[Q] On my third N1 and still faulty - can't see SIM card

[lchiu7]

I am now on my third N1 after RMA'ing the first because of pink tinge camera issues and poor wireless performance. The second worked fine for a bit and then began to randomly reboot and lose the network. Often after rebooting it would go into a loop which only a battery removal would fix.

The third unit worke for about 10 minutes and after I managed to get it back to the state I wanted, it lost the SIM card displaying a no SIM card error message. I tried the SIM in other phones and it was fine (T-Mobile SIM) and other working SIMS were not recognised in the phone.

So yet another call to HTC and a request a replacement. I am flying close to the wind here since my warranty expires Jan 7 and there's no guarantee that the next RMA process will be complete by then.

Out of interest, in case it's just a simple SIM contact issue, how does one clean the contacts on the SIM holder in the phone?

if your restoring a back up or an app that could be the issue or a corrupted SD card.

How old is your SIM card? I am not 100% sure but for TMO in NY I had to replace my SIM when I went to a different Sony Ericsson phone, before I got the Xperia. After that my phones worked no problem.

But like the other member mentioned, you could be loading a corrupt system backup. I had a SD card cannot be read because of a bad build.prop I had installed.

It turned out to be a bit less complex than that. The sim was not sitting properly on the contacts but once I jammed a piece of paper on top of it to make it contact better, the phone recognized it. Not sure it this is a good long term solution or should I continue with the RMA process.

Well it's not perfect, but it works, so depends on how much you want the hassle.
