Hi im not sure if this is the right place to post this but here goes. I smashed my screen last year and it was completely none functional. My brother attempted to replace the digitizer and the display can be seen as per usual, however there were a few problems which occurred after the refurb which i need help with. Initially both sd and sim card reader were not functioning but after buying a new seem card sd card socket, the sd card is now operable. The seem card however is not. I've tried a new sim card and still nothing. Also the motion g-senor also isn't working properly, e.g. when i tilt the phone it doesn't display at all in landscape.
Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

I hooked up my Desire to my PC as a usb drive and somehow it has corrupted the FAT table on it
Is there anywhere I an get an image of the original SD Card as it comes with the Desire? Obviously I can re-install music/videos etc, but I'm afraid that not having the original data on the card will screw up the apps.
Any ideas?
No it will not. Nothing essential on the original microSD card.
Excellent! Thank you for that.
I actually got most of the files off the card using RescuePro, but they're named Raw0001.dll, Raw0002.exe, etc, but it means I can recover the htcsync.exe and the pdf manual and suchlike.
Thanks again for your help.
I have a Sandisk 16Gb microSD card (which has outlasted one blackberry phone without the slightest problem) and have found that the Desire has on three occasions so far deemed it to be corrupt - with the only option is to format!
Having only music it hasn't been too much of an issue - but if and when I start storing app data such as satnav maps etc I am going to lose my adoration of this phone pretty darn sharpish.
Has anyone else had any sd issues?
Hi, I got my Desire on Friday, from mobilephonesdirect. It seems to be virgin branded phone and I am experiencing the same problem with SD card, it keeps saying the card is damaged and needs to be reformatted, or it says the card is new and needs formatting. I thought this was because it's meant to be a T-mobile phone and possibly the sim is messing the card??? Don't know this is all new to me.
If however the phone is virgin and working on a t-mobile sim does that mean it's unlocked? In which case I shouldn't return it just because of sd card.
Thing is, I don't know if there is something wrong with phone for not accepting the card or if there is something wrong with card?

Hi, I got my phone from carphone warehouse on T-mobile last month and it came with Virgin Media icons as well. I have had no problems with SDcard but replaced it straight away for an 8 Gig I had waiting for it The 4 Gig card has now gone in the mrs's blackberry and seems to be working fine.
The original 4gb card is collecting dust on a shelf. The 16gb replacement is a tried and tested card. Here's to hoping just an unpleasant hitch.
Mine's an unlocked device from T-Mobile.

Hi all,
I dropped my HTC Desire last week and broke the LCD screen. A replacement one arrived today and I swapped out the old for the new. Delighted to see my new LCD come to life. However, my delight was short lived as the SIM card would not be read. Tried my SIM card in another phone and it worked and tried another SIM card in the Desire with the same error message. So, I messed up somewhere along the line, more than likely with the flex cable part? Anyone got any tips on what I could do to see if I can get the SIM card picked up? The SD card slot is working fine - was able to boot to recovery and browse it, restore from backup, etc.
Any help appreciated, I'd hate to have to replace the phone having fixed the LCD screen.
thanks.
OK, so I've searched these forums, and various other forums, quite extensively to solve my problem here. My buddy purchased an ATT Samsung Galaxy S3 off of a friend. He unlocked the phone, using the free method mentioned within these forums multiple times (entering digits in to the dialpad, going through menus, etc..). With that, he was able to use his T Mobile Straight Talk SIM card to use Straight Talk's services. On a suggestion from me, I told him to save some money, and switch over to T-mobile directly.. get the $30 a month plan. He did.
When he set up his sim card from straight talk, he had to cut it to fix the S3. It worked fine, but when he removed the sim card, he thought he could have damaged the sim card holder. Lo and behold, inserting the T-mobile sim card is netting a "No Sim Card.. Emergency Calls Only" message. I believed possibly he unlocked his phone improperly, based upon the fact that, apparently, per these forums, Straight Talk doesn't require your phone to be unlocked? Regardless, we re-unlocked the phone, using the free method mentioned within these forums, but still the sim card doesn't recognize. We tried my t-mobile sim card, which works fine in my nexus 4, and that didn't recognize.. but his sim card DOES recognize in my phone. We tried a verizon sim card, and that doesn't recognize. We have NOT tried an ATT sim card, but he's going to do so shortly, to see if that recognizes.
Thinking this could be a software issue, I wiped his phone's cache, data, etc.. and reset the phone to factory defaults. Still the no sim card error. So he bought a new sim card holder off e-bay, removed the back, removed the old sim card holder, put the new sim card holder in.. still no sim card error. Still doesn't work with any of the sim cards we've tried.
I then wiped the phone yet again, rooted it, and installed cyanogenmod, thinking possibly that it was software related still. Still, no sim card error. I took the phone apart, cleaned the contacts with a q-tip and denatured alcohol, cleaned the motherboard, cleaned the plugs for the sim card holder... still no sim card error.
So as far as we can tell, the phone is unlocked, rooted, has been tried with a custom rom, stock rom, and the stock rom that worked perfectly fine one week ago. We have replaced any potentially bad hardware (although, potentially, the new hardware could ALSO be bad I suppose). As far as I can see, this is not a software issue, nor is this a hardware issue.. yet, it still doesn't work. I'm really out of possible solutions at this point, and I implore the help of these forums to give me a lead or something for what can be done. This is a nice phone, and my buddy's not that well off; he can't really afford anything other than a flip phone, and he spent a good chunk of cash on a glorified tablet at this point. Please help! Thank you!!!
EDIT: I also tried cramming a piece of paper in to both the old sim card older, and this sim card holder, to ensure the contacts are touching properly
So about a week ago my note 2 started to not recongnize my sim card and so i went to the local store to see if my sim card had broken so he gave me a new sim card and I put it into my phone and it still says no sim inserted. So i assumed it wast the reader that had gone wrong and i bought the part to replace and one i had and looked up a video on how to do it. Well i think i did it correctly as nothing else on the phone went wrong but it still says no sim inserted even with the new reader, so now i am pretty clueless as to what the problem could be. Is there anything that i can do to fix it or is it more internally like the motherboard or something? Any suggestions or comments are much appreciated.
Thanks
I have a problem. I started getting a no sim card error awhile back and if I played around with my sim card for a little while and put tape on the back it worked. Eventually though it just quit. So I ordered a new sim card tray and put it in but in the process I broke the clip on the daughterboard that holds it down... So i ordered the daughterboard as well and have installed it and EVERYTHING works on the phone except the stupid Sim Card work. I have actually tried two different new sim card trays because I thought maybe I had a dud. I have also gotten a new sim card and tried it out in other phones.
I have the latest Skydragon gpe rom installed on a stock At&t phone any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I have the same problem, try the original flex cable between the main and daughter board.
