Hello. I'm new to this forum and I hope s.o. can help me. I bought xperia S but it seems that it has an issue with the sim card. The phone is not locked to any operator, it works fine most of the time but the problem is that sometimes the phone says SIM card is removed or no sim card, so I have to restart it. Sometimes I have to reboot ~10 times to get it work. When it says sim card is discarded, and I really discard it, it says SIM card removed, restarting.. and vs when sim is plugged while phone is turned on. It seems that the phone itself knows when there's a sim card inside. The sim card is working fine, tried it in another phone, everything went fine. Usually this problem happens when the phone gets hot (while playing games or capturing video, etc..). I don't think it's because of the sim slot but who knows.. Tried phone repairing and updated with latest firmware, but no success. The phone is not rooted. It seems to be a hardware problem, any suggestions?
Sending it for repair may be your final option.

Yes, I know that but it will take about a month to fix it and I am not sure if they can fix it either.. It's a second hand phone, maybe the first owner tried to root it or did something wrong while updating or sth? Because it's not logical to work excellent and undetect the SIM when I start more applications and the phone gets hot. How can I reflash it to stock ROM so if there's anything wrong in the file system to be fixed? Someone here had exactly the same issue but my sim card is brand new, 2 weeks old and working fine in other phones. EEK!
Take it back to the shop you bought it from and ask for a replacement?

I have the same problem. For me it helps, I use only the back button and than it`s ok for me.
Oh! Me too.
I think there have a problem in SIM card. But now i know that all of the people cause this problem. So this may be because of Handset. How can i Repair ??
How did it go?
I have the exact same problem, and seems a lot of people are getting it on new sony phones. I have an xperia S too. Did you found a solution? Thanks,

Hi, is there any ways to change sim without reboot on Desire HD.
I'm changing them very often, but restarts are so long.
Any suggestions?
Hot reboot or switch off boot animation and bootsound if they are seperate.
Gotta ask, are you rooted?
Sent from a dream.
Hm.. good suggestions, but I'm recently returned to stock, because I don't have much time to update custom roms. Is there any tricks for stock?
Nope, phone shuts off after it detects a SIM removal.

I am told it can also fry your sim card to do this.
Nope, my SIM still works fine

For now it is. Removing and replacing SIMS while there is power being run to it and info being used not only has a chance of messing up your sim but it could also mess up your sim port, making it not read any sim card so be careful and you should always shut the device down before removing any cards from the device.

happened to me once. Had to get a new sim.
Reboot when SIM card inserted
Hi,
I am sorry, this is not really related to this problem, but I have a serious issue with my DHD concerning SIM card. Just yesterday I accidentally left my phone in my car when I went hiking. When I got back after few hours, the phone was really hot, I cooled it down a little bit and tried to turn it on. As soon as I entered my PIN code, phone rebooted. I though it might be because it was still too hot, so I let it sit for a while, then tried it again. Same thing happened. After few tries I found out, that this onle happens, with SIM card inserted and the phone reboots just as it finds reception. Phone works fine without SIM card inserted. I tried factory reset and re-installing currnet ROM. Is there anything I could do to fix this or I have to take the phone to shop.
Thanks for answers
I would try a new sim card before I tried a repair. Sim cards are actually kind of fragile.

I tried two different ones. The other one is definetely fine. It wasn't in a car, I used it in the same phone before and it is two weeks old, so I am afraid it is a phone issue.
Sounds like. Sorry to hear. Could be the sim port.

Sounds like that, hopefully they will be able to do something about it in the shop.
Im sure they can. The thing I never figured out on the DHD, was how to get it apart.

Yeah, hopefully it won't be too expensive. I just asked if someone had the same issue and they fixed through software co I could fix it ASAP. I am on vacation right now, so having no phone is pretty nice, but there are still some situations where you need one.:laugh: Thanks for tips anyway:good:
Has anyone run into this issue?
I'm using the North America generic R800a firmware, rooted, and has been the same configuration for about a year.
But now, all of a sudden, the phone randomly doesn't feel like seeing the sim card.
Restarting the phone fixes the issue. I've tried re-seating the sim card, but the error still randomly occurs (every day).
I had this problem but on my play it just showed x instead of reception wherever I've been. So I couldn't call, text and stuff.
Solution?
Go to your network provider and ask them to replace sim card with a new one.
For me it worked and our xperia seem to kill our sim cards after time. It may sound weird but few more users on xda had this problem. I'm quite sure it's not rom/kernel related cos I was so desperate that I've changed everything to stock as I would just got new xperia. Difference? My play just popped other error with similar meaning. Please post back if I have helped or is it something else.
Tapped with Xperia Play running AOKP 4.0.4 Milestone 6
Could you tell me has it worked?...

i have an xperia play 4g r800at that isnt reading the sim or sd card. it is completely stock. im assuming it is the reader that is bad as it seems it is the same part that is reading both cards. so i ordered a replacement part off ebay today. i havent found a guide on how to replace it. so i guess i will just have to figure it out. ill post back if this fixed the issue or not after ive replaced it. sim card reading issues seem to be common with this phone...this kind of issue should be fixed by sony ericsson as a recall or something.

If it makes you feel any better, this issue has randomly disappeared for about a month now.
However, I've since dropped my phone and shattered the screen, so will be replacing the digitizer this weekend.
Good luck/bad luck!
Hey guys!!
I have searched and researched this problem but havent had any solution. I am just hoping anyone of yall can help me out. I am having random reboots on my sony xperia arc s and i have tried many different things
- flashed another rom
- flashed another kernel
- went to stock
- bought another battery
and still there is random reboot!!!
and so finally i decided to buy another phone and i am using another phone right now and I was playing with my sony xperia arc s phone and it did not reboot. as I realized there was no sim card and maybe that was the problem.....
so i inserted a sim card to the xperia arc s again and there it was it started to randomly reboot!!!
I think i found the problem so now I need to know how to fix it....
Can you guys point me to the right direction?
Thank you
Well, maybe your simcard is somehow broken? Did you accidently scratch it or bend or something?
If you have some other simcard lying around, try if your phones behave the same with that one. (Or ask a friend to shortly use their card). I the phones stop rebooting with other cards, go ask your provider for a new one.
I already tried several sim card and several rom and even tried stock rom but still as soon as i inserted the sim card a restarted the phone within a minute it started to random reboot.... but if i remove the sim card then it becomes normal no random reboot...
do you think baseband is the problem i really dont know i am desperate right now.
Is there any space between the sim and the battery? The sim might be pushing the battery down a bit, so it breaks the connection between battery and phone.
I had random reboots and solved it by pushing the battery up against the connectors with a piece of paper at the bottom of the battery.
put a peace of paper btwn your battery and device .. hit thanks of i helped

Hello,
Yesterday i got this little beast (c1905) and i have a strange problem that i believe it is hardware related.
When i touch the area of the sim card either with the cover on or off the phone tells "Sim card removed. Restarting." and it is rebooting. The sim card fits well and by observing the area i can't see any fault. It is a little annoying when i use the phone in horizontal mode where sometimes unconsciously i put some pressure in that area.
Is this a known issue or mine is problematic? Anyone faced anything similar?
Any idea how i can solve this?
If i don't find anything that can help me i guess i will have to go back to the store and ask them to fix it or replace it...
Rather than that i really like the phone.
P.S. My sim card is new, i had the normal sim so with the phone i replaced my sim card as well.
I am having the same problem.
i thought because i rooted my device that is why it happened..

yes I'm having the same problem... i don't know why..!!
After downloading marshmallow on my LG G3 D850 everything seemed to be in order for a good week when one day randomly in class my phone gives me a "SIM card removed" notification. I shrugged it off thinking I can fix with a simple restart but the problem priests. I'm positive it can't be a problem with the pins or the SIM reader because at random reboots it would detect my SIM card but either read it as invalid or it ends up working for some time and then the problem comes back up. I tried factory resting it a countless amount of times and I figured out when it does work , I can't download apps or use things like Bluetooth or airplane mode without the problem coming back. This is very annoying and I reached a breaking point, is there a way to fix this? I can't seem find a method to root D850 on marshmallow meaning I can't downgrade. Does this mean I'm screwed?
Same issue
I'm having the same problem, but my phone started showing the "invalid SIM" or "SIM removed" messages while still on Lollipop. I updated to Marshmallow and it persisted, did a factory reset and it's still there, only thing i haven't done is rooting the phone, i've been having this issue for the last 3 weeks, it used to sporadic but today my phone has restarted over 15 times and now it's pretty much a brick.
Only thing that seems to make the phone stable enough to use i to switch off the data network and turn on wifi, i can make calls but as soon as i'm out of wifi range, all i can do is make calls...
I'm pretty new to this but I think this has to be a software issue, i already took my phone in and the repair guy told me, after cleaning the phone and checking the contacts on the SIM card tray that the LG G3 was coming in more and more with the same problem with no repair...
Checking online it seems more and more people are having this problem lately.... coincidence?
Has anybody figured this out????
"Sim Card Removed"
Same issue here on my lg g3, D855
Im also having the same issue have you found the solution
Has anyone found a solution to this?? Its happening to my phone
Same issue D855, but I use the marshmallow version since the first release.
The problem emerged without notice.
What happen?
Notification and message, to screen, "SIM card removed."
The phone automatically reboots.
Snap the signal for a little while, everything works for a little while.
Suddenly loses the signal and does not hook more mobile radio signal and I have to restart.
Sometimes it does 4-5 times a day, other times remains in use 24 hours without giving me any problem.
Already warned assistance, I have to send him assistance in their view, my warranty expires Oct. 6 (no contacts, because they are in plac, cleanest and most sim warheads)
Tested official ROM and also mod (FulmicsROM).
if you look for the "SIM card removed" message there will be other topics also on XDA for G3
I too started having this issue since yesterday. Any solutions?
I have the same problem for about 5 days on my LGG3 D855. My phone is rooted and running fulmics 5.3 ROM for about 5 months. I did a full recovery and I even changed my sim card but the problem is still there. Does anyone knows what's the problem?
Has anyone managed to fix this yet? I have a D852G with Vidéotron. I find it strange that this is happening right when my 2 year contract with them is up. Has downgrading the phone worked for anyone?
It seems to be an ongoing issue related to hardware. Most readings I've done from other forums, reddit, etc all point to the sim card reader beginning to fail. I can't for the life of me tell if that's the issue or if it is really software related.
I've opened up by device and checked the soldering connection points, everything seems fine (to my untrained eye). Putting a small cardboard/paper cut out in the sim card slot seemed to help, but otherwise, jeez.
same here. but on LS990. Tried KK, LP, MM roms. but no help. I don't know whether it's hardware related.
Same here... Tried MM and now nougat, same problem..
Will switch sims today and see what happens
I'm suffering with this issue also. D855, fulmics 6.7.
Mine seems to go into "No SIM Card -Emergency Calls Only" sometimes just randomly when the phone is on, but almost every time I switch my battery it does it (bloody stupid piece of crap). It's so annoying as I'm eating 5-10% of a freshly charged battery by frantically restarting my phone till the sim card becomes active again. I think it may be hardware related but this issue arose after the MM update for me. I can also report that my SDcard port doesn't work (keeps randomly ejecting) and hasn't worked for nearly a year now. But sim card still worked fine.
It's forcing me to feel the need to spend money on a new phone. Money I don't have right now! Money I don't really want to spend as my phone, other than that, is perfectly fine. Anyone had their sim+sd card reader replaced and still having this issue?
Let's bust this bull**** problem!

I gave my phone to a repair center and checked the sim tray. It's all good. They suspect the signal ic must have the issue. Furthermore they said even though i replaced it, chances of getting a roasted ic is still high. I don't know what to do.

You sure? Maybe you meant the G4? G4 has cpu problems
I've been having the exact same issue guys ??... and again phone surface temperature rises as phone keeps on rebooting to detect sim card... Anyone with a clue or solution to this yet???
My 2.5yr old G3 (D855) always on Kitkat 4.4.2, also suddenly had this problem, at first I thought my 18yr old sim card finally bite the dust, but then when I changed to a brand new sim, it happened again. Then I factory reset the phone, worked for a few days, then it happened once more, so pissed. Maybe it's just me but it seems like it's an international trigger or something to make all G3 users it's time to change a new phone. Going to buy alcohol later to try clean the contact points to see whether it's a hardware problem.
so guys, i totally unscrewed this G3, opened the metal acess doors to both the cpu and Nand Flash memory and wiped with methylated spirit... since then, my phone has not said anything about an invalid card
