Hello guys,
My Desire HD fell today, since that SIM card isn't recognized. I tried to fix the problem, picking up on duct tape and taped around the sim card to get thicker but this isn't a solution. I need help because its the only phone I have.
Many thanks,
Maybe your SIM Card is bricked? :crying:
Do you already tried Reinstalling ?
Maybe its Magic. But I think you have to let it repair by a Profi.

SIM cards do go bad from time to time. All you might need is a new one. Go to your carrier and replace it, its free.

Hello guys,
I think it's not sim-card problem because I can use it on other phones.
I've done a restore of the phone, but same problem.
I don't know what can I do to fix this problem.
So, I bought a new Samsung Galaxy SIII and I use the same sim-card as before. I really want to fix this problem because I want to give my phone to someone.
Cheers,
:good:

If it's brand new, maybe you need a new sim or a new mainboard?

This. If the SIM failed in the new phone, I'd try a new SIM.

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.

how did you know it's a brand new one ?
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?

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.

Hi all,
I would like to know if it is possible to replace the GSM antenna on my wildfire. If yes, does anyone know or has anyone managed to do it? Any help would be appreciated.
Extra info:
This is my first post. I have searched xda-developers for a problem similar to mine but am fairly certain that there is no info on it here.
So here goes, a few months back, I broke my HTC wildfire after which even when I plug in a working sim card, it shows no signal.
When I took it to a repair shop, they said that the antenna is broken n there is nothing else that can be done other than replacing the phone.
However, if I put in a sim card of another carrier, it does recognize it and asks for an unlock code because my phone is locked to a specific carrier.

i dunno pal, i get the feeling that it may be soldered to the board. and tbh your phone if network locked,it would come up saying you need an unlock code for different sims even if it couldnt get a signal, as it is software related.... now if it GETS signal with a sim that is a different story, but i wouldnt hold out much hope for it sorry bud.
Okay, so I got my Galaxy Nexus today... went to put my SIM card in, and it refuses to acknowledge it. I thought maybe it was due to a very old SIM card, so I went in to T-Mobile, explained my situation, and they replaced it with a new SIM card free of charge. Problem is... the Nexus still REFUSES to read it. It keeps saying 'No SIM/Emergency Calls Only'. Help please?
Is the phone new or used? And do you have warranty? It could be because of the phone
It's used. It came pre-rooted with AOKP on it... I was thinking this might be the problem? So, I'm in the middle DLing the GNexRootToolkit to return it to complete stock, and see if that helps. Any other thoughts?
are all the pins there? If any of the pins in the SIM slot are bent or broken, it won't read the SIM.
I also find it hilarious that people buy used phones without knowing for sure the SIM slot works (one reason to only buy locally for used devices). I personally will never buy a used phone that is also rooted/unlocked/ROM'd. I don't wanna get some hand-down phone that's been messed with. If they can't be bothered to return it to stock, I won't buy it.
Okay, that seemed to fix it. Thank you for the quick replies!
Can't believe you bought a phone without checking if it worked. Smh. Well, glad it worked out for you.

what was your fix? i'm having a similar issue here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1707311
Hi forums,
I recieved my Galaxy Nexus i9250 european GSM/HSPA+ Version today (Just the tether-slave for my N7 and a phone obviously) but now I have the problem that it won't read any SIM i put in it, I've tried 2 Vodafones and 1 T-Mobile (all 3 are working perfectly fine on other Phones) the problem is that it won't know if it has a SIM in it or not, I don't have to enter a password when I boot up or go out of airplane-mode, I can't connect to any networks or change APNs and I can't change the SIM-PIN (no option for that)
What I've tried so far:
I got it with 4.2.2, I've flashed 4.3 several times, did factory-resets, OEM-Lock and unlock, flashed a few different basebands. I also tried to bend the Pins a little bit upwards, they definetly have contact with the SIMs.
I have no idea what else I could do, I have about one year of warranty left over, should I use it or is there a way to fix this issue?
Thanks for your time and help in advance!
Greetings from germany.
The SIM tray is busted. I'd get a refund if I were you.

Indeed it was, 3 whole pins were missing! I just took the pins from an old phone and soldered them on there, now it works but That's only a temporary solution, I ordered a whole new Sim-tray and will give the phone to a friend with proper gear for this kind of stuff (really annoying to try and do it with a big soldering iron...)
Warranty might be screwed now but I'm not sure if I would have gotten a replacement at all, I guess not but anyway, I waited two weeks for this baby and didn't want to send it away again but I don't recommend doing this at all
Thanks for your help!
Oh and BTW I figured out what might have caused that, I used a micro SIM in a mini-SIM-Adapter, not such a good idea since this makes the card much thicker, I think that killed it. Ordered a new Sim as well.
hello guys, today I got a new HTC Buzz for my sister that I bought from China. The phone was very nice but
when I put the sim card inside, it didn't catch the signal. I have tried different sims and any solution so far.
I was thinking on installing a different stock rom with a different radio maybe this could fix the problem.
Have any of you had this problem? I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks

You need to check if the chinese model you bought actually supports the frequencys for the area you intend to use it in. Use gsm arena .com to check your model against tge support frequencys of your carrier.
