I've spent the past few days reading and troubleshooting but I can't fix this issue.
I'm in Hong Kong using the 2005 model phone. After the upgrade both SIM cards no longer connect. I can only get one card to connect at a time. Has anyone else had this issue or does anyone know of a fix?
What's strange is that if I put my SIMs into a co-workers 2001 One Plus 2 running the exact same software both of my SIM cards will connect like the used to. Any ideas?

I have a Qtek 9100 running the latest ROM and radio, etc on the Cingular network. The other day I get no signal, and reboot do not fix the problem. I take the sim card, and put it in a different phone. The other phone gets a signal, but says I can make emergency calls only. After about an hour on the phone with a Cingular rep I agree to drive to the store and get a replacement card. The replacement card fixed the problem. 4 days later, I am back to the same problem. The cingular rep is now blaming the phone after they can't figure out whats wrong. He is telling me the phone is "Zapping" the sim card. I find this hard to believe, but has anyone had this problem before? Has anyone ever tried to do an RMA with Qtek? Any help would be great, as i'm ready to put this 9100 on ebay and be done with it, unless an RMA with Qtek is worth it.
Happened to me last week with my 9100 (still running the original ROM). Got a new SIM and it's been running fine since.
i've had my 9100 rom on my 8125 for acout 2 weeks now without any major problems. the only problem I have is that it switches back and forth from gprs to edge a lot, but it doesn't bother me.
have you tried to reflash back to the cingular rom? it couldn't hurt.
I actually am running the Cingular ROM. I already replaced the SIM card 4 days ago, and it worked for about 4 days until it broke again. It doesnt make much sense, because something has to be corrupting the SIM card. When I ran *#*#364#*#* GSM utility, it would give me no data at all. Obviously the SIM card is dead (But still reads contacts on the SIM), and reauthorizing it does nothing to restore it. I will get a replacement today and verify the SIM continues to work in a different handset before I put it back in the 9100. Also I plan to factory default, and upgrade to latest ROMS etc before I try it again just in case. If anyone has any other ideas, let me know. Thanks.

Aqueous, very much the same problem here. I got my Qtek9100 yesterday and I am connecting to Cingular. When I switch on the phone it takes forever to latch to network. The
Y.
Y..
Y... keeps happening for ever and ever. But once, it latches it stays on to it firmly. If I put the sim in my old phone Nokia3230, it just connects to cingular with a snap as soon as the phone is switched on. When I tap on the " Y " region it shows "searching...". I also tried doing a manual/automatic network detection in settings. During the time the "Y. Y.. Y..." keeps going, the manual detection of networks doesnt show a single network in the list. I dont know what could the problem be, since the sim just works perfect in old phone.
By the way, what does

Hi. Currently my g3 prophet works only as a pda The phone function doesn't. It is somehow unable to detect any network. Does anyone know how to confirm whether if this is a hardware problem or a software problem.
I don't know whether if it is because I switched roms. Bad news is I don't have my original rom...which is the dopod 818pro here in malaysia. I've tried several radio roms too and no luck with those eithers which leaves me to think that it could be an hardware issue.
Hopefully someone might be able to help me out without maybe troubleshooting steps for a newbie. Thanks in advance.
I want to add that i tried opening the SIM manager to see if it is a sim card connection issue and I'm able to see the sim card properties, ie like the memory size and so on which to me means that the unit can speak with the sim card.
I've already flashed to the most basic rom which is an original that is from the wiki and tried all the available radio roms below.

Am I missing any other things that i need to do/try?
Ok.After spending a whole day trying to figure out whats wrong...I tried a different sim(from a different service provider) which now works.
At first maybe I thought it would be sim locked so I got hold of lokiwiz to unlock. However after running the program, it tells me that the phone was never locked.
So now I'm back to square one. Does anyone else from Malaysia have this problem? I'm trying to use Maxis (which doesn't work) while inserting a Digi one will.
hmmm strange. bought mine in malaysia as well. no problems after i upgraded radio roms & also touch 7 & 8. works in malaysia, europe & now new zealand, roaming & using 'local' sim cards
phones in malaysia are never sim locked maaa AFAIK
maybe it is a sim card issue. some sims are 64kb & others are 128kb?

Yeah thats the thing...i KNOW that phones in malaysia are never sim locked but I couldn't think of any other explanation for the strange behaviour except that. I didn't think that sim cards could cause such issues as I am very sure other users must be using Maxis like with the prophet without a problem.
I've tried out a few different friend's sim cards (some of which are from the same carrier as i am) and it works. I guess something is wrong with mine although it works in their phones though. Some stupid compatibility issue? Never heard of this before though.

I received my updated Xoom yesterday but I keep getting this error: "The SIM card is missing or not readable. Please insert a SIM card." Has anyone else had this problem???
I spent about an hour on the phone with Verizon, another hour in an actual Verizon store (so I know the SIM card is fine) and about an hour this morning with Motorola. Bottom line, I have to send the unit back for repair--this, after I've already been 2 weeks w/o it. At least Verizon is being helpful, they gave me an account credit since I have not been able to use the device on their network for weeks now.
Probably never going to buy Moto again (at least not an unfinished product by Moto).
Has anyone else experienced this SIM card problem?
Hi, I recently bought a new Yotaphone2 (YD206) taking advantatge of the Singles' day discounts, but I am having some trouble connecting to the mobile network.
Since I did not have a nanosim available from the beggining, I started by updating its ROM (I used the last Russian one, while keeping the Chinese radio) and then I rooted it. So far so good.
The thing is, after my microsim was cut into a nanosim (the guy at the mobile phone store did it, using one of these "staplers"), I inserted it in the tray but it is not recognized on the phone. On the screen you can read "No sim card - emergency calls only".
At first I thought it was the radio, and I even flashed it again. I also went back to the original chinese rom, with no success. I think it's not a radio problem, since I can get some statistics in the *#*#4636#*#* menu, but I am not a 100% certain. Of course, I've already tried rebooting, setting the airplane mode on and off, removing and inserting the sim again, etc. Apart from that, wifi, bluetooth and everything else work as expected.
The sim card works, because using a microsim adapter I can fit it in my Nexus 4 and it gets signal. There are three options here: either the radio is not properly configured/flashed, the phone is faulty or the sim has been wrongly cut.
Could you help me troubleshoot the problem?
Solved!
Solved! It was the sim card, it was not properly cut. I used some sandpaper so sand one edge that was a bit rough. I didn't even have to reboot, the phone asked for my pin inmediately. I'm using the last EU rom with the chinese radio.
Yay! Happy!
I have the same issue now and my yotaphone 2 was bought in China... I've tried the sim cards from two companies, both didn't work. I doubt I received a defective product.
