invalid or missing sim, new batery and mysterious connector

[paulorosa]

Can anyone explains to me what this connector is for ?

(below green arrow)


I got a new battery from ebay ( Cameron Sino Tecnology).
This baterry don't have any metal surronding, like my old original battery

I star to have SIM problems (invalid or missing sim,) after install the new battery.

Then I realize that in the back of universal there is a connector that if pushed the sim stop's working. I Put some paper to avoid the battery to push this connector and no more sim card problems...

Can anyone explains to me what this conector is for ?

Can you describe in more detail what the problem was?

Were you able to use the Uni for an hour or so and then receive the "invalid or missing sim" error or did your device not recognize the sim with the ebay battery at all?

Because I've been having this issue on one of my Unis where it'll work for an hour or so and give me that same error message (invalid or missing sim) the only fix for this is to reset the device, but then the error shows up again.

I know there have been a few people on this forum with the same issue and perhaps you have solved the problem, unless your issue is different from mine. So if you could please confirm the above!:)

According to the Manual that "connector" is a spring, part number: 72H00856-00M... its on page 103

I was random a litle bit random... Some times It recognizes the sim card but If I try to connect to Internet using 3G , It fails after some time of surfing the net...

But I think the random behavior was before I donwgrade to Original Shiped ROM ( ROM+Radio+ExtROM) of Imate Jasjar with Radio version 1.09

I try this way because I want a new fresh start...

Now I upgrade to version 6.1 but still using Radio 1.09. ( rom is pdaviet uni_20273).

I had to find a way that the battery is not pressing the spring.
I put a piece of paper that I took form cigar box and folded thow times to give it volume....

You can start trying maintain the baterry conected to HTC without pressing the spring , and do a few resets... Never closed the batery compartment.

yes is a spring I called a connector but is as spring ( sorry for my bad english)

I think that maybe when the spring is pressed the HTC uses the metal of the batery as an antena amplifier and disconect internal antena ??? maybe ?
