For months i used my MDA compact without a sim card. But today i tried to use it. I putted the sim in, and started the phone up. Then it goes "searching" and *plop* phone death/off after finding the network. I start it up again, same story. What can be the problem? software? hardware? :shock:
anyone?

I have a Qtek 9100 running the latest ROM and radio, etc on the Cingular network. The other day I get no signal, and reboot do not fix the problem. I take the sim card, and put it in a different phone. The other phone gets a signal, but says I can make emergency calls only. After about an hour on the phone with a Cingular rep I agree to drive to the store and get a replacement card. The replacement card fixed the problem. 4 days later, I am back to the same problem. The cingular rep is now blaming the phone after they can't figure out whats wrong. He is telling me the phone is "Zapping" the sim card. I find this hard to believe, but has anyone had this problem before? Has anyone ever tried to do an RMA with Qtek? Any help would be great, as i'm ready to put this 9100 on ebay and be done with it, unless an RMA with Qtek is worth it.
Happened to me last week with my 9100 (still running the original ROM). Got a new SIM and it's been running fine since.
i've had my 9100 rom on my 8125 for acout 2 weeks now without any major problems. the only problem I have is that it switches back and forth from gprs to edge a lot, but it doesn't bother me.
have you tried to reflash back to the cingular rom? it couldn't hurt.
I actually am running the Cingular ROM. I already replaced the SIM card 4 days ago, and it worked for about 4 days until it broke again. It doesnt make much sense, because something has to be corrupting the SIM card. When I ran *#*#364#*#* GSM utility, it would give me no data at all. Obviously the SIM card is dead (But still reads contacts on the SIM), and reauthorizing it does nothing to restore it. I will get a replacement today and verify the SIM continues to work in a different handset before I put it back in the 9100. Also I plan to factory default, and upgrade to latest ROMS etc before I try it again just in case. If anyone has any other ideas, let me know. Thanks.

Aqueous, very much the same problem here. I got my Qtek9100 yesterday and I am connecting to Cingular. When I switch on the phone it takes forever to latch to network. The
Y.
Y..
Y... keeps happening for ever and ever. But once, it latches it stays on to it firmly. If I put the sim in my old phone Nokia3230, it just connects to cingular with a snap as soon as the phone is switched on. When I tap on the " Y " region it shows "searching...". I also tried doing a manual/automatic network detection in settings. During the time the "Y. Y.. Y..." keeps going, the manual detection of networks doesnt show a single network in the list. I dont know what could the problem be, since the sim just works perfect in old phone.
By the way, what does

do ? Can you let me know ?

Sorry for the second post so soon, but I decided to give it a go and popped to my O2 store and get an XDA Exec. I took the XDA home happy, set it on charge, gave a good 10 hours, and upon trying it don't seem to be having much luck - I've tried searching without much luck (either get nothing, or loads of results that have nothing to do with it) so I'd appreciate any ideas.
I booted the XDA Exec up, expecting to be presented with the screen I've read and seen about many times, where you choose between Personal, Basci or Corporate. Instead, I got only two options, just Basic and Corporate - no personal :?
Thinking maybe it was just a different thing, I then let it continue loading up. When it loaded, it completely failed to find any O2 network at all - even though I know there is one and another O2 phone connects straight away. It just continues searching and searching, never finding anything. (Phone is searching for a network to connect to icon). The Sim manager is completely blank, and I'm unable to get any sort of connection at all with it
Out of desperation I even tried the O2 Active software from the programs menu, which launched up a terribly corrupted Today screen (all the icons were broken) which crashed as soon as anything was clicked, leading to needing to do a soft reset due to no other option. I tried it again and same thing.
So far, I like the device, but it's not been what I've expected, and as it was primarily bought for mobile internet, not being able to connect is a bit of a downer . Furthermore, the seeming problems in the O2 software concerns me, too
Does anyone have any ideas? Is there something I'm missing that's obvious? Could the sim not be in properly or something, or could the sim have not been updated or something? I must admit, while I'm not new to Pocket PCs, I am new to phones of this sort, so I'd be greatful for any ideas or advice.
Thanks a lot in advance, I appreciate it
Since the phone is not able to connect to the network,so, most probably, its a SIM card problem. Try putting in some other O2 SIM in it and then try if it works
i would recommend doing a hard reset, and make sure your sim is inserted correctly before doing this.
Cheers, Bryson
i had problems connecting to o2 until they registered the sim card.try ringing them to see if they have done this

hi, i heard the corporate version is the best.. you can also try upgrading to latest rom. or if you already have that, hard reset, or you can even try a reflash.
also you should reseat the sim card & make sure you pushed the lock on it..
Hi I own a Cingular 8125 (Wizard), yesterday I did a soft reset because the phone was too slow (it wasn't turned off for about 4 weeks without restarting). When it launched it ask for my phone pasword, then for my sim PIN and took them without problems but it launched without connecting to my provider signal. Everything on the phone is working fine (WiFi-Bluetooth-PC Sync, etc...) but it keeps searching for signal.
I tried 3 different sim cards and the result was the same, then I test my sim on a friends phone and it worked fine.
The only thing I did to the phone a few weeks ago was try to use a dual sim ghost that didn't worked (it show the dual sim menu and worked fine with line 1 but when I tried to switch to line 2 it happenned just the same that is happenning now with just my sim inside, it kept looking for signal)
I did a complete reset and nothing.. happened the same, then I upgrade it's ROM to the one cingular has on it's website (http://www.america.htc.com/support/8125/software-downloads.html) it was the same one installed but it did the upgrade process anyway and NOTHING!!!
Does anyone have an idea of what could be happenning and what can I do to fix it?? I don't want to have a PDA phone just as a PDA and not phone. THanks.
So I have this Tmobile wing for 2 weeks and it worked fine until today.
I turned on the phone and the network couldn't be found.
I went outside and still nothing and I am using OpenTouch. can someone help me figure this out?
Have you tried a soft reset or a power cycle? If that doesn't work, consider taking out the sim card and reinserting it.
I had the same problem yesterday. I pulled out my sim card and put it in another phone to see if it was my sim and sure enough the other phone could not find a network. so i put in a new sim and called t-mobile and works fine now
I am trying to unlock my Touch HD from Orange.
I've used www.htccode.com and I now have an unlock code for my phone. I have put a friends vodaphone sim card into my phone but it doesn't prompt me to enter the code. I've even tried a hard reset but still nothing.
Could it be the ROM I'm using (BlackStoneHenge HyPer)?
Tony
p.s. Just tried with an O2 sim too - same result.
Here's a thought: I notice that the phone always goes to airplane mode when I put a sim card in. I wonder if Orange - in their infinite wisdom - have deactivated my old phone when I activated my new one. Does that sound right?
I'll put my new Orange sim into it and see what happens...
edit: Tested with my new Orange sim and the phone works fine.
In case anyone has a similar problem - I've found the cause. It was the ROM (BlackStoneHenge HyPer) that was the cause. I flashed a different ROM to the phone and the unlocking prompts then appears as expected.
