Anyone noticing this problem with their slide?

So my g/f just got her slide today, and as we were playing with it throughout the day, we noticed that after a while, the phone would no longer recognize that it had a SD card installed... we'd have to pop the back off, pop out the SD card, then put it back again for the phone to recognize it again. However, after a while, the phone would once again say that the SD card is not connected...
Is this a problem with this specific phone, or is anyone else also experiencing this problem as well?

By any chance was it wiping your phone everytime it did that?

I had that problem with the mytouch 1.2 but not with this yet. I've heard using a class 4 or 6 sd card fixes it but I never tried it.

Nah the phone and all the info in the card seems fine, its just that the phone can't seem to find the card once in a while until you take out then put back the SD card :/

take the phone back and swap it for another one at the store. You could also try getting another SD card. You most likely just have a bad SD card. It happens. I would swap the phone first cause its free (since you already paid for it) and would without a doubt tell you exactly what is wrong.

Sounds like a defect I had my slide since may and this never happened take it back and replace it immediately

Ok replaced the phone this afternoon.. problem seems to be solved thanks for the replies all!

HELP! x10 keeps on rebooting/restarting with a sim card in!

Hello guys, I am having a problem with my unbranded x10i bought in UK (I am currently using it here in the philippines with a local sim card) . After I did an OTA two days ago, it just keeps on restarting/booting! I have tried the "repair" option twice in the PC Companion software but still no luck.
What's strange though is that when I tried switching the phone on WITHOUT a sim card in, it booted up with no problem (and I checked the build number, it says R2BA020 which probably means the OTA update was a success). I put the sim card back in and the problem came back, it kept on restarting.
What seems to be wrong? Any suggestions on fixing it? I would really appreciate your help guys. Thanks!
Update: I successfully rooted my phone hoping that rooting would solve my issue, but unfortunately it still keeps on rebooting/restarting whenever i put ANY sim card in.

Have you tried using another SIM-card?

yes. I have used different sim cards...

Try flashing back the original firmware.. and make sure the sim card is inside the x10 while doing it. Worth a try..

I have the same problem too and I have just updated my phone to R2BA024 and the firmware version is still 1.6. I have hard-reset so many times and reinstall some many times. The problem still there. I have contact Sony Ericsson customer service and bought my phone to fix. Got it back, problem hasnt been solved. I have waited for 3 weeks for a reply from them and end-up they said they do not have any new phone or spare-parts to fix my phone. Until then, I have contacted them almost 10 times and still no one has the right answer and just keep asking me to wait. They dun even have an exact date when the parts will arrive. I am very piss off now and I dunno what I should do next.

Its the same problem here with me too. Bought the phone from a friend about 3 days ago. was going all good when it just started to keep booting itself. While the sim is inside, it'll restart just as it finishes booting. Without the sim, its fine. I have tried other sim cards too, and format/reset my phone many times but it just isnt working for me anymore. HELPPPP!!!

Is it 32K sim or 64K???

hi techguru, can u tel me wot the diff is between the 32k and 64k sim ? many thanks

ISSUE SOLVED here.
BTW : my sim is 64k.
anyways, i found out that the problem was because of the faulty battery. what i guess is that the voltage couldnt get to the requirements of the phone, and everytime the sim radio (whatever its called) switched on, the phone just turned off.
I reinstalled/repaired my phone many times, GOT the exclamation mark of death one time also, but the phone just didnt turn on.
Later i noticed that the phone would just turn on itself when i attach the phone to the charger, otherwise it wouldnt turn ON. So what i did was just change the battery, and walla, the phone is ALIVE again.
Sim is working, phone is working.
BUT i see some signal losses from time to time, otherwise the phone is good enuff.
FOR me , the change of battery did the trick, I hope it works for u guyz aswell.
Cheers ...

hmmm. sounds interesting. I might try changing my battery. btw, i have tried using both 64 and 32K sim cards but the phone keeps restarting with any of the sim cards in. without both the sim cards, the phone works fine. how much does an x10 battery cost?

here, i get the cheap chinese battery. it isnt expensive, but its working great. almost better than my previous battery.
cost me around 2.5$.
but.. i am still getting lots of SIGNAL DROPS. i dont know why it is happeneing. I tried swapping the battery with the original battery of another X10, but no change. Signal loss is not a battery issue then.
Any idea what it could be ??

Signal loss?
Maybe a weak signal, or radio related?

or maybe its because i updates it to R026 is causing the signal loss issue ??

@techguru
I am also using airtel, but with a 64kb sim.
In my case it does not start.
It start if with no battery or with a 128kb sim of TIM.
I tried to recharge the firmware but nothing seemed to change.
I know that someone solved the problem swithcing off the phone in airplane mode, but this is not the case for me.
I also noticed that in some cases the led is green and is slowly blinking.
I am ready to change the battery if this helps, but I am not sure. Even if I put it under charge it does not switch on and the battery seems not to charge
As I bought the phone only since one day I wonder if they will change it.

Galaxy S cant find sim card

Today i went to the gym, and when i was done and picked up my phone in the locker i needed to call someone. I called but it froze during the attempt to call so i turned the phone off (i could turn it off normally, so i didnt pull out the battery). When i turned it back on i had no signal at all, and went to mobile networks settings to check. I got the message that i had to insert my sim card to edit the settings.
My phone was running JM5 rooted. I tried switching sim card to see if my sim card somehow stopped working during those 2 hours but that didnt help either. I then tried reflashing (now have JM7 on it) and i still have the problem where it wont find my sim card.
Is there anything i can do besides send it to be repaired? I'd prefer not to do that seeing as i really hate waiting for it to come back.

You have probably tried it, but I'd get a cotton bud and clean the contacts both on the phone and the sim card. I've had that happen twice, but not on my SGS.

Yea tried that already.. thx for the suggestion though.
I guess i better hand it in to the repair shop.

I also have this issue with my SIM card, i go to flight mode and return back to normal mode seems to fix the issue ive also cleaned the contacts before and it didnt seem to occur again..

Yeah i have tried that, it's not working either. Tried several different Roms and different modem/radios too. This sucks.

I have the same problem. It started after I flashed JVK on my phone. I thought it was the firmwares fault, but I still have the same problem after flashing JS8. I think I'll be asking my provider for a new SIM. I have a feeling that the SIM might be the answer to our problem

Memory card is gone for good !!

Good evening everyone...
I have a problem with my X2, the memory card have disapeared for good, its been a while now and I have tried every fix in this site, still no luck.. I have done a clear setting (hard rest) and many things still the memory card no go... some one help??

Is that the Original Card that came with the phone? How long did it work, if ever?
Did you apply the reg setting to DISable card sleep?
Did you try a DIFFERENT card?
Did you try that card in a Different Phone?
....and the results are....

Hi there,,, yes its the original card and its working for quite some time now,,, Its been working for 4 months now, and I have tested it n my PC and its working, its tottaly the phone, can u explain what you mean by card sleep disable trick??

Well, with a Registry Editor I go to:
HKLM\system\current control set\control\power\state\suspend and then to same key but RESUMING
and sete the shc1 value='0'
which makes the sd card never go to sleep. So far for me and I am using even a 32GB card, it never disappeared.
If all does not help and the card works in another PHONE, then the last thing left is to try a DIFFERENT card in your phone.
Else, phone back to SE for warranty!

thx man Ive tried that but its already set to 0.... I think the phone is having an emotional problem, cuz he dont see the card even with a SEUS clean rom install,,, seems the hardware is the problem not the software,, this is bad cuz the warranty isnt in my country and i cant do anything to fix it now..

Hii! new updates... I just got a new HC card 4 GB and it worked,, so i guess the device some how dont wanna recognize its original card any more, even hto its working on PC.. anyway thanks dude, i just got new memory card and its working, this X2 will drive me crazy some day but not today i guess!

SD fix
Just apply this fix:

[Q]HD2 WP7 Mango freezes when boots up 80% of the time. PLS HELP

Hello I have an HTC HD2 WP7 Mango/Android via Magldr. Whenever I boot up Windows it tends to freeze up at the main screen about 80% of the time. It forces me to pull the battery and try again. Sometimes it takes me at least 30 mins to finally start windows because of battery pulls and restarts.
When it starts up and works it'll be fine and never lock up.
Any help? Anyone experience this problem?

ive done that but with this new mango it locks up frequently during boot. I dont want to have to hard reset everytime i turn my phone on.
Id rather just keep this new updated windows and deal with the bull.

you need to use the cab sender to send "DEV_STORAGELOCK" to your phone
after reboot it will appear on the app list. Click it and click yes to unlock sd card, Now it should appear on a computer.
It took 27 mins to start windows today after at least 25 battery pulls!!!! WTF this cant be good for the phone.

bent battery pins can cause these problems, and these problems can cause bent battery pins!

i decided to go to NAND for a while or atleast there a better mango update or tweak that help with the freezing.

I'm also having this same problem, except that it only takes me like 10min to get it to work as opposed to your 20min. Hopefully we find an answer soon because I really like Windows Phone. I become afraid to restart my phone because it may take ages to finally work again.

The source to your problem
Try another SDcard, preferably class 2.
I tested 3 sd cards (all class 4), and all gave the EXACT same problem as you have.
Switched to a class 2, 4GB and no problems whatsoever.

I think you're absolutely right. It looks like 3 main pins and the first one was bent. I bent it back and it didn't even power on. After messing with it for a while, this time it took about 2 hours after I bent the pin, it finally booted back up.
So what can I do? Try to straighten them out and hope for the best?

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate the input.

i think what you should do is check your rom. i had the same problem so i just reinstalled everything. now my phone works perfectly.. just make sure you didnt skip a part.

When mine does this it seems like an overheating issue. If I take the battery out and let it sit for a minute before putting the battery in and trying again it seems to work just fine.
