Data SIM doesn't work in X1 Carbon 20A7005PMH

Anyone experience with entering APN and Authentication on Windows 8.1?
It prompts me to enter my PIN and then refuses to connect. Then suddenly it says Insert SIM. And then I have to reboot to get the SIM detected again.
What I tried:
- SIM works in my phone when configured manually
- My other SIM works in my X1C2.
Combinations:
DATA SIM + X1C2 = NO GO
DATA SIM + LUMIA 930 = OK
SIM + LUMIA 930 = OK
SIM + X1C2 = OK
I get no option to configure my SIM card manually in my X1 Carbon 2nd gen. This is obviously frustrating.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I was having issues getting mobile broadband working in my ThinkPad X1 Carbon. My provider is Mobistar in Belgium.
When my secondary SIM-card (data SIM) was in my X1 Carbon, I couldn't go further than entering my PIN-code, and then eventually failing network authentication. Then all I was left with was an error message that I couldn't be authenticated by the network.
Eventually Windows 8.1 would ask me to "Insert a SIM / No Service". Because apparently after entering my PIN-code it would fail to detect the SIM-card, unless I completely shutdown my X1 Carbon and then started it again.
I had two SIM cards at first:
Primary SIM-card: Is a Micro-SIM I manually cut to a nano SIM to get it fit in my Nokia Lumia 930. With Dolphin 15.
Secondary SIM-card: Nano-SIM with Internet Everywhere 2GB.
These are the SIM-card formats for my devices:
Nokia Lumia 930: Nano-SIM
ThinkPad X1 Carbon: Micro-SIM
These were the combinations I tried:
Micro-SIM cut to Nano-SIM size with Micro-SIM frame
ThinkPad X1 Carbon
Works
Micro-SIM cut to Nano-SIM size - Nokia Lumia 930
Nokia Lumia 930
Works
Native Nano-SIM with Micro-SIM frame
ThinkPad X1 Carbon
Fail
Native Nano-SIM
Nokia Lumia 930
Works
The solution?
Get a native micro-SIM if you are having problems. Nano-SIMs are only 0.67mm thick, while micro-SIMs are 0.76mm thick. Then there are also differences in the SIM-card chip itself as you can see in the picture below. The black lines are different, and the micro-SIM chip is slightly larger as well. Getting a nano-SIM with plenty of adapters won't save your day or is not an all-round solution you can use because it appears to be conventient or simple.
Notice how the chip of the micro-SIM is slightly larger compared to the nano-SIM. Also the black lines are slightly different.

  • Reinstalled 10.3.4, now date/time doesn't work or open

    I had a hard drive failure, a company replaced my drive with a new one in my G4. The new hard drive works fine, they reinstalled 10.3.4 from my original disks, but the date/time doesn't work and I can't open that panel even.
    So I just resinstalled from those disks again and it still didn't fix this problem.
    Also my old password for installers doesn't work either, but it lets me bypass it.
    Any suggestions?
    Should I just try upgrading to Tiger and see if that works?
    Thanks

    blackrhino:
    Not sure what the problem is, however, before you go reinstalling or upgrading try this:
    1. Reset PRAM.
    2. a. From a cold start, boot from your installer disk holding down the "C" button. Go to the Installer Menu and open Disk Utility.
    b. Select your Mac OS X startup disk.
    c. Select the First Aid tab in the Disk Utility window.
    d. Select Repair Disk button in Main panel. If problems are found run again and again until no problems are reported.
    e. Select the Repair Disk Permissions button on the First Aid tab.
    f. After Repair Disk Permissions completes, Quit (Command-Q) Disk Utility.
    3. Update Software to 10.3.9 (Go to Apple Menu and select Software Update.
    Post back after these operations.
    Good luck.

    Greetings alex.bonifacio! I'm very sorry that you're having connection problems with your iPhone 5. While would love to help in any way I can, the device must at least be on an active line of service with Verizon Wireless in order for me to be able to make any changes. I must therefore urge you to contact your local wireless carrier for your equipment options. Good luck and thanks!

  • Date object doesn't work in query filters

    I'm trying to create a universe object called Next Biweekly Pay End Date.  Some background: there is an end date for our biweekly payrolls every 14 days, and the logic behind the object is basically that if there was a biweekly pay end date 7 days ago, the next one is 7 days from today (that is, sysdate + 7), etc.</p>
    I have it working so that it displays the correct date when used in a WebI report.  However, when I use it in a query filter in a WebI report (like, Pay End Date = Next Biweekly Pay End Date), I don't get an error, but I also don't get any data.  Somehow my object doesn't work in a query filter.  The purpose of the object is for use in query filters, so I need to get this to work.</p>
    My best guess about why it doesn't work in a query filter is due to some issue with the data type.  Pay End Date has a data type of date in the universe.  I gave Next Biweekly Pay End Date a data type of date also, but the query filter still doesn't work; I get "no data to fetch."</p>
    We're using XI 3.1.6 and Oracle 10.  Any ideas about how to get this to work?</p>
    If it helps, here is the definition of Next Biweekly Pay End Date.  The logic is that it takes today's date, subtracts Oct. 31, 2009 (a biweekly pay end date), divides by 14, and looks at the remainder.  If the remainder is 0, then today is a pay end date and the next one is 14 days from now.  If the remainder is 1, yesterday was a pay end date and the next one is 13 days from now, etc.</p>
    case</p>
      when mod((trunc(sysdate)) - (to_date('31/10/2009')),14) = 0 then (sysdate + 14)</p>
      when mod((trunc(sysdate)) - (to_date('31/10/2009')),14) = 1 then (sysdate + 13)</p>
      when mod((trunc(sysdate)) - (to_date('31/10/2009')),14) = 2 then (sysdate + 12)</p>
      when mod((trunc(sysdate)) - (to_date('31/10/2009')),14) = 3 then (sysdate + 11)</p>
      when mod((trunc(sysdate)) - (to_date('31/10/2009')),14) = 4 then (sysdate + 10)</p>
      when mod((trunc(sysdate)) - (to_date('31/10/2009')),14) = 5 then (sysdate + 9)</p>
      when mod((trunc(sysdate)) - (to_date('31/10/2009')),14) = 6 then (sysdate + 8)</p>
      when mod((trunc(sysdate)) - (to_date('31/10/2009')),14) = 7 then (sysdate + 7)</p>
      when mod((trunc(sysdate)) - (to_date('31/10/2009')),14) = 8 then (sysdate + 6)</p>
      when mod((trunc(sysdate)) - (to_date('31/10/2009')),14) = 9 then (sysdate + 5)</p>
      when mod((trunc(sysdate)) - (to_date('31/10/2009')),14) = 10 then (sysdate + 4)</p>
      when mod((trunc(sysdate)) - (to_date('31/10/2009')),14) = 11 then (sysdate + 3)</p>
      when mod((trunc(sysdate)) - (to_date('31/10/2009')),14) = 12 then (sysdate + 2)</p>
      when mod((trunc(sysdate)) - (to_date('31/10/2009')),14) = 13 then (sysdate + 1)</p>
    end

    Thanks for the suggestions.
    I did some more testing, and there seems to be something more complicated going on.  I ran the following code in SQL*Plus:
    SELECT distinct M_PYDW1.PYSTATUS.DW_OWNER,
    case
    when to_date(sysdate, 'dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss') >= to_date('01/01/2010','dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss') then To_Date((sysdate - 2),'dd/mm/yyyy')
    else to_date(sysdate +2, 'dd/mm/yyyy')
    end
    FROM M_PYDW1.PYSTATUS
    The condition should be true, because the sysdate (today is Jan. 20) is greater than 1/1/2010, so I should get a result of sysdate - 2 (Jan. 18).  But the result I get is Jan. 22 (sysdate +2).  It seems that the comparison is failing even though I'm formatting both sysdate and 1/1/2010 as dates with a timestamp.  What could cause that?
    One more mystery: when I run the same code as above in a WebI report (using custom SQL), I get the error ORA-1830, date format picture ends before converting entire input string.

  • Aperture 3.2: renaming based on date/time doesn't work properly

    While importing I rename my photos based on the date/time they were taken.
    In Aperture 3.1.3 this worked perfectly fine; for photos taken within the same second Aperture added an index number for the second, third etc. photo automatically.
    In Aperture 3.2 this doesn't work any longer; Aperture simply doesn't import photo number 2, 3 etc. of that particular one second.
    Note: I store the original files outside the aperture library, all run under snow leopard on an iMac i7. And as I said this worked fine under 3.1.
    Does anyone have an idea?

    Thanks all for the response
    Leonie, here are the details of what I do/experience:
    a) Aperture message after import
    b) I import pairs and rename them as follows “IMG_{Image Date}_{Image_Time}” (I know all the disadvantages of this but old habits are hard to break… and for me it still works fine)
    c) Difference of the images that are imported / not imported is solely the hundredth of the second when they were taken. Of my test series only the first image has been imported:
    DSC_4903.jpg(2011/10/19 22:49:50.08)
    DSC_4904.jpg(2011/10/19 22:49:50.25)
    DSC_4905.jpg(2011/10/19 22:49:50.43)
    DSC_4906.jpg(2011/10/19 22:49:50.60)
    DSC_4907.jpg(2011/10/19 22:49:50.80)
    d) I import via the import panel: Import in new project – storefiles in particular folder (not Aperture library) – subfolder ‘imageyear/month” – rename as described above – import both
    Doug, after some trial and error I agree with your thoughts, Aperture apparently simply lost its automatic indexes ‘-1’, ‘-2’ etc. and – what is good - doesn’t overwrite the first with the second and the third image... As you suggest there are different options to make the images unique. Most simple would be to add {index #} or {sequence #} or {counter}, all would do and I probably will choose one of them. Or I will downgrade back to 3.1.3 (do have backups) and wait until Apple fixes this.
    Kirby, turnoff “Don’t import duplicates” was a good idea but didn’t solve it. But your naming convention actually ensures the uniqueness of the files.

  • WARNING: Adjust Date & Time doesn't work

    I bought Aperture 2.0 because I was thrilled they finally have an adjust date/time feature. The interface is great, but it simply doesn't work.
    I was trying to adjust a batch of images by 30 seconds to get it in sync with another camera, however, it ended up adjusting it by 30 minutes!
    I was trying to get the time to change from:
    1:33:09 PM to
    1:32:39 PM
    and the image ended up at
    1:00:33 PM
    Anyone else had a similar problem or a solution for this serious bug?

    I added my own topic earlier this morning. In my case, it's working just fine if my primary image is RAW and all selected images are also RAW (Canon 300D). It also works just fine if the primary and all selected images are JPEG (from either a Canon S3 or a Panasonic Lumix digicam). However, if the primary image is RAW (Canon 300D) and any selected images are JPEG (anything modified in iPhoto, or originally shot in JPEG from by Canon 300D), all **** breaks loose on those JPEG image dates.
    I have some which went back a few months, but most of them jumped forward between 6 months and 2 years.
    Again, something is severely broken with this function.
    Anyone know how to get the original dates back? Please? I'm setting aside several hours tonight to restore the pre-2.0 backup, export my 2.0-only projects, and import those back in, just forgetting any changes I'd made to historical project files in the meantime. This really *****.

  • In VI Logger, Beginning Of Data button doesn't work when viewing graphs

    This button doesn't work correctly when I view logged data. Instead of jumping to the beginning, it jumps to beyond the end of the data. The other 3 buttons work fine (scroll forward and backward and go to end of data).

    In order to provide a better answer, it would help if you could post the version of VI Logger you have (if you are not sure, you can find this out in Measurement & Automation Explorer under the Software folder) as well as the operating system you are using.
    I am running VI Logger v1.1 on a Windows XP machine and the four buttons all work properly when viewing the graph of logged data. There is a known issue where the behavior you saw, with the "Beginning of Data" button not working, has appeared on a system that runs a German OS. If you are running a comparable OS then this behavior might occur and there is currently no fix for it.
    If this is not the case for you then try to provide a little more information on your system and we can look into it further. T
    hank you!

  • Since installation of Mountain Lion the latest version of sony Image Data Converter doesn't work anymore. How can I tackle this problem?

    Since installation of Mountain Lion (10.8.2) the latest version of Sony Image Data Converter (Ver. 4.6) doesn't work anymore. How can I solve this problem?

    HI,
    I have seen this with AIM Logins that use the SSL Server and not the original server that was non SSL
    Since iChat 6 the server name has also changed as has the Login port (Although we were suggesting using the port 443).
    The AIM SSL server "Falls Over" more frequently than the other server.
    Also iChat/Messages reconnects automatically to the NON SSL server but not to the SSL one (It is a security risk)
    You had to manually Log out by Untick "Enable this Account" then Log back in again.
    I have not seen this happen in Jabber accounts but I don't use my computer the same way you  do.
    Jabber Servers tend to either use SSL or Not and can rarely login if you change to not using SLL.
    It also seems a bit strange that Disabling the account, as you phrase it, and re-enabling does not work.
    For Googletalk Logins try logging out then changing the port to 443 (Googletalk allows this port as well as 5223)
    Also check the Keychain (Applications/Utilities > Keychain Access)  and see if there is an issue with any Gmail or Googletalk certificate.

  • IPad started saying no sim a week after warranty expired, new sim doesn't work. Apple store said nothing they can do I have to buy new iPad. Surely this cannot be true, it's only a year old on a 2 yr 3G contract please please help

    iPad 2 started saying no sim, exactly 1 yr old. Went to get new sim which also failed to work, seemed to be a Lot of people experiencing same problem. 3 store said apple knows its an issue. Tried everything suggested in forums, took it to apple store for full restore. Nothing helped. Apple store said I had to buy new iPad as mine was 10 days out of warranty. Please help, surely this. Can't  be the case. I thought apples customer service and products were good. I am fixed into a 2 yr 3 g contract with a year to go.

    Hi Debbie, it was a nightmare tried 3 new sim cards non worked. Apple refused to help as it was 10 days out of warranty and i hadnt extended the warranty I hunted Internet and asked couple of American techie guys from my geeks . It seemed to be issue with latest iOS upgrade and my problem happened after I upgraded to its 5.1.1 eventually I had to sit in Apple store with printout of all other affected users. It seemed Americans had been offered new iPads and problem was being acknowledged but not here. Although network providers said they had a lot of customers with same issue. I did get new iPad after long battle and had to pay for extended warranty. Good luck

  • Select various entire lines in data grid doesn't work

    Still 3 other ways that I see:

    * click on the first cell of the first row, then drag to the last cell of the last row
    * click on the row number of the second row, then click on the first cell of the first row and drag to the last row (most like what you want)

  • Why my scroll bar of a data block doesn't work?

    Hi,
    I have a data block that displays a maximum of 9 records at one time. When the query returns more than 9 records i want to use a vertical scroll bar to navigate to the last records.
    In some forms it works fine but in others not , i still didn't find why ??
    Cheers,

    Nuno,
    Rather than trying to find a needle in a hay stack, I would recommend taking a step backward.  This will help to rule out whether the issue is something you caused or if there is an issue with the environment or product.
    Create a new module in the Builder.  Do not add any of your own code.
    In the Builder, connect to a database (File > Connect).
    From the Builder menu, select Tools > Data Block Wizard
    In the Wizard first screen (after Welcome), select Table or View then click Next
    On the next screen, click on Browse to display the tables available to you.  Choose one.
    All the columns in that table should appear on the left.  Click on the double arrow (>>) to select all of them.  Then click on Next
    Click on Next again
    Choose the option to create the data block then open the Layout Wizard.  Then click Finish
    In the Layout Wizard, click on Next (after the Welcome scree) to choose the default Canvas.  Then click on Next
    Click on the double arrow (>>) to choose all columns. Then click Next
    Click Next again.
    Choose Tabular as the layout style.  Click on Next
    Change Records Displayed to 4 and check the box labeled "Display scroll bar".
    Click on Finish
    Again, do not make any changes to anything in this form.  Run it.  Does it reproduce the same problem you experience in your previous form?  If this form works correctly, likely the issue is in the design of your other form.  If this test form fails in the same manner then you are either exposing a defect or there is an odd configuration issue.

  • How can I have uploaded pictures to iPhone or iPad be sorted by file name. Used to be able to based on their folders, but it no longer works and puts pictures in random order, I guess by date, which doesn't work for me. Need them by file name.

    Using windows. In the past I was able to have the picutres sorted in files and by file name and that is how they showed in the phone or pad. Not long ago one of the itune updates changed so it sorted by date and the the another update changed so it went by file name. Well when I got a new computer and updated itunes it won't load pictures in correct order. Is there an option I'm missing or is this an option that Apple should have for how you want pictures sorted?
