So I have the Virtuous ROM 1.31.3 installed and just recently today I am having an issue with calls.
When have been making a phone call recently, the call cuts out for a couple of seconds about 10 seconds after the start of the call. The message appear right in the place of the call timer and says that the SIM card cannot be found. I dont know the exacts because I never see it long enough to right down the words.
Any ideas?
Any one? *tumble weed passes by*
Virtuous does not support GSM and it won't show your SIM. If you are in the USA, the SIM has nothing to do with it on a CDMA network.
Yeah, I fully understand that as I have read pretty much the majority of the ROM op. But that is why I am confused and the issue is still happening. Still cutting out and telling me to insert a SIM card.

I don't know what to do. I checked the similar threads to see I already tried most of them (factory reset, clean, reflash etc). The phone is unlocked and rooted (RCMix3D). I don't think the phone's SIM card reader is the problem though because when I put the SIM card in, the phone immediately gets a message saying "Unable to read SIM Card" so the phone knows that there's something there. When I reset it though, I get the "No SIM card in phone" error. I also can't go to the Mobile Network settings because they're greyed out. Does anyone know what to do?
By the way, the problem just came up out of nowhere. Never dropped it or anything like that.
Tried a different sim?

Default Re: "No Sim Card in Phone" Error
SIM card might be loose, put a small piece of paper or something thicker to lodge the SIM card in. That`s still not right though, call HTC for a replacement.
My advice try this..
How old is your SIM?
apperently if it is pre-2009 it's not always compatible with new phones (I base this info on no scientific evidence whatsoever )
A friend of mine got his desire S and he experienced the same problem. The carrier's helpdesk sent him a new SIM and now he is all troublefree! Might give your carrier a ring, maybe they're aware of this problem
Sorry if concidered spam did search recent threads and no results.
Iv missed a very important call tonight from my work, the call went straight to my answer phone and was only notified with a message saying about new answer phone message, the phone did not ring! This has only happened this once to my knowledge but the significance of the call is huge as I'm on call to attend alarm activations etc over x mas. My phone is at full volume for all notification.
Im on Orange and live in the UK and on Android revolution rom (4.0.2) stock kernal. Maybe the networks are busy as its x mas here I don't know, at the time I of the not getting this call I was playing gta 3 if that makes any odds and no I did not dis miss the call by accident as I would've definately noticed the call on screen not the game. I had wifi and data on at the time.
Now iv changed to 2g network only and to auto change networks as the phone wants to, although I already live in high signal area.
Would be interested to hear comments, advice or if this has happened to others.
Many thanks and happy x mas xda'ers

The only thing I can think of is maybe your phone dropped cellular connection briefly at the time the call came through :/

Hi Guys,
I'm having a similar problem...
I'm missing/not receiving many calls or text messages and am only alerted to the fact when a contact messages me through Whatsapp to ask why I'm not responding.
Quite often (a few times each day) my signal bar looks like this...
The only way signal returns is if I switch the phone off and then back on, which is a tedious process after having encrypted the phone which takes a couple minutes to get it back 'on'
I previously used a micro-sim (ex iPhone 4 user) and an adapter, the network (o2) suggested that I use a new sim (full size), which they sent to me. This hasn’t cured the problem however.
Is my phone faulty?
I followed all the steps that I could and am still unable to unlock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024514
my phone is originally kodoo (t989d)
The owner that gave me the phone claimed that it was unlocked but I am uncertain and am on the pessimistic edge of whether that is true or not. When I insert a SIM while the phone is off and then turn the phone on it does not ask me for an unlocked code, and never has even after starting up and using the phone, but the notificationas area gives me the message that 'network locked sim card inserted' .
Everything up to the point where I have to enter the #???# code works fine but when i input that code nothing happens ever, no menu opens up or anything. when I press call it says 'not registered on network.
The radio I have is t989uvle1 and the kernel is 3.0.8-perft989dtllg2.......
Honest to god I have been searching the forums since 12am (now 8 hours) and am just completely lost. I dislike posting like this because I have to wait for replies but in this case I really cannot find anything.
I have read recommendations of flashing a tmobile rom or changing the kernel or something but am really clueless on how to do this and have tried flashing random 4.1+ roms to no avail. can anyone shed some light and set my in a right (and very specific) direction. what the heck is going on???
Are you able to make phone calls with the new SIM card?

Someone answered this in the other thread you copy pasted this to.
You need to have an ics rom and stock radio. Or something like that.

Hi all,
I have been experiencing this issue for a couple of months now and and it seems to be getting worse.
Every few minutes, my phone will not be able to send / receive calls or use data, and then a message "Preparing SIM card" will pop up. Some times it will take 2 - 3 rounds of the "Preparing SIM card" message before all connectivity starts working again. The signal bars are always full before, during, and after the message.
Quite often I will be trying to place a call, and the number will look like its dialing for a couple of seconds and then go back to the dial pad. After re-trying to dial the number 4 - 5 times, the "Preparing SIM card" message will pop up, and then the call will be able to go through.
I feel this is a software issue rather than hardware, because there is no physical intervention required to make it work. I am also using a replacement SIM card just in case it was the card itself, but no difference.
Thje phone is a HTC One X International running ARHD 33.1. I have done a full wipe of all partitions and re-installed from scratch as well, but still same problem.
Any ideas or help appreciated.

Tried this option today. Did not work unfortunately.
Is there any result for this Problem cause i have still the problem and no solution for it...
Me also suffering from this problem. Am using ARHD 33.1. @denkem helped me very much to resolve this issue but no luck If somebody comes up with the solution, plz share.
I have been reading some really scary things regarding Sim Cards and viruses or malware or whatever and am wondering if I should change my sim card. A part of me thinks that the idea of a Sim card being infected is silly, but at the same time, I really would not know, lol.
If I were to upgrade my sim card...
Would it put my unlimited data at risk? (Verizon)
How would I go about changing my Sim? Could I use the sim that came with my note 4?
Also, should anyone even worry about their sim cards? o .0
SIM cards are free at corporate stores and you will not lose your unlimited.
Just take your phone in and ask for a new SIM. If they ask why tell them you've been getting errors or something. It takes like 5 minutes if there's no wait.
I don't think you can do a SIM swap online but you probably can by calling customer service from a different phone
Edit: If you call CS for a SIM swap make sure you have your other SIM on hand for the ICCID
Ah.. I see!
I actually tried to do a sim swap at home because google made it seem simple; however, it never worked to my knowledge. At first, I popped in the sim and it said that it was setting up, but never finished. While my phone was trying to activate with the new sim card, I went to the verizon wireless website and tried to activate my phone there, but could not find my phone listed in the section with previously activated phones. I did not try the option to activate a phone that wasn't registered already and just backed out. I did not - to my knowledge - see any screen indicating plan changes so I'm assuming that I did not do anything that could compromise my plan(?). When I dialed the number for activating sim cards, it went to the visual *611 screen and claimed that it did not recognize my number and asked me to log in to my verizon account. After doing so, nothing seemed to happen and it just sent me back to my home screen.
In hindsight, I probably should have stopped after it asked me to log in to my verizon account, but I suppose now all I can do is wait and ask questions to ease my anxiety x_x

You have to call that number from a different phone. Your phone doesn't hold your phone number so just popping a new SIM won't do anything.
You could try to do the "activate device" thing online but I don't know if there's an option to use a different SIM.
