Why am i getting the stat_notify_sim_toolkit notification icon?

I always have the stat_notify_sim_toolkit notification icon coming up and cant get rid of it, any one have any ideas?
Itsa new HTC Magic/Saphire with 1.5
I was using it for a week with a different SIM and never got that icon (looks like a Simcard with a small cog wheel to the bottom right)
then a day after using the new sim it started appearing and there seems to be no way to get rid of it?
Everything works perfectly on the phone, calls, sms, txt, mms, 3g data etc
I notificated after a few resets the icon only appears after I set an APN (was using it for a while after a reset on wifi and never got any notication icon coming up, but as soon as I set a APN to use 3g data it appeared??)
Any ideas? Its just a Blank button in the dropdown notification listing with the icon in it as well as the icon being in the bar up the top
oh and I also tried redoing a new rom with root onto it (complete standard HTC ROM + Root, its a 288meg HTC version) and even that diodnt get rid of it (after settings the APN of course)

What happens if you use it with another sim now? the icon is still here?

I am having exactly the same problem. With a Vodafone Magic. I flashed a to a hero rom. So had to re enter my APN's, since then I have been getting the notification icon with no way to get rid of it. My apn's work get data, mms etc. Haven't come up with a solution yet, will keep working on it.
Cheers

havnt tried another SIM after getting the problem yet (will have to beg someone to let me put their sim into my phone first)
Looks like another bug with android....
I had this sim in the phone for a couple of days with no notification icon, then removed the sim added some emergency contacts onto the SIM using a normal cell (which has the really fancy function of being able to edit sim contacts! unlike Android) then a a while later after being back in the HTC the notification icon came up...
Anything todo with having contacts on the SIM? Is android trying to read the contacts and having a problem of some sort perhaps?
Maybe a Vodafone New Zealand SIM thing as njakobs in on the same network im guessing? (oh had another SIM in there when i first got the phone that didnt have the issue but its a SIM from about 5 years ago, so maybe a new sim contact thing?)

I found a solution!! Finally
Went to setting>applications>manage applications> SIM Toolkit
Then under that select Force Stop button
after that the sim comes back into action shortly and the notification icon also disappears!
even after a poweroff/poweron remove battery and all.. it doesnt come back
Funny problem, wonder what the force stop does to stop the notification icon coming back?

LOL sweet that does work.

Sorry to say it doesnt work, it worked for me for about 8 hours, then when I woke in the morning the icon had come back again
Back to the start again...
Has your one come back after a few hours??

Ok after using lots of different roms etc the problem is HTC Sim Toolkit just doesn't like NZ sims for some reason.
Some of the roms allowed me to just uninstall the app. Sweet problem fixed.
However in some it is protected and in the system folder to so can't be easily uninstalled. So this is what you have to do.
Using the Android SDK
Connect your device via USB cable
Start the command shell and navigate to tools folder of the android sdk, then
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd system
cd app
ls
Don't close the command shell yet.
This prints out a list of the obex and apk files in your system
The one we are looking for is 'Stk.apk', if it is there then lets nuke it.
Code:
rm /system/app/Stk.apk
sync
reboot
Make sure the 'case' is right as it is case sensitive.
Now you have NO MORE real really really annoying Sim Toolkit notifications that you can't get rid of.
Cheers

Home screen messed up after uninstalling CHT 1.7

I guess this could go in the Apps and Themes forum but I thought I'd stick it here in case the issue is broader than me thinking it might be related to CHT removal.
Decided to uninstall CHT 1.7 (and Advanced Home Tab 2.2.4) after getting fed up with lag/freezing/etc, and now I have three problems on the home screen:
1. The top-left part of the calendar (day, date) widget seems to be the same size as the CHT version, i.e. smaller than the default one, and therefore sits 20-40 pixels away from the rest of the calendar. EDIT: it won't even let me launch the calendar or alarm by pressing on it (or any area of the widget)
2. I can no longer scroll the apps to reveal the additional 6 below the 3 that sit at the bottom of the screen. EDIT: this has just started working.
3. The 'Menu' button no longer works on this screen either - it flashes upon touch but nothing pops up - so I can't access any quick links etc.
Can't find anything on the forum search or elsewhere.
Also, CHT may not have uninstalled properly because it won't disappear from the list of "removable" apps. Does this mean it's left some legacy code that is forcing the calendar to mis-display, etc?
Thanks
SC

Decided to reinstall CHT 1.7 along with the editor and see what happens. Running only one screen of apps (4x4) to see if this makes it more stable.

make sure you turn off sense before uninstalling....

Ok - so do I go to settings > menu > all settings > today > items > check Windows Default before uninstalling ... and then uncheck it after reinstalling?
Thanks

yup that's the one.....
check default, uncheck sense, soft reset, uninstall, reset, start up sense again.
Not guaranteed to work but its worth a try....
hope that helps.....

I'll put this out there just in case anyone else gets into a pickle like I did earlier today!
If you decide to install Cookies Home Tab, then install Advanced Home Tab, only to discover that the version of CHT is a lot newer than the version of AHT you thought you had....
Sense really gets messed up, so much so, all you get is white background and no response, to *anything*.
I managed to get my beloved HD2 back from the brink of certain hard reset by:
Attempting connection to my laptop (Win7) using ActiveSync (thankfully it was set to that as default!) and attempted the uninstall of AHT through Mobile Device Center.
This appeared to go ok, except MDC did close unexpectedly after the uninstall.
I brought it back up, and it was still installed. Ok, plan B.
Plan B:
Just before the SIM card PIN entry screen (I'm guessing this screen pauses the boot up just enough) you can open the start menu, this allows access to your programs.
I used Total Commander to launch CHT installer (I always keep cabs on my SD card) which attempted uninstall and failed on a few files (as Sense was still switched on, switching it off wasn't an option due to not being able to get this far until now).
I then managed to get into the Windows Settings via the Start menu, and disabled Sense before rebooting. My god, it was slow booting that time!
From here, I reinstalled CHT and CHTE, uninstalled AHT and all is well!

[Q] Home button disabled... how to reset

i decided to find out what the hullabaloo about Beautiful Widgets was and bought it... and then tried their fanciful widgets and weather and stuff. Not sure if I get the deal, (I look at the sky to find out the weather and I dont need more reminders of what time it is) but anyway -- last night I got into some settings in BW and then remember something about "reboot to disable home button" or whatever and I forgot I was not rooted, so I went ahead with it. (Had i been rooted I would have done a data wipe and restore and not needed to make another XDA thread)
But now I cannot use my home button. It goes nowhere. It vibrates but thats it. Doesnt go "Home" and long press doesnt give me my last 6 apps.
I uninstalled BW (both the apk and whatever the widgets were) so now I have no more BW on the phone, and it somehow even reset my system settings so I had to set that all up over again!!!!
I had Launcherpro apk and Zeam and have uninstalled both of those and now I only have ADW launcher. I set the ADW settings to enable the home button to go to "default screen" but now it doesnt do anything.
I havent been able to use home button normally since that Beautiful Widget setting thing last night.
My next step is to go into fastboot and do a data-wipe (the stock settings for data reset doesnt really come close to what a fastboot data wipe does, I think) but then Ill have to deal with restoring a non-rooted phone and not looking forward to that without my beloved Titanium Backup.
So anyone know Beautiful Widgets inside out who can let me know how to get my home button back to normal. Otherwise its a hardware issue and I doubt it because ive been treating this phone like its the queen of england, delicate and carefully.
Im positive this was caused by a Beautiful Widget setting change...

solved
I tried everything possible.... and got so pissed about the home button not working that I did a factory reset off the SPL. That fixed it -- my home button now works.
So something in the Beautiful Widgets settings caused something to become embedded and it made my home button useless. Im 99.9% sure of that -- .01% would go towards "hardware malfunction".
careful in those BW settings. nice widgets, but horrible batt-drain. Too Sense-i for me.

Did you try resetting the default app settings for Beautiful Widgets or the built-in launcher? Menu -> Applications -> Beautiful Widgets -> Reset Defaults.

Open home problems

Hey guys this is my first post here and I tried to search for an answer before posting. Here's what I have:
-HTC Hero CDMA
-cyanogenmod 6.1 heroc
-most recent sprint radio 2.42.01.04.27
-decafuct kernel 2.6.29.6
-open home full 4.4
Since I installed the new kernel and radio two things are happening.
1. Thy wifi says 'error' when I try to turn it on.
2. Everytime I reboot as soon as the home screen comes up it says that openhome had a problem and needs to be closed so I select forclose (my options are forceclose and report) Then after a second the home screen shows up, I see the the phone is mounting my sd card and my icons are all there but they are the generic android icons. If I click on any it says, this application is not installed. So I go into application manager and force close openhome again, and that restores it. Also any Widgets I had installed has the error 'problem loading widget' if I long press the screen to put a widget back, most of the Widgets aren't showing up to select. At least the ones that were running before the reboot. Any ideas? I've tried starting in safe mode and the home screen never comes up all I can access is the status bar on top.
And yes, open home is installed on the phone and not the SD

[Q] Phone & Contacts Icons Disappeared HELP ?

OK so i didn't much like the stock Dialer and contacts to slow and look horrible so i set about trying to find a suitable alternative, now upon finding a couple of good ones Dialer One & TouchPal Go i followed various guides on how to set up installed dialers as your default dialer, applications manager-all then clear default on stock phone app launch new dialer and it should come up with an option to choose which dialer to use, ive come to the conclusion that most of the dialer apps ive tried this option never comes up thus not allowing you to use as a stock dialer, now i read that if you disable the contacts under application manager - all then go into your dialer you want to use it will come up with the new default option upon doing this i noticed that the Stock contacts & phone icon have disappeared from the homescreen and app-drawer, i can only find the phone listed in application manager - all but not contacts , what do i do to get them back ? thx

the same thing u did to disable them those 2 apps are related

are they backed up if yes try restoring them

Not sure on your question per se but once you do get em back ignore those guides because you don't have to do anything to make it work. Just lose the shortcuts on the desktop and replace them with the ones you want and press that icon instead. When an app wants to hook a dialer and you have more than one installed a window will pop up asking which one you want to use, select dialer one and always and you are good to go. This will happen each time a new app that hasn't tried to use the dialer before wants to do so but it wont be long before you have them all covered and you never see them again. The good thing about this is you simply need to clear defaults to go back should you choose and also if you want to use them on a case by case basis you can. In other words dont select always and the option will come up every time that app tries to hook the dialer. The same holds true with the contacts and replacement contact apps.

'When an app wants to hook a dialer and you have more than one installed a window will pop up asking which one you want to use, select dialer one and always and you are good to go' EXACTLY and after many wasted hours i concluded that many of the dialer/contacts apps dont allow for such an option to appear the new app just launches without said popup box. However i still dont know how to get back the stock phone/contacts icon.
