I have a problem where my sim card is not being detected, I opened the phone to see( out of warranty) and noticed there is a little black 'switch' on the sim module which is broken( it has come off). My guess is that when the sim card is inserted it triggers that switch. Is there a hack around this? My only other option is replacing the module but I'd prefer a more cost effective way.

Hey , I have had my desire a few weeks now. I have a problem with it.
Every time i make a phone call or accept a phone call the phone will switch to speaker phone. This happens before i put the phone up to my ear so it is not my face that is turning on speaker phone. If i hold the phone in my hand and dial a number and press call, it goes to speaker phone. If the phone rings and i answer it, it will always go straight to speak phone.
Has anyone had this problem?
My guess: somehow your phone thinks it's charging/docking. Check your connector for dirt.
If nothing else helps you could try this app (actually a widget) in the Market:
Car Mode
With this you can turn the speaker phone mode on/off. Unless your phone has a hardware problem that forces it to be always on...

The connection seems fine to me. I will put a can of compressed air to it tomorrow. Cheers

I tried the app.. Unfortunately it didn't work. I may have to send the phone back to htc.

Don't bother before you flash to stock ROM/do a full wipe (factory reset). If none of those work, it's likely borked
Hi all !
I have been stuck for 2 weeks on this issue.
I have tried all those things :
- Switch off and then switch on the phone
- Remove and reinsert the battery
- Remove and reinsert the SIM Card
- Clean up the USB connector (and there were lots of dusts inside)
- Hard reset to the factory settings
Nothing has solved the problem.
BUT I have found a SOLUTION and also a process to see if you have the same problem as me :
1) Create a shortcut on your home screen and add this shortcut : Shortcut -> Parameter -> Car dock (the icon is a padlock)
2) Click on this shortcut and enable Auto start feature
3) A little car icon will appear in the status bar if there is a short circuit at that moment
4) Take your mini usb cable and plug it into the phone usb connector (without connecting the cable to an electrical outlet nor your PC, we don't want to charge the phone, in fact it doesn't matter but I advice you to not charge it during the process)
5) Now track if the car icon is present, if it is, just move up and down and left and right the cable to check if it's not a hardware short circuit like it is for me (!!). If the car icon appears and disappears during the process while you are moving the cable, then it's a hardware short circuit problem (nothing to do with some kind of software bug as mentioned by some people).
To fix the problem permanently you have 2 choices :
5.1) Take your phone back to the shop
5.2) My solution if you are a lazy man like I am : use the cable to twist correctly the male connector (the one inside the phone) to the correct position. For me the correct position was : lay down your phone on a table, screen upwards, you must twist the connector upwards too. The direction to twist the connector is from the bottom (the table) to the up (the screen) = If you take your phone in front of you and you are looking at the screen, twist the connector towards yourself.
I have fixed the problem this way.
I hope you will be able to fix it too.

Hey there,
while I'm still getting used to my first smartphone, I am surprised not to find some standard features that even my old benq siemens delivered:
-for security issues i'd like to limit my phone to only use the current sim card - is that possible? currently, it also has no pin code, only the one of the sim - where could I set the pin code for the phone itself?
-is there a chance to adjust the vibration of the phone? I hate ringtones, my phones are nearly always on vibration, but the desire one is almost not recognizeable. I am wearing the screen side towards the body to protect it from breakage, so it is even weaker than normaly...
there was more, I just can't think about it by now - i'll keep adding
thx so far!
and i could use a longer tone for the kalendar reminder - maybe one that just stops when a button is pressed instead of this second long tone - is there a chance?
and how about the other options i'm missing...am I blind or is this little wonder missing the simplest things?
thx
nobody an idea?
If your phone is running Froyo (Android 2.2), you can have a pin lock when you unlock the screen: go to /settings/security/set up screen lock/PIN.
yeah, i know, but seriously - who wants to endure that each time he unlocks the screen?
Can't believe that there is no way to simply have a pin assigned to the phone as well as to the sim...
You only have to set up the PIN once. You'll just have to slide down and enter the code afterwards.
Or get a Nokia 3310!
Hello everyone!
I explain my situation:
I broke the screen of my phone (Xperia Arc S LT18i). So I used a tutorial to change my screen ->
During reassembly, I had two problems:
- The main micro phone does not work anymore (so I ordered the circuit 3 buttons at the bottom of the phone where the mic on ebay, I think it can necessarily come here, because no groundwater is damaged ).
- I can no longer activate the WiFi (I tried to reboot lots of times, but no results). When I go to Settings, WiFi menu is grayed out so I did not hand over the activation of WiFi and when I go into the WiFi menu, it stays on "Turning on WiFi." (same as the micro, no groundwater is damaged!)
I wanted to know where could this possibly be, and whether there is a complete nomenclature of the phone to find out where the module WiFi Hardware level.
Thank you for your answers
I have tried to remove that kind of cards from the lockscreen (even just getting rid of that Airplane mode one is enough), but couldn't find anything.

Anyone knows of some way, like an xposed module or something?

I have a problem with the clip tray function and I hope someone here can tell me what is going on.
While using my phone sometimes the clip tray starts without me copying anything and it pastes random numbers to the tray. then closes. I then open clip tray and see numbers like 1,15,18 copied in different boxes in the tray. I can delete them and solve the problem but why this happens I have no clue
