Hi all,
Do any of you keep having the No Sim Card icon keep popping up in the Notice bar?
I just had it again, it happened once last week too, I think my signal drops out then I get the notification.
It usually disappears after a short while but this time I had to remove the sim tray and put it all back in again.
Weird.

Happened to quite a few, most fixed it by sticking a tape (or two) under the sim card to make it "thicker" so that the connectors touch better. I've had it happen a couple of times, but I just turned the phone off and back on and was good (switching to airplane mode and back didn't help).
I get this from time to time as well, that's the first I've heard of trying to 'make the SIM thicker' for a better contact, I'll have to give it a shot. Just out of curiousity, the SIM I'm using was a mini-SIM that I cut into a micro-SIM - is this the case for you, or was yours actually a micro-SIM to begin with?

Mine was a micro-SIM. Before using the "tape method", why don't you get an original micro-sim; that might easily solve your problem more easily.

I have had my Tilt for quite some time and a few months back it started telling me there was no SIM card and it can't dial out. At first it was an easy fix, just disconnect and reconnect from network, but over time that stopped working. I found someone in the forums here had put a folded piece of paper in the SIM door to press the SIM against the contacts, so I tried that. Again, it worked for a while but the problem came back. I replaced the paper with a small piece of cardboard, and now it will connect again but the SIM is getting warped and I fear it's only a matter of time before this starts becoming an issue again. It still does it from time to time, and I jiggle the cardboard into a new position and it works again. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and perhaps found a better, more permanent fix? The SIM contacts are clean as is the SIM card, btw, I already tried that. Any help is much appreciated.

Hey guys i have had a HTC TILT for a while. I stopped using it a while ago, but i tried recently and i did the HARD SPL installed a 6.5 rom did the radio as well, but i'm getting a "sim is missing" error, with any sim that i try. Are there any fixes to this? I'm confused, thank you
No offence, but, are you sure you're inserting the SIM correctly? I spent half an hour trying to figure that one out on a late night... .
If not that, then check the contacts are in the correct position and free from any dirt/grime.

I inserted the right way. This issue was happning even before i did the hard spl. But the phone didn't have this issue until like a year of not using it. I tried googling stuff i see many people had this issue too but i cant find the answer.
I had the same problem and had to replace the main flex cable which ran me about $30 on ebay. Everytime you slide open your phone the flex cable gets worn down and this can cause other problems such as it not reading your memory card and white screen of death.
But before you do anything see if applying more pressure on the sim card by putting a thin piece of paepr between the sim card and locking dor. I heard that this can fix it if it's a minor problem. Good luck man.
Being the phone unused for one year, maybe the sim bay's contacts gets oxidated?
Buy a dry contact cleaner in an electronics-store (sometimes you can get it at hardware too) but be sure it's the DRY type
Turn off the phone, pull off the battery and spray contact cleaner in the sim bay
Leave it evaporate (the greasy one doesn't evaporate... :-( )
Restart phone and check if solved....
Is anyone else experiencing this? As far as I can tell there's nothing wrong with the SIM card, voice/data/text still work fine even with the notification present. The notification only goes away when I reboot the phone.

The SIM card error is said to be a problem with the SIM tray people usually just remove it and put it back in, u might also want to check the SIM card for any noticeable scratches of some sorta if your worried. As far as the usefulness of the SIM card its just for LTE so if your not in a LTE area now or anytime soon you should be good for now but if ur in a area and want to use LTE you might want to check your SIM card. Its removable like any other phone its located on the top left of the device and removing doesn't affect your voice/text however the data might be but thats only if your trying to get on LTE it should work perfectly on 3g
How do I remove it? I know where the slot is, but it looks pretty flush with the rest of the phone.

there's a little hole right beside the slot push a paper clip or somrthing in the hole to release card
I get the same No SIM Card error message too. Reboots and removing/reinserting makes it go away for awhile, but it keeps coming back. It will usually come back within a day.
I know it's a software bug because not only did it never happen before installing a 4.3 Rom, but everything still works (3G, LTE, SMS/MMS, calls etc.) when the No SIM notification is present.
Edit: Attached some screenshots. First is an in-progress Speedtest using 4G LTE, the other is my LTE IP address... both showing the SIM Card error notification.

I got this too but I just rebooted my phone and it went away. It's been gone for about 12 hours so hopefully it stays gone. But the weird thing is that I actually still got LTE when I had the notification that the SIM wasn't instered so it's not that big of a deal. Just reboot and see what happens. Also, my One didn't come with a SIM removal tool (Idk why) so I just used a little needle. I couldn't get the tray to open but after I stuck the needle in, it went away. If it comes back, I'll just go to Sprint and have them open it

Put a piece of Scotch tape on top of the card to fix it.

Which side of the card?

Top side. That error pops up because the card is loose. Putting some tape adds just the right amount of thickness to keep it secure.

been getting this error also after update, if its the card that is just loose why didnt it happen at all before the update?
I started getting this error after the 4.3 update also when I never received it before either. Sounds like a software glitch to me.

I have an annoying problem with my One that I really hope someone can help me fix:
After taking out my sim card, I cannot put it back in and make it stay put. I put the sim card in the tray, put the tray in the slot, but it is like the spring/mechanism that pushes the tray out (when pushing a pin in the tray openerhole) got stuck, and I cannot make the tray stay put. Hence I have to keep the tray/sim card in place with a piece of gaffa tape... And that doesn't even work well, as - appart from looking silly - the spring/mechanism pushes the tray harder than the tape can hold after a few days.
I searched a lot for a solution to this problem, but it doesn't seem to be normal.
Anybody? Please.

Sorry, I don't know of a fix. It sounds like your lock mechanism is broken which is a hardware fix.
Maybe, you can find a case that forms around the phone and it would or should hold the card tray in place.
Call HTC Service Center to see if they have a solution.

Thanks. I'll look for a case. Though the phone is big enough as it is. I'll ask at my local HTC-shop as well.

as a temp solution you could just use a small piece of clear tape
Happened twice now.
Mobile network just stops, leaving me with the icon shown in the screen shots
Last time it happened I just powered off and back again..
On 371
L29
Anyone else had this happen?? Never happened before.
Could just be the age of the phone or the SIM card developing a fault but have never had a phone of mine go like this before.
Roll on oneplus 8 release, can't wait to get rid of the phone.
Use your sim on the second slot to see if the problem is fixed.
I had problem when i was talking on the phone the call would randomly drop out. this problem was more than a month and my sim was 1 year old. i cleaned the sim but nothing changed, when i used the second slot is working fine.

Must be the slot then.
I'm actually using a rebranded L09
So only one SIM slot.
It's been ok since the power off so will keep an eye on it.
Cheers

Ye it's been happening more frequently, happens when I go out of range, ie: basement and then come back..
Might just need a factory wipe..
@StatikBlue
And as luck would have it...look what just happened lol.
Going to leave it, to see if it comes on by itself or if there's any other way.
Edit: it didn't, cleaned the SIM tray, blew into the hole (like it was the SNES days) and I'll see how it goes.
That's the symbol for no sim card and/or faulty sim.
Unless the sim is actually faulty, the most common reason is if the sim is dirty, as the contacts can corrode slightly over time (the same as your chip & pin credit card can).
Give it a clean with a bit of cotton wool and alcohol, or failing that simply rub the chip with your thumb!
If it keeps happening, get a replacement from your carrier (usually free) & if it then keeps happening it's probably dirty contacts in the phone....
Had it occasionally with different makes of phone over the years so not just a Huawei problem & you'd be unlucky if it's a faulty phone.

Yea I'd done that pal. Seems to have been a poor contact, hasn't happened since.
I've never had this issue myself..

Lol, just the SIM tray, pulled the sim, wiped over both..blew into the empty SIM hole.
Kind of like having a super Nintendo when you had to blow in it to get it to work
Ah now I gets you.
