i been having sim card problems with my iphone 5. am i the only one?

Hello,
I'm also had problems with Iphone 5 , it read no sim card, i solved problem by removing sim card and cleaning with alcohol and q-tip and installing back.
Shut down phone.
On the side of phone , you will see a small pin hole, insert paper clip and sim card will come out, be careful to do it over a clean towel as not to let drop on floor, make sure your hands clean while doing this.
Insert sims card back and turn on, it should work again.
Good Luck.

  • Numerous Problems With My Phone. Am I the only one?

    I got the Droid Charge in June 2012 so it's been about 7 months that I've owned this phone. The phone was fine at first but in the past few months, I've experienced the following:
    Phone shuts off at random times (when the battery is not dead)
    Phone randomly restarts itself
    Phone dies but when I plug it into the charger it says 100% and doesn't actually charge
    Phone says it's charging but either charges really slow or maintains the percentage it had when I first plugged it in
    More recently, (as in today and the past 2 weeks) I've had these problems:
    Phone will charge when it feels like it
    Phone will be on charger for hours but will only increase battery life by a few percent
    Phone will allow me to use data but I can't make/receive calls or respond to texts (4G doesn't disappear but there's a solid grey triangle at the top)
    I still am unable to use anything but data, the only difference now is that my phone says no service (which is impossible)
    There are a few phones on my line that are working properly with NO issues so I know that this has to be phone related.
    I really need my phone to work again!

    Been having problems with mine for a while also. I found changing the USB cable with my changer helped with the recharging issue. But i am fed up with this phone acting like this. Quick browse around others are having issues too.
    I am going to wipe it clean and see how things go. My fear, the issue is going to be the OS. My wife's phone is also having issue.

  • I'm having an unusual problem with my iphone 4S. When I'm making a call, it suddenly sounds like my call has been invaded by aliens! Why is it doing this? I'm also having problems sending texts. Sometimes it sends sometimes it doesn't.

    I'm having an unusual problem with my iphone 4S. When I'm making a call, it suddenly sounds like my call has been invaded by aliens! Why is it doing this? I'm also having problems sending texts. Sometimes it sends sometimes it doesn't. What is going on? Can it be fixed? I'm really not liking this new phone!!!!

    Could be an issue with your Carrier and/or location...
    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart..  Reset..  Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
    Try a Reset...
    Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release the buttons...

  • Hi i have a problem with my iphone 3gs. i updated the software to ios 6 but now when trying to activate the phone it comes up with a message saying that the activation server is currently unavailable, also it always says no sim! what can i do?

    i have an activation problem with my iphone 3gs. i updated the software to io6 using itunes but now the phone will not complete activation because it keeps saydin the activation server is not available and to re try later. ive been trying for 6 hours but it still wont activate. if i try using itunes then it sayd no sim inserted when there is one inserted, what can i do?

    You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
    and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money..

  • I have a problem with my iPhone 5 stopped working the sleep / power and simultaneously refused to obey the HOME button. I can not use either one or the other. I can not enable or disable the device, display lights up when you plug the charger. same displa

    I have a problem with my iPhone 5 stopped working the sleep / power and simultaneously refused to obey the HOME button. I can not use either one or the other. I can not enable or disable the device, display lights up when you plug the charger. same display works fine as it is surprising. or maybe someone knows what is the reason for this? is there any way to solve this problem?

    More than likely its a hardware issue, I have never encountered such a problem and best bet is to just go get it replaced. If you have insurance on your device apple will replace it as long as there was no water damage, if you dont have insurance they will charge $200 more or less. Hope you get it fixed

  • I have a big problem with my Iphone 4...the pics and videos that i capture, often shows as inverted or orientted by 90/180/270 degrees. photos, one can rotate, but how about videos... is there any way i'm going wrong? this wasn't happening earlier

    My question...
    any answers pl.

    If I've understood you correctly then the ALLEXCEPT function may be what you're after and it could be applied in a similar way to the following...
    =
    RANKX(
    ALL(Table1),
    CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS(table1),
    ALLEXCEPT(Table1, Table1[ContactReason])
    DENSE
    If this has missed the mark, would it be possible to clarify the requirement further?

  • Updated my iPhone to new iOS6 and my Memory Loader app does not work!  Is there a fix for the problem as it seems I am not the only one coming across this issue?

    Updated my iPhone to new iOS6 and my Memory Loader app does not work!  Is there a fix for the problem as it seems I am not the only one coming across this issue?

    Other than what you have already done, you should clear the cache from your browser and, if you use it, your Facebook app.  Also, deleting old texts can free up some room.

  • I am having a recurring problem with my screen suddenly enlarging to the point where I cannot use it!  The power button is also unresponsive.  When it does work and the screen is large, I cannot access the slide at the top.....

    I am having a recurring proble with my screen suddenly enalrging to the point where it is unusable. The power button is also not working.  When I try to shut off the phone to restart it, I cannot swipe across the top to power off vbecause the screen is so big and unresponsive.  Can someone help me with this problem?

    Double tap the screen with three fingers to switch off zoom, then go to setting and disable it to make sure you don't switch it on again by accident.

  • Poor GPS reception in IPhone 3GS, am I the only one having this problem ?

    Since I have many problems with GPS drop outs and poor signal strength errors when using navigation software for Iphone 3GS firmware 4.0.2.
    First I reset my Iphone completely and installed all apps from scratch, but this has not solved my problem.
    I now tried several tests to compare with both an Android phone HTC Desire and a very old Symbian phone Nokia E65. Neither the Nokia E65 or HTC Desire have any drop outs in the GPS reception while my Iphone has several dropouts, making navigation horrible.
    Am I the only one having this problem ?

    Unfortunately, you are not the only one (I personally use TomTom with car kit). This is one of the numerous bugs introduced by iOS4 and this one has been reported by many in this forum. Be careful not to use your iPhone based navigation system in a foreign country, due to high roaming costs ! I had to use it and nearly had an heart attack when reading the invoice.
    Apple doesn't care. Unfortunately, I have to care for my budget.
