Hi. Once every few hours, my phone will suddenly lose connection for a few seconds and say "Invalid sim card", then it will connect again. It gets really annoying, especially when I'm in the middle of a conversation. Is there a fix for this?
I have this too as well as saying sim card not installed

If you used a sim cutter to cut your sim to microsim ... it may of not been done properly
If not... try cleaning the sim contact points on both sim card and simcard tray
Hope that helps

I heard abt sim card issue on some russian forum.
Its somethig you cant know exacly till you try. I mean one sim card works well, another - not. Even of same carrier.
Its about specifications of sim.
For now is only one solution is to contact your gsm operator and ask for an available sim cards and try one by one.
Had that when I bought the Razr from the Verizon store. I reset to factory and reentered my Gmail and fine ever since.
Something had not setup right the first time.

For GSM users upgrading radio will solve the issue, just take a look at developer section & find a thread : upgrading radio, radio 85P is recommended

Many thanks. it works after upgrade the radio
I have this problem now, **** this **** ****ing whore I need my phone tommorow and now the sim will not be recognized. I am on stock 2.3.6 wtf should I do?
Does this work on Rogers Razr? Mine is randomly doing this and sometimes i turn the Airplane mode and it gets fixed or restarts. So the most viable solution would be to restart the phone... After that, it's all good again. Wondering if upgrading the radio will fix this entirely.

So, still there is no idea what may cause/remedy this ?? I would hate to send it back to Motorola although they do turn things around very quickly...
All of sudden, my phone does not detect the SIM card anymore. I inserted another good SIM card, and get the same error. I tried to press the SIM card to ensure good contact, but not working. No problem with other function. I inspected the SIM card slot and it appears perfect. The phone has never been dropped or having liquid damage.
I did the factory reset, but could not get rid of the error. Unfortunately I just travelled to oversea...
AT&T agreed to replace the phone, but I will not have any phone on the road.
I am willing to try anything. Does not seem to be software related, but...
Anyone know how to fix the problem?
Thanks.
Hey. There us a thread about this just search for it... don't think they found a solution
Did this happen while your sim was still in the phone or after a removal and replace?

My 1717D stpped working too when I installed T-Mobile radio
I bought 1717D with Android 4.o.4 on it , Kernel 3.0.8-perf-1717DTLLF4-CL793911 and tryed to install T-Mobile modem to work with Mobilicity.Ufter this update phone doesnt recognize my SIM card any more.I Tryed all 3 modems with the same results, even though I did changed modem on two previous 1717 phones before.They were with 3.3.5. I thing The problem is in Gingrbred rom this pfone has.Where can I get original Yelus factory Rom ?One more thing is strange: it doesn't show any IMEI ,Baseband shows Unknown.
The phone has ics 4.0.4. I inserted a foreign sim card while traveling abroad and found "no sim" error. Then i switched back to the att sim and found with the same error. I shall say i always use the foreign sim while oversea and never had problem with this phone before. And i always power down, remove battery and then replace sim card.
I reflashed the ics radio and still no good. I can see the imei number in setting. But the baseband is unknown. I read almost all related posts and could not find a software fix.

"No SIM" just happened to me. I recently updated to the official JB stock ROM & Note worked great for about ten days... then just quit and displayed the "No SIM" error message. I first tried just shutting down, removing & cleaning SIM, replacing & rebooting. Nada. Then tried different, fully charged battery. Still no go. Still at home tried a factory reset, removing SIM, clean, & reboot. Gave up and went to an AT&T kiosk. Rep set me up with a new SIM and I'm back in business for two days now. Rep was quite philosophical, "it happens sometime." Still don't know why.
Hello all,
I have had the no SIM issue on AT&T lately. Does anybody know how to fix this? Is it as simple as flashing a ROM or replacing SIM card or replacing the phone? I'm rooted on Hasoons Senseless QX 2.0.0. Since its basically modified stock it doesn't count as ROM change hence no fix.
Thanks,
Irish

I wish I had something else to say other than a me too, but I've been seeing it a lot myself recently. Everything I've read says that I should reseat my sim card. So I'm going to try that tonight. My local AT&T store told me that I should also reset the phone to factory defaults to solve it. Implying that some app I installed caused it.
Since I haven't rooted the phone yet, I'd be surprised if any app I installed caused it.

resetting the SIM card isn't a permanent fix, only permanent fix is put a little peice of paper between the SIM Card and the SIM tray to remove the slack and sim issue.

interesting. I'll give that a try. That brings up an interesting question though. If it's because the SIM card is physically loose, why does toggling Airplane mode fix it for me ?
The only thing that makes sense is that the SIM card comes loose, the system detects it and then puts up the message, but never checks to see if it came back.
Still, very interesting.
wow i hope that doesnt happen to me, sounds a bit worrying

yes your right that is what happening it doesn't reset itself. HTC is going to need to make some new sim card trays for everyone
Update: resteating the SIM fixed it for now

As the title says I tried to reprogram my phone to see if it might pick up new towers with *228 while on an AOSP rom, the message said it was unable to program the phone and now it will only connect with 3G. I figured I could flash a TW rom and reprogram it there, however the TW just pops up a quick message saying the SIM is programmed without actually placing a call.
Is there any way to restore LTE once lost in this fashion? I've googled but couldnt find anything, I even reverted to stock in Odin hoping it would reprogram at boot but it did not solve anything.

You're never supposed to dial *228 from a LTE phone, it screws up your SIM card. The only way I have seen the problem fixed is to get a new SIM card by either going to a store or calling 611 and getting them to send it to you.
The correct way to force it to update, instead of calling *228, is to power down the phone, pull the SIM out, power on the phone, let it sit for 5 minutes, power it off and reinsert the SIM, and boot back up. Thats what works now with LTE SIMs.
I dont know if your SIM can be fixed or you will have to get a new one before LTE will work again but every time I have seen this happen the person always had to replace the SIM.

As stated above, you never use the *228 function to update an LTE device. A new sim is the solution.
Thanks guys, replacement sim is on its way.

I take it you mean a completely new SIM card, if the SIM card has already been used (like in your old phone) and you want to use it then just insert it into the phone. If its a SIM card thats already been used and you want to switch it to a new num ber you're **** out of luck. VZW only activates each SIM once and cannot, or will not, switch it to a different number.
If it is a completely new SIM card the call VZW and tell them you need to activate a new SIM and give them the info they need, which is usually just the number on the SIM card, and once they finish with it just pop it in your phone.

Hi. Been using sense and and nonsense roms for a long time. But my phone keeps disconecting from my cellservice. Thats when i need to input my pincode to unlock my simcard. Could this be a software related issue? I cant recreate it , it just happens. Sometimes 10 minutes apart and some times a couple of hours apart. Please help. If it is hardware related i could send my phone to my carrier but i dont want to lose my phone for 3+ weeks.
Kind regards, vent

So in the same area where your signals drop or Disconnect you did swap your sim in another cell and it was working fine? make sure to use it for a day in another cell to confirm.
