Has anyone else been having the issue where your phone says that there is no simcard detected? I'm using the insert coin rom now, but it happened even before I rooted. it's been happening a lot more these past few days. I just want to know if anyone else has been having this issue? Is there an official HTC update to fix it?

It started happening about two weeks after I got the phone. After the 4th or 5th occurrence, I pulled the SIM and used a pencil eraser (lightly) over the contacts of the card and re-inserted. I haven't had an issue since (knocks on wood).

This has been answered several times please use the search function. Posts like this are cluttering up the boards. This seems to be a design issue. More specifically the card is loose on the tray. Pop it out and put it back in. It won't fix the issue but most users have found it stays working longer.

I have been doing some searching and reading on the random reboot issue but I have not found a solution.
We are a repair/resale shop and we currently have 27 HTC Aria's that are all doing the random reboot thing. It can happen as frequently as every 5 minutes. I have a hunch that it may be an issue based on location. Possibly only in LTE markets?
I am trying to gather some feedback and see if we can find a solution to this problem. Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated.
I'd imagine the issue is probably caused by one of two things. (That is, these are the two possibilities that seem logically consistent with what people have reported about it on this forum so far. I don't even use my Aria anymore so I am not speaking from personal experience here.)
1) Change made by AT&T to their network in certain areas. Maybe LTE-related, maybe something else. Only real way to be sure about this is if someone took an Aria that works fine to a different city and it started to reboot, or vice versa.
2) Bug with internal clock. (Something similar to the leap year bug that affected the older PS3s.)

I use a Samsung Infuse now but last phone was Aria with CM7 when the phone started with the reboot hiccups. I went back to stock, hiccup, hiccup... Today I played around with it and finally got CM9 on it. It's been charging most of the day so I haven't seen it hiccup yet. And I don't live in LTE area, so that isn't it from my perspective.

I tried virtually everything, rooting/un-rooting, stock HTC Sense Froyo, CM 7 & 9, and even two trips to HTC to have the main board changed under warranty. I finally tried a T-Mobile sim card (after SIM unlocking the new main board) and the rebooting stopped! I then got a new AT&T sim and it worked, no rebooting.
What's really strange is that the phone still randomly reboots when running without a SIM. One more thing: I have two Arias with the same problem, only the other one was out of warranty and therefore was not "repaired" by HTC. The new sim cards fixed the problem - including a European sim and an AT&T sim that was not activated.
Go figure.

One more thing. Let me know if changing the sim works. Just curious to see if I stumbled on to something.

Came home today to find the Aria in one continuous CM9 animation page. More like the energizer bunny just going and going and...battery is now sitting next to the phone.

You might try turning on Airplane mode to see if that stops the reboots if you think it's LTE or SIM card related.
Alternatively you can try to put the SIM card off the phone, just to be sure.

Did this ever get resolved? I'm having the same issue. I noticed it after putting a liberated Sense rom with 2.2.2 on it that I found on the forums.
It had CM7 when I got it, but I didn't use it long enough to see the issue, so IDK. Trying CM6 now to see what happens.
Just get a new sim card. Their free!

Getting a new SIM card did not fix the problem for me.
Hi can anybody help me further cause i have a sim-card problem on my htc one x plus ... im running Android revolution hd 4.0 with stock boot image and the problem is, that on any time a day the sim card has no connection (the phone no signal) and sometimes i even have to retype the pin again to get connection ..... anybody knows this problem or might have an idea what this problem cause ???
Thread moved to Q&A. Next time you post such a question in Development area it will be deleted without comment.
Replace your SIM card or take it back to the store never seen this

I tried this method but after 12 hours i had no signal again ... only no signal ... no retype of my pin ... perhaps it is problem coming from the provider ??
I've had this phone for about 10 days. On Wednesday morning I awoke to the phone displaying a no SIM message at the top of the screen. I found this thread in the One X forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1581349
I'm guessing that since these phones are so similar construction wise the issue I'm having is probably the same. Here's what I know so far. The first instance happened after some heavy gaming. To remedy it I restarted the phone. The second instance randomly occured while the phone layed on its back. Once again I remedied it by restarting the phone. Third instance happened sometime overnight. This time the remedy was switching on/off airplane mode.
I'm rooted with bl unlocked running insertcoin 1.1.3. Anyone else having no SIM issues? If so do you feel it is software or hardware related?

it's simcard related, just pop it out and back in, also search the forum this has been brought up already

Umm I did search... Hence the link posted up above. Perhaps "one x+ no SIM" is not adequate. What are you searching on where you find the discussion that was brought up before?

As suggested in other threads, I cut out a piece of a post-it note, stuck it on the back of the sim and I haven't had the issue since.
I decided to call HTC. They are mailing a new SIM tray to try. They advised if it does not remedy the issues to contact att and have the phone replaced as it sounds like the SIM card reader itself is defective. As suggested by the rep the phone is designed to work without postit notes and something is defective which is causing the problem.

As Lloir Said this has been answered several times, including by myself. The problem is hardware related. The sim card sits in the tray loose and every so often manages to wiggle its way out. DO NOT try and fix this by restarting the phone. I am sure it will not break anything but this is not a fix in the least bit. Pop the card out re seat it and place it back in. I have not had an issue in weeks since doing this. Other recomend a postit or tape, do so at your own risk. You would feel pretty stupid if something got stuck in there.
I used a piece of a sticker and stuck the sim to the tray after getting the error for a week. This was about a month ago and I haven't received the error since.
People say to use a piece of paper or something of that nature, but I would feel pretty sketchy about removing the sim one day and the paper not coming out with it.
I was actually able to shake my phone lightly and hear the sim card rattle around. Even placing my phone flat on its back and playing music or sounds from the speaker would be enough to rattle the sim around. Definitely Hardware issue.

I've had this happen two times to me and just restarted the phone, both times happened with a couple days of each other but this was at least 2 weeks ago. Why do you not recommend restarting the phone? Is it just because its not a real fix or could it do some sort of damage to the phone?

I said right in the post it will not break it. restarting the phone does not fix the fact the card is loose hence why it happens more frequently when restarting versus popping the card out and re-seating it.
I'm S-off, running Viper ROM on DSB's Cubed 3.1.3 kernel, Eng hboot, and the new radios.
At random times, my SIM card just dismounts. It gives me no reason, warning, nothing. Everything else seems to work fine, but obviously I can't make any calls or do anything data-related.
A quick cycle of Airplane mode usually clears it up for a bit, but I just never know when it's gonna happen.
Does this happen to anyone else? And did you fix it?
Thanks in advance!

It's a known hardware issue on the DNA. Try removing SIM card, inspect it for scratches or other damage, and then reseating it fully in the phone. This seems to work for most people.
Thanks for the reply. I guess my question is why?
And if others have fixed the issue, long term, then what did they do and how did they do it?
Used to happen to me all the time. Kinda slowed down a bit, welcome to the club.

So far from what Ive seen its a software issue that HTC "fixed" in the 2.04.605.2 update... and because ViperDNA is not on 2.04.605.2 yet that might be why...
I sure hope the new base fixes it.

It's hardware and how the card interfaces. Take your card out and look at the gold connector. If there are 3 large scratches and they are deep. Get a new one. If they are not, take a pencil and lighly erase the gold to clean it. Place it very carefully in the slot making sure it does not shif and re-insert the card holder. The pins that touch the card are a lil tricky and if the card is not in there just right, they touch in the wrong place. I had this happen to me once, did what i just told you after calling htc (verizon techs have no idea what they are talking about) and i haven't had the problem since. And im still on Viper 1.1.3.

"Hardware Problem" as in a design problem with the phone itself. There is no permenent "fix" except getting a different phone other than DroidDNA. Some people have this problem regularly, others rarely if ever.
"edit" guess it might be a software issue. Smarter people than me are answering your question.
I used to have the problem a bunch on the 1.15 base since Ive been on 2.04 I haven't gotten it once...
I also used to have this problem. I took the update the day it released and have not had a problem since. *knock on wood*

SIM problem appears to be solved.
While I had fewer incidences on Viper's new base, it was still happening periodically.
When I went to Newt's Sense 5 NOS M7 ROM, it started happening every few hours!
On Tuesday I went to VZW and got a new SIM card. I haven't had a problem since then.
Maybe there was just a bad batch of SIMs in circulation at the time.

i had a similar issue where i would randomly lose signal. i'd go to sleep, wake up to a "no sim card" message. this only happened with the new radio. i went back to old radio and it was fine. i re-flashed the new radio and its been fine since

My problem is similar to those described before. I hadn't the no sim message but I got sudden signal drops and it recovers itself after 20s with any intervention it just shows preparing SIM message. I have tried different roms, kernels and radios including those roms with latest update. I'm a GSM user so I ordered a new SIM Card because mine has three very deep scratches, I've used liquid contact cleaner but no luck.
The issue is not the signal loss itself because it recovers quickly, point is it's draining battery very fast because of signal loss and sometimes people tells me they're calling me but my phone was off.
So far, I've had 0 issues with three different SIMs. I've got the 1.15 fw and both stock, and now with the NOS M7 ROM, still no problems. And these three SIMs were all cut down from full-sized SIMs, freehand using a pair of scissors. At least in my case, a high level of precision doesn't seem to be necessary. I'm just adding this info in case it helps with diagnosis/elimination...
Okay so first off I love my One. It's great, best phone I've had.
I'm having a few problems recently and I need to know a plan of action here.
Main problem is that I CONSTANTLY go into NO SIM mode and lose my service when the phone's screen is off. then it takes forever to get it back.
I thought it might have been because of the battery defender I got when it was free for app of the day but I uninstalled and factory reset and nope it still constantly happens.
Second problem is that when I am talking the other person sounds like a robot and I have to hang up and try the call again to see if it will work. Sometimes it's find sometimes it's just awful.
Third I have a dead pixel and it drives me up the wall!!!
Okay so I have had the phone since mid April so I'm not sure what I should do?
My phone is with Telus. Locked, Stock everything is normal.
Thanks in advance!

Well for the first take out the SIM card and clean with an eraser. I've been having the no SIM problem about a week ago, and after cleaning the SIM contacts, it hasn't happened since.
Second, I don't know, I don't have that problem.
Third download dead pixel fixer from the PlayStore, and run it a couple of times to see if it can fix your dead pixel issues. Hope I helped at all.
