Hi All,
Today I switched off my phone and I tried to switch it ON, but it was just looping (switching ON and going off before Windows screen comes up). I tried to figure out the problem and noted that this was happening only with SIM CARD present. If I remove the SIM Card and switch it on, the phone switches on without any problem. But with SIM card, it doesn't gets switched on. Can someone help me out with this?
PS: This happens with all different sim cards and not only mine. My sim card works fine with other phones.
Thanks in advance

Try to boot without your memory card.
Thanks a Lot!! It worked..

hi folks!
i got a problem with my XDAII since the last few days.. it switches itself on without me doing anything!
It sits on my desk now and even if i dont touch it it will switch on. I can switch it off, but within a minute its on again! This is not just a problem with the battery life but also when its in my pocket somewhere and the keys get pressesd
i havent changed any settings, it started by itself (really! )
What I did find out is that if i switch flight mode on, then it doesnt happen! So maybe its something with the radio? All other connections (bluetooth, infrared etc) are disabled and have always been so.
the phone is set to only switch on by the on/off button, if its off all other buttons are locked.
thanks for any suggestions..
Perhaps you have scheduled the phone to do something? I have heard of the scheduler accidently being switched on, though I don't know much more about it.
It may also be (less likely) a short somewhere. I have a broken XDA that I am able to short to turn on and restart etc.
Have you checked to make sure no programs are running in the background?
Also, make sure none of the hard buttons are pressed in constantly. One may have been pressed down and got stuck, or perhaps it is in a case (leather) that constantly presses the buttons.
Also, some phones are set to switch on when an SD card is inserted. Do you have an SD card in the phone? Perhaps it is faulty, or the card slot is faulty, or it isn't in all the way.
Except for the applications that came on the phone, have you installed any third party apps? If so, what are they?
hi jadel,
thanks for your answer. it was actually the sd card inserted into the phone that caused the problem. removed the card -> problem solved! thanks!
is there a way to disable this setting, that the phone switches on when a sd card is inserted? I find it very annoying..
grtz

Hi Mischka,
have you tried another SD Card? probably ur SD Card is defected/broken for some reason. I had an experience that was similar to this with my Xphone O2. it turned on without any touch. i tried another SD Card, and another new SD Card. it came to my conclusion that the socket of SD had been broken/faulty. It did.
thank God my Hima is still in a good condition.
or try to O2 service center to check the socket SD of yours.
regards,

I have a t-mobile wing and it keeps restarting. How can I fix this? I got the phone off ebay and it was working great. I really have no clue on how to fix it, if someone could, can someone please help me.
i am also facing the same problem! can some one plz provide a solution?
Pop out the micro sd card and power it up
If that doesn't work, Hard Reset the device.
same thing happens to mine. I take out the micro sd card, after the t-mobile white screen and the windows mobile screen stopped and entering the today screen, plug your micro sd card back in. It works.
Or.... remove your battery for a couple minutes, and put it back in and turn off your phone. Usually it works
seems that whenever i insert my sim card my phone gets crazy, restarts all the time on its own, white screen/flashes/lines but if i start it with out the sim card it runs properly. i ran it without a sim for over 3 hours and it was working fine. anyone got an idea about this?
thanks in advance.
Hi everyone.
I got a Legend yesterday and since I needed to make some backups from my current phone I didn't put the SIM card right away on the Legend.
So I turned it on, did the First Time wizard, installed some apps, browsed the web, applied a system update (not to the operating system, I think it was a radio update or something) and when the backups on the other phone were finished, I slid the SIM card onto its bay, turned the phone on and it still reported that no SIM card was detected.
Restarted. Same thing.
Did a hard reset (factory reset). Same thing.
Am I looking at a defective phone? SIM card with problems? Anything else?
I didn't try any other cards, but will do as soon as I get home.
Thanks in advance.

Hey Mate,
This is a common problem, especially on Vodafone networks... I found this too, it's basically cause the SIM isn't as thick as it should be.
To solve it, rip a piece of paper up to be slightly larger than your SIM, and slide it into the slot before you put in your SIM. Then, pop in your SIM and you're away.
Make sure you leave a bit of the paper poking out so it doesn't get stuck in there.
Thanks owenw.
As silly as it might sound, when I got home I inserted another card from another carrier and it worked. Then I inserted mine and it started to work, so no need for the piece of paper, but very much appreciated.
Hey,
I keep getting this annoying message " NO SIM Card Inserted " and my trick is to turn the Airplane mode on/off for a couple of times so the SIM card is recognized again. But this is getting worse, I'm having this error the 4th time today and having to switch the airplane mode on/off for countless times before it works.
Anyone else having this problem?
Should I get my tab to service?
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100, Android 4.0.3 stock
Noboby having this issue?
I have it too. I think it's just the default message if there is no sim card inserted. When you put one in, it goes away. I don't really mind it. What I DO mind is a "--" symbol in the bottom notification bar. I used to be able to see the Weatherbug Temp or the Battery status percentage there, now I can't. Can't figure out how to get rid of it. (--)
Maybe I wasn't that clear, but I have an Orange sim in it.
Yesterday this problem with the sim was worst than ever so I'm going to Orange for a fix. Hoping that another sim will just do the trick.
i got a broken sim once after some rooting and flashing custom rom's
in my case it was clear the sim (because everithing worked well with an other sim)
and my sim was relay old (around 7 years). So try with another from a friend and you know. :good:
So it seems that I had a faulty sim and everything is ok since I got a new one. Problem solved.
