Hi,
I'm trying to use my old HTC Touch as a pure PDA and not as a phone, and every time i turn it on it pops up saying sim missing which is driving me insane. Is the way / a registry setting that i can change to disable this in windons mobile 6.1 or 6.5?
Thanks
Would also love to know how this can be done. I'm going to set up my 'old' HTC Touch2 as a standalone GPS device for my parents.
Not a setting but I'm using an old sim card for this. Maybe use a prepaid sim card.

That's indeed one way to do it.
I've been experimenting with the removal of components in the ROM but it seems that as soon as you remove the actual "Phone" components that a lot of issues occur with installation and reboots...
Maybe the only option will be to use a Dummy-Sim card... but I'll try some more
Just turn off phone mode in comm manager. I never get a message that sim is missing when phone's radio is turned off.

Hi All,
Now I have a Nokia N95 aswell as my Trinity , I don't want to have to keep switching SIM cards over. I always assumed the Trinity would work OK without a SIM card but it appears that the GPS doesn't operate unless there is a SIM card? - is this normal? and is there a way round this (short of fitting a SIM card? - If I get desperate I'll get a pay as you go SIM...)
Cheers
Ody
i found it weirdo and checked on my trinity... gps works very well even if the sim card is removed from the phone...
if it works without the sim then i guess the gps is not truely a apart of the radiostack
p.s.
heh if you put the comma after wierdo then you are calling him a weirdo
"i found it weirdo, and checked on my trinity"
Yes trying it again with the latest radio ROM (1.50.08.11) - it works OK??? I'm certain before (1.46.00.11) it didn't - even leaving it on for 15min next to a window? Now I get a lock in a few seconds....
Check that the flight mode is not activated. In my old s200 the GPS doesn't work in flight mode. (sorry for my english)
I have a Vodafone's TWIN sim card in which I have 2 different numbers: professional number and private number.
I am not concious about what SIM I have switched on in every specific moments so I am spending my money in professional calls and viceversa.
Everytime I want to change from one number to the other I have 2 possibilities:
1.- Turn off and Turn on the Phone in Comm Manager and enter PIN
2.- Use STK Service, selece which number I want ot switch on and enter PIN
I have been searching for a long time a program that changes the Wallpaper (or that writes anything in the main screen) based on the SIM I have switched on so I can be aware about what is the current active SIM at every moment. Unfortunately, I haven't found anything yet.
Also, is there any program to turn off and then turn on the phone with just one click as I am using it very often? Something to switch between sims in a TWIN sim card without entering the PIN?
Could anybody give me any idea? Any program that could help me for some of the mentioned purposes? Any forum in where I could continue my search?
Thank you very much in advance...
for no pin just take the pin of the sim card from the sim card settings. A nokia phone may help you...
Is not there anybody who can help me a little more?
Thank you in advance.....

I have the same situation!!! So I'm also interrested!
Hey guys...i've just installed onyx 4.7 WM6.1 on my HTC Touch, and it never selects the network when it starts, i have to turn off the phone the cellular radio and turn it on again everytime the phone starts to select the network so any one got answer to this problem please?!
Mmm, this problem is quite unheard off.
Anyway, I have a quick solution for you, go to:
Start -> Settings -> Go to the Personal Tab -> Phone -> Go to Network Tab -> and under Network Selection you might want to set that to manual and select the operator of the network.
Do remember, when you go and roam (Travel Overseas) Make sure you set that back to automatic, so you can connect to other countries networks.
i have made it on manual already and i didnt work either...look i have removed the sim while installing the rom..mayb i should try and install it again with the sim in the mob?!!
mmm, have you tried other operator's sim?
If they can work, means your sim fault.
Vice Versa, if the new sim card dont work, thats most likely your phone's fault?
Have you tried hard-resetting?
well...about that i found what's wrong and i installed 2 different roms and the same problem exists!!
the problem is when the fone starts it doesnt ask me for the pin while it requires the pin 2 start....soo when i enter the pin in the phone setting it runs normaly
so what i've currently done is making it not 2 ask 4 the pin code
but i still dont like that option but i dont know what 2 do?
in the same way when i put my sim in my old fone..it runs normaly and asks me 4 the pin before it starts?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
mayb this's a radio problem?!!!!!!!!! i tried to install the new one 3.39 but i'm still facing the same problem?!!
What pin can that be?
Is it your sim card pin?
Check with your operator if there is a 'PIN Code' locked on your sim card.
yes..the sim card pin!

Yup, call your operator for details.
Your operator is the person who charges you for your monthly bill!
They will guide you through it, just tell them that you lost your PIN code for your sim card.
I'm going to try to downgrade the radio version...but i want 2 be sure if that is ok, and wont destroy anything in my phone
Yup, no problem, its okay to do that.
Whats the problem now
Need the cabinet files to configure phone for Airtel mobile network(India).... I believe clubimate.com had these settings... but that site does not work anymore...
Thanks
can't seem to get any help around here....

found by using search for the word Airtel if you need other hits
well i've tried dat b4, but it doesnt seem to help, my phone is not detects the SIM card but its always on 'off'... i can't access STK or SIM contacts either...
These problems started appearing after I fitst flashed over the original ROM that came with my phone(why didnt I take a backup ),
It actually started I think when I messed with the EXTRom, I feel this cos now my extrom does not auto execute after a hard reset or after a flash... 0
So i feel some necessary files aren't being installed...
Any ideas?????
same thing with my htc vox. wont detect sim card.
Clean the contacts.
flyboy
do u mean SIM card contacts??? or phone contacts?
I don't really have any contacts on the phone memory cos I dont use that phone now, for obvious reasons..... but the SIM card works perfectly on any other phone...
And what do u mean by 'cleaning'? As in just delete all the contacts or sumthin???
Thanks
errmm....
metal contacts on sim and phone!!!!!
lol
flyboy
well it does detect the SIM card so I dont think theres any problem with the contacts of either SIM or phone..
The problem is it just says 'phone is off' with no option to turn it on...
The reason why I know it detects the SIM card is cos when I remove the SIM card the network icon says 'No service', and when I insert the SIM card I get the message 'The phone is off'..... So that obviously mean it detects the SIM card on the phone but its not able to turn on...
Any ideas?
Hi,
I bought a new Mega in Germany, put HardSPL on it and then flashed it with WWE Europe - 1.28.401.4 and it all worked like a charm
So first thx a lot for all your hard work on here!
After I finished making all the setting on the phone and installing some apps I powered it off and put my SIM card in (Vodafone Germany) and when I powered it up with the SIM card in it stuck in some annoying HTC Connection Setup screen and there was no way to use the phone any further as to let that wizard set up my connection settings which I really didn't want to do. (cause this sets up my phone to use web.vodafone.de as access point but in order to use my data plan I have to use wap.vodafone.de).
But since there was no other way (or at least I couldn't find another way lol) to get my phone to work with the SIM card inserted I completed that Connection Setup thing and then removed the connection it added and set up my own one to use wap.vodafone.de instead.
Fortunately the phone didn't use the web AP while it was there so that I wasn't charged and so this is not a major problem right now but I would really like a way to disable / remove / bypass this "forced" Connection Setup for the next time I a have to reflash my Mega or if I just want to insert a different SIM card without having that wizard messing with my settings everytime.
Thanks,
