3. this does not happens with my brothers sim card of airtel company
4.same behaviors is shown with sims of vodaphone, reliance gsm, bsnl cards.

If your SIM is prepaid, then that might be the culprit, since Vodafone's Prepaid SIMs are 16K, and they cause problem with high end phones.
explanation
thanks 4 reply.
I have tried sims as
idea- postpaid=== result: shutdown/restart
airtel- postpaid==== result: works good
vodaphone- prepaid=== result: shutdown/restart
bsnl- prepaid=== result: shutdown/restart
reliannce(gsm) prepaid=== result: shutdown/restart

Basically make sure you have a 32K SIM, even airtel's prepaid sim will work good, since they are 32 K. Sorry buddy, but I do not know about other operators except vodafone, which gives 16K SIM for prepaid (shutdown/restart) and 32K for Post Paid.
More clarification
thanks for reply...so I came 2 know that lot many people are reading and some of them are ready to answer. Here is my updated clarification for irritating behavior of gene.
1.The sim of idea I'm using is 32K
2. last night only I upgraded to wm 6.1 after patching spl(old gene)
but phone shuts down while start of gprs access and in between phone call.
now it goes on restarting 2/4 times after manual restart and finally comes 2 life..
I think that the problem is created by service centre after resoldering connector unit of battery..
plz plz guide some body

It could be, I had a similar problem with my Vox (when the battery was gone ). But it did not restart, it would shut off. May be you need to take it back to service center.
Best of Luck (HTC service comes with 1 month warranty).
GOT solution !!!
hi
thanks 4 ur support.
i opened the mobile with the help of manual (htc service manual: the confidential one
found that the pins of battery connector with motherboard were loose.
tried to move a bit and came out of MB. this must be problem created by htc care guy at poona. so went to local mobile maintenance shop. asked him to solder the connector to MB. and voila ...
now i have been using it every sim ,, for surfing also. works fine.....
PS...
ADVICE TO GENE users:
do not pick up the battery by force from body as it will give pressure on connector joint with MB...seems prob with gene.

hi im due to buy an o2 xda executive heres what the guy has put in the advert
( It has one significant fault which means the phone functions do not work, as it has difficulty in recognising when a SIM card is inserted. I have used it with O2 and Vodafone SIMs and it was sold to me as unlocked, but most of the time now it says a SIM is not inserted, even when it is.)
what i want to know is does anyone know if this is a common problem and is it easy sorted is it ususaly software or hardware related and is it worth buying if the price is right then geting fixed or is it a problem easily sorted something i could do myself
btw i need help quick if possible before it sells
thanks
Talking about phones in general.. this is usualy a hardware problem.
Perhaps you could find out how old the unit is and (if under a year) claim off the warrenty?
thanks
ahhh cool thanks for your reply
i was just thinking the guy emailed me and said he reset the device to wipe all his info off it and now its showing that it has a sim card in it but he has done this before and it goes back to how it was (showing no sim card )
my question is wouldnt this point more towards a software problem rather than a hardware problem
help update please
right i got the thing now it wont work with an o2 sim
so i popped a vodaphone on in and it worked for a while
then i took sim out looked at sim holder and sim contacts and all looks perfect so i put the vodafone sim back in and im back to the invalid or missing sim card error what next guys ?
when the device boots up i get these three things on the screen
r 1.04.02
g 42.37.p8
d 1.13.82 wwe
i suppose thats the 3 things you were teling me about ?
could someone point me in the direction to the files i need and the order i need to put them on ?
and mabey a quick readthough or point me in the direction of a post relating to this problem
i get similar things when my xda boots too. I am pretty sure everyone does. Does it display an error message with the O2 sim in? Providing the phone is unlocked to all networks, this shouldnt cause a problem.
TBH I cant see that it not reading the sim could be a software problem (someone please correct me if I'm wrong). Even though the contacts look clean, you could try cleaning them anyway. I use the rubber-end of a pencil, or an elastic band if I cant find one. But dont go rubbing the contacts away altogether.. lol
ah right sorry ignore the (suppose thats the 3 things you were teling me about ?) bit in the post that bit was for another forum the reason why i typed all the info on where the thing boots up is because someone told me the radio may be corrupt and to reinstall or install the newest one so thats why i typed all that info and i was wondering where to get the files from in what order to do them and was there a sticky and where is my bloody pencil with a rubber on it !
Just to confirm, you ARE using a 3G sim, right? I don't think it works with normal sims
3g ?
no im not using a 3g sim but the vodafone one i tried worked for a while and that was not 3g i have also cleaned the sim card contacts and the phones contacts to no avail
i have also just unlocked it using the HTC_Universal_Radio_for_SIMunlock_v0.00.00 file
still wont recognise my sim
someone mentioned elsewhere that the radio stack was possibly messed up and i wouldnt be able to use the wireless connection ? but i can so that rules that out ? so its possbily hardware related but all looks ok inside

FYI mine worked fine with a normal O2 sim, bar the 3G stuff ofc
suggestion
try putting a piece of paper between the sim and the battery to push it down a bit. Its a longshot but I know of someone who had a similar problem and it was solved like that.
Hi
That's right try to use a piece of paper stick right behind the sim card to push aginst the sim card to force a good contact, but before doing so try to use a Q tip and small amount of rubbing Alcohol to clean the sim slot metal contacts because from time to time the metal contact might being oxidize and preventing it from a good contact with the sim card. If after trying all this still not work than you might want to try flash it with a new Rom.
any ideas what next please
hi
i have tried the paper behind the sim i have tried the cleaning of the contacts and i have upgraded the radio so as the title says any ideas what to try next as none of thme make my universal think theres a sim in it it just says missing or invalid sim ?
also at the moment my radio is 00000000 so its unlocked but if iwanted to upgrade it whats the best one to upgrade too ?
is it either UNI_radio_1[1].08.00 or is it best to upgrade to UNI_radio_1[1].09.00
and what do i do with the nbf file ? is there an upgrade program please
update
hi all
today ithought i would try a vodaphone sim out of my works phone in the universal and after 3 resets it worked the phone kept a signal for about half an hour then went back to the invalid or missing sim error so i put it in flight mode then turned flight mode off and the thing worked for the next 5 hours but now after leaving it alone for half an hour im back to the error ?
anyone any ideas please
another update
hi
last night i flashed my universal with the sim card in and when it booted up the phone was working there was a strong signal e.c.t. it stayed on for hours but when i got up in the morning and checked it it said missing or invalid sim card so i put it in flight mode then turned flight mode off and it started working again it has now been on for like 3 hours so has anyone got any ideas why it keeps coming up with this missing or invalid simcard error because i would like to get it fixed
i havnt got a clue what im talking about but could it be the antenna or something ? or is there something else i could try
thanks for all your help so far

Somebody HELP!!!
PS. Then SIM installed & I turn flymode I can't off it but then SIM is not installed switching performing without any problems.
PSS. sorry for english
Have you tried ...:
a) a SIM by the same provider
b) another provider's SIM
Make sure that your SIM also works in another phone. It may be unlikely that your current SIM could be the problem.
I have also a strange problem when i send an SMS larger than 300 characters it spends me money but it doesnt send it !

SIM from another cell operator, but it's of course working.
Then it might be a good idea to have your SIM replaced.

Tested three SIMs from different operators? the result same :-(
All SIMs work on another phones.
Have you tried reinstalling the ROM that worked in the 1st place? Otherwise you'll have to consider taking to a shop.
Signal Loss Problems
I am having the same problems. I even had T-Mob send me a new phone with the same result. Did you ever find a solution?
I am also having same problem, the agency informed me that there is a damage in the internal board and it cannot be fixed. this is rediculous...

bull****!
i sent my pda for repairs (to fix a different problem) and after two weeks they came up with the same answer,
but a day after i got my pda back, i changed batteries and found out it was a battery problem, and not a board problem!
thats a few hundred bucks of differens!
they seem to find it as a "default" answer, instead of saying "we don't have a clue what the hell's wrong".
Hello.
I have had this problem for a few months, and found it deep within one of the many random freeze posts (posted by elivne).

So .. in case there are other user having this problem like I had.. I am posting this and adding it to the wiki.
Applies only if you use a 2G/2.5G SIM card.
The phone will freeze with a "virgin" system, with no 3rd party software.
The LEDs keep blinking.
Network remains connected altough you can not answer.
There is no way to wake up the device without soft reset.
To me, this happend daily.
Solution!
Use a 3G USIM card!
Might also be solved by upgrading to new 2G SIM Cards (not verified).
LOL
sorry for laughing, but I just think it's funny that someone'd just continue on with a 2/2.5G SIM card with a 3.5G device when there was a 3/3.5G service available! hehe
Its funny alright...
But the joke is on us!
In Israel , with an Operator named Cellcom, when you upgrade to 3G you HAVE to buy a WAP data package which is pretty useless.
Secondly , the network is relativly new , so reception is very bad.
I got the 3G USIM but still use 2G/GPRS.
Some operators in the Netherlands, e.g. T-Mobile, do not hand out USIMs at all, although they offer UMTS and HSDPA. We just keep using our usual 2G sims with the 3G network and it works like a charm. It is really an operator choice and not necessary at all to hand out USIMs.
I experience similar problems. Could happen several times a day, or could a week or two without problems. Have tried to re-flash ROMs, and upgrade ROM's. Tried with "virgin" setup with no 3rd party sw - all with the same result.
The phone is only a couple of months old, and so is the SIM card.
How can I find out if I have a usim card, or 3G/2G card?
I have also experienced a lot of problems dialing/receving calls lately. When dialing it will not actually get through, and after a while (perhaps 10-20 seconds) it will time out and disconnect. The problem is that it will disconnect from the network completely, and take a very long time to re-connect. Longer than normal - perhaps several minutes.
Could this be related?
PS. I'm with T-Mobile in the Netherlands, running on a HTC TyTN (Hermes200)
I have also the same probs with my device (MDAII TMobile with a USIM from 3 Austria), so the error isnt due to a 2g SIM...
I get random lockups, lites blinking, display ON, backlite OFF, all buttons including power locked, only soft reset restores. I have a new 3G sim.
I seem to see this more when the 8525 is on a charger, after receiving a call or message. I'll walk up and find it like this. On battery this seldom happens.
Your Welcome

When I insert Telenor (Sweden) SIM-card into my Trinity (with Ausdim 3.0 full ROM) the battery gets discharged in 1-2 days!
Moreover, I tried to switch off GSM , and no effect!
In the previous ROM's (by Muon) this SIM-card gave constantly some message about 3G and some Service. When I installed a fix for that, it stopped giving messages, but still ATE BATTERY!!!
On all other SIM-cards the phone works ok.
Is there any really working fix for that?
Seems like the SIM card is constantly f...ing the processor.

Probably and old 2.5V SIM card.
I had this problem when I took my phone to the UK and used my Virgin Mobile SIM card.
Called Virgin, told them that I believed it was an old model SIM - they confirmed that it was - higher voltage as well - and sent a new SIM free of charge. Now, the phone holds it's charge like with my french SIM card
Thanks!
I addressed to client service , they said, that it was a new 3G SIM card,
but agreeded to send me another one. Hope, it would fix the problem.

qtek s100 no service
Hi guys,
I need your help repairing my S100.
I was trying to sell it to a friend who would buy it if it worked with the sim card found in his Vodafone HSDPA/3G modem.Then he inserted the card, found network, then after a few minutes it performed a soft reset.
Then it said(where the rom version is)"bad radio".
Then I performed hard reset, when it said "No radio", then booted up.
Then after a few minutes, it got frozen.
Then I did a soft reset and got a red message"bad radio" and it won't boot.
It only boots up after hard reset, then it can be used as a PDA for a few minutes.Then freezes, then it will not boot again until the next hard reset.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
