I'm guessing it's either a network problem or you're using a different sim in a locked device.
Is your phone branded?
what network are you with?
Have you installed any custom roms/radios?
sim free...
o2 IRL .. worked for first few days and just stopped ...
nope..standard as ever ... ?
Probably a blacklisted imei.
Sent from my Motorola Startac running Atari 2600 software!
I've had this problem also.
The solution was a new simcard, the old one just stopped working properly.
With the new sim my connection is better and faster, it even seems the phone itself is quicker.
Maybe keeping connected with the faulty sim used too much resources.
its def not blacklisted .. been checked
and the sim .. i got new sim and no good .. and then sometimes it works and stops working .. very annoying ..

Hi, just purchased tmobile compact from my mate who is off to a sunnier place, ive unlocked it and put in a pay and go o2 sim, everything worked fine, i installed tom tom 5 and that works fine but now on the phone side it says no service. everything was fine before, gprs etc (manually put in details supplied by o2).I have done a hard reset but the problem still exsists. the sim works fine in my other phone and my vodafone sim works fine in the mda.Is there something really simple im missing here, your help would be appriciated, cheers
Cant anyone help.?????????????
Hmm, I've never heard of this one before..
Have you tried unlocking your phone again? Or do you perhaps have a Duo Simcard pack? You know, where you get 2 simcards so you can always have a backup in another phone (I had that with my previous Vodafone subscription). If so, are you sure you don't have the other phone turned on?
Your "mate" didn't call up his phone company and get the IMEI number blocked after he sold it to you, did he? Man, now that would suck!
I had the same problem, I fixed it by upgrading reflashing radio rom. It might work for you.
i have unlocked it again.no joy........not using duel sim holder and it hasnt been blocked, just seems strange it was ok as i said then this....no service message,
update..... the mda seems to accept all network simms apart from o2........as i said it did work fine ........i just dont understand it, can you ?????

Did your "mate" also have the phone on the O2 network? If so, they may have somehow locked the IMEI. If so, you should be able to call them to allow your phone to work. Having their network know that the SIM card doesn't match who they think owns the Mini is the only thing that makes sense to me...
o2 sim works in my samsung d500........my bt (vodafone )sim works in the mda, i just cant see why the o2 sim wont work in the mda anymore.
I guess this has got us all beat, thanks for trying though.
Just spoken to o2 who say the mda has no blocks at all on it, and they couldnt figure out why the o2 sim no longer works in it.
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

Hey guys,
I finally got my P3600 send over from Europe ... (none branded HTC Version... so no Vodafone Lock or so) However, if I insert my German SIM it will be recognized, but if I do the same with my NewZealand Vodafone Prepaid it jsut tells me that there isn't any SIM inserted Both Sims work fine with my German Nokia so I am not sure what the problem is.
Does anybody have a similar problem or know how to fix this?
help really appreciated

Hi rodpacker
Welcome to the short list of members with a P3600 in NZ
Unfourtunatley I can't help you at the moment, I have a VFNZ OnAccount SIM that works fine, I guess I could try out my missus PrePaid SIM if you still can't get it to work after a couple of retries.
If you live in Auckland you could rock into CoolMobile or ETown, they were selling P3600's for a while and may have come across issues with PrePaid SIMs.
Not that it would make any difference, but do you have a SIM2 or older SIM card, and what size KB is it? Also I presume you have credit on it....
I had a similar problem when attempting to use my old China Mobile SIM, and got it sorted by getting the later version SIM card.
hm, good to hear that there is some others
I got a vodafone prepaid I bought like two months ago....Not sure which version it is. It says 128k and 3G on it. Does that tell u guys anything?
thanx heaps for ur help...
and jep I am in Auckland. Although got two p3600's and gonna sell one of em soon ... brand new!
How much where they when they were sold over here?
cheers
Rodpacker
tried another prepaid .... still no luck
last night I thought I might have to unlock my phone and it wasn't unlocked as I thought, however after ur message concerning NZ SimCards I doublechecked again and after using a German Medion Simcard, that worked I tried a UK O2 prepaid and that worked as well...I even got roaming going...So I guess I can save myself the hazzle of reunlocking the device...
Now could u maybe give me some more hints on the problem with NZ Vodafone Simcards?
thanx
Rodpacker
Hi rodpacker
A 128k 3G SIM should work. Have you tried your new SIM in another phone to make sure it's not a dud?
The P3600's were going for around $1200-1300 (NZD). Not sure why they stopped selling them (maybe because they wern't selling ). I got mine imported from the states for $800NZD delivered in box with warranty, so that's what you would be competing with to sell your spare.
jep card is working in my other phone atm ...
thanx for the price info...
good to know. Still busy skinning mine with the iphone skin and ipod player...since touchFlow isn't out for our model yet... will go to those shops u were talking about tomorrow
cheers
Rodpacker
Hi Rodpacker,
Sorry for my english..
about your problem, I remember a forum with a boy with similar problem...Can you try to speak about your (NZ) vodafone customer service. If i remember well the cust.serv unblocked a sim...
If I have not understand your problem, sorry
Bye
I think I'm about the only one who actually bought a P3600 retail in NZ, at the time it would have cost more to get it in from overseas...
But I'm probably not much help, my SIM is also on account - and is an ancient one as well! Was one of the original SIMs before the days of SIM2...
What radio version does your one have on it? Go to Start->Settings->System->Device Information to check. I've had issues with one of the later radio versions (1.46.x) in NZ, accepted the SIM ok but couldn't receive any calls. Currently using v1.38 which seems to work ok.
The radio ROM talks to the SIM, so this could be the issue.
Ok got this phone but it wont ring or recive calls ! .
After putting in my SIM card, entering my PIN code it still says no service. When you try and make a call it says "Not registered on network".
It was on T Mobile which I have had it unlocked via eBay. I got past the Google registration page by entering APN settings for my SIM card (O2).
Now I can user the browser and market etc but no calls.
I have done everything in THIS thread and think I have flashed it with
JFv1.43 RC9. (When I say think it seemed to flash but I cant see any difference so not sure if it worked).
Does anyone know how I can get the phone to work?
Thanks for your time
i have been in this same situation for about 3 weeks and after spending countless hours on phone and at store with tmobile 3 replacement phone 5 sim cards and a new number they close my account and reopened it this was just tonight so i am testing it out so far i have lost servie twice within 3 hours restarted my phone both times and regained service so im not sure if it is completely fixd just yet
Its really annoying such a simple thing. When I try to manually select teh operator in settings it says "Your SIM dosnt allow connections to this network".
I tried an orange SIM card and for some reason it puts the phone in airoplane mode and wont come out :s
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Anyone got any ideas on what could be causing this ?
Thanks
same boat
man I'm telling you that's been happening to me. except I upgrade to ION and then reverted back to haykuro's 6.0r1. everythig that;s happened to this guy has been affecting me
No service
I also have a problem with my G1. Bought it from my local polish netwerk (Era) and the phone works OK however, from time to time it looses the connection to network and it needs a reset in order to login to network again. Don't remember if it happened before they released the software which supported polish language. So what do you recon is it a hardware problem or did those useless local IT guys screwed sth up while translating android??
hi i have he same problem stuck in airoplane mode and no service has anyone found a fix yet????
I´m yet another user with the same problem. For a few hours yesterday I suddenly had service, but it stopped working in the evening again.
Any solution?
A similar problem. Tell me what to do. Thank you.
hey guys not sure if this helps but if your device is rooted did you try un rooting it? maybe get it back to stock firmware...? or do you think its your sim card?

I just bought a fido sim card and I get the msg: "cannot register on this network. choose another network, or disconnect your data connection and try again" when i try to manually connect to the network. I have using this phone with at least two sim cards back in my outcry and i bought it independently from my previous network from an eshop in Ireland..
Any thoughts? Could be the ROM and radio installed?
edit: I now saw that this isnt a thread for HTC Touch HD
Same Boat
Hi,

Still struck there

i have the same problem i have done different roms surly some one must no a fix .is it because we used a custom ROM wish i hadent have ...£400 paper weight now :crying:
I have had an unlocked Dell Venue Pro for almost 2 years and its been working fine except the usual freezing after the phone heats up while using a data connection and the terrible camera problem.
Yesterday when i was using a data connection on my DVP it heated up and froze, when i removed the battery and restarted it the phone has been working fine but it keeps giving me an error of invalid sim!!! I cant use any sim on this phone now i keep getting the invalid sim or locked sim error, all the sims are use work fine on other phones. Why am i facing this problem when i got this phone unlocked? And why after 2 friggin years restarting this phone caused it to lock the sim? This makes no sense to me at all. Obviously im out of warranty since it has been 2 years ive been using this device without any major problems. The phone seems to be working fine beside this issue, wifi networks can be connected and there are no other issues!
Can anyone please please please help me out?
