**Edit -this post is in the wrong forum - should be in AT&T One X (Evita). Feel free to delete **
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
My HTC One XL has had a problem with sim detection for a while. Occasionally it will not detect the SIM,but I could fix it by turning airplane mode on and off a couple of times. But it has become more persistent, and is now refusing to detect the sim. This is pretty annoying, as I have spend a lot of time and effort rooting etc.
If I pop the sim I get the SIM not inserted warning. If I then push the sim in, that warning disappears, but after a few seconds, the SIM detection error icon appears.
What I've tried:
It's not the SIM card. I also have a One X (quad core) and the sim works in that.
Tried the sim drawer from the other phone.
tape on the sim
nandroid restore
airplane mode cycling
Is there anything else I could try to bring this phone back to life? I don't want to root the One X, as I need an unrooted phone for certain banking apps that I use.

I own a Telus Galaxy S T959D. When I updated to Froyo through Kies I started having this problem. Whenever I turn off Airplane Mode a message pops up:
> SIM car removed
Sim Card Removed. Reboot Phone.
I've tried installing nero v5 to see if it would fix it, but same problem.
Any way this can be remedied?
Have you reseated and cleaned your sim just to make sure its truely not the sim card causing the issue?
Sent from a Galaxy S far....far....away.
Yeah. It doesn't seem like its the SIM card itself. The problem only comes up when put it in Airplane mode.
Hi akumasakana,
I'm receiving the same message, "Sim Card Removed. Reboot Phone." Have you fixed this problem? Thanks.
I too am receiving the same message and my Galaxy SGH-T959D (rec'd w/Froyo updated) was just bought/activated 10 days ago. It doesn't really seem to need a reboot as the data starts to flow again after about 1 minute after I set airplane mode off.
Can this be ignored?
Hi there,
I have this Android chinese phone which was given to me as a present, no manual.
My problem is that the phone has two SIM slots and after I turn the device on, it boots and tells me that 1 SIM is missing. What happens after that is that it recognizes the SIM card in the other slot and connects to my mobile provider but the connection lasts couple of minutes and than I have no signal for a while. After some time, the connection to my mobile provider works again, but after another couple of minutes, there is no signal again.
I presume that the phone wants to switch to the other SIM which is not there.
How can I turn off this switching from one to another SIM?
Or do you have any other idea what could be causing this (regular) disconnection.
Does anybody know how to enter in boot mode (or any other mode where I could influence this switching between the cards.
The phone does not have any installed app which I could use to influence this SIM-switching.
Thanks for any help/advice

So I have a T-Mobile galaxy note 3 that I switched to a metro pcs Sim card.. The phone is unlocked and has been working fine ever since, until a few days ago. The 4G LTE symbol on the notification bar has completely disappeared. And now I can't access any internet connection or make or take phone calls, message. Etc. I thought it was a Sim card problem but after inserting a new Sim card I get the same disappointing problem. Metro PCS tried changing the ASN network connection to make sure but I hot nothing. However when I shut my phone off several times and turn on the plane mode on and off several times as well the 4g LTE turns back on for a few hours before losing connection again. Can anyone help me with this issue or has anyone incurred similar issues?

When it switches off, what does the status bar symbol look like and what does it say in Settings > About Phone > Status? Have you modded the phone at all? Gotten any recent updates? Changed the modem or rom? Could possibly be the SIM card reader itself. If so, that is an easy, and relatively inexpensive fix.

The status symbol only shows the bar icon that shows it does have a signal but nothing else except time abd battery life. I can't currently check Settings > About Phone > Status since the phone is currently running so it'll show a positive connection. Unfortunately the phone itself is my only current means of using internet (this forum). And how can I check/ fix the sim card reader?
Never modded or messed with either
hi!!
my Xperia Sola shuts down automatically when i start my phone with sim inserted. I tried to restart the phone but once I key in my SIM Card passcode, the phone shuts down again. I repeatedly trying to switch on the phone but every single time I key in my SIM Card passcode, it shuts down.
Next, I removed the SIM Card and tried to switch on the phone and it was running perfectly FINE, without the SIM Card! I was able to connect to the WiFi, all apps running well, view photos and play music, just like how it was before.
Thus, I assumed that the phone is alright and again inserted the SIM Card and tried to start up the phone. Again the problem comes, once I entered my SIM Card passcode, the phone auto shuts down, without any warning or message, the screen just go blank. Tried for another 5 - 6 times but my attempts ended in vain.
To reconfirm, I took out the SIM Card and switch on the phone again and EVERYTHING is 100% fine!
In addition to this, i would like to make it clear that :
-my SIM Card works fine with other handphones and that
-inserting other SIM Cards into my Xperia Sola ended up with the same result.
Moreover, the Xperia Sola works perfectly fine WITHOUT a SIM Card.
it also works perfectly fine if
-I did not key in my SIM Card passcode and let it be in SIM Card LOCKED Mode.
-and perfectly fine in FLIGHT Mode
Please help. I am really anxious and frustrated regarding this issue
The title says it all. Heres a brief story
1st problem, i sometimes found out that my sd card ejects itself even if i dont use files under that storage.
2nd problem, i always use my 2nd sim for calls, any number i call sometimes it ended, didnt even rang on first attempt. I didnt encounter this on my samsung phone..
The 2 problems mentioned can be solved by restarting the phone or in 2nd problem sim card can be solved by turning on airplane mode and turn off..
Is this a bug on color os? And i hope theres a solution for this because its the micro problems that is just irritating..
And i wonder if its because of my simcard tray insertion that it affects its reading for sd card and simcards.. But the fact that the phone reads them means it was inserted the right way..
