sms

I just got a Razr XT912 that came with a SIM. I assume you mean a "clean" SIM? Does this just apply to the Maxx? I'd really like to be on ICS (now on GB 2.3.6) before I try flashing on my own.

hi,I have the same issue any advice?
Hey peeps, i have a problem with an HTC Amaze in here thats not recognizing the sim card. It shows the imei and all that. Radio seems to be fine but then again when it turns on it will not recognize the tmo or any other sim card. Its running 4.0.3 ICS but thats about all i know. It had never been open before i did. Inside everything looks ok. But i know that doesnt mean everything is ok. Could it be the sim card holder? I have already checked the pins that make contact with the sim card and they look fine. Hardware? Software? Any advice?

I only say this because i made the mistake of putting the sim card upside down. All my previous phones were the opposite. lol
Lol! very funny story but this is not the case ha ha... So any other advice will be appreciated. If i find out ill let the forum know what i did...
That happened to my first Amaze. It fixed itself the next day, but another problem popped up. Unfortunately, I had to trade it in and get a new one. Hopefully, everything will work out for you.
Had to use a new sim card when I got the Amaze a couple of weeks ago. It wouldn't recognize the card I been using for for year.

this. i would think you need a new sim card. the imei has zilch to do with the sim
i had to get a new replacement for my phone, kept resetting it and everything flashing new roms, radio would work then go out, got a new phone works great again.

What sim card are you using? Maybe the card is incompatible. Any T mobile store should new able to help you with that.

Hey guys been having issues with 4g. It works only intermittently in my DNA (even though it shows the indicator in the status bar), but if I put my sim in my Galaxy Nexus it works flawlessly. I've tried flashing kernels, new roms, and even going back to stock with ruu, but no luck. I've even switched to a new sim card. Anyone else have this issue? Or know of a fix? I'm hesitant to do a warranty exchange because the phone has the "relocked" tag in the bootloader (but no tampered tag).
I saw this too starting last week. I thought it was because i got a new sim. But then i put the sim in a different phone and have noticed that it is doing the same thing. Only thing i can think of is it's aproblem with Verizon. And not localized since your not here in Ga.

Yeah it's driving me crazy. no one else here is having the issue and I've drove through the state recently without any change. 3G however works fine when it connects to that. I'm wondering if somehow I bricked the radio Flashing/Changing roms and kernels.
I've been experiencing this problem as well. It's so annoying. Using the app OpenSignal it's funny to see my status display 4G, but when I check with the app it always says no data.. It is very frustrating. Hopefully the SIM update dropping tomorrow will fix this.

I have a Motorola DROID RAZR XT912 which I was using with a sim card adapter but when I tried to remove it the sim adapter got stuck so I forced it out and think that something in that slot got bent now I can't insert a sim card in the slot. So what I want to know is that is there a way to repair the sim card slot? also if any one was in a similar situation like this one then please let me know if you were able to get it fixed. Thanks to everyone in advance.
I have this situation, and I am on PagePlus cellular, so it doesn't require me to have a SIM card, but I don't get 4G (I am on 3G right now), and it limits me from using Android Lollipop, as that requires you to have a SIM card to make calls/texts and use data. I don't know how to fix it though...

Every time I put in a sim card, it doesn't click in. I have tried with a T-Mobile SIM card that I cut, and that works (It clicks in place), but I don't want to risk messing it up, so I won't buy a full Verizon SIM card for the time being (I also don't want to mess up cutting it and cut it too large)
