Lately I've been getting more and more error on the phone that I have no simcard in my phone. I can't remember the exact error, but it gives me option to either shutdown the phone or restart?
Is anyone else having this problem and is there a fix? or is it just the way the DHD was built that makes the simcard a bit loose after a while?
Thanks!
try to put your simcard properly in the sim holder. Make sure you put the cover tightly as well

Since I've had my Artemis occasionally after a soft reset the SD card appears as not installed. I would have to remove the battery and sim etc, replace the SD card into the holder and start-up the phone and it'd usually be ok. The only trouble is lately it seems to be doing this more frequently and it is becoming more difficult to get the phone to recognise the card upon start-up again. Anyone else experience this? Have an cure?
i've had the same problem on my magican. The solution i found was to remove the SD card and place it back. It seems to me that cardreader's contacts broken.
Its big but you must read first.

So the card is corrupt? Because when I stick it into my pc it reads it perfectly fine, no problems or slowness.
My phone has stopped recognising the card completely now, but when I started the phone in safe mode using iLauncher it recognised it surprisingly. I'm suspecting there may be a piece of software or a setting stopping the phone from recognising it. I'll have a read through that link some more tho just in case there is a solution.
If anyone else has another solution then it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Update: I've tried another 2 known working SD cards and neither of which are recognised by my device to it looks as tho its an issue with the phone and not the card. Has anyone experienced this before?
I've the same problem. I use 2 SanDisk cards, 512Mb and 2Gb, both of them seem to disappear as I boot the device. It hapens 50% of times and begins when I installed the HTC ArtemisSDEnhancement program.
I've tried to uninstall and reinstall several times and to format the crad but the errors continues at the 50% times.
When the P3300 reads the card I notice an abnormal slow response to any input and at the end it hungs for a big while. If you leave it alone it comes back but I usually need the phone now and I must have to soft reset.
I'm about to hard reset and try again but I don't have time.
Well I hard reset my device before I was going to post it back to o2 for a replacement and surprise surprise its working fine again!
That was 23 days ago and since then its behaved perfectly. I've installed the SD enchancement just in case but not certain if that's made any difference. Finger crossed its the last time the card starts disappearing.
This happens on my MDA C3 too now and again.
When it does, a soft reset does not solve it.
I have to take the battery out and then reinsert it.
After powering up the problemis not there.
Anyone know why this is happening as its really inconvenient to keep taking the battery out.
Thanks in advance.
BTW, one thing I have noticed, it seems to happen more often after a registry value change if that help anyone???
Hi, I have been messing around with this phone I got off ebay which was sold as faulty because "it kept restarting" of its own accord. I know a fair bit about this phone and how to upgrade/fix most problems but this problem is very unique and I certainly cant find anything anywhere else so good luck to anyone who thinks they can solve this one....
Ok... set the scene... After lots of messing around the current state of play is this. Without a simcard the phone works perfectly. i.e. switches on and does all the flight mode stuff you could ask it. Its perfect. However when you put in a simcard (any simcard) the phone still functions perfectly but with strange affliction that ANY button pressed makes the phone restart. That is- the touchscreen works as normal- so in theory you could use the phone without using the buttons (if you were mad!). Also, the current ROM and original ROM are T-mobile although because it doesnt ask for a sim unlock code when I put in an Orange simcard you would assume its unlocked already (I'll come to that...!). The Orange simcard seems to let the phone come on but never actually gets a signal (plus the button problem!). the T-mobile simcard works as normal but of course the buttons are a bit of a pain.
I have tried to reflash the phone with a standard Tmobile ROM which worked fine but gave the same problems as before (I suspect the seller on ebay tried something similar) and have searched through all forums etc for a simliar problem but no luck...
My Theory... I dont think this is a physical problem with the phone given the perfect operation without a simcard and almost full operation with one. The unusual network difficulty with the Orange simcard is what leads me to believe that it is problem with the SIM lock. I suspect that someone has entered the wrong SIM unlocking code (too many times perhaps) for this phone and thats why its behaving badly. What I was thinking about doing was entering the correct SIM unlock code (I have this) but as the phone never actually asks for the code; then I dont know how to do this! (perhaps there is a sequence of numbers/symbols which will activate this?). Alternatively I could try to re-establish the simlock for this phone and then enter the correct code when asked. Again, this is very unusual to have to do so theres nothing anywhere else about this problem
So any ideas on my theory- do you have any of your own???
Kudos, fame and my eternal gratification are up for grabs here!!!
Anyone? Any Ideas?
You could try a sim lock, or you could even try flashing one of the custom roms here. However, it sounds like a hardware issue...maybe the sim's circuitry is somehow shorting the circuitry for the buttons. Does the phone have any water damage? Have you opened it up to check?
Hi, thanks for your suggestion. I have tried to separate ROMs for the phone and that doesnt seem to make a difference. I know that the sim lock for the phone is not dependant on the ROM (or so I understand). The water damage theory sounds like an interesting one- it fits the symptoms. Not sure if it has suffered any symptoms. i'll have a go at opening it up and see what I can see. Assuming that might be the case- do you have any suggestions for the phone?
also, any idea how to relock the sim of the htc touch?
I would think it is more phone related issue therefore
1) change the phone Network settings to GSM instead auto or 3G.
2) try other Radio version:
furthermore if you plug the device to power does it still reboots?
Hi, tried to change the network settings (could only do this with my Tmobile simcard installed) but no change in the button problem. Also updated the radio version with no difference at all. I think this cud be a flight mode phone forever more!!!
also power from USB or wall adaptor makes no difference to the problem
Hi, yesterday i pick up my repaired Desire, they changing mobo etc due to automatic restart and display freezing, and now i go back to S-OFF install custom rom, and today i facing a another problem, i found my desire turned off for 2 times today, he automaticly shutdows itself
could be this bad battery? i have my device almost a year, or some battery contacts from the new mobo?
thx for advice
this has happened to me a few times , i sourced it down to the software i had on the phone, try flashing a new rom and see if that solves it
as i said, yesterday i pick up my repaired phone new mobo etc...
never before had to find my desire turned off i do some search and i found this issue can be caused by badly sim card inserted or if the battery have spece he can loose contact
i remove and re-insert sim card, fix battery and will see if it helps
okay try stick some blue tack to the battery to hold it in place
yep looks like there was the source of the problem
reinsert sim card and fix battery in place resolve the problem
Hello there!
All of a sudden I have encountered this really weird problem.
- My phone ran out of battery and turned off during the night
- I charged it and turned back on
- It didn't ask the PIN code
- I can't make a call now, it says Not registered on the network.
But what the most interesting is, that if the SIM card is in the phone the home button doesn't work properly. When I press it the screen flashes once and nothing else happens, it won't go back to the home screen. (S Voice works with the double press though. I tried turning S Voice of in case it makes the problem but didn't help...)
Without the SIM card the phone works perfectly.
The SIM card works in another phone.
Any ideas about what might cause the problem?
Thanks and regard,

Sometimes there is data loss due to power going off instantaneously. I am saying that by experience.
Try doing a factory reset.
