I used my phone a few days ago then put it on a shelf. The battery ran down and I left it. I then plugged it in, turned it on and left it to charge. When I came back to the phone it said 'No Sim' or similar. I have taken the battery out, cleaned the connections, taken the sim and memory card and done the same then put it all back. For some reason the phone will not recognise that I have put a SIM in there. I do not have another SIM to test but why would it suddenly stop working? Could this be a radio problem?
I am running Oops Black v1.0 WWE Rom WM6.1 CE OS 19949 on an XDA Orbit.
Thank you!
Please...anyone...help?
I cant call my girlfriend, friends or family I have no money to buy a new phone and O2 have said that becuase its out of warranty they cannot help.
I have tried flashing the phone with a new ROM but that has not made any difference. I managed to test the SIM earlier on another phone and the SIM works fine. Must be the phone.
You just need to hard/soft reset until it picks up the SIM. I was just having this issue with my Kaiser and you just need to keep puttin the sim in and out until the phone picks it up. Also try putting the sim into the sim slot and pushing it down onto the contacts.

Thank you for the reply. I have tried doing that but with no luck. It still does not like the SIM

I broke and replaced the screen in my unlocked upgraded flashed-ROM wallaby and the unit now starts up and reports invalid SIM.
Is there any solution or should I re-flash the rom again and see if that works, hope for the best?
Try the SIM in a different (unlocked) phone, to make sure the SIM isn't fried. If the SIM is fried, you can get a new one from your provider. SIMs do get fried sometimes -- it happened to me a couple months back. Fortunately my provider (Cingular) has a shop just down the road from me, and they burned a new SIM in 5 minutes.
I apologise, I should have said
Sorry, I should have said, it does work in another machine and as I said, it did work immediately I used the xda flashing process to upgrade the ROM in this very unit before I dropped it.
Everything else in the new ROM seems to work which makes it infuriating that it wont recognise the SIM. I even tried calling T-Mobile and asking them if they could see the SIM on their network and they couldn't.
(I even have one of those SIM copying devices they send you free for some unknown reason when they want you to upgrade your service to some kind of higher level SIM card. I was wondering if I should try to use it again but as mine does work, this, like the whole copying device, seemed a bit academic)
Ok When I Turn My Dash On Now I Get A Screen That Say ..sim Card Is Missing Or Is Invalid...i Even Tried My Wifes Sim Card Does The Same Thing...any One Got Any Ideas...my Other Dash Works Fine.....please Help I Tried Reboots And Different Roms...etc...still Does It Seems Like The Phone Isnt Reading My Sim Card..the Phone Is Only 1 Month Old..
Are you sure the phone is SIM unlocked? Or if the SIM card is the right one for the phone? There's really only one correct way to insert a SIM card....Are you sure this isn't an ID10T error? PEBKAC error maybe?

What network do you have, and where did you get your phone from. I can try to help you out from here just let me know the network and where you have your phone from. Also tell me if the phone is tmobile branded (if it says tmobile on it in the front).

I have the same problem. When I was running WM6, I would get this error multiple times throughout the day and I'd have to turn the PHONE function off then back on or sometimes I'd even have to do a soft-reset to get my Dash to recognize my SIM. Now that I have flashed my to Kavanna's WM6.1 I only get this error once a day, but I'd like to know how to stop it from happening.
Network: T-Moblie
Bought From: Ebay

Sim Unlocked: No

Thanks in advance.
If you have not exchanged your SIM in a while it could just be that the SIM is old, yeah it happens. It is free to swap out your SIM card at any T-Mobile retail store. I had this problem about a year ago and I simply went to T-Mobile and they gave me a new SIM (they just copy the contents of your SIM to a new one and program it with your number. Solved my SIM error message.
Also your SIM may be inserted wrong, it could be dirty (the contacts can 'gloss over') or there is dirt / dust in the SIM holder.. blow it out.
If all the above fails then it is the device, if under warranty have it replaced.
I had the SIM card replaced by T-Mobile about a month ago and that solved the problem for a couple of days, but now it's back. I made sure it is aligned right and clean.
Any other ideas?
I am using the Dopod version of this device on T-Mobile's network. My sim worked fine for quite a while, but now most of the time when I power the phone on is does not detect my sim. Sometimes it will, but later I check my phone and see that the sim is no longer working. I've tested other sims, and the sim is not faulty. I've also flashed a few different roms to see if I'd have any luck and did not.
Maybe the sim is moving out of place??? Something like that used to happen with one of my older Moto Q's. I used a piece of paper to keep it in place, maybe you can try that? Just a suggestion!
Something strange happened to my Artemis, I was charging the phone with the original charger, whilst the phone was turned on.
I may have left it charging a few hours longer even after the charge light turned green.
I removed it from the charger, then it intermitently displayed no service, and then searching for network, and remained in service for a few minutes and then it repeated the whole process for about 5 - 6 times and then it displayed "No Sim"
The sim card works on other phones, but no matter whatever sim card i put into the artemis, it still cannot detect any of them.
I tried bending the contacts up a bit to help connection, and even tried slipping paper behind the sim card to push the sim card into the contacts more
nothing worked, I am not sure what else to do other than re-flash the rom,
has anyone experienced similar problems, please. I really want to get the phone function/sim detection working again.
Cheers
Change simcard i have the same problem with my XDA Orbit ( HTC Artemis)

how long have you had the phone? if no sim works i'd of thought the phone has had it
mine started going funny as i was switching between o2 and orange sims a lot, after a while it had difficulty finding the sim, but always worked after inserting/removing the sim a few times
i had my phone warranty repaired with o2, considering i'd already renewed my contract was surprised they still did it, but 2 years is 2 years warranty thats the only thing i can think of?
ive had this prob with my orbit,i ended up hard reseting the phone for it to recognise the sim
Hey, I have my One v for about half a year now, and it worked perfectly with one sim, few weeks ago I changed to a different service provider, and the sim worked fine too.
Few days ago, I look at my phone and the bars just start to disappear, until it got to a state where I couldn't receive calls, SMS, surf the 3g web and so on. This morning (and yesterday's evening) I had bars fro few minutes, then it simply showed the name of the provider in the notification area, now there's just "no service". I tried swapping Sim's with my sister, which has the same phone - my sim worked on her phone, her sim didn't work on mine.
So my lucky guess is that the sim slot is dead, I wanted to know if there's any solution I should try before sending it to a store to find out wat is happen, or I should just do that and forget about it. Also, if the sim slot if dead, how much will it cost approximately to fix it?
Slot may not connect - maybe it's time to use "toilet paper solution" (as originally named for Nokia N900)? You should make piece of paper the same size as sim card and insert it with SIM card to slot to hold it with connectors and disallow separation. If not working experiment with paper with other thickness or size. Try this one and say about any changes.
And try with prepaid / old card
it may seem obvious, but have you already tried cleaning the sim slot by blowing all the dust out of it? that used to fix this sort of problems in my dumbphone.
Which nmforu
I owe my life to trees everywhere. Thank you dskowronski! it worked! tried doing what you told me, second time it worked - then I tried without the paper and voila!
