So, I bought a bone stock Streak from the Best Buy Mobile today - things were working earlier until I took the SIM out and and put it back in my iPhone 3GS. When I swapped back, I noticed my Streak won't charge nor can I send texts or make phone calls and I've seen the message "SIM card Error" when trying to make calls.
Any advice would be awesome because I love this thing!
Edit: Device says now charging. Currently shows '!' in the battery symbol. How long does it need to stay on the charger before it'll actually power on?
Figured out my issue - I read a while back about another member who had to put a piece of a business card underneath the battery. I did the same; now she charges and I don't have that pesky SIM Error message anymore.
XDA is AWESOME!

morning,
Ive just put my new simcard in my old phone (spvm700) to copy the contacts over, when i put the simcard back into the touch HD, i get the no sim screen. Now the only thing i can think of is that when putting the sim in i bent it slightly to get it in, to clear the battery. I didnt realise till after, that if you take the battery out then it just slides in without bending. I put no more pressure or bent the sim anymore than is necessary to insert the sim in the m700. When i put the new sim in my old phone it works. when i put the old sim in the new phone, i dont get the no sim screen, it boots but as the card is cancelled there is no orange logo etc. I borroed a new orange sim off a friend to try in the touch Hd and it also says no sim.
New phone on its way tomorrow.

I can buy it from you for $100
unfortunately orange want the old one back
now if only i could get the active synch to work last night, i wouldnt have this problem!! I use thunderbird and not outlook. but could i hell as like get it to synch with the copy of outlook on my machine that i dont use.
I would of thought that the CD with the phone contained a version of outlook - every outher PDA Phone I have purchased - even the diamind) did?
I cant check either as my box is a work - and I use exchange push to sync so no need.
Did you get replacement via orange care?
its does come with a trial version of outlook. I already have outlook on my machine but i dont have it setup.i put a pretend email adress in just to set it up and when trying to synch with my phone, i got an error, cant remember what it was as im at work.
i'm not sure if it was orange care or not, she didnt say, i only put orange care on the day before!
update time....
new one turned up. all working fine plus now i have an extra sd card, plus box etc - charger

Now you got twice the kit?? Sounds like a good way to get an additional charger and give an SD card to my gf for her phone
i cant seem to get the volume buttons to work properly. they are doing odd things, now they dont do anything.
Hi!
My first HD also had a defective "Volume Down" button (sometimes stuck pressed, sometimes not working at all).
Try removing the battery cover and clean the buttons. If the problem persists, exchange the phone! I did and the new one now works much better. The power button of this one even sticks out a bit so I can press it without using the fingernails - which was necessary with my first HD!
Regards!
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.
So for a while now (probably 3-4 months) I've been having SIM card issues and I don't remember if they started before or after my phone was rooted and running CM...Anyway, a little SIM card thing shows up in my status bar and it says like "SIM card not recognized" or "Please insert a SIM Card" or something along those lines. It doesn't let me use the network at all. Usually I fix it by turning the phone off, taking the SIM Card out, putting it back in, and turning the phone back on. Sometimes it'll work, other times, I'll have to repeat it. I thought the problem was the SIM Card because it had 3 scratches on it from the contact points, so I got a new SIM Card yesterday but it's still doing the same thing. When it started I was either on the stock ROM (unrooted), CoreDroid, or CM7 (stable). About a month ago I started using the CM7 nightlies.
Does anyone know what the problem might be? Could it be the phone itself?

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.
Hello
I few days back I opened my sim tray to take out my sim card and the the tray got stuck along with the sim. The sim is inside ,the tray only come out half way. Phone is functional I can make calls , send texts . But once the phone reaches 10% battery it shuts down on its own. Its been happening ever since the sim got misplaced. What should I do? The warrenty expired last month. I am just afraid of getting it dissembled . Will it affect it my performance once it gets dissembled? Is there no way to take it out without any of it.
Please help!!

You shouldn't let your device run that low any ways. Read up on deep discharge bug. There is a possibility that it won't turn one again. Btw most of the newer devices shut of anywhere from 5 to 15% so this is normal
