My HTC ONE X now cannot detect SIM card. does anyone have similar problem?
When I insert a SIM, the phone show SIM card or the SIM Card cannot be detect.
I have tried three different cards, all with the same issue.
I am in Canada, and the phone is the HK version. Can I still contact HTC?
I have rooted the phone via htcdev.com. Will they charge alot for fixing the phone?
Thanks
Either the phone needs to be GSM unlocked or you may have a hardware problem, meaning the SIM slot is broken or came in pluged

And htcdev.com doesn't root htc devices it unlocks the bootloader. Make sure your not putting the SIM card in backwards or upside down

Oh, yea, I meant unlock bootloader.
I think there is only one way you can put the SIM in and insert the tray.
Will HTC charge for unlocked bootloader device like this defect?

You mean to repair it? I would try to get it repaired locally. Are you sure the phone isn't just locked to it's original carrier? If it is unlocked you need to consider how it was unlocked some methods of unlocking can void warranty, also check that site to see if it says any about voiding the warranty. That if you really want HTC to fix it and good luck with that if you do, they more then likely they will want you to file a warranty claim through the original carrier which you don't have an account with. Let say they did let you send it in, they may just sent it back saying warranty voided because of customer abuse if there is any physical damage to the SIM card slot.

I am sure it is an unlocked one. I can get cell signal sometime with my SIM, but a minute or two later, the "Cannot detect SIM" error message pops out. I guess there is lossy connection.
I will try to find a local store see if they can fix it first. Thanks for the advice.
And if I want to buy the parts for reading the SIM on ebay, does anyone know what it is called and what should I search for?

You can also try bending the sim card tray so that you get better contact with the pins in the reader... Be VERY careful if you do that, the sim try is made of very soft metal and can brake very easily.

Thank you guys so much. I think I have fixed the problem. No signal drop in the last 30 minutes!!
I opened the case today,however I forgot to take out the SIM card tray. When the case was apart, the tray was already very bended. I carefully bended it back a little (not completely flat), and randomly messed the SIM card reader up a bit with the pry tool.
I booted up the phone without the case, and applied gentle force to the SIM. AND IT WORKED.
After closing the case, I still got full signal strength.
I hope this can permanently solve the problem.
Thank you guys for the help!

SIM card Tape and Untape
Hello everyone,
This worked for me and it may work for you.
As this thread suggested, I applied several layers of clear adhesive tape to the back of the SIM card. I was nearly unable to re-insert the SIM card and the train into the phone.
After 3 days, this did not fix the problem.
Next, I removed the tape from the SIM card and re-inserted it into the phone. Problem solved!

have you ever though, might actually be your SIM that is defective instead of the phone?
it's extremely unusual for a phone SIM card slot to be defective twice
have you tried your SIM card on another phone?
Ugggggggh.

I've been told that samsung won't replace phones ,IDK
Why have you still not replaced the Sim card when everyone is telling you that is probably what it is?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
its not my sim card. i put it in my bro's s2 and it works. other sims dont work. they said its the sim prong reader thats messed up. i dont have the reciept so i cant do it through tmobile. i already sent it in to samsung. when it came back, the sim was a little loose in the tray. its probably that. cuz the sim trays not broken. it keeps reading searching.
you can put a little piece of paper on it to keep it in place
also make sure you did put the SD card facing out
the cut corner should be facing out, not inside
Where did you buy the phone from? Did the Sim ever work in the phone? If it has, and it's not a used phone, T-Mobile's system will automatically see the warranty in the system.
Otherwise, if you have the php bundle on your T-Mobile account, T-Mobile will replace it under warranty anyway...regardless what the system shows for warranty information.

So I just got my Galaxy note 2 grey..
I thought out of the box its unlocked..
Ive popped my micro sim in and it keeps saying NO SIM.
Ive tried air plane mode, turn off wifi then reboot.
Pop the sim out and pop it back in and factory reset..
Ive paid for unlock sim and it didnt work (unless i did something wrong)
Ive rooted it..
Ive called AT&T 6 times and they dont know what to do..
Please guys help me out. Im phoneless and i need your guys help on how to get my sim to work!
My only guess is that its a faulty phone. if it is can i send it in to get a replacement from samsung?
Have you tried to put the same sim into another phone? One of my old sim has died on me before

I got it off a guy it was sealed so its not his fault i think..
Its from Hong kong for sure. im side loading the drivers and bought SRS to try one more time to unlock..
If that doesnt work im not sure what to do.. contact samsung and replace?
Open phone, disconnect simµ reader, clean connector properly and connect again, if that don't help U that mean U have to replace reader.

If sim locked means, phone won't give No sim message. It's just sim issue, check with other device or get new sim

Actually I put my sim into a sim locked phone over the weekend and it did say 'NO SIM'
What is the language on the phone box say?
HK phones might not be locked, but who knows whether your seller was reselling it from a country which does have sim lock phones.

Couple days ago my beloved Bell E973 wont reay sim card.
Here is what happed. the original from bell, but I bought a unlocked code to use my Rogers sim. It's working perfect for 2 or 3 weeks. I love the screen. personal I like it bettter than S3.
I did not root or unlock the bootloader and one day when I put sim card in, it just said NO SIM. I tried with bell sim. same
So I rooted and tried all kind of ROMs, even F180S. that's fun. but still wont read sim.
If anyone buy it as a parts or want to fix it. let me know. I am in Toronto
You tried to re-unlock it ?
Also, if you flashed korean firmware, your radio will mostly be gone.
no really to re unlocked it, since I tried my friends Bell sim. doesnt work

It's still under manufacturer warranty
Sent from my LG-E973 using xda app-developers app
Two things about your phone:
I may be interested in it for parts, depending on price of course. Mine has a dead spot in the digitizer, and as I bought it second hand, LG won't warranty it for me. I'd not want to spend more than the price of a screen/digitizer assembly, so it might be worth more to someone else.
Have you tried a different sim in it? If the phone is unlocked, try a friend's sim card, maybe your sim just died. Edit: missed your reply about trying your friend's bell sim
Have you tried a hard reset?
Have you tried reinstalling the original rom, using the original KDZ file and the "unbrick" method?
Can you browse internet, play store, or use any program with data connection via wifi?
- first, it might be the unlock procedure did it. I had 2 out 5 devices ran into this scenario after doing a factory unlock.
- second, but unlikely and super scarce situations, Bell might have locked up your device's IMEI that caused it. I got one relative that the carrier locked up his phone after doing a factory unlock.
My Rogers E971 stopped recognizing SIM cards yesterday. It is unlocked/rooted. Hoping I can reroot/lock bootloader and send in for warranty service. Still trying to figure it all out.

Optimus G sim card inserted or removed all the variations of the device automatically restarts.
Did you notice this situation?
Inhabitants of this problem, removing or inserting the sim card would not open the device?

Woo911, you have used wrong title for your thread thus eliminating people who might know a solution to your problem to ignore the thread, inability to read the sim doesn't mean your device is bricked.

How they blocked, when I check phones IMEI I can see it, so T-Mobile can actually blocked the phone so people shouldn't use it? is that mean I can use Att Sim card?

Yes t mobile can block the imei if the phone has been stolen or not paid for completely and the person stopped paying installments on it they can block the imei. But no this does not mean you can use it on att unless you unlock it or flash as people call it

I had a similar problem with my old Galaxy S2 and it turned out to be a bad Sim card slot. You should go to a nearby cell phone store and have them check it. It usually costs around $30 dollars to fix. You can also check if its a bad sim card by inserting it on a different phone and see if it gives you the same error.
Honestly tmobile would of helped more if you bought it from them. While yeah it might be a simple sim lot issue or maybe your putting it the wrong way who knows lol. By guess would be you bought it from a person and they messed it up then try to sale it to you, but really if it was from a store just get it replaced.

Lol... not at you, just.. the irony in it. But yeah, even in that thread, just like you, one of the 'solutions' was just that in time it simply goes away.
Hopefully thatll be the case here.
Have had the phone a few months now but the sim errors have been in the last few weeks. Sprint tells me its not a known error for the note 4 but the web says otherwise. They say just reboot the phone and your good to go.
When i had sim errors with my g2 it was the slot it sat in. I ended up with two g2s in 4 months time.

I had this happen too. I didn't root right away (I got the phone launch day in US) but soon after rooting it started. And it came back again after the NK2 update.
I used a strip of 1/4" kapton tape to hold my SIM card in place. But first, I powered down, removed battery, held the power button down a bit, grounded myself momentarily while holding the phone, removed the card, cleaned it with a micro fiber cloth and reinstalled it. The tape was applied following all the angles of the slot and battery slot. Since that day, no more SIM card errors.
I wouldn't recommend trying to modify the slot or add thickness to card. Those slots are sensitive. The tape simply holds the card in place.
If the SIM error ever comes back, I'll go into chat and ask for a replacement.
