Quick Question
I just recently got the 8528 and it came with the phone, headphones (alhto my cat chewed them), disc, and the new sim card.
My old sim card is full of phone numbers. (I like keeping them on the sim card and not the phone)
Cingular said I needed to use the new sim card for 3g.
I was going to by a usb sim flasher so I could transfer my number over to my new one but I was wondering:
Is there any program for or on the phone that will allow me to dump my sim card and then put it on my new one? If not I'll buy the usb flasher but I was hoping there was...
Thanks all,
nomb
At least on a decent TyTN there is a "SIM Manager" which copies them to the PDA and vice versa. Have you tried it?
Thats what I'm using now just for the contacts, I was hopeing to be able to copy everything over at once. Like a backup -> restore type operation.
why dont you copy everything onto the device, then insert the new sim card and copy everything back to the card?
I'm having a problem unlocking the SIM. I have Incredible 2 unlock by code ( 8 digi)
ON HTC incredible 2
Settings:Security, there is a menu item for "Disable SIM card lock". + enter unlock code
but after enter unlock code , Incredible 2 will reboot
My problem is: After unlocking SIM I try to switch to GSM mode. It says "There is no SIM card on your device. Your device will switch to CDMA mode now". I tried number of working SIMs of other people phones... No success.
Change Simcard ( GSM) , turn on Htc incredible 2 , Settings>Call>Preferred Network>GSM/UMTS Mode always show "There is no SIM card on your device. Your device will switch to CDMA mode now"
I go to Settings - >Security->Disable SIM lock. It says "Sim lock disabled"
I can't make a call , i can't use GSM/UMTS mode ,I'm not in US

No solution ???
Sounds like the SIM isn't compatible. I thought I read somewhere that certain older SIM cards wouldn't work, not sure about that though.
Perhaps you can get a logcat and see what specific error you are getting. When I did this with mine, I saw something like "invalid CID...".
I tested an AT&T SIM card and it worked just fine.

Thanks mattwood2000
but how to get a logcat ?? Tool or use command line logcat in sdk http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/logcat.html
??
I recently got back to the US from France. Before leaving I called support, unlocked the SIM card, and updated my PRL before leaving from JFK. When I arrived in France, I got no reception and was unable to switch to GSM mode. I ended up not having a working phone for the entire trip.
I get back to the US and complain to customer service and they offer to replace the SIM card. After taking my phone apart I realized that the CSR at the Verizon store had inserted my SIM card backwards. I turned the SIM card around and the phone now is able to switch to global mode. The correct way to insert the card is with the cut corner of the SIM card outside of the slot on the right (if you are looking at the card in the slot).
Not saying this is your problem, but it's definitely something to check.
ouch...that hurts!!
I'll make sure to double check mine when I touch down next week.
For logcat, I use Eclipse and DDMS. Just setup eclipse per Google's instructions and once you connect your phone (enable USB debugging), you will see a logcat tab next to the console. Just look in there...lots of data will be spit out of your phone.

I have checked and tested with 05 set of HTC Incredible 2
. There has only 01 set can't be unlocked and also can't switched into GSM mode.
I thought the problem comes from the set itself, not because of the way of inserting Sim card.
Thank Petitsinge for your support.
@ Mattwood2000 : tks , I will test for sure and then inform you.

Unfortunately at work!
I looked at your logcat and that is the same as I had with my European SIM - I guess the problem is that there are no local cells that accept that carrier/SIM card. What carrier is the SIM for?
I tried my phone with an AT&T card and it worked just fine.
I suspect that when I get to Europe next week there will be no problem with my card.
Can you try another card?
*EDIT*
One other though I had is what kind of SIM card - micro, etc.?
If its a micro you will need an adapter or careful hands to get it to seat correctly.
I'm having the same exact issue as the OP any resolution? I get "Network or SIM card error" when trying to access GSM options.
Thanks!

Hi,
I am from India. I bought this phone last month and I didn't find any problem with my phone till yesterday. I ported my number from Vodafone GSM to Reliance GSM for some better tariffs. When I inserted my SIM card it restarted telling me that "New SIM Card Inserted. Restarting..". But at the next complete boot the phone restarted again telling that "SIM Card Removed. Restarting". I didn't remove the SIM Card or use anything. It is restarting whenever I put that SIM Card. I have tried replacing a duplicate SIM Card and again my phone is doing the same. Seeing many websites, I have tried blowing and sucking the slot so that may remove any dusts. (If any). And tried using the SIM Card in all other phones. It perfectly works on all phones. In my mobile I have tried using all SIM Cards. Everything works in my phone except this Reliance GSM. What to do??
Thanks,
Jagannath Sankar
try using different sim slot
My mobile is acting weird lately. The sim cards automatically gets disconnected (no service) although the sim card is still being detected.
After a while the data on the sim works but volte stops working, ie i cant make calls but can use the mobile data.
restarting the phone fixes it but it again starts to happen?
Things ive tried,
1.Tried flashing the stock firmware (India, Europe and Global)
2.Gotten the sim card slots replaced @ service centre
Somebody Help!!
Replace the sim card? Usual suspect... handle like a stick of ram. They can be damaged by ESD and the failures can be unpredictable if so.
i have the same thing.
Using an Mi5 right now with the latest LineageOS ROM, and most of the time the sim card is completley disconnected, and i need to reboot the phone, and then it asks me again for the SIMCARD pin, but sometimes i need to reboot 2-3 times until i get the message to enter my simcard pin.
Hi everyone,
I'm having issues with a physical SIM whereby my phone (Xiaomi 13 Pro) doesn't want to activate the SIM line nor can I input the PIN to unlock the SIM card. Essentially the phone is happy with the SIM not functioning at all and there's no way to change the status. I want to mention that it did prompt me the very first time I inserted the SIM for initial setup but hasn't been since then. Rebooting, turning airplane mode on/off doesn't seem to prompt the unlock/activate the SIM. I have to use that specific SIM on another phone now. Any clue on how to solve this or force the phone to unlock and activate the card?
Thanks!
Maybe try deleting the pin code with the other phone and/or using the other location.
