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
Today out of the blue my sim card stopped working.
1) I tried the simcard on my friend's phone, it works fine!
2) I tried my friend's simcard on my phone, it worked!
So for some reason my phone rejects my simcard.
I got desperate and decided to do a factory reset which didn't help.
My phone is running stock android and it's perm rooted.
I have no idea what to do. Any suggestions please?
Thanks.
If you sim stoped working talk to your mobile provider

My sim card works on other phones, so I think it's something else.
Oh... sorry I misread. It must be a defect or something. Have you tried flashing other roms. If it keeps happening get it replaced

So I spoke to tech support and they said they will send me a sim card free of charge this time. But the guy informed me that my phone is burning the sim cards because it wasn't designed to work with HTC devices, so it's reading the simcards improperly ending up damaging it.
He said I need to modify some code on the phone so it wouldn't burn the sim cards.
Any ideas?
Now the sim card suddenly started working........... that's too odd.
After not paying my Vodafone bill for a few months, i got disconnected.
As my mobile contract is ending next month i decided to switch over to three pay and go, as they have very good deals available.
I received my new three sim today and tried it in an old Samsung D500 as it is unlocked and my Touch Pro 2 is locked to vodafone.
Well the D500 wouldnt pick up the three sim card, just an 'Insert SIM' error message.
After alot of tinkering with it i though 'F*CK IT'. I'll whack the sim card into my touch pro 2 and see what happens.
To my amazement, the Touch Pro 2 fired up and started downloading connection settings from three to the phone.
HOW THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN?
I know for a fact that when i got the phone it was locked to vodafone!
Now its accepting any sim card i insert
Any ideas as to why this has happened?
Just interested as to why.
Thanks guys/gals
Hard SPL'ed ?

Hi,
I'm guessing since you are running a custom rom that your device is Hard SPL'ed ? I dont have O.R.D. , so im no expert here , but I think as a result of that, your device is now Sim unlocked .
I know this because i paid for a sim unlock from a respected developer on here who was very helpful , and when i started to run the application, it proceeded to Hard SPL my device . I have to say I hadn't expected that, and promptly pooped myself (i think i mentioned already I'm a ROM virgin ).
Anyway, everything went fine, with no unfortunate side effects, except my phone is now Sim unlocked, and ready for flashing should I ever desire to do so
Regards
Garrickus
Well hey, IM NOT COMPLAINING
I always thought that H-SPL and SIM lock were 2 different things (as a custom ROM/H-SPL is offered free, while phone unlocking on here is at a price)
Its just great i didnt have to pay for it
I bought my note 4 on launch day. Ever since then I've had an "unable to detect sim card please restart phone" error. At first it only showed up once every few days, but now it is getting more and more frequent and is happening multiple times a day. After reading starting the phone works fine for a while. I've done everything I can think of (pulling the battery, pulling and re inserting the sim, cleaning the sim), but nothing helps. Anyone else having this issue, or know of a solution? Thank you.

I am having the same issue. Not sure of a fix yet but it is getting more and more frequent which worries me.
Same here. :sadface:
Same here! Anybody contact Samsung or Sprint about it?
Same here!!!
Just got my note 4 from Amazon.com. I had been reading about the lte to 3g call drop issue, and someone posted using there sim the card from the phone they were replacing fix this issue. So I put mine in from my s4 before i even turn it on for the first time. The phone worked, but was unable to connet to the 4g (lte / spark ) network. 3g worked fine. I got the message you all are getting (no sim, restart device....). It would happen like every 10 minutes. Once I put the sim that came with the phone in , all my problems went away. Long story short, you need another sim card.
I just called sprint and they are sending me another SIM card. It happens from time to time, but they did tell me if it continues, I can get it replaced for no charge.

This happened after my sim card swap. It would say "network did not respond in time" then "could not detect sim" then phone would reboot. It did it three different times. Then connection became stable and has not done it again. Not sure if these issues are the same as whats happening here. Just posting my experiences.
I actually bought 2 N910P. I planned on making a little extra money by selling 1 of them, but didn't count on the N910P being so easy to get, so I've held onto the other one for a back up until I found a ROM that I wanted to run on it. Well, I found a awesome ROM & booted up my 2nd N910P & got the message you have all mentioned. I thought it was strange, so I rebooted & got the same message again. After doing this a few times, I thought why not take my SIM card from the 1st N910P & put it in the 2nd N910P. I still got the same message after doing this, so I swapped them back before it messed up my primary SIM card. @Yoshi1221, please keep me/us updated if the new SIM card works for you. Has anybody else got a new SIM card? Also, after installing the 2nd ROM that I was trying out, the fingerprint scanner stopped working. I went back to stock & it still doesn't work, so I made sure that I did a full NANDROID backup on my 2nd N910P in hopes that once I get it working & the fingerprint scanner stops working, I can go back. Anyone else had this trouble?
Edit: I tried to activate my new GN4, but the DEC & HEX numbers were not recoginzed by Sprint.com. So I went into chat & they informed me that it had been turned over to technical support & to contact them again after 24 hours, so we'll see where it goes from there.
Update: Chatted with Sprint & the lady activated the SIM card after giving her the number. Hope this will help out. Just go to Sprint.com & click on the chat button.
Looks like new SIM card is working, but just got it today, seriously had to give up an arm and leg in order for sprint to send me one, but so far it looks like it is working, but just got it today, lol

Cool, glad it work out for you.
Also found out from a supervisor in the U.S that sprint is now selling GSM phones now. If you take out the SIM card and only receive 3G, you have a GSM phone, if you take out the SIM card and have spark/LTE, you have a CDMA phone

I had this problem. Sprint sent me a new sim. Fixed the problem for a few weeks but it has returned. Anyone ever get this figured out?
Sim card not found
I had forgetten about this error. Saw that someone suggested a piece of paper between the sim and case cover. I had this happen with a phone I got off a forum. Sent it back and got a replacement. The paper, no matter how thin or thick may or maynot work, and only for a short time. Changing the sim might not work either. You may just need a new phone. I went through all with a s4. Now my note 4 is doing it. I thought it was my recently deceased (July 4) mother was messing with me. One more errand to add to my list for today.
same here?
help plz
Hi guys,
Don`t know if it happened to anyone else but maybe someone can help me.
I bought an LG H815 from Vodafone UK > 2 years ago and unlocked it with an ebay code. It worked just fine until February this year ,1 month before expiring the warranty. I sent it to LG UK and got replaced by a new one.
The new one was also locked I unlocked it again using an ebay code but after few days I started having problems with the signal.
I was getting a message "no sim card" and my phone restarted.
First time I thought that the sim mooved and I put it back but it kept on doing like this.
The thing is sometimes is working for a few hours sometimes it`s not working at all.
Tried different sim cards same thing happened with the phone, tried my sim in different phones was ok.
I also did a factory reset but nothing changed.
I asked the guy who sold me the unlock code and he said it might be the sim bracket.
What should I do ? Should I try to flash another kdz or to install Lineage ? Or simply go to a phone service ?
Thank you very much for taking your time to read my post.
