Has anyone else had a recurring issue where the One V won't recognise their SIM card until they restart it a few times? I'm not sure if it's a ROM problem or if I should get a replacement unit.
Any way to debug and pin it down to software or hardware?
Solved my problem. If anyone experiences this, your SIM is a bit old. I went to my provider and got a new 128k SIM. It looks very different to my old one and works every time with the One V.
Just seems the phone isn't as compatible with older SIMs.
Yeah this happened to me too.
Got an error message too that the sim was not recognized and the phone had to be rebooted.
Just started working on its own after a few days...
We have that issue with all our One V at my store. All we do is a reboot and it will read the sim.
Had that with my past 4 pieces of one V (all returned to shop) because of this issue. I've replaced my old (~3 years sim) with a new one from 2012 but apparently, Orange doesn't know what 128k sim is xD. So I was forced to drop my 5th model and get my money back. Oddly is that my first One V (that had factory problems - light leakage, sensor problems) had no problem with my old sim card.

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)
I have just one big gripe with the hox and that is that a few times per day the sim card is not recognised anymore and I have to reenter the PIN. In the known issues I saw it mentioned. Does anyone know if my device is at fault or if it is a sim fault or some software issue. (the problems occurs with both stock and custom roms)
Get a proper sim and try it.

the sim is a proper sim microsim, I just bought
I just got a new sim, had to get all upset and angry at the Vodafone store to get it without having to pay for it but the problem still persists
no one has any ideas on how to fix this? or even if my phone is defect or if it is a software bug?
No one with this problem? Today it just happened about 6 or 7 times in a row, I tried to reboot the device, even turning of fastboot but the problem persisted; The device felt warm (just warm, not hot) and the battery seems to have drained a lot with most of it drained by screen (42%) but also mobile standby (23%) with 21% left.
I have the opposite problem mine is all the disconnected and connects some times
I think it might be the same issue, which carrier are you on?
I'n On Maxix Malaysia
Is this the same problem?

no, I am losing sim and therefor connection but the problem is with the sim, not network per se.
Hello, i have a very strange problem with my one x. I have two vodafone micro sims and both of them work in a different phone.
The problem is only one of those sim cards work in my one x :s the newer one is the which isnt working.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Jake
Its possible that older SIMs just dislike your phone (or vice versa), your carrier should be able to replace the SIM for free or for a small fee.
As BenPope said before, just contact Vodafone, they will send you a new one within a few days. They are very obliging in there.
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!
I lost my P3XL on a accident and recently, after 8 weeks, I got it back when someone found it laying in a Bush near the place where the accident happened - it's summer time fortunately and except a little dirt the device is fine, everything is working and no water damage!
The person who found it saw the emergency information and brought it to my address, big luck!!! 8 weeks outside, 3 times heavy rain, the fabric case it had was moulding but the device itself is just fine, crazy!
When the device was lost I locked the Sim inside the device via the provider's homepage, so I got a replacement SIM a little while later... The usual stuff what people do in situations like this
Now the problem I have is the new Sim, the provider told me that it's a new generation of Sim and the module on the Sim looks different, it's silver and the module (chip on the Sim card) has a different setup, the lines are very different! According to the provider (O2 germany) the Sim uses less electricity than the previous generation and unfortunately it's not detected by my device at all, no reaction, nothing, like there's no Sim inside...
- I reseted the network settings
- factory reseted
- upgrade to Android R
Nothing helped, however the Sim is detected immediately by my 3 other Android devices and the Pixel detects all 4 Sim cards I tried, it's only the one Sim I have a contract with that makes issues. The provider sent a new replacement Sim which looks exactly like the previous one and is also not detected.
I don't think it's in relation to the weeks it was laying outside as it's only this specific Sim card, again, the card works in all others device and the Pixel 3 XL detects all other Sim cards I tried...
I luckily found a provider that offers eSim so I could register at least the virtual Sim to make calls and have data (I wanted something that is prepaid and where I can leave every month and is not to expensive, it's 'simquadrat' now)...
It's like the hardware is not capable to detect certain Sim cards with a specific module (chip on the Sim).
Any ideas, someone else with this specific issue?
Interesting problem. Do you think the provider has blacklisted your device on their network due to the supposed loss of the phone? The sim needs to detect the IMEI and perhaps that's become the issue?
