I tried out a new sim card with an adapter nano to regular and all was good, then swapped back to my regular sim and the phone doesn't recognise the old sim card?
I've tried factory reset didn't work
Trying recovery now
Stuck my sim card into the tablet and it works fine.
Weird thing I stuck a virgin one it works and a three network card also works but will not accept my old sim card again?
The phone was bought unlocked and sim free had it for three years only thing done under warrantee was a USB socket that snapped but HTC did fix that?
Any suggestions or is it just time for a new phone?
Thanks

I have a s740 and i use to use it all the time, well i broke my screen and got another phone. The other day i found a screen on ebay and replaced it. When i was finished i put my sim card in it and it worked for a little while, but when i restarted the phone it stopped working. The phone knows a sim card is inserted, but wont recognize centennial wireless service. Could it be that i have to unlock it again?? Please reply if you have any tips
I think the micro sim is somehow stuck inside the slot? Is there anyway to remove it? My phone reads the network fine and I dont have any problems, but I was going to swap between a blackberry and the razr and I'm having troubles removing the micro sim.
So you can push on it and it doesnt click to come out? Are the sims the same? I went from one phone to a different and they were not the same size.
I used my tablet (Galaxy tab 10.1 P7500) with wifi only for almost 1 year. Recently I bought a SIM card (regular, not mini SIM) for using 3G with my tablet. It worked for about 10 days and then stopped working. Surprisingly, when I took the SIM out and tried to use with a phone, the SIM failed to register with the network! My operator told me that the SIM has been probably damaged and replaced it with another. In another 10 days I am facing the same problem again!
I wish to make these clear:
- I inserted the SIM properly into the tablet as per the instructions. I had not removed it thereafter. So, there is no probability of damage.
- In both the instances, the SIM looked perfectly all right. Not even a scratch!
- My operator swears that the problem is with the tablet and it does something to the SIM and makes it non-functional.
My questions:
1) What is the possible reason behind this?
2) Can the tablet work with a regular SIM?
3) Can the tablet damage a regular SIM with 10 days of use?
4) Should I use a micro SIM?
5) Will the problem recur with a micro SIM?
Any help will be highly appreciated! Thanks!

1)dust or movement of the card
You can use only the same size of sim as you had, the size doesn't matter, it just need to "seat" right
Try: buy a fresh new eraser for the old school pencils and gently clean the SIM card - only a new eraser so you won't damage it, don't push too hard, this way you remove any small parts on it that could block it.
Eject your SIM card only when the system is shut down. and restore it in shutdown mode again.
Be sure you turn your wifi off before shuting down so you could initialize the sim at boot and see if you got conection.
Good Luck.
HI GUYS, Im having an issue with my phone(HTC dna) that is getting beyond frustrating. I got the phone like a month ago off of something it worked fine for the first week..then one day randomly stopped reading my sim card.. Im not a total dummy so ive done and ruled out the obvious , my firmware was verison 4.09.605.4 I just updated it to the current one. 4.09.605.8 so i ruled out firmware being an issue. i then went to amazon and bought the new board were the sim card attaches and the audio jack attaches i just installed that yesterday and still nothing!!. I even bought a new up sim card tray still no.. when the sim card TRAY isnt installed i get a message when about a im card not detected ,ect. when i push the tray in that message goes away which indicates it is trying to read...but in the corner you see a sim card with x through it which means no sim card..I've replaced my sim card 3 times just to rule out that but my sim card works in my other phone just not this one.. When i first got this phone a month ago it worked fine!! no troubles.. Im on the ATT go plan..i put my sim in and nothing..but now it just doesnt work..ive tried hooking my phone to my computer and opening htc sync manager and tried doing the repair and nothing ive litterally tried and ruled out most of the obvious, Is this a known problem with these phones? Can anyone please!! help me with a solution i want this phone so badly..i love this phone!!..ill be waiting for replies..hopefully someone can drop knowledge to me! thank you!
I switched over to straight talk and had the same thing happen for awhile. Changed the tray and still didn't work. What ended up straightening it out for me was either resetting the apn settings or the new sim card i got. After I did those things it worked fine.
Hey everyone,
I am an owner of a G3 but I switched my mobile service provider recently. When the new SIM card arrived I switched them but my G3 did not accept / see the new SIM card and there was no possibility to type in my PIN. I ordered a new SIM but the problem remained with the new SIM card. So I tried a lot of other (working) SIM cards from different other service providers but also no luck. So I thought maybe the phone has SIM lock and I tried another SIM card from my old provider but it also did not work.
The weird thing is that when I put in my old SIM card the phone appears to be accepting the SIM card. The PIN prompt appears normally, I can type it in, the phone accepts. There is just no reception which is normal because I switched the service provider. I also tried a factory reset, also no luck. The phone was rooted but I unrooted and resetted it. Is it possible that I broke something because of root?
Other than this problem the phone works perfectly. Has someone an idea or some experience with a similar issue and knows if it is possible that a phone accepts only one SIM card?
I have no idea what the cause of the problem could be and I am really running out of ideas ...
I would be very thankful for any ideas or suggestions!
Thanks,
Patrick
Or did maybe someone have a similar experience with a different phone?
Thanks!

Hi again,
I tried some more things but still nothing helped.
The things I tried were:
- unrooting the phone and factory reset
- reflash radios
- try completely diffrent rom (CM)
Still I have no idea what the cause could be. Maybe the sim card reader is just broken. Just weird that it reads my deactivated sim card.
I would really appreciate it if someone has an idea or some similar experience..
Thanks!
