N80 - SIM problem

Hi, had my N80 for a couple of weeks now and every now and again it says SIM Registration error and goes Offline. When i try to change back to General profile it says Inset SIM card. Sometimes when i take it out and put it back it works but after doing the same thing it isn't solving it. Anyone know why this would be happening anyway?
thanks

Try cleaning the contacts on the sim and the phone - use something soft like a cotton wool bud thing.
Make sure the SIM card isn't lose when it's inserted.
How old is the SIM card? It may need replacing... possibly.

If the problem appeared after an update and the phone had been jailbroken before the update that would explain your problem. If that is the case there there is no easy solution.

N8 restarting, sim problem

Hi, I have N8 for two weeks now and it just restarts 6times a day, and also got a sim-problem few times a day. I tried to reinstall the firmware twice, also deleted all apps and still the same...
Any ideas whers the problem?

Did you try to use another SIM card?
Maybe you can try the one of a relative or a friend... if it works, you can consider moving your number to a new SIM and replace the current one.

After ios upgrade to 7.0.4 i got power botton and no sim problem need help help

after ios upgrade to 7.0.4 i got power botton and no sim problem anyone having this problem?

Installing an iOS update does not add a physical button.
As for the "No SIM" message, try removing and reinserting the SIM or replacing the SIM.

HT201412 I dropped my iphone 4. It showed a 'sim problem' window and now has no service.

my iphone 4 slipped off a table and than later had a window that said 'sim problem' and now has no service.

Hey 35Cotton,
I understand that you're encountering SIM/service issues on your iPhone. I would run through these troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue:
Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
Toggle Airplane mode On and Off.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
Check for a carrier settings update. Tap Settings > General > About. If an update is available, a prompt will appear.
Remove the SIM Card and verify that it is a valid, carrier-manufactured SIM. Also verify that it is not damaged, worn, or modified. Then reinsert it.
Restore the iPhone.
If you still are unable to resolve this issue, contact Apple support for further assistance.

Why does Apple not put its hands up regarding the "No SIM" problem?

After about 18 months of flawless use my iPad 2 developed the "No SIM" problem.
I tried one of the many nostrums on various bulletin boards, airplane mode on /off and so on, and the "No SIM" went away for a week.
It has since come back and will not shift.
On advice from Apple support I did a full restore.
The "No SIM" problem did not go away.
I have had much fruitless dialogue with the automatons at Apple.
The bottom line is that Apple - despite hundreds of complaints on their own bulletin boards,feign ignorance of this issue.
Opinion seems to be firm that this is a hardware problem.
Apple is saying, pay up almost the price of a new iPad and we will swap nout your iPad.
This is daylight robbery with bells on and typical of Apple's business model of selling products woth built in obsolescence.
Their share price will inevitably decline as the public gets fed up with Apple's arrogance and lack of customer empathy.

While most likely not of interest to you, Spotlight can also tell you where the files it finds are located
Hover the mouse pointer over the name, and press Command-Option and the path to the file will be displayed.
As for opening a terminal session in the directory where a file is located, there is Applescripts that do just that as well as specific features in Lion/Mountain Lion terminal:

Iphone 4s getting hot up when using the network. is it a sim problem

iphone 4s getting hot up when using the network. is it a sim problem or battery problem?

You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPhone forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

Nokia N80 startup problem

hello everyone. i have recently bought a nokia n80. i have been uploading new themes on my cellphone and one of the themes messed up the screen. so i turned off and on my cellphone and this message pops up. it says "Phone start-up failed. Contact the retailer." can someone please help me fix this problem. i just had my cellphone for least then 1 month. i do appreciate if someone can help me solve this problem.
thank you.

You will need to take this to a Nokia Care Point.
Once your phone is giving the message "contact the retailer" its a fatal error.
You have already lost all phone contents not saved to sim and MMC.
You can find your nearest NCP to you at the Store Locator
Also from the IMEI you gave, your handset holds no warranty in the EU.
It was a handset which was produced in Nigeria.
You will only be able to get that fixed there.

N80 issue / problem

Sure the N80 is a great phone. I don’t mean to talk down the N80 or Nokia for that matter.
I paid $1011 aus for my N80 and the sms screen don’t even fit
(The first 2 letters are missing from the left side of the phone for each word)
I'm feeling a bit ripped off here.
I am going to get a replacement handset tomorrow because the service center said this is the best idea, but I think it’s more a firmware problem not a handset problem.
Also the gallery is great but if only there was a way to organize it into folders and not just show every images on the phone.
So what i’m trying to say is I buy a expensive phone that can’t read / write sms and I can’t organize / hide my images from the gallery.
Does any one know what the rumored firmware V4.XXXX will fix / do for the N80 and when I will be released?
Like I said i'm not bagging the N80 or Nokia I just want to fix a few problems that many people seam to have.

Hi,
I have had this problem for the past 4 months with my N80, mine is the UK black generic N80 (Bought sim free), and I am also using O2, this problem was semi regular until recently when I just couldn't recieve or send messages at all.
Today I updated my firmware via the updater for the first time since purchase, from the first release to: V4.0623.0.42 and recieved a whole mountain of text messages, since then I have had no problems but of course it is early days yet.

According to your product code your N8 is an unlocked and unbranded German variant. So technically it should accept any SIM on any network. Now, you say your phone is "Offline" which to me means the profile selected is the "Offline" profile. To change the profile to an "Online" one press the power key once and select General from the menu that appears.

"no sim" problem fixed

I thought I'd share the fix to my problem for others that may be getting the same "no sim" message on their original iPhone.
I purchased a second hand iPhone on ebay in the UK and ordered a pay as you go sim from O2 (the 'official' iPhone carrier here in the UK). The phone arrived last weekend, the sim on Tuesday.
I put the sim in the phone (using the obligatory paper clip) and turned it on, to be met with a "no sim installed" message. I tried re-seating the sim, a sim from an Orange phone, restoring the iPhone from DFU mode, just about everything from this and other forums but no joy.
I contacted O2 who told me to go to a shop. The shop was useless, they followed a script which involved them ringing the same help desk that had advised me to go to the shop, then suggested I contact Apple.
I called Apple (in Ireland) and spoke to a very helpful guy who checked that I had done all of the things that I could. He eventually suggested that I go to the nearest genius bar as it sounded like a hardware problem.
Yesterday I had a meeting in London so stopped in the Regent Street Apple store. I was seen within 10 minutes (even though I had not made an appointment). The genius diagnosed a hardware problem and changed the phone within 5 minutes, got me to activate it using my O2 sim and confirmed that I had data and voice connectivity.
I now have a new, working iPhone. My advice to anyone with the same problem is to ignore the carrier support lines (who initially try to send you a new sim without actually understanding the problem) but go to an Apple store (but make an appointment first).

how to solve this problem. I don't have any sim cards that came with iphone.
Please help out to solve this problem.
It sounds like the phone was hacked or jailbroken, and updating it locked it to the original carrier. As it is not possible to update to any version other than the current one (5.1) the fact that you updated to 4.1 pretty much confirms the phone was hacked. There is no solution that you can get in an Apple forum.

N80 Gallery 'problems'

Hi!
I have been a 6280 user and have just upgraded to the N80, i have a couple of minor problems and irritations which may be simple to solve but i can't find them.
In the gallery there is the option to look at pictures and videos but i would prefer to look at one or the other and not both at the same time. I would also preferrably like to only browse a folder at a time not all 300 or so pictures.
Finally, is it possible to view the pictures with the phone in 'portrait' mode rather than 'landscape' as they would then be bigger on the screen.
Many thanks,
Engelkott

The Gallery can be used to limit what's shown only by using the Albums feature of the Gallery app (which just alternate views to subsets of the full content).
Unfortunately, not a very practical feature in my opinion. I'd prefer to be able to organize them content to different directories (folders), instead, but the Gallery app designers have taken a differeny route. Maybe they'll come to their senses some day and it gets changed back.
