This icon is always on!
It says "Zone" underneath it
I am in my zone
Apparently ,this has something to do with the SIM Toolkit
I tried stopping the SIM Toolkit service and the icon disapears... together with my phone connection. Then it auto-restarts back again
So after doing a factory reset and everything I could think of trying, I got my cell carrier, Videotron, to replace my cellphone, brand new, unopen box, new SIM card, new SD card and all... Well guess what... the icon is still there... on the brand new phone

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!

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!
I'm not sure if this is a common issue or just an issue with my sim card.
Looks like the sim card just stopped working this morning. I can't make/receive any calls or texts and the lock screen says "Please insert SIM card and restart".
I've restarted about 3 times now and have tried removing and reinserting the sim card, with no luck.
I figure I'll need to take it into a T-Mobile shop to get a new sim card, but my Vibrant has been rooted and has a the Obsidian Froyo rom installed.
Should I just plug the SIM into my old blackberry and take it in that way for replacement?
Or is this some known issue that can be easily fixed?

I have had this happen to me twice. Once, the SIM went bad (it happens).
I called TMO told them that it's not working & they said they'd get me a new SIM. I had the option of going to an authorized TMO store or getting it mailed to me. I went to a store, they installed & it off I went.
The other time, I took some rubbing alcohol and a QTip to it & cleaned it up, let it dry, put it back in & it's been working for a little over a week now
So, I'd try giving it a cleaning first and if that doesn't work, give TMO a call.
If they don't know that you have the Vibrant and think you still have a BB, then yeah, I'd put it back in that rather than bringing in the Vibrant if you have to go to the store. It's just easier when the person helping you isn't trying to force you to change your plan at the same time.
Question: The phone won't let you do anything without a SIM card? If that's true, that's just another reason to be glad I SIM unlocked my phone....that would get annoying!
Old Tmobile sim cards actually have a certain amount of times they can connect to the network tower. If you use airplane mode a lot it you may reach this point quickly.
And some sims cards just go bad. Which I think is the case with yours tjhart85. Take the phone and card to Tmobile. Tmobile will change the sim card for free.
Yup, turned out the sim card just went bad. Called up T-Mobile customer service, they put a not on my acount, and went into my local T-Mobile store and got a new sim card. Phones working great now. They didn't even ask for the old one and didn't have to look at my phone.
Thanks guys!
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.
My mom just got this phone yesterday and in the notification bar it says 123456 on the left side. I have done some searching and not seeing anything about it.
Does anyone know what this is and how to get rid of it?
the left side should only be displaying what carrier the phone uses. try turning the phone off and re-seating the SD card. also, make sure you have the card in the 1st slot, as this phone is a dual sim setup.
Hello,
I just got the Axon on amazon, a 2nd hand one.
I inserted my sim card and there is no way to have the cellular radio on. I did an full wipe twice, swapped sim, inserted a new one... nothing. Signal strength is zero. I tried also to do an emergency phone call (it should work even without the simcard) nothing. It says that I'm in aeroplane mode. But it's not. I did a manual search of the network, it says error while searching for networks... If I select choose automatically it says registered on the network (but it's not!).
I installed LTE discovery and it says that radio is off... I've tried to reset data connection... nothing...
any thoughts ?
I will send the phone back to the seller but if it's just a software glitch I would rather keep it ....

-Look on the back of the phone, below the Dolby Atmos and "do not dispose of" symbols, and tell me what is the model of the phone. It may be an A2017, and if that's the case maybe they installed the wrong modem and erased the IMEIs
-Try putting your SIM on the 2nd slot
-Try finding the phone's IMEI from the system, maybe it is under About phone - Signal status or sth like that.
-Try another SIM
Those are my ideas for the time being. I also remember there was a secret code that you can put on the phone app, it opens a settings app with a bunch of tweaks and you might be able to change something. Just google "axon 7 secret codes" or similar

Hello,
many thanks for your answer...
I've both IMEI available, I've tried 4 different sims in all slots, the situation is the same. I've also found some secret codes,
*#*#4636#*#* and from the phone info tab I says service: radio off ...

Send it back... almost 100% not a software issue
Mine stopped working out of nowhere, the radio that is. I sent it back in and they send me a new one, no questions asked. Although the replacement they sent me may have been refurbished and I set the phone down and picked it back up and the screen was unresponsive after. It turned on but I think the digitizer got unplugged or something because I couldnt do anything on the screen. Yay for mid-range phones?

I've read that you can fix that by applying pressure on the screen, like in the center, then going to the sides or something like that...
The digitizer is the same plug as the screen though, so it didn't get disconnected
